Quote:How about Tenkawa from the follow-up movie Nadesico
Well, the cook thing pans out, but I've never seen enough Nadesico to have the guy pinned down right. Also, from what I do recall, he doesn't really have enough of an attitude to influence the plot significantly, should he be adapted to the setting.

Anyone who survived being kindnapped, experimented on so that he lost use of his taste buds (ruining any chance of being a cook), escaped from his captors and wages a one man interplanetary war against his former captors (and becoming the personification of vengeance in the process) would definintely have attitude to spare.
I did wonder what happened Tenkawa at the end of the movie.
