!Main Characters
[[folder:Yūichirō Hyakuya]]
!Yūichirō Hyakuya
!!!Voiced by: Creator/MiyuIrino (Japanese), Creator/MicahSolusod (English)

The main protagonist of the Seraph of the End series.

* {{Adorkable}}: Kicks in post-CharacterDevelopment. He starts to gets excited over the littlest things, like finding out that [[http://bato.to/read/_/234118/owari-no-seraph_v3_ch10_by_imperial-scans/8 Kimizuki can drive]].
* AffectionateNickname: His name is generally shortened to "Yuu," some characters add honorifics, such as Mikaela calls him "Yuu-chan" and Shinoa calls him "Yuu-san."
* AmbiguouslyBi: Yuu seems appreciative of the girls who are attracted to him but also has an obsession with protecting Mika and being close to him.
* AntiHero: He is fundamentally a good person, but is also moody and anti-social. This is subverted later on after his Character Development kicks in.
* {{Badass}}
* BadassBoast: To a vampire who claims humans to be "despicable" after revealing that Yuu and co.'s informant lied to them in order to protect her family:
-->'''Yuu:''' Humans are despicable? Ready to betray their own brethren just to save a family member who's been taken hostage? That's correct. Humans would do anything to save their family. They're ready to lie, and turn themselves into devils and demons. If that is what you mean by despicable, then tremble in fear, as this despicable human kills you, vampires!
* BookDumb: He completely failed all of his exams, in a complete contrast to Kimizuki.
** Justified in that growing up in a vampire city led him to miss out on a lot of schooling.
* BullyHunter: Subverted. Yuu speaks up to the bullies picking on Yoichi... but it's really more that he's looking for a fight than that he's angry on Yoichi's behalf.
* CelibateHero: He starts off as this. After shedding his IneffectualLoner image, however, there's been ShipTease between him and Shinoa, not to mention others.
* CharacterDevelopment: He started this series as being anti-social and doesn't like to bond with others seeing that he lost his "family" in the orphanage to the vampires. Over the course of the series, he becomes more open to his feeling and ends up valuing ThePowerOfFriendship. He starts off in the series fighting the vampires simply for revenge, but he later establish his purpose of fighting the vampires for protecting his new comrades and trusting them.
* ChickMagnet: Has had at least three girls develop romantic feelings for him, one of which actually confessed to him in chapter 3.
* TheChosenOne: Guren mentions a prophecy about Yūichirō when he finds him escaping from the Vampires' underground city, but another eight chapters later and we still have no idea what this means.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: [[spoiler: A rare inversion of the trope. He gets Asuramaru to relinquish his power to him by promising to be his friend]].
* {{Determinator}}: He can shake off a demon's attempt to control him with barely any effort.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Hinted at with Mika, Kimizuki, Yoichi, the list goes on.
* FishOutOfWater: Yuu is largely unfamiliar with how most of human society works and doesn't care to learn.
* HairTriggerTemper: Has a very short temper, the fuse is often lit when either dealing with vampires or being mentioned about his old family at the orphanage. His temper mellowed down after CharacterDevelopment, however.
* HotBlooded: So very much.
* IdiotHero: He's not that smart.
* IneffectualLoner: The first arc of the manga or so is primarily about him learning to cooperate with others. [[spoiler:However, the trope comes back into effect during the battle in Nagoya, when he refuses to leave Guren who was captured by vampires, and goes back for him alone. Even when using more power than usual having consumed three enhancement pills, he's still no match for Crowley, and almost turned into a demon if not for Kimizuki saving him.]]
* IWorkAlone: The first arc is basically about knocking this mentality out of him.
* InSeriesNickname: Is referred to as Mika's "princess" by Ferid.
* KidHero: He's only 16.
* LeeroyJenkins: He is a mixture of being HotBlooded and a case of ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight. Mitsuba, having once been the same, hates him for it.
* AManIsNotAVirgin: Averted. Shinoa and Guren like to remind him of that ''all the time''. As Shinoa explains, they need people to procreate and rebuild humanity!
* NeverBeHurtAgain: As Shinoa notes, the reason why he's so anti-social is because he's afraid of losing the people important to him again.
* NiceGuy: Especially noticeable in later chapters after his CharacterDevelopment kicks in.
* ObliviousToLove: He doesn't seem to realize that both Shinoa and Mitsuba have feelings for him.
* OffingTheOffspring: His dad apparently tried to kill him in the past, and his mom left him in a burning building while screaming about how he's a demon and she has to kill him. Yikes.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: It is used as a sign for his character development. After the fight in Shinjuku, relieved to know that his friends are still alive and touched that they were worried about him, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Yuu]] tells his team that he's blessed to have friends like them. Their reactions say it all:
-->'''Kimizuki:''' Hey hey, are you sure you don't need more treatment?\\
'''Mitsuba:''' Please stop the nice kid appeal.\\
'''Yoichi:''' He obviously hit his head.\\
'''Shinoa:''' No no, couldn't it be that he has been a nice kid from the start?\\
'''Yuu:''' Which one of you wants to get thrown out the window?
* RedOniBlueOni: He and Mikaela are a prime example of this trope. Yuu is hotblooded, fiery, and full of determination. Mika, though, despite having some obsessive qualities, is level-headed, calm, and often a voice of reason to his friend.
* {{Revenge}}: This is Yuu's main--and initially only, as far as he's concerned--motivation in life. However, thanks to CharacterDevelopment, he also includes protecting his new comrades as his goal as well.
* SkewedPriorities: Despite the completely rational reasoning of his team and superiors, Yuu often decides to act on his own due to this.
* SoleSurvivor: Of the Hyakuya Orphanage. Needless to say, SurvivorGuilt accompanies it. Subverted when it's revealed that Mika is still alive.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler:Yuu, as the titular Seraph of the End, has one.]]
* TearsOfBlood: [[spoiler:He cries these after going berserk.]]
* TookALevelInKindness: After dropping the IneffectualLoner shtick, he's a much friendlier person, especially after the battle in Shibuya.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Kimizuki. They frequently butt heads and argue.

* AffectionateNickname: Is called "Mika" by Yuu.
* {{Badass}}
* BerserkButton: He ''really'' doesn't take well to people messing with Yuu.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Has had this since he was young, and even now Mika clearly feels protective of and identifies with children. Even though he feels he has to protect them from himself.
* {{Bishonen}}
* BridalCarry: Carries Yuu like this in Chapter 13/Episode 11 when trying to run away with him. He carries him like this again in Chapter 35-36/Season 2 Episode 9-10, and ''once again'' in Chapter 40.
* [[ManInWhite Boy In White]]
* BreakTheCutie: When he lost his entire family and was turned into a vampire. He continues to be tortured by this due to his constant craving for human blood.
* ButNotTooForeign: He's noted multiple times to have foreign appearance. WordOfGod is that he's half Russian.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Sure, he's a vampire, but he's one of the few heroic vampires despite working with the ObviouslyEvil vampires and is very protective of Yuu's well-being.
* DeliberatelyCuteChild: Purposefully put on a cute act on occasion in order to disguise his other motives and feelings as a child.
* FaceMonsterTurn: Was turned into a vampire by Krul without his consent.
* GenderBlenderName: Mikaela is a name that is more often given to girls.
* GuileHero: In the first chapter, as a {{Foil}} to Yuu.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Pre-TimeSkip.
* HatesEveryoneEqually: He obviously hates vampires mainly because he was forced to turn into one and Ferid killing his "family". However, he also hates humanity, not because of HumansAreTheRealMonsters trope, but how humanity has treated and uses Yuu.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Is notably arrogant, but it acts as a defense mechanism to cover his other insecurities.
* IcyBlueEyes: Before [[spoiler:he drank Yuu's blood]] in Chapter 36.
* ItsAllMyFault: Blames himself for the other orphans' death.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Mika has a complicated Master/Servant relationship with Krul.
* PhenotypeStereotype: Subverted. WordOfGod is that he's half-Russian.
* RedOniBlueOni: He and Yuu are a prime example of this trope. Mika, despite having some obsessive qualities, is level-headed, calm, and often a voice of reason to his friend. Yuu on the other hand is hotblooded, fiery, and full of determination.
* SourOutsideSadInside: Is openly hostile to other characters at times in order to keep a distance.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: While he may typically act reserved and unsociable, he becomes more warm and emotional around Yuu.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler:Mikaela is also a Seraph so he likely has one.]] He also has to combat his vampiric instincts.
* TakingTheBullet: Does this for Yu in the [[HeroicSacrifice first chapter]]. Repeats this later on when [[spoiler:he protects Shinoa with his body so Yu won't kill her while berserk, since he knows Yu wouldn't want to see her dead.]]
* TheStoic: Guards his emotions in the present day.
* ThinkHappyThoughts: In order to keep himself and his family happy, when he was younger Mika preferred to look on the bright side and find happiness in the little things.
* TookALevelInCynic: Used to be far more idealistic, now is completely jaded and bitter.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: In the first chapter, he's especially nice, albeit capable of mischief.
* UndyingLoyalty: Mika would do anything for his family, and will always be loyal to Yuu.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Considering Mika's circumstances, the lengths he goes to are somewhat understandable...
* {{Yandere}}: His behavior in regards to Yuu feels a lot like this, ranging from a disturbing level of possessiveness to dismembering anybody who dares to threaten him.
* YouLeaveHimAlone: Has said this in a variety of ways more than once. Mika just wants the humans to stop using Yuu, and gets very aggressive towards other vampires approaching Yuu.
* YouShallNotPass: Pushes Yuu away in the first chapter so he can escape before other vampires come to kill them.

* PerpetualSmiler: She's hardly ever seen without a smile on her face.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: Shinoa is only 150 cm (4'11") tall, but she is more than capable of kicking your ass. See also LittleMissBadass above.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Being a member of the Hīragi family, Shinoa can get away with breaking the rules.
* ShipTease: She's been getting a lot with Yuu. By chapter 20, she has developed a crush on him.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking
* BadassBookworm: He's very intelligent as well as skilled in battle.
* BerserkButton: Harming his comrades.
* BrokenAce
* BullyingADragon: Back in high school. The amount of abuse he endured in his time at First Shibuya High is astonishing. The Hīragi family had something of a history of hazing those of the Ichinose and Guren didn't want to show the Hīragi anything about his family's abilities so he decided to quietly endure despite being stronger than his tormenters.
* ByronicHero
* ChickMagnet: Girls are drawn to him like flies to tsundere honey.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Mahiru after 10 years of separation.
* ColonelBadass: His position in the army is Lieutenant Colonel.
* CombatPragmatist: Even though he is strong, he is well aware of the fact that most vampire nobles are stronger and will not hesitate to use dirty tricks in battle.
* CoolLoser: Starts this way in the Light Novels, by his own design.
* DemonicPossession: Although he thinks he has a handle on it, Mahiru has possessed him several times in the past. [[spoiler: In fact, she's been using his body to contact Ferid for her own agenda.]]
* {{Determinator}}
* FailureKnight
* AFatherToHisMen
* FireForgedFriends: With the rest of his crew and Shinya.
* GenreSavvy: [[ThePowerOfFriendship He insists on Yuu making friends]]. It works.
* GoodIsNotNice
* HairTriggerTemper: He has no patience for Yuu's stupidity.
* HeartbrokenBadass: After losing Mahiru.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Quite literally so. The Light Novel series (which is a prequel to the manga) focuses on his teen years.
* HeroesPreferSwords
* InHarmsWay: Pretty much all the time.
* ItsAllMyFault: He takes responsibility for any failures or deaths of the people under his command.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The reason why his friends stick with him no matter what.
** Possibly a JerkassFacade. In the Light Novels, it's clear that he acts extra prickly to keep others away.
* KnightInSourArmor
* KungFuWizard: This is much more emphasized in the Light Novels, where everyone practiced sorcery and martial arts at First Shibuya.
* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Guren's father was much more compliant and apologetic toward Hīragi-dominated society. Guren had no intention of doing the same and from an early age planned on overthrowing the Hīragis.
* MagneticHero: Much to his chagrin, at first.
* MarriedToTheJob
* TheMenFirst: His general attitude in battle. This makes sense because of the nature of most of his missions: he's usually there to cause a commotion and distract the vampires long enough for the main army to act.
* MessyHair
* MrFanservice
* MyGreatestFailure: Failing to save Mahiru.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Has a habit of resorting to loud arguing and violence when either [[HotBlooded Yuu]] or [[{{Troll}} Shinoa]] get on his nerves.
* NotSoStoic: Losing men is devastating.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: He pretended to be incompetent in high school because he didn't want to let the Hīragis know his true power. The illusion didn't last long.
* PapaWolf: He sees his squad members and comrades as part of his family. Any attempts to harm them will result in a very angry backlash from him.
* ParentalHypocrisy: Guren's always telling Yuu to get along better with his friends when he himself will sooner die than admit out loud that he cares about his friends.
** He also tells him to respect his superiors when he himself is rather well known for being disrespectful, to the point that Shinya has to stay back at meetings to smooth out any ruffled feathers.
* ParentalSubstitute: To Yūichirō. He was the one who take care of and train him after rescuing him from Sanguinem.
* PetTheDog: Literally patting Yuu on the head in some rare SoProudOfYou moments.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Highly values this and encourages Yuu to open up his feelings and make friends.
* PurpleEyes
* SacrificialLion: Kureto always uses Guren as a decoy in his grand strategies, which often puts him in extreme danger.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Mahiru, essentially. Despite all his trash talk with Yuu, Guren has never shown interest in anyone else.
* SirSwearsALot
* SoProudOfYou: Whenever Yuu talks about the importance of friends and family.
* SourOutsideSadInside: Despite his bluster, Guren is still grieving over Mahiru.
* StarCrossedLovers: With [[spoiler: Mahiru.]]
* SupportingLeader
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Well, he's definitely not hard on the eyes.
* TeamDad: Especially important because so many of the characters are orphans or have other [[DarkAndTroubledPast issues]].
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: It seems, at least relative to his 16 year old self.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Shinya.
* AWolfInSheepsClothing: He tried to keep his abilities hidden while under the watch of the Hiiragis.
* TheWorfEffect: Guren gets beat up the most by far out of the recurring characters, even though he is one of the strongest human fighters.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: In the Light Novels, she's described as having hair the color of wheat.

!Demons

The source of magical powers. They used to be vampires, who were later turned into demons under certain circumstances.

[[folder:In General]]

!!Tropes that apply to Demons:
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Same reason as Vampires.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent:
** They used to be vampires, who were later turned into demons under certain circumstances. It is said that all vampires become demons in the end. It is not mandatory to first become a vampire in order to become a demon. One may be born with the trait inherited from a demon-possessed parent and gradually become a true demon. One may also become a demon after contact with a demon.
** They can be sealed in what the humans call Cursed Gear. Stronger vampires make stronger demons, which make stronger Cursed Gear. Through a contract ceremony, the human tries to convince the demon to give him/her power and if they are successful, the demon makes a [[MagicallyBindingContract contract]] with said human and becomes their Cursed Gear. The only reason demons form this contract is to have an opportunity at stealing their host's body. In return, demons allow their hosts to have immense power.
** Demons are purely benevolent creatures born from passionate desire, so they appear at the age when they were most innocent and pure, when they felt that everything was possible.
** Demons [[EmotionEater feed off of desire]], but are [[ThePowerOfLove weakened by love]].
** There are two types of demons: Manifestation and Possession.
*** Manifestation types demons have the convenient ability to remain in a smaller, more portable size or manifest into the full-sized weapon at will. They may have the power to cast blessings or curses. Manifestation is the state in which the user lets his or her contracted demon come out and be able to use its special power. This drastically reduces the defensive abilities of the host since the demon moves elsewhere. These types of demons work best at different ranges, and the type of ability varies.
*** Possession types are demons whose malice is too strong, making it ferocious. They refuse to submit so easily and are mean and aggressive. They are hell-bent on [[DemonicPossession possessing its user]], and it is common for them to engage in close combat to display their might. They cannot change into a portable size or manifest. They are more well-balanced for offense and defense than manifestation-types because activating their particular capabilities does not leave their hosts vulnerable. They increase the physical strength and power of their user. They are typically limited to close-range combat or melee fighting. They are not supposed to have the special abilities seen with manifestation-type demons.
** There are several ranks in which demons are classified: Black Demon Series / Bodhisattva (which are highest rank of demons and thus the most powerful in terms of capability) Rakshasa / Dakini, Child, Wisdom Kings, Yaksha, and Myo-O (the lowest rank of demons.)
