| 17 | ** Captain was built specifically to defend Neotopia from the Dark Axis. |
| 18 | ** Zero was prophesied by Princess Rele as the one who would restore Lacroa. |
| 19 | ** Lord Buritenmaru hoped that Bakunetsumaru would someday by worthy of wearing the Baku Shin Armor and bringing peace to Ark. |

| 31 | Shute is a kid genius from Neotopia. He's impulsive and sometimes irritating, however his boundless enthusiasm can be an asset. It was his friendship with Captain that first got the Soul Drive to activate. He's got a lot of guts and little common sense but he's also super smart, so it balances out. |

Captain Gundam needs Shute's encouragement to power up his Soul Drive and use his [[MegatonPunch Captain Punch]] attack, [[spoiler:though everyone else's support work just as well later on]]. [=SDG=] recognizes the necessity of their interactions so they let Shute be the TagalongKid. |

| 39 | * DistressedDude: Shute spends most of the Ark episodes a prisoner of Kibaomaru, along with Princess Rele. |
| 40 | * FutureMeScaresMe: [[spoiler: In the final battle with The General, he's captured and seemingly sent into a BadFuture where his older self has given up his vales about robots and tries to tell him to give up on them. Needless to say Shute has a hard time believing his older self is saying that and rightly figures it's not real.]] |
| 41 | * HumansAreGood: He tells this to the bad guys all the time. Turns out he's right. |

| 46 | * TokenHuman: Before Rele came along, he was the Gundam Force 'Honorary Gundam'. |
| 47 | * TrueCompanions: Shute treats the whole SD Force as this. |

Once he makes friends with Shute and the other Gundams he gets better at it. Eventually the Captain needed repairs and gets an upgrade. Not that he wasn't a badass before mind you. |

| 66 | * {{Flight}}: Although Captain's normal boosters are good for leaps, he has several "Upgrades" that allow him full flying capabilities; |
| 67 | ** When Cobramaru was about to destroy Blanc Base in Episode 18, Captain was equipped with booster rockets so he could fly up and stop him. These boosters ran out of power though, and were never used again. |

| 73 | * MidSeasonUpgrade: Has had two; |
| 74 | ** After his normal backpack was destroyed by General in Episode 27, Captain switched to his Option V, which included more powerful boosters, and laser cannons that could be fitted together to act as a extending pole. |
| 75 | ** After being badly damaged by Professor Gerbera, Captain's entire body structure was improved by Kao Lyn, giving him new weapons and a [[SuperMode Hyper mode]]. |
| 76 | * PowerOfFriendship: He literally runs on this. His Soul Drive was activated from Shute's kindness and friendship, and their bond is what gives it power. |
| 77 | * StraightMan: By nature of being straight laced in contrast to the other two Gundams more out there personalities. |
| 78 | * SuperMode: Captain, amazingly, has had ''two'' of them; |
| 79 | ** The first is Heavy Weapons mode, which he used in his battle against Sazabi; this is essentially Captain, but with more powerful weapons equipped, including stronger boosters and missile launchers. He can also turn into Gunvehicle mode, where he shifts his body configuration into a cart-like state that he uses to ram into Sazabi. |
| 80 | ** In Episode 49, when his normal Hyper form isn't enough to beat [[spoiler: Madnug]], the S.D.G sends Option Z, a giant rocket of a backpack that's armed with missile launchers, a more powerful ray gun, gatling guns, the works. |
| 81 | * TakingTheBullet: Since Captain is the only member of the team who is fully mechanical, he doesn't hesitate to block someone from harm with his own body as he can be repaired later. |
| 82 | * TookALevelInBadass: Once he was so badly damaged that he got a whole new look. With some awesome new weapons to go with it. |

Same can be said of some of the Zako Zako Hour characters: the hosts all hold microphones with different heads (red circular mic, blue square mic, yellow triangular mic) and the Chef Zakos that appeared in one episode. |

| 417 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Zapper loves being evil, but he seems to respect the concept of camaraderie. He was furious when Grappler Gouf didn't care that Zapper would get hit by Grappler's missile along with Captain, and even though he doesn't like Gundams very much, still tried to warn Ashuramaru to get away when he tried blasting Bakunetsumaru in their final duel. [[spoiler: Ultimately, what causes him to turn on the General is that the so-called "leader" of the Dark Axis had simply abandoned him after using him and his troops.]] |

| 419 | * {{Expy}}/CompositeCharacter: Zapper's a dead ringer for Bloody Zaku, but is based on a [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Zaku III]]. He and Bloody Zaku may also be based on Johnny Ridden's similarly designed Full-Bullet Zaku. |

But when Captain reveals he has guns mounted onto his head, Grappler looks as if he's about to start running because he's only mounted with melee attacks. This is when, for an unexplained reason, Zapper starts shooting the ground in front of Gundam and then jumps into the fray, forcing the Gundam back. |

His first victim was his opponent, Solitary Gyan. |

| 536 | * ConservationOfCompetence: His squad leaders are dumb, his army is stupid, anyone he tries to get to assist him is ''worse''... |
| 537 | * {{Determinator}}/VillainousValour: VillainousBreakdown notwithstanding, Commander Sazabi STOOD HIS GROUND and refused to retreat during his battle with Captain Gundam when the latter was steadily gaining the upper hand. This ultimately leads to his defeat [[spoiler:and his death]]. |

| 547 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: His kicking away Zako Red (who held the Zakurello Remote) is what allowed the SDG to take control of the Zakurello Gate. |
| 548 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Ultimately what his battle with Captain Gundam accumulates to, as both fighters gradually loser their armor and weapons over the course of the battle. |
| 549 | * RankScalesWithAsskicking: A lot stronger than his subordinates, as he easily takes on Zero and Baku at the same time without much of a problem. |
| 550 | * SmugSuper: He has no problem looking down on pretty much everyone he meets in Neotopia. His reaction to Captain challenging him? "It would be tragic if it weren't so laughable!" When Captain continues to wear him down, Sazabi's composure slips more and more. |
| 551 | * SurroundedByIdiots: His typical meetings with Zapper's squad has him angry and exasperated by their failures. |
| 552 | * VillainousBreakdown: He steadily becomes angrier and angrier during his duel with Captain to the point of throwing temper tantrums. When Captain destroys his Soul Drive, he lets out a big ThisCannotBe followed by a BigNo. |

| 766 | As part of his plot to steal the White Bagu Bagu and destroy the Gundam Force, Deathscythe created a duplicate of Princess Rele to infiltrate the team. However, she developed feelings for Shute and at the last minute betrayed Deathscythe. The Knight of Darkness undid the spell and she took her original form- a Princess Rose. |
| 767 | |
| 768 | %%* BecomingTheMask |
| 769 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Turns on her maker because Shute and the Gundams were so kind to her. |
| 770 | * ColorCodedForYourConvenience: The Fake Rele wears darker colors, while the real one wears lighter. |
| 771 | * {{Foil}} To the real Rele. The Rose version is far more demure compared to the headstrong human. However, they both possess great kindness and feelings for Shute. |
| 772 | * HeelFaceDoorSlam: When she turns on Deathscythe, he turns her back into a rose. |
| 773 | * KilledOffForReal: Sort of. Her human identity is destroyed, but Shute saves the Rose she started out as and later has Princess Rele plant her in the royal garden. |
| 774 | * TheMole: Her whole existence is this, made by Deathscythe as bait to spy on the heroes once they found her. |
| 775 | * TokenGoodTeammate: Of the villains in Lacroa, she's the only one who shows any kindness and sympathy from beginning to end. |

| 783 | * TheQuisling: Those in the Kibao clan, who sided with the Dark Axis. |
| 784 | * {{Reincarnation}}: According to Bakunetsumaru: |
| 785 | --> "When a Musha Gundam's strength is gone, his [[OurSoulsAreDifferent GunSoul]] remains, awaiting reincarnation." |
| 786 | * {{Samurai}}: Practically every character from Ark is a warrior. Justified, as there is a civil war going on. |

| 792 | !!!'''Voice Actors:''' Creator/KatsuyukiKonishi (Japanese) |
| 793 | Originally know as Kujakumaru. Ashuramaru once got into a fight with Bakunetsumaru. When Baku had defeated him he was supposed to kill him but couldn't bring himself to do so. This sent Kujakumaru over the edge and would be the reason for him to betray Ark by joining Kibaomaru. |
| 794 | |
| 795 | * DontYouDarePityMe: "What is this, pity?! I do not want it!" |
| 796 | * {{Expy}}: Ashuramaru was based on Ashura Gundam |
| 797 | * JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: In the name of stopping the constant wars in Ark, he ended up joining the Dark Axis through Kibaomaru. |
| 798 | * KnightOfCerebus: While not the first villain to pose a threat, he is the first one that has no comedic traits. |
| 799 | * MeaningfulName: An "Ashura" is a multi-armed demon. |
| 800 | * MultiArmedAndDangerous: The main difference from his former life as Kujakumaru. |
| 801 | %%* RivalTurnedEvil |
| 802 | * ThatManIsDead: When he first meets Bakunetsumaru in Neotopia, he makes it quite clear that the name Kujakumaru no longer has any meaning for him. However, that doesn't stop Bakunetsumaru from referring to him as such when they reconcile. |

| 809 | The Castle Conquerer of the land of Ark. He is one of Kibaomaru's best ninja Gundams. That is, until his record is broken by the Gundam Force. After many failed attempts to finish his assigned tasks he is banished by Kibaomaru. When he attempts suicide Genikmaru stops him and invites him to join his Genki Energy Force, he eventually agrees. |
| 810 | |

| 812 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe / TastesLikeFriendship: "I've come to pay you back for the rice balls you gave me." |
| 813 | * DittoFighter: The legendary Cobra Black Armor gives him this power. It can't duplicate a Soul Drive, though... |
| 814 | * DrivenToSuicide: After losing his last battle with Captain. The US dub tries to hide this. |
| 815 | * {{Expy}}: He was based on Cobra Gundam. |
| 816 | * FalseFlagOperation: Cobramaru typically works by creating a fake threat to distract his foes, so he can move in to complete his objective. In "The Tears of Cobramaru" he goes LeeroyJenkins on the Gundam Force, which is noted to be an unusual move for him. |
| 817 | * {{Invisibility}}: He can make himself transparent. |
| 818 | * {{Ninja}}: Most of the other Ark Gundams are samurai, while Cobramaru and the rest of his clan take on this role. |
| 819 | * OneManArmy: When wearing the Black Armor, he can plow through Buritenmaru's army with ease. |
| 820 | * RedBaron: He's called "The Castle Conqueror" due to his record of bringing down nine castles in a row. |
| 821 | * ReptilesAreAbhorrent: He's a snake-themed ninja who works for the villains. |

| 830 | A mysterious Musha Gundam with strange spacial abilities, the Dai-Shogun first appears in Neotopia in order to insure that Bakunetsumaru and Ashuramaru are allowed to duel without interference. His identity is a mystery to everyone, as according to Cobramaru Ark currently has no Dai-Shogun. [[spoiler: Yet. It's hinted near the end that the Dai-Shogun is Genkimaru, all grown up.]] |
| 831 | |
| 832 | * BigEater: Apparently polished off a giant cake by himself. |
| 833 | * BlowYouAway: He can use his fan to create gusts of wind strong enough to push the [[CoolShip Gundamusai]] through a smaller portal. |
| 834 | * CoolShip: His personal vessel, the Ship of the Golden Crest. |
| 835 | * {{Expy}}: [[spoiler: Considering who his father is]], he could be another one to Zeus Gundam as he has a similar winged helmet (unlike Kibaomaru's lightning-adorned one) and with the Ship of the Golden Crest standing in for the Hercules Chariot. |
| 836 | * KatanasAreJustBetter: His Dai-Hoto Sword. |
| 837 | * RealityWarper: His first appearance has him deflecting Zapper's missiles by ''literally turing the world upside-down.'' |
| 838 | * SomedayThisWillComeInHandy: He leaves Bakunetsumaru a toothpick with these instructions. [[spoiler: It helps reprogram the Bagu Bagu]] |
| 839 | * TimeTravel: According to the Zako Zako Hour, he's a time traveler. [[spoiler: Which would make sense as he is Adult Genkimaru that has traveled to the past to aid the main heroes.]] |

| 846 | Warlord of the land of Ark. He joined the Dark Axis in the hope that they would help in his conquest. However he is still an honorable Musha Gundam who follows the Musha code the way he knows how. [[spoiler:In the end, it's discovered that he and Genkimaru are family. He and Genki eventually reconcile their differences.]] |
| 847 | |
| 848 | * AmbitionIsEvil: He wants to unite Ark, but achieving that by the amount of force he plans to use is evil. |
| 849 | * {{BFS}}: The Zambao Sword Kibaomaru keeps with his chariot, Oshogo. Its length is twice his height, and he can wield it effortlessly. |
| 850 | * CardCarryingVillain: During his IncomingHam introduction, he proudly states that he's an ''evil'' warlord. |
| 851 | * TheChessMaster: Shogi master. |
| 852 | * {{Expy}}: One of the few robots, let alone musha or knight gundams to not be named similarly to his counterpart, Zeus Gundam. |
| 853 | * KatanasAreJustBetter: He has two of them. One's a more standard blade, the other is the above mentioned Zambao Sword, which he uses to great effect to 'behead' the Gundamusai. |
| 854 | * HonorBeforeReason: Is entirely willing to let Genkimaru kill him in revenge in the end, as he's quite aware of his horrible deeds. |
| 855 | * MartyrdomCulture: Like his subordinates, was likely going to try offing himself after his failure, but was interrupted by Gerbera's attack. |
| 856 | * NotWhatISignedOnFor: When he learns Gerbera's and the General's true intentions, he realizes he may have bitten off more than he can chew. |
| 857 | * ProudWarriorRaceGuy: As a Musha Gundam, his samurai pride is a central feature. |
| 858 | * TheQuisling: Rather than fight the Dark Axis, Kibaomaru chose to join them to make his ambition a reality. Naturally, this has made him a pariah with everyone outside of his clan. |
| 859 | %%* {{Samurai}} |
| 860 | * ShockAndAwe: His elemental powers are lightning based, to fit with his Zeus Gundam-based design. |
| 861 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Why did he side with the Dark Axis? To gain enough power to finally unite the divided clans of the eternally wartorn land of Ark. |

He ends up becoming the Dai-Shogun of Perfect Virtue and goes back in time to aid... very subtly... the Gundam Force.]] |
| 869 | |
| 870 | * BigEater: All Mushas eat a lot, but this kid can really pack it away, likely to fuel his portal magic. |
| 871 | * BigOlEyebrows: His v-fin is huge and moves around like a set of eyebrows. |
| 872 | * BrattyHalfPint: Is an absolute terror when he first shows up, not listening to anyone and generally being annoying towards everyone he encounters. |
| 873 | * {{Expy}}: His predominantly gray color, the shape of his head, and his ninjutsu-like ability to teleport suggests that he may be one to Gundam Spiegel. When he piloted the Devil Gundam-like Daishinsho, [[spoiler:it's a nod to Schwarz Bruder's identity as a clone of Kyoji Kasshu]]. |
| 874 | * FutureBadass: In the season ender, the Daishogun of Perfect Virtue shows up in Neotopia... via using the same portal technique Genkimaru does throughout the series, revealing the two of them are the same person. |
| 875 | * {{Gasshole}}: The only character on the show to pass wind. Several times. |
| 876 | * IncomingHam: His intro is notable due to the subtle foreshadowing when one of the spheres is the wrong color a couple of times. [[spoiler: It turns out this is due to him being a member of the Kibao Clan]] |
| 877 | * MessianicArchetype: Shows signs of this towards the end. |
| 878 | * OrphansPlotTrinket: His knife [[spoiler: with the Kibao emblem on it]] once belonged to his mother. And it's needed for TheReveal. |

| 925 | * {{Expy}}: He's based on John Bull Gundam, which is Neo England's Gundam fighter, hence the "Britain" in his name(phonetically in the case of his Japanese name). |
