!!Rutherford Siblings

A brother and sister who specialize in Wind Ether Gear. Born into a privileged family before their lives were destroyed by an act of unspeakable cruelty, they were taken in by Drakken Joe and came under his employment. Following Drakken's defeat, they try their luck as members of the ''Edens Zero'' crew, collectively becoming the "Winds of Edens".

* BigDamnHeroes:
** The two share a moment together in the Nero 66 arc, where they bust in to fight Callum and Lyra when the two enemies have Shiki and Rebecca at their mercy.
** In the Lendard arc, Jinn storms Deadend Crow's body together with Laguna to save Holy, who was absorbed into Crow's body, while Kleene absorbs Crow's Ether-jamming signal from the outside to restore Holy's Ether Gear.
* BlowYouAway: Both siblings use wind-type Ether Gear, but to different effects. Jinn's "Wind Rage" makes powerful gusts that cut like knives, boost his speed, obstruct opponents, and teleport, while Kleene's "Wind Snatch" lets her ride on air currents, absorb people and objects into a swirling wind cage (on top of shrinking them down to fit in her hand), and CatchAndReturn projectiles.
* BrotherSisterTeam: They work alongside each other under Drakken Joe (though it's more accurate to say that Jinn works as an assistant for Kleene, who works directly for Drakken), and keep up the dynamic after joining the ''Edens Zero'' crew.
* CodeName: Kris and Kleene are codenamed "Jinn" and "Sylph", respectively, both of which are taken from a type of wind spirit. However, [[ArtifactAlias Kris keeps being referred to as "Jinn"]] long after his real name is revealed, while Kleene's alias is never used outside of her membership in the Element 4.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Their family once financed Müller Royal Laboratories, but rightfully withdrew their support upon learning the twisted contents of Müller's research. The result: Müller killed the parents and used the siblings as guinea pigs in developing the perfect [[{{Cyborg}} O-Tech]], which involved dismembering Jinn[=/=]Kris with a chainsaw and [[ForcedToWatch forcing Kleene to watch]]. They were eventually rescued by Drakken Joe's debt collectors, but Kleene was left a traumatized wreck, while Jinn--who went searching for the one person who could heal Kleene's mind--was duped by a charlatan into working for her as a mercenary with a criminal record of his very own.
* DefectorFromDecadence: They initially have little trouble following Drakken Joe, their benefactor after their DarkAndTroubledPast left them with no family, but ditch him the moment it's revealed to them that Drakken only keeps them around to [[LifeDrinker leech off their life force]].
* ElementalHairColors: They are users of [[BlowYouAway wind Ether Gear]] and have green hair, because WindIsGreen.
* HeelFaceTurn: Both start out as enemies of the ''Edens Zero'' crew (Jinn[=/=]Kris as a mercenary from Rogue Out before going solo, and Sylph/Kleene as one of the Element 4), but once the crew prove themselves willing to help them with their troubles, the siblings switch sides. [[spoiler:They perform an involuntary HeelFaceRevolvingDoor due to the CosmicRetcon overwriting their memories and sending them back to their old employer, but they immediately switch back to the crew's side once their old memories return.]]
* MaleMightFemaleFinesse: Jinn's wind abilities are more geared towards offense, whereas Kleene is more defensive and versatile.
* MeaningfulName: Their code names "Jinn" and "Sylph" come from mythological wind and air spirits, fitting their status as [[BlowYouAway Wind Ether Gear]] users. The Sylph is especially one of the four AlchemicElementals, and Kleene represents the element of wind in a ClassicalElementsEnsemble that's linked to Drakken Joe's alchemy.
* MonsterBrotherCutieSister: Jinn is a cold mercenary and trained killer who shows affection for no one except his sister, taking a long time to come around before he considers himself a friend to the crew. Kleene, on the other hand, is very outgoing and friendly despite what her EmotionSuppression would suggest, and is more open to the idea of socializing with the crew immediately.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: Jinn, the Rogue Out mercenary from Guilst, and Sylph, a member of Drakken Joe's ClassicalElementsEnsemble, turn out to be brother and sister. Their DarkAndTroubledPast was also kicked off by Dr. Müller, the same MadScientist from Hermit's past.
* OutOfFocus: Jinn and Kleene don't get nearly the same amount of character attention as most of the crew after the Nero 66 arc, and are relegated to a supporting role in the battle against Deadend Crow in the Lendard arc.
* PointOfDivergence:
** They start out firmly on Drakken's side before Rebecca's first time leap, but after she arms the crew with knowledge to launch a direct attack on Drakken, they're able to persuade the siblings to perform a HeelFaceTurn.
** [[spoiler:The CosmicRetcon changes history so that Müller was never on Newton, and thus the siblings' parents never funded his research. As a result, he never murdered the parents or kidnapped the siblings for backing out on him, so Kleene was never traumatized, and Jinn never joined Rogue Out in search of Sister. [[InSpiteOfANail Despite this]], Jinn still became an [[{{Cyborg}} O-Tech]] (this time by consent to better adapt to their planet's atmosphere), and he and Kleene wound up under Drakken's service anyway after taking [[WrongTurnAtAlbuquerque a wrong turn to Guilst]].]]
* PowerGivesYouWings: [[spoiler:The siblings' [[SuperMode Overdrive]] gives them a pair of feathered wings: black for Jinn, light for Kleene.]]
* PunchClockVillain: Played straight with Kleene as one of the Element 4, where she's the least malicious member of the group alongside Laguna, and immediately clicks with the ''Edens Zero'' crew after her HeelFaceTurn. {{Downplayed}} with Jinn, a ruthless mercenary who means to kill Shiki for constantly getting in his way, but only so he can get Kleene the medical care she needs, which is what leads him to join the crew.
* RedBaron: They dub themselves the "Winds of Edens" in the Nero 66 arc, citing their decision to support their crewmates by being the wind in their figurative sails.
* RedemptionPromotion: [[spoiler:Both of them learn to do a complete [[SuperMode Overdrive]] by the Nero 66 arc, something only Shiki and Drakken Joe were able to do before the siblings' HeelFaceTurn.]]
* RichesToRags: The siblings were quite well-off when they were children, with their parents being the biggest backers for Müller Royal Laboratories. After their parents were murdered and their lives destroyed, they were forced to hang in the criminal underworld.
* SiblingYinYang: Jinn is cold, aloof, and not interested in making friends, while Kleene is playful, sociable, and fun-loving despite her initial lack of facial expression. [[spoiler:This is symbolized by their Overdrives, with Jinn having dark colors and Kleene having light colors.]]
* SuperMode: [[spoiler:While Jinn unlocks a rudimentary Overdrive state in the Belial Gore arc, both siblings undergo a complete Overdrive in the Nero 66 arc, changing them into winged warriors.]]
* TrappedInVillainy: [[spoiler:The Universe Zero version of the siblings are both innocent people who wound up in Drakken's service just because [[WrongTurnAtAlbuquerque they got the wrong planet]] on the way to school abroad. Unlike the last world, this is PlayedForLaughs.]]
* WrongTurnAtAlbuquerque: A comedy example. [[spoiler:In Universe Zero, he and Kleene left their home planet to study abroad, but got the location completely wrong and wound up on Guilst instead. As a result, they were taken in by Drakken Joe and became his minions, [[InSpiteOfANail despite avoiding all the traumatic beats that led them to this fate in the previous world]].]]

->''"I am a mercenary. I can't betray my employer. However, I swore I would always protect Kleene. Even if it costs me my life."''

An [[CyberNinja O-Tech ninja]] who first clashes with the ''Edens Zero'' crew as a member of the Rogue Out mercenary squad, and later as a freelancer hired by Drakken Joe. Ruthless and anti-social, he initially cares for no one but his little sister, Kleene, stopping at nothing to cure her rare affliction. Thanks to Kleene's influence, however, he begrudgingly opens his heart to the crew.
::
Jinn uses a form of Wind Ether Gear called "Wind Rage" to create powerful gusts that can cut through solid objects. Combined with his mechanized body and his attempts to practice Overdrive, he can further enhance his wind's strength until it has the force of a typhoon.

* AbortedArc: His recurring rivalry with Shiki is set aside when the crew persuades him to join their side, and abandoned altogether when he chooses to remain with the crew.
* AintTooProudToBeg: When Kleene has a mental breakdown during the Foresta arc, Jinn doesn't hesitate to get on his hands and knees to [[NotSoStoic desperately beg]] Sister to save her, offering to give whatever organic body parts he has left in exchange.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: He was teased for being half-machine by most of the other students at Guilst's Skymech Dojo where he trained as a kid.
* AlmightyJanitor: During his stint on the ''Belial Gore'', where he stands as little more than a hired mercenary and Kleene's assistant. Despite this fact, Jinn stands as one of the strongest minions on Drakken Joe's payroll, and the only one to have a rudementary grasp of how to [[SuperMode Overdrive]]. Drakken also apparently trusts Jinn enough to have him as serve the last line of defense for his [[DarkLordOnLifeSupport life support machine]].
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Jinn is easily taken for his word when he claims to know how to [[SuperMode Overdrive]], which lets him deliver a CurbStompBattle to Shiki. He's quickly proven wrong when Drakken Joe shows up and knocks both him and Shiki out of their "Overdrives", revealing them to just be pale imitations of a ''real'' Overdrive.
* AloofAlly: He's forced to unofficially join the ''Edens Zero'' crew because he needs Sister's healing powers to help Kleene, and only lends them a hand because he can't afford to let anything happen to the ship while he and Kleene are on board. Beyond that, he makes clear he has no intention of staying or getting friendly with any of the crew, and that everything he does is only for Kleene's sake. He becomes noticeably [[DefrostingTheIceQueen less aloof]] after Sister cures Kleene's trauma, leading him to become an official crewman.
* AnimeHair: His hair is green, spiky, and gravity-defying.
* AntiVillain: As a member of a shady mercenary business, he is complicit in the kidnapping of several innocent civilians, among countless other unspoken crimes, for the sake of curing his little sister.
* ArtifactAlias: He continues to be addressed by the CodeName "Jinn" after his GivenNameReveal in the Belial Gore arc, in contrast to Kleene, who drops the name "Sylph" after switching sides.
* BadassCape: He walks around with a dark, tattered cape that covers most of his mechanized body, and gives him an imposing look.
* BarbarianLongHair: His hair becomes longer and more unkempt [[spoiler:after the three-year TimeSkip]], though he quickly switches this out with a ponytail.
* BerserkButton: Mosco's friendship with Kleene serves as a [[PlayedForLaughs comedic]] one for him, as it has led to several moments were the typically [[TheStoic cold]] Jinn can't help but get visibly irritated.
* BigBrotherInstinct: The only person he cares about at first is his little sister Kleene, whom he says he would die for, and becomes aggressive when he believes she's being threatened or [[MySisterIsOffLimits hit on]]. He grows ''very'' slightly more relaxed after joining the crew, however, enough to entrust Laguna with helping her while he helps protect the defenseless Holy in the Lendard arc.
* BroughtDownToBadass: In the Lendard arc, Jinn's Ether Gear gets canceled out by Deadend Crow's Ether jammer once Crow takes Kleene out to stop her from absorbing its signal. Despite this, his cyborg body is packed with weapons that allow him to hold out against Crow's {{Mooks}} until Laguna recovers Kleene.
* CoolMask: He wears an intimidating black faceplate when [[spoiler:using a complete [[SuperMode Overdrive]]]].
* CreepyShadowedUndereyes: He has sunken, "evil" eyes, which Labilia {{lampshades}} when they first cross paths.
* CurbStompCushion: Though it ends with him and Kleene lying flat on their faces, Jinn puts up one hell of a fight against [[spoiler:Sister in the Reunion arc, since she's shown bruised and ragged in the aftermath]].
* CyberNinja: He's an [[{{Cyborg}} O-Tech]] with a 60% mechanical body mass who refers to his attacks as "ninjutsu".
* DarkIsNotEvil: [[spoiler:Jinn's Overdrive gives him a jet black outfit and wings, but by the time he achieves this form, he's firmly solidified his HeelFaceTurn and fights to protect his crew.]]
* DefrostingIceKing: He starts out as a stoic mercenary who cares for no one except Kleene, and would much rather not associate with the crew any longer than he needs to after Sister offers to help her. He soon loosens his grip enough to allow Kleene to mingle with the crew for short periods of time, though he still remains on icy terms with the crew himself. Come the end of the Foresta arc, he shows his appreciation for all the crew has done by joining in on their activities, smiling for a moment when Shiki declares them to be friends at long last.
* TheDogBitesBack: Not long after the fake Sister uses him as a BulletproofHumanShield, he returns the favor when her true identity comes to light by crushing her head and killing her.
* DontYouDarePityMe: He rejects Weisz's sympathy in the Foresta arc after the latter learns he and Kleene were kidnapped and tortured by a sadistic psycho scientist.
* TheDragon: He serves as this as a member of Rogue Out, being the only one of the fake Sister's men to match Shiki blow-for-blow without her help. He loses this position when he's made into Kleene's assistant aboard the ''Belial Gore''.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He willingly works as a mercenary and takes lives, but he is disturbed by the idea of mutilation, as seen when he takes his leave upon witnessing Fie cut off Weisz's arm in World No.29, which makes sense given that he has childhood trauma related to his disassembly and reassembly into a cyborg.
* FantasticFightingStyle: Similar to Shiki, he has his own Ether Gear style called Skymech Ninjutsu, which he learned in a dojo on Guilst specifically tailored towards it.
* FriendlessBackground: {{Subverted}}. At first, Jinn claims to have never had any friends, but upon reflection after meeting his old RivalTurnedEvil Callum on Nero 66, he realizes from how well Callum treated him in the past that he was his FirstFriend.
* FriendshipDenial: While he's willing to work with the ''Edens Zero'' crew when Sister offers to help Kleene, he makes no illusions about wanting to be friends with them. It's PlayedForLaughs when he vehemently refutes Kleene's claim of Mosco being his "best buddy". He's far less hesitant to consider himself a friend after Kleene is healed, however.
* GivenNameReveal: His real name is revealed by Amira to be Kris Rutherford in the Belial Gore arc. Despite this, apart from one moment where Sister debates which name to call him, everyone almost exclusively continues to call him [[ArtifactAlias Jinn]].
* HealthcareMotivation: His entire reason for joining an unscrupulous mercenary squad is so Sister can cure Kleene of her affliction, not realizing he's been duped by an imposter until the real Sister shows up. Uniquely for this trope, Jinn isn't in need of money so much as Sister herself, believing that her unmatched healing powers make her TheOnlyOne to be of any help to Kleene.
* LackOfEmpathy: By his own admission, he has no need for a "heart" or friends, and doesn't care about how his targets feel about being kidnapped against their will. The one person he cares for is his younger sister, Kleene, for whom he knowingly commits terrible deeds--be it for the fake Sister or Drakken--in exchange for help in healing her.
* LeaveHimToMe: Although they're a BrotherSisterTeam, Jinn tends to send Kleene out of trouble whenever they're faced with a single opponent, seen when he fights Shiki in the Belial Gore arc, and [[spoiler:Sister while their memories are overwritten in the Reunion arc.]]
* LonerTurnedFriend: Jinn is introduced as a coldhearted mercenary who believes he doesn't need anyone besides his sister. After begrudgingly joining the ''Edens Zero'' crew so Sister can heal Kleene, he takes notice of how fond she's grown of the crew, and slowly opens himself to the idea of being friends with them himself, finally considering the ''Edens Zero'' to be his new home.
* LoveIsAWeakness: Prior to joining the crew, he sees no need to form connections with the "hearts" of anyone other than his sister, seeing people as obstacles that need eliminating.
* McNinja: Despite being CyberNinja, his true name, Kris Rutherford, is distinctly Western-sounding. The fact that his sister doesn't share his faux-Japanese aesthetic is pretty telling in itself.
* MundaneUtility: If he ever finds himself tied up, he can just use his [[RocketPunch detachable arms]] to untie his bonds, completely negating the typical weakness of an Ether Gear user.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: {{Subverted}} on two accounts:
** In the Guilst arc, he overlooks being used by Rogue Out's leader as a BulletproofHumanShield because he thinks she's TheOnlyOne who can save Kleene, but as soon as she's ousted as an imposter who never planned to save his sister, he retaliates against her in brutal fashion.
** In the Belial Gore arc, he shows no interest in any wrongdoing Drakken Joe has done to anyone, simply because he's his employer. That ends when it comes to light that [[KickTheMoralityPet Drakken is feeding off of Kleene's life force]], prompting an immediate EnemyMine with the ''Edens Zero'' crew.
* MySisterIsOffLimits: He denies everyone from any form of contact with Kleene that can be considered even remotely romantic. This includes not letting Shiki hug Kleene when she decides to join, telling the pervert Weisz to stay the hell away from her, demanding Laguna to stop "hitting on" her just for complimenting her smile, and detesting it when Kleene hugs Mosco.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: He's a CyberNinja mercenary who uses Ether Gear, which technically makes him a wizard as well.
* NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech: [[spoiler:Jinn has one in the Nero 66 arc. This is actually instrumental to his survival while he's being vaporized by Callum's Empire Ether, which requires the victim to have [[IAmWhoIAm a strong sense and acceptance of self]] to fully undo the effects.]]
-->[[spoiler:''"As a child, I was the first-born son of the wealthy Rutherford family. In my youth, I was kidnapped by Müller and lost my limbs... Then I was rescued by Drakken, who took me to Guilst... I spent my days searching for Sister, so she could heal Kleene. I started attending the Skymech Dojo to get stronger. Then I did all kinds of dirty work for the fake Sister. Until I encountered the ''Edens Zero''... The next thing I knew...it became my home. Who am I? I don't really know. But...my once dark, dead-end future is now wide open. Now I can be '''whatever''' I want. ...Whoever I want. '''That''' is who I am!!!!"'']]
* NotSoStoic: He first appears as a serious and grim villain who maintains an icy cool, but shows a lot more emotional vulnerability after his HeelFaceTurn, namely his comically aggressive protectiveness of his sister.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: By the time he appears on the ''Belial Gore'', he's become so obsessed with surpassing and killing Shiki after getting overpowered by him on Guilst that when given the chance to fight him by Kleene's side, Jinn sends her to chase Homura instead so he can fight Shiki himself.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: When he finds out the "Sister" he's been following until the Guilst arc is an imposter with no real intentions of helping his sister, Jinn angrily and remorselessly gets back at her by crushing her head beneath his foot.
* PerkyFemaleMinion: [[spoiler:Universe Zero's version of Kleene is much more expressive and happy while working under Drakken than she was in the previous world, since she never went through her trauma that required her to undergo EmotionSuppression.]]
* PerpetualFrowner: The guy's default expression is a cold, piercing glare. Although he starts smiling for the first time after Kleene regains her emotions, he still keeps a grim disposition.
* PowerOfTrust: Demonstrates this in the Lendard arc, where he chooses to trust and support Holy by Shiki and Kleene's request despite his own suspicions of her, even defying his own BigBrotherInstinct and letting Laguna tend to Kleene when she is put in mortal danger. [[spoiler:It pays off, as Holy gives up on her plans to betray the crew after the war thanks to their support.]]
* PowerStereotypeFlip: Although he's a wind Ether Gear user, Kris is serious, no-nonsense, and antisocial.
* PragmaticVillainy: He stops Ganoff from needlessly torturing Rebecca after they've captured her to be added to Illega's collection because it would damage the "merchandise". Later, when the fake Sister orders him to kill Illega and take everything he owns, he questions the wisdom of doing so since, for all his slimy ways, customers with pockets as deep as Illega's aren't easy to find.
* ThePromise: When Kleene gets downed by Deadend Crow in the Lendard arc, Jinn reluctantly defies his own BigBrotherInstinct and gives Holy backup because of a promise Kleene wanted him to keep, which was to support Holy and treat her like family. It helps that Laguna was already on his way to help Kleene to begin with.
* RazorWind: His Ether winds are able to slice skin, while his Windstorm Slash attack is sharp enough to cut through solid concrete.
* TheRival: He becomes one for Shiki after their first clash on Blue Garden, telling him to come settle the score with him on Guilst. After Shiki proves himself to be the superior fighter in their brief scuffle from there, Jinn becomes obsessed with killing Shiki, attempting to learn Overdrive to do so. However, he puts his grudge for Shiki aside when forced into a truce that leads him to join the crew, though he still [[FriendshipDenial coldly rebuffs Shiki's belief that this makes them friends]].
* RocketPunch: He can detach his arm at will and fire it at his opponents via remote control.
* TheStoic: He rarely changes his grim expression unless he becomes [[NotSoStoic sufficiently shocked]], such as when "Sister" uses him as a shield against Shiki, and when he learns her true identity.
* SuperMode: Between the Guilst and Belial Gore arcs, Jinn acquires a new form that he assumes to be Overdrive, the ultimate power of Ether Gear, which boosts his strength by 320% and creates winds with speeds of up to 130mph. As Drakken later informs him, [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter this mode is only a pale imitation of "real" Overdrive]]. [[spoiler:He later unlocks his true Overdrive in his battle with Callum during the Nero 66 arc.]]
* TeethClenchedTeamwork:
** His early tenure aboard the ''Edens Zero'' crew is filled with hostility against them due to his anti-social nature, only aiding them because they're his only hope at healing Kleene. He only becomes supportive after Kleene's successful treatment in the Foresta arc.
** During the crew's EnemyMine with Holy in the Lendard arc, Jinn plainly states how he doesn't like or trust her, and [[ProperlyParanoid rightly so]] since she plots to betray them all afterward. Nevertheless, he comes to her rescue when she's trapped inside Deadend Crow, both because it's Shiki's wish that they treat her like a part of the crew, and because Kleene [[ThePromise made him promise]] to treat her as family because Holy's own family was lost.
* TearsOfJoy: At the end of the Foresta arc, he cries out of joy and relief over seeing Kleene finally recover her emotions after she is made to forget her childhood trauma.
* ThisIsUnforgivable: {{Subverted}} for [[PlayedForLaughs laughs]]. At first, Jinn declares he will never forgive Homura for hurting Kleene in the Belial Gore arc, but when Kleene urges him to do it for her sake, he changes his mind on the spot.
* TranquilFury: He wears the same chillingly calm face as always when he's at his angriest moment crushing the fake Sister's head.
* {{Tsundere}}: Towards Kleene. On the surface, he seems to display the same aloof attitude towards her that he shows everyone else. However, she only needs to make a request and he'll instantly fold, regardless of his own personal feelings on the matter.
* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: ZigZagged. After getting bested by Shiki, Jinn modifies himself to harness the power of Overdrive specifically to be more powerful than him and gives him a CurbStompBattle, only to find out that Shiki also knows how to Overdrive. However, they don't get the chance to see how equal their skills are when [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter Drakken knocks them both down with his bare hands]]. [[spoiler:He finally masters his own Overdrive while battling Callum on Nero 66, bringing him closer to Shiki's level long after Shiki himself learned to Overdrive properly.]]
* VillainTeleportation: He has the power to vanish into thin air with his Ether Gear when retreating.

->''"Your wind... '''It doesn't belong here.'''"''

Jinn's younger sister, also known as Sylph, the Element of Wind in Drakken Joe's Element 4. Although she appears to lack emotion on the surface, her feelings are actually suppressed by the devices on her head due to a unique affliction that causes her to suffer from severe mental breakdowns at even the slightest expression.
::
Similar to her brother, Kleene uses a wind-type Ether Gear, "Wind Snatch", to create air currents that absorb any object or person, even in the vacuum of space.

* AcePilot: She's almost as skilled of a SpaceFighter pilot as Rebecca, with Kleene's ability to surround her ship with a barrier of wind giving her a leg up over ordinary pilots.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Kleene permanently joins the crew, and coaxes Jinn to do the same, after being welcomed onto the ship despite starting out as enemies, and getting her emotional instability healed by Sister in the Foresta arc.
* BrokenBird: Her mind and emotions broke down from being ForcedToWatch her brother being dismembered when they were children. She needs a special device to suppress her emotions and stop her from having panic attacks. She becomes emotionally stable only after Sister erases the memories of her childhood trauma.
* BulletDodgesYou: Her wind Ether Gear can CatchAndReturn any projectile aimed at her.
* CatchAndReturn: Her Wind Snatch allows her to manipulate air streams to perform this on her enemies' attacks, such as missiles or Homura's swords.
* CharacterCatchphrase: "Your wind. I will stop it for you."
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Unlike Jinn, Kleene doesn't hold any hard feelings towards Homura about her defeat, and quickly warms up to the entire ''Edens Zero'' crew to the point where she'd rather stay than be forced by her brother to leave.
* DesignatedGirlFight: She squares off against both Rebecca and Homura in the Belial Gore arc, and Lyra in the Nero 66 arc.
* DisneyDeath: {{Downplayed}} in the Lendard arc. [[spoiler:She gets punched by Deadend Crow, a HumongousMecha who could squish an ordinary human just by stepping on one, but no one knows for certain that it killed her, and they immediately rush to see if she survived. Sure enough, she turns out to be fine [[UnexplainedRecovery for reasons not divulged]], presumed to be because her wind absorbed most of the damage.]]
* DoNotCallMePaul: She scolds her brother for using her real name when she's on the job as one of the Element 4, where she goes by the CodeName "Sylph". This ends once she quits the team.
* DoNotTouchTheFunnelCloud: ZigZagged. Kleene can magically control who or what gets sucked into her wind; those that don't get to stand in place while the rest flies helplessly in the air around them. She also uses this to her tactical advantage, such as sucking Rebecca and Happy in, but leaving the briefcase Rebecca was holding to use as bait for her friends.
* ElementalPersonalities: In contrast to [[PowerStereotypeFlip her brother]], Kleene's personality does match her wind element: cheerful, playful, and a social butterfly.
* EmotionlessGirl: Her emotions are [[EmotionSuppression artificially repressed]] due to her mental condition, motivating her older brother to seek out Sister to heal her so that said repression is no longer necessary.
* EmotionSuppression: She's developed a mental illness that causes her go into [[FreakOut a complete nervous breakdown]] if she feels any sort of emotion, which are suppressed by her mechanical hair clips to allow her to function. However, they can be overloaded if her emotions are strong enough, causing them to reboot and re-suppress them.
* ExpressiveAccessory: She has two hairpins with pixelated faces that change to match whatever she's feeling. They also double as [[EmotionSuppression emotion suppressors]] to keep her from suffering a FreakOut when she experiences any powerful emotion. Kleene no longer needs these devices after Sister erases her memories of her trauma, but she still wears them because she thinks they're cute.
* FacialMarkings: Her Ether Gear's TronLines coil around her upper body to across her face.
* FanservicePack: She has a fairly modest chest at first, but her bust size balloons to be on par with Rebecca and Homura [[spoiler:after the TimeSkip]].
* FeatherMotif: Being the Element 4's [[BlowYouAway Element of Wind]], she has wing tattoos on her shoulders [[spoiler:and [[PowerGivesYouWings grows actual wings]] when using [[SuperMode Overdrive]]]].
* ForcedToWatch: During her and Jinn's DarkAndTroubledPast, Müller had poor little Kleene tied up and made her watch as he cut her brother's body with a chainsaw. The experience completely shattered Kleene's mind and left her with a mental condition that threatened to kill her any time she felt any sort of emotion.
* FreakOut:
** Due to her fear of [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outliving her usefulness]] and getting "absorbed" by Drakken, Kleene suffers from two in quick succession--the first getting [[EmotionSuppression suppressed]] with little trouble, but the second not so much--during her rematch with Homura in the Belial Gore arc, where Homura counters Kleene's wind with wind from her own Ether sword and [[ThereCanBeOnlyOne proves herself a skillful wind user like herself and Jinn]].
** In the Foresta arc, while helping out during the space battle around the giant server orbiting the planet, Kleene has a sudden meltdown upon [[MySignificanceSenseIsTingling sensing "somebody bad" nearby]], causing her normally sharp piloting to slow down. This bad person turns out to be Müller, the man who caused her trauma in the first place, and it's bad enough to send her into a nearly fatal breakdown until Sister [[LaserGuidedAmnesia erases her memories of him]], curing her of her condition for good.
* HarmfulToMinors: When she was just a child, Müller used her and Kris as subjects for cruel experiments, which involved Kleene being tied up and ForcedToWatch as the doctor dismembered her brother.
* HistoryRepeats: Unlike most of the changes in the ''Edens Zero'' crew's fight against Drakken's forces between Worlds No.29 and 30, Kleene's fight with Homura is the one constant, right down to spilling into a dance theater. The main difference is that the theater is occupied in the first world, forcing Homura to spend more time trying to blend in and escape than prepare herself for Kleene's attacks; in the second world, the place is empty and Homura is armed with knowledge on how Kleene's power works, allowing Homura to develop a counter-strategy that results in Kleene's defeat.
* JustToyingWithThem: As Drakken's most light-hearted minion despite what her [[EmotionlessGirl emotionlessness]] would suggest, she generally pulls pranks on her enemies and plays around with them in battle, with her ExpressiveAccessory smiling in impish delight to highlight her mischievous nature. She only takes things seriously when she's sent into a FreakOut over Homura negating her attack, fearing being "absorbed" by Drakken.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Once Sister determines the root of Kleene's trauma to be the ColdBloodedTorture that Müller put her and Kris through, she erases those specific memories and everything that had to do with Drakken. This is treated as a good thing, as it saves Kleene's life when she suffers a nearly lethal mental breakdown, and permanently restores her emotional stability.
* MentalHealthRecoveryArc: Her arc involves her receiving medical assistance from Sister for a condition that causes mental collapse whenever she experiences emotions of any kind. This also serves as a subplot for the Foresta arc, and ends with her recovery once Sister erases all her memories directly related to her trauma.
* MoralityPet: She's the one and only person in the cosmos who Jinn cares for, and everything he does, including allying with the most notorious criminals on Guilst, is to heal her from her stolen emotions. Jinn finding out that Drakken has been absorbing her life force along with all the residents of the ''Belial Gore'', as well as Sister promising to heal Kleene, makes him perform a HeelFaceTurn along with his sister.
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: In the Foresta arc, she is somehow able to sense Müller, the man who caused her trauma, from outside the giant server he's in.
* TheNicknamer: In English, she adds an "n" to the ends of certain people's names like Homura, Laguna, and Holy, which come out as "Homuran", "Lagunan", and "Holyn". The latter two names get a DubNameChange in the official English version, making them "Lagunarino" and "Holily".
* NoOneShouldSurviveThat: In the Lendard arc, [[spoiler:Kleene gets punted straight into the ground by [[HumongousMecha Deadend Crow]] over a hundred meters in the air, hard enough to leave a crater on impact, and leaving the crew fearful for her life. When Laguna finds her, she's covered in bruises but fully conscious and intact, with zero signs of bone-shattering trauma. Though it's implied that she used her wind to absorb most of the damage, it's not explicitly stated how she's able to stand.]]
* NominalVillain: Unlike the rest of Drakken's minions, Kleene doesn't have any inherently evil or selfish desires, simply wanting to be near her brother. It's thanks to this that she's able to integrate herself into the crew with almost no fuss compared to other ex-criminals like Jinn and Laguna.
* NotSoStoic: She appears to be an EmotionlessGirl until TheReveal that her ExpressiveAccessory is artificially keeping her emotions in check. Once faced with an overwhelming emotion such as shock, fear, or anger, it briefly overrides the emotional suppression to make her true feelings as plain as day.
* ObliviouslyEvil: Downplayed. She is aware that Drakken is not a good person in the slightest, but she appears oblivious to the fact that the things she does under his orders are just as bad, and Jinn blatantly denies her doing anything wrong when she experiences a minor HeelRealization.
* OhCrap: She has this reaction when Homura figures out that she can cancel out her wind by [[StartXToStopX generating wind of her own]], which also allows her to break out of Kleene's Wind Cage. Her shock is strong enough to [[NotSoStoic break through her artificial emotion suppression]].
* PerpetualFrowner: {{Invoked}}. Any emotions she outwardly shows are suppressed by a pair of mechanical hair clips, keeping her facial expression from changing beyond a sullen frown. Once she gets her emotions back, she becomes a whole lot more cheerful-looking.
* PowerPerversionPotential: When she says her power can steal anything she wants, she means ''anything'', which she demonstrates by snatching Homura's clothes away.
* PowersDoTheFighting: The winds that Kleene conjures up can absorb any person or object she chooses, giving her a more hands-off approach to fighting compared to Jinn.
* {{Protectorate}}: Jinn's top priority is protecting her, and everything else comes second.
* PunchClockVillain: Similar to fellow Element 4 member Laguna, Kleene is a decent person who's more or less just one of Drakken's hired guns brought on to keep his Ether levels in balance thanks to her and the rest of the Element 4's mastery of their elemental Ether.
* RedBaron: She's known as both "Sylph of Wind" (with her CodeName) and the "Element of Wind" when acting as one of the [[ClassicalElementsEnsemble Element 4]], representing--you guessed it--[[BlowYouAway wind]].
* ReiAyanamiExpy: She has light-colored hair styled in a bob cut, and is introduced as an EmotionlessGirl and the minion of a villain to then make a HeelFaceTurn and [[TookALevelInCheerfulness become more cheerful]].
* SciFiBobHaircut: She's a major character in a ScienceFantasy series and her hairstyle is a bob cut.
* SexyBacklessOutfit: While her dress is conservative overall, it exposes her shoulders and most of her back up to the hips.
* SignatureHeadgear: Her ExpressiveAccessory headpins, which also serve as [[EmotionSuppression emotional suppressors]]. They're such a staple to her design that she keeps them even after she's cured of her mental condition.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Applies to her exclusively as one of the [[ClassicalElementsEnsemble Element 4]], where she's the only female member.
* SpaceFighter: While working under Drakken Joe, she pilots a starfighter modeled after a bird, which she surrounds with rings of wind to serve as a defensive force field. She's also a frequent pilot of the ''Edens Zero''[='=]s Taurus-class fighters.
* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker: In place of her VerbalTic in the Japanese version, the official English translation gives her a quirky speech pattern where she says the object of her sentences before the subject. This gets {{lampshaded}} when Pino mimics her in Kleene's character profile:
-->'''Pino:''' The way she talks... it is very cute!
* SuddenNameChange: ZigZagged. Kleene's Ether Gear was suddenly renamed to "Wind Flow" during the Foresta arc's serialization, but it was changed back in the Japanese volume release, with her [[AllThereInTheManual character profile]] using the correct name. The English volume doesn't make the same correction in the Foresta arc.
* TearsOfJoy: She happily cries into Sister's chest in the Reunion arc after [[spoiler:she and Jinn regain their memories from before the CosmicRetcon.]]
* ThereCanBeOnlyOne: She professes that the only ones whose wind is allowed to exist are herself [[DownplayedTrope and her brother]], because she would be "absorbed" by Drakken otherwise. When Homura finds a way to make wind that rivals her own, she has a FreakOut over the thought of [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outliving her usefulness]].
* ThisCannotBe: She expresses this when Homura is able to create her own wind attack to counter hers. When she can't deter Homura, she starts screaming in fear and anger that no one should be able to control the wind but her.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: When introduced, she's unable to express herself because of her EmotionSuppression. [[spoiler:After Sister erases her traumatic memories that messed up her emotions, Kleene can once again smile and be happy.]]
* TraumaButton: She suffers a bigger FreakOut than any she had before in the Foresta arc simply by [[MySignificanceSenseIsTingling sensing the presence of Müller]], the one who mutilated her brother in front of her.
* TraumaInducedAmnesia: She's completely blocked out the event that caused her emotional instability, and Jinn worries that if she's reminded of it, it would be too much for even her [[EmotionSuppression emotion suppressors]] to handle. This event is revealed in the Foresta arc to be witnessing her brother's dismemberment when they were only children, which Sister [[LaserGuidedAmnesia erases]] from her memory to cure her.
* TurnTheOtherCheek: Kleene holds no grudges against Homura for defeating her in the Belial Gore arc, and urges Jinn to forgive her as well, reminding him that Drakken Joe was the one who ordered them to fight.
* TwoAliasesOneCharacter: She's introduced by the codename "Sylph" before being identified as Kleene, Jinn's previously unseen sister whom he mentioned in passing on Guilst.
* VerbalTic: In Japanese, she ends nearly all of her sentences with the particle ''no'', giving her a feminine and cute-sounding style of speech. Since this can't be translated directly into English, she's made into a StrangeSyntaxSpeaker instead.
* WhenSheSmiles: She's able to smile again at the end of the Foresta arc when Sister erases the trauma from her memories and improves her emotional condition, with Rebecca thinking Kleene's smile looks very cute.

->''"Moscoy."''

Sister's overweight android servant who performs various odd jobs around the ship. He was once reprogrammed as a member of the mercenary squad Rogue Out before Sister restored him to his original programming. He has a mysterious button on his belly, but since pushing it is strictly off limits, one can only imagine what it does...

* AnimalLover: His profile says he loves small animals.
* BigEater: Although he's an android, he has a massive appetite, which puts him in Couchpo's good books after the kidnapping incident.
* BigFun: He's a big, chubby, friendly robot, and [[FatComicRelief a source of comic relief]].
* BigOlEyebrows: He has noticeably thicker eyebrows than most characters, giving him more of a comical look.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Mosco and Couchpo get a bit of ShipTease together as fellow FatComicRelief characters and {{Big Eater}}s.
* BlushSticker: He has permanent blush marks on his cheeks.
* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: His interactions with Sister almost always play out this way with Mosco as the ''boke'' and Sister as the ''tsukkomi'', mostly involving [[DontTouchItYouIdiot Mosco trying to push his button]].
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: By his first appearance, he's been reprogrammed by the fake Sister into joining an infamous mercenary group. That said, the most villainous thing he does on-screen is kidnap Couchpo, and is otherwise a HarmlessVillain before Sister puts him back to normal.
* ButtMonkey: He's subject to all kinds of physical and verbal abuse, especially from Sister, which is all PlayedForLaughs.
* CutenessProximity: In the Belial Gore arc, he becomes entranced by Maria's true form as a tiny little CuteSlimeMook. This backfires when Maria changes back and beats him when his and Sister's guards are down.
* CripplingOverspecialization: His SumoWrestling skills are top grade, and he's briefly shown to equal Jinn in a wrestling match during their training on Foresta when Jinn could otherwise send him flying with Ether Gear. The catch is that it's also the only fighting style Mosco uses, and his enemies are always willing to exploit its weaknesses.
* DisguisedInDrag: He dresses up and acts like a woman in the Reunion arc while [[spoiler:infiltrating Illega's tower as a PlayAlongPrisoner]].
* DontTouchItYouIdiot: He has a button on his navel labeled "DON'T PUSH", which he tries pushing on numerous occasions. Sister doesn't say what it would do if pressed, except that she gets ''incredibly'' pissed whenever he or anyone else makes the attempt. [[spoiler:The final arc reveals it's a SplitPersonalitySwitchTrigger that changes Mosco into Cosmo, a [[SuperPoweredAlterEgo Super-Powered]], SexierAlterEgo who turns Sister into his submissive bondage slave.]]
* FatComicRelief: He's the only overweight member of the crew, and his main purpose for sticking around is to provide visual and verbal gags.
* {{Flight}}: He has the ability to fly by [[BeyondTheImpossible rapidly thrusting his arms in whatever direction he wants to go]]. Illega's men question the physics that make this possible.
* {{Gonk}}: He has a box-shaped head and a fatty frame that's wider than two averaged-sized people standing next to each other.
* GoodAllAlong: He initially appears as a member of the fake Sister's mercenary squad, Rogue Out. After getting shot up by Weisz, he's repaired by the real Sister and is revealed to have been part of the original crew with her from the start.
* GoodCostumeSwitch: After returning to the ''Edens Zero'' crew when Sister restores him to his friendly programming, he goes from a WalkingShirtlessScene to wearing a business suit that hardly fits him.
* HarmlessVillain: Apart from kidnapping Couchpo and helping with other illegal activities for ten years, Mosco poses no threat as a brainwashed Rogue Out member, and gets taken down by Weisz without putting up a fight.
* InSpiteOfANail: [[spoiler:The CosmicRetcon prevents Mosco from getting reprogrammed by the fake Sister, but he winds up becoming a part of Rogue Out anyway, this time of his own accord under the real Sister.]]
* TheLoad: He has absolutely no use in the Nero 66 arc when traveling with Shiki's group. The whole reason he comes is to fill the void left by Shiki by doing an impression of him, but gets kicked around by every enemy they come across.
* {{Manchild}}: He's an android with the image of a grown adult, but he's a fan of children's cartoons, which he repeatedly tries watching as a minor RunningGag.
* MemoryTrigger: [[spoiler:His memories return in Universe Zero after seeing Homura's attempts to use her Ether Gear.]]
* MesACrowd: [[spoiler:Universe Zero's Mosco has dozens of bots copying him which serve as the bulk of Rogue Out's fighting force.]]
* MultipleGunshotDeath: {{Subverted}}. When he's first introduced on Guilst as a villain, Weisz shoots him up with his [[MoreDakka Million Bullets]] to prove to Homura he's not messing around, but Sister patches him back up off-screen.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome:
** During the space battle around the satellite server over Foresta, Mosco is given the order to eliminate all the enemy drones while Jinn tends to Kleene's FreakOut and Laguna heads inside the satellite to back up Weisz and Hermit. Nothing is spoken of it, but the drones are gone when all is said and done, showing he pulled it off.
** {{Averted}} in the anime adaptation, where he's shown [[ButtMonkey getting pushed around]] by the drones, but still holding his own until they finally leave when the virus corrupting them is stopped.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: By all accounts, Mosco is a genuinely skilled sumo wrestler, with the Nero 66 arc revealing him to be a galactic ''yokozuna'', the highest rank in the sport. It's just that every other fighter in the series far outstrips him in fighting power thanks to their Ether Gear, or simply can't be bothered to follow the rules of sumo in combat.
* ProfessionalButtKisser: Despite all the abuse he gets from Sister, he has nothing but UndyingLoyalty to her and is always desperate for approval, proudly self-identifying as her manservant when Clown tries giving him a more flattering description like her valet.
* PungeonMaster: He's prone to using phrases that allude to his own fatness in the manga's English translation, such as calling Rogue Out "heavyweight knights" and saying the similarly chubby B-Cuber Couchpo is "massively adorable".
* RedBaron: {{Parodied}}. He asks Sister for a special title like all the Four Shining Stars and most of the crew have ("Shield of Edens", "Life of Edens", etc.). Sister calls him the "[[FatComicRelief Pig of Edens]]".
* RobotAntennae: He has a pair of antennae at the top of his head, showing him to be an android.
* RunningGag: In almost every scene he's in, he or someone else tries to press the button on his belly, just for Sister to angrily order them to stop.
* SeriesMascot: He serves as a tertiary mascot behind Happy and Pino, the main mascots.
* ShipTease: He gets a little of this with Couchpo. They get off on the wrong foot because [[AMatchMadeInStockholm he targeted her as a "cute" girl to be trafficked to Guilst]], but once they meet again, they bond over their mutual huge appetites and become quite close.
* SumoWrestling: He evokes the image of a sumo wrestler with his fat stature, open palm thrusting, and his VerbalTic "Moscoy", which is derived from the sumo term ''dosukoi''. He's later revealed to be a highly accomplished galactic sumo champion with the rank of ''yokozuna'' (the highest rank), but is very OvershadowedByAwesome.
* ThrowTheDogABone: While he's still a ButtMonkey as always, he gets a moment to shine in the Reunion arc by [[spoiler:slapping Illega in the face and freeing all his hostages, including Homura]].
* VerbalTic: He says the word "Moscoy" or some variation thereof, usually as a figure of expression. In Japanese, he speaks with a [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseDialects Kagoshima dialect]] and ends his sentences with "''gowasu''" whenever he speaks.
* VerbalTicName: His VerbalTic "Moscoy" is a {{Portmanteau}} of Mosco's name and ''[[SumoWrestling dosukoi]]''.
* VisualPun: His belly button is an actual button on his belly.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: He goes completely shirtless as a FanDisservice during his time with Rogue Out, and on multiple occasions after that.
* WhatExactlyIsHisJob: Witch describes him as the caretaker of the ''Edens Zero'', but none of his duties especially indicate that he's anything more than Sister's personal lapdog.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: According to his profile, he's scared of ghosts.
* YankTheDogsChain: He valiantly stands up against Nasseh and Ijuna on separate accounts in the Nero 66 arc, prepared to show off his true merit as a SumoWrestling champion, but gets knocked to the ground with a single attack both times.
* ZergRush: [[spoiler:His army of copies in Universe Zero is more of a nuisance than he was on his own in the previous world, though Shiki still manages to send them flying with ease.]]

->''"Anyone who cries in front of me, will never stand back up again."''

An effeminately dressed stage actor who first serves Drakken Joe as the Element 4's Element of Water. While blunt and seemingly unfazed by his employer's evil, he proves himself to be one of the more humane members of Drakken's team, and is eventually inducted into the crew by Witch. He prefers to keep his past and true intentions to himself.
::
Laguna's Ether Gear, "Tears Lover", allows him to not only control water, but also turn other people into water whenever they cry. Thus, he prefers to use dirty tactics to milk his enemies' tears for an easy win, only treating direct combat as a last resort.

* AgentPeacock: He has an effeminate appearance, and wears stilettos and make-up. He's also a powerful water Ether Gear user capable of going toe-to-toe with skilled fighters like Weisz and Homura.
* AnIcePerson: [[spoiler: When he unlocks his Overdrive, it allows him to manipulate the material state of the water he generates to form ice.]]
* AntiVillain: The Sandra arc reveals that Laguna's entire reason for joining Drakken Joe was to overthrow the evil [[TheEmpire Nero Empire]], whose ruler is one of the Oración Seis Galáctica, and thus [[IFightForTheStrongestSide someone who could be rivaled and potentially defeated by Drakken]].
* ArmedLegs: When faced with enemies like Weisz who are too tough to cry, Laguna simply [[AgonyOfTheFeet digs his stilettos into their feet]] to make them cry from the pain.
* BadassLongcoat: He dons a fancy, double-breasted coat [[spoiler:when he goes into [[SuperMode Overdrive]]]].
* BattleDiscretionShot: He squares off against Witch in World No.30 during the Belial Gore arc, but when the story cuts back to them after Fie and Daichi are defeated, Laguna is already beaten down while Witch doesn't have a scratch on her. Witch quickly finishes him off with Edens Glitter when next viewed.
* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:To Laguna, becoming a crewman aboard the ''Edens Zero'' is just another role he assumes in pursuit of his goal to take Nero down, no different from his role as an evil henchman of Drakken Joe. By the end of the Aoi War, however, he's formed a strong enough bond to the crew that he chooses to remain with them in the next world out of respect for Witch's dying wishes.]]

** In the Foresta arc, he shows up at the last second to help Weisz defeat the {{Cyborg}} Dr. Müller.
** In the Nero 66 arc, [[spoiler:Laguna stops a HatePlague-infected Shiki and Rebecca from murdering each other by turning them into water, which also returns them to their senses]].
** Along with Jinn in the Lendard arc, he comes to Holy's rescue when she's trapped inside Deadend Crow's body.
** In the final arc, Laguna steps in to help Shiki when Rebecca calls him for backup [[spoiler:against Lightning Law after pulling off a successful [[TimeRewindMechanic Reverse]] in Universe Zero.]]
* {{Biomanipulation}}: He uses Empire Ether, a technique common among Ether Gearists native to the Aoi Cosmos like himself, which allows him to manipulate his enemy's Ether on top of his own. In Laguna's case, this is how he can [[TheTransmogrifier change others into water]]. It also lets him restore others' Ether balance when they're affected by others' Empire Ether, as well as mend broken bones.
* BridalCarry: [[spoiler:He catches Ijuna in his arms this way after freeing her from her self-brainwashing.]]
* BrutalHonesty: Laguna holds nothing back about his opinions on other people, such as when he curtly demands Rebecca to take a shower because she hadn't bathed in a week due to being too caught up in grief over Shiki's death in World No.29.
* ColdHam: He is voiced with a dry yet theatrical flair in the anime, making him seem larger than life while still looking cold and aloof.
* CombatPragmatist: Since all he needs to do to win is to get people to tear up, Laguna pulls out all the stops when it comes to making sure they do: [[AgonyOfTheFeet stomping on their feet with stilettos]], telling a [[DarkAndTroubledPast sad backstory]], lying about free money on the ground (to provoke TearsOfJoy), making ''himself'' cry (because [[EverybodyCries crying is contagious]]), yawning (which is also contagious), and [[OnionTears crushing an onion]].
* CombatStilettos: He wears pointed high heels, both to reflect his status as a SissyVillain, and to serve as ArmedLegs for him to milk his enemies' tears out with.
* CrocodileTears: Laguna is an expert at crying tears on command, which helps him sell his emotional manipulation tactics and [[ElementalShapeshifter change himself into water]]. It's not all malevolent, however; it's also the only way he's able to [[UnableToCry cry at all]], because his workaholic ethic as an actor stunted his ability to cry "real", natural tears. [[spoiler:Most pointedly, Weisz catches him mourning everyone who died in the Aoi War with "fake" tears, but doesn't call him out on it because he correctly reasons that Laguna's grief is genuine.]]
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: His eye and hair colors are both blue.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He started out as a small-time actor, but something happened that led him to quit a promising career and join up with Drakken Joe in the Sakura Cosmos's criminal underworld, and he tells Witch to mind her own business when she prods him for details. [[spoiler:That something was the Nero Empire's invasion of his homeworld, which caused his best friend's death and left him so LostInCharacter that he couldn't cry over his death without treating it like another performance. This pushed him to joining the rebel army [[LaResistance Oasis]] while acting as a cold avenger, which lasted until Laguna grew frustrated with Oasis's lack of action and went AWOL, abandoning his comrades for anyone strong enough to crush the Empire, no matter how evil they were.]]
* DecoyBackstory: During the Belial Gore arc, he tells Homura his TragicBromance with a man who died of an illness before either of them could become the greatest MasterSwordsman, but Homura immediately figures out he made it up to trick Homura into crying and score an instant win. [[spoiler:He later reveals in the Nero 66 arc that his story was mostly true: the only differences were that he and his friend wanted to be {{Master Actor}}s, and that his friend was killed by the Nero Empire.]]
* DefeatMeansFriendship: {{Downplayed}}. Witch scouts him out to join the ''Edens Zero'' crew so he can help them retrieve a Relic from the planet Red Cave, but he only accepts so he can lay low from the authorities, and immediately shoots down Shiki's belief that this makes them friends. The real reason he joins, though, is that Laguna figures the crew has a shot at defeating Poseidon Nero, since they managed to eke out a win against Drakken.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Laguna joined [[LaResistance Oasis]] in the hopes that they would defeat Nero's empire, but found that they were "all idealistic talk and no action", leading him to walk out on them and all the friends he made there.
* EasilyForgiven: He's accepted by most of the ''Edens Zero'' crew rather quickly for someone who willingly worked for a crime lord as evil as Drakken Joe, though it helps that Rebecca put in a good word for him for the decent way he treated her in captivity. The only holdout is Weisz, who lets his personal hate for Drakken color his impressions of all his minions. [[spoiler:It takes Witch's LastRequest for the crew to be good to each other after her death that he rescinds his contempt for Laguna.]]
* ElementalEyeColors: He's a water Ether user with blue eyes.
* ElementalHairColors: He has blue hair to [[CurtainsMatchTheWindows match his eyes]] and water powers.
* ElementalShapeshifter: Laguna can turn his own power to change people into water on himself by [[CrocodileTears crying on command]]. Unlike his targets, who are completely helpless in their liquified state, Laguna can freely return to solid form at any time.
* ElementalWeapon: One of his aquatic powers is to create a sword made of water, which is solid enough to clash with Homura's Ether sword. [[spoiler:His Ice Brand attack also creates a sword of ice when he's in [[SuperMode Overdrive]].]]
* ExplainingYourPowerToTheEnemy: He tends to spell out how his powers require his opponents to cry. This gets exploited by Weisz in the Belial Gore arc, where he uses this knowledge to stage his own defeat with holographic technology and study Homura's fight with Laguna before stepping back in.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Laguna wears his normally spiked AnimeHair hair down, which bears a close resemblance to [[spoiler:Ijuna's hairstyle, implying he's still mourning her death]].
* EvilIsHammy: While usually TheStoic, he has more LargeHam moments as one of the villainous Element 4 than he does after his HeelFaceTurn. Given the later revelations of his character, it's {{implied}} that his hamminess was deliberately played up to begin with.
* FacialMarkings: When his Ether Gear is active, TronLines in the shape of tears manifest beneath his left eye.
* FamedInStory: By the Reunion arc, [[spoiler:his name and efforts as the new leader of Oasis are known well enough to be recognized by former emperor Nero and current emperor Shura.]]
* TheFashionista: Fashion is listed as his like in his character profile. This reflects in his stylish choice of clothing, and several of his chapter covers look like they're taken straight out of a fashion magazine.
* {{Foil}}:
** Laguna serves as one for Weisz, with both coming from criminal backgrounds while still being decent people at heart, and both preferring to [[CombatPragmatist fight dirty]] when they can afford it. The big difference is that Weisz stabbed his old gang in the back and strove to become a better person, whereas Laguna couldn't care less about which side he's on so long as there's no pointless evil involved. They've also both walked away from people [[WeUsedToBeFriends they once called friends]]: Weisz out of selfishness and insecurity over his criminal life, and Laguna in his pursuit of power and revenge.
** In the Nero 66 arc, he's revealed to be one for [[spoiler:Ijuna, another traitor to Oasis. But while Ijuna was kidnapped and [[MoreThanMindControl mentally warped]] into abandoning Oasis, just to turn her back on them of her own free will out of [[AMatchMadeInStockholm love for her captor]], Laguna walked out because he was never committed to Oasis to begin with, later finding a genuine group of friends and realizing the importance of the comrades he took for granted.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: He's introduced in the Belial Gore arc as the TokenGoodTeammate of Drakken Joe's QuirkyMinibossSquad, but in worlds where Drakken is defeated, he gets recruited by Witch to join the ''Edens Zero'' crew.
* HolographicDisguise: He dons one to make himself look like a middle-aged man while on the lam immediately after the Belial Gore arc. It's convincing enough for him to take up an acting career, but Witch is able to see right through him.
* IChooseToStay: [[spoiler:After the Aoi War, Laguna decides to complete his integration into the ''Edens Zero'' crew, which was originally just another role he assumed in pursuit of his goal to take Nero down. When Weisz questions why he doesn't go back to Oasis, Laguna explains there's still some bad blood between over how he betrayed them.]]
* IFightForTheStrongestSide: He sides with whomever he feels has the best shot at defeating the [[TheEmpire Nero Empire]], not caring if that someone is a vile scoundrel like Drakken Joe. He boards the ''Edens Zero'' for the same reason at first, but that changes when he develops a more genuine sense of loyalty to his new crewmates, especially after Witch's HeroicSacrifice to save them all, Laguna included.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Uses an onion in battle, as breaking one open [[OnionTears causes people to cry]], allowing him to use his Ether Gear on them.
* ItsPersonal: While everyone in Oasis and the ''Edens Zero'' crew wants to put an end to Nero's tyranny and stop Shura from committing robot genocide, Laguna has a more personal reason for joining LaResistance, [[spoiler:as his best friend was killed by the empire]].
* KarmicJackpot: His PetTheDog moments to Rebecca in World No.29 ensure that she has a good word to put in for him with the crew when Witch decides to recruit him in the next world.
* LogicalWeakness:
** Laguna's ability to turn a person into water if they cry in his presence is near StoryBreakerPower levels, since it can easily let him defeat foes who would normally outmatch him, but the key weakness is that stipulation: an enemy UnableToCry can avoid his OneHitKO. [[spoiler:By the final arc, however, he's able to pull this off on the Skeleton Army, who are incapable of crying physically, but still express profound sorrow over [[SympathyForTheHero being forced to fight Shiki]].]]
** Laguna's [[MakingASplash Water Ether Gear]] gives him a natural weakness to [[ShockAndAwe electricity]]. [[spoiler:He works around this when he Overdrives for the first time in the final arc by changing his water into [[AnIcePerson ice]], which doesn't conduct electricity as potently as water.]]
* LostInCharacter: Everything that led to him joining Drakken is because of this. [[spoiler:He'd become so absorbed in his roles that, when the Nero Empire invaded his home and his best friend was killed, Laguna caught himself critiquing and adjusting his own method of crying, like his grief was all just another performance. Recognizing he was falling down a rabbit hole, he retired and joined LaResistance against the Empire, but lost himself in a new "role" as an unfeeling man hellbent on revenge, which kept him distant from his fellow rebels until it drove him to leave in search of someone strong enough to help him achieve vengeance.]]
* MakeupIsEvil: {{Subverted}}. He's indicated as a SissyVillain by being the only Element 4 member (and one of the few male characters, for that matter) to wear makeup, but he's actually the TokenGoodTeammate alongside Kleene, and keeps wearing the makeup as an ally of the ''Edens Zero'' crew.
* MakingASplash: He's the water specialist of the Element 4 whose main power is to turn other people into water when they cry. On top that, he can also WalkOnWater, speak clearly from underwater, and create a [[ElementalWeapon water sword]].
* MasterActor: He's a professional stage actor who can flip between happy and sad expressions seconds apart from each other, whip up a backstory for himself on the spot (albeit based on personal experience), and shed CrocodileTears on command. He uses these skills to coax people into crying so he can [[OneHitKO turn them into water]], or [[ElementalShapeshifter himself]] when needed.
* MasterSwordsman: Despite his tendency to avoid fighting in favor of an easy OneHitKO, his skills with his [[ElementalWeapon water sword]] let him fight on par with Homura, who was trained since childhood to hone her skills.
* MeaningfulName: ''Laguna'' is another word for "lagoon", a body of water, in multiple languages.
* MistakenForMurderer: [[spoiler:When his crewmates find him again in Universe Zero, he [[BoomHeadshot caps Aruna's mother in the head]] in cold blood. Just as Shiki starts tearing into Laguna, Ibaraki hollers "CUT!" and the woman gets up totally unharmed, revealing the "murder" was just a movie production Shiki was interrupting.]]
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: [[spoiler:After getting his memories back in Universe Zero and finding himself [[RebelLeader leader of Oasis]] against the recently crowned Emperor Shura, Laguna assumes the worst of Shura and believes killing him is necessary for the good of the Aoi Cosmos. Once it's proven that this world's Shura isn't the bloodthirsty monster he was in other worlds, however, Laguna reconsiders his stance and helps negotiate an EnemyMine with the Empire.]]
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: When Rebecca has been captured by Drakken Joe in World No.29, Laguna's demand for Rebecca to take a shower unwittingly gives her an opportunity to escape into the next world, because Drakken keeps no cameras in the bathroom for basic decency's sake, and is thus unable to react in time when Rebecca's Ether Gear fully awakens.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: His prominent cheekbones, makeup, and style of dress make him look like he stepped right out of ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure''.
* NotSoStoic:
** Laguna is typically an unemotional man who only breaks his cool when acting on purpose or getting LostInCharacter, but he becomes truly shocked and horrified in the Nero 66 arc when he finds out [[spoiler:his former comrade Ijuna joined the Empire, and the [[TooMuchInformation sickening details]] that led her to [[AMatchMadeInStockholm fall in love her captor and torturer, Shura]]]].
** During the Reunion arc, [[spoiler:it's implied that he is no longer emotionally stunted in Universe Zero as he was before, allowing him to express a broader range of genuine emotions, such as utter shock over seeing Xenolith in Miimi's body, TearsOfJoy over seeing Witch alive, and {{Corpsing}} over seeing the balding old man Weisz would become.]]
* OneHitKO: His Ether Gear's primary power is to turn people into helpless but [[AndIMustScream still living]] [[ImMelting puddles of water]] while they're shedding tears. Naturally, most of his fight against the ''Edens Zero'' crew revolves less around combat and more around getting them to cry.
* OutOfFocus: Laguna doesn't get nearly the same amount of character attention as most of the crew in this Universe, and is relegated to a supporting role in the battle against Deadend Crow.
* PetTheDog: Laguna turns Rebecca into water to spare her from being tortured by Daichi, and later visits her to make her week of captivity as comfortable as possible, though he remains blunt about the whole thing. This proves to Rebecca that he's not as bad a person as the rest of Drakken's men, which [[KarmicJackpot pays off for him]] in the next world.

** Laguna starts out firmly on Drakken's side before Rebecca's first time leap, but after she returns to the past and alters it to the point of Witch defeating Laguna instead of Weisz, Witch is able to convince Laguna to join the crew.
** [[spoiler:Universe Zero's Oasis becomes a large and powerful enough fighting force to contend with the Empire without the ''Edens Zero'' crew's help. As a result, Laguna does not lose faith in their cause and abandon them, instead rising to become Oasis's leader instead of Goodwin.]]
* PunchClockVillain: When he isn't trying to capture or kill the heroes, Laguna is an ordinary and somewhat blunt sort of guy, which gives Rebecca the impression that he isn't a bad person, despite her having every reason to fear the guy he works for. On the flip side, he's not particularly remorseful about working for Drakken Joe, either.
* RebelLeader: [[spoiler:Due to the CosmicRetcon, Laguna winds up becoming the leader of [[LaResistance Oasis]] instead of Goodwin.]]
* RedBaron: He calls himself the "Spirit of Water" when working as one of the Element 4.
* RedemptionPromotion: Laguna starts out one of Drakken Joe's top fighters, but becomes a great deal more formidable after his HeelFaceTurn, to the point of eventually [[spoiler:Overdriving and single-handedly defeating Lightning Law, one of the Oración Seis Galáctica in Universe Zero, where the Galáctica are more powerful than previous members like Drakken.]]
* ShipSinking: [[spoiler:When Shura's [[SecretaryOfEvil secretary]] and self-brainwashed DarkMistress Ijuna is revealed to be one of Laguna's ex-comrades from Oasis, it's shown that she used to have a one-sided crush on him, which he lightly teased her for, in his usual blunt manner. Just when it seems they'll have another chance together when Laguna restores her mind, Ijuna still remains devoted to Shura and chooses to be TogetherInDeath with him, because brainwashing or not, [[AMatchMadeInStockholm she'd already started to fall for him under his captivity]].]]
* SissyVillain: He has an effeminate dress code that includes thick makeup and high heels, and he works as a henchman of the most notorious criminal in the Sakura Cosmos before his HeelFaceTurn.
* StevenUlyssesPerhero: His name means "lagoon", and he works as a water-type Ether Gear user in a ClassicalElementsEnsemble. {{Discussed}} between him and the Rutherford siblings, who are [[BlowYouAway wind users]] who both take {{Code Name}}s from wind spirits ("Jinn" and "Sylph"), and are surprised that Laguna turned out to be his real name.
* TheStoic: {{Deconstructed}}. He's typically unemotional and blunt, but only because his ability to properly express himself was badly stunted by his tendency to get LostInCharacter throughout his career as a MasterActor, leaving him unable to do things such as cry without [[CrocodileTears faking it]], even when he's genuinely sad.
* TearsOfJoy: Despite remaining as stoic as ever, he can't contain his joy and cries in the Reunion arc over [[spoiler:reuniting with an alive-and-well Witch in Universe Zero.]]
* ThatCameOutWrong: When fighting the ''Edens Zero'' crew for the first time, Laguna tells Homura he'll make her "sopping wet" in no time. He means he'll turn her into water, but she hears it as [[DoubleEntendre something more indecent]].
* TokenGoodTeammate: While unopposed to working for a villain as evil as Drakken, he proves himself to be the most decent person on Drakken's entire team when he stops Daichi from needlessly torturing Rebecca, and routinely visits her to make her as comfortable as she possibly can be when she's suffering a major HeroicBSOD over Shiki's death. She uses this to vouch for him when Witch recruits Laguna to help the ''Edens Zero'' crew.
* TooMuchInformation: PlayedForDrama in the Nero 66 arc, where he [[NotSoStoic uncharacteristically]] freaks and begs it to stop when [[spoiler:Ijuna details how Shura repeatedly stripped her naked and walked her like a dog in public with [[AssShove a bomb inserted in her rectum]]]].
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:The final arc sees two major steps up for Laguna in terms of power. First is that he's learned to turn people into water even when they're UnableToCry, so long as they express sorrow. Second is that he's capable of Overdriving for the first time, which gives him the power boost he needs to defeat Lightning Law, one of Universe Zero's Oración Seis Galáctica; for comparison, Law is said to be more powerful than the original Galáctica, including Laguna's old boss, Drakken Joe).]]
* TragicBromance: {{Invoked}}. He tells Homura a DecoyBackstory about a brother-in-arms of his who died of illness to move Homura to tears, but she sees straight through the attempt. [[spoiler:At the end of the Nero 66 arc, it's revealed there was some truth in his sob story, as he did have a best friend who was killed by the Nero Empire, which led him to realize his stunted emotions and set him on a path of revenge that led him to working for Drakken Joe.]]
* TheTransmogrifier: His Ether Gear can transform people into water when they cry in front of him, which is an effect of his [[{{Biomanipulation}} Empire Ether]].
* UnableToCry: {{Downplayed}}. He's able [[CrocodileTears crying on command]] as a staple of the acting business, but his ability to cry as a natural, emotional reflex has been stunted by years of getting LostInCharacter.
* VillainousBreakdown: In the crew's first battle with Drakken Joe, Laguna grows more and more agitated over Weisz working his way around his water powers that he loses his cool and tries to kill him. [[spoiler:Given later reveals about his stunted range of emotional expression, and how he approaches life itself like a stage production, this is more a case of him getting LostInCharacter.]]
* VillainousCheekbones: His prominent cheekbones are one of his few masculine features as an otherwise SissyVillain, though this is {{subverted}} when his less villainous position in the story comes to light.
* WalkOnWater: One of his Ether Gear's multiple water-based features includes rising from a body of water and walking along its surface.
* WaterIsWomanly: {{Gender Flip}}ped. Laguna is the water representative of the Element 4, but he's also a man--an effeminate man who wears high heels and makeup, and is more feminine than the only woman in the group, [[EmotionlessGirl Sylph/Kleene]].
* WaterMagicIsIce: [[spoiler:His Overdrive changes his water attacks into ice.]]
* WeUsedToBeFriends: He and the rest of Oasis were comrades who fought the Nero Empire together, but when they meet again, everyone in Oasis turns their guns on him for deserting them years ago. However, it's soon revealed to be {{downplayed}}, as Laguna's old friends admit they're happier to see him and fight by his side again than they first let on, and [[IfIWantedYouDead would have only shot him if they really meant it]].
* WholeCostumeReference: [[spoiler:When he finally Overdrives in Universe Zero, he becomes a walking shoutout to [[Franchise/FairyTail Gray Fullbuster and Juvia Lockser]]. The new form gives him the same style of coat as Juvia, mastery over ice in addition to his affinity for water, and the outfit has an armband that has a very suspicious "G+J" emembroidered onto it. His hair is already a fusion of the two, with his hair color closer to Juvia's and his hair style closer to Gray's.]] Also serves as a ProductionThrowback.
* WouldHitAGirl: He doesn't hold anything back against female opponents, as seen with Homura in the Belial Gore arc and [[spoiler:his ex-comrade Ijuna in the Nero 66 arc]].

[[folder:Couchpo]]
!!Couchpo (Chloé Françoise Ai)
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SatomiArai (Japanese), Creator/JaniceKawaye (English)[[labelnote: Foreign [=VAs=]]]Karla Carrizo (Latin American Spanish), Daria Levannier (French), Giada Sabellico (Italian), Karina Fonseca (Portuguese)[[/labelnote]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ez_couchpo_anime.png]]
->''"I mean, it's true, I can't fight like Shiki can. But I can at least protect this kitchen and the smiles it brings to your faces."''

A gluttonous B-Cube celebrity who runs the food-centric [=MoguMogu=] Channel.[[note]]"Munch Munch" Channel[[/note]] She becomes good friends with Rebecca when they and 27 other B-Cubers are kidnapped off the streets of Blue Garden to the planet Guilst. During a chance encounter with the crew on Foresta, Couchpo quickly makes herself at home in their ship's kitchen and sticks around on their travels, eventually earning a name for herself as the "Stomach of Edens".

* ActionSurvivor: Couchpo has no Ether Gear or any other combat expertise like the rest of the crew, but she still has the spunk and street-smarts to survive on Foresta for a week after the planet's robots rise against the humans, and holds her own in battle by [[ExtremeOmnivore gnawing on the robots' heads]].
* AscendedExtra: She starts off as a BitCharacter in the Guilst arc, becomes a RecurringExtra for a couple of arcs and an {{Omake}}, and finally gets promoted to main cast member after appearing in the Foresta arc.
* BigEater: All her content revolves around eating and making food critiques. It's also indicated that her love of cuisine rubbed off on Rebecca through her videos.
* BigFun: She's an overweight girl and the most upbeat of all the kidnapped B-Cubers befriended by Rebecca.
* TheConscience: She takes on this role in the Nero 66 arc when Witch's abduction raises tensions among the crew, first by firmly but gently scolding Shiki for angrily barking orders at his friends, and again when she stops Sister and Hermit from rushing out and leaving the ship unguarded when the rest of their friends are already fighting to save Witch.
* DubNameChange: Her [[RedBaron title]], "Stomach of Edens", more accurately translates to "Appetite of Edens"[[note]]''Edens no Shoku''[[/note]] in Japanese.
* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: Her first appearance in the manga gives her shades of {{Gonk}} with her beady eyes and nostrils with no pronounced nose, in contrast to her more cute-looking design in later arcs, which forms the basis of her anime design.
* ExtremeOmnivore: She eats anything that looks remotely edible, including the foam bubbles used to dissolve her clothes.
* FireForgedFriends: Along with the other B-Cubers trafficked by Rogue Out who escape Guilst together, Couchpo goes from a stranger who's never heard of Rebecca to one of her dearest friends.
* {{Gonk}}: On top of her weight, her design starts out with beady eyes, giant lips, and a stubby nose to make her stick out among the girls she gets kidnapped with in the Guilst arc. However, her ugliness is gradually toned down to make her ProgressivelyPrettier while keeping her body size the same.
* HiddenDepths: She has quite a few for someone whose personality initially seems to revolve around being a BigEater: one, she's able to keep a calm and rational mind in dangerous and potentially fatal situations; two, her profile page lists her with [[SmarterThanYouLook a maxed out intelligence stat]]; and three, she has a firm grasp on editing, producing, and distributing her content, showing there's more to her online success than just cruising on being a BigEater.
* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: When a HumongousMecha breaks into her hiding place on Foresta, looking for hidden humans and a food thief--i.e., Couchpo herself--she feels a greater need to clarify that she paid for the food she took than to panic over the human-hating automaton that threatens her.
* InsaneTrollLogic:
** She isn't happy to see Mosco at first in the Foresta arc due to how he kidnapped her in the Guilst arc, not realizing that Mosco was {{Brainwashed}} at the time. However, she almost immediately decides he can't possibly be bad because [[RightForTheWrongReasons he's someone who loves to eat as much as she does]].
** She resolves to protect the ship's kitchen with all her might immediately after admitting she can't fight. When Rebecca questions how she'll pull it off, Couchpo concludes that it might awaken some kind of fighting power lying dormant within herself if it means saving the food. [[LampshadeHanging Happy wonders how that makes any sense]].
* JustHereForTheFreeSnacks: Her motivation for sticking around on the ''Edens Zero'' after the Foresta arc is her amazement with the ship's MatterReplicator kitchen, which, according to her, can produce enough cuisine to last three years worth of videos.
* ManBitesMan: She uses her appetite to fight back against Foresta's robots, gnawing on their heads.
* TheMentor: She helps Rebecca improve as a B-Cuber after joining the crew, providing her with some desperately needed video-making tips and constructive criticism. [[spoiler:By the end of the TimeSkip, Rebecca has skyrocketed in popularity thanks to Couchpo's guidance, hitting three times her initial one million subscriber goal.]]
* NervesOfSteel: Despite having zero fighting skill and getting wrapped up in several hostage situations and wars, Couchpo never once caves in to fear or panic.
* NiceGirl: She's one of the sweetest people the crew knows, sticking around out of loyalty despite all the danger the crew gets into, and providing a calming presence whenever they're in a panic.
* PluckyGirl: She always keeps an upbeat and determined attitude, regardless of her lack of fighting skill or the danger she repeatedly finds herself in.
* PunnyName: Her screen name is derived from "couch potato".
* PutOnABus: After most of the ''Edens Zero'' crew reunites in Universe Zero, they decide that its best that not to involve either her or Labilia in upcoming conflict against Void or the search for Mother deeming it too dangerous.
* ProgressivelyPrettier: Her design gradually shifts away from the "fat, ugly girl" variety of {{Gonk}} to make her look more cartoonishly cute, with bigger eyes and a round button nose.
* RedBaron: She gets her very own title among the ''Edens Zero'' crew as the "Stomach of Edens".
* ShipTease: She gets some with Mosco, her {{Brainwashed}} kidnapper from the Guilst arc, whom she takes a shine to over their shared love of cuisine.
* SkewedPriorities: No matter what the situation is, whether it's trying to break out of Illega Tower or getting surrounded by a robot uprising, Couchpo's biggest priority is ''always'' either getting her hands on food or protecting whatever food she's already secured.
* SlasherSmile: PlayedForLaughs when she makes one during a BadassBoast to anyone foolish enough to keep her apart from her food in the middle of a coming life-or-death war; it's unnerving enough to startle Jinn and Laguna, two prime examples of TheStoic in the series.
* VocalDissonance: In the anime, she speaks with a peculiarly high-pitched, squeaky voice for a girl her age and size.

!!{{Walking Spoiler}}s (unmarked spoilers for Chapters 169 onward)

[[folder:The Captain]]
!!Captain Connor (Universe 3)
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ez_connor_u3.png]]

The Connor of Universe 3. Unlike in previous Universes, where he is the ''Edens One''[='=]s captain for hire under Ziggy, here he is a worker from Ziggy's factory on the planet Lendard. He chances upon the ''Edens Zero'' crew while fleeing for dear life from the Demon King, soon discovering himself to be none other than Rebecca's father, and cementing himself as the ship's captain.

->See Characters/EdensZeroCrewOfEdensOne for information on Connor in Universes 1 and 2 (prior to Chapter 171).

* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: After he reveals to Rebecca that he's her father, Rebecca is mortified by him showing her parental affection in front of her crewmates, putting on a Happy costume to fulfill her childhood dream, offering her to play an 18+ HGame with him, and [[ParentalSexualitySquick making out with her mother right in front of her]].
* AmicableExes: He and Rachel were HappilyMarried for three years, so he couldn't understand why she left him with their newborn daughter, whom she would later abandon. Nevertheless, he's reluctant to assume the worst of his ex-wife even after discovering she's one of the Oración Seis Galáctica, and once everything is cleared up between them, they pick up right where they left off.
* BackFromTheDead: According to Rachel, Connor has been killed an untold number of times by her {{Cult}} due to their ForbiddenLove, and she undid every one of those deaths by reversing time until she came to a world where he didn't die.
* BigDamnReunion: DoubleSubverted. His and Rebecca's reunion after 18 years gets off to an awkward start, since Rebecca has trouble accepting a sketchy DirtyOldMan as her father. However, after fully learning why he and her mother were torn apart from her, and realizing how much they still love her after all these years, Rebecca sets her misgivings aside and jumps into their arms, crying TearsOfJoy.
* TheCaptain: Shiki dubs him the official captain of the ''Edens Zero'' after proving his AcePilot chops in getting them out of the Interstellar Union Army's clutches, despite getting them into that mess in the first place.
* ChangedMyMindKid: Universe 3's Connor is so desperate to escape from Ziggy that he strongarms them into hiding him on another planet before they plan to take on the Demon King. However, he's inspired to return and help them fight after seeing them fight courageously for each other, and learning from Noah not only that they have no parents of their own, but that [[LukeIAmYourFather Rebecca is his long-lost daughter]]. {{Lampshaded}} by this exchange:
-->'''Weisz:''' Wait a minute. This guy just ''ran away'' from Lendard. And that's exactly where we're headed. What changed your mind?\\
'''Connor:''' Would it sound too idealistic to say...when I saw the lot of ye fightin', it captured me old heart?
* CowardlyLion: Connor is a good deal more panicky and cowardly in Universe 3 than he is in Universes 1 and 2. However, he's quite noble and heroic when properly inspired, enough to directly face off against Deadend Crow, one of the most dangerous androids in the universe.
* FlatWhat: He reacts this way upon learning from Noah that he and Rebecca are father and daughter, exactly like Rebecca does when he tells her the truth.
* ForbiddenLove: As an outsider to the Church of Saintfire, his romance with Rachel, their Archbishop, used to be strict taboo to the church under punishment of death. When the church's fanatics caught up with Rachel, they killed Connor and kept doing so each time she reversed time to save him until she finally found one where he wasn't killed, forcing her to leave him. With the Church's old customs abandoned by the time Connor's family reunites, however, he and Rachel more than happily pick up where they left off.
* FreudianSlip: Hermit pieces together Connor's identity as Rebecca's father after he uses video streaming lingo in place of nautical speak, indicating that he'd been secretly watching his daughter's livestreams and keeping their relationship a secret until the time was right.
* GoingDownWithTheShip: {{Subverted}} in his backstory in Universe 3, where he used to be a captain from the [[LaResistance Freedom Force]] that fought the Nero Empire, but fled his ship before it sunk because he refused to die before finding his wife and daughter. He feels great shame for abandoning his post, but also reasons that he wouldn't have made much difference if he stayed.
* HappilyMarried: Connor and Rachel were this for three years before the Church of Saintfire shattered their happy life and forced Rachel to return to them. [[spoiler:In Universe Zero, they're joyfully reunited and remain together for good.]]
* IChooseToStay: [[spoiler:After getting back together with Rachel in Universe Zero, Connor chooses to stay with her on Miltz rather than continue traveling with the ''Edens Zero'' crew, since he'd lost all his piloting skills thanks to the CosmicRetcon.]]
* IWillFindYou: His wife, Rachel, left him with their newborn daughter years ago, which prompted Connor to travel the cosmos in search of them. He succeeds in finding his daughter, Rebecca, while Rachel--a.k.a. Saintfire Nox--is brought to him in the Lendard arc.
* LukeIAmYourFather: He's confirmed in the Lendard arc to be Rebecca's father, which he himself learned from Noah, and which Sister and Hermit pieced together already, but kept secret to let his child hear it from him once he was ready to tell the truth. Consequently, he's also revealed to be the ex-husband of Saintfire Nox, whom he knows as Rachel.
* MuggleMageRomance: He is an ordinary space captain who fell in love with one of the most powerful {{Time Master}}s in the universe.
* NotWhatISignedUpFor: This Connor signed up to get his piloting skills scanned and copied onto robots for [[OnlyInItForTheMoney decent pay]]. The hiring team left out the detail that those robots would be part of an evil Demon King's invasion force. His immediate response upon learning this is to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere hit the cosmic trail out of there]].
* OldFlame: He and Rachel were HappilyMarried before she was forced to leave him with their unborn daughter. When they find each other again after eighteen years, they resume their loving, passionate relationship without a hitch.
* PervertDad: {{Downplayed}} when it's revealed his daughter is Rebecca, whom he climbed into the bath with when mistaking it for a co-ed bath in Universe 1, and ogled in her bikini with the other ladies on Dahlia, before their relationship was revealed. However, he legitimately didn't know Rebecca was his daughter the first time, and in the second, he was [[OnceMoreWithClarity clarified]] to be non-sexually admiring how beautiful his baby daughter has become. Also, while this doesn't stop him from engaging in uncomfortable behavior like treating himself to her more suggestive videos, he never once intends to make any physical moves on her.
* RapidFireNo: Just like Rebecca after him, this is Connor's second reaction to learning that he is Rebecca's father, following a FlatWhat.
* RousingSpeech: He gives one in the Lendard arc right before the ''Edens Zero'' charges into battle with Ziggy's army, which also doubles as a personal NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech.
-->''"I may be a man what fled from Lendard...but with this ship on me side, I can fight. Mateys...for the future of both humans and machines...we cannot let Ziggy do as he pleases any longer. I have chosen to fight. Now that me mind is made up, I'm prepared to stake me life on this ship. That scurvy scum sent his robot soldiers to dominate peaceful planets...and mercilessly kill scores of humans. Some what were children. Some what were happy families. Some what were young buckos dreamin' of the future. '''I say we take it back!! Let's bring peace back to the cosmos!!!'''"''
* SharedFamilyQuirks: Connor has quite a bit in common with Rebecca, namely her piloting skill, huge appetite, bad table manners, having the same kind of comedic panic attack when he describes escaping from Lendard as she did when she thought she was trapped in Norma's past, and sharing the same reaction to the news that they're related.
* SoleSurvivor: Connor is the only one out of the 100 human recruits to escape with his life; the rest are coincidentally stepped on by Deadend Crow, though [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness they would've been killed by Ziggy anyway]].
* TearsOfJoy: Sheds these at the end of the Lendard arc after he, Rebecca, and Rachel are fully reunited for the first time in 18 years.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: After the TimeSkip, the crew (barring Shiki and Pino) aren't happy to accept his help in getting away from the Interstellar Union Army, since he got them into the whole mess by forcing them to hide him on Blue Garden. It's only when he gets backed up by Rebecca--who has the least reason to trust him after he fought against them in Universe 2--that they set their grudges aside.
* UglyGuyHotWife: Connor is the middle-aged, balding and overweight husband to an AbsurdlyYouthfulMother.
* WalkingSpoiler: This Connor's existence not only explicitly confirms the series' setting to be TheMultiverse, but he's also revealed to be Rebecca's father, whom she'd been searching for since the start of the series.
* YoureInsane: All the crazy stunts he pulls as a crew member in Universe 3, from disabling the ArtificialGravity at maximum speed to diving headfirst into an asteroid field, leaves his pursuers and his crewmates questioning his sanity.

!!Labilia Christy

Three years after the Aoi War, Labilia's popularity as a B-Cuber plummets in sharp contrast to Rebecca's rising fame, leaving her on the verge of obscurity. After revealing herself to be suffering from a terminal illness, she's brought aboard the ''Edens Zero'' for treatment, rekindling her friendship with Rebecca.

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ez_cosmo_6.png]]
->''"Lady Ivry belongs to '''me'''. No one other than myself is allowed to degrade her."''

Mosco's alter ego, who only emerges when his forbidden button is pushed. Cosmo is Mosco's opposite in virtually every way, extending to his relationship with Sister, whom he treats as his property.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Cosmo is Sister's superior when it comes to erotic domination, being the only character in the series to thoroughly subjugate her to the point where she begrudgingly enjoys it.
* BattleButler: He's a [[BadassInANiceSuit smartly dressed]] butler and licensed UsefulNotes/{{BDSM}} master with unmatched [[BoundAndGagged bondage]] skills that can wreck an android as powerful as one of the Four Dark Stars in an instant.
* CoolOldGuy: He's a sharp-looking SilverFox who gives Happy the impression of being fairly strong before he even makes a move.
* HypocriticalHeartwarming: For how harshly he subjugates Sister, he is also very protective of her, declaring himself the only one allowed to punish her, as Clown finds out the hard way in the final arc.
* KnowsTheRopes: His Galactic Bondage Knots instantly [[BoundAndGagged tie up his victims]] in rope, allowing him to contort their bodies or [[ShockAndAwe electrify]] them with the snap of a finger.
* LastNameBasis: Cosmo is the only character who refers to Sister exclusively by her second name as "Lady Ivry", though it's {{downplayed}} considering [[spoiler:Ivry was Sister's original name before she became an android]].
* RedBaron: He calls himself the "Space Butler".
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: There is nothing visibly mechanical about him, so much that the only indicator that he's an android is the fact that he's another form of Mosco.
* SexierAlterEgo: {{Exaggerated}}. Cosmo is a slender, white-haired, mustachioed SilverFox who has no physical similarities whatsoever to Mosco, a {{Gonk}} sumo wrestler with black hair, chalk white skin, and no facial hair.
* SignificantAnagram: "Cosmo" is simply "Mosco" with the letters rearranged.
* SuperEmpowering: Cosmo's Ether can be turned into a MagicPotion called Cosmo Energy much like how Sister's healing power can be made into a HealingPotion, allowing whoever drinks it to survive in space for a short time.
* SuperPoweredAlterEgo: {{Downplayed}}. On his own, Mosco is a talented sumo wrestler with certain superhuman powers such as {{Flight}}, but is typically overshadowed by other Ether Gear users and androids. Cosmo, on the other hand, is a fully fledged BattleButler with Ether power that easily surpasses that of Clown, who is designed to be the SuperiorSuccessor to Sister.
* VerbalTic: The one and only trait he shares with Mosco is his tendency to say "Moscoy".

Technically Universe 2's Rebecca, who was catapulted 20,000 years into the future of Universe 3173 along with Shiki during the Aoi War. Having died by the time she and Shiki were discovered, her preserved body was stripped of its time-travel Ether by the minds who constructed the ''Edens Zero'', who amplified it and loaded it back onto the ship within her B-Cube as Etherion.

* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: ZigZagged. Rebecca's body was found in just as poor shape as Shiki was, but the scientists who recovered her managed to restore her physical appearance to pristine beauty by the time she's shown, leaving the extent of the damage unseen.
* ChekhovsGun: Her B-Cube, which is seen in Chapter 4 unearthed along with her body [[MeanwhileInTheFuture 20,000 years in the future]]. Not only does the engraving of the ''Edens Zero''[='=]s name on it serve as [[StableTimeLoop a partial inspiration for the ship's name when it's built in the future]], but the cube itself is chosen by the ship's architects as the container for Etherion.
* ChekhovsGunman: She's first mentioned as an unidentified human corpse found by a pair of androids in Chapter 4, with her B-Cube being the only clue to her identity before it's confirmed 200 chapters later. On top of that, she turns out to be the source of Etherion.
* DeadAlternateCounterpart: This version of Rebecca did not survive the spacetime distortion that blasted her tens of thousands of years into the future.
* DropDeadGorgeous: Although she's dead, her Ether keeps her body from decomposing, leaving her perfectly preserved--and naked--for decades.
* HumanResources: Etherion was created from the last traces of this Rebecca's Ether, which was extracted from her body, amplified, contained within her B-Cube, and sealed behind closed doors aboard ''Edens Zero'' as "Code 3173", giving the ship the ability to move through time.
* TheLostLenore: She's the only one of Shiki's friends that he can remember while suffering from IdentityAmnesia as Ziggy, if only vaguely, and he regularly visits her body on planet Eden while wishing he could remember more. Sadly, after the incident with a Chronophage that strands him on Granbell in Universe 1's past, Ziggy forgets about her completely.
* RecurringElement: Rebecca's connection to Etherion and the number 3173 is an element that Mashima used with the main heroine of ''Manga/RaveMaster'', Elie, combined with Mavis's connection to Fairy Heart in ''Manga/FairyTail'', though the overall usage is different from either series.[[labelnote: Explanation (''Rave Master'' and ''Fairy Tail'' spoilers)]]In ''Rave Master'', Etherion is a power that Elie was born with and could use at will, and her name is an upside-down reading of the number 3173 (ELIE) tattooed on her arm, which is mistaken for a serial number in a human experiment to imbue people with Etherion's power. Here, Etherion is more like Fairy Heart: born from within a person's body after death (Mavis, in ''Fairy Tail''[='=]s case); sealed inside a vessel within a crystal behind closed doors; and allowing one to travel back in time. The difference here is that Fairy Heart was created directly within Mavis, who remains its vessel; this Etherion wasn't made until after its energy was extracted from Rebecca, and its vessel is her B-Cube. As for the 3173 in ''EDENS ZERO'', it comes from the parallel universe where Etherion was made.[[/labelnote]]

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Cosmo is Sister's superior when it comes to erotic domination, being the only character in the series to thoroughly subjugate her to the point where she enjoys it.

* SexierAlterEgo: {{Exaggerated}}. Cosmo is a slender, white-haired, mustachioed SilverFox who has absolutely no physical similarities to Mosco, a {{Gonk}} sumo wrestler with black hair, chalk white skin, and no facial hair.
