2
3	!!Elf Hunters
4	[[folder:In General]]
5	* AntiHeroTeam: Due their tendecy of forcefully strip elves, with complete disregard of their feelings. And in some ocassions, Junpei seems to be [[MaleGaze enjoying too much what he is doing.]]
6	* BadassCrew: For better or for worse, Junpei, Airi, and Ritsuko [[spoiler:and later Celcia]] are a team. Junpei can kick people across a town, [[ATwinkleInTheSky literally]], Ritsuko has a [[MegaNeko Neko]] [[TankGoodness Tank]] and an arsenal of military-grade weapons and equipment, and Airi is a master strategist.
7	* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:Ultimately the fate of the Elf Hunters sans Celcia at the end of the sequel manga]]
8	* PaperFanOfDoom: The women in the main cast, usually directed at Junpei (or any male too obsessed with the Elf Hunters quest), although Junpei himself uses it to prevent an uncomfortable old man homoerotic moment.
9	* SexySantaDress: All the girls who act as Santa for temp jobs.
10	* SpannerInTheWorks: The elf hunters become this when an evil sorceress holds the entire world hostage as her magic, which can burn anyone at whim, does not work on those from the outside world.
11	* SummonEverymanHero: Those Who Hunt Elves were the summoned heroes in question at the beginning of the story. The rest of the tale involves them trying to return home.

15	!!Junpei Ryuzouji
16	->Voiced by: Creator/TomokazuSeki (Japanese), Andrew Klimko (English), Creator/EnriqueCervantes (Latin American Spanish), Creator/VictorUgarte (Latin American Spanish, young)
17	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/junpei_ryuzouji_12490.jpg]]
18	----
19	* AnimeHair: With hair that defies the laws of gravity.
20	* BadassNormal: Since many of his opponents are supernatural or magical in nature.
21	* BareFistedMonk: He is a brawler who fights with his fists exclusively.
22	* TheBigGuy: Played completely straight.
23	* CatchPhrase: At least in the dub, Junpei says, "This is why I hate fantasy stories!"
24	** In the original manga, and it's "Freaking fantasy world!".
25	** "Forgive me for stripping you!"
26	* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Junpei has incredible strength and speed from all his training and, as he put is, a natural talent for fighting.
27	* ChickMagnet: Several of the elves end up falling for Junpei, they even willingly strip because of it. Celica and Ritsuko also have a clear crush on him. In the manga the Elf Rebecca even stole all the fragments they had gathered because she didn't want Junpei to be sent home.
28	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Be very afraid when Junpei finally stops fooling around and fights seriously.
29	* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Played very straight in the Christmas episode. Junpei kicks Satan up a chimney when he offers the group [[DealWithTheDevil a deal]].
30	* HiddenDepths: For such an IdiotHero, he believes in the heliocentric model due to watching a television program about a man persecuted for his beliefs on the heliocentric model and then executed on the order of the church- this led Junpei to cry only once in his life. Despite needing Eri to explain the theory specifically in the anime, this reasoning for being moved speaks volumes about his character.
31	* IdiotHero: Though how dumb varies between the manga and anime. For example, in the manga, he finds the portal to the mermaid temple by himself, while in the anime he needs Airi's help. Similarly in the manga, Junpei explains Heliocentrism to Celcia on his own, while he asks Airi to give the explanation in the anime.
32	* IGaveMyWord: Junpei takes his fighter's honor very seriously. It actually wins over some of the elves they meet in their journey.
33	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While he is very abrasive, he is ultimately very helpful to his friends and considerate sometimes.
34	* LightningBruiser
35	* NotSoDifferentRemark: Airi and Ritsuko have mentioned more than once how Junpei and Celcia are more alike than they care to admit.
36	* TheOneGuy: He is notably the only male on the team.
37	* PottyEmergency: Junpei, Season 2 Episode 2, complete with a graph and flashing alarm showing his current state. His dilemma leads to some [[{{Squick}} uncomfortable images.]] Ends with [[spoiler:the discovery of a teddy bear that can excrete toilet paper, in perfect rolls, complete with cardboard tube. Yeah.]]
38	* RightBehindMe: Dawn broadcasts a giant hologram of herself holding up a wanted poster of Junpei, telling everyone on the planet to watch for him, [[EnemyRisingBehind entirely unaware of Junpei's looming silhouette]] just behind her. Since she can sense the native's emotions, she briefly wonders why 2 billion people are mocking her at once before Junpei's foot lands.
39	* ShipTease: Celcia and Junpei, and also Ritsuko and Junpei. The latter seemingly even gets jealous when something happened between Junpei and other girls, [[spoiler:especially the time he (accidentally) kissed another girl]].
40	* SiblingYinYang: [[spoiler:Junpei is the polar opposite of his younger sister Mai Shintani in the sequel manga]]
41	* SlapSlapKiss: [[spoiler:Junpei and Celcia, believe it or not. Junpei sure doesn't. As in, he's completely oblivious even when Celcia confesses to him. Though Junpei does admit to finding Celecia's true form attractive.]]
42	* WouldHitAGirl: In the opening of the series, he is seen kicking Celcia and fighting against her. And he often shows no hesitation to fight against female elves in order to strip them by force.
43	* WrongGenreSavvy: In one chapter of the manga, Junpei states that "you can't go by in a fantasy world without knowing a spell or two", and thus sets out to train in the arcane arts in his very own way. HilarityEnsues.

46	[[folder:Ritsuko Inoue]]
47	!!Ritsuko Inoue
48	->Voiced by: Creator/YukoMiyamura (Japanese), Creator/RozieCurtis (English), Creator/CristinaHernandez (Latin American Spanish)
49	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ritsuko_inoue_32762.jpg]]
50	----
51	* BadassNormal: Since many of her opponents are supernatural or magical in nature.
52	* DespairEventHorizon: Ritsuko slips into this briefly during the Mold arc after [[spoiler:she realized she gave away the titular Mold, which allows the villain to burn her pretty much at will.]]
53	* FriendlySniper
54	* GunsAkimbo: She is a military otaku.
55	* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak

59	!!Airi Komiyama
60	->Voiced by: Creator/MichieTomizawa (Japanese), Creator/KellyManison (English), Creator/DulceGuerrero (Latin American Spanish)
61	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/airi_komiyama_32760.jpg]]
62	----
63	* BadassNormal: Since many of her opponents are supernatural or magical in nature.
64	* ButNotTooForeign: She's Japanese-American.
65	* {{Cult}}: At one stage, Airi founds a religious organisation who pray stark naked. Unsurprisingly this is mostly marketed at elves.
66	* GuileHero: In addition to being a MasterOfDisguise, Airi is skilled at reading people and controlling them. She can often do more with a few words than the others can do with magic, bullets or fists.
67	* KatanasAreJustBetter: She carries a katana
68	* TheLoad: Not that she's ineffectual. She just doesn't do a lot of the fighting.
69	* MasterOfDisguise: Justified in that she is an [[MasterActor award-winning actress]].
70	* NotSoAboveItAll: Airi doesn't voice her frustrations over not being able to return to Japan as often as Junpei and Ritsuko, but she does complain internally. Like in episode nine of the anime where she has an inner monologue complaining about having to work a retail job selling dresses and the fact that in the elf world she's a nobody with no money.
71	* ThePowerOfActing: Airi uses this as her main weapon.
72	* TheSmartGirl: Airi, lacking muscles, magic, and guns, relies solely on her brain and her acting skills to support the group.

75	[[folder:Celcia Marie Claire]]
76	!!Celcia Marie Claire
77	->Voiced by: Creator/KotonoMitsuishi (Japanese), Creator/JessicaCalvello (Season 1) Creator/ShelleyCaleneBlack (Season 2) (English), Rommy Mendoza (Latin American Spanish)
78	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/celcia_marie_claire_32761.jpg]]
79	----
80	* AnachronismStew: Justified in that [[spoiler:Celcia's spell summons objects from our world to hers]] (so having a tank makes perfect sense [[RuleOfCool and is awesome]]), but also played straight in the pop culture references and the many religious profanities used. And Elf Mc Burger. You cannot escape [=McDonalds=]. (This eventually becomes a plot point, by the way.)
81	* ButtMonkey: If there is anyone who has earned this title for the sheer amount of [[EpicFail Epic Fails]] alone, it is Cecelia, who is considered to be, ironically, the best magician in the land. In the manga she even gets stuck as a literal monkey for a time.
82	* CriticalFailure: Celcia, a ''lot''. She screws up the spell to send the trio home [[spoiler:not once, but twice]]. [[spoiler:Not only that, but she's the one who cast the spell that summoned Junpei, Ritsuko, and Airi to her world in the first place!]]Especially true in the manga where she loses the fragments they've collected multiple times whenever they get all five or are close to getting all five.Despite exemplifying this trope for the sake of the plot, she's reasonably competent when the stakes aren't returning the heroes home.
83	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: When she reminds you that she's not just a ButtMonkey and really is one of the most powerful magic users in the Elf world.
84	* MagicMisfire: Celcia disguises herself as a doglike creature to try to help them find the spell fragments without being recognized. However, when they find the first fragment and she transfers it to herself, it causes [[spoiler:ShapeshifterModeLock until they have all the fragments. Her increasingly ridiculous appearance as the spell fragments transfer to her become a RunningGag.]]
85	* NotSoDifferentRemark: Airi and Ritsuko have mentioned more than once how Junpei and Celcia are more a alike than they care to admit.
86	* ShapeshifterModeLock: Happens to Celcia.
87	* SlapSlapKiss: [[spoiler:Junpei and Celcia, believe it or not. Junpei sure doesn't. As in, he's completely oblivious even when Celcia confesses to him. Though Junpei does admit to finding Celecia's true form attractive.]]
88	* StableTimeLoop: [[spoiler:It turns out that the BigBad whom Celcia casts a protagonists-summoning spell to defeat is amnesiac Celcia from the future.]]
89	* SummonEverymanHero: The back-plot of the story: to defeat the BigBad, Celcia casts a spell which summons the protagonists. Less than a minute later, the BigBad is [[spoiler:only mostly]] dead, thanks to Ritsuko blasting it with the armored tank that the spell also brought along.
90	* TeamPet: For most of the series. Though what type of pet changes over the course of series.
91	* VitriolicBestBuds: Celcia has this type of relationship with her old Academy Rival the elf Rebecca in the manga and Junpei in both Anime and Manga. Junpei and Rebecca actually hit off because they both care for Celcia and think she's an idiot.
92	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: [[spoiler:Celcia can transform into whatever she wants with her ring. However, played with in that she always ends up transforming into animals (hence she is considered TeamPet) and cannot transform back once she absorbs any one of the spell fragments. She can only change back once she gains all fragments or lose them all. The fact that the spell fragments, which manifest visibly in her body as she gains them, make her [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/072.jpg look ridiculous]] does not help. For those who don't understand the image, the dark lines on the big bird are the spell fragments that manifest on Celcia's body. And that big bird is only ''one'' of the forms that she ends up not so willingly taking throughout the whole comic.]]
93	* YankTheDogsChain: Celcia has been able to return to her original form and can even stay in it for a few chapters, but she'll inevitably get stuck as some sort of creature again.

100	----
101	* CoolTank: A Mitsubishi Type 74 Main Battle Tank, practically a character in its own right. [[spoiler:Later on, it actually ''does'' become a character, when the cat spirit Mike (mee-kay) possesses it.]]
102	* {{Leitmotif}}: The [[CoolTank tank]] is represented by an electric guitar riff.
103	* MegaNeko: [[spoiler:Once the tank is inhabited by a cat spirit.]]
104	* SapientTank: The Type 74 "Mike" after being possessed by a cat.
105	* TankGoodness: The friendly cat-possessed tank is certainly helpful.

110	->Voiced by: Creator/TomokoKawakami (Japanese), Creator/TiffanyGrant (English)
111	----
112	* CurbStompBattle The result of the battle with the Legendary Sorcerer in Treetown amounts to [[spoiler:Pichi growing into a giant and eating the demon tree in one bite, then pooping it in the form of a giant toilet paper roll, a form that is even more difficult for the Sorcerer to move in]]
113	* MundaneUtility: Pichi's race can eat plants and transform them into perfect rolls of toilet paper. This becomes handy once the team runs out of it and Junpei needs to go to the bathroom badly.
114	* TeamPet: Ritsuko gets attached to one of the bears and decides to adopt it as her pet.

125	* CanonImmigrant: The elf Annette who showed up in the anime first and was later added to the manga.
126	* RememberTheNewGuy: How Annette's introduction into the manga was handled. With the main cast acting like they've always known her and that she always was one of Celcia's advisers like in the anime, even though in the manga it was originally just the two old elves.

This ended up ruining her life, seeing how the armor comes with a pair of [[AbsurdlySharpBlade absurdly sharp blades]] she can't even stop wielding, making her unable to raise her hands without almost killing people. She got so desperate about it, that she actually approached the protagonists and ''begged'' them to strip her naked. [[spoiler:By the end of the episode, they do succeed in removing the armor, much to her delight, but she ends up putting it back on when she realizes wearing a NighInvulnerable armor and wielding two [[CoolSword Cool Swords]] [[CursedWithAwesome is kind of awesome]].]]

268	----
269	%%zce* BadassLongcoat
270	* InspectorJavert: While he's in the right about Those Who Hunt Elves being criminals and a serious nuisance, he's very much an authoritarian JerkAss. Even on the second season, when the team gets a special dispensation that allows them to do their "job" freely, he continues to insist that he wants them in jail and keeps seeking methods to make them lose the dispensation so he can do it (his favorite being stringing them along with a series of ImpossibleMission bets with their freedom on the line--the team accepts because otherwise they would not be able to have access to the elves on those places, period). [[spoiler:And when the team finally loses the dispensation, Judge orders their capture as gleefully as he can in his immense haughtiness.]]
271	* JerkassHasAPoint: Considering how much of a destructive nuisance Those Who Hunt Elves become, he has a point about them needing to be arrested. The problem is how much of a manipulative, authoritarian and above all smug jackass he is.
272	* MirrorMatch: Used by Judge twice to weaken the heroes to arrest them: the first time it's a true-blue example of this with magical doppelgangers that only fight as long as Those Who Hunt Elves fight (if they stop fighting or are knocked out, the shadows disappear). The second time, [[SummonEverymanHero he gathers a group of dimensional travellers of his own]] that [[EvilCounterpart are more amoral near-copies]] of Those Who Hunt Elves and [[LetsYouAndHimFight sets them loose on the team]].
273	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The Judge is only called "The Judge" by the other characters.
