Personality[]
Athora is very modest and very protective of his Buddy Kanata, which is similar to Tasuku's and Jackknife's relationship. He doesn't appear to be a proud warrior like Jack, however, as he was perfectly content to simply hang out with Kanata and doesn't actively try to encourage him to find enjoyment in Buddyfighting though he was happy when Kanata found it on his own. This is seen both inside and outside of buddyfights, as he always encourages Kanata and plays with him, and by how he always announces that he will always protect him. Athora also shows a sporty side, because both he and Kanata love soccer.
