The source for translation is here. Be warned thou, there's a looooot of discussion going on there so if you want to avoid further spoilers from what is not known outside of TV previews and Anipoke_PR content, check at your own risk!
(Oh and to help out localized name-only knowledged people here: Chili is Rika, Hassaku is Hassel and Aoki is Larry)
Larry(Aoki) might not be having his voice provided by the dimension-hopping man with a magical bird but in a weird way an isekai has still managed to balance itself out as far as my judgement is concerned on this matter.As a refresher the anime counterpart to Medali's gym leader is supposed to be voiced by Kohsuke Toriumi and as of learning about and watching the animated version to Salad Bowl of Eccentrics it looks like that's the source of this character named Suzuki.
His role in this series being that of a homeless man helping Livia who followed Sara from their original homeworld to Japan through the portal

[Blame It On The Beat] - Julio’s Unique Magic allows him to bring any inanimate object to life through physical touch. He can command the objects to perform any action he wants or leave them to their own business.
Personality
Julio is a fast talking, charming individual who often tries to wriggle his way out of situations with politeness. He’s a bit of a sly one but would much rather prefer to kick back and relax with his pals or take a girl out to dance than cause confrontation. He loves meeting new people and is very much an extrovert, often greeting them with friendly smile and a flurry of excitement!
Background
Júlio is the son of a pair of musicians who have become quite famous in orchestras and theaters for their talents. Júlio grew up in a musical household with a wonderful family, however, as he grew older he became a bit harder to handle and often tried finding his own “beat” out on the streets. Casually sneaking out at night to listen to street bands or music clubs play, leading him to get scolded quite often.
Trivia
He’s sometimes responsible for bringing girls from Sage Island’s town to the dance club, but doesn’t encourage his dorm members for fear of them getting in trouble.
Might upload a full character sheet once I get it, but I done made a Twisted Kida from Atlantis: Lost Empire. Outfit based on Kida’s casual attire in the movie.
Prince Argus Ojan Thalassa, Future Emperor of The Lost Undersea Kingdom of Atlantis. A prince who attends RSA, Argus is heir to an underwater empire of merpeople and atlanteans. While normally easy-going and reliable, even the strongest may have doubts about themselves now and again…
“Being mysterious to the rest of the world is one thing, but to be strangers to our own history feels a little odd, don't you think?”
Bio:
The history of Atlantis has always been a curious thread of lore lost to time. Growing up, it would not be uncommon for young Argus to see scholars visiting their city. He’d been surprised to realize that most citizens, including himself, did not know how to read the Atlantean language despite passing it down as a verbal dialect.
Argus grew an interest in learning more about the origins of his people; he’d asked frequenting scholars to teach him how to decipher their ancient script, explain their findings, and even to let him tag along on expeditions. It felt lacking to rule an empire of untold legends if even he, as its future king, was ignorant of their past. Argus had always been a dedicated learner, thus he thrived in his studies and especially combat training. But where there was care, insecurity bred - as much as Argus loved his home and spared no effort in developing his skills, he felt far from ready to assume the title of King anytime soon.
In a sense, this was where his time at Royal Sword Academy benefitted him most. It was like a breath of fresh air for Argus to act individually and earn merits with his own strength, reassuring himself of his capabilities. At some point in his research of Atlantean culture, Argus was met with the inquiry of how their history came to fade in the first place. There were theories that a time of great hardship came to pass, causing his ancestors to attempt and erase traces of their culture.
That raised the question: what did the prince think about erasing scars in such a way? Did he agree that easing the sting of a tragedy was a form of protection? Would he have approached it differently? For now, Argus decided that he did not have an answer yet. He would not rush into finding one, either; so long as he could reply by the time he’s been crowned, Argus would be content knowing he’d grown into a proper leader.
Age 17
DOB: June 15th
Third Year Royal Sword Academy Student
Born: Atlantis Empire, Under the Sea of Cape Sounion, West of the Coral Sea

“ Heart of Atlantis” Embodies the instinct to protect. Argus can create a magical barrier and make himself physically invulnerable for as long as his focus holds. The size of his shields may range, but his UM’s full capability is only unlocked in his home, where Argus is able to single-handedly power the city’s defense system during times of need.
