Kids Next Door! Goodbye. | „ |
| ~ Nigel's goodbye words to Sector V. |
Nigel Uno, also known as Numbuh 1, is the main protagonist of the animated TV series Codename: Kids Next Door.
He's the bald, British leader, and the former head operative of Sector V and current Earth representative to the Galactic Kids Next Door. Described as a tactical genius by some kids and as a paranoid workaholic by others, Numbuh 1 takes his position and responsibilities as a KND operative too seriously.
Throughout the show, Numbuh 1 speaks with a noted English accent, because his parents come from England and he was born there, but then he moved to the United States when he was 3 years old. According to Numbuh 1, he, and Numbuh 2 have been best friends since Kindergarten. Numbuh 1 had a relationship with Lizzie Devine, who he considered bossy, but deeply cared for until Operation: G.I.R.L.F.R.I.E.N.D. when they broke up.
He is voiced by Ben Diskin, who also voices Hoagie Gilligan and the Little Traitor Dudes For Children's Defense in the same show, Eugene Horowitz from Hey Arnold!, Humphrey from the Alpha and Omega sequels, Joseph Joestar from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency, Spook from the Top Cat movies, Sai from Naruto: Shippuden, Agumon, Shoutmon, and Cutemon from the Digimon franchise, Stitch from Stitch!, Haida from Aggretsuko, Ban from Seven Deadly Sins, and Nino Lahiffe, Max Kanté, Nooroo, and Sass from Miraculous Ladybug: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir.
Appearance[]
Nigel Uno is a bald British leader of Sector V and is almost always wearing a red turtle-neck sweater, sunglasses, grey shorts, white socks, and brown shoes.
It’s implied in Operation: F.O.U.N.T.A.I.N. that Numbuh 1's baldness was caused by the Delightful Children From Down The Lane and something to do with Numbuh 5 before she recruited him. While transforming back into a kid (he was turned into a baby), it is seen that Numbuh 1 had brown hair, but it immediately disappeared once in his normal form.
In Operation: D.A.D.D.Y., Numbuh 1 mentioned that he had really cool hair, but it will never grow back again.
Character[]
Numbuh 1's described as the stern, "workaholic leader of Sector V," as he would rather go on missions than spend his day-off at the beach as seen in Operation: B.E.A.C.H. and Operation: B.U.T.T..
Alongside Numbuh 5, Numbuh 1 is considered the only one with common sense on his team. As the leader, he is quick to jump into action and he is quite resourceful, but tends to be paranoid to the point of stretching the truth and using his imagination when analyzing a potential adult threat. He was considered to be a suitable candidate for both Supreme Leader and Global Tactical Officer in the past, but refused both to stay with his friends.
In Operation: Z.E.R.O., it was stated many times by Numbuh 362 (who notes that he puts his team before himself) that Numbuh 1 is reckless, hot-tempered, stubborn, and acts alone. Nevertheless, he's caring and protective towards his friends, putting his full trust into them.
Numbuh 1 is also a huge believer, as he is one of the few KND operatives who believes in the legendary Numbuh 0, who turned out to be his own father, adding further prestige to his already famous reputation.
Although Numbuh 1 is clever, he is also shown to also be rather naive in Operation: D.I.A.P.E.R., as he believes that babies were kidnapped and brought to the hospital to be aged into adults, and that babies come from "baby eggs.
Nigel was among the greatest, if not the greatest of KND operatives, defeating the famed Numbuh 274 in single combat, being revealed as the son of the legendary Numbuh 0 and becoming the single earth representative of the GKND. He, along with the rest of Sector V was looked up to by the majority of the KND, whilst also being considered reckless and impulsive by Global Command.
Biography[]
Codename: Kids Next Door[]
Nigel Uno is the son of the legendary Kids Next Door Operative Numbuh 0, Monty Uno.Nigel was born somewhere in the United Kingdom, but he and his parents moved to the United States when he was three years old. Despite him moving away at such a young age, he retained his British accent.
Some time after he lived in America, he had an encounter with the Delightful Children From Down The Lane. They kidnapped him and rendered him bald through unknown means. Shortly thereafter, Numbuh 5 recruited him into the KND.
As a cadet, he only made average marks on his KND entrance exam. Realizing this, Numbuh 5 hacked into the KND Supercomputer and changed his grades in order for him to take over for her as Sector Leader.
During his time as leader of Sector V, Nigel much preferred going on missions than going on a vacation. He put full effort into everything he did, to the point where he overworked himself from time to time.
He's one of the few KND operatives to take his missions very seriously, as he didn't hesitate to chew out the then-Soopreme Leader Numbuh 362 for missions he deems as unneccessary.
Galactic Kids Next Door[]
Now Numbuh 1's now the Earth representative to the Galactic Kids Next Door, and the events of the GKND prologue takes place a few months later after Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S..
Numbuh 1's presented with a booger-activated console that would presumably authorize or activate the destruction of Earth. Chad who's chained up, begs him not to do it, reminding Numbuh 1 that his family and friends are still on that planet and stating that this's not what the KND stands for, and also he points out the Galactic Kids Next Door's plans are pure evil.
Other GKND operatives from other planets scan in to criticize Nigel Uno, pointing out that a human Galactic-level KND operative has never existed, alluding that humans that've never been considered worthy. Only one voice steps in to defend Nigel, revealed to be Numbuh 74.239; a tree-like alien kid who had apparently been masquerading as a human all along. Numbuh 74.239 begins to state that there was a famous human operative once, but then stops mid-sentence to adjust the privacy settings, and then his human disguise starts acting up.
More voices chip in to argue until a booming, multi-layered voice comes up (possibly the supreme leader, Numbuh Aleph Zero), stating that only Nigel can make that decision. Shedding a tear, Nigel declares, "Galactic Kids Next Door rule!", before plunging his booger into the console. It's possible that Numbuh 1 has been corrupted, manipulated, or brainwashed to do the Galactic Kids Next Door's dirty work and they're properly just using him as their pawn.
The screen blacks out, and the dismayed voice of Numbuh 5 is heard saying "Nigel Uno...what have you done?".
