Characters[]
Jino[]
Jino is strong and an invincible fighter in his team. He is the leader when it comes to handling the Black Shadows. Roy is his rival as they sometimes anger each other. But whenever there is a misunderstanding they will always sort it out. Bluwill is his Watch Car and they have a strong bond together. He was once defeated by Kai in the first episode, but after that, he gained a winning streak. Jino is responsible for handling the mind keys as Bluewill is the next generation Watch Car.
Bluewill[]
Bluewill is the next generation watch car and is the only watch car in the series that possess the mind keys. He has a crush on Sona and they like each other very much. Bluewill was once defeated by Kai in the very first episode but has never been defeated after that. After the match with Kai, he suffered from amnesia and Jino helped Bluewill recover from that.
Roy[]
Calm and observing, Roy is the master of flame and his Watch Car Avan has fire-related abilities. He also has a crush on Ari, but only found out in the episode "Lost Cupid's Arrow". When Ari finds out about this, she refuses at first, but later said she would keep an eye on him. He is one of the 12 Masters and has had a match against Kai before. He reads books most of the time though. Other girls such as Sophie do have crushes on Roy, but tends to ignore them.
Avan[]
Avan is Roy's Watch Car who is also cold-blooded just like his owner. His personality is same just like Roy. But being serious and harsh doesn't matter, as he is also a caring car, just like others. Avan also sacrificed his own life for others. In the " Ultra Watch Car in Crisis" episode, he saves Sona by taking in the fire attack. Hence, he died by doing this. However, at the Watch Car gala, it is revealed that Ari, through Mac, bought him back to life.
Maru[]
Maru is Jino's friend and doesn't play in the Battle League just like Ari. His watch car is named Poti. Although is not a Master in the current episodes, he has played against Kai in the Watch Car Battle League (in a qualifier). Thus, he was a former Battle League player. In the episode " Lost Cupid's Arrow", he and Jino were teasing Roy and Ari for going alone and made them think they were going on a date.
Poti[]
Poti is Maru's watch car and has the same personality. His weapons are Storm Gun, Crazy Missiles, Rocket Punch and the amazing Giant Fist as his power coin. He also has a defence block for emergencies. Although he has been shown in most of the episodes, we don't really know what he can really do.
Ari[]
Ari is an emotional and charming girl who always cares for her team. Ari is the only one that never plays in the Watch Car Battle League, as the power of her Love Love Beam is unsuitable for it. She always charms anyone when they start fighting and turning their backs on each other. She has never fit in with any other girls, as she was very different.
Ari also had a crush on Hans, one of the Watch Car Masters, but sadly broke up when she found out his true colours. Hans is handsome and has skills, but was taking advantage of Ari, listening to her conversations, and even hurt Bluewill before their match.
Sona[]
Sona is Ari's Watch Car who has the ability to make anyone fall in love with her. She is a beautiful and innocent Watch Car. She has many beautiful, incredible and fierce powers such as Love Love Beam, Love Love Missiles and the most incredible Wonder Love Swan. Bluewill and Sona also have a crush on each other. She is the main female Watch Car. Everyone cares for her because of her innocent attitude but then also she was once kidnapped by Kai and saved by Bluewill.
