Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Head this way for the Capcom characters.


Casshan/Casshern

"Let's go, Friender! Our real enemy awaits!"

Voiced by: Daisuke Ono

After the death of his father, Tetsuya Azuma swore revenge against the evil robot race who killed his father. As the Neo Human Casshern, (or Neoroider Casshern) he uses his strength, gun and extending legs to battle the evil androids. Backing him up is his dog Friender, who also became a cyborg to help Casshan by transforming into various vehicles.

Frank West: You changed your whole body into a machine for revenge? That's pretty hardcore kid.

(after winning against Roll) "Humans and robots... living together in peace? I'm not against it, but it's unlikely to happen."
(after winning against Zero) "A world where humans and robots live in harmony? I find that hard to believe..."

  • Shock and Awe: His primary form of offense.
  • Spell My Name with an "S": "Casshan" in Ultimate All Stars, which makes it clear what Capcom had to get through to gain the licenses.[2] It's even more notable because FUNimation released his most recent anime as "Casshern Sins", meaning there are concurrent depictions of the character that spell his name differently.


Doronjo
"Only one true beauty can achieve victory, and I am the very definition of true beauty!"
— After winning against Ken The Eagle

Voiced by: Noriko Ohara
Boyacky voiced by: Joji Yanami
Tonzura voiced by: Kazuya Taketabe

The only playable villain in the game, Doronjo is the main antagonist of the Yatterman series. Their main objective is to steal things, namely pieces of the Dokuro/Skull Stone for Dokurobei, their seldom-seen boss.

(winquote against Batsu) "Why are kids these days only interested in fighting for justice? It's enough to make me gag!"
(winquote against Saki) "How could someone as young as you even think you know how to protect the earth? I tell you, these young people and their 'justice'."

(when winning against Jun The Swan) "Hah! Did you think a little duckling like you could actually beat the great and beautiful Doronjo!?"

(when winning against Roll) "Cleaning up is for the weak, not for the beautiful. Be a lamb and grab your mop. This place needs a good cleaning."

  • Gonk: Boyacky and Tonzra are quite strange looking.
  • Groin Attack: Her "Punching Bag Fiesta". Tonzra grab hold her opponent and Boyacky beat them senseless until Doronjo delivers the final blow, a swift vertical kick. While it may not be the intentions of the attack to directly be a groin attack or a cunt punt, most often the positioning of the characters results in her knee landing right where it hurts the most.
  • Horny Scientist: Her skinny techie sidekick Boyacky is quite the pervert as seen by his quote in Doronjo's ending.

(Boyacky in the ending) "And once again all the young ladies out there know how cool the Dorombo Gang is!"

Jun The Swan: The three of you are just like some stereotypical cartoon villains. What? No, I was not praising you!
Kaijin No Soki: Not only are you a terrible fighter, those two goons with you are cowards!
Polimar: I'll be sure to remember the Dorombo Gang... as the most incompetent criminals in the history of the world!
Tekkaman: The three of you are not as bad as you appear. What do you say to changing your ways?

"H-H-H-H-Hey! There could be children watching this! You don't have a shred of decency, do you? Show some self-control!"

  • Literal Ass-Kicking: Her throw.
  • Mini Game Credits: Except when finishing the game as Roll, they must catch as many letters as they can in the credits. Every letter gives zenny, which the player can later use to buy costumes, characters or artwork at the shop. It's necessary to catch every gold letter to unlock the other minigame, Ultimate All-Shooters.
  • Rhymes on a Dime: Perhaps unintentional, but done in her winning quote after a Mirror Match:

"If you're going to dress up like me, then you'll have to pay me a licensing fee. You can't just imitate a celebrity for free!"

  • Sexy Walk: Her walking stance. Also used in some of her attacks, such as the "Punching Bag Festa" Level 1 super when used on Yatterman-1 or Yatterman-2.
  • Ship Tease:
    • She hits on Alex, as seen in her victory quote against him:

"Oooh! You are definitely my type of man! Of course, you could use a haircut. And a suit. If you bring me some flowers then I might just date you."

    • Crossing a bit with Ephebophile, as she also hits on Volnutt:

"Oh, my! What a handsome boy! I hope some day you can fight at my side."

    • And, ironically, on Ippatsuman:

"Oooh... The more I see of you, the more I like you. What a cruel fate to be forced to fight such a handsome man!"

(after winning against Ken The Eagle) "Only one true beauty can achieve victory, and I am the very definition of true beauty!"

(when winning against Chun-Li) "As proven once again, the police are no match for the Dorombo Gang!"

  • Terrible Trio: She's always accompanied by Boyacky and Tonzra. They even appear together in both boxarts! It's a shame that they are overshadowed by the game's logo, an error Capcom issued first by making them as the menu hosts in CGoH, and then by putting said title in a blank space in the UAS coverart.
  • Token Evil Teammate: In a game called Cross Generation of Heroes, she's the only villain(ness) albeit an ineffective one.
  • Wangst: How she see some of the normally angsty characters:

(winquote against Tekkaman Blade) "I just can't stand these dark, brooding men! I hate them!"
(winquote against Zero) "You just get on my nerves, you know that? Just get away from me. You disgust me."


Gold Lightan

"I will protect this planet, and fight anyone who tries to hurt it!"

Voiced by: Issei Futamata

  • Anime Theme Song: "Ougon Senshi Gold Lightan!"
  • Bare Fisted Humongous Mecha: He lacks ranged attacks, as his attacks are normally punching and kicking. Also, his real size is definitely way, way bigger than in the game. He's supposedly hundreds of feet tall.
  • Flash of Pain: Because he doesn't flinch when damaged (as compensation for fighting alone) he needs confirmation that the hits are landing which are more obvious than just their health bar.
  • Giant Foot of Stomping: Many of his attacks, including one where he kicks the poor soul to the wall, and stomps on and spins on their body. Ouch.
  • Mighty Glacier
  • One Man Party: He can't be paired with anyone due to his own power.
  • Our Souls Are Different: Normally, his trademark move, "Gold Crash", rips out the "mechanical core" of robotic enemies in his anime as well as the robot type characters in the game (Roll, Casshern, Mega Man Volnutt, PTX-40A, and another Lightan). However, when the attack hits a non-robot opponent, he pulls out their SOUL and makes them explode in a grand fashion!
  • Palette Swap: Silver Lightan.
  • Unflinching Walk: Though after suffering several hits he and PTX do get dizzy.
  • Shoryuken: Done in his CGOH ending.

GOLD SHORYUKEN!!!

GOLD LIGHTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

  • Tremor Trampoline: "Gold Quake", which hits the entire floor and sends the oppenent flying unless they jumped or blocked low.
    • This is also how he starts "Gold Crash".


Hakushon Daimao

Voiced by: Toru Ohira

A character only present in Cross Generation of Heroes.

The main character of the series of the same name. A goofy oriental genie who lives in a bottle and grants one wish to everyone who sneezes nearby.

  • Adaptational Badass
  • Anime Theme Song: "Daimao"
  • Ass Kicks You: It even has a stagger effect.
  • Fartillery: The finish of one of his Level 1 Supers.
  • Fighting Clown: He has cartoony but otherwise dangerous attacks, has an air throw, can Snapback like Alex, (in fact, they're the only two characters who are able to do that) and has the second highest stamina.
  • Improbable Weapon User: He uses his wand in many of his normals and one of his Level 1 Supers.
  • Literal Genie
  • No Export for You: A unique case. While the game made it across the border, he didn't show up in the American version because his licencers were being a little stingy. However, there's the five secret characters they included in Ultimate All-Stars to probably make up for this.
  • Non-Standard Character Design: Not in the anime he comes originally from, but in this game he looks much more cartoonier than his other fellow Tatsunoko characters.
  • Secret Character: In Cross Generation of Heroes. To unlock him you must Clear Arcade mode once with a Tatsunoko character, then purchase him for 1000 points.
  • Sneeze of Doom: Of the "should come with their own hurricane warnings" variety. One of his attacks is powerful sneeze that sends the opponents flying.
  • The Ditz


Hurricane Polymar/Polimar

"There's no chance of you winning if you can't tell which is the real Polimar!"

Voiced by: Kunihiko Yasui

Alex: That was the roar of a hurricane? Sorry, but I ain't quakin' in my boots here.
Batsu: So you're the protector of some city, huh? I guess that's like a local hero kind of thing?
Chun-Li: That's the Hurricane Style, right? I guess it's better for taunting than actual fighting.
(after winning against her) "Whadya mean you've never heard of Hurricane Polimar!? I'm the protector of Washinkyo! That's so bogus!"
Joe The Condor: All you do is run your mouth, eh? I take it the Hurricane style is nothing more than prancing around and talking ad nauseum.
Jun The Swan: I know you're trying to go for a "wild-and-crazy" hero thing there, but all that screaming is just downright annoying.

    • The only one who outright respects him is, obviously...

Viewtiful Joe: Whoa, the real Polimar!? H-O-T! Hey, hey, can you sign my helmet!? Make it out to "Joe, my No. 1 fan"!

(when winning against Batsu) "I believe you and I are alike in many ways. Keep up the good fight--for justice!"


Ippatsuman

"You ask why I fight? I fight to see evil vanquished and good rewarded! That is the proper order of things!"

Voiced by: Masayuki Kato


Joe The Condor

"My Bird Missile will hunt evil down and eradicate it here and everywhere!"

Voiced by: Isao Sasaki

  • Anti-Hero: To the point of being confused by a villain:

Polimar: I honestly thought you were a villain. I had no idea you are in some top-secret organization. My mistake.

Chun-Li: I don't care what secret ninja organization you belong to. Firing missiles here is dangerous. Does your boss know you're doing this?

    • And as a prologue to his ending, if he's defeated by Ken:

Ken The Eagle: Joe! When I give an order, you listen! You are not to fire the Bird Missile without my express permission!

Batsu: That cape's freakin' cool! Don't it get in the way though? Maybe I'll start wearing a trench coat...

    • Badass Normal: So badass that the brain damage he received from one of the early episodes became his sickness later on, leading to his terminal death. However, due to this, his fighting skill has become more powerful. You can see this in his stance.
  • Bullet Time: One of his special moves paints the screen red, except for him and his opponent, which turn black, and has him shooting his gun. We see the bullet going in slo-mo.
  • Commander Contrarian: To Ken, as seen in his own ending.
  • Death From Above: One of his hyper attacks calls the God Phoenix to rain missiles on the battlefield.
  • The Dev Team Thinks of Everything: His Level 3 super usually calls in Ken to help out. If he's teamed up with Jun, she jumps in instead.
  • Everything's Better with Spinning: To the point of being able to create tornadoes.
  • The Gunslinger
  • Hammerspace: One of his Level 1 Supers involves him calling the God Phoenix, who can appear even in the Galactor Base, the Yatterman Workshop and the Ark of Yamato.
  • I Work Alone: And some characters will comment on this:

Gold Lightan: You're a strange one... Why do you find it so difficult to get along with your friends?
Saki: Teamwork is of the utmost imortance! How about trusting in your teammate more often?
Tekkaman: A leader does need to be calm under pressure, but he should also have a passion to inspire his team. You should learn to respect your leader.

Tekkaman Blade: Your experiences mirror my own, but that doesn't make us friends.


Jun The Swan

"It's in your best interest to give up now before you really get hurt."

Voiced by: Kazuko Sugiyama

Kaijin No Soki: You call yourself a ninja, but you stand out far too much. Is your clothing not a hindrance to your work?

"You might find this surprising, but out of all the Science Ninja members, I enjoy fighting the least."


Karas

"... The duty of a Karas... ... is to protect the city..."

Voiced by: Endo Daichi

  • Anime Theme Song: By lack of an own, he uses the music of the first scenes of the Karas OVA.
  • Audible Sharpness: "Hiei Zangetsu", otherwise known as "Cold Moon Slice". You know, that pleasant but chilling sound of Karas doing "multiple slices" from the moon that entangles the opponent.
  • Battle Aura
  • Dark Is Not Evil: Just protects it's city, as seen in some of his victory quotes.
    • Polimar confuses him by a villain because of this:

Polimar: Black armor! Flashing eyes! And never shouting out your own name! Are you sure you're not a villain?


Ken The Eagle

"Wherever evil lurks, we will root it out! That is the Science Ninja motto!"

Voiced by: Katsuji Mori

Alex: Ken the Eagle? More like Ken the Beagle!
Batsu: So what exactly does the Science Ninja do? Sit around all day and polish their helmets?
Chun-Li: The Science Ninja? Sorry, never heard of you. Are you guys a bird-watching club or something?
Frank West: So, you're a... ninja... scientist? Huh. Sounds like something you'd read about in a cheap comic book.
Tekkaman Blade: So you guys are ninjas who use science? I don't get it. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
Zero: Science Ninja... Are you advertising for some kind of children's toys or something?

Ryu: As I expected, the famed Ken the Eagle's attacks are relentless and powerful.

Viewtiful Joe: Hey, if you guys have an opening, ring me up! Whether it's a horned owl, a swallow or heck, even a condor, I'd fit the bill!


Tekkaman

"Let's go, Pegas! The future of humanity rests on our shoulders!"

Voiced by: Katsuji Mori

Mega Man Volnutt: At first, I thought that was just a regular old spear, but boy is that thing sharp! A hit from that could slice me in two!

"VOLTEKKA!"

"SPACE LANCE!"

Tekkaman Blade

"My hatred and anger for the Radam is the only thing that fuels me!"

Voiced by: Toshiyuki Morikawa

"VOLTEKKA!"

Kaijin No Soki: Your speed is amazing, despite the weight of your armor. Just what kind of strength do you possess!?

(when winning against Joe The Condor) "Your experiences mirror my own, but that doesn't make us friends."


Yatterman-1

"Whether I'm blocking or punching, I'm always using all of my power! That's the Yatterman way!"

Voiced by: Eri Kitamura

"Victory Pose Time! Yatter! Yatter! Yatterman!"


Yatterman-2

"Did you underestimate me because I'm a girl? Well, too bad for you!"

Voiced by: Emiri Katou

  • A Boy and His X: Ai-Chan and Yatterpelican.
  • Action Girl
  • Badass Normal
  • Button Mashing: Her Level 3 Special has her controlling Yatterpelican's attacks, which essentially means she's mashing "fire" on the controller - before clinging to the beak and DIVEBOMBING the foe.
  • Distaff Counterpart: To her boyfriend Gan-Chan. Note that both fight differently from each other.
  • Everything's Better with Penguins: Her "This Week's Surprise Mecha" Level 3 has her summoning Yatterpelican, who starts to shoot penguin missiles, which repeatedly peck the buttocks of the poor victim. You mash the buttons to make Yatterpelican spit out more missiles, and afterwards, all of the missiles will merge into one penguin rocket which explodes.
  • Fragile Speedster: Might be a contender for that spot.
  • Hammerspace: Her Level 3 Super involves her calling Yatterpelican, while one of her Level 1 supers involves her calling Omotchama, both of whom can appear even in the Galactor Base and the Ark of Yamato.[7]
  • The Power of Love: Electric love, that is! All of her attacks are electric-based, and one involves shooting out electric hearts that bounce back and forth. One of her hyper moves involve summoning a more potent electrical heart which you can hold to make it bigger and more powerful. Heck, her real name, Ai Kaminari, means "Love Thunder".
  • Secret Character: In Ultimate All-Stars. To unlock her you must get Frank West, Zero, Tekkaman Blade, and Joe the Condor's Arcade endings.
  • Shock and Awe
  • Spell My Name with an "S": Yatterman or Yattaman?
  • Sumo Practitioner In All Of Us: Her "Omotchama's Roll" Level 1 hyper has her calling Omotchama, the dice-robot of Yatterman. He then proceeds to slap and attack Ai-Chan's opponent with moves extracted directly from E. Honda.
  • Verbal Tic: Omotchama, who appears in her "Omotchama's Roll" Level 1 hyper, always ends his statement with "~de koron!".
  • X-Ray Sparks: Her grab.

  1. ↑ The "Chou Hakkaikousen", despite appearing as only a thin green beam, obliterates the Big Bad, Buraiking Boss (who's easily ten feet tall and can spit lasers) in one hit, scattering bits of his body for miles, leaving naught but his head (and his chest, which quickly hits the ground and shatters) and creating a mushroom cloud. Oh, and let's not forget how it completely strips him of his artificial skin when it hits.
  2. ↑ The 90's Casshan Robot Hunter OVA, which used that spelling.
  3. ↑ And remember: Doronjo and Dorombo are two separate entities: Doronjo is the villainess, while Doronbo is the gang's name.
  4. ↑ The 90's OVA, which used that spelling.
