- Ambiguously Brown: His skin is noticibly darker than the other students of Aoba High.
- Aww Look They Really Do Love Each Other: Jiro is a pain in the neck to Daisaku on most days, but he genuinely cares for his big brother.
- Blue Is Heroic: His civilian outfit is a light blue jacket over a dark blue shirt.
- Book Dumb: Daisaku's grades are abysmal, while Hotaru and Tetsuya fare much better.
- Chivalrous Pervert: He shamelessly crawls into a girl's bed during a treasure hunt, and also constantly thinks naughty thoughts about Hotaru.
- Class Clown: Daisaku cares more about making jokes than studying, such as suggesting his younger sister Natsuko is a Dellinger child adopted by humans.
- The Everyman: As ordinary as they come. Before the events of the series, he was an idiotic Hormone-Addled Teenager and helped his family at their traditional Japanese painting shop.
- Hormone-Addled Teenager: Daisaku has a passion for women as much as he has a passion for robots, with his specific fixation being on Hotaru. She's very busty, and he fantasizes about her breasts whenever he can.
- Hot-Blooded: He looks like a buffoon on the outside, but he'll do whatever it takes to stop the Dellingers, even if it means endangering his own life. In the Grand Finale, he actually wipes out their entire race.
- In the Blood: Like Daisaku, his younger brother Jiro is a complete idiot and reacted to the Dellinger's Alien Invasion by making jokes.
- Male Frontal Nudity: At one point his loincloth slips off, and Zero covers her eyes, screaming that she saw something that she shouldn't have seen.
- Tsundere: He clearly likes Hotaru, but acts tough to hide it from her.

- Academic Athlete: Apart from consistently keeping her grades up, Hotaru is one of the school's best tennis players.
- The Ace: She's beautiful, a honours student, captain of the tennis team and Aoba High School's heart-throb.
- Action Girl: She's the only female pilot of Albegas and as the pilot of γ robot, inflicts some of the nastiest blows against the Dellinger's forces.
- Damsel in Distress: Out of the three main characters, Hotaru is the most likely to be lured into the Dellinger's traps, hypnotized or subject to horrific trauma.
- Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: Sort of. Hotaru has a very feminine appearance but her hobbies push her into tomboy territory.
- The Gunslinger: Hotaru is skilled at using guns. When she's not in her robot, it's her default weapon.
- Leg Focus: In any scene of her playing tennis, the focus invariably goes to her dangerously short skirt and her legs.
- Long Hair Is Feminine: Hotaru has long chest-nut brown hair that reaches her mid-back. She's the only girl on the team.
- Miss Fanservice: Hotaru's breasts are constantly at focus at many points of the anime. She's notably more well endowed than her female peers and while playing tennis, wears a skirt that shows off her legs. Not to mention, her Damsel in Distress moments often have her at the mercy of the Dellingers.
- Missing Mom: She lost her mom when she was very little. Due to losing her at a young age, she barely remembers her.
- Only Sane Woman: While Daisaku is a bumbling idiot on the same level as his little brother, Hotaru is a graceful lady nicknamed the "Madonna" of her school.
- Red Is Heroic: Out of the three Color-Coded Characters, Daisaku is black, Tetsuya is blue and Hotaru is red. She plays this straight and takes her mission seriously, wanting to be the hero her father raised her to be.
- Shipper on Deck: Is all for her father moving on with his Sexy Secretary Saiko.
- Tomboy: While her appearance is rather feminine (she doesn't even have a Tomboyish Ponytail), her idea of fun is playing tennis and messing around with Super Robots.
- True Blue Femininity: Her civilian outfit consists of a white coat over a pale blue dress.
Tetsuya Jin
Tetsuya Jin (神 哲也)
Voiced by: Hideyuki Hori
The pilot of the β robot. He is a 17 year old student at Aoba High and is an orphan. He has a sister, Ritsuko, but she's preoccupied with her work as a doctor in the Harunejima island. Tetsuya's skill is martial arts.
- Beware the Quiet Ones: Because Tetsuya's a quiet guy, he's often belittled and seen as non-threatening. He actually knows a lot about martial arts and has beaten people to a pulp for getting on his nerves one too many times.
- Bullying a Dragon: He was bullied a lot as a kid for being an orphan. A few beatings later thanks to his skill in martial arts, the bullying stopped.
- Dark and Troubled Past: His parents died in a space station accident when he was very young, and he was bullied for being an orphan. His only remaining blood relative is his sister, and even she's not around most of the time as she's a doctor on a remote island. As a result, he's a cold and nihilistic man.
- Interspecies Romance: Tetsuya fell for Julia, a Dellinger woman. It never bothered him in their romance and he mourned her when she died.
- The Lost Lenore: Julia. Oh god, Julia. She died happy, knowing that she didn't have to kill him as part of her mission, but it screwed him up.
- The Stoic: Tetsuya is so used to suffering that nothing fazes him anymore. By the time the story starts he's adopted a nihilist view.
- Trash of the Titans: Tetsuya lives in Aoba's dormitary, and his room is very messy. It fits with his nihilistic personality.
