** Fenbren the orichalcum bishop is introduced as a formidable opponent like the other 4 orichalcum guards, and shows a good first impression of his power against Dai's group. However in his next two appearances he's first easily subdued by Baran and then in his rematch against the Dragon Knight in the entrance to Vearn's citadel he's easily cut in two and killed by Dai as soon as the fight started, ending in a rather anticlimatic fight.



** The same cannot be said for the orichalcum king, Maximum. Though hyped as the strongest guardian from Vearn's Palace, true to the actual king chess piece, he turns out to be another DirtyCoward antagonist whose main strategy is sending other orichalcum pieces against weakened opponents, with his abilities mainly centering in analyzing foes to check their status and weaknesses, only gaining advantage against a wounded Hyunckel cause he used Hym as a hostage to force Hyunckel to save him (after he previously destroyed his strongest pieces despite being close to collapsing from his battle with Hym). [[spoiler:When a revived and recovered Larhart shows to save Hyunckel and Hym, he quickly makes quick work of Maximum, not even giving him the chance to escape for another battle.]] It tells something when Zaboera of all people manages to be a more competent antagonist than him.

** Galdandy and Borahorn are dispatched pretty quickly despite being said to be as strong as the generals from the Dark Army. The former is crippled by Hyunckel instantly and later loses to a weakened Popp of a single attack after being blasted with a point-blank Boom, while the latter is utterly reduced by Hyunckel without giving him any trouble at all, only gaining an edge against him later when he takes Popp hostage after Hyunckel defeats Larhart.
