Darth Wiki / Operation G Reloaded

The sequel to Operation G.
This introduces new teams and the protagonist this time is one of Ringoto Teisou's numerous nephews, Sagan. He is recruited by his father Kako into a team to counteract Ringoto, who has started a war against the world to conquer all non-believers after gaining extreme power from an unidentified magic perturbation that shook the entire world. Kako suspects Operation G suddenly started, and this wasn't the original plan...
As it turns out, he was right. Time was rewinded after Operation G's plot, with the Stream manipulation causing a huge perturbation on the world, which empowered a handful of people, caused the birth of an unknown kid named "Eiko". The four persons responsible for this time warp are the four survivors from the prequel: Akina, Koukyu, Tsuyoshi and Keiko, and they have formed Team Wakeshi to avoid the events turning as bad as they did, though they unwittingly caused things to go even worse...

---

The story is divided in ten story arcs:

• The Asian Escape: Kako is wanted by various factions all across Asia and seeks to track down Ringoto in Europe, so he sets to escape his current station in Thailand. This is the introductory arc to Team Kaishin, Team Shagyou, Team Chuugoku, Team Shinkan, and Team Taigi.
• The Ravages of War: The arranged meeting between Kako and Ginshi is delayed, as Ginshi had to flee the site and the Silverwing crashed. This is the introductory arc to Teams Ougoku, Jundou, Ginyoku, and Wakeshi.
• The Opposition: The war stabilizes when a powerful force reveals itself opposite Ringoto. This is the introductory arc to Teams Sochi, Gunshin and Mizuchi.
• Tracking the "True Gods": Rumors of the Gunshin war effort somehow halting outside of the Mizuchi power zone sparks interest. This is the introductory arc to Team Ryuushi.
• Turning Leaf Arc: The Reitou clan is involved in a war front. This is the introductory arc to Teams Kouei and Nerakuni.
• The Dark Call: With Niki's death, Kuuki's rampage starts, and the resonance of his power causes several resurgences.
• Europe in Chaos: As Team Sukunushi's actions are revealed and with the death of Xiangli, panic erupts across Europe and hunts are being conducted. The war efforts of Teams Gunshin and Mizuchi lead to a Pendulum War where undermanned factions reveal themselves and end at the drop of a hat.
• The Stream Chase: As Theophanie is revealed as well as her intent to head to the Stream, the war converges towards her.
• The Swerve: Team Gunshin was defeated after Sol was executed by Team Sochi. That's the moment Team Mizuchi chooses to claim dominion over the world.
• The Finale: Team Gunshin comes back after Mashin's death, Ringoto restarting his mad conquest.

---

Operation G Reloaded provides examples of:

• After the End: Inverted, the ending to Operation G is averted via Time Travel, which makes it a Bad Future. The four persons responsible for said time travel, known as Team Wakeshi, though, remember everything, making it this trope for them.
• Back from the Dead: In a way, just about every casualty of the prequel. Even those who were tossed in the Stream (which would be a final death) come back since time was rewinded by action on the Stream. Houka-2 also gets this treatment thanks to Eiko coming back with faint memories of her and influencing Niki's clone backup of her.
• Badass Family: The Teisou are expanded, with more of them coming. The Reitou clan gets some more alumni, though it's via Team Kouei's enemies Team Nerakuni. Which proves that the Reitou are badass enough to have whole families as their enemies.
• Bait-and-Switch Boss: Plot-wise, Ringoto defies this. The first time he's defeated, he lets away a bit of terrain to Team Mizuchi, who now take center stage as leaders of the world. Soon afterwards, Team Sochi betrays Team Mizuchi, allowing Ringoto to Back Stab Mashin and pick his title of Big Bad right back.
• Big Good: The four "back from the future" individuals form a team of their own and become this.
• Big, Screwed-Up Family: The Teisou become obviously this, given how many of their family members are parts of different teams. Only Team Kaishin, a full-Teisou team, gets along, and even within the team Setsuna doesn't want to agitate Kako.
• Blessed with Suck:
  • Only two afflictions out of the three return since one has been nullified by Mashin prior to the time rewinding.
  • Kiyoshi, patron saint of this trope in the original, is a complete aversion this time around. The Soul of Mashin affliction was gone with Mashin in the original, and his ''Demon Brand'' is snatched by Youku prior to his first appearance in Reloaded.
• Butterfly of Doom: Rewinding time caused an unidentified pulse, making Ringoto almost god-like, and causing him to change Operation G from "creating God" to "conquer the world". Worse yet, Mashin is his main opposing force.
• Came Back Strong: All characters who fell into the Stream in the original were put back in their place, with much more power. Eiko even comes back, and her nature as a Time Paradox makes her the "child of the Stream", the closest this fiction would have to a God, and she's even stronger than in the original.
• Contrasting Sequel Main Character: The original's main character (until the end of the Silverwing Arc) is Houka, a dirt-poor Tomboy. In Reloaded, the main character is Sagan, a Blue Blood girly boy.
• Cosmic Retcon: The reason this sequel even exists. It takes a while for most to figure this out.
• Darker and Edgier: Instead of fighting tournaments, this revolves around World War Whatever. The first death occurs much earlier than the original, with some deaths caused by teammates and family.
• Defied Trope: Akina thwarts Haruka's departure from the orphanage this time. She didn't manage to thwart Houka's Rage Quit though. And Aoshi ends up meeting someone else: none other than Tenko.
• Evil Versus Evil: The major conflict is between two god-wannabes, one of them being Ringoto. The other is Mashin.
• For Want Of A Nail: Houka shows doubt about her reasons for going with Team Ougoku. She doesn't get to act out on it because she gets kidnapped by Mashin.
• A God Am I: Ringoto's interpretation of the massive power he gained from the unidentified magic pulsation.
• Have We Met Yet?: The result of many encounters with Team Wakeshi, who act like they do because they do know everyone.
• Heel–Face Return:
  • A notable number of the original cast. Especially Eiko. More yet, she returns coaching a team of her own. Subverted with Mashin who is just a villain with good publicity.
  • Inverted: Tenko becomes part of Team Jundou, making a Face–Heel Turn from the original.
• In Name Only: Houka-2. While they're both clones of Houka, in the original, she was created by Mashin as a tool, and in Reloaded she's created by Niki as backup in case Houka left him (which she unvoluntarily did). As for personality, in the original she was a psychomaniac who hated everything, especially Houka and the fact she couldn't live normally because she hated Houka so much. In the sequel, she is more angsty than angry, and more inclined on finding a family than killing Houka.
• MegaCorp: Number Zero, despite being still here, is left far underneath their status in the prequel, especially since they've been targeted by Ringoto. The TFE (Teisou Family Enterprise / Teisou Financial Empire) gets a step up and are actually the bigger fish now. This is a source of Team Kaishin's problems, as everyone suspects they're allied with Ringoto because their coach is Kako, Ringoto's brother and CEO of the TFE.
• Mental Time Travel: What the timestream rewinding comes off as, in the case of those who remember. Those who were absorbed by the Stream in the original don't come with memories, but great power instead from coming back out of the Stream.
• My Friends... and Zoidberg: Operation G's entire cast returns, except Houka-2. A different Houka-2 appears later on.
• Ominous Message from the Future: In the form of the four persons composing "Team Wakeshi", though they're not talkative about spilling said ominous message.
• Reset Button: Time was rewinded back to the start of Operation G. Though only four persons have knowledge of the Bad Future: Akina, Tsuyoshi, Koukyu and Keiko. Complete with a sort of Retroactive Precognition, though there are differences.
• Rewriting Reality: How the supposed time travel worked: Akina simply erased the last three to four months of time that contain the original Operation G plot, thus rewinding time. Eiko compares her ability to interact with the Stream to writing code into it.
• Set Right What Once Went Wrong: Akina, Koukyu, Tsuyoshi and Keiko attempted to do this by rewinding time and reuniting in the past as Team Wakeshi.
• Time Paradox: Eiko exists despite Operation G's goal not even containing her creation anymore, because the Stream still spewed her. Instead of being "where she was at the time", she simply appeared at the Stream.
• Took a Level in Badass: A Long List of the returning characters. Those who fell into the Stream, including those whose souls were absorbed by Mashin, all came back strong.
• Took a Level in Jerkass:
  • The new teams only include a hero team and Eiko's team as good. There is however a "rival team" (Team Shagyou), an "anti-Kouei" (Team Nerakuni) team, a "jerk team" (Team Sukunushi), a "bastard team" (Team Sochi), and two "evil teams" (Teams Gunshin and Mizuchi).
  • Ringoto himself, along with a level of anviliciousness; the end result: World War Whatever.
• Villains Act, Heroes React: This time around, the plot is sparked by Ringoto's world conquest attempt.

Characters:

Team Kaishin

A team formed when Sagan and Ryuuji set out to stop their demented uncle's war effort against the world. Their effort has them noticed, joined, and mentored by their cousin Setsuna, and the story starts immediately after they meet with Kako.

Tropes associated with the team:

• Badass Family: A full-Teisou team, even though Setsuna is just a cousin. Sagan and Ryuuji are even coached by none other than their own father.
• Decoy Protagonist: They all are killed by Ringoto in the climax to the Europe in Chaos arc.
• Team Mom: Setsuna, who on top of managing her cousins took two levels in badass. She came back from the Stream and is no longer affected by the soul of Mashin.
• Uncanny Family Resemblance: Only in height and weight, with all the team members being nearly the same height and weight.

New characters:

Sagan Teisou

Profile:

• Height: 176 cm
• Weight: 65 kg

The new main character. The youngest child of Kako and a Willfully Weak Child Prodigy who's sometimes scared of his own power.

Tropes associated with Sagan:

• Always Accurate Attack: His more broken powers involve being able to throw magic attacks at Ringoto from hundreds of kilometers away.
• Deceptive Disciple: Hid his power from his father for a very long time. He got punished hard when he was found out.
• Dude Looks Like a Lady: Very much.
• Fatal Flaw: His unwillingness to fight and kill becomes this later on as he refuses to kill Ringoto.
• The Hero: Despite being The Lancer in regards to the team due to his shy and calm attitude compared to Ryuuji's lecherous and hot-blooded attitude.
• Laser-Guided Amnesia: Victim to two instances of this piled up into each other: Kako had him forget his more powerful abilities, and Ringoto had him forget about how powerful he truly is.
• Martial Pacifist: Doesn't like to fight, yet he is a Teisou and therefore is trained at fighting. He abides by the philosophy of "violence to end violence".
• Reluctant Warrior: He is thrust into a war setting very much against his will. He still does the world-saving as someone's gotta stop Ringoto.
• Variable-Length Chain: Pop up magically here and there for his special moves.
• Willfully Weak: Most of the time. Ringoto even says that he "posed a threat".

Ryuuji Teisou

Profile:

• Height: 179 cm
• Weight: 67 kg

Sagan's elder brother and the leader to his team. While much more upstanding than Sagan, he is also prone to failures as he doesn't realize when he's facing someone stronger.

Tropes associated with Ryuuji:

• Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Gets there on occasion.
• Badass Normal: Only uses Ki Manipulation by contrast to the varying degrees of magic used by his opponents, but remains a contender regardless.
• Beware the Quiet Ones: Normally The Stoic, but becomes a Screaming Warrior when pissed.
• Big Brother Mentor: Acts as this to Sagan, as well as he can.
• Chivalrous Pervert: Is the one who hits on girls.
• Drunken Master: One of the fighting styles he practices.
• Handicapped Badass: He's blind.
• Iaijutsu Practitioner: Practiced in iaido, and it shows in the speed at which some of his attacks can come out.
• The Leader: Acts as this, even though he still answers to Kako as his coach and Setsuna as his mentor.
• Mr. Fanservice: Goes around shirtless.
• Playing with Fire: His ki feels like it burns, and he can even cause it to burn his boozed-up breath with it.
• Rule of Cool: He tries hard to be as stylish as possible. Fighting like a Bruce Lee Clone, practicing Iaijutsu and drunken boxing, all in the name of looking cool.
• Sacrificial Lion: His death during the Europe chaos arc indicates the others are at risk, culminating in their deaths ending the arc.

Tropes associated with Setsuna:

• Designated Girl Fight: Always fights Ran.
• Does Not Know His Own Strength: Deconstructed. Due to her incredible leap in power, she has to hold back to not kill enemies. She ends up killing Ran due to the power gap between them.
• Willfully Weak: Alludes to it, as she does not want to appear threatening to Kako. She is in fact powerful enough that Ringoto targets her personally when catching and executing Team Kaishin.

Kako Teisou

Profile:

• Height: 186 cm
• Weight: 110 kg

Ringoto's ignored younger brother. Notably more impulsive and massive than him, he responded to Ringoto's world takeover attempt by taking over small territories in Thailand, China, Greece and Italy to make a travel network for himself and his allies to use. The war essentially freeing him of jurisdiction, he prepares a team from the Teisou family to punish Ringoto.

Tropes associated with Kako:

• Affably Evil: He's even letting down on the evil to stop his demented brother.
• Bad Powers, Good People: Uses The Power of Hate and other generally-nasty things, but otherwise he aligns more as neutral.
• Badass Cape: How he cements his status as leader is mostly by wearing one of these, bigger than a traditional Teisou coat of arms like Setsuna.
• Crazy-Prepared: He is always watching his team back securing their advances and finding contingency plans should they fail.
• Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Not this evil, but he doesn't understand people acting without at least a little interest.
• Evil Gloating: Loves bragging about himself after beating someone.
• Mind-Control Device: He is a walking one, though with magic everyone can acknowledge a brainwashing done on them with a bit of effort.
• No Social Skills: Killing his father brought him there.
• Not Quite Dead: Ringoto killed him in the original, which is why he didn't intervene. Though this time, too busy being a God, Ringoto threw care and caution out the window and didn't even attempt to do it, sure that he can erase him whenever he needs.
• Not So Stoic: Don't fight him, otherwise you're dealing with a Slasher Smile-wearing Ax-Crazy Blood Knight.
• Obviously Evil: Subverted because he's not evil, but he looks the part.
• Self-Made Orphan: He killed his own father when he and Ringoto ployed to take him out the picture for a Hostile Takeover. He took the blame and Ringoto went on to become head of the family.
• The Stoic: When out of fighting, he mostly is a well-behaved man.
• Take Over the World: He wants to thwart Ringoto's world takeover by stealing his political powers and keeping him down.
• Theme Naming: As Ringoto means "forest harp", Kako means "fire drum", keeping with the musical instrument Theme Naming.

Team Shagyou:

The Rival team. A school of fighting installed in Hong-Kong, they attempt a break into international fighting as global war starts to stir up in a quest for celebrity.

Tropes associated with the team:

• Arc Villain: Despite having nothing to do.
• Badass Crew: A team for a random school of fighting in Hong-Kong. They achieve their victories by sheer solidarity.
• Revenge Before Reason: After Ran kicks the bucket, the team becomes obsessed with killing Team Kaishin now, with Hibiki and Igo successfully ambushing and killing Ryuuji.
• Underestimating Badassery: Very prone to being underestimated, wait with Hibiki's style being about style more than actual power.
• Unknown Rival: Their relationship with Team Kaishin. Team fights always end early because Ran always gets kicked to the curb by Setsuna, so all their fights prove inconclusive.

New characters:

Hibiki Kaidan

Profile:

• Height: 212 cm
• Weight: 66 kg

A young martial artist who recently inherited his father's dojo due to his father's recent death. Sure that the mobs who lynched him to death are either linked with Number Zero or the Teisou family, he heads out for revenge. He has trained in China with Seino and Karyu shortly before the end of the training by Hakkou's incarceration. He also has an odd fascination with Sara and tries to recruit her, much to Ran's annoyance.

Tropes associated with Hibiki:

• Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Inheriting his father's dojo has changed him into this, since he genuinely believes to be the best at his style, which he promptly expanded to best in the world.
• Ax-Crazy: Hides it now, but his early killer-hunt had him fully there. He has occasional relapses when trying to squeeze answers from the TFE or Number Zero.
• Confusion Fu: A lot of it. His taunts or erratic magic both cement him as a user.
• I Shall Taunt You: His fighting style includes this with the goal of breaking the opponent's pace.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Definitely arrogant, definitely caring for his family.
• Lean and Mean: He's not mean at first sight, though he is quite petty. He also is nearly 7 feet tall while weighing less than most other people.
• Not-So-Harmless Villain: It's widely recognized that he could be much more threatening without his "style" holding him back.
• Overshadowed by Awesome: He's about on par with Ryuuji, though a bit weaker. Most teams introduced later usually mop the floor with him.
• Perpetual Poverty: He has winning tournaments as his only source of income and it does not happen that often.
• Reality Warper: Very offhandedly so, but his magic mostly involves improbable stuff, including Teleport Spam.
• Revenge: Though he's still looking for the man who had his father killed.
• You Killed My Father: He's hunting for his father's murderer.
• 0% Approval Rating: He is hated by everyone around his residence of Hong-Kong because of his early killer-hunt period during which he assaulted anyone and everyone with no provocation.

Sho Minamimorimachi

Profile:

• Height: 178 cm
• Weight: 82 kg

A good fighter who has fallen into obscurity in the Brazilian and English junior championships, he attempted to find excitement in the Japanese pro leagues and train from the best, especially the famed Karyu. So far, he "only" managed to hang out with Hibiki...

Tropes associated with Sho:

• Ascended Fanboy: Karyu fanboy, fights in the same league as him, though he's far from being high on the charts as Karyu is.
• Badass Normal: He is very bad at magic.
• Chivalrous Pervert: A Nice Guy who isn't above attempting to flirt with women to his liking.
• I Know Madden Kombat: Some of his moves are adapted from basketball, a sport that he used to play.
• Idiot Hero: Despite being a rival, he has all the characteristics of one.
• Overshadowed by Awesome: A lot of this.
• Spear Counterpart: To Sara, both being fans of someone in Hakkou's team. They know each other since Sara used to frequent Hibiki's dojo until she got to Hakkou, while Sho couldn't get a place in the team. He is pissed at Sara for this reason.
• Time Master: Upon arriving at the Stream, he manages to stabilize his magic and quickly masters this. However, this is short-lived.
• Unknown Rival: Sara treats him as this. Subverted in that he proves vastly more powerful than her.
• Worth It: He's not that disappointed to not have made the cut into Hakkou's team at least halfway through the plot. Satisfied with his team, he came to An Aesop that sometimes the journey is not all about the end.

Ran Kaidan

Profile:

• Height: 163 cm
• Weight: 51 kg

Hibiki's little sister, and his sole actual student, even though she has nothing left to learn from him anymore.

Tropes associated with Ran:

• Fragile Speedster: Unlike Hibiki, Teleport Spam isn't her only speed-based asset. Though, like him, she's lighter than most of her competition.
• Overshadowed by Awesome: Hibiki is constantly fearing this for her, but she brushes him off. Unfortunately, her recklessness causes her death when Setsuna fails to hold back. In the original, most deaths were caused by moves that are supers in gameplay. Ran dies to a special move.
• Teen Genius: Started training when Hibiki returned from a month of training in China. It's been mere months and she's already up there with him.

Igo Iwata

Profile:

• Height: 193 cm
• Weight: 93 kg

A creation of the Teisou family enterprises, he is half-mechanical, but hides that well. Created by Kako, he turned his back on him and went on to create his own branch enterprise, though it has close relationships with the TFE. He was cloned from a Reitou ninja, and the original's personality sometimes cracks through his cold facade.

Tropes associated with Igo:

• Above Good and Evil: Claims this. Still evil.
• Amazing Technicolor Population: Manages to not fall too hard into this, but his skin is greyish.
• Anti-Villain: Mostly motivated by his inferiority complex. Also, his original's good guy personality sometimes surfaces through him.
• Bystander Syndrome: He waits to figure out ways to help his team from the global conflict, unlike Kako's all-out offense against Ringoto.
• Wouldn't Hurt a Child: One of the lines he won't cross is hurting children.

Team Shinkan:

The new Hakkou Team. He united his disciples Seino and Karyu, with success this time. What he didn't expect is the fangirl that stalked Seino all the way to him; he nonetheless takes her in, wary of her potential.

Tropes associated with the team:

• The Ace: Hakkou, Seino and Karyu were each individually there. While Sara isn't one, Hakkou is the strongest of the normals.

Tropes associated with Seino:

• The Leader: After Hakkou kicks the bucket, he becomes the theam's leader. This is only for a short time, as the team is assassinated off-screen soon after.

Tropes associated with Karyu:

• Took a Level in Badass: Karyu is actually the strongest of the team, but story-wise, Seino just sees it as a powerup.

Tropes associated with Hakkou:

• The Paragon: Hakkou still being CEO of Number Zero helps a lot, as only Ringoto's war efforts can oppose him.

New character:

Sara Imachi

Profile:

• Height: 155 cm
• Weight: 49 kg

The girl of the team. A Seino fangirl, a bit of a tomboy herself. She used Hibiki to unite with her idol Seino.

Tropes associated with Sara:

• Ascended Fangirl: She's teaming up with her inspirator Seino.
• Hard Work Hardly Works: Contrarily to her teammates, she started fighting at late-middle-school age. She's not too much weaker than Seino, at times even showing him up.
• Hero-Worshipper: A Seino fangirl.
• Modesty Shorts: Otherwise she's just wearing a schoolgirl outfit.
• Ordinary High-School Student: A repeat dropout due to getting into fights too much and skipping lessons in favor of street fights; in the end, she even quit her country.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: She's the smallest out of the entire cast, but that doesn't stop her from being quite physical. However, she has no super asset to compensate for her weight, unlike Houka's Super-Strength, Xiangli and Kagura's speed and Death by a Thousand Cuts approach, or Frieda and Sol's raw magic power.

Team Taigi

Tatsuya's new team. Since Fuushi ran out on him, he accepted to mentor a team in need of a leader.

Tropes associated with the team:

• Gondor Calls for Aid: Since Fuushi ran out on him, Tatsuya made a public call to mentor any team of fighters that could influence the war in need of a leader. Only Tae-yeong responded for the chance of joining Tatsuya.
• We Hardly Knew Ye: Their appearance in the Asian Escape Arc is short, and all but Haruka are Killed Offscreen before even the middle of the following arc, their demise caused by Haruka herself.

Tropes associated with Clarence:

• Ascended Fanboy: He Jumped at the Call when Tatsuya made it.
• Meaningful Rename: He is Tae-yeong from the original Operation G. However, he renamed himself to his American birth name upon meeting his brother again.

Tropes associated with Drew:

• Bash Brothers: This time, he went straight to his long-lost brother.
• Meaningful Rename: He is Rigan from the original Operation G. However, he renamed himself to his American birth name upon meeting his brother again.

Tropes associated with Haruka:

• Mad Love: Falls in Love at First Sight with Aoshi, which instantly caused her to attack anyone in her way, mauling Tenko even through her One-Winged Angel form and ending the rest of her team.
• Team Killer: As early as the Ravages of War arc, she causes a quick end to the team. This is commented on when Team Kaishin face Team Jundou, as the reason Tenko is injured and Kiyoshi is bruised is because Haruka attacked them as well (though, luckily for Team Jundou, they were able to fend her off).
• Token Evil Teammate: Akina asked Tatsuya to keep Haruka in check and give her a figure she can get close to. Haruka is less than responsive to her teammates and coach's lectures about justice.
• Yandere: For Aoshi. Kiyoshi and Tenko underline that Aoshi wasn't targeted in Haruka's rampage.

Tropes associated with Tatsuya:

Team Ougoku

Niki's team remains, mostly intact since Akina didn't manage to thwart Houka's Rage Quit.

Tropes associated with the team:

• Demoted to Extra: As Koukyu goes on to become a Big Good and the main character status moves to Team Kaishin, they lose a lot of spotlight.

Tropes associated with Kuuki:

• The Last Dance: Once again, when Niki dies, Kuuki snaps. Except this time, he's a lot harder to stop and causes extra chaos.

Tropes associated with Niki:

• Cain and Abel: As a role swap from the original (where Miki was duplicitous and pragmatic but he was more evil), he becomes the Abel as Miki kills him.

New characters:

Émilien Le Blanc

Profile:

• Height: 190 cm
• Weight: 88 kg

A French amnesiac goth-esque man, he nonetheless is very strong for reasons beyond him. He accepted Niki's employment offer, sure that he has things to find out about Number Zero and Niki will help him.

Tropes associated with Émilien:

• Angst: His default mood over not knowing who he is.
• Big Beautiful Man: While dressed, you don't get to see his scars.
• Covered with Scars: Unusual ones which instantly tips Niki about the truth about him.
• Dark Is Not Evil: Frequently wears black and has a thing for goth fashion, but otherwise is a very good guy, if angsty.
• Emo Teen: Despite looking in his mid-twenties, he's barely even teenage.
• Heroes Love Dogs: Though Heroic Neutral, and with Anti-Villain Team Ougoku, he nonetheless is a very fair person and loves dogs.

Houka- 2

Profile:

• Height: 173 cm
• Weight: 66 kg

Niki's hazy recruitement of Houka and her regrets caused him to create a backup clone of her... which ends up having use when Houka is kidnapped. Like the original, she isn't a person who reasons much. Unlike her, though, she isn't defined by hate for Houka.

Tropes associated with Houka-2:

• Divergent Character Evolution: From Houka. She ends up being much like the original Houka-2, though through striving to be different than Houka rather than out of loathing her.
• Expy: In-Universe, of Houka. Otherwise, to the original Operation G's own Houka-2.
• I Shall Taunt You: Unlike the original, who remained mostly serious, this one can stoop to this.
• The Power of Hate: Despite Eiko's best efforts during her creation, Houka-2 still swears by it, though it doesn't corrupt her personality outside fights.

Team Kouei

Despite the name, the team lineup changed. This time, the team is led by Shiro and coached by Miki.

Tropes associated with the team:

• Team Killer: When Yuuji starts doubting Miki's intentions, she kills him.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Shiro and Yuuji are less-than-enthusiastic in assisting each other. Akemi and Miki keep this from going too far.

Tropes associated with Shiro:

• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After Miki kills Yuuji, Shiro abandons the team and goes off on his own to pursue his brothers.

Tropes associated with Yuuji:

• Thou Shalt Not Kill: The only one to advocate not killing Team Nerakuni. He is dismissed as fallacious because Hilbert is a former rival of his and Kagura is his sister.

Tropes associated with Akemi:

• Face–Monster Turn: She voluntarily goes crazy after Team Kouei's implosion.

Tropes associated with Miki:

• The Neidermeyer: While not incompetent, her callousness gets her regarded as this by Shiro and Yuuji.
• Servile Snarker: Reduced to being this to Akemi. While she tempers Shiro and Yuuji with far more force, she doesn't give a hard time at all to Akemi, mostly because she's scared of Akemi's power.
• Team Killer: When Yuuji questions her judgement as she killed Hilbert and Kagura, she murders him as well.

Team Jundou

Despite Aoshi not hooking Haruka in, this time the third member of the team is none other than Tenko.

Tropes associated with the team:

• Beef Gate: They're all extremely powerful to the point that Tenko feels out of place for being weak.
• Gone Horribly Right: Akina's precognition allowed her to prevent Haruka from being recruited into Team Jundou this time! However, she had her back turned to a bored Tenko who immediately jumped ship in her stead.

Tropes associated with Kiyoshi:

• Calling the Old Man Out: As he kills Natsuki, he calls her out for killing Tatsuya.

Tropes associated with Aoshi:

• Mad Love: While able to restrain himself upon first meeting with Haruka, upon their second meeting a few months later, he immediately betrays Team Jundou for her, killing Tenko in the process.

Tropes associated with Tenko:

• Politically Incorrect Villain: When Miki dies, she shows up to spit on her dead body and leaves with it in tow for use in experiments.
• Sudden Sequel Heel Syndrome: From her place in the prequel in Team Mugen, Tenko challenges Miki out loud this time, by becoming her antagonist.
• Took a Level in Kindness: Tenko is a lot more humble here than in the original, mostly due to being mauled by Haruka early.

Tropes associated with Natsuki:

• Obviously Evil: She doesn't hide how selfish she is. Her first appearance this time has her kill Tatsuya herself after she sends her team to protect him from Haruka.

Team Ginyoku

Ginshi's team. This time, she only managed to keep the team leader Kintou, so she forms her team with other people.

Tropes associated with the team:

• Action Survivor: In contrast to their status in the prequel, where they were significantly influential, this time the Silverwing is but a ship in a war of gods. It even crashes down twice across the course of the story.

Tropes associated with Kintou:

• Irony: His death. In the original, he found Ringoto attempting to evade him and Ringoto killed him. This time, Ringoto catches Kintou attempting to flee him, and kills him. The only thing that changed was which chased the other.

Tropes associated with Ginshi:

• Oh, Crap!: When the Silverwing is brought down for the second time, and this time Ringoto did it.
• Pet the Dog: She made sure to teleport Inna away before Ringoto found her, but had to destroy her teleporter before Ringoto got through her and Kintou.

New characters:

Daniel Mc Cane

Profile:

• Height: 184 cm
• Weight: 79 kg

An American former boxer-in-training who was expelled off the circuit after he brutally beat someone who had been employed by a bettor to injure him before a match. The infamy from said beatdown forced him to retire and found a bodyguard-for-hire agency in Europe. He has been the leader of an agency that stood rival to Number Zero's more illegal experiments, but it has been disbanded when the leadership of Number Zero changed hands.

Tropes associated with Daniel:

• Bald of Authority: Used to be this when he was still a mercenary. He's not the leader in this team though he has the skills and Kintou quickly comes to trust him.
• Megaton Punch: He's a former boxer, so it's obvious that it's his specialty.
• Scary Black Man: Uses intimidation tactics to make up for his lack of power in the war.
• Training from Hell: Given that he was fighting professional Number Zero bodyguards, he did this for a while when he started becoming a mercenary.

Inna Ivanova

Profile:

• Height: 160 cm
• Weight: 50 kg

A nice girl from Russia who comes from a rich family. She had a tendency to pick fights with bullies to get stronger. She doesn't know the root of her powers, but they don't matter. Actually a clone of the original, who was murdered by her own parents when she started running into their mafia business. Ironically, this caused Number Zero to wipe them out and recreate her as a human weapon, but Ginshi managed to steal her.

Tropes associated with Inna:

• Beware the Nice Ones: She'd start behaving like a killing machine until the one who pushed her too much is dead and buried.
• Charles Atlas Superpower: Her main one.

Team Chuugoku

Exactly What It Says on the Tin: the Chinese team. Lead by Torou and supervised by Tang, the rest being Gilberto and Xiang Yuanzi (who is really Lucille).

Tropes associated with the team:

• Decapitated Army: Inverted. With Tang at the helm, the team let itself be shackled to China's defense. After his death, they are no longer under contract with Chinese higher-ups and thus can take more proactive action in the war going on.
• Guile Hero: With only Lucille being powerful enough to fight the strongest of them, the team mostly relies on being this.
• In Name Only: With Lucille joining after Tang kicks the bucket, the team of four is never united.
• Killed Offscreen: Torou and Gilberto are two of the deaths that set off the Europe Chaos arc.

Tropes associated with Torou:

• Mask of Power: He is masked at all times.

Tropes associated with Gilberto:

• Darker and Edgier: Has a Ninja-like makeover, since he's acting as part of the Yi Clan.

Tropes associated with Yuanzi:

• Meaningful Rename: By contrast to Torou and Gilberto, who retianed their foreign names due to ties with the Yi clan, Lucille had to rename herself when moving to China.

Tropes associated with Tang:

• Not So Invincible After All: This time, sickness catches up to him really fast, and he kicks the bucket fighting Team Kaishin, being the first character to die.
• Senseless Sacrifice: His death is derided as this by Kako, who laments the utter waste of Tang's life.

Team Wakeshi

The four "all-knowledgeable", responsible for the timestream changes.

Tropes associated with the team:

• Big Good
• Decapitated Army: Knowing of another future doesn't make one immune to being killed; Akina dies about halfway in and leaves Team Wakeshi disoriented.
• Retroactive Precognition: They're reponsible for the time rewinding, with knowledge of everything that happened.
  • Screw Destiny: The mere act, though, changed a lot. They still try to change what they can.

Tropes associated with Koukyu:

• Call-Back: At the very end, he reassures Eiko that she can fix things, suggesting influencing the Stream as he did for Akina before.

Tropes associated with Tsuyoshi:

Tropes associated with Keiko:

Tropes associated with Akina:

• Stronger Sibling: Averted this time. Haruka even kills her off.

Team Nerakuni

A team that stands as rivals to Team Kouei.

Tropes associated with the team:

• Curb-Stomp Battle: Their fight against Team Kouei isn't even close for the most part; despite planning their attack, Team Nerakuni loses horribly, and it's made even worse by the fact that even Niki's intervention didn't help.
• A Death in the Limelight: The team is established early in the Turning Leaf Arc as rivals to Team Kouei, that arc centering on Chou's return and an assault on the Reitou compound that costs all but Chou their lives.
• Hero Antagonist: Are revealed to be this after they die, since they assaulted the Reitou compound to kill Miki, who is out for power this time.
• Highly-Visible Ninja: Kagerou and Kagura, as a Take That! to the Reitou ninjas, Kagerou being an enemy to the Reitou clan, and Kagura being Yuuji's Turn Coat sister-by-adoption. They do retain speed and discretion to the point of managing to inflitrate the Reitou compound despite their lacking stealth.
• Knight of Cerebus: Their assault on the Reitou compound leaves them all dead, most to Miki's hands.

New characters:

Hilbert Paston

Profile:

• Height: 203 cm
• Weight: 271 kg

A friend of Yuuji's youth in America, he grew up to become a street thug and repeat prison-breaker after being accused of violence when he and Yuuji rescued a girl from the neighborhood. Sent to Russia after being captured one too many times, he was the source of an uproar that caused a big breakout. After bringing some of the more despicable ones back into the authorities' clutches, Hilbert disappeared and wandered to Japan, where he picked a fight with the Reitou clan, knowing that Yuuji was there. On the lookout for a challenge, Hilbert made an enemy of them, eventually making a friend of Chouji Reitou.

Tropes associated with Hilbert:

• Blood Knight: He can't resist picking fights sometimes. Notable in that he repeatedly challenges the Reitou clan by himself.
• Fallen Hero: Or fallen Bully Hunter at the very least.
• Husky Russkie: His big frame comes from his time in Russian jail.
• Jade-Colored Glasses: Getting punished for defending himself and other people took its toll on his view of the world.
• Megaton Punch: Packs a few of these.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: With Yuuji, in an odd Loving a Shadow relationship. Hilbert remembers Yuuji gave him a good workout, so he picks up a fight with the entire Reitou clan in hopes he will show up.

Kagerou Kongou

Profile:

• Height: 178 cm
• Weight: 71 kg

A ninja from a hidden clan enemy to the Reitou. He hates the fact that they get all the attention and don't behave like true ninjas. He fled to America to not hear from them anymore, but once again hears of them from the bodyguarding they do here. Enraged, he ended up becoming quite infamous by selling his knowledge in drugs in the local underground fighting scene while repeatedly travelling back and forth between America and his home Japan.

Tropes associated with Kagerou:

• Arch-Enemy: The Reitou clan, basically just because they broke his image of ninjahood.
• Hidden Depths: Contrary to usual, when feeling insulted by his Reitou enemies, he runs his potty mouth off.
• Names to Run Away from Really Fast: His first name means shadow's son. His family name, meaning indestructible, is also the name of a Japanese battleship.

Kagura Uramichi

Profile:

• Height: 160 cm
• Weight: 47 kg

Yuuji's sister via his adoption, she's actually a rowdy girl who doesn't want to follow the way of the ninja, preferring riding her bike to walking around discretely. After turning 16, she was pushed once too much by being forced into a battle against Number Zero, where she was beat up badly by their weaponized human victims, the very ones she was out to save. She left the Reitou Clan by acquainting another Reitou rebel: none other than Chouji.

Tropes associated with Kagura:

• Berserk Button: Not only the Reitou Clan, but also Number Zero, considering that she reached her breaking point by having a fight picked with them.
• Face–Heel Turn: As backstory, she turned on the Reitou, who are faces.
• Fragile Speedster: Leans there despite not being a ninja.
• Highly-Visible Ninja: How she still looks as a Take That! to her clan.
• Non-Indicative Name: Kagura is the name of a prayer, nothing that she would ever do.
• Weak, but Skilled: No magic, just Ki Manipulation. Nonetheless, she was one of the best.

Chou

Profile:

• Height: 187 cm
• Weight: 94 kg

The reincarnation of Chouji Reitou's soul. When Team Ryuushi met Team Ougoku, they felt Niki's grief before Chouji's death, and therefore offered their help. Eiko then reanchored Chouji's soul in a new body... which happens to be female because Eiko based the body she created on her own. Chou, after assuring Niki that she was Chouji's soul and choosing her name, simply picked back what she had left off. Though, she starts opposing the Teisou clan too after hearing Ringoto starts taking over the world.

Tropes associated with Chou:

• Anti-Villain: She only acts out of being The Unfettered and dislikes rules in general. She also retained a cranky personality from her past life, which is exacerbated once Niki dies.
• The Atoner: For several murder cases. Hibiki's father being one.
• Badass Bookworm: Actively studies science. Chouji studied a lot about science, for Niki's impersonation to seem correct.
• Butterfly of Death and Rebirth: Chou means butterfly. Having been Chouji strikes even further.
• Heel Realization: She realizes that she has a lot to fix considering her attitude and her actions so far, but still stands rival to Team Kouei and the Reitou clan as they still aren't to tell her what to do.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Well-hidden, but one trait she gained is compassion and a desire for everyone to be free.
• She Is the King: Still calls herself "The King" at times. She's not 100% accustomed to the Gender Flip.
• Sir Swears-a-Lot: Apparently it's become worse.
• Smug Super: Extremely powerful especially since her body is similar to Eiko's.

Team Sukunushi

A sect-like team that intends to stop the war by fighting every other side off.

Tropes associated with the team:

• I Work Alone: The team insists on "saving the world" in their own way.

Tropes associated with Qing:

• Aloof Ally: Maybe this is what makes him look so cool to his subordinates' eyes.
• The Charmer: Has some of the elements, but it's a façade.
• Good Scars, Evil Scars: Hides some scars he got during his father's maiming of him.
• Handicapped Badass: His father gouged his eyes out.

A French-British young man orphaned, abandoned by his street-fighting father and lived on the streets. While he took care of his sister, he had to leave her behind when she was caught by the social services, while he would live on as a thief. He loathed his family so much that he left for Britain, where he was spotted and recruited into a sect. Devoted to the man who rescued him, Clotaire kills every fighter he can out of his loathing of his father.

Tropes associated with Clotaire:

• Being Good Sucks: Is sure of that.
• Disappeared Dad: His Freudian Excuse.
• French Jerk: Half-French; his mother was a Brit.
• Hypocrite: He hates pro fighters, he eventually became a Professional Killer.

Xiang Li Zhen

Profile:

• Height: 164 cm
• Weight: 48 kg

A Chinese girl whose parents moved to America with her. She fought on the streets to live and worked as a waitress in a restaurant until she was fired for fighting perverted customers off. She was expatriated to Russia, where she was forced into public utility work, but was kidnapped mid-work by an unknown sect. After formation, she eventually came to be named leader of this section after her superior was killed in action.

Tropes associated with Xiang Li:

• Broken Bird: Was forced to work at a young age in downtowns, and then she was fired and sent to Russia. She's only 16, and she's broken by how bad she was treated by almost everyone.

Theophanie

Profile:

• Height: 178 cm
• Weight: 83 kg

Leader of a sect who keeps the secret to Godhood. She tries to save the world in her own way, by razing those who wage war on them and ascending to Godhood.

Tropes associated with Theophanie:

• Affably Evil: Organizes killing around the world, but is nonetheless a polite person and has a tendency to forfeit fights when the opponent does have a bad bone with her and a reason to go with it.
• All-Powerful Bystander: Knows a lot about things that would be spoilered. The Stream, for example.
• Anti-Villain: Tries to do good, but this inevitably will imply a load of deaths considering a large number are either with Ringoto or his main opposition which she seeks to exterminate both.
• Asskicking Leads to Leadership: Got promoted to leader of the sect because she's that strong.
• Cult: The sect she leads is one centered around its leader and the Stream.
• Deadpan Snarker: She has her moments.
• A God Am I: Promptly pulls the same card as Ringoto when she notices he is waging war on the world as a god.
• Sophisticated as Hell: Sometimes, especially when insulting lower-class opponents.

Eiko

Profile:

• Height: 168 cm
• Weight: 55 kg

The Child of the Stream, she appeared there from absolutely nowhere.

Tropes associated with Eiko:

• "Hell, Yes!" Moment: Whenever she decides to kick some ass. Team Wakeshi's reaction to her standing against Ringoto's world conquest is full of this.
• Physical God: And possibly even more than in the original.

Team Sochi

An apparently-freelance team that struggles against Ringoto's world conquest.

Tropes associated with the team:

• Gone Horribly Right: They work fine at delaying Ringoto's interventions. Then Mashin kidnaps Houka, and brainwashes her so that he has a proper puppet to coach and give out orders to the team. They notice her brainwashing quickly, snap her out of it, and turn on Mashin.
• No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Their method of action is essentially ganging up on Ringoto's emissaries 3-on-one and leaving before being spotted by the "gods".

Tropes associated with Houka:

• Recycled Script: Furthering the Shout-Out to A-Ko Project, where Chiaki is kidnapped and brainwashed at the start of the final arc. In Reloaded, Houka also first appears kidnapped and brainwashed, which lasts for an arc. She is also killed shortly after.

New characters:

Barney Garrant

Profile:

• Height: 195 cm
• Weight: 107 kg

An Australian underground fighter, who gained a lot of background influence even in the pro field given how he made good acquaintances with everyone he encountered. His father created a killing agency, but it was taken over by an unknown sect before Barney would inherit it. He decided to take it easy instead, but the wars upon the world have him side against Ringoto's crazed world conquest and working for the opposition.

Tropes associated with Barney:

• Badass in a Nice Suit: Complete with Fur and Loathing on his Badass Longcoat.
• The Charmer: His natural charisma is so great that he makes Houka make a Heel-Face Turn.
• The Gadfly: Tends to rub people the wrong way just so that they don't investigate on him further.
• Nice Guy: When not trolling people.

Brun Hardt

Profile:

• Height: 203 cm
• Weight: 144 kg

A German fighter who overwhelmed the pro fighting field for his short activity time. He was kidnapped and experimented on by Number Zero, cutting his streak short. He came back as a fighter and killer for hire for whoever needed to give a beating to anyone.

Tropes associated with Brun:

• More than Mind Control: Had a device implanted in him that allows him a mild form of this into some other experiments. He rarely uses it because he doesn't really give a damn.
• The Quiet One: Speaks very little.
• Red Herring: His ability to control and empower his fellow experimental subjects never comes to play a role since he doesn't see a purpose to it.
• The Rival: Daniel McCane is his, because Brun attacked him when Daniel saved him.
• Spirited Competitor: Formerly, he since took a dive to Blood Knight.
• Took a Level in Badass: The experiments done on him had this effect, for more Oh, Crap! effect on his opposition.

Brianna Reed

Profile:

• Height: 164 cm
• Weight: 57 kg

An American-born girl, she emigrated to Korea to cash in on her musical talent when her parents were murdered. Due to her success, diverse organizations stood opposite to her success. She learned some mild Taek Won Do notions to defend herself, but developed an addiction to fighting. Her musical career is halted by her getting talked by Igo into getting experimented on, because with Ringoto's actions, there will be a lot of fighting to do.

Tropes associated with Brianna:

• Blood Knight: She really loves fighting.
• Card-Carrying Villain: Hell yes, she will tell you how much she likes beating people up while doing it.
• Cyborg: Unlike most other enhancements in the series, Number Zero isn't responsible for her eyes. It's actually a branch of the Teisou family enterprises.
• Double Entendre: Loves to make these.
• Even Evil Has Standards: She's a Friend to All Children.
• Gone Horribly Right: Her Cyborgization. She was so powerful that she turned coat on the one who empowered her.
• Nominal Hero: She is a Combat Sadomasochist and especially loves the dishing of pain, even after Team Sochi pull a Heel–Face Turn.

Team Gunshin

The world-conquering team, founded by Ringoto. All members of the team seem to have been empowered in some fashion by him, serving as his emissaries.

Tropes associated with the team:

• Take Over the World: The objective of the team.

New characters:

Meguri Teisou

Profile:

• Height: 175 cm
• Weight: 63 kg

One of Ringoto's sons and the spearhead of Team Gunshin. Loyal to a fault to his father and God, he is probably the first person Ringoto had under submission. He worked as Daniel's Number Two when they were struggling against Number Zero.

Tropes associated with Meguri:

• Awesomeness by Analysis: Tends to describe his opponents' attacks while blocking them.
• The Cape: To Ringoto's followers. Bonus points for the coat of arms.
• Church Militant: Replace God by Ringoto.
• Dissonant Serenity: Calm, soft-spoken and unforgiving.

• Light Is Not Good: So much.

Kuran Akushi

Profile:

• Height: 179 cm
• Weight: 73 kg

An experimental Artificial Human created by Ringoto for his world conquest. He is brash, condescending and a megalomaniac to boot.

Tropes associated with Kuran:

• Badass Back: Arrogantly, to give his opponent a look at his Badass Cape.
• Better to Die than Be Killed: After one too many hints at his eventual fate, he suicide-bombs and takes Meguri with him.
• Big Bad Wannabe: Not really, but he shapes himself up as one of the strongest. He's completely subservient to Ringoto, though more mildly so than the others.
• Humanoid Abomination: He can be referred to as an incomplete version of Eiko.
• Obviously Evil: The aku in his family name stands for evil.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: Red to Meguri's Blue.
• Spanner in the Works: Ringoto starts the Finale looking to regain momentum on his war, his team still almost full. One lecture later and said momentum is destroyed as Kuran kills himself and Meguri, leaving Ringoto utterly alone.
• Unskilled, but Strong: Never trained and is extremely recently born. Backs it up with great power.
• You Are Number 6: Kuran is written with the kanji for nine.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: If his name contains evil while Ringoto himself is obsessed with godly holiness, you know he has this in store for Kuran.

Sol Cielo

Profile:

• Height: 168 cm
• Weight: 46.5 kg

A disappeared informant for Kako. She was kidnapped and left to die in a decrepit laboratory. Escaping with little knowledge left, she finds herself without memories and searches for a purpose, which she finds in Ringoto's mad conquest.

Tropes associated with Sol:

• Amnesiac Resonance: What Sol remembers? Her skill at killing people. Naturally she turns out to be more dangerous than before she got amnesia.
• Ax-Crazy: She is so devoid of purpose that she finds glee in killing for Ringoto's cause.
• Beauty Is Bad: Alluded to in her life before kidnapping. Kako mentions that she was beautiful and deadly, and has killed in his name more than once. The beauty has faded, but the bad remains.
• Blood Lust: Drawing blood from her opponent is only the start of the immense sense of satisfaction she gets from killing people.
• The Eeyore: While not fighting, she is near-constantly depressed.
• Even Evil Has Standards: She is an Ax-Crazy murderer, but she retains her taste for beauty and dislikes the taste Kuran and Ringoto have for wanton destruction.
• Femme Fatalons: They are even noted as her main method of murder.
• Interplay of Sex and Violence: The ambiguity of the way she enjoys fighting or killing people makes it look like this.
• Limp and Livid
• Obviously Evil: The zombie-like gait and the way she gets excited when she fights and murders people make her this.
• Psychotic Smirk: A frequent expression while fighting.
• Stalker with a Crush: She stalks Kuran under all circumstances, which makes him extremely antsy.
• Yandere: She has an unhealthy fascination with Kuran.

Team Mizuchi

The team that stands opposite to Ringoto's world-conquering by "securing" territories. It's really just the Mashin Team.

Tropes associated with the team:

• Villain with Good Publicity: By virtue of fighting Ringoto, they have instant PR.

New characters:

Youku Teisou

Profile:

• Height: 185 cm
• Weight: 84 kg

Ringoto's ninth (second-to-last) son. He betrays his father when he starts his crazed conquest of the world, but is just as evil as him: when it turns out his side is evil too, he doesn't give a thing about it.

Tropes associated with Youku:

• Black-and-Grey Morality: And he doesn't see himself as the lightest of the grey.
• Bounty Hunter: Has done this to earn infamy.
• Genius Bruiser: Much more intelligent than he lets on, since he is a Darwinist after elaborated reflexions on history.
• Might Makes Right: A firm believer.
• Super Prototype: Was enhanced in Teisou enterprises' experiments as the first of several. He ended up betraying Ringoto.
• Unskilled, but Strong: Downplayed, but he mostly gets by with raw power.

Theodor

Profile:

• Height: 196 cm
• Weight: 170 kg

Theophanie's jealous bastard brother. He repeatedly tried to take her sect over because she's a girl and he's a man. As Ringoto attempts to conquer the world and an opposing force comes forth, he joins his favourite of the two and prepares his takeover on his sister's organization.

• Bastard Bastard: Actually a bastard child, and only half-brother to Theophanie.
• Rank Scales with Asskicking: Was Number Two in Theophanie's sect. Kicks ass as need arises.
• Rebel Prince: Just a second-in-command since his and Theophanie's father has long since passed away.
• Sophisticated as Hell: Much more often than his sister.
• The Starscream: To Theophanie.
• Younger Than They Look: Is barely even 20 despite looking like he's 10 years older than that.

Frieda Hivernale

Profile:

• Height: 162 cm
• Weight: 46 kg

An Artificial Human created by Mashin and cloned from a Russian girl, plus genetic addendums from other characters such as Brun. She completes the Mizuchi Team. She has odd relationships with the rest of her team.

Tropes associated with Frieda:

• Brainwashed and Crazy: Mashin proved successful with Houka-2 in the original, and much like her, Frieda has little to no personality outside obeying Mashin's orders and going Ax-Crazy on other people.
• Machine Monotone: She can be composed, unlike Houka-2. In which case she speaks like this.
