| 117 | ---- |
| 118 | * BecomingTheMask: Getting to know the Teoti and later becoming corrupted by the Dark Shinkalion leads him to abandon his FakeDefector plan and embrace his Teoti side. |
| 119 | * BlindedByRage: When Shin takes a selfie of happy Setsura to show that she's safe from Valtom, he's so poisoned by Dark Shinkalion he assumes Shin took her hostage as well. |
| 120 | * ChildOfTwoWorlds: As a human-Teoti, he sympathizes with Teoti more, but keeps getting conflicted if he's doing the right thing. |
| 121 | * ChildProdigy: Picked up where his missing father left off in designing the Shinkalion Zs and the Zailiners. |
| 122 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Compared to [[Anime/ShinkansenHenkeiRoboShinkalion Seiryuu]], he is decidedly cold and clinical as the Dark Shinkalion's driver. Additionally, while Seiryuu was a full-blooded Kitoralsus who was fully committed to their cause (at first), Abuto is a HalfHumanHybrid and would-be FakeDefector who gets forced into fulfilling the Teoti's agenda when they take his father hostage. |
| 123 | * DisappearedDad: His father disappeared some time before the show began. His hopes of finding him are what spurs him to make his (seeming) FaceHeelTurn. |
| 124 | * FaceHeelTurn: Defects to the Teoti to drive the Dark Shinkalion, until he turns out to be a FakeDefector. |
| 125 | * FakeDefector: The only reason for his defection was to find his father. Once he finds him, he plans to steal the Dark Shinkalion and head back to the SUEI, only for Astraea to catch onto his scheme and [[IHaveYourWife use his father as a hostage]] to keep him fighting for the Teoti. Then he wound up BecomingTheMask. |
| 126 | * GoodHairEvilHair: When Abuto gets taken over by Dark Shinkalion Devil Mode, he physically changes to be more Teoti-like, with his hair turning from short gray to long black. |
| 127 | * HalfHumanHybrid: With the reveal that his father is a Teoti, it's explained that the Teoti blood in him is what allows him to have his visions. |
| 128 | * HeelFaceTurn: After Shin beats Dark Shinkalion and takes Abuto to Earth, he goes completely back how he used to be. The evolved Dark Shinkalion Absolute [[GoodCostumeSwitch is also mostly white]] ironically. |
| 129 | * NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: Is named after the Japanese pronunciation of the Abt rack railway system, which in turn was named after its inventor, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Roman_Abt Carl Roman Abt]]. |
| 130 | * OurCentaursAreDifferent: The Dark Shinkalion's version of a Z-Combine is the Dark Shinkalion Centaurus. |
| 131 | * ThePowerOfHate: According to Zagan, the Dark Shinkalion is powered by hatred and jealousy. |
| 132 | * RailEnthusiast: He's decidedly more soft-spoken about it than Hayato – [[{{Tsundere}} making it more humorous when he insists he's just appraising them from an engineering standpoint]]. Abuto is also more of a fan of the ''zairaisen'' (conventional trains) whereas Hayato was more of a ''shinkansen'' (bullet train) buff. |
| 133 | * SuperpoweredEvilSide: The Dark Shinkalion's Devil Mode is a stronger version of Dark Shinkalion that feeds on emotions, which even scares its creator, Zagan. |
| 134 | * TrappedInVillainy: His plan to steal the Dark Shinkalion gets kiboshed when Astraea finds out and takes his father hostage. This becomes less of a factor [[BecomingTheMask as he gets to know the Teoti more]]. |
| 135 | * WalkingSpoiler: Hard to discuss him without acknowledging his FaceHeelTurn. |

| 143 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: The stress from [[spoiler:Abuto's leaving]] caused him to block all related memories, which causes problems with Shinkalion for two episodes considering he's a co-pilot. |

| 346 | ---- |

| 348 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: She only knows that Kannagi is trying to re-take Earth for the sake of Teoti. When she happens to meet the SUEI Drivers, she assumes they are allies becuase of how Abuto described them, despite them being enemies of Teoti. |

| 359 | * TakingYouWithMe: Before Kannagi can interfere, Tokonami explodes the bridge and the throne room gets drifted off from Yuggothpeia with them inside. He didn't account for Valtom still being loose though, nor for Kannagi going into extremes to get back. |

| 364 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arabaki.png]] |
| 365 | The God of Destruction sealed by the Blackstones across Japan. |
| 366 | ---- |
| 367 | * AncientEvil: Teoti have sealed Arabaki and resettled to a sattelite until it's the right time to return. That was before there even was humanity on Earth. |
| 368 | * EvilIsNotAToy: [[spoiler:As Valtom monologues how he will be a king of the world once Arabaki destroys the surface, while standing on it, the latter wastes to time and consumes him]]. |
| 369 | * ExtraEyes: The top of its body is covered with eyes. |
| 370 | * FinalBoss: With [[spoiler:Kannagi and Valtom]] no longer being a threat, Arabaki is the last problem remaining and magnitues bigger than either of them. |
| 371 | * GodzillaThreshold: Even Teoti aren't sure if they can seal it a second time, but they'd rather let it destroy the Earthlings than share the planet they believe is rightfully theirs. |
| 372 | * LivingLava: Incomplete Arabaki is a collection of lava-like slimes with CombatTentacles. |
| 373 | * NighInvulnerability: It's unaffected by any attack. Even after finding its weakness to salt, it just quickly regenerates. It required [[spoiler:[[TheCavalry the help of Teoti]]]] to break its roots at the same time and the beam of two ZZ Gran Crosses to kill off. |
| 374 | * SealedEvilInACan: Arabaki is an uncontrollable monster so powerful, Teoti regard it as DestroyerDeity and sealed it with 12 Keystones a long time ago. Now that they want to wipe out humanity, they attempt to break the Keystones one by one. [[spoiler:Which they [[YouCantThwartStageOne eventually do]].]] |
| 375 | * WeaksauceWeakness: With Black Stone being the only thing that harms it (aside a new Shinaklion power-up), Genbu confirms it's regular sea salt. |

| 385 | * ButtMonkey: Compared to last season, Sogyoku just can't do anything right. In Episode 26 Valtom gifts Sogyoku a code so he can summon a Kaiju himself, but wasn't told what he has to stamp the object with it to activate it. Taiju even has to point out that the code was placed on his butt. |
| 386 | * ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Counting the Valhallans in TheMovie, the Teoti are the ''fourth'' group he's aligned himself with. When it becomes apparent that Teoti aren't as tough as they appeared to be, he secretly broadcasts request for help from ''literally anyone'' while still working for them. |
| 387 | * DayInTheLimelight: Episode 16 shows what he was up to between TheMovie and ''Shinkalion Z''. |
| 388 | * ShellShockedVeteran: Having been thwarted by the SUEI's Shinkalions on multiple occasions, his hatred for them is so strong he has started having nightmares about them, and keeps thinking random human conversations are people talking about them.[[note]]For example, when he hears a guy in a bar complaining about "Nozomi" (presumably an ex-girlfriend), Sogyoku thinks he's talking about the Shinkalion [=N700A=] ''[[OneSteveLimit Nozomi]]''[[/note]] |
| 389 | * WildCard: Anyone who's watched the last show knows that Sogyoku has no issues with changing allegiance when it suits him. About the only thing all the factions he's sided with have in common is that the they all violently antagonize humanity. |
| 390 | * TheWorfEffect: Fights Shin and Ginga, but aside of the smoke gimmick, he goes down faster than any MonsterOfTheWeek. He managed to survive though. |

| 396 | ---- |
| 397 | * HeelRealization: He gets a flashback of Isa talking how the flow of the world is to be decided by the youth. He still [[ReformedButNotTamed couldn't care less]] about humans, but blesses the young Drivers. |
| 398 | * HumansAreBastards: His time walking among humanity has convinced him of this, and flashbacks with Zagan show that he felt that humans, Kitoralsus and Teoti couldn't coexist unless the less numerous side held the bigger guns. |
| 399 | * MoreThanMindControl: Astraea forcibly transforms him into a Giant Monstrous Being, but he's such a misanthrope he doesn't resist. |
| 400 | * RetiredMonster: Once the FinalBoss of [[Anime/ShinkansenHenkeiRoboShinkalion the previous show]], he now cares neither for the new Team Shinkalion nor their new enemy, and decides to just sit back. |
