Shadow Line

The enemies of the Toqgers.

Their trains are called Kurainers (クライナー). It's a portmanteau of Kurai/Dark with Liner. Might also be a combination of Cry and Liner. There is a picture of the toy with it written as Cryner in English, but this is probably the same mistake that we made in our early subs.

Kurainer spelled as Cryner

General Schwarz

シュバルツ将軍

Voiced by Jou Haruhiko

Name means "black" in German.

Baron Nero

ネロ男爵

Voiced by Fukuyama Jun Name means "black" in Italian. Has a plague doctor mask.

Madame Noire

ノア夫人

Voiced by Hisakawa Aya

Name means "black" in French. Dressed liked a noble woman.

Lady Glitter

グリッタ嬢

Voiced by Hidaka Noriko

It's not too clear what the etymology of this name is. It looks like Glitter in Japanese, except it's missing the dash at the end that's typical in the Japanese katakana for "glitter". After the events in episode 12, it seems like it really was intended to mean "glitter". The kaijin wiki also suspects it's Grigio which is Italian for "grey". [2] There's a theory that her name is Grita from the Spanish word "negrita" which means "black girl", but this seems like kind of a stretch.

She has two small wings on her back that she doesn't use. Among the Shadow Line members, only her eyes glow, which is something that appeals to the Emperor.

Marchioness Mørk

モルク侯爵

Voiced by Suzuki Reiko

She's the new commander that's introduced in this episode. The eldest member of the Shadow Line. She's in charge of the Shadow Towns.

Her voice actress also does the Shadow Line announcements. It is unknown if they are supposed to be from this character.

Her name means darkness in Norwegian.

Kurous

クローズ
