New Generation GGG: Gutsy Global Guard (GGG Blue)
Mamoru Amami & Ikumi Kaidou
In General
- Bash Brothers: As copilots together for GaoGaiGo, both Mamoru and Ikumi need to be the closest friends they can be with each other to the point of having the tacit chemistry to bring up each other’s strengths, and cover each other’s weaknesses.
- Child Soldier: Though they played key roles during their years under Gutsy Galaxy Guard, the events resulting in them being sent back to Earth post FINAL was what really grounds them both to willingly undergo Training from Hell and enlist themselves as test pilots of Gusty Global Guards’s then in-development GaoGaiGo for real; and their flashbacks showed us just how dangerous it is to have kids as test pilots.
- Experienced Protagonist: Mamoru and Ikumi have been part of the GGG project for 10 years. During the 8-year gap between FINAL and this story, the two of them continued their GGG service by partaking in the development of GaoGaiGo outside of school. Guy even points out that technically, Mamoru and Ikumi are now more experienced than he is.
- Happily Adopted: While Mamoru solved his case long since the first series, Ikumi came to terms with his adoptive mother and has learned to open up to his Earthling friends by the end of FINAL.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Mamoru is the red to Ikumi’s blue.

An experienced GGG member who is now a co-pilot of GaoGaiGo with Ikumi Kaidou.
- Babies Ever After: With Hana in the epilogue. They called the baby Tsubasa.
- Can't Hold His Liquor: He's aware of his limits, but he tends to be influenced easily by his peers in drinking more than he should.
- Hairstyle Inertia: His hair is still the same as when he was 9 years old.
- Hot-Blooded: Just like his big bro.
- Older Than They Look: As Mamoru enters his twenties, he noticed his Ma'am Shock greeting towards Guy back when he was a kid is coming back to haunt him in an ironic manner—people kept mistaking him as a kid (or at most, a teenager); and Mamoru's voice not changing only makes it worse. Not to mention this was also Alouette’s first impression of him.Mamoru (in tears): “I’m not a kid…I’m already 20, you know…”
- Nice Guy: He is as sweet as he was back when we first met him 10 years ago.

Voiced by: Mitsuki Saiga (JP, SRW-30)
An experienced GGG member who is now a co-pilot of GaoGaiGo with Mamoru Amami.
- Badass Longcoat: His GGG uniform is the only one that has this.
- Chaste Hero: In normal social activity, underneath his mature Long-Haired Pretty Boy exterior is a boy with a rather innocent mindset, especially noticeable whenever he’s hanging around his childhood friends. It’s not until Alouette bluntly squeeing over one of his gratitude gestures that he realizes his looks is starting to attract the opposite sex; and is noticeably uncomfortable.
- Character Development: Compared to the original series, he has accepted his life on Earth and opened up a lot, like being in First-Name Basis with Mamoru when he used to call him Amami, and being much more expressive overall.
- Embarrassing Nickname: Yuka likes to call him "Angel", much to Ikumi's chagrin.
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: He harbored feelings for Yuka, but Ikumi had no problem for her to marry someone else as long as she’s happy about it.
- Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Based on manga flashbacks, Ikumi sported a shoulder-length ponytail by the beginning of middle school, which meant he probably started saving his full head of hair since late 6th grade. Ikumi’s looks and voice change is more on par with his age, which makes Mamoru look way younger in comparison.
- Momma's Boy: He cares greatly for his elderly adoptive mother.
- Razor-Sharp Hand: When fighting he uses his hands to launch slashes that can cut through weapons and armor.
- Scarf of Asskicking: His armor has a red one, probably inspired by J's.
- Ship Tease: With Alouette. But he’s more of a Clueless Chick-Magnet with a simple mind.
- Not as clueless as he seems. He's somewhat aware of her feelings for him, but doesn't know how to handle it. Later in the book he admits that he's come to enjoy the time they spend together a lot.

- Ace Pilot: Despite not piloting within the the 10-year gap since the end of Betterman, his battles using the Kakuseijin V2 show that his skills have not waned.

- Big Damn Heroes: Saves Mamoru and Hinoki from Ruin Volfogg
- The Call Knows Where You Live: Played for Laughs. He'd just taken out a thirty-year mortgage on a new house for him and Hinoki… only to see it smashed by a Zero Robo. Once Chandi, Mitsuo, and Kei send the Kakuseijin V2 over to him… let's just say he wholeheartedly activates his "Vindictive Mode"…

- Covert Pervert: While she's loyal and happy in her relationship with Keita, she's not blind to the attractiveness of the men around her, notably getting flustered at seeing Mamoru in his dive suit. A line from Keita also indicates she enjoys their messing around a lot more than she lets on.
- High-School Sweethearts: With Keita, whose proposal she accepts.
- Mandatory Unretirement: Briefly comes back into the field as one of Kakuseijin GaiGo's Head Divers after Ikumi is rendered hors de combat. She later becomes a Head Diver for Kakuseijin V2 alongside Keita.

- Secret-Keeper: He is the only one aside from Mamoru and Ikumi who is aware about the similarities between the Conqueror King and Genesic GaoGaiGar.
- Unscrupulous Hero: Type 2. Yang is a good guy by all standards, but he as a high-end A.I. mecha developer has the preference to work on mechs for strength and defense in times of war over disaster relief. Such as if he had to decide between GGG putting attention in disaster relief or Project Z, he would likely side with the latter.
Shigeru Akamatsu

- Commonality Connection: Shigeru and his sister Renais met before the novel and bonded through their shared dislike for their father Liger.

- Like a Son to Me: How he sees Keita and Hinoki.
- Married to the Job: His focus on the company had its personal cost such as estranging his wife from him.

The team of braves who were left behind in the Trinary Solar System and rendered M.I.A. by Earth 8 years prior to the start of this series. The mission to retrieve these members, dead or alive is the ultimate goal for Gutsy Global Guard.
Editorial Note: Being main heroes of the first two series, general tropes in regards to GGG Green members goes to either The King of Braves GaoGaiGar or The King of Braves GaoGaiGar: FINAL. Tropes that bridge Betterman characters, and new entries in relations to GGG vs. B should be placed here.
In General
- Fish out of Temporal Water: For them only a few weeks had passed since they left to the Trinary System, but on Earth, 8 years have passed; which set the retrieved GGG members in initial confusion.

Codenamed as “Evoluder Guy,” Gai was a young astronaut who became a Cyborg Mobile Unit pilot for GGG and gained back his human form by evolving into an "Evoluder" note over the course of The King of Braves GaoGaiGar series. Now hailed as Earth’s legendary hero, he was the first member of GGG Green who was safely retrieved and reunited with GGG Blue due to being ejected through a dimensional gate near Jupiter by Galeon.
- Badass Longcoat: Starts wearing one as the Acting Chief of GGG Green.
- Celibate Hero: Due to Guy’s Evoluder genetic makeup being predominantly alien. While already Happily Married and having the right to reproduce, Guy is concerned that if he had biological offsprings with Mikoto, who herself is also a Semi-Evoluder, their genetics would potentially produce a race of Earthlings as super humans, and feared racism would come between future Evoluders and regular humans. Therefore, when it comes to family raising topics, he voiced his opinion to adopt rather than to reproduce.
- His opinions may change after his final battle with Betterman, which resulted in Guy’s dominant alien gene being taken out; devolving him into a Semi-Evoluder. But this is left up in the air, literally.
- Last of His Kind: Sort of. After Guy's return to the GGG base, he's made Acting Chief of GGG Green and Captain of his mobile unit by virtue of being its only member.
- Passing the Torch: Due to being the only one with the power to perform, Guy had no other choice but to serve as GGG’s Mobile Unit pilot for the past two series. Now that there's a new generation of pilots installed, he's more than happy to step down from his position to properly fulfill his dream of following his mother’s footsteps in becoming a space scholar flying the galaxy by the epilogue.
- Red Baron: The Brave.
Renais Cardiff Shishioh
Voiced by: Yumi Kakazu (JP, SRW-30)
Daughter of Liger Shishioh, younger half-sister of Shigeru Akamatsu and Soldato-J's love interest.- Ship Tease: Carrying on from FINAL, she has some with J. During the battle in Antartica, she wields the fallen King J-Der's J-Quath as a broadsword and fights back to back with J in J-Der, the narration noting the comfort she takes from hearing his voice without even seeing him. She also joins him, Guy and Mikoto in their journey aboard the J-Ark in the ending.
- Took a Level in Badass: Piloting GaoFighGar during the final battle certainly counts.
Mikoto Utsugi
Guy's wife and lead operator for GaoGaiGar.
- Happily Married: She married Guy at the beginning of FINAL with their ceremony stopped mid-way, but eventually they get to go on their "honeymoon" by the end of GGGvsB.
Liger Shishioh
Shigeru and Renais' father, and one of the world's top ten scientists.
- Hates Their Parent: He's on the receiving end of this trope, as all of his offsprings, especially the bastard group, openly hates him for his Really Gets Around resume and wholeheartedly goes Nom de Mom; formally disowning their relations with Liger. This includes Renais, but she is by far the only known one who softened up to accept her dad’s surname.
- Really Gets Around: Liger had 7 different marriages and fathered 28 children; most of them being bastard children.
- Sibling Rivalry: Liger and Leo had one, though Liger considers his late brother as the better one for being able to create many different equpiments for GaoGaiGar based in Galeon's data.
Koutaro Taiga
Voiced by: Kouji Ishii (JP, SRW-30)
Former Chief of Gutsy Galaxy Guard now the brain behind the plans of the Conqueror's Thralls.

Voiced by: Mitsuaki Madono (JP, SRW-30)
Simply known as “Soldato J,” he is the last surviving member of the Soldato corps created by Abel of the Red Planet. Now corrupted by Triple-Zero, he pilots Ruin King J-Der the “Conqueror King of the Red Planet.”
- But Now I Must Go: After they finally save Earth from Triple Zero, J decides to leave the planet because a peaceful planet is unfitting for a warrior like him.
- In the end he goes alongside Guy, Mikoto and Renais in a space travel to find more sources of Triple Zero.
- The Rival: To Guy, though this time J accepts Guy as the stronger one for not being corrupted by Triple Zero.
GGG Mecha
Mobile Unit: GGG Blue
Porc-Auto / Big Porc-Auto
A robot designed to help Renais on her missions as a part of Chasseur. His Ai was based on Eric "Gentleman" Fowler, Renais's partner who was killed in battle.- Back from the Dead: Porc-Auto was destroyed in a mission prior to the events of FINAL but a back up of his AI was saved by Professor Liger.
- Came Back Strong: During his time as Renais'partner Porc-Auto was damaged and lost his ability to transform in humanoid form, this was fixed when he was rebuilt and was also given the ability to turn into Big Porc-Auto.
- Expy: He is one to Volfogg. He can even combine with two robots similar to the Gunmachines to become Big Porc-Auto.
- The Cameo: He or a car that looks like him shows up in the second episode of FINAL being driven by Renais.
- The Rival: Fowler had a rivality with the person Volfogg's AI was based on, this influenced both their A.I.s during the battle against Ruin Volfogg in G-Island.
Getsuryuu and Nichiryuu
Getsuryuu (Moon Dragon) and Nichiryuu (Sun Dragon) are twin sister robots made by GGG Germany. Unlike their older siblings they don't seem to get along very well. Their combined form is Seiryuujin.- Berserk Button: For the love of all that is good, do not hurt Shouryuu!
- Fusion Dance: They can merge together to become Seiryuujin. Later on they can also merge with Shouryuu becoming ShoSeiryuujin. Later still, after freeing Kouryuu and Anryuu from the control of Triple Zero, the four Brave Machines' SympaRate exceeds 200 percent, and they perform the same Miraculous Symmetrical Docking used by their brother Braves, becoming Kiryuujin (Kouryuu and Nichiryuu) and Shinryuujin (Anryuu and Getsuryuu). In the same chapter, the insanity gets cranked up even further still when the Bettermen fuse to ShinRyuuJin's armor and create Musou Shinryuujin.
- Running Gag: Just like Enryuu, Rairyuu and Anryuu before her, Nichiryuu inherits their inability to land properly.
- Sibling Rivalry: The two have one due to being sent on separate missions from each other. This prevents them from developing a complete SympaRate needed to perform Symmetrical Docking.
Shouryuu
Shouryuu (Flying Dragon) was initially designed around the same time as Volfogg and he was meant to combine with Chouryuujin. However, due to GGG's urgent need to develop the Goldion Hammer, his construction was delayed until he was finally activated in 2009.- Accidental Misnaming: There's a Running Gag where Shouryuu will call Porc-Auto by a different name to his current form, like saying Porc-Auto while the latter is in it's Big Porc-Auto form.
- The Baby of the Bunch: The youngest of the Super A.I.s with Getsu and Nichi being so protective of him that Shou being in danger is something that allows to fuse despite their typical differences.
- Fusion Dance: He can realize a Triple Docking with any fused dragon, the resulting mecha will have "Sho" at the start of it's name.
- Running Gag: Calling Big Porc-Auto "Porc-Auto" and vice-versa, prompting [Big] Porc-Auto to correct him.
Mobile Unit: GGG Green
Galeon
The mechanical lion that fought alongside GGG through many battles, now corrupted by Triple Zero he became the Conqueror King of the Green Planet who will destroy humanity. Later in the story the Somniums travel to 2003 and brought the past Galeon from inmediatly after the fight against El-02 to help in the war against the Hakaioh apostles.- Detachment Combat: Corrupted Genesic can separate from the Genesic GaoMachines and they fight independently.

Antagonists
Bio-Net
An international criminal syndicate that has operated since at least a decade before the original GGG was founded. During the events of the original series they remained hidden until after Mamoru left Earth, after that they started a conflict with GGG which is still on-going during the events of the novel.
In General
- Hoist by His Own Petard: One of their victims was a Bio-Net general who after being purified revealed the location of their headquarters.
- Would Hurt a Child: They have no problem using children as test subject, Renais is a good example.
Doctor Thanatos.
Current leader of Bio-Net.
- Ax-Crazy: He got infected with Algernon which made him go mad, this is the reason of Bio-Net's recent illogical actions.
- Evil Knockoff: His Imitation Zonder Robo form looks like Genesic.
- Evil Old Folks: He is old and the leader of a terrorist organization so this goes without saying.
Conqueror's Thralls
Beings who have been turned into vessels for the mysterious extra-dimensional force "Triple Zero" and now seek to reduce every living thing in the Solar System into particles of light. They serve as the main antagonists of King Of Kings: GaoGaiGar vs. Betterman.
- And I Must Scream: They are completely aware of their actions but are being forced to obey the cosmic laws and destroy humanity.
- Big Bad: They serve as the main antagonists of this series.
- The Corrupter: Corrupted the entirety of GGG (and Soldato J) with the exception of Guy.
- Demonic Possession: Takes over Genesic GaoGaiGar to use as its body.
- I Have Many Names: Originally it was known as Oath Over Omega, then dubbed Triple Zero by GGG and finally was called Hakaioh by everyone when it appears over Jupiter.
- It doesn't help that Hakaiou has multiple meanings due to the kanji used. 覇界王 mean supreme, world, and king respectively. The English fan translation for the novel and manga uses Overlord before it was changed to King of Ruin. And then there's the completely untranslatable spoken-language element to it all: 覇界王 is, in spoken language, a perfect homonym for 破壊王, or "King of Destruction", which is basically their true goal and calls back to FINAL and the various reveals about Genesic GaoGaiGar's intended role (and all the talk of "creation vs. destruction" from the Sol Masters). In the English version of Super Robot Wars 30, Haikaiou is offically called Conqueror King while the collective group as a whole is called Conqueror's Thralls.
- Incendiary Exponent: Nothing quite screams "using the Power to carry out the will of a god of destruction" than the robots it possesses constantly being engulfed in an orange flame.
- The Man Behind the Man: Leo speculates that it influenced the Z-Master into attacking Earth.
- The Reveal: It is the source of The POWER and the origin of the universe.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Even lampshaded by the main cast. Conqueror's Thralls and the Zero Robos are extremely similar to the defeated Zonderians and Zonder robos from the original GaoGaiGar.
- Wham Shot: It's the being seen at the end of the Project Z trailer.
- Done at the end of the third manga chapter of Hakaiou: GaoGaiGar vs. Betterman.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: They wish to save the universe by destroying humanity who they view as a threat.
