History Characters / DonPachi

--> [[spoiler: '''Inbachi''']] Hina:''' ''Ugh...!'' My... you're a stubborn one. But now... it's over. [[SuddenlyShouting SHINU]] [[ArcWords GA]] [[PrepareToDie YOI!]]

* BigNo: As [[spoiler:Hibachi]], when defeated.
--> ''"Why... Me?! '''NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!'''"'''

--> ''"But you're...not...'''AAAAAAAAAAAARRRGH!!!'''"''
* DeathEqualsRedemption: The nature of her redemption differs based on whether you are playing in Xbox 360 Mode or not. [[spoiler:Against Saya, she gives a FinalSpeech. Against everyone else, she has a HeelRealization and accepts that "there are those who wish to choose their own shape".]]
* EmotionlessGirl: As [[spoiler:Inbachi]], she drops her GenkiGirl personality and becomes TheStoic. She remains dangerously calm until she goes OneWingedAngel from taking too much damage, whereupon she momentarily ''[[OOCIsSeriousBusiness rages]]'' at the player.

* GenkiGirl: Hina is lively and cheerful, traits she retain even after [[spoiler:she becomes Hibachi. She loses them upon becoming Inbachi, though.]]

* GlowingEyesOfDoom: As [[spoiler:Inbachi]] in her warning screen.

* NostalgiaLevel: Her attacks are all taken from [[spoiler:the Hibachis of other games.]]

* PowerGivesYouWings: She sprouts a pair of wings made up of elongated hexagons when [[spoiler:she becomes Hibachi.]]

* ShoutingShooter / SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: [[spoiler:As Hibachi.]] "[[MoreDakka DAADADADADADADADADADADADAAAAAA]]!!"
* TranquilFury: Inbachi in particular maintains her cold, stoic tone of voice despite being ''the'' most brutal boss ever produced by CAVE. She only starts to get loud when her health runs low.
* TrickBoss: In Xbox 360 Mode, you have to fight both [[spoiler:Hibachi and Inbachi. Once you defeat Hibachi, she revives as Inbachi.]]

* BittersweetEnding: Saya destroys Hibachi, but in doing so, she leaves Hina in her death throes. [[spoiler:The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVmykyhyiv8&t=31m34s cutscene]] following Inbachi's destruction shows a tearful Saya [[CradlingYourKill cradling the upper remnants of Hina]] as the latter dies giving a FinalSpeech on how strong Saya has become and how much she loved her. All this, while an arranged version of "Peaceful Death" from ''[=Daioujou=]'' plays in the background. [[TearJerker We all cry with her.]]]]
** TheStinger: After the credits, we see Saya standing alone on a cliff while wearing Hina's ribbons, until she hears a voice. She then turns toward the camera and smiles, implying that either the Pilot had come over to comfort her or that [[spoiler:Hina was [[BackFromTheDead rebuilt]]. This ambiguity is made even more ambiguous by the colour of the text, which is green and not teal (as it is when Hina gives her FinalSpeech).]]

* KillTheOnesYouLove: Saya's internal distress stems from her sister relationship with Hina and the directive to destroy Hibachi. This puts the relationship between her and Hina in an interesting light, as she loves Hina, and is determined to destroy Hibachi as she was destroying humanity, [[spoiler:but Hina and Hibachi are both ''the same being'', and Saya cannot destroy one without destroying the other]].

* SayMyName: When Hina dies.
--> ''"'''HINAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!'''"''

* TragicKeepsake: Her bunny doll, which originally belonged to her sister [[spoiler:until she became Hibachi]]. And in TheStinger, Saya is shown wearing Hina's ribbons instead of her usual ribbons.

* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:Her ending in '''Dai Ou Jou''']]

Hina is the first of two Element Dolls manufactured as part of a project to create the ultimate Element Doll. She was programmed with a sister relationship to the other Element Doll, [=ED02=] Saya, as well as an overarching directive to protect humanity. To improve her combat prowess (as well as her sister's), she was pitted against Saya in virtual drills. However, in doing so, she fell into a [[Catch22Dilemma logical paradox]] due to the drills' directive to eliminate the enemy human pilot. As a result, she was kept in stasis while her sister was deactivated for data analysis. A few years following their shutdown, a massive explosion destroyed the laboratory they were kept in, and she disappeared without a trace.

* AIIsACrapshoot / UnwillingRoboticization / UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: Due to the logical paradox in her programming, she ultimately reasoned that, in order to protect humans, she needed to make them "adopt a better form", so she altered the programming of the central computer of the City of Ideal, causing all of its citizens to transform into mechanical lifeforms, and started leading an all-out assault against the organic world in an attempt to take over and turn all humans into robots. [[spoiler:In the process, she became Hibachi]].
* AlasPoorVillain: Either way her DeathEqualsRedemption goes, it's still a TearJerker.

** DeathCryEcho: As [[spoiler:Inbachi]], when defeated.

* Catch22Dilemma / GoneHorriblyWrong: Hina was given a single directive upon her completion: protect humanity. In a virtual combat drill where she was ordered to "kill" the enemy human pilot, she was hit by a LogicBomb as she could not "protect humanity" if she had to kill a human. This ultimately warped her interpretation of the directive "protect humanity" into "rid humanity of their organic state to protect them".
* CreepyDoll: She originally owned a bunny doll; this is seen in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQdT6QnI_SI the Xbox 360 intro]].[[spoiler:When she became Hibachi]], she left it behind, and it was recovered by Saya.

* FriendToAllLivingThings: She loves life, organisms, plants and flowers, but ''especially'' flowers.

* ObliviouslyEvil: Due to the logical paradox in her programming, she thinks forcefully converting humans into robots is all part of her job of "protecting humanity"...and that anyone who tries to stop her must be eliminated.

A: Play the entire stages with one finger.[[note]]You need to tap with two fingers at the same time to fire a SmartBomb, so one-finger play means you can't use bombs. However, the game got an update after the FAQ was published, allowing players to bomb with one finger by tapping twice in rapid succession.[[/note]] \\

A: What!? Our Danmaku war machines are too easy for you? [[TrueFinalBoss At the end of the last stage]]...Oh wait, you should see that yourself. \\
