MundaneSolution: After some suitably epic banter between him and Evangeline, Nagi ends the battle before it even begins by catching Eva in a pit trap filled with onions and garlic. Game over.

Also a scene where the real Nagi used this on the last {{Mook}} Demon of an army he'd just torn through. He finished it in a NeckSnap.

[[folder:Nagi Springfield]]
!!! ''The Thousand Master''

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Nagi_4077.jpg]]

Negi's DisappearedDad, the epitome of the IdiotHero, and quite possibly the most powerful combat mage ever to live. Unlike his son, he is straight forward, child-like, laid back and disrespectful. He hates respectful titles and prefers to be called by his name without honorifics and such. He has a strong affinity for lightning and has mastered the element's strongest spells. Though his skill in battle is beyond question, he actually isn't all that good at remembering his magic, and often has to read his spell incantations off of a notebook.

The Princess (and later Queen) of the [[FloatingContinent kingdom of Ostia]] and one of Ala Rubra's allies during the war.

[[folder:Jack Rakan]]
!!'''Jacobus 'Jack' Rakan'''
!!!''The Thousand Blades''

[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_raken_5887.jpg]]

An extremely powerful warrior who's every bit as invincible as Nagi (the one time we saw them fight, it was a draw). He is a very laid-back and seemingly carefree person, loving nothing more in life than cute girls and powerful opponents. He primarily works as a mercenary, charging hilariously overpriced fees for his help, but ended up joining the Ala Rubra and fighting alongside them to save the world.

Though he can use magic, it really isn't his style; he prefers to use swords, fists, and KiAttacks. His decades of experience in battle leave him with few to no weaknesses as a fighter, a fact he tries to hide with his goofy attitude and lack of (apparent) strategy.

In keeping with Kurt Godel, his name may be a reference to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Lacan Jacques Lacan]], psychoanalyst and philosopher. The two names would be identical in katakana.

!!!!!!Voiced by: RikiyaKoyama (Drama CD and OAD.) and PatrickSeitz (English, OAD)

* TheAce
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: After seeing Negi's superior speed, he is able to predict where Negi will be.
* [[spoiler:BackFromTheDead: ''Twice''.]]
* '''{{BADASS}}'''
** BadassGrandpa: He's got to be at least sixty or so. Twenty years as a gladiator plus time spent as a mercenary plus the twenty year time span after the war. He could even be in his seventies or older. He also hits every other point in the BadassGrandpa trope. However, as a member of the Hellas race, he's apparently not really that old for his race.
* BattleAura
* BewareTheSillyOnes
* BeyondTheImpossible: Knows the rules of magic but chooses to ignore them.
* {{BFS}}: His artifact. A ''lot'' of them.
* BiggerIsBetter: One of his giant-summoned-sword-based attacks is called the "Zankanken", possibly a pun on the Shinmeiryuu technique "zanganken", or "rock-cutting sword". It means "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin warship-cutting sword]]"... which has the same meaning as [[SuperRobotWars SANGER ZONVOLT's ZANKANTOU]]
* BloodKnight
* BoisterousBruiser: The picture here is one of the few times he looks that serious.
* BrickJoke: The attack that he created as Negi's FinishingMove, [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v22/c201/17.html Eternal Negi Fever]]. [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v27/c244/5.html Guess who uses the attack in the their fight.]]
* BrokenHero
* CallingYourAttacks: Most of them he ''makes up on the spot.''
* ChivalrousPervert: He actually fights on several occasions by stealing his opponents panties and [[DefeatByModesty flipping their skirts]]. His mind also appears to be eternally in the gutter.
** After the timeskip; he's apparently mentoring Paio... in panty-stealing techniques.
* ChunkyUpdraft: He does that the first time he gets anything close to serious.
%% CrazyAwesome is a YMMV trope, and belongs on the YMMV subpage of the main page. Do not add it here.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass
* CurbStompBattle
* DarkSkinnedBlond
* DefeatByModesty: His modus operandi when dealing with cute girls.
* DefeatMeansFriendship
* {{Determinator}}: After being [[spoiler:erased from existence]], he ''[[spoiler:willed himself back]]''. Repeat: [[spoiler:he was '''erased from existence''', and he temporarily '''forced himself back through sheer force of will'''. '''''[[BackForTheFinale Twice]]!''''' To Rakan, [[BeyondTheImpossible being erased from existence is like being]] PutOnABus.]]
* DirtyOldMan
* FieldOfBlades
* FinishingMove: Negi and Rakan discuss the necessity of having a good finishing move.
* GameBreaker: An {{in-universe}} example. Jack Rakan is so ridiculously powerful, some of the older characters even say he's a "broken game character".
** A short and hard to read (due to small speech balloons) exchange between Rakan and Chamo illustrates the point perfectly.
--> '''Chamo:''' This isn't physically possible...
--> '''Rakan:''' Make up for it with guts.
* GeniusBruiser: ''Yes''.
* GeniusDitz
* TheGiant
* GladiatorGames
* HardWorkHardlyWorks: An explicit aversion. While it certainly took him longer and he had to work harder to get there, he's still a fighter on par with Nagi.
* HeroicResolve
* HeroicWillpower: It actually appears to be a power of his that increases his damage.
* HiddenDepths: On being capable of MindReading: "Nothing's impossible for me!" On being a surprisingly talented artist: "[[TheAce I have no weak points]]."
* HotBlooded
* [[HowMuchMoreCanHeTake How Much More Can He Take?]]
* IdiotHero: Not as stupid as [[LeeroyJenkins Nagi]], but he admits he's not much of a schemer compared to Gatou and Albireo. Rather than being unable to plan like Nagi, he actually seems like a reasonable intelligent person who chooses not to think about things.
* IHaveManyNames: And all of them are awesome.
* ImplacableMan
* ImpossibleThief: In regards to his abilities to steal girls panties while they are wearing them, and without them even noticing.
* IndyPloy: How he likes to operate.
* TheJuggernaut
* KamehameHadoken: [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Rakan Impact]].
* LargeHam
* LetsGetDangerous
* LightningBruiser
* LovableSexManiac
* MadeOfIron: The vast majority of attacks used on him when he is being serious have little to no effect despite the fact that he's primarily a swordsman, not a [[hottip:mage:Though he's not bad at that either]] and thus isn't using a barrier. [[spoiler:It turns out that he's negating a lot of the force behind attacks by turning his body slightly and going for glancing blows.]]
* MegaManning: He has copied Eishun's ''Zanmaken Ni no Tachi'', Gateau's ''Muonken'' (Rakan For-The-Hell-Of-It Right Hand Punch looks pretty similar), Albireo's [[GravityMaster Gravity magic]] (''Great Dimension Breaker''), and Evangeline's ''[[BlackMagic Magia Erebea]]''.

* TheRival: Nagi's.
* RuleOfCool: [[spoiler:It is portrayed at first as though this is how he operates entirely, but it actually turns out to be a subversion. He's quite knowledgeable and even a good enough mage to break barrier dimensions, something that normally isn't possible.]]

[[folder:Albireo Imma]]

[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_albireo_7831.jpg]]

A powerful mage who is proficient with both [[GravityMaster gravity]] and [[HealingHands healing]] magic in addition to his being a skilled unarmed combatant. At some point, he becomes a Minister Magi to Nagi and is revealed to have several more contracts in the past, all of which are dead. The fact that his pactio with Nagi remains active serves as a proof that the Thousand Master is indeed still alive, though Albireo himself doesn't know where he is.

Albireo visibly takes delight in tormenting and playing mindgames with Evangeline and is labeled as one of the two of the vampire's natural enemies, the other being Nagi. He's even bold enough to call the Dark Evangel 'Kitty'. His actual age is unknown, but he himself alludes to the fact that he is [[OlderThanTheyLook Older Than He Looks]]. He is currently living underneath Library Island at Mahora.
