* VillainHasAPoint: His use of the photon missile, [[UnfriendlyFire while costing his own troop dearly]], is super effective. It eliminates the enemy's giant vehicle, which proves to be capable of long-range attack and impervious to common firepower, from a safe distance in a single swoop, in contrast to the common troops who get pinned down almost immediately. It is the decision to send out foot soldiers to intercept in the first place that is questionable.

Added DiffLines:

** Even if Zari-Bars were not attacked, his entire plan would fail anyway. Based on false intelligence, Elamba comes to believe that Hellywood soldiers are somehow demoralized and would turn against Hamdo in exchange for Lala Ru. The fact is quite opposite: Hellywood has just scored several of what can be considered "victories", secured strategic manpower and resources, and Hamdo is pretty much the only one obsessed with capturing Lala.

* TheBully: Taken to sociopathic extremes. He takes every opportunity to be as nasty as possible to Shu, Sara, and Lala-Ru, and belittles weaker soldiers.


Added DiffLines:

* InkSuitActor: A coincidental(?) instance. He bares an eerie resemblance to his [[Creator/CrispinFreeman english voice actor.]]


Added DiffLines:

* JerkJock: The closest thing to one in this setting. He's an overconfident hothead who delights in combat and ruthlessly picks on the new meat in his squad.

* BadassNormal: He's a regular kid from present day Japan who once whisked off to the dying Earth, finds himself going toe to toe with trained soldiers(a few of whom drive Mechas), ruthless freedom fighters, and mutant wildlife, while doing his damndest to protect what is essentially a water goddess. He doesn't win every fight, but he definitely holds his own and survives certain death multiple times over.

* AlasPoorVillain: Even with all the horrid things he did, Elamba was just as much a victim of Hellywood as Sara and Nabuca. When Hellywood attacks Zari-Bars, he makes one final stand to save the villagers and dies for his efforts, a fighter to the very end.

Added DiffLines:

* EvilCounterpart: For Shu. While both are brash, hot-tempered young fighters determined to stop Hellywood's reign of terror, Shu prioritizes his friends' safety and is more focused on protecting them. Elamba on the other hand is wholly obsessed with revenge, to the point that he's willing to brutalize and kill his fellow villagers to achieve it. This is also reflected in their WeaponOfChoice, with Shu hating guns and wielding his trusty stick, and Elamba always having on hand a semi-automatic rifle.

* BadassBaritone/EvilSoundsDeep: In the english dub his voice is much deeper to emphasize the ruthless warrior he is and seems to lower as his cruelty becomes more apparent. Comes naturally when you have the same voice as [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 the Shredder.]]

* BeneathTheMask: He puts on a strong,intimidating face for his followers and enemies. Around Abelia and in private, however, he becomes a shrill, paranoid, insecure child of a man who's clearly terrified of failure and swings between lashing out at her and pitifully begging for her comfort.

Added DiffLines:

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Debatable, but Hamdo clearly feels something for Abelia. While he can be just as abusive to her as he is to everyone else, she's also the one person he shows any emotional vulnerability, and he flies into hysterics at the thought of her leaving him.

Domestic Abuse refers to established couples' violence to each other, not violence from a man to his female subordinate he's not involved with.


* DomesticAbuse: He treats Abelia like crap all while going on and on about how much he needs her and wants her to always stay with him. Abelia, in a depressing parallel to real life victims of such abuse, stays with him because his abuse has led her to believe this as well.
