Combattler V Characters

Garuda

For Tropes about Garuda in general, see hereThe clone of the original Garuda. He dies after being defeated by Knight Monohorn.

Garuda

Arch-Enemy: His is Knight Monohorn.
Back from the Dead: Garuda was thought to be deceased by the Combattler Team, but this version of him is an artificial clone.
Evil Knockoff: Of the original Garuda.
Master Swordsman: Much like Knight Monohorn, Garuda wields a sword, and the two spar through swordfighting.
Worthy Opponent: He views Knight Monohorn as this, just as his original version viewed Hyouma Aoi, The Leader of the Battle Team as one during Combattler V.

Voltes V Characters

Kenichi Go

For Tropes about Kenichi in general, see here

The Leader of the Voltes Team and the younger brother to Prince Heinel, The Protagonist of Voltes V. He is half-Boazanian and half-human, and leads the Voltes Team. After the Boazanians invaded the Earth, he liberated it from their control and reunited with his long lost father, who was working with the Boazanian resistance. When the Earth is endangered by Jewellion, he and the Voltes Team, led by Professor Sakaonji, work together to protect the planet for a second time.

Kenichi

Ace Pilot: To the titular robot of Voltes V.
Badass Family: Being the second son of Kentaro Go/Prince Gohl, Kenichi is the younger brother to Knight Monohorn, and his Voltes V co-pilots are Daijirou and Hiyoshi.
Blue Blood: Heinel, Marine, Kenichi, Daijiro, and Hiyoshi are the five children of Boazanian Prince Gohl, making them royalty. However, Kenichi doesn't refer to himself as one, nor do Daijiro and Hiyoshi.
Half-Human Hybrid: Kenichi's father, Kentaro, is the Boazanian Prince Gohl, while his mother, Mitsuyo, is an Earthern scientist from Japan.
Leader Forms the Head: Even after Voltes V goes through upgrades and becomes Voltes VII, thus including Heinel (who's arguably more skilled than him in piloting), Kenichi retains his position as The Leader, though he is willing to listen to his older brother when he tells him to go after the original Garuda's more evil clone.
Sibling Team: Him, Daijirou and Hiyoshi form the head, chest and legs of Voltes V respectively. Unbeknownst to him, Knight Monohorn is Heinel, the Alien Prince he acknowledged as a brother before he accepted his death. When he finds out Monohorn's true identity, he welcomes him to the team.

Megumi Oka

For Tropes about Megumi in general, see here

A ninja-in-training who pilots the Volt Lander, and is good friends with the Voltes Team. Kentaro Go was friends with her father, the late General Oka.

Megumi

Adaptational Dyejob: Godbird depicts her with green hair instead of her signature dark blue hair.
Adaptational Wimp: Megumi gets kidnapped by Marine and needs the heroes to save her, while in the original anime, she was a Badass Adorable ninja who could take on multiple Boazanian mooks at once and handle herself.
Damsel in Distress: Courtesy of Marine, Megumi becomes one, Luckily, Heinel intervenes and saves her.
Innocent Fanservice Girl: Similar to the occasional panty shot in Voltes V, Megumi is oblivious to being a source of Fanservice in Victory Five. Except here there's a full on Shower Scene amongst other similarly sensual scenes.

Voltes V

For Tropes about Voltes V in general, see here

The titular robot of Voltes V, created by Kentaro Go.

Voltes VII

Combining Mecha: Voltes V is made by combining five, and later seven, vehicles.^note
Meaningful Rename: After gaining new powers, Voltes V becomes known as Voltes VII, the "VII" being a reference to the Roman numeral for the number 7, which is the same amounts of units it has.
New Powers as the Plot Demands: In Victory Five, Voltes V undergoes an upgrade and gains two new units, the Volt Spinner and the Volt Roller, piloted by Heinel.

Knight Monohorn

Knight Monohorn/Prince Heinel (プリンス・ハイネル )

Knight Monohorn^{Click here to see him unmasked}

^{In Godbird}

The former Arch-Enemy of Kenichi. He used to be the bloodthirsty Prince of the Boazanian Empire, and lead forces to colonize Earth and make it a Boazan colony. He managed to devastate Earth thoroughly, and is responsible for the deaths of many innocents including Mitsuyo Go and General Oka. He also looked down on humans due to them being hornless. Whe he realized Kenichi was his brother, he was disgusted at himself and begged his uncle, The Emperor to stop the war.He was thought to be dead after sacrificing his life to save Kenichi from being burned to death, but unbeknownst to the heroes, he survived and has vowed to atone for his actions ever since. As "Knight Monohorn", Heinel starts a new chapter in his life - one as a comrade, and more importantly, a friend, to the Voltes Team.

The Atoner: In the original anime, Heinel was so ashamed of his actions that he accepted death, believing that he deserved it, despite Kenichi and Kentaro begging him to live. Kentaro couldn't help crying as he watched Heinel burn, in spite of all his actions. In Victory Five, it's revealed that Heinel survived and wishes to be a better man by being the hero that Boazania deserves. The Voltes Team welcome him as a Sixth Ranger, signifying that they accept his change and believe in his inherent goodness.
- One of his biggest acts of atonement is saving Kentaro Go, when in the original anime he tried to kill him many times.
Big Damn Heroes: Heinel rescues Megumi from his sister's imprisonment.
Blue Blood: Heinel, Marine, Kenichi, Daijiro, and Hiyoshi are the five children of Boazanian Prince Gohl, making them royalty. However since Heinel is the oldest, he is the heir to the throne.
Blue Is Heroic: His mink coat and armour is blue. Subverted as he was initially a tyrant before his Heel–Face Turn.
Cain and Abel: It turns out that Heinel has a Cain of his own, in the form of Marine. When she was born, Heinel's grandparents had her given away to an aristocrat ruling family of another planet, as in Boazania, it is a custom that twins are unlucky. It is also a Boazanian custom to hate your twin, and Marine despises Heinel. She is a cruel, horned noble who enjoys hurting humans (much like Heinel at the beginning of the series), and Heinel stands up to her cruelty and the Voltes Team helps him defeat her.
Cultural Rebel: Sort of. Heinel states that he doesn't view himself as a noble or a commoner, and that his position "stands between the two".^note
Dramatic Unmask: During his spar with Garuda, his mask is broken, revealing his true identity to the Voltes Team. This doesn't bother them and they welcome him as one of their own.
Guyliner: The art style of the manga doesn't reflect it as well as the original anime did, but it's there.
Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: He is blonde, and protects the Earth as well as Boazania.
Have We Met?: When he delivers the Volt Roller and Volt Spinner to the Voltes Team, Kenichi doesn't recognize him, but has a feeling that he's heard his voice before.
Heroic Sacrifice: Yes, again. After defeating Marine, Heinel has a duel with Garuda, and though he defeats him, the ship they're on explodes, killing him. Luckily, he gets better.
Hero-Worshipper: Heinel has a Fanboy-like worship of Godol, because of the fact that Godol saved Boazania aeons ago when it was at its Darkest Hour. As Knight Monohorn, he wears armour that heavily resembles Godol's. He also pilots him.
Humans Through Alien Eyes: Being Boazanian, Heinel misunderstands Earthern customs, such as sushi restaurants.
Interspecies Friendship: With Kento Tate, the main pilot of Daltanious and the half-Helosian, half-Earthling son of Prince Harlin/Hayato Tate.
Like Father, Like Son: Like his father, Gohl, Heinel wants to be a bridge between the Horned and Hornless Boazanians.
Long-Haired Pretty Boy: The manga enjoys reminding you he's one based on several different shots.
Meaningful Rename: "Mono" means "one", and his name is Knight Monohorn since he broke off his left horn. What separates "Mono" from other prefix "uni" is that Mono typically means to refer to someone/something that is alone, while "uni" is used to refer to things that are one and only.
No One Could Survive That!: In a similar twist to Kentaro in the original anime, Heinel is secretly alive after he seemingly vanished in the flames, and has been doing good deeds to redeem himself ever since.
Pretty Boy: Heinel retains his bishie prettiness in Victory Five, and we get a lot of panels focusing on his facial features, like this.
Red Baron: Knight Monohorn. According to him, it's because hes "a citizen without horns and a citizen with horns".
Red Is Heroic: In one volume cover, Heinel is depicted as red, while Garuda, the volume's antagonist, is depicted as blue.
Sibling Team: Heinel, Kenichi, Daijirou and Hiyoshi are paternal half-brothers through Gohl. However, while Heinel is full Boazanian, the Go brothers have a human mother.
Sixth Ranger: He is quite literally the sixth member of the Voltes Team, who hold no hard feelings towards him for his past actions and welcome him as an ally. He commands the Volt Roller and the Volt Spinner.
Tsurime Eyes: They're very apparent in Godbird.
Unicorn: Knight Monohorn rides one. Fittingly enough, both have one horn.

Jewellion

Jewellion (ジュエリオン)

Jewellion

^Close-up

A mysterious figure who desires war between Earth, Boazania and Baam.

Angelic Aliens: Jewellion has bird-like wings due to her Baamite heritage.
Alas, Poor Villain: While she kidnapped and abused several people and potentially reduced all efforts to achieve world peace to nothing, Kenichi admits that he feels sympathy for Jewellion because of her Dark and Troubled Past.
Arch-Enemy: Jewellion despises Kazuya Ryuzaki and Erika because they act as a bridge between different alien races and enourage peace, therefore making her desire of war that would tear the planets apart.
Artificial Planet: She created one, known as Planet Dunant. It is heavily fortified, and hostile to any outsiders.
Dark and Troubled Past: Jewellion was the child of a Boazanian and a Baamite. They were executed because Boazania and the Baam Empire were going through a bloody war at the time. After their corpses were put on display, they were subjected to Unperson. The Boazanians and Baamites also tried to annihilate Jewellion and Bellion, who were the result of this Interspecies Romance, and left no stone unturned in hunting them down so that they could kill them, focring them to flee to an artificial planet. Full of bitterness and hatred for the Boazanians and Baamites, Jewellion spent 3000 years working towards plotting the demise of both.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Her last words were of her sister's name, even though earlier she kidnapped her.
Fantastic Racism: Jewellion's parents were a Baamite and Boazanian who fell in love with each other in spite of Baam and Boazania having a war at the time. They advocated for peace, saying that the war should end. Dubbed as traitors by both of their planets, they were killed, and their corpses were displayed to set an example for everyone else. Their children (Jewellion and her sister) were deemed as "abominations" by both the Boazanians and Baamites, and when they tried to escape, their spaceship was shot down. Presumed to be dead, Jewellion and Bellion escaped to an artificial planet, while the former began accumulating vast amounts of military power in order to get revenge.
Horns of Villainy: Like most Horned Boazanians, Jewellion has two on either side of her head.
I Have Your Wife: Jewellion holds multiple delegates and world leader hostage, and her ransom price is a thousand heads of Earthling, Boazanian or Baamite citizens every 100 days.
Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Jewellion is a Boazanian-Baamite warlord that pilots mecha.

Chiri

Chiri/Bellion, チリ（ベリオン）

Chiri

^{In Godbird}

Jewellion's younger sister, who was originally sent to the Magnebird to sabotage them and gather information on their pilots. Upon arriving to Earth, she lost her memories and befriended the pilots of Magnebird. Once she remembered she was Jewellion's sister, she turned against her.

Ascended Extra: Despite being a Canon Immigrant to the Robot Romance Trilogy, Bellion became a recurring main character of several chapters of its sequel manga. She even pilots Phobos at one point when Erika is unavailable.
Cain and Abel: While Bellion wants interplanetary peace, Jewellion wants the destruction of Baam and Boazania. Subverted as Bellion was originally in agreement with Jewellion, but befriending the heroes made her realize that not every Boazanian/Baamite/Earthling is what Jewellion says they are.
Cry into Chest: When Hyouma discovers her, she collapses into his chest and cries while he holds her. It kickstarts her Precocious Crush on him.
Dark and Troubled Past: Her parents were a Boazanian and a Baamite. They were executed because Boazania and the Baam Empire were going through a bloody war at the time. After their corpses were put on display, they were subjected to Un-person. The Boazanians and Baamites also tried to annihilate Jewellion and Bellion, who were the result of this Interspecies Romance, and left no stone unturned in hunting them down so that they could kill them. They went as far as to shoot a spaceship the sisters tried to escape in.
Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Bellion/Chiri is a sweet-natured girl with blonde hair and green eyes. She resonates with Kenichi's heroic personality, Kazuya and Erika's romance and Hyouma's courage.
Identity Amnesia: When Hyouma discovers her, she has no idea of who she is and what her purpose in coming to Earth was.
Interspecies Romance: Bellion is Boazanian/Baamite and has a crush on Hyouma. Unfortunately for her, her likes Chizuru.
Line-of-Sight Name: Due to the fact that she doesn't remember her name, she is nicknamed "Chiri" (the Japanese word for "bell") because of the bell she wears.
Ms. Fanservice: Hyouma discovers her when she's butt-naked in an empty field. Kind of squick because she looks like a child...
Older Than They Look: She looks like a pre-teen girl (and is inches smaller than Hyouma), but she and Jewellion are both thousands of years old.
Really 700 Years Old: She looks like a child, but she and Jewellion are over 3000 years old. For most of her life, Bellion was unconscious, until Jewellion's plan for revenge was ready.

Marine (Unmarked Spoilers)

Marine

The younger twin sister of Prince Heinel (therefore, the elder sister of Kenichi, Daijirou and Hiyoshi). She was raised by the aristocrats of another planet due to an ancient Boazanian custom stating that twins are bad luck. Marine heads her own invasion of Earth, and Heinel and the Voltes Team unite to defeat her.

Alien Princess: While she wasn't raised on Boazania, unlike her older twin brother, Heinel, Marine is this. It was only until she came of age when she returned to the Planet.
Cain and Abel: It turns out that Heinel has a Cain of his own, in the form of Marine. When she was born, Heinel's grandparents had her given away to an aristocrat ruling family of another planet, as in Boazania, it is a custom that twins are unlucky. It is also a Boazanian custom to hate your twin, and Marine despises Heinel. She is a cruel, horned noble who enjoys hurting humans (much like Heinel at the beginning of the series), and Heinel stands up to her cruelty and the Voltes Team helps him defeat her.
Canon Immigrant: She isn't canon to the anime and debuted in the official Voltes V sequel manga Victory Five.
Chain Pain: She tortures Megumi by forcing a chain around her neck and pulling it.
Evil Princess: She is an unpleasant, homicidal Glory Hound who wants to take over the Earth.
Evil Twin: Subverted. Heinel wasn't so different from her for most of the series's canon, but he underwent a Heel–Face Turn and swore to atone for his past once he found out that Kentaro was his father and gave Lozaria his dagger. Marine, on the other hand, knows Heinel is her older twin brother and still chooses to fight against him.
Fan Disservice: She may be an attractive noble who dresses in a Gorgeous Period Dress with a Cleavage Window...but she's also insanely violent and takes pleasure in hurting innocent people, including children.
Glory Hound: Everything Marine does is for the sake of her own glory and nothing else, regardless of how reckless it is.
Half-Identical Twins: Averted. Heinel and Marine look nothing alike. Marine has more of a physical resemblance to Gohl's mother (her paternal grandmother) than anyone else in the family.
High Collar of Doom: Much like her twin brother, who wears a dark blue mantle with a snowflake collar, Marine wears a dress that has thick ruffles around her neckline.
Horns of Villainy: Marine's horns are curled and resemble that of a sheep's.
Kick the Dog: During battle, Marine kidnaps Megumi and has her enslaved. She makes her suffer by pulling the chains around her neck, reducing her to a helpless Damsel in Distress. Upon seeing the reactions of the Voltes Team, Marine becomes filled with joy.
Requisite Royal Regalia: Befitting for an Alien Princess (and wannabe Queen), Marine holds a scepter.
Lady of War: Subverted. Marine is far from a "Lady", but like Heinel, she's a skilled warmonger.
One Twin Must Die: Marine believes in this, and has despised Heinel since birth despite never meeting him. She intends to take his place for the throne.
Pimped-Out Dress: She is a Boazanian noble, after all.
Sadist: She views humans as below her and maltreats Megumi as if it's entertainment. Unfortunately for her, Heinel rescues Megumi.
Sibling Murder: Marine desires to kill Heinel for the glory of Boazania. She ends up dying by his hand instead. She also wants to kill the Voltes Team, three members of who are her younger half-brothers.
Would Hurt a Child: She subjects Megumi to chain torture while taunting her comrades. But Heinel intervenes and saved Megumi.
