Ace Pilot: Although she is generally overshadowed by Yuuya and Yui.This nature is also reflected in hwe TSF piloting by a preference for melee combat. Her ethnic background as a Gurkha is well known for its bravery and fighting spirit. Nepalese Eishi participating in the XFJ Plan as a TSF pilot. It's especially apparent in the flashbacks with his mother. By the time the arc is over, he's not only matured on the personal level, but he acquits himself well when fighting BETA for real in close quarters, earning a modicum of respect from the rightly resentful members of the battle-hardened Zhar Battalion. Took a Level in Badass: He started the Kamchatka arc as a skilled but self-centered pilot who had zero combat time.Subverted the Boening head engineer assigned to the XFJ Project, who worked with his mother in the past, specifically asked for him, with a promotion waiting for him at project completion. While Project PROMINENCE isn't a crap posting, it's also being done as punishment, because nobody else at Area 51 will ever fly with him again. Reassigned To Yukon: Comes with being an Expy.The pregnant Mira, fearing she and their child will be used as political leverage against Masatada, chose to leave the latter and go into hiding on her own will. It's eventually revealed that he was killed by the G-bomb detonation during the Yokohama Hive operation. His father was revealed to be Masatada Takamura, a high-ranking Imperial Royal Guard and specialist in R&D, the designer of the Type-82 Zuikaku, who was forced to come back to Japan without knowing Mira Bridges, Yuuya's mother, was pregnant that is, he's Yui's elder half-brother. Parental Abandonment: His father left their family and went back to Japan, and later his mother died of an illness.Oblivious to Love: Even if he isn't as dense as other characters with this label, he's a bit slow in picking up on how he affects the female Eishi around him.New Meat: Started out a bit clueless about how things go down in the real world, since he had no combat experience at all.Vincent remarks that this seems to be a habit with him. The Nicknamer: Even on his first day as part of Project PROMINENCE.Yuuya has adequate skills to make use of both of these melee weapons.

Multi-Melee Master: The Shiranui Second carries a Type-74 PB Blade, a sword like weapon, and a pair of combat knives.Multi-Ethnic Name: His mother was an American of Caucasian descent who gave him a Japanese given name because his father was Japanese.Long-Lost Relative: Yuuya Bridges, Yui Takamura is your younger half-sister.Fast & capable in all-range combat with guns and blades, with specialisation in CQB. Lightning Bruiser: The Shiranui Second the main TSF being developed by the XFJ Project.But Yuuya is also a decent guy who does try to do the right thing.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's a jerk who initially despises all things Japanese, and has a major chip on his shoulder.

In-Series Nickname: 'Top Gun,' however it doesn't stick for too long.

Growing up in the Deep South didn't help matters.

Half-Breed Discrimination: Suffered this as a kid.

And growing up being picked upon due to his half-Japanese parentage did not help. Learning that his mother never blamed his father for leaving, he swore to surpass him.

Freudian Excuse: See Parental Abandonment below.

Expy: Of Maverick and Isamu Dyson, down to being called Top Gun (he did a tour at the actual TOPGUN, which is now a joint forces school) and later test-piloting an Ace Custom prototype.

Its one of the characteristics that Yui admires about him. Although every single thing that could go wrong goes wrong, Yuuya keeps on fighting.

Determinator: Seen when the BETA invade Kamchatka base, his Shiranui Second is heavily damaged by the BETA.

Yui, Yifei, Cryska and Inia are definitely attracted, while Tarisa is hinted to be interested, Stella admits to be interested, and Sharon appears to still have feelings for him.

Clueless Chick Magnet: Yuuya has a talent for attracting girls.

Character Development: Grows from being whiny, bratty & selfish test pilot into a mature & downright dangerous Eishi.

Battle Harem: Much like Takeru Shirogane in the main series, he's a Chick Magnet for female TSF pilots.

Of course, that all changes in episode 9.

Ace Pilot: He's a very talented pilot, and has a knack for understanding the TSFs he flies, but prior to the story he has no real combat experience with the BETA.

Half-Japanese, half-white, he holds anti-Japanese sentiments born from his childhood experiences. A talented US Army test pilot sent to the Yukon Base in Alaska to become the chief development TSF pilot of the XFJ Plan.
