Gridman

Voiced by: Hikaru Midorikawa [1] [2] (Japanese); Robert McCollum [3] (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.
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).

During the events of Gridman Universe, piecing together the missing parts of his memory from being possessed, Yuta becomes a willingly host to Gridman when the latter needs his help.

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).
