Codename: Kids Next Door/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[She's All Grown Up|He's All Grown Up]]: Teen!Hoagie is pretty cute (not to mention much thinner), and even manages to catch Cree's attention.

* [[Improbable Piloting Skills]]

* [[Loving a Shadow]]: His crush on Cree is pretty superficial, given he focuses on her beautiful appearance rather than her unpleasant personality. {{spoiler|It's implied his crush was based on his own implicit feelings for his teammate and Cree's sister, Numbuh Five.}}

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Hoagie P. Gilligan ''Jr.'', appropriately enough, a twofer reference. First, there's "Gilligan," a reference to the title character of ''[[Gilligan's Island]]'', who was also second-in-command on the ''S.S. Minnow''. Then there's the "Jr.", often used at the end of a boy's name to signify that he's the second male in the family to have inherited his father's name (a seemingly throwaway detail that actually foreshadows the importance of his [[Disappeared Dad]], Hoagie P. Gilligan, Sr.)

* [[Nice Guy]]: He does have flaws, but he's still a very friendly and cheerful guy, and is the only one who lacks the [[Anti-Hero]] attributes the others have.

* [[Nice Hat]]

* [[Opposites Attract]]: {{spoiler|With Numbuh Five.}}

* [[Private Detective]]: His side job, in full-on, [[Conspicuous Trenchcoat|trenchcoat]]-clad [[Film Noir]] mode.

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The blue to Numbah Four's red.

* [[Salt and Pepper]]: With Numbuh Five.

 

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Ascended Fanboy|Ascended Fangirl]]: {{spoiler|She becomes CEO of the Rainbow Monkeys Corporation when she grows up.}}

* [[Asian Airhead]]: Type Two.

* [[Girls Love Stuffed Animals]]: Her room doesn't really have anything else.

* [[Happily Married]]: {{spoiler|To Numbuh 4 in future, not that anyone was surprised.}}

* [[Idiot Hero]]

* [[Kawaiiko]]

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Kuki ''Sanban'' -- "Sanban" is Japanese for "third"; Kuki is a misspelling of "kooky" (meaning crazy or off-kilter) and refers to her ditzy, [[Cloudcuckoolander]] personality.

* [[The Medic]]

* [[Nice Girl]]

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Has shown hints of this, especially regarding her relationship with Numbuh Four.

* [[Running Gag]]: Trying to use the Hippity Hop mecha in battle never ends well.

* [[Single-Target Sexuality]]: Contrasting with her [[Dude Magnet]] status, she hasn't shown interest in anyone not named "Numbuh Four".

* [[Spoiled Sweet]]: She's frequently shown to be pretty spoiled (especially regarding Rainbow Monkeys), but she's as sweet as they come.

* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Her cheerful personality (or at least part of it) is revealed to be a mask to keep her from falling into depression. Considering her [[Dysfunctional Family]], it's hard to be surprised.

* [[Action Girl]]: Especially when up against Cree.

* [[Agent Scully]]: Is usually skeptical toward Nigel's conspiracy theories and will often be wrong.

* [[Betty and Veronica]]: The Betty to her sister's Veronica for Hoagie's Archie. {{spoiler|She wins by a landslide.}}

* [[Bifauxnen]]: Dressed up in a suit once for a dance.

* [[Happily Married]]: {{spoiler|To Numbuh Two in the future.}}

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: In "Operation: Z.E.R.O.".

* [[Hypocrite]]: [[Tropes Are Not Bad|A part of her]] [[Not So Above It All]] schtick. Cases in point:

** She endlessly criticizes Numbuh Two's puns, yet she makes bad puns herself when alone. This may be justified due to her being a [[Tsundere]] towards Hoagie.

* [[Broken Bird]]: A villainous example.

* [[Burning with Anger]]: Not just [[Wreathed in Flames]], but they increase in intensity when angry.

* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]

* [[Child-Hater]]

* [[One-Winged Angel]]/[[Scaled Up]]: In "Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S.", he turns into a ''dragon''. Somehow.

* [[Playing with Fire]]: Gets it from his dad.

* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: {{spoiler|With Numbuh Zero.}}

* [[Sinister Silhouettes]]

* [[Stepford Smiler]]/[[Tsunshun]]: He may act all happy and aggressive most of the time, but ZERO makes it explicitly clear he's not nearly as happy as he presents himself.

* [[The Unfavourite]]: He's this to Grandfather, being treated like absolute shit while he sings his praises towards his older brother, {{spoiler|Numbuh Zero (who is a hero, by the way).}}

* [[Vile Villain Saccharine Show]]: At least at first.

* [[Villains Out Shopping]]

* [[The Danza]]

* [[Dark Action Girl]]

* [[Face Heel Turn]]

* [[Fallen Hero]]

* [[It's All About Me]]

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Jerk]]: Sure, she may have her nice moments with her younger sister, but she's not above being an [[Ungrateful Bastard|Ungrateful Bitch]] who treats her horribly. And while she does want to reconcile with her, she does want to do so by forcing Abby into a [[Face Heel Turn]] proving that, even if she cares about Abby, she cares more about [[It's All About Me|herself]], not willing to make ''any'' effort into repairing their relationship (that ''she'' destroyed in the first place).

* [[Kick the Morality Pet]]: To Numbuh Five. ''Constantly''.

* [[Not So Different]]: From Mushi, as they're both the evil, treacherous and ungrateful sisters of the two female protagonists of the series. She's also this with Chad.

* [[Ship Tease]]: With Maurice.

* [[Teens Are Monsters]]

 

 

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]

* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: He's show several signs of this through the series. Idiot though he may be, this does still apply.

* [[Evil Uncle]]: {{spoiler|Mild on the evil, he's this to Numbuh Four.}}

* [[Evil Twin]]: {{spoiler|To Sid, Wally's father, although the term "evil" should be used very loosely.}}

* [[Fisher King]]: When he rules the world, he uses his [[Reality Warper]] abilities to convert into an old-style [[Crapsack World]] complete with child labor, Industral Era-style factories making tapioca pudding for him to eat.

* [[Genre Savvy]]: Is smart enough to NOT underestimate [[Hope Springs Eternal]] and understands he hasn't really won until he's destroyed the Book of KND, which let Numbuh Zero defeat him the last time. And he also doesn't go out to find it until nearly the entire world is under his control and the Kids Next Door are all but destroyed.

* [[Humanoid Abomination]]

* [[Irony]]: His relationships with his sons in a nutshell. He loves and dotes on his oldest son {{spoiler|Numbuh Zero}}, who rebelled against him and wants nothing to do with him; yet he despises his youngest son Father, who followed in his footsteps and desperately wants his approval.

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Jerk]]: He does deeply love his son Monty, but he doesn't pull any punches when he becomes an obstacle in his plans. While this could be chalked up to his [[Blue and Orange Morality|unconventional moral code]], his [[Jerkass|general dickishness]] absolves him of nothing.

* [[Large Ham]]: Is an even bigger ham than his son.

* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Literally. He had his memory erased by Numbuh Zero using some kind of laser, reducing him to a harmless old man until he's "recommissioned" by Father. This actually seems to be the only way to defeat him, as all other attempts failed completely.

* [[Palette Swap]]: She has the same character model as one of the Delightful Children From Down The Lane.

* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]: She's Nigel/Numbuh One's girlfriend.

* [[Violently Protective Girlfriend]]: To Nigel.

* [[Woman Scorned]]: At worst.
