| 9 | * BridgeBunnies: Subverted, the fact that Aura Ships are powered by Aura instead of electricity means that the Zelana only needs two crew members on the bridge, a helmsman and a communications officer - both of which are male. |
| 10 | %%* CoolShip: The Zelana itself. |
| 11 | * LaResistance: In the rebellion to free the Kingdom of Ah from Drake's grasp. |
| 12 | * LoveDodecahedron: More than one love triangle occurs amongst them. |

| 19 | -->''"I...want to rid Byston Well of all things tied to the Aura Machines. That's why I came back."'' |
| 20 | |
| 21 | A motocross enthusiast who whilst riding his bike, is transported to the world of Byston Well. There he is enlisted into Drake's army though a chance encounter with Marvel Frozen of the Anti-Drake resistance causes him to fight his former lord. |
| 22 | -> '''Pilots:''' Dunbine (Blue), Fou, Billbine |
| 23 | ---- |
| 24 | * AccidentalProposal: Gave Riml a bunch of Polopoise flowers as a get well present, not realising that in Byston Well that's commonly done to propose to a lover due to the flowers' name meaning "I will only love you forever". |
| 25 | * AcePilot: Slowly becomes this as his piloting skills and growing Aura power make up for using an outdated model Aura Battler. |
| 26 | * AllLovingHero: Grows into this as he treats both the Ferario and the Garou Ran with as much respect as if they were human and even cries several times over the deaths of his less evil antagonists. |
| 27 | * BadassBiker: Though we don't get to see a lot of it since he leaves his bike behind in Drake's Castle. [[spoiler: Becomes a ChekhovsGun during the rescue of Silkie.]] |
| 28 | * BattleAura: His is colored light green. |
| 29 | * TheHeroDies: [[spoiler: Bites it in the final episode.]] |
| 30 | * FakeDefector: One of his more unorthodox tactics against Bishott was to pretend to defect after supposedly destroying the Dunbine. [[spoiler: The Black Knight sees through it before Show can finish planting the explosives and is forced to retreat.]] |
| 31 | * FlashStep: His signature Off-Shoot ability which allows him to dash around at such high speeds he leaves after images. It's not exclusive to him, but he was the first to discover it and the only one of the heroes to use it. |
| 32 | * HypocriticalHumor: Teases Nie about being oblivious to Marvel's feelings when he himself never notices Cham's feelings for him. |
| 33 | * JapaneseDelinquents: How he was before the events of the anime. |
| 34 | * MidSeasonUpgrade: After proving himself to Queen Ciela, she entrusts to him the Billbine whilst Show passes the Dunbine on to Marvel. |
| 35 | * MutualKill: [[spoiler: He and Bern stab each other with their swords as their machines explode.]] |
| 36 | * NaiveNewcomer: Is easily swayed by Drake's temptation to become a Battler and blindly serves until Marvel opens his eyes to Drake's true ambition. |
| 37 | * ObliviousToLove: Never realises that Cham and ([[ShipTease maybe]]) Ciela have feelings for him. |
| 38 | * ThatManIsDead: Realising that he has no place back home, he states to the Japanese Government that "Show Zama" is dead and he is just an imposter so that his parents won't face any punishment for his own actions. |
| 39 | * ThisIsGonnaSuck: [[spoiler:He has this expression when he returns to Upper Earth and finds out so has everyone else, Aura Machines included. Considering his first return to Upper Earth, he knows well that no matter what happens, the planet is pretty much screwed.]] |
| 40 | * XMarksTheHero: Has an unexplained cross shaped scar on his chin. Presumably from his attempts to get into motocross. |
| 41 | |

| 45 | -->''"Even if you love someone. You still might die without being loved once..."'' |
| 46 | |
| 47 | A Mi Ferario that hangs around the Zelana after falling from the Ferario's dimension. Over time she bonds with the crew and decides to pull her weight by riding in Show's cockpit to assist him. |
| 48 | ---- |
| 49 | * AllLoveIsUnrequited: Has feelings for Show but recognises he is in love with Marvel and so never says anything. |
| 50 | * ButtMonkey: If something comedically bad happens, it typically happens to Cham. |
| 51 | * CallingYourAttacks: Tends to name and shout Show's attacks. |
| 52 | -->'''Cham:''' Here it comes, the finishing blow! AURA SLAAAAAAAAASH! |
| 53 | * TheFairFolk: Initially comes off as detached like the rest of the Ferario - only really opposing Drake because he's torturing fellow Ferario Silky, but she quickly subverts it by becoming TheHeart of the team and mediates the more extreme personalities. |
| 54 | * NarratorAllAlong: A variation. [[spoiler: Whilst the narrator's true identity is never revealed, he does state that the story he narrates was told to him by the SoleSurvivor Cham.]] |
| 55 | * RunningGag: A couple as she's the comic relief such as getting trapped in boxes and banging her head against glass windows. |
| 56 | * SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler: Of the characters who entered the final battle, she is the only one to survive.]] |
| 57 | |
| 58 | !!Marvel Frozen |

| 65 | ---- |
| 66 | * AllLoveIsUnrequited: Starts off in love with Nie.[[spoiler:Over time she falls for Show instead who does reciprocate.]] |
| 67 | * BattleAura: Hers is colored red. |
| 68 | * CantCatchUp: Suffers a mixture of being stuck with outdated models and lacking the overwhelming Aura power that Show possesses. She gets a lot better when she obtains the Dunbine. |
| 69 | * {{Eagleland}}: A much more sympathetic Type 1 in contrast to Todd. |
| 70 | * SecretStabWound: [[spoiler: Suffers a fatal one in the final clash with the Spriggan courtesy of the Black Knight. She hides it from Show and after he heads off to fight Drake she allows herself to perish in her exploding Dunbine.]] |
| 71 | * SpannerInTheWorks: Her coming into contact with Show and convincing him of Drake's malice puts a real dent in the latter's plans to dominate as he would have otherwise been unmatched in military strength. |
| 72 | * TheStoic: Easily the most level-headed of the crew and tries to ground the more extreme personalities. When she explains the series' TranslationConvention to Show, she mentions she does some meditation after saying that the only word of Japanese she actually knows was "Zen". |
| 73 | |
| 74 | !!Nie Given |
| 75 | !!!Voiced by: Makoto Ataka (JP), Creator/VicMignogna (ENG) |

| 80 | -> '''Commands:''' Zelana |
| 81 | -> '''Pilots:''' Drumlo, Fou, Bozune, Botune |
| 82 | ---- |
| 83 | * AbsenceMakesTheHeartGoYonder: How his relationship with Marvel started. |
| 84 | * TheCaptain: After the death of his father. Though he also pulls double duty as the secondary Helmsman of the Zelana. |
| 85 | * DeathSeeker: Shows shades of this in the final battle [[spoiler:after losing his ship, Riml and (as far as he was aware) his entire crew. He preforms a suicidal charge on the Will-Wipps to make sure Drake dies, barely even registering the attacks of the remaining Mooks.]] |
| 86 | * FrontlineGeneral: Justified as to the small nature of his [[LaResistance resistance group]] and if push comes to shove, he'll even jump in an Aura Battler and fight directly himself. |
| 87 | * GenderBlenderName: His name is a corruption of Nicnevin, the Queen of Fairies in Scottish mythology. |
| 88 | * HonorBeforeReason: A large part of his character development is growing out of this. |
| 89 | * LoveTriangle: He loves Riml but also has feelings for Marvel. |
| 90 | * ObliviousToLove: Is completely unaware of Keen's feelings for him, only having eyes for Riml. |
| 91 | * {{Revenge}}: Wants to kill Drake for the deaths of his parents. [[spoiler: And later for killing Keen. Also kills Luuza for the murder of Riml.]] |
| 92 | * StarCrossedLovers: His courtship with Drake's daughter Riml is a painful parallel of Romeo and Juliet. |
| 93 | * WouldHitAGirl: Has no qualms giving corporal punishment to Riml. [[spoiler:He also doesn't hold back when he guns down Luuza.]] |
| 94 | |
| 95 | !!Keen Kiss |

| 98 | |
| 99 | The heir to the House of Kiss which is allied with the Given family. Keen plays more of a support role, often backing up Show and company in the Fou, though she does upgrade to better Aura Machines late in the series. |
| 100 | -> '''Pilots:''' Fou, Dana O'Shee, Bozune, Botune |
| 101 | ---- |
| 102 | * AllLoveIsUnrequited: She has an obvious crush on Nie but he doesn't realise and only sees her as a younger sister. |
| 103 | %%Doesn't explain what the reaction is. * BerserkButton: She hates being treated as either a child or a burden. |
| 104 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: At the hands of Muisy whom they had accidentally set free during their assault of the Will Wipps in the final episode.]] |
| 105 | * LeeroyJenkins: Eager to prove she's not a burden on the team, but often gets into trouble because of it. |
| 106 | * OlderThanHeLooks: Her short stature and immature behavior makes her seem a lot younger than a sixteen year old should be. |
| 107 | * SelfMadeOrphan: A tragic example [[spoiler: as her father was forced into allying with Drake and faced her on the battlefield and with Show they accidentally destroyed his Aura Bomber causing him to plummet to his death.]] |
| 108 | * SpannerInTheWorks: She foils Muisy's plot to assassinate Ciela because she simply couldn't believe that Muisy was telling the truth about being an innocent victim. |

| 127 | * RedHerring: [[spoiler: Despite the Black Knight secretly giving her a grenade to help her escape, Reml doesn't use it and instead finds a more peaceful way out by negotiating with the Upper-Earthers also trapped on Bishott's ship to work together and escape.]] |
| 128 | * RunningGag: Her crashing an Aura Battler. |
| 129 | * SelfMadeOrphan: Attempts this on her mother. [[spoiler: Tragically she suffers the [[OffingTheOfspring reverse trope]] instead.]] |
| 130 | * StarCrossedLovers: With Nie Given. [[spoiler: It ends about as well.]] |

| 191 | ---- |
| 192 | * AnimalMotifs: Dragons as evidenced by his name, flag and his dragon cane. |
| 193 | %%* AristocratsAreEvil: After overthrowing King Furaon and making himself the new ruler of the Kingdom of Ah. |
| 194 | * BadBoss: Surprisingly subverted, thanks to having to serve under [[TheCaligula King Furaon]], Drake is smart enough to know that being a jerk to your subordinates does not create loyalty and tries to treat his men favorably even when they fail. |
| 195 | * BaldOfEvil |
| 196 | * BehindEveryGreatMan: He wonders if this was the case when he finds out Luuza was using him the whole time. [[spoiler:Part of the reason for wanting to start another war was to see if it was true or not.]] |
| 197 | * BestServedCold: [[spoiler: After learning of Luuza and Bishott's treachery he feigns ignorance while commanding Bishott's battleship to head out first in battle in the hopes that the heroes will destroy them for him.]] |
| 198 | -->'''Drake:''' Don't you ''dare'' let him retreat. I'll have him work hard as my shield! |
| 199 | * BigBad: He's not the only person Show fights throughout the story, but he is the largest and most consistent enemy. |
| 200 | * ClassyCane: He always carries around a cane with an elaborate dragon shaped handle. [[spoiler:[[CaneFu He even used it to backhand Muisy who was in the middle of trying to assassinate him.]]]] |
| 201 | * CoolShip: His flagship the Will Wipps. |
| 202 | * DramaticIrony: He's full of these. |
| 203 | ** In Byston Well there exists a legend of a "Holy Warrior" that will descend and save the world from disaster. Drake initially paints Show and Todd as these heroes. Only for Show to fulfil the prophecy by saving the world from Drake. |
| 204 | ** When he tries to bluff Silkie into summoning more Upper-Earthers, he claims that there are people that would do harm to his daughter Riml...cue Silkie's line of sight slowly shifting to [[EvilMatriarch Luuza]] before agreeing that Drake is right. |
| 205 | ** And the biggest would be his final fate - see KarmicDeath for why. |
| 206 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Genuinely cares for his wife and daughter. [[spoiler: It's why he doesn't realise Luuza's manipulation of him right until the end.]] |
| 207 | * {{Expy}}: Of Gihren Zabi from Anime/MobileSuitGundam being that he's an evil aristocrat who overthrows his leader to become the Supreme Commander, who leads an uprising to conquer all of humanity and is betrayed by a female family member. |
| 208 | * {{Foil}}: Serves as one to the BigGood Ciela in that he was born a minor vassal who schemed his way to become Supreme Commander of his Kingdom, he tries to artificially generate loyalty through treats like feasts for his prized Aura Battlers and ultimately values himself above his men - see KnowWhenToFoldEm for details. |
| 209 | * TheHeavy: While Show does fight other enemies such as Bishott, all sources of conflict in the story can be traced back to Drake summoning the Upper Earthers and introducing Aura Battlers to Byston Well. |
| 210 | * KarmicDeath: [[spoiler: Started a civil war by killing his political opponent Lord Given, the war is ended when Given's son Nie kills Drake.]] |
| 211 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: [[spoiler: In the final battle, knowing that the heroes are preforming a suicidal charge to bring him down, he advances his battleship pretending to go down with it whilst secretly preparing a transport ship to escape. Nie catches him and puts a stop to that.]] |
| 212 | * LawOfChromaticSuperiority: His flagship is colored red and is easily the most powerful. |
| 213 | * NonActionBigBad: Lampshaded by Shot who asks why Drake put on his armor when he doesn't fight himself. Drake replies that it generates morale amongst the troops as they feel he is fighting alongside them in spirit. |
| 214 | * OutOfFocus: Spends a good chunk of the final arc laying low preparing for the final battle and as a result the story focuses more on Bishott and Shot's evil schemes. |
| 215 | * PetTheDog: When he is reunited with Riml in the final arc, he drops the EvilOverlord persona for a moment and just embraces her like a normal father. He even accepts her request to take the civilians who rescued her to safety as well as tearfully lets her go back to join the heroes after seeing how much she's grown as a person. |
| 216 | * PragmaticVillainy: He genuinely believes in the tactical advantage of this trope. He repeatedly offers enemies the chance to negotiate before attacking, doesn't harm non-combatants and tries to be good to the people he takes over. |
| 217 | * ProperlyParanoid: After learning of Luuza's betrayal he starts to think everyone is out to kill him. [[spoiler:It saves his life when he suspects Muisy's urgent "message" is just an excuse to assassinate him.]] |
| 218 | * UriahGambit: How he disposes of [[spoiler:Bishott and Luuza]] after discovering their betrayal. |
| 219 | * VillainWithGoodPublicity: Due to a mixture of being a competent ruler compared to [[TheCaligula King Furaon]] as well as doctoring evidence that the Given family was planning an uprising. |
| 220 | * VillainousBreakdown: Has a minor one when Riml reveals that Luuza has been plotting with Bishott to kill him when the war is over. He manages to retain his dignity in front of his men, but his lip is tellingly shaking as he wonders if he's been a puppet to others this whole time. |
| 221 | * VisionaryVillain: Genuinely believes that Byston Well would be at peace if it was unified into one nation, but his vision involves him as the supreme commander and his conquering though war causes more conflict than it solves. |

| 228 | |
| 229 | The wife of Drake. On the surface she seems a loving spouse who supports her husband, but in reality she is a schemer who goes behind Drake's back by allying with his benefactor King Bishott so they can overthrow Drake and rule Byston Well themselves. |
| 230 | ---- |
| 231 | * AssuranceBackfire: [[spoiler:After realising that their plan had been exposed, Luuza tries to reassure Bishott that Drake won't be able to attack him publicly so long as she is with him.

| 240 | * WouldHarmAChild: When Show tries to rescue Silkie from Drake, Luuza grabs Riml at knifepoint and threatens to kill her unless Show returns Silkie. [[spoiler: She follows through on her threat when she kills Riml by the end of the show.]] |

| 246 | -->''"Defeat followed by defeat, it all began when that man from Upper Earth arrived. I want to win, I want to defeat him! I am the descendant of knights!"'' |
| 247 | |
| 248 | The commander of Drake's army. He leads the conquest for his lord and fights the Zelana crew on many occasions. But after several defeats is dropped from service. He resurfaces as the mysterious "Black Knight" whose sole objective is to defeat Show Zama to restore his honor. |
| 249 | -> '''Pilots:''' Drumlo, Virunvee, Leprechaun, Zwarth, Wryneck, Bubuly, Galava |
| 250 | ---- |
| 251 | * AcePilot: He taught Show how to pilot the Aura Battler and remains a constant threat even when he's piloting experimental machines he's never used before. |
| 252 | * AdvertisedExtra: Not Bern himself, but rather, the Zwarth. Likely due to its association with the SignatureScene where he returns as the Black Knight, Bern is always depicted with the Zwarth in promotional materials, crossovers (in particular, VideoGame/SuperRobotWars) and merchandise - despite the fact that he only uses it thrice in the show before upgrading to superior Aura Machines. |
| 253 | * AntiVillain: He's a BenevolentBoss who cares about his subordinates, respects Show as a WorthyOpponent and is [[UndyingLoyalty completely loyal]] to Drake Luft. However, this aspect of his personality is [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] after Burn becomes Black Knight as he crosses MoralEventHorizon by killing the person who saved his life and his hate for Show consumes him. It's also the aforementioned loyalty that keeps him from any sort of redemption despite his more virtuous traits. |
| 254 | * {{Archenemy}}: Show's throughout the story. |
| 255 | * BattleAura: His is [[PurpleIsPowerful dark purple]]. |
| 256 | * BlatantLies: When Luuza challenges him on why he wears a mask in front of his swore lord, the Black Knight responds that his face becomes terribly ugly and twisted in battle so he keeps a mask on...even though he wasn't in battle right then. Luuza picks up on the evasion but lets it slide. |
| 257 | * BenevolentBoss: Genuinely liked by his subordinates as he is patient, kind and even reprimands another commander who used violence to teach discipline. |
| 258 | * CoolMask: Though it also serves to [[{{Pun}} ''mask'']] his Aura as well as his identity so even Cham can't recognise his Aura. [[spoiler: At least until he goes Hyper.]] |
| 259 | * {{Determinator}}: He's nothing if not determined to kill Show. [[spoiler: So much so that he's the only Battler to ''willingly'' enter Hyper Mode and after Elle sacrifices herself to supress his Aura, he doesn't back down and continues to fight Show until the death.]] |
| 260 | * DiscardAndDraw: Bern goes through more Aura Battlers than anyone else due to being the one who has to test the newest AceCustom every time. Shot even complains that his funds aren't unlimited after Bern wrecks the Leprechaun. |
| 261 | * DudeWheresMyRespect: After being relieved of his position and reduced to Shot's errand boy, he meets Todd during a chance encounter and after begging to tag along, is constantly frustrated by his former subordinate giving him orders. |
| 262 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Frees Marvel from being Bishott's hostage since he didn't want to defeat Show in a dishonorable manner. |
| 263 | * EvilLaugh: After becoming the Black Knight he develops one that signifies it's him piloting. "Fufufu..." |
| 264 | * EvilMentor: He starts out as this to both Show and Todd before they both defected. |
| 265 | * HeroKiller: [[spoiler: Successfully kills Marvel and preforms a MutualKill with Show.]] |
| 266 | * MutualKill: [[spoiler: With Show]] |
| 267 | * PaperThinDisguise: His Black Knight getup does little to hide his identity, but few people ever realise it's him. |
| 268 | ** Although it's implied several people on his own side including Drake himself (who calls out the similiarity of Black Knight swearing his loyalty to Bern giving an almost identical speech earlier in the show but says he won't ask of Black Knights past out of respect) know full well who it is but for honors sake allow him to pretend to be a different person to distance himself from Bern's failures. |
| 269 | * ThePowerOfHate: What his Aura is fuelled by during his time as the Black Knight. Lampshaded by Show in their final duel. |
| 270 | -->'''Show:''' "What have your hands grasped with such hatred!?" |
| 271 | -->'''Bern:''' "Power, and cunning! With it I shall be victorious!" |
| 272 | * RandomlyGifted: While the vast majority of Komons cannot normally utilise their Aura, which is why Drake summoned the Upper-Earthers, Bern is one of the very few exceptions of a Komon who became a natural Aura Battler and when he returns as the Black Knight, his Aura has become so powerful that Show immediately assumes that he must be a new Battler summoned from Upper Earth. |
| 273 | * SayMyName: He has a tendency to do this. [[spoiler:Also his last words.]] |
| 274 | -->'''Bern:''' "SHOW ZAMA!" |
| 275 | * SplitPersonality: He seems to develop this after becoming the Black Knight, as whenever his helmet is forcibly removed he completely changes demeanor - becoming timid to the point of being near mute. It disappears when he finally takes off the helmet of his own volition and returns to his true self. |
| 276 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Drake. [[spoiler:When Shot puts his plan into motion to assassinate Drake and install himself as Supreme Commander, Bern betrays him by informing Drake that Muisy was going to shoot him.]] |
| 277 | ** Although interestingly this is briefly called into question in the second episode of the show where Roman Given tries to bribe Bern into taking his forces and joining his side instead. Bern demands a high price, but seems to geniunely be considering it before he finds out that their conversation was being recorded and Roman was going to instead to try to blackmail him by threatning to play his words to Drake. |
| 278 | * WorthyOpponent: Sees Show as one that only he can beat. To the point when Todd captures the Dunbine, Bern refuses to believe that someone else could beat Show (having been out of the loop on Show's upgrade to the Billbine). |

| 284 | -->''"When you return from a trip to Hell, you learn to be a bit more assertive..."'' |
| 285 | |
| 286 | An air force pilot candidate from Boston who was part of the initial trio summoned to Byston Well. Initially he serves Drake but after a severe loss finds himself waking up from a coma in the Kingdom of Ku and becomes a Battler for Bishott instead. [[spoiler: During the final arc, he joins up with Drake once again after America allies with the Drake forces.]] |
| 287 | -> '''Pilots:''' Dunbine (Black), Drumlo (Black), Vierres, Wryneck |
| 288 | ---- |
| 289 | * AcePilot: Don't let his constant losses to Show fool you, the fact that he can always go toe to toe with the [[AceCustom Billbine]] in a mass produced Aura Machine and had several near victories is a testament to his skill. [[spoiler: By the end of the series, he's the top Aura Battler in Drake's forces.]] |
| 290 | * AntiVillain: Through character development he becomes this. He doesn't ''want'' to do bad things, but he wants to protect his family above all else [[spoiler:and after America allies with Drake he doesn't have much choice but to fight for him]] and hope that by doing so he can end the war as fast as possible. |
| 291 | * BattleAura: His is colored yellow. [[spoiler:[[TurnsRed Except when he goes Hyper and it turns red]].]] |
| 292 | * BettyAndVeronica: The Veronica to Zet's Betty for Garalia's Archie. [[spoiler:His coma at the hands of Show means that Garalia chooses Zet, though by the time Todd wakes up Garalia is deceased anyways.]] |
| 293 | * DeadlyUpgrade: [[spoiler: Shot surmises that the reason why he died in the clash between his and Show's Hyper Modes was that Todd gained immense power at the expense of his Aura Barrier weakening significantly whereas Show absorbing the Aura of his friends allowed him to perfectly balance his Hyper Mode and when the two clashed Todd's machine gave out first.]] |
| 294 | * {{Eagleland}}: Closer to type 2. |
| 295 | * EliteMook: Tends to be given these types of Aura Battlers to test and see which ones are viable for mass production. |
| 296 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Genuinely loves his sickly mother. [[spoiler: She's the last thing he thinks of before he dies.]] |
| 297 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: As a trained military man, Todd is prepared to take lives on the line of duty, but he draws the line at hostage taking as well as killing non-combatants. |
| 298 | * GracefulLoser: In his final battle with Show [[spoiler: as he's receiving the fatal blow]]. |
| 299 | -->'''Todd:''' Show, thanks to you I saw a really good dream. |
| 300 | -->'''Show:''' (Crying) What's "good" about any of ''this'', Todd! |
| 301 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Starts out as this as he derogatorily refers to Show with a racial slur and is dismissive of Garalia being a soldier due to her being a woman. After Show hands him multiple defeats he grows to respect him and holds him in high regard, as well as [[CommonalityConnection bonding with Garalia after realising they're not that different]] to which they join together and fight Show as a pair for a while. |
| 302 | * PowerCopying: What makes Todd particularly dangerous is while he doesn't have the strongest Aura, he can learn very quickly by observing others such as when he successfully copied Show's [[FlashStep Off-Shoot]] ability after only seeing it once. |
| 303 | * PunchClockVillain: He's willing to pull an occasional EnemyMine with Show, shared his food with a disgraced Bern despite him technically being an enemy at that point and allowed him to tag along on the mission to rescue Riml. Biggest of all was during the final arc [[spoiler: when everyone is thrown into Upper Earth, Todd acts as a representative of Drake to negotiate with America rather than conquering it through force.]] |
| 304 | * PutOnABus: After the second trio of Upper Earthers are summoned by Drake, Todd tries to attack the Zelana alone to prove himself but his loss puts him in a coma for about a dozen episodes. |
| 305 | * TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Todd saves Show from being killed by a Lizard Direbeast so they could continue their duel and even attacks his fellow allies if they try to interfere in his fights with Show. |
| 306 | * TheRival: When quizzed as to his relationship with Show by El Fino, Todd can't of any other way to describe it than "he's a good rival". |
| 307 | * TragicVillain: Todd means well enough, but has the misfortune of making many poor decisions. When the armies are sent to Upper Earth he finally finds a cause worth fighting for, believing if he can defeat Shō, Drake will not attack America, and thus he can protect his mother. This ends up costing him his life. |
| 308 | * TookALevelInBadass: After recovering from his coma his competence skyrockets and he becomes a genuine threat to the Zelana crew in battle, often requiring both Show and Marvel working together to defeat him. |
| 309 | * VillainousUnderdog: He often comes across as this, usually taking on the Zelana crew with lesser numbers (sometimes completely alone), his Aura powers aren't as strong as Show's or Bern's and he never gets an AceCustom. Yet despite this he never gives up and is more of a threat from his sheer determination to win rather than having overwhelming firepower. |
| 310 | * WorfHadTheFlu: The one time he actually beats Show it ends up giving him a reason to swap to the superior Billbine that comes in to rescue the Dunbine as it falls out of the sky. |

| 320 | * BettyAndVeronica: The Archie to Zet's Betty and Todd's Veronica. She chooses Zet. |

| 322 | * ParentalAbandonment: |
| 323 | * PinkMeansFeminine: Her bright pink Bastole stands out compared to the more muted colors of most other Aura Battlers. |
| 324 | * SheCleansUpNicely: As Todd is very pleased to find out. |
| 325 | * SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:In the [=PS1=] game, it's possible to befriend Garalia and convince her to avoid her fate and join you instead, though she wears a mask and goes by the codename - "Valkyrja".]] |
| 326 | * StayInTheKitchen: She suffers this from the rank and file soldiers, but both Bern and Drake seem to have no problem with her being a woman. |
| 327 | * TrappedInAnotherWorld: [[spoiler:Suffers this when she and Show are blasted all the way to Tokyo.]] |
| 328 | * VasquezAlwaysDies: [[spoiler:The least feminine of the female Battlers and thus the first to die, noticeably quite some time before the second death of a female Battler.]] |

| 334 | |
| 335 | An indie musician from Dublin, Jeryl is part of the second trio of people summoned to Byston Well by Drake after losing both Show and Tokamk. Jeryl is temperamental and vindictive, serving to act as a mirror to emphasise what Show would have become if he continued to serve under Drake. |
| 336 | -> '''Pilots:''' Drumlo, Virunvee, Leprechaun |
| 337 | ---- |
| 338 | * {{Archenemy}}: She could be considered one to Elle as she causes the death of multiple of Elle's family members. [[spoiler:Jeryl even meets her death when she tries to launch an attack on Elle's ship.]] |
| 339 | * BastardBastard: It's implied that her bad relationship with her mother is due to being the daughter of a prostitute. |
| 340 | * BloodKnight: |
| 341 | * DeadlyUpgrade: [[spoiler: The first person to achieve Hyper Mode and serves to demonstrate how deadly it can be, both to your opponents and oneself if you lose control of your Aura.]] |
| 342 | * EvilRedhead |
| 343 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: Her lack of control over her Hyper Mode causes her Leprechaun to start breaking apart under the pressure and exposes her cockpit which allows Show to score a fatal hit and kill her.]] |
| 344 | * ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler: Upon returning to Upper-Earth, she gets into contact with the local government and convinces them that Nie's resistance group are the bad guys and she is the reincarnation of Jeanne D'Arc.]] |
| 345 | * MindManipulation: Elle suggests that her Aura had become so twisted that she was able to bend the minds of [[spoiler: the Upper-Earthers]] to believe her story about being a good person. |
| 346 | * PsychoForHire: Not entirely stable and all too willing to fight the resistance for Drake. |
| 347 | * SanitySlippage: She was never quite all there to begin with, but after [[spoiler:returning to Upper-Earth]] she begins to believe her own claims about being the reincarnation of Jeanne D'Arc and being the chosen one to win the war. |

| 354 | -> '''Pilots:''' Drumlo, Virunvee |
| 355 | ---- |
| 356 | * BloodKnight: As shown in the above quote, he compares war to enjoying video games. |
| 357 | * {{Eagleland}}: A type 2 same as Todd. |
| 358 | * {{Retirony}}: [[spoiler: Thinking that everything will be over once they defeat King Foizon, Allen asks Jeryl out on a date if they both live. He dies the same episode at the hands of the Billbine.]] |
| 359 | * {{ShadowArchetype}}: Of Todd pre-character development. It's rather noticeable once Todd returns from his PutOnABus status and the two finally meet that Allen represents everything Todd could have been if he didn't recognise his flaws and descended into full blown villainy. |
| 360 | * UnknownRival: Isn't aware of Todd's animosity towards him. Ironically it flips during their final encounter as Todd barely remembers who he is whilst Allen is resentful that Todd rose to become the top Battler under Bishott whereas he was considered the weakest of all the Upper-Earthers. |
| 361 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: He was last seen bailing out of his Virunvee as it was exploding over the ocean but doesn't ever appear again. [[WordOfGod Tomino]] stated that he did indeed die in that explosion.]] |

| 369 | ---- |
| 370 | %%Doesn't explain what the reaction is. * BerserkButton: He goes completely berserk when Show (who is Japanese) talks about peace. It's not outright stated but it's implied that his reaction was due to growing up in the aftermath of World War II. |
| 371 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: He goes against Muisy's orders to be a simple decoy and goes after to kill Show. He ends up being killed by his own grenade after Show knocks it back in his face.]] |

| 378 | An engineer from California who upon coming to Byston Well allies with Drake and together with Zet creates the Aura Battlers in order to unify all of Byston Well under his new lord. Unbeknownst to others, Shot secretly harbors the desire to rule himself and manipulates several factions throughout the story. |
| 379 | -> '''Commands:''' Spriggan |
| 380 | ---- |
| 381 | * AllTakeAndNoGive: The extent of his relationship with Zet. Due to the latter's meekness, Shot was able to take all the credit for creating the Aura Machines and lives luxuriously in Drake's castle despite the bulk of the work being Zet's who lives in the soldiers' barracks. Even though Shot managed to create the strongest Aura Machine - the Bubuly, it was only after requesting to see the schematics for Zet's own greatest creation and building off the back of it. |
| 382 | * CoolShip: His personally designed Aura Cruiser - the Spriggan. |
| 383 | * GreaterScopeVillain: He can be considered one for both ''Dunbine'' and ''New Story'' [[spoiler:thanks to his presence in both.]] Crossover works like VideoGame/SuperRobotWars go one step further and make him one to the ''entire'' Byston Well meta-verse as a whole. |
| 384 | * JackOfAllStats: The Spriggan lacks the firepower of all the other battleships but makes up for it with its small size and agility being able to outmanoeuvre even the Zelana. |
| 385 | * LaughingMad: [[spoiler: Upon realising he has returned to Upper Earth with enough Aura Machines to conquer it.]] |
| 386 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: Perhaps out of spite for how he was treated, Zet doesn't inform Shot of the true nature of the machines' hidden Aura Barrier function leaving Shot to be one of the last people to discover its true significance. |
| 387 | * MadScientist: Developed the Aura Machines with little regard as to the chaos it would bring to Byston Well. |
| 388 | * ManipulativeBastard: Creates several secret Aura Machines, hires Bern to be his personal soldier after being dismissed by Drake and encourages Bishott's treachery of Drake to name a few of his schemes. |
| 389 | * NoodleIncident: The history behind his family's deportation to Australia and subsequent forced labor. |

| 397 | -> '''Pilots:''' Virunvee, Zwarth, Wryneck, Bubuly, |
| 398 | ---- |
| 399 | * BlatantLies: [[spoiler:Telling Drake that her assassination plot was completely her idea and Shot knew nothing. Drake doesn't buy it.]] |
| 400 | * ChekhovsGunman: Appears very early on as a simple music teacher that tries to stand up to Luuza's abusive behaviour. By the end of the anime she's one of the last standing Battlers and is a serious threat. |
| 401 | * ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Tends to repaint her Aura Machines in a white color scheme. |
| 402 | * DoubleAgent: Officially she works for Drake, but her true loyalties lie with Shot. |
| 403 | * HeroKiller: [[spoiler:Kills Keen in the confusion as the Zelana crew were attacking Drake's battleship in the penultimate episode.]] |
| 404 | * SelfMadeOrphan: Rather tragically, her family tries to assist her in her first fight against Show but [[spoiler:her defeat and loss of control over her Aura Battler causes her to land on and crush her father.]] |
| 405 | * {{ShadowArchetype}}: She can be considered one to Keen as they were both women who followed the man they loved into becoming soldiers, both killed [[spoiler:their fathers]] inadvertently and both [[spoiler died protecting their loved one]]. But whilst Keen grows beyond just her crush and learns to fight for righteousness and ending the war, Muisy is consumed by her obsession with Shot and causes more death and destruction because of it. |
| 406 | * TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:Unsuccessfully tries to do this by putting her Bubuly in between the Spriggan and Show/Marvel's Double Aura Strike. It ends with both her and Shot dying in the resulting explosion.]] |

Upon [[spoiler: returning to Upper Earth]] he by chance meets the Black Knight and together they become a pair of wandering mercenaries. |
| 416 | -> '''Pilots:''' Bastole, Virunvee, Bubuly, Vierres, Galava |
| 417 | ---- |
| 418 | * BecomingTheMask: Shot tells him to start a relationship with Garalia in order to manipulate her, but he genuinely falls in love with her. |
| 419 | * BoringButPractical: His design philosophy in comparison to Shot who prioritises power and complexity. All of Zet's solo creations are simple, easy to use and readily mass producible. Even when becoming a pilot himself, he favors taking older generations of Aura Battlers and making adjustments to allow them to compete with later models whilst saving resources to gradually complete his ultimate creation - the Galava. |
| 420 | * TheBrute: Due to his lack of training as a soldier he comes across as this in battle. |
| 421 | * ChekhovsGunman: Appears as early as the first episode as just an unnamed mechanic in Shot's workshop. His true significance doesn't start to appear until the halfway mark. |
| 422 | * DrivenByEnvy: His increasing envy of Shot over the series causes him to take further rash actions such as becoming a soldier to gain some form of glory for himself. |
| 423 | * ExtremeDoormat: Bern accuses him of this as despite the bulk of the Aura Machines being his invention, his meekness allowed Shot to take all the credit and stay in the castle with Drake whilst Zet lives as a pauper. |
| 424 | * HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler: Courtesy of Show unlocking Hyper Mode for the first time.]] |
| 425 | * KarmaHoudini: Sort of. [[spoiler: Despite being equally responsible for the creation of the Aura Machines, Zet did not receive Shot's [[WhoWantsToLiveForever punishment]] in the OVA sequel. It's likely that joining the front lines and dying before the Purification Ritual spared him from sharing Shot's fate.]] |
| 426 | * TheLostLenore: [[spoiler: Mourns Garalia's death and even pilots her Bastole for a while.]] |
| 427 | * MadScientist: Although he lacks the malice Shot has so just comes off as amoral about introducing war machines to an otherwise peaceful world. |
| 428 | * OddFriendship: After rescuing a stranded Bern, the two strike up a camaraderie whereas before they barely acknowledged each other. Bern even trusted Zet to the point of removing his helmet when the two were alone. |
| 429 | * TheRival: Becomes one for Shot as he competes to create better Aura Machines for Bishott that will give him an advantage over Drake. |
| 430 | * StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Upon [[spoiler:returning to Earth]], he has the exact same idea as Shot to take it over with the Aura Machines. But unlike Shot, his lack of ruthlessness means he never acts upon the idea. |
| 431 | * ThoseTwoGuys: Almost exclusively seen with Shot and always mentioned as a pair when Aura Machines are being discussed. By the second half of the story he instead forms this with the Black Knight. |
| 432 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: Because of his nature as a mechanic, the Zelana crew don't take him very seriously initially but he passed through the Aura Road like the other Battlers and so his Aura continuously increases to the point where [[spoiler:he is the one to force Show to go Hyper for the first time.]] |
