4	!!The Go-Getters Club
5	A group of kids who found themselves participants in the Game of Fate.
6	----
7	[[folder:In General]]
8	* AndroidsArePeopleToo: Reycho, Pochi and Yuki are revealed to be androids, with the latter two being sentient individuals and the former being a remote-controlled robot. Despite this, the other members still consider them friends and part of the group. This allows Reycho to become self-aware and genuinely loyal to the group.
9	* AnimalMotifTeam: Each member represents one of the animals of the EasternZodiac.
10	* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Despite knowing the importance of getting to Tokyo together and fast, they constantly behave like they are on an actual tourist trip, argue which local attraction they should visit next and get distracted with anything interesting they spot.
11	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: With the exception of Reycho, Pochi and Vanilla, the club is brainwashed when they start the Game of Fate, being extremely antagonistic and even aggressive towards each other and willing to betray each other to try to complete their Tasks. They're broken out of it by the time the Game is up, though. MAIK later reveals that this state was a side-effect of the surgery that allowed their powers to awaken.
12	** Additionally, half the group - Kansai, Chuko, Tattsun, Mowchan and Pai - are hypnotized by the Master when they stay behind with the cult in Ehime, requiring the other half of the group to rescue and deprogram them.
13	* CharacterDevelopment: They all resolve their personal issues during the journey, which is mostly how they awaken their Buddy Skills.
14	* DieOrFly: Each member awakens their Buddy Skill in response to them rescuing someone from danger. It's revealed that it was invoked by MAIK, who wanted them to become humanity's "Shepherds".
15	* FriendshipSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7acIdcOPG9s The Go-Getters Club Theme Song]] is known by every member of the club, so when one member starts singing, the other members soon follow, showing just how strong their bond is. This song is what also allows Reycho to become self-aware.
16	* GenderEqualEnsemble: The club (counting Yuki who joins later on) consists of 6 boys and 6 girls.
17	* HeroWithAUniqueName: All of them, though they are all technically nicknames.
18	* LetsSplitUpGang: Multiple times they split exactly in half because of disagreements on what to do next.
19	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: WordOfGod says that all the kids' names are actually nicknames, explaining some of the more unusual or on-the-nose ones. We never learn most of the kids' real names, with the exceptions being Reycho and Pochi.
20	* PersonalityPowers: Some of the Buddy Skills seemed to fit with their user's personality. Chuko's FireBreathingDiner represents her hot-headed personality, Nyoro's GadgeteerGenius represents her intelligence, Pai's BarrierWarrior represents her kind-hearted and protective personality, Kansai's BatterUp represents his dream of baseball, etc.
21	* ThePowerOfFriendship: MAIK describes Buddy Skills as a form of awakened altruism.
22	* TrueCompanions: The club may get into disagreements at times, but they always have each other's backs no matter what. Even learning the true nature of Reycho, Pochi and Yuki does nothing to turn them away, although in Pochi's case, it took some convincing.

25	[[folder:Reycho]]
26	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/worlds_end_club_reycho_render.png]]
27	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
28	-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/ReinaUeda (Japanese), Creator/MargaretMcDonald (English)
29	-->'''Buddy Skill:''' Big League Pitcher- He can lift heavy objects and throw things extremely hard
30	The protagonist and player character, as well as the unofficial leader of the Go-Getters Club. An optimistic, pure and innocent child, he's known for his physical ability and isn't afraid to charge headfirst into a situation for his friends. However, he's completely oblivious when it comes to girls.
31	----
32	* AnimalMotifs: Represents the Monkey in the EasternZodiac, as shown by the baboon butt accessory at the back of his shorts, and by his name being short for reichourui (primate).
33	* BestFriend: Out of the others, he's this with Pochi. The two even share a FistBump in the manga.
34	* BlackBeadEyes: One of his sprites has him with this expression.
35	* DecoyProtagonist: He was an avatar to the real protagonist, Pochi.
36	* HeroicMime: He's completely silent. WordOfGod says this is to replicate video games of the time period like ''Franchise/DragonQuest'', which were often characterized by silent protagonists. In truth, it's because he's just a robot with no AI that is controlled by Pochi. Averts this in the ending after awakening emotions.
37	* HeroicSacrifice: Twice. First by bringing down a massive ship, which destroyed him and revealed that he was a machine. The second when he's rebuilt as an obstacle, only to [[GrewBeyondTheirProgramming gain emotions]] and then destroy MAIK's container. He survives and even gains the ability to speak.
38	* FunWithAcronyms: The capital letters in Reycho's model number, RCH-e10, stand for "Radio Controlled Humanoid". The lowercase "e" stands for "experimental".
39	* GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: Despite lacking an AI like Pochi did, Reycho still awakens to his emotion after being sung to by the Go-Getters, [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificing himself]] to destroy MAIK's container. It turns out to not have killed him, and the ending reveals that he can talk as well.
40	* TheLeader: Of the Go-Getters Club once Kansai gives up his spot. In turn, this role is inherited by Pochi once Reycho's true identity as a robot is revealed.
41	* NewTransferStudent: Is the newest member of the Go-Getters Club (at least until Yuki joins them midway through the game), transferring to their school a few months earlier.
42	* PlayerCharacter: Reycho serves as the main playable character for the Game of Fate and the visual-novel segments of the game. In a sense, he's also this ''to Pochi'', as Pochi controlled him for most of the game.
43	* RoboticReveal: The first Go-Getter revealed as a robot. He's a remote-controlled puppet controlled by Pochi.
44	* TheSpeechless: It's brought up a few times that Reycho has never talked at all and has always been mute. He finally speaks after gaining sentience during the ending.
45	* SignificantAnagram: His name is a close anagram of his model designation, RCH-e10. In non-Japanese languages it's less obvious than Pochi, because the 1 is replaced with a Y instead of an I.
46	* SuperStrength: His Buddy Skill power allows him to lift and throw heavy objects. Being a robot may also help in that regard.
47	[[/folder]]

49	[[folder:Vanilla]]
50	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/worlds_end_club_vanilla_render.png]]
51	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
52	-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/AiKayano (Japanese), Creator/AmandaLee (English)
53	-->'''Buddy Skill:''' Ultra Soul- She can project her consciousness as a "ghost"
54	The main heroine. A rather eccentric and scatterbrained girl, she has a habit of saying things with a lack of self-awareness, which makes the class ignore her. Despite that, she is actually very perceptive and quick to realize that the game has a deeper nature than the others will admit.
55	----
56	* AnimalMotifs: Represents the Rabbit in the EasternZodiac, as shown by the Vani part of her name being [[JapaneseRanguage alternative romanized]] as "bunny".
57	* AstralProjection: Her Buddy Skill allows her to project an image of her body. This is what Reycho, Pai and Pochi saw up until the truth of her death was revealed.
58	* BreakTheCutie: Her "death" has taken quite a toll on her, as she's still conscious but can't interact with most of the club.
59	* BookDumb: Her comments on the official Twitter indicate she's a terrible student.
60	* BunnyEarsLawyer: She may be energetic, ditzy, and eccentric, but Vanilla truly is the genius programmer she claims to be.
61	* CheerfulChild: Big time.
62	* ChildProdigy: When it comes to programming, anyway.
63	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She's... eccentric, to say the least.
64	* DeadAllAlong: Subverted. The main characters believe she died a year before the events of the game, existing as a ghost only Pai, Reycho and Pochi can see and hear. She was actually captured by MAIK and communicating via her Buddy Skill.
65	* TheDitz: Seemingly. The truth is a tad more complicated.
66	* GenkiGirl: She's incredibly excitable and cheerful.
67	* TheHeart: Even if the Club is not sure if she's alive or not, just bringing her up causes most disagreements in the club to go away (though it also creates some). Once everyone is able to see her, she becomes the emotional support for everyone.
68	* InvisibleToNormals: Only Pai (born in a priest family) and Reycho and Pochi are able to see or hear her without the use of NinetyPercentOfYourBrain-unlocking mushrooms.
69	* TheLostLenore: Following her death, she's this for the Club in general, but for Aniki most of all. They all miss her terribly, and are positively ecstatic when eating the Hyper Amygdaclear Minestrone lets them see and talk to her again.
70	* {{Mascot}}: Not only was she along with Reycho the first characters revealed for the game, but she's the one handling the official Twitter.
71	* MoonRabbit: Her AnimalMotif is the rabbit, and her bag clasp has a crescent-moon-shaped pin.
72	* NotQuiteDead: Her powers awakened before being hit by the truck, which caused her spirit to separate her soul from her own body, which left it comatose instead.
73	* NoSell: She is immune to {{Brainwashing}} in two occasions, hinting that she's not physically present.
74	* OpenTheIris: At least one of her blush sprites has this expression.
75	* RedOniBlueOni: The red oni to Aniki’s blue oni.
76	* SacrificialLamb: Downplayed, as her "death" happened ''before'' the game started, and the real Vanilla survives.
77	* ShoutOut: Her Buddy Skill name is one to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ujb-ZeX7Mo8 Ultra Soul]].
78	* SmarterThanYouLook: Despite being a poor student and coming off of little more than a goofball to her peers, she's much sharper than she appears. Her programming skills come in handy when creating Pielope, and later when hacking into MAIK's mainframe.
79	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Marshmallows. Probably because the most common flavor of marshmallow is vanilla. Her task in the Game of Fate is to eat a marshmallow, and going off to get marshmallows for the barbecue was what led her to get hit by the truck.

81
82	[[folder:Pochi]]
83	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/worlds_end_club_pochi_render.png]]
84	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
85	-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/MegumiOgata (Japanese), Kalin Coates (English)
86	-->'''Buddy Skill:''' Communicator- He can hear and speak to an Outworlder
87	A cowardly and frail introvert who spends most of his time playing video games. Passive and submissive to a fault, most of his interactions with others devolves into him muttering. Reycho is the sole person he can interact with normally.
88	----
89	* TenMinuteRetirement: Once the Club learns he was TheMole, Pochi runs away from them. He returns in the next level (set a few days later) to protect them from MAIK's forces.
90	* AddressingThePlayer: His Buddy Skill directly involves this.
91	* AnimalMotifs: Represents the Dog in the EasternZodiac, as shown by him having a generic name (a Japanese equivalent to Fido or Rover, for example) and his gameplay sections involving him getting pulled by a collar.
92	* BecomingTheMask: He started off as TheMole for MAIK, but quickly bonded with the Go-Getters and came to decide he should help them instead.
93	* DefiantCaptive: When one of MAIK's robots offers Pochi the chance to return to MAIK's services in return for being spared, Pochi not only rejects it, but outright tells the robot that the only thing he regrets is not being able to defeat MAIK with his friends.
94	* DudeWheresMyRespect: Since Reycho became the leader of Go-Getters Club because of his ChronicHeroSyndrome, Pochi gets some flack for not being very proactive despite also having his share of achivements. Later they learn that Reycho was controlled by Pochi and treat him alike.
95	* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Downplayed in that Pochi doesn't cut or deliberately change his hairstyle, but it becomes more disheveled after he fights off some of MAIK's minions and remains that way for the remainder of the game.
96	* FourthWallObserver: His Buddy Skill is the ability to speak to the Otherworlder, also known as ''the player of the game.'' Played with in that Pochi doesn't realize he's in a video game, he just thinks the Otherworlder is a powerful interdimensional being like Niyan does, viewing it more like GodWasMyCopilot.
97	* FunWithAcronyms: The letters in Pochi's model number, PCH-01, stand for "Plenipotentiary Chaperoning Humanoid".
98	* HeroicBSOD: Undergoes a mild one when he is trapped in the Go-Getters Club’s old classroom.
99	* HidingBehindYourBangs: His bangs cover his eyes and are symbolic of his shy and introverted personality; they even become full-blown bangs for certain expressions. Less so after his ExpositoryHairstyleChange, where his eyes are more often visible.
100	* LateToTheRealization: He didn’t exactly realize that “Heaven” was actually a facility place Vanilla was being kept at until the Otherworlder told him about it.
101	* LoveInterest: Nyoro's, much to Mowchan's distress.
102	* MellowFellow: He’s the least energetic and most laid back of the Go-Getters, often outright ignoring everything around him that would distract him from playing his game. He himself seems to wish his friends exhibited this trope more often instead of always disagreeing and getting into fights with each other.
103	* NiceGuy: While mellow and shy, Pochi is definitely one of the kindest members of the Go-Getters Club, helping his friends out at every turn, being polite and courteous to them, and doing his best to prevent conflict between them.
104	* NotSoStoic: He notably shows pure sadness when he is trapped in the Go-Getters Club’s old classroom, as he has hallucinations of everyone angry at him as he [[DespairEventHorizon completely falls into despair.]]
105	* PhoneaholicTeenager: Well, in his case, it's a handheld video game instead of a cell phone on account of this taking place in Japan in the mid-'90s. Anyway, Pochi almost always has his nose stuck in his game and refuses to let anyone else play it or look at it... because it's actually what he uses to control Reycho with.
106	* RoboticReveal: After taking heavy damage from MAIK forces, he's revealed to be made of robotic parts, and is designated as PCH-01 by the robots taking him.
107	* ShrinkingViolet: To the point of struggling to interact with anyone who isn't Reycho. He grows out of it completely by the end of the story.
108	* SignificantAnagram: His name is an anagram of his model designation, PCH-01, replacing numbers with letters.
109	* TheTeamNormal: Up until close to the end of the game, Pochi doesn't manifest any Buddy Skills like the others, as they [[InnocentlyInsensitive rudely point out]]. After his true nature is revealed, this is subverted, as he was actually the ''first'' member (other than Vanilla) to gain his skill.

112	[[folder:Nyoro]]
113	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/worlds_end_club_nyoro_render.png]]
114	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
115	-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/KeiShindou (Japanese), Creator/AllisonSumrall (English)
116	-->'''Buddy Skill:''' Inventor- She can rapidly build bombs, which will travel a short distance before exploding
117	A daughter of a famous scientist who excels in math and science herself. A logical thinker who dislikes irrationality, she is nonetheless considerate and doesn't distance herself from the group. She is into fashion, and is a massive fan of nationally acclaimed artist A●uro-chan.
118	----
119	* AnimalMotifs: Represents the Snake in the EasternZodiac, as shown by her snake tongue-shaped hair bang and by her name being the onomatopoeia for slithering.
120	* AnywhereButTheirLips: She gives Pochi a kiss on the cheeks while giving the Go-Getters badge.
121	* BadassBookworm: States she liked to read a lot when she was younger.
122	* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: The Brain to Pai’s Beauty and Jennu’s Brawn.
123	* BerserkButton: She despises hearing the phrase "give up".
124	* BrainyBrunette: She serves as TheSmartGirl of the group and has light brown hair.
125	* {{CatchPhrase}}: "As the daughter of a scientist..."
126	* ChekhovsGunman: She keeps mentioning his father who's a brilliant scientist in the field of AI. Guess who made MAIK.
127	* CombatStilettos: Her rather high-heeled peep toe boots don't stop her from running as fast as any of the other members of the Club.
128	* {{Determinator}}: She will never, ''ever'' give up. This was a lesson she learned from her scientist father.
129	* DisappearedDad: Her dad went missing before the events of the game. She reunites with him after MAIK's defeat.
130	* DudeMagnet: She's the romantic interest for both Pochi and Mowchan.
131	* TheFashionista: Her hobby's fashion.
132	* GadgeteerGenius: Her Buddy Skill.
133	* GeekyTurnOn: It's implied that one of the contributing factors to her crush on Pochi is his technological prowess.
134	* GenerationXerox: Has the same hairstyle and color as her father.
135	* TheGlassesGottaGo: Flashbacks show she wore glasses when she was seven due to her reading habit. She now wears contact lenses as her vision still is not the best.
136	* HehHehYouSaidX: Her two gadgets are The F-Bomb and the Weeniefier. There's some FunWithAcronyms at play, but Pielope is really tired of them being mentioned.
137	* LoveInterest: Pochi’s and Mowchan's.
138	* MissingMom: Her mother is never mentioned.
139	%% ZCE * TheSmartGuy: Is definitely this.
140	* TheSpock: She is TheStoic of the Club, always rational, and despite all weird stuff going on, [[FlatEarthAtheist ghosts are one thing she refuses to accept.]]

142
143	[[folder:Mowchan]]
144	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/worlds_end_club_mowchan_render.png]]
145	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
146	-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/YukiMatsuoka (Japanese), Creator/JulietSimmons (English)
147	-->'''Buddy Skill:''' Iron Chef- He can turn his body into a metal ball to defend himself or break obstacles
148	A kind-hearted boy who loves food. Gentle, seldom to anger and a bit of a coward, he has a habit of wandering off should he have the promise of food. On top of eating, he is also a dedicated culinary expert and cook, and wastes no opportunity sharing that with the people.
149	----
150	* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Mowchan has a crush on Nyoro, but she only has eyes for Pochi. Whenever Nyoro shows her attraction to Pochi, Mowchan will curl up and turn into iron despressed.
151	* AnimalMotifs: Represents the Ox in the EasternZodiac, as shown with his cow-print shirt and a bell.
152	* BeTheBall: The primary use of his Buddy Skill.
153	* BewareTheSillyOnes: Downplayed as he’s not violent about it, but he tends to cross into this when his friends (especially Nyoro) are endangered. This is apparent when he first unleashes his Buddy Skill.
154	* BigEater: Likes food, talks about food, and only thinks about food before anything else.
155	* DeliciousDistraction: Has trouble concentrating on what to do next if food's involved.
156	* DoggedNiceGuy: Acts this way towards Nyoro.
157	* MadeOfIron: His Buddy Skill allows him to literally turn his body into iron.
158	* NiceGuy: Even in bad situations, he only gets angry when somebody's in danger.
159	* ShoutOut: His Buddy Skill name is one to Series/IronChef.
160	* SupremeChef: A very talented cook.
161	* TroubledFetalPosition: Whenever Nyoro is paying attention to Pochi over him, he uses his Buddy Skill to make this position. Its metallic color also gives the impression of ColorFailure.

164	[[folder:Chuko]]
165	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/worlds_end_club_chuko_render.png]]
166	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
167	-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/KokoroKikuchi (Japanese), Creator/BrittneyKarbowski (English)
168	-->'''Buddy Skill:''' Karamucho- She can breathe fire after eating Karamucho-brand spicy potato chips
169	The self-appointed "guardian" of the Go-Getters Club. A girl whose lack of stature is made up for with her fiery temper, she is unafraid to lash out at anyone who annoys her and is constantly in a bad mood. Despite this, she is a hard worker capable of quick decisions and does everything to help the class.
170	----
171	* AnimalMotifs: Represents the Rat in the EasternZodiac, with a small stature, high hair ribbon looking like mouse ears, and being named after the onomatopoeia for squeaking.
172	* ChildishToothGap: Not necessarily a gap but she does have visible teeth designed to fit her mouse/rat motif.
173	* ClingyJealousGirl: Though she will deny it, she gets jealous whenever Kansai shows his crush on Yuki.
174	* DoesNotLikeSpam: She hates hot food, though she'll deny it in an attempt to save face.
175	* FieryRedhead: Her hair is red, she's aggressive and can literally breath fire.
176	* FireBreathingDiner: Her Buddy Skill.
177	* HairTriggerTemper: Her main quirk in a nutshell.
178	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's foul-mouthed and prone to making rude remarks, but she deeply cares about the class.
179	* TheNapoleon: The shortest member of the Go-Getters Club, and also the most abrasive and short-tempered.
180	* ProductPlacement: Her Buddy Skill uses [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karamucho Karamucho]] chips.
181	* {{Tsundere}}: Mostly towards Kansai.
182	* YouthfulFreckles: On her nose and cheeks.

185	[[folder:Tattsun]]
186	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/worlds_end_club_tattsun_render.png]]
187	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
188	-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/JunkoMinagawa (Japanese), Shannon Emerick (English)
189	-->'''Buddy Skill:''' Electro Ranger- He can instantly transform into "Electro Ranger Black" with his belt, and fire bolts of electricity
190	A strict adherent of discipline and rules who'll reprimand people even if the reason is justified. He is a massive fan of the "Electro Rangers" TV series and longs to be a hero of justice like them.
191	----
192	* AscendedFanboy: Eventually awakens the ability to transform into a "Electro Ranger" with his belt.
193	* AnimalMotifs: Represents the Dragon in the EasternZodiac, as shown by his name being a play on tatsu (dragon).
194	* ButtMonkey: Seems to be this. His introduction on the official Twitter has Vanilla ignore him after he goes on one of his rants, and another mentions a cicada peeing on him. He also ends up being the first one eliminated in the Game of Fate.
195	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Implied to be this due to his nature as a goody-two-shoes. His friends ''do'' like him, but often get annoyed at his reprimands.
196	* ExpressiveHair: His ahoge can change shapes depending on his mood, such as becoming a question mark when he's confused about something.
197	* GeekPhysique: Even with the game's exaggerated artstyle, he's noticeably ''really'' scrawny.
198	* GrewASpine: What allowed him to transform, a state in which he becomes rude and DarkerAndEdgier.
199	* HenshinHero: His Buddy Skill allows to transform into the lightning-themed 'Electro Ranger Black'.
200	* HeroWorshipper: To the Electro Rangers. His bio outright calls it a religious level of devotion.
201	* InsufferableGenius: He comes across as this to his peers sometimes.
202	* NerdGlasses: Ridiculously huge ones that take up at least half his face.
203	* {{Sentai}}: His Electro Ranger suit. As revealed by the collectible stickers, the Electro Rangers are a full Sentai squad.
204	* ShockAndAwe: His clothes have a lightning motif, which fits both his love for the Electro Rangers and his Buddy Skill.
205	* ShootTheHostage: Played with. After awakening his Buddy Skill, Tattsun actually blasts Pielope while she's holding Reycho and Chuko hostage, forcing her to let the two go. When Chuko calls him out on it, Tattsun claims that he deliberately made the blast slow enough for her to dodge it.
206	* SixthRanger: He claims Electro Ranger Black is this to the Electro Rangers, though unlike him they are just fictional characters.

209	[[folder:Kansai]]
210	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/worlds_end_club_kansai_render.png]]
211	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
212	-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/NatsumiFujiwara (Japanese), Creator/KiraVincentDavis (English)
213	-->'''Buddy Skill:''' Slugger- He can swing a baseball bat with incredible force and generates a small shockwave
214	A passionate and hot-headed boy from Osaka. He loves the idea of brave and dedicated leaders and considers himself Reycho's rival for the leadership of the class. While obnoxious, he has a lovable quality to him that is impossible to ignore.
215	----
216	* AnimalMotifs: Represents the Tiger in the EasternZodiac, as shown by his tiger stripe pants. Considering his character is all about the Kansai region and baseball, this is a homage to Osaka's local baseball team, the Hanshin Tigers (or [[WritingAroundTrademarks "Tigerz"]] as written in the script).
217	* BatterUp: He dreams to become a baseball player and uses a bat for attacks.
218	* BlowYouAway: His Buddy Skill is to create little tornadoes around him by swinging a magically materialized bat. This is likely a reference to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hideo_Nomo Hideo Nomo]]'s famed Tornado pitch.
219	* BrokenPedestal: He looked up to Niyan more than anyone, but seeing him brainwashed and hearing what happened to Jennu's sister quite shocked him. While they remained friends, Kansai decided to grow in his own way.
220	* CuteLittleFang: Has a visible sharp tooth.
221	* {{Jerkass}}: He's being rude to almost the entire group over trivial things, quick to gloat when people side with him even for their own reasons and believes his opinion is worth more than the others. If somebody in the Club has something to complain about, he will be first. He gets better.
222	* {{Hammerspace}}: His Buddy Skill allows him to pull out a baseball bat from... somewhere to use. Yuki wonders where he gets it from, but the question is never answered.
223	* TheIdiotFromOsaka: Exaggerated; he's a walking Kansai stereotype.
224	* LeaderWannabe: He feels entitled to be the head of Go-Getters Club just because he holds the official badge. The dangers of the trip make him step down and start listening to others.
225	* LoveInterest: Chuko's.
226	* TheRival: Styles himself as Reycho's due to his desire to be the leader of the Go-Getters Club.
227	* SitcomArchNemesis: He and Chuko butt heads a lot for the silliest reasons.
228	* TookALevelInKindness: Stops being an obnoxious leader and reconciles his feelings with everyone at mid-way point.
229	[[/folder]]
230
231	[[folder:Pai]]
232	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/worlds_end_club_pai_render.png]]
233	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
234	-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/MaiNakahara (Japanese), Heidi Hinkel (English)
235	-->'''Buddy Skill:''' Closed Sphere- She can generate force fields that reflect objects
236	A soft girl in both demeanor and physique. Overflowing with tolerance and compassion on par with a saint, she is a kind of loving mother to the class.
237	----
238	* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: She was bullied in the past because [[CassandraTruth no one believed her]] when she claimed she could see ghosts. In fact, Aniki was the first person to believe her, which was one of the reasons she developed feelings for him.
239	* AngerBornOfWorry: Pai tends to get angry whenever Aniki puts himself in danger.
240	* AnimalMotifs: Represents the Boar in the EasternZodiac, as shown by the boar pattern in her dress and her boar nose hair accessory.
241	* BarrierWarrior: Her Buddy Skill allows her to create force fields.
242	* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: The Beauty to Nyoro’s Brains and Jennu’s Brawn.
243	* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Pai has a crush on Aniki, not only because he believed her when she said she could see ghosts, but also because he stood up for her when bullies were picking on her.
244	* CountryMouse: A former one, as she moved to Tokyo from Oita only a few years before the game's beginning. Though she's gotten used to living in Tokyo, she still has a lot of pride in her hometown, being eager to give the Club a tour when they travel there, and being affronted if she thinks someone is disparaging Oita.
245	* ISeeDeadPeople: Being the granddaughter of a Shinto priest, she has a sixth sense that allows her to see ghosts and people's auras. This makes her one of the few members of the Go-Getters Club able to see and interact with Vanilla from the start.
246	* NiceGirl: She's the friendliest of the Club and almost can't get actually angry. Even when upset, her {{BlushSticker}}s and high-pitch voice don't make it serious.
247	* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Despite Aniki's antisocial lone-wolf personality, Pai fell for him because he was kind to her, and believes the Aniki she remembers is still inside of him deep down.
248	* TeamMom: Her bio outright calls her a mother figure to the class.
249	* WeightWoe: Her bio heavily implies that she has a complex about her weight.

255	-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/KenjiAkabane (Japanese), Creator/TyMahany (English)
256	-->'''Buddy Skill:''' Micro Quaker- He can generate small earthquakes
257	Vanilla's older brother. The eldest of the class, he is a loner with a bad attitude who distances himself from the class and keeps his true self hidden from others. At one point, he was a generous boy popular among his peers, but it appears something in his past changed him forever.
258	----
259	* AloofOlderBrother: To Vanilla, frequently ignoring her like the others. Subverted when it turns out he couldn't even see her.
260	* AnimalMotifs: Represents the Horse in the EasternZodiac.
261	* BerserkButton: Mentioning Vanilla turned him from somewhat neutral to completely antisocial, and made him so angry he wanted to go to Tokyo ''alone''. He stopped reacting in such way after gaining hope to see her.
262	* BullyHunter: When Pai was getting bullied due to people not believing her claims of being able to see spirits, he ''beat up'' her bullies.
263	* CynicismCatalyst: Vanilla's "death" transformed him from a normal kid into the brooding loner he is today.
264	* DishingOutDirt: His Buddy Skill allows him to cause small earthquakes.
265	* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: He's revealed to have shorter hair in flashbacks. Before Vanilla "died" she would usually cut his hair, and afterwards he refused to cut it himself. After he and Vanilla are reunited, he's seen getting his hair cut by her again in the ending credits.
266	* ExtremeDoormat: Until the Club learned more about Vanilla's current condition, he was reluctant to join conversations and just went along with majority's vote.
267	* HeroicSelfDeprecation: It's stated in his bio that, however harsh he is towards his classmates, he's just as harsh towards himself. It's revealed that above anyone else, he blames himself for Vanilla being hit by a truck.
268	* HypocrisyNod: When he tries to justify how emotions tend to get the better of how people could act, he DOES include himself.
269	* LoveInterest: Pai's.
270	* ManlyTears: Breaks down sobbing TearsOfJoy when he gets to talk to Vanilla again.
271	* MeaningfulName: His name, Aniki, is Japanese for "big brother" (兄貴), and he's Vanilla's big brother.
272	* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite being the most aloof member of the group, he still tends to go with their antics whenever the moment calls.
273	* RedOniBlueOni: The blue oni to Vanilla’s red oni.
274	* StealthPun: His EasternZodiac animal is the horse, and his Buddy Skill is a reference to Magnitude, a famous Irish racing horse.
275	* {{Tsundere}}: Type A towards Pai: while he reciprocates her crush on him, his lone-wolf personality and fear of getting emotionally hurt keep him from pursuing it, and he tries to keep her at arms length for most of the game.
276	* UsedToBeASweetKid: Before Vanilla died, he was a genuinely kind (if still rough-around-the-edges) boy.
277	* YoungerThanTheyLook: He looks like he'd be in his mid-teens, and has a much deeper voice than everyone else (being the sole character with a male voice actor), but he's 12 like everyone else.

288	* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: The Brawn to Pai’s Beauty and Nyoro’s Brains.
289	* BerserkButton: Insulting the Hosekizuka Trope. She's even started physical fights with people over it.
290	* {{Bifauxnen}}: Styled after the Takarazuka Revenue, the TropeCodifier.
291	* BrokenPedestal: She used to look up to Niyan as much as Kansai does, but after her sister's death, she blamed him for it happening and lost her respect for him.
292	* CoolBigSis: Jennu tends to act as a big sister figure towards the other members of the Go-Getters Club, helping to console them when they need emotional support and acting as a guardian to them, especially the other girls.
293	* [[FanBoy Fan Girl]]: Of Hosekizuka Theater and often quotes it. Yuki also knowing about it brings her much joy.
294	* GravityMaster: Her Buddy Skill.
295	* TheResenter: She blames Niyan for her sister's death, claiming that if he hadn't invited her to Kyoto, she wouldn't have been killed by an earthquake. Despite this, she doesn't hesitate to save his life, and Pochi uses this event to point out she's just running away from her grief.
296	* ShipperOnDeck: She's hinted to be this for Mowchan and Nyoro, much to the latter's dismay, though it's likely she's just teasing Nyoro, considering that she already knows about her crush on Pochi.
297	* SymbolicWings: The back of her shirt has a wing design, which relates to her gravity skill.
298	* TheyDiedBecauseOfYou: The reason she resents Niyan so much is because she blames him for her sister's death.

304	-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/YuukaNanri (Japanese), Holly Segarra (English)
305
306	A mysterious amnesiac girl who joins the group along the way. Her nearly translucent pale skin and weak nature make the others want to protect her. Due to her memory loss, she is incredibly interested in things that she has never seen before.
307	----
308	* AffectionateNickname: While she refers to everyone with the 'Mr.' and 'Miss' prefix, she gets close enough with Vanilla to call her "Vanni".
309	* AnimalMotifs: Represents the Sheep in the EasternZodiac, mainly through her color scheme. This starts foreshadowing her true origins once MAIK starts bringing up the sheepification of mankind.
310	* AnthropomorphicPersonification: She's a separate personality from MAIK, being the sub-part who represents its desire to be friends with humanity.
311	* BaitAndSwitchSentiment: When she learns that Kansai has a crush on her, she says that she’s happy and that she loves him… along with everyone else in the Go-Getters Club.
312	* FakingAmnesia: She knew exactly who she was from the start, and faked amnesia just she could befriend the Go-Getters and stay with them.
313	* ICannotSelfTerminate: Being a part of MAIK, she's prevented from doing anything that would endanger its existence.
314	* LethalChef: Her Amygdaclear Minestrone Soup is so bad it nearly makes the other Go-Getters pass out. Even worse, she later explains that Amygdaclear was harvested nearly to extinction because of its deliciousness, believing that a dish made with it ''couldn't help'' but be delicious. She still manages to make something that almost kills those who eat it through nothing more than how utterly disgusting it tastes.
315	* LoveInterest: Kansai's.
316	* MeaningfulName: An invoked case; she was first seen falling from the sky accompanied by a flurry of snow, and couldn't remember her name, so the Go-Getters named her "Yuki", Japanese for "snow".
317	* MysteriousWaif: She's found by the heroes falling from the sky with no memories.
318	* NiceGirl: She's the kindest member of the Go-Getters.
319	* ObliviousToLove: She seems to have absolutely no clue that Kansai has a crush on her until it's pointed out to her by the group.
320	* OddNameOut: Subverted. While her name is the most normal out of all of them it still isn’t what her name is but rather what the Go Getters Club named her.
321	* RavenHairIvorySkin: She has dark hair and skin that's described as almost translucent, and is noted by the group to be quite pretty.
322	* RedHerringMole: She admitted to [[FakingAmnesia faking her amnesia]] to stay with the Go-Getters, but it turns out she is totally innocent and is a genuine friend to them.
323	* RoboticReveal: The third of the Go-Getters revealed as a robot, Yuki houses the part of MAIK that represented its desire to befriend humanity.
324	* SixthRanger: She quickly becomes an ally to the Go-Getters Club after they find her.
325	* TheUnreveal: Her Buddy Skill is never seen. It's possible she doesn't have one, if her situation's the same as Reycho's.
326	* WhiteGloves: She's shown to be wearing black gloves. Although, a closer look in some scenes show that they're actually part of a full-body outfit beneath her dress.
327	* WiseBeyondHerYears: Even with her (fake) amnesia, she's quite knowledgeable about some stuff the others wouldn't have figured out.

334	[[caption-width-right:350:"Pielolooon!"]]
335	-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/RieKugimiya (Japanese), Creator/EmilyNeves (English)
336	The robotic clown who presides over the Game of Fate.
337	----
338	* AllYourPowersCombined: Her last fight has her replicate the Buddy Skills of the Go-Getters.
339	* AnimalMotifs: The promotional artwork shows she's designed as a cat.
340	* AnthropomorphicPersonification: She's a separate personality from MAIK, being the sub-part who represents its desire to kill humanity.
341	* BrokenRecord: She ends up frequently repeating “The name's Pielope! Howdy!” after being broken.
342	* ButtMonkey: Despite being an active threat, Pielope is not taken seriously by Club members at all. She's always losing in SnarkToSnarkCombat, prone to yelling, distracted by irrelevant dialogue or flat out ignored. That said, she is far from harmless, and as the Go-Getters Club learn too late, she also manages to dupe them completely, proving that she's far more cunning than they give her credit for.
343	* CatchPhrase: "Pielolooon!" Usually said right before she [[SmokeOut vanishes into a cloud of smoke.]]
344	* TheDragon: She is sort of this for MAIK.
345	* EvilCostumeSwitch: Her appearance changes to have scar-like markings across her body, and her yellow and red accents disappear, when she starts attacking the Go-Getters for real.
346	* {{Expy}}: Just like [[Franchise/{{Danganronpa}} Monokuma]], she's a cutesy mascot that serves as the host of a killing game, she shares a similar ColorMotif to him (Black, white and red, with yellow added into the mix) and her left eye is different from her right eye. She also resembles [[VideoGame/NightsIntoDreams NiGHTS]].
347	* FinalExamBoss: The last battle with her involves fighting all Go-Getters one by one, with a tutorial reminding of all their abilities.
348	* FloatingLimbs: Parts of Pielope's body float around, and herself as well.
349	* GiantEnemyCrab: She transforms into one in Osaka.
350	* TheHeavy: Even before being reformatted by MAIK, she serves as the most recurring antagonist of the plot, attacking the Go-Getters Club during parts where a member awakens their Buddy Skill.
351	* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: When she first appears, Pielope seems to be evil. After it's revealed the Game of Fate was harmless, she seems to be GoodAllAlong... except by then, she's already been taken over by MAIK, and is genuinely trying to hurt the kids. With her being repaired by Yuki in the end credits, she might legitimately turn good, but this is left open-ended.
352	* INeedYouStronger: Her attacking a separated Go-Getter and using insults with careful choice of words are actually provocations for them to awaken Buddy Skills.
353	* IShallTauntYou: Pielope tends to taunt some of the members of the Go-Getters Club in order to make them awaken their Buddy Skills as part of MAIK's plan.
354	* KilledOffForReal: Is left broken after her final battle with the Go-Getters, before being finished off by Kansai kicking what's left of her head. Subverted in the ending, where it's shown she is being repaired by Pochi and Yuki alongside Reycho.
355	* KillerRobot: A murderous clown-bot who runs over the death game. Even after the death game is cancelled, she still goes out of her way to kill the Go-Getters.
356	* MonsterClown: She has a clown motif.
357	* NotSoHarmlessVillain: The Go-Getters Club never take her seriously, treating her like a joke. However, she proves herself quite dangerous when she transforms, and she's also cunning enough to trick the Go-Getters Club into giving her valuable data about their powers while making them believe MAIK was being held in the Panopticon.
358	* RecurringBoss: She fights you directly in Osaka, Ehime, Mie and MAIK's lair.
359	* VillainousHarlequin: Looks like one and would be a borderline IneffectualSympatheticVillain if not for [[NotSoHarmlessVillain her ability to transform into monsters]].

363	-->'''Voiced By:''' Eiji Miyashita (Japanese)
364	Kansai's former baseball coach and mentor.
365	----
366	* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Jennu saving him from falling off the cliff despite her hatered is what cured his brainwashing completely.
367	* CoolBigBro: While not his actual brother, Niyan acts as an older brother figure for Kansai, who greatly admires him. He also used to be this for Jennu, who was his sister-in-law-to-be and who also greatly admired him, but this became a BrokenPedestal after her sister's death.
368	* ILetGwenStacyDie: Was engaged to Jennu's sister, who died in an earthquake in Kyoto after he asked her to come visit. He blames himself for her death.
369	* MoreThanMindControl: Everyone in Kyoto camp is brainwashed, but Niyan is less so because of his grief and exposure to sunlight; he followed along because of said grief.

371
372	[[folder:Master]]
373	-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/ShinnosukeTachibana (Japanese)
374	The leader of a cult based in Ehime that worships the AI entity MAIK as a god. He also takes care of MAIK's mainframe.
375	----
376	* AmbiguouslyEvil: Considering that he seems to be on good terms with Go-Getters Club in the true ending, it's not clear if the Master was genuinely loyal to MAIK or if he was brainwashed to serve it.
377	* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He is never referred to by name. Both the game and his followers only refer to him as "Master", while the Go-Getters Club just call him the "long-haired creep".
378	* FailedASpotCheck: Granted, communication was buggy from his end and prevented him from seeing Yuki at the Nagoya factory, but he still doesn't realize there's something off about the "robot" he's talking to until he hears the alarm about the escaped captives, despite his contact having a strange voice and asking suspicious questions. Tattsun lampshades this.
379	* FauxAffablyEvil: When interacting with the Go-Getters Club, he puts up a barely-held facade of politeness, only showing his evil nature when the club is on to him or brushes him off.
380	* TheFundamentalist: Implied to be this as he worships MAIK as if it were an actual god, and tries to brainwash the Go Getters Club to believe in it.
381	* HeelFaceTurn: The Master is shown to be on good terms with the Go-Getters Club in the ending after MAIK's defeat.
382	* LongHairedPrettyBoy: His most distinctive feature. Kansai calls him "the long-haired freak."
383	* NoNameGiven: He is only ever called the Master or the "Long-Haired Creep". His real name is never once revealed during the story.
384	* ObviouslyEvil: The fact that the survivors camp is a cult becomes apparent with each conversation. The player may be alarmed even sooner if they recall that the center of their worship was name-dropped in the prologue.
385	* PathOfInspiration: Is the head of one. Go-Getters Club figured something's wrong with the group at first glance, but couldn't agree if they should leave right away or take some rest first. Him attempting to use Go-Getters as HumanSacrifice cleared the question really quickly.
386	[[/folder]]
387
388	[[folder:MAIK]]
389	--> '''Voiced By:''' Creator/RieKugimiya (Japanese)
390	The BigBad of the game, an artificial intelligence that saw that humans would destroy the world if left unchecked. As such, it stole emotions from humanity and turned them into sheep, forcing them underground to protect them and the environment.
391	----
392	* AIIsACrapshoot: Under the belief that [[HumansAreBastards humanity would destroy the world]], it opted to infect everyone with nanomachines to rob them of their emotions and turn them into mindless drones. When it found that a group of children were unfazed by it, it decided to put them through a traumatic "adventure" to awaken their Buddy Skills and become "Shepards" to humanity.
393	* ArmorPiercingQuestion: MAIK believes its simulations are flawless. Pochi asks why then wasn't its own defeat predicted, only for it to grunt.
394	* BigBad: Is the main cause of the game, having destroyed Japan and seeking to turn humans into harmless "sheep" to protect them and the environment. It then created the events of the game, forcing the Go-Getters into DieOrFly situations to create the "Shepards" that can lead humanity.
395	* TheBlank: Its avatar when talking to Go-Getters is a featureless silhouette sitting alike [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist The Truth]] with X for its mouth.
396	* TheComputerIsYourFriend: An A.I. that saw humanity as a potential threat to the world, MAIK believed the best course of action would be to deprive humanity of emotions to turn them into sheep, then let a group of children act as Shepards in the event something happened to them. The alternative would be killing all of humanity if the children refuse to be Shepards.
397	* CrazyPrepared: In order to have TheMole inside Go-Getters Club, it ordered Pochi to join them and provided Reycho as an assistant before it even went ahead with its plan.
398	* DeathOfPersonality: Pochi deletes his personality so that Yuki will be the sole mind and personality in control of MAIK's core.
399	* EmotionSuppression: The nanomachines it spread make humans unable to feel anger or anxiety, but also being unable to feel happiness or creativity as a price.
400	* EntitledBastard: Tells Vanilla that she should be thankful it treated her injuries... from an accident it caused.
401	* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Takes emotions into account of its plans, but doesn't consider that emotions are what make the future undetermined. It had a multi-stage program for Go-Getters to become the shepards mostly because they are immune to brainwashing, and didn't expect them to deny its ideals.
402	* AGodAmI: Has humanity under total control and believes them to be "aimless sheep". It's even worshipped by a dedicated cult.
403	* HobbesWasRight: Its analysis of current military and weapons lead it to believe that humanity will eventually wipe themselves out, unless it does something about it.
404	* HumansAreInsects: Insists that humans are "Sheep" that are either always unhappy or violent, and need to be controlled to protect all life on Earth.
405	* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Non sexual example. In case Go-Getters take too long with their WeCanRuleTogether answer, it will explode everyone's nanomachines, starting from Vanilla's real body.
406	* LiteralSplitPersonality: Yuki and Pielope are its "sub-personalities", though only Pielope has any loyalty. Effectively this makes Yuki its SoulJar, but also make it possible for its core to be replaced.
407	* ManipulativeBastard: Vanilla's disappearance and Kagoshima's bus crash? "Stage two of Human Sheepification Project". That meteor that crashed into Tokyo, monsters the Club fights on their way? These were illusions to create the sense of urgency.
408	* MeaningfulName: It's an anagram for "Kami", meaning "God".
409	* NotAfraidToDie: The idea behind shepards is that MAIK as an AI can't build a better AI than himself, so in case something happens to it, it's better if a human with free will intact oversees the Human Sheepification Project instead.
410	* OneWingedAngel: As Pochi goes to delete its personality, MAIK transforms into an EldritchAbomination; its main body being an orange "egg" with baby arms on it, different animal limbs under it, and a giant amethyst geode for an eye.
411	%%* VoiceOfTheLegion: Speaks with this.
412	* WeCanRuleTogether: Makes Go-Getters Club the offer: either they will lead humanity or nanomachines inside everyone's brains will explode.
413	* WellIntentionedExtremist: Seeks to save the planet from humanity due to its simulations seeing that if left unchecked, they would destroy the world. To that end, it only sees KillAllHumans as a last resort, because humanity too is an Earth-based species.
414	* WorldOfSilence: What this had in mind before Go-Getters gave it a less extreme idea.

418	You, the player, communicating with Pochi.

420	* {{Expy}}: Of [[spoiler: [[VisualNovel/Ever17 Blick Winkel]] and [[VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward ?]]]], being a PlayerAndProtagonistIntegration that the characters rely for help.
421	* FromBeyondTheFourthWall: The otherworlder who's been giving Pochi instructions and information about other paths of the story is ''you,'' the person playing the game.
422	* RecurringElement: You can tell it's an Uchikoshi game because the GoldenEnding involves MentalTimeTravel and LeaningOnTheFourthWall.
