Okarun and Momo and Jiji and Aira and Bamora

Appearance: Okarun is a teenager of short height and slender build with brown hair (black hair in the anime), brown eyes and he wears round-frame glasses. Originally, Okarun's hair was fashioned in a bowl cut, but it has since become unruly after his confrontation with the Flatwoods Monster. Though he was initially very skinny, Okarun has gained toned muscles as a result of his dedication to strength training and the numerous battles he faced dealing with spirits and aliens.

While he is one of the few characters that can be seen wearing a variety of outfits, his most common attire is his school uniform, which is a typical gakuran outfit.

Personality Okarun is a self-described socially awkward individual who has a consuming interest for the paranormal with his main focus being the existence of aliens and cryptids. This interest goes all the way back to his childhood where he tried to make contact with aliens in a desperate attempt to make friends, having grown up without a single one in his life due to constant bullying. As a result, Okarun developed an inferiority complex where he believes that he is incapable of fitting in with others or that people are better off not associating with him. Even after making friends with Momo Ayase, Okarun still seems to retain some low self-esteem. After Jiji stepped back into Momo's life, Okarun thought to himself that he could not compete with him when it came to being her friend based on his observation on how entertained Momo was being around him and had almost come close to ending his friendship with her as to not be a bother. According to Momo, Okarun's real problem with making friends was that he was too quick to make assumptions about others judging him, which resulted in him subconsciously keeping others at arm's length.

Okarun is an altruistic person who believes that it is only right to help others when they are in trouble. A noticeable example being how he offered Mr. Mantis Shrimp his kintama for him to sale and earn funds for his son's blood transfusion. As a friend, he is fiercely loyal and protective as he will not allow others to get away with harming those whom he has formed a bond with, such as how he furiously attacked the Evil Eye for harming Momo and taking over Jiji's body.

Before learning that spirits truly walk among the living, Okarun was first skeptical of their existence since he believed that there were logical explanations as to why people would come to the conclusion of this paranormal activity.

Okarun is also formal to a fault as he can never bring himself to address his friends or allies by their first names or nickname without a polite suffix added. The only exception to this is Jiji since the latter will ignore him if he does so. It is because of this characteristic that Momo could tell that Reiko Kashima was impersonating Okarun, due to referring to Jiji as "Jiji-san". The only time he is heedless to formality is when he shifts to his Turbo Granny form.

Background Ever since elementary school, Ken had a hard time fitting in with the crowd and was constantly picked on by others. In an effort to make any friends, he tried contacting aliens, which eventually developed into an obsession.

Athleticism: As a result of the many paranormal obstacles he had to overcome, Okarun boasts great physical fitness that is on par with an athlete. During a physical fitness test, he completed a 50-meter sprint in just 5.8 seconds, surpassing his own expectation of 9 seconds, threw a handball 35 meters, reached 3.6 meters for the standing long jump, managed 80 steps for the sidestep test and completed 120 shuttle runs. Overall, he outperformed the rest of his class and still retained more stamina than them.

Spiritual Awareness [v · e] Okarun is able to clearly see spirits, such as earthbound spirits and yokai. This also makes him one of the rare few who are able to enter Empty Space.

Turbo Granny Form Okarun possessed the spiritual power of Turbo Granny after only the yokai's consciousness was extracted out of his body by Seiko and Momo. Initially, Okarun was only able to enter this mode while still being cursed by Turbo Granny and with help from Momo's psychokinesis powers to suppress the curse from his head, thereby allowing him to control his body. After the yokai's powers were accidentally left inside him, Okarun became able to enter the transformation willingly.

When accessing this power, Okarun's hair flared up and turned white, gained two thick vertical stripes across his eyes, and had a noticeable dark jaw mask with a row of multiple teeth. Underneath his clothing, Okarun's body was given a more muscular definition, while forcing his posture to become hunch-like, and the nails on his hands and toes became sharpened and black. The clothes he chose to wear were also slightly altered to become flame-like. Okarun's mental state also changed in addition to his physical, giving him a depressing personality and a strange tendency to say "yo" at the end of his sentences.

Enhanced Speed

This state offered Okarun the extraordinary speed of Turbo Granny that allowed him to run at an incredible 100 km/hr. Okarun referred to this full speed as going All-Out (本気, Honki?).

Strengths

After assuming the form for the first time, Okarun's body reacted fast enough to move out of the way of the Flatwoods Monster's attack after it had come a few seconds close to crushing him. As the Earthbound Spirit Crab chased him, he was able to cover some ground in Shono City and managed to keep the earthbound spirit from catching him. After Aira took a hit from Bamora, Okarun was able to quickly reach her from a considerable distance away to save her just in time from being struck by another attack. This speed also allowed him to keep up and overwhelm the likes of the Evil Eye, a formidable yokai who had proven himself on multiple occasions to be too difficult of an opponent to fight singlehandedly. In terms of combat rhythm, Turbo Granny proclaimed that her speed should allow Okarun to make five different actions in a single beat.

Weaknesses Okarun was limited to using All-Out for only two sprints, as the intense supernatural speed put too much strain on his human body. Once the limit had been reached, Okarun ended up reverting back to normal and was left barely able to move for a short period of time. However, after further training to adapt to the form, Okarun's body no longer ached after reaching his limit, though this drawback was liable to return if he ran for too long. Okarun was also unable to swim since Turbo Granny did not possess the capabilities to.

Usage

Okarun used this power in combat or to put some distance between himself and his enemies. When engaging foes in close combat, Okarun relied on his speed to make swift physical attacks that gave his opponent no window of opportunity to counter, with his attacks taking the form of a series of squats and headbutts. When partnered with his allies, Okarun could use his speed to quickly jump in and move them out of the way of incoming attacks, or carry them on his back to either catch up with a target on the move or make a necessary escape. After receiving training from Turbo Granny herself to properly harness her power, Okarun managed to improve his combat rhythm. This was shown in his battle against the Music Room Portraits, where he effectively used his enhanced speed and reflexes to evade the tulpas' barrage of explosive musical notes by recalling the rhythm of the hayashi music and defeating them with a succession of five headbutts at once, so fast that he left afterimages. Later, he was capable of dodging the Evil Eye's multiple grudge ball attacks, whereas he had previously struggled to dodge even one in his first fight with the yokai.

Since All-Out came from the boost in leg strength, Okarun was able to launch himself with great force like a missile, which was his preferred method of attack. The charging speed was great enough to have Okarun get through a crowd of possessed citizens and send Acrobatic Silky, a large body yokai, crashing back and left badly injured to stand up for a short amount of time. Most incredibly, Okarun was able to split the giant body of the Serpo Dover Demon Nessie in half.

While running from the Earthbound Spirit Crab, Okarun was also shown capable of using All-Out to keep himself and Momo afloat in the air long enough to land on city ground by having his legs rotate around his body like a helicopter’s rotary wings.

Enhanced Durability Okarun also gained an increase in durability as well, as he was capable of withstanding his own launching attacks and endured attacks from powerful opponents such as the Evil Eye.

Enhanced Bite Force Okarun's mouth mask gave him an immense bite force, as he was able to bite off all five fingers from the Flatwoods Monster's left hand.

Telephone Wire Transportation

Besides the enhanced speed, Okarun was also bestowed Turbo Granny’s ability to transport via entering telephone cables. In order to perform this ability, Okarun had to travel along the telephone wire’s spiral-shaped magnetic field flowing around the current and continue moving using Turbo Granny’s immense speed.

Strengths and Weaknesses

While it took some time to reach a desired place, Okarun was able to instantly teleport to his intended location if he transversed an active telephone line being made by a person from where he wished to go. This ability also helped to accelerate Okarun’s immense speed once he ejected from a telephone wire and continued to move, being so fast that his movements appeared to be akin to lightning rippling through the area.

When traveling via a telephone wire, Okarun found it hard to reach his intended destination when there were multiple telephone lines to travel across. He also could not remain within a telephone wire for long periods of time due to the spiraling magnetic field ejecting him out rather quickly. Okarun’s traverse was also disrupted if his opponent severed the telephone wire he was within, causing him to be ejected out.

Usage

Okarun was able to apply his telephone line transportation ability in battle. By continuing to be on the run after ejecting out of a telephone wire, Okarun’s immense speed became augmented, allowing him to attack his foes in the blink of an eye. During the battle against the Kur, he was able to instantly take down multiple enemies before any one of them could react to his series of collisions. Using an All-Out that had been amplified by this speed, Okarun was able to completely destroy the spatial suit alien with a single collision before he could attack Momo.

Astral Projection

In addition, Okarun could also separate from his body and roam around as an astral projection. However, the use of this power was by accident and had yet to be used intentionally.

Strength and Weaknesses In this form, Okarun gained the ability to fly and was invisible to people who did not possess refined control of their spiritual power. He was limited to staying in this form for an unspecified short amount of time, as the longer he stayed, the thinner the cord linked to his physical body became until it detached. Once detached, he could never return to his body.

Appearance Momo is a teenage girl of average height with medium-length auburn hair that mostly frames the right side of her face and brownish crimson eyes. She is noted by Okarun and a few other male characters to be quite attractive.[1]

While she can be seen wearing a variety of outfits throughout the series, her most common attire is her school uniform: a white undershirt underneath a long sleeved light pink sweater with a loose red bow, a pleated navy blue skirt, baggy white socks, and brown loafers. Her overall attire matches with the kogal style worn by gyarus. She also includes green circular earrings and a black choker around her neck that has a circular green item at the back that matches her earrings, which is an accessory that she sticks to wearing at all times when choosing to wear different outfits.

Personality

Momo's aggressive side. Momo comes off as a bold, confident, and fierce young girl, as there have hardly been instances where she is intimidated by others. She carries a no-nonsense attitude and often loses her temper when angered, mainly when being slighted or having to deal with the shenanigans of her friends and allies. She is prone to lashing out violently in a comedic fashion at the person responsible for invoking her wrath, however, if realizing her outbursts have gone too far, she will show remorse. In addition, she is also susceptible to making insults, as shown by her occasional bickering with Aira.

Momo expressing to Okarun her willingness to look after him when in danger. At the same time, Momo is kind, friendly, and cheerful around others. Her genuine compassion and empathy make her the type of person who cannot ignore misdeeds being committed or turn her back on others who are in an unfortunate predicament, with Okarun being a great example. Although she did not know him at the time, Momo chose to step in and shield Okarun from a few bullies harassing him and was willing to help him be free of the Turbo Granny's curse in light of him not wanting to draw her into his mess. She also saw no reason not to form a friendship with him after the sudden events of their bet. When it comes to family and friends, Momo's fury can be directed towards anyone who offends them, especially if they cause them harm. Upon overhearing how Aira intentionally messed with Okarun's feelings when they first met, Momo retaliated by using her powers to drop a basin on her head, as well as make a snarky remark.[2] Unlike her grandmother, Momo isn't opposed to asking her friends and allies for help. She can also lose her trust in people if they are greatly dishonest with her. Momo can also feel empathy for her enemies if she learns that they have redeeming qualities that is masked behind their wicked actions or if a tragic past led them to what they are.

Hailing from the way she generally carries herself with a bold attitude, Momo is fearless and strong-willed no matter what the odds are in front of her. In the few instances where her enemies had her outnumbered, Momo always showed no hesitation to stand her ground against them, having single-handedly defended herself against the Kito Family as they tried ganging up on her and steeled her resolve to fight the Kur that had passed through the warped gate by herself. Even after being low on power and was too heavily injured to move from her battle against the Imotako Kur, Momo remained unfazed by the Serpos crowding her as she lied on the ground helpless and dared them to try capturing her, as she believed that she had enough fight left in her to unleash a Moe Moe Tri-Beam on them. While this is the case, certain events and people can still frighten and shock her, although these instances have so far been minor.

Momo acknowledges herself as a smart person and has more often proven this to be true when trying to get herself and her friends out of sticky situations by using her deduction skills. Her allies have also vouched for her intelligence, with Okarun and Unji calling Momo out to be a genius. She can be quite proud of any accomplishments she makes. Momo is not above making attempts at manipulation to get what she wants, such as employing cutesy eyes to appear innocent to Okarun in order have him enter the Turbo Granny's tunnel before her as a precaution for any signs of danger ahead and tried to execute the "exploit the financial means of adults" tactic on Seiko through begging in order to have her grandmother buy her, Okarun, and Aira new uniforms. However, these tactics proved to be ineffective due to them being rather simple-minded and used on people who know her well. She is also prone to making hasty decisions if the well-being of her friends is in jeopardy, having intended on jumping into a pit of magma to save Okarun who was trapped down there.

Momo has a deep admiration for the actor Ken Takakura. She is a beloved fan but also obsessed to the point where she only went out with an ex-boyfriend because his appearance resembled the actor's.[3] Merely hearing Ken Takakura's name and famous lines being spoken by someone is enough to have her feel flustered. Upon learning that an alien fanatic student from her school has the same name as her beloved actor, Momo refused to call Ken by his real name and decided on giving him the nickname "Okarun."

Although she takes matters seriously, Momo possesses a sense of humor and has moments of being childish and playful, a trait that is not unlike her grandmother. She plays along with the gaming process of putting Okarun's kintama back in his crotch, with the second game causing her to become too enthusiastic about winning against the Turbo Granny. Occasionally, she is prone to making dramatic expressions on top of her actions.

Much like her grandmother, Momo is susceptible to flattery, as she reacts with a happy expression whenever someone compliments her. Alternatively, she can also feel embarrassed whenever someone points out her good qualities as a person.

As a gyaru, Momo only chooses to wear clothes that she feels comfortable wearing, stating that the type of girl she is views style as combat gear. Before reaching the Turbo Granny's tunnel, Momo chose to change out of Seiko's spirit medium clothes and into her own despite them serving as bulletproof vest against evil spirits.

Background Momo came to live with her grandmother Seiko Ayase when she was young. At some point, she became childhood friends with Jiji and had also developed a crush on him. While out in public, Momo was forced by her grandmother to perform a daily ritual to give her good luck. This unfortunately caused her to be bullied by the boys around her, including from Jiji, much to Momo's displeasure. Having subjected her to this humiliation, Momo blamed her grandmother and doubted her being a Spirit Medium. However, she soon came to realize that what she really disliked about the bullying was that it was mainly directed towards her grandmother than towards her and dismisses the hate she previously had towards her. After coming to truly love her grandmother, as well as her job as a Spirit Medium, Momo came to believe in spirits despite not being sure of herself that they are real or if her grandmother is truly a psychic.

Immense Durability: For a human, Momo has demonstrated an impressive amount of resilience. After the Flatwoods Monster furiously threw a barrage of punches that were devastating enough to create a crater on the wall behind her, Momo only came out with a few minor bruises and was well enough to move about after getting a few minutes rest later on. Momo was also able to come out unscathed from being kicked by Acrobatic Silky that sent her crashing and could remain on her feet after the yokai thrashed her around.[4]

Stamina and Endurance: Aside from having great durability, Momo also possesses an impressive amount of stamina and endurance, being able to remain conscious long enough to defeat the Flatwoods Monster after taking on multiple devastating blows from the alien. She was also able to endure a thrashing from Acrobatic Silky and from being set on fire.

Great Tactical Intellect: Momo possesses high intelligence that has led to a few acknowledging her as a genius. Her intellect is notably demonstrated through her exceptional deductive skills and problem-solving abilities, qualities that make her a capable tactician. In the face of critical paranormal situations, Momo plays a key role in successfully helping her allies overcome these obstacles by using whatever information she can gain at the moment, along with her pre-existing knowledge, to devise ingenious strategies on the spot, which have led to successful outcomes. This was greatly demonstrated during the Daija Town Incident. By setting the Enjoji house on fire to alert the firefighters and have them use their hoses, Momo cleverly drove the Tsuchinoko from its subterranean hideout as the deluge of water expelled the cryptid from suffocation and succeeded in killing it from sunlight exposure. This strategy derived from her understanding of "worm suicide", a concept she learned from Jiji during their childhood. Following this, Momo deciphered the true meaning of the Great Serpent legend, a narrative that had been misunderstood for centuries, and swiftly took action in stopping the eruption of Daija Town's volcano by utilizing the Tsuchinoko's carcass as a conduit, connecting it to a geyser of hot spring water, causing the creature's phlegm to be expelled from its mouth and onto the lava to cool it.

Although Momo's tactics for defeating her opponents are clever, they are also reckless, often endangering her life to a great extent. Needing to avoid having Okarun suffer the effects of the talisman before putting it back on the torii gate to defeat the Flatwoods Monster, Momo chose to endure being battered into the wall embedded in the gate by the alien until a crater large enough for her and Okarun was formed to be on the outside, all while trying to suppress his curse. Another instance was her battle against the Hastur Kur, where she deliberately leaped into the alien's spatial carving to enter its pocket dimension and use her dimensional transcending psychokinesis to destroy the exosuit from the inside with her Moe Moe Tri-Beam.

Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Momo has demonstrated to be a capable fighter in melee combat, as she was able to hold her own against the Kito Family. During that fight, she also showed use of applying her psychic powers by drawing her opponent to her punches and kicks, as well as draw objects to her opponent's blind spot.[5]

Spiritual Awareness [v · e] Momo is capable of seeing spirits, such as earthbound spirits and yokai. This also makes her one of the rare few who are able to enter Empty Space.

Ki Momo has the ability to tap into her ki, allowing her access to her spiritual power.

Aura Detection

Momo's spiritual power grants her the ability to see and sense the auras of living and non-things around her.

Psychokinesis

Along with the power to sense auras, Momo's spiritual power also grants her the ability to exert her influence over them to control the movements of living and non-things. Her psychokinesis manifests as two large hands, or a single link when merged, which are extendable and can latch onto the type of aura she perceives, allowing her to manipulate the target freely with her actual hands.

Strengths

The major strength of this ability is that Momo can move and levitate living and non-living things regardless of how heavy or big they are, such as a fire truck or the Tsuchinoko. Since her psychokinesis applies to both hands, Momo is able to grab ahold of two targets. Momo's psychokinesis is strong enough to divide a large body of water and block off other psychic users, as she was able to push back the Serpo's psychic field that was preventing Okarun and Aira from using their yokai powers.

Momo's psychic powers also possesses the unique ability to peer into the memories of her target. However, the times she has used this ability were purely by accident and has not been shown having conscious use of this power. The first time was during the transference of Acrobatic Silky's aura into Aira where she saw into Acrobatic Silky's tragic past during her lifetime. The second was when she caught a glimpse of the Evil Eye's past while restraining Jiji during the yokai's exorcism.

Full Power

Upon awakening her ki following her abduction by the Serpos, Momo was able to use her psychokinetic powers to its fullest potential. In this empowered state, she radiates a glow matching that of her psychic hands, and her hair grows longer. She also describes herself as feeling invincible and capable of transforming her very thoughts into reality.[6]

As demonstrated, Momo's full power allowed her to levitate and gain an increase in strength, with one kick powerful enough to propel a Serpo back into their ship, resulting in significant damage.

This full power has since been sealed away, thus limiting Momo's psychokinetic capabilities. However, Seiko believes that with adequate training, she can progressively unlock it.

Weaknesses Initially, Momo could only grab on to auras if she could see them in plain sight but has since improved ever since her confrontation with the Turbo Granny, now being capable of taking a hold of auras by using her sense of touch even if they are concealed from her field of vision.

Since Momo's power is an extension of her hands, they reflect her grip strength. While she requires no effort to control large targets if they are immobile or willing, Momo cannot stop them from resisting and may have trouble holding them down. If her target manages to regain mobility through sheer force but has not broken the hold, Momo will end up being pulled by their movement as long as she keeps her power active. This also applies to targets that are already moving at a great velocity, such as a bullet train. Momo, however, used this to her advantage against the Turbo Granny to escape from her.

Additionally, Momo's psychokinesis is also linked to her sense of touch, meaning that her hands are susceptible to the sensation of strain and pain. Resilient though they may be, Momo's psychic arms can be destroyed if an opponent is strong enough to break free from them through sheer brute strength, or if the psychic arms are struck with a strong attack. As a result, Momo will feel an immense pain in her hands that will render her unable to manifest her powers for an unspecified period of time.

While she is still able to use her powers even if her hands are bound, Momo finds it difficult to use them effectively.[7]

Usage

Momo uses her powers for combat. Using her psychokinesis, Momo can choose to hurl her targets to be sent crashing, restrain her opponents to leave them vulnerable for her comrades to attack, or carry her targets while on the move by having them levitate over her head. Momo is also capable of applying her powers in close-quarters combat. As shown in her fight against the Kito Family, she can pull her enemies towards her punches and kicks and send objects flying their way around their blind spots. During her first confrontation with Reiko Kashima, Momo covered the entirety of her psychic arms with levitated rubble as if they were physical arms that she could use to inflict damage to the yokai with tangible punches (though this strategy of fighting quickly proved to be a failure as Reiko Kashima easily swiped the rubble away in a fit of rage before Momo could land a single attack).[8]

Defensively, if anticipated on time, Momo can use her psychic powers to shield herself from incoming attacks by placing her psychic hands between herself and the attack, though this will not prevent her from being sent crashing backwards depending on the force of the attack. Her power can also push her enemies away if they are too dangerously close to harm her.

During her battle with a mind-control alien, Momo learned how to use her psychokinesis offensively. Remembering Seiko's past lesson on how to use the Power of Words, Momo managed to develop the ability to unleash a repulsion blast of devastating force with her hands, similar to the way the Serpo attack with psychokinesis, with one shot being capable of knocking back multiple mind-control Serpos and obliterating the mind-control alien she was fighting.

Throughout the series, Momo has been able to use her powers in a variety of ways:

After Okarun was cursed by the Turbo Granny, Momo used her psychic abilities to prevent him from going berserk by "squeezing" onto the curse aura until it became small. By using her psychic hands to grab on to a person's heart if they are in cardiac arrest, Momo can perform an actual cardiac massage to restore blood circulation. If someone has swallowed too much water after drowning, Momo can forcibly release the water out from their mouths.[9] As instructed by Acrobatic Silky, Momo used her powers to link the yokai's aura with Aira's diminishing aura for a transfer, acting as a "communication cable" that is needed to restart the "battery". To easily move around the flooded Empty Space in her confrontation with the Serpo and Mr. Mantis Shrimp, Momo developed the idea of using her powers on Okarun to turn him into a living speedboat by constantly squeezing him forward. She can keep herself afloat by grabbing onto buildings and proceed to swing herself around to land to an intended spot.

Techniques Moe Moe Tri-Beam (モエモエ気功砲, Moe Moe Kikōhō?)

A Power of Words enhanced version of Momo's psychic blast where after she forms a heart-shape with her hands she shouts out "Moe Moe Tri-Beam!", the omajinai of Moe Moe Kikoho, and fires off a blast with increased attack power. This attack was first used to defeat an alien globalist shortly after Momo figured out how to project the psychic blast on an army of mind-controlled Serpos that were charging at her. The name and hand formation to perform this technique highly resembles the Tri-Beam from the Dragon Ball series.

Collaboration Techniques Moe Moe Tri-Beam (モエモエ気功砲, Moe Moe Kikōhō?)

A combination of Momo's Moe Moe Tri-Beam and Jiji's Ha Wave that projects a powerful wave of energy. This compensates for the Moe Moe Tri-Beam's short range and the Ha Wave's lack of power.

Power of Words (言霊, Kotodama?) An ability that allows Momo to make things that are normally impossible become reality through speech. During her childhood, Momo received a training lesson from Seiko to use this ability but never managed to succeed. It wasn't until her encounter with a mind-control alien that she managed to awaken this ability and apply it to her psychokinesis to increase its attack power.

Bats [v · e]

To combat against the Turbo-Granny at the tunnel in Shono City, Momo brought along four bats that she used in conjunction with her psychic powers to attack one of the Turbo-Granny's large replica heads that she created on both sides of the tunnel to trap her and Okarun. However, the attack proved to be futile as the head destroyed the bats with its mouth and eyes.

Great Kinta Bodhisattva, Zeta Version (グレートキンタ菩薩ゼータバージョン, Gurēto Kinta Bosatsu Zēta Bājon?)

Momo previously took control of the Great Kinta Bodhisattva, Zeta Version created by Kinta to combat against Bamora's kaiju suit. Irritated by Kinta's piloting that caused her and Aira to experience motion sickness, Momo and Aira took control of the mecha by applying their powers. While the mecha was wrecked by the kaiju, Aira applied her long Acrobatic Silky hair powers to the head while Momo used her psychokinesis to take control of the separated forearms from the shoulders.

The combined powers of Momo and Aira became large in scale when applied to the mecha. With Momo's psychokinesis controlling the hands, the mecha gains a greater reach to attack its enemies. With Aira's Acrobatic Silky hair, the mecha could restrain its enemies by wrapping the hair around them, which was used to give a clear form of the kaiju after it used invisibility.

Techniques Powerbomb (パワーボム, Pawābomu?)

After Aira uses her Acrobatic Silky hair to wrap the kaiju, Momo controls the mecha's detached arms to grab the kaiju and lift it high up into the air while twisting the two psychic lines. She then untwists the lines to spin the kaiju rapidly, causing it to become dizzy as she intended, and brings it down to smash the creature headfirst onto the ground in a powerbomb maneuver. The attack was devastating enough to create a giant crater within the Empty Space Kamigoe City on impact and finish off Bamora to have the kaiju shrink down to regular size.

Appearance: Aira is a young woman with short light pink hair that mostly frames the left side of her face and dark-pink eyes. She is recognized as being very attractive by the boys at her school, which she is aware of and greatly takes great pride in.

Her common attire is her school uniform; a dark buttoned up blazer with her school emblem located around the left breast, a collared shirt, a bow, a dark short skirt, long socks and sandals. She also wears a long sleeve sweater that varies underneath her blazer.

Personality

Aira hiding behind her sweet school girl persona. Initially, Aira reveled in her social status as the popular girl at Kami High and strove to maintain her reputation. Outwardly, she appeared sweet, innocent, and somewhat air headed. However, internally, she was vain, arrogant, and insensitive. Her beauty became a tool for teasing her male classmates, and she looked down upon them for being easily charmed by her facade. She was also not above committing acts of cruelty when provoked by others, having anonymously spread a nasty rumor about Momo after the latter used her powers to drop a tub on her head as a form of retaliation for making fun of Okarun.

Aira trying to exorcise Momo. Upon discovering Okarun's kintama, Aira developed a grandiose belief that her newfound ability to see spirits, triggered by the golden ball, was a divine sign that she was the chosen one, destined to protect the world from evil. This belief was compounded by her vanity, as she considered her beauty to be a key reason for her selection. She labeled Momo as a demon and an adversary after witnessing the manifestation of her psychic abilities, which she referred to as "demon wings". It was then on that Aira made it her mission to defeat Momo. This side of Aira soon faded by the time the Evil Eye became housed within Jiji.

It was then on that Aira made it her mission to defeat Momo. This side of Aira soon faded by the time the Evil Eye became housed within Jiji.

Despite her self-importance and ruthlessness, Aira is not without a guilty conscience. Overcome with guilt for initiating the unpleasant rumor about Momo after her classmates assumed, based off her false story, that the latter was to blame for Aira's humiliation of being exposed in her underwear at school, Aira confessed to her deplorable actions, absolving Momo's name at the expense of her own popularity. She also sincerely apologized to Momo for endangering her with the Evil Eye after accidently splashing her cold beverage on Jiji. Memory of this incident even drove her to continue fighting against the giants summoned by the Music Room Portraits.

Aira helps Acrobatic Silky achieve Nirvana. She is also capable of experiencing empathy and demonstrating compassion towards others. Despite nearly dying from being swallowed by Acrobatic Silky, Aira felt sorry for the yokai upon learning from Turbo Granny that she would be forgotten by both the living and the dead once her body crumbled away into nothingness without her aura and ensured she achieved Nirvana by embracing her and acknowledging her as her mother. Along with this, she vowed to always remember her and expressed a heartfelt wish for Acrobatic Silky and her child to find peace together in the next life. Upon witnessing Bamora's memories and comprehending the anguish endured by the alien girl at the hands of the Kur, Aira was moved to tears and pledged to vanquish the exosuit aliens in Bamora's honor.

After losing her popularity at school, Aira ceased the facade she put on for others. Once she integrated into the social circle formed by Momo and Okarun, she is much more open with her true self, which is marked by pride, sternness, and a tendency to be dismissive. As such, she asserts her position as the de facto leader of the gang and expresses a strong aversion to being left out of their endeavors or whenever someone else takes the lead in their battles. Due to this self-imposed leadership role, she also hosts the most distrust of outsiders to the Family, often barking that new members had to be approved by her first before they could join. She also does not hesitate to speak bluntly when she needs to make her point, such as when she expressed how unfair it was for her, Momo, Okarun, and Seiko to keep monitoring Jiji after he decides to spare the Evil Eye from exorcism. She was also very strict with Momo, Jiji, and Mr. Mantis Shrimp for their poor training performance. Aside from this, Aira cares for them as not only her comrades in arms but as her friends she has grown close to.

Despite her serious disposition, Aira has moments where she can be mischievous and playful. She thought about dropping by Moe Moe Kikoho to tease Momo after learning from Jiji that she works as a maid and poked fun of Momo and Jiji for sleeping close together. She also has a soft spot for things she finds cute. Though she disapproved of Mr. Mantis Shrimp returning to Kamigoe City to become a resident, she immediately changed her mind after meeting Chiquitita, finding him adorable to hug and play with. Enamored by Momo's tiny size, Aira felt the urge to play with her as a doll.

Touched by Okarun's altruistic nature, which had prompted him to come to her aid during her confrontation with Acrobatic Silky, Aira developed a crush on him that she does not hide. Her demeanor with Okarun is noticeably kinder and warmer compared to her interactions with other classmates, and she often finds herself blushing and enchanted by his presence whenever he is near. Aira is prepared to offer her help to Okarun in any manner possible, holding the belief that a girl who supports his virtuous character is deserving of being his companion. She is also shown to be susceptible to jealousy, as she and Momo tried moving Bamora away from Okarun after she approached him too close, while also reprimanding her for addressing him casually. Aira acknowledges her ignorance on how to deal with her romantic feelings, having never felt such emotions for anyone prior to Okarun. In an effort to find clarity, she consulted her father's "books", which ultimately prompted her to make an impulsive attempt to kiss Okarun.

Aira is also modest, as she has moments of being cautious about her skirt accidently flashing her underwear when fighting. Additionally, she dislikes having her clothes ruined in battle, especially her school uniform.

Background Around the time she was a little girl, Aira had ran into a strange woman in red on the streets and had mistaken her for her deceased mother. Realizing her mistake, Aira returned to walking with her father, but became unaware that the mysterious woman started to follow her throughout her life.[1]

During her childhood, Aira learned how to play the piano and competed against children her age. After losing against a girl named Kouki Yukishiro, Aira became dedicated to improving her skills until she managed to beat her. However, she soon quit playing right after, having found it tedious.[2]

Spiritual Awareness [v · e] Aira was able to see spirits when she was a child but had lost the ability at some point. Her awareness soon reawakened after coming into contact with one of Okarun's kintama.

Acrobatic Silky Form After being transferred Acrobatic Silky's aura, Aira subsequently inherited the yokai's powers as a result. When choosing to access Acrobatic Silky's powers, Aira enters a form where her hair increases in volume and gains a mask that resembles the yokai's face; covering all the way down to her neck while leaving her left eye exposed.

By Aira's account, Acrobatic Silky's personality also ends up influencing her, as she explained to Okarun that she inadvertently starts to become foul mouthed to those who show her disrespect (though this could have very well been an excuse to prevent having Okarun look at her differently).

Enhanced Speed and Agility

This state grants Aira Acrobatic Silky's extraordinary agility and swiftness to perform graceful acrobatic maneuvers, thus granting her a body that allows balance, flexibility, dexterity, and bodily coordination.

Strengths and Weaknesses Aira's enhanced body to use Acrobatic Silky's acrobatics allows her to run along walls and execute flips, making her a challenging target to hit. This prowess was evident when she effortlessly evaded all of Mr. Mantis Shrimp's powerful punches and swiftly dodged a Serpo's invisible psychokinetic attack (though only after being hit by it once). In the confrontation with the Music Room Portraits, Aira dodged every explosive musical note, despite the reduced traction on the illusory terrain created by the tulpas. According to Turbo Granny's rhythm analysis, Aira's speed enables her to perform four distinct actions within a single beat, a feat comparable to that of the Evil Eye's speed.

A major weakness is Aira's acrobatic movement being hindered, as she was left vulnerable to Mr. Mantis Shrimp's punches after the Serpo used their psychokinesis to bind her. After being casted into an illusionary paddy field by the Music Room Portraits, Aira could not run or evade attacks effectively as she wanted to due to the terrain causing her feet to sink. Aira's opponents can also make it hard for her to find an opening to counterattack if they have her become too occupied with dodging a barrage of incoming attacks. Attacks that are not made visible to the naked eye prove to be difficult for Aira to evade unless anticipated on time from small hints (such as the name of the attack being called out) or if she is aided by an ally who can see the attack to quickly move her out of the way. Additionally, she cannot evade large-scale attacks from giant opponents.

Enhanced Lower Leg Strength

Along with incredible speed and reflexes, Acrobatic Silky's power bestows above average physical leg strength to Aira's human body, thus granting her the close quarters combat capabilities to fight against powerful enemies by executing powerful kicks. With a single kick, she was capable of sending Mr. Mantis Shrimp up towards a ceiling.

Enhanced Endurance and Durability Moreover, Aira has displayed immense levels of physical endurance and durability, as she had recovered shortly after taking a devastating blow from Mr. Mantis Shrimp. In addition, she was able to endure taking on direct attacks from the Serpo Dover Demon Nessie whose large size made Mr. Mantis Shrimp's punches much more powerful. During her confrontation with the Music Room Portraits, Aira was able to remain conscious after taking damage from two giants created by the tulpas and was still on her feet by the time she took them down. Most impressively, Aira remained conscious and did not take heavy damage from a direct attack from the enlarged Sumerian God Exosuit.

Acrobatics

Along with the increase in physical ability, the most prominent power Aira is granted is Acrobatic Silky's special ability to elongate her hair to great lengths, with which she can freely manipulate to perform tasks.

Strengths and Weaknesses

The hair is very strong and prehensile, as it can lift people or heavy objects, such as cars, and bind targets. What range limit, if any, there may be for her elongated hair is not known.

While strong enough to pick up heavy objects, the resilience of Aira's hair does not change from how it normally is in her base form, thus causing it to be suspectable to damage, such as it being caught on fire. Aira's hair may also be hindered from reaching her intended target if it is hit by an incoming attack.

Usage

Aira uses Acrobatics for combat. While relying on her enhanced leg strength to execute strong kicks that are coupled with her acrobatic movement, Aira uses the malleability of her hair to reinforce this fighting style and to grab her enemies. Once entangled by her hair, Aira can choose to pull her opponents towards her to close the distance and attack or pull herself towards them to build up enough force behind her kicks. Other purposes include restraining or blinding her enemies, hurling objects at them, or to cover ground by latching onto large constructs and swinging herself to a desire location. All these capabilities make Aira out to be a formidable hand-to-hand combatant.

If choosing to retreat after being at a disadvantage, Aira uses her hair as a diversion by covering herself and her surrounding area, concealing her plan to escape and leave the battlefield unnoticed, along with any nearby allies.

After being informed about the Power of Words and Spiral Power from Momo and Okarun, Aira began utilizing these two abilities in conjunction with her yokai powers to improve her offense. Using Spiral Power, Aira shapes her hair into drills around her legs to pierce through her opponents and penetrate tough material, such as suits of armor. The hair drill legs also help to give her further reach. With the Power of Words, Aira is able to execute even stronger attacks with her hair manipulation.

For defensive means, Aira can form a protective dome by wrapping her hair around herself, which can reform if taken damage by a destructive attack.

Techniques Pirouette Noble Drill (ピルエットおドリル, Piruetto O-Doriru?)

Using Spiral Power, Aira has her elongated hair wrap around herself to form a full body size drill and launches herself towards her opponent to pierce straight through them. While drilling, Aira uses the Power of Words by shouting out the technique's name in order to increase its attack power. It was first used against the missile suit alien, which proved to be strong enough to drill straight through the hardness of the alien's armored suit.

Power of Words (言霊, Kotodama?) Aira is able to use the Power of Words to enhance her special attacks when using Acrobatic Silky's power in combat.

Spiral Power (螺旋力, Rasen Chikara?) Aira is capable of using Spiral Power, as shown when shaping her elongated hair into drills.

Appearance Jiji is a very tall and muscular young man, being even taller than his parents with short auburn hair with bangs that fall down to his eyebrows with only the center of his forehead left exposed and brown eyes. He is recognized by the girls at his school to be quite handsome.

When he was first introduced, Jiji wore a tracksuit with an undershirt.

When at school, Jiji wears a collared shirt with a tie, jeans with a belt and the school's blazer. He also wears dark hoop earrings.

Personality Jiji comes off as being a very hyper-active young man who likes to express himself with dramatic movement and faces. He also has a habit of usually ending his sentences with strange verbal tics such as "Fuuuu" (フゥ, "Fuuuu"? Viz: Woo) or "Fuuuuwaaaatsu" (フゥワッ, "Fuuuuwaaaatsu"? Viz: Woo-Hoo-Hoo).

To some girls, Jiji is viewed as being funny and charming, which is accompanied by his handsome good looks. On the other hand, others might find him to be annoying. In Seiko Ayase's opinion, Jiji's quirky personality makes him come off as being moronic as she would sarcastically comment on him being a "genius".

Jiji has also been noted to give off a "playboy" vibe. After making his introduction to Momo Ayase's classmates, Jiji immediately asked for a female classmate's cellphone number with enthusiasm after finding her to be cute with just a single glance and acted flirtatious around Momo's friends.

Aside from this, he has proven himself to be good-natured. Upon reuniting with Momo after the two lost touch with each other since they were little, Jiji sincerely apologized for mocking her in the past and jumped in to protect her from an alive anatomical model that was charging towards her.

Background During his childhood, Jiji used to be friends with Momo Ayase and unknowingly her first crush. However, after Momo started to follow her grandmother Seiko Ayase's instruction in performing a ritual, Jiji rudely mocked her and eventually lost touch with her after he and his parents moved up to the mountains.

At some point, Jiji started to notice strange things happening around his house, but decided to ignore them after his parents failed to take his word for it. However, Jiji is soon confronted by a spirit in his house and found himself seeing it everywhere he went, including in his dreams, resulting in him being sleep-deprived. This encounter then leads to Jiji's parents being hospitalized after coming down with a sickness.

Having no choice, the family decided upon hiring well-known spirit mediums to perform an exorcism but are met with failure after three of the five mediums ultimately committed suicide. After being told from them that hiring Seiko would be a last resort, Jiji contacted her about his situation and became permitted to move into her house until his problem is solved.

Spiritual Awareness [v · e] Jiji possesses the ability to see spirits after encountering the Evil Eye in his previous house.

Ki Jiji possesses incredible reserves of ki that has his spiritual power valued as being extremely rare and desirable for evil spirits to have. Since his training with Seiko, Jiji is able to use his ki to suppress the Evil Eye sealed within him if he comes into contact with anything cold, though he noted that doing so requires him to exert all of his strength, which causes him to become exhausted afterwards.

Techniques Ha Wave (波ーツ, Ha-tsu?)

Jiji has the spiritual power to let his ki flow out to emit an invisible burst capable of knocking back anything in his path. He does this by first concentrating on channeling his ki to his hands and then thrusting them forward while cupped. The only main strength of the Ha Wave is that the force of the attack is capable of knocking back Jiji's intended target and having him attack from short to long range. As pointed out by Aira, the Ha Wave lacks the attack power to do any major damage to Jiji's opponent.

Evil Gun (邪銃, Jagan?)

A Power of Words enhanced version of the Ha Wave where Jiji utters the words "Evil Gun" to give an increase to its attack power, resulting in a powerful beam of energy being shoot out from the thrust of his hands. It was first used to attack one of the space globalists that was restraining Aira, successfully freeing her.

Power of Words (言霊, Kotodama?) After learning from Momo that attacks can be amplified using words, Jiji incorporated this effect into his spiritual power, allowing him to increase the attack power that he was initially lacking.

Appearance As a Sumerian, Bamora's physical appearance indistinguishably matches with that of a young female Earthling, as her body is completely humanoid with a slender build and has short, blonde hair. The only unique characteristics that sets her apart are her antennas attached to the top of her head and her green eyes that have star shape corneal reflections. She is greatly recognized as being very pretty by the boys around her.

Bamora wears a form-fitting white and black body suit that only exposes her shoulders and thighs but keeps this attire concealed while wearing her kaiju suit.

After Seiko decided to have her attend Kami High as an exchange student, Bamora used her kaiju suit to replica Momo's school uniform, with the only difference being the kaiju head left unaltered as a hoody or helmet of sorts. Currently, instead of Momo's sweater, she now switches to wearing the school blazer but has it customized with a hoody resembling the head of her kaiju suit.

Personality Bamora is a friendly, innocent, kindhearted and compassionate young girl. Feeling sympathetic for her people as they were reduced to nothing but nourishment for the Kur's Big Mamas to create exosuits, Bamora chose to rush in and help the male Sumerians escape from their fates instead of prioritizing on her own safety to leave Sumer as Banga, Tome, and Aja instructed her to do. She is also very brave, as she chose to join Momo and her friends in stopping the Kur from invading Earth in light of her fear of them.

Following her adoptive mother's request to find a worthy husband to continue the Sumerian bloodline, Bamora was on the lookout for a strong male companion who could defeat her in battle. Her attempts could be perceived as being a bit rash, as the moment she arrived on Earth she instinctively attacked anyone she encountered to determine whether they were either weak or strong. While Okarun is the one she chose, Bamora can still acknowledge others who are strong, such as Kinta who started off gaining the upper hand in his battle against the Spatial Carving Kur. While wanting to honor her mother's wishes, Bamora is clueless about the concept of love and romance between a man and a woman, due to the fact that she has only been around females while growing up, and only has Banga's words about marriage to go off of. After feeling flustered from once observing a couple kissing, Bamora realizes that there is more to it than a male companion being strong.

Bamora is shown to have a love for Earth food, usually scarfing down on whatever she is served. Her favorite food in particular is takoyaki, which she had a tendency of saying while foreign to the Japanese language.

Background

Bamora rescued by Banga. Bamora was rescued as child by Banga after the alien terrorist army known as the Kur commenced an attack on Sumer and was deemed as the only surviving Sumerian child to make it out of the invasion. She was then taken care of by Banga as the woman fought alongside the other female Sumerians as the invasion continued on and came to acknowledge her as her mother in light of Banga's refusal to be viewed as such.

By the time she reached her adolescence, Bamora, Banga, and two of their colleagues (Tome and Aja) became the only survivors of the resistance after the group was annihilated by the Kur's ambush attack. Bamora began to lose hope in staying alive as the four of them are forced into hiding in a cave and asks for Banga to end her life using her rifle, wanting her to be the one to kill her instead of their enemies. Banga also starts to fall into despair until she remembers the Sumerian pyramid, a structure used to travel to their second homeland Idea (Earth) that she figures could help get them off the planet.

Going along with this plan, Bamora and the others fought through the invading army until they had reached the pyramid, which became a spot for holding the male Sumerians prisoners. Wanting to help free them, Bamora made the choice to sneak in amongst the line-up and unlock one of the male Sumerians restraints, resulting in a riot ensuing as the Kur shoot down the male Sumerians trying to make their escape. After Banga acquired an exosuit resembling the god of Sumer and persuaded the male Sumerians into fighting alongside her, Bamora and her mother managed to make it to the pyramid together and activated the gate to the next planet. However, due to the gate only having enough power to transport one person, Bamora was forced by Banga to enter the gate alone and was given her exosuit to take along with her, much to Bamora's distress as she calls out to her mother from the other side. Before being teleported, Bamora was requested by Banga to find a strong man to marry on the next planet to continue the Sumerian bloodline and hears her mother expressing how much she loves her throughout the time they spent together.

Bamora [v · e]

Bamora goes into combat using an exosuit that was given to her by her adoptive mother Banga before the two became separated.

The exosuit's design greatly resembles the god of Sumer, which is depicted as being a kaiju. The exosuit has a spring body, with the only exception being its four-fingered claw hands, three-toed feet, and thighs. Its head has a dark line running down to each of its eyes and is followed up with two dark lines running down to its jaw. Previously, the kaiju had three horns, two on its head and one on its nose, but was left with only the nose horn after the exosuit took heavy damage in battle against the Great Kinta Bodhisattva, Zeta Version piloted by Kinta. The mouth of the kaiju can be opened to allow the wearer to stick their head out and roam around.

Capabilities Heads-Up Display

The Bamora features a heads-up display for analyzing the environment.

Heart-Pounding Hidden Mode

The Bamora has the ability to enter the Empty Space through this function.

Enhanced Strength

The Bamora provides the wielder with incredible strength, as a single punch delivered from them is shown to have enough force behind it to knock back a bear a good distance away. The enhanced strength is also capable enough to overwhelm humans who possess yokai powers that has their bodies become superhuman.

Enhanced Durability The Bamora has proven to be very durable when hit with attacks that possess a great deal of power behind them. Even though it was hit with a charging attack from Okarun at full force and dealt with serious attacks from Kinta, Momo, and Aira while piloting the Great Kinta Bodhisattva, including a destructive powerbomb that caused a giant crater to form, the Bamora showed no signs of any major damage other than its horn being destroyed and continued to function properly after the battle. It is also worth noting that Bamora showed no signs of injury after ejecting out of the exosuit. The Kur that once piloted a Spatial Carving Exosuit also pointed out that the Bamora's durability is what makes it an incredible exosuit to wield, having praised it for not taking any damage from the Tokyo Tower that was being used as a weapon by Kinta piloting his mecha.

Tail

The wearer of the Bamora can choose to make use of its tail in combat.

Transparency (透明, Tōmei?)

The Bamora has the ability to blend in with its environment, rendering itself invisible to the naked eye. As elaborated by Kinta, the invisibility follows the same principles as in science fiction where the Bamora is electro-luminescent and is using retro-reflective projection on the image a person would see in front of them.

Size Enhancement

The Bamora is able to increase in size and mass. The size of the Bamora varies depending on how big the wearer wishes the exosuit to be, with the maximum size being 45 meters, a gigantic size that overshadows the buildings of Kamigoe City.

Clothing Replication

The Bamora is able to replicate the attire of anything the wearer wishes to change into. This is done when the wearer has the core within the Bamora's nose horn scan the person's attire, which will then morph the Bamora to match the clothing and material exactly.

Emergency Defense System (緊急防衛システム, Kinkyū Bōei Shisutemu?) The Bamora has an emergency defense system that is programmed to fight on the wearer's behalf. It is unknown how the wearer can activate and deactivate this function voluntarily, as the emergency defense system was accidently set off after Okarun charged at it with full force, resulting in Bamora losing control and having no idea how to regain it until it was forcibly shut down by Momo and Aira performing a powerbomb while piloting the Great Kinta Bodhisattva.

Slaughter Mode (大虐殺モード, Dai Gyakusatsu Mōdo?)

The Bamora features a second form called Slaughter Mode that drastically changes its appearance, becoming bestial and ferocious looking while gigantic in size.

Usage As with all exosuits, Bamora uses hers for the main purpose of engaging in combat. With her fighting style being hand-to-hand combat, Bamora is able to utilize the enhanced physical prowess that the exosuit offers to deliver strong melee blows. This also includes using the exosuit's tail as an effective attack by slamming it at her opponents like a whip. If facing an opponent who is strong and/or large in stature, Bamora uses the exosuit's size enhancement to match their height and give an increase to her physical strength.

Using the exosuit's invisibility, Bamora can perform sneak attacks on her enemies or to retreat undetected. With the exosuit being able to fit more than one person, Bamora can help mask the presence of her allies by having them join her inside, though so far it is only known to be able to fit at least two people. This was showcased when Bamora hid Momo from Reiko Kashima as she shouted out the word "pomade" to have the yokai vanish. Bamora also has shown using the exosuit's invisibility to spy on others, as she observed a couple making out up close to understand the concept of marriage.

Outside of battle, Bamora uses the exosuit's clothing replication to dress as a student at Momo's high school.
