Benkei (ベンケイ?) serves as Yoshitsune's beautiful and skilled second-in-command. She is frequently depicted as a panther, reflecting her fighting style and aggressive demeanor both in and out of combat, and remains completely loyal to Yoshitsune and Trident. During Ikki's hospitalization, she takes on the role of trainer and additional member for Kogarasumaru. In a match against a rival team, she battles Sleeping Forest's Water Queen, Om, and ultimately defeats her with some assistance from Kazu. Recently, she is observed delivering Yoshitsune's bloodied "Ram Jet" Regalia to Kogarasumaru's headquarters, having lost her right leg. Upon completing this mission, she breaks down in tears. It is revealed that she was the sole survivor of the Battle of Osaka, where Genesis exterminated Trident. Benkei actually severed her own leg using a blade concealed within her Panther Corsa weapon to escape the mecha that held her captive. She survives the blood loss because she is a proclaimed vegetarian.
