• Bhallaldeva – He's the son of Queen Shivagami and Lord Bijjaladeva. He is also a contender for the throne and wants to rule the kingdom with an iron fist.
• Sivagami – She is the mother of Bhallaldeva and the wife of Bijjaladeva. She rules over the kingdom since Vikramadeva's death but never occupies the throne herself.
• Kattappa – He is an exceptional warrior and a loyal commander of the Mahishmati kingdom's army. He often comes to the rescue of people in trouble, be it Mahishmati subjects or the royal family itself.
• Bijjaladeva – He is the father of Bhallaldeva and the husband of Shivagami. Motivated by greed and power, he wants his son to succeed and claim the throne and doesn't fancy Baahubali at all.
• Pradhan Guru – He is a royal teacher and a skilled fighter as he took on both Baahubali and Bhallaladeva together in a fight employed by Sivagami to train the princes in the art of combat and leadership, however, is later proved to be a traitor when both the princes and Shivagami foil his plans of destroying Mahishmati. He is later thrown out of Mahishmati.
• Varaah – Varaah was the King of the Rudragni Kingdom. He was an evil prince who had his father killed by his sister Yamagni and hence came to the throne. He allied with Mahishmati, however, he was a clever prince who wanted to capture Mahishmati, however, he was killed in that attempt by Yamagni. Varaah also had a village girl as a wife and an illegitimate son, however, he kept his identity hidden from them, and their identity from others.
• Yamagni – Yamagni is the sister of Varaah and the Queen of the Rudragni Kingdom. Unlike her brother, she is a kind-hearted and brave person, who loves Bahubali, however, they have to separate ways. Yamagni had earlier mistakenly killed her father. Yamagni earlier had to work for Pradhan Guru reluctantly, because he blackmailed her. However, after Pradhan Guru is kicked out, she becomes free. Then Rajamata Shivgami again emotionally blackmailed her about Bahubali. She later kills her brother Varaah (who wanted to conquer Mahishmati) and becomes the Queen.
• Avinash – He is a good friend of both the princes, Bahubali and Bhallaladeva. However, Bahubali proves to be his true friend whereas Bhallaladeva uses him for his motives and later kills Avinash, betraying him.
• Sujata – Sujata is the intelligent princess of the Jwalarajyam Kingdom, a kingdom known to be the 'garden of knowledge' and has no army. Bahubali helps Jwalarajyam defeat the robbers' army and also befriends Sujata, hence allying with them. Sujata has helped Bahubali numerous times, including the Siege Of Mahishmati by Kalpana Devi.
• Dharmraj – Dharmraj is the self-proclaimed son of Jayadeva, the alleged elder brother of King Somadeva, however, his false stories are exposed, and he is overthrown.
• Zoraver – Zoraver is the slave-turned-king of Barigaza who faced many hurdles and overcame many opponents to assemble a large army and have such a high position, whom even Bahubali fails to defeat. However, he is a compassionate and kind king who is impressed with Bahubali's valor and becomes Mahishmati's ally. He helps them to defeat Dharmraj. He has a wife Ranatadevi and a son, Karan Singh.
• Mahabali – Mahabali is the leader of an unnamed tribe and an old friend of Kattappa. He later retires and places his son Bheemdutt as the leader.
• Kalpana Devi – Kalpana Devi is the Queen of Agarta Kingdom. She is a very cruel queen and envious of men because earlier, her loving husband Shrutsen (King of Agarta) had been killed by the ministers who had allied with Bijjaladeva. Her army only consists of warrior women. She also wielded the Hachiman Sword of her husband, Shrutsen. She has previously massacred many kingdoms, including Amaram, Kalekeyas, and Zoraver's army. She wages war on Mahishmati for revenge with Bijjala, but fights as a courageous woman and is killed by Shivagami in the battle. She requests Bahubali and Co. to return the Hachiman Sword to Nippon, which they do.
• Paramhans – Paramhans is the king of Amaram Kingdom. He is an ally of Mahishmati (by striking vicious deals with Bhallaladeva) and wants to take revenge on Bahubali who had earlier killed his son for saving Aakanksh due to some reasons. Paramhans and his kingdom are later destroyed by Kalpana Devi.
• Ayesha – Ayesha is the leader of another tribe of sea pirates. She succeeded as their leader after she mistakenly killed Kaalakhanjar (her father) instead of killing Bahubali when the latter visited him and they befriended each other. Hence, she is envious of Bahubali and is Mahishmati's enemy. She joins hands with Kalpana Devi to attack Mahishmati, however, realizes Bahubali's good nature and again allies with Mahishmati.
• King Torra – King Torra was a warlord in the kingdom of Nippon, and the enemy of another warlord, Ukami. They used to continuously fight each other for winning Nippon, but none would ever win. Torra's army was destroyed by Ukami but they failed to capture him as Bahubali and his friends took him away. Torra and Ukami later met each other for the final fight, in which Ukami and Torra both are killed. Torra's son Shinji becomes the King of Nippon.
• King Ukami – King Ukami was a warlord in the kingdom of Nippon, and the enemy of Torra. They used to continuously fight each other for winning Nippon, but none would win. Ukami destroyed Torra's army but failed to capture him as he was taken away. Ukami and Torra later fight and kill each other. Hence, Shinji becomes the King of Nippon.
• Shinji/Karasu-san – Shinji is the long-lost son of Torra. The former had left Torra because the latter had attacked him in a rage when he was a child. Shinji later adopts the name Karasu San and becomes the leader of the Tengu tribe. He also befriends Bahubali, and later becomes the King of Nippon, wielding the Hachiman Sword.
• Kensai – Kensai is a great warrior, who specialized in sword-fighting. He, in the past, wielded the Hachiman Sword, but later found a brave and kind-hearted king, Shrutsen of Agarta Kingdom, and gave it to him. Bahubali and Co. come to Nippon to return the sword to its worthy master.
