Main Trio

Luluco - Codename: Trigger-chan

^{Click here to see Trigger-chan.} 

Voiced by: Mao Ichimichi (Japanese), Brittney Karbowski (English)

Our titular heroine, an ordinary 13-year old middle school student who just wants to be normal, but winds up having her whole life flipped upside down when her father accidentally freezes himself, forcing her to join Space Patrol against her will.

---

• 11th-Hour Superpower: For the final battle, she gains access to the Deep Love Gun Morphing. It's so powerful that a single shot can seal a black hole.
• Action Girl: Despite her reluctance to become one, Luluco has figured out how to use her Judgement Gun form to blast bad guys and propel herself into danger. By the end of the story she has developed into a true warrior of justice.
• Age-Inappropriate Dress: It may seem like this in the end when she becomes Trigger-chan, but according to Imaishi she's turned 18 by the epilogue.
• Badass Armfold: While she's piloting her mother's Cool Starship, in a Shout-Out to GunBuster.
• Back from the Dead: As a result of her epiphany from talking to Inferno Cop in the afterlife in episode 11, she heals the hole in her heart and bursts out of her coffin alive again while her companions are in the middle of her funeral rites.
• Break the Cutie: In episode 10 she finds out that her crush is evil, is told that her love is literally the most worthless thing in the universe, and has her feelings stepped on. She suffers Death by Despair as a result.
• Broken Face Plate: Loses part of her helmet bubble and a large chunk of her suit from the Blackholeian's beam attack, which makes her look vulnerable but also shows that her body is miraculously unscathed.
• Brutal Honesty: Although usually concerned about other people's feelings, she doesn't hold back from bluntly reminding her father of all the ways in which their family isn't normal.
• Came Back Strong: Upon returning from the dead, Luluco looks more alive and determined to fight for her ideas of love and justice than ever before, manifesting an Aflutter Jewel even bigger and more beautiful than the one she lost.
• Cannot Spit It Out: Shy about her crush with Nova, to the point where it takes eight episodes to ask him for a kiss and ten to confess her feelings.
• Character Development: Starts off as a Naïve Everygirl with a shallow attraction towards the resident prettyboy and gets literally heartbroken as a result. Then Inferno Cop teaches her that her feelings, shallow though they may be, are still genuine and hers alone, and as a result she becomes a stronger person who is able to fight for justice and stand up for her love. Also, she starts off obsessed with being a normal girl despite of the crazy town she lives in, but over the course of the series has come to embrace her own abnormality and that of her home. In the last episode, we see that she's stayed in the Space Patrol and has even gotten a promotion.
• Character Title: That's her name up there in the logo.
• The Chosen One: She is Trigger-chan, the one who has the power to patrol the various dimensions.
• Clothing Damage: Her space patrol uniform gets severely damaged in episode 12 (as in, half of it's missing). Fortunately, unlike what the transformation sequences have shown, she's still wearing her regular clothing underneath.
• Cool Bike: As Trigger-chan, she has a bike/spaceship shaped like an upside-down gun with her in the place of the trigger.
• Cool Shades: As Trigger-chan
• Crush Blush: Blushes bashfully whenever she's having a moment with Nova.
• Death by Despair: In Episode 10, she figuratively and literally dies of a broken heart. Amazingly, she comes back to life after regaining her hope.
• Deliberately Monochrome: In episode 11 she appears in greyscale because she's dead and lost her faith in herself. Her color comes back when she reaffirms her love and returns to life.
• Dimensional Traveler: As Trigger-chan, she alone can patrol the various dimensions (read: Trigger series).
• Face Death with Dignity: She calmed down remarkably quickly when told she (supposedly) had less than three minutes to live, her only request being that Nova give her a Last Kiss. In episode 10, however, her dignity is totally destroyed when she dies.
• Idiot Hair: As Trigger-chan she has one based off of Nono's. Coincidentally, it bears a passing resemblance to a pistol trigger.
• I Just Want to Be Normal: Her wish is simply to live a completely ordinary life. Sadly for her, life won't let her be ordinary.
• Immune to Mind Control: She's the only character who isn't affected by Kill ** Killian's Lotus-Eater Machine. Since this fact doesn't add much to the resolution of the plot at all, it can be attributed to Rule of Funny.
• Interspecies Romance: With Nova.
• I Will Find You: The series ends with her searching the various dimensions (read: Trigger series) to find Nova following his Heroic Sacrifice.
• Love at First Sight: Luluco immediately falls for Alpha Omega Nova when she sees him bust into their class. Deconstructed, when she finds out that she fell in love with a boy who was literally an empty shell sent to deceive her.
• Love Epiphany: In episode 11 she realizes that she's still in love with Nova, and that she needs to confess her feelings to him when she arrests him.
• Love Triangle: In competition with Midori for Nova's affections, at least until episode 10 when they find out he's a Blackholeian pawn.
• Ms. Fanservice: As Trigger-chan she wears a Underboobs showing bikini top in a similar vein to Yoko Littner. She's also 18 which is above the age of consent in many countries.
• Naïve Everygirl: Luluco is an ordinary, naive young girl with a crush on a cute, popular boy. Deconstructed, as her shallowness and naivete is what made her valuable to the Blackholians and enabled them to manipulate her through Nova, and then Reconstructed when she realizes what she did wrong but also that her love is still powerful.
• "No More Holding Back" Speech: "My first love isn't over just yet, I have to tell him clearly how I feel, and ask how he truly feels about me".
• Older Alter Ego: Word of God says that when she transforms into Trigger-chan she ages from 13 to 18.
• Only Sane Man: Goes hand in hand with her desire for normalcy. That said, she does have an eccentric side that shoots up whenever she's worried.
• Ordinary High-School Student: Luluco tried so hard to be this in the beginning of the show, and for the most part it worked. Her plea for normalcy isn't unfounded, since most of her childhood was her father and mother fighting 24/7.
• Power Dyes Your Hair: Her transformation into Trigger-chan turns her hair pink.
• The Power of Love: She basically care-bear stares Nova into a Heel–Face Turn.
• Series Mascot: Not for her own series, but for all of TRIGGER itself, thanks to her being revealed as one of the TRIGGER Girls.
• Smitten Teenage Girl: Falls in love with Nova despite knowing almost nothing about him. Deconstructed when it turns out that Nova was manipulating her for this very purpose and that a foolish teenage girl's first love is literally the most worthless thing in the universe.
• Stripperiffic: Her Trigger-chan outfit is about as revealing as those of Ryuko Matoi and Yoko Littner. The main parts are a bikini top, cropped-length sleeveless open jacket, and short shorts.
• Took a Level in Badass: While she gradually becomes more competent over the arc of the series, her combat powers and fighting spirit surge to awesome levels upon resurrection.
• Traumatic Superpower Awakening: Her transformation into Trigger-chan was caused by her witnessing Nova be consumed by a micro-black hole.
• Treasure Chest Cavity: Her chest cavity turns out to contain an Aflutter jewel, although supposedly it's worthless.
• Underboobs: Some of the offical artwork from Trigger's twitter account shows this as Trigger-chan for Fanservice.

AΩ Nova

Voiced by: Jun'ya Enoki (Japanese), Justin Briner (English)

A polite but sociopathic mysterious transfer student who immediately captures Luluco's affection with his good looks and cool demeanor. Though popular with the ladies and nice to Luluco, he has a remarkably indifferent attitude about the mission and just about everything else too.

---

• Anti-Villain: Despite cooperating with the Blackholeians and hurting Luluco by taking her heart, he lacks any villainous motive like greed or hatred, and simply does whatever his master orders because he cannot feel or think for himself. Luluco realizes afterwards that rather than betraying or lying to her, Nova was just being who he is, and decides to try and redeem him with her love.
• Arm Cannon: Unlike everyone else, his gun form merely changes his arm into a revolver cylinder.
• The Blank: Episode 10 gives the creepy imagery of Nova with TV static covering his entire face that symbolizes how he's part of an alien race without any feelings or emotions.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: His entire species is fundamentally amoral (as opposed to immoral) because they don't have any personality or emotions, so he can be manipulated into doing either good or evil without caring one way or the other.
• Brought to You by the Letter "S": His uniform has the Greek symbols for Alpha and Omega on the chest, which make up his given name.
• Catchphrase: "I don't mind either way", which turns out to be an indicator that he's a Nothingling, and therefore his conversations (as with everything else about him) appear very hollow.
• Character Development: Originally an emotionless Empty Shell who let himself be used as a pawn and didn't care about anything or anyone, he is redeemed and made whole by Luluco's love so that he can love her in return and fight for something he believes in.
  "Hollow, huh? That word brings back memories. But that's just who I was until a moment ago. I'm neither hollow nor a puppet anymore! Right now, I'm just a normal Nova! And I just fell in love with Luluco!"
• Covered in Scars: When his suit burns away in episode 12, we see that his torso is criss-crossed with nasty-looking scars, and that he has an X-shaped scar on his forehead that was hidden by his bangs before (which contains the miniature black hole his master planted in his body). For what these scars might mean, see Epileptic Trees under Space Patrol Luluco.
• Distressed Dude: Winds up being captured by Midori not too long into his and Luluco's confrontation with her.
• Empty Shell: As the Blackholian explains, Nothinglings are a whole species who are shallow and empty. In episode 12, Luluco's overpowering love causes him to grow a heart and discover feelings.
• Evil All Along: Planted as a mole by the Blackholians to manipulate Luluco and steal her heart. He gets redeemed.
• Explosive Leash: The Blackholeian turns out to have planted a miniature black hole in his forehead that will devour him if he tries to rebel.
• Extreme Doormat: Because he doesn't have any desires of his own he will happily do whatever he is told, even if his boss is a villain.
• My Eyes Are Leaking: For Nova, a Nothingling who never experienced a strong emotion in his life, the tears that stream down his face in episode 12 show that he has been utterly transformed into someone who can feel and fall in love.
• Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: Episode 10 reveals his angelic looks to be hiding a lack of morals, and was part of the reason why Space Patrol Galaxy Commander-in-Chief sent him to Luluco. In episode 12, however, Luluco causes him to grow a heart and become an angel not just on the outside, but on the inside.
• Faux Affably Evil: Continues to speak in a friendly manner even after his true colors are revealed, but it turns out there was never any real feeling behind it in the first place.
• Go Out with a Smile: When he gets turned into a bullet, he sends off Luluco with one of his very few genuine smiles before he's gone completely.
• Heel–Face Turn: In episode 12, Luluco reaches him with her feelings, causing him to rebel against the Blackholeian leader and join the side of justice for real.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Turns himself into a bullet so Luluco can defeat the Blackholian, although he promises that Luluco will be able to find him again if she searches other dimensions.
• Human Aliens: He and all Nothinglings are indistinguishable from humans physically; it's their lack of emotions and personality that makes them unlike other species.
• Idiot Hair: Sports a prominent ahoge which hints at his eccentricity. He has a hole in his space helmet for it. Even the Aflutter Gem he manifests has an ahoge!
• Interspecies Romance: Despite him being a Nothingling, he and the human Luluco eventually declare their love for each other.
• Lack of Empathy: He knows how Luluco feels after he betrayed her, he just doesn't care. Justified by being a trait of his species, which helps Luluco realize that he's just being himself, and he learns empathy from Luluco's love.
• Love Redeems: Rebels against his evil master and joins the side of justice because Luluco fills him with her feelings, causing him to requite her love and turn good for her sake.
• Love Triangle: For most of the series he has Luluco and Midori both wanting to get with him, while he acts mostly disinterested toward both. Eventually resolved by him choosing Luluco. In the Geek Boy doujin he gets into a new one, where Panty wants to jump his bones despite his lack of interest, while poor Brief keeps pining for Panty.
• Made a Slave: The Blackholeian says that he enslaved Nova to do his bidding, since he would have no motivation to cooperate otherwise. In episode 12 he rebels for Luluco's sake.
• Meaningful Name: Alpha and Omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet and, in the words of the Blackholian, he was "the beginning and the end for Luluco".
• Mellow Fellow: Has a very relaxed and mellow attitude toward everything, so that he never gets angry or flustered. Even when he's being held hostage, he barely seems surprised at all. This is because his species is naturally hollow and empty, and incapable of caring about anything.
  "Whoops, I got captured. Darn."
• The Mole: Infiltrated Space Patrol under orders from the Blackholians to help them steal Ogikubo and Luluco's heart, betraying them when the time came.
• Nice Guy: He's almost always complimenting Luluco and encouraging her every step of the way, even just seconds after he lands into her class. Subverted by the reveal that he had no feelings, and only had to show concern for Luluco a couple times to make her think he was nice, but in episode 12 Luluco's love succeeds in turning him into a genuine nice guy.
• Nothing Personal: When he steals Luluco's heart, he basically explains that he neither loves nor hates her, and is just following orders.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: See My Eyes Are Leaking.
• Pretty Boy: He definitely catches the eyes of both Luluco and Midori and have them fall for him, that's for sure. Exploited, since the Blackholians picked an agent that a naive teenage girl would definitely fall for.
• Satellite Love Interest: For the most part, he's just a pretty face that Luluco's obsessed over. It's later invoked, as his primary goal was to manifest the most worthless thing in existence: the shallow love of an especially foolish girl.
• Second Episode Introduction: He makes his entrance on the scene in Episode 2 while riding a meteorite straight into Luluco's class.
• Shirtless Scene: Gets his shirt blasted off while Taking the Bullet for Luluco, but remains unscathed and fabulous as he takes Luluco's hand and prepares to fight by her side.
• Sociopathic Hero: Very trigger-happy but in a completely calm voice, and at least he's pointed at the bad guys. Subverted by the reveal that he's a sociopath and was working against the heroes all along.
• Spiritual Antithesis: For most of the show he's a superficially similar but spiritually antithetical version of Kaworu Nagisa from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Both are secretly alien Bishōnen who use their charm to entice the main character and get closer to their objectives, but while Kaworu is an angel of free will whose love for Shinji is pure and unconditional, Nova has no free will or emotions and merely lets Luluco deceive herself into thinking he could return her love. Yet, in the end, his change of heart makes him a lot more like Kaworu than he was originally.
• Took a Level in Kindness: Begins to act out of genuine love and concern for Luluco when he grows a heart of his own.
• Villain in a White Suit: Subverted. He wears an all-white suit which makes him look otherworldly and mysterious. As it turns out he was working for the bad guys, which casts his white clothes as deceptive and threatening, but he is redeemed by Luluco.
• Villains Never Lie: Says that he never once lied to Luluco, and technically he's correct because he always used False Reassurance and Exact Words. In episode 11, Luluco realizes that rather than deceiving her, Nova was being himself the whole time.
• What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: Due to being a Nothingling, he was unable to feel or understand any emotions. Only when Luluco confesses her love and bombards him with the power of her feelings does he realize exactly how she felt about him, finally understanding what love and emotions are like.

Midori Save-The-World

Voiced by: Mayumi Shintani (Japanese), Jamie Marchi (English)

Luluco's fellow student and classmate, introduced as the elusive 'Save The World' who was distributing the quasi-legal Blackhole App and controlling her middle school class in secret. After a run-in with Space Patrol that led to her getting caught, she volunteered to join the force willingly to avoid further responsibility for her crimes... and to get closer to Nova.

---

• Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Despite her constant teasing of Luluco, it seems she's grown to care about her. She has tears of joy in her eyes when Luluco comes back to life.
• Cute Little Fangs: She sports them sometimes.
• Da Chief: As Over Justice gets promoted to commander of the space patrol in the finale, she gets promoted to his old position.
• Deadpan Snarker: She's the one who usually deals with Over Justice's bizarre attitude.
• Easily Forgiven: Double Subverted in rapid succession:
  Over Justice: Anyone who breaks the law even once is a criminal! And criminals must be executed!
  Midori: Yeah, but I said it was my fault and that I'm sorry. I apologized, so give it a rest, or I'll kill you!
  Over Justice: Very well. I'll let you into the Space Patrol.
• Even Evil Has Standards: The other reason why she's the Token Evil Teammate after the first arc is because most of the other villains are too repugnant for her to be able to stand.
• Eyes Do Not Belong There: She has a third eye that's slightly askew to the left above her head. A shot in episode 3 reveals that it's actually on a stalk that she keeps hidden under her hair.
• Gratuitous Princess: According to the Drama CDs, her mother is the runaway princess to a planet of Space-Eco-Terrorists.
• Greed: The sole reason she's after Nova in the first place, because she needs to have everything.
• Half-Human Hybrid: According to the official site.
• Heel–Face Turn: Somewhat, though she does join the heroes side, she's only working with Space Patrol to try and claim Nova for herself.
• Improbable Age: Who gives a school-aged girl a position with as much responsibility as chief of police for a major city? Then again, if they gave the job to Over Justice in the first place, the Space Patrol must have some pretty weird standards.
• Ironic Name: Her last name is "Save-The-World" and she's the Token Evil Teammate.
• Jerkass: Midori makes Luluco's life a living hell just for giggles once she joins the group.
• Karma Houdini: Played for Laughs. Over Justice lets her off the hook after nothing more than a hilariously half-assed apology.
• Little Miss Snarker: Think of Nonon Jakuzure, but green.
• Love Triangle: Deliberately invokes this on Luluco for Nova after joining Space Patrol, doing it both to satisfy her need to have everything (including the cute boys) and to watch her squirm.
• Meaningful Name: Midori means "green" in Japanese and her skin has a bluish-green tint.
• Phoneaholic Teenager: The only time she doesn't have her smartphone in her hands is when she is in Gunmorphing mode, since she doesn't have hands to hold it. Justified since the illegal black hole app she uses is important to the plot, and also because she's a blatant gyaru stereotype.
• Rank Up: She becomes chief of the Ogikubo branch in the finale since Over Justice became the overall leader of the Space Patrol.
• Second Episode Introduction: Makes her first appearance in episode 3.
• Starter Villain: Midori serves as a kick start for the plot as her illegal activities at the middle school are what catches Over Justice's immediate attention and have him both recruit and send Luluco undercover.
• Token Evil Teammate: Midori makes it pretty clear that she only volunteered to join Space Patrol to further her own Greed rather than for any kind of justice.

Space Patrol

Over Justice

Voiced by: Tetsu Inada (Japanese), Bob Carter (English)

The chief of the Ogikubo branch of Space Patrol, Over Justice is a bombastic, fiery skeleton who was Keiji's boss before Luluco took his place after he happened to freeze himself.

---

• All Crimes Are Equal: He has declared a war on crime. To him, every criminal must be executed, and all crimes must be punished!
• Calling Your Attacks: In addition to the Gun Morphing, he shouts "FIRE FROM FIRE!" when he shoots at Lalaco.
• Cloud Cuckoolander: The biggest one in the cast. For starters, his response to hearing Luluco telling her she's a middle school student is to arrest her, only for him to immediately let our heroine go when she points out that being a middle school student isn't an illegal thing. Why, he deems being a middle school student grounds for arrest aside from Nothing Is Funnier and Rule of Funny is unknown.
• Cool Shades: Ones that are very reminiscent to Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, as they're very long and pointed.
• Da Chief: He's as much this as he is a By-the-Book Cop, to the point where he's just as likely to sentence his own men for very minor offenses in rapid succession.
• Dark Is Not Evil: He is a skeleton in black clothing and is a figure of justice.
• Dem Bones: He's a flaming skeleton who's also the head for a branch of a intergalactic police force.
• Disproportionate Retribution: What's his response and the sentence he gives to any space crime? Execution!
• Does This Remind You of Anything?: The flames on his head were intentionally designed to look like a marijuana leaf.
• Establishing Character Moment: When Luluco first meets him, he arrests her for being a middle school student. When she points out this isn't illegal, he lets her go. After learning how Luluco's dad was frozen from eating a freezing pill with his breakfast, Over Justice arrests her again... and releases her again when she insists it was an accident.
• Equippable Ally: Hisho wields his Judgement Gun form in episode 12.
• A Father to His Men: Cares greatly about the people under his command and swears to protect them... when he remembers not to arrest them for multiple offenses on the spot that is.
• Flat Character: Aside from the obvious, he's one of the few characters that rarely changed throughout the series.
• For Great Justice: Just try to get him to stop thinking justice for more than a second. It's practically impossible. His passion for justice is such that he ends up as a Flat Character (figuratively and literally), doing little more than pursuing criminals in the name of justice.
• Large Ham: Good God, nothing he ever says or does is anything less than outrageously dramatic. It's telling that, in the World of Ham of the show, Over Justice manages to be among the hammiest consistently.
• Let's Get Dangerous!: After Lalaco absolutely annihilates Space Patrol in less than couple of seconds, Over Justice immediately gets serious and has a massive Animation Bump, even activating his own Judgement Gun in the process to defend them from Lalaco. It doesn't work, but points for trying.
• Limited Animation: Over Justice moves in the same fashion that Inferno Cop does, which is only one frame. That is, until he gets serious anyway.
• Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: He's a flaming skeleton space police chief that also turns into a gun.
• Rank Up: He becomes the overall leader of the Space Patrol in the finale.
• Shotguns Are Just Better: When Hisho wields his Judgement Gun in Episode 12, he takes on the form of a shotgun.
• Space Police: Chief of Police for the Ogikubo branch of Space Patrol, an interstellar law enforcement organization.
• Stealth Pun: Over Justice is a two-dimensional being who rarely says anything that doesn't have to do with Justice. He's literally the flattest character in the show.
• Wreathed in Flames: His neck and head are constantly emitting an aura of flame. Flames of JUSTICE that is! They're even hot enough to burn Life Fibers.

Keiji

Voiced by: Mitsuo Iwata (Japanese), Brett Weaver (English)

Luluco's father, an affectionate single parent who is also a detective for Space Patrol. The plot kicks off when he accidentally freezes himself at breakfast.

---

• Action Dad: Father of a 13 year old daughter, and capable of kicking ass as a cop.
• Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: The real reason why he keeps going after Lalaco because deep down he still loves her and as the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue affirms, like Luluco, that he'll chase her to the ends of the universe.
• Big Ol' Eyebrows: Has a pair of eyebrows almost as big as his eyes, which indicate his scruffy masculinity and hot-bloodedness.
• Cowboy Cop: Declares that sometimes you need to bend the law in order to catch the perp.
• Crazy-Prepared: Had the foresight to install a secret rocket hangar in his apartment.
• Dating Catwoman: He knew his wife was an extremely powerful Space Pirate when they were married, regularly getting to very intense fights with her before she left him.
• Good Parents: Loves his daughter to bits and wants nothing more than for her to live a normal, happy life. And while he might not be thrilled with the thought of her having a boyfriend, he still encourages her to hunt down Nova after his Heroic Sacrifice.
• Hot-Blooded: Full of energy and determination from the moment he wakes up every day, he praises how Luluco does the cooking and chores with almost the same level of intensity as when he's fired up about justice. We have to say almost, because when he's in pursuit of a lawbreaker, he takes his shouting up a notch and literally sweats adrenaline!
• Human Popsicle: After accidentally eating a cryonic pill, he is frozen in a block of ice. On top of that, his head shattered into several pieces. In episode 6 the Space Patrol warm up and stimulate part of his brain so he can help them stop Lalaco.
• Informed Ability: Lalaco implies that Keiji is the only member of the Space Patrol who could have actually provided her a challenge, which is why she had him frozen at the start of the series. Since he spends majority of it out of commission, we never really get to see what he is capable of.
• Large Ham: Expresses all his emotions in an exaggerated fashion, with a voice and gestures to match.
• Meaningful Name: One spelling of the word Keiji brings us to the word for a "police detective". Guess he was born for this job, huh?
• No Indoor Voice: Tends to shout everything at the top of his voice, even when sitting at the breakfast table. Exaggerated when he confronts Lalaco.
• Obsessively Normal: An odd example of a character who is Hot-Blooded about being normal, having tried to raise Luluco as normally as possible so as not to turn out like her mom. He passionately entreats Lalaco to return to normal when he confronts her.
• Ocular Gushers: So proud of Luluco that he's moved to tears, which continuously shoot out at high pressure for at least 15 seconds.
• Perma-Stubble: Always looks like he's gone a couple days without a shave, the mark of a badass who lives a hard-boiled, overworked lifestyle as a detective.
• So Proud of You: Tells Luluco he's proud of her for growing up to be so normal.
• Shout-Out: He looks very much like a much more rugged Deckard, he even has his long coat.
• Sleepyhead: As the result of the way his brain activity was revived, he quickly runs out of energy and falls asleep at the worst times.
• Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Compared to his bombshell ex-wife Lalaco, he's very scruffy in his appearance.
• Worthy Opponent: As far as Lalaco is concerned, he's the only one who's actually a threat.

Secretary

A temporary staff worker at the Space Patrol. She serves as Over Justice's personal secretary.

---

• Beware the Quiet Ones: She does a combination attack with Over Justice in episode 12 complete with her first (extremely quiet) spoken line.
• Calling Your Attacks:
  Secretary: [quietly] Secretary Final Fire.
• Emotionless Girl: She almost never shows emotion. The one time she does is when she bursts into Tears of Joy when Luluco comes back to life. She still doesn't make a sound however.
• Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": She is simply called "Secretary", or "Hisho" in Japanese. It's unknown if that's her real name or not, because while rare, "Hisho" is in fact a real name.
• Exotic Eye Designs: Her iris is mono-color without any reflection save for a white diagonal line in the middle, instead of the usual anime eyes the other characters have.
• Not So Stoic: In episode 11, she's barely holding back rivers when Luluco comes back to life.
• Satellite Character: She is always seen accompanying Over Justice.
• Scary Shiny Glasses: Sometimes her glasses catch the light and become opaque to make her even more inscrutable.
• The Stoic: Her face is eternally frozen in an uninterested stare.
• The Voiceless: Goes through 11 episodes without speaking and then finally has a spoken line in episode 12. Although it's very quiet and can barely be heard above all the gunfire and screaming going on around her.

Inferno Cop

Voiced by: Junichi Goto (Japanese), Christopher Sabat (English)

The messenger of justice himself! Both an old member of Space Patrol and a friend of Over Justice, he has a special insight into how love and justice works.

---

• Adaptational Heroism: In his series, while being a very righteous figure, Inferno Cop was also an Anti-Hero similar to The Punisher and Ghost Rider, who would often make himself the Judge, Jury, and Executioner and was totally willingly to harm innocents and manipulate others to get justice. Here however, he serves as The Mentor to Luluco, lending an ear to her troubles and offers her much needed advice that motivates her out of her Heroic BSoD. That said, given how his series acknowledges and invokes changes with his character, this is probably very intentional.
• Art Shift: He's drawn with a darker outline than he was in Inferno Cop, probably to fit in more with the show's art style.
• As Long as There Is Evil: States as such, for as long as evil exists, there'll always be a place for justice.
• The Cameo: An outside guest from the show Inferno Cop.
• Death Is Cheap: He talks about how he's died and come back countless times. It helps that you can literally walk out of hell at any point you want.
• Don't Call Me "Sir": Inferno Cop affirms that he's never been the boss of anyone when Luluco kept calling him Chief. He also doesn't want to be called 'mister', because he's only 21.
• Escaped from Hell: Inverted; he apparently ended up in Hell following his Heroic Sacrifice, and has voluntarily stayed there ever since. He can also leave Hell anytime he wishes, so it's not a big issue for him.
• For Great Justice: Devoting his life to justice is still his defining trait.
• Hidden Depths: Displays a great deal of introspection and understanding of how justice works, which was never shown in his home series.
• Identical Stranger: Looks so much like Over Justice that Luluco mistook him for the chief for a moment.
• Large Ham: Surprisingly averted. The closest he gets to acting hammy is when he tells Luluco not to call him sir.
• Last Episode, New Character: Makes his first appearance in Episode 11 with Luluco in Hell.
• Limited Animation: Kept his iconic Clip-Art Animation style as he came into this series.
• Old Friend: He and Over Justice were old friends, so much so that he knew immediately of who Luluco was talking about when she had confused Inferno Cop for him.
  Inferno Cop: "I look like Chief Over Justice? What a funny joke!"
• Only Sane Man: When Inferno Cop happens to be the voice of reason, you know things have gotten pretty crazy.
• Out-of-Character Moment: Most likely intentional and justified plot-wise. Trigger fans were expecting Inferno Cop to do badass, logic-defying stunts; instead they got him quietly eating, speaking in a calm way and in general acting as a wise mentor. Some were disappointed, others embraced this new characterization, or were at least amused by the change of pace.
• Took a Level in Kindness: He's gotten rid of his Anti-Hero traits since he came back to Hell.
• Walking Spoiler: Discussing his presence, like Kill ** Killian, spoils the crossover.
• You Are Better Than You Think You Are: He really comes along to help motivate a dead Luluco both out of her depression from Nova's betrayal and to find a new sense of justice.

Antagonists

Lalaco Godspeed

Voiced by: Yoko Honna (Japanese), Monica Rial (English)

The extremely powerful leader of a group of Space Pirates who opposes Space Patrol and regularly fought Luluco's father before he got frozen, also Luluco's mom.

• Abusive Parents: Zigzagged. Lalaco attacks her daughter because they're on opposite sides of the law, but she is needlessly smug and cruel about it. Despite that, she is willing to help Luluco when she's ready to embrace her "abnormal" side.
• Action Mom: Natch. She deals a Curb-Stomp Battle to the entire Space Patrol over the course of a single episode.
• Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Despite her Abusive Parent-status, Lalaco is shown to truly love her daughter and might still have feelings for Keiji in her own unique way.
• Badass Cape: Kicks ass while wearing a vast fur-fringed cape made out of Life Fibers.
• Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad: Treats normal and abnormal like this, damning normality and embracing insanity wholeheartedly.
• Berserk Button: Lalaco loathes the very idea of being normal, and suggesting that she should be normal is a very bad idea.
• Card-Carrying Villain: Proud to admit that she's a space pirate, and not afraid of acting like a scumbag.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: The whole fifth episode consists of her effortlessly defeating everyone who tries to stop her, including Luluco, Over Justice, and Keiji. It's not until Midori pulls out the black hole app that she finds herself in trouble.
• Dating Catwoman: Lalaco was an accomplished and powerful Space Pirate and Keiji was an incredibly dutiful police officer, but somehow they managed to settle down for each other and had Luluco... until their opposing natures ultimately led to her leaving.
• Dressed to Plunder: Dresses like Captain Morgan with an enormous tricorn hat bearing the skull-and-crossbones, an 18th-century-style naval jacket, and high-heeled bucket-topped boots.
• Dynamic Entry: Emerges from a collapsing meteorite burning through the atmosphere that just blew up and seizes Luluco for the whole way down.
• Enemy Mine: She may be a ruthless Space Pirate and abusive parent, but she won't let anything stand in the way of her daughter's love confession, so she joins forces with Over Justice and Keiji to cover her attack.
• Evil Redhead: Evil? Check. Abusive to her daughter? Check. Bright orange hair? Check. Then again, maybe she's not that evil.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: In Episode 10 she senses that something has happened to her daughter, revealing that she cares about her on some level, and in episode 12 she arrives with The Cavalry to save her daughter, telling her to confess her love to Nova.
• Fiery Redhead: Her personality is as fiery and aggressive as her red-orange hair.
• Invincible Villain: Unlike other the antagonists later in the series, Lalaco thoroughly owns the entire cast in her debut and never receives any real comeupperance, even when Midori uses the quasi-legal Blackhole app against her en mass, she fails to stop her from stealing Ogikubo, successfully selling it off, and kickstarting the plot for the rest of the series. Fortunately for them, however, she is also a Noble Demon, which allows them not only to survive her encounter, but also proves to benefit the protagonists in the end when she decides to help her daughter and provide them much needed aid against Space Patrol HQ.
• Large Ham: She's able to compete with Over Justice on how much they can chew the scenery.
• Let Her Grow Up, Dear: She lets Luluco borrow her Cool Starship and provides air support so she can confess to Nova. Keiji is less than pleased, but he helps anyway.
• Missing Mom: Left Luluco and her husband behind when she was younger after they had a particularly nasty fight.
• Noble Demon: Enough of one to check up on her thought-to-be-dead daughter, allowing her to borrow her ship, form an Enemy Mine with the Space Patrol, and all so she can go confess her love to a boy, encouraging her all the way.
• Oh, Crap!: Has a big moment of panic when Midori uses all of the remaining quasi-legal Blackhole apps to seize her ship while in the middle of sending off Ogikubo through a wormhole.
• Pet the Dog: While it doesn't make up for all the trauma she put her daughter through, and she goes back to being an unrepentant criminal afterwards, her aid to Luluco in the final battle shows that she has some love and respect for her daughter after all.
• Shipper with an Agenda: Urges Luluco to confess her love to Nova in episode 12, though in principle it's more about teaching Luluco to stand up for her feelings.
• Shout-Out: Her outfit is seemingly made from Life Fibers.
• So Proud of You: Tells Luluco in episode 12 that since they last fought, she's grown up and become a fine woman. It's the only time she drops her eternally smug grin for a gentle smile of motherly affection.
• Space Pirates: Captain of a ship and crew of space-faring outlaws who rob and plunder. They even have an anachronistic pirate theme to their costumes and a ship resembling an old-fashioned sailing vessel.
• Stripperiffic: Her fighting outfit makes both Yoko Littner and Ryuko Matoi seem modest in comparison. She wears her coat open in front with nothing but a thong and bikini underneath, and her Thong of Shielding doesn't even connect between the front and back at the waistband!
• Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: While her ex-husband Keiji looks kind of dumpy, Lalaco is without a doubt jaw-dropping gorgeous.
• The Unfettered: Openly refers to herself as such. She doesn't let anyone get in her way once she finds something that she wants, even her own daughter.
• Unmoving Plaid: The inner surface of her cape has completely straight red lines that slide back and forth, like the Life Fibers of Kill la Kill.
• Worthy Opponent: She saw her ex-husband Keiji as he was the only person who could give her a half-decent fight, which is why she had him frozen to begin with to prevent him from stopping her plans.
• Would Hurt a Child: Completely fine with beating up middle schoolers if they get in her way.

Kill ** Killian

A malevolent alien from the home planet of the life fibers. Their appearance changes into whatever the beholder most desires, so Luluco sees him as Nova.

---

• Appearance Is in the Eye of the Beholder: Looks like whatever you really desire, except wearing a COVER. Luluco sees them as Nova.
• Better to Die than Be Killed: Declares, "If I'm going to be burned by you snot-nosed brats, I'd rather burn myself!" He then immolates himself to death using his own hands, which are already burning.
• Censored for Comedy: It's pretty obvious what those two censored letters are^note la.
• Emotion Eater: He and the life fibers feed upon people's desires.
• Man of Wealth and Taste: A well-dressed villain wearing a fashionable suit of life fibers, which resembles the COVERS from Kill la Kill.
• Oh, Crap!: Goes from gloating to alarmed in an instant when he realizes that Over Justice has set his threads on fire.
• Smug Snake: Smugly announces that the Space Patrol can never escape his life fibers without special scissors, only to lose his cool when Over Justice produces a different weakness.
• Villainous Breakdown: Loses his smugness and falls into terror, rage, and denial when Over Justice manages to set him on fire and free the Space Patrol.
• Walking Spoiler: Discussing them at all reveals the first crossover episode.
• Weaksauce Weakness: Fire - not because of what it is, as fire is usually considered a normal weakness, but because any fire at all can burn up both Kill ** Killian and their entire planet. Whoops.

Space Patrol Galaxy Commander-in-Chief/Blackholeian

Voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama (Japanese), Christopher Bevins (English)

Supposedly the leader of Space Patrol. Something's off about him, though, and it turns out he's a Blackholeian who had been using the main cast in order to get the treasure he desires.

---

• Berserk Button: Because of his inflated self-importance and conviction that middle schoolers are the most stupid and annoying creatures in the universe, he goes completely irate when Luluco calls him worse than a normal middle schooler, just when you thought he couldn't get any more angry than he already was!
• Big Bad: The villain who was manipulating everything from behind the scenes for his evil plan. According to Over Justice, the Blackholeians are the ultimate evil in the universe.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: His ideals don't make much sense, and the other characters recognize this.
• Catchphrase: Repeatedly refers to the heroes as "Stupid middle schoolers", usually with some condescending and long-winded epithet such as "stupid-middle-schooler-who-tears-the-seams-of-her-own-track-suit", or "stupid-middle-schooler-who-doesn't-know-when-to-give-up". When the tide turns in the final battle, Luluco turns his own catch phrase against him:
  "Evil Blackholeian who meaninglessly keeps stealing things people hold dear and causing them grief! People die when they're shot! I'll teach you that normal fact of life right now!"
• The Chessmaster: Skillfully manipulates multiple parties including Space Patrol, the Space Pirates, and the three middle-schoolers as part of an Evil Plan.
• Collector of the Strange: His entire species started off stealing every valuable they could. They were unsatisfied once they had it all and decided to start taking the least valuable things they could, basically degenerating into galactic-scale klepotomania.
• Crazy-Prepared: Implanted a black hole in Nova's head on the off chance that he rebelled, despite the fact that Nothinglings don't have any initiative.
• Dark Is Evil: The guy has a black hole for a head. You don't get any darker than that! It's vacuous darkness which doesn't even allow light to escape represents his bottomless greed and evil.
• Defiant to the End: Even as everything's falling apart around him and he's getting sucked into his own black hole with Nova sacrificing himself to hold him back, he vows that he'll be back for the second and the third and so on.
• Dramatic Unmask: Disguised at first with the identity of the commander-in-chief of Space Patrol, with a head resembling a planet circled by two rings, he removes his mask to reveal the black hole where his head should be.
• Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Faced with the beam emanating from Luluco's heart, he cries "What is that light? There's no way Nova could develop feelings!" And when Nova declares his love for Luluco, he rages, "'Love,' nothing! Pointless, worthless, meaningless! This is why I hate stupid middle schoolers!"
• Evil Gloating: Enjoys rubbing his opponents' defeat in their faces, to the point where he wastes time that could be better spent eliminating them for good.
• Evil Is Petty: Despite leading a galaxy-wide evil conspiracy, he's the sort of guy who would go out of his way just to make life miserable for a particular middle school girl. Furthermore he wants to steal all the worthless crap in the entire universe, which Luluco asserts is nothing more than taking pleasure in "super space shoplifting". Lastly, he seems to have a narcissistic need to put other people down while being unable to tolerate any criticism of himself, to the point where he engages in surprisingly juvenile name-calling against a "mere middle schooler" opponent.
• Evil Laugh: Laughs like a maniac as he leaves Luluco dead of a broken heart.
• Evil Running Good: He's the commander-in-chief of the Space Patrol. It's implied that he got the position by brainwashing everyone at headquarters.
• For the Evulz: Shows no care for the Aflutter gem once he actually obtains it, and smashes it despite all the trouble he went through to get it just so that he can be mean to Luluco. Midori even lampshades how self-defeating and wasteful this is, to which Over Justice replies, "True evil is often terrifyingly incomprehensible".
• Greed: He and his species have a bottomless need to steal and hoard everything, even that which has no value to them whatsoever.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: Nova, the person he considered an emotionless slave and used to steal Luluco's Aflutter Jewel, rebels against him and helps Luluco to defeat him. Nova accomplishes this by turning himself into a bullet, so that the mini-black hole inside him and the Blackholeian's black hole react with each other, causing them both to vanish from this universe.
• Impossible Thief: He comes from a race whose schtick is stealing anything and everything whether it makes sense or not, including both massive objects such as cities and intangible concepts such as the love of a stupid girl.
• Kick the Dog: Smashing Luluco's Aflutter Jewel is a cruel and pointless act that demonstrates just how much of a bastard he is.
• Large Ham: An exaggerated gloating villain who makes pompous speeches and chews the scenery, he's the Big Bad that this World of Ham truly deserves.
• Narcissist: A completely self-absorbed creature who loves to hear himself talk and can't stand being ignored, such as when Midori falls asleep as he lectures about his Evil Plan, or criticized, as when Luluco calls him a mere shoplifter. For a guy who's supposed to be a big villain he's surprisingly thin-skinned and self-conscious.
• No Face Under the Mask: Blackholians have a black hole where their heads should be.
• One-Winged Angel: Faced with Nova's rebellion and Luluco's new power, he transforms into a ludicrously frightening final combat form.
• Painting the Medium: His head, given that it's a black hole, behaves like an actual black hole would as it distorts the light of the immediate environment around it.
• Ship Tease: With the Whiteholian from the Episode 13.5 Drama CD.
• So Bad, It's Good: In-universe, his race developed this philosophy when it came to treasure hunting; the most worthless items in the world have worth to them because of just how sucky they are. This is why he wants the Aflutter Jewel... so he can destroy it, as the shallow first love of a foolish teenager is, in his nonexistent eyes, the most worthless thing of all.
• This Cannot Be!: He has quite a few of these during his fight with Luluco to very comedic levels.
• Turns Red: When his plans begin to go south and Luluco manages to turn Nova over with love, he just decides to go One-Winged Angel to try and kick everyone's ass... And that's before Luluco wounds his ego and pushes him to his limit.
• Villainous Breakdown: After Luluco tells him off by being "worse than a middle-schooler", whatever bit of coolness he had left leaves the Blackholeian and he just completely flies off the handle.
