NGJHS

The NGJHS, short for Neon Genesis Junior High Students, is a quartet of Hyper Agents who pose as youths dressed in black. They are later revealed to be embodiments of Gridman's scattered fragments modeled after his memories and became living beings in their own right. This factor plays in their Assist Weapon 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. In contrast to the agile Gridman, Powered Zenon relies on strength and its signature move is Powered Breaker. During the events of Gridman Universe, joined by Rex, the Assist Weapons gain the ability turn into a purple version of their Powered Zenon form called Powered Knight Zenon and combine with Gridknight to form Full Power Gridknight.

Antagonists

Kaiju Eugenicists

The Kaiju Eugenicists are a quartet of youths that serve as the antagonists of SSSS Dynazenon. Five thousand years prior, they were betrayed and killed by Gauma when he sided against them after they attempted a coup against their nation. Having been resurrected in the present day by their link to the Kaiju, the Eugenicists use their Instance Domination ability to take control of Kaiju so they can destroy humanity. After the death of Garnix and the discovery that no new Kaiju will ever be born again, the Kaiju Eugenicists disband and go their separate ways. In the last episode, however, they choose to be absorbed into Gagula to increase his power for his battle with Kaizer Gridknight, existing within it in a very similar way to how the pilots appear within Dynazenon. They are apparently killed after the death of Gagula, though Shimizu is seen afterwards in an indeterminate space.

Mad Origin

Mad Origin is the main antagonist of Gridman Universe and is referred by Alexis as a Cluster of Kaiju origins, an intelligent Kaiju that embodies the worst of humanity and can speak human language through a monster generator built into his chest. Mad Origin interferes from outside Yuta's universe as part of his plan to cause a Big Crunch, seeking to plunge all reality into primordial chaos. However, Akane's return forces Mad Origin to personally battle the protagonists, able to fully counter Gridman and Gridknight's attacks. But Alexis's sacrifice allows Gridman and Gridknight to defeat Mad Origin.

Kaiju

Giant monsters that born the emotional states of humans, described by Sizumu in SSSS Dynazenon as embodiments of humanity's disillusionment from being restrained by emotional bonds. While most encountered are aggressive and embody humanity's negative emotions, there are those like the GridKnight Alliance and Golburn who are exposed to humanity's positive traits and become allies.

''SSSS Gridman''

Created from Akane's models through Alexis Kerib, these Kaiju are each a reflection of Akane's mental state. The Poison Gas Monsters that surround Tsutsujidai repair any damage done to the city following a Kaiju attack while altering peoples' memories of any casualties. When Akane fell into a depression following her stabbing Yūta, Alexis recreates all the Kaiju for a final attack on Tsutsujidai. But Gridknight and the Gridman Alliance destroy the Kaiju army.
