[[folder:Thymilph the Raging Wave/the Crasher]]

->Voiced by: Creator/KiyoyukiYanada (JP), Creator/PaulStPeter (EN)

* AFatherToHisMen:
** Was genuinely worried when Viral was sent flying.
** [[https://pp.vk.me/c614830/v614830493/a3b2/zklL7m1S-O4.jpg This image from one of the artbooks]] also suggests that Thymilph was this type of leader.

* EmergingFromTheShadows: His formal introduction.

[[folder:Adiane the Elegant]]

->Voiced by: Creator/MichikoNeya (JP), Creator/MeganHollingshead (EN)

** And effortlessly blocks all of Yoko's shots in the first movie.

* DarkActionGirl: A very violent one.

* MakingASplash: The General of Water.
** According to Parallel Works ''Kittan Zero'', Adiane actually has the unexplained ability to create obscene amounts of water out of thin air. That would explain the terrestrial locomotion of her Dai-Gunkai.

* PsychoForHire: A little unstable.
* RankScalesWithAsskicking: Beats down the entire brigade, ''on land''!
* ScaryScorpions: A tail, to be more exact.

* UngratefulBastard: Viral puts himself in harm's way to save her. She thanks him by beating him bloody. This is apparently par for the course for the Four Generals.
* UnholyMatrimony: With Thymilph.

[[folder:Guame the Immovable]]

%%* OracularHead

-> Voiced by: Takaya Kamikawa (JP), Dave Mallow (EN, series), Creator/CrispinFreeman (EN, compilation movies)

The ultimate BigBad of the series. This bizarre being appears to be the embodiment of the collective mind and will of the Anti-Spiral race. As he resides in AnotherDimension created by the Anti-Spirals, he has near-infinite levels of power, up to and including manipulation of the very laws of nature.

** Adiane angrily declares she was sleeping with Thymilph to manipulate him. [[spoiler:But when she dies, she seems genuinely sad she didn't avenge him. Not the response of a manipulator.]]
** In the manga, as she is [[spoiler:about to die, she sees an apparition of Thymilph. She smiles, and the two hold hands until she's killed.]]

* DirtyOldMan: A highly disturbing one at the too. His actions with Nia are especially telling. He gropes Nia, feeling her up and offers to spare her life in exchange for sex. He slobbers when he laughs.

* NighInvulnerable: His battleship [[spoiler:survived a crash with Cytomander's and came out unscathed.]]

* RoyalHarem: One of the many ways he passes the time is having sex with his personal harem made of young girls kidnapped and trained for servitude in Beauty Village and sent by Guame. From these concubines, Lordgenome has spawned countless children (Nia included) that he raises and later discards on a whim. The concubines also act as a BattleHarem by becoming drills for his Lazengann.

* DropTheHammer: His personal side arm.

* EvilKnockoff: [[spoiler:In response to the heroes' advance, he creates a twisted version of their own mecha, and even fights using drills during the climax. In the second movie, this includes his own version of the Giga Drill Breaker.]]

-> Voiced by: Takaya Kamikawa (JP), Dave Mallow (EN)

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Intuitively, one would think "Lord Genome" is two words with the former being a title, but officially his name is romanized as one word ("Lordgenome") which is all part of his name.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: More powerful than grunts and Viral, he's the best at his introduction.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Beats down the entire brigade, ''on land''!

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: And don't you forget it! There's a reason all the militant beastmen obey him without question.

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He doesn't look like it, but he's at over 1,000 years old.

* {{Bishonen}}: He's very pretty.

* RatedMForManly: Probably the manliest of all the characters, and [[WorldOfBadass that is really saying something]]. Just an "M" might not even cut it.
** To put it simply: He pilots a jet black mecha, [[spoiler:which is weaker than him]]. [[spoiler:He considers using it ''holding back'']]. His idea of [[spoiler:hacking is running through cyberspace and bashing boxes with his head]]. He [[spoiler:''eats an attack with the power of '''the Big Bang''' and uses it to turn into a drill'']].

* DarkChick: The most unstable of the four, she prefers to run into combat by herself, leaving her ship behind.

* BladeOnAStick: His Gunmen's weapon.

* BadassBaritone: He has a very deep voice, especially in the dub, and is a very powerful fighter.
