Oscha appears as living shadow of a figure with no legs and arms, though arms do protrude from his near-formless body from time to time. He wears a white mask over his face, and his mad eye can usually be seen when the camera pans up close to him. It is apparently revealed that Oscha is in truth a part of Chaos like the Earl, and does the job of ensuring that Chaos is fed constantly with dark emotions. Oscha is able to bring things to life; such as seen with his work on Crux, the puppet used to spy on the protagonists, and also revive dead people; such as seen with Madoushi.

From the very beginning, Oscha knew of Ai and Yu's true nature, creating Crux and altering the clock on Chobi's neck to pinpoint the twins' exact locations while having them experience the various horrors and tragic event across the series, maturing them so when they can be fused with the Earl, Chaos would reach its zenith and evolve. But the plan failed and Oscha falls down into Chaos as his mask is cracked, but he survived. In FFU:After, Oscha helped to revive what remained of Gaudium and search for new Lords of Guadium to replace those lost, leaving Soljashy to make Chaos Rulers, the Earl's successor, out of the Hayakawa Twins.

Fungus is virtually immortal, and will always reappear after losing a fight against Kaze, though as a 1/10 miniature of himself and must wait for some time before regaining his original stature.

When the Lords of Gaudium were sent to find the innate pieces of Omega, Fungus failed to find any. Fungus was desperate to impress the Earl, losing his trust from each losing battle. However, Oscha offers to give Fungus a edge against Kaze by bring him to what remained of his homeworld. There Fungus draws power from his homeworld during his fight with Kaze, regenerating into a giant. However, though he was winning, the Earl and Oscha planned to dispose of the useless Fungus by using the same mold that destroyed his world to finish the job and infect him. Seeing him in misery, Kaze ended his suffering with Fungus thanking him in his final moments and acknowledging him to be the better man.

• Voiced by: Kana Ueda (Japanese), Jessica Smolins (English)

In the end of the anime, Herba falls into Chaos, but in FFU:After, it's revealed that she actually survived to become Princess Herba. She assumes her role as Chaos' agent by using her plants to feed Chaos until the Hayakawa twins Yu and Ai assume their chosen role as Chaos Rulers.

• Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu (Japanese), Edwin Neal (English)

Pist Shaz XI (ピスト・シャーズ11世, Pisuto Shāzu Jūissei^?) is another of the four Lords of Gaudium, Pist played the role as an annoying villain quite well. A shark-humanoid with a body of water, its mouth is at the back. An arrogant, over-confident and boastful individual, Pist is also unfortunately intelligent, collecting the data from previous battles and analyzes them to prepare for the next one. He drives a convertible with a pool inside, and goes by his annoying laugh - shashasha! Pist resides in an underwater castle made of corals somewhere. Arriving to Gaudium while still busy on his project, Pist decides to handle Kaze, succeeding to steal Kaze's Magun's power but failed to use the Magun as his own. Though he lost, Pist's revealing Omega's stirring made up for it.

Pist later played a bigger role after the demise of Fungus, completing his masterpiece: The Ocean Puzzle, a Rubik's Cube like dimension that entrapped the protagonists, sending them to a part on Wonderland where they had to pass a challenge to continue or be destroyed. However, the protagonists manage to survive each of his puzzles, forcing him to confront them when they arrived to Telos.

Using Blue Elenium, a compound made of Elenium, Pist was able to alter the summons called upon by Kaze; in this case, he turned the Giga Phoenix into a destructive summon that starts to destroy Telos, much to the Earl's dismay. However, Makenshi appears and destroys the summon with his Mist powers, and Pist was forced to retreat in spite of Telos' destruction ensured. Back in his lair, Pist was almost about to gather all the Omega crystals within his Ocean Puzzle when Makenshi intervened. Though confident in himself, Makenshi defeats Pist by turning him into Mist, using Pist as Mist Dragon to destroy the Ocean Puzzle, causing all the Omega crystals but Clear to be destroyed, forestalling the Earl's evil plans.

Madoushi

• Voiced by: Hideyuki Tanaka

Madoushi (魔道士^?) is the older brother of Makenshi, looking similar except for his red clothes and hair. Originally his younger brother's only friend, Madoushi taught Makenshi everything he knew in the art of combat. Much to Madoushi's dismay, however, Makenshi outdid him in swordsmanship. As a result, Madoushi felt himself to be in his younger brother's shadow and wanted to see who was stronger, even after he died when Chaos attacked their world to prove himself stronger.

He initially appears as part of Oscha's plot to stall the protagonists on the Ocean Puzzle, however it was to feed Chaos with Makenshi's horror of facing his own brother as Madoushi had intended to see once and for all who was the greater brother. But Makenshi was reluctantly forced to take his brother down for good. Makenshi still thinks about Madoushi, wondering if his brother intended the fight to go that way.

After Chaos is defeated, Crux discovered Madoushi's grave in the ruins of Misteria. There she discovers a crystal that contained Madoushi's power, and by instinct sought to give it to Makenshi. With the crystal, Makenshi receives his brother's power.

Crux (クルクス, Kurukusu^?) is a small fairy marionette brought to life by Oscha whose job it is to spy on Kaze the Hayakawa twins Yu and Ai. She will then report her findings to Oscha or whichever of the Lords of Gaudium is around.

Crux's entire vocabulary is made up of "kukuruyu". Periodically abused by the Lords of Gaudium, Crux developed feelings for Makenshi when he saved her life. Crux rebelled against Oscha and helped the protagonists during the battle against Chaos Tyrant.

After the battle, Crux carried Makenshi away and tended to his wounds. She later becomes his traveling companion. Crux was damaged by Crux Number-2 when she found Madoushi's grave. Crux received a gem from Makenshi's older brother Madoushi, which contains his very power, from his grave. From this Makenshi learns the mist powers of his brother, and Crux is able to transform into the Cross Sword, Makenshi's secondary weapon.

• Voiced by: Ken Narita

He and Lisa were once in love, but he has been captured by Herba and now works for Chaos as Soljashy. He fights by sticking his business cards onto objects, transforming them into monsters. Despite everyone's attempts to restore Soljashy to his former self, the man who was once Dolk is no more — Soljashy is merely a parasitic entity using Dolk's body and feeding on the man's life. The real Soljashy is the briefcase his host carried. Soljashy is charged with the task of having Ai & Yu assume their "rightful" positions as the Chaos Rulers by any means needed, even using those they care about to his advantage.

He succeeds in making Gaudium and Chaos a beacon of hope and light for those in despair, winning the loyalty of most of the world while promoting egotism for Chaos to feed. However, he is mortally wounded by Makenshi and blasted by Kaze. Dolk is freed, though on the brink of death due to Soljashy taking most of his life. Kaze kills Dolk despite Lisa's pleas. Dolk becomes the soil Chain Gold.

Clear

• Voiced by: Hikaru Midorikawa

A bluish iridescent boy with green hair, Clear (クリア, Kuria^?) is a quiet and shy person who's actually the heart of Omega. He ended up in Teros where he stayed until Bolbol made him a cloak of Flying Water to cover his entire body and hold his power at bay. Clear hates himself for destroying everything he touches.

It was by fate that he encounters Ai after she had fallen off the submarine in the Ocean Puzzle. Clear tried to steer clear of Ai out of fear of killing her by accident. At that moment, Pist sends his minions; three strange creatures, to hunt down Clear. They manage to find him, but Clear successfully flees with Ai. Safe in a cave, Clear introduces himself to Ai as a part of Omega, in search of his "siblings", which are the Omega pieces. Kaze then discovers the two and attempts to destroy Clear because of his nature, but Ai objects. Just then, Pist's three minions appeared again, and caught Ai. Clear manages to save her, but his glove came off in the struggle, unleashing his destructive power. Ai was then saved by Lisa and Yu on Chobi, leaving Clear behind to be caught.

Later, when Clear was last piece of Omega in existence, he was fused with his Flying Water suit to create a stable crystal for Earl Tyrant to absorb. In the series aftermath, Clear's crystal is retrieved by Crux and given to Makenshi in FF:U After, who entrusts it to Ai in the After Spiral.
