Mikado Kurosaki

Voiced by: Yūichi Nakamura

• Frontline General: While he's not fighting himself, what with him being a normal human, Mikado isn't afraid of being near the scene of the fights.

• The Strategist: Acts as Alexander's. Unfortunately, the latter has a tendency of acting on his own and not listening to him.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: He is willing to sacrifice the city of Kobe in order to lure Audium out in the open. However, he plans to evacuate the citizens beforehand.

Sera Kurashiki

Voiced by: Hisako Kanemoto

Tropes:

• Child Soldiers: Mikado had no compunctions about recruiting her to his cause. But this may be more about keeping her close by(she bears a strong resemblance to what appears to be a lost little sister), than it is about controlling the Gigantic that's imprinted on her.
• Fluffy Tamer: Her Z/X partner is a dinosaur.
• Identical Stranger: Resembles Mikado's younger sister.
• Missing Mom: Her mother is a reporter who went missing. Sera is currently looking for her.

Sieger the Black Blade

• Planimal: Has two branches growing from his forehead like horns.
• Undying Loyalty: Encountered Chitose crying over her Z/X that had been killed, heedless of the one that had killed it and was about to do the same to her.

Voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama

Tribe: Braver

Tropes:

• The Ace: One of the Nine Worthies, the strongest Bravers.

• Calling Your Attacks: Ruler's Earthquake Spear. He's the only character in the series to do so.

Tribe: Gigantic

• Imprinting: Sera was the first thing he saw after hatching.
• Horse of a Different Colour: Serves as Sera's method of transportation.

Apex of Order Sagarmatha

Tribe Guardian

• Defector from Decadence: Strongly disagreed with the purging of Ayase's home village, and was the one who saved her life at the price of exiling himself from the White World. This would have been fatal had he not met Misaki.

Twelve Apostles - Aquarius Gambiel

Tribe: Angel

• Minor Injury Overreaction: Her response to having her face cut by Sieger? Attempt to murder him and Ayase.
• Our Angels Are Different: Unlike the other angels in the series, she doesn't have wings.

• There Was a Door: Enters Asuka's dorm room by blowing up the wall.

Hate Fiend, Audium

Administator Polaris

Administrator Vega

Original XIII Type.II "Sd03Ve"

• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Type.II's eyes are red and she isn't to be taken lightly.
• Super Prototype: She's the original model Rigel is based on, and is able to hold her own against the latter, Fierté, and Rindou at the same time.
• Stripperiffic: Her outfit leaves a lot of skin exposed.
