Team Blade

    Adam Blade 
Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu (Japanese), Romi Park (Japanese, child), Andrew Love (English), Ferso Velázquez (Latin American Spanish), Héctor Ireta de Alba (Latin American Spanish, child)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/adam_blade.png

The only successful result of an experiment by the Japanese government and the 666 Committee to create a clone of "The Second." Spends his time hiding out in a church, wearing the jacket of a priest even though he has no knowledge of the bible, the priesthood, or anything outside of fighting really. His only weakness is his admitted love of little girls. Adam Blade has the Zero Fragment, which gives him the ability to memorize any power he is hit with and then use it on his own.


  • And This Is for...: Did this to Setsuna; he gave her a series of strikes for his closer friends, grouped everyone together for another round, and then lightly tapped her on the arm for Cruz.
  • Anti-Hero: He's pretty much universally recognized as the strongest Needless and the one who will bring humanity to salvation, but he abuses his powers and the perks they give him for all they're worth and is generally a brutish asshole.
  • Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: He does this like Saten and Arclight, which leads to open the gate to where the Angels are.
  • Ax-Crazy: He'd easily be the villain too based on his fights.
  • Badass Longcoat: He's a badass wearing a slightly battered black longcoat.
  • Badass Preacher: He's a destroyer priest who lives in the church in Sector 533.
  • Cannibalism Superpower: Devours the invading angel and awakens into a God.
  • Characterization Marches On: He acts much more subdued and calm with a bit of a temper in the first episode. From the second episode onwards, he gets gradually more unpleasant, openly perverted, and acting just as inane as the rest of the heroes. He shows bits of his initial traits briefly during the Seto/Solva flashback, but this vanishes when it's back in the present.
  • Clone Jesus: He's a clone of the strongest Needless, "The Second Christ".
  • Cool Shades: Lost them for a while after Arclight blew everything up, but regained them by the Eve's Story arc.
  • Fusion Dance: He fuses with Eve in the final chapter, complete with Gender Bender.
  • Gender Bender: His fusion with Eve results in a female version of Adam with Eve's body figure.
  • Heroic Comedic Sociopath: He has very little empathy for others and is incredibly violent and self centered, though he tends to clean up his act quite a bit when the situation gets more serious.
  • Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Eve comes up to only about half of his torso.
  • If It's You, It's Okay: Though briefly catatonic, he decides Cruz dressed as a girl is cute enough to unreservedly lust after. That said, he'd prefer Cruz to be female, and takes the first opportunity to act on it.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He exclusively refers to his allies as minions, sexually harasses the female ones and treats the male ones like garbage. He does show rarely that care deeply for Eve as well as his comrades to an extent.
  • Mega Manning: His Needless Ability allows him to copy the abilities of other Needless after observing them once. While he perfectly replicates them, certain abilities, like Eve's shapeshifting, are too taxing on his body for him to pull off as effectively as the original user.
  • Mr. Fanservice: He's good looking and has a ridiculously chiseled physique, which he shows off in glorious detail in the first opening sequence.
  • Non P.O.V. Protagonist: Indisputably the main character of the series, though the story is told from Cruz's perspective. As a result, we almost never get to hear his thoughts or learn the reasoning behind his actions and he overall remains a pretty big enigma.
  • No Shirt, Long Jacket: He wears no shirt with his Badass Longcoat.
  • Nun Too Holy: He dresses as a priest but isn't one. Why Cruz calls him "Father" still is beyond anyone.
  • Out-of-Character Moment: For the entirety of his adventures with Seto when they first met Solva, while retaining his usual lolicon flaw, Blade acts much more level-headed, supportive and calm. This stands out to his usual Hot-Blooded, completely selfless and often deranged behavior most of the time.
  • Physical God: Awakens to his godly power after devouring a angel in chapter 112.
  • Power Perversion Potential: The first use he makes of his Godly power? Why turn Cruz into a girl! Then after that, resurrect Solva and Seto... NAKED! In the last chapter, he seemingly make his dream that women would wear only socks into a reality as well.
  • Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Manly Man to Cruz's Sensitive Guy.
  • Super-Toughness: Being a clone of The Second, he has a skeletal structure attached with a special metal called Orihalcum, making him take less damage than any other human.
  • Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Implied to be Saten and Cruz's fault for making him a pervert, but he was already getting to be the Blade we know in the Eve's Story Arc.

    Eve Nueschwanstein 
Voiced by: Eri Kitamura (Japanese), Brittney Karbowski (English), Erika Langarica (Latin American Spanish)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eve_nueschwanstein.png

Adam Blade's only real friend in this world and terrible with remembering anyone else's name. Eve has the "Doppelganger" ability, which allows her to morph her body into any shape or form. She can heal herself and others from most damage and impersonate other people, but this power is offset by a constant need for calories to balance the drain this power puts on her body.


  • Action Girl: One of the biggest ones in the series.
  • Badass in Distress: Got this on her three times; once in the past when she melted and became just a brain, another time during the Simeon Arc (which actually caused the heroes to go there in the first place), and one more when she began to melt again and had to get Eden's Seed injected into her.
  • Brain Transplant: After a accident that would slowly kill Kasumi, her sister gave half of her brain to her while Blade gave a part of his to her later.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: When she was suffering from Black Attraction.
  • Cast from Calories: Her shapeshifting powers run on calories.
  • Deuteragonist: The most important character in the series after Blade.
  • The Ditz: She's horrible with names, falls for obvious traps and can't keep up with exposition at all.
  • Fusion Dance: She fuses with Adam in the final chapter.
  • Healing Factor: Thanks to Doppelganger, she can heal anyone. This skill is handy, as she's the only medic on the team.
  • Losing Your Head: Got her head ripped off by Gido.
  • Morality Pet: Pretty much the only person Blade cares about besides himself. Whenever her life is in danger, Blade is at his most heroic.
  • Ms. Fanservice: She always wears nothing, but a very revealing midriff exposing attire, shows off her legs and is often the victim of losing her clothes to expose to cause her figure to even more more revealing than it's already is.
  • This Is a Drill: Her main weapon is a drill.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: Her Fragment "Doppelganger" gives her the ability to shapeshift into anything.

    Cruz Schild 
Voiced by: Aya Endo (Japanese), Luci Christian (English), Carlos Siller (Latin American Spanish)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cruz_schild.png

The only survivor of the short lived Resistance movement in the Black Spot, Cruz is a normal person who lacks any Needless ability. So he makes up for it by talking to and analyzing other Needless.


  • Accidental Misnaming: He is often referred to as "Yamada" since Eve couldn't remember his name.
  • Action Survivor: He's good at thinking on his feet and staying alive. Chapter 100 reveals he had a Fragment that allowed him to escape danger.
  • Adorably Precocious Child: He acts as the sensible, mature voice of reason to the insanity of his childish and insane colleagues. Justified as being in the Black Spot forced him to mature much more quickly.
  • Attack Reflector: His ability as a Needless allows to repel any attack with his hand and is named Shield of Aegis.
  • Attractive Bent-Gender: Just about every member of the cast is attracted to Cruz when he is Dragged into Drag and the whole cast wants for Cruz to stay a girl after he undergoes a Gender Bender.
  • Awesomeness by Analysis: His innate talent is figuring out the enemies' weaknesses through observation and delivering that information to his colleagues. Something he and his sister share.
  • The Chew Toy: He seems to get the worst luck imaginable. He's misnamed by his colleagues, often forced into servitude and being the brunt of abuse. It's not nearly as bad as what happens to him in the manga.
  • Cosmic Plaything: The universe seems to go out of its way to torment Cruz on every opportunity on top of the usual abuse he gets. His sister turns out to not only had faked her death, but is also one of Simeon's Four Great Ones- nearly killing him on the first opportunity post- reveal. It gets worse in the manga. He's then forced to crossdress, which gets the attention of Blade to his horror, leading to him now wearing it all the time. Cruz then sees his sister dies and is then permanently turned into a girl against his will by Blade, with everyone shutting down his decision to reverse it.
  • Disguised in Drag: He initially dons the girls' uniform of St. Rose Academy in order to stay incognito (a plan his allies put into effect before he agrees to it). After leaving there, he continues wearing it for multiple reasons — his old clothes were thrown away, he's wanted and needs a disguise, and everyone prefers that he continue dressing like a girl anyway.
  • Even the Guys Want Him: Blade certainly likes cross-dressing Cruz, even when he's young.
  • Foreshadowing: In order: he stopped his sister from killing him (not Arclight's orders), the PF Zero Blast was stated to have the power to kill anyone not a Needless that was caught in the blast, he stopped a Testament without even touching it, blocked deadly rain, and time after time he not only stayed away from any near death status, save for one time, but he had somehow survived any attack meant to kill him, like Setsuna's slap that should've broken his neck twice.
  • Gender Bender: Is turned by Blade into a girl after he acquires his powers as a god.
  • Girlish Pigtails: He uses hair extensions when dressed as a girl, making him look even more feminine.
  • Heroic BSoD: Upon learning that his sister was a traitor.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Constantly tries to pull this and even gives sappy little lines when he thinks he's about to die. Thankfully, he hasn't fallen yet.
  • I Am Not Left-Handed: Revealed to be a Needless as of chapter 100.
  • Only Sane Man: Up until the Eve's Story Arc, where Saten and he pass this back and forth.
  • School Uniforms are the New Black: He started wearing the St. Rose Academy girls' uniform when attending classes there, and never got the opportunity to change into anything else (barring when he was briefly disguised as his sister).
  • Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Sensitive Guy to Blade's Manly Man.
  • Supporting Protagonist: Despite being the central viewpoint character, the series is really about Blade and Eve.
  • Tritagonist: Despite being the viewpoint character, his plot line is clearly secondary to Blade and Eve's.
  • Took a Level in Badass: After discovering his power.
  • Wholesome Crossdresser: Initially dresses as a girl to survive at a school, but then circumstances conspire to make sure he remains that way.

    Gido (a.k.a. Dr. Rikudou Gid) 
Voiced by: Kenji Utsumi (Japanese), David Wald (English), Jesse Conde (Latin American Spanish)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gin_rikudou.png

A scientist who worked on the project that ended up creating Adam Blade and Adam Arclight, he generally tags along with the group and tries to care for Adam Blade but usually gets shoved into the background.


  • Adaptational Heroism: Due to the anime never reaching the point in the manga where it's revealed he's actually the leader of the 666 committee, using Blade and everyone for his own ambitions. He's portrayed as a good person and genuinely a caring, if not flawed parent figure.
  • Bald of Evil: He's bald and later he reveals that he is in fact the leader of the 666 committee.
  • Evil All Along: In the manga, he's initially portrayed as a wise advisor to the team and Blade's father figure. It's revealed near the end of the manga that he not only is using Blade for his own ambitions, but also is the true leader of the 666 committee behind Arclight.
  • Fountain of Youth: Once he activates his Adam powers his body becomes more youthful.
  • In the Back: Stabs Blade from behind to reveal his role as the leader of Triple 6.
  • Love Makes You Evil: His desire to save Kasumi has led him to join the 666 committee he hated.
  • The Mole: It's later revealed that he used Blade to achieve his own ambitions. Working within Blade's group in order to get his own ambitions as the leader of the Triple Six committee achieved.
  • Parental Substitute: He took care Adam and Eve when they were young. It's later subverted when his real intention where shown.
  • Power at a Price: The price of activating his Adam power is that his body will eventually fall apart. Hasn't happened yet though.
  • Walking Spoiler: Just see how many entries are white.

    Teruyama Momiji 
Voiced by: Kentarō Itō (Japanese), Rob Mungle (English), Javi Sánchez (Latin American Spanish)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/teruyama_momiji.png

The hot-blooded needless with the ability to create and toss large balls of fire at his opponents. He bears a grudge against Adam Arclight, but accidentally gets into fights with Adam Blade over a case of mistaken identity.


  • Back from the Dead: He's resurrected as a clone and then brought back as the original.
  • Big Ol' Eyebrows: He has a pair of thick and spiky eyebrows.
  • Butt-Monkey: He's the most frequent victim of slapstick in the series.
  • Came Back Strong: Both his clone and the original as they bear Stigmata.
  • A God Am I: Teruyama is very prideful of his abilities, but never claims he's anything close to a god. Played straight with his clone, however.
  • Hot-Blooded: As befitting of his fiery power, he's very passionate and is able to keep up with the hamminess of the other characters.
  • The One Guy: At the end of the series, Gido and Saten are both dead and Blade and Cruz have both undergone gender bending, making him the only male on the main team.
  • Playing with Fire: His fragment allows control over Fire.

    Disk 
Voiced by: Emiri Katou (Japanese), Serena Varghese (English), Harumi Nishizawa (Latin American Spanish)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/disk_needless.png

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


  • Covert Pervert: Initially. After becoming nothing but a head for a while and regaining her body she stopped hiding it.
  • Girlish Pigtails: She's a young girl wearing her hair in two big pigtails.
  • More Dakka: Along with BFG, she had once use this.
  • Ms. Exposition: More or less her main role.
  • Older Than They Look: Despite having an artificial body resembling a young girl, she's actually 100 years old.
  • Robot Girl: Apparently a Cyborg, but she's managed to survive with only her head.
  • The Smart Girl: she's the most tech savvy and knowledgeable of the group. Justified as she had a century and the ability to gain information to become that knowledgeable.

    Seto 
Voiced by: Kaori Fukuhara (Japanese), Maggie Flecknoe (English), Alejandra Delint (Latin American Spanish)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/seto_needless.png

One of Adam Blade's old comrade's who wields a BFS and calls herself a "shinigami" (God of Death). She has a love of money. Her Needless power is Graviton, the ability to manipulate gravity.


  • Anti-Hero: She's not too bad of a person, but she's completely selfish and greedy and is willing to do whatever it takes to make a quick buck.
  • Gravity Master: Her Fragment allows gravity control.
  • Greed: Big time, yet downplayed. Her dream is to be rich, and the only reason she met Kana was because she was promised money. Even then though, she barely mentions being greedy during her appearances, and you'd only know this if you read Chapter 0.
  • Shinigami: Subverted. She is actually playing that role base from her powers itself.
  • Those Two Girls: She's always around Solva, serving as a duo that are almost never seen apart.

    Solva 
Voiced by: Asami Imai (Japanese), Elizabeth Bunch (English), Elizabeth Infante (Latin American Spanish)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/solva_needless.png

Another little girl and comrade of Adam Blade who dreams of being an Evil Overlord of Black Spot one day. Her Needless ability is "Magnetic World," which can be used to attract or repel objects and people alike.


  • Anti-Hero: She's the only unambiguously evil character on Blade's party with ambitions to rule as a tyrant over the Black Spot. She is on the heroes' side due to Simeon being worse than her and needing them to be gone to achieve her own ambitions.
  • Bait the Dog: Cute, up until she reveals her Fragment.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Even with being the ambitious, deceptive and evil, even she finds Simeon to be worse than her.
  • Magnetism Manipulation: Solva has Magnetism as her power, which works likes the Half-Life 2 Gravity Gun, except it allows her attract/repel anything since it's specifically the power to create a "unique magnetic field".
  • Those Two Girls: With Seto, being always with her in spite of their differing ideologies. They're almost never seen apart from each other.
  • Token Evil Teammate: Especially her alternate personality. Not that the heroes are much more heroic.

Simeon Pharmaceuticals

    Adam Arclight 
Voiced by: Hiroki Tochi (Japanese), David Matranga (English), Ernesto Mascarúa (Latin American Spanish)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/adam_arclight.png

The Evil Counterpart of Adam Blade, who was considered the last failure of the same project that produced Adam Blade. Even though he carries the same ability to absorb any other Needless ability in the vicinity, Arclight's body has been decaying due to a genetic defect. So he has taken control of the pharmaceutical company Simeon in Black Spot to find a way to keep his body from literally falling apart.


    Rira Roukakouji 
Voiced by: Megumi Toyoguchi (Japanese), Taylor Hannah (English), Valeria Zenil (Latin American Spanish)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rira_roukakouji.png

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


  • Alliterative Name: Rira Roukakouji
  • Co-Dragons: Alongside Saten.
  • Eaten Alive: At the end of the manga, she by her own Pretty Girl Squad, controlled by Saten.
  • Psychic Powers: Her fragment allows her the most potent psychic powers in the series.
  • Retcon: The reveal that she's an Eve contradicts how, in a bonus chapter, she was a normal, though powerful, Needless who had a cult following and never even heard of Arclight before he found her.
  • The Reveal: Revealed to be an Eve and the counterpart to Arclight.
  • Sexy Slit Dress: She wears a dress with a high slit up the thigh.
  • Superpower Lottery: Her power makes it impossible for any of Team Blade except Cruz to fight her.
  • Undying Loyalty: To Adam Arclight.
  • Vapor Wear: In not one of her costumes does she seem to wear underwear.

    Saten 
Voiced by: Kishow Taniyama (Japanese), Leraldo Anzaldua (English), Jaime Collepardo (Latin American Spanish)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/saten_needless.png

A Needless with the power of the "Fourth Wave," or the ability to suck up heat from his surrounding area and then unleash it in a focused blast from his arms. Technically one of Simeon's "Elite Four," though he has been hiding information from Arclight for his own secret reasons.


  • Anti-Hero: He's still on the side of Simeon, but he's shown he's not that bad a guy. He held back against Eve, allowed her to knock him out and heal her dying friends, and without his help, the Eve Story Arc probably would've ended with either Cruz or Blade dying.
  • Big Bad: At the end of the anime. In the manga, he shares the role with Gido.
  • Co-Dragons: Alongside Riru.
  • Clone Jesus: The Real Adam Arclight in the manga.
  • Dragon with an Agenda: His loyalty lies with Gido, rather than Arclight
  • Elemental Absorption: The Fourth Wave ability. He's learned how to not only absorb heat, but he can cast it in such a way that looks like he has four Fragments.
  • Enigmatic Minion: It's hard to tell whose side he is on.
  • Godhood Seeker: After revealing himself to be the real Adam Arclight, he then reveals he plans on going directly to the Angels Galaxy in order to become a complete God.
  • Heel–Face Revolving Door: Switches sides constantly later on in the series, though ultimately his only allegiance is to himself.
  • I Am Not Left-Handed: His strongest power is the "Fifth Wave".
  • Luke, I Am Your Father: Or at the very least he created Arclight just so he could fall apart when him and Gido act on their plans.
  • Monochromatic Eyes: More often than not his eyes are blank, but when he's in deep thought or on some close-ups, he'll magically gain irises and pupils. Averted in the anime; turns out he has red eyes.
  • Pointless Band-Aid: Lampshaded in the Eve's Story Arc

    Uten 
Voiced by: Mayumi Yamaguchi (Japanese), Greg Ayres (English), Alex Villamar (Latin American Spanish)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/uten_needless.png

A little boy who's obsessed with magic. His Fragment is "Bermuda Athport", which allows him to turn things invisible. Another of Simeon's "Elite Four", though the title "Uten" is actually passed down from person to person,


  • Ax-Crazy: His clone is really unhinged since getting a stigmata.
  • Back from the Dead: He's brought back to life as a Clone.
  • Came Back Strong: His clone.
  • Character Catchphrase: "It's magic~!"
  • Disc-One Final Boss: In the anime, he's the first of Simeon's Shitennou they faced and had a power that essentially made him a Puzzle Boss compared to the more direct combat applications of the other three's fragments.
  • Smug Snake: Compared to the other members of the Elite Four, he relies heavily on the fact that people can't figure out the true nature of his Fragment, being overly smug about it and becomes cowardly once he's exposed, with nothing else he can defend himself with.
  • Stage Magician; his schtick, using invisible trickery to pretend he's a reality warping god. Eve and Cruz even refer to him as this when his trick is exposed.
  • With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Most of those who bear Stigmata are driven insane by it.

    Aruka Schild 
Voiced by: Mariya Ise (Japanese), Carli Mosier (English), Diana Nolan (Latin American Spanish)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aruka_schild.png

Cruz's older sister. She was believed to have died while protecting Cruz from a Testament. In reality, she is the final member of the Four Elite of the Simeon Tower and the one that leaked the resistance force's information to Simeon.


  • The Mole: She was a member of La Résistance opposing Simeon's tyrannical rule over the Black Spot. In truth, however, she is an undercover agent of Simeon to retrieve the stolen microchip to the rooster of Resistance members.
  • Navel-Deep Neckline: She wears her blue long coat completely open at the front, only holding it in place with a belt, and she doesn't wear a shirt underneath, exposing her cleavage and belly.
  • Off with Her Head!: Though Arclight was still able to keep her alive in such a state.
  • Send in the Clones: Arclight cloned a army of young Arukas.
  • Single Substance Manipulation: Her fragment "The Breath of Fire" allows her to accelerate the kinetic energy to vibrate the molecules resulting in massive explosions, melting solid objects and incinerating anything in mere seconds.
  • Vapor Wear: Currently, her underwear is not only her pants, but apparently has a gaping hole in the most important spot.

Pretty Girl Squad

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

    Setsuna 
Voiced by: Saori Goto (Japanese), Jessica Boone (English), Wendy Malvárez (Latin American Spanish)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/setsuna_needless.png

The leader of her trio of "Pretty Girl Squad" with Mio and Kuchinashi.


  • Fragile Speedster: While she is fast, her fights with Eve and Blade prove she isn't particularly strong.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Is jealous that she didn't receive a Stigmata while a member of Team Blade, Teruyama, received one.
  • Iconic Outfit: In-universe: Her striped panties. Cruz recognizes her even though he can't see her face because his head is under her skirt.
  • Super-Speed: She uses her "Speed" power to attack fast and hard before the opponent has time to react.

    Mio 
Voiced by: Yui Makino (Japanese), Hilary Haag (English), Amellalli Guevara (Latin American Spanish)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mio_needless.png

One of the recurring characters from Simeon's "Pretty Girl Squad." She carries around a deceptively-heavy teddy bear.


  • Affably Evil: Out of the trio, she's the most genuinely friendly in spite of being a loyal killer of Simeon. She even aids Cruz for a decent while, and develops a friendship with him that causes her to feel conflicted on her duties and her newfound bonds.
  • Ass Kicks You: Her most common move, Mio-chan Hip Attack.
  • Children Are Cruel: She acts like and seems to be a little child, but in the manga, she eviscerated a fellow girl squad member because she started a fight.
  • Cute Bruiser: She's as cute as a button, but can also easily crush you.
  • Enemy Mine: After the events at the Simeon building, she stumbles across Cruz and walks the wastelands with him.
  • Face–Heel Revolving Door: As a result of befriending Cruz, she has a hard time choosing between being with him and being with her friends. In the end, she joins Adam Blade's side.
  • Genki Girl: She's almost always happy and energic.
  • Iconic Outfit: In-universe: Her bear panties. This stops Mio and Disk from attacking the cross-dressing Cruz, since Setsuna gave him several pairs to give to Mio.
  • Little Miss Badass: She's not in the girl squad without a reason.
  • Nice Girl: Despite being enemies, she is sweet to a fault. She even helped Cruz recover after the Simeon building was destroyed.
  • Super-Strength: She has the Needless power of "Power". Just like it sounds, she has the power of super-strength.

    Kuchinashi 
Voiced by: Minori Chihara (Japanese), Hilary Haag (English), Valeria Erives (Latin American Spanish)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kuchinashi_needless.png

A girl who never speaks. Kuchinashi uses a fan strapped to her wrist for her Needless ability of "Fragrance," which can paralyze opponents or even partially control their bodies. She communicates her thoughts with a sketchpad and a sharpie that she pulls out of hammerspace.


  • Elective Mute: Though she can speak, she prefers not to. Except when she uses her ultimate attack.
  • If It's You, It's Okay: Like Blade she feels this way towards Wholesome Crossdresser Yamada.
  • Lipstick Lesbian: She's elegant, feminine, and very open about her affections toward women.
  • Lotus-Eater Machine: Her ultimate attack, which allows people to see their greatest and/or happiest dream. Eve dreamed of correctly guessing everyone's name, Cruz dreamed of seeing his (nicer) sister, Teruyama dreamed of defeating both Blade and Arclight, Gido dreamed of seeing his long-lost assistant who he loved, Seto dreamed of being rich, and Solva dreamed of ruling the world. Disc wasn't affected due to being a Cyborg, and Blade "was already in paradise".
  • Meaningful Name: Her name literally means "no mouth", referencing the fact that she chooses to never speak.
  • Talking with Signs: She writes what she wants to say on a notepad.
