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

Emperor of Darkness Zett

Lady Glitter

グリッタ嬢
ShadowLine Cast6 2.jpg

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.
