Protagonists

Gridman

Voiced by: Hikaru Midorikawa (Japanese); Robert McCollum (English)

Gridman (グリッドマン, Guriddoman) is a Hyper Agent (ハイパーエージェント, Haipā Ējento) of the alternate dimension Hyper World (ハイパーワールド, Haipā Wārudo) who attempted to save Akane Shinjō when Alexis Kerib brought her to a replica of Tsutsujidai City. But Gridman is defeated by Alexis Kerib and fragmented across Tsutsujidai with one piece of him inhabiting the body of Yūta Hibiki with his memories sealed in the process while his subconscious resides in the pawnshop's PC Junk. The subconscious reminds Yūta of his mission, explaining they need to merge in order for Gridman to battle the Kaiju attacking the city. While Yūta and the Neon Genesis Junior High Students were the only ones that could interact with Gridman, Rikka and Utsumi are able to perceive him after witnessing his first fight and Calibur upgrading Junk.

Because of his fragmented state, Gridman was forced to wear limiter armor that initially in his purple-colored Initial Fighter (イニシャルファイター, Inisharu Faitā) before it is optimized into the reddened Primal Fighter (プライマルファイター, Puraimaru Faitā) by Junk's upgrade. His finisher is Grid Beam (グリッドビーム, Guriddo Bīmu), an attack fired from his Accepter on the left hand. As the Neon Genesis Junior High are embodiments of the other fragments of his being, Gridman can use their Assist Weapons form for additional strength in combat.

• Heracles Combine Max Gridman (剛力合体超人 マックスグリッドマン, Gōriki Gattai Chōjin Makkusu Guriddoman): A formation with Battle Tracto Max forms a pair of gigantic forearms and increases his brute strength. His finishers are Max Grid Beam (マックスグリッドビーム, Makkusu Guriddo Bīmu) and Super Lightning Kick (超電撃キック, Chō Dengeki Kikku).
• Full Armor Combine Buster Gridman (武装合体超人 バスターグリッドマン, Busō Gattai Chōjin Basutā Guriddoman): A formation with Buster Borr, granting him a chest armor and a set of ranged weapons from his caterpillar threads and Twin Drills in Buster Mode (バスターモード, Basutā Mōdo). His finisher is Twin Buster Grid Beam (ツインバスターグリッドビーム, Tsuin Basutā Guriddo Bīmu).
• Empyrean Combine Sky Gridman (大空合体超人 スカイグリッドマン, Ōzora Gattai Chōjin Sukai Guriddoman): A formation which occurs when Sky Vitter forms as Gridman's helmet, waist and leg armor. In this form, Gridman gains superiority in high-altitude combat and disorient his opponents with Lucky Smokescreen (ラッキースモークスクリーン, Rakkī Sumōkusukurīn).
• Hyperlink Combine Full Powered Gridman (超合体超人 フルパワーグリッドマン, Chō Gattai Chōjin Furu Pawā Guriddoman): Gridman's ultimate formation attained by combining with the four Assist Weapons at the same time. In this case, both Gridman and the Assist Weapons are deployed in half their usual size to conserve energy, forming a full-sized robot once combined. In this form, Gridman has all the abilities and techniques from his other formations at his disposal. His finisher is the Grid Full Power Finish (グリッドフルパワーフィニッシュ, Guriddo Furu Pawā Finisshu).

After the Neon Genesis Students restore the fragments to Gridman, he regained his original form and powers while defeating Alexis. During the events of Gridman Universe, revealed to have created adult clones of Anti and 2nd to aid the Gauma Team during the events of SSSS Dynazenon, Gridman gains the ability to transform into his white-armored Universe Fighter (ユニバースファイター, Yunibāsu Faitā) form and combine with Dynazenon and Big Golburn to become Rogue Kaiser Gridman (ローグカイゼルグリッドマン, Rōgu Kaizeru Guriddoman).

Due to their connection with the hero, they were the only ones who are not affected by the changes made when one of Akane's Kaiju killed a victim, causing them to be erased from existence.

This factor plays in their Assist Weapon (アシストウェポン, Ashisuto Wepon) forms being able to combine with Gridman and increase his power, initially one at a time before their power output is reduced so they can all appear and form Full Powered Gridman. But when Gridman is absent, the Assist Weapons can combine on their own into War God Combine Powered Zenon (合体戦人 パワードゼノン, Gattai Senjin Pawādo Zenon). In contrast to the agile Gridman, Powered Zenon relies on strength and its signature move is Powered Breaker (パワードブレイカー, Pawādo Bureikā).

Garnix (ガルニクス, Garunikusu)

The last stray monster to appear, it possessed a strange ability that trapped its victims in their own pasts, causing them to instantly vanish. It immediately caused the disappearance of the Kaiju Eugenicists when they attempted to control it, then caused the entire city to vanish bit by bit. With most of the pilots already taken by its effect, Yomogi was forced to travel through the space within it and bring the others back into the present so that they could fight. After rescuing his teammates and Knight, they formed Kaiser Gridknight and destroyed the monster.

Gridman Universe

Kaiju created by Mad Origin to aid his plans. Like Mad Origin, their names are close anagrams of Gridman's name.

Dimorgan (ディモルガン, Dimorugan)

The first kaiju sent to Tsutsuji-dai by Mad Origin. It attacks with tentacles that emerge from projections on its back, shock waves from its mouth, and destructive rays from the crystalline body on its chest and arms.

Domgiran (ドムギラン, Domugiran)

The second kaiju sent to Tsutsuji-dai by Mad Origin. It is both agile and powerful, and has the potential to take on both Full Power Gridman and Kaiser Grid Knight at the same time. Its attacks include thunderbolts from its entire body, photoballs from both palms, and destructive rays from the tip of its tail, and when its hands are joined together, it releases an even larger beam.

Noir Dogma (ノワールドグマ, Nowāru Doguma)

The third kaiju created by Mad Origin in order to eliminate countless irregular beings that should not exist in the world. It is characterized by a hard shell that covers its entire body, and it shoots beams from an umbrella-shaped part on its head. Some of them can also fly in the sky.
