7	->Voiced by: Creator/TakehitoKoyasu (Japanese), Creator/RomiPark (Japanese, child), Creator/AndrewLove (English), Ferso Velázquez (Latin American Spanish), Héctor Ireta de Alba (Latin American Spanish, child)
8	[[quoteright:311:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/adam_blade.png]]
9
10	The only successful result of an experiment by the Japanese government and the 666 Committee to create a clone of "The Second." Spends his time hiding out in a church, wearing the jacket of a priest even though he has no knowledge of the bible, the priesthood, or anything outside of fighting really. His only weakness is his admitted love of little girls. Adam Blade has the Zero Fragment, which gives him the ability to memorize any power he is hit with and then use it on his own.
11	----
12	* AndThisIsFor: Did this to Setsuna; he gave her a series of strikes for his closer friends, grouped everyone together for another round, and then [[spoiler: lightly tapped her on the arm]] for Cruz.
13	* AntiHero: He's pretty much universally recognized as the strongest Needless and the one who will bring humanity to salvation, but he abuses his powers and the perks they give him for all they're worth and is generally a brutish asshole.
14	* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler: He does this like Saten and Arclight, which leads to open the gate to where the Angels are.]]
15	* AxCrazy: He'd easily be the villain too based on his fights.
16	* BadassLongcoat: He's a badass wearing a slightly battered black longcoat.
17	* BadassPreacher: He's a destroyer priest who lives in the church in Sector 533.
18	* CannibalismSuperpower: [[spoiler: Devours the invading angel and awakens into a God.]]
19	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: He acts much more subdued and calm with a bit of a temper in the first episode. From the second episode onwards, he gets gradually more [[{{Jerkass}} unpleasant]], openly perverted, and acting just as inane as the rest of the heroes. He shows bits of his initial traits briefly during the Seto/Solva flashback, but this vanishes when it's back in the present.
20	* CloneJesus: He's a clone of the strongest Needless, [[CrystalDragonJesus "The Second Christ"]].
21	* CoolShades: Lost them for a while after Arclight blew everything up, but regained them by the Eve's Story arc.
22	* FusionDance: [[spoiler:He fuses with Eve in the final chapter, complete with GenderBender.]]
23	* GenderBender: [[spoiler:His fusion with Eve results in a female version of Adam with Eve's body figure.]]
24	* HeroicComedicSociopath: He has very little empathy for others and is incredibly violent and self centered, though he tends to clean up his act quite a bit when the situation gets more serious.
25	* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Eve comes up to only about half of his torso.
26	* IfItsYouItsOkay: Though briefly [[UnsettlingGenderReveal catatonic]], he decides Cruz dressed as a girl is cute enough to unreservedly lust after. [[spoiler:That said, he'd prefer Cruz to be female, and takes the first opportunity [[GenderBender to act on it]].]]
27	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He exclusively refers to his allies as minions, sexually harasses the female ones and treats the male ones like garbage. He does show rarely that care deeply for Eve as well as his comrades to an extent.
28	* MegaManning: His Needless Ability allows him to copy the abilities of other Needless after observing them once. While he perfectly replicates them, certain abilities, like Eve's shapeshifting, are too taxing on his body for him to pull off as effectively as the original user.
29	* MrFanservice: He's good looking and has a ridiculously chiseled physique, which he shows off in glorious detail in the first opening sequence.
30	* NonPOVProtagonist: Indisputably the main character of the series, though the story is told from Cruz's perspective. As a result, we almost never get to hear his thoughts or learn the reasoning behind his actions and he overall remains a pretty big enigma.
31	* NoShirtLongJacket: He wears no shirt with his BadassLongcoat.
32	* NunTooHoly: He dresses as a priest but isn't one. Why Cruz calls him "Father" still is beyond anyone.
33	* OutOfCharacterMoment: For the entirety of his adventures with Seto when they first met Solva, while retaining his usual lolicon flaw, Blade acts much more level-headed, supportive and calm. This stands out to his usual HotBlooded, [[{{Jerkass}} completely selfless]] and often deranged behavior most of the time.
34	* PhysicalGod: [[spoiler:Awakens to his godly power after devouring a angel in chapter 112.]]
35	* PowerPerversionPotential: [[spoiler: The first use he makes of his Godly power? Why turn Cruz into a girl! Then after that, resurrect Solva and Seto... NAKED! In the last chapter, he seemingly make his dream that women would wear only socks into a reality as well.]]
36	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Manly Man to Cruz's Sensitive Guy.
37	* SuperToughness: Being a clone of The Second, he has a skeletal structure attached with a special metal called Orihalcum, making him take less damage than any other human.
38	* UsedToBeASweetKid: Implied to be [[spoiler: Saten and Cruz's fault for making him a pervert]], but he was already getting to be the Blade we know in the Eve's Story Arc.

41	[[folder:Eve Nueschwanstein]]
42	->Voiced by: Creator/EriKitamura (Japanese), Creator/BrittneyKarbowski (English), Erika Langarica (Latin American Spanish)
43	[[quoteright:264:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eve_nueschwanstein.png]]
44
45	Adam Blade's only real friend in this world and terrible with remembering anyone else's name. Eve has the "Doppelganger" ability, which allows her to morph her body into any shape or form. She can heal herself and others from most damage and impersonate other people, but this power is offset by a constant need for calories to balance the drain this power puts on her body.
46	----
47	* ActionGirl: One of the biggest ones in the series.
48	* BadassInDistress: Got this on her three times; once in the past [[spoiler: when she melted and became just a brain]], another time during the Simeon Arc (which actually caused the heroes to go there in the first place), and one more [[spoiler: when she began to melt again and had to get Eden's Seed injected into her.]]
49	* BrainTransplant: [[spoiler:After a accident that would slowly kill Kasumi, her sister gave half of her brain to her while Blade gave a part of his to her later]].
50	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: When she was suffering from Black Attraction.]]
51	* CastFromCalories: Her shapeshifting powers run on calories.
52	* {{Deuteragonist}}: The most important character in the series after Blade.
53	* TheDitz: She's horrible with names, falls for obvious traps and can't keep up with exposition at all.
54	* FusionDance: [[spoiler:She fuses with Adam in the final chapter.]]
55	* HealingFactor: Thanks to Doppelganger, she can heal anyone. This skill is handy, as she's the only medic on the team.
56	* LosingYourHead: [[spoiler: Got her head ripped off by Gido.]]
57	* MoralityPet: Pretty much the only person Blade cares about besides himself. Whenever her life is in danger, Blade is at his most heroic.
58	* MsFanservice: She always wears nothing, but a very revealing midriff exposing attire, shows off her legs and is often the victim of losing her clothes to expose to cause her figure to even more more revealing than it's already is.
59	* ThisIsADrill: Her main weapon is a drill.
60	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Her Fragment "Doppelganger" gives her the ability to shapeshift into anything.
61	[[/folder]]

65	[[quoteright:226:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cruz_schild.png]]
66
67	The only survivor of the short lived Resistance movement in the Black Spot, Cruz is a normal person who lacks any Needless ability. So he makes up for it by talking to and analyzing other Needless.
68	----
69	* AccidentalMisnaming: He is often referred to as "Yamada" since Eve couldn't remember his name.
70	* ActionSurvivor: He's good at thinking on his feet and staying alive. [[spoiler: Chapter 100 reveals he had a Fragment that allowed him to escape danger.]]
71	* AdorablyPrecociousChild: He acts as the sensible, mature voice of reason to the insanity of his childish and insane colleagues. Justified as being in the Black Spot forced him to mature much more quickly.
72	* AttackReflector: [[spoiler:His ability as a Needless allows to repel any attack with his hand and is named Shield of Aegis.]]
73	* AttractiveBentGender: Just about every member of the cast is attracted to Cruz when he is DraggedIntoDrag and [[spoiler: the whole cast wants for Cruz to stay a girl after he undergoes a GenderBender.]]
74	* AwesomenessByAnalysis: His innate talent is figuring out the enemies' weaknesses through observation and delivering that information to his colleagues. Something he and his sister share.
75	* TheChewToy: He seems to get the worst luck imaginable. He's misnamed by his colleagues, often forced into servitude and being the brunt of abuse. It's not nearly as bad as what happens to him in the manga.
76	* CosmicPlaything: The universe seems to go out of its way to torment Cruz on every opportunity on top of the usual abuse he gets. His sister turns out to not only had faked her death, but is also one of Simeon's Four Great Ones- nearly killing him on the first opportunity post- reveal. [[spoiler: It gets worse in the manga. He's then forced to crossdress, which gets the attention of Blade to his horror, leading to him now wearing it all the time. Cruz then sees his sister dies and is then permanently turned into a girl against his will by Blade, with everyone shutting down his decision to reverse it.]]
77	* DisguisedInDrag: He initially dons the girls' uniform of St. Rose Academy in order to stay incognito (a plan his allies put into effect before he agrees to it). After leaving there, [[FirstLawOfGenderBending he continues wearing it for multiple reasons]] -- his old clothes were thrown away, he's wanted and needs a disguise, and everyone prefers that he continue dressing like a girl anyway.
78	* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Blade certainly likes cross-dressing Cruz, [[spoiler: even when he's young.]]
79	* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler: In order: he stopped his sister from killing him (not Arclight's orders), the PF Zero Blast was stated to have the power to kill anyone ''not'' a Needless that was caught in the blast, he stopped a Testament without even touching it, blocked deadly rain, and time after time he not only stayed away from any near death status, save for one time, but he had somehow survived any attack meant to kill him, like Setsuna's slap that should've broken his neck twice.]]
80	* GenderBender: [[spoiler: Is turned by Blade into a girl after he acquires his powers as a god.]]
81	* GirlishPigtails: He uses hair extensions when dressed as a girl, making him look even more feminine.
82	* HeroicBSOD: Upon learning that his sister [[spoiler: was a traitor]].
83	* HeroicSacrifice: Constantly tries to pull this and even gives sappy little lines when he thinks he's about to die. Thankfully, he hasn't fallen yet.
84	* IAmNotLeftHanded:[[spoiler: Revealed to be a Needless as of chapter 100.]]
85	* OnlySaneMan: Up until the Eve's Story Arc, where [[spoiler: Saten]] and he pass this back and forth.
86	* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: He started wearing the St. Rose Academy girls' uniform when attending classes there, [[EnforcedTrope and never got the opportunity to change into anything else]] (barring when he was briefly disguised as his sister).
87	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Sensitive Guy to Blade's Manly Man.
88	* SupportingProtagonist: Despite being the central viewpoint character, the series is really about Blade and Eve.
89	* {{Tritagonist}}: Despite being the viewpoint character, his plot line is clearly secondary to Blade and Eve's.
90	* TookALevelInBadass:[[spoiler: After discovering his power.]]
91	* WholesomeCrossdresser: Initially dresses as a girl to survive at a school, but then circumstances conspire to make sure he remains that way.

97
98	A scientist who worked on the project that ended up creating Adam Blade and Adam Arclight, he generally tags along with the group and tries to care for Adam Blade but usually gets shoved into the background.
99	----
100	* AdaptationalHeroism: Due to the anime never reaching the point in the manga where it's revealed [[spoiler:he's actually the leader of the 666 committee, using Blade and everyone for his own ambitions]]. He's portrayed as a good person and genuinely a caring, if not flawed parent figure.
101	* BaldOfEvil: [[spoiler:He's bald and later he reveals that he is in fact the leader of the 666 committee.]]
102	* EvilAllAlong: In the manga, he's initially portrayed as a wise advisor to the team and Blade's father figure. [[spoiler:It's revealed near the end of the manga that he not only is using Blade for his own ambitions, but also is the true leader of the 666 committee behind Arclight.]]
103	* FountainOfYouth: [[spoiler: Once he activates his Adam powers his body becomes more youthful.]]
104	* InTheBack: [[spoiler: Stabs Blade from behind to reveal his role as the leader of Triple 6.]]
105	* LoveMakesYouEvil:[[spoiler: His desire to save Kasumi has led him to join the 666 committee he hated.]]
106	* TheMole: [[spoiler:It's later revealed that he used Blade to achieve his own ambitions. Working within Blade's group in order to get his own ambitions as the leader of the Triple Six committee achieved.]]

108	* PowerAtAPrice: [[spoiler:The price of activating his Adam power is that his body will eventually fall apart. Hasn't happened yet though.]]
109	* WalkingSpoiler: Just see how many entries are white.

117	----
118	* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:He's resurrected as a clone and then brought back as the original.]]
119	* BigOlEyebrows: He has a pair of thick and spiky eyebrows.
120	* ButtMonkey: He's the most frequent victim of slapstick in the series.
121	* CameBackStrong: [[spoiler:Both his clone and the original as they bear Stigmata.]]
122	* AGodAmI: Teruyama is very prideful of his abilities, but never claims he's anything close to a god. [[spoiler: Played straight with his clone, however.]]
123	* HotBlooded: As befitting of his fiery power, he's very passionate and is able to keep up with the hamminess of the other characters.
124	* TheOneGuy: [[spoiler: At the end of the series, Gido and Saten are both dead and Blade and Cruz have both undergone gender bending, making him the only male on the main team.]]

131
132	A robot that contains many centuries of knowledge stored in the form of a little, white-haired girl. An information broker who joins Blade and his crew early on.

135	* GirlishPigtails: She's a young girl wearing her hair in two big pigtails.
136	* MoreDakka: Along with {{BFG}}, she had once use this.

139	* RobotGirl: Apparently a Cyborg, but she's managed to survive with only [[spoiler: her head.]]
140	* TheSmartGirl: she's the most tech savvy and knowledgeable of the group. Justified as she had a century and the ability to gain information to become that knowledgeable.
141	[[/folder]]
142
143	[[folder:Seto]]
144	->Voiced by: Creator/KaoriFukuhara (Japanese), Creator/MaggieFlecknoe (English), Alejandra Delint (Latin American Spanish)
145	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/seto_needless.png]]
146
147	One of Adam Blade's old comrade's who wields a {{BFS}} and calls herself a "''shinigami''" (God of Death). She has a love of money. Her Needless power is Graviton, the ability to manipulate gravity.
148	----
149	* AntiHero: She's not too bad of a person, but she's completely selfish and greedy and is willing to do whatever it takes to make a quick buck.
150	* GravityMaster: Her Fragment allows gravity control.
151	* {{Greed}}: Big time, yet downplayed. Her dream is to be rich, and the only reason she met Kana was because she was promised money. Even then though, she barely mentions being greedy during her appearances, and you'd only know this if you read Chapter 0.
152	* {{Shinigami}}: Subverted. She is actually playing that role base from her powers itself.
153	* ThoseTwoGirls: She's always around Solva, serving as a duo that are almost never seen apart.
154	[[/folder]]
155
156	[[folder:Solva]]

161	----
162	* AntiHero: She's the only unambiguously evil character on Blade's party with ambitions to rule as a tyrant over the Black Spot. She is on the heroes' side due to Simeon being worse than her and needing them to be gone to achieve her own ambitions.
163	* BaitTheDog: Cute, up until she reveals her Fragment.
164	* EveryoneHasStandards: Even with being the ambitious, deceptive and evil, even she finds Simeon to be worse than her.
165	* MagnetismManipulation: [[CuteandPsycho Solva]] has Magnetism as her power, which works likes the ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' Gravity Gun, except it allows her attract/repel ''anything'' since it's specifically [[HandWave the power]] to create a "[[HollywoodMagnetism unique magnetic field]]".
166	* ThoseTwoGirls: With Seto, being always with her in spite of their differing ideologies. They're almost never seen apart from each other.
167	* TokenEvilTeammate: Especially her alternate personality. Not that the heroes are much more heroic.

173	[[quoteright:299:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/adam_arclight.png]]
174
175	The EvilCounterpart of Adam Blade, who was considered the last failure of the same project that produced Adam Blade. Even though he carries the same ability to absorb any other Needless ability in the vicinity, Arclight's body has been decaying due to a genetic defect. So he has taken control of the pharmaceutical company Simeon in Black Spot to find a way to keep his body from literally falling apart.
176	----
177	* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:Surprisingly enough, while he is by no means a heroic person and does many cruel things he does want to ensure the survival of the human race by evolving as many as he can to prepare for the eventually Angel Invasion.]]
178	* BigBad: Though there's the organization assisting him, Arclight's the main focus.
179	* BodyHorror: ''Far'' too frequently, from [[spoiler: originally being wrinkled and skinless]] to being to produce tentacles that look like organs.
180	* EvilCounterpart: Pretty clearly set up as Blade's.
181	* ExpendableClone: [[spoiler: His purpose as a clone of Adam Aclight.]]
182	* FakeMemories: [[spoiler:Only some of his memories come from the original Adam Arclight.]]
183	* AGodAmI: He believes due to having the power of Adam and possessing the Zero Fragment, it allows him to rule as a god over the masses. In his case, he also views it in terms of being the UltimateLifeForm as well.
184	* {{Gorn}}: Constantly causes this.
185	* HealingFactor: Unlike Blade, Arclight can heal himself from virtually any wound.
186	* ImAHumanitarian: In one memorable instance, he devours a would-be group of rebels into his body after impaling them via tentacles.
187	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: People think they can kill him this way.
188	* KillItWithFire: [[spoiler: What he does to Aruka.]]
189	* LovecraftianSuperPower: He's weaponized his BodyHorror.
190	* MegaManning: he can copy others' fragments and make them even more powerful.
191	* OneWingedAngel:[[spoiler: Absorbs a alien/angel in the manga to become closer to God.]]. [[spoiler: Becomes a ClippedWingAngle when his body starts faling apart]]
192	* TheRival: To Blade.
193	* StraightMan: He has participated in gags, but he's useless when telling one. He's often reacting to the insanity of the quirky cast with stoic tolerance or annoyance.
194	* VisionaryVillain: Though he argues he's already become God, he wants to [[GottaCatchEmAll collect all the Fragments]] there are to become the Second Christ.
195	* WellIntentionedExtremist:[[spoiler: He wants to ensure mankind will survive and be able to fight against the Angels, which has the unfortunate side effect of killing off most of mankind. Though if they don't do this the Angels will [[SadisticChoice spread the Eden's seed and kill off most of mankind anyways]].]]
196	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: Has this inflicted upon him by Gido and Saten in chapter 109. His body then starts falling apart.]]
197	[[/folder]]

202
203	A Needless with the power of "psychokinesis" who was a gang leader somewhere in Black Spot until she was defeated by Arclight. Since that day, she has become fanatically devoted to him. She also leads Simeon's "Pretty Girl Squad." One of Simeon's "Elite Four."

206	* CoDragons: Alongside Saten.
207	* EatenAlive: [[spoiler: At the end of the manga, she by her own Pretty Girl Squad, controlled by Saten.]]
208	* PsychicPowers: Her fragment allows her the most potent psychic powers in the series.
209	* {{Retcon}}: [[spoiler:The reveal that she's an Eve contradicts how, in a bonus chapter, she was a normal, though powerful, Needless who had a cult following and never even heard of Arclight before he found her.]]
210	* TheReveal: [[spoiler: Revealed to be an Eve and the [[AdamAndEvePlot counterpart to Arclight]].]]
211	* SexySlitDress: She wears a dress with a high slit up the thigh.
212	* SuperpowerLottery: Her power makes it impossible for any of Team Blade [[spoiler: except Cruz]] to fight her.

214	* VaporWear: In not one of her costumes does she seem to wear underwear.
215	[[/folder]]
216
217	[[folder:Saten]]
218	->Voiced by: Creator/KishowTaniyama (Japanese), Leraldo Anzaldua (English), Jaime Collepardo (Latin American Spanish)
219	[[quoteright:333:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/saten_needless.png]]
220
221	A Needless with the power of the "Fourth Wave," or the ability to suck up heat from his surrounding area and then unleash it in a focused blast from his arms. Technically one of Simeon's "Elite Four," though he has been hiding information from Arclight for his own secret reasons.
222	----
223	* AntiHero: He's still on the side of Simeon, but he's shown he's not that bad a guy. He held back against Eve, allowed her to knock him out and heal her dying friends, [[spoiler: and without his help, the Eve Story Arc probably would've ended with either Cruz or Blade dying.]]
224	* BigBad: [[spoiler:At the end of the anime. In the manga, [[BigBadDuumvirate he shares the role with Gido.]]]]
225	* CoDragons: Alongside Riru.
226	* CloneJesus: [[spoiler:The Real Adam Arclight in the manga.]]
227	* DragonWithAnAgenda: [[spoiler: His loyalty lies with Gido, rather than Arclight]]
228	* ElementalAbsorption: The Fourth Wave ability. He's learned how to not only absorb heat, but he can cast it in such a way that looks like he has four Fragments.
229	* EnigmaticMinion: It's hard to tell whose side he is on.
230	* GodhoodSeeker: [[spoiler: After revealing himself to be the real Adam Arclight, he then reveals he plans on going directly to the Angels Galaxy in order to become a complete God.]]
231	* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Switches sides constantly later on in the series, though ultimately his only allegiance is to himself.
232	* IAmNotLeftHanded: [[spoiler: His strongest power is the "Fifth Wave".]]
233	* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler: Or at the very least he created Arclight just so he could [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness fall apart]] when him and Gido act on their plans]].
234	* MonochromaticEyes: More often than not his eyes are [[ProphetEyes blank]], but when he's in deep thought or on some close-ups, he'll magically gain irises and pupils. Averted in the anime; [[spoiler: turns out he has [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]].]]
235	* PointlessBandAid: Lampshaded in the Eve's Story Arc
236	[[/folder]]

238	[[folder:Uten]]
239	->Voiced by: Creator/MayumiYamaguchi (Japanese), Creator/GregAyres (English), Alex Villamar (Latin American Spanish)
240	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/uten_needless.png]]
241
242	A little boy who's obsessed with magic. His Fragment is "Bermuda Athport", which allows him to turn things invisible. Another of Simeon's "Elite Four", though the title "Uten" is actually passed down from person to person,
243	----
244	* AxCrazy: [[spoiler: His clone is really unhinged since getting a stigmata.]]
245	* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:He's brought back to life as a Clone.]]
246	* CameBackStrong: [[spoiler:His clone.]]
247	* CharacterCatchphrase: "It's magic~!"
248	* DiscOneFinalBoss: In the anime, he's the first of Simeon's Shitennou they faced and had a power that essentially made him a PuzzleBoss compared to the more direct combat applications of the other three's fragments.
249	* SmugSnake: Compared to the other members of the Elite Four, he relies heavily on the fact that people can't figure out the true nature of his Fragment, being overly smug about it and becomes cowardly once he's exposed, with nothing else he can defend himself with.
250	* StageMagician; his schtick, using invisible trickery to pretend he's a reality warping god. Eve and Cruz even refer to him as this when his trick is exposed.
251	* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: [[spoiler:Most of those who bear Stigmata are driven insane by it.]]

266	* SendInTheClones: [[spoiler:Arclight cloned a army of young Arukas]].

271	!Pretty Girl Squad
272	The QuirkyMinibossSquad. They are three students who follow Riru directly, and are in charge of getting Blade's body to Arclight so he may survive. There's more like an entire army of "Pretty Girl Squad" members, but we see the most action from these three.

285
286	The leader of her trio of "Pretty Girl Squad" with Mio and Kuchinashi.
287	----
288	* FragileSpeedster: While she is fast, her fights with Eve and Blade prove she isn't particularly strong.
289	%%* FriendlyEnemy: Is one to Cruz.
290	* GreenEyedMonster: Is jealous that she didn't receive a Stigmata while [[spoiler:a member of Team Blade, Teruyama, received one]].

298
299	One of the recurring characters from Simeon's "Pretty Girl Squad." She carries around a deceptively-heavy teddy bear.
300	----
301	* AffablyEvil: Out of the trio, she's the most genuinely friendly in spite of being a loyal killer of Simeon. She even aids Cruz for a decent while, and develops a friendship with him that causes her to feel conflicted on her duties and her newfound bonds.
302	* AssKicksYou: Her most common move, Mio-chan Hip Attack.
303	* ChildrenAreCruel: She acts like and seems to be a little child, but in the manga, she eviscerated a fellow girl squad member because she started a fight.
304	* CuteBruiser: She's as cute as a button, but can also easily crush you.
305	* EnemyMine: After the events at the Simeon building, she stumbles across Cruz and walks the wastelands with him.
306	* FaceHeelRevolvingDoor: As a result of befriending Cruz, she has a hard time choosing between being with him and being with her friends. [[spoiler: In the end, she joins Adam Blade's side.]]
307	* GenkiGirl: She's almost always happy and energic.
308	* IconicOutfit: In-universe: Her bear panties. This stops Mio and Disk from attacking the cross-dressing Cruz, since Setsuna gave him several pairs to give to Mio.
309	* LittleMissBadass: She's not in the girl squad without a reason.
310	* NiceGirl: Despite being enemies, she is sweet to a fault. She even helped Cruz recover after the Simeon building was destroyed.
311	* SuperStrength: She has the Needless power of "Power". Just like it sounds, she has the power of super-strength.

321	* IfItsYouItsOkay: Like Blade she feels this way towards WholesomeCrossdresser Yamada.
322	* LipstickLesbian: She's elegant, feminine, and very open about her affections toward women.
323	* LotusEaterMachine:[[spoiler: Her ultimate attack, which allows people to see their greatest and/or happiest dream. Eve dreamed of correctly guessing everyone's name, Cruz dreamed of seeing his (nicer) sister, Teruyama dreamed of defeating both Blade and Arclight, Gido dreamed of seeing his long-lost assistant who he loved, Seto dreamed of being rich, and Solva dreamed of ruling the world. Disc wasn't affected due to being a Cyborg, and Blade "was already in paradise".]]
324	* MeaningfulName: Her name literally means "no mouth", referencing the fact that she chooses to never speak.
325	* TalkingWithSigns: She writes what she wants to say on a notepad.
