* ChummyCommies: Manages to play both this and DirtyCommunists, as while he is an antagonist, his dedication to communism [[note]] implied to be specifically [[UsefulNotes/LeonTrotsky Trotskyism]] given his use of the phrase "permanent worldwide revolution" and the RealLife Red Army being Trotskyist[[/note]] is treated sympathetically, and he shows a fair bit ''more'' honor and concern for his men than many of the protagonists' allies.

->Voiced by: Tetsuya Kakihara (JP), Paul Dobson (EN)

* TooDumbToLive: Their method of finding "Le Mouche" is attacking every random black person in Roanapur, while having no local connections or resources, not even packing anything bigger then handguns. Naturally when they begin to run into the local heavies, this backfires real quick.

->Voiced by: Shimpachi Tsuji (JP), Creator/PaulDobson (EN)

* StupidEvil: Everything he does only makes the situation worse. He never learns from his mistakes, nor does he listen to the input of wiser, more experienced individuals. He believes that because he's a crime boss he can get away with some really dumb moves. [[spoiler:It gets him killed]]

* NotSoDifferent: Zig-zagged towards Rock. He starts making the comparison as two men driven by ideals they compromise on but never give up on. Rock throws it in his face. Takenaka then admits they probably are different. Rock later admits he had a point in the comparison, and the arc becomes another point in Rock's CharacterDevelopment that leads Rock to be not so different after all.

* NaiveNewcomer: An ''extremely'' dark example, but an example all the same. He comes to Roanapur having not done his research and has no idea whatsoever how things work there, and his attempts to throw his weight around are brutally rebuffed by the professional criminals he encounters. Despite being told many, many, ''many'' times that he has no idea what he is doing, he absolutely refuses to hear it and keeps pissing off all the people in the city who you are not to piss off under any circumstances, and SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome occurs.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's an Irish getaway driver [[BadassDriver whose car driving skills are completely flawless]], even though he drives under the influence of so many drugs that he tends to spend his workday screaming various non-sequiturs about pop culture. [[spoiler: [[RealityEnsues Eventually he overdoses and winds up in an institution.]]]]

* ThemeNaming: The codenames of each member is the French word for a particular finger.

* AdvertisedExtra: Though they appear only in one arc, their popularity led to twins appearing in advertising and merchandise.

* BrokenBird: [[spoiler:Raised in snuff films made them nasty little buggers.]]

* CorruptTheCutie: [[spoiler:Raised in snuff films made them nasty little buggers.]]

* {{Acrofatic}}: While not too major, Claude can move when he needs to and manages to stay on the Lagoon when Dutch rocks it to toss the others off. Even Revy's surprised at how fast he can be though Claude admits that its taxing on his old bones.

* BadBoss: The whole reason Jane ran away is his mistreatment of his employees.

* HiddenDepths: The first hint that he's more than your average Roanapur gangster is when he calls out his name to Revy and Eda during a shootout and they actually ''stop'', if only for a brief moment. When Elvis decides to gather bounty hunters to capture Janet Bhai, they only respond when Lobos personally requests it. These trigger-happy, violent criminals ''respect'' Lobos, not Elvis and not Russell. At the end of the Greenback Jane story arc, both Dutch and Eda voice their faith in Lobos to wrap things up, much to Russell's incredulous disbelief. In a WretchedHive such as Roanapur, Lobos is one of the few people that the city's various powerful gangsters ''trust'', which is a herculean feat in itself.

* NoRespectGuy: PlayedWith. Elvis and the rest treat him like crap and see him as a coward for trying to deescalate any situation they find themselves in. However, Dutch and the people living in Roanapur tend to bypass his allies and talk to him directly because he has better situational awareness.

* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:It's strongly implied he kills Elvis at the end of the arc for being an idiot who would have kicked off a gang war.]]

* HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:Is killed by Eda when he twigs to the fact that she is a CIA operative.]]

-->''I'll show you who's boss, stupid engine! When this is all over, I'mma drink til I go blind! And fuck expensive women til my balls hurt! Don't push me, you damn nun! I'm sick and tired of dealing with you people!'''

* BunnyEarsLawyer: All of them have some sort of quirk--Robert is sex crazed and a few hours in a cell next to him while he prattles on is enough to make Revy even more homicidal, Montero constantly quotes the bible apparently sincerely despite being a hitman, and Park Seung is dumb but insanely tough.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: They're almost always seen together, provide some of the show's most brutal violence, and even converse in a similar manner shown on the trope page.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: With Lotton, at first. Later on, he acts mainly as Russel's primary bounty hunter.

--> '''Leigharch:''' [[AskAStupidQuestion No, I'm a fuckin' lawyer! What you do you think?!]]"

* CuteAndPsycho: Cute and innocent-looking ? Check. AxCrazy ? '''Check'''.

A group of five girls working for [=DGSE=].

%%* ButtMonkey

* TheGhost: They are a ''quartet'' of criminals, but every time someone asks about the fourth, they're interrupted. When Eda and Rico research the brothers, the fourth mysteriously has no pictures. [[spoiler:This is because she is a master of disguise, and by the end of the arc impersonates Revy in order to covertly assassinate Feng. The real Revy is able to kill hherm before it's too late.]]

A gang consisting of three men who consider themselves to be brothers, and a mysterious fourth member. They consist of Montero (Afro Brazilian), Robert (Caucasian American) and Park Seung (Korean-American). They were secretly contracted by the PLA to take out Feng to avoid being compromised in the long run.

[[folder:Race Brothers]]

A gang consisting of three men who consider themselves to be brothers. They consist of Monkero (Afro Brazilian), Roberto (Caucasian American) and Buckson (Korean-American). They were secretly contracted by the PLA to take out Feng to avoid being compromised in the long run.

* TheGhost: The race brothers are actually a ''quartet'' of criminals, but every time someone asks about the fourth, they're interrupted. When Eda tries to do some research on the brothers, the fourth mysteriously has no pictures. [[spoiler:This is because the fourth brother had his skin grafted to look like Revy in order to covertly assassinate Feng. The real Revy is able to kill him before it's too late.]]

* {{Jerkass}}: Unlike Balalaika or Chang, who are ruthless gangsters but usually personally affable, Ronnie makes no effort to hide how much of a violent, ruthless scumbag he is. [[spoiler: When offering Feng sanctuary and a job at the end of the Wild Red Card arc, he initially offers to shake her hand, but when she approaches, he grabs her by the hair and makes it clear he is the boss and if tries anything funny he'll kill her.]]

%%* MonsterSobStory:

* BadBoss: He's almost as bad to employees as Chaka, Black Lagoon's premier jerkass.

* ChummyCommies: Manages to play both this and DirtyCommunists, as while he is an antagonist, his dedication to communism [[note]] implied to be specifically [[UsefulNotes/LeonTrotsky Trotskyism]] given his use of the phrase "permanent worldwide revolution" [[/note]] is treated sympathetically, and he shows a fair bit ''more'' honor and concern for his men than many of the protagonists' allies.
