Their trains are called Cryners, which is a portmanteau of "Cry" and "Liner".

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 Noir

ノイア夫人

Voiced by Hisakawa Aya

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

Lady Gritta

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". The kaijin wiki also suspects it's Grigio which is Italian for "grey". [1] There's a theory that her name is Grita from the Spanish word "negrita" which means "bold type", but this seems like kind of a stretch.

Kurous

クローズ

The grunts of the series. Their name comes from "black" in Japanese, which is Kuro.

Shadow Kaijin

シャドー怪人

The monsters of the week.

-Breaking the trend, Glitter's name is the only commander whose name doesn't mean "black". Glitter is almost the opposite of meaning to stuff like shadows.
