The series takes place in 2107, where small wars take place all over the globe. A team of four people; Aoi Hidaka, Kurara Tachibana, Sakuya Kamon, Johnny Bernet, are chosen to be the pilots of the mysterious large robot that "protects the weak" and stops these small-scale wars, the Dancouga Nova. Like its predecessor, Dancouga Nova is a combining robot type of Super Robot, which have four separate units with each unit having its own pilot; the Nova Eagle, Nova Rhino, Nova Liger, and Nova Elephant, that form the Super Robot Dancouga Nova. The pilots are gathered by a secret organization that maintains the Dancouga Nova and dispatches its pilots on assigned missions from the organization's base of operations, the Dragon's Hive.

Characters

A red-haired, undefeated Formula-Zero One racing champion. She is the chief pilot of the Dancouga Nova and the pilot of the Nova Eagle. Aoi also models as a side job. As the pilot of Nova Eagle, she is also the primary pilot of Dancouga Nova. Shortly into the series, she decides to quit racing as she doesn't feel she can balance it with piloting Dancouga, and becomes a model full-time.

A blue-haired, top-class Narcotics Investigator. She is the pilot of the Nova Liger. Kurara is experienced using hand-held firearms and is an expert in her profession. As a child, she and her mother were forced to witness her father beaten by thugs. Spurred on by her mother's comments that there was no such thing as justice, Kurara became the top policewoman in the country, and cleaned up the corrupt narcotics division in a year and a half.

A brown-haired, homeless man. He is the pilot of the Nova Rhino. Sakuya doesn't seem to care that he is unemployed and homeless. Instead, he enjoys living his life the way it is. Sakuya is the first to (unknowingly) use the original Dancouga's catchphrase "Yatte yaruze!" ("Let's do it!"), which catches on among the team before they even learn its origin. Later, he begins feeling inferior to the rest of the team as Nova Rhino's only function in Dancouga is the pivot foot, and desires a super-strong special attack to make up for it.

A blonde salaryman. He is the pilot of the Nova Elephant. Johnny was a promising white-collar worker. He enjoys cooking, and reads many men's magazines, giving him a surprisingly wide and varied knowledge base. During their first mission, Sammy give him the nickname "Clark Kent", which he dislikes. Johnny is also the first to realize that the Dancouga teams seem to be selected based on the Japanese blood type personality theory - each team consists of an A, a B, an O, and an AB.

The commander of the Dancouga team, Tanaka is shown to know more than he lets on, but seems to genuinely care for the team's well-being. He gives the team their missions and answers their questions to the best of his ability - though all too often, the team is called into battle before he can give proper answers.

Roo Riruri Шаблон:Voiced by

A 15-year-old psychiatrist and member of the Dancouga team, she displays a surprising level of maturity for someone her age. However, she becomes easily annoyed if her name is mispronounced. She cares for the team's mental health, and like Tanaka, tries to answer their questions as best she can. Her name and character traits seem to be a play on Ruri Hoshino from Martian Successor Nadesico, and she makes a reference to this in one instance by saying something similar to Hoshino's favorite phrase.

Sammy Шаблон:Voiced by

The chief engineer in charge of Dancouga Nova, she has a flirty, playful personality and tells the team before each mission to look out for her "baby". Later, it is revealed that she often has brief, unfulfilling relationships, and focuses on Dancouga as it, unlike a man, can't hurt her feelings. When Sakuya asked her for a private conversation shortly afterwards, she seemed surprised and interested - until it turned out that he only wanted to talk shop, annoying her greatly.

Mister F.S. Шаблон:Voiced by

Also named Fog Sweeper, This mysterious, long-haired man is the overall commander of the Dancouga Nova project. Initially, he only communicates with Tanaka, but the Dancouga team meets him at a party in episode 6, in which he reveals that Dancouga is modeled after a legendary Super Robot that protected Earth from an inhuman threat.

Isabelle Cronkite Шаблон:Voiced by

She is a Dancouga-obsessed reporter. She later became a supporter of Dancouga.

Ada Rossa Шаблон:Voiced by

She is an idol and love interest of Johnny Bernet. Later, it is revealed that she is the pilot of R-Daigun.

Mecha

Dancouga Nova

The Dancouga Nova is the unit developed for the Dancouga Nova Project. Its appearance is the same as its predecessor, the Dancouga, other than the fact that the mecha get a newer design from the older models. The Dancouga Nova is a combination of four separate machines, which are the Nova Eagle, Nova Rhino, Nova Liger, and the Nova Elephant. In which each of these mecha have three different transformations; Humanoid, Beast, and Vehicle types. Dancouga Nova's weaponry include an unnamed punch which is loaded with energy, the (Dankuu Hou　断空砲 lit: Slash/Sever Space Cannon), which is an array of cannons that can be fired all at once and are used as Dancouga Nova's main weapons, the Missile Detonator, two missile launchers, (Dankuu Ken 断空剣 Slash/Sever Space Sword), an atomic-vibration blade that is one of Dancouga's strongest weapons, and the Boost Nova Knuckle, which Dancouga Nova launches its right arm. The unit can only be piloted by Aoi through a direct motion tracing system.

Each of the separate Nova mecha combine to form the Dancouga Nova:

• The Nova Eagle forms the head of the Dancouga Nova. Its design and data is based on the Eagle Fighter.
• The Nova Rhino forms the left foot of the Dancouga Nova. Its design and data is based on the Land Liger.
• The Nova Liger forms the right foot of the Dancouga Nova. Its design and data is based on the Land Cougar.
• The Nova Elephant forms the body of the Dancouga Nova. Its design and data is based on the Big Moth.

The Dancouga Nova can also go into its second mode called Dancouga Nova God Beast Mode when its Aggressive System is activated. This changes the unit's color to gold and became a beast-like mecha due to the beast modes of all four machines. Aoi unlocked this mode in episode 9 and Its powers is so intense and above the scale that it needs the whole team to pilot it. This mode ends up as a last resort to the whole team.

D-Phoenix

The D-Phoenix is a transport airship that transports the Dancouga Nova units to their destination of their missions. Very little is known of this aircraft.

D-Poseidon

The D-Poseidon is a submarine that can turn into a large robot that first premiers in episode 8 and can fly in space in the last episode.

Dragon's Hive

A large dragon battleship. It first appears in Episode 1 as the main building on Dragon's Hive Island, the main base of operations of the team, but in episode 11 it launches when the island around it is destroyed. It is based on Gandor from the original series, and like the Gandor it is both capable of powering up Dancouga (by enabling the transformation to Max God) and firing a massive cannon from its mouth.

R-Daigun

The fifth unit of Dancouga Nova Project developed alongside the 4 main machines. A red Mecha similar to the predecessor, the Black Wing, the unit has both Humanoid, Beast, and Vehicle types. It is also equipped with a stealth capability that allows it to disappear and prevents it from being detected. Its attack capabilities were just like Dancouga Nova and it is equipped with newer weapons like the Dan-Stinger a pair of machine guns with one in each wrist, the Dan-Blade and its twin lancer form Dan-Blade Twin used for close combat, the Absolute Hurricane which fires a jet of wind that can blow away certain enemies.

Its pilot is Ada and its first appearance is in Episode 4. It was then reclaimed by the Dragon's Hive after she defected from the enemy side.

Dancouga Max God

The combination between Dancouga Nova and R-Daigun, this is the final unit of the Dancouga Nova Project based on the Final Dancouga's data. Due to the combination of both units, the Dancouga Max God is the strongest of all the Dragon's Hive's machines as well as giving it an improved flight capabilities. Its armaments are similar to Dancouga Nova but with more attacks: including the (Final Dankuu Hou ファイナル・断空砲), which fires two powerful beam cannons on its back, the Missile Detonator, firing several missiles to the enemy, the Dan-Blade Shot, which fires two Dan-Blades in a boomerang-like fashion, and the Dankuu Dangai Ken 断空弾劾剣　lit: Slash/Sever Space Judgment Sword), the unit's finishing attack.
