The series is set in Enoshima, Japan, where a group of middle-school students from the prestigious Private Enoshima Academy is selected to participate in the special "Element Class". Unaware to the public, the elements secretly fight monsters from other dimension that threaten to destroy the universe piloting the "Vector Machines", airships that can combine into the legendary giant, "Aquarion". Soon the elements discover the reason why they were chosen to pilot Aquarion and the connection between them, as all of them are reincarnations of mythic beings from 12,000 years ago.
The main characters of the series who use their powers to pilot the vector machines and form Aquarion. Each of them is notable for the total lack of a specific emotion that they barely recover during the process of unification. The Vector Machines are named after runes: Sigel, Feoh and Tir whose appearance, powers and abilities are similar to Vectors Sol, Luna and Mars from the original Genesis of Aquarion respectively.
Toshi's close friend. He lacks the emotion of empathy, usually making seemingly cruel or senseless remarks with no intend of harm. He pilots Vector Tir.
A childhood friend of Sakko and Momohime. She lacks the emotion of self-preservation and because of it, she always put herself in harm's way to protect others. She apparently dies during the beginning of the series. She piloted Vector Feoh in her first and last sortie.
Sayo's younger sister who constantly attacked her and almost killed her on a few occasions. This occurred because she lacks the emotion of hatred which makes her attacking the people she loves as a misplaced sign of affection.
