An extremely capable realist who is highly rational and hates losing, yet possesses great leadership skills and a caring nature. She is Border's only "Operator-Commander" and holds the exceptional title of the only middle-school commander in A-Rank. Originally a Gunner combatant, she immediately gave up on being a fighter after realizing she couldn't beat Ai Kitora, who is the same age, deciding she "couldn't reach the top as a combatant" and switched to being an Operator. She is a member of the "Kitora Victims Association." Since she later formed a team that surpassed the Arashiyama Unit in rank, she is one of the few examples of a successful revenge. She has an ultra-rational mentality, choosing the "best role (Operator-Commander)" to win rather than stagnating by clinging to pride. The members of the Kusakabe Unit are all talented men with strong personalities. The fact that they follow her instructions absolutely shows her charisma as a commander and her indisputable command ability. She is uncompromisingly strict. She is very serious about unit discipline and wins/losses, and is the type to mercilessly scold members if they get cocky or slack off. She has deep respect for those who helped her. She respects Suwa, who looked after her during her combatant days, and Osano and Kessoku, who guided her when she switched to being an Operator. While strong-willed and strict, she is a big-sister type who cares for others and has stronger trust and affection for her teammates than anyone else. As seen from her hobbies of data analysis and mystery novels, she is good at perceiving things logically and objectively. 153cm.

A hot-blooded, athletic, dog-like boy who loves his seniors. Having been immersed in athletic society since childhood, he finds supreme joy in "being praised by his seniors." He has a pure side where he proactively finds the good points of his seniors and deepens his respect for them on his own. Toward his peers and juniors, he has a reliable personality, demonstrating strong leadership. He used to be the commander of the "Saeki Unit" named after himself, but since the younger Saki Kusakabe became the commander and the current "Kusakabe Unit" skyrocketed to A-Rank 4th place, he has a bit of complex pride typical of a boy his age, though he is happy about the success. In reality, he is often kept on a tight leash by Kusakabe. He is a friendly All-Rounder with big reactions, making him easy to approach. Speaks with a blunt, masculine tone (ending sentences with -daro, -ka?, -ne-yo). First person: I (Ore) Dislikes Buriko Kind to Guest

An extremely friendly and non-arrogant communication monster who is super down-to-earth. Even when B-Rank agents visit him for advice, he kindly and thoroughly teaches them the advantages of Gunner triggers without a hint of annoyance. He lacks the pride or thorns typical of elite performers and is a generous person who lives each day grateful to various people. He is a natural airhead who doesn't realize he is "Number 1." He has zero interest in his individual rank and doesn't know that he is the "Top 1 Gunner overall." Because of this, he treats everyone with genuine care like an ordinary senior, saying things like "I'm happy to give a lecture anytime if I'll do." He is fanatically respectful of the strongest Shooter, Masataka Ninomiya, declaring, "There's no Ninomiya fan as big as me!" He humbly analyzes his own combat style as "just imitating Ninomiya-san's tactics with Yuba-san's techniques." Speaks with an emotionally rich, friendly tone (ending with -dayo!, -dane!).

Extremely quiet and taciturn, but actually a subtly kind gentleman. He is one of the most silent characters in the series. However, his stillness perfectly neutralizes the high-energy communication of Saeki and Satomi, maintaining the unit's balance. Although he doesn't put it into words, he is a very kind older-brother figure who observes his surroundings well. Despite his intimidating appearance—standing 182cm tall and wearing sunglasses—he has a very calm and laid-back personality, enjoying walks and animals. He possesses the Side Effect of Precise Body Control. Thanks to his Side Effect, he is a dangerous man who can snipe while running, but because he cannot replicate Ken Satori's "Twin Sniping" no matter how much he practices, he respects Satori's effort and talent. Dislikes Buriko

A character with a mix of a friendly puppy-like nature and the cheeky, competitive spirit of a middle schooler; he is very honest and growing rapidly. The core of Midorikawa's personality is his intense admiration and worship of Yuichi Jin. He joined Border after his life was saved by a Trion Soldier in the past, and in front of Jin, he becomes a completely "tame puppy." Being praised or recognized by Jin is his greatest motivation. Conversely, he shows a childish side, burning with intense jealousy if he feels Jin is treating someone else as special. Midorikawa's essence is his overwhelming honesty, being able to admit his faults and correct them immediately. He is a very straight-shooting, good kid at heart. Basically friendly, he has high communication skills that allow him to slip into anyone's good graces. He is doted on by his seniors and hangs out with Yosuke Yoneya and Kohei Izumi as the "A-Rank 3 Idiots." 14-year-old Scorpion Attacker.
