Marika Kato[]

75MarikaKato 377

Voiced by: Mikako Komatsu

The main character. Marika starts off the story as a schoolgirl who participates in her school's space yacht club and works part-time at a local Maid Cafe. It soon turns out that she is actually the only daughter of Gonzaemon Kato, captain of the pirate ship Bentenmaru, and therefore the only person who can take his place (legally). While she's reluctant to take on the role, she does display natural talent for the job and accepts becoming Captain of the Bentenmaru. [1]

Tropes relating to Marika's Pirate persona

  • Action Girl: Takes on "a brave passenger" aboard the Princess Apricot in a sword fight, and wins... kinda.
  • Affably Evil: Tells the passengers of the Princess Apricot they won't be harmed so long as they comply with her demands.
  • Badass Adorable: When they raid the Princess Apricot Hyakume says the passengers will be really happy as not only do they get to experience a pirate raid, the pirate's captain is a cute girl.
  • Badass Cape: One of the many modifications Mami added made the cape on Marika's pirate uniform even more badass looking.
  • Badass Longcoat
  • Catch Phrase: Saa! Kaizoku no jikan da! (It's time for some piracy!)
  • Combat Pragmatist: When she loses her duel against Kane she uses a hidden gun to just shoot him instead.
  • Cool Hat: de rigueur for a pirate captain, specifically it's a Bicorne.
  • Evil Is Hammy: Especially her big speeches during the raid on the Princess Apricot. Chiaki even comments that Marika seems to be getting really into it.
    • When she herself poses as Marika in ep. 10, though, she arguably hams it up even more.
  • Evil Laugh: In episode 6... well she gives it a a go at least.
  • Pimped-Out Dress: Thanks to Mami's modifications

75KaneMcDougal 9423

Voiced by: Masaya Matsukaze

Helmsman aboard the Bentenmaru, and Marika's substitute teacher. [4]

  • Ace Pilot
  • Bishounen: In his role as a teacher, he teaches a few dozen teenage girls, several of whom notice how pretty he is.
    • In Episode 19, after they've learned his identity, several of them demand he teach them how to pilot dinghies. Very loudly and insistently.

Misa Grandwood[]

The medic aboard the Bentenmaru.[5]

Schnitzer[]

75Schnitzer 3942

Voiced by: Kenta Miyake

The Bentenmaru's weapons officer, a hulking, demonic Cyborg. Not a Gentle Giant by any means, but much nicer than one might expect from his appearance. [6]

  • The Big Guy: Literally and metaphorically.
  • Caped Mecha: Cyborg, technically, but apart from that he's got the aesthetic down pat.
  • Chest Blaster: Six of 'em, and they're implied to be only part of an extensive suite of built-in weaponry.
  • Face of a Thug: Actually looks outright demonic, though when he talks he's fairly polite and soft spoken. He's also shy about being seen by people he doesn't know unless he's working.
  • Horned Humanoid: It may be a helmet but he's never seen with it off.
  • The Quiet One: Doesn't talk much at all.

Jenny Dolittle[]

75JennyDolittle 6646

Voiced by: Rina Sato.

President of the Hakuho Academy Space Yacht Club - and, therefore, captain of the Odette II. Lynn's lover. [7].

  • The Captain: Acts in this role for the Odette II's cruise. While she doesn't seem to share Marika's tactical talent, she appears a natural at the crew management aspect.
  • Club President
  • Damsel in Distress: In episode 17 it's revealed she, being forced into an Arranged Marriage by her uncle and Lynn wants to hire the Bentenmaru to rescue her...
    • Badass Damsel: Which is rendered moot when she takes a chance to escape by shooting her way to an electronic warfare/recon fighter with a pistol she had hidden under her wedding dress.
  • Lipstick Lesbian
  • School Idol
  • Ojou: Heir to the Dolittle Space Shipping conglomerate.
  • Precision F-Strike/Sophisticated As Hell: Her response to Lightening 11's demand for the Odette II's immediate surrender was "Bakame!" which is roughly equivalent to saying "You stupid son of a bitch!" in English, Crunchyroll subtitled it as "Nuts!". Either way it's not language you'd normally hear from an Ojou
  • Put on a Bus: Jenny has graduated from Hakuho Academy by Sailing 12.
  • Silk Hiding Steel: A pistol to be precise.
