A navibot that was part of the Nirvana as far back as the colonization era. After being overloaded with an intense electric shock, Pyoro becomes self-aware, spontaneously saying his own name quite often, even when he's not in conversation. He's often seen around either Hibiki or Parfet with the latter using him as a conduit to the Piksis. Pyoro's emotions appear to reflect the state of the ship, acting sick whenever there is something wrong with the Nirvana.  When Ezra is discovered to be pregnant, Pyoro becomes overly curious about babies and how humans are born. When Ezra's baby is born, Pyoro takes on the role of nanny and is determined to have everyone call her Pyoro2, despite the fact that Ezra already named her Calua. During the Nirvana's second battle with a harvester mothership, Pyoro becomes the core of Super Vandred or "Vanfread Pyoro".

Life sucks for Hibiki. Intergalactic society has broken into civil war between males and females; he's stuck on the assembly line for war mecha, relentlessly teased by his co-workers and unable to pursue his dreams of building his own mecha one day. He finally decides he's had enough though, and attempts to break in and steal a mech for his own purposes; this turns out to be a bad idea, thrusting him into the middle of a fever-pitch space battle that brings him face to face with the enemy and launches him into an adventure that will change his mundane life forever.

Vandread Gekitouhen (Vandread Turbulence), similiar to Vandread Taidouhen, is an OVA summary of Vandread the Second Stage plus several extra scenes

Vandread The First Stage (season one) was immediately followed up by this TV special. This TV special, also known as Vandread Taidouhen Stage (The Movement Stage) was a recap of the first 13 episodes with additional footage. So, Vandread Taidouhen is not really a bridge between Vandread The First Stage and Vandread The Second Stage (season two). It was made to bring new viewers up to date as to what happened during the first season
