eyes glow red and pilots the war-era Wygar QT-ARMS. In spite of being quiet most of the time
and focused on Leopard's well-being, Honoka has quite an anguishing prologue that evokes
some strong emotions. Once wielded as an EXISTENCE, Honoka broke away from Nerval 50
years ago with what are now the Shishido elders and fought alongside Kagura who matched her
hatred for Nerval. Honoka is on borrowed time as she struggles to reconcile how things have
changed over the past half-century with Kagura and Friedrich along with all the crucial actors in
Nerval's recent advent. She also revealed that her life is coming to an end. After Honoka's
Wygar QT-ARMS was destroyed in battle with Takane, she used her new QT-ARMS, which
resembles the EXISTENCE units that Nami controls.
Leopard and Akiha's mutual interdependence exponentially develops over the course of the
series because it is only by Akiha's assistance that the Leopard Cannon is successfully
discharged while at the same time Akiha is guided through truly appreciating life for the gift it is.
There is an arc near the end where Leopard annoys Kazane with his insistence on immediately
rescuing Akiha heedless of its futility that suggests he has come to care about Akiha very much.
Leopard has two creatures he has personally named residing in his colony, one of which is a
crocodile-like creature named Crocodilias Leopardus, which is shown to have three younger
Crocodilias. The other creature is an octopus-like creature named Leoparda Octopada. There is
also a headless ghost which wears a golden armor and stays in the library.
Leopard has a dark side, who introduces himself as the "Prince of Darkness". The only
difference is the eye colour which is blue. According to his dark side, 50 years ago, Leopard
was the one who dominated the world with tremendous power and blanketed it with fear. When
Benkei came to challenge him to a duel, Leopard has already switched to the dark side of his
and even used his sword to damaged Benkei badly. He did not even allow anyone to enter his
room. According to Fon, it is the swords that is cursed and awakened Leopard's dark side. His
dark side does not require Akiha to activate his "Soul Shout" energy attack as he defeated
Nerval by himself. He also recruited Nami.
Shishido family
from an approaching anti-matter missile inspires Nerval to intercede and have a change of heart
with how he recruits people into his Utopian plans. Even with room and board at the Orbital
Cafe Enigma endemic with Nerval's intercession, Imoko's inability to return to Akiha with the
insight she has gained from watching Nerval as he tries to understand humans proves crucial in
Akiha growing into her role as the "Girl Who Leapt Through Space".
general handyman as evidenced by her martial arts robot bodyguard Mr. Black Belt and several
other repair jobs that she prosecutes over the course of the series. The gibberish that Sakura
uses when describing and explaining things is actually a customized language that Sakura has
developed. Considering that Nami is the only Shishido sibling that cannot interpret it, this
customized language is most likely QT energy waves channeled through her alien partner
Yuupitan whose dormancy state is as her hat and scarf. While Yuupitan can move about on his
own, he is quite content to act as an extra pair of hands at Sakura's very frequent request in
return for Sakura transporting him.

pride in herself. Nicknamed Min-chan by Bou. She pilots the Mintaiger, the other half of the QT-
