[[folder:Juda Corporation]]

! Koichi Hayase

->Voiced by: TetsuyaKakihara (Japanese) and JoshGrelle (English)

TheHero of the story, a bullied 14-year old kid who becomes Linebarrel's Factor.
[[hardline]]
* AccidentalPervert
* {{Badass}}: '''ESPECIALLY''' after CharacterDevelopment.
* BreakTheHaughty: And boy, does he get broken. Hard.
* ButtMonkey
* CannotSpitItOut: His feelings for Emi
* CluelessChickMagnet: The guy has four beautiful girls all after him... and yet, he only appears to be romantically interested in Emi.
* DeclarationOfProtection: Towards Emi, mostly. But despite not noticing the other girls' crushes, he's still quite protective towards all of them.
* FirstEpisodeResurrection: In the anime.
* HeroesPreferSwords: The main weapons of Linebarrel being [[DualWielding two]] [[KatanasAreJustBetter Katanas]].
* HotBlooded
* IdiotHero
* {{Jerkass}}: Before CharacterDevelopment (though with touches of JerkassWoobie)
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: After CharacterDevelopment
* JumpedAtTheCall: Deconstructed. His behaviour in his first battles caused lots of property damage, as he lashes out towards anyone.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent
* ShutUpHannibal: To Kato [[spoiler:and, in the anime, to Masaki]].
* UnskilledButStrong: For the most part he just uses Linebarrel's extreme power to win. Although he can hardly be called a poor fighter, compared to Reiji's skillful swordsman ship he basically just wacks people with his swords as hard as he can and can't really use the Executor as anything other than a wide area single shot blast. He pretty much could not beat [[spoiler:Reiji]] straight up, without using modes B and C to overpower him.
* UnstoppableRage: In response to [[spoiler:Yajima's death]]. And, towards the end of the anime, in response to [[spoiler:Emi's]].
* WhatTheHellHero: He receives quite a lot of these, especially at first.

* CannotSpitItOut
* CatchPhrase: "You're the worst!" / "You make me sick!"
* ChainsawGood: Episode 6, though it's PlayedForLaughs
* ClingyJealousGirl: She's just as clingy and jealous as Risako. She just does a (slightly) better job at hiding it.
* CuteClumsyGirl: In the first few episodes.
* FishOutOfWater: "What's a Christmas party?"
** However in the Manga, she's aware of things like that, due to [[spoiler:Living in this era longer]]
* ItsAllMyFault: Mostly in Episode 15, as she thinks that it's her fault if [[spoiler:Juda has been scattered and people are dying to protect her.]]
* NakedOnArrival: Only in the anime.

* TheStoic
* StoicSpectacles
* TallDarkAndSnarky
