TheGrimReaper and head of Shibusen. Most of the time he behaves like a complete goofball, but he can be a terrifyingly powerful fighting force when things [[LetsGetDangerous get serious]]. His soul wavelength is so large that it covers all of Death City. Spirit Albarn is Shinigami-sama's current partner, much to the latter's constant annoyance.

* {{Shinigami}}

to:

* {{Shinigami}}{{Shinigami}}: He's actually much closer to the original western concept of TheGrimReaper than most uses of the trope, as he is a literal AnthropomorphicPersonification of death rather than simply a spirit thereof.



A zombie who was once a teacher and meister at Shibusen. Post-mortem, he still serves Shinigami-sama faithfully, and he partners with Nygus in battle. He is named after Syd Barrett from PinkFloyd.

Dr. Franken Stein is a teacher at Shibusen and the most powerful meister to ever graduate from the school. Memorable for being a textbook MadScientist, albeit a heroic one. He was Spirit Albarn's first meister, until Spirit was driven off by Stein's obsession with dissecting anything and everything, including Spirit himself.

!!Lord Death[=/=]{{Shinigami}}-sama
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/53236.jpg

-->Voiced by: RikiyaKoyama (JP), JohnSwasey (EN)

TheGrimReaper and head of Shibusen. Most of the time he behaves like a complete goofball, but he can be a terrifyingly powerful fighting force when things [[LetsGetDangerous get serious]]. His soul wavelength is so large that it covers all of Shibusen. Spirit Albarn is Shinigami-sama's current partner, much to the latter's constant annoyance.
-----
* {{A Form You Are Comfortable With}}: He didn't make too many changes, but yes, originally a lot meaner looking. Then he decided to raise a school; and that involved human children. So he came up with a goofy face and persona so that DEATH would not be scary.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Shini = death, Gami = god.
** That's a name he uses, but it's really not clear whether he's ''actually'' the embodiment of death, though the way souls reflect a person's nature suggests this could be the case.
*** [[spoiler:An massive, inky ''thing' sealed within the Book of Eibon has called him a fellow "[[EldritchAbomination Great Old One]]", the "Madness of Law". So yeah, him being an AnthropomorphicPersonification is looking more likely]].
*** Further supported by his full English title: "Lord Death, the Grim Reaper Himself"
* AsYouKnowBob: ''Constantly'' at the beginning of the series.
* BadAss
** BadassBaritone: When things get serious he voice deepens.
* BigGood
* BarrierMaiden: Limited to the foundations of Shibusen for the purposes of sealing the first Kishin. Asura got out, Shinigami-sama did not.
** Has something of BarrierWarrior too, as he tries to crush Asura with a shield.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: His reaction to Asura's escape, after spending the series to date happily goofy and mostly harmless.
* BumblingDad: At least as a façade. However, Kid clearly respects him.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Highly unpredictable and eccentric, capable of switching between absurdly daft and effectively dangerous very quickly.
* CloudCuckooLander: "Mandolin?"
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He's incredibly powerful, and hell, downright terrifying when he gets serious. However his playful side is genuine.
* DontFearTheReaper: [[JustifiedTrope Done deliberately]] so he could start a school without children being afraid of him.
* EccentricMentor
* [[spoiler:EldritchAbomination]]: [[spoiler:A fairly benevolent one but still.]]
* [[GoodParents Good Father]]
* GrimReaper
* LetsGetDangerous: When Asura is released, his dopey round eyes turn triangular and angry, and his comedic karate chop creates shockwaves and leaves a crater upon impact.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Depending on how far his current persona is a pretence. [[BecomingTheMask He might really have 'gotten used' to it.]]
* OddFriendship: Him and Spirit. Teasing, arguments, impatience, odd moments of concern for one another. Pretty much like any other meister/Weapon pair, in fact.
* PreAsskickingOneLiner: "It's time for you to die again."
* {{Shinigami}}

!!Sid Barett
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/53239.jpg

-->Voiced by: MasafumiKimura (JP), KentWilliams (EN)

A zombie who was once a teacher and meister at Shibusen. Post-mortem, he still serves Shinigami-sama faithfully, and he partners with Nygus in battle. He is named after Syd Barrett from PinkFloyd.
-----
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: He's undead so that's probably a good enough excuse for being blue.
* {{Badass}}
* BilingualBonus: His name is spelled Shido in Japanese which means dead person.
* CatchPhrase: "That's the kind of man I was."
** The anime version even gives him a brief pre-zombification cameo where he says "That's the man I am," instead.
* GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Ordinarily battles with his Weapon, [[KnifeNut a knife type]], but is just as handy wielding his own tombstone.
* IWouldSayIfICouldSay: His catch phrase counts for this frequently.
* KnifeNut
* {{Ninja}}: He's Black?Star's teacher, making him a Ninja as well.
** NinjaPirateZombieRobot: An undead teacher ninja.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent
* PowerStrainBlackout: He collapses after using his powers to assist the main trio, their weapons, and Stein to get outside the witch's trap before it closed.
* PromotionToParent: He raised Black?Star after the death of his clan.
* StealthMentor: Because he's, ya know, a {{ninja}}.
* TheUndead: He's a zombie. Apart from looking like a corpse and giving him a catchphrase it doesn't make much difference.

!!Mira Nygus
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/3009724927_1_7_KpqpNY3x_1928.jpg
->Voiced by: JunkoNoda (JP), Shay Moore (EN)

Sid's Demon Weapon partner, who took over as the school nurse after Medusa left. In keeping with her partner's undead theme, she looks like an Egyptian mummy. Her weapon form is a [[KnifeNut combat knife]]. Is revealed to have met Sid by being the prize of a lottery for partner-less meister.
-----
* BandageBabe
* BareYourMidriff
* BlueEyes: Of the cold and piercing variety.
* BoobyTrap: Quite skilled at setting them, as [[spoiler:Mifune]] found out.
* CombatMedic
* FetishFuelStationAttendant: Pretty and dark-skinned lady covered in bandages including a {{sarashi}} who is also a HospitalHottie complete with [[NaughtyNurseOutfit uniform]]. Yes, please.
* HospitalHottie: She's the school nurse and [[BeautifulAllAlong she's actually quite pretty]] underneath the bandages.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: If you don't count the bandages, the only clothes she wears most of the time are a pair of fatigues.
* MeaningfulName: Her name (pronounced as "mee-ruh") means "mummy" in Japanese.
* [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Mummy Ninja]]
* {{Ninja}}
* {{Sarashi}}
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Nygus or Naigus?
** A certain sub rendered it as "Kniges", somewhat fitting given her weapon form.
* TheStoic
** {{Kuudere}}
* TalkingWeapon

!!Dr. Franken Stein
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/37595.jpg

->Voiced by: YuyaUchida (JP), MitsuruMiyamoto (JP - CD dramas), ChuckHuber (EN)

Dr. Franken Stein is a teacher at Shibusen and the most powerful meister to ever graduate from the school. Memorable for being a textbook MadScientist, albeit a heroic one. He was Spirit Albarn's first meister, until Spirit was driven off by Stein's obsession with dissecting anything and everything, including Spirit himself.
-----
* AFatherToHisMen: Beneath his dissection-obsessed MadScientist exterior, he's a good man whose students love him.
* AwesomeByAnalysis
* AxCrazy: Noted in chapter 93 when Spirit compares him to the Kishin.
* {{Badass}}
** BadassBookworm
** BadassLabcoat
* BarehandedBladeBlock
* [[spoiler:ClearMyName]]: [[spoiler:Is accused of murdering Joe Buttataki and ends up disappearing for awhile as result.]]
* CombatMedic
* TheCorruptible: In the anime, especially. The closest to insanity of all in Shibusen, and the bad guys notice.
* CreepyGood: To put this into perspective, he routinely 'experiments on people' and told his partner he switched two of his toes when he was sleeping. He didn't; he was just screwing with him, but the fact that everyone found this a believable thing for him to have done really says it all.
* CreepyMonotone: In the English dub. It's subtle, but it's there.
* DeadlyDoctor
* {{Expy}}: Bears a strong resemblance to [[ShamanKing Faust VIII]], at least personality-wise.
** He's a(n arguably) crazier, less visibly modified [[Film/HellBoy Karl Kroenen]] who's on the side of good... for now.
* FreudianExcuse: He claims he doesn't have one. He tells Medusa of the doctors who wanted to find out what traumatic event could have caused him to act so violently towards others ( with a flashback to a young Stein beating up someone random for no clear reason), and Franken just wanted to cut ''them'' up.
* GeniusBruiser
* GoodOldFisticuffs: He doesn't need a weapon to kick ass.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: He first appears as a StealthMentor, reveals he's really a teacher then [[spoiler:later goes completly nuts and defects to Medusa's side. He gets better]].
** Only the first two apply in the manga.
* HiddenDepths: Obviously an unrepentent MadScientist, but clearly one of the most complex characters in the show.
* HotScientist: It's not on purpose. Not that it really matters. His ShirtlessScene probably helped.
* KiAttacks: The fact that [[SuperpowerLottery he can do this without a weapon]] is one the things that makes him so dangerous,
* LackOfEmpathy: He's certainly not dead inside but it's pointed out that [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove he's not quite capable of love]].
** The latter is Nygus' opinion, and valid given his history, but worth noting Stein's reaction to Marie which immediately follows this claim.
* LightningBruiser
* MadDoctor
* MadScientist
* MadnessMontage
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate
* OralFixationFixation: His signature imported cigarettes...
* ObfuscatingStupidity
* ProfessorGuineaPig
* PunnyName: Obviously a ShoutOut to {{Frankenstein}}.
* ReluctantPsycho: He ''is'' trying to fight the Madness.
* SadistTeacher
* SanitySlippage: Exactly how tight '''can''' he wind that screw in his head?
* ScaryShinyGlasses
* ScienceRelatedMemeticDisorder
* ShipTease: Gets quite a bit with Marie.
** Medusa as well, but that's mostly in the anime.
* SmokingIsCool
* SociopathicHero
* SpecsOfAwesome
* StealthMentor
* StealthPun: He's got a [[MadScientist screw loose]].
** Also, he's [[CoveredWithScars loose at the seams]].
* SwivelChairAntics: initially on a swivel chair performing things for RuleOfFunny.
* TeamDad: Weirdly enough.
** Accepted as such by ''Maka'' who frequently goes to him for advice and is very happy to see him when he returns in the manga.
* [[TokenEvilTeammate Token Chaotic Teammate]]: He's crazier than the rest of the DWMA combined, [[spoiler: and by far the most susceptible to Asura's madness]].
* VisualPun: He's constantly tightening the screw in his head. Meaning he's got a screw loose.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Is definintely morally ambiguous, and has his fair share of fangirls.
