| 5 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 6 | * BirthdayBuddies: Himeko and Chikane were both born on October 1st, [[SignificantBirthDate the first day of the Kannazuki, "the godless month," in the traditional Japanese lunar calendar]]. Hence, they're the Kannazuki no Miko reincarnated to defeat the Yamata no Orochi. |
| 7 | * BustContrastDuo: Chikane has noticeably larger breasts than Himeko. Girochi actually prefers smaller breasts and therefore becomes obsessed with trying to make Himeko his girlfriend. |
| 8 | * DangerousSixteenthBirthday: The two miko gain their powers on their 16th birthday, the same day that Yamata no Orochi first manifests and begins its attempt to destroy the world. |
| 9 | * FirstNameBasis: The two call each other "Chikane-chan" and "Himeko," but Chikane instead uses "[[LastNameBasis Kurusugawa]]-san" on Himeko when in front of others. |
| 10 | * GodivaHair: In every single of their nude scenes, their very long hair conveniently covers the naughty bits. |
| 11 | * HairContrastDuo: The cute and innocent solar miko Himeko has blonde hair while the dignified and extremist lunar miko Chikane has dark blue hair. |
| 12 | * LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: The sweet, pure-hearted and naïve solar miko Himeko is the Light Feminine to the lunar miko Chikane's solemn, elegant and brooding Dark Feminine. |
| 13 | * LipstickLesbian: They're an equally feminine lesbian couple. |
| 14 | * {{Miko}}: A variation; they aren't the typical kind of miko that serve a shrine. Himeko and Chikane are the {{reincarnation}}s of two shaman girls who are continually reborn to summon a HumongousMecha named Ame no Murakumo, fight off a DestroyerDeity and save the world. |
| 15 | * MsFanservice: They're shown undressed and/or get a BathtubScene at least OncePerEpisode. |
| 16 | * NightAndDayDuo: Chikane is associated with the moon and Himeko with the sun. The symbolism is further explored when Himeko, who believes herself to be an utterly ordinary girl, [[ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe wonders]] what the SchoolIdol Chikane sees in her. Chikane then states that, just like the moon only shines with the reflected light of the sun, so is Chikane inspired and motivated to "shine" in all things by her love for Himeko. |
| 17 | * OfficialCouple: The story is built around the romance of the two miko. |
| 18 | * OppositesAttract: Aside from the obvious sun-moon symbolism, Himeko is a ShrinkingViolet with very little self-esteem and only a handful of friends who comes from a modest upbringing. Chikane is a BornWinner who comes from an extremely wealthy family and excels in almost everything, as well as being practically worshiped by her peers. Despite this, they've been best friends for years, and despite Chikane having constant love confessions thrown her way, she only has eyes for Himeko. Himeko, likewise, though also attracted to Souma, ultimately finds Chikane to be her true love. |
| 19 | * PowerTattoo: Himeko has a solar symbol on her chest and Chikane has a lunar symbol on her back. These marks glow whenever they access their {{miko}} powers. |
| 20 | * ReincarnationRomance: The solar and lunar mikos are repeatedly reincarnated to stop the Orochi from destroying the world and in every incarnation, the miko are lovers. [[spoiler:The ending of the anime shows that Chikane reincarnated again to reunite with Himeko in the same timeline and in future installments, they reincarnate again to be with each other.]] |
| 21 | * StarCrossedLovers: [[spoiler:One of the miko must kill the other as a sacrifice required to restore the destruction caused by the Orochi. However, they are finally able to be together after the Orochi is permanently destroyed and Chikane breaks the reincarnation loop to return to Himeko in the same timeline, and future installments where Chikane and Himeko are reincarnated again, this time without the Orochi present in the series, means they no longer have to deal with it or the ritual where they have to sacrifice the other.]] |

| 42 | * {{Expy}}: Of Kurusu Shinjou from ''The Cross Triangle'', a previous work of the author. Both have the same appearance and a PseudoRomanticFriendship with a black haired girl. The difference is that [[spoiler:Kurusu ends up with Souma's {{Expy}} instead.]] |

| 45 | * HeartwarmingOrphan |
| 46 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: Her self-esteem is a ''abysmal''. |

| 48 | * ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe: Himeko is positively puzzled about what Chikane sees in an "ordinary girl" like her. |
| 49 | * IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: [[spoiler:After Chikane rapes her and makes an apparent FaceHeelTurn, Himeko is convinced that Chikane wouldn't do such horrible things without a reason and tries to reason with her.

| 50 | * ImCryingButIDontKnowWhy: After [[spoiler:Chikane is erased from existence and everyone forgets about her]], Himeko looks at pictures that used to be of her and [[spoiler:Chikane]], but now are only of her because of the RetGone. She starts to cry and she does not know why. |

| 55 | * LoveMartyr: [[spoiler:Even after Chikane betrays her, rapes her and joins Orochi, Himeko never stops loving her and refuses to believe Chikane would do that without a reason. It's true Chikane actually did all that so she could die in Himeko's place, but any other person would at least resent her for going ''that'' far.]] |
| 56 | * MeaningfulName: Himeko means "princess child". |
| 57 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: She's horrified after she [[spoiler:fatally stabs Chikane and even tries to kill herself, but [[InterruptedSuicide Chikane stops her]]]]. |
| 58 | * NaiveEverygirl: She's an innocent, naive high school girl with low self-esteem. |
| 59 | * [[{{Uke}} Neko]]: Himeko's pure innocence and helplessness forms a stark contrast with Chikane, the mysterious and protective AloofDarkHairedGirl with hidden dark desires. |
| 60 | * {{Nephewism}}: She was left under her uncle and aunt's care after her parents died. However, they abused her and left Himeko with several emotional traumas. |
| 61 | * NiceGirl: Himeko is a soft-spoken and kindhearted individual at heart. |
| 62 | * NobodyTouchesTheHair: She has an extreme sensitiveness to anyone touching her hair as a result of abuse from her uncle and aunt in her childhood. |
| 63 | * ObliviousToLove: Himeko simply doesn't realize Chikane is in love with her despite how obvious it is. It's partly justified due to Himeko's low self-esteem. |
| 64 | * OnlyFriend: She's this to Chikane, even though it looks like she doesn't realize it. Himeko is the only person who can approach Chikane and get friendly with her while everyone else can only see Chikane like an idol they are too afraid to even talk to. |

| 72 | * TragicKeepsake: The pink clam shell necklace her dead father gave to her. |

| 74 | * WistfulAmnesia: [[spoiler:Chikane is [[RetGone erased from existence]] by the final ritual to seal Orochi and restore the world, but swears that she 'will be reborn' to Himeko. Even though Himeko forgets Chikane, when she looks at pictures that used to be of her and Chikane, but now are only of her because of the erase, [[ImCryingButIDontKnowWhy she starts crying without knowing why]]. She also rejects a LoveConfession from Souma, because she knows that she's waiting for someone else, even though she can't remember who.]] |

| 82 | |
| 83 | The Lunar Priestess. Chikane is a very commanding girl. She has a very noble and elegant aura, lives in a large mansion with many maids, and is considered to be of the highest standing at their school. However, she has been in love with Himeko since they first met. |
| 84 | ---- |
| 85 | * AcademicAthlete: She is said to excel both in academics and sports. |
| 86 | * AdaptationDyeJob: In the manga, her hair is dark turquoise and she has brown eyes. In the anime, she still has blue hair, but now her CurtainsMatchTheWindow. |
| 87 | * AdaptationalHeroism: [[spoiler:In the manga, Chikane is with the Orochi from the beginning; in the anime, she joins after seeing Souma kissing Himeko and Chikane recovers her PastLifeMemories.

| 89 | * AttractivenessIsolation: Chikane is the target of adoration of almost every student at her school, but they think she's so damn perfect that it isn't even worth it to think she might look at them.

| 90 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Himeko is the only one who has ever treated Chikane like an approachable person instead of an idol to be admired from a distance. This is what guided Chikane to fall in love with Himeko. |
| 91 | * BettyAndVeronica: Himeko is torn between her feelings for Chikane and Souma throughout the anime. Chikane is the Veronica; the super popular, wealthy, unbelievably beautiful and talented SchoolIdol apparently out of Himeko's league, past life lover, and lesbian suffering from {{Gayngst}} over wanting Himeko so badly. It gets {{deconstructed}} since Chikane is so chaotic that [[spoiler:she pulls a fake FaceHeelTurn after sexually assaulting Himeko in a crazy plan to die in her place]] yet Himeko stays in love with her and rejects Souma [[spoiler:so she can wait for Chikane to reincarnate and return to her]]. |

| 96 | * ChickMagnet: She's extremely popular among both genders and is the frequent target of love confessions. |
| 97 | * ClassPrincess: Everyone at school worships Chikane like a princess because of her great beauty and many talents. Despite this, Chikane doesn't let her popularity go to her head, is very polite, and actively builds a friendship with her crush Himeko, not caring at all about their highly different social positions at school. |
| 98 | * ClingyJealousGirl: She is jealous of Souma's closeness to Himeko and him being more capable of protecting her in battle. |
| 99 | * CrazyEnoughToWork: Overall, her plan which involves [[spoiler:raping Himeko, kill the Orochi Necks from within, emotionally torture Himeko and then 'blow up the world']] will make anyone with sanity shake their head and refuse. But in the end, [[spoiler:it worked to ensure Himeko's survival and Chikane dying for it.]] |

| 102 | * DeclarationOfProtection: She desires to protect Himeko. |

| 104 | * DudeShesLikeInAComa: Chikane steals Himeko's first kiss while she is unconscious as a "birthday gift". |
| 105 | * ElegantClassicalMusician: She can play the piano and the violin, which is expected from an elegant and beautiful {{Ojou}}. |
| 106 | * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: She has her own fangirl club at school. |
| 107 | * {{Expy}}: Of Kiraha Meiou from ''The Cross Triangle'', a previous work of the author. Both have the same appearance and a PseudoRomanticFriendship with a blonde haired girl. The difference is that [[spoiler:Kiraha and Kurusu end up as JustFriends, as Kurusu is straight.]] |
| 108 | * FakeDefector: As it turns out, [[spoiler:she only becomes The Eighth Neck of Orochi so she can destroy his support from within]]. |
| 109 | * {{Gayngst}}: Her love for Himeko brings her great angst, as she thinks those feelings are wrong because they're both girls and Himeko already likes a guy. [[spoiler:This is considered a legit despair factor to become a member of Orochi.]] |
| 110 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She awakens Orochi herself and manipulates Himeko into killing her, so she can defeat Orochi, die in Himeko's place, and break the reincarnation loop.]] |
| 111 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation |
| 112 | * HumanizingTears: In the finale, the normally dark and aloof Chikane, after her multitude of deliberate evil actions, was ready to be regarded as an evil bitch that got what she deserve, and most especially not love. Himeko manages to see through her deliberate attempt and knew [[WellIntentionedExtremist her 'well-intention' in her extremism]], and returned her love to her. And in instant, the aloof girl broke down in tears in realization that she did deserve love. |
| 113 | * IndifferentBeauty: For her, being a SchoolIdol that [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer even the girls want]] is not a big deal. |
| 114 | * InsecureLoveInterest: Chikane is clearly aware of the depravities she had to go through [[spoiler:in order to ensure Himeko's survival]] and thinks she does not deserve to be loved back by Himeko. Still, Himeko never stops loving Chikane and they affirm their mutual love despite the monstrous things Chikane has done. |
| 115 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Chikane is desperately in love with Himeko, but she hides her feelings because she thinks Himeko should be with Souma. |
| 116 | * LadyOfWar: A rich and highly cultured girl who turns out to be a deadly and graceful combatant. |
| 117 | * LoveMakesYouEvil: To the point of [[spoiler:violating her beloved Himeko. However, this is all so that Himeko will be willing to kill her]]. |
| 118 | * MatchmakerCrush: Chikane tries to pair Himeko up with Souma [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy because she wants her to be happy]]. |
| 119 | * MeaningfulName: Himemiya means "princess temple". |
| 120 | * MistakenForRomance: Many students, Himeko included, think Chikane and Souma are dating. In reality, there is nothing going on between them, and they are in fact love rivals for Himeko's affections. |
| 121 | * NecessarilyEvil: All her actions [[spoiler:after her apparent FaceHeelTurn are in order to get Himeko to hate her enough to kill her]]. |
| 122 | * {{Ojou}}: She's the daughter of a rich and extremely influential family and lives in a BigFancyHouse with many maids. |
| 123 | * OutdoorsyGal: She was fond of climbing trees as a child. |
| 124 | * PeerlessLoveInterest: Chikane seems to be the perfect girl; beautiful, talented, the heiress of a prestigious family and the most popular girl at school. Even having the courage to propose to her elevates you above the other students. Himeko is absolutely smitten by her and believes that she's living the dream when (due to one thing and another) she begins living with her. Deconstructed — crazy things happen and in the end, Chikane is revealed to be neither angel nor devil, just a girl the same age as Himeko. There's no such thing as a peerless lover. |
| 125 | * PsychoLesbian: [[spoiler:She ends up raping Himeko and pulling a FaceHeelTurn, [[SubvertedTrope but this is later revealed to be an act to fool the Orochi so she can destroy its support from within and manipulate Himeko into killing her]]. It's just the 'psycho' part that is an act, her lesbian traits are genuine, [[{{Gayngst}} much to her distress.]]]] |
| 126 | * RavenHairIvorySkin: She has long dark blue hair and pure white skin and everyone sees her as the most beautiful girl in the school. |
| 127 | * RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Souma's Red. |

| 134 | * SuicideForOthersHappiness: [[spoiler:Chikane's scheme is a big suicidal gambit where she makes herself out to be as evil as she can be so Himeko kills her, all in order to escape from her fate of killing Himeko like in her previous life and make sure Himeko can live happily in a restored world where Chikane doesn't exist.]] |
| 135 | * [[{{Seme}} Tachi]]: She's a mysterious dark-haired beauty who pursues and protects the innocent and helpless Himeko. Attention is often drawn to the contrast between Chikane's desires and Himeko's virginal innocence. |

| 138 | * UptownGirl: A rich {{Ojou}} who has fallen in love with the middle-class girl Himeko. |
| 139 | * ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Don't lay a finger on Himeko. Otherwise, Chikane will kick your sorry ass from here to Orion. Unless you have super power granted from a dark DestroyerDeity, then maybe [[FauxActionGirl you can kick her back...]] [[spoiler:until she gets ''those'' dark super power as well, and [[DarkActionGirl she starts kicking you in return.]]]] |
| 140 | * VisualPun: Look carefully at her yellow headband and her dark blue hair. Here's a hint: view it sideways. |
| 141 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:After recalling having killed Himeko in her past life, she rapes Himeko, steals Souma's Orochi mech while making Miyako think that her MindRape works, then she kills the other Orochi Heads, and awakens Orochi herself. All this in order to get Himeko to kill her for the world rebirth ritual to be complete and to push her far enough to summon a god by herself since a memory of her old self implanted a hatred for said god in the back of her mind which prevented from being able to help.]] |
| 142 | * {{Yandere}}: Her feelings for Himeko border upon obsession and eventually Chikane ends up [[spoiler:forcing herself on Himeko]] to keep her from thinking about anything besides her. [[spoiler:Subverted since Chikane only did it to force Himeko to hate her and kill her so that Himeko could live on and be happy.]] |
| 143 | * ZeroApprovalGambit: Chikane was really prepared to be marked as [[spoiler:a traitorous, rapist bitch and an OmnicidalManiac PsychoLesbian in the eyes of Himeko and then retconned out of existence]] in order to make sure Himeko survives. |

| 152 | Himeko's childhood friend who is as popular at school as Chikane, which is why most of their fellow students believe he and Chikane are dating.

| 153 | ---- |

| 156 | ** In Episode 5, when Chikane argues with him about protecting Himeko, she starts to assert that she'd be better at protecting her than he is. Souma then asks what Chikane can do herself, and why she doesn't revive Ame no Murakumo, since she'd already tried and failed. Chikane is left at a loss for words. |
| 157 | ** In the final episode, [[spoiler:Souma insists that he's fine with sacrificing himself for Himeko despite the fact that Himeko doesn't return his feelings, then asks Tsubasa, who'd derided that sort of devotion, if he's the same.

| 190 | * RomanticRunnerUp: He's a very NiceGuy who truly wishes to protect Himeko and Himeko does show to have feelings for him too several times. Unfortunately for Souma, this is [[YuriGenre the wrong series]] to love his girl and Himeko and Chikane are clearly meant to be the OfficialCouple. |

| 194 | * TwiceShy: With Himeko. |
| 195 | * WeakButSkilled: While skilled with his mecha, Souma isn't as strong as the other Neck's are with theirs, likely due to him rebelling against the Orochi, he defeated most of them by using his own skills, [[ThePowerOfLove willpower from love for Himeko]] and the other Necks being surprised that he's rebelling and not familiar with his style. He was nearly defeated by [[AloofBigBrother Tsubasa]] and almost got killed by [[FakeDefector Chikane]], both of them knowing how he fights, though he survived them. |

Presumably, the same war that destroyed his sister's church claimed the life of their parents and left Girochi traumatized and disillusioned. His mecha is Hi no Ashinazuchi, nicknamed Gungal. |

| 298 | ---- |
| 299 | * ACupAngst: She didn't take it well when her fellow Necks compared that [[spoiler:Chikane, fresh after her FaceHeelTurn,]] had bigger boobs than her. |
| 300 | * BerserkButton: She gets annoyed whenever someone, usually Reiko, brings up how she never made it past 68th on the idol rankings. |
| 301 | * ButtMonkey: Her overall delusion on her job made her an easy picking for fellow Necks to ridicule at, up and up including people mistaking her position at the idol charts, or having her boob size picked on (see ACupAngst). She's only second to Girochi in this terms, since at least she's not quite as much as a DumbMuscle as him. |
| 302 | * EvilDiva: Without the MindControl MagicMusic part. Corona is a pop idol who is part of a group trying to destroy the world out of bitterness of losing her fame and very severe issues she had before that. [[spoiler:However, at the end Corona's life is retconned and she's able to be a successful IdolSinger without going for prostitution, presumably because either she managed to do things in another way, the fans are more appreciative to her, or she didn't meet questionable managers that forced her to do such thing.]] |
| 303 | * FemmeFatalons: She's an EvilDiva with long, sharp orange nails. |
| 304 | * FreudianExcuse: It's said Corona was "betrayed by her dreams" and it's all but stated that she suffered [[spoiler:sexual abuse and]] tons of failure in her singing career (she's currently the 69th on the charts), [[spoiler:quite possibly rendering her sexual abuse AllForNothing.]] This is what motivated her to become one of the Orochi and want to destroy the world. |

| 306 | * IdolSinger: She's a pop idol, but her decaying fame has motivated her to join the Orochi. |
| 307 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: In personal combat, Corona throws lipsticks at her target. This attack is not as harmless as it might sound, since these lipsticks carry a kinetic charge capable of causing explosions. |
| 308 | * RapeAsBackstory: [[spoiler:The flashback showing her FreudianExcuse heavily implies she was [[CastingCouch forced to prostitute herself]] to get her first big break in show business. And after her first break, she went down the ranking to the point of the 69th. Thus, her prostitution was rendered AllForNothing.]] |

| 316 | ---- |
| 317 | * ArtistDisillusionment: InUniverse example. Her flashback scene refers to "Hurt by success", which implied that there was a time that her dream manga found success, but with the shift of audience tastes, DarkerAndEdgier manga sold more and her editors forced her to make the type of stories that didn't fit with her heart based on her past success. |
| 318 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: She has auburn hair and eyes. |
| 319 | * DeadpanSnarker: Anytime she speaks, it's usually snarking at either the current situation of her teammates. Especially Corona, who she always refer as her rank in the idol charts... one number bigger (69th, as opposed to 68th) |
| 320 | * FourEyesZeroSoul: She's a bespectacled mangaka who is part of an evil group that works for a GodOfEvil so it can destroy the world. |
| 321 | * ThePenIsMightier: In personal combat, Reiko throws explosive fountain pens at her targets. |
| 322 | * TheQuietOne: She doesn't like to talk, and when she does it's usually very short. |
| 323 | * ReclusiveArtist: InUniverse example. She's a very antisocial and quiet manga artist and she barely interacts with the other Orochi. |
