He eventually gets over it following the other Kovacs' Heel–Face Turn.
I Hate Past Me: Kovacs has this reaction upon meeting the version of himself that has been spun down from a copy of his UHF made nearly 300 years previously, largely because this version is still loyal to the Protectorate, and has had none of the Character Development that the real Kovacs endured over the centuries.Heroic Sacrifice: Kovacs performs one in Season 2, taking the Elder's essence into his stack and calling down angelfire upon himself (killing himself for real), in order to spare Quell from having to do the same thing.They also both start out hostile to him because of his background and he ultimately has no future with either of them, something that this person also claims is part of the appeal. Has a Type: As his sister sarcastically points out, Kovacs' past love interest Falconer and current love interest Ortega have a lot in common, both of them being passionate, idealistic women with a self-destructive streak.Guile Hero: While he can definitely handle himself in combat, he just as often handles a situation by playing his enemies against each other.
Genius Bruiser: Is definitely one of these thanks to his Envoy training.When he finally finds and reunites with the love of his life, Quell, he dies protecting her shortly after.Did Not Get the Girl: He proves that Ryker was framed, meaning that Ryker will get his old body back and take up with Ortega again.Kovacs has a singular force of will.Īva: He's a suicidal idiot who never gives up. He’s written with a very straight face, but for all Takeshi's strength, willpower, and sexual prowess, it gradually becomes clear that his reliance on force has stunted him in other ways. Deconstruction: Of the standard alpha male detective/soldier archetype.Dark and Troubled Past: Grew up in an abusive home living in abject poverty, killed his father to save his sister when the man murdered their mother and was forcibly conscripted into the an elite spec-ops team at the age of 12, served as a torturer for the government and an elite soldier in nasty conflicts, then deserted and joined a revolutionary group who were wiped out with him being the Sole Survivor.His consciousness was removed from his original pre-teen body and uploaded into one of an adult man to begin his training and missions, meaning despite his adult body, he was still firmly a minor when he first entered the military. Child Soldiers: When Takeshi was arrested by the protectorate for murdering his father and consequently conscripted into service, he was 12.Bomb Throwing Anarchist: An interesting variant as the Quellists have this reputation while Takeshi is a brutal Antihero.

This carries over to the time when the series is set: once he realizes how depraved and twisted Rei has become, Takeshi's goal is to put her stack into storage until she regains her humanity.
