History Characters / FutureRobotDaltaniousEarthlingsAndAssociates

* TheGunslinger: When he's not piloting Daltanious, his main weapon is a gun.

* TheHero: Not a very virtuous one. But [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold when he shines, he shines]].

** He often calls out Earl's LackOfEmpathy, and is particularly angered when Earl displays a lack of care for small children like Ochame and Jiro.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: (See GoodIsNotNice below) Let it be known that even if Kento can be a selfish, feisty, attention-seeking little runt, he genuinely cares about people and struggles with his [[ParentalAbandonment own]] [[YouKilledMyFather demons]]. Yes, he is an unpleasant at times, but there isn't a single person he's met who's life hasn't improved since meeting him, and he'll sacrifice his own happiness if it means peace for the entire galaxy.

* {{Jerkass}}: He's frequently rude to all his friends, he puts down Earl who wants the best for him, the local townspeople hate him because he steals from them and incites chaos, and he's HotBlooded to the point nearly any attempt to talk with him ends in a screaming match.
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** In the first episode, Sanae tells him off for stealing, saying he should work honestly and get a real job instead. She has no response when Kento replies that honesty won't fill their stomachs.
** While he's often rude to Earl, he's also a fifteen year old boy, and for Earl to put the burden of piloting a SuperRobot/managing Helios' messy politics on a child is ridiculous.
** He often calls out Earl's LackOfEmpathy, and is particularly angered when Earl displays a lack of care for small children like Ochame and Jiro.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: (See GoodIsNotNice below) Let it be known that even if Kento can be a selfish, feisty, attention-seeking little runt, he genuinely cares about people and struggles with his [[ParentalAbandonment own]] [[YouKilledMyFather demons]]. Yes, he is an unpleasant at times, but there isn't a single person he's met who's life hasn't improved since meeting him, and he'll sacrifice his own happiness if it means peace for the entire galaxy.
* JustifiedCriminal: He only steals food because he's an orphan child, and he doesn't want him and his fellow orphans to go to bed hungry. He also lives in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, so going to food banks and charity organizations isn't an option.

* RedIsHeroic: All his costumes have some form of red on them.

* ChildrenAreInnocent: Absolutely none of them are prepared for war, thus resulting in Earl having to train Kento and Danji as pilots, while Manabu helps construct weaponry at the base and Sanae and Ochame help keep it clean. Later on, Manabu invents a mechanical turtle for Jiro and Ochame to travel around in and aid Kento, with Hata occasionally joining them.

* CantTakeCritiscm: To everyone, but especially towards Earl. He views Earl's attempts to teach him as "criticism" and even runs away from the base because he can't stand to hear him, though he comes back in time to fight the MonsterOfTheWeek.

* UngratefulTownsfolk: Averted. The townspeople thank him in the form of food and other gifts for keeping them safe.

* KidHero: All of them, even Kento. He may be 15, but he acts as if he's younger, much to Sanae, Danji and Earl's annoyance.

* KidHero: Manabu is 12, but restored a city from ruin using his genius and also invented Gamelot.

* KidHero: He is 9.

* KidHero: Ochame and Jiro travel in Gamelot, which is occasionally co-piloted by Tanosuke, and help Daltanious in battle. She is also canonically 8.

** In the first episode, Sanae tells him off for stealing and says he should work honestly and get a real job instead. She has no response when Kento replies that honesty won't fill their stomachs.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: (See GoodIsNotNice below) Let it be known that even if Kento can be a selfish, feisty, attention-seeking little runt, he genuinely cares about people and struggles with his own demons (particularly ParentalAbandonment, YouKilledMyFather). Yes, he is an unpleasant at times, but there isn't a single person he's met who's life hasn't improved since meeting him, and he'll sacrifice his own happiness if it means peace for the entire galaxy.
* GoodIsNotNice: Kento is prone to insulting people if they suggest anything that could be read as a personal attack on his ego, and lets the fame of being the Daltanious pilot go to his head.

* TheLeader: Of the RagtagBunchOfMisfits, alongside Sanae.

* RedOniBlueOni: Kento is implusive and emotional while Danji is more calm and calculating.

* RedOniBlueOni: While Kento is quick to act on instinct, Danji approaches situations with a calm head.

* AfricaIsACountry: According to Earl, Beralios and Meralios were brought "from Africa" to Helios at the behest of the Emperor.

* HotBloodedSideburns: Kento and Danji are aggressive in their own waysm and have these. Kento's are thick and prominent when he's in action, while Danji's are hidden, and his PeekABangs are more prominent.

An orphan girl who, like Jiro and Manabu, was adopted by Sanae and lives under her care.

* DisappearedDad: Kento's father, Hayato, was a sailor. When he was four, Hayato went missing while he was on one of his regular sea expeditions. [[spoiler: By the time he returns, three-fifths of his family[[note]]Kimiyo, Kazuto and his daughter[[/note]] have already died, leaving Kento as the SoleSurvivor.]]

* DrivenToSuicide: After facing humiliating defeat at the hands of Kloppen, Kento starts hearing voices in his head of his deceased mother and sister, telling him to join them. At one point he even hears ''Sanae's'' voice tell him to pull the trigger on himself. He shoots himself, but misses, and then decides that it isn't worth it to die and he has to continue living.

** While he's often rude to Earl, he's also a fifteen year old boy, and for Earl to put the burden of piloting a SuperRobot on a child is ridiculous.
** He often calls out Earl's LackOfEmpathy, being particularly angered when Earl displays a lack of care for small children like Ochame and Jiro.

* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler: His father, Hayato Tate, is actually Prince Harlin of the Helios Empire, while his mother, Kimiyo, was a human. This makes his sister one too, but sadly, when the Zaal invaded, she was hit by falling debris and died.]]

* TheHero: Not a very virtuous one.
* HotBlooded: The dim-witted kind. He is always up for a fight, prone to overreacting to criticsm and the children's well-meaning-but-rough TeamDad.
* IdiotHero: He often writes off helpful advice and acts on his impulses. He's also prone to moments of selfishness and acts on his own interests rather than what's helpful for humanity as a whole.

* FlyingBrick: Atlaus, Gunper and Beralios are essentially glorified tanks that happen to have flying, BeamSpam abilities. Daltanious itself is a

* GadgeteerGenius: Did you know he contributed to the city's recovery by opening a windmill power plant and created a system that helped restore light to it? No? Well, now you do.

* BettyAndVeronica: Sanae is the innocent, child-like Betty to Catine's brazen and adventurous Veronica. However, none of them end up with Kento.
