Ambiguous Disorder is not a trope anymore, but a redirect to a YMMV entry.
Deleted line(s) 175 (click to see context) :
* AmbiguousDisorder: While it’s clear Hamdo is insane, his exact personality disorder seems to involve childish outbursts and a complete inability to regulate or control his emotions. Additionally, the way Hamdo cringes and speaks sometimes seems to indicate he’s suffering from some kind of pain.

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.

** Speaking of which, Shu is one of the very very few Japanese people in anime capable of pronouncing "L" without difficulty. He is the only character that calls "Lalaru" how it sounds and not "Rararu". It's even more impressive having in mind he is a kid and that in 1999 (the release date of the anime) globalization through the internet was in its infancy.

He's also a gibbering, cowardly idiot who relies on his second-in-command to make most of the logical decisions, wastes scores of his own troops by firing on them in the frontlines, tortures and kills hostages with barely a care of getting valuable intel, and even fails to intimidate a little girl with power over his most desired resource.
