Ikki's profile art for Medarot Damashii

The main protagonist. Ikki is a relatively normal 10-year-old obsessed with Medabots who dreams of owning his own. Under pressure from some thugs, he spends all of his savings on an outdated KBT-Type named Metabee.

All of the Other Reindeer: At first he was made fun of because he didn't have a Medabot, then it was because his Medabot is an older model. Once he starts winning his way to the top, this stops cold.
Book Dumb: He knows a ton about Medabots, to the point where he's almost on Dr. Aki's level. But he's not very good in school.
Contrasting Sequel Protagonist: In the game continuity, he's this to Hikaru/Henry. Hikaru in Medarot: Kabuto and Kuwagata is terse, snarky and initially has no interest in Medabots, only going along with his father's gift of one because he thinks it will help him score with his ladyfriend. Ikki meanwhile is animated, slightly naive and loves Medabots.
Deadpan Snarker: Often reacts to the other characters' shenanigans with sarcastic remarks.
Dragged into Drag: In the GBA game, Ikki is forced to wear female clothing at least three times, much to his chagrin. You can change him into said articles of female clothing at will after beating the game.
Dude, Where's My Respect?: Even his own Medabot doesn't respect him, at least at first. Even when this starts to change, his friends still don't give him a break.
Has a Type: He seems to have something for Dr. Aki's relatives, judging from the anime.
Iconic Sequel Character: Ikki's actually the protagonist of Medarot 2, with the first game's protagonist, Hikaru, being a mentor to Ikki. This carries into the anime, which is the way most Medabots fans discovered the series.
Instant Expert: Because of his encyclopedic knowledge of Medabots and sharp strategic mind, he's able to become the third best Medafighter in Japan after less than a year with Metabee.
Intergenerational Friendship: With Hikaru/Henry (at least a decade older than him), whom he ends up seeing as a Big Brother Mentor.
Kid Hero: Ikki is ten years old. Metabee comes equipped with a revolver, sub-machinegun, and seeker missiles.
The Leader: During the Tournament Arc, he's the de facto leader of Team Japan, largely because Space Medafighter X is rarely around, and because he's the one coming up with all of the strategies.
Nerd Action Hero: Being a nerd in this universe is made significantly more badass by My Little Panzer, but Ikki also pulls off some physical feats that would make Rambo jealous.
Pottery Barn Poor: A point is made that Ikki is the only kid in town without the money to buy or maintain a Medabot, yet, judging from his home and neighborhood, he's actually doing pretty well. The problem seems to be more that his parents don't use any of their disposable income on him.
Precocious Crush: He develops one of these on Nae in Spirits/Damashii.
Red Is Heroic: A Kid Hero with a primarily red outift, in what seems to be an intentional invoking of this trope.
Ship Tease: With Arika, in some episodes. In the GBA game it's possible to have a Relationship Upgrade with her (or with Karin) depending on the player's decisions.
The Strategist: He is an excellent example of pulling well-built strategies as he often takes advantage of the terrain.
Vitriolic Best Buds:
- With Metabee, since they treat each other as siblings, instead of master and "pet".
- Also with Arika, mostly because they are best friends.
To Be a Master: He started off just wanting to have a Medabot at all. Once he gets one, he wants to be the best robattler in the country.
Took a Level in Badass: Within a year of becoming a Medafighter, he became Japan's #3. In the games, this is taken even further, as he eventually becomes the second Phantom Renegade.
Trademark Favorite Food: He takes his passion about takoyaki, as something very serious.

Metabee

Voiced by: Junko Takeuchi (JP), Joseph Motiki (EN), Luis Miguel Pérez (LA), Francisco Javier García Sáenz (SP)

Ikki's stubborn and willful Medabot. Thanks to an unique medal, he has a fiercely independent personality and is much stronger than his outdated design would suggest. He and Ikki constantly butt heads, but he really does care for his Medafighter deep down.

Angrish: In the English dub at least, his speech is generally accompanied by the "Ki!Ki!Ki!" noise he makes when excited or under stress.
Berserk Button: Do NOT call him defective or a piece of junk.
Break Out the Museum Piece: Played fairly straight. Metabee is an old, outdated KBT-type Medabot, who Ikki only purchased out of desperation. However, between his rare medal and Ikki's skill as a Medafighter, its not really an issue.
Finishing Move: Metabee's Reaction Missiles, replaced halfway through the series by the Medaforce when they become So Last Season.
Guest Fighter: Appears in Digimon ReArise as a usable “Digimon” as part of a collaboration event. He gets a Fusion Dance with Rokusho as a Warp Digivolution.
Hair-Trigger Temper: You bet your britches. It all starts when Ikki makes the mistake of calling him a stupid piece of junk, and the rest is history.
Head Blast: Metabee has a pair of missile launchers modeled after a beetle's horn on his head.
Heroic Sacrifice: Pulls one to destroy Babbyblu, though he gets revived by aliens not long after.
Jive Turkey: He peppers his speech with early 90s hip-hop slang, as part of his angry black man persona. And it's hilarious.
One-Liner: At least in the dub, he is the one who does them the most.
"Kiss your bot goodbye!"
- This one also serves as a Badass Boast when summoning the Medaforce:
  "Dude, I rock."
Simple, yet Awesome: Metabee is an old, malfunctioning, outdated model armed with very simplistic weaponry (machine guns and rockets) going up against machines that can do all sorts of things from manipulating gravity to firing giant lasers, but can still kick ass like nobody's business. Admittedly, part of it is probably due to having a unique medal.
Wave-Motion Gun: When he uses the Medaforce.

Arika Amazake

Arika's profile art for Medarot Damashii

Ikki's tomboyish best friend. She's a highly skilled investigative reporter... in her own mind, at least.

Alliterative Name: As long as you spell her name with an "a"
Boyish Short Hair: It's much shorter than the girlier Karin's. In fact, it's comparable to Koji's.
Broken Pedestal: She becomes disillusioned by the tabloid reporter Seamus MacRaker after realizing he's willing to lie to make a story.
Clingy Jealous Girl: She hates Ikki falling for other girls.
Dub Name Change: From Arika to Erika in the English translations. Averted in Latin America, when her name remains.
Green-Eyed Monster: She's jealous of Karin due to her popularity and Ikki's crush on her. To a lesser extent, of Nae as well.
Intrepid Reporter: Arika is one of the reporters of her school's newspaper, and is always in search of a scoop. She's almost always carrying around some kind of camera and she won't drop a story despite the danger. In fact, a majority of the arcs in 2 Core start with her searching for a scoop and Ikki tagging along.
Kiddy Coveralls:Her Iconic Outfit being pink overalls
School Newspaper Newshound: She is the only member of the school's Newspaper club.
Ship Tease: With Ikki and also later on with Team Iceland's leader Belmont.
Tsundere: A tomboyish dere, as she is sweet and kind, but she is also violent.
What Beautiful Eyes!: According to Belmont, they "shine like the Arctic Ocean in summer".

Kouji Karakuchi

Voiced by: Reona Yokomaku (JP), Joanne Vannicola (EN), Gonzalo Fumero (LA), Juan D'Ors (SP)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/koji.jpg

Ikki's main rival. A snobby, highly competitive boy from Hanazono Academy/Rosewood Private School.

The Ace: He's rich, intelligent, and the second best medafighter in the country. Before he met Ikki, he effortlessly won every single one of his robattles.
- Badass Normal: He's the only person in Japan's top three that doesn't have a Medabot with a rare medal.
Adaptational Jerkass: Notably more standoffish and obsessed with proving himself stronger in the anime, whereas in the game he is fairly polite and a normal friend to Ikki instead of just a rival.
Alliterative Name: He gets a bonus, since his last name is alliterative on its own.
Always Second Best: Played with. He feels this way towards Ikki, despite technically being ranked higher, because Ikki was a nobody before he became number three in the country, and his Medabot can use the Medaforce. In a more official sense, he's this to Space Medafighter X: if not for him, Koji would be the best in Japan, and the gap between the two of them is vast. It doesn't help that, unlike himself, Ikki is capable of fighting Space Medafighter X to a standstill.
Berserk Button: He absolutely hates it when he thinks the spirit of competition is being disrespected. He loses his cool with cheaters and Medafighters that don't fight to their fullest.
Chick Magnet: He has a lot of fangirls at his school. He only has eyes for Karin, though.
Childhood Friend Romance: He's very protective of Karin, who he grew up with and on whom he has a massive crush. It's all one-sided on his end, unfortunately for him. In the games, he becomes an Unlucky Childhood Friend if you choose Karin. Kid can't catch a break.
Dub Name Change: A very odd case happens in the Latin American Spanish dub: While his given name remains the same, his surname got changed to "Taraguchi", very likely because "Karaguchi" sounds a lot like "Cara (de) fuchi" (translated as "sorry face", albeit this is normally a slang used in Mexico, and the dub of the anime was done in Venezuela, oddly enough).
Friendly Rivalry: Koji loves to give Ikki a hard time, but makes a point to treat him with respect. The only time he's genuinely hostile to Ikki is when he thinks Ikki isn't taking their rivalry seriously enough.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's arrogant and self-obsessed, but he's not a bad guy. And when he's not being a jerk, he's actually very respectful and sportsmanlike.
Pretty Boy: He is mentioned as being a charming boy. He is also accompanied by Bishie Sparkle sometimes, though this isn't played very seriously.
Sheltered Aristocrat: Koji's lived a charmed life, and it shows in his personality and disposition. He's a bit of a snob, but his sense of superiority is tempered by a noble sense of fair play.
Spirited Competitor: He does like to win, but he's usually cool as long as he's satisfied with the fight. He also never takes Medaparts from opponents he defeats, because he doesn't have to.
The Lancer: He plays this role to Ikki during the Tournament Arc. At first they struggle because their personalities and fighting styles clash so significantly, but their synergy becomes a lot better once Koji settles into letting Ikki take the lead.
The Rival: He and Ikki start off their rivalry because of Karin, but when Koji starts to respect Ikki as an opponent, it becomes all about Robattling.
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Kouji hates bugs with a passion. They freak him out so much that he's capable of going insane and destroy everything in sight.
Worthy Opponent: Ikki wins his respect by being the first person to ever last more than a minute with him in a battle. When he's not ribbing Ikki, he makes a point to let him know that.
Worf Had the Flu: Koji wins his offical robattle against Ikki because Ikki and Metabee were fighting at the time. Naturally, Koji is pissed, because he wanted to beat Ikki in a fair fight. He's much happier with the rematch, even though he loses and it doesn't count for the official rankings.

Hikaru Agata

Hikaru/Henry Agata AKA Kaitou Retort/Phantom Renegade AKA Uchuu Medarotter X/Space-Medafighter X

Voiced by: Ryo Naitou (JP), Jamie Watson (EN), Ezequiel Serrano & Jhonny Torres (LA), Miguel Ángel Godó (SP)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/henry_penfry.png

A convenience store clerk. Also a phantom thief. Also the top Medafighter in Japan. His true identities are a secret from everyone except the viewer.

He's also the former Medabot World Champion, whose Medabot was responsible for the Medabot revolt known as the Ten Days of Darkness. His two alter-egos are both the result of this event, the Phantom Renegade steals Rare Medals so that history won't repeat itself, and Space Medafighter X allows him to robattle without revealing his identity. Like Ikki, he also used a KBT-Type named Metabee.

Anti-Hero: Kaitou Retort/Phantom Renegade. Despite being a thief, he has his own motives to rob medals, and he has done some heroic things in the process, such as rescuing Rokusho from the Roborobo/Rubberrobo Gang, and helping out Ikki and his friends in the Final Battle.
Berserk Button: Do not make fun of Space Medafighter X's techniques and abilities.
Charles Atlas Super Power: Space Medafighter X is not only the best Medafighter in Japan but he can also perform the Shadow Sword himself, takes out God-Emperor/Mega-Emperor's Medal with his own hands and personally helps fight the Big Bad's Mecha-Mooks in the Finale alongside the other Medabots using personalized shuriken.
Cool Mask: Phantom Renegade and by extension, Space Medafighter X (since both identities wear the same mask only in different colors.)
Cut Himself Shaving: In the dub, he used this excuse to justify an injury he got as the Phantom Renegade. It worked despite the injury being on his forehead, likely because most characters believe him to be a moron. One character suggested he start waxing his eyebrows rather than trying to shave them.
Dark Is Not Evil: Don't let his dark attire fool you, Phantom Renegade is actually on the good side. It also helps that his real name, Hikaru, means Light.
Dramatic Unmask: Space Medafighter X loses his mask during the final arc of the first season. Subverted, though, as his Phantom Renegade mask is directly underneath it, and this one stays in place. The drama is also a bit symbolic, given that the masks are very similar to each other.
Dub Name Change: From Hikaru to "Henry" in the English dub (at least initially, see below). Also the names of his other identities have been either altered (Kaitou Retort to "Phantom Renegade") or simply translated/adapted (Uchuu Medarotter X to "Space Medafighter X").
Evil Laugh: The Phantom Renegade has an excellent one, his calling card.
Expressive Mask: Phantom Renegade and, to an unexplained lesser extent, Space Medafighter X.
Hero of Another Story: There are several hints through the series that suggest that Hikaru/Henry was this before the "Ten Days of Darkness" happened. Which makes sense as he was the main protagonist of the first game and serves the same role in subsequent games.
Intergenerational Friendship:
- With Ikki, since he is younger by him by almost a decade. That is because he reminds him of himself in his childhood, and not so long after that, he starts acting as a Big Brother Mentor to him.
- In the games (and possibly the anime had it continued), their close relationship continues to the point that, not only does an older Ikki take over Henry/Hikaru's job, but he also learns his secret and becomes his successor as the second Phantom Renegade!
Kid Hero All Grown-Up: With a very tragic twist.
Large Ham: Phantom Renegade and Space-Medafighter X.
Late-Arrival Spoiler: Yes, Henry/Hikaru is the Phantom Renegade, and yes, he's also Space Medafighter X. It has a massive plot significance, but they don't even try to hide it from the viewers.
Legacy Character: In the games, his alter-ego Phantom Renegade becomes this as Ikki takes over the mantle.
Obfuscating Stupidity: He often uses this when he is performing his Big Brother Mentor role with Ikki and his friends.
One of the Kids: Despite being in his late-teens, he is seen spending most of his time with Ikki and his friends at the Hopmart, and acts a bit like someone of their age. Given his backstory, it's hard to blame him.
Paper-Thin Disguise: Both his Phantom Renegade and Space-Medafighter X masks only cover his face while leaving his recognizable Idiot Hair visible, and even while playing up their respective personas, Hikaru/Henry's real personality slips through on occasion. This is exaggerated to the point of parody with his X disguise though, as the mask X wears is literally just a gold-plated version of his normal Renegade mask, yet no one ever suspects that they might be the same person until X's Dramatic Unmasking.
Phantom Thief: Phantom Renegade. His Japanese name is, technically, Kaitou Retort, "Phantom Thief/Bandit" Retort.
Precursor Heroes: He's effectively this to Ikki.
Punny Name: Phantom Renegade's original name, Kaitou Retort. Kaitou (怪盗) is the Japanese word for a Phantom Thief. On the other hand, Kaitou (回答) is also a Japanese word meaning reply, answer, or retort.
Scarf of Asskicking: Space Medafighter X wears one as part of his outfit, as a Shout-Out to Kamen Rider.
Secret Identity Vocal Shift: Henry/Hikaru does this when he's either The Phantom Renegade or Space Medafighter X. To elaborate, as the Phantom Renegade, Henry uses a rough and gruff sounding voice, while as Space Medafighter X, he uses a more heroic voice.

Karin Junmai

Voiced by: Maaya Sakamoto (JP), Ashley Taylor (EN), Rocío Mallo & Rebeca Aponte (LA), Cristina Yuste (SP)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/karinn.jpg

An extremely kindhearted girl who attends Rosewood Academy with her childhood friend Koji. Koji and Ikki constantly vie for her affection.

Badass on Paper: She's considered a Legendary Metafighter in her home town. Technically, she is undefeated, but only because she's so sweet that no one is willing to go all against her. Plus her legions of fans would stomp anyone who gets too rough with her.
Cloud Cuckoolander: Karin can be apparently completely disconnected from all the shenanigans around her and yet have moments where she's vastly more competent than the sum of her fellows. Also, if you ever need to pull off a heist, she's your girl.
Crazy-Prepared: Karin can be a nice little adorable girl, but she's always ready if you need to climb a wall, cross a bridge taken by a bully or even blow up a security door.
The Ditz: She gives off the impression that she's kind of dull, but she's just a little absent-minded and oblivious to the world around her.
Dude Magnet: It's not only Ikki and Kouji who have a crush on her; all the boys at her school like her because of her kindness and her cuteness. In the original game they even sell pictures of her!
Extreme Doormat: When she first meets Ikki, he thinks she's being bullied by her classmates for being poor. She's actually just extremely good-natured, and her classmates like to take advantage of her.
Girlish Pigtails: Her signature hairstyle, but don't let it fool you.
Mistaken for Servant: When Ikki first saw Karin cleaning at her school and mentioning about going to clean a toilet (the latter being a dub-only thing) and recalling how earlier she tried to pick up a 1 yen coin from the bottom of the lake he assumed she was poor and needed to do menial work to pay for tuition. Turns out, she actually likes doing the chores.
Nice Girl: She is a kind, sweet and polite girl.
The Nicknamer: Subtle, but aside of calling her Medabot "Nurse-chan" on occasion, she also calls Smilodonad "Nad-chan" in one episode and Rintarou "Rin-chan" in another.
Oblivious to Love: Karin is oblivious to both Ikki and Kouji's feelings for her.
The Ojou: Karin is a rich girl who is probably one of the sweetest you will ever know. She's rich and kind enough to have a pedestrian bridge built in the middle of the day on a whim.
Related in the Adaptation: She's Professor Aki's niece in the anime, taking the place of his granddaughter Nae.
Spoiled Sweet: She may be rich, but she is also very nice and humble with other kids and people. One of many reasons her classmates love her. Ikki is initially tricked into thinking she's poor because of how many chores she does out of the kindness of her heart.

Rintarou Namishima

Voiced by: Chieko Higuchi (JP), Jacqueline Pillon (EN), Edilú Martínez (LA), Blanca Rada (SP)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rintarou_6.jpg

A hyperactive kid who idolizes Space Medafighter X. He uses a KBT-Type like Ikki does.

Anime Hair: His Non-Standard Character Design's signature, since he is a Canon Immigrant to the anime.
Canon Immigrant: Rintarou is actually the protagonist of his own manga series, Medarotter Rintarou, which was published around the same time as the anime was on air.
Irritation Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery: Double Subverted. Rintarou causes a lot of trouble when he first shows up, and it all gets blamed on Ikki because they use the same type of Medabot. When Ikki shows up, he assumes that Rintarou is using a KBT type because he's a fan, but he's just a troublemaker who just happens to use a newer KBT-type. Then it turns out that he's actually a fan of Hikaru Agata, who used a KBT-type back in the day. If anything, Hikaru is even more annoyed by Rintarou than Ikki was.
Keet: Rintarou is a one-man stampede — he is small, can be cute, colorful, and he is also extremely hyperactive.
Loony Fan: He keeps insisting that he's Space Medafighter X's apprentice any time he shows up. It bugs the crap out of Space Medafighter X, partially because Rintarou has nothing good to say about X's alter ego.
Older Than They Look: He's slightly older than Ikki and Koji. You'd be forgiven for thinking he's five years old.
Verbal Tic: In the original Japanese dub he ends his sentences with "-da ze!" or, on rare occasions, with "-ze!".

The Screws Gang

In general

Friendly Enemy: Past the first two episodes of the original anime, The Screws don't do much to antagonize Ikki and friends and their deeds (sneaking at a private party, challenging Ikki and Arika to a pitched snowball battle and hoarding the school food's supply) are mischevious at best. Ikki feels comfortable letting them hang around and help them when they need it. By the final quarter of the series, they're straight-up friends.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: They're stand-ins for the "Bad Kids" trio of the original Medarots. Both are a Goldfish Poop Gang made up of a female leader and her two male henchmen, and The Screws use the successor models of the Bad Kid's Medabots.
Terrible Trio: A comedic villainous trio made of an assertive female boss and her two henchmen.

Kikuhime

Kikuhime/Samantha

Voiced by: Masami Suzuki (JP), Susan Laney Dalton (EN), Giannina Jurado (LA), Yolanda Mateos (SP)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kikuhime_episode9.png

The leader of the Screws Gang. She's hot-headed and aggressive, and a half-decent Medafighter, but rarely poses a threat to Ikki.

Abhorrent Admirer: She is this both to Kouji and Kawanakajima/Nathan.
Affectionate Nickname: In the original Japanese, her mother calls her "Hime-chan".
Didn't Think This Through: She has a collective case of this with her gangmates during the first tournament arc, where they equip Peppercat with powerful parts...that are from heavier, larger Medabots. The Fragile Speedster Peppercat is weighed down to the point of immobility and ends up ringed out by her opponent with a single tap.
Dub Name Change: From Kikuhime to "Samantha".
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Expresses this as the series goes on. She was mostly motivated out of ego and helps people mostly because of a faint hope that she gets recognition/fame from her actions, but she had shown unambiguous moments of being unselfish:
- She kicked Spike out of the Screws gang more than once. On the second time, she secretly went under the disguise of the motivational Chick's Salesman to push Spike to mend his relationship with Cyandog, even though she doesn't really benefit from it.
- After coming close to the goal of helping Ikki to rescue Metabee, she initially backed out when it is apparent going beyond that was the hardest part. It takes her Medabot Peppercat's encouragement to Metabee to push her back to go the distance to help Ikki.
- Also not to forget her and the Screws' sudden appearance to help Ikki in his ro-battle with the top-ranked Space Medafighter X when she could just as easily satisfy her own ego by rooting for the other higher ranked Medafighters.
Mean Boss: She does care for her friends, but she is quick to kick them out of the Screws if she finds their Robattle record isn't impressive enough, and she often gets physically abusive. Most of her violent outbursts are edited out of the English dub and derived adaptations.
One of the Boys: She spends her time with boys, mostly with the other members of the Screws... which brings her problems when she gets into normal girly things (like falling in love) since she isn't used to dealing with them.
Ship Tease: After Ginkai performs his Heel–Face Turn in Spirits, she's shown to have feelings for him. She blushes profusely in his presence, hesitates to enter his home because she thinks it'll start rumours, and goes to him for training Peppercat (rather than Ikki and Metabee who have plenty of experience fighting her) with the implication she choose so to spend time with him.
Starter Villain: She's pretty intimidating when Ikki doesn't have a Medabot. Afterwards, she's pretty much a joke.
Tomboy with a Girly Streak: Practices ballet, of all things. She also was considering entering a "Miss Medafighter" beauty contest in one episode.
Tomboyish Name: Applied in both English and Japanese versions, as Samantha (which can be shortened into the more masculine "Sam") and Kikuhime ("hime" meaning princess).
Tomboyish Ponytail
Tsundere: She has a heavy tsuntsun mood, who rarely shows her dere side.
Vocal Dissonance: In the English dub she sounds more like a chain-smoking, middle-aged woman than an elementary school student.

Iwanoi

Iwanoi/Spyke

Voiced by: Shigenori Yamazaki (JP), Robert Tinkler (EN), José Méndez (LA), Miguel Ángel Garzón (SP)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iwanoi.png

The Screws' second-in-command. A wimp and a crybaby, he's completely dependent on his friends.

Adaptational Wimp: Iwanoi/Spyke in the games is actually a competent Medafighter and the Screws' Techno Wizard. Compare that to his Butt-Monkey status in the anime.
Aesop Amnesia: He takes Ikki's advice about using close-range combat exactly once. He seems to just prefer using a shooter-type.
Butt-Monkey: Iwanoi is the butt of all jokes, mostly since he isn't a good (he was ranked in the last places of the National Ranking) nor a smart medafighter.
Dub Name Change: From Iwanoi to "Spyke".
Friendly Enemy: He is probably the only one of the Screws who is more friendly with Ikki and Arika, on occasion. This apparently rubbed off onto his leader Samantha over time, who helped Ikki rescue Metabee.
Idiot Ball: Takes hold of it and never lets it go. He gets told bluntly that his troubles could be fixed by either changing Cyandog's medal or putting the medal in a close combat type body. He doesn't want to change the medal because that's basically his friend's brain. Fair enough... but when he goes and buys a new body, instead of buying the right type which would instantly improve his battle prowess to not pathetic levels, he buys 'another' shooting type with the exact same problem.
Nice Guy: He's very friendly compared to his friends, and he devotedly pampers his Medabot. If only he wasn't so pathetic.
Straw Loser: He exists just so the Screws look slightly more intimidating by comparison.
Techno Wizard: His game incarnation.
Throw the Dog a Bone: In "Future's Past", it's his turn to step in for Space Medafighter X in the tournament, and it's immediately clear that the rest of Team Japan is worried about how he'll negatively affect them, especially after Patra (the leader of Team Egypt, who they'll be facing next) points out that Team Japan has a specific weak link that everyone assumes is him. However, during the fight, Patra reveals that it's Koji (who had been extremely hard on Spyke during training and careless about Krosserdog's well-being during the battle out of worry that they would screw things up) who was the weak link (due to him relying on the same, easy-to-counter strategies in battle, whereas Space Medafighter X switches Medabots every fight for variety and Ikki has the power of the Medaforce for Metabee to utilize). Realizing this breaks Koji's spirit, and he is unable to tell Sumilidon to get out of the way when Team Egypt comes in for the finishing blow. It ends up being Krosserdog who saves Sumilidon at the last second, taking the hit and bringing down the two T-Mummies with it, allowing Metabee to finish off Cleobattler. It's enough to evoke a great swell of pride from the other Screws.
Samantha: (nodding with her arms folded) I never doubted you for a second, Spyke.
Sloan: (tears streaming down his face) I love happy endings.
Weak, but Skilled: Despite his wimpy demeanor and terrible track record, he's notably clever with making up for his medabots weaknesses by mixing and matching different Medaparts.
Willfully Weak: He could easily improve his fortunes by either replacing his medal or Medabot body, but he prefers using what he's got.

Kagamiyama

Kagamiyama/Sloan

Voiced by: Yoshiko Iseki (JP), Darren Frost (EN), Elena Díaz Toledo (LA), Ricardo Escobar (SP)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kagamiyama.png

Huh?

The last member of the Screws. He doesn't say much, but has quite a bit of presence.

The Big Guy: Of the Screws. In the games, he can carry rocks to block your path like it's nothing.
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He looks and acts like a dullard, but he's actually a very dangerous opponent.
Dub Name Change: From Kagamiyama to "Sloan".
Eyes Always Shut
Flat Character: He's got little personality, other than his devotion to Samantha. This is actually a carry-over from the games, where his only personality trait was his obsession with laundry.
The Stoic: He is rarely seen with any other expression that isn't his default. He's not the most talkative of the Screws either.
You Are Better Than You Think You Are: He's a decent Medafighter, but he doesn't have much confidence in his abilities. Once Samantha gives him a pep-talk, he annihilates the Mexican national team.

Baron Von Banish

The man behind the Screws. He seems a little too intense to be leading a primary school gang, but it's all a facade.

Anti-Climax Boss: Invoked with him and his Medabot, Bankaran/Banisher, who through the episode they appear are made up to be fearsome opponents. The actual robattle ends as soon as Metabee shoots Banisher. Once. (His special ability is having a Strong Appearance). In the games, Banisher could only deal damage by counterattacking, and since Metabee headshot it (and Metabee is deceptively strong), he presumably dealt enough damage to knock him out. (Either that or the robot is just too weak to fight, and Baron instead tries to scare opponents into submission.)
Paper Tiger: Much like his Medabot, he's a huge wimp with an intimidating appearance.

Medabots

Brass

Arika/Erika's Medarot partner. A friendly Sailor-Multi type who helps her Master with her journalist adventures.

Action Girl: A female medabot that, while not among the most powerful, is still capable to kick ass when needed.
Affectionate Nickname: "Brass", given by her medafighter, Arika. The actual name of the model Brass belongs to is Sailor-Multi.
Awesomeness by Analysis: She doesn't have much firepower, but her scanner makes her shots a lot more effective.
Cute Bruiser: Among female Medabots, she is specially designed to look cute due to her schoolgirl motif.
Jack of All Stats: Though she lacks Metabee's rocket launchers, she is just as tough and agile, and possibly even more precise.
Sailor Fuku: It's built into her design.
Ship Tease: With Metabee.

Rokusho

A roaming Head Scissors-type Medabot without a Medafighter. Quiet and solitary, Rokusho avoids fighting just for the sake of it. He searches for clues to his lost memories.

All-Encompassing Mantle: His garment of choice, meant to make him look like a Ronin. Notable, since Medabots don't tend to wear clothes at all.
Aloof Ally: He roams around pursuing his own agenda, and won't even give up his name when he first meets Ikki and Metabee. He warms up to them eventually, but still only helps them out if he happens to be passing through.
Blade Below the Shoulder: Rokusho has a sword on his right arm.
But Now I Must Go: He leaves towards the end of Season 1 to search for Dr. Hushi. It causes some inconsistencies with the dub episode order, since he shows up in some episodes after he's left and before he returns.
Dark and Troubled Past: Long ago, Rokusho once had a happy life with his creator, Professor Hushi and Baton, the Robot Parrot. Unfortunately, one day, his home was suddenly caught on fire. Which was revealed to have been caused by Dr. Hebereke/Meta-Evil. Because of this, Rokusho was left without a home, and was forced to wander the Earth. He got better, though.
Do Androids Dream?: Rokusho is a special Medabot, with dreams, complex emotions, and amnesia.
Dramatic High Perching: Likes to do this. Pictured above.
Foil: To Metabee. Both are independent beetle-types with rare medals, but have polar opposite personalities and fighting styles.
Guest Fighter: In Digimon Re Arise aongside Metabee.
Martial Pacifist: Unlike most Medabots, he doesn't like to fight unless he has a really good reason. When he does have a reason, he's quite a challenging opponent.
Misplaced Retribution: Almost killed Dr. Aki when he wrongly learned that he was responsible for the house fire.
The Stoic: He is mostly seen as such, but with a mentor-like twist. However, when his friend Baton falsely says that Dr. Aki killed his old master (and when Rokusho later learns Baton was reprogrammed to falsely accuse Aki)... he becomes the Not So Stoic.
Super Prototype: He's one of the first — if not the first — Medabots ever made, and is one of the strongest and most advanced. He even comes with a rare medal.
Withholding Their Name: During Rokusho's first appearances, whenever one of the characters wanted to know his name, Rokusho would respond that "his name is of no importance".

Smilodonad

Smilodonad/Sumilidon

Kouji's Medabot partner. A powerful Tiger type that specializes in close range combat.

Attack Reflector: His Disrupter, which not only nullifies long-range weapons, but can send Metabee's seeker missiles back to the sender.
Badass Normal: Manages to be about on par with Metabee despite not having a rare medal.
- Empowered Badass Normal: He gains the ability to use the Medaforce in Season 2, despite not having a rare medal.
Close-Range Combatant: He uses a sword and a punch, with no long-range weapons.
Flat Character: He doesn't really have much of a personality.
Foil: To Metabee. While Metabee is a fiercely independent shooter-type with a rare medal, Sumilidon is a relatively normal grappler-type who is dutifully obedient to Koji.
Lightning Bruiser: Extremely fast and agile, but also a heavyweight when it comes to raw power.
Panthera Awesome: A Sabertooth Tiger type.

Saintnurse

Saintnurse/Neutranurse

Karin's Medabot partner. She's a Medabot who specializes in healing and protecting herself or other Medabots from harm.

Actual Pacifist: Has no offensive medaparts, and her personality is completely unsuited for fighting. She's entirely built for defense and healing.
Affectionate Nickname: In the original Japanese, Karin sometimes refers to her as "Nurse-chan".
Barrier Warrior: The only thing she can do besides heal is use an invincible barrier. It's strong enough to take several hits from the Giant Emperor/Giganko.
Dub Name Change: From Saintnurse to "Neutranurse"
Healing Factor: Theoretically, she can use her healing ability on herself. For some reason, she never really does.
Healing Hands: She can heal just about any level of damage to a Medabot short of complete destruction. In the anime, she apparently can even heal/calm humans!
The Medic: A Medabot built solely to heal the wounds of her partners in battle.

Peppercat

Voiced by: Mika Ishibashi (JP), Julie Lemieux (EN)

Kikuhime/Samantha's Medabot Partner. An agile Cat type with electricity-based attacks.

Cat Girl: Peppercat's Medabot model armor and personality is based on a female cat.
The Chew Toy: In the early portions of Spirits, she oftens suffers humiliating and comedic pratfalls due to Samatha's attempts to upgrade her.
Fragile Speedster: Of the Screws' Medabots, she's by far the fastest, and her attack power is somewhere between Cyandog and Totalizer. However, Ikki points out that the only reason she's so fast is because Samantha deliberately removed parts of her armor, making her much faster but unable to take hits. As a result, while she can deal it out very well, she can't take more than a few decent hits before her medal ejects.
Shock and Awe: Her source of power is electricity, and she often takes advantage of the situation as she needs it.
My Master, Right or Wrong: In the episode "For Love Or Robattle", she admits she doesn't think the plan to throw the Robattle is that great of an idea, but that she'll do it anyway because she loves Samantha and trusts her judgment.
Took a Level in Badass: After being a joke for much of Spirits, Samantha has her train with Arc-Dash to become stronger at fighting Kilobots and it pays off. She manages to take on Exor and Unitrix at the same time and win, demonstrating great agility and cleverness in the process.

Cyandog

Cyandog (later Bluesdog/Krosserdog)

Cyandog

Iwanoi/Spyke's Medabot partner. A Dog type that is supposed to specialize in long range combat, but is hampered by technical difficulties.

Amusingly Awful Aim: Cyandog's body is designed for ranged combat, but has an A.I. derived from a Monkey medal that was intended to use wrestling attacks. This makes it extremely difficult for him to shoot anything when Robattling.
Animal Jingoism: His dog-type body is incompatible with his monkey-type medal, referencing an old Japanese idiom about "fighting like dogs and monkeys."
Butt-Monkey: Just Like his Medafighter Spike, Cyandog has the same level of bad luck. Which is justified because Cyandog is powered by a monkey medal.
The Determinator: He's so sick of always losing every robattle that he's able to force himself to stay functional even after all his parts ceased to function. It didn't stop him from losing but it suitably impressed everybody watching.
Long-Range Fighter: Cyandog's speciality is this but since he has a monkey medal inserted, he cannot take advantage of it because monkey medals specialize in hand to hand combat. As Krosserdog, however, his more accurate Medaparts are able to somewhat mitigate the incompatible medal.
Mid-Season Upgrade: He gets and upgrade to the superior Krosserdog model partway through Season 2.
Square Race, Round Class: Part of the reason he struggles to hit anything when Robattling is that his body is a dog-type Medabot fitted with guns and designed for long-ranged fighting, while his personality is derived from a monkey-type medal that is supposed to excel at wrestling and melee combat.
Unskilled, but Strong: He's actually a decent Medabot, one of the more advanced models in the series. But his Medafighter is not all that great, and his body and medal are incompatible.

Kiethturtle

Kiethturtle/Totalizer

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tots.png

Kagamiyama/Sloan's Medabot partner. A heavily armored Tortoise type with a powerful laser attack.

Dub Name Change: With a sort of a strained attempt at a Punny Name.
Inconsistent Spelling: Is it Kiethturtle or Keithturtle?
Mighty Glacier: He's extremely slow, but his attack power is monstrous. Figures, considering it's a tortoise.
Wave-Motion Gun: Its laser cannon doesn't hit very often, but when it does, it's pretty much a One-Hit Kill.

Arc-Beetle

The Medabot used by Space Medafighter X. He's a highly modified KBT-Type, much stronger than the commercial variety. He's also the new body of the original Metabee used in the World Championship 12 years ago, who stared the Ten Days of Darkness. His medal was damaged, and so he has no memory of the event.

Ace Custom: In the anime, Arc-Beetle is one of the strongest Medabots in the world and has never lost a single Robattle. It should be noted that Arc-Beetle is powered by a rare medal and his Medafighter is Space-Medafighter X/Phantom Renegade aka Hikaru/Henry Agata.
Arm Cannon: One on each arm.
Canon Immigrant: Not the character himself, but the medabot Arc-Beetle, which originally appeared in the Medarot R manga as a upgrade for Kantaroth. It's later included in the subsequent games.
Character Death: Arc-Beetle was Hikaru's Metabee, who started the "Ten Days of Darkness". The event ended when Hikaru was forced to kill his partner by destroying Metabee's medal. The remains of the destroyed medal was eventually repaired and used for Arc-Beetle, but the original Metabee's personality and memories were permanently erased.
Charged Attack: His head part, the Prominence. It takes a couple of seconds to charge, but is absolutely devastating when it hits.
Head Blast: Arcbeetle has a head-mounted cannon called Prominence.
Identity Amnesia: Arc-Beetle is actually Henry's old Metabee, whose medal was destroyed to stop the "Ten Days of Darkness". While the medal was repaired, his memories and old identity never came back.
Minor Major Character: Aside from being the Medabot who caused the "Ten Days of Darkness", he is Space-Medafighter X/Phantom Renegade's Medabot, which should get him at least as much spotlight as his partner. However, he barely fights any battles, is not even clearly seen until much after being introduced, and has no real personality or lines (the last point, admittedly, because his old identity was erased).
Named Weapons: His right and left Arm Cannons are called Ignition and Explode respectively. The cannon on his head is called Prominence.
One-Hit Kill: Prominence is almost a finishing move if it hits.
Playing with Fire: Its Medaparts all shoot fireballs, even its feet. The odd one out is the head part.
The Power of the Sun: His Prominence is a solar-powered Wave-Motion Gun.
The Quiet One: Has literally one line in the entire series.
Superior Successor: A massively superior version of the KBT-series.

Warbonnet

Warbandit

Victor's Medabot. A Lion type shooter medabot who is undefeated in battle.

The Atoner: He has a massive guilt complex because he turned on Victor and destroyed his village during the Ten Days of Darkness. He finally makes it up to Victor by sacrificing himself to save his life.
Dub Name Change: To Warbandit.
Extreme Doormat: He takes all of Victor's abuse without comment because he feels like he deserves it and is desperate for Victor to trust him again.
Heroic Sacrifice: Destroys his body to save Victor from one of Meta-Evil's attack medabots, though his medal survives the explosion.
Lightning Bruiser: He has slightly more power than Sumilidon at the expense of slightly less speed. They're both so fast that it's hard to tell the difference.
Long-Range Fighter: He's Sumilidon's counterpart in the same way Metabee is Rokusho's: they are both modeled after big cats, but while Sumilidon is a hand-to-hand combatant, Warbandit is a shooter.
Panthera Awesome: A Lion type medabot.
The Stoic: Shows little to no emotion just like his Medafighter. But just like Victor, its a facade to cope with their shared Dark and Troubled Past.

Kantaroth

Rintarou's Medabot partner. He's a KBT type like Metabee, which causes a case of mistaken identity

Canon Immigrant: He and Rintarou come from the Medarotter Rintarou manga, which was published around the same time as the anime was on air.
Oddball Doppelgänger: He's a newer model in Metabee's series with a more angular design and a more subdued version of Metabee's personality.
Spell My Name With An S: Is it Kantaros or Kantaroth?

Arcbeetle-Dash

Arcbeetle "Arc-Dash" Dash

Voiced by: Naomi Matamura (JP), Dan Petronijevic (EN)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arcdash.JPG

A new version of the Arcbeetle frame capable of medachanging. Ginkai wins it at a tournament held by the Medabots Corporation and put in the medal of his old friend, previously used in a Bayonet.

Boisterous Bruiser: He loves to brag and taunt his opponents, and has the skills to back it up.
Combining Mecha: He can combine with Tyrelbeetle to assume a powerful spaceship-like form.
Teacher/Student Romance: After being asked to train Peppercat in fighting Kilobots, he develops feelings for her.
Vitriolic Best Buds: As Bayonet, he had such a 'tude that Ginkai couldn't take it anymore and gave away his parts and buried his medal. In the present their relationship is more cordial, but in turn Arc-Dash develops a similar dynamic with Metabee.

Roborobo Gang/Rubber-Robo Gang

In general

Edible Theme Naming: They're all named after food, mostly seafood.
Expy: Of Team Rocket, starting as a Goldfish Poop Gang who are always using Mons for crime only to be foiled time and time again by the main characters, but are later revealed to be a major crime syndicate with a sinister leader who at first only appears as a silhouette on a screen.
Goldfish Poop Gang: The initial team of Sakekasu, Sarami, Surume, and Shiokara are hilariously incompetent in anything they do.
Let's Get Dangerous!: That said, once they toss off their disguises and fight with their real identities and Medabots, they can prove themselves to be respectable Medafighters.
Punny Name: All of them have a nickname based off their real names. In addition, Roborobo itself seems to be a pun on robot, dorobo(thief), and rubber.
Take Over the World: Their stated goal from the beginning. Only it doesn't mean what they think it does.

Sakekasu

Sakekasu/Seaslug

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sakekaasu_roborobogang.png

Nah, he's usually not this cool.

The leader of the Roborobo/Rubber-Robo Gang... Except he is not, as it turns out, the real leader of the Gang is Dr. Hebereke.

Butt-Monkey: In comparison to his comrades, Seaslug suffers from this the most. From being tranquilized by a Medabot in space to being turned into a Teddy Bear.
Edible Theme Naming: Sakekasu means sake lees.
Hilariously Abusive Childhood: In the dub, he claims his mother fed him dog food.
Idiot Hair: He sports a cowlick that even comes out from his rubbersuit.
Japanese Delinquents: He used to be a delinquent when he was young. Or so he claims.
Only Known by Their Nickname: In the original Japanese, his real name is revealed to be Sakenosuke Kasukabe, from which his nickname is derived (SAKEnosuke KASUkabe). The English dub follows this trend since his actual name is revealed to be SEAmore SLUGbottoms
The Mole: He infiltrates into the Medabot Corporation using the identity of "Mr. Narazuke" (Mr. Tunahead in the dub) once he is degraded from his leader of the Rubber-Robo gang role.
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Ikki getting jumped by Shrimplips knocks him down in the Robattle rankings and out of the top 3. Seaslug deciding to challenge Ikki in his civilian identity technically counted as a ranking battle, and Ikki's victory allowed him to reclaim the number 3 spot.

Sarami

Sarami/Shrimplips

Edible Theme Naming: Sarami is just the Japanese pronounciation of salami.
Only Known by Their Nickname: In the original Japanese, his real name is revealed to be Mitsuo Sara, from which his nickname is derived (SARA MItsuo). The English dub follows this trend since his actual name is revealed to be SHRIMPy LIPpowitz
Wise Beyond His Years: Despite being a elementary schooler, he is incredibly smart. Too bad he uses his intelligence for evil, huh?
You Are in Command Now: Dr. Meta-Evil puts him in charge of the Rubber-Robo Gang after getting tired of Seaslug's many failures.

Surume

Surume/Gillgirl

Edible Theme Naming: Surume means cuttlefish.
Only Known by Their Nickname: As it seems to be a rule of the Roborobo Gang for their members to have aliases... In the original Japanese, her real name is revealed to be Rumi Takasu, from which her nickname is derived (TakaSU RUMI). The English dub follows this trend since her actual name is revealed to be GILda GIRLnikova.
The Smurfette Principle: The only female member of the gang.
Verbal Tic: In the original Japanese, when she is not using her rubbersuit (as per the usual "robo" verbal tic), aside of changing the tone of her voice, she slips into a verbal tic that consists of adding "-tte kanji" to her sentences.

Shiokara

Shiokara/Squidguts

Dumb Muscle: Squidguts is big and strong... but not the smartest guy around his peers.
The Brute: Physically, he's the strongest member of the gang. Of course, in a world where toys that are weapons of mass destruction are commonplace, this doesn't count for much.
Edible Theme Naming: Shiokara means salted fish entrails.
Only Known by Their Nickname: His real name is Raizou Shioka, while in the dub, it's Guido Guttaluchi.

Dr. Hebereke

Dr. Hebereke/Dr. Meta-Evil

The true mastermind behind the Roborobo Gang. Dr. Hebereke claims to be a descendant of the ancient race of the Medalians. He wants to restore said ancient civilization and make Medarots rule the Earth once again.

Actually a Doombot: The Meta-Evil that shows up in episode 25 is a robotic duplicate, having placed his mind inside a medal with Michael's help.
Adaptational Seriousness: Hebereke in the game was a rather goofy villain, concerned more with getting chicks, and only wanting to build an invencible Medabot for the sake of a petty grudge against Dr. Aki. He wasn't even an official member of the Roborobo gang, merely collaborating with them. In the anime, he's the Roborobo Gang's founder and true leader, and he's very much a Knight of Cerebus, having a darker backstory involving his murder of Dr. Fushihara, and has a more sinister plan of exterminating humanity in order to revive the Medalorian civilization.
Bad Boss: If you fail him, you'll get turned into a Teddy Bear.
Big Bad: Of every season and the series as a whole. Every minor antagonist is working for him directly or indirectly.
Cyborg: Explicitly refers to himself as one, and he can wield Medabot parts for battle. Being part Medabot is part of his motivation.
Dirty Old Man: His 2 Core incarnation. His first motivation for his world domination plans is to become a rich playboy and pick up girls, *then* his revenge against Dr.Aki. Searching one particular computer in the Fiyun Fortress will reveal his most recent search query was "Top 10 Music Idols" and "How to pick up girls".
Ikki: (With a disappointed look)"Dr. Armond..."
Dub Name Change: To Armond as his real name, and Meta-Evil as his villain name.
Easily Forgiven: Fushihara forgives for all his crimes and allows him to start anew in another planet.
The Faceless: For the majority of the anime, he is seen only from below the neck area before the reveal.
Humongous Mecha: Two of them: Giga-Emperor, a giant version of God-Emperor who serves as the Disc-One Final Boss, and Primity Baby, which he pilots directly as the Final Boss.
Knight Templar: Determined to return Medalorian civilization to its former glory, despite the Medabots not wanting to rule the Earth.
Mad Scientist: He is the mind behind the Roborobo Gang, and he is obsessed with power. He strongly believes that he must return the Earth to the glorious old times where the Medabots (as an ancient alien race) ruled it, no matter how many lives that would take.
The Man Behind the Man: The Rubber Robo gang is ostensibly just a group of medal thieves, but they're actually his henchmen, and their thefts are a part of his master plan.
- The final episode of the first series strongly implied that his cat is his own Man Behind The Man!
Manipulative Bastard: He altered Baton's memory so he would say Dr. Aki was the one who initiated the fire that "killed" Dr. Hushi when in reality it was Dr. Hebereke himself who did so. As a result, Rokusho almost killed Dr. Aki in revenge.
Omnicidal Maniac: He plans to exterminate humanity so Medabots can take back their rightful place as the owners of Earth.
Robotic Reveal: Claims to be actually a descendant of the ancient Medalorians. Subverted in that he was actually talking on behalf of Michael, he is actually a normal human being who turned himself into a cyborg.
Villainous Breakdown: He starts losing it when the medabots of Japan send Metabee their energy, and completely breaks down when Hushi shows up.

Michael

Hebereke's pet cat

Expy: Of Giovanni's Persian.
The Dog Was the Mastermind: He is the real mastermind behind Hebereke's actions, being actually a medal controlling the cat via its helmet. He's a Medalorian who somehow kept his memories and talked Hebereke into reviving the medalorian civilization by exterminating humans.
Graceful Loser: Once it becomes clear that Medabots don't want to go back to being Medalorians, he surrenders and ejects his medal out of the cat's body, leaving the planet alongside Hebereke.
The Unfought: Since he lacks a Medabot body, he never fights directly.

Medabot Corporation

Dr. Aki

Dr. Eugene Aki/Atom Akihabara

The President of Medabot Corporation.

Big Good: He's the closest thing the series has, especially given that he's the non-evil counterpart to Dr. Meta-Evil.
Cool Old Guy: Or so he thinks of himself, as he is clearly under the impression that he is at least as cool as everyone thinks he is.
Crazy-Prepared: Built a giant Metabee just in case Dr. Meta-Evil decided to use a Humongous Mecha to destroy humanity. He also had a safety switch implanted in all medabots in case there was a repeat of the Ten Days of Darkness, but never got to use it.
Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": In the original version, he's only refered to as Doctor Medarot.
Expy: Of Professor Hiroshi Ochanomizu of Astro Boy. He's even named Atom in the original dub.
I Was Quite the Looker: In a flashback from episode 26, you can see a young Dr. Aki observing the Rare Medals with his teacher, Professor Hushi.
Obfuscating Stupidity: Deep inside, Dr. Aki knows more than he seems to tell the others.
Self-Made Man: Dr. Aki sold patents of some Medabot models to other companies to have the money to start Medabot Corporation.
Trademark Favorite Food: He likes pudding, and he invites Ikki and the others (from Henry's own money) to eat them with him.

Nae Aki

Nae Akihabara

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nae_tv_tropes.JPG

Dr. Aki's granddaughter.

Adaptational Late Appearance: She's a major character in the first two games, but doesn't appear at all in the first anime. Spirits introduces her to the anime continuity, though with a somewhat different background.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Pulled more specifically on Spirits/Damashii, Nae serves as Karin, Dr. Aki, and Henry's replacement. She's Dr. Aki's granddaughter (as opposed to his niece), becomes Ikki's older Oblivious Love Interest, provides Metabee with upgrades and plays Cool Big Sis. An aversion in the videogames, since Nae Akihabara is introduced to the player as an intern working in the Medarot Corporation in the first game, she then becomes regular in the next games.
Team Mom: Her role in Spirits. She gives support to the kid protagonists and ensures they stay on the right side of Robattling.
Teen Genius: She was brilliant enough to work at the Medabots Corporation as a high schooler.
Wrench Wench: Her truck even functions as a portable mechanic shop.

Ms. Karasumi

Ms. Karasumi/Ms. Caviare

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mscaviar.jpg

A scientist working at Medabot Corporation.

Bespectacled Cutie: Ms. Caviar is an unbelievably sweet and smart bespectacled woman who falls in love with the wrong man.
Canon Foreigner: She only appears in the anime.
Edible Theme Naming: Just happens to fit the Roborobo seafood theme. In the final episode, she renames herself Okizuke, after seafood soaked in sake, quite fitting for being Sakesuke's girlfriend.
The Ditz: Indecisively so. While she is a thoroughly competent worker and turns out to be a decent Medabot user, she's a bit of an airhead, missing some obvious clues that there's something wrong with Mr. Tunahead, and cannot get in her head that loving a terrorist is not a good idea.
Dating Catwoman: A flipped aversion. Ms. Karasumi falls in love with "Mr. Narazuke/Tunahead" (Sakekaasu/Seaslug in disguise), at the moment he infiltrates the Medabot corporation and eventually, reveals his true intentions. She tries for all the possible ways to get to him (even filling the Space Medafighter X role at the final tournament). At the end, however, her long-lost lover just accepts her (after the Roborobo Gang parted their own ways, except for him), making her a new member of the gang.
Face–Heel Turn: Played for Laughs. At the end of the series, ultimately unable to convince Seaslug to leave the Rubberobo gang, she decides to join in order to be with him. Of course, by this point the gang doesn't exist anymore, so it's all well.
Nice Girl: She's so kind and caring that she unknowingly love-bombs Seaslug into falling for her.
The Worf Effect: She uses a Belzelga, a Medabot that debuted by tearing apart an army of tanks, in the final rounds of the World Tournament. She's the first to be taken out. Justified, however, because their opponents use an unexpected tactic - they sacrifice one of their own teammembers so the dangerous Belzelga is destroyed.

Kirara Akita

Hikaru's and Nae's childhood friend. Her Medarot partner is Allumi, a Sailormate model. Much like his friend Hikaru, she also takes a secret identity to help Dr. Aki: the Phantom Lady.

Adapted Out: She does not play any role in both animes despite being a major character in the games. Her only appearance in the anime continuity is a blink-and-you-miss cameo in the Japanese ending credits for Spirits.
Betty and Veronica: The Veronica to Nae's Betty.
Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: A nice if energetic girl with blond hair.

World Robattle Tournament

Victor

The leader of Team Kenya. His Medarot partner (though he doesn't acknowledge him as his friend as to call him "partner"... at least not at first) is Warbandit.

Bald of Authority: He's bald and the leader of his national team.
Canon Foreigner: His character was created for the anime.
Canon Immigrant: He was added as a playable Medafighter in Medarot S, being the first and only Anime-original character to be so.
Cavalier Competitor: He does not take Robattling or the World Tournament seriously at all, and mocks Ikki endlessly for doing so.
Combat Pragmatist: Victor is not above using his teammates' Medabots as sacrifices to either take out an enemy Medabot or protect Warbandit (not that he cares for Warbandit itself, he just wants the victory).
Dark and Troubled Past: Let's see... His hometown got destroyed by rampaging Medabots during the Ten Days of Darkness, his family most likely got killed (he certainly never saw them again)... Guess what? All those traumatic experiences didn't do any good to his personality.
Everyone Has Standards: He might be a cold and ruthlessly pragmatic Robattler who's is perfectly willing to work with villains for more money, but he's also a broken and traumatized man still in pain over losing everyone and everything he cared about during the Ten Days of Darkness. So, as you could imagine, he's *infuriated* when he realizes that he's being used to trigger another Ten Days of Darkness and promptly turns on his employers.
Jerkass with a Heart of Gold: He is a cynical medafighter who sees Medabots (his partner Warbandit, included) as mere tools. He is also working for the Big Bad seeking vengeance for the "Ten Days of Darkness", which destroyed his home village and killed all his family, back in Kenya. His attitude only changes until Warbandit sacrifices himself as a way to protect him; only then he shows his true feelings.
Only in It for the Money: He hates Medabots and doesn't enjoy Robattling at all...but he's excellent at it, and doesn't have any other skills to speak of. For him, it's a job and nothing else.
Punch-Clock Villain: He really doesn't like taking other people's medals, but he does it because the rules of the World Tournament allow him to, and his employers are paying him to do it. When he finds out that his employers are the Rubberobo Gang, and that they plan to use the medals to start another Ten Days of Darkness, he immediately withdraws his allegiance.
The Stoic: Victor is rarely seen without a frown on his face, or with a less cynical view about what a Medabot is supposed to be for the humans.

Joe Swihan

The leader of Team America who nurses a grudge against Team Japan. His Medabot partner is Teepee/Wigwamo.

Arch-Enemy: He treats Team Japan this way, because he was "betrayed" by the former Japanese champion. He also treats Space Medafighter X this way, because he is said champion. He gets better, though.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's a little arrogant and treats Team Japan like crap, but he's a Nice Guy who refuses to take the medals of opponents he defeats.
Loophole Abuse: He invented technology that allows him to transport his Medabot while in use. It's technically not a foul, because the technology is too new for there to be a rule against it.
We Used to Be Friends: With the former Japanese champion, but now hates him because he allegedly started the Ten Days of Darkness.

Patra Tawalama

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/patra_empresspatra.png

Patra and her Medabot

The leader of Team Egypt. Her Medarot partner is Empress Patra/Cleobattler.

Break Them by Talking: She does this to Koji by convincing him that he's Team Japan's weak link. It's brutally effective, and it takes him two episodes to snap out of it.
Confusion Fu: Her Cleobattler is a morph-type that can change its Medaparts to anything else mid-battle.
Jerkass Has a Point: She isn't wrong about Koji's using only one Robattling style, without improvisations.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She's incredibly nice to everyone who isn't team Japan. She also approves Joe’s refusal to take the medals of opponents he defeats.
Manipulative Bastard: Patra specializes in psychological combat, using her Medabot's changing parts to throw the opponent off-balance and getting inside her opponents' heads.
Mirror Match: When she fights Ikki one-on-one, she uses Cleobattler's morph ability to try this tactic.
We Used to Be Friends: With former Japanese champion Hikaru Agata, but now hates him because he allegedly started the Ten Days of Darkness.

Belmont

The leader of Team Iceland. His Medarot partner is Marine Killer/Orkamar.

Canon Foreigner: Only appears in the anime.
Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Well, he is rather eccentric. For example, he likes to look up for hot springs, believes in aliens (he tells Arika that he wants to robattle one... though to be fair, said belief wasn't so out of this world as the series finale proves) and all in all his personality seems to be that of an adorable airhead (kinda like Karin's.)
Nice Guy: He is a kind guy, probably the kindest that Arika has met (compared to Ikki, at least).
Ship Tease: With Arika oh so very much, and they managed to do this on just two episodes! It is quite obvious that Arika develops a crush on him but Belmont's feelings towards her are quite vague, though he definitely develops a soft spot for her.
Spell My Name With An S: Is it Belmont or Bermot?

Other Characters

Mr. Referee

Mr. Uruchi/Mr. Referee

The official Robattle Referee.

Berserk Button: Just don't break the rules of Robattles.
Beware the Nice Ones: As mentioned above, if you dare to break the rules of the Robattle Association, you'll regret it.
Combat Referee: Taken up to Determinator levels; he will show up to officiate your Robattle, even if it means riding a giant kite to a battle taking place on top of a burning building.
Comically Missing the Point: When he asks Rokusho his name, the answer is "his name is of no importance", which the Referee observes to be a weird name.
Cool Old Guy: And how. Despite his age, he manages to be wherever the main characters are to officiate a robattle. He also can show his mandatory power of respect as an authority figure (a referee in this case) to medafighters who may be doing anything against the rules of the Robattle Association.
Made of Iron: He can apparently take more of a beating than any Medabot.
Position of Literal Power: The one time Mr. Referee is attacked, he strikes back with a Medabot ''satellite''.

The Chick Salesman

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chicksalesman.png

Do you want one of these chicks?

Comically Missing the Point: His last pep-talk to get Ikki to fight the Giant Emperor: "help your loved ones and give them the gift that only you can give." Ikki takes it to mean that he shouldn't give up and runs off, with the salesman confusedly thinking that he had finally made a sale.
Intrepid Merchant: He shows up everywhere, even in the Rubberobos' hideout and the site of world-destroying Medabots. It doesn't help him sell, but you have to admire his tenacity.
Mistaken for Profound: Is he ever. Most of the times, his seemingly-profound advice is actually meant to convince Ikki to buy a chick. Sometimes he does give useful inspirational words on purpose, though.
No Name Given: Not that he's significant enough to merit a name.
Severely Specialized Store: He only sells chickens...at least until the end of Season 1, where he's sold all of his stock to The Colonel. Then he sells rabbits. He himself points out that this isn't a great business model, and that pet stores have put him out of business countless times.

Professor Fushihara

Professor Fushihara/Dr. Hushi

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/drfushihara.png

A brilliant scientist who developed the Medal Theory. The creation of all Medabots is based on his work.

A Pupil of Mine Until He Turned to Evil: Dr. Armand/Meta-Evil was once his apprentice until he wanted to use his inventions to take over the world. It's not entirely clear if Armand was corrupted by the potential of Medabots or was a Deceptive Disciple the whole time, though the former is implied more.
Dub Name Change: An odd example, since his name isn't Anglicized like the other name changes.
He's Just Hiding: Rokusho suspects that the fire that destroyed the lab didn't really kill him, and he sets off to find him. He's right.
Lost Technology: Rokusho discovers that he did not invent Medabots, he merely rediscovered the technology from an ancient civilization.
Mentor Archetype: To Dr. Aki and Rokusho, complete with...
Mentor Occupational Hazard: Killed by Dr.Meta-Evil in an attempt to keep his research from falling into the wrong hands.
Never Found the Body: He was hanging out with aliens the whole time after his supposed death.
One-Man Industrial Revolution: The 22nd Century seems to be almost identical to the early 21st in terms of technology...except for the fruits of Dr. Hushi's work.
Posthumous Character: He's long dead by the time the series starts, but he plays a significant role in Rokusho's and Dr. Aki's backstories. Not to mention, he's the entire reason that the show has a premise. He makes an appearance in the finale of the second season.
The Professor: His exact title depends on the adaptation, but he fits this archetype the best.
Reluctant Mad Scientist: He was enthusiastic about his work until Dr. Meta-Evil wanted to use it for evil purposes. He tried unsuccessfully to destroy all of his research out of a fear that it would be misused.
Riddle for the Ages: Just how did he escape the house fire that Dr. Meta-Evil caused? And what was his connection with the aliens that apparently rescued him from said fire?
Talking the Monster to Death: Does this to Meta-Evil, telling him that the former Medalorian civilization wiped themselves out because they reached the peak of their development too fast.

Chidori Tenryou

Ikki's mom.

Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Apart from forcing Ikki to wake up in the morning by sleeping next to him, she blabs embarrasing secrets of him to reporters who came to interview him before the tournament.

Baton

Professor Fushihara's pet parrot, and long-time friend of Rokusho.

Fake Memories: He was implanted with a memory chip intended to make Rokusho believe that Aki had killed Fushihara.
Robotic Reveal: After his apparent "Death", Mrs. Tenryou picked Baton up and saw that his batteries had run out.
Spell My Name With An S: Is it Burton or Baton?

Salty

Ikki's pet dog.

Black Bead Eyes: He is drawn with black dots for his eyes, although he does have white pupils within them.
Meaningful Name: His name is Salty, and his fur is as white as salt.

Coach Mountain

Ikki's strict school teacher and gym coach with a dislike for Medabots.

Determinator: Not even an indoors snowstorm will prevent him from showing up to school to teach.
The Dreaded: Feared by Ikki and The Screws who makes them run laps if he finds them with Medabots.
Drill Sergeant Nasty: Would be more at home at an army base than being a school teacher
Friend to All Children: Ikki and The Screws aside whenever they get on his bad side, he deeply cares for kids and it's revealed that his shady dealings is actually him trying to get money to build a playground.
Hypocritical Humor: Dislikes Medabots but it's revealed he has one of his own.
Physical Fitness Punishment: His favorite method (Justified as he is the school gym coach). Fail a test? Run a lap. Running in the hallways? Run a lap. Not paying attention in class? Run a lap. Accidentally cause a mess? You better believe you're running a lap.
Sadist Teacher: He is introduced as this, with P.E. exercises that would make Navy SEALs faint. However, he turns out to be more of a ...
Stern Teacher: Despite how much he works his students to the bone, he does it for their own good and firmly believes in five principles of teaching: 1) A teacher must respect his students' individuality. 2) A student's failures are the teacher's failures. 3) A teacher must make the most out of his time with his students. 4) A teacher must protect his students. 5) A teacher must be a role model for his students.

The Kilobots

In general

A rival robot line to the Medabots, built for maximum firepower at the expense of emotions.

Adaptational Villainy: The Kilobots concept only exist in the Spirits anime. The Kilobots roster consist of various Medabots from Medarot R, 3 and 4, none of which (beside Redrun and Gryphon) were portrayed as any more evil or destructive than other Medabots.
Crippling Overspecialization: Kilobots are only built for battle and are useless for anything else. Ginkai learns this the hard way when he's stuck inside a speeding truck and can't stop it because his Unitrix's watch doesn't recognize "Stop the truck" as an attack. This also effect them in battle, as their lack of creativty makes them terrible at dealing with the unexpected or plan for environmental factors.
Dumb Muscle: Due their lack of creative thinking, Kilobots tend to falter if beating an opponent takes more than sheer bludgeoning. One example is Ginkai's Unitrix short-circuiting himself by stepping on an exposed wire... after Metabee warns him about it.
Godzilla Threshold: Their arrival convinces Dr. Aki to take the Arcbeetle Dash and Tyrelbeetle prototypes out of mothball, after he had previously judged them as too dangerous to sell to kids.
Machine Monotone: They speak like this, in contrast to the more naturalistic speech of Medabots.
My Little Panzer: Exaggerated. While Medabots are already dangerous devices (and them going Skynet during the Days of Darkness proved it further In-Universe), the Kilobots are designed to be only weapons. It says a lot that when one of their prototypes goes on a rampage, the police and the military are unable to stop it.
Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Neither their localized or original name ("Death Medarots") exactly set them up as cuddly robot friends.
No-Sell: Even the lowest Kilobots are immune to the effects of the Medaforce at the beginning of Spirits, which Nae explains as being as a result of their lack of emotion, due to the Medaforce tapping into a Medabot's emotional energy.
The Unfettered: Kilobots are marketed toward those who don't care to respect the rules of Robattle. As such, they can cheat in various ways like reloading ammo mid-fight, swapping parts mid-fight to replace damaged components, and attack other robots before a formal agreement to Robattle has been made.

Kokuryuu Kamizake

Kokuryuu Kamizake/Kam Kamazaki

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kam_tv_tropes.JPG

Voiced by: Yumi Kakazu (JP), Caroline Lesley (EN)

The son of the Kilobot's company CEO and something of a brand ambassador/product manager for the line, the only thing Kam wants is to see every single Medabot scrapped and replaced with a Kilobot.

Big Bad: He's the main villain of Medabots Spirit.
Child Prodigy: Despite being a young boy, he programmed the OS of Exor and Unitrix.
Dub Name Change: From Kokuryuu Kamizake to Kam Kamazaki in the English dub.
Easily Forgiven: Despite Kam having tried to destroy the Medals of Metabee and other Medabots belonging to the heroes several times, and having successfully destroyed the Medals of an untold number of other Medabots (which effectively makes him a Serial Killer), Ikki has no problem welcoming him into his group of friends after his Heel–Face Turn.
Enfant Terrible: He is a young boy who regularly uses his Kilobots to destroy the Medals of Medabots, which effectively makes him a Serial Killer since said robots are sentient.
False Friend: Kam is not a people person and buys friendships through gifts of Kilobot hardware. In his own words, he doesn't need friends but winners who'll show off how strong Kilobots are. When he tells Ginkai their friendship is contingent on him following Kam's orders, that is the final push Ginkai needs to complete his redemption.
Freudian Excuse: Kam became an unfeeling boy who wants to prove to the world that Kilobots are stronger than Medabots after his mother passed away from an illness when he was younger.
Heel–Face Turn: After Metabee, Roks, and Arc-Dash save him from a fire at X-Treme Tech, he gives up manufacturing Kilobots, seems to develop a genuine friendship with his only sentient Kilobot Blackbeetle whom he previously treated as just as disposable as his other creations, and is welcomed into Ikki's group of friends.
Improbable Age: He is a brand ambassador/product manager for X-Treme Tech despite being a grade-schooler.
Manipulative Bastard: His recruitment tactics for Kilobot users prey on people's insecurities and recent failures.
Missing Mom:
Parental Abandonment: Kam's mom passed away due to illness when he was younger while his father neglected him to focus on his investments in America. This is what turned him into the callous boy we see in the series
Serial Killer: He regularly uses his Kilobots to destroy the Medals of Medabots that are effectively their souls, and encourages his "friends" to do so as well.
The Stoic: He shows flashes of surprise and amusement, but he never loses his composure. His philosophy is that Medafighters should suppress their emotions when Robattling so that they won't be sad when the time comes to get rid of their Medabots. Turns into Not So Stoic in the finale when Ikki manages to press the one button he has: that he has no real friends.
Ungrateful Bastard: He forms no attachment to his Kilobots and is quite eager to trash them when a stronger prototype comes along. Both Ginkai and a tech at X-Treme Tech are shocked by this.
Kam: Now that I have Redrun, I don't need Exor.
Ginkai: Don't need him? He fought for you, doesn't that matter to you at all?
Kam: Sure did!

Ginkai

Voiced by: Eiji Takemoto (JP), Phil McCordic (EN)

An early adopter of the Kilobots, Ginkai is Kam's main enforcer in the early portion of Spirits. After memories of his old Medabot Bayonet comes flooding back, a chain of events leads him to turn over a new leaf and dedicates himself to saving Medabots with his new-old partner, Arc-Dash.

The Ace: He's a legitimately skilled Medafighter who doesn't need the Kilobot's cheating to win. As a kid, he was ostracized because he was too good.
The Atoner: After his Heel–Face Turn, he's fixated on not cheating even when it places him at a great disadvantage and adamant to set an example so that younger Medafighters don't end up like he did.
Even Evil Has Standards: When Kam reneges on an agreement and tries to destroy Metabee's parts by throwing them in front of a subway train, he's visibly uncomfortable and pleads with him to not go through with it. This is one of the hints he's not really that bad of a guy.
Good Feels Good: Prior to his redemption, Ginkai complains Robattling with Kilobots feels more like work than something fun. When he competes honestly at the Medabot Corporation's tournamenent, he feels happy for the first time in a long while and realizes he gets a lot more out of fighting fair.
The Heavy: Early on, he's the main person Kam turns to whenever he wants to enact a scheme.
Heel–Face Turn: He's the main recurring villain for the early episodes of Spirits, and a spiteful jerkass who loves to cheat and needlessly brutalize is opponents. Eventually there are hints he's not a completely rotten guy and there are lines he won't cross. After entering a tournanement held by the Medabots Corporation and winning Arcbeetle Dash, Ginkai realizes he'd rather be a honest medafighter and sacrifices his Unitrix when Kam tries to destroy Metabee's medal with Redrun. From that point on, he's a staunch ally of the good guys.
Reformed, but Not Tamed: After his Heel–Face Turn, he's undeniably a heroic figure but remains brash and arrogant.
Used to Be a Sweet Kid: As a young child, he loved Medabots and used his skills to protect inexperienced Medafighters from bullies. His dispute with Bayonet took him down a dark path, one that Kam took advantage of.

Wakaba

Wakaba/Suzie

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/suzie_8.png

Voiced by: Mayumi Akado (JP), Susan Roman (EN)

A girl whose friendly demeanors hide a nasty attitude. Kam is impressed by her ruthlessness after seeing Robatttle and recruits her as a postergirl for the Kilobots line. She initially uses the Medabot Puppycat before switching to the Kilobot Ambiguous 2.

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Presents herself as a nice girl, only to reveal herself to be a vicious bully when things don't turn her ways.
Hair-Trigger Temper: She's quick to anger. Even saying she has a temper will flare her up.
Reformed Bully: After Kam turns over a new leaf, she along with the other Rogue Medafighters renounce her way, and she's shown enjoying a friendly Robattle with Samantha in the Japanese ending credits.
Teen Idol: Becomes the human face of Kilobots marketing after they start selling at mass retail. The English dub translates it to "model".
Third-Person Person: Occasionally speaks like this.
Vocal Dissonance: In Japanese, her voices sounds a lot lower and raspier than you'd expect a little girl to sound.

Blackbeetle

Blackbeetle/Blakbeetle

Voiced by: Yuu Daiki (JP), Susan Roman (EN)

A Kilobot created after Kam becomes curious of Metabee's power. She is equipped with an experimental Neo Ex Medal that gives her, unlike other Kilobots, a personality and the ability to feel emotions.

The Determinator: After Kam trashes her for losing to Metabee, she (with some help from a time-delayed activation by Eddy) crawls out of the crash compactor she was in and, despite having being grieviously injured by a smelting laser, walks to Nae's repair shop out of sheer willpower. This impresses Kam enough to give her another shot.
Evil Counterpart: Kam ponders why Metabee manages to punch above his weight in term of Robattle skills, so he decides to make his own Metabee.
Evolutionary Pressure Cooker: Her training qualifies, as she was the sole survivor of what amounted to a competition to the death among 100 prototypes.
Eyepatch of Power: Her left optic gets gouged out by her final opponent in her training and from that point she covers with a metalic piece ressembling an eyepatch, giving her a threatening, battle-worn appearance. After Kam finally accepts her as her friend, she gets her left optic back.
My Master, Right or Wrong: Despite being a Kilobot, it's made clear Blackbeetle isn't a inherently bad bot and has the same need for friendship as any Medabots. Despite Kam's uncaring treatment of her, she goes back to him after a fugue, reasoning she is nothing without her master.
She's a Man in Japan: The Latin American Spanish and European Spanish dubs make her male.
Tragic Villain: She's a cold and ruthless robot who has little problems acting on her master's cruel orders, up to destroying Medabot's medals. She was also born in a brutal Training from Hell and her master is a callous boy who makes a point to deny her need for affection and treats her as a disposable weapon despite her being a sapient, emotional being. When Nae explains to her she has feelings and valid emotional need, her deep repression makes her go berserk.
Training from Hell: To be selected as Kam's Kilobot, she had to take on 99 other prototypes.

Blossomail

Blossomail/Redrun

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/redrun_tv_tropes.JPG

An exceptionally powerful and hard-to-control Kilobot prototype, Redrun is not a bot to be triffled with.

The Juggernaut: As soon as she's completed, Redrun trashes the X-Treme Tech laborary she was built in. The scientists there manage to freeze her, but she resumes her rampage when the truck transporting her suffers a road accident. Neither Medabots or conventional civic response are able to stop her. And when she finds a bot she deems a worthy opponent, she will stop at nothing until it's turned to scraps.
Make Way for the New Villains: She makes a joke out of Unitrix, and in turn Gryphon's power is established when he manages to trash a Redrun backed by multiple Unitrixes.
She's a Man in Japan: She's explicitely a female Medabot/Kilobot, but the English dub of Spirits makes her male.
Worthy Opponent: Said verbatim in the English dub and a core function of her programming. Redrun is programmed to ignore other Kilobots or Medabots until they attack her. That is, unless she deems them a worthy opponent, in which case she will refocus all her attention to destroying the target.
