Noboru Kodo
Dragon World (Season 1)/Dungeon World (Hundred onward)

Season 3 Onwards
Gao's classmate and one of his first friends. Noboru was ranked the second-best Buddyfighter in the 6th grade before the series began, in the last ABC Cup. He was dismissive of Gao's skills at first, claiming that most of his wins were through pure luck. Also, that's a tiger on his shirt, not a kitten.
Noboru plays with a Dragon World deck, specifically using Dragon Knights. His Buddy is El Quixote, his Core Deck Case is a lance, and his Buddy Skill is chest armor. After being Brainwashed by Gratos, he switches to a Dungeon World deck based on the Knight attribute, and continues to use it after being freed. In X2, for the GGG Cup, he uses an Omni Lord Knights Deck

- I Coulda Been a Contender!: Not through retiring, per se. He was bribed to into taking a dive during the last ABC Cup. This becomes his main motivation for the next ABC Cup.

- Bully Hunter: Gaito was mistaken for a Buddyfighter who was taking cards from other kids but the truth was he was taking back cards from kids who were taking them from younger kids.

- Odd Couple: He and Tasuku become a platonic version in some episodes of Triple D.

- Extra Turn: Abygale's Overturn allows him to end the turn at the beginning of the opponent's turn. In exchange, the player cannot attack on the turn after. While it's technically not a turn skip, it goes from the start of the turn to the end of the turn, allowing Death Count, Requiem to activate and possible win the game.
- Eyepatch of Power: Which he receaived when he was beaten by Azi Dahaka who concluded that he was too weak to be part of his army.

- Our Dragons Are Different: In his full form, he lacks a body or connecting limbs.

Quintessence Crystal Dragon, Athora/Heavenly Crystal Dragon, Aldo Athora
Voiced by: Takahiro Mizushima (JP), Rylan Strachan (EN)
Mini Form
Kanata Ozora's Buddy, a Prism Dragon monster from Star Dragon World.
- Cloud Cuckoolanders Minder: Is usually the one who has to elaborate on things for Kanata.
- Dragons Are Divine: Invoked with his overturn form, which gives him angelic gold wings.
- Draw Aggro: His Overturn draws incoming attacks while invincible for a turn.
- Everything's Better with Rainbows: His entire body is on a pastel rainbow gradient. His Overturn form, Aldo Athora, adds a lot more deeply saturated colors to his palette without entirely dropping the pastels.
- Feathered Dragons: Invoked. He has a feather-like pattern on his wings. Played straight by his Overturn form, which has actual feathers with lots of colorful gems mixed in.
- Gem Tissue: Covered in crystals, but not entirely made of them. Instead, they form a kind of natural plating covering his chest, neck, tail, and feet. He's also got a single rainbow-colored crystal for a horn.
- No-Sell: Refuses to allow anyone to damage Kanata. Goes even further with his Overturn, which draws incoming attacks while invincible for a turn and even deals damage to the opponent in return.
The Hanako in the Toilet
Voiced by: Thea Killen-Smith (EN)
A human-like Legend World monster that haunts Aibo Academy's bathrooms. She pulls pranks on students and staff alike and is based on Hanako-san of Japanese urban legends. When Buddyfighting, she uses a legend world deck based around toilets and urban legends.
- Filler Villain: She only appears in filler episodes.
- Glowing Eyes of Doom: She can make her eyes glow at will.
- Harmless Villain: Her pranks are rarely ever dangerous in the slightest, being intended only to frighten.
- It Amused Me: The main reason she does anything.
- Our Fairies Are Different: Has the Fairy attribute despite being based on a ghost.
- Toilet Humor: Very little for a ghost that haunts bathrooms, though she does hang out with a living roll of toilet paper. This is justified due to the urban legend she's based on being about a ghost that appears when her name is called rather than anything particularly vulgar.
