!''Edens One''
The successor to the ''Edens Zero'', which was built to serve as its prototype. It is superior to the ''Zero'' in every way, and serves to ferry Demon King Ziggy and spread his will across the universe.
[[folder:In General]]
* CoolShip: The ship is modeled after a ''[[UsefulNotes/StockDinosaursNonDinosaurs Dunkleosteus]]'', a ferocious, prehistoric fish that's said to make great whites look tame by comparison.
* SinkingShipScenario: The ship was destroyed off-screen prior to Rebecca's time leap, with the steering wheel being the only sign of it left.
* SuperiorSuccessor: According to Ziggy, the ''Edens Zero'' is a prototype for the ''Edens One'', which is the ship he intends to use to conquer the universe. When the two ships clash, it's a CurbStompBattle in the ''One''[='=]s favor.
* ThereIsAnother: It comes as a shock to Connor that his own ship isn't the only one in the universe with the name "''Edens''".

!!Demon King's Four Dark Stars
The Demon King's Four Dark Stars are the next generation of androids to the Four Shining Stars of ''Edens Zero'', said to be more advanced than their counterparts.
[[folder:In General]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/8dde059c_9680_4624_868d_2e90f579c5f8.png]]

* AmazonBrigade: GenderInverted. Whereas the Four Shining Stars are all female, the Four Dark Stars are all male.
* DarkIsEvil: The word "[[DubNameChange dark/black]]" is an actual part of their name, and they are the Demon King's post-FaceHeelTurn minions. Most of them also [[EvilWearsBlack dress in black and grey]] for good measure, with the exception of [[BrightIsNotGood Clown]].
* DomainHolder: They can freely manipulate Killer's subdimension programs however they wish, from changing the environment to trapping people in seemingly inescapable prisons to even [[spoiler:creating illusions of loved ones]]. Though all of them possess this power, Brigandine [[WillfullyWeak chooses]] not to use it since he prefers combat to be as fair as possible.
* DubNameChange: Their Japanese name, ''Shikokusei'' (四黒星), more accurately means "Four Black Stars".
* ForgottenFriendNewFoe: [[spoiler:Turns out each one of them had a personal connection to their respective Shining Star counterpart, but Ziggy erased their memories. Shiki suspects Ziggy knew he would become an enemy and needed the Dark Stars and Shining Stars to forget their past relationships so they could fight each other without hesitation.]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler: Shiki's fight with Wizard reveals that like their Shining Stars counterparts, they had certain memories removed by Ziggy, including memories where they knew the Shining Stars, with Shiki believing it was to hide something.]]
* ThePsychoRangers: They're the {{Evil Counterpart}}s to the Four Shining Stars. [[spoiler: Although, Shiki's peek into Wizard's lost memories imply that they weren't originally.]]
* SpearCounterpart: They're an all-male group whose members reflect the all-female Shining Stars.
* SuperiorSuccessor: According to Ziggy, they're meant to be more advanced compared to the Four Shining Stars.
* WasOnceAMan: [[spoiler:During his encounter with them, Shiki makes their memories "fall" into him and it's revealed that not only did they know the Shining Stars but all of them, Shining Stars included, were once human, though Ziggy erased this from their memories for some unknown reason.]]
* WorfEffect: To Ziggy's surprise, [[spoiler:Jaguar takes out both Brigandine and Killer with minimal issue, only taking minor damage from getting surprised by them.]]

The Spear of Edens, a sorcerer android with incredible mastery over magic.
----
* {{Bishonen}}: He's built to resemble a handsome young man.
* EvilCounterpart: He's the Four Dark Stars counterpart to Witch.
* EyesAlwaysShut: He usually keeps his eyes closed, similar to how Witch normally covers most of her face. He does occasionally, however, open his eyes when casting magic.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: He has long hair and is quite easy on the eyes compared to his contemporaries.
* MagicStaff: He casts his Ether spells with a long staff.
* ManaDrain: One of his most devastating moves is "Drain Ether", which allows him to absorb the Ether of his opponent upon physical contact, simultaneously weakening his foe while strengthening himself and allowing him to quickly turn the tables on even a superior opponent. [[spoiler:It can even work on something as intense as Shiki's Overdrive state, though a key weakness is that he can only absorb as much Ether as his foe is putting out and he needs to consciously activate it. While he disabled Shiki even in Overdrive, he's blindsided when Shiki suddenly powers back up and takes him down in an instant, and he's further floored when Shiki reveals he was only using a ''tenth'' of his full power at first.]]
* MythologyGag: [[spoiler: The way he's defeated is similar to God Serena from ''Manga/FairyTail'' when he tried to take on Acnologia who effortlessly dispatched Serena in one hit.]]
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Unlike his peers, Wizard believes that the ''Edens Zero'' and its crew could grow to become a considerable threat if allowed to live. [[spoiler:When he fights Shiki on Lendard, Wizard's first move is a [[MasterOfIllusion psychological attack]] to get in close enough to strike his vulnerable opponent which only barely fails, and later when Shiki goes [[SuperMode Overdrive]] Wizard neutralizes it as soon as he can with [[ManaDrain Drain Ether]] before his foe can turn the tide with a decisive attack. Unfortunately for him, Shiki was just toying with him and wasn't even using his full strength in their battle. After hearing Wizard's beliefs, what happened with Ziggy and slight connection to Witch, Shiki takes him out in one blow to Wizard's shock and disbelief. His last action is to warn his fellow Dark Stars not to underestimate the Edens Zero crew.]]
* OneManArmy: He's capable of taking down dozens of fighter-sized battle drones all on his own, something that takes the Shining Stars by surprise, as they've never heard of any humanoid robot with that kind of power. Which makes it all the more shocking when he claims to be the weakest of the Dark Stars after [[spoiler:being beaten by Shiki.]]
* RobotWizard: Like Witch, he's a robot that manipulates his Ether in a manner similar to genuine magic.
* ShockAndAwe: He conjures lightning bolts with his "Divine Lightning" spell, which can destroy battle drones with ease.
* ThisCannotBe: [[spoiler: Thought he had Shiki at his mercy in their fight by draining his Ether and is utterly shocked when Shiki takes him out with ease. Shiki revealing he was only using a ''tenth'' of his power and actually ''holding back'' in preparation for his fight with Ziggy.]]

The Death of Edens, a harlequin android with an effeminate demeanor.
----
* ArmCannon: He has a gun within his right arm that fires Ether Bullets.
* TheBeastmaster: He summons a large, lion-like creature to attack Sister during their confrontation at the Spa of Edens.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He, as his name implies, behaves like a clown during his battle Rebecca, refusing to [[UnderestimatingBadassery take her seriously]] and seemingly more interested in making a show for his literal captive audience. That being said, the moment he does take her seriously, [[spoiler:He transforms into [[SuperMode Nightmare Clown]] and effortless warps her away with Rebecca being unable to do anything to stop him.]]
* BrightIsNotGood: He's the only Dark Star who doesn't dress mainly in black or grey, instead wearing a vibrantly colored clown suit. Not that this stops him from being every bit as evil as the others are.
* CircusOfFear: He fights Rebecca inside one where he can manipulate the enviroment to hurt her, like electrify the floor or summon rings of fire and swords to throw at her.
* DarkIsEvil: [[spoiler:Upon he donning his Battle Dress, he gains a demonic appearance and refers to himself as Nightmare Clown.]]
* EvilCounterpart: Wizard states he's Sister's counterpart in the Four Dark Stars.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He speaks in a flamboyant and casual manner as he tries to convince Connor to shoot down the ''Edens Zero''.
* IAmNotLeftHanded: [[spoiler:Just when Rebecca thinks she has defeated him, Clown reveals he has been fooling around for their entire fight. He then activates his Battle Dress and immediately puts Rebecca out of commission.]]
* IDontPayYouToThink: He says this almost verbatim when Connor expresses his doubts about sinking the ''Edens Zero''.
* JugglingDangerously: During his battle with Rebecca, he juggles swords while simultaneously [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks throwing them at her]].
* LaughablyEvil: As you'd expect from a clown, he's incredibly silly in battle, though that doesn't make him [[BewareTheSillyOnes any less dangerous]].
* MindRape: He traps Sister inside an illusion where he tortures her and rips her body in half with CombatTentacles. Sister admits this should cause high mental damage [[spoiler:in anyone else, but not her. She quickly turns the tables on Clown and mentally breaks ''him'' by subjecting him to a torture session inside his own illusion.]]
* MonsterClown: He's a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin clown]], and a pretty malicious one at that. [[spoiler:He looks the part too once he becomes Nightmare Clown.]]
* PoisonousPerson: He has the ability to turn water into deadly poison.
* SayItWithHearts: All of his speech bubbles end in them.
* ShoutOut: When he first engange Rebecca in combat, he starts talking like the battle messages from the ''Franchise/DragonQuest'' series.
* SinisterScimitar: While fighting Rebecca, he summons a series of beautifully decorated scimitars, which he uses to juggle and as throwing weapons against her. The sinister part comes from him being the "Death" of Edens.
* SissyVillain: In contrast to Sister, a NunTooHoly [[TheLadette Lad-ette]], Clown is an effeminate, male MonsterClown.

The Brains of Edens, a gnarled android with a masked face.
----
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: [[spoiler: He manages to defeat Weisz by using a hologram of his mother to get him to drop his guard and knock him out with Ether Bullets (though luckily Weisz survives thanks to his protection matrix). When Killer faces off against Hermit, Hermit uses the data from Weisz's fight to uses a hologram of her supposedly being defeated, only to appear behind Killer and land a MegatonPunch on him.]]
* BishonenLine: His upgraded model, Killer Mark II resembles a young man and is much less obviously mechanical in appearance. [[spoiler:Although the glimpse of "Human" Killer Shiki sees in a vision shows he really did use to look more like this, minus the scar on his face.]]
* TheBlank: His old body doesn't appear to possess any sort of facial features, though it's not clear if he's simply wearing mask or if he genuinely lacks a face. His upgraded model, however, has a human appearance.
* CombatPragmatist: He fights the dirtiest out of the Four Dark Stars. During his fight with Weisz, [[spoiler:he uses projections of Weisz's presumably deceased mother to distract him with the possibility of her being alive, which ultimately allows Killer to defeat him.]]
* EverythingSensor: His mask/face functions as one.
* EvilCounterpart: Wizard confirms he's Hermit's counterpart to the Four Dark Stars.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: His Mark II version has four dots in his eyes, in place of regular pupils.
* InTheBack: Befitting his specialty of assassination, he favors attacking from behind. [[spoiler:He uses his sword in this fashion against Jaguar, actually piercing the beast-man, but was shocked when Jaguar simply reached behind and crushed him to death.]]
** [[spoiler: In a nice bit of karma, when he faces off against Hermit, she manages to land a major blow on him from behind.]]
* LoveIsAWeakness: He believes feeling love for others makes humans weak and he likes to exploit it. In his fight with Weisz, [[spoiler:Killer attacks a projection of his mother, since he knows Weisz can't bear to see his mother in danger even if it's not certain she's the real thing. Killer's strategy works]].
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His name is freaking ''Killer''!
* OhCrap:
** [[spoiler:He is surprised when Jaguar grabs him from behind before being ripped into pieces.]]
** [[spoiler: In his fight with Hermit, he thinks he has her beat, only to find out she used a hologram and is actually behind him. He has a second to realize he was duped before Hermit lands a devastating punch on him.]]
* PitifulWorms: After scanning the ''Edens Zero'' and seeing it that it's specs don't match up to the [[SuperiorSuccessor Edens One]], he proclaims that it and its crew are "less than bugs".
* PocketDimension: He has the ability to create subdimension programs which the Dark Stars can control however they please.
* {{Sadist}}: He takes great pleasure in tormenting Weisz throughout their battle, both emotionally and physically. [[spoiler: He tries this on Hermit but she fakes him out with a hologram.]]
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:Hermit defeats him, but Killer self-destructs to infect her with a virus that will destroy her mind and body. It's only thanks to Sister's intervention that she survives.]]

!!!'''Abilities:''' [[SuperToughness Protection Fortify]], [[LightningBruiser Armored Pressure]]
The Armor of Edens and Valkyrie's counterpart, a proud warrior who finds meaning in every battle. His body is made of seemingly invincible armor, while his attack power is the greatest of all the Four Dark Stars.
----
* AchillesHeel: His greatest weakness is that, no matter how high he raises his defenses, he has to lower them in the instant he goes on the offensive. [[spoiler:Homura exploits this by leaving herself open to an attack to cut him to pieces in her Overdrive form.]]
* AmbiguouslyBrown: In Shiki's vision of Brigandine's memories, Brigandine looks like an ordinary human man with the same dark skin color as Valkyrie, but also a light shade of hair (Valkyrie's hair, which is rosy pink, is left white in uncolored images just like Brigandine's).
* AnimatedArmor: In contrast to Valkyrie, a RidiculouslyHumanRobot with TwentyFourHourArmor, Brigandine appears to be 100% armor, albet mechanized.
* AntagonistInMourning: Compared to the other Dark Stars, who are eager to kill their Shining Star counterparts, or glad to be rid of them when they appear to be dead, Brigandine is upset that Valkyrie died before they could meet, because [[UnfulfilledPurposeMisery it leaves him without his purpose of beating her]].
* AwesomeButImpractical: His ability to fortify his defenses to the point of invulnerability is useful in withstanding Homura's attacks, but as Homura points out, he throws those defenses away the moment he launches his own offensive. [[spoiler:This proves critical in defeating him.]]
* AnAxeToGrind: His introductory scene shows him with a large axe on his back, though it disappears in all other scenes without him ever using it.
* BeastMan: The head of his Mark II model resembles a lion.
* BloodKnight: The guy lives for good old-fashioned battle, with nothing for him and his opponent to rely on but their own strength and skill. It's such a big deal to him that his fellow Dark Stars tease him for it.
* TheBrute: He's the largest and most physically powerful of the Dark Stars. He also expresses dissatisfaction at the idea of needing to use tricks, telling Homura that he would much rather face her straight-on while the other Dark Stars drag their opponents into their own brands of trickery.
* CurbStompCushion: His attack on Jaguar ends with Brigandine getting gutted as soon as he bursts through the ceiling and charging towards him, but he still manages to get the hit in, which also serves to distract Jaguar from Killer getting him InTheBack.
* DashAttack: His Armored Pressure is a shoulder barge where he slams into his enemy at maximum speed and power. [[spoiler:The downside is that it also lightens his otherwise impenetrable defenses enough for a sufficiently powerful attack to damage him, while the barge itself forces him to charge headlong into said attack.]]
* DoubleKnockout: Homura willingly takes a knockout blow from Brigandine to land a devastating attack the very instant he drops his guard. [[spoiler:Ultimately {{Subverted|Trope}} in that Brigandine falls to pieces while Homura gets back up, no worse for wear.]]
* DubNameChange: His Protection Fortify ability is simply called "Protect Fortify" in Japanese.
* EvilCounterpart: By his own description, he's Valkyrie's counterpart in the Four Dark Stars. Both are warrior-type androids whose specialty lies in physical strength, with [[ForceAndFinesse Brigandine focusing on force over Valkyrie's finesse]].
* ForceAndFinesse: Brigandine embodies the former compared to his counterpart, Valkyrie, and her successor, Homura. His attacks consist of straightforward punches and charges, but they pack incredible force that only the most powerful warriors can resist or avoid them.
* GracefulLoser: For his battle with Homura on Lendard, [[spoiler:Brigandine praises her as a valiant warrior for managing to defeat him, nearly at the cost of her own life, before his body falls apart from her attack.]]
* HeroKiller: {{Subverted|Trope}}. When Homura's friends walk in on the outcome of their match, Brigandine has seemingly killed Homura without any damage. As [[HowWeGotHere a rewind to their battle]] shows, however, Homura manages to survive. [[spoiler:Not only that, she cut him to pieces while she was at it.]]
* LightningBruiser: On top of his incredible durablity and physical might, his Armored Pressure attack also lets him barge towards his opponent at enhanced speed.
* LiterallyShatteredLives: For his defeat in the Lendard arc, [[spoiler:his body cracks and crumbles apart after Homura cuts through his seemingly invincible armor with her Kitsune Dancing Blades.]]
* NobleDemon: He's no less on board with killing all humans than the rest of the crew, but he's also the only one who treats his opponents with any respect, human or otherwise. He speaks highly of Valkyrie, his supposedly inferior counterpart, and doesn't devalue Homura's suitability as her successor until she fails to meet his expectations in battle, which gives way to [[WorthyOpponent admiration and acceptance]] when she finds a way to beat him.
* NonIndicativeName: A [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigandine brigandine]] is a light, flexible upper body armor consisting of smaller metal plates strung together within a leather or fabric cover, which doesn't describe the heavy full-body armor that makes up this guy's body.
* NotQuiteDead: He's seemingly destroyed by Jaguar in the Nero 66 arc before he can face the ''Edens Zero'' crew in person, but the TimeSkip reveals he was rebuilt as Brigandine Mark II.
* NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: As Brigandine Mark II, he boasts that he was given reinforced armor that can't be cut or destroyed by anything after his Mark I model got totalled by Jaguar. [[spoiler:Homura proves him wrong by finding an AchillesHeel that leaves his armor weaker the very instant he attacks, allowing her to carve him up like butter.]]
* SuperStrength: He's physically the strongest of the Four Dark Stars, which he shows by punching with such force that Homura can't parry it with her sword, and casually hurls a heavy metal cylinder larger than his own body.
* SuperToughness: His greatest asset is his virtually impenetrable defense, though that doesn't do him a lick of good against Jaguar, a foe with far greater physical strength. As Brigandine Mark II, he's [[TookALevelInBadass rebuilt with increased defenses]] that prevents Homura from dealing any damage to him, even when she's in [[SuperMode Overdrive]] with three years of training under her belt. As Homura discovers and exploits, however, Brigandine has to lower his defenses the instant he attacks. [[spoiler:While she takes great damage in the process, it's what let her takes him down.]]
* TinyHeadedBehemoth: He's a massive hulk of an android with arms almost as long and wide as the rest of his body from neck to foot, yet his head is disproportionately small.
* TookALevelInBadass: In the Nero 66 arc, Brigandine is handily wrecked by Jaguar, one of the most powerful warriors in the universe. Three years later, he's upgraded to surpass Jaguar's strength from back then, which also makes him more than a match for Homura.
* TorsoWithAView: Jaguar tears a gaping hole in his side during their "[[CurbStompBattle battle]]" in the Nero 66 arc. However, Brigandine survives and gets rebuilt.
* UnfulfilledPurposeMisery: He's built specifically to surpass and defeat Valkyrie, but finds himself without a purpose when she dies before they can meet in battle. He's then [[CurbStompBattle torn apart]] by Jaguar without effort, leaving him to wallow in despair over how meaningless his life is. When Ziggy rebuilds him with the task of defeating Homura, Valkyrie's successor, he sees it as his chance to redeem himself.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: {{Subverted|Trope}}. He seems like a throwaway villain when he gets demolished in the Nero 66 arc with little fanfare, but he's shown to have been repaired and upgraded after the TimeSkip, getting more characterization and a bigger showcase of his abilities in the Lendard arc.
* TheWorfEffect: His [[CurbStompBattle "fight"]] with Jaguar in the Nero 66 arc ends with the latter quickly tearing through him as if he were made of paper, demonstrating how far the Dark Stars are out of their league against someone from the Oración Seis, whether it's the Galáctica or the Interstellar Union Army.
* WorthyOpponent: He comes declares Homura to be a valiant warrior to her friends when they see her seemingly lying dead by his feet.
* YouAreAlreadyDead: During his battle with Homura on Lendard, [[spoiler:Homura's Kitsune Dancing Blades slice right through Brigandine's body to make him [[LiterallyShatteredLives crumble apart]]. However, his body holds together long enough for him to share one last talk with Homura over how she could defeat him, and to praise her when her friends find her [[DisneyDeath supposedly dead]] minutes later, before finally collapsing in a shattered heap.]]

!!Müller
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ez_muller_o_tech.png]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Yōhei Tadano (Japanese), John Snyder (English)
The mad scientist responsible for shattering Hermit's faith in humanity in the past. Although he was imprisoned for his crimes, he escaped--and was injured--via a self-engineered explosion and rebuilt himself as an O-Tech. Ziggy enlists him to guard the server driving Foresta's robots insane in exchange for continuing his twisted experiments on Hermit.
::
For tropes relating to Müller prior to the Aoi Cosmos saga, see [[Characters/EdensZeroSakuraCosmos here]].
----
* ArcVillain: {{Downplayed|Trope}} with his role in the Foresta Arc. He's not the one responsible for building the server that drives the planet's robots insane, (that's treated as Ziggy's doing), but he still has influence over the robots' behavior, and is positioned as the main and final obstacle the heroes must overcome in the arc.
* BaldOfEvil: He has lost most of his hair, but is just as evil as when his head was full of hair.
* BlackEyesOfCrazy: The whites of Müller's eyes turn black several times: once when he has Hermit [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty strung up and at his mercy]], and again out of shock upon piecing Young Weisz's identity together.
* TheBusCameBack: Originally a PredecessorVillain appearing in flashbacks to Hermit's DarkAndTroubledPast, Müller returns in the Foresta arc as a cyborg under Ziggy's employment.
* CombatTentacles: His robot body's right hand consists of three mechanical tendrils, which can generate an electrical shock powerful enough to paralyze Weisz's body and dismantle his Arsenal Suit.
* {{Cyborg}}: He has been rebuilt as an O-Tech in the years since Hermit last saw him, the only organic piece of him being his head.
* DramaticIrony: After spending so much of his time despising robots, one escape attempt gone terribly awry forces him to adopt a robotic body.
* EvilIsPetty: The Rutherfords were an influential and rich family that supported his work until he was arrested, after which they rather understandably withdrew it once his crimes came to light. Once he escaped prison, he killed the parents and kidnapped their children to perform cruel experiments on, dissecting Jinn and turning him into a cyborg while [[ForcedToWatch forcing Kleene to watch]].
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Arsenal cuts him in half at the waist with [[BladeBelowTheShoulder Grandee Wing]], but he just laughs it off and retaliates while musing on how becoming an O-Tech [[DidntNeedThoseAnyway lets him ignore things like this]]. This ends up contributing to his defeat, however, as [[BigDamnHeroes Laguna arrives]] and short-circuits him via hitting an exposed sparking wire in his severed torso with water.
* HateSink: He was already one before his return in the Foresta Arc, but he manages to outdo himself. Not is he responsible for the incident on Foresta, but he murdered Jinn and Kleene's parents and is the reason why Jinn is a cyborg and Kleene lost her emotions.
* HypocriticalHumor: He calls Professor Weisz a "freak" for declining to publish a groundbreaking theory he'd proven, giving up all the accolades and benefits that would've come with it. The younger Weisz takes this poorly, seeing how it's coming from a MadScientist who blew up a planet of robots just because he hated them, and turned to human experimentation after discovering the joys of being a {{cyborg}}.
* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: There's an ''extremely'' creepy vibe in the way he immobilizes Hermit and goes on about how much he wants to "experiment" with her body again.
* InsufferableGenius: He can't help but toot his own horn about how advanced his O-Tech body is. In fact, the [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseWritingSystem kanji]] for "genius" is engraved on his back.
* KarmicTransformation: {{Subverted|Trope}}. After escaping from prison and having to rebuild himself as an O-Tech, he claims to have gotten used to his body and actually quite enjoys being part-machine, despite his previously established hatred towards robots.
* LaserGuidedKarma: After fifteen years of sick and twisted experiments conducted ForTheEvulz, he finally gets his just desserts when Weisz obliterates his O-Tech body and leaves him sniveling at the mercy of the less than forgiving Hermit, one of his many undeserving victims. To rub salt in the wound, Hermit tricks him into thinking they're friends again just so she can get his retina scan and hack into the server he was guarding, right before punching him in the face and discarding him just like he did to her years ago.
* LosingYourHead: By the end of his battle with Weisz, Müller's O-Tech body is blown to bits, leaving nothing but his head. He's somehow still able to survive, but can only crawl around pathetically with tiny, retractable arms where his ears used to be.
* LovesTheSoundOfScreaming: He brags about how much he enjoyed hearing Jinn and Kleene cry in agony while he tortured them in his experiments.
* MadnessMakeover: His human appearance has deteriorated further since his last encounter with Hermit, his hair whittling away to thin strands, and his eyes completely stuck with HellishPupils, giving him a creepier and more inhuman appearance than ever before.
* MotiveDecay: His original motivation to destroy all robots was never deep to begin with, but ever since he broke out of prison, his goals have devolved to simply making Hermit suffer and practicing general human experimentation to upgrade his own cyborg body.
* NoSell: He boasts while fighting Arsenal that his years of research and torturing others went into improving his new body so that it would be immune to many different forms of attack, repeatedly claiming that nothing Weisz does is actually hurting him. [[TemptingFate He dearly underestimates how dangerous and creative]] a {{Technopath}} with a grudge really is.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: He's very familiar with the present-day Professor Weisz and his accomplishments (though considering this Weisz is already a huge celebrity within scientific circles, [[TruthInTelevision it makes complete sense]]), and he just so happens to be the one directly responsible for turning Jinn into an O-Tech and giving Kleene her crippling mental trauma.
* TheParalyzer: One of his functions as an O-Tech is to generate an electrical pulse that paralyzes his victims' nerves, leaving them unable to move for limited periods of time.
* TermsOfEndangerment: He refers to Hermit as his "darling little piece of junk" upon reuniting with her.
* TortureTechnician: He cut the limbs of a young Kris as he forced Kleene to watch.
* VillainsWantMercy: After being reduced to a head with little arms attached to it, he doesn't hesitate to grovel before Hermit's feet and beg her to save him while crying. When she points out how many people begged the same thing from him, especially Jinn and Kleene, he tries to state that he didn't kill ''them'' and tells her that he understands that robots have feelings and HumansAreBastards. Hermit makes it clear she will never trust a word that comes out of his mouth again and tricks him into giving her his retina scan to shut down the satellite before punching him out.
* WeCanRebuildHim: He allegedly did this to ''himself'' after losing parts of his body in the explosion he caused to engineer his prison break, somehow turning himself into an O-Tech.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: What happens to him after being punched in the face by Hermit isn't mentioned.
* WhyAmITicking: He's defeated by Weisz grabbing him and using his [[{{Technopath}} Machina Maker]] to reconfigure his vaulted O-Tech body into a bomb which explodes with enough force to blow him to pieces.
* WouldHurtAChild: He dismembered a young Jinn [[ChainsawGood with a chainsaw]] as part of his "experiments". Just to push the envelope further, [[ForcedToWatch he made Kleene watch the whole thing]], destroying her emotionally.

The successor to the ''Edens Zero'', which was built to serve as its prototype. It is superior to the ''Zero'' in every way, and serves to ferry Demon King Ziggy and spread his will across the universe.

* SinkingShipScenario: The ship was destroyed off-screen prior to Rebecca's time leap, with the steering wheel being the only sign of it left.
* SuperiorSuccessor: According to Ziggy, the ''Edens Zero'' is a prototype for the ''Edens One'', which is the ship he intends to use to conquer the universe. When the two ships clash, it's a CurbStompBattle in the ''One''[='=]s favor.

The Demon King's Four Dark Stars are the next generation of androids to the Four Shining Stars of ''Edens Zero'', said to be more advanced than their counterparts.

* AmazonBrigade: GenderInverted. Whereas the Four Shining Stars are all female, the Four Dark Stars are all male.
* DarkIsEvil: The word "[[DubNameChange dark/black]]" is an actual part of their name, and they are the Demon King's post-FaceHeelTurn minions. Most of them also [[EvilWearsBlack dress in black and grey]] for good measure, with the exception of [[BrightIsNotGood Clown]].
* DomainHolder: They can freely manipulate Killer's subdimension programs however they wish, from changing the environment to trapping people in seemingly inescapable prisons to even [[spoiler:creating illusions of loved ones]]. Though all of them possess this power, Brigandine [[WillfullyWeak chooses]] not to use it since he prefers combat to be as fair as possible.
* DubNameChange: Their Japanese name, ''Shikokusei'' (四黒星), more accurately means "Four Black Stars".
* ForgottenFriendNewFoe: [[spoiler:Turns out each one of them had a personal connection to their respective Shining Star counterpart, but Ziggy erased their memories. Shiki suspects Ziggy knew he would become an enemy and needed the Dark Stars and Shining Stars to forget their past relationships so they could fight each other without hesitation.]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler: Shiki's fight with Wizard reveals that like their Shining Stars counterparts, they had certain memories removed by Ziggy, including memories where they knew the Shining Stars, with Shiki believing it was to hide something.]]
* ThePsychoRangers: They're the {{Evil Counterpart}}s to the Four Shining Stars. [[spoiler: Although, Shiki's peek into Wizard's lost memories imply that they weren't originally.]]
* SpearCounterpart: They're an all-male group whose members reflect the all-female Shining Stars.
* SuperiorSuccessor: According to Ziggy, they're meant to be more advanced compared to the Four Shining Stars.
* WasOnceAMan: [[spoiler:During his encounter with them, Shiki makes their memories "fall" into him and it's revealed that not only did they know the Shining Stars but all of them, Shining Stars included, were once human, though Ziggy erased this from their memories for some unknown reason.]]
* WorfEffect: To Ziggy's surprise, [[spoiler:Jaguar takes out both Brigandine and Killer with minimal issue, only taking minor damage from getting surprised by them.]]

The Spear of Edens, a sorcerer android with incredible mastery over magic.
----
* {{Bishonen}}: He's built to resemble a handsome young man.
* EvilCounterpart: He's the Four Dark Stars counterpart to Witch.
* EyesAlwaysShut: He usually keeps his eyes closed, similar to how Witch normally covers most of her face. He does occasionally, however, open his eyes when casting magic.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: He has long hair and is quite easy on the eyes compared to his contemporaries.
* MagicStaff: He casts his Ether spells with a long staff.
* ManaDrain: One of his most devastating moves is "Drain Ether", which allows him to absorb the Ether of his opponent upon physical contact, simultaneously weakening his foe while strengthening himself and allowing him to quickly turn the tables on even a superior opponent. [[spoiler:It can even work on something as intense as Shiki's Overdrive state, though a key weakness is that he can only absorb as much Ether as his foe is putting out and he needs to consciously activate it. While he disabled Shiki even in Overdrive, he's blindsided when Shiki suddenly powers back up and takes him down in an instant, and he's further floored when Shiki reveals he was only using a ''tenth'' of his full power at first.]]
* MythologyGag: [[spoiler: The way he's defeated is similar to God Serena from ''Manga/FairyTail'' when he tried to take on Acnologia who effortlessly dispatched Serena in one hit.]]
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Unlike his peers, Wizard believes that the ''Edens Zero'' and its crew could grow to become a considerable threat if allowed to live. [[spoiler:When he fights Shiki on Lendard, Wizard's first move is a [[MasterOfIllusion psychological attack]] to get in close enough to strike his vulnerable opponent which only barely fails, and later when Shiki goes [[SuperMode Overdrive]] Wizard neutralizes it as soon as he can with [[ManaDrain Drain Ether]] before his foe can turn the tide with a decisive attack. Unfortunately for him, Shiki was just toying with him and wasn't even using his full strength in their battle. After hearing Wizard's beliefs, what happened with Ziggy and slight connection to Witch, Shiki takes him out in one blow to Wizard's shock and disbelief. His last action is to warn his fellow Dark Stars not to underestimate the Edens Zero crew.]]
* OneManArmy: He's capable of taking down dozens of fighter-sized battle drones all on his own, something that takes the Shining Stars by surprise, as they've never heard of any humanoid robot with that kind of power. Which makes it all the more shocking when he claims to be the weakest of the Dark Stars after [[spoiler:being beaten by Shiki.]]
* RobotWizard: Like Witch, he's a robot that manipulates his Ether in a manner similar to genuine magic.
* ShockAndAwe: He conjures lightning bolts with his "Divine Lightning" spell, which can destroy battle drones with ease.
* ThisCannotBe: [[spoiler: Thought he had Shiki at his mercy in their fight by draining his Ether and is utterly shocked when Shiki takes him out with ease. Shiki revealing he was only using a ''tenth'' of his power and actually ''holding back'' in preparation for his fight with Ziggy.]]

The Death of Edens, a harlequin android with an effeminate demeanor.
----
* ArmCannon: He has a gun within his right arm that fires Ether Bullets.
* TheBeastmaster: He summons a large, lion-like creature to attack Sister during their confrontation at the Spa of Edens.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He, as his name implies, behaves like a clown during his battle Rebecca, refusing to [[UnderestimatingBadassery take her seriously]] and seemingly more interested in making a show for his literal captive audience. That being said, the moment he does take her seriously, [[spoiler:He transforms into [[SuperMode Nightmare Clown]] and effortless warps her away with Rebecca being unable to do anything to stop him.]]
* BrightIsNotGood: He's the only Dark Star who doesn't dress mainly in black or grey, instead wearing a vibrantly colored clown suit. Not that this stops him from being every bit as evil as the others are.
* CircusOfFear: He fights Rebecca inside one where he can manipulate the enviroment to hurt her, like electrify the floor or summon rings of fire and swords to throw at her.
* DarkIsEvil: [[spoiler:Upon he donning his Battle Dress, he gains a demonic appearance and refers to himself as Nightmare Clown.]]
* EvilCounterpart: Wizard states he's Sister's counterpart in the Four Dark Stars.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He speaks in a flamboyant and casual manner as he tries to convince Connor to shoot down the ''Edens Zero''.
* IAmNotLeftHanded: [[spoiler:Just when Rebecca thinks she has defeated him, Clown reveals he has been fooling around for their entire fight. He then activates his Battle Dress and immediately puts Rebecca out of commission.]]
* IDontPayYouToThink: He says this almost verbatim when Connor expresses his doubts about sinking the ''Edens Zero''.
* JugglingDangerously: During his battle with Rebecca, he juggles swords while simultaneously [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks throwing them at her]].
* LaughablyEvil: As you'd expect from a clown, he's incredibly silly in battle, though that doesn't make him [[BewareTheSillyOnes any less dangerous]].
* MindRape: He traps Sister inside an illusion where he tortures her and rips her body in half with CombatTentacles. Sister admits this should cause high mental damage [[spoiler:in anyone else, but not her. She quickly turns the tables on Clown and mentally breaks ''him'' by subjecting him to a torture session inside his own illusion.]]
* MonsterClown: He's a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin clown]], and a pretty malicious one at that. [[spoiler:He looks the part too once he becomes Nightmare Clown.]]
* PoisonousPerson: He has the ability to turn water into deadly poison.
* SayItWithHearts: All of his speech bubbles end in them.
* ShoutOut: When he first engange Rebecca in combat, he starts talking like the battle messages from the ''Franchise/DragonQuest'' series.
* SinisterScimitar: While fighting Rebecca, he summons a series of beautifully decorated scimitars, which he uses to juggle and as throwing weapons against her. The sinister part comes from him being the "Death" of Edens.
* SissyVillain: In contrast to Sister, a NunTooHoly [[TheLadette Lad-ette]], Clown is an effeminate, male MonsterClown.

The Brains of Edens, a gnarled android with a masked face.
----
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: [[spoiler: He manages to defeat Weisz by using a hologram of his mother to get him to drop his guard and knock him out with Ether Bullets (though luckily Weisz survives thanks to his protection matrix). When Killer faces off against Hermit, Hermit uses the data from Weisz's fight to uses a hologram of her supposedly being defeated, only to appear behind Killer and land a MegatonPunch on him.]]
* BishonenLine: His upgraded model, Killer Mark II resembles a young man and is much less obviously mechanical in appearance. [[spoiler:Although the glimpse of "Human" Killer Shiki sees in a vision shows he really did use to look more like this, minus the scar on his face.]]
* TheBlank: His old body doesn't appear to possess any sort of facial features, though it's not clear if he's simply wearing mask or if he genuinely lacks a face. His upgraded model, however, has a human appearance.
* CombatPragmatist: He fights the dirtiest out of the Four Dark Stars. During his fight with Weisz, [[spoiler:he uses projections of Weisz's presumably deceased mother to distract him with the possibility of her being alive, which ultimately allows Killer to defeat him.]]
* EverythingSensor: His mask/face functions as one.
* EvilCounterpart: Wizard confirms he's Hermit's counterpart to the Four Dark Stars.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: His Mark II version has four dots in his eyes, in place of regular pupils.
* InTheBack: Befitting his specialty of assassination, he favors attacking from behind. [[spoiler:He uses his sword in this fashion against Jaguar, actually piercing the beast-man, but was shocked when Jaguar simply reached behind and crushed him to death.]]
** [[spoiler: In a nice bit of karma, when he faces off against Hermit, she manages to land a major blow on him from behind.]]
* LoveIsAWeakness: He believes feeling love for others makes humans weak and he likes to exploit it. In his fight with Weisz, [[spoiler:Killer attacks a projection of his mother, since he knows Weisz can't bear to see his mother in danger even if it's not certain she's the real thing. Killer's strategy works]].
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His name is freaking ''Killer''!
* OhCrap:
** [[spoiler:He is surprised when Jaguar grabs him from behind before being ripped into pieces.]]
** [[spoiler: In his fight with Hermit, he thinks he has her beat, only to find out she used a hologram and is actually behind him. He has a second to realize he was duped before Hermit lands a devastating punch on him.]]
* PitifulWorms: After scanning the ''Edens Zero'' and seeing it that it's specs don't match up to the [[SuperiorSuccessor Edens One]], he proclaims that it and its crew are "less than bugs".
* PocketDimension: He has the ability to create subdimension programs which the Dark Stars can control however they please.
* {{Sadist}}: He takes great pleasure in tormenting Weisz throughout their battle, both emotionally and physically. [[spoiler: He tries this on Hermit but she fakes him out with a hologram.]]
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:Hermit defeats him, but Killer self-destructs to infect her with a virus that will destroy her mind and body. It's only thanks to Sister's intervention that she survives.]]

!!!'''Abilities:''' [[SuperToughness Protection Fortify]], [[LightningBruiser Armored Pressure]]
The Armor of Edens and Valkyrie's counterpart, a proud warrior who finds meaning in every battle. His body is made of seemingly invincible armor, while his attack power is the greatest of all the Four Dark Stars.
----
* AchillesHeel: His greatest weakness is that, no matter how high he raises his defenses, he has to lower them in the instant he goes on the offensive. [[spoiler:Homura exploits this by leaving herself open to an attack to cut him to pieces in her Overdrive form.]]
* AmbiguouslyBrown: In Shiki's vision of Brigandine's memories, Brigandine looks like an ordinary human man with the same dark skin color as Valkyrie, but also a light shade of hair (Valkyrie's hair, which is rosy pink, is left white in uncolored images just like Brigandine's).
* AnimatedArmor: In contrast to Valkyrie, a RidiculouslyHumanRobot with TwentyFourHourArmor, Brigandine appears to be 100% armor, albet mechanized.
* AntagonistInMourning: Compared to the other Dark Stars, who are eager to kill their Shining Star counterparts, or glad to be rid of them when they appear to be dead, Brigandine is upset that Valkyrie died before they could meet, because [[UnfulfilledPurposeMisery it leaves him without his purpose of beating her]].
* AwesomeButImpractical: His ability to fortify his defenses to the point of invulnerability is useful in withstanding Homura's attacks, but as Homura points out, he throws those defenses away the moment he launches his own offensive. [[spoiler:This proves critical in defeating him.]]
* AnAxeToGrind: His introductory scene shows him with a large axe on his back, though it disappears in all other scenes without him ever using it.
* BeastMan: The head of his Mark II model resembles a lion.
* BloodKnight: The guy lives for good old-fashioned battle, with nothing for him and his opponent to rely on but their own strength and skill. It's such a big deal to him that his fellow Dark Stars tease him for it.
* TheBrute: He's the largest and most physically powerful of the Dark Stars. He also expresses dissatisfaction at the idea of needing to use tricks, telling Homura that he would much rather face her straight-on while the other Dark Stars drag their opponents into their own brands of trickery.
* CurbStompCushion: His attack on Jaguar ends with Brigandine getting gutted as soon as he bursts through the ceiling and charging towards him, but he still manages to get the hit in, which also serves to distract Jaguar from Killer getting him InTheBack.
* DashAttack: His Armored Pressure is a shoulder barge where he slams into his enemy at maximum speed and power. [[spoiler:The downside is that it also lightens his otherwise impenetrable defenses enough for a sufficiently powerful attack to damage him, while the barge itself forces him to charge headlong into said attack.]]
* DoubleKnockout: Homura willingly takes a knockout blow from Brigandine to land a devastating attack the very instant he drops his guard. [[spoiler:Ultimately {{Subverted|Trope}} in that Brigandine falls to pieces while Homura gets back up, no worse for wear.]]
* DubNameChange: His Protection Fortify ability is simply called "Protect Fortify" in Japanese.
* EvilCounterpart: By his own description, he's Valkyrie's counterpart in the Four Dark Stars. Both are warrior-type androids whose specialty lies in physical strength, with [[ForceAndFinesse Brigandine focusing on force over Valkyrie's finesse]].
* ForceAndFinesse: Brigandine embodies the former compared to his counterpart, Valkyrie, and her successor, Homura. His attacks consist of straightforward punches and charges, but they pack incredible force that only the most powerful warriors can resist or avoid them.
* GracefulLoser: For his battle with Homura on Lendard, [[spoiler:Brigandine praises her as a valiant warrior for managing to defeat him, nearly at the cost of her own life, before his body falls apart from her attack.]]
* HeroKiller: {{Subverted|Trope}}. When Homura's friends walk in on the outcome of their match, Brigandine has seemingly killed Homura without any damage. As [[HowWeGotHere a rewind to their battle]] shows, however, Homura manages to survive. [[spoiler:Not only that, she cut him to pieces while she was at it.]]
* LightningBruiser: On top of his incredible durablity and physical might, his Armored Pressure attack also lets him barge towards his opponent at enhanced speed.
* LiterallyShatteredLives: For his defeat in the Lendard arc, [[spoiler:his body cracks and crumbles apart after Homura cuts through his seemingly invincible armor with her Kitsune Dancing Blades.]]
* NobleDemon: He's no less on board with killing all humans than the rest of the crew, but he's also the only one who treats his opponents with any respect, human or otherwise. He speaks highly of Valkyrie, his supposedly inferior counterpart, and doesn't devalue Homura's suitability as her successor until she fails to meet his expectations in battle, which gives way to [[WorthyOpponent admiration and acceptance]] when she finds a way to beat him.
* NonIndicativeName: A [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigandine brigandine]] is a light, flexible upper body armor consisting of smaller metal plates strung together within a leather or fabric cover, which doesn't describe the heavy full-body armor that makes up this guy's body.
* NotQuiteDead: He's seemingly destroyed by Jaguar in the Nero 66 arc before he can face the ''Edens Zero'' crew in person, but the TimeSkip reveals he was rebuilt as Brigandine Mark II.
* NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: As Brigandine Mark II, he boasts that he was given reinforced armor that can't be cut or destroyed by anything after his Mark I model got totalled by Jaguar. [[spoiler:Homura proves him wrong by finding an AchillesHeel that leaves his armor weaker the very instant he attacks, allowing her to carve him up like butter.]]
* SuperStrength: He's physically the strongest of the Four Dark Stars, which he shows by punching with such force that Homura can't parry it with her sword, and casually hurls a heavy metal cylinder larger than his own body.
* SuperToughness: His greatest asset is his virtually impenetrable defense, though that doesn't do him a lick of good against Jaguar, a foe with far greater physical strength. As Brigandine Mark II, he's [[TookALevelInBadass rebuilt with increased defenses]] that prevents Homura from dealing any damage to him, even when she's in [[SuperMode Overdrive]] with three years of training under her belt. As Homura discovers and exploits, however, Brigandine has to lower his defenses the instant he attacks. [[spoiler:While she takes great damage in the process, it's what let her takes him down.]]
* TinyHeadedBehemoth: He's a massive hulk of an android with arms almost as long and wide as the rest of his body from neck to foot, yet his head is disproportionately small.
* TookALevelInBadass: In the Nero 66 arc, Brigandine is handily wrecked by Jaguar, one of the most powerful warriors in the universe. Three years later, he's upgraded to surpass Jaguar's strength from back then, which also makes him more than a match for Homura.
* TorsoWithAView: Jaguar tears a gaping hole in his side during their "[[CurbStompBattle battle]]" in the Nero 66 arc. However, Brigandine survives and gets rebuilt.
* UnfulfilledPurposeMisery: He's built specifically to surpass and defeat Valkyrie, but finds himself without a purpose when she dies before they can meet in battle. He's then [[CurbStompBattle torn apart]] by Jaguar without effort, leaving him to wallow in despair over how meaningless his life is. When Ziggy rebuilds him with the task of defeating Homura, Valkyrie's successor, he sees it as his chance to redeem himself.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: {{Subverted|Trope}}. He seems like a throwaway villain when he gets demolished in the Nero 66 arc with little fanfare, but he's shown to have been repaired and upgraded after the TimeSkip, getting more characterization and a bigger showcase of his abilities in the Lendard arc.
* TheWorfEffect: His [[CurbStompBattle "fight"]] with Jaguar in the Nero 66 arc ends with the latter quickly tearing through him as if he were made of paper, demonstrating how far the Dark Stars are out of their league against someone from the Oración Seis, whether it's the Galáctica or the Interstellar Union Army.
* WorthyOpponent: He comes declares Homura to be a valiant warrior to her friends when they see her seemingly lying dead by his feet.
* YouAreAlreadyDead: During his battle with Homura on Lendard, [[spoiler:Homura's Kitsune Dancing Blades slice right through Brigandine's body to make him [[LiterallyShatteredLives crumble apart]]. However, his body holds together long enough for him to share one last talk with Homura over how she could defeat him, and to praise her when her friends find her [[DisneyDeath supposedly dead]] minutes later, before finally collapsing in a shattered heap.]]

He's not the one responsible for building the server that drives the planet's robots insane, (that's treated as Ziggy's doing), but he still has influence over the robots' behavior, and is positioned as the main and final obstacle the heroes must overcome in the arc.
* BaldOfEvil: He has lost most of his hair, but is just as evil as when his head was full of hair.
* BlackEyesOfCrazy: The whites of Müller's eyes turn black several times: once when he has Hermit [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty strung up and at his mercy]], and again out of shock upon piecing Young Weisz's identity together.
* TheBusCameBack: Originally a PredecessorVillain appearing in flashbacks to Hermit's DarkAndTroubledPast, Müller returns in the Foresta arc as a cyborg under Ziggy's employment.
* CombatTentacles: His robot body's right hand consists of three mechanical tendrils, which can generate an electrical shock powerful enough to paralyze Weisz's body and dismantle his Arsenal Suit.
* {{Cyborg}}: He has been rebuilt as an O-Tech in the years since Hermit last saw him, the only organic piece of him being his head.
* DramaticIrony: After spending so much of his time despising robots, one escape attempt gone terribly awry forces him to adopt a robotic body.
* EvilIsPetty: The Rutherfords were an influential and rich family that supported his work until he was arrested, after which they rather understandably withdrew it once his crimes came to light. Once he escaped prison, he killed the parents and kidnapped their children to perform cruel experiments on, dissecting Jinn and turning him into a cyborg while [[ForcedToWatch forcing Kleene to watch]].
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Arsenal cuts him in half at the waist with [[BladeBelowTheShoulder Grandee Wing]], but he just laughs it off and retaliates while musing on how becoming an O-Tech [[DidntNeedThoseAnyway lets him ignore things like this]]. This ends up contributing to his defeat, however, as [[BigDamnHeroes Laguna arrives]] and short-circuits him via hitting an exposed sparking wire in his severed torso with water.
* HateSink: He was already one before his return in the Foresta Arc, but he manages to outdo himself. Not is he responsible for the incident on Foresta, but he murdered Jinn and Kleene's parents and is the reason why Jinn is a cyborg and Kleene lost her emotions.
* HypocriticalHumor: He calls Professor Weisz a "freak" for declining to publish a groundbreaking theory he'd proven, giving up all the accolades and benefits that would've come with it. The younger Weisz takes this poorly, seeing how it's coming from a MadScientist who blew up a planet of robots just because he hated them, and turned to human experimentation after discovering the joys of being a {{cyborg}}.
* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: There's an ''extremely'' creepy vibe in the way he immobilizes Hermit and goes on about how much he wants to "experiment" with her body again.
* InsufferableGenius: He can't help but toot his own horn about how advanced his O-Tech body is. In fact, the [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseWritingSystem kanji]] for "genius" is engraved on his back.
* KarmicTransformation: {{Subverted|Trope}}. After escaping from prison and having to rebuild himself as an O-Tech, he claims to have gotten used to his body and actually quite enjoys being part-machine, despite his previously established hatred towards robots.
* LaserGuidedKarma: After fifteen years of sick and twisted experiments conducted ForTheEvulz, he finally gets his just desserts when Weisz obliterates his O-Tech body and leaves him sniveling at the mercy of the less than forgiving Hermit, one of his many undeserving victims. To rub salt in the wound, Hermit tricks him into thinking they're friends again just so she can get his retina scan and hack into the server he was guarding, right before punching him in the face and discarding him just like he did to her years ago.
* LosingYourHead: By the end of his battle with Weisz, Müller's O-Tech body is blown to bits, leaving nothing but his head. He's somehow still able to survive, but can only crawl around pathetically with tiny, retractable arms where his ears used to be.
* LovesTheSoundOfScreaming: He brags about how much he enjoyed hearing Jinn and Kleene cry in agony while he tortured them in his experiments.
* MadnessMakeover: His human appearance has deteriorated further since his last encounter with Hermit, his hair whittling away to thin strands, and his eyes completely stuck with HellishPupils, giving him a creepier and more inhuman appearance than ever before.
* MotiveDecay: His original motivation to destroy all robots was never deep to begin with, but ever since he broke out of prison, his goals have devolved to simply making Hermit suffer and practicing general human experimentation to upgrade his own cyborg body.
* NoSell: He boasts while fighting Arsenal that his years of research and torturing others went into improving his new body so that it would be immune to many different forms of attack, repeatedly claiming that nothing Weisz does is actually hurting him. [[TemptingFate He dearly underestimates how dangerous and creative]] a {{Technopath}} with a grudge really is.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: He's very familiar with the present-day Professor Weisz and his accomplishments (though considering this Weisz is already a huge celebrity within scientific circles, [[TruthInTelevision it makes complete sense]]), and he just so happens to be the one directly responsible for turning Jinn into an O-Tech and giving Kleene her crippling mental trauma.
* TheParalyzer: One of his functions as an O-Tech is to generate an electrical pulse that paralyzes his victims' nerves, leaving them unable to move for limited periods of time.
* TermsOfEndangerment: He refers to Hermit as his "darling little piece of junk" upon reuniting with her.
* TortureTechnician: He cut the limbs of a young Kris as he forced Kleene to watch.
* VillainsWantMercy: After being reduced to a head with little arms attached to it, he doesn't hesitate to grovel before Hermit's feet and beg her to save him while crying. When she points out how many people begged the same thing from him, especially Jinn and Kleene, he tries to state that he didn't kill ''them'' and tells her that he understands that robots have feelings and HumansAreBastards. Hermit makes it clear she will never trust a word that comes out of his mouth again and tricks him into giving her his retina scan to shut down the satellite before punching him out.
* WeCanRebuildHim: He allegedly did this to ''himself'' after losing parts of his body in the explosion he caused to engineer his prison break, somehow turning himself into an O-Tech.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: What happens to him after being punched in the face by Hermit isn't mentioned.
* WhyAmITicking: He's defeated by Weisz grabbing him and using his [[{{Technopath}} Machina Maker]] to reconfigure his vaulted O-Tech body into a bomb which explodes with enough force to blow him to pieces.
* WouldHurtAChild: He dismembered a young Jinn [[ChainsawGood with a chainsaw]] as part of his "experiments". Just to push the envelope further, [[ForcedToWatch he made Kleene watch the whole thing]], destroying her emotionally.
