36	Another friend of Gao's. He's the one who sets up Gao's cards, and makes sure his deck is balanced and has proper synergy. He and his friends form Team Balle du Soleil for the ABC Cup and later the Gaen Cup.
37
38	----
39	* TheAce: It's made very clear that Gao wouldn't be nearly as good as he is without Baku's deckbuilding. Even Tetsuya does significantly better after having Baku build him a deck.
40	* BigEater: He is always seen with food and is even said to stop thinking if not given enough food. He'll even go so far as to consider making an omelet out of ''a Buddy monster egg'', which is the first thing he contemplates upon seeing Bal's egg.
41	* BrokenPedestal: Used to idolize his cousin and fellow Deck Builder, Retsu. The same can't be said [[spoiler: after Retsu joined Disaster as Gremlin.]]

58	[[caption-width-right:200:Judgement of the Cold-blooded King, Miserea]]
59
60	He's introduced in the first episode, being saved from bullies by Gao. He soon ingratiates himself into Gao's group and becomes a member of Team Balle du Soleil.
61
62	When Kiri obtained his Dark Core, his Buddy monster became Ice Blade, Joker and his Dark Core Gadget is an ice crystal/snowflake. He is actually the Third Omni Water Lord, Miserea, having wiped his memories so that he could live through the ages as a human. Joker simply influenced events so that he would become Kiri's Buddy.
63
64	He initially uses a Danger World deck, but later changes to a Legend World deck focused around the Asgard attribute. He originally didn't have a buddy, so when he fought, he used temporary Buddies such as Armorknight Black Drake, Armorknight Asmodai (Danger), and Demon Wolf, Fenrir (Legend). After regaining his memories of his true self, he switches to using his native Dungeon World.
65
66	----
67	* AnIcePerson: After gaining the power of Disaster force.
68	* TheAtoner: After his HeelFaceTurn, he rescues Jack and the Buddy monsters he captured as the Grim Reaper from Disaster as atonement for his actions.
69	* BadassAdorable: Even after regaining his memories, he remains the kind ShrinkingViolet.
70	* CantCatchUp: A recurring theme with Kiri. He feels this way after the ABC Cup causing him to go to Sengoku Academy with Rouga, then later joins Disaster after being manipulated by Davide.
71	* CorruptTheCutie: After being manipulated by Davide, he joins Disaster as the Grim Reaper.
72	* DisappearedDad: His father is always away, but contacts him over the phone. Rather, his original personality was talking to him.
73	* FakeMemories: Self-inflicted. When the Omni Lords were trapped on Earth, he decided that he wanted to live as a human and wiped his memories every time he moved on to somewhere else.
74	* HumanAliens: Kiri looks human in both of his forms, but is stated to be something else that predates humanity.
75	* HunterOfHisOwnKind: He became The Grim Reaper when he joined Disaster, stealing Buddy Monsters upon defeating them.
76	* IntriguedByHumanity: Miserea became Kiri because he was fascinated by humans, who he saw as contradictory beings.
77	* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Implied to be why he stayed human for so long. He made friends over numerous lifetimes with Gao being the latest. Even after remembering that he's an Omni Lord, he doesn't regret it one bit.
78	* MakingASplash: Has power over water due to being the Third Omni Water Lord.
79	** GreenThumb: Miserea can use his powers to restore dead and destroyed plant life.
80	* MeaningfulName: His surname means 'Ice Dragon' and he comes to use an ice-themed Asgard Legend World deck.
81	** His first name can be translated as "mist", which he can conjure up as one of his Omni Lord powers.
82	* MoreThanMindControl: His identity as the Grim Reaper was in response to the Dark Core Gadget ramping up his insecurities about being bad at Buddyfighting.
83	* MrExposition: In the ClipShow episodes.
84	* NaiveNewcomer: To Buddyfight. His first duel is a hand-holding tutorial to help him (and the audience) learn the ropes of the game.
85	* NewTransferStudent: To Gao's school and class, in his second appearance.
86	* OlderThanHeLooks: Despite being a millennia old monster from Dungeon World, even in Monster Form he looks like a Pre-Teen.
87	* ScaledUp: [[spoiler:His Roi Miserea form is an ice dragon, which he upgrades to during the final tournament arc in ''Buddyfight X''. He never actually gets to use it since Gao deals a finishing move to win the match right after he transforms.]]
88	%%* ShrinkingViolet
89	* TimeAbyss: Miserea is thousands of years old, his existence predating that of humanity. Though each of his identities over the years has existed for a fairly normal amount of time by human standards.

97	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/buddyfight_character_large_332x363_tetsuyakurodake.jpg]]
98	[[caption-width-right:350:A millenial kingdom where you can play for a thousand years! Luminize, Devil's Millenium! Yo!]]
99
100	An energetic friend of Gao's. He's regularly found rapping, even in the middle of a fight. He and his Buddy, Demon Lord Asmodai, form Team Tetsu & Dai for the ABC Cup, and he later joins Balle Du Soleil for the Gaen Cup. His goal is to become the King of Magic World, something Asmodai is determined to see happen.
101
102	Tetsuya plays with a Magic World deck, focusing on the [[Literature/ArsGoetia 72 Pillars]]. His core deck case is headphones and his buddy skill is a flying banana. As of episode 5 of ''Buddyfight Hundred'', he is a member of the Buddy Police.
103
104	----
105	* AnimeHair: Subverted; those banana like appendages on his head actually ''are'' edible bananas.
106	* BreakTheCutie: Terumi's memory wipe hits him hard. When presented with the offer of forfeiting his match to Sofia in order to get information on Terumi's past life, Tetsuya breaks down and cries. He considers giving up because he misses her so much and wants to help her.
107	* DanceBattler: Along with Asmodai and the rest of his team, he frequently makes use of breakdancing and other hip-hop styled moves during Buddyfights.
108	* DarkIsNotEvil: His entire deck is composed of the [[Literature/ArsGoetia 72 Pillars]], literal demons. Yet all his monsters are just as big dance and rap fanatics as Tetsuya and Asmodai are.
109	* TheDitz: Frequently forgets the rules and needs Asmodai's help to remember.
110	* {{Jobber}}: While he is skilled, if a threat needs to be emphasized by a Major character losing, the role often falls to Tetsuya.
111	* ObfuscatingStupidity: He may be the most fun loving of the team, but that doesn't mean that he's expected to be ignorant of his friends' feelings. During the Gaen Cup, he intentionally played up his goofiness and went ahead as the first fighter in the semifinals for two reasons- to buy Gao and Baku more time to build a new deck with [[spoiler: Jackknife Dragon]] in it, and to cheer up Balle du Soleil after figuring out TheReveal that [[spoiler: Purgatory Knight was Tasuku all along]].
112	* OppositesAttract: With Terumi.
113	* [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy Pretty Fly for a Japanese Kid]]
114	* ShipTease: With Terumi.
115	* [[StarCrossedLovers Star-Crossed Friends]]: With Terumi.
116	* TookALevelInBadass: After Baku improves his deck, he's able to beat Noboru. He also almost beat Rouga on his first turn during their rematch, and only lost because Rouga had some cards to counter him at the last moment.
117	* VerbalTic: In the dub, at least, he ends most of his sentences with "-yo".
118	* YankTheDogsChain: He defeats his crush Terumi in a rematch and finally becomes friends with her. He's even about to learn more about her (like her true name.) He's broken her out of her shell, and earned a victory for his team despite many people having little faith in him. But thanks to Sofia, Terumi loses all memories of him and runs off. The saddest part is, Tetsuya would have been able to help her had she told him her name earlier.

122	!!Zanya Kisaragi
123	!!! Katana World

125

127	[[caption-width-right:350:Heavenly Moon, Overturn Yourself, and slay all evil! . Luminize, Kisaragi Legend of Sky!]]
128
129	The Top Ranked fighter in the 6th Grade and heir to the Kisaragi ninja arts. He starts off very aloof, but warms up to Gao and the others over time. He joins Balle Du Soleil in time to compete in the Gaen Cup.
130
131	Zanya uses a Katana World, focusing on Cyber Ninja. His buddy is Nanomachine Ninja, Tsukikage. He became a member of the Buddy Police as of episode 6 of ''Buddyfight Hundred''.
132
133	----
134	* AloofBigBrother: Though he mellows out a bit later on.
135	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Loses to Genma twice during the ABC final.
136	* AwesomeByAnalysis: Has to be, as Katana World relies on predicting and countering opponents moves. His Secret Sword cards only further emphasis this.
137	* BadassAdorable: Despite his cute and funny personality, his ninja skills are top notch.
138	* CounterAttack: His newest impact card is one.
139	%%* DefrostingIceKing: Over the course of the ABC Cup and after becoming Gao's friend.
140	* ExactWords: He never actually agreed to let Byakuya become his Buddy.
141	* GirlsHaveCooties: The guy completely loses his cool the moment a girl comes anywhere near him, as his glasses crack whenever this happens. He loses the first fight in the Gaen Cup primarily due to this. As revealed after his fight against Akatsuki with Byakuya in his deck, it seems his reason behind it is because [[YouTalkTooMuch girls often talk a lot]].
142	* KatanasAreJustBetter: Has a katana for a core gadget to go with his Katana World deck.
143	* MouthyKid: Likes to taunt his opponents. Also believed he could take the members of the Seifukai in a fight. Part of his character development has him become more humble and less antagonistic towards opponents.
144	* {{Ninja}}: His entire deck theme. He used to dress like one when he was younger like Akatsuki does, but he grew out of it.
145	* OutOfFocus: Hit with this hard in DDD.
146	* TheStoic: Most of the time.
147	** NotSoStoic: Any time a girl gets near him.
148	* SixthRanger: His role in X. While he doesn't hang out as often with the Main Cast, he is still working from the sidelines against the Chaos Control Company, and will lend his aid to Gao if needed.
149	* {{Tsundere}}: Type 1.
150	* WildCardExcuse: When Gao invites him into his house he replies 'I can't I'm allergic to girls...uh, food!'. Another example is when Kazane asks to Buddyfight him to pass the time he responds 'I can't I'm afraid of gir-heights!'.
151	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: His fear of girls, which sometimes costs him tournaments. He eventually finds a way around it using a special opaque visor in season 2.

155	!!Akatsuki Kisaragi

160	* TheBabyOfTheBunch: He's the Youngest Member of Team Balle Du Soleil
161	* BigBrotherWorship: To Zanya

168	!!Demon Lord Asmodai/[[spoiler:Second Omni Demon Lord Asmodai]]
169	->Voiced by: Tetsuharu Ota (JP), Lucas Gilbertson (EN)
170	Tetsuya's Buddy from the Magic World. He's a seemingly goofy demon with his own dance show on television, and often dances alongside Tetsuya.
171
172	[[spoiler:He is the second of eight Omni Lords responsible for protecting Earth.]]
173	----
174	* BadassLongcoat: Wears one [[spoiler:in his Omni Lord form]].
175	* BatterUp: As Let's Play Asmodai.
176	* BigBrotherMentor: Acts as one to Tetsuya at times.
177	* BroughtDownToBadass: After getting [[spoiler:half his power eaten by Yamigedo, he can still fight, but not as well as before. He gets it back by travelling into Yamigedo's stomach and reabsorbing it.]]
178	* DarkIsNotEvil: For a Demon Lord, he's actually a pretty cool dude.
179	* HiddenDepths: He seems like a goofy dancer, but he's a very thoughtful and mature Buddy.
180	** [[spoiler: He's also secretly an Omni Lord,]] and is against Tetsuya for joining the Buddy Police because of it. And also because he's worried for Tetsuya's safety.
181	* HornedHumanoid: Has two horns on his head and four on his shoulders. [[spoiler:The ones on his head mark him as an Omni Lord.]]
182	* LetsGetDangerous: When the situation calls for it, he'll drop the goofy persona and be the most level-headed and intelligent being in the room.
183	* ILied: He agrees to give up his [[spoiler:Omni Lord orb]] if Tetsuya loses to Mukuro. When that happens, he gives Mukuro a fake one instead. Asmodai justifies it by saying that he's a demon and [[ItsWhatIDo Mukuro should have seen it coming]].
184	* MasterOfIllusion: When Sofia brings up Terumi's memory loss to break Tetsuya's spirit, Asmodai points out Terumi among the spectators. "Terumi" turned out to be one of his clones in disguise while the real Terumi was watching the battle from somewhere else in town.
185	* MesACrowd: Can copy himself at will and Tetsuya will often call multiple different versions of him.
186	** [[spoiler:When Yamigedo eats one, it absorbs some of Asmodai's power with it.]]
187	* MoreDakka: As Armorknight, Asmodai.
188	* ObfuscatingStupidity: He throws a banana at Sofia seemingly for a funny laugh, but it's actually a BatmanGambit to get the field temporarily shut off. With the field down, he could know Tetsuya that Terumi was in the audience and waiting for him. [[spoiler: It was actually one of Asmodai's clones, there to give Tetsuya hope in his match against Sofia.]]
189	* OurDemonsAreDifferent: He looks like a purple, horned human.
190	* ShipperOnDeck: Ships Tetsuya and Terumi pretty hard. A lot of this might come from him wanting Tetsuya to help Terumi out of her shell.
191	* SuperMode: [[spoiler: Second Omni Demon Lord Asmodai. It has '''TEN''' times the power and defense than his base form.]]
192	* TookALevelInJerkass: After Tetsuya wants to become a member of the Buddy Police, Asmodai's dismissals range from gentle to rude, to even unnecessarily cruel.
193	* WalkingShirtlessScene: Wears a hooded vest that doesn't cover his chest.
194	* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Fights using backdrops and piledrivers.
195	** The Upcoming Trial deck even has him as a wrestler.

206	[[caption-width-right:268:Nin.]]
207
208	Zanya's Buddy. A Cyber Ninja from Katana World. While he usually only says "Nin", he can speak further, but does not as a way to strengthen his will.
209	----
210	* FromASingleCell: He's actually made up of tiny nano machines, which is reflected in his ability to survive being destroyed.
211	* FusionDance: With Byakuya to form Ghoul Deity, Gojinmaru. Tsukikage's personality is the dominant one.
212	* GoldMakesEverythingShiny: [[spoiler:His Overturn form]] gives his armor lots of gold bits to contrast with his black and gray color scheme.
213	* MesACrowd: As he's made of nanomachines, he can split pieces off of himself to make smaller copies that are still controlled by him. [[spoiler:He merges one such copy with his main body to throw off Disaster's mind control.]]
214	* MindControl: Happens to him after being stolen by the Grim Reaper.
215	* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: He's a Robot Ninja.
216	* PokemonSpeak: All he ever says is 'Nin'. He then brings out a scroll with what he was trying to say written on it. [[spoiler: Subverted in that he can speak normally, but chooses not to.]]
217	* PowerPerversionPotential: Paruko accuses him of using his ninja powers to sneak into the girls locker room. Tsukikage would like everyone to know that he doesn't do that though.

223	->Voiced by: Creator/AyumuMurase (JP), Zoe Slusar (EN)
224
225	A ninja from Katana World that came to Earth to replace his brother Tsukikage as Zanya's Buddy in ''Hundred''. Though he does not succeed and is not Zanya's official Buddy, he stays with Zanya and Tsukigake into the following seasons.
226	----
227	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: He runs faster, jumps higher, throws further and can perform ninja arts better than Tsukikage.
228	* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Inverted and then played straight. He kept calling Tsukikage his younger brother, but Byakuya is the more loud and hyperactive sibling. Then it turns out that for nanomachine ninjas assign older sibling status to the more skilled ninja and in fact Tsukikage was actually born first. When Zanya would only accept his current buddy for no other, the older brother status went to Tsukikage.
229	* ExactWords: Falls for this when he challenges Akatsuki to a Buddyfight with the conditions that Tsukikage fights for Akatsuki and if Zanya wins, he replaces Tsukikage. Zanya never actually agrees to this, but goes through with the Buddyfight. He later says that while he never agreed to replace Tsukikage, he can find a place for Byakuya in his deck instead.
230	* {{Foil}}: To his brother.
231	* FusionDance: With Tsukikage to form Ghoul Deity, Gojinmaru.
232	* MotorMouth: Is he ever.
233	* PaletteSwap: Of Tsukikage.
234	* WeakButSkilled: Only has a critical of one but can attack multiple times and can bypass a monster in the center to attack he player directly.

245
246	While initially an ice monster given to Kiri when he joined Disaster, he actually arranged events so that Disaster would make him Kiri's Buddy. He is in truth the loyal attendant to Miserea, tasked with watching over his amnesiac state while he lived as a human.
247	----
248	* AnIcePerson: As Ice Blade Joker.
249	* CatchPhrase: "FREEZE!" He still does it after his true form is revealed due to force of habit.
250	* DishingOutDirt: Stein Blade, Joker. Just replace everything ice-related with stone.
251	* LargeHam: Has a very over-the-top personality.
252	* MindControl: Claimed the dark core had him under complete control while Kiri was the Grim Reaper. In truth, he was faking.
253	* PaletteSwap: His two known forms are simply differently-colored versions of the same model.
254	* PungeonMaster: Constantly making puns, especially in ''Hundred''.
255	* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He has been watching over Kiri, or rather Miserea, for thousands of years as he lived among the humans.
256	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Played straight when he's with Disaster, subverted afterwards.
257	* SleepModeSize: Gets a mini form in season four, which is based on his Ice Blade form.
258	* SecretKeeper: He has been watching over Kiri for thousands of years, never revealing that Kiri was actually an Omni Lord. He has also been holding onto all of the memories from each prior human life so Kiri can move onto the next one much easier.
