Baleful Polymorph was renamed per TRS. Also some other cleanup


* BalefulPolymorph: He and the rest of his village are humans who were forcibly turned into bird-people by Doakudar. He's mainly working for him in order to undo that. Himiko personally thinks his bird form is cooler than his human one.
** [[spoiler:He turns back human after regaining his life in ''Wataru 1'', but then got turned back to his bird form during his stay at the Fourth Star in ''Wataru 2''. Empress Seiryuhi offered to turn him back human by the end of the series, but he declined the offer, explaining his willingness to stay a bird a little bit longer for the sake of keeping [[MoralityPet Himiko]] happy.]]
* BecomingTheMask / HeelFaceTurn: Kurama took on the job as an agent for Doakudar for one, being forced, and two, solely for his own benefit to turn back human without considering his fellow townsmen. As he befriends Team Wataru and slowly understood their genuine friendship with him, he became intensely remorseful; eventually learns to put his benefits behind and aid Team Wataru to atone for his misdeeds.

!!Umihiko
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/10_46.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/UraraTakano
-> '''Mashin:''' Gekimaru (Summer Demon-maru)
->'''[[EleventhHourSuperpower 11th-hour Upgrade]]:''' Shin (True) Gekimaru

A boy born from The Fourth Star of Seikaizan who joins Team Wataru through the journey of ''Wataru 2.''

In order to unseal his father from a container made from Dowarudar's evil force, Umihiko is out to collect the spirits of the Mashins controlled by the bosses of each stellar province. Along the way, in order to make himself stronger in combat, he sets his eyes on Wataru's sword for possession, and started tracking down Team Wataru since they set foot on the First Star.
----
* CharacterDevelopment: One of the forerunners of the {{Tsundere}} archetype during the period where anime characters were created through exploring the "[[Characters/DragonBallVegeta Vegeta]] {{Expy}}." Umihiko was introduced more as a mysterious kid who shares a common goal with TheHero, but who only wants to [[DungeonCrawling venture through the journey]] [[AloofAlly his own way without asking for help.]] The more he attempts to move on alone, the more frustrated he becomes. As [[AllLovingHero Wataru]], [[MentorArchetype Kurama]], and [[TheRival Toraoh]] slowly influence him, he becomes more willing to befriend the group, socialize, learn to speak up his thoughts and feelings, [[ThePowerOfTrust trust his friends]], and grow into a cordial young man.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Himiko initially would call him by either "Yamabiko", or "Yamahiko." Elevating his name to a whole other plane.[[note]]His name starts with the kanji for "Sea (Umi)", but Himiko calls him by "Mountain (Yama)."[[/note]] But after seeing Umihiko a couple of times and warms up to him, Himiko settles with, "[[AffectionateNickname Hiko-chan]]."
* ShounenHair: Umihiko holds the most voluminous of hairstyles of the entire franchise to the point where he can put [[AfroAsskicker afros]] to shame; he even has to "tie up" a thick lock located in front of his face to get them out of the way.

----
* AnimateInanimateObject: [[spoiler: His true identity is a wooden toy figure of Shoryushi's that was deliberately brought to life by Toraoh through inserting his "[[ThePowerOfLove Soul of Love]]," and was sent as a messenger on behalf of the royal family to protect Wataru]].
* BecomeARealBoy: [[spoiler: After performing his HeroicSacrifice and revived with his own sense of heart, Seiju used his PowerOfLove to love Doruku for who she is, and worked hard to aid Wataru in defeating Ankokudar with just his soul. As his soul went back to his supposedly wooden body after the end of the battle, his body evolved into real human flesh]].
* {{Expy}}: Of [[spoiler: [[Literature/TheAdventuresOfPinocchio Pinocchio]]]].
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Due to being a soul fragment of Toraoh and understanding Toraoh cannot continue his life without ThePowerOfLove, Seiju forced his soul to merge back to Toraoh]].
* LoveImbuesLife: [[spoiler: Seiju's first "death" triggers the [[PowerOfLove affection]] from Doruku, making him alive again]].
* WalkingSpoiler: Due to his close relationship with Toraoh and Shoryushi, hiding his trope examples becomes inevitable.

A fourth-grader who is brought over to Soukaizan in order to become its savior, and is the title protagonist of the series.
----
* AllLovingHero: Wataru's a boy who genuinely loves all the people who he befriends. [[spoiler: Which makes every moment of friendship betrayal towards him [[BreakTheCutie very tough to watch]]]].
* BadassCape / BlingOfWar: Wataru will wear variants of these from Ryujinmaru's various [[SuperMode super modes]].
* TheChosenOne: He was chosen to become the savior of Soukaizan.
* GotMeDoingIt: Some of Himiko's wacky nicknames for people would grow on Wataru. Particularly, "Yamahiko."
* JumpedAtTheCall: In the first series. The second series, however, has him a little more reluctant to go since for one, he was back home for only ''one week '' from his journey in the first series, and two, he wasn't aware Soukaizan [[YearInsideHourOutside ticks their clocks faster than his world's]], and a big part of it is due to Ryujinmaru not having the awareness to explain it to him.
* LovableJock: Wataru is an academically average kid whose talents lie in sports. One of the reasons the Dragon God chose Wataru to be their world's savior was by checking the amount of awards he received from sports competitions that was laid out in his bedroom.
* KidHero: An elementary school student in all series.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: He can easily pass as an extremely adorable girl when under disguise in ''W1'' ep.28; complete with natural ProperLady gestures.
** He crossdressed as a Main/{{Geisha}} in ''W2'' ep.16.

-> '''Mashin:''' Genjinmaru (Mystic God-maru) [W1, Co-Pilot], Moo-Moo-maru [W2, her own personal, compact, mini-mini sized Cow Mashin-sorta unit.]

The 13th successor of the Shinobibe clan with a seemingly endless amount of energy, she joins Wataru on his journey starting from the 1st floor of Soukaizan since the original series.
----
* BagOfHolding: Predominately used in ''Wataru 2,'' Himiko has one with her at all times. Keeping all of her utilities, weapons, food, medicine, her favorite toys, and all kinds of bizarre stuff in her small pouch.
* BigEater: The food vacuum cleaner of the entire team. She can down all ginormous foods in front of her in less than an eye-blink.
* CatchPhrase: "Banzai! Banzai!" through the first series. By the second series, she decreases the "banzai" usage in favor of a new sentence--"(Insert name here), you're so awesome! (Insert name here)'s Number 1!"
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the first series, Himiko was just your regular, good-looking GenkiGirl, but as the second series rolled in, her character ''really'' vamped up by setting her free from her "bishoujo-styled line art", and redesigned her with looser animation so that she can be much more creatively expressive. And [[WackyGuy wacked]] up she did!
* ChildrenAreInnocent: The reason why she can bend heaven and hell to any direction as she pleases using ''[[GenkiGirl just her personality and pure energy]]'' is really because she literally doesn't know what “logic” is, and ''[[AchievementsInIgnorance doesn’t even care how logic should work.]]''
* CuddleBug: Himiko loves to jump on her friends whom she hasn't seen for a long time. [[AllLovingHero Every one of them]].
* EyesAlwaysShut: Himiko's predominate trait that was [[CharacterizationMarchesOn developed, and solidified]] since ''Wataru 2.''
* GenkiGirl / PluckyGirl: She's basically a girl installed with one hell of a battery pack that never runs out of juice. And when the situation calls for it, she will not hesitate in pulling moments of BigDamnHeroes in her usual hyper smile, [[spoiler: or [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness with a sure damn serious face]]]].
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: [[spoiler: Of Toraoh]].
* MediumAwareness: Himiko is keen on their world's StrictlyFormula system and [[CombatPragmatist uses them to her absolute advantage.]]
** When competing ninjutsus with Chuta Oniwaban of Seikaizan, Chuta shows off by transforming himself into a cool dragon, but then Himiko one ups him by transforming herself as Ryujinmaru, and forced smack Chuta as "the background dragon of Ryujinmaru;" you know, the dragon in all of Ryujinmaru's DynamicEntry sequences.
* MoralityPet: [[spoiler: Of Kurama]].
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Being a ChildProdigy kunoichi gives her the all-time advantage of pulling off all kinds ninjutsus that will blow your sense of logic away; and was made even better with [[OfficialFanSubmittedContent official submitted ideas from children viewers]].
* TheNicknamer: Himiko is the girl who gives everyone she meets all sorts of wacky names, mainly for herself to remember by.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Due to being an extremely GenkiGirl, [[PerpetualSmiler she never loses her smile]], even when she should be scared.
** Therefore, do not ever, ever, bully her friends, or she will give you her [[TranquilFury serious face]]. And just her serious face alone would bring guilt to all who has a heart.
** [[spoiler:Kurama and Toraoh's death were the only times she cried in the first series, with Toraoh's case being the only time she showed ''furious anger''.]]
** [[spoiler: For her HiddenPurposeTest in the middle of ''Wataru 2,'' she broke down in tears after realizing she’s all alone. For her test, she has to understand that [[PerpetualSmiler the things she felt to be “fun” will not give her long-term happiness,]] but to learn to appreciate she has family and friends who will be there to comfort her if she's ever sad, and will provide the love to make her truly happy. [[MyFutureSelfAndMe And it's her future self that teaches her that.]]]]
* PerpetualSmiler: The reason why she's so full of energy, and always looking for fun, is that she likes it when people compliments her for indulging herself with the things that she likes to do.
* PokemonSpeak: Before ''Pokemon'' was ever born, Himiko has already used this as a spell to summon whatever ninjitsu she has:
-->'''"Himikomikomiko Himikomiko!"''' ([[LoveBubbles Flying flowers and stars included.]])
* SpeaksFluentAnimal
* TooKinkyToTorture: Let's just boil them all down in saying Himiko "honestly believe she was having play time with her so-called, enemies." And by "enemies," [[ChildrenAreInnocent she calls them]] "[[AllLovingHero friends]]."
* YoungAndInCharge: She is a 7-year-old kunoichi who is appointed as the 13th generation leader of her clan.

A MasterSwordsman of ''Yagyu Shibaraku'' style whom Wataru encountered on the 1st floor of Soukaizan since the original series, he decides to take the boy in as his student, accompanying him on his journey.
----
* AffectionateNickname: Between him and his Mashin, he calls Senjinmaru as "Sen-chan," while himself as "Shiba-chan."
* ArtShift: Whenever Shibaraku wants to get romantically serious, whether it’s to impress women or to fulfill a philosophy, he’ll turn his face as {{Hunk}} as he can get.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: In the middle of ''Wataru 2,'' Shibaraku went out to protect Wataru by [[TakingTheBullet taking a brain-washing arrow]] and became one of Dowarudar's strongest subordinates through the final arcs]].

* RunningGag: Shibaraku can only summon his Mashin, Senjinmaru by a giving it a [[PayPhone paid]] [[WhoYouGonnaCall call]] from the nearest local PhoneBooth he could find. Which is a real pain-in-the-ass. On bad days, Senjinmaru couldn't pickup the phone in time; worse, [[SickEpisode Senjinmaru can call sick]] and would arrive extremely late with [[OneHitPointWonder only a few HP to survive]].
** Another one is how he's frequently mistaken for a hippo.
* TheWorfEffect: Him and Senjinmaru are overwhelmed almost all the time to show off the power of the opponents.

[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/07_25.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:200:'''[--Top: Toraoh / Bottom: Shoryushi--]''']]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KazueIkura
-> '''Mashin:''' Jyakomaru (Evil Tiger-maru)

----
[-'''WARNING: The following two characters are [[WalkingSpoiler walking spoilers]] who holds major plot points throughout the entire trilogy that cannot be marked. If you were to watch the show, you are bound to get spoiled by reading the contents in this folder.'''-]
----

Introduced as the son of the Emperor of Evil, Doakudar, Toraoh is one of the major antagonists from the first series who desires to make Himiko his bride and forms a rivalry with Wataru. By the finale of ''Wataru,'' Toraoh was purified, revealing his true identity to be of Shoryushi, the Prince of Soukaizan and son of Empress Seiryuhi.

Due to Toraoh being the product of a forced SplitPersonality spell, the personalities and appearances between Shoryushi and Toraoh cannot be merged together.
----
* AffectionateNickname: Himiko calls Toraoh as either "Tora" or "Tora-chan", and Shoryushi as "Shu-chan."
* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: Shoryushi doesn't have any recollections while he was transformed into Toraoh, even when he regained his identity and understood he now has an alternate personality, he doesn't remember he has a Mashin named Jyakomaru, nor wouldn't know the actions of what his Toraoh side would do. Toraoh on the other hand, is aware of his surroundings and his identity as Shoryushi even when Shoryushi is dominate.
** By the end of ''Wataru 2,'' Shoryushi gains the memories of Toraoh, and affirms to Wataru that no matter if he's Toraoh or Shoryushi, their friendship with Wataru will never break.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: [[spoiler: Before the final battle of ''Super,'' Empress Seiryuhi used her remaining life energy to separate the personalities of Toraoh and Shoryushi into individual spirits and gave them their own flesh; making them [[IdenticalTwinIDTag twins]]. After Seiryuhi's death, the two princes [[AwesomeMomentOfCrowning co-ruled Soukaizan together]]]].
* {{Shapeshifting}}: Of a voluntarily, yet restricted transformation format. If Shoryushi sensed danger involving Team Wataru or Jyakomaru, he would unconsciously [[ShapeShifting force transform]] to Toraoh without Toraoh's knowledge. Toraoh on the other hand, doesn't know how to transform back to Shoryushi. Once Toraoh accomplishes his mission, he would gladly go back to his mother to help him transform back into Shoryushi.
* SplitPersonalityTeam: The two personalities acknowledges each other and knows how to work their daily routines if they ever switched in-and-out, but they don't get to talk between themselves internally. [[spoiler: Until the finale of ''Super'']].
** [[spoiler: Shoryushi is known to share his toy figure, Seiju with Toraoh by switching their personalities around. When Toraoh was dominate, Toraoh was the one who gave Seiju a makeover by dressing Seiju up complete with clothes, hairstyle, and carved a moon on it's forehead since Seiju was originally just a plain wood figure]].

!!'''Toraoh'''
* AffablyEvil: As he was introduced through ''W1,'' Toraoh was noticeably not a bad kid; just a mischievous boy who doesn't want to follow anything his dad or subordinate wanted him to do, wants to have fun, and who ''really'' wanted to possess Himiko.
* AmazonChaser: He instantly want to possess Himiko as his wife the moment when he realized Himiko can [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomp]] him.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Since being revealed to be Shoryushi at the end of the first installment. This indicated Doakudar was merely brainwashing him into thinking he was his son.
** [[spoiler: Toraoh was brainwashed by the hands of antagonists once again in ''Super,'' due to injecting his "[[PowerOfLove soul fragment of love]]" to make Seiju alive, and thus lost his sense of purpose in life]].
* CuteLittleFangs: Will show them off depending on how he wears his smile.
* RedemptionEarnsLife: [[spoiler:In his dying moments, he reaffirms Wataru's status as his friend, followed by his mother bringing him back to life with his true identity.]]
* TheRival: Towards Wataru for the first series mainly on his end of the stick due to [[GreenEyedMonster misunderstanding]] Wataru's relationship with Himiko.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: After finding out that Wataru is trying to defeat his father, he declares that only he is allowed to defeat Wataru.
* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler: Empress Seiryuhi lost her life at the finale of ''Super.'' Toraoh in particular [[HeartbrokenBadass does not take it well]], for Toraoh has longed for parental affection, [[WarriorPrince but does not have the luxury to do so]] given his circumstance]].
* WarriorPrince: When it comes to which personality to take up his sword to defend his kingdom, it'll naturally goes to Toraoh. Toraoh himself couldn't agree better, [[spoiler: as he rejected Shoryushi's offer to battle alongside him for the finale of ''Super,'' and asked Shoryushi to stay by their mother's side to protect her instead.]]
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Toraoh was born without the concept of love, the meaning of friendship, and social etiquette. So whenever Wataru performs something that show love and humanity, such as apologizing for wrong doings, and making amends, etc, Toraoh would question him like a little child would do.

!!'''Shoryushi'''
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Shoryushi would abide by his mother's wishes to go down to the public to aid Team Wataru and solve problems with local citizens, even in locations that are not under his kingdom's rule.
* TheWisePrince: Collected, benevolent, brave, nurturing, and kind. He is willing to go to the front lines to aid Team Wataru.
