Main characters

Yūma Kuga (空閑 遊真, Kuga Yūma)

Voiced by: Junko Minagawa (vomic),^[1] Tomo Muranaka (anime)^[2]

He has a laid back attitude, and isn't very knowledgeable of Japanese customs, leading him into confusions with the wrong people. When he was 11, he and his father Yūgo Kuga (空閑 有吾, Kuga Yūgo) were on a war in the Neighbor world, lending their power to an old friend of his father. In an occasion where his father told him not to follow him, Yūma disobeyed his father, sneaking into battle, which caused his death. His father, finding his dying son, sacrificed his life to create a Black Trigger (黒(ブラック)トリガー, Burakku Torigā) to revive Yūma. His guardian, Replica, told him to go to the Human world and see if Border could find a cure to his condition (though he wanted to bring his father back instead), only to find out they didn't know the answer either. In chapter 33 he officially joined Border as an C-Class attacker in Mikumo Unit. As he explained, he's what they actually call a "Neighbor", and the creatures that have been attacking the human world are actually "Trion Soldiers", drones created to perform different tasks. He received the nickname "C-Class White Devil" (C級の白い悪魔, C-kyū no Shiroi Akuma), and in the B-Rank Wars, his nickname becomes "White Nightmare", due to his white hair and ferocity in battle. Despite his young appearance, he is 15 years old. He is an Attacker that uses Scorpion to fight in the Rank Wars.

Osamu Mikumo (三雲 修, Mikumo Osamu)

Voiced by: Ryōta Ōsaka (vomic),^[1] Yūki Kaji (anime)^[2]

A Border agent with low Trion level. He is usually referred as simply "Four Eyes" by people outside the Mikumo unit. He later promoted into B-Class Border and later became a Shooter and the leader of Mikumo Unit. He became Chika's protector after her older brother (and his tutor) disappeared mysteriously, and joined Border in order to be better able to protect her, but the examiner suggested him o become an Engineer or Operator, due to his low trion. Unable to accept this, he imprudently tried to infiltrate Border's headquarters and negotiate with them, but he was almost attacked by a Bamster, which was destroyed by Jin. He befriended Yūma after he was transferred to his school. He is 15 years old. He is a Shooter

Chika Amatori (雨取 千佳, Amatori Chika)

Voiced by: Nao Tamura (anime)^[2]

A girl with huge trion level, which "attracts" Trion Soldiers towards her. Her brother Rinji and friend were captured by the neighbor, and tired of running away and looking for a way to rescue them, she joins Border as a C-Class Sniper in Mikumo Unit. She purposely keeps herself away from others because she is afraid she'll cause them to be captured by Neighbors and she doesn't want to get hurt. She also has a side effect that allows her to feel the presence of Trion Soldiers and hide her presence from them. Izumi labeled her as "Tamakoma's Trion Monster" (玉狛のトリオン怪獣 (モンスター), Tamakoma no Torion Monsutā), due to her huge amount of trion. In the B-Rank Wars, the official nickname is "Super Trion Monster". She has short hair styled in a hime cut, with an cowlick in the middle. She is 13 years old.

At the end of the large scale invasion by Aftokrator, Replica is severely damaged. While in this state he, with the help of Osamu, infiltrates the black trigger ship and manages to send the ship back.

His mother was killed by Neighbors but despite that, he doesn't hate Neighbors, as he has been to the Neighbor World and knows not all Neighbors are evil. He was the one who invited Yūma to join Border. Like Yūma's father, his mentor Sōichi Mogami (最上 宗一, Mogami Sōichi) sacrificed his own life to create a Black Trigger, which Yūichi competed for, and later gave it away so that Yūma could officially join and be recognized as a Border agent by Headquarters.

Terms

Trigger controllers - Controllers are those who can use Trigger weapons.

Meedan - Meedan is what Aftokrator calls Earthling humans and/or Border.

Trigger On - This is the activation phrase used by controllers to activate their power mode so they can use their special powers, the trigger weapons.

Black Trigger - These are very rare special Trigger weapons with immense, unknown, and/or not fully understood powers and limitations. Black triggers are the only triggers that do not have a safety return to base feature like the B and A class triggers normally have. There are also limitations to who can use them as the power or spirit energy that makes up the power sources inside triggers selective of who it is willing to pair up with. As such, any Black Trigger user must be compatible with the trigger or nothing will happen.

Bail Out - Bail out is a safety system that is automatically triggered when the user takes too much damage or loses too much trion to continue fighting. This safety function ejects the user safely back to HQ via some sort of aerial teleportation method indicated by the distinctive blue streak it marks in the sky as its trail.

Neighbors - Though the Earthlings and Border calls all those monstrous giant creatures neighbors, they are in fact automaton robotic soldiers from the various nations in the other world. Neighbors are actually the human builders, operators, and controllers of the creatures. As it is pointed out, not all neighbors are hostile to humans, in fact most are hostile to each other as the other world is constantly at war among the nations.

Trion Soldiers - This is the actual name of the monstrous creatures coming from the other world to attack or capture humans.
