[[caption-width-right:704:Left to right: Danji, Kento, Manabu, Sanae, Ochame, Tanosuke, Jiro and [[TeamPet Tonsuke]]]]
* CheerfulChild: With the exception of Danji, they're all enthusiastic and hopeful children.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Absolutely none of them are prepared for war, thus resulting in Earl having to train Kento and Danji as pilots, while Manabu helps construct weaponry at the base and Sanae and Ochame help keep it clean. Later on, Manabu invents a mechanical turtle for Jiro and Ochame to travel around in and aid Kento, with Hata occasionally joining them.
* ColorCodedCharacters:
** Kento = Red.
** Danji = Blue.
** Sanae = Pink.
** Tanosuke = Dark Green.
** Jiro = Light Green.
** Manabu = Light Blue.
** Ochame = Light Pink.
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: All their parents died when the Zaal Empire invaded. As standard practice for any planet they invade, they caused mass destruction across Earth's terrae, reducing the population to only a lucky number of survivors.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Most of their families were wiped out by the Zaals. Then there are cases like Danji's where they lost their families to the cruelty of other humans.
* GoodIsDumb: And ''how''. They're ignorant of obvious traps, don't bother to cover their tracks after committing crimes and rebuff Earl's well-meaning advice. The biggest example would be when they received a letter from someone asking to adopt Ochame. ''No one'' in the group thought it was a bad idea to allow a complete stranger to adopt a six-year-old girl and willingly allowed it after meeting said adoptive parent once. [[spoiler: The lady who kidnapped her happened to be a Zaal General in disguise, who holds Ochame hostage. Luckily, they manage to save her.]]
* HomeBase: The Adalus base, which is also Earl's former spaceship, houses the kids and trains them for war.
* KidHero: All of them, even Kento. He may be 15, but he acts as if he's younger, much to Sanae, Danji and Earl's annoyance.
* KidAppealCharacter: Again, all of them. They may be heroes, but they also express desires to enjoy their childhoods like regular kids.
* PerpetualSmiler: Kento because he's an IdiotHero, Sanae because she's a NiceGirl and the children because ChildrenAreInnocent. Danji is the exception.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The heroes are a bunch of quirky kids who lost their parents in the Zaal invasion, with Kento being the TeamDad and Sanae being the TeamMom.
* TheFellowshipHasEnded: Averted. [[spoiler: In the end of the anime, while Harlin and Earl choose to stay in the Galactic Federation, Kento decides to stay on Earth with his friends and help rebuild it from ruins.]]
* TwoGirlsToATeam: Sanae and Ochame. They are mere [[SatelliteCharacter Satellite Characters]] to their male counterparts.

[[folder:Kento Tate]]
!!'''Kento Tate (楯剣人)'''
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Toshio Furukawa, Kazuko Sugiyama (child)
The main character, a hot-blooded, foul-mouthed 15-year-old boy who makes a living by selling things on the black market. Left orphaned by the war, he's become a cynical person and often acts selfishly. When Kento is recruited to be the hero of Daltanious, he's forced to challenge his worst traits so that he can succeed the throne of the Helios Empire.

[[caption-width-right:770:[[labelnote:As a child]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/youngkento.jpg[[/labelnote]]]]

* AlienPrince: Very early into the series, he learns that he's descended from the Helios Empire and is next in line to the throne - a.k.a., the very Empire Earl is from. Kento rejects all claims to royalty, wanting to live a normal human life, and gets irritated when Earl calls him "Kento-[[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics sama]]".
* ArchEnemy: Kloppen is this, because he led the same invasion that claimed the lives of his parents, his friend's parents, and the lives of several innocent human beings. When they meet in-person for the first time, Kento gives him an earful about how much he despises him.
* AttentionWhore: In episode 8, as a result of being famed in-universe for being the pilot of Daltanious, Kento is hailed by the townspeople and treated like a king. Kento doesn't let this go to waste and eagerly absorbs all words of praise and affection, allowing the crowd to carry him on a tarp while singing his praises. The half-lidded eyes and dopey grin he has during the whole thing really sells it.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: His name is literally "Swordsman Shield".
* BigEater: Kento loves food and bonds with the RagtagBunchOfMisfits over it. Unsurprisngly, in a post-apocalyptic world, he makes ends meet by stealing it to survive.
* BookDumb: He tells Earl that he's glad the Zaal Empire invaded because that means he doesn't have to go to school anymore. He neglects improving his skills as a pilot and learning Helios' cultural history in favour of playing with the RagtagBunchOfMisfits and everyone else in the village.
* CallingTheOldManOut: He condemns Earl for his callous attitude towards Ochame and also hits him in the face with an apple for saying "she's just some Earthling".
-->'''Kento:''' ''"If Ochame is just some Earthling, then I'm just Kento Tate!"''
* ChickMagnet: As he's FamedInUniverse, he's got multiple female admirers, and it's also implied Sanae likes him. Catine also counts, but she's a GoldDigger.
* {{Determinator}}: Kento once beat off a pack of wolves with a stick while barely being able to move out of a desire to see Sanae again.
* DisappearedDad: Kento's father, Hayato, was a sailor. When he was four, Hayato went missing while he was on one of his regular sea expeditions. [[spoiler: By the time he returns, three-fifths of his family[[note]]Kimiyo, Kazuto and his daughter[[/note]] have already died, leaving Kento as the SoleSurvivor.]]
* DramaticIrony: [[spoiler: Kento is accused of being a clone by Kloppen, and turned away from many potential allies as a result. Guess who turns out to be an actual clone?]]
* DrivenToSuicide: After facing humiliating defeat at the hands of Kloppen, Kento starts hearing voices in his head of his deceased mother and sister, telling him to join them. At one point he even hears ''Sanae's'' voice tell him to pull the trigger on himself. He doesn't, though.
* {{Expy}}: Take [[Anime/VoltesV Kenichi]], drop his IQ by 400 points, and add in {{Jerkass}} and BigEater attributes. That's Kento. They're both pilots of CombiningMecha that primarily wear red, and [[spoiler: both of their fathers were also [[AlienPrince Alien Princes]] forced to flee their home planets because of turmoil, while their mothers were human women from Japan, making them [[HalfHumanHybrid Half-Human Hybrids]]. In the GrandFinale of both anime, they put an end to the fascist empires that caused their fathers to flee in the first place and reinstate a new era of peace over war]].[[note]]On a meta level, they even have the same character designer, Yuki Hijiri[[/note]]
* ExtremelyProtectiveChild: He vehemently rejects a duel Kloppen proposed between him and [[spoiler: Harlin.]] When [[spoiler: Harlin]] insists that he should do it, Kento offers to fight in his stead.
* FamedInStory: After Daltanious began repelling Kloppen's robots, word spread of an Earthern robot fighting the Zaal tyranny to other planets, inspiting them to start several rebellions. Even on Earth, Kento receives a lot of fan mail and public support for his position as Daltanious' pilot.
* FriendToAllChildren: Before he discovered Daltanious, Kento and Sanae spent their days trying to make sure the orphans had enough to eat and were taken care of. After he's FamedInStory, he shares the rewards of being famous with them as well.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's frequently rude to all his friends, he puts down Earl who wants the best for him, the local townspeople hate him because he steals from them and incites chaos, and he's HotBlooded to the point nearly any attempt to talk with him ends in a screaming match.
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** In the first episode, Sanae tells him off for stealing and says he should get a real job instead. She has no response when Kento replies that honesty won't fill their stomachs.
** While he's often rude to Earl, he's also a fifteen year old boy, and for Earl to put the burden of piloting a SuperRobot on a child is ridiuculous.
** He often calls out Earl's LackOfEmpathy, being particularly angered when Earl displays a lack of care for small children like Ochame and Jiro.
* GoodIsNotNice: Kento is prone to insulting people if they suggest anything that could be read as a personal attack on his ego, and lets the fame of being the Daltanious pilot go to his head.
* TheGunslinger: When he's not piloting Daltanious, his main weapon is a gun.
* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler: His father, Hayato Tate, is actually Prince Harlin of the Helios Empire, while his mother, Kimiyo, was a human. This makes his sister one too, but sadly she died when the Zaal invaded and she was hit by the building's falling debris.]]
* HandicappedBadass: Situational example - after he's badly battered and bruised by the Zaal's foot soldiers, he's so weak that he requires a staff to walk. [[{{Determinator}} And then he uses it to fight off a pack of wild wolves so he can have their morsel to eat.]]
* HeritageDisconnect: Kento rejects his Heliosian heritage at every turn. The opposite can be said of his Japanese side - his grandfather was a traditional Japanese kite painter, something the boy took great interest in.
* TheHero: Not a very virtuous one.
* HotBlooded: The dim-witted kind. He is always up for a fight, prone to overreacting to criticsm and the children's well-meaning-but-rough TeamDad.
* IdiotHero: He often writes off helpful advice and acts on his impulses. He's also prone to moments of selfishness and acts on his own interests rather than what's helpful for humanity as a whole.
* TheLeader: Of the RagtagBunchOfMisfits, alongside Sanae.
* RedOniBlueOni: Kento is implusive and emotional while Danji is more calm and calculating.
* RedIsHeroic: All his costumes have some form of red on them.
* RichesToRags: Kento was once a moderately rich boy who lived in downtown Tokyo with his mother and sister. They ran a supermarket, and never had to worry about food insecurity. Come 1995, the Zaal Empire invaded and left Earth in ruins, and a now-motherless and sisterless Kento has to resort to stealing food to survive.
* TeamDad: While Sanae takes on a motherly role for the kids, Kento steals food for them, teaches them how to play rough and risks himself for them when they're in danger.
* UnfortunateNames: ''Tate''. He also mans a SuperRobot that has attacks powered by "Sigma Energy", including the "Sigma Beam".
* UngratefulTownsfolk: Averted. The townspeople thank him in the form of food and other gifts for keeping them safe.
* VerbalTic: Tends to react with "なぁんたること!"[[note]]"whatever!"[[/note]] to Earl.
* WouldHurtAChild: Kento smacks Jiro ''hard'' because he teased him for being fed by a Princess.

[[folder:Danji Hiiragi]]
!!'''Danji Hiiragi (柊弾児)'''

[[quoteright:770:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/danji8.jpg]]

[[caption-width-right:770:[[labelnote:Suited]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/danjihiiragi.jpg[[/labelnote]]]]
[[caption-width-right:770:[[labelnote:Suited, without helmet]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/danji3.png[[/labelnote]]]]

* AcePilot: When Danji pilots the Ganper for the first time, he's terrible at it and nearly hits Kento. It takes a few episodes for him to learn the ropes and become this trope.
* AffectionateNickname: He calls Sanae "Sanae-san", which indicates he greatly respects her.
* BerserkButton: Insulting his father and calling him a "criminal". Even after Earth is ravaged by the Zaal, he never stops searching for ways to prove his innocence.
* BlueIsHeroic: Danji is blue-coded to Kento's red, and he pilots the Ganper, which helps form Daltanious.
* HidingBehindYourBangs: Fitting to his closed-off nature, Danji's hair is styled this way.
* HotBlooded: Danji has this in common with Kento. While he appears to be the TheQuietOne amongst the RagtagBunchOfMisfits, he's a different person when he's enraged. [[spoiler: When he finds the man who committed the crime his father was hanged for, he screams at him to turn himself in and behaves in a way that he's never acted before. This doesn't stop him from feeling sad for his death.]]
* HotBloodedSideburns: While he is the blue oni, he's just as passionate to protect the Earth as Kento and has these.
* IOweYouMyLife: Sanae once saved him when he was injured, something he never forgets.
-->'''Danji:''' ''"Sanae-san, I won't let you die... Just like you helped me, now it's my turn to help you."''
* MoralityPet: His is Sanae. She is the chain that holds him back from letting his wrath consume him and harm others, and it is implied he has feelings for her.
* TheQuietOne: In contrast to the loud Kento, Danji often speaks in one liners. He's also aloof towards the group of orphans Kento and Sanae care for.
* RedOniBlueOni: While Kento is quick to act on instinct, Danji approaches situations with a calm head.
* SinsOfOurFathers: His father was hanged for a crime he didn't commit, and Danji spent years trying to prove his innocence. [[spoiler: He eventually finds the man who committed the crime his father was hanged for, who expresses great remorse at what he's done. He has since become TheAtoner and donated his eyesight to a disabled young boy, before sacrificing his life to help Daltanious.]]
* SourOutsideSadInside: Danji isn't a {{Jerkass}} like Kento, but due to witnessing heavy trauma at a young age, he's aloof and barely shows emotion. Only the kind Sanae can get him to speak and interact with others in a genuine manner.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Kento. Both are HotBlooded young men, and because of that their ideals tend to clash, but Kento is more of an IdiotHero while Danji is reserved, though he has a hidden temper.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Sanae Shiratori]]
!!'''Sanae Shiratori (白鳥早苗)'''
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KeikoHan
A kind-hearted girl who cares for Kento, Danji and the RagtagBunchOfMisfits left orphaned after the war. She acts motherly towards them and is disgusted by all kinds of violence. She often calls out Kento and Danji when they are misbehaving.
----
[[quoteright:770:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sanaeshiratori.jpg]]

[[caption-width-right:770:[[labelnote:Suited]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sanaeoutfit2.jpg[[/labelnote]]]]

* ActualPacifist: Extreme case. In one episode, some thieves steal her kimono. When an angry Danji is ready to use his fists on them , she tells them that she can't stand to see him violent, and instead offers herself up as a target.
-->'''Sanae:''' ''"If you must hit anyone out of your anger, hit me!"''
* AffectionateNickname:
** Danji calls her "Sanae-san".
** Because she's a FriendToAllChildren, the neighbourhood kids call her "Big Sis".
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Even Sanae isn't above [[https://cdn.clipkit.co/tenants/1415/item_images/images/001/231/576/medium/9eefc75b11c3ac6ced9044f13d2f6c55.jpg?1469207330 reprimanding]] Kento for his bratty behaviour.
* CoolBigSis: She's seen as this because she helps care for the children and teaches them household skills.
* EmbarrassingNickname: When Catine enters the Adalus Base for the first time, she's surprised to see that Kento has a female companion with him. Threatened by the prospect of Kento loving someone else, she asks if Sanae is his "servant girl", making her angry. When Kento says that she isn't, she's his friend, Catine snidely remarks that she would have thought Sanae was his servant girl anyway because of how poor she looks.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: Her specialty is cooking and housework.
* FlatCharacter: Sanae's personality is essentially the sole NiceGirl in a world full of HotBlooded idiots. She's very girly, likes to cook and clean, and does the chores and housework of the Adalus Base. She also restrains Kento and Danji when their tempers overtake them and she's pacifistic to the highest degree. She almost never, ever gets mad.
* FlowersOfFemininity: One of her hobbies is picking flowers.
* GirlishPigtails: Tied up with a big pink bow.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Sanae is oblivious to how much of her skin her bikini reveals, and presents herself to Akira with a smile.
* TheMedic: Her late parents were doctors, so Sanae wants to follow in their footsteps and become one herself. She specializes in healing all types of injuries, and will often clean up the boys after a nasty brawl.
* MissFanservice: Sanae wears a two-piece skimpy bikini that shows off a lot of her body. It consists of a hot-pink bra with thin strings around her back, and a hot-pink skirt that barely covers her thighs.
* TeamMom: As per her [[FlatCharacter characterization]], Sanae is the polar opposite of Kento's passionate, [[HotBlooded hot-blooded]] TeamDad. She has no interest in fighting and opts to watch from the sidelines, being happy to fulfill whatever menial tasks the Adalus base requires her to do.
* NiceGirl: Sanae is welcoming to all and frequently puts others before herself. When she learned that a guest was coming to the Adalus base, she personally picked flowers to decorate his room, warming his heart.
* PinkIsFeminine: Her bow, her civilian outfit and her bikini are all pink.
* PromotedToParent: Sanae lost her own parents in the invasion and is surprisingly not too beat up about it, happily fulfilling a maternal figure role to her fellow orphaned children.
* SatelliteCharacter: Sanae orbits around Kento and Danji, and her most significant action in the story is making sure they don't kill themselves (or each other) with their recklessness. Any time the spotlight is on her, it's to emphasize that she enjoys doing stereotypically feminine things, such as cooking and cleaning, for the Adalus base.
* ShipTease: Jiro suggests that Sanae is jealous of the attention that Kento gets from Catine, and Kento often has [[ImagineSpot Imagine Spots]] of her.

----
[[quoteright:524:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ochame.jpg]]

* AfricaIsACountry: According to Earl, Beralios and Meralios were brought "from Africa" to Helios at the behest of the Emperor.
* AnimalMecha: Beralios is a gigantic robotic lion and forms 1/3rd of the titular robot. Unlike the other two units, he is sentient.
* CallOnMe: Beralios always comes to Kento when its name is called, no matter where he is.
* EyeBeams: Beralios, the mechanical lion, is equipped with these.
* ItCanThink: While Atlaus and Gunper have no minds of their own, Beralios does. This is because it unlike them, it wasn't born a robot. [[spoiler: Beralios is even capable of crying and wept upon seeing Meralion's corpse.]]
* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler: Beralios was taken from Africa to Helios with another lion, Meralion, and they were turned into {{Robeast|s}}. Unfortunately, Meralion would fall into the enemy's hands. When Beralios and Meralion reunite, Kento attempts to free her from the Zaal's control, only for them to kill her. With the death of Meralion, Beralios weeps and by forming Daltanious, avenges her by crushing the Bemborg.]]
* {{Robeast}}: While most {{Robeast|s}} depicted in the show are evil, Beralios is one of the few good ones. This likely has something to do with the fact that he's with affiliated with The Helios Empire.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it '''Beralios''' or '''Veralios'''?
* WasOnceAMan: He was originally a male lion from Earth who was captured by Heliosian researchers and experimented on.

[[folder:Daltanious]]
!!Daltanious (ダルタニアス)
A HumongousMecha created by Earl to fight against the Zaal Empire. Daltanious is created by combining three mechas: Atlas, Gamper, and Velarios. It is 56 ​​meters tall and weighs 678 tons.

Initially, Daltanious was powered by sigma energy, but made a switch to hyperspace energy to strengthen its output. This increased the results of the flame sword and made it possible to use flame attacks.

* ChestBlaster: Sigma Beam and Chodenji Eraser, which erupt from the lion's mouth on Daltanious' chest.

* CreepyCrosses: Daltanious is studded by what looks like the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_Templar#/media/File:Bandeira_Templ%C3%A1ria.svg Templar cross]], but the anime makes no explicit reference to UsefulNotes/{{Christianity}}.

!Aliens
!!Helios Empire (エリオス帝国)
A kingdom that existed on the planet Helios. Before the events of the series, it was destroyed by the Zaal Interstellar Empire. Some survivors, like Prince Harlin and Dr. Earl, fled to Earth, while the other survivors were scattered across the planets.
[[folder:In general]]
[[quoteright:360:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heliosempire.png]]
* CloneArmy: [[spoiler: Each member of the Royal Family has a clone of their own - for Harlin, it's Kloppen, for Palmion, it's Dolmen. However, due to the fact that the clones were treated badly, Dolmen rebelled and created his own empire.]]
* CrapsaccharineWorld: [[spoiler: Unbeknownst to the masses, underneath the exterior of glamour and nobility of the Helios Empire exists a dark secret - the sacrifices of clones. At some unknown point in history, the Empire began manufacturing clones every time a member of the Royal Family was born. This was done to keep the bloodline intact, as well as to ensure that the Royal Family always had a heir. From cradle to grave, the clones were forced to surveil their prototype's life from their prisons. If the prototype was injured, the clone would be forced to receive the exact injury. If the prototype died, the clone was sent in their place. When the clone outlived their usefulness, they would be eliminated to make way for the new successor. No matter what they did, the clones were simply puppets of their senior vassals. Although these facts were a secret only to the royal family, the oppression of clones was a common practice in Elios.]]
* CreateYourOwnVillain: [[spoiler: The clones bringing Helios's downfall was likely inevitable, as the empire frequently tortured them, harvested their organs, and treated them like second-class citizens. Given how they were produced en masse As Dolmen even lampshades that even if Daltanious kills him, as long as clones exist, their wrath and generational trauma will always exist. Harlin, to avert this, passes laws forbidding the discrimination of clones when he becomes crowned King.]]
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[spoiler: The way the Helios Empire treats clones is similar to how Nazi officers and members of the SS treated Jewish people in concentration camps, from isolating them to prison cells, forcing them to endure extreme torture and killing them off once they outlive their usefulness.]]
* TheEmpire: Formerly. [[spoiler: The Zaal Empire tore them down as revenge for centuries of oppression.]]
* FantasticRacism: Enforced. [[spoiler: The Helios Empire created the clones for the purpose of serving the Royal Family's interests, which meant also subjecting them to cruel torture to keep them in check. Hatred of clones was rampant across many different planets, to the point that when Harlin/Hayato was suspected of being one by the Kingdom of Proxia, he was abandoned and offered to Zaal.]]
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler: Had they not maltreated their clones, none of ''Daltanious'' would have ever happened.]]
* HumanAliens: The people of planet Helios resemble humans, while their Zaal counterparts are more monstrous-looking.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler: Emperor Dolmen was also one of these clones. Out of resentment for being oppressed as a clone of Emperor Palmion, he built the Zaal Empire and eventually destroyed the Helios Empire.]]
* SuccessionCrisis: [[spoiler: The Helios Empire feared that one day, they would lose their heirs to outside influence. To avert this, they began producing clones of the Royal Family every time a member was born and trained them to follow in their footsteps.]]
* ThemeNaming: The Royals tend to have names that end with "-en".
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler: Dolmen recalls his childhood under The Helios Empire being filled with blood-curdling words and deliberate torture to ensure that he would be the perfect clone of Palmion.]]

[[folder:Earl]]
!!'''Earl (アール博士)'''
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Toshiya Sugita
A former senator of the Helios Empire and the scientist who developed Daltanias. [[spoiler: He also guided Prince Harlin for a short while on Earth, before setting them both to sleep for fifty years.]]
----
[[quoteright:418:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/earlw.png]]
* BabysittersNightmare: All the kids in general, but Kento in particular. As the pilot of Daltanious and future Emperor of Helios, Earl tries to get the boy to take his duties seriously, only to be rebuffed and mocked each time. Kento addresses Earl as "Old Man" whenever he's speaking to him and often responds to him with "whatever!"[[note]]"なぁんたること!"[[/note]]
* BigGood: He's the opposite of Dolmen, and wants a world free of Zaal tyranny.
* CallingTheYoungManOut: He does his best to steer Kento into being an ideal Prince and diplomat, despite Kento repeatedly stating that he has no interest in it. His repeated rebellions against Earl cause them to butt heads.
* CoolOldGuy: While Kento disrespects Earl, Manabu idolizes him because of his immense knowledge and becomes his assistant. Sanae also views him as such.
* CrustyCaretaker: To be fair, if that kid was [[{{Jerkass}} Kento]], you'd be one too.
* GoneHorriblyWrong: Downplayed. [[spoiler: When him and Harlin departed from Helios to Earth, he set up his cryo-sleep device to awaken them both in 50 years. Somehow, this malfunctioned, and Harlin awoke much earlier than he should have. He was found by a kind Japanese couple who raised him as their own, and gave him the name "Hayato". Believing himself to be of Japanese heritage like his parents, he forgot his memories of being born as the Prince of Helios. He only found out the truth when as an adult, his ship was wrecked, he was saved by a fellow Heliosian who told him of his true heritage.]]
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Earl states many times that he doesn't care about the fate of the Earth and Helios takes priority. Over time he grows a heart and learns to have compassion for both nations.
* LackOfEmpathy: Big time. Earl often prioritizes pragmatism in combat and the mission to save Helios over morality. For example, when Beralios felt saddened about having to fight Meralion, Earl suggested that Beralios be reprogrammed to forget her. He's called out for this by Kento.
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: [[spoiler: Downplayed, but Earl still wanted the Helios Empire to rise from the ashes and exist once more, unlike Harlin who was shocked at the brutality of the Helios Empire and decided to let it stay finished for good.]]
* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite initially critisizing Kento for searching for the TeamPet, when they eventually do locate him, he jumps with joy.
* OlderAndWiser: Earl is the eldest of the main cast ([[spoiler: in fact, he's over a century old]]) and the one who invented Daltanious. This is contrasted by the young Manabu, who's a pre-teen genius and creates upgrades to the robot.
* ResentfulGuardian: Downplayed, but he's fed up with Kento's bratty behaviour and frequently criticizes him for not being like his father.
* SurroundedByIdiots: A rare heroic example with Dr. Earl's frustration with the hijinks of Kento and his gang.
* ThisCannotBe: [[spoiler: When Namil claims that Harlin was a clone of Kloppen, Earl refuses to believe it and exasperatedly grabs his head.]]
* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler: Earl is aghast when he sees that his old friend Dr. Namil (who was once loyal to Emperor Palmion) is now working with the Zaal Empire and a confidant of Kloppen. Earl repeatedly refuses to believe his claims of Kloppen being the true Prince of Helios. He actually is right, but he didn't know it then.]]

Unfortunately, a malfunction happened and Harlin instead awoke in 1945. Luckily, a kind couple, the Tate family, adopted him after he was found wandering the streets. Due to his young age, he forgot his DarkAndTroubledPast, and believed he was a Japanese boy named Hayato Tate until Melipole informed of the truth.]]

Unbeknownst to Kazuto, the boy was no ordinary human - he was Crown Prince Harlin of the Helios Empire.]]
* {{Hallucinations}}: [[spoiler: As a child, Hayato would often receive vivid visions of another world, but didn't know where they were from. These were actually his memories of his true home, the Helios Empire. He became a sailor so that one day, he could find the mysterious place that frequently appeared in his mind.]]
* LukeIAmYourFather:
** [[spoiler: Harlin, the long-lost Prince of Helios, is Kento's father. However, he didn't know this until after he was an adult.]]
** [[spoiler: Since Kloppen is his clone, that means he was made from Harlin's DNA. Depending on how you read this, he's either his brother or his son. This was somewhat hinted at due to their similar appearances, but confirmed for good in episode 41/42.]]
* MadeASlave: [[spoiler: He was temporarily made a slave on the Planet Marios, but he took the opportunity to make friends and escape together.]]
* NiceGuy: [[spoiler: He is a benevolent person, even in the darkest of situations. His kindness attracts many to befriend him. He's even kind to Kloppen, telling him that he doesn't view him as an enemy even though he's a clone.]]

Afterwards, Kento's grandfather Kazuto became the prime paternal presence in his life and helped his mother raise him and his sister. Hayato was actually saved by a fellow Helosian, Melipole, but forcibly enslaved later on. In Episode 31, the cruiser he captured was sunk by the Zaal, but he also survived that and came back seven episodes later.]]

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler: When Kento tells him his mother and sister died, Harlin's usually happy and upbeat demeanor takes a serious turn as he stares at the supermarket they used to live in and manage. Harlin stares at it sadly and whispers words of apologies to Kimiyo and his daughter.]]

* AbhorrentAdmirer: She ''really, really'' wants the Heliosian throne and will do whatever it takes to get it. She travels all the way from Proxia to Earth so that she can woo the descendant of Palmillion, the last Emperor of Helios. Unfortunately, she's oblivious to how her pushyness is rather [[IncrediblyLamePun alienating]] to him.
* AlienPrincess: Of the Kingdom of Proxia. However, she's of the RichBitch variety and looks down on humans and clones.
* AlphaBitch: She's nothing but a haughty bully to Sanae and enjoys picking on her insecurities. While Sanae is aggravated by her, she refuses to talk back and holds her anger within.
* ArchEnemy: She thinks Sanae is the reason why Kento doesn't return her affections, rather than the fact that she's just not that appealing as a person. As a result, she's frequently rude to Sanae and insults her by calling her a "servant girl".
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She originally presented herself as an ally to the Adalus Base, but actually only cared about marrying Kento so that she could become the Queen of Helios.
* CoolCrown: Hers is exquisitely designed. It has three prongs at the center, two prongs near the ends, and two leaves at the side, all made of gold.
* TheDitz: She's not very bright and tends to get angry over small things. Even Judela admits it.
* DubNameChange: In the Italian dub, she was known as '''Principessa Florinda'''.
* DudeMagnet: In spite of her horrible personality, both Kento and Hata remark that she's a beautiful lady. Though, the former is surprised when, moments after meeting him, she gets on her knees and says that she wants to be by his side forever.
* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: Once Catine's bigotry towards clones is revealed to Kento, he's enraged, and his anger worsens when he finds out that Catine and Judela worked with the Zaal to have him killed. While he rages at Catine, he's stopped when he recalls Gascon telling him not to hold on to things because the universe is vast and infinite. Thus, he decides to spare the Proxian Princess and her lady-in-waiting from his wrath.]]

* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Both of her outfits are mostly purple, and her hat is a pretty lavender colour.
* GreenEyedMonster: She tries hard to win over Kento's heart, such as trying to feed him with a spoon during the banquet. When she senses Kento disliked it, she throws a tantrum afterwards, howling as she blames Sanae for "stealing his heart".
* TheLoad: Catine is a stupid, self-obsessed gold digger who wants Kento's attention more than anything and even pilots a Mecha during one of his battles (despite not having any experience with it) so that he would look at her.
* RichBitch: Catine looks down on Kento's friends for not being of RoyalBlood. When she hosts a banquet, she says that only Kento is invited. He has to convince her to let his friends attend, and she reluctantly does.
* RoyalBlood: She is the daughter of the King of Proxia.
* ShipperOnDeck: While Catine hopes to wed Kento, she proposes the idea of Judela getting together with Earl because of their old ages.

Judela also stares at him lovingly, and later, she laughs when Catine brings it up.

* DeadpanSnarker: Episode 34. Judela finally gets sick of Catine's tantrums and claps back when she blames her.
-->'''Judela''' ''"If you courted him harder, he would have wanted to be with you"''
* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: Judela and Catine are bigoted towards clones, and when they're told Kento is one, they're disgusted.

* AirborneAircraftCarrier: They have a diverse array of airships that primarily engage in BeamSpam on the planets they invade.
* AlienInvasion: By the start of ''Daltanious'', they've already conquered Earth and destroyed the framework of its nations - now humans try to survive in their makeshift villages in lands full of no law and order. A common practice for them is to completely demolish a nation, place surveillance robots to put down any opposition and kill anyone suspected of being a clone.

Neshia is hated by Prozarus and Boider for being a [[PlantAliens Plant Alien]], and Kloppen turns his own pet into a {{Robeast}} because he's embarassed about being a failure in Dolmen's eyes.
* MultinationalTeam: They're recruited from all over the galaxy, though they're not above FantasticRacism to one another.
* PragmaticVillainy: As the Zaal Empire is a fairly new nation that lacks a proper populace, it opens opportunities to people from all planets, which leads to it's denizens being a diverse MultinationalTeam. [[spoiler: Even clones are allowed in their ranks!]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it the '''Zaal, Zaar, Zar, Zahl, Saar,''' or '''Saal''' Empire?
* TakeOverTheWorld: With the destruction of Helios complete, the Zaal Empire is confident that it's only a matter of time until the rest of the world falls to their clutches.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: [[spoiler: Harlin is reviled amongst the Zaal for his [[LackOfEmpathy domineering cruelty]], with most showing him obedience out fear, rather than respect. Even Dolmen truly never loved him and viewed him as a pawn at best. It is only after allying himself with the Adalus Base that he experiences a brief amount of genuine friendship...before he chooses to sacrifice himself for Harlin's sake.]]
* AbusiveParents: His relationship with Dolmen. Dolmen speaks to him in a way that encourages his most violent aspects, while threatening him with consequences if he disregards them. Whenever Kloppen loses to Daltanious, Dolmen subjects him to a tirade of insults. [[spoiler: He also deliberately hid the fact that he was a clone from him.]]
* AgentPeacock: He has thick hair, long eyelashes and wears his hair in curls. He's also a ruthless murderer with a DarkAndTroubledPast.
* AnimalMotifs: His hair and armour resemble a lion's mane.
* ArchEnemy:
** Kloppen deems Kento one, because Daltanious became a symbol of freedom amongst the other planets invaded by the Zaal. The fact that Daltanious is from Earth, a nation the Zaal supposedly ravaged, also makes him feel insecure.
** He also considers Prince Harlin one because he thinks that Harlin is his clone, and clones don't deserve to live. [[spoiler: It's actually the other way around.]]
* AwfulTruth: [[spoiler: Kloppen is Prince Harlin's clone. When he was a child, Dr. Namil brought him to Dolmen so that he could groom the boy into being his successor. Because he wanted the Emperor to accept him into his services, Namil helped Dolmen groom him and reinforced the lie that he was the actual Prince by telling him the Imperial Cross on his arm was proof of his heritage. He raised the boy into following Dolmen's footsteps and being a warrior for the Zaal Empire. After he had grown into an adult, Namil had a change of heart and exposed the truth to everyone. In his pre-recorded video, he admitted there was a way to differentiate clones from their prototypes - clones, when exposed to UV radiation, will experience detoriation in their skins. Kloppen is hit with a UV ray and his skin detoriates - and then he realizes that his entire life has been a lie.]]
* BadBoss: He abuses his subordinates for petty reasons such as "showing weakness" and being unable to bring down Daltanious.
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: After using Nova as a means to maul those he disliked, [[spoiler: Kloppen eventually has the poor animal tortured and turned into a Super Robot that he sends after Daltanious. Daltanious rips Nova to shreds in the battle.]]
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Kloppen has devastated nearly every planet in the galaxy with his military leadership, and when Kento screams at him for murdering his family and loved ones, Kloppen can only laugh.
* CoolMask: There's actually a very sad reason for it. [[spoiler: Dolmen wanted to hide that Kloppen was a clone. He only allowed Kloppen to remove it after he was certain Prince Harlin was dead.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: Groomed from a young age by Dolmen to be a pawn for the Zaal Empire, Kloppen in actuality is a clone, something the Zaal Empire looks down upon. Kloppen had a mental breakdown when he found out the teuth, as he had been raised to hate clones.]]
* DeflectorShields: Uses them against Kento when he tries to shoot at him.
* DemotedToDragon: [[spoiler: Once it's found out he's a clone, he's booted from his position and Neshia is promoted to General in his place. Kloppen is humiliated and turned into a hostage so that the Zaal could fall into the Adalus base's good graces. However, Kento refuses to take him, saying that those who sell out their own allies are cowards unworthy of joining his side. Touched by Kento's mercy, Kloppen apostates from the Zaal and switches sides to the humans.]]
* TheDragon: To Dolmen. Valuing his brutality in warfare, Kloppen was assigned to lead the AlienInvasion of many planets and [[spoiler: subjugate the political dissidents of the Zaal Empire.]] However, Dolmen isn't impressed with Kloppen's failures and constantly threatens to have him executed if he doesn't put down the robot causing the Zaal Empire unnecessary grief. [[spoiler: Kloppen is eventually demoted for good and abandoned by Dolmen after the truth of his creation comes out.]]
* DirtyCoward: A hilarious example when he chases Prince Harlin off a cliff and tries to execute him, causing Harlin to fall. Once Daltanious emerges from the sea and carries him to safety, Kloppen has an OhCrap moment and tries to run away.
* DramaticIrony: [[spoiler: Kloppen falsely accuses Kento of being a clone, marking him with shame amongst the alienfolk. Come episode 42, it's revealed that ''Kloppen'' was the clone - of Kento's father, Hayato.]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: [[spoiler: Sics Nova, his panther, on one of his own men because he expressed fear at Daltanious, stating that he did not want weaklings on his team.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: When Dolmen tasks him to kill his adoptive father, Dr. Namil, Dolmen stares in blank silence and hesitates to press the button.
* EvilCounterpart: [[spoiler: No prizes for guessing who's.]]
* ExactEavesdropping: [[spoiler: After he's knocked out in battle, he awakens in the Adalus base and hears Kento begging Earl to do whatever he can to keep him and his father alive. Kento acknowledges that while Kloppen did bad things in the past, he's trying to turn over a new leaf and is deserving of mercy. Kloppen is shocked that Kento is still willing to forgive him after everything, and feels a newfound bond with the boy.]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Kento:''' ''"Please, Old Man! Do whatever you can to save my father and Kloppen! I know Kloppen was once our enemy...I know he killed my father and Ochame's...he killed so many, but he's trying to repent for everything! He risked his own life many times in order to save us!" *wipes tears from his eyes* "Like when he saved Adalus! Save my father and Kloppen! I beg of you!"'']]
* [[FallenPrincess Fallen Prince]]: [[spoiler: Well, more like Fallen General, but once it's found out he's a clone, his own generals betray him and try to defect to the Adalus base, offering Kloppen as a hostage. Kento is having none of that.]]
* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler: After he willingly chooses to give up his organs for Harlin's sake, he professes the following:]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Kloppen:''' ''"Glory to the entire galaxy...! Glory to Harlin, the leader of the entire galaxy, the crown prince of the Helios Empire!"'']]
* {{Jerkass}}: He is extremely cruel to his underlings and punishes them for any sign of weakness. [[spoiler: It's no surprise they all turned on him once they got the chance]]. In general, Kloppen is an arrogant, haughty and despicable General who views everyone that isn't Dolmen as inferior to him.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: 42 episodes in, he comes to terms with the AwfulTruth and realizes that he doesn't want to die for Dolmen's cause.]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Kloppen:''' ''"Kento Tate, I will no longer fight you. A new enemy has appeared to me. His name is Dolmen!"'']]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: After his own side betrays him, and Kento welcomes him with open arms, Kloppen realizes that Dolmen was the true villain all along. He willingly gives up his organs to a severely injured Harlin, even though Kento tries to stop him. Kloppen, despite being injured, forces himself towards Harlin and sings his praises as his last words.]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Kloppen:''' ''"Transplanting my organs into Harlin isn't just for him, it's also for me. I want to live through him! Harlin! This body I received from you...I will now give it back!"'']]
* NobleDemon: Kloppen started out as an obsessed warlord, and was reviled by his associates for his cruel nature, [[spoiler: but by the end of the series, he's surrendered his violent tendencies and works with the heroes to defeat Dolmen. Kento is moved by how Kloppen risked his life several times to save them, and before the GrandFinale, he sacrifices himself to give Harlin a second chance at living.]]
* OhCrap: When he believes that he has Harlin cornered, he believes that he can finally end him for good...only for Daltanious to rise behind him. Kloppen's facial expression suggests he knows he's screwed.
* {{Patricide}}: [[spoiler: Dolmen had Kloppen murder his adoptive father, Dr. Namil, because he feared Namil would reveal the boy's secret to him.]]
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: While Kloppen apostates from the Zaal Empire after they shun him for being a clone, he performs one last heroic act before dying - willingly offering his intact organs to Harlin, even though he's injured himself. He refuses to take no for an answer when Kento disagrees, and it's all thanks to him that Harlin is able to live and establish the Galactic Federation Republic at the end of the series.]]
* RoyalBlood: [[spoiler: Kloppen thinks that he is the son of the Emperor of Helios, and Harlin is the clone. Oh, the irony!]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it '''Kloppen''' or '''Cloppen'''?
* StaffOfAuthority: His staff is gold and has a round green gemstone encrusted on the top.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: As seen on the page image, Kloppen was once a wide-eyed scared little boy, who was groomed to be a hateful later on due to his position as [[spoiler: Harlin's clone]].
* WeHaveReserves: No one is safe from this, as Kloppen is willing to toss out everyone under his command to stop Daltanious.
* YouAreWhatYouHate: [[spoiler: Kloppen calls clones "the most abominable things in all of space". Now, take a gander as to why he has such a strong physical resemblance to Harlin...]]
* YouKilledMyFather: It was Kloppen who led the attack that killed Kento's mother and sister.

!Aliens
!!Helios Empire (エリオス帝国)
A kingdom that existed on the planet Helios. Before the events of the series, it was destroyed by the Zaal Interstellar Empire. Some survivors, like Prince Harlin and Dr. Earl, fled to Earth, while the other survivors were scattered across the planets.

[[quoteright:360:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heliosempire.png]]
* CloneArmy: [[spoiler: Each member of the Royal Family has a clone of their own - for Harlin, it's Kloppen, for Palmion, it's Dolmen. However, due to the fact that the clones were treated badly, Dolmen rebelled and created his own empire.]]
* CrapsaccharineWorld: [[spoiler: Unbeknownst to the masses, underneath the exterior of glamour and nobility of the Helios Empire exists a dark secret - the sacrifices of clones. At some unknown point in history, the Empire began manufacturing clones every time a member of the Royal Family was born. This was done to keep the bloodline intact, as well as to ensure that the Royal Family always had a heir. From cradle to grave, the clones were forced to surveil their prototype's life from their prisons. If the prototype was injured, the clone would be forced to receive the exact injury. If the prototype died, the clone was sent in their place. When the clone outlived their usefulness, they would be eliminated to make way for the new successor. No matter what they did, the clones were simply puppets of their senior vassals. Although these facts were a secret only to the royal family, the oppression of clones was a common practice in Elios.]]
* CreateYourOwnVillain: [[spoiler: The clones bringing Helios's downfall was likely inevitable, as the empire frequently tortured them, harvested their organs, and treated them like second-class citizens. Given how they were produced en masse As Dolmen even lampshades that even if Daltanious kills him, as long as clones exist, their wrath and generational trauma will always exist. Harlin, to avert this, passes laws forbidding the discrimination of clones when he becomes crowned King.]]
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[spoiler: The way the Helios Empire treats clones is similar to how Nazi officers and members of the SS treated Jewish people in concentration camps, from isolating them to prison cells, forcing them to endure extreme torture and killing them off once they outlive their usefulness.]]
* TheEmpire: Formerly. [[spoiler: The Zaal Empire tore them down as revenge for centuries of oppression.]]
* FantasticRacism: Enforced. [[spoiler: The Helios Empire created the clones for the purpose of serving the Royal Family's interests, which meant also subjecting them to cruel torture to keep them in check. Hatred of clones was rampant across many different planets, to the point that when Harlin/Hayato was suspected of being one by the Kingdom of Proxia, he was abandoned and offered to Zaal.]]

* HumanAliens: The people of planet Helios resemble humans, while their Zaal counterparts are more monstrous-looking.

* SuccessionCrisis: [[spoiler: The Helios Empire feared that one day, they would lose their heirs to outside influence. To avert this, they began producing clones of the Royal Family every time a member was born and trained them to follow in their footsteps.]]
* ThemeNaming: The Royals tend to have names that end with "-en".

* CoolOldGuy: While Kento disrespects Earl, Manabu idolizes him because of his immense knowledge and becomes his assistant. Sanae also views him as such.
* GoneHorriblyWrong: Downplayed. [[spoiler: When him and Harlin departed from Helios to Earth, he set up his cryo-sleep device to awaken them both in 50 years. Somehow, this malfunctioned, and Harlin awoke much earlier than he should have. He was found by a kind Japanese couple who raised him as their own, and gave him the name "Hayato". Believing himself to be of Japanese heritage like his parents, he forgot his memories of being born as the Prince of Helios. He only found out the truth when as an adult, his ship was wrecked, he was saved by a fellow Heliosian who told him of his true heritage.]]
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Earl states many times that he doesn't care about the fate of the Earth and Helios takes priority. Over time he grows a heart and learns to have compassion for both nations.
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: [[spoiler: Downplayed, but Earl still wanted the Helios Empire to rise from the ashes and exist once more, unlike Harlin who was shocked at the brutality of the Helios Empire and decided to let it stay finished for good.]]
* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite initially critisizing Kento for searching for the TeamPet, when they eventually do locate him, he jumps with joy.
* OlderAndWiser: Earl is the eldest of the main cast ([[spoiler: in fact, he's over a century old]]) and the one who invented Daltanious. This is contrasted by the young Manabu, who's a pre-teen genius and creates upgrades to the robot.
* ResentfulGuardian: Downplayed, but he's fed up with Kento's bratty behaviour and frequently criticizes him for not being like his father.
* SurroundedByIdiots: A rare heroic example with Dr. Earl's frustration with the hijinks of Kento and his gang.
* ThisCannotBe: [[spoiler: When Namil claims that Harlin was a clone of Kloppen, Earl refuses to believe it and exasperatedly grabs his head.]]
* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler: Earl is aghast when he sees that his old friend Dr. Namil (who was once loyal to Emperor Palmion) is now working with the Zaal Empire and a confidant of Kloppen. Earl repeatedly refuses to believe his claims of Kloppen being the true Prince of Helios. He actually is right, but he didn't know it then.]]

* AlienAmongUs: [[spoiler: When Earl and Harlin fled Helios to Earth, Earl programmed his cryo-sleep device to awaken both of them in 1995, so that they could fight the Zaal invasion in time. Unfortunately, a malfunction happened and Harlin instead awoke in 1945. Luckily, a kind couple, the Tate family, adopted him after he was found wandering the streets. Due to his young age, he forgot his DarkAndTroubledPast, and believed he was a Japanese boy named Hayato Tate until Melipole informed of the truth.]]

Unbeknownst to Kazuto, the boy was no ordinary human - he was Crown Prince Harlin of the Helios Empire.]]
* {{Hallucinations}}: [[spoiler: As a child, Hayato would often receive vivid visions of another world, but didn't know where they were from. These were actually his memories of his true home, the Helios Empire. He became a sailor so that one day, he could find the mysterious place that frequently appeared in his mind.]]
* LukeIAmYourFather:
** [[spoiler: Harlin, the long-lost Prince of Helios, is Kento's father. However, he didn't know this until after he was an adult.]]
** [[spoiler: Since Kloppen is his clone, that means he was made from Harlin's DNA. Depending on how you read this, he's either his brother or his son. This was somewhat hinted at due to their similar appearances, but confirmed for good in episode 41/42.]]
* MadeASlave: [[spoiler: He was temporarily made a slave on the Planet Marios, but he took the opportunity to make friends and escape together.]]
* NiceGuy: [[spoiler: He is a benevolent person, even in the darkest of situations. His kindness attracts many to befriend him. He's even kind to Kloppen, telling him that he doesn't view him as an enemy even though he's a clone.]]

* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: [[spoiler: When Kento was four years old, Hayato went missing during a shipwrecking accident, leading the Tate family to presume he drowned. Afterwards, Kento's grandfather Kazuto became the prime paternal presence in his life and helped his mother raise him and his sister. Hayato was actually saved by a fellow Helosian, Melipole, but forcibly enslaved later on. In Episode 31, the cruiser he captured was sunk by the Zaal, but he also survived that and came back seven episodes later.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: Despite his youthful appearance, he's 53.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler: When Kento tells him his mother and sister died, Harlin's usually happy and upbeat demeanor takes a serious turn as he stares at the supermarket they used to live in and manage. Harlin stares at it sadly and whispers words of apologies to Kimiyo and his daughter.]]
* RightfulKingReturns: [[spoiler: Eventually. However, there's a bit of a twist - after learning the truth of the Helios Empire, he opts not to bring it back, and instead renounced his right to the imperial throne and decided to establish the Galactic Federal Republic]].
* RoyalBlood: [[spoiler: Being descended from Palmillion, he is the Helios Empire's Crown Prince.]]

* SoleSurvivor: The rest of his crewmates died, but the Adalus base rescued him and tended to his injuries. Unfortunately, Ramus still couldn't make it and died. Before he bit the dust, he told Kento not to hate his father, and that for the past 12 years, the Tate family were all he could think of.

[[caption-width-right:770:[[labelnote:Second outfit]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/catine2.jpg[[/labelnote]]]]

* AbhorrentAdmirer: She ''really, really'' wants the Heliosian throne and will do whatever it takes to get it. She travels all the way from Proxia to Earth so that she can woo the descendant of Palmillion, the last Emperor of Helios. Unfortunately, she's oblivious to how her pushyness is rather [[IncrediblyLamePun alienating]] to him.
* AlienPrincess: Of the Kingdom of Proxia. However, she's of the RichBitch variety and looks down on humans and clones.
* AlphaBitch: She's nothing but a haughty bully to Sanae and enjoys picking on her insecurities. While Sanae is aggravated by her, she refuses to talk back and holds her anger within.
* ArchEnemy: She thinks Sanae is the reason why Kento doesn't return her affections, rather than the fact that she's just not that appealing as a person. As a result, she's frequently rude to Sanae and insults her by calling her a "servant girl".
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She originally presented herself as an ally to the Adalus Base, but actually only cared about marrying Kento so that she could become the Queen of Helios.
* CoolCrown: Hers is exquisitely designed. It has three prongs at the center, two prongs near the ends, and two leaves at the side, all made of gold.
* TheDitz: She's not very bright and tends to get angry over small things. Even Judela admits it.
* DubNameChange: In the Italian dub, she was known as '''Principessa Florinda'''.
* DudeMagnet: In spite of her horrible personality, both Kento and Hata remark that she's a beautiful lady. Though, the former is surprised when, moments after meeting him, she gets on her knees and says that she wants to be by his side forever.
* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: Once Catine's bigotry towards clones is revealed to Kento, he's enraged, and his anger worsens when he finds out that Catine and Judela worked with the Zaal to have him killed. While he rages at Catine, he's stopped when he recalls Gascon telling him not to hold on to things because the universe is vast and infinite. Thus, he decides to spare the Proxian Princess and her lady-in-waiting from his wrath.]]
* {{Expy}}: Remember that ''Anime/ToshoDaimos'' episode where Kyoshiro is confronted by a rich noblewoman from his past, who falls in love with him after he taught her French? Now, imagine if that [[TheDitz ditzy woman]] was an AlienPrincess...
* GoldDigger: Once she found out that the descendant of Emperor Palmillion, Kento Tate, was residing on Earth, she instantly flew there with her wet nurse and sought out his hand in marriage because she wanted to become the Empress of Helios.
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Both of her outfits are mostly purple, and her hat is a pretty lavender colour.
* GreenEyedMonster: She tries hard to win over Kento's heart, such as trying to feed him with a spoon during the banquet. When she senses Kento disliked it, she throws a tantrum afterwards, howling as she blames Sanae for "stealing his heart".
* TheLoad: Catine is a stupid, self-obsessed gold digger who wants Kento's attention more than anything and even pilots a Mecha during one of his battles (despite not having any experience with it) so that he would look at her.
* RichBitch: Catine looks down on Kento's friends for not being of RoyalBlood. When she hosts a banquet, she says that only Kento is invited. He has to convince her to let his friends attend, and she reluctantly does.
* RoyalBlood: She is the daughter of the King of Proxia.
* ShipperOnDeck: While Catine hopes to wed Kento, she proposes the idea of Judela getting together with Earl because of their old ages. Judela initially laughs at the thought, but during their banquet, she spoon-feeds Earl, who's overcome by a CrushBlush. Judela also stares at him lovingly, and later, she laughs when Catine brings it up.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Her horrible attitude and refusal to take no for an answer earns her the ire of Kento's friends. When she finally leaves, Ochame yells at her to never come back ever again.

[[folder:Judela]]
!!'''Judela (ジュデラ)'''
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Reiko Suzuki

* CardiovascularLove: Her interaction with Earl at the banquet ends with her winking at him, causing a bunch of hearts to pop up as she does.
* CoyGirlishFlirtPose: She often makes this at Earl. While she laughed when Catine initially suggested they hook up, she actually grew to really like him.
* DeadpanSnarker: Episode 34. Judela finally gets sick of Catine's tantrums and claps back when she blames her.
-->'''Judela''' ''"If you courted him harder, he would have wanted to be with you"''
* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: Judela and Catine are bigoted towards clones, and when they're told Kento is one, they're disgusted. They team up with the Zaal to have him killed, but are caught in the act. While Kento's angry and shouts at them, he remembers Gascon's words, and decides to let it go. He bids them farewell, and him and Danji laugh about the situation.]]
* {{Expy}}: It's no secret that ''Daltanious'' borrows a lot from ''Anime/ToshoDaimos'', and Judela is a clear {{Expy}} of [[https://hero.fandom.com/wiki/Margarete_(T%C5%8Dsh%C5%8D_Daimos) Margarete]]. She's the AlienPrincess' closest confidant who helps her pursue a romance with a Japanese boy who pilots a SuperRobot. Even their clothes are the same!
* OpportunisticBastard: Downplayed, but she won't let a single moment go to waste if she can use it to further Catine's position in Kento's eyes. When they attended a funeral in episode 31, she told Catine to go comfort Kento and win his favour, instead of grieving for the fallen.
* PinkIsFeminine: Her gown is bright pink, as a homage to the character's she's an {{Expy}} of.
* RichBitch: [[spoiler: She calls Kento "worthless" when she believes he's a clone, since that means he's not of RoyalBlood.]]
* ShipperOnDeck: Judela aims to help Catine become the Empress of Helios. She prepares her for meeting Kento and gives her advice on how to woo him.
* ShipperWithAnAgenda: If Catine marries Kento, she'll be able to rule Helios as well as Proxia, which is why Judela supports her courting him.
* ShipTease: She gets some with Earl, who blushes after she feeds him. [[spoiler: This is sunk after Kloppen informs them that Kento is a clone, leading Judela to disparage the boy and leave the Adalus base with Catine.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler: Judela beleives clones are an abomination and has no problem with having Kento killed because she thinks he's one.]]

!!Zaal Empire (ザール星間帝国)
Originally a planet that had a friendly relationship with the Helios Empire, it was renamed to the Zaal Interstellar Empire by Emperor Dolmen the Great. Dolmen destroyed the Elios Empire and embarked on domination of the entire universe.

From their front-line base created on the far side of the moon, the Zaal Empire aims to capture the Adalus base and Daltanias, with Kloppen as its commander-in-chief.
[[folder:In general]]
[[quoteright:659:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zaalflag.jpg]]
* AliensAreBastards: [[spoiler: Both The Helios and Zaal Empire qualify. It was Helios that began the maltreatment of clones, but it was Zaal that perpetuated it and utilized one such clone (Kloppen) into taking over the world.]]
* AirborneAircraftCarrier: They have a diverse array of airships that primarily engage in BeamSpam on the planets they invade.
* AlienInvasion: By the start of ''Daltanious'', they've already conquered Earth and destroyed the framework of its nations - now humans try to survive in their makeshift villages in lands full of no law and order. A common practice for them is to completely demolish a nation, place surveillance robots to put down any opposition and kill anyone suspected of being a clone.
* TheEmpire: After destroying The Helios Empire, the Zaal Empire took its place and started assimilating other planets into its fold.
* GalacticConquerer: [[spoiler: Coming from Dolmen's desire to never be oppressed again]], the Zaal Empire aims to subjugate every planet in the universe.
* HumanAliens: Played with. [[spoiler: Kloppen and Dolmen are indeed humanoid, but they're clones of other aliens. Most Zaals are PlantAliens, StarfishAliens or Animal-like aliens.]]
* LackOfEmpathy: All of them are cruel and have supremacist beliefs, and also treat one another badly for not being "strong" enough or other similar reasons. Neshia is hated by Prozarus and Boider for being a [[PlantAliens Plant Alien]], and Kloppen turns his own pet into a {{Robeast}} because he's embarassed about being a failure in Dolmen's eyes.
* MultinationalTeam: They're recruited from all over the galaxy, though they're not above FantasticRacism to one another.
* PragmaticVillainy: As the Zaal Empire is a fairly new nation that lacks a proper populace, it opens opportunities to people from all planets, which leads to it's denizens being a diverse MultinationalTeam. [[spoiler: Even clones are allowed in their ranks!]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it the '''Zaal, Zaar, Zar, Zahl, Saar,''' or '''Saal''' Empire?
* TakeOverTheWorld: With the destruction of Helios complete, the Zaal Empire is confident that it's only a matter of time until the rest of the world falls to their clutches.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: The Zaal Empire used to be on friendly terms with Helios. However, once Dolmen hijacked the throne, the Zaal Empire wiped out the Helios Empire, and began conquering planets all over the galaxy to expand it's reigns.
* WouldHurtAChild: Their [[{{Robeast}} Robeasts]] don't discriminate between age groups and have threatened Ochame, Jiro and Manabu on multiple occassions. Even in the first episode, their surveillance robot attempted to mow down the [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits main children]] through [[BeamSpam vicious lasers]].

[[caption-width-right:770:[[labelnote:As a child, masked]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maskedkloppenyoung.jpg[[/labelnote]]]]

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: [[spoiler: Harlin is reviled amongst the Zaal for his [[LackOfEmpathy domineering cruelty]], with most showing him obedience out fear, rather than respect. Even Dolmen truly never loved him and viewed him as a pawn at best. It is only after allying himself with the Adalus Base that he experiences a brief amount of genuine friendship...before he chooses to sacrifice himself for Harlin's sake.]]
* AbusiveParents: His relationship with Dolmen. Dolmen speaks to him in a way that encourages his most violent aspects, while threatening him with consequences if he disregards them. Whenever Kloppen loses to Daltanious, Dolmen subjects him to a tirade of insults. [[spoiler: He also deliberately hid the fact that he was a clone from him.]]
* AgentPeacock: He has thick hair, long eyelashes and wears his hair in curls. He's also a ruthless murderer with a DarkAndTroubledPast.
* AnimalMotifs: His hair and armour resemble a lion's mane.
* ArchEnemy:
** Kloppen deems Kento one, because Daltanious became a symbol of freedom amongst the other planets invaded by the Zaal. The fact that Daltanious is from Earth, a nation the Zaal supposedly ravaged, also makes him feel insecure.
** He also considers Prince Harlin one because he thinks that Harlin is his clone, and clones don't deserve to live. [[spoiler: It's actually the other way around.]]
* AwfulTruth: [[spoiler: Kloppen is Prince Harlin's clone. When he was a child, Dr. Namil brought him to Dolmen so that he could groom the boy into being his successor. Because he wanted the Emperor to accept him into his services, Namil helped Dolmen groom him and reinforced the lie that he was the actual Prince by telling him the Imperial Cross on his arm was proof of his heritage. He raised the boy into following Dolmen's footsteps and being a warrior for the Zaal Empire. After he had grown into an adult, Namil had a change of heart and exposed the truth to everyone. In his pre-recorded video, he admitted there was a way to differentiate clones from their prototypes - clones, when exposed to UV radiation, will experience detoriation in their skins. Kloppen is hit with a UV ray and his skin detoriates - and then he realizes that his entire life has been a lie.]]
* BadBoss: He abuses his subordinates for petty reasons such as "showing weakness" and being unable to bring down Daltanious.
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: After using Nova as a means to maul those he disliked, [[spoiler: Kloppen eventually has the poor animal tortured and turned into a Super Robot that he sends after Daltanious. Daltanious rips Nova to shreds in the battle.]]
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Kloppen has devastated nearly every planet in the galaxy with his military leadership, and when Kento screams at him for murdering his family and loved ones, Kloppen can only laugh.
* CoolMask: There's actually a very sad reason for it. [[spoiler: Dolmen wanted to hide that Kloppen was a clone. He only allowed Kloppen to remove it after he was certain Prince Harlin was dead.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: Groomed from a young age by Dolmen to be a pawn for the Zaal Empire, Kloppen in actuality is a clone, something the Zaal Empire looks down upon. Kloppen had a mental breakdown when he found out the teuth, as he had been raised to hate clones.]]
* DeflectorShields: Uses them against Kento when he tries to shoot at him.
* DemotedToDragon: [[spoiler: Once it's found out he's a clone, he's booted from his position and Neshia is promoted to General in his place. Kloppen is humiliated and turned into a hostage so that the Zaal could fall into the Adalus base's good graces. However, Kento refuses to take him, saying that those who sell out their own allies are cowards unworthy of joining his side. Touched by Kento's mercy, Kloppen apostates from the Zaal and switches sides to the humans.]]
* TheDragon: To Dolmen. Valuing his brutality in warfare, Kloppen was assigned to lead the AlienInvasion of many planets and [[spoiler: subjugate the political dissidents of the Zaal Empire.]] However, Dolmen isn't impressed with Kloppen's failures and constantly threatens to have him executed if he doesn't put down the robot causing the Zaal Empire unnecessary grief. [[spoiler: Kloppen is eventually demoted for good and abandoned by Dolmen after the truth of his creation comes out.]]
* DirtyCoward: A hilarious example when he chases Prince Harlin off a cliff and tries to execute him, causing Harlin to fall. Once Daltanious emerges from the sea and carries him to safety, Kloppen has an OhCrap moment and tries to run away.
* DramaticIrony: [[spoiler: Kloppen falsely accuses Kento of being a clone, marking him with shame amongst the alienfolk. Come episode 42, it's revealed that ''Kloppen'' was the clone - of Kento's father, Hayato.]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: [[spoiler: Sics Nova, his panther, on one of his own men because he expressed fear at Daltanious, stating that he did not want weaklings on his team.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: When Dolmen tasks him to kill his adoptive father, Dr. Namil, Dolmen stares in blank silence and hesitates to press the button.
* EvilCounterpart: [[spoiler: No prizes for guessing who's.]]
* ExactEavesdropping: [[spoiler: After he's knocked out in battle, he awakens in the Adalus base and hears Kento begging Earl to do whatever he can to keep him and his father alive. Kento acknowledges that while Kloppen did bad things in the past, he's trying to turn over a new leaf and is deserving of mercy. Kloppen is shocked that Kento is still willing to forgive him after everything, and feels a newfound bond with the boy.]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Kento:''' ''"Please, Old Man! Do whatever you can to save my father and Kloppen! I know Kloppen was once our enemy...I know he killed my father and Ochame's...he killed so many, but he's trying to repent for everything! He risked his own life many times in order to save us!" *wipes tears from his eyes* "Like when he saved Adalus! Save my father and Kloppen! I beg of you!"'']]
* [[FallenPrincess Fallen Prince]]: [[spoiler: Well, more like Fallen General, but once it's found out he's a clone, his own generals betray him and try to defect to the Adalus base, offering Kloppen as a hostage. Kento is having none of that.]]

[[quoteright:695:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/drnamil.jpg]]
* CrazyPrepared: [[spoiler: Dolmen orders Kloppen to blast his spaceship so the AwfulTruth won't get out, so Kloppen does just that - and then it's revealed Namil has a pre-recorded message for Kloppen, which he had a capsule sent from his ship broadcast. Namil's message reveals the truth about Kloppen's birth and states that Dolmen hid his clone heritage from him.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Koichi Chiba (episode 11), Junji Chinba (episode 32)
The adoptive father of Hayato. He raised Kento and his sister after he went missing.

* CreateYourOwnVillain: [[spoiler: The clones bringing Helios's downfall was likely inevitable, as the empire frequently maltreated them, abused them, and treated them like second-class citizens. Given how they were produced en masse As Dolmen even lampshades that even if Daltanious kills him, as long as clones exist, their wrath and generational trauma will always exist. Harlin, to avert this, passes laws forbidding the discrimination of clones when he becomes crowned King.]]

* ThemeNaming: They tend to have names that end with "-en".

* AwfulTruth: [[spoiler: Kloppen is Prince Harlin's clone. When he was a child, Dr. Namil brought him to Dolmen so that he could groom the boy into being his successor. Because he wanted the Emperor to accept him into his services, Namil helped Dolmen groom him and reinforced the lie that he was the actual Prince by telling him the Imperial Cross on his arm was proof of his heritage. He raised the boy into following Dolmen's footsteps and being a warrior for the Zaal Empire. After he had grown into an adult, Namil had a change of heart about and exposed the truth to everyone. In his pre-recorded video, he admitted there was a way to differentiate clones from their prototypes - clones, when exposed to UV radiation, will experience detoriation in their skins. Kloppen is hit with a UV ray and his skin detoriates - and then he realizes that his entire life has been a lie.]]

* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: Groomed from a young age by Dolmen to be a pawn for the Zaal Empire, Kloppen in actuality is a clone, something the Zaal Empire looks down upon. Dolmen deliberately hid this from Kloppen, who had a mental breakdown when he found out.]]

* {{Jerkass}}: He is extremely cruel to his underlings and punishes them for any sign of weakness. [[spoiler: It's no surprise they all turned on him once they got the chance. In general, Kloppen is an arrogant, haughty and despicable General who views everyone that isn't Dolmen as inferior to him.]]

* {{Expy}}: Of [[Anime/VoltesV Emperor Zambajil]]. They're both genocidal, warring [[PlanetBaron Planet Barons]] who exploit and abuse [[TheDragon their dragons]] with long blonde hair tied into curls around their heads. The main difference is that Dolmen has a shocking DarkAndTroubledPast that changes the tide of the whole story, and that Dolmen is willing to fight until his dying breath in contrast with Zambajil who immediately load the cart with riches and tries to flee.

[[quoteright:706:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grandemperor.jpg]]

* GoodIsDumb: And ''how''. They're ignorant of obvious traps, don't bother to cover their tracks after committing crimes and rebuff Earl's well-meaning good advice. The biggest example would be when they received a letter from someone asking to adopt Ochame. ''No one'' in the group thought it was a bad idea to allow a complete stranger to adopt a six-year-old girl and willingly allowed it after meeting said adoptive parent once. [[spoiler: The lady who kidnapped her happened to be a Zaal General in disguise, who holds Ochame hostage. Luckily, they manage to save her.]]

* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The heroes are a bunch of quirky kids who lost their parents in the Zaal invasion, with Kento being the TeamDad.

* {{Expy}}: Take [[Anime/VoltesV Kenichi]], drop his IQ by 400 points, and amp up the {{Jerkass}} and BigEater attributes. That's Kento.[[note]]They even have the same character designer, Yuki Hijiri[[/note]]

* GoneHorriblyWrong: Downplayed. [[spoiler: When him and Harlin departed from Helios, he set up his cryo-sleep device to awaken them both in 50 years. Somehow, this malfunctioned, and Hayato awoke much earlier than he should have. He was found by a kind Earthern couple who raised him as their own. Believing himself to be a Japanese boy named "Hayato", he forgot his memories of being born as the Prince of Helios. He only found out the truth when as an adult, his ship was wrecked, he was saved by a fellow Helion who told him of his true heritage.]]

* ArchEnemy: She thinks Sanae is the reason why Kento doesn't return her affections, rather than the fact that she's just not that appealing as a person. As a result, she's frequemtly rude to Sanae and insults her by calling her a "servant girl".

* GreenEyedMonster: She tries hard to win over Kento's heart, such as feeding him with a spoon during their banquet. When she senses Kento disliked it, she throws a tantrum afterwards in front of Judela, howling as she blames Sanae for "stealing his heart".

* RichBitch: Catine looks down on Kento's friends for being poor/not of Royal Blood. When she hosts a banquet, she says that only Kento is invited. He has to convince her to let his friends attend, and she reluctantly does.

* CardiovascularLove: Her interaction with Earl at the banquet ends with her winking at him.

* ArchEnemy: Kloppen deems Kento one, because Daltanious became a symbol of freedom amongst the other planets invaded by the Zaal. The fact that Daltanious is from Earth, a nation the Zaal supposedly ravaged, also makes him feel insecure.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: After his own side betrays him, and Kento welcomes him with open arms, Kloppen realizes that Dolmen was the true villain all along. He willingly gives up his organs to a severely injured Harlin, even though Kento refuses and tries to stop him. Kloppen, despite being injured, forces himself towards Harlin and sings his praises as his last words.]]
