GHQ was created by the UN to control Japan during and after Lost Christmas. Their headquarters, the 24th Ward, is based in a mega-structure, built on the reclaimed land off Tokyo Bay and can be seen as a symbol of Japan after the "Lost Christmas" event. Few dared to challenge GHQ, save for a group of terrorists who form the resistance group Funeral Parlor.

In General
- 0% Approval Rating: Towards the end of the series, when the UN discovers that Keido covered up the truth about what happened years ago, they can no longer trust GHQ and decide to bombard Japan to stop the Apocalypse Virus from causing another catastrophe.
- Badass Army: The GHQ packs serious firepower in their armies.
- Day of the Jackboot: After the "Lost Christmas" event in 2029, the UN organized GHQ to restore order in Japan at the cost of its freedom and independence.
- The Dreaded: The Anti-Bodies are widely feared by Japanese citizens, who dub them the "white clothes."
- For the Evulz: GHQ's pointless massacre in Episode 1 and 2, and an open-air execution or two later on. Both were counter-productive insofar as they did nothing to endear the organisation to the natives, but the first was particularly egregious given that they could've spent their time and effort actually searching for the Void Genome instead.
- Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: All GHQ personnel are lousy shooters. Especially the professional soldiers.
- Light Is Not Good: The Anti-Bodies tend to wear white clothes, especially Keido himself.
- MegaCorp: The GHQ is so powerful and influential that it provides water and food supplies to Japan.
- Standard Sci-Fi Army: Definitely expected from the GHQ. In addition to the standard foot soldier battalions, Endlaves provide ground support and the Anti-Bodies serve as one of its quarantine units.
- Unwitting Pawn: The GHQ was nothing more than a tool for Keido and Da'ath to play into their plans for releasing the Apocalypse Virus.
- Villain with Good Publicity: The organization is seemingly popular within Japan, given that it was established by the UN to restore order there.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: While the GHQ's methods may seem harsh, they point out that they were necessary to quell the chaos of the Apocalypse Virus, and that the people they target are those who refuse to be inoculated against it.
- Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters: Funeral Parlor views GHQ as an oppressive foreign regime that's in place more to research the virus than they are to contain it.
Leadership
General Yan
Voiced by: Takaya Hashi (Japanese), Jerry Russell (English)
The Commander-In-Chief of the GHQ and Shuichiro Keido's superior.

- Character Death: He and Emily are shot down by Daryl in episode 10 as part of Keido's coup.

- Greater-Scope Villain: As GHQ's commander, he presides over all the military forces occupying Japan including the Anti-Bodies which are in direct conflict with the series' protagonists. Subverted midway in the series when the series Big Bad, Shuichiro Keido, overthrows him in a coup and seizes control over GHQ.
- It's All About Me: Despite being entrusted with the Japanese people's welfare, he is content to let his forces regularly oppress them while focusing on advancing his political fortunes. Similarly, he regularly neglects his son in order to pursue an affair with his secretary.

Shuichiro Keido
Voiced by: Kazuhiko Inoue (Japanese), Charles Campbell (English)

- Better to Die than Be Killed: When Haruka has him at gun-point, rather than surrender and face trial, he injects himself with an extremely potent version of the Apocalypse Virus, to deny her the satisfaction of either arresting him or shooting him.

- Green-Eyed Monster: He became envious of Kurosu when the latter's successes surpassed Keido's own to the point that he eventually killed Kurosu.
- The Heavy: His actions on behalf of GHQ for the alleged purpose of containing the Apocalypse Virus are the driving source of conflict throughout the series. In the story's second half, it turns out that he's secretly been aiding Da'ath, the Greater-Scope Villain, in their conspiracy to find a suitable mate for Mana and cause another disaster with the virus.

When he finally encounters a threat to his massive ego in the form of Kurusu Ohma, he exhibits no qualms experimenting on vast numbers of orphans just to ensure that his research surpasses that of his rival. Eventually, his realization that Kurosu's brilliance exceeds his own drives him to dedicating his entire existence to destroying Kurosu's legacy even if it means bringing about the world's destruction.
- Omnicidal Maniac: He seeks to cause Earth's destruction not only as part of Da'ath's Evil Plan, but also to destroy Kurosu's influence.
- Perpetual Frowner: Aside from the occasional Psychotic Smirk, he hardly ever displays any signs of mirth.
- Pet the Dog: During his flashback in Episode 20, he admits there was a time when he genuinely valued Kurosu Ohma's friendship while working together as colleagues.
- President Evil: He's the leader of GHQ's Anti-Bodies division and he eventually becomes the President of Japan by the time episode 13 rolls around.
- Pride: He's an exceedingly arrogant scientist.
- Sore Loser: When Kurosu was able to unlock the secrets of the Apocalypse Virus by himself, Keido kills him and then steals the data to then spit on Kurosu's legacy by trying to exterminate mankind on behalf of Da'ath. In the final episode of the series, after Haruka confronts Keido, the latter commits suicide to negate her victory and avoid facing humanity's judgment for his crimes.
- The Starscream: Despite providing his services to GHQ for the alleged purpose of eradicating the Apocalypse Virus, he secretly plans to use the organization's resources to unleash the Virus upon the world. Additionally, after revealing that he is secretly working with Da'ath, Keido confesses that he only intended to help GHQ cause the outbreak in order to completely destroy Kurosu's legacy.
- Start of Darkness: Upon learning that Kurosu's children will become the progenitors of mankind following the Fourth Apocalypse, Keido's respect for Kurosu degenerates into an envy-fuelled obsession to provide Da'ath with an "Adam" of his own regardless of the cost.
- The Stoic: He has a very professional demeanor and most events don't impact him that much.
- Tyrant Takes the Helm: He seizes power from the Japanese government following its collapse.
- Would Hurt a Child: Is more than willing to start, fund, and run an experimental facility where countless young boys are tortured and even killed in horrific experiments involving the Apocalypse Virus, especially Gai of all people.
- You Have Failed Me: He suffers this from Yu after Shu foils his Adam and Eve Plot. While we're not shown exactly what does happen, it has him screaming in pain with blood splashing on the screen from his POV.
Anti-Bodies
Major Makoto Waltz Segai
Voiced by: Nobutoshi Canna (Japanese), John Swasey (English)
Click here to see his younger self
- "Today is a party! No need to hold back! Make the bullets pour down like rain!"
A GHQ anti-drug officer with an impressive arrest record, brought in to take on the Funeral Parlor. Member of the elite 'Anti Bodies'.
- All Your Base Are Belong to Us: He led the assault on Funeral Parlor's headquarters.
- Bad Boss: In the fourth episode, he stops a GHQ soldier from shooting Shu and Inori (because he wanted to watch Shu extracting Inori's void), then nonchalantly shoots him in the head.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Though he's fairly good at keeping his various quirks away from his superiors' notice.
- Casting Gag: Doesn't he remind you of a certain white haired medic with a hidden agenda?
- Character Death: Shu kills Segai just as the latter is about to use a semi-truck to run Ayase over.
- The Chessmaster: He's the one behind every schemes for Keido, including the plans to hunt down Funeral Parlor.
- Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: It would be easier to compile a list of people he hasn't betrayed at some point. Luckily for him, most of them either haven't noticed yet or are too dead to care.
- Combat Pragmatist: More than happy to bring a gun to a fistfight, as Eagleman finds out.
- Death by Irony: He is killed by Shu using Yahiro's Void. Yahiro had a younger brother who was infected, which they both once escaped from GHQ back in Episode 9, only that Jun is killed at the end of that episode with the events manipulated by Segai himself. Shu finally avenges Jun's death as part of his atonement.
- Dissonant Serenity: Often Played for Laughs. Segai is a very laid-back guy, even catching the odd nap during combat operations.
- Doomed by Canon: In Lost Christmas, Makoto can't be killed in any of Scrooge's battles, since he dies in the series proper.
- Electronic Eyes: His left eye is artificial.
- Evil Genius: Segai is The Chessmaster and using several other plans against Funeral Parlor.
- Eye Scream: He loses his eye after being struck by a random shard during the Scrooge vs Present fight.
- Faux Affably Evil: An expert at unnerving and intimidating prisoners with seemingly friendly, innocuous comments. Among other things, he somehow manages to make asking for help with his crossword sinister.
- Foregone Conclusion: In Lost Christmas, Makoto losing his eye was a given.
- Good Scars, Evil Scars: A prominent one under his left eye, which is probably a trace of the way he lost his eyeball.
- Hidden Agenda Villain: Even after the faction he's supposed to be working for plays its hand. His motives turn out to be very simple in the end—he's just fascinated by Void Genomes, Shu's in particular.
- That's what he says in his latest appearance anyway. However, it's difficult to trust the statements of a person whose last name literally means "Lies".
- In Love with Your Carnage: While Shu extracting Voids doesn't necessarily count as carnage, Segai's reaction to his displays of power certainly falls under this trope.Segai: Beautiful!
- In-Series Nickname: "Scarface," courtesy of Eagleman.
- Insult Backfire: In Episode 14.Rowan: You're a perverse man, Sir.Segai: Please, don't compliment me too much.
- Love at First Sight: The first time he sees Shu use his Void Genome.
- Love Makes You Crazy: One of his primary goals is to see Shu's Genome in action as much as possible. His organisation's objectives and his own personal safety are very much secondary.
- Manipulative Bastard: It comes with the job.
- Obviously Evil: Seriously, look at him.
- Pastimes Prove Personality: Subverted. You wouldn't believe a man like him who enjoys crossword puzzles and plays on his cellphone can be so sinister.
- Pragmatic Villainy: Understands the importance of treating potential informants nicely.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: With his superior, Eagleman, and his subordinate, Daryl. In both cases, he's the blue.
- Red Right Hand: His artificial eye and the associated scar.
- Shame If Something Happened: He almost never makes an overt threat. He'll just mention things like how unpleasant prison food is, or how someone should really talk to that poor Idol Singer about those nasty terrorists who are hoodwinking her, and maybe ask for her help in stopping them. The message, of course, is entirely obvious.
- The Sociopath: A unique high-functioning example. While initially introduced as an Ambiguously Evil GHQ officer, it increasingly becomes clear that he is a highly sadistic Psycho for Hire who commits countless atrocities merely for his own amusement and harbors no loyalties or emotional attachments to anyone but himself (See Chronic Backstabbing Disorder and Wild Card).
- Torture Technician: Though it's seldom his first resort.
- Wild Card: It swiftly becomes apparent that the only person whose side he's on is one Makoto Waltz Segai.
- Would Hit a Girl: He has no qualms about shooting women, made evident when he interrogates a nun while sticking his gun in her mouth. He then tries to shoot Haruka but is thwarted by Dan.
Captain Andrei Rowan
Voiced by: Naoya Nosaka (Japanese), Kyle Phillips (English)
A GHQ Anti Bodies Intel officer.
- Butt-Monkey: Has a few shades of this.
- Character Death: He sacrifices himself to save Daryl's life.
- Heroic Sacrifice: In Episode 22, he rescues Daryl and pushes him into an elevator, getting fatally shot by soldiers as a result.
- Nice Guy: He stoically puts up with Daryl's periodic abuse and looks quite loyal to him. Which makes him do a Heroic Sacrifice for him at the end.
- Only Sane Man: He is the least quirky person in GHQ.
- Power of Trust: He saves Daryl in the thought that deep down Daryl is a nice guy.
- Punch-Clock Villain: He's horrified by the slaughter when the Antibodies begin contracting the Quarantine Zone.
- Redemption Equals Death: It's how he atones for helping GHQ.
Military
Major Guin
Voiced by: Tomoyuki Shimura (Japanese), Brandon Potter (English)
- Bald of Evil: He has no hair and is a villain.
- Character Death: Shu uses Daryl's void to deflect Guin's own laser and kill him.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Guin tries to use a laser on Gai, but Shu uses Daryl's void to blast it right back at him.
- Starter Villain: Serves as this for the series proper.
Lieutenant Daryl Yan
Voiced by: Kōki Uchiyama (Japanese), Joel McDonald (English)
- "I'll do as I please, got it? And if you get in my way... I'll tell Papa on you."
A juvenile officer with the rank of Lieutenant, Daryl is GHQ Endlave pilot and the son Major General Yan, the Commander-in-Chief of the GHQ forces.
His Void is the Kaleidoscope, a gun that shoots beehive barriers.
- Because You Were Nice to Me: His attachment to Tsugumi comes from how she (in her own way) treated him with kindness and gave him a candied apple as an award for (reluctantly) helping her. Judging from his background, she might be the first person to treat him sincerely kindly in his life.
- Beehive Barrier: His Void.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: In Episode 22.
- Character Development: First depicted as an unstable, Axe-Crazy Military Brat that could very easily go on a murderous rampage. Later on he shows a degree of honor and determination. By Episode 22, however, he has been rendered even more mentally unstable and wants to return to his old ways, convincing himself that killing Tsugumi and Funeral Parlor is the only way to revert to "Daryl the Butcher". After that, his development status is unknown, although he seems to have snapped from the frenzy.
- Clark Kenting: More justifiable than most. As an Endlave pilot (even if an unusually notorious one), not many people would know his face anyway. As an additional element, he also wears glasses as part of his costume.
- Combat Aestheticist: Considers killing from a distance to be "unartistic," which is why he likes to be close to the frontlines even when he's remote-controlling his Endlave.
- Daddy Issues: It's hard not to feel a little bad for the guy after seeing his father's attitude towards him, and watching him struggle through enduring his neglect.
- Deadpan Snarker: His main passtime when he's not piloting.
- Declaration of Protection: In Episode 18, he decides to protect Tsugumi and attacks the other Ghost Units because one of them threatens Tsugumi and provides a diversion long enough for Funeral Parlor to escape.
- Deflector Shields: His Void.
- Even Evil Has Standards:
- Doesn't like Keido's "purify those outside the red line" policy. Though, it should be noted that this is for artistic, not ethical, reasons. It's just way too mechanical for his tastes.
- He refuses to protect a revived Gai Tsutsugami, though this is mainly due to still feeling that Gai is the enemy, Tsugumi getting threatened indirectly because of Gai, and him blaming Gai for having to kill his father.
- Expy:
- A reckless blond-haired pilot who gets frustrated with the protagonists, so much that he joins them in the end? Sounds like he needs some Spiral Power.
- He could pass by an evil Gino Weinberg, given their similar hair, high families and Ace Pilot skill.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: In his first few appearances, he has a very violent temper. Since coming under Segai's command, he appears to have been put on a tighter leash, resulting in less of his trademark psychotic outbursts and more snarking from the sidelines.
- Hates Being Touched: He mentions a fear of infection at one point, but since he's just as leery about physical contact with clearly uninfected people, it seems to be an excuse for true fear of human contact.
- Heel–Face Revolving Door: As of Episode 21 and Episode 22.
- In-Series Nickname: "Daryl the Butcher"
- Insult of Endearment: He calls Tsugumi "runt". When Daryl, piloting his Endlave, calls her this nickname as he defends Funeral Parlor and her from the Ghost Units, it tips her off on who he is.
- Kick the Dog: Is a constant offender of this, from beating (and killing) a civilian woman for touching him in Episode 2 to attempting to kill Tsugumi and Funeral Parlor in Episode 22.
- Kick the Morality Pet: In Episode 22, a maddened Daryl tries to kill Tsugumi to change back to his old self.
- Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe: His father says he isn't sure Daryl is his son because his mother was "a no-good woman".
- Military Brat: His father is the Commander-in-Chief of the GHQ. However, it's hinted at in Episode 8 that he might not even be his father's child at all. At least, this is what his father thinks.
- Mr. Fanservice: His outfit when piloting his endlave displays his toned and athletic physique. Most notably,when asked in episode 21 why he is continuing to fight by Rowen, the animators prominently highlight the fact that he's a chiseled, handsome young man.
- My God, What Have I Done?: He has a small moment in Episode 22 when Rowan rescuing him leads to the former's death. It serves to snap him out of his madness.
- The Nicknamer: He calls Shu a "faceless bastard" because he can't see the later's face on his Endlave monitor until Episode 11. He later calls Tsugumi a "runt," which seems to be doubling as an Affectionate Nickname.
- Odd Name Out: His is the only Void to have a name, which is probably a codename given to it by Gai.
- Pet the Dog: His Ship Tease with Tsugumi causes him to not attack Funeral Parlor in Episode 14, feel concerned for her well-being in Episode 15, and outright defend her and betray the Ghost Units in Episode 18.
- Psychopathic Manchild: At the beginning of the series at least. While he's calmed down a bit since then, he still shows traces of his trademark bloodlust as evidenced in Episode 22 when he attempts to destroy Funeral Parlor.
- Redemption Failure: His Heel–Face Turn in protecting Tsugumi and allowing Funeral Parlor to escape the Ghost Units in Episode 18 results in his imprisonment and having his Void taken, replaced with an experimental device to serve as a replacement. Due to these events, he loses his head and becomes convinced that it is Tsugumi's fault that he isn't his "Daryl the Butcher" self anymore, and decides that getting rid of her would change him back to the way he was. At the end, he seems to have regained his conscience, specially after seeing Rowan die to save him.
- Self-Made Orphan: In Episode 11, he kills his father. Justified in a good measure.
- Ship Tease: With Tsugumi. We have no idea what came of it, as he doesn't appear in the epilogue.
- Terrified of Germs: May just be an excuse for an underlying discomfort to be with people. See the Hates Being Touched entry above.
- Tsundere: Type A. He shows shades of this towards Tsugumi.
- Uptight Loves Wild: His personality and Tsugumi's could not be more different.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: He does not appear in the epilogue, nor is mentioned. It is even ambiguous on whether he survives or not to the crumbling of the GHQ building, although he presumably does thanks to Rowan's sacrifice.
- The Worf Effect: He is one-shotted every single time he faces Shu.
Colonel Dan Eagleman
Voiced by: Tsuguo Mogami (Japanese), Patrick Seitz (English)
An American colonel working for the GHQ.
- Affably Evil: Unlike Segai and Daryl, he's a very nice guy and treats his subordinates like a football coach and genuinely believes that the GHQ are helping Japan.
- Catchphrase: "Guts!"
- Character Death: After Dan rescues Haruka during Keido's coup, he gets crystallized and is shot down by Segai.
- Eaglelander: Type 2. Seemingly naive and a bit racist, he employs a ridiculous (if only unsuccessful due to Arisa's Void) strategy to obliterate a private yacht to kill the handful of Funeral Parlor members and allies that are on the ship, hundreds of innocents (and a few GHQ members, at that) be damned. He embraces a bit of the more positive side of this trope in his Heroic Sacrifice, when he attacks Segai for pointing a gun at an innocent woman.
- Heroic Sacrifice: After rescuing Haruka from Segai, Segai kills him.
- Laughably Evil: Probably the least serious character, and certainly the least serious villain, in the entire series.
- The Nicknamer: In fact, it's something of a surprise whenever he remembers a subordinate's real name.
- Twinkle Smile: Complete with Audible Gleam

- Easily Forgiven: The members of Funeral Parlor forgive Haruka for her recent actions as a former member of GHQ.
- Et Tu, Brute?: Her reaction to her brother revealing that he murdered Kurosu and that Mana never existed.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Haruka is disgusted with helping GHQ doing bad things to Shu and steadily grows distrustful of Keido after realizing his true motives and this along with several other factors leads to her Heel–Face Turn.
- First-Name Basis: Shu calls her by her first name.
- The Glomp: She glomps Shu a lot, given how she raised him since he was a child.
- Heel–Face Turn: In Episode 19, she turns on Keido and hightails it out of GHQ while she still can.
- Love Makes You Evil: Following the wishes of Shu's father leads her to create the Ghost Units that oppose Shu. She also reveals later that most of her actions during the lockdown were a Batman Gambit to rid Shu of his Void Genome and hopefully save his life.
- Ms. Fanservice: She walks around the house in her underwear, much to Shu's exasperation. She still does so when he has Inori over.

- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In the first half of episode 19, Haruka opts to leave GHQ for good and rides off on a stolen motorcycle.
- Shower of Angst: Despite willingly helping GHQ and doing a lot of nasty things to Shu, she clearly doesn't enjoy any of it, and can be seen breaking down in tears while in the shower. More than anyone else, she's utterly furious at Keido after finding out just how petty and self-centered his motivations truly are.
- Teacher/Student Romance: Her husband Kurosu turns out to have been her professor during her university years.
