[edit] Main Characters

[edit] Heroes

Angel Blade (エンジェルブレイド Enjeru Bureido) is the main character of the series. She is the alter ego of Moena. Her mission is to save the day whenever someone is attacked by one of Phantom Lady's mutants. She primarily fights with a sword that is formed from her heart-shaped pendant. Sexual encounters are her Achilles heel, as her hormones sometimes render her helpless. She sometimes rides the "Angel Motor," though she doesn't in the Punish! episodes. Her uniform and powers were developed by her parents specifically to battle Phantom Lady and her minions, though it is never explained why they would develop such a sexually charged outfit (one that does not cover her breasts or pubic area) for their daughter. When her life or anyone else's life is in great danger, Angel Blade goes into a sort of super mode where she dons angel-like wings of energy and her eyes glow white. It is revealed in Angel Blade Punish! Episode 3, that Angel Blade's true power is Gravity, (another reference to Gravion), that only comes out when people are in great danger. This is partly due to Elphie's "Revival" of Angel Blade.

Angel Ender is Angel Blade's equally revealingly dressed partner who normally fights using only her fists. She is the alter ego of Shaiya. She first appears in Angel Blade episode 3, where she saves Angel Blade during her battle with Colonel Irene & General Chloe; she also claims that she is the prototype for Angel Blade. It seems that she has her own version of the Angel Motor, but it is never really seen besides after the end credits of Angel Blade Episode 3.

Angel Beretta is the mysterious third Angel, who rides a motorcycle and fights using a pair of hi-tech pistols. She appears only at the end of Angel Blade Punish! episode 2 and for few minutes in the 3rd episode. She saves Angel Blade from being impaled by Widow, but doesn't say much. She is the only one of the Angels who isn't sexually molested at some point by the villains. It is unknown if she is another prototype, or a new Angel.

Moena Shinguuji (神宮寺萌奈 Shingūji Moena) is a young, not overly developed, student at the academy who is able to transform into her super heroine alter ego, Angel Blade, thanks to the power of her heart-shaped amulet given to her by her parents. She works as a waitress at her aunt's cafe on the academy campus. At first, she is unaware of her dual-life as Angel Blade, until (near the end of the 1st episode) her heart pendant is damaged, leaving Moena's consciousness in control of the Angel Blade body.

Shaiya Hishizaki is a famous supermodel who first appears briefly in Angel Blade episode 1. She later joins Moena and is revealed to be Angel Ender's alter ego. In the Angel Blade Punish! series, she is raped twice: first (in episode 2) by her photographer, after he is "brainwashed" by Widow, then later (in episode 3) by Widow's minion Sledge, in front of an arena full of famous people who all turn out to be mutants.

Elphie Elphman is a busty cowgirl who meets Moena at the beginning of the 2nd Angel Blade Punish! episode. When Moena eventually gets in trouble, Elphie transforms into Angel Beretta. In Angel Blade Punish! episode 3, she (as Angel Beretta) saves Ayame, Shaiya and Angel Blade after they are captured by Widow. Interestingly, she sometimes uses English words and phrases amongst her otherwise Japanese sentences (e.g "What you name, samurai girl?" and "Moena, are you ok?").

Ayame Fudo is a policewoman from a ninja family who becomes involved with the Angel Units and tries to assist them as best she can. However, despite her skills, she is captured and raped almost every time she does. She first appears in Angel Blade episode 1, where she is sexually humiliated, tortured and raped by Nailkaiser and her demons until Angel Blade saves her. She wears a costume simliar to Mai Shiranui from King Of Fighters.

[edit] Villains

Phantom Lady (ファントム・レディ Fantomu Redi) is the main antagonist of the story. Mysterious, powerful and beautiful, she has gigantic breasts that are constantly swollen and overloaded with creamy milk. She is notorious for having breasts that self-lactate, having her breasts pumped while having sex with her minions, drinking from her own breasts lustfully, and simply nursing her minions like babies by letting them suck her breasts.

Nailkaiser is one of Phantom Lady's chief minions. She appears in the very first episode of Angel Blade. She has the ability to grow up to three penises at the same time. In the 1st episode of Angel Blade Punish!, she is sacrificed by Phantom Lady, who claims that "You sacrifice what you love." Luckily for her, she is saved by Angel Blade (who destroys the "chaos") and Angel Ender (who is shown holding Nailkaiser and Kyoka).

Karin (カリン Karin) is one of the five chief minions. She is Phantom Lady's daughter. Karin tends to keep to herself until episode 3. Towards the end of episode 2, she captures Kyoka, and wounds Issato. She plays an important role in episode 3, and in the 1st episode of the Angel Blade Punish! series.

Widow is one of Phantom Lady's mutants. She appears for the first time in Angel Blade Punish! episode 2. Her name is a reference to her spider-like abilites. Widow almost succeeds in impaling Angel Blade, but Angel Beretta comes to her rescue. She tends to call Angel Blade a "caterpillar".

Colonel Elaine (イレーヌ大佐 Irēnu Taisa) and General Chloe (クローエ将軍 Kurōe Shōgun) are minions of the Phantom Lady. They are featured in episode 2 and have a small role in Angel Blade Punish! episode 1. They appear to work together and both attack by expelling powerful energy from their penises. Chloe almost kills Angel Blade before Angel Ender comes to her rescue, catching Chloe and Irene off guard. They return to Phantom Lady, who is not happy with their failure and tortures them, but she ceases when she notices they are getting pleasure from it. So she then uses them in the "feast"; it appears as though they are now nothing more than a part of the "chaos."

Rush and Sledge are the minions of Widow. They appear in the first and third Angel Blade Punish! episodes. In the third episode they rape both Shaiya and Ayame in a big arena full of famous people, who turn out to be mutants. Later in the episode, they use themselves as shields to protect Widow from Angel Beretta's gunfire and while they are weakened, Shaiya and Ayame kill them.

[edit] Minor Characters

Emily is a busty, pink-haired policewoman who only appears in Angel Blade episode 2. She tries to capture Colonel Elaine and General Chloe, but is quickly defeated; she is brutally raped by General Chloe until Angel Blade bursts in to save the day.

Aunt Kyoka is Moena's aunt and the owner of the café where she works. She possesses pouty lips and tight curvature, but is best know for her enormous breasts that rival even Phantom Lady's. In the second Angel Blade episode, she meets with Issato, Moena's supposedly dead father, in his secret lab. She is the 'mother' of the Angel System, her womb was somehow used to create the Angel Units Blade, Ender, and Beretta. She is captured by Karin, Phantom Lady's mutant. In Angel Blade Punish! episode 1, Phantom Lady has Karin rape Kyoka. Heavy bust-play ensues, but unfortunately Kyoka does not appear in any later episodes.

Seiryu Tenmyoin is the student body president and most popular girl at AquaTokyo complex's university. In episode 1, Nailkaizer mistakenly believes she is Angel Blade and captures her. Ayame tries to save her but is also captured. Seiryu's hormones usually get in the way and render her vulnerable, to the point where she takes pleasure from being raped. In episode 2, she learns about Moena being Angel Blade and talks to her about it. She appears in all three Angel Blade episodes, but does not appear in Angel Blade Punish!

[edit] Trivia

• In episode 2, when General Chloe is in the hospital and goes to Ayame's room, there is a dummy in her bed in place of her. This dummy is a reference to Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas, with modified hair.
• Masami Obari (the man behind anime hits like the Fatal Fury Movies, Virus Buster Serge, and Gravion), puts in several inside jokes for people to notice in all of his works. In Angel Blade Punish! episode 2, several references to Gravion are implied including a guest appearance by Mizuki Tachibana named Hazuki Tachibana. Shaiya and Karin are characters from Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer, through their appearance and background has been changed, Karin in Gowcaizer appears as one of the protagonist. Nailkaizer's design may also be derived from Gowcaizer.[1] Also there references to Virus, and Viper GTS.
• In Angel Blade Punish, during the rape of Shaiya and Ayame, the camera moves on to Rush holding Shaiya in front of him. However, for a few seconds, Shaiya's hair, which is blonde, is colored reddish-brown.
