History Characters / ReZeroOtherCharacters

* DragonsAreDivine: Volcania is an extremely powerful dragon. He's deified in Luguinca as the country's guardian deity who has bestowed blessings on the land and gifts to its people that has brought the nation prosperity for centuries. The decline of the royal family statesmanship for several generations has lead people to look to him as the true ruler of Luginica. His very presence can instinctively compel others to kneel before him.

* TheGhost: While it's influence is great and the cast has fought its ''venom'' as its own dreaded boss monster prior, The Black Serpent itself has not properly appeared. This is likely because of the sheer difficulty to track it down in the first place, and hasn't happened upon the characters itself yet. Narratively, this works because the monster is simply too powerful to ignore and thus would put a halt on any current plot arc by simply having its location known.

* MonsterWhale: This monster is basically the fantasy world version of Literature/MobyDick. If a giant flying whale that hunts people isn't terrifying enough, it also possesses a mystical fog that's capable of {{Ret Gone}}ing anyone it touches and erasing all trace of them from history.

* {{Hypocrite}}: He thinks Emilia and Puck threaten the balance of the world around them. So what does he do? Starts ''burning down a forest'' where plenty of animals (and humans) live, and unleashes the poison of [[TheDreaded the Black Serpent]] to aid in his goals.
* InsaneTrollLogic: His "justifications" when it comes to his attempted murder of Emilia border on this. For instance, the idea that, because she somewhat resembles a long-defeated Witch, she's somehow a "grave threat to the world" (not even at the moment, but merely ''potentially''), and therefore requires him threatening the existence of the forest. When pressed, he's unable to provide anything more rational than his mysterious self-proclaimed role as a [[TautologicalTemplar "mediator"]], and when pointed out she's just trying to defend herself and he would do the same in her situation, he responds she shouldn't be allowed to do as others do. Fortunately for Emilia, Puck manages to defeat him; unfortunately, that same "logic" is deeply-rooted all throughout the world.

* TheDreaded: The White Whale is probably the second-most feared entity in the world after Satella, and for good reason. The anime demonstrates just why this is in excellent detail: you don't even remember its victims, nor do any records. The only way for anyone to know that people have fallen victim to the White Whale is for there to be some kind of irrefutable organizational structure that necessitates the existence of people at a given point in time, but, inexplicably, there is no one filling those positions/records. This leads to situations in which a convoy of traders are picked off one by one, with none of them even realizing they're under attack because they instantly forget the ones whom are killed ever existed. The infamous "Who's Rem?" meme hammers this home: Ram cannot even recall ever having a twin sister (or any kind of sister), despite the two being almost inseparable for their whole lives. And since all physical traces of Rem's existence were erased, no one even believes Subaru when he insists that Rem did exist. The implications are pretty heavy--how many parents are going about their daily lives, completely unaware that they once had a beloved child that they spent decades raising, with all physical traces of their existence being erased as well? A husband of 50 years might retroactively come to believe that he had never been married at all, and nothing could ever indicate otherwise. In fact, the only reason why ''any'' of the White Whale's victims are remembered is that it sometimes decides to kill people without using its signature fog/mist attack.
* {{Expy}}: Quite possibly one of Sin from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX''. A giant, flying, whale-like monster of overwhelming power that's been terrorizing the world with impunity for hundreds of years, who appears at random around the world? Yup.

* RetGone: What the White Whale's fog/mist attack inflicts. It erases both all memories of the victim and all physical traces or records of that person's existence. Subaru is the only one who remembers, most likely solely because of a side-effect of his Return By Death ability, which lets him remember everything even past death itself.

* EmotionlessGirl: As a result of being created from one of Echidna's failed experiments and not fully inheriting a complete soul, Sphinx has an emotionless demeanour.

!!Fortuna
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HarukaTomatsu (Japanese), Creator/AmberLeeConnors (English), Alicia Barragán (Latin American Spanish)
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fortuna_character_design.png]]
Emilia's spunky taciturn paternal aunt, who raised her in the place of her deceased parents. She was the younger sister of Emilia's father.

* ActionMom: While she is technically not a mother, she did raise Emilia for a good portion of her childhood. She was also a skilled ice mage like her niece.
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: She was Emilia's aunt instead of her mother, but she was the one who raised her until she was seven years old. From what we see of her in Emilia's memories, Fortuna was a good and caring mother figure to Emilia.

* MissingMom: She was a mother figure to Emilia and died tragically when Emilia was a little girl.
* MysticalWhiteHair: She was an elf woman with silver hair.

* BlowYouAway: He can shoot RazorWind with a super high speed that can cut through wood, stone, and flesh with ease.
* ElementalBarrier: He could create a water barrier.
* {{Elfeminate}}: He's an elf man with an androgynous face and long hair that qualify him as a {{Bishonen}}.
* LifeOrLimbDecision: [[spoiler:He cut off his foot after it was infected by the Black Snake's venom. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to stop the venom from spreading across his entire body.]]
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: He has long blond hair which he ties in braids.
* PointyEars: As an elf, he has pointed ears.

!!Three Great Mabeasts

[[folder:White Whale]]
!!White Whale

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hakugei_anime.png]]

A giant, flying, white, whale-like mabeast that's terrorized the world for over 400 years. Anyone it hits with its white fog is not only killed but erased from the memories of everyone else, along with any physical evidence of their existence--only Subaru remembers them. Since its appearances are random, hunting it down is even more difficult than it would otherwise be.

* BrownNote:
** Of a sort. Subaru comes up with the idea of using the side effect of [[spoiler:saying that he can Return By Death to kill or cripple the White Whale after he manages to get on top of its horn. It succeeds in bringing the beast down to the ground, where the real trap can be sprung.]]
** The White Whale can do a version of this, too, causing many people to go temporarily insane and collapse in agony.
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Taking down the White Whale is seen like this, in-universe. Not just because it's a giant, flying, magical whale with instant-death, area-of-effect ranged attacks, but because its appearances are always random and unpredictable, meaning that actively hunting for it is extremely difficult. But the chance to take it down and get revenge for all of the suffering, terror, and horror it's inflicted on the world for 400 years is too tempting for many to pass up.
* TheDreaded: The White Whale is probably the second-most feared entity in the world after Satella, and for good reason. The anime demonstrates just why this is in excellent detail: you don't even remember its victims, nor do any records. The only way for anyone to know that people have fallen victim to the White Whale is for there to be some kind of irrefutable organizational structure that necessitates the existence of people at a given point in time, but, inexplicably, there is no one filling those positions/records. This leads to situations in which a convoy of traders are picked off one by one, with none of them even realizing they're under attack because they instantly forget the ones whom are killed ever existed. The infamous "Who's Rem?" meme hammers this home: Ram cannot even recall ever having a twin sister (or any kind of sister), despite the two being almost inseparable for their whole lives. And since all physical traces of Rem's existence were erased, no one even believes Subaru when he insists that Rem did exist. The implications are pretty heavy--how many parents are going about their daily lives, completely unaware that they once had a beloved child that they spent decades raising, with all physical traces of their existence being erased as well? A husband of 50 years might retroactively come to believe that he had never been married at all, and nothing could ever indicate otherwise. In fact, the only reason why ''any'' of the White Whale's victims are remembered is that it sometimes decides to kill people without using its signature fog/mist attack.
* {{Expy}}: Quite possibly one of Sin from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX''. A giant, flying, whale-like monster of overwhelming power that's been terrorizing the world with impunity for hundreds of years, who appears at random around the world? Yup.
* FromBadToWorse: [[spoiler:Just when it seems like they have the White Whale on the ropes, it spawns two clones of itself.]]
* GiantFlyer: A literal flying MonsterWhale that has menaced the world for centuries.
* MonsterWhale: This monster is basically the fantasy world version of Literature/MobyDick. If a giant flying whale that hunts people isn't terrifying enough, it also possesses a mystical fog that's capable of {{Ret Gone}}ing anyone it touches and erasing all trace of them from history.
* RasputinianDeath: The White Whale takes an absurd amount of punishment to kill. Even [[spoiler: dropping Flugel's tree onto it]] isn't enough to kill it, forcing [[spoiler:Wilhelm]] to finish it off.
* RetGone: What the White Whale's fog/mist attack inflicts. It erases both all memories of the victim and all physical traces or records of that person's existence. Subaru is the only one who remembers, most likely solely because of a side-effect of his Return By Death ability, which lets him remember everything even past death itself.

[[folder:Great Rabbit]]
!!Great Rabbit

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/oosugai.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:A singular Great Rabbit]]

The Sizeable Hare is actually a swarm of hares with an insatiable, unending hunger. They have an inherent population limit that they can't exceed (which is still a very high number), but they will quickly replenish back to that maximum number in seconds if all of them aren't killed at once. Also, their bites are supernaturally strong: Subaru puts his hand near one and the entire hand is almost instantly chomped off.

* DevouredByTheHorde: Inflicts this on its victims. It's a very painful way to die, as Subaru can attest to.
* TheDreaded: The Great Rabbit is treated as a natural disaster even worse than White Whale. While the appearance of the White Whale is a freak occurrence akin to a meteor, the Great Rabbit is more like a never ending hurricane that can be tracked by the sheer amount of devastation it causes by eating everything in sight.
* DudeWheresMyReward: [[spoiler: Emilia's faction reports that they killed the Great Rabbit to the government, but they don't receive credit for the achievement since no witnesses outside their faction were present and no body could be found. They said that they'd consider the claim proven if the Great Rabbit made no appearances for the next decade, but by that point the Royal Selection will be over.]]
* FromASingleCell: If even one of the hares survives, it will continue to multiply back to its maximum population limit extremely quickly, usually by feeding.
* HairRaisingHare: These fluffy bunnies are actually a man-eating monster that will devour every person in sight, or, if no people are nearby, then they'll devour themselves.
* HiveMind: The Great Rabbit is believed to be a single entity split into hundreds.
* HordeOfAlienLocusts: A non-alien version. They descend onto a settlement and devour everyone, leaving nothing behind in terms of bodies.
* KillerRabbit: Don't let its adorable appearance and small size fool you because this little thing is one of the most dangerous mabeasts in the world and the hardest to kill.
* NegativeSpaceWedgie: [[spoiler: How they are ultimately defeated. Beatrice, aided by Subaru and Emilia, uses the ultimate yin-element spell, Al Shamac, creating a wormhole of sorts that sucks the entire swarm into an alternate dimension of blackness.]]
* TheSwarm: They always act as a swarm, overwhelming everything with sheer numbers and incredible multiplication/replication.

[[folder:Black Serpent]]
!!Black Serpent
The Black Serpent is said to be the hardest of the great three mabeasts to control or deal with.

* TheDreaded: The White Whale, while powerful and existentially terrifying, is still vulnerable to sufficiently-massed firepower and magical attacks, preventing it from operating too close to cities or armies. The Great Rabbit is mindless and drawn by overt concentrations of mana, and can also be killed by sufficient concentrations of disciplined firepower if it gets too close to an army or city. Comparatively, Black Serpent is unpredictable and has no known means to attract its attention towards any given target. Even if it is killed, the curses it would leave on the area upon being defeated makes fighting it seem very costly, no matter how perfectly executed.
* TheGhost: While it's influence is great and the cast has fought its ''venom'' as its own dreaded boss monster prior, The Black Serpent itself has not properly appeared. This is likely because of the sheer difficulty to track it down in the first place, and hasn't happened upon the characters itself yet. Narratively, this works because the monster is simply too powerful to ignore and thus would put a halt on any current plot arc by simply having its location known.
* PoisonIsEvil: Its venom alone is so powerful and dangerous that it's able to prey on powerful demons and serve as an immensely tangible threat on its own.
* SerpentOfImmortality: Very literally an immortal snake, though the immortality is more age related than being unable to die.
* WalkingWasteland: It is a giant black snake which sows the lands it travels through with curses, making it a mobile, living natural disaster. On top of that, it inflicts over a hundred diseases upon anyone it touches--such as with its long, prehensile tongue--which kills its victims in mere seconds in horrific fashion. The curses it leaves upon the land as it travels is analogous to radioactive pollution in which it makes an area uninhabitable and dangerous to even approach for a very long time.

!!Four Great Spirits

[[folder:In General]]
* ClassicalElementsEnsemble: Melakuera is the Great Spirit of Fire (although he has been replaced by Puck after being defeated by the latter), Zarestia is the Great Spirit of Wind, Muspel is the Great Spirit of Earth, and Odglass is the Great Spirit of Water.

[[folder:Zarestia]]
!!Zarestia
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tia_concept_art.png]]

The Great Spirit of Wind who dwells at Zarestia's Bed.

* AxCrazy: As the Great Spirit of Murder, Zarestia is a killing machine with uncontrollable murderous impulses. However, without her light ball, her personality becomes much more peaceful and friendly.
* BlowYouAway: While Zarestia once possessed power over the four elements, she now retains only her extremely powerful Wind Magic.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: She ''hates'' alcohol. Just coming into contact with it is enough to put her into shock.
* EtherealWhiteDress: She's the Great Spirit of Murder that is called a {{Shinigami}} by many. She dresses in a mostly white kimono similar to burial clothes to represent her close connection to death.
* EveryoneHasStandards: She's a Spirit of Murder and self-proclaimed {{Shinigami}}, but she won't kill pregnant women regardless of any sin the mother committed.
* ImmortalImmaturity: She can be surprisingly childish despite being one of the oldest beings in her world.
* InSeriesNickname: She asks others to call her "Tia".
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: In the Rem IF novel, she tries joining Subaru and Halibel at the male side of the hot springs, not understanding the reasons why that would be wrong. Luckily, Rem is there to stop her.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In the Rem IF novel, she accidentally knocks the pregnant Rem into a wall when Rem gets close to her while she's passed out drunk and Zarestia mistakes Rem for the {{Oni}} girl who stole her light ball. When Zarestia comes to her senses, she's horrified at seeing what she did to Rem.
* MysticalWhiteHair: She has the appearance of a young woman with pure white hair, hinting at her supernatural nature as a Great Spirit.
* RedBaron: She took the title of the Most Beautiful Shinigami after people called her "shinigami" when she killed them in the end and how they had once called her "beautiful".
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: She's an ancient Great Spirit who takes the form of a woman with bright yellow eyes.

[[folder:Muspel]]
!!Muspel

The Great Spirit of Earth. It was said to roam freely within Vollachia and had settled itself in the territory of House Abellux until it was partially devoured by Arakiya roughly 7 years before the start of the main story.

* DishingOutDirt: Muspel is the Great Spirit of Earth. According to records, Muspel moves on a grand scale every 12 years, leading to various earthquakes after its movement.

* TheChooserOfTheOne: Odglass has chosen each Holy King in the line of succession of Gusteko.
* FounderOfTheKingdom: She founded the country of Gusteko by crowning its first king.
* MakingASplash: She's the Great Spirit of Water.

!!Pleiades Watchtower

[[folder:Shaula]]
!!Shaula
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shaula_character_design.png]]

The disciple of Flugel as well as the Sage. She was a key figure in sealing away Satella 400 years ago. She has remained at the Pleiades Watchtower for 400 years, acting on Flugel's orders and watching over the Evil Sealing Stone Shrine.

* AIIsACrapshoot: [[spoiler: Shaula has a built-in program that forces her to maintain the rules of the Pleiades Watchtower even if it would be detrimental to her own interests and those of her friends.]]
* TheAloner: Guarded the Pleiades Watchtower for 400 years, with her only interaction being the Witch Cult members that she has to kill every so often.
* AncientKeeper: She watches over the Pleiades Watchtower and maintains the trial there.
* {{Animorphism}}: Any time a rule of the tower is broken, Shaula can transform herself into a colossal scorpion.
* BraidsOfAction: She ties her hair back in a braid. It's meant to resemble a scorpion tail.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Despite acting as frivolous as Subaru, Shaula holds the answers to many ancient mysteries.
* CannotTellALie: She cannot tell a lie, but that won't stop her from keeping certain pieces of information to herself.
* CharacterTics: She tends to talk using a lot of modern words. She is noted to talk and pose similarly to Subaru.
* FakeUltimateHero: [[spoiler:Turns out Flugel had left all his accomplishments and his title to her while he disappeared somewhere, leaving scant traces of his own existence.]]
* GirlyBruiser: She has incredible physical strength despite her looks. At one point in Arc 6, she carried a Dragon Carriage and its Land Dragon down to the 6th floor of the Pleiades Watchtower for storage.
* ICannotSelfTerminate: [[spoiler: After turning into her scorpion form, Shaula can't even kill herself to stop rule breakers even if she wants to.]]
* MagicLibrarian: Shaula is the caretaker of Flugel's library.
* MetaphoricallyTrue: Though she won't tell a lie, she won't give the whole truth. This can be seen how she doesn't explain that there are actually [[spoiler: 5 rules for the Pleiades Watchtower.]]
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: She's constantly hugging (or attempting to) Subaru almost anytime she sees him. Even tries to steal a kiss from him during his [[spoiler: amnesiac episode]].
* ScaryScorpions: In her scorpion form, she can fire stingers at people with tremendous speed, as well as giving her the ability to attack people with her pincers. In addition, she can detach her tail and use it as a detonator device.
* SpaceMaster: Shaula has shown the ability to manipulate space such as when she sent Subaru and his group to separate locations by distorting space.
* StellarName: Shaula, also known as Lambda Scorpii, is the second-brightest star in the southern constellation Scorpius.
* WalkingSwimsuitScene: She goes around wearing a black bikini top and mini shorts.

[[folder:Reid Astrea]]
!!Reid Astrea
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reid_astrea_cutout_final.png]]

The original Sword Saint who helped seal Satella 400 years ago and the ancestor of the Astrea family lineage. His soul acts as the overseer of the second trial of the Pleiades Watchtower.

* BarbarianLongHair: He has waist-length, messy red hair that gives him a wild look.
* DirtyOldMan: He doesn't attempt to hide his lust towards Emilia and Anastasia, even mentioning that he would've had Emilia in bed if he was still alive.
* DistractedByTheSexy: [[spoiler:As the group bartered him down to bragging that he'd beat them all without moving a step, and whilst Emilia was swinging at him close-range, he took the opportunity to fondle her chest with his chopsticks. Thanks to her sheltered upbringing and childlike mentality towards romance or the like, Emilia didn't react at all to his shameful groping and just smashed him on the head, taking Reid by surprise and making him move]].
* EyepatchOfPower: He wears an eyepatch on his right eye for literally no reason other than to look more badass.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: During a trial in Arc 6 he duels and handily beat both Julius and Anastasia with... nothing but a pair of chopsticks. He's so good he can use them like they were actual swords, complete with slashing others and even unleashing powerful [[SwordBeam flying slashes]] with them. Despite this seeming to be a self-imposed handicap, [[spoiler:when Julius manages to convince him to fight him a bit more seriously using the actual sword provided in the trial room, he finds out that Reid's strength hasn't increased or decreased from changing his weapon. Rather, Reid was so good that he was able to fight with his full strength even whilst using seemingly asinine or weaker weapons]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's a rough, frank, arrogant and rather lecherous man who is hard to get along with, but he is not a completely bad person.
* LightningBruiser: An incredible swordsman with inhuman strength & skill. Whether one comes at him with magic or martial prowess matter not, he can defeat most just the same.
* NoHeroToHisValet: While famous to most people for sealing Satella, Shaula considers him to be human trash who liked to bully people. Upon meeting the memory version of himself summoned for the trial and finding out that his mannerisms and personality were basically the exact opposite of his future descendant Reinhard, Subaru and the rest are [[BrokenPedestal forced to agree]] with her assessment.
* RedBaron: Known as the first historical Sword Saint & the 2nd strongest to exist, only surpassed by Reinhard.
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: [[spoiler: The memory version of himself summoned for the second trial of the Pleiades Watchtower gets eaten by Roy Alphard. However, instead of Roy being able to possess Reid's abilities, Reid ends up possessing him and essentially resurrects himself from the dead, in this state no longer being restricted to the trial room and able to interfere in other locations around the watchtower, which causes Subaru's death in several loops due to him appearing unexpectedly and still prioritising fighting them for his own reasons/amusement.]]
* UselessAccessory: It should be noted that there is nothing wrong with his right eye; he just wears an eyepatch as a handicap to avoid easily defeating his opponents ''too'' quickly.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: He only wears one sleeve of his kimono to reveal his muscular chest.
* WorldsStrongestMan: In his time he reached the peak state of swordsmanship & martial arts known as "Heavenly Sword" which was his other title. [[spoiler:Upon technically defeating him in the trial by successfully landing a blow on him with his strongest move (though a greater reason what that Reid's possession to Roy's body was unstable and came undone after a while due to his immense power being too much for Roy to contain) Julius expresses interest in his unique opportunity to have a serious duel with Reinhard, the present Sword Saint, having crossed blades with the man who invented the title]].

[[folder:Volcanica]]
!!Volcanica
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/volcanica_re_zero_light_novel_25.png]]

The dragon who helped seal Satella 400 years ago with Reid, Flugel and Shaula. He acts as the overseer of the third trial of the Pleiades Watchtower.

* DragonsAreDivine: Volcania is an extremely powerful dragon. He's deified in Luguinca as the country's guardian deity who has bestowed blessings on the land and gifts to its people that has brought the nation prosperity for centuries. The decline of the royal family statesmanship for several generations has lead people to look to him as the true ruler of Luginica. His very presence can instinctively compel others to kneel before him.
* HealItWithBlood: His blood has powerful restorative properties that can create miracles, like curing famine or breaking powerful curses and magic afflictions.
* LivingLegend: To the citizens of Lugunica for sealing away Satella and establishing the covenant with Farsale Lugunica which has protected and supported the kingdom until the death of the royal bloodline.
* RedBaron: "The Divine Dragon"

Rem and Ram's parents. They were killed by the Witch Cult when their daughters were young.

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Quark had blue hair and eyes. Similarly, Temae had pink hair and eyes.
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: PlayedWith. Rem remembers them as loving parents, but deep down she feared that they loved Ram more and wished she wasn't born a twin.

* PosthumousCharacter: They're long dead by the time the main story takes place.

!!Subaru's Family
[[folder:In General]]

[[{{Deconstructed|Trope}} In fact, they're such good parents that Subaru felt he didn't deserve them and wanted them to give up on him.]] Subaru's one regret about possibly never being able to return to his original world is that he will never see his parents again.

Subaru's father.
----
* AHeroToHisHometown: Kenichi is something of a local celebrity in the community he lives in, getting along with everyone from high schoolers to the elderly, resulting in his phone having thousands of contacts. This is {{deconstructed|Trope}} on Subaru's end, as he can't live up the (perceived) expectations of being Kenichi's son, leading to him being a {{Hikikomori}} prior to the story.
* HeroicBuild: Kenichi is tall and strongly built for a middle age man, and he's AHeroToHisHometown.

A man who lived in the era of the Great Calamity. He was responsible for uniting the cities and small countries scattered around the Western regions of the continent. With the help of the Witch of Greed, he was able to successfully bring them under his dominion, thus creating the nation that would soon become known as Kararagi. During that time, he involved himself in a regional conflict between Kararagi's Humans and Demi-Humans. He is considered a world-wide symbol of success for merchants and, as such, is a figure who is looked up to by any individual remotely associated with business.

* SupernaturalGoldEyes: His amber eyes signal his importance as a historical figure and might be a hint to him possibly being a human from another world like Subaru.
* TrappedInAnotherWorld: It's heavily implied he was from Japan, since he was the one who introduced the highly Japanese-like culture of Kararagi.

!!House Astrea

[[folder:Reinhard van Astrea]]
!!Reinhard van Astrea
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuuichiNakamura (Japanese), Creator/RobbieDaymond (English), Manuel Campuzano (Latin American Spanish)

[[quoteright:205:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reinhard_van_astrea_anime.png]]

An easy-going royal knight who holds the title of Sword Saint. He exhibits extraordinary powers in combat.

!!!Tropes that apply to him in the main series:
* TheAce: Singularly the strongest shown character in the series. As a testament to his strength, Reinhard was able to defeat Elsa with a sword that he randomly picked up off the floor.
* AdaptiveAbility: Reinhard's ability allows him to gain blessings in response to the situations he is placed in. In addition, these new blessings don't disappear afterward, allowing him to stack abilities to become almost invincible. During a trip to Vollachia, Julius witnessed him fighting off a small army of {{Half Human Hybrids}} without a scratch despite their unique fighting styles, noting that it was due to the combination of the 'first-sight blessing', allowing him to instinctively understand how to react to an attack he is seeing for the first time, and the 'twice-seen' blessing, which enables him to react with greater speed to an attack he has witnessed before, making it functionally ''impossible'' to hit him with a new or repeated attack, especially with his insane physical abilities.
* AutoRevive: Reinhard has the Blessing of the Phoenix which brings him back to life if he is killed once.
* BigDamnHeroes: In the "bad timelines" Subaru dies, like when [[spoiler:Puck]] goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge for [[spoiler:Emilia's]] death, Reinhard arrives shortly thereafter to defeat whatever killed Subaru and subsequently save the world from that particular threat.
* BornWinner: Comes from a line of master swordsmen and was born with a blessing that lets him wish for more blessings which he can permanently keep with no limits on the number, whereas normal people are extremely lucky to be born with one, not to mention his inherited blessing as the sword saint. However, the series also somewhat deconstructs this aspect of him. Reinhard has multiple abilities and blessings that basically guarantee him victory in any conflict no matter the odds, but he is [[DeusExitMachina often absent or unable to intervene]] in the deadly situations that Subaru encounters, and whenever he ''does'' show up, it's usually after somebody has already perished [[note]] usually Subaru [[/note]] and he cannot restore the dead back to life, only being able to obliterate the threat that caused so much death to prevent further harm. Subaru's [[SaveScumming unique power]] allows him to pre-empt deadly situations and make it out with minimal loss of life, but Reinhard can only ever appear ''after'' a large crisis has happened that requires the power of an almighty hero to be stopped. This is noted by several characters in the ArcWords that appear around Reinhard, that he has the power to protect everybody, but cannot actually ''save'' anyone, especially those he is close to, and his sheer overwhelming power actually alienates him from many, including his own family due to the circumstances in which he inherited the blessing of the Sword Saint.
-->'''Multiple characters:''' You are a true hero... and a hero is [[FailureHero all]] you can be.
* BrokenAce: As the strongest individual in the Royal Kingdom of Lugnica, he was forced to join the Royal Guard at the age of fourteen, becoming the strongest weapon in the Kingdom's possession. However, he gained the Divine Protection of the Sword Saint after his grandmother lost it in the middle of her battle with the White Whale and as a result, Reinhard came to be despised by his closest family members who [[TheyDiedBecauseOfYou blame him for Theresia's death]].
* BulletDodgesYou: Thanks to one of his many blessings, any projectile aimed at Reinhard will always miss.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Reinhard's strength is enough to shatter the ground with a kick and grapple with foes three times his size with ease. At one point in Arc 5, Regulus Corneas thinks he's gotten rid of him for good after he used his authority to throw him far into the sky. [[spoiler:Reinhard returns after Subaru has weakened Regulus' authority to have a time limitation now, revealing that he got back down to earth by ''jumping off the moon'']].
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Is willing to help out basically anyone he meets, even if it involves fighting a murderous assassin.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: Two years after his birth, his mother fell in a coma. At the age of five, he obtained the title of the Sword Saint after his grandmother Theresia van Astrea passed away during her fierce battle with the White Whale. The reason for her death was the sudden loss of her Divine Protection of the Sword Saint which mysteriously disappeared midway through the battle, transferring it to young Reinhard. His grandfather, Wilhelm van Astrea, [[TheyDiedBecauseOfYou blamed Reinhard for her death]], causing their relationship to plummet, leaving only his father who still cared about him. Sadly, his relationship with his father gravely deteriorated as well. After he gained the aforementioned blessing, his father became an alcoholic, and gradually started to blame him for Theresia's death as well.]]
* DeusExitMachina: He's often sent off to deal with enemies far more powerful than anyone else in the cast can deal with, forcing Subaru to pick up the slack.
* FlightStrengthHeart: Among Reinhard's abilities, many of which are ridiculously powerful, is the Blessing of Salt Reasoning which prevents him from mixing up salt and sugar.
* {{Foil}}: To Subaru. Reinhard is an example of the overpowered main character archetype that plagues stories of this genre and was written to contrast Subaru's lack of protagonist abilities and potential. Both have extremely overpowered abilities, but Reinhard's allows him to solve every problem by himself, while Subaru has to consistently borrow the powers of his friends to get things done. However, the contrasting ''nature'' of their abilities means that whilst Reinhard can only every resolve crisis situations ''after'' the threat has appeared and caused an immense loss of life, Subaru can preemptively "save" those who are endangered and prevent their demise, something which Reinhard clearly wishes he were capable of. Likewise, both have problems with their families, but Subaru manages to resolve them, while Reinhard's problems continue to get worse. Reinhead's family (his father and Grandfather) have become split into following one of the three throne candidates save Emilia, putting them in opposition to him in the Royal Selection, and despite attempts to patch things up between Reinhard and Wilhelm in arc 5 with Subaru's prompting to the elderly swordsman, [[spoiler:Reinhard cutting down the resurrected form of Theresa during the battle with the Witch Cult and refusing to see that it was anything more than a mindless corpse soldier of the enemy, despite her [[DyingAsYourself regaining her sense of self after the mortal blow]]]], shatters Wilhelm's relationship with him even further and results in him becoming extremely frosty in demeanour towards his Grandson, as opposed to Subaru forming a closer bond to both the elder and younger Astras throughout the ordeal.
* InvincibleHero: He's never even been hurt, much less lost to any enemy he has fought. This contrasts Subaru, who ''appears'' to be an invincible hero only when looked upon in hindsight, and is by far the least combat efficient of the rival knights in the Royal Selection.
* KnightInShiningArmor: He doesn't wear any armor, but is part of the Royal Guards and fits all of the characteristics.
* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Reinhard is a perfect NiceGuy all-around. His father, however, is a massive {{Jerkass}} -- in part ''[[{{Deconstructed|Trope}} because]]'' his son is so outstanding and perfect a knight, additionally gaining the blessing of the Sword Saint that passed over Heinkel himself despite training himself non-stop to be worthy of the blessing all his life.
* LonelyAtTheTop: For all his blessings he has very few friends, and him inheriting the blessing of the Sword Saint also caused a massive rift between himself and his family. WordOfGod states that this is averted in the [[AlternateUniverse Ayamatsu If]] continuity...until [[RevengeByProxy Subaru works his magic.]] In the present storyline, it's implied that Subaru is something of an OnlyFriend to him, as in his ignorance of Reinhard's capabilities during their first meeting in arc 1, he treated him as an equal and compatriot, which few if any have actually done towards the Sword Saint. Even after becoming aware of how absurdly powerful Reinhard actually is, Subaru nonetheless is determined to become an outstanding knight who can "do the things that [Reinhard] can't do" as a rival knight in the Royal Selection, pleasing Reinhard that there is somebody out there who actually believes [[IJustWantToBeNormal he does have limits like an ordinary person]].
* MasterSwordsman: Comes with the title of Sword Saint. His sword skills are top-notch.
* MundaneUtility: Besides the blessings that made him an impossibly powerful, there are ones that he uses for everyday stuff, like cooking.
* NiceGuy: He's possibly the most perfect friendly guy out there. Subaru even points out how likable he is during their first meeting.
-->'''Subaru:''' [[LampshadeHanging Wow, this guy's nice guy index is off the charts.]]
* RedIsHeroic: He's the strongest hero of his world and has red hair, like everyone else of the House Astrea.
* StockLightNovelHero: Subaru is a deconstruction of the trope, but Reinhard is the trope ''almost'' played straight. It would only be straighter if he were the main character.
* StoryBreakerPower: The only reason Reinhard doesn't eliminate every obstacle in the story instantly is that he is either distracted or in another place. In fact, this is something commented upon by several characters, who note he has the power to resolve any crises he encounters like a true hero, regardless of the apparently-impossible odds, but he himself is always absent whenever such a situation is occurring for various reasons, either due to the crisis occurring in another location, or being too low-key for him to catch wind of it. Accordingly, despite being a 'hero' he is unable to save those whose lives are lost in the time it takes him to arrive, and he himself is deeply aware of this limitation despite his overwhelming strength. Furthermore, as a technical rival to Subaru and Emilia because of him being Felt's knight, him resolving their crises situations for them reflects badly on their capabilities. Accordingly, Subaru often has to find a solution to his problems himself, and Reinhard's immense skills are usually showcased in a BadFuture after Subaru died in that timeline.
* SuperpowerLottery: Reinhard's ability is to gain any powers he needs at any time. This allows him to fight equally to essentially every threat.
* TheVonTropeFamily: His family name is van Astrea.
* WalkOnWater: One of his many blessings gives him the ability to walk on water.
* WorldsBestWarrior: Quite possibly the best swordsman in the world.
* WorldsStrongestMan: The only known character that is possibly stronger than Reinhard is Satella, and she destroyed half of the world.
!!!Tropes that apply to him in the ''Ayamatsu If'' timeline:
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: According to WordOfGod, Reinhard's family problems have been resolved and they're on better terms than the main series. Too bad Subaru came along and wrecked things...
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: {{Inverted|Trope}} with his family as WordOfGod states they have a better relationship than the main series. Then later played straight as Reinhard loses his family, friends, reputation, and the entire kingdom he served due to a very personal grudge on Subaru's end.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Subaru sees him as this for being able to resolve the problem against Elsa easily while he himself have failed for over 80 loops. This leads to '''very''' terrible consequences for Reinhard.
* ArchEnemy: Is unknowingly this for Subaru, and after losing everything that he love by the former's actions, it becomes [[ItsPersonal personal]] on Reinhard's end.
* BewilderingPunishment: As far as he's concerned, [[spoiler:[[VillainProtagonist Subaru]] came from ''literally'' nowhere to murder his loved ones and destroy the Capital... all for the goal of ruining his reputation as a flawless knight. Though to be fair, it's not as if Subaru, who's already undergoing SanitySlippage from abusing Return by Death to the full extent, could really [[InsaneTrollLogic explain his motivations]] either.]]
* CreateYourOwnVillain: His actions (and, in this case, ''lack'' of actions) at the start of ''Ayamatsu If'' are what shape Subaru into a VillainProtagonist - which leads to terrible things befalling every other named character, including himself.
* ForWantOfANail: ''Is'' the nail in the ''Ayamatsu If'' - him not coming to Subaru's aid against the thugs in the alley causes Subaru to experience over 80 loops of failing to save Emilia, which [[SanitySlippage does a number on his sanity]]. And ''then'' he unknowingly causes this unstable Subaru to experience his DespairEventHorizon...
* GoodCounterpart: To [[VillainProtagonist Subaru]] in this timeline, and unlike the main series, Reinhard's family problems have been resolved while Subaru's have gone through the deep end. Subaru himself [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this, and outright admits that one of the driving forces in his [[RevengeThroughCorruption campaign]] [[RevengeByProxy against]] Reinhard is his [[GreenEyedMonster envy over him]].
* HeroAntagonist: In this timeline, Subaru is the VillainProtagonist who succeeds at destroying the kingdom that Reinhard wanted to protect.
* InvincibleHero: {{Deconstructed|Trope}} to a horrific degree in this timeline. Despite Subaru's fall to villainy and abuse of Return by Death, he can ''never'' defeat [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter Reinhard]] directly no matter how many times he resets. [[spoiler:Instead, Subaru has to settle for trying to destroy the country around Reinhard instead, leaving him technically undefeated, but having absolutely failed in being able to use his overwhelming power to protect a single thing.]]
* IsThisWhatAngerFeelsLike: [[VillainProtagonist Subaru's]] [[RevengeByProxy actions]] in this cause Reinhard to feel hatred towards an enemy for the very first time.
* PowerfulAndHelpless: Which Subaru has proven in this timeline. Reinhard's [[SuperpowerLottery Divine]] [[AdaptiveAbility Protection]] is more than capable of preventing him from being killed or physically defeated directly ''and'' indirectly by Subaru, even when he abused Return by Death to StoryBreakerPower levels. [[spoiler:However, none of that matters against someone who can loop back at a certain point in time to learning everything that would make Reinhard ''tick'' to where Subaru is able to exploit and put the Sword Saint through a ''living hell of [[ForcedToWatch watching]] everything around him crumble''.]]

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heinkel_character_art.png]]

The son of Wilhelm and Theresia and Reinhard's father. He is the Deputy Commander of the Kingdom Knights.
----
* AlcoholicParent: Due to his wife falling into a coma and his mother dying in the battle against the White Whale, as well as detesting Reinhard's perfection at everything, Heinkel resorted to heavy drinking, which further ruined his relationship with his son.
* BrokenPedestal: Early in his life, Reinhard viewed his father as a hero, but their relationship fell apart after Heinkel became a terrible {{Jerkass}}, especially to his own son.
* EvilRedhead: He has red hair like his son, but lacks all of the latter's virtues and replaces them with {{jerkass}}ery.
* HatesTheirParent: {{Inverted|Trope}}. Heinkel hates his son Reinhard for being so perfect and powerful, as well as blaming him for his paternal grandmother's death. [[spoiler:After Reinhard disposes of Theresia's reanimated corpse, Heinkel vows to ruin his son's reputation once and for all.]]
* IHaveYourWife: During Arc 5, [[spoiler:when the Witch Cult attacks the Water Gate City of Priestella, Heinkel kidnaps Felt and forces Reinhard to stay by his side and protect him.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Heinkel is a slovenly, arrogant and brash man who is not ashamed to throw around his position to intimidate others for petty reasons.
* MasterSwordsman: Even though he didn't get the title of Sword Saint, he acquits himself well protecting Priscilla from assassins after the events of Arc 5, and it's noted that his swordplay is extremely refined and beautiful in action, contrasting with his appearance and attitude. Priscilla even took him on as a servant precisely because he has the fighting skills of the Astrea line despite everything else lacking about him.
* {{Nepotism}}: Heinkel uses his son's title as the Sword Saint, to retain his position of the Vice Captain of the Royal Guard.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Heinkel never slacked off a day in training his swordplay despite his numberous flaws and failings, and more importantly, the impossibility of him ever becoming an outstanding individual like his father and son.

[[folder:Sylphy]]
!!Sylphy / No.184
One of Regulus' wives and often acts as representative of them.

* BrokenBird: Due to years of having to live in fear of being killed for even smiling in front of Regulus, Sylphy developed a cold and emotionless personality.
* YouAreNumberSix: She's Regulus Corneas' 184th wife and is mainly referred to by her number.

* AdvertisedExtra: After the first story arc is done and her eventual return for a few episodes in the third arc, she doesn't have much presence in many story arcs.

* AdaptiveAbility: Reinhard's ability allows him to gain blessings in response to the situations he is placed in. In addition, these new blessings don't disappear afterward, allowing him to stack abilities to become almost invincible. During a trip to Volakia, Julius witnessed him fighting off a small army of {{Half Human Hybrids}} without a scratch despite their unique fighting styles, noting that it was due to the combination of the 'first-sight blessing', allowing him to instinctively understand how to react to an attack he is seeing for the first time, and the 'twice-seen' blessing, which enables him to react with greater speed to an attack he has witnessed before, making it functionally ''impossible'' to hit him with a new or repeated attack, especially with his insane physical abilities.

* {{Foil}}: To Subaru. Reinhard is an example of the overpowered main character archetype that plagues stories of this genre and was written to contrast Subaru's lack of protagonist abilities and potential. Both have extremely overpowered abilities, but Reinhard's allows him to solve every problem by himself, while Subaru has to consistently borrow the powers of his friends to get things done. However, the contrasting ''nature'' of their abilities means that whilst Reinhard can only every resolve crises situations ''after'' the threat has appeared and caused an immense loss of life, Subaru can preemptively "save" those who are endangered and prevent their demise, something which Reinhard clearly wishes he were capable of. Likewise, both have problems with their families, but Subaru manages to resolve them, while Reinhard's problems continue to get worse. Reinhead's family (his father and Grandfather) have become split into following one of the three throne candidates save Emilia, putting them in opposition to him in the Royal Selection, and despite attempts to patch things up between Reinhard and Wilhelm in arc 5 with Subaru's prompting to the elderly swordsman, [[spoiler:Reinhard cutting down the resurrected form of Theresa during the battle with the Witch Cult and refusing to see that it was anything more than a mindless corpse soldier of the enemy, despite her [[DyingAsYourself regaining her sense of self after the mortal blow]]]], shatters Wilhelm's relationship with him even further and results in him becoming extremely frosty in demeanour towards his Grandson, as opposed to Subaru forming a closer bond to both the elder and younger Astras throughout the ordeal.

* BewilderingPunishment: As far as he's concerned, [[spoiler:[[VillainProtagonist Subaru]] came from ''literally'' nowhere to murder his loved ones and destroy the Capital... all for the goal of ruining his reputation as a flawless knight. Though to be fair, it's not as if Subaru, who's already undergoing SanitySlippage from abusing Return By Death to the full extent, could really [[InsaneTrollLogic explain his motivations]] either.]]

* InvincibleHero: {{Deconstructed|Trope}} to a horrific degree in this timeline. Despite Subaru's fall to villainy and abuse of Return by Death, he can ''never'' defeat [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter Reinhard]] directly no matter how many times he resets. [[spoiler:Instead, Subaru has to settle for trying to destroy the country around Reinhard instead, leaving him technically undefeated, but having absolutely failed in being able to use his overwhelming power to protect a single thing.]]
* PowerfulAndHelpless: Which Subaru has proven in this timeline. Reinhard's [[SuperpowerLottery Divine]] [[AdaptiveAbility Protection]] is more than capable of preventing him from being killed or physically defeated directly ''and'' indirectly by Subaru, even when he abused Return By Death to StoryBreakerPower levels. [[spoiler:However, none of that matters against someone who can loop back at a certain point in time to learning everything that would make Reinhard ''tick'' to where Subaru is able to exploit and put the Sword Saint through a ''living hell of [[ForcedToWatch watching]] everything around him crumble''.]]

* DirtyCoward: He's perfectly willing to blackmail his own son to force him to act his bodyguard during an emergency. However, he later acquits himself well protecting Pricilla from assassins after the events of Arc 5, and it's noted that his swordplay is extremely refined and beautiful in action, contrasting with his appearance and attitude, Heinkel never having slacked off a day in training his swordplay despite his numberous flaws and failings despite the impossibility of him even becoming an outstanding individual like his father and son. Priscilla even took him on as a servant precisely becuase he has the fighting skills of the Astra line despite everything else lacking about him. This implies his actions in taking Felt hostage were not purely due to cowardice, but spite as well towards his son rushing off to instantly resolve the criss.

* DaywalkingVampire: She's a vampire, but Elsa can walk in daylight without any problem.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: [[spoiler:Instead of being incinerated into ash, Garfiel simply just crushes her with the Guiltypig's giant corpse after incapacitating her bytearing into her neck during their battle in the anime. This is more becuase the anime didn't;t have time to show off her post-death final "[[RunOrDie fight]]" with Subaru though]]

* EvenEvilCanBeLoved: As much of a sadistic murderer Elsa is, she and Meili truly care about one another. So much so that Meili sought to find a way to avenge her death.

* KillItWithFire: [[spoiler:She ends up incinerated the flaming wreckage of the Mathers' Mansion, accidentally causing a backdraft by cutting through a wooden door in pursuit of Subaru --something the latter had recognised would happen, but trusted beatrice to use her spacial warping technique to protect him when he opened it himself.]]

* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler: Whilst already deceased, her corpse moves on pure psychotic instinct to try and gut Subaru in its last moments before the mansion burns down, ultimately chopping through a wooden door he ran into in Roswall's secret passage trying to reach him. This causes a backdraft to erupt that violently disintegrates Elsa's remaining corpse and blows the mansion apart, something Subaru had recognised the signs of before he opened the door, but trusted Beatrice to protect him when he opened it anyway]].

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Despite being a vampire, she doesn't drink blood, nor does she receive any ill effects when under the sun. In addition, after being killed enough times Elsa reverts to a mindless wraith-like being. [[spoiler:Side-stories clarify that she's actually an imperfect "corpse doll" that was supposed to be perfected after killing a certain number of targets to enhance her body and regenerative capabilities, but since completing the procedure would have [[DeathOfPersonality erased her mind and sense of self]], Elsa stopped at the last one, so she could continue to revel in the joy of watching the strewn bowels of her targets whilst reaping the healing abilities of her near-perfected state. Garfiel merely mistook Elsa for one during their duel and she saw no reason to clarify because the actual answer was close enough for their purposes]].

* FantasticRacism: Loathes all half-elves because of Satella's actions.
* KnightTemplar: Actively tries to murder Emilia because of her half-elf nature, regardless of her actions, causing considerable collateral damage in the process.
* LightIsNotGood:

* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Reinhard is a perfect NiceGuy all-around. His father, however, is a massive {{Jerkass}} -- in part ''[[Deconstructed|Trope because]]'' his son is so outstanding and perfect a knight, additionally gaining the blessing of the Sword Saint that passed over Heinkel himself despite training himself non-stop to be worthy of the blessing all his life.

** In every loop in which she kills Subaru, Elsa is displayed as taking a particular interest in torturing him specifically. With everyone else she kills, she doesn't draw it out nearly as much.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Despite being a vampire, she doesn't drink blood, nor does she receive any ill effects when under the sun. In addition, after being killed enough times Elsa reverts to a mindless wraith-like being.

%%* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:In some of the loops where Subaru is greeted with the Great Rabbit, it's never expanded upon as to what happened to her. It can be presumed she either fled beforehand, or was killed with everyone else.]]

* BattleAmongstTheFlames: [[spoiler: Her fight with Garfiel amidst the ruins of Roswaal's burning mansion certainly counts.]]

* CombatSadomasochist: Elsa rather enjoys cutting people apart. In addition, she practically moaned upon taking a hit from Subaru. During her battle with [[spoiler:Garfiel]], she repeatedly compliments her enemy whenever he succesfully (and painfully) damages her.

* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: [[spoiler:Instead of being incinerated into ash, Garfiel simply just crushes her with a giant piece of debris after tearing into her neck during their battle in the anime.]]

* HalfTheWomanSheUsedToBe: [[spoiler: Ends up getting cut in half after fighting Garfiel and dying multiple times.]]

* InvincibleVillain: Especially at the start of the series, where Subaru is only able to defeat her by getting Reinhard's help. It's even telling that in the Ayamatsu If timeline, where Subaru didn't receive Reinhard's help, he failed to defeat Elsa for over ''80 loops''.

* KillItWithFire: [[spoiler:She ends up incinerated the flaming wreckage of the Mathers' Mansion.]]

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Despite being a vampire, she doesn't drink blood, nor does she receive any ill effects when under the sun. In addition, after being killed enough times Elsa reverts to a mindless wraith-like being.

* InvincibleHero: He's never even been hurt, much less lost to any enemy he has fought.

* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Reinhard is a perfect NiceGuy all-around. His father, however, is a massive {{Jerkass}}.

* DirtyCoward: He's perfectly willing to blackmail his own son to force him to act his bodyguard during an emergency.

* {{Foil}}: To Subaru. Reinhard is an example of the overpowered main character archetype that plagues stories of this genre and was written to contrast Subaru's lack of protagonist abilities and potential.

Likewise, both have problems with their families, but Subaru manages to resolve them, while Reinhard's problems continue to get worse.

* LonelyAtTheTop: For all his blessings he has very few friends, and him inheriting the blessing of the Sword Saint also caused a massive rift between himself and his family. WordOfGod states that this is averted in the [[AlternateUniverse Ayamatsu If]] continuity...until [[RevengeByProxy Subaru works his magic.]]

* AirWhale: A literal flying MonsterWhale that has menaced the world for centuries.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: He's always barefoot. Possibly a case of BarefootPoverty, given the slums he lives in.

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: According to WordOfGod, Reinhard's family problems have been resolved and they're on better terms than the main series. Too bad Subaru came along and wreck things...

* BareYourMidriff: Her outfit is basically a bikini, leaving her midriff exposed.

* DarkandTroubledPast: [[spoiler: Two years after his birth,his mother fell in a coma. At the age of five, he obtained the title of the Sword Saint after his grandmother Theresia van Astrea passed away during her fierce battle with the Hakugei. The reason for her death was the sudden loss of her Divine Protection of the Sword Saint which mysteriously disappeared midway through the battle, transferring to young Reinhard. His grandfather, Wilhelm van Astrea, blamed Reinhard for her death, causing their relationship to plummet, leaving only his father who still cared about him. Sadly, his relationship with his father gravely deteriorated as well. After he gained the aforementioned blessing, his father became an alcoholic, and gradually starting to blame him for Theresia's death as well; it didn't take long for Reinhard to be despised by his closest family members. As the strongest individual in the Royal Kingdom of Lugnica, he was forced to join the Royal Guard at the age of fourteen, becoming the strongest weapon in the Kingdom's possession]].
