- A Day in the Limelight: A large part of Episode 1 of SD Gundam World Heroes focuses on his encounter with Wukong Impulse Gundam.

- Cool Bike: While all of the characters have motorcycles, Zhao Yun is one of the few whose kit comes packages with one, and he excels at bike riding.
- Cool Shades: Heroes shows that he has a pair of retractable sunglasses, using them at one point for a Terminator Shout-Out.
- Disney Death: His apparent explosion was a bomb rather than his body, and he spent time with a nice family before returning for the final battle.
- Dual Wielding: Carries two swords as his weapons.
- Sacrificial Lion: He's a close friend of Liu Bei, and as such dies in the first episode in a zombie attack, serving as the catalyst for Liu Bei to find a way to stop the Etiolation Trinity and save the world. Except he didn't actually die.
- Terrible Artist: He attempts to rebuild Neo World's Haro as a random sculpture of an unrecognizable form (both as Haro's original sphere and whatever the heck Zhao Yun rebuilt it as) that falls apart on its own.
Ma Chao Gundam Barbatos
- Voiced by: Daishi Kajita
The youngest member of vigilante group "Dragon's Watch". He is hot-blooded during combat, but calm and collected otherwise.

- Nice Guy: While he can be a bit snarky when frustrated, he's generally a kind and easy-going man.

- Not So Above It All: He is rather well-composed unless his hobbies are brought up, in which case he acts rather childish. During Heroes, he shoos some men bullying Wukong Impulse Gundam by analyzing that the valuable vase he broke is actually a fake and then gets excited when he sees the BB Senshi Knight Gundam kit Wukong picked up. It also turns out the town they traveled to, Warrior World, was a detour from their destination Knight World so that Zhuge Liang could buy some novelty erasers.
- The Smart Guy: He's a talented researcher, and the heroes look for him in hopes that he can help to stop the Etiolation Trinity.
Wei Area
Cao Cao Wing Gundam
- Voiced by: Shunsuke Takeuchi
The CEO of ”Blue Wing Corporation” and leader of the Wei Area, looking to solve the Trinity shortage.
- Anti-Villain: His Face–Heel Turn is a result of his desire to stop the Trinity shortage and protect his friends, compared to how Sima Yi merely fed him the ideas but is actually after revenge.
- Benevolent Boss: He's pretty caring of his allies. Being so close to Xun Yu is what makes his death hit so hard.
- Blue Is Heroic: His color scheme is characterized by lots of blue on his otherwise black armor. Note that Tian Ba Cao Cao Wing Gundam, which he obtains after his Face–Heel Turn, reduces the amount of blue to signify his change of heart.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Is manipulated by Sima Yi's hypnosis, making him more maleable to his influences and ultimately vulnerable to his Face-Heel turn. Soshoki expands from the anime to show that he actually resisted the hypnosis and made the choice on his own.
- But Now I Must Go: He leaves Blue Wing in the hands of his subordinates and goes a journey to restore the goodness in him after being vulnerable to Sima Yi's manipulation.
- The Caligula: Right after his Face–Heel Turn, he declares his intent to turn the majority of the Wei Area's population into BUGs.
- Cool Sword: His Iseiken from Heroes.
- Face–Heel Turn: Horrified that Xun Yu was killed in a riot by his own citizens, Cao Cao decides that some people aren't worth saving and prepares to turn most of his citizens into BUGs.
- Master Race: After Xun Yu's death, Cao Cao decides to organize the citizens into ranks to decide who will govern others... and the lower ranks will be turned into BUGs.
- Shoot the Dog:
- When Blue Wing first encounters BUGs that include infected Blue Wing members, Cao Cao instructs his men to let go of their emotions and kill their former comrades to prevent the zombies from spreading to other regions.
- What his Face–Heel Turn boils down to: Xun Yu's death at the hands of greedy civilians convinced him that greedy people will kill others to satisfy their appetites, and it is better to save the exceptional people in the world so the uncontrollable appetite of others will not deplete the world's resources and spell doom for those deserving to live.
- Super Mode:
- Tian Ba Cao Cao Wing Gundam, which can use the Trinity Memories of all of Blue Wing.
- Wielding the Iseiken turns him into Cao Cao Wing Gundam Isei Style.
- The Stoic: Does his best to not show much emotion.
- Vocal Dissonance: He is still supposed to be at a relatively young age during the events of the anime, but has a rather deep voice that suggests he's much older.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Disillusioned with his citizens after Xun Yu's death, Cao Cau decides to turn all but a select few of the Wei Area's population into BUGs, which also fits into Sima Yi's plan to (supposedly) stop the Trinity shortage.
- Worthy Opponent: Lyu Bu considers him one.
Xiahou Dun Tallgeese III

Cao Cao's cousin. He has a wild side compared to his brother.
- Bash Brothers: With Xiahou Yuan.
- Eye Scream: Gets stabbed in the eye during the fight with Lyu Bu Sinanju and Zhang Liao Sazabi. Various opponents point out the weaknesses of his fighting style afterward, but he can still put up a fight.

Xiahou Yuan Tallgeese
- Voiced by: Taro Kiuchi

- Satellite Character: Unlike his brother, Xiahou Yuan has barely any scenes to himself and is mostly there to accompany Xiahou Dun.

- Cyber Cyclops: Though it's actually just a mask.
- Genius Bruiser: He's talented in business despite many of his strengths lying in combat.

An intern at Blue Wing Corporation and Cao Cao's strategist.
- Adapted Out: He only appears in the side manga with no appearances in the main anime, though his armaments are seen as a part of Tian Ba Cao Cao Wing Gundam's combined form.
- Badass Bookworm: If the comic in his model kit shows anything, he's skilled at both fighting and strategizing.
- Cynicism Catalyst: Cao Cao's Face–Heel Turn occurs after Xun Yu is killed and he becomes disillusioned with his citizens for murdering him.
- Dropped a Bridge on Him: He is killed offscreen in a riot.
- Genius Sweet Tooth: Almost every scene he's in has him eating some kind of snack, usually chips or cookies.
- The Intern: His actual occupation at Blue Wing is being an intern and has supposedly stayed as one despite being the one to introduce strategies to Cao Cao.
- Morality Chain: Cao Cao pulls a Face–Heel Turn after Xun Yu is killed.
- Nice Guy: Probably the kindest member of Blue Wing. And such a nice guy being murdered by greedy citizens is what triggers Cao Cao's Face–Heel Turn.
- No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Xun Yu goes around delivering provisions to the citizens of the Wei Area, but a riot breaks out when one Leo complains about his supply of rations (read: the same amount everyone else gets and wasn't complaining about before he did) not being enough. Said Leo shots and kills Xun Yu in the riot.

- Heel–Face Turn: Initially part of a group of bandits, he joined Cao Cao.
Yuan Shao Red Warrior
The CEO of North Fox, a former competitor of Blue Wing Corporation that brought on a rivalry with Cao Cao.

Wu Area
Sun Jian Gundam Astray
- Voiced by: Taro Yamaguchi
The head of the distribution guild "Red Tiger". The Etiolation Trinity lost him one of his important clients, and he holds a grudge against Dong Zhuo Providence Gundam for withdrawing guards from the infected village beforehand.
- Action Dad: He has three kids and is a skilled fighter.
- Like Father, Unlike Son: As Xiahou Yuan points out during their introduction, he and his second son, Sun Quan are very unlike each other.
- Shout-Out: To another Sunrise creation; it's subtle but the tiger-themed Sun Jian Gundam Astray seems to have taken some design cues from a combination of the lion-themed Genesic GaoGaiGar and Guy Shishioh, especially with regards to the red-gold-black armor, clawed feet, and fiery hair.
Sun Quan Gundam Astray
- Voiced by: Kōhei Amasaki
Sun Jian's second son. He acts very meek unless in combat, where his personality completely changes.
- Cutlass Between the Teeth: Simulated; he does not have a mouth, so his sword instead slots into the front of his face.
- Dual Wielding: Carries three swords, two in each hand and one attached to his head.
- Face of a Thug: As Sun Jian Gundam Astray introduces his son, he first exerts a terrifying presence that makes Cao Cao, Zhang Liao Sazabi, and the Xiaohu brothers be quite defensive...then he meekly introduces himself, which surprises Xiaohu Yuan Tallgeese so much he facefaults.
- Nice Guy: For as terrified as he is of everything and how fierce he gets in combat, neither gets in the way of his kindness. He snaps out of his combat personality at one point when he realizes that his opponent is just trying to protect her children rather than attacking them out of malice.
- Sibling Yin-Yang: With Sun Ce. In contrast to Ce, Quan is (normally) shy and quiet.
- Situational Sociability: He has difficulty talking to strangers, as shown when he gives up quickly when trying to find new clients for Red Tiger and in his meek introduction to the members of Blue Wing.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: He is terrified of the ocean.
Taishi Ci Duel Gundam
- Voiced by: Shintarou Oohata
One of Red Tiger's executives.

Gan Ning Crossbone Gundam
- Voiced by: Yu Wakabayashi
The head of staff at the Qiao's manufacturing company.
- Skeleton Motif: It's in the name, but he's actually heroic.

- Gadgeteer Genius: She is a top engineer at her father's business.
- Instrumental Weapon: She uses a guqin that can turn into a rifle. Her sister, Xiao Qiao GN Archer, uses one too.
Xiao Qiao GN Archer
- Voiced by: Honoka Inoue
A top engineer at her father's ship manufacturing company.
- Fangirl: Towards Zhou Yu, as shown in episode 6 of Soketsuden, where she brags about how smart, good-looking, and musically talented he is.
- Instrumental Weapon: She uses a guqin that can turn into a rifle. Her sister, Da Qiao Gundam Artemie, uses one too.
Sun Ce Gundam Astray
Sun Jian's eldest son.

Sun Shangxiang Strike Rouge
Sun Jian's youngest child, with an active personality and athletic abilities rivaling her brothers'.
- Action Girl: Her athletic abilities are said to rival her brothers'.
- Adapted Out: She only appears in side manga with no appearances in the main anime.
Luoyang
Dong Zhuo Providence Gundam
- Voiced by: Kouji Ishii
The tyrannical current lord of Luoyang.
- Big Bad Wannabe: Set up as the primary villain of the anime, but he's just a pawn for Sima Yi.
- Brainwashed and Crazy. Possibly. Sima Yi has used hypnosis on him at least once, but how much of his actions were because of his Jerkass nature or the hypnosis are up for debate.
- The Caligula: Under his rule, the people of his land get no protection from the Etiolation Trinity BUGs because Dong Zhuo can't be bothered to help.
- Disc-One Final Boss: The series builds up to the dramatic confrontation with him, but he's not the true mastermind.
- Fat Bastard: The real-life Dong Zhuo is rather big while the Providence Gundam is a rather big and bulky suit. Oh and he's a complete dick, not caring that zombies are ravaging the world while he's living it up as Luoyang's dictator.
- Hate Sink: We cannot hate the BUGs as they are just mindless zombies, so Dong Zhuo is there to be a massive asshole. Exploited by Sima Yi, who has him take the fall for his own crimes.
- Jerkass: Whenever someone came to him for aid, he would rudely refuse and feign ignorance about the Etiolation Trinity crisis. It gives Sima Yi someone to take the fall for his own crimes.
- Transforming Mecha: Can turn into a huge tyrannosaurus rex.
- Unwitting Pawn: His Dragon Sima Yi is actually using him to further his goals, and has used hypnosis at least once to keep him under his control.
- Volcanic Veins: The pattern on his armor.
Sima Yi Destiny Gundam
- Voiced by: Kenji Yamauchi
Dong Zhuo's mysterious strategist and researcher.
- Big Bad: He's the one pulling the strings and spreading the Etiolation Trinity.
- Big Bad Ensemble: With Qiongqi Strike Freedom Gundam.
- The Chessmaster: He manipulates Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao to get ends to meet.
- Dark Is Evil: His impersonation of Merlin Gundam, who is a case of Dark Is Not Evil, is notable for replacing the dark gray of his color scheme with a standard black. He is savvy enough to change the black to Merlin's gray when around Arthur Gundam Mk-III, though.
- The Dragon: Dong Zhuo's right-hand man. In actuality, Sima Yi is the true mastermind. Though he does turn out to be a genuine Dragon for Qiongqi Strike Freedom Gundam.
- Even Evil Has Standards: One chapter of Enkotan has him disgusted by Dong Zhuo's blatant disregard for his own soldiers. Considering how Sima Yi had been pulling his strings at this point and Dong Zhuo made a weapon in secret, Sima Yi is probably angry about him doing something he didn't order him to.
- Evil Is Petty: He is spreading the Etiolation Trinity out of spite for Zhang Jue not favoring him, and even states that he would have spared his mentor his horrific fate if not for that. It's even worse when it's revealed becoming a student of Zhang Jue was just to help him with an unrelated plan, meaning he was so petty that he lashed out as his mentor in a way that had nothing to do with his original intention.
- Facepalm Of Doom: Slotting his Eclipse Memory into his forehead will give him an enormous clawed hand based on the original Destiny Gundam's Palma Fiocina, complete with the beam cannon in the palm.
- Faux Affably Evil: His polite demeanor hides a twisted mind. Just ask Zhang Jue post-conversion.
- Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: Right before their final battle, Sima Yi tries to get sympathy from Zhuge Liang by telling him how he has always been living in his shadow and that it's his fault he is the way he is. Zhuge Liang only gets angrier and says he will never forgive him.
- Humans Are Bastards: "A mind? Is such a thing necessary? The mind which most foolish humans have is no praiseworthy thing. It is merely appetite, isn't it?"
- Hypnotic Eyes: He can influence a person's decisions by looking into their eyes. When he does so, his eyes turn red and he gains Hellish Pupils, such as when he convinces Cao Cao Wing Gundam to leave.
- Kill and Replace: To get into Knight World, Sima Yi takes on Merlin Gundam's appearance before disposing of him. It later turns out Merlin survived.
- Manipulative Bastard: Manipulates both Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao as part of his plan to Restart the World.
- Misanthrope Supreme: His reasoning for why it's ok for the Etiolation Trinity to turn everyone into mindless zombies? He views human minds as just "appetite".
- Never Found the Body: His eventual fate at the end of Heroes. It's a literal Dead-Hand Shot, by which we mean his Red Right Hand is all that's left of him.
- Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: Sets himself up as a researcher trying to solve the Trinity shortage, but it becomes clear overtime that he just wants revenge and to raise his position in the world.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: He shows up in front of the heroes in his black version of his Merlin Gundam disguise with them being able to recognize him, but changing to Merlin's gray is enough to fool them later.
- Rage Against the Mentor: He turned Zhang Jue into a refinery for the Etiolation Trinity out of spite for favoring Zhuge Liang over him. He flat-out says that he would have spared Zhang Jue his horrific fate had he chosen him instead.
- The Resenter: He hates how Zhang Jue favored Zhuge Liang over him, and runs off to kill the young prodigy while everyone else is busy fighting.
- Restart the World: His endgoal: he says he can remake the world using chaos, which is to say the BUGs ravaging the world.
- Utopia Justifies the Means: It doesn't matter to him if the BUGs are mindless or not, all that matters is that the Trinity shortage has been solved. Not that he actually believes any of it.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: His solution to the Trinity shortage is to turn everyone into BUGs, as they do not consume Trinity to survive. But it's all an act; he just wants to spite his mentor.
- We Will Meet Again: He vows to return as he teleports away.
Lyu Bu Sinanju
- Voiced by: Yasuhiro Mamiya
A mercenary who finds meaning to life through combat, and strives on fighting strong opponents.
- Back from the Dead: Caesar Legend Gundam has Cleopatra Qubeley revive him and Diao Chan Kshatriya. Unfortunately, they aren't exactly the "heroes" he was hoping for...
- Blood Knight: The pay is good too, but he makes it clear that his main reason for serving Dong Zhuo is to get the chance to fight strong opponents.
- Cool Bike: His version of Red Hare is his bike.
- Cyber Cyclops: Though it's actually just a mask.
- Fusion Dance: He can combine with Diao Chan Kshatriya to become Lyu Bu Nightingale.
- Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: The second time Diao Chan Kshatriya dies, he seems to be concerned until he laughs about how much stronger he will get using her parts and mocks her about how he has used her again and again.
- Lack of Empathy: He shows no remorse over murdering Diao Chan and flat-out kicks her remains away in Soshiki.
Diao Chan Kshatriya

A female mercenary who works with Lyu Bu.
- Back from the Dead: Caesar Legend Gundam has Cleopatra Qubeley revive her and Lyu Bu Sinanju. Unfortunately, they aren't exactly the "heroes" he was hoping for...

- Fusion Dance: She can combine with Lyu Bu Sinanju to become Lyu Bu Nightingale.

- Taking the Bullet: Her second death has her block Lyu Bu Sinanju from Cao Cao Wing Gundam's attack.
Zhang Jue Devil Gundam
- Voiced by: Yuji Ueda
A Trinity researcher who Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi studied under. Cao Cao offered him funding for his research into an alternative energy source to Trinity.
- And I Must Scream: Sima Yi converted his body into a living refinery for the Etiolation Trinity, and Zhang Jue requests Zhuge Liang kill him because it's too late for him.
- Cyber Cyclops: Has a single green eye. Individual materials seem to differ on if he always had a monoeye or not, with Soshoki portraying him as always having one while flashbacks in the main anime show him with two eyes compared to how he has a monoeye in the present day.
- Desecrating the Dead: He is killed to stop the spread of the Etiolation Trinity, but his body continues to be used as the Etiolation Trinity refinery once Cao Cao continues the spread.
- Driven to Suicide: He decides the only way to stop the Etiolation Trinity is if he dies, and requests for Zhuge Liang to help kill himself.
- Face Death with Dignity: He dies sorry that he had to ask Zhuge Liang to kill him, but thankful that he got to meet him one last time.
- Maker of Monsters: His body is the source of the Etiolation Trinity. Unwittingly, so he requests for Zhuge Liang to kill him.

- Redemption Equals Death: To stop the Etiolation Trinity at its source, he requests for Zhuge Liang to kill him.
- Toyless Toyline Character: He is one of the few named characters to lack a model kit, probably because it would have to be huge.
