- Nom de Mom: Instead of being named Asap Gorem, he uses his mom's surname Suzuki, possibly due his own issues with his dad.
- Phenotype Stereotype: The blond hair he inherited from his American father is proof of him being biracial.
- Sympathy for the Devil: He sees flashes of World War 2 when traveling between worlds thanks to the Wings of Rean. Seeing how horrible the war was allows him to understand how Sakomizu feels, and even as he becomes more violent he still tries to reason with him.

Byston Well
Shinjiro Sakomizu
Voiced by: Rikiya Koyama
Pilots: Oukaou
King of the Houjou Nation, he was originally a fighter plane pilot from World War 2-era Japan who fell into Byston Well. He seeks to one day return to his home nation, and meeting Asap gives him hope that he can do just that.
- Advice Backfire: The Wings of Rean showed him visions of how Japan sufferred during World War 2, presumably so he would stop it from happening again. Instead, he believes that the modern Japan has forgotten its past and becomes even more determined to wipe the slate clean.
- Big Bad: The main conflict of the series is caused by his desire to return to Japan and defeat America.
- Fallen Hero: In the past, he was seen as a hero who unified Byston Well and ended its wars. Even before that, he was responsible for stopping the third atom bomb that would have been dropped on Kokura. Now, he was not only willing to slaughter innocents to go back home, but also to burn Japan to the ground just to purge it from western influence.
- He Who Fights Monsters: When Japan was an enemy of the USA, he gave his all to protect his country. When he discovers Japan not only lost the war, but allied with the Americans and accepted their culture and influence, he decides modern Japan is an enemy too, culminating in him trying to drop a new nuke.
- No True Scotsman:: He is patriotic man who would give his life for the Japanese people. Unfortunately, Japan has changed a lot since his time, and in ways that don't follow the ideals of imperial soldiers like him. He is so disgusted by what he sees as Japan abandoning its values that he decides to destroy modern Tokyo.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: He was a soldier during World War 2, so this shouldn't be a surprise. In particular, he hates America, and also how "Westernized" Japan became after losing the war.
- Samurai: He certainly styles himself as one, which also shows in the design of his Oukaou.
Codorre Sakomizu
Voiced by: Marika Hayashi
Wife of King Sakomizu and Lyukusu's stepmother, she is often seen as less than happy with her family.
- Evil Matriarch: She hates her husband and stepdaughter, and is planning to stab the former in the back.
- Expy: Notably, while most characters in this work don't personally resemble the ones from Aura Battler Dunbine much even if they have similar narrative roles, she is an almost perfect copy of Luuza Luft.
- Fantastic Racism: She has little to no real love for her surfacer husband, and this also applies to her stepdaughter that inherited his blood.
