Achilles (アキレス Akiresu) is Ban Yamano's first LBX introduced in the Danball Senki series.

Summary

Achilles was first hinted in episode 2. During the Tiny Orbit board meeting, Yuusuke Uzaki revealed the data and schematics for the cutting-edge LBX, marked to be more advanced than previous LBX models. The only information they obtained about its creator was that their name was J.

The only model was sent to Kitajima's Model Shop, presumably for Ban. However, obeying Ren Hiyama's orders, Hanzou Gouda tricked Saki Kitajima into selling him the armor frame. After defeating the Devas, Ban and his friends reach Hanzou's hideout.

In episode 3, Hanzou gives Ban the frame. He attaches the frames and armaments onto AX-00, officially completing Achilles. However, to keep the armor, Achilles must win against Hakai-O and his friends' LBX are allowed to assist him. Thankfully, Achilles proves to be skilled in attack, defense, and, speed, allowing it to easily outmaneuver Hakai-O. Ban's determination to win helped him mastering Achilles, blocking Hakai-O's heavy sword with it's shield and striking a kick to knock it down. After Kunoichi destroyed Hakai-O's chest, Achilles finished it off with a lunging strike. Ban emerged victorius.

In episode 4, Achilles battled Egypt, Kazu's new LBX that secretly brainwashed him. Achilles' shield was destroyed, but it held it's ground against the Innovator's weapon until the sand from the desert diorama hindered its movements. After Egypt knocked it down, Achilles was assaulted with a barrage of slashes and, even with its automatic powers, it lost 70% of its health. As it reached 25%, Achilles suddenly glowed orange and escaped Egypt's grasp, activating V Mode. With its speed and power greatly increased, Achilles retaliated by punching and kicking, eventually stabbing Egpyt in the neck joints with its lance, rendering it unable to get up. Despite Ban's attempts to make V Mode stop, it was revealed to be automatic.

In episode 6, Achilles and Kunoichi were sent by Ban and Ami to defeat the hidden Deqoo in the building where Assassin was supposedly held. Achilles battled and destroyed two Deqoos. When Ban and his friends found the location of the true Assassin LBX, Achilles and Kunoichi are sent out again to battle. Achilles uses a gun, that it gained in episode 1 due to the lack of close rage, in tandem with Kunoichi's speed to win. As Assassin shockingly attacks Kunoichi and knocks it down, Achilles rushes to its aim, jumping and using its shield to blindside the Innovator's new weapon and strike with its new sword. Jackal chooses to self-destruct Assassin, making Achilles grab Kunoichi and narrowly avoiding the explosion.

In episode 7, Ban sends out Achilles to unlock doors in Kamiya Craft. After being spotted, Achilles fights several Deqoos LBXs in the air ducts. He's saved by Hunter, followed by Kunoichi, swiftly defeating all of the LBX. Before they can continue, another LBX appears.

In episode 8, the LBX is revealed to be an Inbit, whose attacks force Achilles to be on guard. Using its gun, Achilles lands a few hits, rendered ineffective by Inbit's tough armor. Ban orders Achilles to retreat while they commence a strategy to limit Inbit's AI processing. With the plan completed, Achilles returns into the air ducts to combat Inbit at close quarters. Holding it at stalemate from Inbit's left view, Kunoichi assists it by attacking the right view, holding Inbit steady for Hunter to shoot and destroy its camera. Carrying forward, Achilles opens another door blocking Ban and friends, battling several other Deqoos until they reach the ducts behind the control room, allowing Ban to overhear the conversation between Tougorou Kamiya and Heiji Kirishima. Achilles is sent back to Ban when the trio head downstairs. It's sent out again once Ban, Ami and Kazu are forced to combat the massive bulldozer Ishideus. Achilles is forced to dodge all of Ishideus' attacks, avoiding its crane arm several times and using its own maneuverability to avoid attacks. It tries to shoot Ishideus alongside Hunter but fails. As the rampaging bulldozer continues its onslaught, Achilles dodges several dangerous lasers that cut through the stone platforms, but is eventually caught under the rubble. Ishideus nearly reaches it when Kunoichi throws its daggers to narrowly help Achilles escape. When their owners reunite to combat Ishideus, Ban realizes the laser needs to charge before it can continuously fire, climbing up to the behemoth, but it's knocked aside due the spinning drill messing its trajectory from hitting the camera. Thankfully, the damage from the surface below prevents Ishideus from driving towards it and is saved through the efforts of Hunter and Kunoichi.

Achilles would be used by Ban Yamano to win many battles in later episodes up to the 25th episode, the most notable battles occurring in both the Artemis 2050 World tournament and the Ungra Visidas Underground tournament. Unfortunately, Achilles would meet its end at the hands of Emperor M2 during Artemis' Battle Royale, where it grabbed Achilles and self-destructed.

Much later, during the events of Danball Senki Wars, a new Achilles was used by Ban Yamano to fight Arata Sena's Achilles Deed. At the start of the fight, Achilles had the upper hand but both LBXs broke at the end due to them performing their Attack Functions.
