Supporting Characters

The Seven Blessed Beings

These entities are handpicked to assist Matthew Luke and Hyacinth in their struggles as leaders of the Nueva Liga Filipina -- via the borrowing of their inherent powers to the two. There are seven beings each for Matthew Luke and Hyacinth, and three sets of them are revealed so far.

Matthew Luke's Blessed Beings

• Yuuichi Aizawa
• Yukito Kunisaki

Hyacinth's Blessed Beings

• Refia
• Flonne

All of them share the following tropes.

• Fusion Dance: Once a gem representing a Blessed Being is pulled out from Matthew Luke's / Hyacinth's bracelet and is placed into Matthew Luke's / Hyacinth's forehead, a Transformation Sequence involving this will commence. The sequence is a combination of Kamen Rider Faiz and Kamen Rider Hibiki.
• Limit Break: Once any of them have assimilated into Matthew Luke and/or Hyacinth, the latter two will dish out Exceed Charges that either deal a ton of damage to enemies or can greatly benefit the allies.
• Mentor Archetype: All of them are more experienced than Matthew Luke and Hyacinth since they have all gone through trials of their own and survived.
• Spirit Advisor: Though they are all not dead; they are very much alive.
• Super Mode: They basically count as one for both Matthew Luke and Hyacinth.

The Arbiter Triumvirate

Consisting of Maria Makiling, the Arbiter of the Present; Leknaat, the Arbiter of the Future; and an unrevealed-as-of-yet character who serves as the Arbiter of the Past -- this triumvirate oversees the struggle against the Philippine Eldritch Abomination, the Trapo Rune.

• Big Good: They all handpick the Stars of Destiny and the Seven Blessed Beings to fight alongside themselves to defeat the Trapo Rune for good.

• Spirit Advisor / The Watcher: They all act as inspirational guides to the heroes.

Kaede Fuyou

• Magic Music: Tsukasa (Decade) utilizes a special card that summons Eric Cartman, who sings "Kyle's Mom is a Bitch" (only that all instances of "Kyle's Mom" is replaced with "Kris Aquino") in order to rile up Kris and neutralize the anomalies she created.

But then, once Hero clears his name, she remains defiant against him and even antagonizes the Nueva Liga Filipina for that purpose alone.

Later on, after she found out that her husband and a plastic surgeon, Hope Centeno, did a "miracle" in Dr. Belo's clinic, she initiated a huge smear campaign against her, while still maintaining her grudge against the Nueva Liga Filipina.
