Deciding to replace Buddha in the tournament to avenge Posedion's death, he fights Qin Shi Huang in Round 7. Faced with a counter to his own skillset, Hades makes up for his disadvantage with sheer tactical genius. Deducing that Qin's Heavenly Hand of Defense could simply be overpowered and covering himself in his own blood to feel when the invisible Tortoise Ripple hit him, figuring out that by changing his attack trajectory he could render Tortoise Ripple useless, he puts his foe on the defensive several times. Using his trump card of empowering his Bident with his own blood, he takes Qin's arm and would have won if the First King did not get a last-second Revolund. Hades [[GracefulLoser accepted his death]] happy to have faced a [[WorthyOpponent true king]], and apologizes to his brothers for not being strong enough. One of the few Gods to respect their foe from the beginning despite his anger over his brother's death and connecting with Qin over the duty of a King, Qin's only words for his foe after the end of the fight are "my friend".

[[GadgeteerGenius Inventing technologies]] like the Raw Fish Generator, Twin-Flounder Motor, a giant excavator and a sea urchin-like device, Big Sis is nothing short of genius for her plans to uncover West Yomogi's true nature. She devises a plan to dismantle West Yomogi and alter it from the inside by sending her sister into the Dreamscape, which unlocks Big Sis the ability to dreamwalk, a plan [[ChekhovsSkill that would become essential]] before her confrontation with [[HeroAntagonist the Gardener]] as she uncovers the real truth behind West Yomogi and the world within it being a "calculation". She is able to deduce the Gardener's involvement in imposing a stringent order within the simulation, as she took notice of the lack of accidents and deaths across the town, as well as the world being a simulated reality. Maintaining a calm and collected expression throughout the confrontation with the Gardener, Big Sis adds that anything about the world they are in is a "papier-mache" and no "mere Gardener" can stop her plan. She later outwitted the Gardener when she used the conch-shaped device to release the Fish With Names, leading to the town and the world being permanently altered to her specifications and with humanity having the unrestrained means of freedom. Despite the future consequences her actions ultimately caused, in the form of her clone, Big Sis (as a fish) ultimately atones for her actions before dying and tells Shijima to go back in time to reverse all of the damage.

She initiates her plans to spread the [[{{MacGuffin}} Key]] and its powers to humanity by cleverly manipulating the Mosasa Dogs, who tells them that they can become music in the first place, and use their concert as a broadcast signal. By using their performance as a "resonance effect", the Sis clone notes at her prime how the Key is used to "unlock" people the ability to change oneself, not just by changing reality in a whim. Despite the prime Sis' attempts of restraining her clones, the Sis clone pulls off a calculated plan at the end when she managed to have the powers of the Key spread across the school festival audiences and subsequently the whole world with the concert. Her actions at the end, while it caused consequences to the already-damaged fabric of the simulation, mirrored her prime's goals of granting humanity unrestrained freedom from the clutches of the simulation's stringent natural order.

** The 58th [[ProfessionalKiller Gabimaru]], the "[[RedBaronGabimaru the Hollow]]", born [[DarkAndTroubledPast Tsuki]], is the [[TheAce best assassin]] ever produced by Iwagakure village. A genius killer since childhood, Gabimaru fell in love with his wife Yui and decided to stop killing to live quietly with her. Betrayed by his village chief for his defiance, captured and delivered to the shogunate for execution, Gabimaru was instead recruited to seek the ElixirOfLife coveted elixir on the island of Kotaku by the Yamada Asaemon Sagiri. Alongside his comrades, Gabimaru uses his [[CombatClairvoyance predictive abilities]] and tactical acumen to kill both the villainous Tensen deities of the island and belligerent criminals who joined the voyage, at one point tricking a giant enemy into lowering his head for a decapitation strike. Injecting himself with a Tensen flower and risking his humanity, Gabimaru comes up with a strategy to distract and kill the Tensen leader Rien alongside Sagiri, escaping Kotaku and Iwagakure to live happily with Yui.
** [[BrilliantButLazy Jikka]], third rank of the Yamada Asaemon samurai, is potentially the [[BewareTheSillyOnes most dangerous]] of all of them. Jikka arrives on Kotaku and immediately [[PlayingBothSides plays the convicts against his fellow Yamada]]. Manipulating his clansman Shugen to confront the Aza bandit brothers, Jikka makes sure to leave everything to his advantage where he benefits no matter who dies just so he can become the Yamada clan head and [[ItsAllAboutMe take a life of luxury]]. Returning after Rien's defeat, Jikka cheerfully arranges happy endings for all surviving Yamada and convicts, while tricking the monstrous [[AssholeVictim Shogun Tokugawa Nariyoshi]] to his end in a way that will not reflect poorly on Jikka himself and his complete triumph.

Once the wife of the alchemist Xu Fu, Rien and her husband were assigned to discover the secrets of immortality on behalf of their [[UsefulNotes/QinShiHuangdi Emperor Qin Shi Huang]] on Kotaku, carrying on even after the Emperor's death. Heartbroken when Xu Fu's body is arborified from his experiments, Rien creates the Tensen and convinces them to aid her in reviving her husband and tricks the villagers to believe she and the Tensen are Kotaku's [[GodGuise deities]]. Using the villagers' [[LifeEnergy Tan]] to expand hers and the Tensen's, Rien makes the Banko flower and spends a millennia adjusting her research to bloom it and use its Tan to revive Xu Fu, undeterred even by each failure. In the present, when her initial plot to use the heroes' Tao fails and the Tensen are defeated, Rien [[CrazyPrepared quickly adapts]] and prepares to bring Xu Fu's preserved corpse to Japan and revive him using the Tan of all living beings in the mainland. Confronted by the heroes, Rien manages to fatally wound Gabimaru and Sagiri before being distracted and mortally injured herself. Gracefully [[VillainsDyingGrace healing her opponents]] out of respect for Gabimaru's love for his own wife, Rien passes on to reunite with Xu Fu in the afterlife.

An Archon who was a former human experimented on by the government, she served the Assembly, an artificial intelligence, for thousands of years. After ensuring that the Imperial City's population was regulated by enforcing the end-of-life system among other decrees, Loki tired of her servitude when she learned that humans once possessed free will. Upon learning of Yukito Urabe's intent to build a cult centered around the goddess Mitama, Loki disguises herself as a human male named Clem, infiltrating the cult, whilst simultaneously keeping her fellow Archon Atar preoccupied with slaying strange beasts when she was ordered to destroy the isolationist camp. Loki manipulates Yukito and Mitama into helping her destroy the Assembly and takes advantage of the city's decrepit state by implementing herself as its ruler. When the Archon Gaia threatens to flatten the Imperial City with Typhon, Loki secretly assists Mitama by giving her some of her followers as a means of narrowing the competition.

** [[VisionaryVillain Nagare Hisui]], the [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking Green King]], believes the power of the [[EnigmaticEmpoweringEntity Dresden Slate]] should be shared amongst all of mankind and challenged the powerful Gold King for control of it, coming to near victory until he was forced to retreat as his own power ran out. Plotting for the next 14 years with his mentor and adoptive father the Grey King, Nagare creates JUNGLE and [[TheManBehindTheMan manipulates the monstrous Colorless King]] to work as a distraction for their plans while waiting for the Gold King to die before moving into action directly. Through an online site, Nagare causes chaos as he empowers civilians, bringing JUNGLE to the public and eventually forcing the Silver King, Adolf K. Weismann/Yashiro Isana, to confront him. Stealing the Dresden Slate with a [[KansasCityShuffle daring scheme]], Nagare activates its power and begins strengthening all of humanity, only stopped when Yashiro destroys his own Sword of Damocles to neutralize the Slate. As he passes, Nagare fondly remembers his time with the core members of JUNGLE, before remarking he is "satisfied" with the outcome despite his loss, cementing himself as one of Yashiro's most noble and gracious adversaries.

Raising Lugh to be his heir, Cian has him kill death row inmates so that he won't grow hesitant over killing people, while letting him know that he will be raised not as a weapon, but as a person, who must possess human values to be a better killer. Cian is even able to get the experienced Lugh into the position of aristocrat by having him injure the supposed runner-up as a test of strength. Getting Lugh to pose as a successful merchant to get closer to his targets and privately build a team of assassins, Cian ultimately does what he can to give Lugh the life he thinks he deserves, while doing what he must to assist him in his plan to defeat the Hero.
