'''Voiced by:''' Minami Takahashi (Japanese) and Creator/LydiaMackay (English)

* DevotedToYou: Despite Arthur being stated to be a ChickMagnet and a very popular groom candidate, he is shown to only love Elaine Westcott, the maid of the Pendragon family.

Arthur is the same-named descendant of [[KingArthur the legendary British warlord]] and wielder of the strongest piece of Excalibur, as well as Collbrande (Caliburn), the sword in the stone.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: While she is usually haughty and disrespective to most of the supernatural VIPs that she deals with, she is shown to be frightened by the likes of Nurarihyon, the Eastern Youkai faction leader and Magari, the Nekomata elder.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: His allegiance mostly depends more on "which side allows me to fight stronger opponents" than "what's good for society". He is staunchly against his grandfather, even though their attraction to conflict and desire to defeat Great Red [[NotSoDifferent makes them more similar than he'd care to admit]].

* BadassCreed: His new Juggernaut Drive chant, [[UpToEleven Juggernaut Overdrive]].

* MutualEnvy: While Issei was originally envious of Vali's strength and power, it is later noted that Vali is envious of Issei due to him having a loving family, unlike his own [[AbusiveParents father]].

* WhyDidItHavetoBeSnakes: PlayedForLaughs. He is shown to be slightly scared of Lavinia Reni, a Magician who he views as a foster sister due to the fact that he doesn't know how to deal with her and her personality. Many characters have noted that Vali loses his calm and composed aura when she is around. The fact that she has two books filled with {{Chuunibyou}} material that he wrote down when he was younger doesn't help the matter.

* WhyDidItHavetoBeSnakes: While she is usually haughty and disrespective to most of the supernatural VIP's that she deals with, she is shown to be frightened by the likes of Nurarihyon, the Eastern Youkai faction leader and Magari, the Nekomata elder.

* WhyDidItHavetoBeSnakes: He is terrified of his ancestor, the original Sun Wukong due to his strength and the fact that Wukong always subjects him to TrainingFromHell whenever they train together.

--->"I, who is about to awaken, am the White Dragon who will take the law down to the darkness. What we strengthen is the height of the Heavenly Dragon! The path we go is the road of the domination of the White Dragon! We stop the infinite and devour the dream! I walk the road of domination with infinite destruction and by piercing through the imaginary dream. I shall become a pure Emperor of White Dragon. And I shall have you obey the silver-white illusions and the perfect evil ways."

* BornWinner: Just take a look at what ''he has''.

* CassandraTruth: In the ''SLASH/DOG'' prequel novel, Tobio and his friends (who've only recently been thrust into the supernatural world), dismiss Vali's claims of being the descendant of Lucifer and carrier of the Vanishing Dragon, but it later turns out to be true.

* NotSoAboveItAll: For all of his confoundment at Issei's obsession with breasts, Vali does admit to possessing a fondness for women's butts.

* WomenPreferStrongMen: She has stated a desire to mate with and be impregnated by a Heavenly Dragon host. She first propositioned Vali, [[IgnoreTheFanservice which he turned down]]. After that that she shifts her focus to Issei, [[LovableSexManiac who is much more receptive]].

* VaporWear: She is wearing a kimono with no undergarments on her.

* ShipperOnDeck: He ships Issei with Le Fay ever since her Magician's Contract with him.

* AntiHeroTeam: They are former members of a terrorist organization and most of their members are more pragmatic than the main heroes, particularly Vali and Kuroka.

* AdaptationDyeJob: For the second and third seasons of the anime, his hair color is changed from light silver to dark silver and his eyes change from hazel to blue.

* AdaptationalWimp: While he's still touted as powerful enough to bite Gods to death in the anime, the protagonists have a much easier time beating him into submission.

* NotSoAboveItAll: For all of his confoundment at Issei's obsession with breasts, Cali does admit to possessing a fondness for women's butts.

* GoingCommando: She reveals that she wears absolutely nothing under her kimono as she takes it off and dives into the Hyoudou residence swimming pool, naked. It's also made as clear as possible on the cover of Volume 24. Subverted in the manga where we see she has underwear on.

* ShrinkRay: Divine Dividing has a technique called Half Dimension which can make objects and people become half their size.

* EngagementChallenge: Sort of. As it turns out, part of the reason of his entire shenanigans with the Vali team is for the safety of his household maid and Le Fay's mentor, Elaine Westcott (who happens to be a direct descendant of one of the Order of Golden Dawn founder, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Wynn_Westcott William Westcott]] ) from his father. The challenge part is basically Arthur proving to his old man that he doesn't care of Elaine's status if he wants to make her his bethrothed.
* MasterSwordsman: He's tied with Siegfried as the strongest swordsmen within the Khaos Brigade.

* AdventurerArchaeologist: One of his hobbies in the future is digging and discovering ancient artifacts left by the Old Gods and Satans alongside his duties as an Ultimate-class Devil (or possibly a Satan himself).

* ShipTease: While most of the characters in-universe and Ishibumi himself consider their current relationship to be in the LikeBrotherAndSister territory, Vali has lots of it with Lavinia even though he doesn't want to admit it himself. Let's see here: Getting an AffectionateNickname from her? Check. Managed to achieve his first Balance Breaker in order to release her from their enemy's MindControl, then getting thanked from her afterwards while blushing from hearing it? Check. Becomes NotSoStoic every time she appears to the point of getting hold of his embarassing secrets and later showed it to Issei? Ho yes. To top the icing of the cake, [=Slash/Dog=] current illustrator Kikurage [[https://scontent.fcgk18-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/51062479_1391918067614674_9154613368542199808_n.jpg?_nc_cat=111&_nc_ht=scontent.fcgk18-2.fna&oh=770ec01acd53288300ff6f8dc713cb0b&oe=5D9D7CB3 drew an illustration of Lavinia carrying what appears to be an Albion avatar]] [[https://slashdog.fandom.com/wiki/File:SLASHD%C3%98G_2_volume_cover.jpg that is shown to be sticking around to Vali]] throughout the novel.
