| 8 | |
| 9 | The main protagonist, he finds himself thrust into the conflict with the Secrets after a run in with Gazelle leads him to the Nirvash. From there he begins piloting it to save his island home. Pilots [=RA272=] ''Nirvash'', called the Nirvash Mark I in series. |
| 10 | ---- |
| 11 | * AcePilot: Considered one. |
| 12 | * AttractiveBentGender: In the OVA. |
| 13 | * BadLiar: His attempt at lying to Fleur was laughable. |
| 14 | * BadassAdorable: Runs in the family. |
| 15 | * BrokenAce: Kicks himself for not being strong enough to save Naru. [[spoiler:And he's not taking it well being the owner of the Quartz Gun.]] |
| 16 | * ChildhoodFriends: With Naru. |
| 17 | * {{Determinator}} |
| 18 | * ElementalPunch: The Nirvash's hands can retract, revealing tasers which add power to its punches. |
| 19 | * ExoticEyeDesigns: Purple iris with a red ring, like his mother. They grant him the ability to see beyond the visual spectrum; specifically, the ability to see trapar. |
| 20 | * FallingIntoTheCockpit |
| 21 | * FantasticRacism: The victim of it, especially after his hair turns colors. |
| 22 | * GenerationXerox: Just like his father, Ao begins the series living alone with his grandfather. His mother vanished when he was young, just like Renton's older sister Diane[[labelnote:*]]In fact, the scene where Eureka leaves is practically a CallBack to Diane leaving.[[/labelnote]], and they're both outsiders in their respective hometowns. |
| 23 | * HalfHumanHybrid: Half-human, half-Coralian. The latter seems to be the dominant side as far as physical characteristics are concerned. |
| 24 | * HeroicBSOD: Goes through one in episode 10, but gets over it before the end of the episode. |
| 25 | * HeroicLineage: Piloting seems to be a skill he inherited from his parents. His ability to "see the wind" is inherited from his mother. |
| 26 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: Goes through this sometimes. |
| 27 | * IThoughtEveryoneCouldDoThat: His ability to "see the wind", which is actually the ability to see trapar. He's surprised to learn other people can't see it, and it becomes a problem when he's in space (where there is close to no trapar). |
| 28 | * InstantExpert: Ao learned to pilot an FP at an improbably young age (Gazelle even comments on it), and picks up IFO piloting on the fly (literally). Having inherited his mother's ability to see trapar, he can ride the wind with far more skill than any human could ever manage. Subverted later on; though Ao is a decent pilot, that represents the whole of his experience in the matter. The more technical aspects of the Nirvash elude him. It takes him a while to figure out how to deploy the weapons (other than the head-mounted machine guns), and Fleur has to teach him how to use the radio. Fleur won't let him live this down. When she gets stuck at his house during a lockdown, she claims he wouldn't have been able to answer the phone without her. |
| 29 | * KidFromTheFuture: Inversion; due to TimeTravel, Eureka runs into Ao before she gives birth to him. To some extent he is also a ''literal'' example. |
| 30 | * KidHero: Ao is only 13. |
| 31 | * LightningBruiser: The Nirvash doesn't have much long-range firepower, but it is very fast and can do a lot of damage up close. |
| 32 | * LikeBrotherAndSister: Feels this way about Naru. |
| 33 | * LikeParentLikeChild: Ao inherited traits from both of his parents. |
| 34 | ** Like Renton, he is upfront and determined, and his unwillingness to give up; also like his father, Ao is shy around girls, but to lesser extent than Renton had been. According to Eureka, Ao is just as honest as Renton is. |
| 35 | ** Like Eureka, he is blunt but a bit weary around certain people and suffers from identity crisis, although to less extent than Eureka did. |
| 36 | * LockedIntoStrangeness: His hair is brown until he activates the Nirvash, which changes it to turquoise. |
| 37 | * MeaningfulName: "''Fukai ao''" translates to "deep blue". |
| 38 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When he [[spoiler:inadvertently alters history to prevent the formation of Team Goldilocks. He thinks they were actually {{Ret Gone}}d but is relieved to find that wasn't the case.]] |
| 39 | * NiceGuy: Ao is a brave, modest, and empathetic boy who is willing to do anything to protect his friends and family. |
| 40 | * ObliviousToLove |
| 41 | * OnlySaneMan: At times. |
| 42 | * ParadoxPerson: [[spoiler:End of series.]] |
| 43 | * ParentalAbandonment: Renton couldn't follow, for whatever reason, and Eureka disappeared when he was two. Ao at least acknowledges his father's absence, and plans to "give him a good beating" when he meets him. The events of episode 13 suggest Eureka never told him about Renton, given he doesn't even know his father's name until that point. |
| 44 | ** Prior to the start of the series, Ao had assumed that his father abandoned him and his mother. |
| 45 | * PsychicDreamsForEveryone: Episode 7, though that was arguably a result of Truth, not any innate ability of Ao. |
| 46 | * RaisedByGrandparents: Dr. Toshio Fukai is his honorary (and maybe even legal) grandfather, after presumably adopting Eureka. |
| 47 | * RetGone: Possibly; [[spoiler: while Ao himself still exists, he may have created a world where he was never born.]] |
| 48 | * RippleEffectProofMemory: He can remember changes in the timeline, presumably because [[spoiler:he caused them by firing his WaveMotionGun]]. |
| 49 | * SecretLegacy |
| 50 | * SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: To Naru. It even comes up when he's not around. When Elena calls her such in episode 22, Fleur pops up on the video link just to say that Naru's not his girlfriend. |
| 51 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: He looks a lot like his mother (if you made her male), with a bit of Renton thrown in (which is more apparent when he had brown hair). This is particularly noticeable in the OVA, where Elena and Fleur force him to dress like his mother (specifically the outfit she wore in the previous series) for over half the episode. |
| 52 | * TomatoInTheMirror: "Am I really an alien?" He doesn't take it that badly, however. |
| 53 | * UnskilledButStrong: He hasn't been formally trained, but he's a top-notch pilot regardless. |
| 54 | * UnstuckInTime: End of the series. [[spoiler:He gets out of it.]] |
| 55 | * WholesomeCrossdresser: He's forced to crossdress as his mother, Eureka, in the OVA. He possesses a startling resemblance to her when dressed up this way and inadvertently shoots to the top of the idol charts without even trying to act like a girl. |
| 56 | * WideEyedIdealist: Which causes him to clash with the rest of Génération Bleu. |
| 57 | * WingedHumanoid: Ao ponders if he can do this in episode 16, since his mother can and he has her blood. [[spoiler: It doesn't happen]] |

| 60 | [[folder:Naru Arata]] |
| 61 | [[quoteright:136:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arata_naru.jpg]] |
| 62 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanakoMiyamoto (Japanese), Creator/LindsaySeidel (English) |
| 63 | |
| 64 | Ao's childhood friend, a daughter of one of the island's prominent families. She was one of the survivors of the first Scub Burst that happened soon after Eureka appeared on the island, and which killed her mother and left her an ill girl. All this has earned Eureka and Ao the hatred of her father. As of episode 14 she pilots Eureka's Nirvash [=typeZERO spec2=]. |
| 65 | ---- |
| 66 | * AdaptationalHeroism: She [[spoiler: actually ''does'' make a HeelFaceTurn in the manga, joining Ao against Truth and becoming good friends with Fleur and Elena.]] |
| 67 | * BaitTheDog: [[spoiler:In Episode 22, it looks like she's making a HeelFaceTurn. Episode 23 comes around...nnnnope!]] |
| 68 | * BarefootSage: Once she joins the Truth and becomes a sort of messianic figure in question to the Scubs, she ditches shoes completely and goes barefoot everywhere, emphasizing her newfound connection with the Scub. This is never really pointed out, not even by her own parents. Somewhat justified in that as an Okinawan, it's not that unusual to be so casual about going barefoot. |
| 69 | * BigDamnHeroes: She uses the Scub to protect Ao from Truth, teleporting him to Okinawa. |
| 70 | * ChildhoodFriendRomance: What she's aiming for with [[ObliviousToLove Ao]]. |
| 71 | * ChildhoodFriends: With Ao. |
| 72 | * DecoyProtagonist: The opening makes her look like a main character. She gets downgraded considerably by episode 5, when the island ceases to be the primary setting. Even when she regains some importance later, her appearances are erratic at best. |
| 73 | * DelicateAndSickly: The Scub Burst left her in need of periodic oxygen therapy, and she always carries a portable inhalator with her. Later it turns out that trapar rich air is much more effective. |
| 74 | * EnigmaticMinion: Amazingly, Naru becomes this to Truth in a somewhat HighHeelFaceTurn manner, in which everything she does benefits Ao. |
| 75 | * {{Expy}}: To Anemone. She has an illness, a Gulliver-esque pet, and she pilots the other Nirvash for the antagonists. |
| 76 | * EvilCostumeSwitch: Of sorts. |
| 77 | * EvilIsNotAToy: [[spoiler:She tries to merge Truth with the Scub to use his power to further her agenda. It doesn't seem to occur to her that he's a goddamn psychopath who's been actively trying to destroy it for pretty much the entire series. This goes about as well as you'd expect.]] |
| 78 | * FaceHeelTurn: Though she still believes she's doing the right thing, which pushes it closer to WellIntentionedExtremist. |
| 79 | * {{Flight}}: Only in a dream sequence, though. Episode 22 implies that she ''could'' fly under the right conditions (namely, a trapar-rich atmosphere) but can't for the moment. |
| 80 | * ForeheadOfDoom: Because of the way her hair naturally parts to the sides, Naru has an incredibly prominent forehead. |
| 81 | * HairColorDissonance: Starting from episode 14 her hair begins looking purplish. |
| 82 | * HiddenAgendaVillain: It takes some time before she reveals her true motivation. |
| 83 | * GreenThumb: After being absorbed into the Scub in episode 12 and seeing the origin of the Scub, she gains the ability to control both Scub and regular coral, with which the Scub merged to survived. |
| 84 | ** Although to be scientifically accurate, corals are animals, not plants. |
| 85 | * IOweYouMyLife: She goes with Truth is because she believes he was the giant that rescued her from the Scub Burst. Her personal flashbacks seem to be a slight example of SelfServingMemory (or Truth's manipulation), since a non-POV flashback of the event is much more vague. |
| 86 | * InstantExpert: She is suddenly able to fly an IFO in episode 14. There's no evidence to suggest she's ever driven ''anything'' in her life, given how Ao's ability to fly a FP is explicitly treated as abnormal. This may be explained by her Scub Coral infection and the Nirvash being alive, which together might let her fly it without the needed skill. |
| 87 | * MagicSkirt: Her gown after episode 14. Given how wide it is at the base, so much as a gust should send it flying up, but it stays down. Good thing, too, since one of her appearances in Ao's dreams suggests [[VaporWear she isn't wearing anything beneath it]]. |
| 88 | * MasterOfTheMixedMessage: She gets mad at Ao for thinking she's in love with Truth. Because it's not like she spent more than half the series following him around or anything. Then, in episode 23, [[spoiler:after last episode set up what looked like a HeelFaceTurn, she does a complete 180, attacks all of Team Pied Piper because she doesn't think they can win, then runs off with Truth ''again'']]. |
| 89 | * MissingMom: Died in the Scub Burst which left Naru ill. It vaporized her. |
| 90 | * MoralMyopia: In episode 12, she thanks Truth for his kindness, and shortly after the camera cuts to the rubble of the trapar mine he destroyed and the dead bodies of the workers. |
| 91 | * NewAgeRetroHippie: The basic gist of her wardrobe change after she is absorbed by the Scub and her first outfit dissolves. It is a simple gown with animal-like antler clips, and no shoes. Naru's attitude also changes to a more holistic mindset. |
| 92 | * PortalNetwork: She can teleport herself and other objects from one Scub to another. |
| 93 | * PsychicDreamsForEveryone: She can see Ao's battles as they happen if she passes out or faints. |
| 94 | * PsychicPowers: She's a bit of a seer, and often sees Ao's battles in her dreams. [[spoiler: By Episode 22, she can sense Ao fighting Truth in real time and uses it to save him.]] |
| 95 | * TouchedByVorlons: There's Scub Coral growing inside her, presumably due to being caught in the Scub Burst ten years ago. X-rays show it's covered most of her major organs by episode 14. |
| 96 | * TranshumanTreachery: To an extent. She is willing to share. |
| 97 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Naru is actually trying to improve humanity by ensuring they have symbiosis with the Scub Coral. She simply isn't bothering to ''ask'' if that's what people want, much like the Scub did when they arrived in the proper timeline, and they at least had the excuse of being entirely ignorant of humanity's resistance. |
| 98 | * WildCard |

| 101 | !Génération Bleu |
| 102 | Génération Bleu is a multinational organization funded by the [[UnitedNationsIsASuperpower UN]] to deal with Scub Bursts and the Secrets which appear with them. Though UN subordinates on paper, they operate as [[PrivateMilitaryContractors mercenaries]] in practice, [[HiredGuns offering their services for a price]]. |
| 103 | |
| 104 | !!Team Pied Piper |
| 105 | One of the Génération Bleu rapid response teams. They operate from the ''[[CoolShip Triton]]''. |
| 106 | |
| 107 | [[folder:Ivica Tanović]] |
| 108 | [[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/164201.jpg]] |
| 109 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Tetsuo Goto (Japanese), Creator/JohnSwasey (English) |
| 110 | |
| 111 | ''Triton'''s owner-captain and the team leader. A very tall and powerful man in his forties, he's an arguably ''both'' a ReasonableAuthorityFigure ''and'' a BunnyEarsLawyer, being a skilled leader and sly negotiator, but also highly eccentric, like, actually, most of his team. |
| 112 | ---- |
| 113 | * TheAtoner: The reason he joined Génération Bleu was to repent for his sins when he was a soldier. |
| 114 | * BigGood: He has this role after episode 20, since just about everyone else higher up than him is dead, turned traitor, or abandoned ship. |
| 115 | * TheBigGuy: Generally ''two'' heads taller than most of the Iwato Jima's grown men. Unusually enough a trope that has basis in reality - Serbs/Croats (he could be either of the two very closely related nationalities) are well known for their above-average height. |
| 116 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: He's a very competent leader, but he's also highly unconventional and unpredictable, and periodically has a ''really'' weird moments. Like when he refused to pick up a phone, justifying it by the fact that his coffee mug is ''too full''. |
| 117 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: He was a soldier during a Balkan war (probably the UsefulNotes/YugoslavWars) that resulted in the death of his family and the dissolution of his own country (which would mean he is an ex-JNA (Yugoslav People's Army) soldier that likely fought on the Serbian side in the conflict). Previous to that, his soldiering is how he knows Eureka; he was part of an apparently multinational team of soldiers to help Eureka stop a Secret. |
| 118 | * LargeAndInCharge |
| 119 | * LanternJawOfJustice |
| 120 | * PapaWolf: In his own words, "I won't let children die." Letting them pilot [=IFOs=] is a necessary evil, since adults can't, but if push comes to shove he's willing to give his own life to protect them. |
| 121 | * RefusalOfTheCall: He was offered a position in Génération Bleu right after the disappearance of Eureka, but turned it down since he had troubles in his own country to deal with. Thanks to the events noted above, he eventually comes to accept the offer. |
| 122 | * ScaryShinyGlasses: As a ''negotiation technique''. |
| 123 | * TeamDad |

| 127 | [[quoteright:202:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_m0ytkdmbiz1qbvfnr.jpg]] |
| 128 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChieNakamura (Japanese), Creator/JamieMarchi (English) |
| 129 | |
| 130 | Ivica's permanently harried [[NumberTwo second-in-command]], being an [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]] in a team of {{Bunny Ears Lawyer}}s. Sometimes they push her ''too'' hard. |
| 131 | ---- |
| 132 | * AggressiveNegotiations: She's willing to pull out a gun if she has to make a deal. |
| 133 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: She was a member of an American PR company that is the mother company of Génération Bleu. During a civil war in the Balkan Peninsula she and the company faked claims of genocide so that other countries wouldn't intervene in the conflict - though Rebecka says there was [[GreyAndGreyMorality no good or evil in that conflict]]. The result led to the dissolution of Ivica's home country. |
| 134 | * DrillSergeantNasty: She's a bit of a martinet, and prefers simpler and harsher decisions in difficult situations. |
| 135 | * DudeWheresMyRespect: She ''always'' gets saddled with whatever task the other team members don't want to do. |
| 136 | * FieryRedhead: When she gets pushed too far. |
| 137 | * ImprobableAge: Rebecka seems to be in her late twenties or early thirties ''at best'', which is probably too young for her job. |
| 138 | * OnlySaneWoman: And exasperated with the insanity that surrounds her. |
| 139 | * ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Often has to bend the rules in the face of bureaucrats trying to manipulate life-or-death situations for their own benefits. [[spoiler:This culminates in her cutting ties with Big Blue World in episode 20 to help Team Pied Piper.]] |

| 144 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChiakiOmigawa (Japanese), Creator/JadSaxton (English) |
| 145 | |
| 146 | One of the team's [[HumongousMecha IFO]] pilots, an eccentric Otaku girl who is a practically JustForFun/OneOfUs. However, there are hints that she is more than she seems. Pilots the [=RA304=] ''Kyrie'', and later [[spoiler:takes the [=RA302=] ''Credo'']]. In episode 21, it's revealed that her real name is [[spoiler:Ellen Brooks, and she's actually from 1981, having been brought forward by Eureka to save her life]]. |
| 147 | ---- |
| 148 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: [[spoiler: It's eventually explained that she was brought to the future from a Scub Burst in the Caribbean Sea.]] |
| 149 | * BerserkButton: |
| 150 | ** She starts freaking out when Eureka's around, to the point where she charges after Eureka when she tries to return home. [[spoiler:This is because Eureka took her from her own timeline to save her. In doing so, Elena saw images of Eureka's world and wanted to go there.]] |
| 151 | ** She also freaks out in episode 18 when Ao leaves. This is because she believes Ao can get her back home. |
| 152 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: She outright admits to murdering Miller Joe in episode 18. |
| 153 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: When she was temporarily arrested by the Okinawan Defense Forces, Rebecka finds her doing karaoke dressed as Miku Hatsune. |
| 154 | ** She ''shot a missile'' by Fleur just to make her squeal uncharacteristically. |
| 155 | * ChekhovsSkill: Her ability with costuming and makeup. |
| 156 | * ChildSoldiers: Like every other [=IFO=] pilot. |
| 157 | * ConvenientlyAnOrphan: Episode 11 shows that she was raised in a facility that was researching children who could pilot [=IFOs=]. But see MysteriousPast. |
| 158 | * CosplayOtakuGirl: She dresses up as a CaptainErsatz of [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Miku Hatsune]]. |
| 159 | * DeadPersonImpersonation: There is an Elena Peoples, but she's a little girl who died during a Scub Burst. This Elena is just using the name. Then there's her impersonation of Miller Joe, whom she ''killed''. |
| 160 | * DoubleAgent: |
| 161 | ** By impersonating Miller Joe she has been feeding data to the Americans. The problem is that she's feeding ''correct'' data, and seems to be doing it on her own initiative rather than Génération Bleu's. She gave it up not long after it was revealed, but it was going on for several months at least. |
| 162 | * EvilCostumeSwitch: Puts on [[CoolMask a mask]] when she defects to the Allied Forces. {{Lampshaded}} by Harlequin. |
| 163 | * GatlingGood: ''Kyrie'' has two of them. |
| 164 | * GraspTheSun: A scene in episode 18 has her doing this underwater. It turns out she's in Fleur's bathtub. |
| 165 | * HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Due to [[spoiler: thinking she's]] an outsider in this world she doesn't feel any strong attachment to any side and thus switches sides easily, like in episode 20, when she offers to defect to the Americans. [[spoiler: Ao manages to calm her down and get her back on his side.]] |
| 166 | * HiddenDepths: "Elena Peoples" is a false identity she took from another person. It's implied she takes on other identities because she doesn't know who she really is. She also has some sort of association with Eureka. [[BerserkButton It isn't amicable... at least, not anymore.]] |
| 167 | * IJustWantToBeSpecial: Suggested in episode 21. [[spoiler:She's not actually from the original timeline, and it's hinted that she knows this, but having seen a world where a couple carved their names on the ''moon'', she desperately wanted to be a part of it.]] |
| 168 | * IdolSinger: Good enough to take over for an actual one with no one noticing for months. |
| 169 | * MacrossMissileMassacre: For when Gatling Good is not good enough. |
| 170 | * MasterOfDisguise: Has been impersonating Miller Joe, who was a spy for the Americans before Elena killed her. The disguise isn't perfect, though; upon realizing that something seems amiss, they quickly identify a slight vocal difference, and her facial structure isn't close enough to fool recognition software. |
| 171 | * MightyGlacier: ''Kyrie'' is a fire support platform that can unleash a ridiculous [[MoreDakka volume of fire]], but is most effective when it isn't moving. |
| 172 | * MsFanservice: In episode 17, she and Fleur have to wear revealing outfits for a photo shoot. Fleur is embarrassed, but Elena just goes with it. And that's not even getting into the numerous times she's been seen in the shower. |
| 173 | * MysteriousPast: Episode 11 raises a ton of questions about her origins, which even she is apparently unclear about. She reveals in episode 19 that she is from the original timeline, and that Eureka brought her to this one for some reason. [[spoiler:Eureka reveals the truth in episode 21; while she ''saw'' images of the original timeline, she is not from it. Eureka picked her up in a Scub Burst and dropped her back off forty years later to save her.]] |
| 174 | * OccidentalOtaku: [[AllThereInTheManual According to Newtype magazine]], she's American. [[LyingCreator That's her cover story]], at any rate. [[spoiler: She was brought to the future because of a Scub Burst in the Caribbean Sea, so she presumably comes from there.]] |
| 175 | * OtakuSurrogate: Half of what she says and does seems to be anime references. She even oversees the script for Pied Piper's licensed anime! Also {{Deconstructed}}. Elena says she doesn't even like manga that much, [[GenreSavvy she just finds that her life is ''a lot'' like one.]] |
| 176 | * RedHerring: [[spoiler: There were a lot of hints that she was from the original series timeline. There was even a potential explanation with the reveal that [[ThereIsAnother Ao may have a sister somewhere]]. She's not related to Ao, nor is she from the original series timeline; she just caught a glimpse of it while time traveling.]] |
| 177 | * ShipperOnDeck: In episode 8, she ships Ao and Fleur to an exaggerated extent. When Ao takes off in anger and Fleur chases after him, she assumes they're eloping. |
| 178 | * UnusualEars: Her helmet has cat ears. |

| 186 | ---- |

| 189 | %%* ChildSoldiers |
| 190 | * EnemyScan: ''Alleluia'' can scan the Secrets, determining their detection radius, weak points, etc. |
| 191 | * FragileSpeedster: ''Alleluia'' is very quick and agile, but its armor isn't worth a damn, as it was designed primarily as a EAW/EW platform. It plays the role of spotter for ''Kyrie''. |
| 192 | * GreenEyedMonster: She doesn't like the effect Eureka has on Ao. |
| 193 | * ImprobableAge: [[spoiler:Becomes the president of Génération Bleu after her father sacrifices himself.]] |
| 194 | %%* InnocentBlueEyes |
| 195 | * MissingMom: She died in a car accident. Specifically, both she and Fleur were in that accident, and the doctors could only save one by taking organs from the other. Fleur was the recipient, apparently on her father's suggestion. |
| 196 | * TheRival: Sees herself as such to Ao. That said, she is [[FriendlyRivalry pretty friendly]] to him, especially when they start to bond over their mutual dislike of their fathers. |
| 197 | * ScarsAreForever: Still has her scar from the operation that saved her life and killed her mom. |
| 198 | * SelfMadeOrphan: She appears to kill her father in episode 19. Except she hasn't really killed him, [[spoiler:but instead shot Truth]], who was impersonating him. He [[OutOfCharacterAlert blew his cover when he tried to convince her to abandon her friends]]. The real Christophe is not so inattentive that he would think Fleur capable of such an action. |
| 199 | * SurvivorGuilt: She hates the fact that her mother's organs were used to save her life. She took her piloting job precisely because it's something of a slap in the face to that (she believes her father made the choice, hence she's getting back at him for it). |

The team (though not its members) [[RetGone ceases to exist]] in episode 16, after AO wipes out the Secret army with his new WaveMotionGun and as a consequence prevents the Norwegian Scub Coral from ever appearing. This in turn causes the [=McCaffrey=] family to never move to the Coral Plant established there, so they continue to live as ordinary bakers.

Bruno didn't actually write the report, but the handwritten note is his. |

| 328 | * BenevolentBoss: Ostensibly. He gave Gazelle and his friends a job on the grounds that they deserved a chance. The fact that they had discovered classified information about the Scub Coral at best seemed to amuse him slightly, while Rebecka treated it as a severe-enough breach to potentially [[HeKnowsTooMuch silence them for]]. He has also shown a consistent desire to keep his pilots happy, such as sending Chloe a box of doughnuts while she was recovering. However, this seems to be something of a front for more manipulative behavior. He let Ao off the hook for a major breach in protocol, only to have him tailed by Gazelle and his friends in such a way that he'd know he was being watched.

Despite his clear disapproval of their friendship, he let Naru go see Ao in episode 4 with no apparent protest. The fact that Ao has saved the island twice by this point might have motivated that change in attitude. |
| 386 | * LivingWithTheVillain: Naru comes back to live with her family in episode 21, leading to ''very'' uncomfortable silences all-around. |
| 387 | * ThinkOfTheChildren: This is how his hatred of Ao and Eureka manifests. Since the Scub Burst killed his wife and left his daughter quite ill, he believes Ao will draw the island's children into the same type of conflict that the adults had to deal with ten years ago. He even tries to use this excuse with Fukai (Fukai rightfully counters that Ao is as much a child of the island as the rest are). |

Japan, being isolated from the world community due to the whole Okinawa debacle, and lacking a Scub Coral that could be used for trapar production, lags behind the rest of the world significantly, so he is set on correcting this. Still, his junior status and [[LargeHam over the top ways]] mean that he's mostly ignored even by his own side. By the end of episode 9 he begins working with Truth. |
| 500 | ---- |
| 501 | * ButtMonkey |
| 502 | * DrowningMySorrows: He gets sloppy drunk in episode 21 when [[spoiler:Pied Piper's alliance with Japan]] effectively destroys his ambitions. |
| 503 | * DudeWheresMyRespect: Well, he's a junior officer, but he's frequently questioned even by his own subordinates. |
| 504 | * EvilIsNotAToy: Didn't really think that whole "use a Secret as a weapon against our enemies" plan through, did you, Lt. Nakamura? |
| 505 | * {{Jerkass}}: His reaction to [[spoiler:Truth wreaking havoc across Okinawa]] is to essentially blame them for inviting it by gaining independence. |
| 506 | * LargeHam: For a Japanese. |
| 507 | * ManipulativeBastard: Given his situation, that's basically all he can do to get to his goals. |
| 508 | ** Truth still has him wrapped around his finger. |
| 509 | * OnlyOneName: Nakamura is presumably his last name, but it's never made clear and no one has ever referred to him by any other name. Even the official website only lists the one name. The last episode finally reveals his name is Yasumochi Nakamura. |
| 510 | * PatrioticFervor: The Secret unfavorably compared him to [[GodwinsLaw Hitler]], Napoleon, and Alexander in this regard. [[spoiler:He ends up resigning from the military in episode 21, since they allied with Pied Piper and derailed his plans.]] |
| 511 | * SidewaysSmile: In later episodes, as a consequence of working for Truth. It really isn't good for one's peace of mind. |
| 512 | * SmugSnake |
| 513 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: He and Truth get along about as well as can be expected for two villains with barely any goals in common. Nakamura has even pulled a gun on him (which Truth casually bent into uselessness). |
| 514 | * TemptingFate: Their soldiers will be fine! Secrets only target Scub Coral. |
| 515 | * TooDumbToLive |
| 516 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: As he sees himself. |
| 517 | * WouldHurtAChild: He tries to shoot Ao to keep him from getting to the Nirvash in episode 14. Fortunately, ''everyone else'' is appalled by his behavior and restrains him before he can get a shot off. |

| 523 | |
| 524 | USAF officer apparently responsible for Scub phenomena observation. So far he has proved largely a neutral force, concentrating on information gathering and observations, rather than on a direct actions. |
| 525 | ---- |
| 526 | * BloodKnight: Seemed eager to have his IFO contingent face off against the Nirvash. |
| 527 | * ButNotTooForeign: Japanese-Hawaiian. |
| 528 | * DoAnythingSoldier: He seems to change military uniforms (from USAF to US Army, for example) as necessary, but most of the time he's dressed in USAF uniform. |
| 529 | * EnemyMine: He helped Han and Pippo to link the Secret's head with Georg. Later on, he offers to put Ao in protective custody, citing Génération Bleu's suffering reputation in the wake of the latest Secret attack. |
| 530 | * FirstNameBasis: Asks Ao to call him Nick in the episode 18. |
| 531 | * TheHandler: Of Miller Joe for some time. |
| 532 | * NonUniformUniform: They ''are'' uniforms, but he changes them so often it's simply impossible to determine [[DoAnythingSoldier which service he really belongs to]]. |
| 533 | * OvertOperative: He doesn't even try to hide — because he doesn't need to. His ''official cover'' is "American agent". |
| 534 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: When he shows up to take Ao into protective custody in episode 17, he doesn't try to threaten Ao into cooperating (he did have an IFO squadron with him, but that was likely meant to keep the Chinese at bay). Instead, he gives a simple reason why Ao is better off coming with him, which is enough to get Ao to come quietly. |
| 535 | * WildCard: We don't know his real agenda. |
| 536 | * WouldntHurtAChild: He pulls a gun on Ao to stop him from leaving in episode 18, but lets Ao go when Ao refuses to back down. |

| 542 | |
| 543 | A scientist who published a book explaining how the current world is wrong due to interference in history by the Scub Coral and Secrets. He is variously regarded as a quack or a prophet. With Nakamura trying to spin the Secrets as the protectors of mankind, his book is becoming much more popular. |
| 544 | ---- |
| 545 | * TheCuckoolanderWasRight: Most of the world regards him as a quack. He also happens to be completely right. [[spoiler:Truth told him everything about the other world.]] |
| 546 | * ChekhovsGunman: Mentioned as early as episode 4. |
| 547 | * DrivenToSuicide: He committed suicide a few years prior to the story, though why is never stated. |
| 548 | * TheGhost: His first appearance is a picture of him in episode 12, followed by a non-speaking flashback in episode 19. |
| 549 | * MonsterRoommate: He adopted Truth as a child. [[spoiler:He was essentially living with a Secret.]] |
| 550 | * PosthumousCharacter: He's dead in the present-day. |

| 555 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KazuhikoInoue (Japanese), Creator/ToddHaberkorn (English) |
| 556 | |
| 557 | A mysterious character who doesn't even know who he is. He goes around causing conflict in an effort to discover that fact. [[spoiler:He's actually a Secret in human form, the same Secret which fought Eureka before she vanished ten years ago. Johansen found him in the aftermath of the Okinawan Scub Burst.]] In episode 20, [[spoiler:he merges with the Kanon, an LFO archetype kept in the basement of Génération Bleu, after Christophe Blanc tries to kill him with a Quartz explosion.]] |
| 558 | ---- |
| 559 | * AxCrazy: After merging with [[spoiler:Kanon]]. |
| 560 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: One episode after he commits suicide, he's back as an Archetype on the Nirvash.]] |
| 561 | * BeamSpam: [[spoiler:When merged with the Kanon.]] |
| 562 | * BigBad |
| 563 | * ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:End of series.]] |
| 564 | * CameBackStrong: [[spoiler: To the point that it's stated only another archetype can beat him now.]] |
| 565 | * TheCracker: He's a member of the "Fire [[MeaningfulName Crackers]]", a hacking group. In fact, he's actually the entire group. He's able to hack into a missile defense satellite in episode 12. Episode 19 reveals that he's actually a technopath, hence why he's so freakishly good at it. |
| 566 | * CrypticConversation: More like Cryptic Soliloquies, since he often speaks aloud when no-one is there to listen. |
| 567 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: [[spoiler: Kind of]]. |
| 568 | * DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: And violently so, at that. Seeing the Nirvash evidently provides him with inspiration in that regard. After choosing his name, he claims to be seeking the "truth" of the world. [[spoiler:Episode 19 reveals this is in fact the very reason behind his creation. When Eureka took the Quartz at Okinawa without killing the Secret trying to destroy it, the Secret could only reconcile its lack of purpose by merging with the Scub and taking on human form.]] |
| 569 | * DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: He gets better.]] |
| 570 | * EleventhHourRanger: [[spoiler: Due to a CosmicRetcon in the episode before, the last episode has him as Nirvash's Archetype, communicating with Ao like an AI.]] |
| 571 | * EvilCounterpart: Seems to consider himself one to Eureka. [[spoiler: He may have a point, given they were both {{Human Alien}}s born with no knowledge of who they were.]] |
| 572 | * ExoticEyeDesigns: His iris forms a line through his pupil. |
| 573 | * {{Flight}} |
| 574 | * ForTheEvulz: He admits to Naru he was trying to use the Secrets and the Scub Coral to cause chaos. |
| 575 | * GenderBender: One of the forms he takes is a woman. One notable aspect of this form is that it retains the exotic eyes of his default form. Gets doubly disturbing in episode 13, where he takes two female forms and shapeshifts only his head back to normal while talking. Worse still, one of these was Eureka. You can [[BrainBleach scream in agony]] now. |
| 576 | * HandBlast: He can fire bolts of energy strong enough to blow up an armored FP or a small building. He does this with a FingerGun at one point. |
| 577 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: After becoming an Archetype.]] |
| 578 | * HiddenAgendaVillain: Some of it seems to be him trying to find what his ''own'' agenda is. See DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife. |
| 579 | * HumanAlien: [[spoiler: Similar to Eureka]]. |
| 580 | * HumanoidAbomination: [[spoiler:Apparently, a Secret-Scub-Human hybrid.]] |
| 581 | * HumanShifting: He can take the appearance of any human at will. |
| 582 | * InvincibleVillain: Going hand in hand with being an OutsideContextProblem, the guy is basically indestructible. He's shown to be bulletproof even when caught off-guard, can fly at speeds matching or exceeding most [=IFOs=], can shield himself from attacks that would shred armored vehicles, and can fire energy blasts that can destroy small buildings. [[spoiler:Even a Quartz explosion, which is supposed to kill Secrets, fails to bring him down.]] |
| 583 | * {{Irony}}: His goal in life is to discover the truth. When he finally learns it, he outright refuses to accept it. |
| 584 | * LaughingMad: Especially after episode 22. |
| 585 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler: He actually ''forgot'' he was a Secret.]] |
| 586 | * LivingShadow: His monster form looks like one. |
| 587 | * MadEye: After merging with [[spoiler:Kanon]] |
| 588 | * MakingASplash: He telekinetically shapes a giant hand out of water to drag the Nirvash into the depths. It didn't stop Ao for very long, but it succeeded in pulling him under regardless. |
| 589 | * ManipulativeBastard: Being a shapeshifter helps in this regard, but he's shown the ability to destabilize ''entire countries'' without revealing himself. |
| 590 | * MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: After episode 20. |
| 591 | * NietzscheWannabe: Believes the world is wrong and nothing can fix it. He passed these ideas on to his adopted father, Johansen. |
| 592 | * NoOneCouldSurviveThat: [[spoiler: In episode 19, Christophe crushes him with a bunch of Quartz storage tanks. Since Truth is a Secret, the two react and cause a massive explosion. He comes back in the next episode merged with an LFO archetype called Kanon.]] |
| 593 | * OhCrap: Surprisingly, he's still capable of this even with all his power. |
| 594 | * OmnicidalManiac: By episode 22, as a consequence of his SanitySlippage, he plans to destroy ''everything''. |
| 595 | * OneWingedAngel: His monstrous shadow-like form. [[spoiler:His Secret form would technically count, if he ever used it in whole.]] In episode 20, [[spoiler:his transformation into a Secret/LFO hybrid]] could also be seen as this. |
| 596 | * OutGambitted: He learns in episode 19 that, for all his attempts at manipulation, [[spoiler:''Naru'']] has been playing him. Probably not the whole time, but presumably after episode 14. |
| 597 | * OutsideContextProblem: He appears with no prior build-up in episode 6, sees the Nirvash in action, announces that he was waiting for something like it, and then goes to attack Génération Bleu. He is not aligned with any of the factions, nor does he seem to have an allegiance to the Secrets. Finally, he possess superpowers in a HumongousMecha series. |
| 598 | * PersonOfMassDestruction |
| 599 | * PetTheDog: As Naru points out, he could have killed Ao by now, were he so inclined. Truth believes that Ao has the potential to see the truth of the world, which is probably why he hasn't bothered. |
| 600 | * PowerGlows: The jewel on his belt glows. His eyes also glow occasionally. |
| 601 | * PsychicPowers: He's a powerful telekinetic, able to lift cars, levitate, and moves an entire store from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon (which may have involved teleportation given how cleanly he did it). He may also be a telepath, given his ability to infiltrate almost any organization he wants. He may have put Ao through a DreamSequence, during which he [[spoiler:took off with Naru]], which left Ao unconscious for three days. Naru later explains that Ao's consciousness was there, which implies Truth was responsible. |
| 602 | * RammingAlwaysWorks: [[spoiler:Half of his combat strategy when merged with the Kanon is to just run into everything, since his mech is indestructible.]] |
| 603 | * [[spoiler: RetGone]]: To himself. [[spoiler: He gets better.]] |
| 604 | * RocketPunch: His ShapeshifterWeapon powers work this way, transforming his fists and controlling them at range. |
| 605 | * SanitySlippage: He's wayyyyy gone by episode 22... |
| 606 | * SelfDisposingVillain: [[spoiler:He hijacks the Quartz Gun and shoots himself with it, simply because he's tired of living in a world that he does not belong to. He's erased from existence, but the Kanon survives (albeit as a flaming wreck). [[HeelFaceTurn And then Truth turns up as the Nirvash's Archetype in the new timeline.]]]] |
| 607 | * ShapeshifterDefaultForm: Type B. His white-haired form seen in the opening is the one he switches to when not bothering to hide his identity. Naru's vision shows that this is his true ''human'' form, having manifested as a human child when Johansen found him. His actual form is that of [[spoiler:the humanoid Secrets]]. |
| 608 | * ShapeshifterWeapon: He can transform his hands into giant [[spoiler:Secret]] hands, strong enough to wrestle an IFO. |
| 609 | * {{Technopath}}: Revealed to be the source of his hacking abilities in episode 19. |
| 610 | * TeleportersAndTransporters: He's shown the ability to teleport in later episodes. |
| 611 | * TheSociopath: People die and things explode when he's around. [[spoiler: This is subverted at the end of the series, where he's actually helpful.]] |
| 612 | * TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler: He actually freaks out when he's told he's a Secret.]] |
| 613 | * WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: He starts out AxCrazy. [[spoiler:Merging with Kanon pushed him over the edge to completely insane. Then a CosmicRetcon happens and he gets better.]] |
| 614 | * VillainousBreakdown: |
| 615 | ** He really [[BerserkButton cannot stand getting beaten]] because he's damned near indestructible. Episodes 13 and 14 are great examples of this, showing his face devolve into almost-deformed expressions of anger reminiscent of [[Anime/{{FLCL}} Haruhara Haruko's]] [[http://media.animevice.com/uploads/0/83/10601-flcl_haruko0211.jpg angry]] [[http://static.zerochan.net/Haruhara.Haruko.full.172090.jpg face,]] where she loses her composure so much that she seems to lose control of her body. |
| 616 | ** He truly loses it in episode 19, [[spoiler:when he learns he's a Secret in human form]]. Remember what we said about Haruko's angry face? He looks like that pretty much constantly. Which is rather satisfying in a weird way. |
| 617 | * VillainousBSOD: Pretty much all of the episode 19, [[spoiler: after both Naru and the Secret head told him that he's a Secret — which he obviously is unable to remember (and ''[[{{Hypocrite}} accept]]'') at all]]. |

| 623 | |
| 624 | Ao's MissingMom. 13 years before the series begins, she fell from the sky into the ocean. She was rescued by Mitsuo Arata and gave birth to Ao on Okinawa. She disappeared under mysterious circumstances in the Okinawan Scub Burst ten years ago. In the present, she appears in episode 12, except from her perspective that hasn't happened yet. She is the original pilot of the Nirvash Mark I, while her past self piloted the Nirvash [=typeZERO spec2=]. |
| 625 | ---- |
| 626 | * TheAgeless: Coralians never age, so Eureka is effectively a permanent teenager regardless of her real age. She still looks the same as she did in the [[Anime/EurekaSeven original series]], presumably several years ago to her. Still, she manages to give an impression of the older age through the longer hair and more conservative outfit. |
| 627 | * CameFromTheSky: Eureka and the Nirvash came out from a pillar of light and the Nirvash subsequently dropped Eureka into the ocean. |
| 628 | * ChekhovMIA: As Ao's MissingMom, she inevitably becomes important once she reappears. |
| 629 | * DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: A mother example. It ultimately came down to either abandoning Ao or letting a whole lot of people get killed (which might have included Ao regardless). |
| 630 | * DeclarationOfProtection: She says this about the world after witnessing two men suffer protecting her. |
| 631 | * DyeOrDie: Eureka has black hair in some flashbacks, and is seen dying it in one of them. |
| 632 | * FlingALightIntoTheFuture: She taught the world how to neutralize Scub Bursts, at the cost of herself. She also left the Nirvash behind, forming the basis for all IFO technology that followed. |
| 633 | * HeroicSacrifice: The sentiment is there, even if she's not truly dead. |
| 634 | * HumanAliens: As in the previous series. Her wings are hidden but can be formed at will, and the forehead jewel is still there. |
| 635 | * JustOneSecondOutOfSync: Taking the Quartz left her stuck between dimensions/timelines. [[YearInsideHourOutside Only a few days have passed for her]], and in the course of that she's gone at least forty years into the past as well thirteen years into the future (from when she first vanished). |
| 636 | * KnightTemplarParent: Like Renton, [[spoiler:Eureka decided to destroy the Scub Coral after it caused their daughter's death.]] |
| 637 | * LivingMacGuffin: Everyone is after her, since she taught them how to stop Scub Bursts in the first place and brought the Nirvash. |
| 638 | * MissingMom: Disappeared while preventing a Scub Burst 10 years ago. |
| 639 | * PregnantBadass: If push comes to shove, being six months pregnant won't stop her from doling out a much-needed beatdown. |
| 640 | * SpiritAdvisor: She can occasionally intersect with Ao's timeline to give advice. She appears before Ao a couple times, and tries to reason with Naru in episode 14 (though Naru ignores her). Elena gets a chance to talk to her in episode 21, which was quite a surprise to Eureka herself (she expected to find Ao). |
| 641 | * TimeTravel: The Eureka that appears in episode 12 is from before she gave birth to Ao, [[spoiler:far enough that she's currently pregnant with Ao's older sister. She also pulled Elena from her own time period to 40 years into the future to save her]]. |
| 642 | * WingedHumanoid: Type 2; she can manifest her wings at will. |
| 643 | * YouCantFightFate: When she appears in the present, pregnant, it's a given that she'll disappear again so her previous appearance 13 years ago can occur. |

| 650 | Ao's DisappearedDad and husband of Eureka. When he and Eureka were doing experiments on the disappearance of Scub Coral in their world, she and the Nirvash [=spec2=] were taken by the Scub, leaving him behind. She came back at some point, only to leave again with the Mark 1 Nirvash sometime later. He finally shows up in episode 22, a resident of the BadFuture. |
| 651 | ---- |
| 652 | * AdventurerOutfit: A cross between an Airman and Archeologist types. It's pretty much the Federation's issue traveling gear from the original, in fact. |
| 653 | * BadassLongcoat: He wears spiffy, black longcoat while traveling. |
| 654 | * ChekhovMIA: In the original series, it's his dad who up and vanished, but here, he takes on the role of the missing badass father. |
| 655 | * CoolShades: Wears some, even though the right lens is cracked a bit. He tosses them away when he sees the Seven Swell. |
| 656 | * DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: Eureka's said he's busy fighting, both Scub Corals and Secrets. [[spoiler:Also, had Eureka stayed with Renton, Ao would've been stillborn, just like his older sister.]] |
| 657 | * DisappearedDad: Not his fault (thanks to TimeTravel and {{Alternate Universe}}s). |
| 658 | * FutureBadass: Literally but not thematically, as there's no other version of him. |
| 659 | * GadgeteerGenius: He built Ao's Nirvash, and [[spoiler:the Nirvash [=specV=] copy]] he pilots in episode 22 also seems to be his (it follows the same design aesthetic). |
| 660 | * TheGhost: He was first mentioned by name in episode 13. He doesn't appear until episode 22, not counting the shot of his back in the second opening. |
| 661 | * KnightTemplarParent: [[spoiler:He becomes obsessed with destroying the Scub Coral following the death of his daughter and often rejected any other resolution that involved protecting his son and maintaining peace with the Scub Coral altogether; he blamed the Scub Coral for Amber's death and saw it as a threat to Ao's life. He was willing to do whatever it took to protect his son even if it meant sacrificing his relationship with Eureka (who consented to this, as she too was desperate to keep Ao safe).]] |
| 662 | * WalkingTheEarth |
| 663 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:He's actually trying to destroy the Scub, both because he feels responsible for the Scub messing up the AlternateUniverse and because trapar can kill Ao.]] |

| 673 | ---- |
| 674 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: |
| 675 | ** Although she is deceased and has never been seen in the series, her death serves as the catalyst of events leading up to her parents' decision to destroy the Scub Coral, and have her brother raised in a world with no Scub Coral or trapars. |
| 676 | ** Particularly, Amber's death had a profound effect on Renton's mental state so much so that he completely disowned his previous vow to protect the Scub Coral in order to destroy it and was willing to give up anything to achieve that goal, including his relationship with Eureka and having Ao hate him. |
| 677 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: In the front cover of the final Eureka seven DVD, Amber was depicted as having blue hair and porcelain complexion like Eureka, and blue eyes as Renton. |
