10
11
12The protagonist. He is a talented LBX player but is forbidden by his mother to own one. That is until the day a mysterious woman gives him the Core Skeleton AX-00.
13
14* BigEater: Ban...surprisingly eats a lot of food though its most present in W’s anime and the manga.
15* CheerfulChild: Even before Ban grew up, he was a upbeat happy child. Though his father's disappearance hit him for a while.

19* {{Deuteragonist}}: In ''W'' to Hiro’s protagonist.
20%%* DoubleWeapon: His Odin and [[spoiler:Odin Mk. II]] are equipped with this.
21* FinishingMove: His Hissatsu Functions and Special Attack Routines are
22** '''Lightning Lance (Thunderstorm Thrust)''': Achilles [[spoiler:and Odin]] First the LBX shines with its hand in a bluish tint, then the hand rotates and raises the lance weapon with the energy charged, and hurls the discharged electrical energy at the opponent.
23** '''Chou Plasma Burst (Vorpal Vortex)''': Achilles [[spoiler:and Odin]] A lance-type finishing attack function where the user LBX rotates its hands together with its lance. Then it brings its arm up, and a orange colored energy bursts out creating a spiral pattern ball of energy. Then the user LBX jumps into the air and dive to the opponent LBX.
24** '''Gungnir (Gungnir Strike)''': Odin (LBX mode)[[spoiler:/Odin Mk. II (Crossover movie only)]] The user focuses and concentrate energy to itself and fly upwards, then surrounds it's lance with flame-like cone of drill energy and hurl it towards the enemy, dealing fatal damage to those who are weak.
25** '''Jet Striker (Asgard Airstrike)''': Odin (Fighter mode) the transformable LBX charges up its entire body with energy for the attack while taking a large step back. While in mid-air, it transforms into flight mode charging straight towards the opponent LBX, evading any obstacle in its target path.
26** '''Holy Lance (Divine Lance)''': [[spoiler:Elysion and Ikaros Zero]] The LBX gathers energy particles of light to the tip of the lance. Then, it high-jumps as if ascending towards the heavens, spreading out after-effect angelic wings. The energy gathered at the lance's tip is fully charged, letting out a shining "grand-cross" star-marker. After a clockwise staff-twist, the user hurls the lance in front of the star-marker, dealing damage to multiple opponent LBX in target range.
27** '''[[CombinationAttack Sigma Drive Sword (Sigma Surge)]]''': [[spoiler:Sigma Orbis]] [[spoiler: Sigma Orbis creates a sword of the combined energies of the fused LBX.]]
28** '''[[CombinationAttack Meteor Breaker]]''': [[spoiler:Ikaros Zero (with Hiro's Ikaros Force)]] The power of the two LBX results in a single slash enough to desecrate meteors
29** '''[[spoiler:Glorious Ray]]''': [[spoiler:Ikaros Zero (Crossover movie only) and Odin Mk. II]]
30** '''[[spoiler:[[CombinationAttack Double Ray Wing]]]]''': [[spoiler:Odin Mk. II (with Hiro's Achilles D9)]]
31* ForGreatJustice: He won't forgive anyone who uses LBX to hurt other people.
32* GuileHero: Despite his idiotic tendencies in the manga, Ban is usually sane, mature, and wise for his age and focuses on strategy as well as power.
33* TheHero: Ban/Van is the protagonist of the first two series though in W he’s a Co-Protagonist with Hiro.
34* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Ban ends up in one of these after witnessing Yuusuke. Thankfully, his mother and Jin snap him out it.]]
35* IAmNotLeftHanded: A few episodes has the AX-00 breaking out kung fu moves when disarmed. It's help Van in first fight in the series, his training with Ken, and the first round of C Block in Artemis.
36* InvincibleHero: Save for a few close calls in the original, and Asuka in ‘’W’’, Ban has never lost a battle in the series and against more powerful opponents his battles usually end up in a draw.
37* LightningBruiser: His LBX have more durability than the average ones: strong just as Brawler frames, fast as Strider frames, defensive like Tank frames, and all his LBX just gets faster and stronger with better shields as the series progress.
38* LockedOutOfTheLoop: [[spoiler: His mother knows that his father is alive the whole time. In ''W'', his dad never let him in on Detector's secret until midway through the season.]]
39* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: All of his LBX have strong shields.
40* MeaningfulName: The first time Achilles needs to be bailed out [[spoiler:by Jin with the Emperor]] involved a ''leg injury''. This also happened in the match between Team Yamano and Team Morigami.
41* TheMentor: As part of his maturity, he becomes this to Hiro in ''W''. This also extends outside of LBX as he tries to guide Hiro to become a better and stronger person.
42* OlderAndWiser: In ''W'' he’s grown older and smarter. Because of this, he sometimes acts as a friendly mentor to the new members of the team.
43* OnlySaneMan: While Kazu is usually this, Ban usually shows shades of this. The best example would be in the Akibahara tournament when he has to deal with Hanzou and Daiki continuing to butt heads throughout the tournament.
44* RookieRedRanger: Because his mother initially banned him from even owning an LBX, he starts the series without much experience in battles outside of the Kitajima store. Despite that, he has potential that shines once he gets Achilles.
45* SuperMode: After V Mode was unlocked for Van, his LBX gained more unlocked Specials Modes for him to use
46** '''Advanced V Mode''': Achilles
47** '''Extreme Mode''': Odin
48** '''Knight Mode''': [[spoiler:Elysion]]
49** '''[[spoiler:WX (Double Extreme) Mode]]''': [[spoiler:Odin Mk. II]]

51* WhatTheHellHero: Calls his dad out [[spoiler: for creating the Detector identity when they promised before that LBX would be used for good after the original series in #W]].
52* TheWorfEffect: While he didn’t lose the match thanks to Jin’s unexpected save, his losing battle against Daiki showed that he just can’t rely on Achilles’ natural power or Attack Functions to win.
53
54!!Aoshima Kazuya (JP) / Kaz Walker (EG)
55--> LBX (original game): custom Warrior (Trooper) / Hunter / Fenrir
56--> LBX (sequels): [[spoiler:Achilles Deed (Achilles Fiend)]]
57--> '''Voiced by''' Creator/DaisukeNamikawa (Japanese), and Brett Bauer (English, Dentsu Entertainment)
58
59Ban’s best friend, going to the same school but in a different class. He comes off as a bit rough around the edges, but he’s really a good guy and shows courage when his friends need his help. His proficiency is using LBX with long range and two handed guns.
60
61* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: His cynicism is more present in the anime, most notably during the Electronica arc where CantCatchUp starts to apply and he nearly breaks down during the [=Perfect ZX=] and [=Hades=] battles while he sweat it off in the video game. Its a bit more justified in the anime, which eventually stops once Professor Yamano’s helps Kaz reach the next level in a [[BigDamnHeroes really big way]].
62* AdrenalineMakeover: after [[spoiler:TheBusCameBack]] in ''W''.
63* AnimalMotifs: His LBX are the wolf-like Hunter and Fenrir.
64* BrainwashedAndCrazy: In the original game and first anime, Kazu ends up being subjected to this by the Three Moes through the LBX Egypt, being commanded into hunting and destroying Achilles.
65** Ironically in ‘’W’’, [[spoiler: he was going to be subjected to this by Detector, but his collar malfunctioned, after getting kidnapped and Professor Yamano revealed the truth, making him the prime user for Achilles Deed and his NumberTwo]]
66* CantCatchUp: Once Hunter starts failing in battles with Pandora and Odin, Kazu starts feeling unable to help the others out. [[{{AvertedTrope}} Eventually averted once he gets Fenrir]]
67* ColorCodedEyes: His grey eyes represent his strong will whenever he’s motivated though he’s not cold or unapproachable except when depressed.
68* CripplingOverspecialization: Being a sniper means his LBX is more vulnerable to close-up attacks than others.
69* TheCynic: It isn't extreme but he's the most cautious and is usually the one who voices doubts about his team's plan.
70* DistressedDude: [[spoiler: In ''W'']]
71* FinishingMove: His Hissatsu Functions and Special Attack Routines are
72** '''Stinger Missile (Stinger Salvo)''': Hunter fires multiple missile from his back to aim at his target and boosts the Chance Gauge depending on how many missiles it.
73** '''Hawkeye Drive (Horroscope)''': Fenrir fires three high powerful shots at the opponent.
74** '''[[spoiler:Black Storm]]''': [[spoiler:Achilles Deed]] [[spoiler: Creates a gigantic sphere of energy condensed into the gun, then fires it at the opponent in a form of a deadly storm that viciously harms all nearby LBX.]]
75* FriendlySniper: All of LBX use rifle and/or gun styles but Kaz is a nice guy and best friend to Ban and Amy.
76* GlassCannon: Hunter and Fenrir are both powerful Wild types and are LongRangeFighter LBX that racks up damage easily, has a fast Chance Gauge, and moves very quickly, but unless Hunter is equipped with a melee weapon or has a shield, it's at a big risk up close and has low defenses especially using his custom rifle with a scope feature since while it's shooting, it can’t move.
77* HeroicSacrifice: Has lost his LBX in battles more than anyone else partly because of this.
78* HeroicBSOD: After losing his first LBX in the battle with Hanz and when he CantCatchUp during the Electronica saga.
79* TheLancer: He’s Van’s best friend, the cynical and skeptical to Van’s optimistic and idealistic nature, [[ShortRangeGuyLongRangeGuy Long Range sniper LBX battler to Van’s knight framed short ranged fighter]], while always being there to support and back up Van no matter what.
80* LightningBruiser: [[spoiler: Achilles Deed. In contrast to Hunter and Fenrir and most W LBX, Deed is not only fast but extremely mobile thanks to its flight capabilities, highly powerful, and his defenses are strong enough to ‘’’block Gungnir Strike with little damage’’’]].
81* MasterOfNone: Kaz’s original Trooper was this. It's a common LBX usually used for beginners, though Kaz’s customizations lean to more JackOfAllStats
82* MidSeasonUpgrade: Hunter and Fenrir. Kazu is only one of two characters that get 2 upgrades in the first series[=/=]game.
83* NiceGuy: While he’s a bit worried about dangerous situations, he’s a good friend and always there to help Van and Amy.
84* OnlySaneMan: He’s one of the most sane characters in the series, often questioning situations that seem way to farfetched to happen in normal everyday lives, asking questions pertaining to realistic outcomes, and remains skeptical of former enemies such as [[spoiler: Justin and Yagami]]
85* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: Gets kidnapped in ''W'']]
86** TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler: Rejoins the group as of Episode 30.]]
87* TheReveal: [[spoiler: He’s the operator of Achilles DEED. When he was kidnapped, it turned out his slave collar malfunctioned afterwards, found Detector’s true identity and motives, and worked with him as his NumberTwo to expose the International LBX Federation (Omega Dain) crimes.]]
88* SniperDuel: Usually happens when he’s fighting LBX with sniper rifles or a LongRangeFighter. The best case would be his battle with Jackal.
89* SlasherSmile: Sported these while being brainwashed by Egypt[=/=]Pharaoh.
90* SuperMode: [[spoiler:Achilles Deed's '''Demonic Mode''']]
91* TookALevelInBadass:
92** After he got Hunter and later Fenrir, his confidence and skills improved greatly to the point where he defeated at least one opponent during Artemis, and in the case of the finals of Block C, took down ‘’’two of of three members of Team Morigami’’’.
93** [[spoiler: When he came back in W, let’s just say his skills, attitude, abilities, muscles, and LBX have greatly improved from the first series. ]]
94* TheWorfEffect: [[{{DoubleSubversion}} Double Subverted]] Seems like once he gets a new LBX, it gets destroyed within a few battles. However:
95** He and Warrior managed to save Van and Amy from the Devas, but then he performed a HeroicSacrifice to save Achilles from being destroyed.
96** Hunter was a victim of TheWorfEffect to Justin, who was proving why he’s the Sudden Death Emperor to everyone but Van in the Catacombs but still made it to the semi finals over Amy.
97*** Also, in Artemis C Block Finals, he had the worst showing against Team Morigami in the beginning of the match but then was able to take down two/thirds of the team and injure Keita’s Trooper before the latter used Trident Thrust to defeat Pandora and Hunter.
98** After Van and Amy got Odin and Pandora, his attacks were barely scratching [[=Perfect ZX3=]] until he got a clean shot…. [[TheWorfBarrage which did nothing]], so he sacrificed himself to protect them from Mega Thunder Cross. However, turns out Hunter’s shot managed to damage the movement system, allowing the others to defeat Otaku.
99** Then he was completely outclasses against Hades, until Professor Yamano turned out to have sent Hunter’s evolution program and had faith Kazu would be the one to help Van reach the Infinity Engine and once the evolution kicks in, Fenrir helps turn the entire battle around.
100** In Team Van vs Team Justin in Elektronica Kingdom, Fenrir was the only holding down Destroyer Z and Odin until they trapped him even though Van caught all three members to use Gungnir Strike.
101** A proper worfing happened where he lost alongside Hanz, Daiki, and Amy against Kurtis. Which was mostly offscreen.
102** The last time was the beginning of W [[spoiler: where Fenrir was destroyed and Kazu was kidnapped. For a while]].
103** [[spoiler: Dished out this to Asuka in episode 30 to show how more powerful Achilles Deed is]]

139* EasilyForgiven: Thankfully she rejoins the Seekers and rejoins Tiny Orbit.
140* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: She started off as Professor Yamano’s assistant, joined the Innovators helping Yamano until both found the truth, escaped with AX-00 to give it to Ban and rejoined the Seekers, [[spoiler: then became TheMole during the “Rescue the Professor arc” when Kaidou blackmailed her for her sister’s safety until the professor’s escape plan force Takuya to make her realize that Kaidou is only using her]], [[spoiler: becomes a renegade to attempt to kill Kaidou which would’ve worked had Kaidou not been killed and revealed as an android and then resigned to her fate before Yagami saved her]]. By the end, she’s thankfully on the heroes side.
141* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Two examples. The first time, she regrets having to [[spoiler: betray the Seekers over saving her sister, especially because Takuya realizes that even if she succeeded, Kaidou wouldn’t hold up his end of the bargain]]. The second time, she was severely shocked after she [[spoiler: apparently killed Kaidou Yoshimitsu]].
142* TheMole: [[spoiler: For the Innovators for a while, though not at the beginning. Justified since Kaidou is essentially holding her sister hostage through a medical program]].

191* KnightTemplar: [[spoiler: Wants to destroy the current corrupted world]]
192* LightningBruiser: G-Rex [[spoiler: and Ifrit]] are insanely strong and durable, and is faster than its sizes suggests. It’s enough to match fellow Lightning Bruiser Emperor M2 on equal grounds.
193** [[spoiler: Ifrit takes it to a whole another level. Its fast to keep up with Odin in flight mode, which is literally a jet plane. Its strong enough to tank most Hissatsu techniques and can smash through steel infrastructure like its nothing.

200
201!!Uzaki Yuusuke (JP) / Damon Osgood (EG)

203--> '''Voiced by''' Creator/GoShinomiya (Japanese), Jesse Gervais (English, Dentsu Entertainment)
204
205* BigGood: Shares this role alongside Otacross. He’s the head of Tiny Orbit and the benefactor to the Seekers on and outside his office. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, his death puts a stop to that in #38, after the raid on his house after his sacrifice to save Heiji Kirishima from the Innovators]].
206* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: saves the trio from the Steel Monster and aides Van in controlling V Mode before saving them again during the Innovator’s attempt to ambush them during the trip to the Innovators]]

214* TheObiWan: A wise and helpful mentor to the trio [[spoiler: and just like him, he dies]].
215* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler: With Kirishima. The Tiny Orbit board brought Aska Industries and removed Heiji without Yuusuke’s involvement even though he tried to fight it. As being the creator of the fortified cardboard, Kirishima obviously feels betrayed, which Damon feels obligated to make amends. He even sacrificed himself to save him in the process, which leads to Kirishima joining the Seekers.]]

228* CurbStompBattle: Often dishes this out, even to Kazu’s LBX in this three on one battle against the trio. However, he’s on the receiving end from Daiki in round 1.
229* {{Expy}}: Of [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]] down to the attitude, MemeticBadass moments, and personality.
230* FinishingMove: His Special Attack Rountines and Hissatsu Functions are
231** '''Gaoh Cannon (Breath of Fire)''': Hakai-O charges its energy in its centre breast cannon, then fires at the opponent with destructive force. Its only demerit is that all functions are temporarily ceased after firing, making it vulnerable towards its opponents.
232** '''Chou Gaoh Cannon (Breath Of Dragons)''': [[spoiler:Hakai-O Z and Hakai-O Dogma]] Its stronger than the regular Gaoh Cannon, but fires two gigantic bursts of electrical energy and without the function decreasing.
233* GoodIsNotNice: As someone in the game pointed out, Hanz isn’t really a bad guy, he just goes all out in his LBX battles and loves to battles. Plus, there were people who challenged him. He’s a good guy at heart, and does anything to help his friends.
234* GoodAllAlong: Has been working with the Seeekers & Lex since the series began.
235* HotBlooded: One of the most driven, competitive, and determined characters.
236* HeroicRematch: Finally defeats Daiki in round 2, forcing him to join the good guys by default.
237* TheLeader: When not adventuring with Van and friends, he’s the leader of his own gang, The Devas[=/=]Hands of Hanz.
238* MightyGlacier: In contrast to the other 5 main characters’ LBX, the Destroyer line aren’t fast and Hanz usually relies on its insane power and defense, though Hanz has been known to strike quickly and has adapted his fighting style to take on opponents of any speed.
239* PantheraAwesome: Hakai-O resembles a lion.
240* RedBaron: "Destruction God of Hell" ("Lord of Destruction" in English)
241** NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Hakai-O already means 'king of destruction'.
242* SitcomArchnemesis: To Sendou. Still they team up for Artemis in ''W''.
243* WalkingShirtlessScene: Has these a lot. Mika and his fanbase are pleased.
244* TheWorfEffect: Doesn’t win a lot of battles in the beginning but [[CurbStompCushion he doesn't go down in all of his fights]], and his winning record improves.

252
253* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: in ''W'' #28, he becomes a Slave Player alongside Gouda, Yamenko, and Ota Silver]]
254* DoppelgangerAttack: His specialty. [[spoiler: At first its with cheating, but trains hard enough to eventually do it easily]].
255* EveryoneHasStandards: He’s a jerk [[spoiler: and sort of a cheater, but by no means is he working with the Innovators. He calls it beneath him and berates Van for thinking that he would stoop so low.]]
256* FinishingMove: His Hissatsu Functions and Special Attack Routines are:
257** '''Deathscythe Hurricane (Dark Helix)''': Joker Mk. II, [[spoiler:Nightmare and Nightmare Fear]]attack all nearby opponents through slashing the scythe at a high enough speed to create a hurricane.
258* GlassCannon: Overlaps with FragileSpeedster. Dak’s LBX are very fast, even faster than Amy’s and thanks to special training with Joker [=MK2=] he’s fast enough to use his DoppelgangerAttack [[spoiler: without cheating]]. His scythes are all very powerful which are normally used by MightyGlacier type LBX. The problem is, his LBX’s defense are poor since the scythe prevents him from using a shield. Joker, [=MK2=], and Nightmare are not strong without his weapon. As shown through his battles with Otaku Red, Hanzou, and Jin, once you counter his speed, prevent him from attacking and pin him down, he’s helpless.
259** --> (Otaku Red in the dub): ‘’You’re fast, but that’s it’’.
260* HeelFaceTurn [[spoiler: Though he wasn’t the spy, just an super arrogant rival]]
261* IWorkAlone: [[{{Tsundere}} Likes to say this]]. Especially to Gouda, with whom he teams up on several occasion.
262* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: Invoked with the new red LBX Joker that debuts in Artemis, [[spoiler:but subverted as he gets [[TheWorfEffect worfed]] against ''Otared''.]]
263* MonsterClown: LBX Joker.
264* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: [[spoiler:LBX ''Nightmare'']].
265* RedBaron: "The Magician of the Box" ("Jack in the Box" in English). Moreso with the second LBX Joker being a red PaletteSwap.
266* SitcomArchnemesis: To Gouda.
267* TarotMotifs
268** Subverted in that he doesn't seem to know what most of his cards actually mean, such as trying to intimidate Van with the "Death" card[[note]]Which is supposed to mean "change" rather than literal death.[[/note]], or by comparing his use of brute strength to "The Fool"[[note]]Which is supposed to mean "unlimited potential" rather than simply being an idiot.[[/note]].
269* {{Tsundere}}: He tags along just because it's interesting, not because he cares about Ban & co. Not at all.
270* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: Inversion - his time in the "big league" and saving the day in Akihabara Kingdom leaves him unable to do anything but CurbStompBattle his usual opponents with the experience.

276
277* AloofAlly: [[spoiler: post HeelFaceTurn, but becomes a true SixthRanger at the end of the Raid on Tiny Orbit]]
278* BigFancyHouse: The Kaidou Mansion is more like a ''fortress'', complete with ElaborateUndergroundBase.
279* ChildProdigy: A genius and well educated in many topics including LBX at a young age.
280* CombatPragmatist: PlayedForLaughs in his matches against [[{{Otaku}} Otakus]] and samurai who like making long speeches before fights.
281* DefrostingIceKing: [[spoiler: He becomes noticeably warmer and more expressive after meeting Ban]].
282* [[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter Evil Scientist's Handsome Grandson]]: Kaidou’s though [[spoiler: not by birth]].
283* FinishingMove: His Hissatsu Functions and Special Attack Routines are:
284** '''Impact Kaiser (Ground Breaker)''': The Emperor, Emperor M2 [[spoiler:and Ikaros Zero]] Strikes the ground with Titania at hard force to cause a quake of lava and destruction.
285** '''Break Geyser (Earth Shatterer)''': [[spoiler:Proto Zenon and Zenon]] smashes the ground with even harder force than Impact Kaiser.
286** '''Omega Explosion''': [[spoiler:Zenon Alternative Mode]] One of the strongest Hammer Type attack functions, Zenon spins into the air at high speeds and crashes down onto the ground and the opponents LBX at the same type.
287** '''Ocean Blast (Depth Charge)''': [[spoiler:Triton Surrounds itself in a veil of water, then aims the water with its anchor to fire a stream of water at the opponent]]
288** [[spoiler:'''Grand Wall]]''' [[spoiler:Triton (Crossover movie only)]]
289* GlassCannon: [[spoiler: Triton isn’t as durable as the Zenon LBX, but nearly as strong, and even faster to compensate]].
290* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: started showing shades of this after the Artemis tournament, and officially turned face after obtaining Proto-Zenon]].
291* LightningBruiser: All his LBX’s in the first game/anime are strong and durable but his speed is just on par. Justin’s LBX are stronger than Hanz’s, faster than Amy’s & Dak’s, and his defenses are tied with Van’s even without a shield
292* LonelyRichKid: He only has his LBX and his butler around him at home.
293* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler: His parents died in the Tokio Bridge incident and he was adopted by Kaidou Yoshimitsu]].
294* NewTransferStudent: And what better way to introduce yourself to your classmates than arriving in a ''freaking JET PLANE''!
295* PetTheDog: The first sign of him being a decent guy is when he teamed up with Ban to save [[spoiler: Haibara Yuuya]].
296* ProngsOfPoseidon: Unsurprisingly, weapon of Triton, his LBX in ''W''.
297* RedBaron: "[[LightningBruiser Instant Kill Emperor]]" ("Sudden Death Emperor" in English)
298* RedEyesTakeWarning: Until his HeelFaceTurn, even before, he's a decent person on the wrong side.
299* SuperMode: [[spoiler:Zenon's '''Alternative Mode''']]
300* TheQuietOne: Just speaks when it's necessary.
301* TheRival: To Ban, and notably his most proficient and powerful.
302* TheStoic: Rarely showed any emotion until midway through the original series
303* [[TheUglyGuysHotDaughter The Ugly Guy's Hot Grandson]]: Adoptive, but still.
304* {{Tsurime}}: Which stands out in a cast with mostly {{Tareme}}.
305* UndyingLoyalty: He used to have this ideology with his grandfather, but changed that about a quarter-way in the story. His manga part cranked it up until his grandfather called him a useless piece of service and his pawn. Played more straight with his butler, who helps him even though Jin made a HeelFaceTurn.

307!!Ryuu Daikouji (JP) / Gabe Lewis (EG)
308--> LBX (original game): Buld (Bulldozer) / Buld Kai (Bulldoze 4WD) / [[spoiler: Ultimate Buld (Super Bulldoze)]]
309--> ‘’’Voiced by’’ Creator/SusumuChiba (Japanese), Andy Toth (English)
310* AbhorrentAdmirer: He has a major crush on Amy, and she doesn’t reciprocate.
311* AttackAttackAttack: His strategy most of the time, which puts him in more harm than good.
312* TheBigGuy: He has the look and the personality, but he’s absolutely useless in a fight most of the time due to his lack of experience and ability.
313* GeniusBruiser: He’s not the best battler, but he’s good with machines and heavy machinery.
314* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: At times, he can be unusually rude to anyone but Amy but he never means anything intentionally bad by it and he actually cares for his friends. Though telling his teacher that she needs more makeup on her face was a bad move.
315* PluckyComicRelief: His role in the franchise.
316* StoneWall: The Buld line has a lot of defense, and attack on par with Brawler frames. Plus when Ryuu uses Tank frames, he gets a damage reducing boost when blocking. It would be a MightyGlacier depending on the stats and with certain weapons, Ryuu could go into a LightningBruiser. Problem is, Ryuu needs to get better at LBX battles.
317* WakeUpCallBoss: Believe it or not, in the games, he’s this.
318** After Kazu is trying out new LBX styles, the player has to face Ryuu in a battle where he has the complete advantage. Luckily, the game wants you to lose to progress the story, but if the player wants to win, good luck.
319** Using Tank frames helps him a lot in the Ranking Battle. He’s on the lowest, but because of the absurd amount of health Ryuu has as well as axes that damage even higher level LBX, he’s one of the hardest Ranking Battles to defeat on the player’s first try.
320* TheWorfEffect: Has lost almost every battle in the entire series. No joke.
321
322!!Mika Mikage (JP) / Mika Morris (EG)
323--> LBX (original game): Amazoness (Amazon)
324--> LBX sequels: [[spoiler: Noble Freya]].
325-> '''Voiced by''' Creator/AkenoWatanabe (Japanese); Sunni Westbrook (English)
326* ActionGirl: Mika’s good at LBX battles, though we don’t see it as much.
327* DeadpanSnarker: Only to Ryuu. To be fair, he deserves it.
328* GlassCannon: Her LBX are fast, and have more attack power than the traditional Strider frames, notably when she uses lances. However, her’s also have very low defenses and health.
329* TheHeart: Of the FiveManBand established, she’s the other girl with Amy, though by no means less capable.
330* PerkyGoth: Sometimes, especially when Hanz is around.
331* NiceGirl: Mika’s shy, but a honest and nice person.
332* OutOfFocus: She’s shown to be a capable battler on par with Van, Kazu, and Amy, but doesn’t do much battling while Gabe gets more comedic focus.
333!!Riko Yazawa (JP) / Rika Yazawa (EG)
334--> LBX (original game): Queen (Ruby Queen)
335--> '''Voiced by''': Creator/KeiShindou (Japanese)
336Riko’s a member of Hanzou’s gang. She’s feisty, confident, arrogant, but is generally a good person at heart. Like Hanzou, she is a delinquent and follows him around to a T.
337* CurbStompBattle: Alongside Tetsuo, she wrecks Ryuu without even breaking a sweat or getting damaged.
338* FinishingMove: Her Special Attack Routines and Hissatsu are:
339** '''Grace Missile (Royal Flush)''': [[MacrossMissileMassacre Queen fires a barrage of missile that fire upwards, and proceeds to file back down to the enemy LBX]].
340* GenkiGirl: She’s very upbeat and positive, especially after it is revealed that Gouda’s gang is GoodAllAlong.
341* GatlingGood: Her Queen’s Royal Salute is a machine gun that can fire up to thirty shots without reloading.
342* HoverMecha: Rika’s Queen does not have legs, but instead can hover in the air. Because of that, she can have Queen. blast the opponent from either on the ground or go high in the air to avoid attacks. However, Ban and AX-00 prove that this does not mean that she has the advantage in the air.
343* NumberTwo: Out of the trio she calls the shots when Hanz is not around and acts as their field leader even though Ginji is smarter at strategy than her.
344* TookALevelInKindness: Rika starts off as annoying and willing to hurt and win LBX battles by bullying others. After Hanzou and Ban slowly become allies and friends, she starts becoming the nice one of the group. She tells Ban not to let down Hanzou when he gave the former his Hakai-O arm during Angra Visdas. By the Artemis Tournament, she cheers on Ban and tells Ami that the rest of her gang and Ryuu helped work on a banner to cheer her. When Daiki [[TeethClenchedTeamwork joins with Ban’s team and Hanzou’s gang and starts fighting for no reason, it’s Rika who’s telling to knock it off and work together]].
345* PromotedToPlayable: In Danball Senki Boost, you can unlock her as a playable character.
346* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She is the lone female of the group.
347* WomenAreWiser: Save for when they’re doing their team poses, Riko’s the levelhead and mature one of the group.

349!!Ginji Shinkano (JP) / Benji Darby (EG)
350--> LBX (original game): Mad Dog (Chameleon)
351--> '''Voiced By''': Nobuyuki Kobushi (Japanese), Lucas Gilbertson (English, Dentsu Entertainment)
352* AmbiguouslyHuman: He looks more like a lizard or a chameleon than a human, especially when he moves his tongue.
353* ChameleonCamouflage: His only special attack involves his chameleon like LBX turning invisible. The only way it could be traced is if it moves around too much and the camouflage disappears, or if someone uses a magnetic bomb to paralyze his LBX.
354* FinishingMove: His only Special Attack Routine[=/=]Hissatsu Function is Camouflage. See ChameleonCamouflage.
355* GlassCannon: Mad Dog is fast on its feet, it’s camouflage ability allows it to create sneak attacks and its claws hit hard and are dangerous to its opponents. However, it’s defense is low, has no shields, and once someone can catch up with it, it can break over in just one hit.
356* TheSmartGuy: Ginij’s smarter than the rest of the Devas, and his fighting style involves cunning and strategy as opposed to brute force.
357* TheSneakyGuy: At the same time, Ginji’s also the sneakiest member of the Devas. He gathers information and spies about anyone that seems to be a threat to his crew, sneaks around a lot, and in battle, he acts as the one who hides around, plans, and attacks only when necessary instead of getting his hands dirty.

366* ADayInTheLimelight: [[spoiler: In episodes #25 to #27 he gets the BC Extras Tournament in the anime to focus more on his CharacterDevelopment]].
367* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: Due to being experimented on by Kamiya Craft under order of Kaidou Yoshimitsu, which is partly why Jin feels responsible for him]].
368* BrokenAce: [[spoiler: He’s one of the strong LBX battlers in the series, but because of his backstory, the only thing he has in his life is LBX and angst in that fact for a while in ‘’W’’]].
369* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: [[spoiler: In ''W'' his look, appearance, and personality changes in a direct contract to his appearances in season 1]]]
370* ExtremeDoormat: [[spoiler: Because he is used as an experimental subject. When Psycho Scanning Mode starts to become unstable, he finally shows emotions of pain and crying for help before he becomes out of control. Thankfully, he gets better in ''W'']]
371* FinishingMove: His Hissatsu Functions and Special Attack Routines are:
372** '''Power Slash''': Judge [[spoiler:and Ikaros Force]] When activated, the user's sword will emit a light energy as like it is charging power, then hurl it in front of the user. When hurled, it creates a powerful explosion upon when it hits an enemy or an obstacles.
373** '''Byakko Shouhazan (White Tiger Flash)''': [[spoiler:Liu Bei]]. [[spoiler: When activated, a blue aura surrounds the sword being held, which then turns into a blue tiger. The user then leaps a far distance and slashes the enemy in front of it with the sword, dealing fatal damage.]]
374** '''[[spoiler:Drill Slasher]]''': [[spoiler:Liu Bei (Crossover movie only)]] [[spoiler: When activated, the user will then concentrate energy which like a drill on its sword, then charges/pierces through its enemy, dealing critical damage.]]
375* IOweYouMyLife: [[spoiler: Towards Jin in ''W'' after Jin successfully helped him recover from the events with the Innovators between seasons 1 and 2.]]
376* TheMentor: [[spoiler: Acts as one to Ran in ‘’W’’ during the Texas Catacombs Contest. Unlike Van and Jin, his efforts take a longer while to take effect]]
377* NoSocialSkills: [[spoiler: Due to him being stuck as an experiment for seven years of his life, his attempts to try to socialize with Hiro and Ran don’t always work]].
378* MonochromaticEyes:
379* PeopleJars: In one of these in his first appearance.
380* SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining: He’s been raised to be a LBX weapon his whole life. After the events of the original series, he’s a NiceGuy with NoSocialSkills.
381* SuperMode: PS (which stands for Psycho Scanning) Mode when he use Judge in season 1. It also doubles as his SuperPoweredEvilSide since using it….didn’t go so well.
382* {{Technopath}}: Can control LBX with his mind thanks to a special suit, with [[BrainwashedAndCrazy horrible side effects]]
383* TookALevelInBadass: While he is strong battler, he goes through this in W[=/=]season 2, [[spoiler: overcoming his doubts and finding a purpose to live thanks to Alice and Otacross in the BC Extra Tournament, defeating Hiro, then becoming the only main character out of the NICS team to defeat Kirito in a one on one fight an episode later]].

391* CoolOldGuy: After the trio passes his trials, he’s this to the protagonists, often helping them in Akihabara, the siege on Tiny Orbit, and his eccentric ways combined with his hidden wisdom is an asset.
392* DirtyOldMan: More as crush. He likes girls like Amy and Ran, but hates hyperactive ones like [[spoiler: Asuka]].
393* EccentricMentor: He’s completely odd, but a caring and helpful mentor to Team Ban and the Otaku Rangers.
394* FinishingMove: Which he is almost assured to use a different, more complicated name for:
395** '''Mega Thunder Cross''': [[spoiler:Perfect [=ZX3=] and Perfect [=ZX4=]]]
396* LargeHam: He hams up everything, from hacking to his perverted tendencies.
397* MiniatureSeniorCitizen: Simultaneously one of the oldest ''and shortest'' characters.
398* MissionControl: In the third half of the original series and full time during #W.
399* OldMaster: To the Otarangers and to Ban and co. to an extent
400* {{Otaku}}: He loves Sakura Zero, anime and geek culture, and is a mentor of an entire team of otakus.
401* StoryBreakerPower: Let’s face it, without his help, they would’ve never hacked the Janus Gate or [[spoiler: found the brainwashing tower in China and helped save Amy]]. In #W he even calls himself their "secret weapon".
402* VerbalTic: Adds "-deo" at the end of his speech. In the English localization of Baku Boost, he ends sentences with "yes it is" and variants.
403* WeaponSpecialization: Each ZX model has a specific weapon.
404** TheGunslinger, Axes, and spears: The [=ZX3 units=] use each one respectively.
405** {{BFS}}: [[spoiler:Perfect [=ZX3=]]]
406* Despite his oddities, he’s a mentor who sees the good in the kids. In the game, he picked Kazu to go with Ban since they’re best friends despite Kazu’s doubts and is proud of the trio when they not only beat his ZX units, but when [[spoiler: Kazu and Ban combine to take down Hades]]. In #W, he gives this speech properly to [[spoiler: Yuuya and Kousuke, the first to realize his love and passion for LBX as his purpose to live, the second to prove to Kousuke that he can move on from his parent’s death.]]

408!!The Otarangers (JP) / The Otaku Rangers (EG)
409--> [=LBXs=]: The Bibinbird-X (Birdbrain-X) line
410
411* AccidentalMisnaming: Every time they meet, Ban initially calls Otared by the alias he used in the first Artemis tournament, "Yujin" ("Eugene" in English).
412* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: Otasilver in ''W'' #28.]]
413* TheBusCameBack: Ota Red in #W for Artemis 2051, accompanied with the new [[SixthRanger members, Ota Gold and Ota Silver]].
414* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass[=/=] LethalJokeCharacter: Otared is the first guy to ''hand Daiki his own ass.'' and make through D Block in Artemis on his own! He even lasted longer than Masquerade J in the Battle Royale.
415** Ota Yellow actually gave Amy some trouble in their match.
416** Ota Blue can fight three of members of his squad with the players assistance in Boost!
417* FiveManBand: They're very clearly trying to be one, although they may have missed their marks by a little. Ota Red is TheLeader and Ota Pink is TheHeart but Otayellow is obviously supposed to be TheBigGuy, although he's not so much strong as he is just plain fat. Ota Blue is the second in command which would make him TheLancer but no one respect him. Meanwhile, Ota Black thinks he’s TheSmartGuy by going after crime, but in reality he’s TheSneakyGuy that just goes around thinking he’s found bad guys, and whose only smarts come from creating team poses.
418* FriendlyRivalry: Otaku Red sees Ban as this by #W and Ban respect him as well minus his oddities.
419* LargeHam: If there was a content for who’s the hammiest, these guys would win in every category.
420* TheLeader: Ota Red is the leader of the group and the first one we see. And as {{Sentai}} tropes go, he’s the best battler on the team as well as the least stupidest.
421* {{Otaku}}: An entire team of them.
422* {{Sentai}}: Or at least pretending to be.
423* SixthRanger: In Danball Senki W, we are introduced to a pair of American Otarangers - Otasilver, a blonde bombshell who likes to partially unzip her jumpsuit to show off her cleavage, and Otagold, a TokenMinority black guy whose helmet is too small to fit on his head. They play most of the Sixth Ranger status as the new strong members of the team pretty accurate since the two are far more competent in battles than everyone else on the team and on par with Ota Red.
424* SuperSentaiStance: They like to do this at every possible opportunity - even when riding an escalator. It tends to get increasingly silly each time. Plus Otayellow keeps screwing it up.
425* WrongGenreSavvy: In multiple genres, ranging all the way from {{Sentai}} to DatingSim, no less.

432* BigGood: Even when kidnapped, he’s still this to the protagonists.
433* TheChessmaster: Has shades of this with [[spoiler: how he plans for his LBX to be sent for the relevant users]].
434* CreatorBacklash:[[spoiler: In-universe in ''W''. With all the damage LBX had done in the original series and the real villains using LBX as a cover up, unfortunately he chooses to use his own creations as a threat.]]
435* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: Well it is justified. He was supposedly killed in a plane crash when in reality, he was kidnapped, and had to keep his family, allies, and other friends safe.
436* DanceBattler: [[spoiler: His battling style with Masquerade in the Artemis tournament]].
437* DisappearedDad: Not his fault, you know, with being kidnapped and all. Although it seems that he is occasionally away from his family one year later in ''W''.
438* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: [[{{SubvertedTrope}} subverted]]. Owen reminds him of all the damage he caused despite his noble intentions in #W]]. Played straight for in season 1 where his abandonment came from being kidnapped and trying to stop a criminal organizations.
439* GadgeteerGenius: He creates amazing gadgets. Sadly, others enjoy using them for bad things.
440** [[spoiler:HeroicBSOD]]: The result. [[spoiler:He created Detector just to take down the LBX authority.]]
441* GlassCannon: [[spoiler: Masquerade is very fast, and Jon's battling style involves Masquerade finishing opponent LBX with a few strikes. However, one hit from a weak move like Power Slash was enough for it to be taken out of the Battle Royale. As a Strider type, this was a given.]]
442* LargeHam: In his [[spoiler: Masked J]] persona. After what happened in the last arc, it was rather enjoyable to see him mess with his opponents in B Block of Artemis.
443* PaperThinDisguise: [[spoiler: His Masked J act in Artemis. Ban didn't completely recognize him but Yuusuke figured it out immediately. Amy laughs that his costume needed work.]]
444** Then utterly subverted in ''W''. [[spoiler:He was ''freaking Detector the whole time!'']]

458* TheAtoner: [[spoiler: For serving the Innovators in the original series. He’s seriously angry at being deceived by Kaidou after all this time. In #W he actually turned himself in, but Prime Minister Zaizen offered him a plea bargain to work as his personal intelligence and have a proper restart thanks to changing sides.]]
459* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The leader of the Black Intelligence Brigade of the Innovators, and arguably the best LBX battler amongst the generals of the organization save for Kaidou.
