[[folder:The Ryunka]]
!!Ryunka
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MaayaSakamoto (Japanese), Creator/BrinaPalencia (English)
[[quoteright:350::https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ryunka.png]] [[caption-width-right:350:Possessing Sayaka]][[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote: Partially matured]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ryunka_1.png]][[/labelnote]]
A parasitic alien bioweapon that Geega smuggled into Earth for Shyalaman. It is at the center of his twisted plan to exterminate most of the human race.
----
* DemonicPossession: It requires a compatible host before it can unleash its power.
* EldritchAbomination: The Ryunka's ''incomplete state'' is a four-legged monstrosity protruding what appears to be human arms in its underbelly.
* LiterallyShatteredLives: It glasses anyone and anything unfortunate enough to be within its radius.
* OmnicidalManiac: Desires to obliterate the universe at large so it can attain the peace of "absolute silence."
* PunyEarthlings: Ridicules the foolishness of Shyamalan and people like him that came before, stating it cannot understand the stupidity of those seeking to harness its power to destroy others.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: When it has full control over Sayaka, its voice manifests as this.

[[folder:Katsutoshi Nakasugi]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakayukiSugo (Japanese), James Grant (English)
[[quoteright:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/450px_lullabyofobedience_lckc_en_scr_1e_5.png]]
Sayaka's grandfather. A rich neuroscientist whose research is abused by affiliate Shyamalan under his nose.
----
* CompositeCharacter: His role as Sayaka's caretaker parallels that of Agata Juuzou in ''Evolution.'' On the other hand, his affiliation with Shyamalan is that of her father's. He takes another cue from Juuzou in that he is oblivious to Shyamalan's illicit activities.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: Shyamalan strangled him to death in such a brutal way his fingerprints are left deeply imprinted in Katsutoshi's neck, and his expression of pure horror indicates it was evidently a horrible way to go.]]
* HonestCorporateExecutive: He is outraged when he discovers what Shyamalan has done with his work, to which he rebukes by calling him an idiot who only stifled scientific progress.
* PapaWolf: [[spoiler: He is determined to protect Sayaka from Shyamalan when the latter voices his intentions to his face. Unfortunately, he evidently didn't put up much of a fight being murdered.]]
* YoureInsane: When Shyamalan expresses his philosophy and intentions to Katsutoshi, he deems him ''completely'' insane.

[[folder:Shoko Kagami]]
!!Shoko Kagami
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyakoKawasumi (Japanese), Creator/MaxeyWhitehead (English)
[[quoteright:330:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/01_531.jpg]]
A young girl whose legs are recovering. She is very fond of Nataru and tends to be hostile towards Birdy because she thinks Birdy's trying to 'steal' him from her. She had also lost her older brother in the Ryunka incident.
----
* BrattyHalfPint: Towards Birdy, she acts like a complete brat, causing her no shortage of trouble when she runs around the city in response to her "taking" Nataru from her.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Brown hair and eyes.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Her parents and brother were all casualties of the Ryunka disaster, effectively leaving her orphaned until her grandfather takes her in.

[[folder:Nataru Shinmoyu]]
!!Nataru Shinmoyu
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MasayaMatsukaze (Japanese), Creator/EricVale (English)
[[quoteright:263:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jclkait.jpg]][[caption-width-right:263:[[labelnote: Click to see him mutated]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nataru_2.PNG]][[/labelnote]]
An Altan refugee on Earth, who works as a nurse and a caretaker for orphaned children following the Ryunka disaster. He is also childhood friends with Birdy and the two have feelings for one another. Unknown to Birdy or his colleagues, however, Nataru hides some very dark secrets under his friendly visage.
----
* AxCrazy: Despite barely holding it together with an outwardly friendly demeanor, Nataru is a contender for one of the most insane characters in the franchise. He is a deranged SerialKiller utterly consumed by sorrow and does not hesitate to inflict extreme brutality on ''anyone'' he feels has slighted him.
* BigBad: Of Decode 02.
* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Valic's Cain, as the latter almost murdered him out of spite as kids. Ironically, reversed as adults, where Nataru is hellbent on murdering Valic while he wants nothing to do with him.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Nataru has this with Birdy, but they keep it low key due to their occupations. By the show's end, she fully reciprocates.
* ColdBloodedTorture: He inflicts the most heinous torture imaginable on his targets, reasoning they must suffer for what they caused with the Ryunka.
* DeathSeeker: He fully intends to die during or after his revenge-fueled rampage.
* DeadlyNoseBleed: [[EyeScream As well as bleeding from his eyes,]] when he begins to overuse his Ixorian powers.
* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: His boyish face and genial demeanor hide a bloodthirsty monster defined by rage.
* FreudianExcuse: As an Altan child, he suffered intense persecution from the populace, exacerbated by his adoptive father's occupation as a hardline Anti-Federation terrorist. His adoptive brother, Valic, resented him for taking away his father's attention and regularly physically and emotionally abused him. Nataru was later caught up in the Central Tower Attacks, witnessing the horror of war firsthand as a kid. After migrating to Earth and living a relatively normal life, his best friend is glassed in front of him in the Ryunka disaster, making Nataru fully believe he can never escape his cursed life.
* FriendToAllChildren: And harming them is among the fastest ways to set him off.
* GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke: Nataru is an Ixorian, but he descended from a failed line of supersoldiers experimented with reality warping powers, making him a defective Ixorian.
* HairTriggerTemper: While Nataru can keep a decent lid on it, he is frighteningly easy to piss off and very irritable.
* HappilyAdopted: For the most part. Though his adoptive father's former involvement in terrorist activities created tensions, Nataru loved Dusk, and his murder is what fully sends him over the edge.
* IAmAMonster: How he feels about himself, and by extension, other Ixorians.
* IncurableCoughOfDeath: Another result of his terminal illness and overusing pain killers.
* KickTheDog: His horrific murders of siblings Faroid and Tesera is treated as crossing a line in-universe and out, as they expressed regret and no longer wanted anything to do with their terrorist cell.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: When Birdy and Nataru are together, starting back when they were kids, Birdy is usually shown wearing pink and Nataru, blue.
* PowerDyesYourHair: Nataru's hair turn white when he activates his powers.
* RealityWarper: He has the ability to erratically phase in and out of reality or time and space itself.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyes become permanently bloodshot after using his powers too much, marking the point where he is inevitably going to die from terminal illness.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Once he finds out the aliens responsible for the Ryunka disaster are hiding on Earth, he embarks on an insane quest of revenge against his father's wishes.
* {{Sadist}}: Relishes in the agony of his victims as he tears them apart limb from limb.
* ScreamingWarrior: He's constantly shrieking in a bestial rage when he fights Moss and Birdy in the climax.
* SerialKiller: A borderline case, as he systematically hunts down every named agent in the military cell involved with the Ryunka disaster.
* {{Teleportation}}: One of his abilities as a RealityWarper.
* UnskilledButStrong: It's made clear Nataru has little grasp on actually handling his powers, but they're strong enough to where it doesn't matter.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: It's hard to believe the vicious maniac now used to be such a meek and sweet kid.

[[folder:Dusk Shinmoyu]]
!!Dusk Shinmoyu
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakayukiSugo (Japanese), Creator/KentWilliams (English)
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chara_img07.jpg]]
Nataru's adoptive parent and Valic's biological father. Formerly the leader of an Altan uprising against the Federation, he's since taken to hiding on Earth, though some of his ambitions remain.
----
* AntiVillain: He may be a criminal and ex-terrorist, but he never harbored any ill will and was well-intentioned in that he was fighting for his people.
* EveryoneHasStandards: In the past, he turned down an offer to join Christella Revi, citing her as too extreme even for him. This put him at odds with his son and other resistance fighters.
* EyesAlwaysShut: He is never seen with his eyes open.
* GoodParents: To Nataru, as he wanted him to live a happy life away from his upbringing. He is very disappointed when he takes up the path of revenge, but doesn't stop him and understands his anguish. Dusk tried to be this for Valic, but Valic's preference for violence and envy for Nataru irrevocably ruined their relationship.
* RetiredMonster: He was once renowned for his vicious effectiveness as a guerilla fighter, but he's since stepped down and poses as an unassuming librarian.
* TheWorfEffect: Despite his fame, he is easily murdered by Gatol without any fight.

[[folder:The Insurgents]]
!!The Insurgents
->'''Voiced by:''' Gatol: Creator/AtsushiOno (Japanese), Mark Stoddard (English), Moss: Creator/YukoKaida (Japanese), Creator/LydiaMackay (English), Valic: Creator/ShintaroAsanuma (Japanese), Creator/ChrisPatton (English), Faroid: Creator/KoukiMiyata (Japanese) Creator/ColleenClinkenBeard (English), Tesera: Creator/RyokoShiraishi (Japanese), Creator/MonicaRial (English)
A cell of the Federation Army that was involved with smuggling and experimenting on the Ryunka on Earth, ostensibly to better combat the Alliance. After the Ryunka disaster, most of them were arrested but subsequently freed by Moss and Gatol. Regrouping on Earth, their plans on restructuring come to an abrupt pause when they are individually hunted down by a mysterious SerialKiller.
----
* AlasPoorVillain: Tesera and Faroid die literally crying and pleading for their lives, and of the group, were undoubtedly the least heinous.
* AssholeVictim:
** Rianshl and Agrazume were smug, racist assholes completely unrepentant over their role in the Ryunka disaster and murdering thousands. Their deaths, while brutal and horrific, are arguably deserved.
** Gatol murdered Dusk over simply not cooperating and procured a nuke for further destruction on Earth. There's no sympathy to be had when Moss betrays and murders him.
* CainAndAbel: Valic to Nataru in their childhood. Ironically, reversed given that Valic is fearing for his life as Nataru is hunting him down for nothing he personally did to him.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Any of them caught by Nataru is subject to this, being deliberately torn apart limb from limb before being smashed into paste.
* DirtyCoward: What Gatol claims of Tesera when she severs all contact and goes into hiding, although she is very justified in fearing for her life.
* DwindlingParty: As they are individually hunted down by Nataru. As morale drops, some members go their separate ways.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Tesera deeply mourns Faroid's passing.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: After Rianshl is murdered, all of them are extremely disturbed and often left speechless by the brutality of whatever is hunting them down.
* EyeScream: Nataru gouges one of Gatol's eyes out in his brutal fight with him.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: To cover their tracks, they are implanted with chips that disintegrate their bodies should they perish.
* LargeAndInCharge: Gatol, the leader of the group, towers over everyone else.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Tesera cuts all contact with the group and tries to live a normal life in hiding on Earth. It doesn't last long before Nataru finds her...
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Rianshl, Agrazume, and Faroid are quickly killed off before establishing much personality.
----
!!Moss
[[quoteright:330:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chara_img12.jpg]]
Gatol's right-hand woman and the most recurring adversary of the group.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: Neith of the manga wasn't much of a fighter. When faced with Birdy for her crimes, she opted to flee. Later on, she was detained by human forces (albeit, the JSDF) while hiding on Earth. Moss, by comparison, is such a fierce fighter she outright defeats Birdy in single-combat and holds her own against a fully crazed Nataru.
* AttemptedRape: Some idiotic humans attempt this on Moss when she's alone. Although Gatol scares them off with a glare when he arrives, they're very lucky they got off that easily.
* BloodKnight: She lives for the thrill of combat, and it's taken literally on one occasion she forgoes her human disguise to maul at necks.
* CombatSadomasochist: Tells Nataru to come with everything he has in their final battle and relishes in every aspect of it, regardless of her being pummeled.
* DarkActionGirl: By far one of the most badass women in the franchise, going toe to toe with Ixorians despite not being artificially empowered in any way.
* TheDragon: Directly answers to Gatol and holds a level of authority over others in the group.
* {{Expy}}: Moss is a direct stand-in for Neith Washgam from the manga, being of the same species and having the same role as a military maverick conspiring to illicitly increase their influence on Federation politics.
* InLoveWithYourCarnage: Grows out of her disgust for his actions and instead becomes enamored with Nataru's brutality and strength.
* TakingYouWithMe: Albeit, somewhat half-heartedly, she sets off the nukes she stole after losing to Nataru, hoping to take him and Birdy with her.
* TheLastDance: After being rejected by Revi despite killing Gatol as requested, Moss decides her life no longer has meaning and she will end it in one last glorious battle with Nataru.
* WomenPreferStrongMen: She literally says this when betraying and murdering Gatol, saying he has grown too old and weak.
