History
The "students" somehow got to know of Gridman before the series started.

The first of the team to come in contact with the Gridman Alliance was Samurai・Calibur, who watched over Yuta, and then visited Gridman in the Junk Shop to give him an optimization upgrade and then transform into the Assist Weapon, Gridman Calibur, to slay Dévadadan.

When Anti appeared and defeated Gridman, the rest of the team went to meet up with Samurai・Calibur, who was previously defeated along with Gridman. When the battle was over, Gridman revealed their identities to Yuta and Sho. They continue to help Gridman and Yuta throughout the course of the series. They also watch over the Gridman Alliance when they are off duty.

Noticing that the enemy's activity was increasing, the four of them went to Tstsujidai high school too keep a lookout, but they were chased out and reported. They later sortied together to form Full Powered Gridman to put an end to Mecha Ghoulghilas. They later formed Powered Zenon, which made quick work of Bujack.

Standard Abilities

 * Selective Attention: Something about them blocks out attention from others, allowing them to move freely without the risk of looking suspicious. However, if they do something too drastic, people will notice.
 * Transformation: Each of them has an Access Code which allows them to transform into Assist Weapons to fight alongside Gridman.

Trivia

 * Assist Weapon Designer: Takeshi Nonaka
 * All their names are based off of the English names of the Assist Weapons in Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad.
 * The name of their team is a (rather clear) reference to Neon Genesis Evangelion.
 * The brooches on their vests are references to patterns on the Dinobots from Transformers Age of Extinction, mainly patterns that appear on their toys. Their weapons are also styled similar to the aforementioned Transformers' weapons.
 * Unlike the original Assist Weapons, each of them is capable of combining with Gridman individually, with the exception of the Gridman Sword/Gridman Calibur due to their nature as hand-wielded weapons.
 * The tunnel of light that they travel through to get to Gridman is reminiscent of the same path that the original Gridman and Assist Weapons use to enter combat.
 * Powered Zenon takes elements from various mecha:
 * It is God Zenon's counterpart, with the components arranged in a different order.
 * The faceplate resembles Goldymarg's from GaoGaiGar.
 * The Jumbo Saber Slash's name is a reference to Jumbo Saber from The Brave Fighter of Legend Da-Garn. It should be noted that a repainted Jumbo Saber figure served as Ippei Baba's inspiration for God Zenon's design.
 * The word 'Powered' in its name may have come from Powered Convoy, the original name for the toy that would become Ultra Magnus from the Transformers franchise.
 * The real life inspiration for God Zenon's design was Optimus Prime, who was known in Japan as Battle Convoy, or just Convoy. Additionally, Max's voice actor had once voiced an incarnation of Optimus Prime (called Grand Convoy in Japanese) in Transformers Energon (ja: Superlink).
 * According to the voice drama episodes:
 * All of them are Hyper Agents.
 * They are apparently quite rich.
 * Each of them has their own home to live in.
 * The name of their group is simply a title, chosen in memory of junior high students who protected the world at the turning of the century. These students may or may not be Naoto Sho, Yuka Inoue and Ippei Baba.
