Gladion Montblanc (Gladion's Team) | Pokémon World | Infinity Train (Project Solitaire)

    open/close all folders 
    Gladion's Pokémon 
An Umbreon, Midnight-Lycanroc, and Silvally that are Gladion's partners across the Train.
  • Casting a Shadow: Umbreon is a pure Dark-type that knows Dark Pulse.
  • Contrasting Prequel Main Character They contrast Atticus who is a talking corgi king with no abilities compared to the three somewhat canine-based mons who have powerful abilities but can only speak their names.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: All three monsters have menacing appearances, with Umbreon being an actual Dark-type, but are very friendly and really care for Gladion.
  • Dishing Out Dirt: Lycanroc is a Rock-type and knows Stone Edge.
  • Fighter, Mage, Thief: The three Pokémon fill this dynamic.
    • Fighter: Lycanroc is a power-house with earth-based moves and raw strength.
    • Mage: Silvally's Multi-attack and RKS system means they can change typings to whatever Gladion sees fit.
    • Thief: Umbreon is quick and nimble, not to mention smallest, of the trio.
  • The Glomp: All three of them hug Gladion when they find out he's all right at the end of Chapter 2.
  • Heroic Dog: Lycanroc and Umbreon are based on canines and they work with Gladion, the hero.
  • The Unsmile: Lycanroc's attempt to smile makes it look like he wants to gnaw on Larkspur like she's a bone.

    Larkspur 
A living statue, or kore, who resides in the Pearl Gates Car whom Gladion accidentally gifts the orange lily bouquet to. She joins Gladion on his task to dismantle the Apex.
  • Color Motifs: Orange. She's wearing an orange shirt and she usually carries the orange lilies Gladion accidentally put in her hands.
  • Contrasting Prequel Main Character: She's the counterpart to Lexi in this regard. He's a living book with a male humanoid form while she's a female statue. Lexi can fold his papers into whatever outfits he wishes while Larkspur is given a shirt from a previous passenger. Lexi is made of paper can turn himself into different creatures and form numerous weapons with said papers while Larkspur is made of stone and she has the innate power to teleport. Lexi wants revenge on the Apex for ripping in half, whereas Larkspur also wants to stop the Apex for how she could not save Dar from being destroyed by them Last, Larkspur and Gladion's bond is distant as they team up out of necessity. Meanwhile, Chloe and Lexi's bond is that as friends and they rely on each other for strength and comfort.
  • Drama-Preserving Handicap: Having a walking information bank would be a blessing across the Train. However, after the trauma that was the 400 Rabbits Car, and learning that her sister has died, Gladion tells Larkspur to stay in the 400 Rabbits Car to send any information to her other sisters so that the White Gestalt can meet up with another kore and get a head's up on what's going on. She does return in the Fog Car so she can give Specter his shield — she had it with her — and to comfort Gladion after he realized he was an ass to his sister.
  • Immune to Mind Control: When a girl with spiral hair tries to attack her in the Spiral Car, she calmly states that her eyes prevent her from being brainwashed.
  • It Was a Gift: Wears a very faded shirt that once read "Camp Half-Blood" on it because a former passenger gave it to her. She also carries Gladion's orange lilies since he accidentally placed them in her hands. The narration explains that very few passengers notice her and so she cherishes any gift that she receives.
  • Living Statue: While initially, she looked like just any other statue, once Gladion gifts her the Orange lilies, she eventually reveals herself to be alive. Blacksmith Pratt reveals that she's a kore.
  • Ms. Exposition: She was built along with her sisters as a prototype communication system and information bank.
  • My Greatest Failure: Was too slow to stop the Apex from shattering Dar with a sledgehammer.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business:
    • In the Toy Brick Car, she becomes somewhat cold when Blacksmith Pratt mentions a passenger teaming up with one of her sisters, Lampetia. How bad is it? She doesn't put a space between her words. Even Gladion points that out. When Gladion questions what Specter did to get a portrait in the Toy Brick Car, she resists getting the information from her sister and just glares at his portrait.
    • She doesn't really emote when she speaks. So when she talls Kisaragi about the incident in the Tape Car, she's panicking
  • Put on a Bus: Gladion tells her to stay in the 400 Rabbits Car after Lampetia dies so she can transfer information to her sisters. She does return briefly in the Fog Car for a brief reunion before she goes back.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Blue Oni to Gladion and Lampetia's Red, being tranquil and somewhat stoic.
  • Saved by Canon: She makes appearances in Blossoming Trail and Voyage of Wisteria so she'll survive her trek alongside Gladion.
  • Slave Race: It's implied that the korai are this as she was bought in an auction to be a babysitter for Marger's son, Dar.
  • Spanner in the Works: If Gladion never gave her his orange lily bouquet, he would've been forever trapped in the Pearl Gates Car.
  • Stealth Hi/Bye: Can appear/disappear but only when Gladion's not looking at her.
  • The Stoic: She doesn't raise her voice unless the situation is dire.
  • This Is Gonna Suck: She has this reaction when she learns from Lampetia that she found Specter in the Living Lightning Car but the audience doesn't know why it's bad for a few more chapters.
  • Verbal Tic: Usually speaks...with spaces...between words.

White Gestalt

After the events of the 400 Rabbits Car, Gladion teams up with three other passengers in an attempt to tackle the Apex by trapping them in their own tapes.

    In General 
  • Action Survivor: In comparison to London, who is a wrestler, both Specter and Tokio have to rely on wits to survive.
  • Anti-Hero Team: They're the good guys going off against the monstrous Apex, but they aren't as squeaky clean like the Red Lotus Trio after them:
    • Gladion: Abandoned his sister in order to get on a quest to get stronger, along with keeping very vital information under wraps from any adult who could've given Lillie the help she needed.
    • Specter: Followed Ryoken's orders to assimilate people into data, along with having put Blue Angel in a Mind Rape once with him being just less evil than Lightning and Bohman's faction.
    • London: He's already murdered people back in his homeworld in the name of guidance.
    • Tokio: The most innocent of them all but he's known to have loathes of self-doubt and guilt over his actions.
  • Color Motif: White, obviously.
  • Eye Motifs: A subtle motif amongst all four members are their eyes: Gladion has bangs that cover one of his eyes, and his Character Tic involves a hand covering them. Specter has eerie blue eyes which glow when Easter takes control, London usually covers his eyes with his sunglasses and Tokio wears a mask that had a clock and a ruby for eyes.
  • Fighter, Mage, Thief:
    • Fighter: London, due to his wrestling background and his staff that knocks away enemies with powerful blows.
    • Mage: Specter, with a duel disk that can summon Duel Monsters and Easter who uses lightning to clear away enemies in one strike.
    • Thief: Tokio, who uses the power of the Gale Boomerang in areas that neither London nor Specter can hit.
  • Four-Philosophy Ensemble
    • The Cynic: London
    • The Optimstic: Gladion / Easter
    • The Realist: Specter
    • The Apathetic: Tokio
  • Four-Temperament Ensemble:
    • Gladion: Choleric
    • Specter / Easter: Melancholic (Specter) and Sanguine (Easter)
    • London: Melancholic
    • Tokio: Phlegmatic
  • Freudian Trio:
    • London is the Id, impulsive, head-in-the clouds and grinning at everything that's going on along with being the most physical member of the group.
    • Specter is the Superego, cold, stoic, logical and not really into the madness of the Infinity Train. Unless that's Easter, who would be considered an Id.
    • Tokio is Ego, the more balanced one of the group with his time as the White Rabbit had him suppress his emotions for the "sake" of his tribe.
  • Good Wears White: All of them initially wear white on them — Gladion has a white hooded jacket and pants, Specter and London wear white suits and Tokio has white gloves and a white rabbit mask — and they're the ones who are determined to stop the Apex.
    • Specter's stance is played with: Specter was initially part of the villainous Knights of Hanoi but they later did a Heel–Face Turn. Word of God reveals that he was picked up between the end of Season 2 and start of Season 3 so he's an Anti-Hero. Meanwhile, Easter is helping the White Gestalt, but whether or not they're good is another question (they're good, don't worry)
  • In-Series Nickname: "G-Salt" is one for them, based on the audience in the Desert Racetrack Car mistaking Lin's Verbal Tic (White Ge-stalt) as the correct name.
  • Meaningful Name: Gestalt represents how the whole is greater to the sum of its parts and the word "Gestalt" has the first letter of the main members: Gladion, Easter, Specter, London and Tokio. The White is obvious: all of them either wear white or, in Tokio and Specters's case, have white hair.
  • Nice, Mean, and In-Between: Tokio is nice being a child who would give up his own life to help some rabbits, Specter is mean with the cold and icy personality and London swings between them.
  • Noble Male, Roguish Male: Specter is a teen with short silver hair a clean suit and has a plant theme going to him. London is in his thirties with a white suit bedazzled in sequins, and is both a wrestler and a good swing with his staff.
  • The Quest: Their main quest is to topple the Apex via using their memory tapes to trap them.
  • Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: A chuunibyou knight, a ghost with a Split Personality, a Mad Hatter wrestler that's from one of 7 Aztec tribes and a young boy masquerading as a White Rabbit.
  • Saved by Canon: All of them will be fine by the end of the story with Specter and Tokio off the Train and London in the Hazbin Car with Easter.
  • Would Hit a Girl: In the Puppet Hospital Car, all of them wish to attack Grace with a very good reason: being an apathetic bitch who didn't care about the damage she caused with her cult and being too delusional that she could be wrong. Tokio summons a tornado with his boomerang to strike her with sharp objects, Specter bashes her nose in with his shield when she slices Light Easter's arm, and London levitates her and Simon into the air before letting them drop into the shattered scalpels and broken glass from Tokio's tornado.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: Specter and London's friendship in a nutshell. Despite the bickering and back-and-forth that goes on between them, Specter considers London a close friend, to the point that in Voyage of Wisteria, London immediately calls Specter the first chance he gets and when the Signal Car gets hijacked, Specter spends time trying to fix it on his end to ensure the wrestler is fine.

    Specter / Easter 

A passenger described as "tall, white hair and blue eyes" by Blacksmith Pratt. He is accompanied by a statue like Larkspur. Gladion meets up with him in the 400 Rabbits Car.
Somehow Specter has obtained a Split Personality for his own simply named Easter. See below.


Both of Them

  • Ambiguous Situation:
    • What did Specter do to get a portrait in the Toy Brick Car? Arnett only says it's a long story and Larkspur tries to block the info from her sister Lampetia. Gladion even questions that he didn't stay long enough to pick up his shield from Pratt and Specter even mentions that he and Lampetia left early because of the "Black Knight". In The 400 Rabbits Car, Lampetia explains that he started going mad when he created a brick heart — telekinetically — and started going crazy when Lampetia destroyed it to restore his sanity, begging the statue to "give him back his heart". It's later revealed that he has some sort of Split Personality called "Earth-as-Specter" that has the ability to use lightning, but that just raises even more questions. The Doormouse Car reveals that Easter was the one who took over and made a pretty blue heart but Lampetia destroying it caused their powers to strike the rides and cause them to glitch out, prompting Specter to summon his Sunavalons to fix the damage. The Black Knight wanted to get a hand on Specter's Duel Disk for her own purpose.
    • The Windfish Car reveals that Easter is actually a lightning bolt from the Living Lightning Car who struck Specter down. The lightning bolts there strike anything they can to have a body, but that still doesn't answer all of his triggers.
    • The Desert Racetrack Car reveals more truths; the triggers are most likely memories from Specter having talks with Takeru, Yusaku and Aoi about bonding with their respective Ignis and the possibility of having his own bond if things were different.
    • In the Fog Car, did Specter really throw Easter out of a window or is it the paranoia combined with Silent Hill making him hallucinate? The answer is that he did knock his partner out of the window but he had no idea that Easter had split themselves in two by accident when they transferred to his Duel Disk.
  • Author Appeal: It was already a given Specter was getting into the story, given how Green Phantom Queen gushes about him in Blossoming Trail.
  • Body Motifs: Hearts. One of two cards Specter drew is Ace of Hearts, Easter is obsessed with hearts, and Specter is given Lampetia's heart for safe-keeping until she can form a new body. Easter even goes so far as to attack Queen Cutie, demanding her heart. Lampetia even brings up that the strangeness started in the Toy Brick Car, when Specter/Easter somehow created a blue brick heart.
  • Creepy Blue Eyes: Specter's blue eyes make him very uncanny but when Easter is out, their eyes are glowing blue as a sign that it's a time to run.
  • Electric Torture: A recurring motif, given that Specter's origin involved him being tortured via the Lost Incident. And he gets it again from Easter in the Fog Car when the denizen has had enough in trying to be Mr. Nice Denizen.
  • Flip Personality: By the Desert Wasteland Car, both Specter and Easter switch with only subtle cues to indicate who's in control at the time. The easiest way is their smile, particularly a lop-sided grin from Easter's side. By the Fog Car, this no longer applies as Easter has split themselves into two and Light Easter settles in staying in Specter's Duel Disk while Dark Easter is fused with London.
  • Jekyll & Hyde: Specter is the Jekyll, calm and composed and somewhat cynical. Easter is the Hyde, erratic, violent and ready to shock someone at a moment's notice. London even calls Easter a "Hyde self".
  • Mythology Gag: His Split Personality "Earth-as-Specter" has a few nods to the anime, like how he obsesses over a heart (Aqua gave Earth the Crystal Heart that he cherishes) and he only gets outraged when he overhears Kazashiro being called "Queen" because the character named Queen is the reason why the Earth Ignis was killed off. Moreover, Specter's number is "75", the episode where Earth gets vivisected.
    • In the Shock Street Car, Easter mentions that Specter is no stranger to electric torture; Specter was part of the Lost Incident and he was delighted to be given the electrical shocks.
  • No Name Given: Has no official name in canon, so he's just called "Specter". His Split Personality also didn't have one and was going to call himself "Earth-as-Specter" before London came up with Easter.
  • Split-Personality Switch Trigger: Gladion and London theorize that to turn from Specter into Easter, one has to electrocute him. When Specter returns to normal, even he is quite annoyed to learn that's the right answer. Two other triggers include mentioning you're a queen or anything involving hearts. Later on, Easter can take over without any electric shocks.
  • Too Kinky to Torture:
    • The Shock Street Car reveals that Easter treats being struck with thousands of bolts of electricity like they're in an orgy to the point that they probably short-circuited the machines from being electrocuted with so much power.
    Easter: Oh, harder Mr. Denver! Give me more~
    • En route to the Windfish Car, London questions if Specter has a kink for electric torture — as Easter pointed out that Specter survived being shocked for six months. Specter is quite disturbed at that idea.
    • In the Ghoul School Car, Easter asks Elsa — from Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School — to bring them to her lab to be electrified. When Elsa notes they'll have to be tied down for it, they beg her to do so not unlike a BDSM enthsuiast.
  • White Hair, Black Heart: White hair but has a cold personality. However, Specter is shown to have softer moments while Easter is known to be quite erratic.

Specter

  • A Boy and His X: He travels with Larkspur's older sister, Lampetia. At the end of the 400 Rabbits Car, Lampetia is killed off but she will eventually regenerate a body for her own.
  • Adaptational Nice Guy: Isn't as cold or cynical in the anime, particularly when he tries comforting Tokio over everything that happened in the 400 Rabbits Car. Justified since this is the Specter after Season 2 where he was portrayed more sympathetically.
  • Adaptational Sympathy: While his motives to follow Ryoken were mostly out of loyalty to the cause, the audience doesn't see him truly connect to the Ignis barring a single tear he sheds over Earth's death (which he was confused about). Here, the cause of his train entrance is due to the fact he couldn't get a chance to bond with the Earth Ignis and is conflicted with his loyalties with Ryoken (who wants the Ignis eradicated no questions asked).
  • Adaptation Personality Change: Is bound to get into the same hijinks as Gladion and London albeit this is probably because he's been on the Train for a while and has had to get used to weirdness. And that's not even getting into Easter...
  • Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Once he realizes how he's in a lot of trouble in the Fog Car, he begs Easter to spare him. Given that this is just after Specter hurled Easter out of an open window to die without any remorse, they has no more fucks to give and relishes hurting their partner.
  • Alternate Identity Amnesia: Every time he transforms back from Easter, all Specter remembers is having a massive headache which is caused from London bonking him on the head with his staff. By the time of the Windfish Car when it becomes serious of what's going on with him, he's starting to be afraid when he blacks out.
  • Arbitrary Skepticism: Isn't into Nozama's fortune-reading even though he's been on the Train long enough to be venturing with a Living Statue. And he initially doesn't take his companions' explanations of Easter seriously, even though he can't account for his Alternate Identity Amnesia.
  • Ascended Extra: Despite being one of the victims of the Lost Incident, the amount of episodes he has focus on can be counted one hand and so can the number of duels he's been (3 full duels, two offscreen ones), along with how he has no impact on Season 3 of VRAINS because his seiyuu was unavailable to voice lines till the finale. He gets a bigger role as a protagonist with the Fog Car mostly centered around him finally confronting his issues.
  • Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other:
    • The scene of him and Lampetia in the Giant Canada Goose Car shows him annoyed at how Lampetia got them chased by giant geese and when they reunite in the 400 Rabbits Car, he's begging her to get off him cause she's heavy (along with the narration stating he won't admit that he missed her). That said, when he sees London having crushed her to pieces, per her request, and he hands Specter her heart to carry, he can only stare at it in horror before howling her name in agony. And when she gets killed again with her heart stolen by Tiffany, he's ready to massacre the Apex with his bare hands.
    • He and Easter barely see eye-to-eye due to numerous reasons (the biggest is Easter gets too much into his personal space without giving Specter time to him rest to grieve over Lampetia's death) but when Grace attacks Easter with her knife, Specter wastes no time, attacking her back.
  • Berserk Button: The only time he truly loses his cool is when Tiffany steals Lampetia's heart — as Lampetia got turned into rubble when shrapnel stabbed her in the head after saving Tiffany — and calls it a battle trophy.
    Specter: You self-centered SCUM!
  • Character Development: Initially is annoyed at having to be dragged along for the ride, Act 2 has him more involved in stopping the Apex after he confronts his issues and forgiving London for what happened in the 400 Rabbits Car.
  • Cradle of Loneliness: In the 400 Rabbits Car, He's so heart-broken over seeing Lampetia dead that he has no choice byt to hug her heart close to his chest.
  • Demoted to Extra: One of the major heroes in Knight of the Orange Lily, he's mostly confined to a handful of scenes in Voyage of Wisteria. Justified in that he's stuck in his home and is limited in communicating with the others at this point.
  • Didn't Think This Through: When he decides to take the wheel in the Desert Racetrack Car and taunt Mad Ben to anger him, he didn't consider Mad Ben being angry enough to ram into the car strong enough to destroy it (a jeep compared to Mad Ben's monstrosity) all while he has no driving experience whatsoever. Thankfully, Gladion summons Lycanroc to use Counter to return the damage back to Mad Ben and Specter summoned a Sunavalon monster to cushion the blow.
  • Everyone Has Standards:
    • He's not a nice person, he loves playing mind games to break people down, and his attitude towards Blue Angel was that of a sadist who wanted to break her down because he could. But even he thinks the situation with Kisaragi and White Rabbit is disgusting and finds the Apex to be uncivilized.
    • In a Played for Laughs version, he is shocked to hear London questioning if he has a kink for electric torture (since Easter revealed that Specter survived six months of electric torture in the past).
    Specter: (horrified) There are children [Gladion and Tokio] here, London!
    • He despises One-One and Amelia for not doing anything to fix up their messes.
  • Green Thumb: He uses Plant based monsters, particularly the Sunavalon and Sunvine archetypes.
  • Hell-Bent for Leather: Starts wearing a leather jacket in the Canals of Fondue Car.
  • Horrifying the Horror: Even he finds Kisaragi's control over Tokio unsettling and the brainwashed child is something he wants no part of. And Pyramid Head is a monster he does not want to anger at all.
  • Irony: Found purpose when he was electrocuted. After learning about Easter, he's afraid of his life when he gets electrocuted.
  • Late-Arrival Spoiler: The references to how he slightly teared up at seeing the denizens of the Toy Brick Car calls back the scene of him crying over the death of the Earth Ignis.
  • Laughing Mad: Does this when he psycho-analyzes Mad Ben, pointing out that Mad Ben's goal to get revenge on Ben Prime and Ben-23 will be for nothing since he'll either have to wait for the two to enter his car (which will be never as they're too well-adjusted for the Train to pick up) or he's going to have to leave his throne to drop his number to 0 and leave the Train which he he refuses.
  • Light 'em Up: His Sunavalon/Sunvine monsters are LIGHT Attribute.
  • Must Have Caffeine: A cutaway scene in Voyage of Wisteria has his deck covered in coffee cups while he tries to figure out why communications with the Train, and by extension London, have stopped. By the time we return to him, he's been given tranquilizers and asleep in his bed while the Knights of Hanoi clean up all his cups.
  • Must Make Amends: At the end of the Fog Car, seeing London having been stabbed by Pyramid Head and about to die, he prays to anyone above that he'll do anything if it means London is revived. After Dark Easter fuses with London, London tells him that Specter should focus on changing himself and making amends with his denizen partner. Even when Specter tries to stay with London so he doesn't get lonely, London still insists that he goes back home to his family.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: The Fog Car has him assault Easter for getting to pushy, but he later realizes he had it all wrong when Easter returns his Duel Disk — after all, if they wanted to punish him, they should've brought it along side them — and then learn that the Duel Disk was what gave Easter a new body at the expense of splitting them into two halves. So Specter really did attack Easter, but it was rather the half that had no idea what was going on and wants nothing more than to pay back for this bad communication error.
  • Non-Action Guy: While he's involved in fighting, he never gets his hands dirty, usually having to use either his Duel Monsters or Easter to do his fighting for him. The only times he actually does anything physical is at the end of the Puppet Hospital Car — striking Grace with his shield — and that was more in retaliation of her attacking Easter first, and the final battle where he even throws his shield to push the Apex leaders into the door made by the Doormouse.
  • Only Sane by Comparison: Between The Mad Hatter that is London and the Self-Proclaimed Knight that is Gladion, he's the only one questioning the logic of the Infinity Train and the situation in the 400 Rabbits Car. However he has no idea that he has a very unstable split personality...
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business:
    • His reaction on being given Lampetia's heart is to cry in horror before screaming her name in anguish.
    • He starts begging for mercy when Easter is ready to electrocute him and is an insane wreck when London finds him hours later, which freaks London out if the Only Sane Man is not making sense.
    • Specter loses it when he sees how Tiffany didn't give a fuck about how Lampetia saved her from rubble and the Apex brats are more concerned on the Battle Trophy that's Lampetia's heart than showing gratitude on how a denizen just saved one of their kind.
    • In Act 3 of Voyage of Wisteria, Gladion notes that something is wrong with Specter's side if he's showing concern about not being to contact London on the Train.
  • Pet the Dog: He tries to extend an open hand to Tokio over everything that happened in the 400 Rabbits Car but he refuses.
  • Plot Parallel: A white-wearing male who is accompanied by a statue who is also a knight, making him mirror Gladion. And then the two of them get separated from their statue partners at the end of the 400 Rabbits Car before having a reunion in the Fog Car.
  • A Rare Sentence: Comes up with this upon Gladion meeting up Paul London and having mistaken Specter for him.
    Specter: So this is the guy [London] that made you stare at my crotch for identification?
  • Rage Breaking Point: Seeing Lampetia die again and her heart stolen by Tiffany — even though Lampetia just sacrificed her life to save her — has him ready to kill the Apex with is bare hands.
    Specter: You self-centered SCUM!
  • Red Baron: "Knight of the Hanoi" as shown in his portrait in the Toy Brick Car.
  • Rule of Symbolism: His train number is shown to be 75, the episode of VRAINS when the Earth Ignis was killed off.
  • Sanity Slippage: Once he finally accepts that Easter is a part of him, his mental health starts taking a nosedive as he openly talks to himself out loud (or rather to Easter via his reflection), just gives up on fighting and allows to "tap out" to let Easter take over for a while. This goes to a head in the Fog Car as he just snaps and kicks Easter out of a window before he is succumbed to torture from his very pissed off partner.
  • Say My Name: Is reduced to shouting Lampetia's name when he sees her crushed into rubble and only has her heart left.
  • Skyward Scream: Can only scream Lampetia's name in agony when he sees London having crushed her into rubble and handing him her heart.
  • Tap on the Head: The only way (initially) for Specter to switch out of his "Easter" personality. Lampshaded by Specter who states that he'll be getting a concussion sooner or later.
  • Took a Level in Badass: Small. Any fighting he ever does is through the use of his Duel Disk and monsters, but in the battles against the Apex, he's successfully able to bash Grace's nose in, strike Simon with an uppercut, and eventually throw his shield with enough force to knock the two into the Doormouse Gladion opened up.
  • Tragic Keepsake: London gives him Lampetia's heart to keep until she can regenerate a new body.
  • What If?: The Desert Racetrack Car reveals that Specter contacted Yusaku, Takeru and Aoi about the possibility of him having encountered the Earth Ignis and maybe preventing his death by the hands of Queen.
  • Would Hurt a Child: He is willing to massacre all of the Apex to get Lampetia's heart back, only stopped by Light Easter telling him that he might destroy said heart in his wrath.

Easter - (Light Easter / Dark Easter)

  • Achilles' Heel: Easter's electrical attacks don't work against wood. Good thing London's staff is made of it.
  • Ambiguous Gender: Easter doesn't have a gender even though they're the Split Personality of the male Specter. Justified as they're actually a lightning bolt. They even confirm this in the Desert Racetrack Car although Alastor likes to call them "lightning guy" (albeit that's because his form at the time is male).
  • Ambiguous Innocence: They only want to "help" Specter, but they don't really have an understanding of human emotions or empathy which London notes. Doesn't really help that Ryoken was able to see a nightmare of Specter going through electric torture. Elsa of the Ghoul School Car even admits that this is a trait carried by all lightning bolts in the car.
  • Berserk Button:
    • Does not like being called a "lightning parasite".
    • They hate anyone trying to copy his partner. In Voyage of Wisteria, they're pissed to meet Lexi in how he's copying Specter...while Lexi is utterly confused as to who they're talking about.
  • Does This Remind You of Anything?: The moment when Specter calls Easter "it" before Easter clarifies with "they" gives off the idea that they identify as non-binary (or whatever is non-binary for a lightning bolt anyway).
  • Dramatic Thunder: Weaponized in the final battle. After both halves of Easter reunite, they unleash thunder to crowd the Apex together, and gives Gladion the opening to use a Doormouse to send them all packing.
  • Electric Instant Gratification: In The Shock Street Car, Mr. Denver's electrical attacks give the equivalent of an orgy to Easter who shivers in delight at the idea of Denver increasing power. By the time they leave the House of Shocks to deal with the giant robot water tower, the house is smoking and they exclaimed it was the best "party" they ever had.
  • Energy Absorption: Can absorb electricity and then channel it into powerful attacks. In The Shock Street Car, they survived the electric attacks in Shockro's House of Shocks before channeling it into a massive lightning bolt that destroyed the water tower attack robot that gave Silvally trouble.
  • Exotic Eye Designs: In the Fog Car, Dark Easter's Ryoken form has white diamond pupils.
  • Finger Gun: They start making this motion whenever they channel their electrical powers.
  • Incoming Ham: When Specter gets electrocuted against the battle with Mad Ben, they howl "I LIVE!!!!" when they take over.
  • Irony: The Ignis made from Specter is Earth. But Easter has electrical powers.
  • "It" Is Dehumanizing: Heavily dislikes having Specter call them "it" and even switches places to confirm to use "They" instead.
  • Keet: Their personality in Voyage of Wisteria is of a hyperactive child on a sugar rush.
  • Laughing Mad: When Death Eye electrocutes Specter, they switch out with a wheezing gasp before it reaches a wild and frenzied laugh.
  • Literal Split Personality: Twice. First, they transfer themselves into Specter's Duel Disk so he can get rest. And then the Duel Disk split them into two parts: Light Easter and Dark Easter.
  • The Man in the Mirror Talks Back: Starting in the Windfish car, Easter communicates with Specter this way. To everyone else, it looks like Specter is talking to thin air.
  • Meaningful Name: The Split Personality gets the name "Easter" by London because the first half is based off the first letters for Earth-as-Specter, and because they're in the 400 Rabbits Car at the time and Easter is a holiday associated with rabbits.
  • No Biological Sex: Even though they're based on the male Specter, they're actually a living lightning bolt and thus don't really have a sex. Easter likes to use "they" profiles to describe themselves even after they get a body similar to Specter himself.
  • Non-Human Non-Binary: They're a denizen that takes the form of a lightning bolt and expresses that others use "they/them" to address them.
  • No-Sell: Death Eye can't read their memories, and thus can't shift into something that they fear whereas Specter was frightened by the changes in his life and Death Eye transformed into a massive clay golem.
  • Odd Friendship: Gained one with London in the Desert Racetrack Car because they bond over how they want to help Specter but don't know how to reach him. By Voyage of Wisteria, they are partnered with London in the Hazbin Car.
  • Playing Card Motifs: The Eight of Diamonds which represent desires for material good and other parts of life. However, it's also shown that if it's focused on material desires, they're setting themselves up for stress and disappointment. Easter's only desires are to have their own body (like all living lightning bolts do) and to help Specter branch out and become something better. But the more Specter denies it, the more Eater gets pushy until Specter snaps and hurls them out a window. When they (Dark Easter) gain their Ryoken form, they have a total of eight diamonds over their body: diamond pupils, a pair of diamond earrings, a red diamond mark on the thumb, and three shards of glass in the ches
  • Pre-Mortem One-Liner: Says this to Death Eye before unleashing the killing blow.
    Easter: (grins) Sweet dreams.
  • Psycho Electro: Electric abilities with an unstable personality.
  • Psychotic Smirk: His trademark expression whenever they switch with Specter.
  • Puppy-Dog Eyes: Actually pulls this off in the Shock Street Car when they request that the White Gestalt enters "Shockro's House of Shocks". It works.
    Gladion: How does a lightning maniac have convincing puppy dog eyes?
  • Shock and Awe: Can unleash electrical attacks when in control. This is presumably from being struck by lightning in the Living Lightning Car (confirmed by Lin; Easter is actually a lightning bolt who struck Specter and fused with him). One of the ways for Specter to turn into Easter is if he's electrocuted.
  • Split Personality: Easter is one to Specter, but how and why Specter would even have one is a mystery. It's later revealed in that Easter is actually a lightning bolt denizen who fused with Specter when they struck him.
  • Sure, Let's Go with That: When London asks who and where Easter came from in the Shock Street Car, Easter just points to the ceiling and London assumes that Easter is really a guardian angel that's come to help with whatever is bothering Specter. Easter doesn't necessarily refute it...It's later revealed that they are from the sky, but they're actually a denizen in the form of a lightning bolt.
  • Tom the Dark Lord: "Easter" is probably the least threatening name you could give to Specter's split personality, but that doesn't take away the fact they're easily the most dangerous of the group.
  • Tron Lines: When they talk with Specter via his reflection in the Windfish Car, there are blue lines covering their face. And when they switch places in the fight against Death Eye, they have blue lines over their arms which carries over to Specter in the next car.
  • Would Hit a Girl: Easter attacks Kazashiro because they mistake her for someone named "Queen" and does this to Cutie because she's also a Queen.
  • Yellow Lightning, Blue Lightning: Is a living lightning bolt with a blue color scheme, to contrast Gladion's Silvally whose electrical attacks are yellow.

    Paul London 

Paul London

A strange and eccentric passenger that Gladion encountered in the 400 Rabbits Car. He's still on the Train as revealed in Voyage of Wisteria, settled in the Hazbin Car and doing a vlog he calls "London Calling".
  • Adaptational Badass: In Lucha Underground, London didn't have any supernatural abilities at all compared to the more fantastical beings like the man embodying a phoenix, the time traveler, the dragon, the man who gets stronger when he dies, etc. and he only had three wins in the show (one against Vibora albeit via disqualification and two Trio Match wins). Here, he somehow has levitation, the ability to teleport from place to place, and can somehow manifest his fallen Rabbit Tribe members. It's heavily implied that he obtained them after becoming the last member of the Rabbit Tribe.
  • Adaptation Distillation: Since London has wrestled in numerous promotions over the years, the fanfic only focuses on his tenure in WWE and Lucha Underground.
  • Adaptational Heroism: When Luchador Underground aired last he was seen, he was a rudo or Heel. By the time he's on the train, he's on the side of good and has realized he made plenty of mistakes when he tells Tokio that sacrificing himself, or others, for his role as the White Rabbit, is near suicidal.
  • Adaptational Modesty: His Rabbit Tribe outfit infamously gave London a sequin-studded codpiece to give him a prominent bulge. In the story, it's not there and instead, there are just sequins around the crotch.
  • All for Nothing: Implies that sacrificing his Rabbit Tribe members for guidance wasn't worth it as he's left all alone, stuck on the train and he has a giant number that will take years to drop. He confirms this in the Fog Car as it put a strain on his friendships.
  • Always a Bigger Fish: His number positively dwarfs all other numbers in the series. For comparison's sake, the biggest number in Blossoming Trail came from Paul Drangea, aka Despair, whose number only reached above the 40000s despite the torture he went through. Literally the only other Passengers with a bigger number than him are the Apex, Amelia, and D-16/Prime Megatron. By the Desert Racetrack Car, his number is already wrapped around his wrist.
  • Ancestral Weapon: His weapon belonged to the White Rabbit of his world.
  • Ascended Extra: London doesn't appear in Lucha Underground until Season 3 and even then his arc mostly revolved around obsessing over Mascarita Sagrada as the White Rabbit and then going full Sanity Slippage when he meets said White Rabbit and offers up his partners for guidance. And in the show itself he only gets two solo matches of his own with the other being Trios matches and a 3 vs 1 handicapped match. He's one of the central heroes of Knight of the Orange Lily and has a minor, yet significant role in Voyage of Wisteria when he broadcasts a challenge to gather what remains of the Apex to be dragged into the Hazbin Car where he's currently residing..
  • At Least I Admit It: He may have killed people in the past but he admits that he messed up, compared to Grace refusing to confess that she's hurting innocents.
  • The Atoner: He admits in The Fog Car that he's on the Train to atone for the murders and how he wasn't there for one of his closest friends.
  • Awesome by Analysis: He's the one most observant about what's going on with Specter and Easter, something that Specter lampshades. After Lin reveals that Easter is actually a lightning bolt that struck Specter down (It's a Long Story), he questions a lot of things going wrong with Specter's background, from why Easter wanted to be called "Earth-as-Specter" and his obsession with attacking queens and desiring hearts. He also was able to note Mad Ben has two weaknesses: not being taken seriously and his pride.
  • Badass Driver: By default in the Desert Racetrack Car as he's the only one of the group who can actually drive which he points out to Specter when he attempted to get in on the fun.
  • Boring, but Practical: His weapon is a large wooden staff. Not as flashy as Gladion's Pokémon or Specter's electrical powers and Duel monsters, and not as versatile as Tokio's Gale Boomerang, but he has a powerful swing to knock someone unconscious and doesn't need as much setup. Combined with his telekinesis, and he's capable of knocking people down before they know what hit them.
  • Breaking Old Trends: He's actually a real-life person, not a fictional character (albeit the wrestling gimmick is fictional).
  • Broken Tears: Sheds these upon having shattered Lampetia and has to give her heart to Specter, made all the worse as he reveals later that it's just a reminder that one of his friends killed themselves.
  • Cheshire Cat Grin: Keeps grinning like a Cheshire puss despite being in a dark car filled with bunnies. Should that smile drop, that's a cause for a alarm.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: He's obsessed with the "White Rabbit" and assumes Gladion and Specter are also followers of said White Rabbit and doesn't understand the idea of Tokio being the leader of the White Rabbits except they have a purpose and it's fine...well, until he learns why that happened.
  • Cool Shades: A pair of white sunglasses covers his eyes.
  • Cover Innocent Eyes and Ears: Puts his glasses over Tokio's eyes in the Shock Street Car so the young boy doesn't see Easter's...reactions to being electrically tortured.
  • Determinator: Goes through excruciating torture by The Bogeyman (aka Pyramid Head) just so Specter can confess to his sins and pain.
  • Drama-Preserving Handicap: Given his encounter with White Gestalt, why isn't he there during Blossoming Trail? Because not only were the events involving him erased from everyone's collective memories, but he's in the Hazbin Car at that point in time, so Chloe wouldn't have known anything about him.
  • Easily Forgiven: Lin doesn't hold a grudge over London murdering Lampetia; he had to do what he needed to do. Lampetia, when she gets revived a few arcs later, also states that it was a difficult decision.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Despite all the stuff he did in the name of the White Rabbit, even he finds it horrifying at how Tokio willingly went through a brainwashing procedure for a crime that was never his fault. He tells Tokio that sacrificing himself for guidance and leadership to the point of suicide is not worth it. He will also not kill anyone under assisted suicide as he tells Lampetia, and reluctantly does it when he hears that she'll form a new body after some time and that doing so is the only way to prevent the rabbits from prying information out of her.
  • Foil: To all of his other White Gestalt members as he's Hispanic compared to the Japanese Gladion, Specter and Tokio. He also sports black hair compared to the pale blond/white/silver of his other members and is in his late 30s compared to the 10 - teenage years of the other three.
    • He's specifically one to Grace Monroe, as both sacrificed others in appeasement to a god. Unlike London, who realized what he did in shame, Grace doesn't care at who she affects as long as she's praised. And then Voyage of Wisteria reveals that Grace knew what she was doing all along but refused to admit that the denizens she was hurting were once human...
  • The Ghost: He's actually referenced in Blossoming Trail by Alex Shepherd telling a bedtime story about a man searching for the White Rabbit to Hop.
  • Hypocrite: In Voyage of Wisteria, he lambasts all the suffering and pain the Apex caused for killing denizens and traumatizing them...while also ignoring the fact that the Apex were just children dragged onto the train without instructions from anyone other than a Know-Nothing Know-It-All who was in denial thanks to a particularly nasty event while he was well aware of what he was doing when he committed his murders. Thankfully, the Hazbin group call him out on this and he quickly stops.
  • I Regret Nothing: He tells the Apex in his London Calling video in Voyage of Wisteria that the only thing White Gestalt regrets are the extremes they took to topple the Apex, not the fact that they had to be taken down.
  • Improbable Weapon User: Mentioned to Gladion that he once tried to hold someone hostage with a carrot. He also uses a carrot to attack Gladion's Umbreon when he was on the White Rabbit's lap.
  • Kayfabe: Invoked by Word of God who assumes the London who is on the train comes from a world where the events of Lucha Underground are real and not just "roles" played by the wrestlers and her imagining what the continuation would be like (as it got canceled after Season 4). However it also mixes in real-life events (particularly Ashley Massaro's suicide).
  • Last-Name Basis: Insists on going by his last name, probably because there's another Paul on the Train. He's the only member of the White Gestalt who goes by this (not counting Specter who doesn't really have a name).
  • Last of His Kind: He admits he's the last member of the Rabbit Tribe where he's from, implying something happened to the original White Rabbit and El Bunny. The Fog Car reveals he murdered them in vengeance.
  • The Mad Hatter: His attire invokes this, especially with his stylish top hat. It's also his White Gestalt code name.
  • Manchild: The Paul London that was around when Lucha Underground aired was in his late thirties and he has a weird obsession with something called "The White Rabbit".
  • Mind over Matter: Is capable of telekinesis which he can use to levitate his staff to his side or paralyze enemies intheir place.
  • Minor Major Character: He's a supporting character in Voyage of Wisteria, but his broadcast to hunt the Apex becomes a significant part of Wisteria's Act 2.
  • Mood-Swinger: Knocks Gladion out cold after he explained the story as to how he murdered people. Next time they meet, it's like he completely forgot about it.
  • Mythology Gag: He's a humongous one to his role in Lucha Underground and his WWE run.
    • The fairy tale that starts the 400 Rabbits Car is an adaptation of how he met the White Rabbit and he wields the White Rabbit's staff as a weapon.
    • He mentions how he met up with a woman who gave the Lick of Death (Catrina) and holding someone hostage with a carrot (Kobra Moon).
    • He tells Gladion that messing with him will have "grave consequences". In Lucha Underground, the Casket Matches were called "Grave Consequences".
    • When encountering Jojima, he describes numerous wrestlers he fought in Lucha Underground: Mil Muertes, Fenix, Aerostar, and Drago. In The Fog Car, he also questions if his human sacrifices to Mantanza would be considered serial killings.
    • His initial name for the group is "The Hooliganz", which was his and Kendrick's unofficial tag team name. He also names the jeep in the Desert Racerack Car "The Kendrick", harkening back to "The" Brian Kendrick and Brian Kendrick's Sliced Bread #2 finishing move called "The Kendrick".
    • His vlog in Voyage of Wisteria is called "London Calling", which is the name of his 450 Splash finishing move.
  • One-Steve Limit: Averted: he shares the same first name as the Pokémon Trainer, Paul Drangea, which is probably why he insists being called London. Lampshaded in Voyage of Wisteria when Amelia asks for Paul and he looks up and she then clarifies the one with "purple hair".
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business:
    • Usually smiles and doesn't feel like he has a care in the world, he's more somber and bitter after having to kill Lampetia, by her request, and irritated at having to deal with Easter.
    • London is usually snarky, cynical or goofy or perhaps all three at once. He snaps at Grace and Simon when they claim that they haven't really killed people and pulls out a Precision F-Strike on them.
    • Things are serious if he ever has to remove his sunglasses.
  • Precision F-Strike: Lays one out to the Apex leaders when they can barely give a damn on the denizens they assaulted under the concept that they're not human.
    London: FUCK YOU!
  • Rage Breaking Point: Grace and Simon saying that they aren't really killing people with the denizens they slaughtered causes him (and Dark Easter) to call them out, made poignant because he's actually killed people, and is still traumatized on being the one to kill Lampetia by her request.
  • Rapid-Fire "No!":
    • When Easter gets shocked in the Shock Street Car, he shouts "Nope" a total of nine times in quick succession.
    • In Voyage of Wisteria, he says it again when Kisaragi brings up gathering his fallen soldiers of Project Solitaire.
  • Rule of Symbolism: His initial number is 52106, the date of the WWE Judgement Day 2006 PPV where he became tag team champions with Brian Kendrick.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In the Shock Street Car, he immediately starts going "Nopenopenope" upon seeing Easter reacting to being electrically tortured to...something else and has to drag Tokio and Gladion out.
  • Seen It All: His attitude to Mad Ben and most of the craziness in the Desert Racetrack Car hardly phases him as he lists various incidents from "Super Cena in the Firefly Funhouse" to "a deadman fighting the Prince of Phenomenal in a Boneyard Match while blaring Metallica".
  • Shoot the Shaggy Dog: Is forced to turn Lampetia into rubble so that the rabbits can't force information out of her.
  • Significant Wardrobe Shift: Wears white throughout Orange Lily, when he appears in Voyage of Wisteria, he's now wearing black.
  • Soul Jar: The White Rabbit's staff hosts the souls of Mascarita Sacrada, Mala Suerte and Saltador. It's revealed in the Fog Car that it contains the souls of those sacrificed as both the original White Rabbit and El Bunny were murdered in vengeance.
  • Spirit Advisor: Mascarita Sacrada — the wrestler who led London to the White Rabbit and whom he murdered to prove he would do anything for guidance under the White Rabbit — converses to London this way. Saltador and Mala Suerte...aren't this, and are mostly there to remind London that he messed up.
  • Stepford Smiler: London shows shades of this in the Fog Car, as he realized how his quest for guidance ended up losing everything: Ashley killed herself and he and Brian haven't talked in a long while.
  • Sunglasses at Night: Wears a pair of sunglasses in every car he enters, even in the perpetually dark 400 Rabbits Car.
  • Team Dad: By default as he's the eldest member of the group in his late thirties (real-life London is now in his 40s).
  • This Is for Emphasis, Bitch!: London's final line to Grace in Knight of the Orange Lily
    London: Your days are numbered, bitch!
  • Token Adult: The only adult member of the White Gestalt since it's hard to gauge how old the korai and Easter are and the other three are kids or teenagers.
  • Took a Level in Cynic: Aside from how his actions in his world were for naught, the revelations in the 400 Rabbits Car dropped his attitude into levels of pessimism.
  • Would Hurt a Child: After revealing his backstory, London attacks Gladion and throws him into a casket.

    Tokio Chisou (Unmarked Spoilers

Tokio Chisou / The White Rabbit

A boy from the Pokémon world, originally from Cianwood City, picked up by the Train in desperation of wanting to go back in time to undo a great mistake with an old friend. Was found in the 400 Rabbits Car as the leader, the White Rabbit.


  • A Child Shall Lead Them: The White Rabbit was a young child. Named Tokio Chisou. Deconstructed as he was only this because he requested it and under heavy brainwashing by Kisaragi and even then he acted more like a puppet.
  • Ambiguous Situation: If The White Rabbit's telling the truth and this is Tokio Chisou, what happened to him?!
    • The flashback that made him the White Rabbit is ambiguous as to how much this is Kisaragi's doing and how much it's Tokio going along with it. The 400 Rabbits Car Part 3 reveals that the mind control was consensual on his end. Although later Kisaragi is starting to use it for his own ends...
  • The Atoner: Deconstructed. Tokio is atoning over a sense of guilt for something that truly was never his fault, and he's essentially forcing himself to be broken to atone for it. It says something when Paul London, who has committed ritualistic slaughter, tells him that he's going too far.
  • Badass Adorable: The youngest member of White Gestalt and is still capable of fighting with the older members. This even gets lampshaded in the Desert Racetrack Car when the denizens can't help but coo over his cuteness.
  • Battle Boomerang: He obtains the Gale Boomerang from the Windfish Car as a weapon.
  • Blow You Away: The Gale Boomerang allows him to summon tornadoes when thrown.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: Tokio was brainwashed by Kisaragi to become the leader of the Rabbit Tribe...by his own choice.
  • The Chosen One: Out of all the passengers that passed by the 400 Rabbits car, Tokio was the replacement White Rabbit because he was there when the Apex murdered the previous one and he requested it.
  • Composite Character: Tokio shares traits with the three Pokémon Trainers that Chloe will encounter in Blossoming Trail: Brainwashed by someone he thought was trustworthy (Hop), stuck in a straitjacket and convinced he belongs on the train and has a stoic face (Paul) and has some sort of Guilt Complex around him (Alain).
  • Color Motif: White of course. White mask, white straitjacket, and Tokio Chisou has white hair.
  • Cool Mask: As the White Rabbit, Tokio wears a rabbit mask with a pocket watch and a ruby for an eye. After he's freed from the brainwashing, Kisaragi tells him to keep it. He wears it if he needs to speak to specific denizens in a car due to his regal status and he has a tendency to wear it in contemplation. The mask is so tied to the White Rabbit, seeing it shows both fear and awe from the denizens. After the Fog Car, he returns it as he decides to no longer be associated with the rabbits.
  • Creepy Child: The White Rabbit is a child who was brainwashed into believing he is the leader of a bunch of rabbits. Tokio loses the creepy part when he's freed but there is also fear from the other members of the White Gestalt when he decides to use his status as White Rabbit in the Magic Castle Car.
  • Creepy Monotone: The White Rabbit's way of speaking.
  • Cuteness Proximity: Invoked; in the Desert Racetrack Car, London tells Tokio to use his cuteness as a distraction between Dick Dastardly and Hog Roader/Bombrat. Tokio does his best Puppy-Dog Eyes that causes the entire audience and Hog Roader to fawn over him.
  • Dissonant Serenity: There is something just off about a young boy in a bunny mask fully accepting the role of being the king to a car of well-meaning but uncanny bunnies.
  • Exotic Eye Designs: Doesn't get more exotic than having a pocket watch and a ruby for the eyes of your mask.
  • Expecting Someone Taller: From how the rabbits fawn over him, Gladion assumes that the White Rabbit is some sagely figure. He's surprised to learn that they're a passenger who can be no older than ten.
  • Eye Motifs: Tokio was struck across the face with a guitar and then had hot sauce sprayed there by the Apex. Then he's shown with an empty look when brainwashed, and the White Rabbit mask has a pocket watch and ruby for eyes.
  • The Face: Because of his status as the White Rabbit, all Tokio has to do is put his mask on and address other denizens for negotiations.
  • Fatal Flaw: Guilt. If something goes wrong when Tokio's around, he defaults that it's his fault. He blames himself getting sick for why Goh hates him (and he's actually right on that) and he feels like he brought the Apex to the 400 Rabbits Car and got Utahoshi killed.
  • Guilt Complex: He believed that everything is his fault whether it's why Goh hates him or Utahoshi's death or even Lampetia being destroyed by London and Specter's grief.
  • Happiness in Mind Control: Tokio found peace under the brainwashing because he felt happy to be of good use to become a White Rabbit. He later snaps out of it when he learns how long he's been separated from his family...
  • It's All My Fault: Blames himself for why Goh hates him, why Utahoshi was killed, and the chaos that led to the Apex invading the Tape Car. The others are quick to reassure him that it's not the case.
  • The Leader: He serves as the one in charge of the 400 Rabbits Car before Gladion, Specter and London entered.
  • Mathematician's Answer: When having a feast in the 400 Rabbits Car, he doesn't give a straight answer to any of Gladion or Specter's questions, and Kisaragi shuts them up before they prompt him to do so.
  • More than Mind Control: Part 3 of The 400 Rabbits Car confirms that, on some level, Tokio willingly became the White Rabbit which makes the flashback where he got drugged even worse.
  • Must Make Amends: Tokio requested to go take a mind control procedure to become the White Rabbit to atone for the sin of bringing the Apex to the car. The other members of White Gestalt tell him that he shouldn't be forcing this onto himself.
  • My Greatest Failure: Being sick and making Goh believe he betrayed him in his home world and leading the Apex to the 400 Rabbits Car to murder Utahoshi on the train. Both of those times are notable because they weren't his fault, but he has a guilt complex that prevents him from understanding it.
  • Only One Name: As the White Rabbit, he initially introduces himself as "Tokio". The flashback in the next chapter clarifies this is Tokio Chisou aka Goh's friend who was on the hunt for Celebi.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: The only time The White Rabbit facade cracks is when Gladion's Umbreon leaps into his lap for a cuddle. He is immediately panicking and demands this "thing" gets off of him.
  • Puppet King: He's the ruler of the 400 Rabbits Car yet Gladion finds it really odd that Kisaragi was the one who nearly sent Gladion, Specter and London to the dungeons. It turns out to be kinda complicated: Tokio is the leader and Kisaragi was guiding him, but this was also due to an agreement of a brainwashing procedure.
  • Puppy-Dog Eyes: Weaponized in the Desert Racetrack Car. London tells Tokio to give the best version of these eyes as he could as a distraction, and they end up derailing Hog Roader and Dick Dastardly.
  • Rage Breaking Point: Gets pissed when Grace can barely give a damn that she murdered Utahoshi two years ago, and her only response is "So what?"
  • Replacement Goldfish: There was a White Rabbit before him, but they perished, so this one serves as their replacement. It's revealed that Utahoshi died by Grace's knife while trying to comfort Tokio and Tokio begged to become the next one as atonement.
  • Shout-Out:
    • His attire and head-twitch was inspired by the Rabbit contestant from The Masked Singer.
    • His new outfit in the Canals of Fondue Car is based on Hope Estheim, another white-haired boy who used boomerangs.
  • Time Stands Still: Can control time, which he demonstrates on Specter. He doesn't have this power after he leaves the 400 Rabbits Car.
  • Token Human: Being a Passenger in the 400 Rabbits Car, he's literally the only human among a Car filled with tons of rabbits.
  • Too Important to Walk: Makes his first appearance walking on a chair with metallic spider legs.
  • Troubled, but Cute: The White Rabbit is a young boy with an attire that has him in a straitjacket.
  • Universally Beloved Leader: As the White Rabbit, Tokio is beloved by his subjects as a kind, fearless leader and his reputation is felt throughout other cars. Even Mad Ben has some respect for the kid. When he decides to step down, Gaim and Ryugen are saddened by this but accept his wish.
  • Vocal Dissonance: Has a very deep voice even though he's a young boy.
  • Walking Spoiler: Knowing the White Rabbit's identity is a humongous shock, heralds a change to the story and puts Tokio's appearance in Blossoming Trail in a whole new light to the point that anything in regards to it isn't covered in spoilers.
  • White Bunny: Tokio's identity as the White Rabbit.
  • White Gloves: Wears a pair of pristine ones...which just so happens to be good to hide the fact that he's a passenger. He later removes them so he gets a better look at his number.
