*** [[TheSocialDarwinist The Akelonian posing as Karin Saeki]] is the first of Warp Monarch's agents on Earth and one of their most [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]]. [[DeadPersonImpersonation Taking on the identity of a long-dead woman]], the Akelonian awakens the Wind Tribe Gransazers, setting them against the Flame Tribe with lies that the latter will destroy the Earth. When a similar attempt on the Earth Trobe fails, she attempts to have them killed in retaliation. Karin also shows no regard for bystanders, attacking one of Tenma's coworkers precisely because she was nearby, and attempting to murder Professor Hoshiguchi when [[HeKnowsTooMuch he discovers that she is an imposter]]. After her identity is exposed, the Akelonian turns on those she has recruited easily, before assuming her giant monster form and kidnapping Akira so [[CruelMercy he can be the last survivor of humanity after she destroys it]].
*** [[TheChessmaster Belzeus]] is [[TheManBehindTheMan the true mastermind]] behind Warp Monarch's invasion of Earth, smearing humans as descendants of the Bosquito in order to justify a [[KillAllHumans cleansing]] of the planet so he can take it over and use it as a foothold to become a GalacticConqueror. To further incentivize Warp Monarch to attack, Belzeus tricks his subordinate Luka into using her life force to bring back the Bosquito so it will overrun Earth. Eyeing Ran as a threat to his plans, Belzeus has his minion Brighton pose as a peace ambassador and say Ran is a descendant of the Bosquito, lying that the Warp Monarch will cease their invasion if she is killed. After having one of his minions [[SuicideAttack suicide bomb]] Ruby before she could reveal the truth, Belzeus arrives on Earth personally to murder Ran and prevent any chance of the truth coming out before the Warp Monarch's fleet wipes out humanity.
