====New Characters====
*'''[[Busou Shinki|Arnval]]''' ({{animevoices|[[Kana Asumi]]}}) - an android created using parts and designs stolen from the Bacterians when Tita Nium betrayed them. Her purpose is specifically to counter Bacterian weapons and tactics. In personality, she's somewhat dull and formal, a very proper and polite girl who is more accustomed to taking it easy. In combat, she tends to rely on her programming rather than her instincts. This sets her apart from her more emotionally comfortable "Sister", Strarf.

*'''[[Busou Shinki|Strarf]]''' ({{animevoices|[[Minori Chihara]]}}) - a second half of the Android Pair, something of a "sister" to Arnval. She has a Devil motif, complimenting Arnval's Angel motif, and was designed explicitly for night combat.

Her Ride Viper is ''[[Solar Assault|Alpinia]]'', based from ''[[Solar Assault]]''.
*'''[[List of Castlevania characters|Gesshi Hanafuuma]]''' ({{animevoices|[[Satomi Sato]]}}) - a joined up with the G Organization fairly recently.

As a samurai, she's an excellent soldier and a powerful Riding Viper pilot, but she has a hard time adjusting to the more eccentric behaviors of the Bacterians. Her Ride Viper is ''[[Getsu Fūma Den|Hadouken]]'', based-off from ''[[Axelay]]''.
*'''[[List of Castlevania characters|Kokoro Belmont]]''' ({{animevoices|[[Hitomi Harada]]}}) - a vampire hunter and a middle student of St. Gradius Academy, but her life is getting miserable since her older brother ''[[List of Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow characters|Julius Belmont]]'' really wants her to finish up education, graduate and become a vampire hunter along with Gesshi Hanafuuma, but the Squadron really knows that just by her name and her demeanor, she's the first vampire hunter to ever join the team. Her Ride Viper is ''Stavros'', based-off from ''[[Castlevania]]''.

===Bacterians===
====Returning Characters====
*'''L.B. Gofer and R.B. Gofer''' ({{animevoices|[[Sumi Shimamoto]]}}) - the troublemaker Bacterians from the first ''[[Otomedius]]'' game and they return as the mid-boss on stage 2.
*'''Meta Lium''' ({{animevoices|[[Ryo Hirohashi]]}}) - a servant-type Bacterian created by the Gofer Sisters in order to handle less important tasks. She serves them with fierce loyalty and has become one of their most skilled Riding Core pilots, nearly on the level of the Sisters themselves, though she has a smaller psychic presence and lacks the ability to generate biomass. A stoic and determined woman, she has a weakness for cute things and considers the Sisters the most adorable things in the universe. She can sometimes he found acting unprofessionally when she thinks they aren't looking.

====New Characters====
*'''[[Parodius|Neko-Sencho]]''' ({{animevoices|[[Ishige Sawa]]}}) - A space pirate whom the Gofers regularly employ when they want something stolen and don't want to get it themselves for whatever reason. Neko Sencho's loyalty is to money, and slightly to the Gofers for giving her and her Sea Cat pirates the Mirrored Core gunship, which they use as a pirate ship. Most of the deals between the Gofer Sisters and Neko Sencho tend to go "Take what I want and give it to me, everything else is yours".
*'''[[Parodius|T.B. Rika]]''' ({{animevoices|[[Hitomi Harada]]}}) - An infiltrator-type Bacterian created by the Gofer Sisters in order to gather intelligence on the G Organization. She currently works as a teacher at St. Gradius Academy, and is infamous in the school for being extremely strict with her students and yet has that whole atmosphere of a kind person. It's generally felt that she's strict because she wants her students to be successful.
*'''[[Getsu Fūma Den|Ryukotsuki]]''' ({{animevoices|[[Satomi Sato]]}}) - a demon from a distant hell, one of Hanafuuma's most enemies and the previous Last Boss on ''[[Getsu Fūma Den]]''. She was resurrected by the Gofer Sisters so they could employ her power against the G Organization. Her loyalty is maintained through her personal honour and an invoiced bill for the price of resurrecting her. The amount is ludicrous, and intentionally designed to take a long time to pay off. Occasionally, Ryukotsuki attempts to gamble to lower her debt, though it usually goes badly.
*'''[[Tokimeki Memorial|Shiori Fujisaki]]''' ({{animevoices|[[Mami Kingetsu]]}}) - a human girl from St. Gradius Academy who discovered T.B. Rika is an alien. Rather than expose her, though, Shiori became infatuated. An alien nut, she studies Ms. Rika, who in turn misleads her about her alien nature by claiming she's from planet Latis. Shiori has never met the Gofer Sisters in person, though they have spoken in audio-only communication. The Sisters, via Rika, gave Shiori a Core ship to seal her loyalty, and Rika has been teaching her how to use it.
*'''[[Fantastic Parodius|Ruby and Cobalt (Hikaru and Akane)]]''' ({{animevoices|[[Kana Asumi]] and [[Noriko Shitaya]]}}) - an androids created by the Gofer Sisters based on old enemies of the Bacterians, Hikaru and Akane. Unlike Ryukotsuki, the Gofers keep these two bunny girl robots in line by being their creators, resulting in Ruby and Cobalt feeling indebted and thus loyal. However, these two do work several odd jobs to feed their hobbies.
*'''[[Gradius III: From Legend to Myth|Dark Force]]''' ({{animevoices|[[Hisako Kanemoto]]}}) - a Bacterian superweapon created by the Gofer Sisters as part of their campaign against the G Organization and a main antagonist of this game, designed to crush Earth's defenses and obliterate the Organization itself. Though she is just a weapon, the Sisters treat her with great respect and equality, as they recognize she might turn on the Bacterians if she feels unhappy.
*'''[[Konami Wai Wai World|Konami Lady]]''' ({{animevoices|[[Rina Sato]]}}) - a guest character from the crossover series ''[[Konami Wai Wai World]]''. She pilots the Scramble Ship and her attitude turn into troublemaker in St. Gradius Academy that can hear how she doing inside the campus.
*'''[[Goemon (series)|Yae / Emon-8]]''' ({{animevoices|[[Rumi Kasahara]]}}) - a ringleader of ''[[Otomedius|Emon-5]]'' since her partner goes missing in action and that because of the Space-Time Organization G takes place without the male squadron, so she takes revenge for the Angel Squadron to avenge Emon-5.

===Supporting Characters===
*'''Operetta''' ({{animevoices|[[Sumi Shimamoto]]}}) - an effective commander of Angel Squadron, Operetta is a holographic robot girl who coordinates the squadron's activities and dispatches them on their missions.
*'''[[Dr. Venom]]''' ({{animevoices|[[Masaki Aizawa]]}}) - a commander of the Bacterian Fleets that based from ''[[Gradius 2 (MSX)|Gradius 2]] and [[Cosmic Wars]]'' and later he joins the Gradians returning his world of what did happen of Dark Force's Destruction.
*'''[[Detana!! TwinBee|Pastel]]''' ({{animevoices|[[Hekiru Shiina]]}}) - a cameo appearance in Donburi Islands piloting ''[[TwinBee|Winbee]]''. However, Winbee takes a bad bump from running through a metal girder, causing its programming to malfunction and turn on the Angel Squadrons. She pleads with Winbee to stop while it battles with the pilot, but eventually, Winbee reverts to its original programming and flies away with her unharmed.
