Helmet Gang
A large gang spread throughout Kivotos made up of unaffiliated dropout students who take up mercenary work. Their members are all characterized by wearing a signature helmet (or face protector) of any kind.
Tropes in General
- Faceless Goons: Except for Rabu, all Helmet Gangsters wear full-face motorcycle helmets or gas masks.
- Gang of Hats: They all make up a Gang of Helmets, which is really all that needs to be said about their looks.
- Starter Villain: For both Sensei (at the prologue) and the Foreclosure Task Force (in Volume 1), before moving on to bigger fish like Problem Solver 68, the Prefect Team, and Kaiser Corporation—especially Kaiser, the one responsible for Abydos's problems on top of being Volume 1's Chapter 2's Final Boss.
- Villainous Rescue: In Volume F, they answer the call to help defend the SCHALE building from the Chroma's assault. Completely Justified, given that the Chroma is an existential threat to all of Kivotos, them included, as Rabu points out.
Komakaze Rabu
The leader of the Splash Helmet Gang, and a student unaffiliated with any school.
- Cool Helmet: Wears a black colored Alytn Helmet complete with a visor and Helmet Gang decal on the side. She also seems to be a fan of them since she hired The Foreclosure Task Force for their really nice helmets in addition to their skills.
- Fangs Are Evil: The leader of the Splash Helmet Gang has shark-like teeth.
- Horrible Judge of Character:
- Having lost against the Abydos girls repeatedly during the Resort Hunt, they've decided to hire Wakamo of all people to provide backup. Not only did she try to berate the Fox of Calamity, but the fact that Sensei was around motivated Wakamo to beat the entire Splash Helmet Gang into submission, turning them into her henchmen for her plan to "rescue" Sensei from the clutches of the Foreclosure Task Force.
- Happens once again when the Foreclosure Task Force disguise themselves as new hires for the Splash Helmet Gang, using the same ski masks they used for bank robbing in order to disguise themselves. Rabu just thinks that they're wearing really nice helmets.
- Mook Lieutenant: The first named Helmet Gangster Sensei meets and she's the one commanding troops under Kaiser Salesperson (Formerly Kaiser PMC Director).
- Throat-Slitting Gesture: Whenever she uses one of her skills.
Kaiser Corporation
A giant corporation in Kivotos that oftens dip its hands in illegal business. Its affiliates include Kaiser Loans, Kaiser PMC (a mercenary company), Kaiser Construction, and convenience store chains amongst many others.
Tropes in General
- Animal Motifs: The octopus. Logos of Kaiser Corporation and all of its affiliates either depict an octopus or a stylized depiction of one. It also fits into how they operate via their many avenues of business, which even extends to black market deals.
- Arms Dealer: They fit in the Corporate Lobbyist category, both producing and selling legally in stores and less legally in the Black Market.
- The Bus Came Back: After being a present antagonist through Kaiser PMC, then being absent for Volumes 2 and 3, Kaiser finally returns in Volume 4 where it's revealed that they've made Valkyrie Police Academy subservient to them in exchange for better equipment.
- Deal with the Devil: They were more than happy to provide half-decent gear to Valkyrie Police Academy... on the condition that Valkyrie assist Kaiser with their own agenda.
- Evil, Inc..: They're involved in a myriad of different businesses ranging from banking to mercenaries, and they're more than willing to cooperate with Gematria and force students out of schools like they tried with Abydos.
- Karma Houdini: Kaiser PMC is responsible for at least two separate coup attempts on the General Student Council as well as several cases of illegal arms trafficking, and other subsidiaries of the Kaiser Group have committed everything from fraud to loan sharking. Pretty much the only reason they haven't had their assets seized and the corporation itself either forcibly broken up or nationalized boils down to the fact that they employ just about everyone who isn't either self-employed or working for one of Kivotos' clubs, which, as is explained in V4C2, would probably crash Kivotos' economy if it went under, and as General himself says, he'd just refound Kaiser under another name anyway.
- Mecha-Mooks: All of their rank-and-files are robotic, this includes their top brass (all of whom are Ridiculously Human Robots).
- MegaCorp: They named themselves that after all. Joke aside, their presence is felt nearly everywhere throughout Kivotos, especially in its shady underbelly, and kept at bay by the autonomous districts. The now-nearly-abandoned Abydos is an example of what happens when an academy is unprepared to deal with cutthroat businessmen like those of Kaiser.
- No Name Given: None of the executives of Kaiser have ever given their name up to date, if they even have any.
- One Nation Under Copyright: Their ultimate goal as revealed in the Final Volume, seeking to depose the GSC and the students, and appoint themselves as rulers of Kivotos.
- Private Military Contractors: They have a subsidiary named "Kaiser PMC", which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin.
Kaiser PMC Director
Click to see Kaiser Salesperson.
"I am the chief executive of Kaiser Corporation. And I am the one to whom the Abydos School owes its debt. In other words, I am your creditor."
Affiliation: Kaiser Corporation
Age: N/A
Birthday: N/A
Height: N/A
Hobbies: N/A
Illustrator: mx2j
Voiced by: Tetsu Inada (anime)
One of the members of the Kaiser Corporation's Board of Directors. Serves as the main antagonist of Volume 1, Chapters 1 and 2, and the Momoyodou Beach Shack Franchise Plan event, albeit demoted for his failure to take Abydos and renamed to "Kaiser Salesperson".
- Bad Boss: Problem Solver 68's failure to defeat Abydos is met with him slashing their promised payout for the job. This later becomes part of 68's motivation to turn on them.
- Big Bad: Of Volume 1's Chapters 1 and 2, being the one responsible for the Helmet Gang and Problem Solver 68 attacking Abydos High School in a scheme to take over Abydos and install a corporate-based school to match the other school districts.
- The Bus Came Back: After his failure and disappearance at the end of Volume 1 Chapter 2, Momoyodou Beach Shack Franchise Plan has him return once more as the Big Bad, albeit now known as Kaiser Salesperson, demoted to working in the Octopus Bank.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: Without the Abydos Student Council around to negotiate turning Abydos High School over to Kaiser, the Director responded with hiring criminals like the Helmet Gang and Problem Solver 68 to drive out the Foreclosure Task Force.
- Enemy Mine: The Director ended up siding with Black Suit in his effort to take down the Foreclosure Task Force, due to Black Suit wanting to capture Hoshino, the last vestiges of Abydos' student council, for her Mystic.
- On the receiving end, his machinations end up causing Problem Solver 68 to join the Foreclosure Task Force in their mission to rescue Hoshino, along with Trinity and Gehenna joining in to decimate Kaiser's forces.
- No Name Given:
- He's simply known as the 'Kaiser Director', despite being the Chief Executive of the entire Kaiser Corporation.
- In the Momoyodou Beach Shack Franchise Plan, he's been demoted to 'Kaiser Salesperson'.
- Put on a Bus: The last he's seen in Volume 1 is him squaring off with Problem Solver 68 while the Foreclosure Task Force moves to secure Hoshino. He ends up losing his position and goes into hiding while the rest of Kaiser washes their hands of him.
- Red and Black and Evil All Over: He wears a black suit and jacket with red markings, plus a red tie and sash, and he's a Corrupt Corporate Executive.
- Villain Has a Point: His actions against the Foreclosure Task Force are evil, yes. But he makes a point that he purchased the rest of Abydos' district legally through negotiations with its student council before they went defunct.
General (Spoilers for Volumes 4 and F)
General
The successor to Kaiser PMC Director after he got demoted. He is responsible for the takeover of the General Student Council during the Final Volume.
- No-Nonsense Nemesis: Unlike his predecessor, he does not plan to take Sensei lightly. The moment he found out Sensei escaped, he demanded the Special Forces to come and assist them, knowing Sensei will strike and wanting to make sure they win the fight at any cost.
- Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids!: When he meets RABBIT Squad again in V4C2, he writes off their ideas of bonds and friendship as naïve and praises Kaya for being mature to set aside her feelings for her goals, just like General restraining himself from taking revenge for his defeat at RABBIT's hands.
- Underestimating Badassery: On two separate occasions against RABBIT Squad, making him border on Sitcom Archnemesis status:
- In Volume F, Chapter 1, he's introduced as a No-Nonsense Nemesis who's got intimidating special Kaiser soldiers he believes can take on the likes of SRT. Come a map stage later, the way RABBIT and Sensei storm through Schale HQ as General panics makes it clear the special forces weren't much to write home about.
- V4C2E23 turns the relationship between RABBIT and Kaiser's military into Comically Lopsided Rivalry. General had reserved his spec ops for FOX Squad should it come to it, but when he hears of their defeat, he's somehow confident Kaiser can take RABBIT despite their own earlier loss a volume ago. In a handful of textboxes after his monologue, RABBIT wastes no time gunning all of them down, and instead of Kaiser being dignified with a map stage like in Volume F, they don't even get that and only have a single level, the students' EX cost meter on Fever Time so that you can enjoy the difference in strength between the squad and the metal fodder.
President
President
The President of Kaiser Corporation and its subsidiaries.
- Coat Cape: He wears his outer jacket in this fashion.
- Classy Cane: Has one to complete the rich executive look.
- Red and Black and Evil All Over: He’s the Corrupt Corporate Executive in charge of a ruthless MegaCorp and he’s dressed in a black suit with a red dress shirt.
Slumpia
"In this closed amusement park, the happiness of many people remain as residue of joy. And the mimesis of that residue has manifested. At last, meaning has been assigned to these discarded dolls. I shall call them mimesis. They are replicas of joy possessing the attribute of terror, another side of the mystic. Now then, Sensei, please prepare to applaud."
Dolls and attractions from the defunct amusement park Slumpia that have come to life through the power of mimesis.
Tropes in General
- Amusement Park of Doom: Slumpia is a rundown amusement park, full of abandoned attractions and devoid of life, made all the more sinister by the nighttime setting it is seen in gameplay. And if one were to see the facilities light up, then it's because of the resentful, unfriendly dolls still inside...
Shiro & Kuro
Mimesis of Joy
A pair of Amuse Dolls that once operated in Slumpia. They now seek to recreate the festivities that the park once held.
- Abandoned Playground: Kuro's attack involve summoning the abandoned theme park's ride to ram the students, which include carousel horses, teacups and bumper cars.
- Hoist by His Own Petard:
- Deploying sturdy enough cover structure on the path where Shiro's large ball starts to roll will end up bouncing it back at them, increasing Groggy gauge.
- Some of Kuro's summoned theme park rides can be made to ram into her if there isn't a student in the way, dealing damage and increasing the Groggy gauge.
- Leitmotif: Fearful Utopia
.
Goz
Magician of the Theme Park
One of the Amuse Dolls that once operated in Slumpia. He now continue his magic show in the defunct theme park's stage.
- Cheshire Cat Grin: This cat shows it before going into phase 2.
- Doppelgänger Spin: His most notable attack, in which he creates doppelgangers of himself. Damage dealt to the fake Goz does not transfer to the real one, and on the Insane mode, even the fake Goz's attacks will deal damage. There are various visual cues that can be used to detect the real one, though they only happen in an instant and player need to keep their eyes peeled to spot them.
- Stage Magician: As the former attraction of Slumpia's magic stage show, this is par for the course.
-
That One Boss: Almost unanimously reviled as the most detestable boss in the game. It got to the point where multiple players would gather around its statue in the 3rd Anniversary live event to flip it off. Its clones in Phase 2 are by far the least concerning part of its kit, as identifying the real one is somewhat doable; however, it requires both extremely high area damage and single-target damage, relocation, and large critical chance boosts to break through its massive critical resistance - and most compositions that fit all those criteria not only require multiple highly invested limited students, but are also subject to RNG from its wide-area attacks and hat bomb placements in Phase 2, seeing as those same students, like Wakamo, Izuna and Kotori, are usually weak to its attack type in Insane and higher difficulties, and routinely get one-shotted. Add to all of that the unreliability of the relocation mechanics, which sometimes leads the girls back into danger after they've been moved out of it, and what you have is a whole lot of restarts until everything goes right in a single run.
Communio Sanctorum
"Oh, Congregatio de Causis Sanctorum, those blessed ones who gladly followed your teachings have finally been canonized, and they will perform miracles as proof..."
Artificial angels created by Maestro of Gematria.
Tropes in General
- Religious Horror: All revealed members of Communio Sanctorum are named after the Four Great Doctors of the Church (Hieronymus, Ambrosius, and Gregory). Certainly, they are humanoid and have some kind of halo radiating behind them, but they're giants compared to the students, have unusually elongated limbs and hands, and are definitely hostile.
- The Unfought: Ambrosius, while planned by Maestro to be made as another member of the Communio Sanctorum, has only appeared in a mission stage boss due to being a failure.
Hieronymus
Hieronymus
An unidentified being found in the basement of the ancient cathedral ruins of Trinity.
- Convenient Weakness Placement: Hieronymus normally possesses extremely high damage resistance. Conveniently, its arena also features a holy relic that the player can heal to inflict a debuff on the boss that makes it take more damage.
- HP to 1: While normally an instant death attack, on Insane mode, its attack when the ATG bar is filled sets the entire squad's HP to 1, while also giving all students invincibility in order to give them a chance to heal up.
- Time Bomb: One of its attacks inflicts a curse upon a student, complete with a countdown. If the student is not healed to full HP before the countdown reaches '0', they will explode and damage any nearby students.
- Leitmotif: Library of Omen.
Gregorius
Gregorius
An unidentified being found in the ruins of an underground temple somewhere in Kivotos.
- Damage-Sponge Boss: Deconstructed. Has very large health pool (220,000,000 HP at Torment difficulty), padded with very high Crit damage resistance, decent defense and unusually high Evasion among other bosses. However, the damage taken by summoned Choir Members will also be taken by Gregorius. On top of that, Gregorius has a unique weakness to debuffs - having very specific numbers of debuffs end up increasing incoming damage up to 250%.
- Ominous Pipe Organ: The boss itself is a choir conductor fused with a pipe organ, with a second body behind it playing the pipe organ itself while it summons minions. Can also perform various attacks with the pipes surrounding the stage.
- Total Party Kill: Its "Salvation for All". Bypasses even "Invincible" status effect, preventing Junko or Marina from buying time for allies to squeeze in even more damage while Gregorius is in its most vulnerable state.
Library of Lore
Beings manifested from a new 'sublime' that is neither mystic nor terror, taking the form of cultural reference, urban legends and copypastas.
Perorodzilla
A giant Peroro-like creature that manifested in D.U. A long time ago, a ship carrying the extremely limited first edition Perorodzilla was sunk and lost to the depths of the sea, bankrupting the company responsible for it, and the existence of Perorodzilla relegated to an urban legend.
- Cute Giant: It's a giant Peroro that Hifumi and Azusa might love, but that doesn't make it any less dangerous.
- Enemy Summoner: Perorodzilla will occasionally deploy several smaller Peroros to distract your team. Although Perorodzilla will take the same amount of incoming damage as smaller Peroros do.
- Homage: A clear one to Godzilla. Even its theme is named Oxygen Destroyer, referencing the deadly weapon made to kill Godzilla.
- Wingding Eyes: Perorodzilla's eyes turn to spirals if stunned.
One Hundred Ghost Tales
A collection of ghost stories without endings brought into reality through the work of the Nature's Beauty Club. Myouki Kurokage
- Bakeneko and Nekomata: A towering twin-tailed malevonent Nekomata.
- Battle Amongst the Flames: The battle happens in the ablaze town.
- Dragged Off to Hell: Upon being defeated, Kurokage gets dragged into the smoke covered ground.
- Maximum HP Reduction: Kurokage can inflict Intimidation on students, reducing their maximum HP. Intimidation is inflicted to students by several of Kurokage's attacks as well as being in Kurokage's territory.
- See the Invisible: Kurokage has invisible spirits around it that deals the damage they take back to it, but the only way to see them is using EX skills and looking near Kurokage while slowed down.
Celestial Pantheon
The Fury of Set
- Shock and Awe: The majority of its body courses with blue lightning and fittingly most of its attacks involve sending out huge waves of lightning and lightning orbs throughout the arena.
The Chroma (Spoilers for Volume 3 and the Final Volume!)
The Chroma
A nigh indescribable entity that exists outside Kivotos. It makes an appearance in Volume 3 Chapter 4, then makes itself present in the Final Volume.
- All Your Base Are Belong to Us: Upon its invasion, the Chroma's first move is to neutralise Gematria via Anubis and corrupt all of their tech and research (IE: all the non-Kaiser enemies Sensei's faced thus far, like the Justina Saints and Divi:Sion robots) into serving it, unleashing them on Kivotos.
- Always a Bigger Fish: Gematria and Kaiser were already fairly powerful opponents that Schale had to face. They pale in comparison to the Chroma and its minions, to the point that just one of the latter (Anubis) was sent to take out Gematria and, given Black Suit's condition when he appears to Sensei in Vol. F Chapter 2 plus ALL of Gematria's acquired research falling into the Chroma's hands, that one was all they needed.
- Applied Phlebotinum: There have been cases of other villains treating the Chroma as this. Beatrice summoned it in order to turn herself into a "sublime existence", and the Nameless Priests did so to corrupt Shiroko into the Leader of Color and bring about the end of all gods across time and space.
- The Corruption: It is said that all Mysteries that make contact with the Chroma will be 'reversed' to Fear. Any denizen of Kivotos, who are closely related to Mystery, would not die from it, but instead get warped into an existence beyond recognition, described as a Fate Worse than Death. Seia herself was a victim, who only 'saw' it for a single, brief moment through her Astral Projection in Vol. 3 Chp. 4, and her body was already on the verge of being warped until Kuzunoha stopped the transformation in exchange for her foresight power.
- Driven to Madness: One of the symptoms of making contact with the Chroma. The six False Sanctums summoned all over Kivotos are said to emit a light that mentally affects anyone exposed to it, making them more aggressive.
- Eldritch Abomination: Its name and descriptions bring to mind of The Colour Out of Space, a short story written by H. P. Lovecraft about an alien who is never met or seen in person except for an alien light as the protagonist describes it. Its mere presence after it left warped the farmstead the protagonist was in beyond human recognition.
- Sentient Phlebotinum: Shown several signs of it having its own will, most notably in a flashback during Vol. F Chp. 4, when it responds to Sensei's intention to take Shiroko's place as the Leader of Color, baffling the Nameless Priests as they're neither Sublime, Mystic or Terror.
Phrenapates
"We thirst for Jericho's wailings. We bear the Seven Koans."
An enigmatic being who represent the Chroma's invasion on Kivotos as the Leader of Color. Together with Shiroko*Terror, they serve as the final antagonists of Volume F: Where All Miracles Begin.
- Canon Character All Along: Phrenapates seems to be a new character introduced fresh for the Final Volume, much like the Kaiser General and President. As it turns out, he's an alternate version of your player character.
- Dead Alternate Counterpart: Revealed to be the corpse of Sensei from an alternate timeline, turned into the Leader of Color. Not only do they have a Shittim Chest of their own, they also have a damaged Adult Card.
- Determinator: Even though they were bedridden and in critical condition from an incident involving the SCHALE building that left it destroyed, and fell into a coma for 100 days, they still managed to wake up in time to confront Shiroko even as their body broke down, even taking on the role as the Leader of Colour in Shiroko's place. Moreover, part of the reason they travelled across space and time through the Ark, despite being technically a moving corpse by this point, is to entrust their hope to an alternate counterpart of them, knowing they'd make the same choice. Just like Sensei, they'll pay any price if it's for the sake of their students.
- Evil Counterpart: To Sensei. Not only do they have Shittim Chest and know how to operate it, the Shittim Chest they possess carries have the same gunshot damage as the one shown in the Prologue. Notably, the password they used to activate the Chest is slightly different from Sensei's. This becomes sinisterly literal with the reveal that they ARE an alternate Sensei, reanimated by the power of Colour.
- Fallen Hero: Formerly the kindly and helpful Sensei prior to his death, Phrenapates now serves their new master in attempting to invade Kivotos. Zigzagged, however, with The Reveal that Phrenapates voluntarily took up this position to spare Shiroko/Anubis from being forced into it instead.
- Foreshadowing: Their possession of a Shittim Chest, knowledge of its operation, reciting of a warped variant of its activation code and finally pulling out a damaged Adult Card are all major hints as to who Phrenapates actually is. They are an alternate Sensei, left in a critical condition due to an unspecified incident in the Bad Future that destroyed SCHALE and willingly took in the Chroma to be reanimated as Phrenapates .
- One of the possible meaning for the word Phrenapates is False Teacher.
- Gameplay and Story Integration: The boss fight against them and Shiroko has several examples.
- During the fight, despite being a targetable enemy, Phrenapates will not take damage from any means due to the protection of the Shittim Chest, just like how Arona protected Sensei from being shot by Kaiser soldiers during their kidnapping.
- As A.R.O.N.A is connected to the Ark of Atra-Hasis's system, Phrenapates can use its defense system to perform combination attacks with Shiroko - Terror.
- Once Shiroko - Terror's HP is depleted until it's near empty, the fight is forced into a second phase, and the transition cutscene shows Phrenapates using the power of their Adult Card to power up Shiroko - Terror, shown as a HUD display with Experience Reports and Pyroxenes being used.
- Finally, if Shiroko - Terror is still alive during the second phase for long enough, the fight goes into Fever Time, where the player's students get increased EX cost regen while Shiroko - Terror casts EX Skills in quick succession, mimicking Tactical Challenge's own Fever Time as the fight is technically a Sensei vs. Sensei fight.
- Good All Along: It's only revealed after Phrenapates defeated that they voluntarily offered their own body to be possessed by the Chroma rather than Anubis. Then Phrenapates' last words are to entrust the care of their students to Sensei, revealing that was their true reason for bringing Anubis to Sensei's dimension.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Voluntarily took up the mantle of the Guider of Colour in order to spare Shiroko/Anubis from being turned into the guide instead.
- Ironic Name: The name, Phrenapates, given to them by the Nameless Priests is meant to carry the meaning of "False Teacher", yet at the end of the day, they've shown nothing but the true qualities of a reliable, adult Sensei, leading students to the right path and denying the role the Priests gave them.
- Malevolent Masked Men: That metallic face? It's just a mask to disguise who Phrenapates actually is.
- Non-Standard Character Design: Even moreso compared to other antagonists in Blue Archive. Their design wouldn't look out of place in a more medieval setting.
- Take Up My Sword: Implores Sensei to "look after our students" in their final moments, entrusting their hope and Adult Card to their still-living counterpart. Phrenapates's Adult Card then becomes the final secret reward of Volume F, but because it has been damaged beyond repair, it can no longer be used as an Adult Card. Using it gives the player 1200 Pyroxenes and the crumbled remains of the card in its place. Because of this, various players preferred to keep the card intact.
- Tragic Keepsake: It's revealed after their death from the Ark's explosion that they've always carried a paper crane, presumably a gift from their students, similar to the one Sensei received that was featured during the last frame of the 1st Anniversary's 3rd PV. Despite their Shittim Chest and Adult Card being damaged beyond repair, the paper crane was relatively intact, implied to be a very important thing to them.
- Tragic Villain: Whether they're carrying out the invasion of the Chroma because they want to or forced to is questionable, as the only reason they became Phrenapates is because they willingly took the Chroma into themselves to protect Shiroko, just so they could eventually be able to convey a message of hope to her along with being able to entrust everything they have left to an alternate counterpart before dying, knowing for sure that they'd come through and do the right thing.
- Reforged into a Minion: This is revealed to have happened to him after he was originally killed, being transformed into the Leader of Color.
Anubis
Shiroko - Terror (Anubis)
The God of Death
A Shiroko that came from an alternate timeline, whose Mystery have been reversed due to contact with Color.
In another timeline, after an incident that destroyed SCHALE and left Sensei in a coma, things take a turn for the worse for the Foreclosure Task Force as their members lose their lives one after another, until Shiroko was the only surviving member of the club. Having to shoulder the debt of Abydos alone until she was battered and broken, she was on the brink of giving up everything until she came into contact with Color, twisting her into the form that she is now, and revealing the Terror behind her Mystery as the God of Death, Anubis. Her goal is to destroy Kivotos and fulfill her purpose as the one who guide every living beings to the other side.
Together with Phrenapates, she serve as the final antagonists of Volume F: Where All Miracles Begin.
- All Your Powers Combined: As this video demonstrates, she packs the EX Skills of both Shirokos and the entire Foreclosure Task Force in her boss fight, bringing out all of them as needed.
- Always a Bigger Fish: To a certain extent, she serves as this to the Foreclosure Task Force; she's one girl, but can bring all their abilities into battle by herself.
- Evil Counterpart: Of Shiroko, right down to carrying the same SIG SG-556 rifle, albeit painted in black.
- Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: "Evil" is a bit of a stretch, but when she is defeated by Shiroko and Sensei, she is unable to understand how did she lose despite having trained more and suffered more than Shiroko while also being backed by the powers of Phrenapates and the Chroma.
- Foreshadowing: Alongside an early appearance during the Prologue in the middle of the GSC President's speech to Sensei, her existence was hinted at all the way back at the end of Volume 1, Chapter 2, when the Wolf God was mentioned by Black Suit as a replacement for Hoshino in his experiments.
- Guilt Complex: Revealed to suffer from an immense case of this. Even as she got corrupted by the Chroma and tried to fulfill her new goal of bringing Kivotos to its end, she could not actually bring herself to kill her timeline's Sensei, and on top of that, her Sensei even took her place to be the Leader of Color in order to shoulder the responsibilities she'd otherwise have to bear.
- Hyperspace Arsenal: Anubis has access to not only both of Shiroko's EX Skills (standard's combat drone and biker's water bottle), but also the entirety of the Foreclosure Task Force's arsenal and EX Skills, both regular and summer.
- Metaphorically True: She claims that she killed the Sensei of her timeline, while in truth he was killed by the Chroma so his body could be used as the new leader. She still blames herself because he died protecting her.
- Not So Stoic: While she is normally serious about her goal, she has shown an unwillingness to face the other members of the Foreclosure Task Force during the assault on the Ark of Atra-Hasis. The moment they managed to catch up to her after she lost to Sensei and Shiroko, she immediately broke down in tears as she recounts the death of her timeline's Foreclosure Task Force.
- Omnicidal Maniac: Her goal is to destroy Kivotos through the invasion of Color.
- Tragic Keepsake: All of the weapons of her friends from the Foreclosure Task Force amount to this, as she keeps them and continues to use their associated EX skills despite their heavily worn appearance, to the point that the insignia of Abydos on these weapons are heavily worn and almost illegible.
- Tragic Villain: She have no joy in carrying Color's invasion, but losing her friend one by one, forced to carry the debt of Abydos by herself to the point of exhaustion, and watching her Sensei takes the role of Leader of Color in her place in order to protect her have left this Shiroko extremely broken and pessimistic, to the point of convincing herself that it is her who have killed Sensei, and that she shouldn't have existed in the first place.
- Walking the Earth: Basically what she decides to do at the end of Volume F, having been saved by Sensei, to travel and see the Kivotos of this world.
- Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: As a result of losing Sensei and all of her friends one by one, being wounded, starved, exhausted, and pushed to the absolute breaking point both physically and mentally, she was chosen by Color and is implied to have destroyed much of Kivotos before being stopped by Sensei/Phrenapates.
- You Can't Fight Fate: As the one who carries the reversed mystery of Anubis, she believes that the existence of Shiroko herself will bring doom to Kivotos.
A.R.O.N.A
- See the folder for Plana in Blue Archive SCHALE page.
Nameless Priests (Spoilers for Volumes 2 and the Final Volume!)
An ancient civilization that supposedly ruled the world before Kivotos existed.
Tropes in General
- The Bad Guy Wins: Not in the main timeline but the Bad Future where it is heavily implied they eventually returned and ended up destroying Kivotos, forcing Shiroko to turn into Anubis, and are able to take control of the Chroma. The only thing that prevents them from succeeding in other timelines is the Chroma ultimately choosing Sensei as its guide, who ultimately entrusted in the player in the end when the Chroma invades the main timeline.
- Big Bad: Are shaping up to be this, as many things that happened in Kivotos can be traced back to them, whether it'd be the awakening of the Ark in Volume 2, or the invasion of the Chroma in Volume F.
- Lost Technology: The cruise missile that was used in the attack against the Treaty of Eden, and the mask that Atsuko wears that can safeguard hers were both made by them. They are also responsible for the machine factory that is currently taken over by Chesed of the Decagrammaton.
- Mecha-Mooks: They had produced these, ranging from Chesed's humanoid automatons and drones, to the unusual Nameless Guardians having tentacles or crawling on multiple limbs.
- Omnicidal Maniac: Seems to be their ultimate goal, to kill the Forgotten Gods in all timelines, without caring that the worlds of said timelines are destroyed in the process.
Priests
The titular Priests of the Nameless Gods, who seemingly mysteriously disappeared alongside their civilization.
- The Ghost: They have yet to show up in person in the main timeline anyway.
- Light Is Not Good: They are all dressed in white robes, masks, and mitre headdresses but they do not have good intentions for the current inhabitants of Kivotos.
- Malevolent Masked Men: They are a group of white masked priests who work towards the end of Kivotos.
- This Cannot Be!: In the Bad Future they are in utter disbelief that instead of Anubis the Chroma would choose Sensei as its guide, who they view as an insignificant being who doesn't contain the Sublime, Terror, or Mystic.
<Key>
An AI whose purpose is to guide Aris to her true purpose as the Princess of the Nameless Gods.
- Affectionate Nickname: Not exactly affectionate given <Key>'s position as an antagonist in Volume 2, but Momoi (uncreatively as she did with Aris) calls the AI "Kay" in Vol. F Chp. 1.
- Color-Coded Eyes: While taking over Aris's body, her eyes are a bright pink, the same color as the pink glow that can be found on the robots of DIVI:SION.
- Heroic Sacrifice: In the Final Volume, she sacrifices herself to save Aris.
- Robot War: The end goal of <Key> and DIVI:SION as a whole is nothing short of wiping out Kivotos with a robot army. Thanks to Rio's Eridu project, they almost pulled it off.
Others
Sukeban
- Japanese Delinquents: All of them are stereotypical types: they all wear face masks, their uniforms would break at least a rule or two in the average Japanese school (like overly-short skirts and open blazers), every single one met in-story all have violent and extortionist dispositions (except for rare ones like those innocently greeting Sensei in Wakamo's Relationship Stories before she bombs them).
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: One of them mentions this line in Problem Solver 68's New Year Rhapsody:Thug 1: Wh-What the...? We didn't even get a chance to have a combat sequence!
- Mooks: They're a common enemy like any other gang-related member.
Kaitengers
Infinite Sushi Sentai Kaitenger
Kaiten FX Mk.0
"The never-ending conveyor belt leads straight to justice!"
A group of criminals in Kivotos. While they claim to fight for justice, they are usually often found causing troubles instead.
- Action Girl: Due to the fact that all students in Kivotos are female, they're all this. This means they also avert tropes common to normal Super Sentai shows like Pink Means Feminine and The Smurfette Principle.
- Large Ham: Nothing they do is small-scale or off-limits to them, and they boast about their actions loud and proud.
- Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Red carries an assault rifle, Black carries a pistol, Green carries a minigun, Yellow wields a sniper rifle and Pink packs a rocket launcher.
- Combining Mecha: The Kaiten FX Mk.0 raid boss introduces the Kaitenger's namesake machine in the fight's second phase. Higher difficulties add on additional abilities for it to use.
- They eventually debut the Mk.1 in the New Year No. 68 event, citing that their old one got destroyed (though the Mk.1 is greatly inferior to Mk.0 due to a lack of budget).
- During the False Sanctum raid event, Sensei decides to pick them as the candidates to fight against the final guardian of the Sanctums. Using the energy of the Sanctums, which can increases the size of anything with a limit of 3 minutes, the Kaiten FX Mk.0 becomes Kaiten FX Mk.∞
- Dirty Coward: In Bounty missions, if you don't take them out fast enough, they'll turn and run away, leaving their allies to deal with your team. Slightly subverted however, as they'll eventually reach the end of the map and forcing them to fight you.
- Edible Theme Naming: Named after conveyor belt sushi (kaitenzushi).
- Evil Counterpart: Some members of the Kaitenger are effectively a mirror of a student from each class of weapon they use.
- Black's pistol can debuff a single student, similar to Akane.
- Green can fire a spray of bullets in a fanning pattern, similar to Nonomi.
- Yellow fires a single high-damage shot, similar to Hasumi.
- Expy: Kaitenger is an expy of Super Sentai.
- Heel–Face Turn: When The Chroma descends upon Kivotos, the Kaitengers help with the defense of Kivotos. Kaiten FX Mk.0, being the only raid boss not affiliated with any of Gematria's research, is consequently not taken over by The Chroma's assault of Gematria and takeover of their mystics as a result.
- Leitmotif: Denshi Toujou! while fighting on foot, and Kaiten Screw!!! when piloting their mecha. Their latest theme for the fight against Perorodzilla is Kaiten Hurricane!!!.
- Theme Music Powerup: During the second phase of their raid mission, when they are piloting the Kaiten FX Mk.0, the BGM changes into Kaiten Screw!!!
- Vigilante Injustice: They can often be found robbing banks and stealing weapons from the black market in order to fund their vigilante activities. During the New Year's Rhapsody No. 68, they robbed the shrine's offering box claiming the money in it will be used for "right and just causes".
- Versus Title: Parodying the trend of Sentai movies having 'Versus' in their titles, the final battle of the False Sanctum raid event is "Kaiten FX Mk.∞ VS Perorodzilla".

- Dirty Coward: He's an incredibly smug person, always talking down to others whenever he feels that he has the advantage. The moment the tables are turned and he gets cornered, he's not afraid to immediately resort to begging or other means in an attempt to butter the heroes up. It never works out.
- Funny Animal: He is an anthropomorphic cat in a Kimono.
- Named After Somebody Famous: He is named after Date Masamune. His real name and nickname make this more obvious: Date Meowsamune and One-Eyed Dragon, respectively.
