Foils and Counterparts

Reka and Satoshi

They are close to the same age.
Both of their fathers are of high rank in the Llanian army.
Both of them are highly-skilled fighters.
Reka rebels against his abusive father, while Satoshi goes to any means necessary to emulate his.
They are both upper-class. Satoshi carries the upper class's prejudice against the lower class, while Reka goes out of his way to protect them.

Sound like quite the explosive combination? When these two fiery-tempered fighters butt heads, the sparks really fly! And since Satoshi views Reka as his rival, they are always at odds.

Takeshi and Shuichi

Both are leaders in their own right.
Both are intelligent and caring.
Takeshi is three years younger than Shuichi.
Takeshi is somewhat clumsy, while Shuichi has strong athletic ability.
Takeshi has slightly more charisma than Shuichi, but Shuichi is more down-to-earth.

They're really good friends and exchange information with each other.

Sora and Reka

Both are guardian characters whose priority is defending their teammates, even if that means giving up their lives. Both of them can be reckless in that respect.
Both are stubborn.
Both of them have a soft spot for Shiori.
Sora is two years younger than Reka.
Reka is very outspoken (which at times backfires on him), while Sora almost never raises his voice -- he doesn't even talk much.
Sora is considerably more mellow than Reka.

They complement each other in battle and get along well when they're together.
