The Characters
Seiyuu: Satsuki Yukino
Priss Asagiri
Seiyuu: Yu Asakawa
Singing Seiyuu: Akira Sudou
Voice Actress: Christine M. Auten
Singer for the band Sekiria, Priss is in the Knight Sabers solely for the money.
She harbours an intense hatred for the AD Police, viewing them on the same level as she does mad boomers. There is the possibility that she also wants to be a Knight Saber to make the ADP look foolish. Priss hates the AD Police for an intensely embarrassing and hilarious reason. The moment in which it is revealed is very tender, and it is almost worth watching the entire series for that scene alone.
She supposedly has a dead love from years ago, although the issue is only touched upon once by Nene. Waiting For You (the end song) is supposed to be based upon her search for that love.
A very good fighter, Priss is a the lead in all boomer assaults. For much of the series, she sees Nene as an obstacle. Linna helps her to become less of an introverted person, and in time she comes to respect her team mates.
It appears that Priss can play the guitar, and she can beat a drum to the point of breaking the stick, yet she does neither when actually performing in Sekiria.
Linna Yamazaki
Seiyuu: Rio Natsuki
Voice Actress: Kelly Manison
Bubblegum Crisis is kicked off when poor, naive Linna goes to the big city to work in an unfulfilling job and to pursue her dream of becoming a Knight Saber. She is told by her first friend in the city, Misae, that there is no such thing as a Knight Saber or a mad boomer, but naturally there are as otherwise there would be no series.
Working at Hugh Geit, where she is constantly sexually harassed by her managers and picked on by her supervisor, she is unhappy. However, as a Knight Saber, she is living her dream.
Linna is the glue that sticks the Knight Sabers together, she is friends with all of the team (though it seems that she lacks a strong connection with Sylia). A big sister to Nene and a person that Priss quietly regards, Linna brings the series together as a whole.
People say that Linna is a boring character, but really she is a vital part of the team.
Nene Romanova
Seiyuu: Hiroko Konishi
Voice Actress: Hilary Haag
One of the most popular characters in the series, Nene is a double agent, acting as both an AD Policewoman and a Knight Saber.
Her favourite pass times include taunting Leon and taking advice from her stuffed ferret, Uprio-chan (known annoyingly in the dub as �weasel�).
Nene may not be the best combatant, but she is the smartest member of the Knight Sabers and does much of their computer work.
Nene has a confused relationship with Mackey, and much of the humour in the series arises from it, as does much of the drama.
Nene is somewhat unfairly treated by Priss, but ultimately they get along with each other.
She and Linna have a habit of embarrassing each other, either in public or amongst their group.
Fushigidane Bulbasaur *
Seiyuu/Voice Actress: See footnote
The best and brightest of the Knight Sabers. Though not actually seen in the series, Fushigidane is the greatest member of the team.
Fast to the point that he is invisible to the naked eye, Fushigidane is responsible for all of the Boomer�s defeats through the entire series.
Nigel Kirkland
A mechanic, and an alcoholic, Nigel is in charge of taking care of the hard suits.
Nigel has a deep and abiding love for Sylia, and he and Priss "understand each other".
Nigel seems to have a mixed attitude when it comes to the hard suits, and at first does not really seem to care about what happens to the Knight Sabers in battle.
This changes, however, when he takes Mackey under his wing, and learns the importance of caring about people.
Mackey Stingray
Sylia's younger brother, Mackey's past is shrouded in mystery.
Mackey has an ability to always say the wrong thing to Sylia at the dining table and infuriate her.
Mackey returns to Tokyo after an extended trip in space. Why he was there, I have no idea why.
Awkward at first, Mackey gains his footing when he goes to work with Nigel.
Mackey truly loves machines, and it is this love that has his sister so angry.
Seiyuu: Kiyoyuki Yanada
Daley Wong
Seiyuu: Y�ji Ueda
Voice Actor: Chris Patton
Daley is Leon�s foil, keeping him grounded and out of extreme trouble.
The ADV profiles say that he is homosexual, most likely based on the fact that the original Daley was. In 2040, there�s nothing indicative one way or the other (except for one extremely bad joke in the first episode of the dub).
Daley is Leon�s source of dating advice. Daley�s main recommendation is that Leon not get involved with �plain, unprofessional women�, when he starts pursuing Priss.
Daley is always amused by the arguments that Leon and Nene have, by Leon's constant pursuit of Priss, and by the life that Leon leads in general.
Nick Roland
Chief of the AD Police, Nick always has to yell at Leon and Daley over their mad boomer failures. An old friend of Leon's, they get on well because of their similar dispositions.
Nick also admires Nene for her intelligence but feels that she has no place in battle.
Nick lives with his daughter, with whom he has a strong relationship. It is unknown if he has a wife.
Yano
Yano is lucky in that he owns one of the worst dub voices I've ever heard, sounding like jelly would sound if it could talk.
In the series, though Yano is one of those in charge at the AD Police totem pole and worries about Air Conditioning Licences. Nothing else is really known about him.
AD Police charge who I've forgotten the name of but it will come to me soon
Like Yano, except thinner and taller, and doesn't have a licence. Also has a better dub actor.
Brian J. Mason
Seiyuu: J�ji Nakata
Weird and evil, Mason does much business at Genom behind Chairman Rosenkreutz's back.
Mason is having an affair with his secretary boomer, and has mixed feelings on the whole matter.
When Mason was young he was very ill, and had to get certain organs of his body replaced with mechanical parts.
Mason's goal in the series is to "find my own boomer".
Secretary Boomer
Has red hair.
Has an affair with Mason.
Laughs on command.
Some have said that she should have her own series�
�Right.
Assistant Boomer
Has dark blue hair.
Has a different role to Secretary Boomer, but I can't really say what.
Kuzui
An informant, Kuzui works for the highest payer.
Overly smug, and a little stupid.
Galatea
Revealing the very nature of Galatea would spoil the series for every one, and that wouldn't be very fun at all, would it?
If you want some heavily spoiler filled information, come back a little later, when I've written the in depth character stuff.
All I can say is that Matt Greenfield really arsed up the pronunciation of her name in the dub.
Manager 0352 (Accounting Boomer)
Hated by many, loved by few, the accounting boomer is the bane of Linna's work life.
She does nothing other than make Linna's life miserable.
Kain Smith
The man in charge of evaluating new employees at Hugh Geit, he is always exploiting those he has to evaluate by dating them and forcing them into uncomfortable situations.
Rumour has it that he was originally going to be called "Super Pervert 2040", but ultimately he wasn't.
"Your thighs are too muscular" boss man
An ugly man who laughs too much and ogles Linna.
As Linna quite rightly says "I'm going to kill him some day!" (Dub: "I'd like to crush his core!").
He was going to be called "Super Ultra Mega Pervert 2041", but again, they decided against it.
Is that all of the characters? If I've missed anyone important, just tell me and I'll add them.
Thanks.
