7
8	* BadassBookworm: We first meet Takeru when he is in the middle of reading [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Being_and_Time "Being and Time"]].
9	* BefriendingTheEnemy: Tries to befriend Mythos after he was arrested at the start of Season 2, mostly to get him to interact and others, to just use his knowledge. He doesn't mind.
10	* BrokenPedestal: He certainly didn't took [[spoiler:the reveal of Inagi's corruption]] very well.
11	* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a scar on his left cheek. Season 2 reveals he got it back when he was a teenager and a criminal slashed him with a knife when he refused to join a criminal gang. The scar reminds him of his bad decisions in his youth and his decision to turn over a new leaf.
12	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Hilariously subverted in the finale. It appears Takeru will sacrifice his life to stop Hachijou's plan but Mythos had earlier warned him that Hachijou would have Willwears guarding the satellite and given information on how to return to Earth safely.]]
13	* HotBlooded: A lot more enthusiastic about his job than Sena.
14	* {{Jetpack}}: The Oscar II is equipped with one, complete with a set of wings. In the series finale, it's the only Willwear capable of flying into space.
15	* PurelyAestheticGlasses: Taking them off doesn't seem to impair his sight.
16	* RedIsHeroic: His armor has red accents.
17	* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Sena's blue. Bonus points for his eyes and his Oscar II's [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience coloring]].
18	* StockShonenHero: He's playful, impulsive, believes in justice for all and is associated with the red color. He even shows mercy to Mythos in the season 1 finale.

23	-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakahiroSakurai
24
25	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: He was one of the best students of his class during his training days at the USDF academy, but was routinely outclassed by his girlfriend Miho.
26	%% Doesn't expalin what the reaction is.* BerserkButton: People making a mess of other peoples trash.
27	* FriendlySniper: Shooting was the one skill he consistently performed better at than Miho. The second season begins with Unit 8 having to more or less conscript his services again due to their lack of a sniper.
28	* HiddenDepths: According to Miho, he's knowledgeable on Italian cuisine, including wines.
29	* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Kuroki's red. Naturally, Sena's Oscar I has the [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience appropriate color]] as well as his eyes.
30	* TenMinuteRetirement: In season 2, he has left the police for a career in the private sector heading a garbage disposal company. However he's quickly roped back into Unit 8 when they need his sniping skills to take out an enemy Willwear, as well as the fact that legislative changes have given the police much more flexibility in working with civilian consultants, which is what he legally is now.
31	* WorkingWithTheEx: In Episode 8, he had to work together with his [[MakeUpOrBreakUp ex-(ex-ex-ex-)]]girlfriend Miho to take out a bomb planted in an abandoned building.

41	* PinkIsFeminine: Her "Oscar 3" Willwear is pink.
42	* RailEnthusiast: Episode 7 establishes her as one.

71	** TheBusCameBack: She makes her reappearance in "Absolute Peeping Declaration", having left the police force and is now running a private investigative agency.
72	* HiddenBuxom: As her Chinese dress in episode 5 reveals, Madoka's normal attire does an amazing job hiding her bust size. And again in S2 episode 7.
73	* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:She's the legendary gambler Bloody Mary.]]

75	* TheSmartGirl: As the Unit's resident hacker.

86
87	[[folder:Emilia Edelman]]
88	-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukariTamura
89
90	* ActionGirl: She uses the Oscar VII Willwear, though [[spoiler:she's too traumatised to use it effectively until Takeru helps her out.]]
91	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Suffered from PTSD while participating in trial operations for the Centaur-type Willwear being trapped in the suit for three whole days before finally being rescued. It was bad to the point that the Policja considered dumping her to Japan to prevent her condition from making things worse in Poland.
92	* FairCop: Emilia's on loan from the Policja.
93	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: As expected of a law-abiding cop.
94	* NewMeat: Assigned to Unit 8 as part of a deal between the Policja and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police. Possibly as a replacement for Azami.

101	* NewMeat: Recently assigned to Unit 8. Possibly as a replacement for Madoka.

108	-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AriOzawa
109
110	* ActionGirl: As the user of the "Oscar 6" Willwear.
111	* BadBoss: PlayedForLaughs with how she commands Unit 9 after she relocates to Osaka.
112	* ByTheBookCop: Wants to be this, but Unit 8's reputation and actions to take down criminals/terrorists results in her being treated like a CowboyCop. However, after gaining command of her own unit, she has now graduated to a full-on CowboyCop.
113	* ButtMonkey: Despite Asami's arrogance of her own skills and her beliefs of Unit 8's incompetence, so far in the first three episodes she's been the center of many terrible public screw ups, like destroying a school and being videotaped dancing to a J-Pop song in her Willwear (in context it was to distract a disturbed criminal while the other units' willwears were repaired). As a result she has to repeatedly write various apology letters.
114	* DemotedToExtra: She starts off in Season 1 as arguably the POV character, but near the tail end Kuroki and Sena start taking the main focus. By Season 2, Kuroki takes Asami's place as the main character and Asami herself becomes a minor supporting character.
115	* DestructiveSavior: Ironically enough, her own Unit 9 causes way more damage than Unit 8 ever did as they perform their duties. She even is willing to use deadly force just to go after a peeping tom in "Absolute Peeping Declaration".
116	* GratuitousEnglish: Asami will often interject English while talking. [[AllThereInTheManual She lived overseas for a while, so she learned English as a second language.]]
117	* HypocriticalHumor: As leader of Unit 9, she engages in the same nutty behavior she couldn't stand when she was liaising with Unit 8. It gets [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in episode 7 of season 2 when she furiously declares that she's going back to [[http://i.imgur.com/PRs0izC.jpg "old-school Unit 8."]]
118	* InternalAffairs: It's implied that she was with Unit 8 to straighten up the unit so that they don't do their job recklessly.
119	* JerkassRealization: In the final episode, she realizes how arrogant she has been and how unprepared she truly was to lead Unit 9.
120	* MaleGaze: Her rear tends to get focused.
121	* NewMeat: She was recently assigned to the unit 8 in season one by the NPA.
122	* PrecisionFStrike: In episode 10, she lets out a furious "GOD DAMN" in her trademark GratuitousEnglish after receiving the bad news about Unit 8 being disbanded.
123	** In episode 3 of Season 2, she tells Emilia, to "Shut up you little shit". Again in episode 7 to one of her Fingers.
124	* PutOnABus: As of season 2, she's gotten the promotion she long coveted and now leads Unit 9 working in Western Japan, based in Osaka. However, she and her squad show up in the 4th episode to deal with a case in place of Unit 8 (as everyone save Funasaka caught the flu). and they continue to make regular appearances after that.
125	* RabidCop: PlayedForLaughs in "Absolute Peeping Declaration" [[http://i.imgur.com/TKOaTMK.jpg when she gets the chance to take down the]] [[ThePeepingTom voyeur]] who's been taking half-naked pictures of herself and all the other girls in Units 8 and 9.

133	* TheEngineer: Same deal as Unit 8's.
134	* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Again, he's in the same boat as Unit 8's 'Kyokai', though he makes it worse by having almost the same designation as the former, with only the honorifics to differentiate them.

147	-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AkenoWatanabe
148
149	* TheAce: She was the top of her class in the USDF academy. The only thing she wasn't the best at was at shooting: that honor went to her boyfriend Souichirou.
150	* ActionGirl: Come with the territory of being a USDF soldier [[spoiler:And the lone pilot of the USDF's Willwear "Senbukai" unit.]]
151	* BreakTheHaughty: After spending the entirety of episode 8 upstaging and badmouthing Unit 8, Miho ends up biting more than she can chew when [[spoiler:Logos hijacks her Willwear and forces her to attack Sena, jeopardizing her career in the military. The episode ends with her fending off questions from reporters with a concerned Sena watching from a TV screen.]]
152	* TheMasochismTango: Season 2 indicates that she would really like to get back together with Souichirou again, despite the fact that they've gone through 4 breakups with each other already. Souichirou so far doesn't want to do it.
153	* WorkingWithTheEx: Miho worked together with Sena to take out a bomb planted in an abandoned building.
