History Characters / FutureDiarySupportingCharacters

* HalfTruth: When Yukiteru asks him to revive Rea, Deus replies than it's impossible. When questioned why that is so, he states that he's dying and losing his power. While he doesn't outright lie, the way he phrases his reply makes it look like it's only impossible for him in particular and that the new god will be able to revive Rea; he doesn't mention that even a god would only be able to revive the body but not the soul. As his later conversation with Akise shows, it's not that Deus himself isn't aware of this.

* KickTheDog:
** When he tells the truth to Akise about being an ArtificialHuman, Akise declares that his love for Yukiteru is genuine. Deus, who is nearly finished in returning Akise to the AkashicRecords, tells Akise that those feelings were also programmed into him. Given that Akise is very serious about his love for Yukiteru, it's a low blow, even if it ended up being true.
** He also seriously considers following Eleventh's suggestion to remove Yukiteru and Yuno from the game when they fail to show any activity for five consecutive days. Given that Deus was pressed for time in choosing his successor before he dies, this ends up being more of a KickTheDog moment for Eleventh than Deus.

* GodIsFlawed: He leans a bit closer to this in that he wants the survival game to play out fairly between the players and without outside intervention from himself or Mur Mur, and honestly can't see the problem in it so long as he's kept entertained and his successor is chosen. He is also very willing to [[spoiler:cancel the whole game entirely]] when John Balks decides to stop the Future Diary Project from developing further in the 3rd-world.

* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Named for the [[Literature/ArsGoetia Goetic demon]] Mur Mur. She also carries a small trumpet on her hip to reinforce the namesake. She eventually wears a crown just like the Mur Mur from myth is said to wear after Deus' death.
** Goes a level deeper: the name can be read as the Hebrew word for both "Whisper" and "Frustration", both of which [[spoiler: hint at her true nature.]]

* OurDemonsAreDifferent

** [[spoiler: She's also much less adorable in her true form, especially with RedEyesTakeWarning.]]
** More evident in ''Paradox''. Her {{jerkass}} personality seems to be directed at Akise only to the point that it makes it seem like she's homophobic. Heck, she goes as far as calling him a fag in ''Paradox''. In the main series, she shows her true personality after [[spoiler:Deus dies]].

* EnigmaticMinion: Towards the middle of the story, Mur Mur starts hinting that she knows more than she lets on, perhaps more than Deus, and [[spoiler:manipulates the game accordingly. Her true purpose isn't revealed until the full story about Yuno being Mur Mur's real god comes to light.]]

* CovertPervert: Towards Hinata.

* LipstickLesbian: Towards Hinata.

* KingOfAllCosmos: [[spoiler:Not as completely immortal as most.]]

* TheOmniscient: While he is God, the [[ScryVsScry unstable nature]] of the Survival Game means he cannot keep track of everything. [[spoiler:So he uses an ArtificialHuman which he calls The Observer to record the events of the game, to check on the participants and investigate any irregularities which may endanger the game.]]
** For example when he noticed that the Tenth has hidden himself from the game, [[spoiler:the Observer was sent to check on him]].
** Another is when Second digs a big pit and has buried something in her home. [[spoiler:The Observer was sent to investigate what she was trying to hide. Later revealed to be three corpses, two were Second's parents and the third is later revealed to be the Second belonging to this timeline. Deus deduces from this the nature of the Second, and plans accordingly.]]

* BitchInSheepsClothing: She sets herself off up as a CloudCuckooLander as well as a BrattyHalfPint, [[spoiler: in reality, she's far more manipulative and malevolent]].

Yuki's mother who's usually away from home due to work. Despite this, she and Yukiteru are shown to have a stable and loving relationship. She approves of Yuno and Yuki as a couple, against Yuki's ignored protests. [[spoiler: She is killed when her ex-husband stabs her in desperation after he escapes the collapsing Sakurami Tower.]]

* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler:With the third Yuki in the 3rd-world.]]

* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite being a demon she's pretty nice and [[spoiler: sticks with Akise cause she likes him.]]

* KidSidekick: Serves as one alongside Reisuke to [[spoiler: Akise]].

!!Deus Ex Machina

The Lord of Time and Space who has called forth the Diary Holders to participate in a battle royale. [[spoiler:He is dying soon, so]] he wishes to pass on his power to the winner of the contest.

* AkashicRecords: He has it [[spoiler: as he planned to send Akise back since he served his purpose]].
* AllPowerfulBystander: Despite being a literal [[PhysicalGod divine level]] RealityWarper [[DimensionLord who controls everything about his dimension]], he does not directly interfere with the games for two reasons, 1) it's against the rules he's set up [[spoiler: only interfering when knowing someone is bypassing the rules]] and 2) [[spoiler: [[SecretlyDying he's slowly decaying]]]].
* [[spoiler:BequeathedPower: Transfers half of his power to Minene.]]
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Honors and expects fair play within the games he supervises, but sees nothing morally wrong with conducting the survival game despite all the casualties it causes. He also likes to start wars for fun.
* [[spoiler: [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou Can't Let You Die, Still Need You]]: Deus saves Minene and gives her half of his power so she can stop Mur Mur and Yuno.]]
* CosmicKeystone: Without him, the universe collapses [[spoiler: made worse since he's SecretlyDying]].
* [[spoiler:DivineIntervention: He does this to prevent Minene's death.]]
* EnigmaticEmpoweringEntity: He gave the 12 holders their diary powers [[spoiler: as well as giving Minene half of his powers and a new arm]].
* [[spoiler:[[GodIsDead God Is Dying]]: Part of the reason why he created the survival game.]]
* GodIsFlawed: He leans a bit closer to this in that he wants the survival game to play out fairly between the players and without outside intervention from himself or Mur Mur, and honestly can't see the problem in it so long as he's kept entertained and his successor is chosen. He is also very willing to [[spoiler:cancel the whole game entirely]] when John Balks decides to [[spoiler:stop the Future Diary Project from developing further in the 3rd-world]].
* GodzillaThreshold: [[spoiler:Upon learning that Mur Mur purposely had the Fourth eliminated much earlier than planned, he becomes more cautious of her, and responds by placing the Observer [[note]]Akise[[/note]] on a more active role in the game.]]
** [[spoiler:Later, when it becomes glaringly obvious to Deus that Mur Mur is seen manipulating the game to go in Second's favor, it grows to the point that he had to rescue Minene from death and bestow her with half of his power to keep the game on track.]]
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:When Akise is able to prove his autonomy, Deus concedes that he is able to take his own actions and allows him back into the human world, able to change the game free of Deus' influence.]]
* HalfTruth: [[spoiler:When Yukiteru asks him to revive Rea, Deus replies than it's impossible. When questioned why that is so, he states that he's dying and losing his power. While he doesn't outright lie, the way he phrases his reply makes it look like it's only impossible for him in particular and that the new god will be able to revive Rea; he doesn't mention that even a god would only be able to revive the body but not the soul. As his later conversation with Akise shows, it's not that Deus himself isn't aware of this.]]

* JerkassGod: He sits back and lets the players kill each other, only interfering due to players not playing by the rules. He doesn't care about how the battle game will emotionally scar the Diary users. [[spoiler:He then deconstructs every choice of free will that Akise ever did, even his love for Yuki, that being all programmed.]]
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: When he tells the truth to Akise about being an ArtificialHuman, Akise declares that his love for Yukiteru is genuine. Deus, who is nearly finished in returning Akise to the AkashicRecords, tells Akise that those feelings were also programmed into him. Given that Akise is very serious about his love for Yukiteru, it's a low blow, even if it ended up being true.]]
** [[spoiler:He also seriously considers following Eleventh's suggestion to remove Yukiteru and Yuno from the game when they fail to show any activity for five consecutive days. Given that Deus was pressed for time in choosing his successor before he dies, this ends up being more of a KickTheDog moment for Eleventh than Deus.]]

* PalsWithJesus: Pretty much everyone who is able to visit the Hall of Causality is this to him since he's a pretty chill God. Special mention goes to Yukiteru though, whom Deus clearly favors over everyone else.
** Another is [[spoiler:with Balks as the two of them together founded the survival game.]]
* RulesLawyer: He puts a large emphasis on the rules [[spoiler: he found Tenth's avoidance to be a deviance from the game, so he planned accordingly, as well as planning against Mur Mur once it's clear that she favors Yuno.]]
* [[spoiler:SecretlyDying: The reason why he started the game in the first place.]]

* [[spoiler:YourDaysAreNumbered: By the time of the game, he was dying, so he wants the game to be completed as soon as possible.]]

-----

!!Mur Mur

Deus Ex Machina's servant, who takes the form of a dark-skinned little girl. [[spoiler: She is not as loyal to him as anyone was led to believe.]]

* AffablyEvil: [[TheGadfly Innocently messes around with each of the diary users]], [[spoiler: despite being a traitor to God and a follower of a crazed {{Yandere}}]].

* AntiHero [[HeroAntagonist Antagonist]]: [[spoiler: 3rd-world Mur Mur from the ''Redial'' OVA. She's simply trying to fulfill her duty as a loyal servant of Deus and 1st-world Mur Mur is a threat.]]

* [[spoiler:TheAtoner: In the ''Redial'' OVA, the 1st-world Mur Mur is trapped by the 3rd-world's incarnation with the first Yuno's memories. Through this she realises the enormity of pain she had caused and contacts the third Yuno via a keychain replica of herself to give her a proper happy ending.]]
* [[spoiler:BastardUnderstudy: Subverted in the end. It turns out she was loyal to Yuno, most likely because she became god in the 1st-world.]]

* BunnyEarsLawyer: She's a silly character for the most part (despite the occasional slip up, like the incident that sets up the storyline for ''Paradox''), but she knows how to do her job. [[spoiler:And she is '''a lot''' more competent and devious than she first appears.]]

* [[spoiler:ClippedWingAngel: Even after taking her OneWingedAngel form, its implied that it exhausted a lot of her strength, since she was easily taken down by her other still restrained self.]]
* TheDragon: [[spoiler:Towards the end, she fights off the [[EmpoweredBadassNormal empowered Minene]] while Yuno arranges her life in the 3rd-world.]]
* DragonInChief: [[spoiler:Even after Yuno took her place as the final boss, Mur Mur still seems more malevolent than her and tried to ensure Yuno's victory throughout the whole series while Yuno certainly didn't want to win the Survival Game again.]]

* FusionDance: [[spoiler: 1st-world Mur Mur did this and absorbed Yuno's corpse, inheriting her memories in the process.]]
* GameFace: [[spoiler:Her OneWingedAngel form in spades.]]

* [[spoiler:AGodAmI: She takes over after Deus dies.]]
* [[spoiler:TheHeavy]]
* HumongousMecha: [[spoiler:Created one of these to fight Minene in the ''Redial'' OVA.]]

* [[spoiler:JustBetweenYouAndMe: Shows Yukiteru the past events of the 1st-world right after Yuno starts to attack him to "make the game more interesting". Since she was working under Yuno, she was probably expecting him to die right after showing him the past world. And she would've been right had it not been for Minene's interference.]]
* MeaningfulName: Named for the [[Literature/ArsGoetia Goetic demon]] Mur Mur. She also carries a small trumpet on her hip to reinforce the namesake. She eventually wears a crown just like the Mur Mur from myth is said to wear after [[spoiler:Deus' death]].

* [[spoiler:NotSoHarmlessVillain: Especially when her shackles are taken off.]]
* [[spoiler:ObfuscatingStupidity]]
* [[spoiler:OneWingedAngel: The form she takes after destroying her bracelets, a gray skinned, deranged version of herself with RedEyesTakeWarning.]]

* RestrainingBolt: The bracelets she wears keep her from acting against Deus's will, [[spoiler:or so he thought. In Chapter 57, she takes them off. She was indeed serving God's will, but that God was not Deus.]]

* ShipperOnDeck: Kind of. [[spoiler:In the ''Redial'' OVA, her actions reunited Yuki and Yuno, showing that, to some degree, she does approve of their relationship, though she might not have really cared before.]]

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Violet Hair]]

-----

!!'''Aru Akise'''

* AllLovingHero: In ''Paradox''. [[spoiler: He does all in his power to prevent the many casualties that Yuno originally caused in the main series. This includes not involving anyone during Ninth's hostage situation and battling her on his own (albeit [[ButtMonkey using Mur Mur as a fake hostage]] as well), figuring out what the cult was planning to do to Sixth and save her, prevent Fifth from becoming murderous by saving his parents and making Twelfth realize that his view of the world is wrong and he can still redeem himself by saving another. He even gets to befriend Seventh and Eighth in said situation. Naturally, the only person who does not like this attitude one bit is Mur Mur.]]
** Also in the main series, but by proxy. [[spoiler: [[PassingTheTorch His dying message gives Yukiteru awareness of the]] AlternateTimeline, prompting Yukiteru to improve the lives of all the participants upon arrival in the 3rd-world.]]

* [[spoiler:AngelUnaware: He's later revealed to be the Observer, an ArtificialHuman specifically created by Deus to monitor the game from within.]]
* [[spoiler:ArtificialHuman: He's really the Observer created by Deus to monitor the game to prevent cheating.]]
* [[spoiler:BackFromTheDead: The ''Redial'' OVA imply that 3rd-world Akise is 2nd-world Akise.]]
* BadassAdorable
* BadassGay: While he claims he isn't gay, he has definite romantic feelings for Yukiteru, and he's a BadassNormal who can outsmart half the major cast.
* BadassNormal: He doesn't have a Future Diary, but he can still go toe-to-toe with Diary Holders.
** EmpoweredBadassNormal: [[spoiler:After he's revealed to be an ArtificialHuman created by Deus to observe the game, he receives the most powerful future diary of all through the Eighth's server system and uses it to become a terrifying opponent for even ''Yuno''.]]
* BarehandedBladeBlock: In the manga during [[spoiler:Yukiteru's and Yuno's last fight with Eleventh, he saves Eighth from Yuno by grabbing the blade of Yuno's sword when she's attacking her]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Akise rarely gets pissed off even when Yuno tries to kill him multiple times. [[spoiler: The only time he lost it was when he spared Yuno and she responds by calling Yuki and lying to him and manipulates him to kill his friends.]]

* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:His confrontation with Deus. It's a real shocker to find out that you're not even human and then denied the things that made you you. The pride in his detective skills as well as his love for Yuki were denied by God himself. Fortunately, he breaks out of this quickly.]]

* CrazyJealousGuy: Towards Yuki, but only when Yuno is involved and rather subtle compared to how Yuno is a ClingyJealousGirl for Yuki [[spoiler:until the final confrontation]].

* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler:Not even '''being completely beheaded''' stops him from giving Yukiteru a final warning about Yuno.]]
* DidntSeeThatComing: [[spoiler:Yuno having two Diaries. Of course no one besides Mur Mur or Yuno would have seen it coming.]]

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[spoiler:Akise briefly having Yukiteru's physical appearance at the beginning of the ''Redial'' OVA is almost definitely a [[MythologyGag reference to Paradox]].]]
* DramaticIrony: [[spoiler:He spends most of his run outsmarting diary holders with just his wits. When he gets his own diary Yuno outsmarts him and his diary with a clever BatmanGambit.]]
* [[spoiler:ExplainingYourPowerToTheEnemy: Reveals that he has a Child Diary at the very beginning of his final confrontation with Yuno, and soon after that explains what its power is as well. This makes it possible for Yuno to find a way to use that information against Akise himself, thus contributing to his ultimate defeat and death.]]
* {{Expy}}: His similarities to Kaworu of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' go way past the point of being unintentional. Like Kaworu, he's a [[MysticalWhiteHair white-haired]] guy voiced by Creator/AkiraIshida who seems to be in love with the meek main character, and turns out to be [[spoiler:an "angel" and later dies of decapitation]].
* [[spoiler:FirstLawOfResurrection: Despite the fact that the survival game never started in the 3rd-world and thus Deus didn't need an observer to keep up with it, Akise is shown to be alive and well in the 3rd-world in one of the closing panels of Chapter 59. The manga doesn't give any explanation for his recreation. In the anime, 3rd-world Deus is shown using Akise to gather information about the impact Yukiteru, Yuno, and Minene made on the 3rd-world, so he presumably recreated Akise for that purpose.]]
* [[spoiler:ForcefulKiss: Gives one to Yukiteru ''[[BullyingADragon right in front of Yuno]]''.]]
* GreatDetective: [[spoiler:In the ''Redial'' manga he goes on to become a world famous detective.]]

* HeroicResolve: [[spoiler:Even though he was deleted and Deus proved that everything he did was planned out as God's will, he decides to forge his own future from that point on, creates his own future diary with Eighth's server system, and [[DeclarationOfProtection swears to protect Yukiteru]].]]
* HeroicRROD: [[spoiler:When he confronts Deus on his own and finds out that he's an ArtificialHuman, he tries to prove that everything he had done up to that point wasn't programmed into him, but with each of Deus' rejections, his body decayed more and more as it was returned into Deus's AkashicRecords. When he finally tried declare that his love for Yukiteru was real, Deus rejected that as well, and said it was also something that he willed to happen as {{God}}.]]

* HopelessSuitor: Was in love with Yuki and even tried to pursue him, but it was quite clear that he was more interested in Yuno.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler:During his last meeting with Yukiteru he claims that not stopping him from killing Mao and Kosaka was necessary, because it meant that the future predicted by his diary wouldn't change and that he would manage to kill Yuno. It's never made clear whether the readers are supposed to agree with Akise that letting Mao and Kosaka die was really necessary.]]

* IGaveMyWord: Akise is one of the few characters that constantly tells the truth to Yuki and never breaks his promise to him. [[spoiler:But it was almost certainly averted with his promise to Kamado that he would't hand her over to Yukiteru in exchange for giving him a Child Diary. When Yukiteru found him after killing Mao and Kosaka, Akise was guarding the unconscious Kamado. As she was awake and running away from Yukiteru while his friends were stopping him just in the previous chapter, Akise must have been the one who caught her and knocked her out, as nobody else could have done that. And he almost certainly did that with an intention of letting Yukiteru kill her or even kiling her himself, as he already stated that he wanted Yukiteru to be god.]]
* ILetYouWin: [[spoiler: Implied to have intentionally lost to Yuno in the Redial OVA, as she finds the sword she took from him allowed her to go further in when her path was blocked.]]

* IncrediblyObviousTail: When tailing [[spoiler:Tenth]], and indeed he gets spotted.
* TheKidWithTheRemoteControl: [[spoiler: 3rd-world Deus gives Akise the demon [[Literature/ArsGoetia Gremory]] who obeys his every command and comes to like Akise.]]
* [[spoiler:LastKiss: More like a stolen kiss, but it was probably his first with Yuki as well as his last as Yuno kills him shortly afterwards.]]

* MysticalWhiteHair: His white hair certainly makes him look different from others. It later turns out [[spoiler:he isn't even human]].
* NiceGuy: One of the nicest characters in the series, [[BewareTheNiceOnes for the most part.]] [[spoiler: He didn't kill Yuno when he had the chance because of his better judgment. However, he soon regrets it, and she kills him.]]
* [[spoiler:NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Despite Akise sparing Yuno's life when he had the upper hand, she manages to trick his diary by forcing his blade into her abdomen, fulfilling his diary's prophecy and forcing him to waste his time in bandaging her wound so that she won't die, knowing that Yukiteru would lose his trust in Akise if he had allowed Yuno to bleed out. Once he runs to help the others, Yuno calls Yukiteru to lie to him about Akise and his friends, causing Hinata, Mao, and Kosaka to die as a result. Akise even relents that he should have killed her instead of letting her live.]]

* [[spoiler:OffWithHisHead: How he dies.]]
* [[spoiler:OutGambitted: To be fair, no one aside from Mur Mur knew Yuno had a second diary.]]

* RedEyesTakeWarning: He's a subversion of the trope as despite being a very subtle {{yandere}}, he's mostly a nice person overall. [[spoiler:DoubleSubverted in his final confrontation with Yuno; he went for the kill and was only thwarted when Yuno was revealed to be holding out the second Yuno's future diary for him to smash.]]
* ShipperOnDeck: Subverted. At first he seems to be pushing Yuki to go out with Yuno going as far as to set them up for a date that could very well make them closer than before. However, this is so he can [[spoiler:trespass Yuno's home hoping to dig up information that will make Yuki realize how much of a bad person she is]].
** [[spoiler:Possibly zig-zagged in the ''Redial'' OVA, given that he intentionally lost to the 3rd-world's Yuno, and knowing what would happen if she freed the 1st-world's Mur Mur.]]

* SingleTargetSexuality: Yukiteru-sexual. [[spoiler:Purposely made to be this way so that he would watch over Yukiteru for Deus.]]

** [[spoiler:He almost ruins Mur Mur's plans in ''Paradox'' by preventing the tragedies that happen to nearly all the characters.]]
** [[spoiler:In the main series, his dying message to Yukiteru serves as a catalyst which triggers the events leading to the final act.]]
* [[{{Deuteragonist}} Tetragonist]]: The fourth most prominent protagonist after Yuki, Yuno and Minene.
* ThouShaltNotKill: Unlike Yuno, Akise does all in his power to avoid killing someone. [[spoiler:This backfires on him in the end.]] May be from [[spoiler:his role as the Observer]].
* {{Yandere}}: Much more subtle than Yuno, but it seems to be there. While usually nice for everyone, he did prove on a few occassions that he's willing to sacrifice others for Yukiteru's sake. [[spoiler:Once, without knowing whether it'll kill him or not, he instructed Yukiteru to break Kosaka's Child Diary, to see what might happen to him and to prevent Eighth from getting information from Kosaka's diary. Yukiteru did as he was told without any objections. Thankfully, since Kosaka wasn't bound by the game like the other diary holders, he lived.]]
** Made even more obvious after [[spoiler:Hinata's death, when Akise's diary predicted that Yukiteru would also kill Mao and Kosaka. Despite arriving at the scene in time to prevent this, Akise decided to abandon them to their fates instead. When questioned about this decision by Yukiteru, he replied that his diary also predicted that he's going to kill Yuno in a few minutes, so he didn't want to do anything that might have changed that future.]]

-----

!!'''Hinata Hino'''

Another of Yuki's classmates, who quickly becomes friends with him. [[spoiler: She's actually the daughter of the Tenth Diary Holder, and is commanding the dogs in place of her father, because she's desperate for her father's approval. She borrows the "Breeder's Diary" at first.]] Later she receives her own Future Diary from Eighth's Diary, the "Friend Diary", which predicts her interactions with her friends.

* DarkMagicalGirl: She may not have the powers (unless you count the Diary), but she does have the personality and backstory.

* [[spoiler:FakingTheDead: As part of her ploy to [[HeKnowsTooMuch kill Akise]] to gain her father's trust.]]

* [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn]]

* [[spoiler:[[LikeFatherLikeSon Like Father, Like Daughter]]: In the 3rd-world the dogs are no longer what drives them apart, but rather they are what brings them together.]]

* ParentalNeglect: [[spoiler:Her father pays more attention to his dogs than her.]]

* WellDoneDaughterGal: She wants her father to acknowledge her.

-----

!!'''Mao Nonosaka'''

* [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn: It tends to be forgotten, but in the story arc when she was first introduced she held Yukiteru hostage at knife point and tried to kill him via Diary.]]
* [[spoiler:KnifeNut: At first, when she tries to stab Yuki, but she [[HeelFaceTurn she gets better]].]]

* PsychoLesbian: [[spoiler:Helps Hinata in her scheme to kill Akise, despite the fact that Hinata was only doing it to [[WellDoneSonGuy gain her father's approval]]. After Hinata apologizes for taking advantage of Mao's feelings, she actually tries to kill Yukiteru. Hinata herself doesn't really snap until [[MurderIsTheBestSolution Yuno stabs Mao]].]]

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]

-----

!!'''Ouji Kosaka'''

Yuki's classmate, who doesn't like him much (the feeling's mutual). He enjoys blogging on his cell phone, which inadvertently connects him to the Eighth's Diary. He gets the "Kosaka King Diary" while [[spoiler:attempting to rescue Yuki from Yuno.]] It predicts his "brilliant moments". Later in the series, it is upgraded to the "Neo Kosaka King Diary", which predicts the brilliant moments of the people around him as well.

* [[spoiler:DyingCurse: Gives one to Yukiteru before being shot by him.]]

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: To Yuki.

-----

!!'''Masumi Nishijima'''

* [[spoiler:BabiesEverAfter: His 3rd-world self with 2nd-world Minene.]]

* [[CareerVersusMan Career Versus Woman]]: Has to choose between doing his job as a policeman and later [[spoiler:being the Eleventh's bodyguard]] and his feelings for Minene. [[spoiler: He chooses Minene, and even proposes to her.]]

* [[spoiler:DoppelgangerReplacementLoveInterest: His 3rd-world self to Minene.]]
* TheDulcineaEffect: [[spoiler: Decides to throw away his career, betray his colleagues, and propose to a terrorist he's known for a very short amount of time.]]
* EngagementChallenge: [[spoiler: Minene gives this to him when confronting the Eleventh saying that he can take her hand in marriage if he can destroy the Eleventh's supercomputer. He succeeds.]]

* [[spoiler:GoodCopBadCop: With him as the good cop and Kurusu as the bad cop.]]
* [[spoiler:GoOutWithASmile: In the manga, the last thing he did before he died was give one final smile to Minene.]]
* [[spoiler:HappilyMarried: His 3rd-world self to 2nd-world Minene in the DistantFinale. Much to his chagrin, he still has to catch and arrest his wife's counterpart, who is still a terrorist.]]
* [[spoiler:LoveTranscendsSpacetime: Its implied that his feelings for Minene are carried over to his 3rd-world self. [[BabiesEverAfter Two years later they are married and have kids together]].]]

* TheSlacker: Shown to be like this during his time as a rookie [[spoiler:in the 3rd-world]]. He seems to be a more serious and competitent cop during the time of the actual story.
* [[spoiler:TakingTheBullet: Heartbreakingly, to protect Minene. Yuki gets blamed for it since he used Minene and Nishijima as decoys to clear the path ahead to go to John Balks.]]

-----

!!'''Rea Amano'''

* MeaningfulName: If Yukiteru is Jupiter, then Rea is his Titaness mother Rhea.

* [[spoiler:TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Probably one of the nicest characters in the show. Which was why she died.]]

-----

!!'''Kurou Amano'''

Yuki's father who left after a divorce years ago. He and Yukiteru are shown spending some father-son bonding after a long time since the divorce around 2/3 into the manga, where he is introduced. He really seems to care for Yukiteru and Rea [[spoiler: or so we are led to believe ([[DoubleSubversion until that is subverted too]]). He is killed by the Eleventh's henchmen.]]

* DirtyCoward: [[spoiler:He jumps out of a collapsing Sakurami Tower by ''stealing his son's parachute'' leaving him to die and then he stabs his ex-wife (which kills her) when she stops him from escaping because he's terrified that she'll tell the police he just left his son to die on a collapsing tower. However, he likely [[AccidentalMurder did not intend to kill his ex-wife]].]]

* ItsAllAboutMe: His most prominent flaw is that he puts himself and his own troubles before everyone else. [[spoiler:He shows up just to find and break Yuki's Diary so that the Eleventh will clear the '''3 million yen''' debt he owes. However, at least in the anime he doesn't realize that doing so will kill Yuki.]]
** [[spoiler:As a sidenote, that comes out to roughly $30,000 US dollars -- not all that unreal as debts go.]]

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: With all that said and done, [[spoiler:he didn't know that destroying the Diary meant killing his son. All he knew was that if he broke his son's cellphone, his debt would be wiped clean: that would give him the chance to go back to his family and make amends.]]
* MeaningfulName: Fitting with the rest of his family's ThemeNaming, "Kurou" resembles "Cronus". [[spoiler:Not to mention how he tries to kill his son...]]
* [[spoiler:OffingTheOffspring: He tries to destroy Yuki's Diary, although in the anime he doesn't realize that this will kill Yuki; in the manga it's not made clear whether he knows this or not.]]
* PetTheDog: After [[spoiler:he kills Rea and appears to be about to eliminate the evidence and escape]], we learn that [[spoiler:he had retrieved a telescope he had been previously forced to pawn so that he could gaze at the stars and calm himself before turning himself in. He also asks Yuki to start over with him when his sentence is over, to which he agrees.]] Despite [[spoiler:trying to sell Yuki out to the enemy, and murdering his mother]], it turns out those were just horrible mistakes that he never meant to happen and all he wanted was for the family to be happy... [[spoiler:[[RedemptionEqualsDeath and then he dies]].]]
* [[spoiler:RedemptionEqualsDeath: Yuki was willing to give him another chance after he turned himself and fulfilled his sentence, but the Eleventh's men killed him before he could do any of that. Ergo, Yuki forgave him completely and then freaks out on the murderers.]]

* VisitByDivorcedDad: [[spoiler: It wasn't for making up for lost times.]]

-----
!!'''Ushio and Saika Gasai'''

Yuno's [[spoiler:adoptive]] parents.

* [[spoiler:GoodParents: In the 3rd-world by the last episode.]]
* [[spoiler:HoistByHerOwnPetard: Saika's abuse is what drove Yuno insane and lead to her killing Saika and Ushio.]]
* [[spoiler:KarmaHoudini: Saika in the 3rd-world. She does become a lot more loving of Yuno, but she still doesn't face any punishment for locking her in a cage and feeding her grass over minor faults (like missing curfew).]]

* GodIsFlawed: He leans a bit closer to this in that he wants the survival game to play out fairly between the players and without outside intervention from himself or Mur Mur, and honestly can't see the problem in it so long as he's kept entertained and his successor is chosen. He is also very willing to [[spoiler:cancel the whole game entirely]] when John Balks decides to [[spoiler:stop the Future Diary Project from developing further in the third world]].

* [[spoiler:TheAtoner: In the ''Redial'' OVA, the first world Mur Mur is trapped by the 3rd-world's incarnation with the first Yuno's memories. Through this she realises the enormity of pain she had caused and contacts the third Yuno via a keychain replica of herself to give her a proper happy ending.]]
* [[spoiler:BastardUnderstudy: Subverted in the end. It turns out she was loyal to Yuno, most likely because she became god in the first world.]]

* TheSlacker: Shown to be like this during his time as a rookie [[spoiler:in the third world]]. He seems to be a more serious and competitent cop during the time of the actual story.

* MeaningfulName: If Yukiteru is Jupiter (see his section above), then Rea is his Titaness mother Rhea.

* DirtyCoward: [[spoiler:He jumps out of a collapsing Sakurami Tower by ''stealing his son's parachute'' leaving him to die and then he stabs his ex-wife (which kills her) when she stops him from escaping because he's terrified that she'll tell the police he just left his son to die on a collapsing tower.

* ActorAllusion: [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist This isn't the first time]] [[Creator/KentWilliams he's]] played someone godlike before.
* AkashicRecords: He has it [[spoiler: as he planned to send Akise back since he served his purpose.]]
* AllPowerfulBystander: Despite being a literal [[PhysicalGod divine level]] RealityWarper [[DimensionLord who controls everything about his dimension]], he does not directly interfere with the games for two reasons, 1 it's against the rules he's set up [[spoiler: only interfering when knowing someone is bypassing the rules]] and two [[spoiler: [[SecretlyDying he's slowly decaying]]]].

* [[spoiler: [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou Can't Let You Die, Still Need You]]: Deus saves Minene and gives her half of his power so she can stop [=MurMur=] and Yuno.]]

* EnigmaticEmpoweringEntity: He gave the 12 holders their diary powers [[spoiler: as well as giving Minene half of his powers and a new arm.]]

* GodIsFlawed: He leans a bit closer to this in that he wants the survival game to play out fairly between the players and without outside intervention from himself or [=MurMur=], and honestly can't see the problem in it so long as he's kept entertained and his successor is chosen. He is also very willing to [[spoiler:cancel the whole game entirely]] when John Balks decides to [[spoiler:stop the Future Diary Project from developing further in the third world]].
* GodzillaThreshold: [[spoiler:Upon learning that Murmur purposely had the Fourth eliminated much earlier than planned, he becomes more cautious of her, and responds by placing the Observer [[note]]Akise[[/note]] on a more active role in the game.]]
** [[spoiler:Later, when it becomes glaringly obvious to Deus that Murmur is seen manipulating the game to go in Second's favor, it grows to the point that he had to rescue Minene from death and bestow her with half of his power to keep the game on track.]]

* ImageSong: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPVZgdxFxAo EGOIST]]

* JerkassGod: He sits back and lets the players kill each other, only interfering due to players not playing by the rules. He doesn't care about how the battle game will emotionally scar the Diary users. [[spoiler:He then deconstructs every choice of free will that Akise ever did, even his love for Yuki, that being all programed.]]

** For example when he noticed that the Tenth has hidden himself from the game, [[spoiler:the Observer was sent to check on him.]]

* RulesLawyer: He puts a large emphasis on the rules [[spoiler: he found Tenth's avoidance to be a deviance from the game, so he planned accordingly, as well as planning against [=MurMur=] once it's clear that she favors Yuno.]]

!!'''[=MurMur=]'''

* AntiHero [[HeroAntagonist Antagonist]]: [[spoiler: Third world Murmur from the Redial OVA. She's simply trying to fulfill her duty as a loyal servant of Deus and first world Murmur is a threat.]]

* [[spoiler:TheAtoner: In the Redial OVA, the first world [=MurMur=] is trapped by the third world's incarnation with the first Yuno's memories. Through this she realises the enormity of pain she had caused and contacts the third Yuno via a keychain replica of herself to give her a proper happy ending.]]

* BitchInSheepsClothing: She sets herself off up as a CloudCuckooLander as well as a BrattyHalfPint, [[spoiler: in reality, she's far more manipulate and malevolent]].
** [[spoiler: She's also much less adorable in her true form, especially with RedEyesTakeWarning]]

* EnigmaticMinion: Towards the middle of the story, [=MurMur=] starts hinting that she knows more than she lets on, perhaps more than Deus, and [[spoiler:manipulates the game accordingly. Her true purpose isn't revealed until the full story about Yuno being [=MurMur=]'s real god comes to light.]]
* [[spoiler:TheDragon: Towards the end, she fights off the [[EmpoweredBadassNormal empowered Minene]] while Yuno arranges her life in the third world.]]
** [[spoiler:DragonInChief: Even after Yuno took her place as the final boss, [=MurMur=] still seems more malevolent than her and tried to ensure Yuno's victory throughout the whole series while Yuno certainly didn't want to win the Survival Game again.]]
* FusionDance: [[spoiler: First World [=MurMur=] did this and absorbed Yuno's corpse, inheriting her memories in the process.]]

* HumongousMecha: [[spoiler:Created one of these to fight Minene in the Redial OVA.]]
* ImageSong: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zadFKAx58EY UBIQUITOUS ]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Mainly toward Akise. Otherwise, she mostly enjoys [[TheGadfly screwing around with everyone else.]]
* [[spoiler:JustBetweenYouAndMe: Shows Yukiteru the past events of the first world right after Yuno starts to attack him to "make the game more interesting". Since she was working under Yuno, she was probably expecting him to die right after showing him the past world. And she would've been right had it not been for Minene's interference.]]
* MeaningfulName: Named for the [[ArsGoetia Goetic demon]] Murmur. She also carries a small trumpet on her hip to reinforce the namesake. She eventually wears a crown just like the Murmur from myth is said to wear after [[spoiler:Deus' death]].

* MissExposition: In the dub, this is lampshaded in the second episode's make.

* RestrainingBolt: The bracelets she wears keep her from acting against Deus's will, [[spoiler:or so he thought. In chapter 57, she takes them off. She was indeed serving God's will, but that God was not Deus.]]

* ShipperOnDeck: Kind of. [[spoiler:In the Redial OVA, her actions reunited Yuki and Yuno, showing that, to some degree, she does approve of their relationship, though she might not have really cared before.]]

* AllLovingHero: In ''Paradox''. [[spoiler: He does all in his power to prevent the many casualties that Yuno originally caused in the main series. This includes not involving anyone during Ninth's hostage situation and battling her on his own (albeit [[ButtMonkey using [=MurMur=] as a fake hostage]] as well), figuring out what the cult was planning to do to Sixth and save her, prevent Fifth from becoming murderous by saving his parents and making Twelfth realize that his view of the world is wrong and he can still redeem himself by saving another. He even gets to befriend Seventh and Eighth in said situation. Naturally, the only person who does not like this attitude one bit is [=MurMur=].]]
** Also in the main series, but by proxy. [[spoiler: [[PassingTheTorch His dying message gives Yukiteru awareness of the]] AlternateTimeline, prompting Yukiteru to improve the lives of all the participants upon arrival in the third world.]]

* [[spoiler:BackFromTheDead: The Redial OVA imply that third world Akise is second world Akise.]]

* BishieSparkle: In ''Paradox'', especially in chapter 3.

* DidntSeeThatComing: [[spoiler:Yuno having two Diaries. Of course no one besides [=MurMur=] or Yuno would have seen it coming.]]

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[spoiler:Akise briefly having Yukiteru's physical appearance at the beginning of the Redial OVA is almost definitely a [[MythologyGag reference to Paradox]].]]

* [[spoiler:FirstLawOfResurrection: Despite the fact that the survival game never started in the third world and thus Deus didn't need an observer to keep up with it, Akise is shown to be alive and well in the third world in one of the closing panels of chapter 59. The manga doesn't give any explanation for his recreation. In the anime, third world Deus is shown using Akise to gather information about the impact Yukiteru, Yuno, and Minene made on the third world, so he presumably recreated Akise for that purpose.]]

* GreatDetective: [[spoiler:In the Redial manga he goes on to become a world famous detective.]]

* ItsAllAboutMe: His most prominent flaw is that he puts himself and his own troubles before everyone else. [[spoiler:He shows up just to find and break Yuki's Diary so that the Eleventh will clear the '''3 million yen''' debt he owes. However, he doesn't realize that doing so will kill Yuki.]]

* [[spoiler:OffingTheOffspring: He tries to destroy Yuki's Diary, although he doesn't realize that this will kill Yuki.]]

He doesn't care about how the battle game will emotionally scare the Diary users.
