7	[[folder:Ese Len]]
8	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/len205.png]]
9	The protagonist of the story, Len is an seemingly OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent who is suddenly thrust in the middle of the war between the Ayakashi and the Kunai Organization.
10	----
11	* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler:After seemingly getting killed by Mitsurugi, Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto gifts Len her powers to Len and she is able to quickly overpower Mitsurugi in their fight since Len is capable of not only seeing into the future, but predicting fate itself.]]
12	* ACupAngst: One of the main running gags in the game, Len frequently comments how jealous she is of both Shino's and Uzume's breasts. This situation is only made worse after she realizes that unlocking the Divine Sword's power has staunched her breast growth for ''decades''.
13	* ActionGirl: She's forced to become one as the story progresses.
14	* AnimalMotifs: Shino and Ruka call her an orange cat.
15	* AntiHero: Len doesn't care about any great cause or saving the planet and is only concerned with protecting her friends and loved ones, even if it means certain doom for most of humanity.
16	* ArmoredClosetGay: While she isn't homophobic, Len has some serious trouble admitting that she's attracted to Uzume, even after frequently admiring her body and ''outright having sex with her''.
17	* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler:Len is actually a homunculus who has designed to act as Yorishiro, a vessel to house Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, the god of moon, and she was created by splicing DNA from humans, ayakashi and gods.]]
18	* AwesomenessByAnalysis: The personality shift caused by her sword makes Len more analytical and she can quickly read the combat style and tactics used by her enemies in this mode.
19	* BloodKnight: Like with other Divine Swords, Len's sword powers are tied to specific emotions and in her case that emotion is the enjoyment she feels during battle. Likely thanks to the personality shifts caused by the sword, Len begins to enjoy fighting over time and after her second battle against Tsuchigumo, Len admits to Shino that she is scared of how much she has come to love fighting.
20	* ButtMonkey: She's frequently teased, beat up, slapped or just ends up vomiting from all the stress.
21	* CharacterDevelopment: While she's initially motivated by monetary gain and wish to return to normal life, Len eventually decides to fight in order to protect Uzume and rest of the village.
22	* CharacterOutlivesActor: Len's seiyuu, Mochi Yomogi, died before the voice work for the second part was done and she was instead replaced by Anzu Hana. Ending of the english translation of the first part and both versions of the second part [[InMemoriam contain a memorial dedicated to her at the end]].
23	* ConfusionFu: While it's unclear if its one of her inherent or her swords abilities, Len has an aura that makes her moves almost impossible to predict for her enemies.
24	* CosmicMotifs: She has a moon motif due to her hair-clip and her name's similarities to the goddess Selene, especially after it's revealed [[spoiler: she's meant to be the vessel of the moon goddess Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto.]]
25	* CrazyEnoughToWork: Len's plans frequently rely on her doing the completely unexpected
26	* CutenessProximity: It takes her a while to actually ask question Haku instead of petting her and fawning over how cute she is.
27	* TheDeterminator: Len will stop at ''nothing'' to protect Uzume, be it going through a ten day TrainingFromHell where she gets to be practically a punching bag for her enemies, running several kilometers with her leg mangled or letting most of humanity die in her stead.
28	* DitzyGenius: Despite being quite airheaded in regular conversation and BookDumb to boot, Len proves to be a very capable planner and a master combatant who can learn techniques in weeks that would take ''years'' for other people and has no trouble reading ancient Japanese.
29	* GirlyBruiser: While she used to be a {{Tomboy}} in her youth, current Len is very much a GirlyGirl and proud of it too and it doesn't stop her from becoming a very capable warrior in a matter of few weeks. Len even brings this up during her last battle against [[spoiler:Mitsurugi]]
30	-->Manicures are both an accessory and a weapon for us ladies. You wouldn't know about that though, would you? I never could smell any perfume on you.
31	* HealingFactor: While all Divine Sword wielders have healing abilities, Len's healing is much more effective than the other wielders and she is capable of healing from even the worst injuries within three hours. Uzume later theorizes that this is because healing is actually another one of Len's inherent abilities.
32	* IdiotHair: The large ahoge sticking out from her head is a dead giveaway about her naïvety and airheadedness.
33	* ImmuneToFate: Sort of. Other Divine Sword wielders can't predict her actions and [[spoiler:she's immune to the Organization's fate manipulation]], but Len views it less as immunity to fate and more of [[spoiler:someone else giving her a superseding fate]].
34	* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: Her Divine Sword is a mediocre sized shield worn on the wrist that has a folding blade inside.
35	* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:Her name is an anagram for Selene, the Greek Goddess of the Moon while Ese is the Japanese word for fake. The meaning of this name is already discussed in Part 1 and it's an early hint to Len's artificial origins and her intended purpose as the vessel of Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto.]]
36	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Len considers taking advantage of Uzume's feelings to sleep with her while [[ArmoredClosetGay still rejecting her love]] to be the worst thing she's ever done even as she's doing it. She ends up running away in shame and spending the next several days in a guilt-ridden funk.
37	* ObliviousToLove: Len is completely blind to Uzume's crush on her, though this is mostly because she can't even imagine two girls being in love with each other and once she finds out about Ruka's and Sarume's relationship, she quickly notices Uzume's feelings towards her.
38	* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Initially Len is motivated to join the Kunai Organization through monetary gain, which she is quite embarrassed to admit to anyone, though it doesn't take long until Tsuchimikado tells the whole village about it.
39	* SeenItAll: By part 2, Len's understanding of reality has been crushed so many times in rapid succession, that she's barely phased by the new shocking twists she learns about. This is best showcased when [[spoiler:Ruka reveals to her that she was actually working for Tsuchimikado all along. While Len is certainly surprised, she's gone through so many similar surprises recently that she simply doesen't even bother to be shocked about it.]]
40	* SensorCharacter: One of her inherent abilities is the capability to detect the presence of other beings, though it has its limits as she isn't able to sense Tsuchigumo or Inari.
41	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The english translation slightly changed her name in that [[JapaneseRanguage the R sound in her first name has been switched to L]]. [[spoiler:This was likely done for plot related reasons, see MeaningfulName above.]]
42	* StevenUlyssesPerhero: It's pointed out early on that her name basically means "fake Len" and can be rearranged to Selene, the Greek moon goddess. [[spoiler:Len's actually an ArtificialHuman raised by a fake family to be the vessel for the moon goddess Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto.]]
43	* StressVomit: Len has quite a bit of problems with holding her stomach during stressful situations and is seen vomiting several times throughout the story.
44	* SurpriseIncest: [[spoiler:Implied; it turns out that part of her blood has been partly spliced from gods DNA and its stated that she was designed to be a vessel for Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, the sister[[note]]Real Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto was a male but he has been gender bent in this game[[/note]] of Amaterasu-ookami who founded the Sarume clan. While none of the characters bring it up, the chances are Len is genetically related to Uzume.]]
45	* {{Tomboy}}: She used to be one in her childhood, so much so that Uzume actually mistook her for a boy.
46	* TrainingFromHell: She trained with the foxes to awaken her Divine Sword. It wasn't just the horribly brutal and bone-breaking combat that was hellish, but how emotionally draining and dehumanizing the constant fighting and primitive living conditions were.
47	* TraumaCongaLine: Where do even start? First she has to abandon all her friends and family to go to war, then she learns that her parents have disappeared while she was gone, [[spoiler:then she learns that her lover is almost certainly going to be sacrificed by the Kunai Organization, then she learns that [[TomatoInTheMirror she isn't even a human at all]] and finally she finds out that everything she has been fighting for has been for nothing and she couldn't do anything to stop the inevitable fate]].
48	* WideEyedIdealist: For the majority of Part 1 she believes that the conflict between Ayakashi and Kunai organization could be solved peacefully since she doesn't yet know that Ayakashi aren't willing to negotiate at all [[spoiler:and Kunai Organization is most certainly going to sacrifice Uzume to win the war.]]
49	* WindsOfDestinyChange: [[spoiler:She unlocks the ability to manipulate fate at the end of part 2, though Len thinks it's actually another force guiding her.]]
50	* YouAreWorthHell: Len outright admits that she has no intention to continue her life if [[spoiler:Uzume ends up completing her ritual]].
51	* ZettaiRyouiki: Grade A with striped socks.
52	[[/folder]]
53
54	[[folder:Sarume Shinonome]]
55	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shinonome509.png]]
56	Len's childhood friend and member of the Kunai Organization who has been trained to become a Divine Sword wielder since her childhood. Loves teasing Len.
57	----
58	* BeneathTheMask: Shino [[BoisterousWeakling talks big]] and often has a smug attitude, but she's actually easily scared and likes to be spoiled.
59	* TheBerserker: Her Divine Sword's power is tied to the feeling of anger during battle that is further enforced by the personality shifts that the sword's power causes.
60	* BoisterousWeakling: According to Len, Shino used to be the type of person as a kid who'd go start trouble and then run behind her for cover if things got bad. Last chapter of part 2 implies that this might still be the case.
61	* CantCatchUp: By the end of Part 2, she has reached her maximum potential with the Divine Sword and it's clear that she's the weakest of the bunch [[spoiler:due to her tainted bloodline]], hence Len does most of the fighting from that point onward.
62	* CowardlyLion: Shino finds fighting the ayakashi terrifying and can barely keep from shaking at the thought, but she still dives in for the sake of her friends and family.
63	* TheDeterminator: Just like Len, she will do anything to protect Uzume from going through with her ritual.
64	* {{Deuteragonist}}: The second of the titular ''Two Princess Knights of Kyoto''. While the plot doesn't revolve around her quite as much around her as it does around Len, she receives the second most attention of the main characters.
65	* DualWielding: How she likes to use her Divine Sword. While it would would be optimally used in its spear form, she finds the dual swords fitting with her technique much better.
66	* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: Her Divine Sword is a two headed spear, which can be broken into two to act as a pair of swords.
67	* {{Irony}}: While Shino has dedicated her life to protecting Ruka, [[spoiler:she's actually much weaker than her]].
68	* LimitedWardrobe: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Len who wonders if Shino goes everywhere in her Miko outfit. Shino's answer is that [[BoringButPractical the attire is simple and all she really needs for her daily activities]].
69	* TheMatchmaker: She tries to get Len to spend as much time as possible with Uzume right from the get go.
70	* {{Miko}}: Of the MagicalGirl fighting against {{Youkai}} variety.
71	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Ruka's girly girl.
72	* VitriolicBestBuds: While she loves to tease and annoy her all the time, its clear that Shino loves Len as a friend and in Part 1, she is usually the one who helps Len recover from her most recent traumatic event.
73	[[/folder]]
74
75	[[folder:Sarume Uzume]]
76	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/uzume596.png]]
77	Shinonome's older sister who has lived her entire life sheltered inside [[PocketDimension the sanctuary]] in the village. Uzume is latest in the line of similarly named Sarume family members who posses the power to drive the Ayakashi back to the Underworld and the key advantage that Kunai Organization has against them. She's blindly in love with Len and isn't afraid to show it off either.
78	----
79	* AnimalMotifs: She's frequently compared to a puppy due to her high attachment on Len and how she acts whenever Len either comes to visit or leaves The Sanctuary.
80	* BeneathTheMask: She intentionally tries to keep her devious streak hidden from Len, but Uzume can be quite manipuliatve when she tries. [[spoiler:She's also very, very scared of her impending doom despite her talk of duty.]]
81	* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:Whatever Mitsurugi did to her in part 2 stole her sealing powers.]]
82	* ClingyJealousGirl: She gets pouty whenever Len so much as thinks of another girl until Uzume can even it out.
83	* CoolBigSis: She acts as one for all the girls whenever Len isn't around.
84	* HappilyFailedSuicide: [[spoiler:She's ultimately glad that her ritual was interrupted by Mitsurugi in time since she'll be able to spend the rest of her life with Len.]]
85	* HypocriticalHumour: Uzume is quick to scold Shino for her blasphemy after she speaks of the gods in a disrespectful tone, even though Uzume's own worshiping of Len would most certainly count as such behavior.
86	* IDontWantToDie: [[spoiler:When the time for her sacrifice comes she breaks down that she wants to spend more time with Len, but she's [[HesitantScarifice still willing to go through with it]].]]
87	* KimonoFanservice: She has a visible CleavageWindow on her Kimono and she doesn't wear any bra either.
88	* MarshmallowHell: Poor Len has to frequently deal with breathing issues, thanks to Uzume's massive rack and her tendency to hug Len as hard as she can. This doesn't exactly help with Len's own [[ACupAngst self-esteem issues over her breasts]] either.
89	* LegacyOfTheChosen: The title and powers of Uzume has been passed down every third generation to a white haired female child of the Sarume family for thousands of years.
90	* LovableSexManiac: When it comes to all things Len.
91	* MacGuffinSuperPerson: Uzume is the only real trump card that Kunai Organization has against the Ayakashi since she can seal them away from this world, making her also a key target for Ayakashi to attempt to take out. [[spoiler:However if she uses her power, she would most certainly die, which motivates Len and Shino to attempt to defeat the Ayakashi through conventional methods.]]
92	* MeaningfulAppearance: She has a beauty mark on the corner of her left eye that symbolizes her tragic past.
93	* SenselessSacrifice: [[spoiler:Discussed; Len points out that there is nothing that can guarantee that her sacrifice will be able to stop the Ayakashi, but Uzume is still determined to go through with it. In the end, this turns out to be correct and most of the women carrying the role of Uzume before her were killed to uphold the masquerade, rather than to close off the Underworld.]]
94	* ShipperOnDeck: A tragic example. [[spoiler:She encourages Sana's feelings for Len and tells Len to pursue a relationship with Sana when she's older in the hopes [[HerHeartWillGoOn Len will move on after Uzume's death]].]]
95	* SingleTargetSexuality: She shows no sexual interest towards anyone but Len and it doesn't matter to her whether she is a boy or a girl either.
96	* StalkerShrine: She has saved practically every piece of Len memorabilia she has collected over the years consisting of everything from the candy and letters Len gave to her as a child to ''[[PantyThief hanging Len's panties on the wall]]''.
97	* SupremeChef: She's frequently applauded by Len for her supreme cooking skills. Apparently all it takes for her to perfect a new recipe is to have one taste of the food and to know all the ingredients.
98	* UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler:Her last moments before the ritual consist of her crying her eyes out and desperately begging to spend more time with Len. Thankfully subverted in the end when Mitsurugi knocks her out and takes her power.]]
99	* UndyingLoyalty:
100	** Good portion of the people in the capital branch are willing to sacrifice their lives [[HeroicSacrifice (and many do)]] if it means saving Uzume from having to use her power.
101	** Uzume herself plays with this trope when it comes to her relationship with Len. Despite the LivingEmotionalCrutch levels of attachment she has to Len, she puts her duty as a member of the Kunai Organization ahead of their relationship, though this in itself is largely motivated by her own wishes to protect Len. [[spoiler:Even when she very clearly doesn't want to die and begs to just spend more time with Len right before her ritual, she's so dedicated to go through with it that Mitsurugi could only stop her from doing it by knocking her out.]]
102	* VirginPower: She needs to be a virgin to maintain her power, hence only women are allowed to visit the sanctuary. [[TechnicalVirgin This doesn't apply to lesbian sex though]] and she's free to make love with Len.
103	* YamatoNadeshiko: Len even states a number of times that she's perfect wife material.
104	[[/folder]]
105
106	[[folder:Himemishi Ruka/[[spoiler:Mirukashi Hime]]]]
107	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ruka624.png]]
108	Tsuchimikado's niece who lives in the village and Shinonome's girlfriend. Ruka is a non-combatant with a mysterious past and frail body who helps out in the village with menial tasks such as food deliveries.
109	----
110	* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:She intends to become one at the end of Part 2 to redeem for the actions she committed under Tsuchimikado's orders.]]
111	* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: She quickly fell for Shino because she was the first person in her life that showed any kind of concern for her well being.
112	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Should you manage to anger her somehow, Ruka becomes ''absolutely terrifying''. [[spoiler:When she's had enough with Tsuchimikado after he orders her to kill Shino, she doesn't hesitate at all to cut his head off.]]
113	* BrokenBird: See DarkAndTroubledPast below.
114	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Her past is one huge TearJerker. [[spoiler:She was born to the chieftain of one of the Tsuchigumo tribes and she spent most of her early life in absolute poverty and medieval conditions. When she grew up, she was recruited by Tsuchimikado who promised to help her tribe if she did what she was told to do. Under Tsucimikado's orders, Ruka was forced to do absolutely monstrous acts ranging from torture to outright genocide and one of the populations she killed was lead by Mitsurugi.]] It's no wonder she is a [[EmptyShell barely functioning mess of a human being]] by the time she meets Shino for the first time.
115	* DefrostingIceQueen: She used to be a cold and distant person, until she met Shino, who cared for her more than anyone else before in her life.
116	* DissonantSerenity: She's pretty easy-going as she discusses [[spoiler:killing Tsuchimikado, then crushing his brain and heart to be safe]].
117	* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:After getting orders from Tsuchimikado to murder her own girlfriend, Ruka finally snaps and cuts his head off.]]
118	* EmptyShell: She's barely functioning by the time that Shino first meets her due to her past. She does start getting better once the two them start dating though.
119	* FinalSolution: [[spoiler:Ruka unknowingly murdered Mitsurugi's people after Tsuchimikado forced her to fight and torture them, something that she still feels extremely deep regret over.]]
120	* HoneyTrap: [[spoiler:Subversion of sorts, Ruka was supposed to become Shino's best friend and earn her trust under Tsuchimikado's orders so that he could better spy on her activities, but since Ruka didn't understand what friendship was supposed to be like she instead ended up answering to Shino's romantic feelings towards her. Too bad for him Ruka really did fall for her.]]
121	* InLoveWithTheMark: [[spoiler:She ended up falling for Shino, the girl she was supposed to observe. When Tsuchimikado finally ordered Ruka to kill her Ruka ended up [[TheDogBitesBack killing him instead]].]]
122	* LoveRedeems: [[spoiler:Ruka used to be a cold hearted killer raised in hellish conditions, but after meeting Shinome, she learned to ccare about other people and began questioning the orders given to her by Tsuchimikado, ultimately turning on him.]]
123	* MeaningfulName: Her nickname "Hime" is quite appropriate, considering her princess-like appearance and mannerisms [[spoiler:as well as her role as a chieftain of the Mirukashi clan]].
124	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:She nearly has a mental breakdown after Tsuchimikado reveals that the people he ordered her to kill during their first meeting were actually Katsuragi clan, Mitsurugi's people.]]
125	* NiceGirl: After meeting Shino, she has become a caring and friendly person who wants to help others.
126	* {{Ojou}}: Len compares her to an upper class lady due to her mannerisms. [[spoiler:Being the chieftain of Mirukashi clan, this comparison turns out to be much more appropriate than Len first imagined.]]
127	* SugarAndIcePersonality: She has two personalty modes: Nice and Cold. She is primarily in her nice mode throughout the story thanks to the influence of Shino, but she occasionally relapses when she either remembers something from her past or [[spoiler:realizes that her objectives will ultimately go against those of her friends]].
128	* TheTease: Towards Len. [[spoiler:She even uses an orb to send her an EroticDream where she dominates Len]].
129	* ThousandYardStare: She has an extremely vacant stare whenever she is in her cold personality mode, which is hardly surprising considering her past.
130	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Girly girl to Shino's tomboy.
131	* WalkingSpoiler: Her backstory is a vital part of later plot developments.

134	!!Kunai Organization Central Branch
135
136	[[folder:Tsuchimikado]]
137	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tsuchimikado345.png]]
138	Highest ranking member of the Kunai Organizations Capital Branch, Tsuchimikado is the descendant of [[UsefulNotes/{{Onmyodo}} Abe no Seimei]]. He primarily occupies himself with various administrative and organizational tasks. Almost universally seen as either creepy or annoying.
139	----
140	* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: While most people in the village are willing to admit that he is a capable leader, nobody seems to like him on a personal level.
141	* BigBad: [[spoiler:He's ultimately still just a middle as deep as we get to the Kunai Organization conspiracy by Part 2.]]
142	* BitchInSheepsClothing: While at first he looks like a silly guy who likes to throw pop culture references around, [[spoiler:Tsuchimikado is really a completely ruthless sociopath who treats everyone around him as pawns that he can control whenever he wants.]]
143	* BullyingADragon: [[spoiler:Sure Tsuchimikado, tell [[TykeBomb Ruka]] to kill her girlfriend while threatening everyone she loves without any witnesses around. What's the worst that could happen?]]
144	* TheChessmaster: The plans he sets in motion are almost guaranteed to work out in the end [[spoiler: hell, even after his death, his plans are still in motion]].
145	* CoolCar: He drives a heavily customized and turbocharged [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_Sambar Subaru Sambar]] kei van.
146	* ConsummateLiar: To the point that its hard to trust ''any'' of the information he gives.
147	* DrivesLikeCrazy: His tendency to drift through the mountain passes at full speed doesn't do any favors to Len's usual vomiting problems, or anyone else having to sit in the back of his van for that matter.
148	* DidntSeeThatComing: The only event he genuinely didn't expect to happen was [[spoiler:Ruka turning on her]].
149	* FlatEarthAtheist: Despite fighting against the return of the god of the underworld, he questions the existence of gods, specifically whether anyone can prove if they're divine beings. This actually falls in line with the beliefs of Kunai Organization though.
150	* {{Foil}}: He heavily contrasts with the Ayakashi who [[CannotTellALie aren't able to lie]] and act loyally on the orders of their master.
151	* HateSink: [[spoiler:While the other villains in the plot have at least some redeeming values, Tsuchimikado has absolutely none and the downright monstrous acts he has forced Ruka and Mitsurugi to do are instead used to build sympathy for them]].
152	* JustBetweenYouAndMe: [[spoiler:He's pretty open that nobody else in the Organization knows all he does while he explains his plans to Ruka. Which also means they'll struggle to continue his work if she were to take him out, which she does.]]
153	* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:He dies after one of the "tools" he trusted so much to do all his dirty work for him [[DogBitesBack turns on him]].]]
154	* TheMole: [[spoiler: Well... sort of. He's still working for the Kunai Organization, but their real goal is to bring back the god of the underworld and is in direct opposition to the main heroines.]]
155	* NonActionGuy: Despite being a descendant of Abe no Seimei, he doesn't actually have any special powers and he's extremely weak physically according to Shino, hence his duties in the organization are mostly administrative.
156	* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:His particularly gory death from decapitation in the hands of Ruka is shown in full detail to the player.]]
157	* TheSociopath: [[spoiler:He has absolutely no sympathy towards anyone and pretty much treats his subordinates in the capital branch as disposable tools he [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness just kills off when he has no more use for them]].]]
158	[[/folder]]
159
160	[[folder:Mitsurugi]]
161	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mitsurugi104.png]]
162	The most powerful of all the five Divine Sword wielders, Mitsurugi is an androgynous looking female who often acts as Tsuchimikado's right hand in the field.
163	----
164	* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: Ruka reveals that Mitsurugi has secretly been adding teddy bears to her delivery schedule. [[spoiler:This turns out to be related to something much more disturbing than it first sounds.]]
165	* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler:As a Tsuchigumo and the chieftain of the Katsuragi clan, Mitsurugi has Ayakashi blood running through her vains.]]
166	* IAmNotLeftHanded: [[spoiler:While we already knew that she was stronger than the other Divine Sword wielders, she's actually even stronger than she lets on thanks to being part Ayakashi and she quickly overpowers Morita in a fight.]]
167	* LadyLooksLikeADude: She has very androgynous looks and trying to identify her gender isn't helped at all by her masculine sounding name, stoic attitude, and lack of voiced lines.
168	* LightningBruiser: Strong attacks, good blocking and overwhelming speed and [[spoiler:incredibly fast healing ability]] make Mitsurugi by far the strongest Divine Sword wielder.
169	* LikeASonToMe: She admits that she thinks of Uzume like her own daughter. [[spoiler:This is because because she is a ReplacementGoldfish for Mitsurugi's own daughter who would be around the same age as her at this point if she were alive.]]
170	* TheMole: [[spoiler:She was really working with Ayakashi and Tsuchimikado all along to help bring down the world.]]
171	* MoralityPet: [[spoiler:Despite her many villainous actions, she really does love all the main characters as if they were her daughters, even Ruka who murdered her people whom she has been donating her salary to and whom she really wishes that Len and Shino will be able to save her from despair.]]
172	* NothingPersonal: [[spoiler:She doesn't blame Ruka for killing her people and understands that the situation was beyond her control.]]
173	* TheStoic: Mitsurugi rarely emotes and has almost always a serious attitude.
174	* SuperSpeed: While she is [[LightningBruiser capable in pretty much every area]], Mitsurugi's greatest ability is her overwhelming speed. She doesn't even need the ConfusionFu abilities of Len, because her strikes are so fast that even when opponents are capable of detecting them, she has already attacked by the time that the opponent prepares to block the attack.
175	* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler:Just like Ruka, she grew in horrible conditions was given little choice of what to do with her life. After Ruka commited genocide against her clan, she became resentful towards humanity and now has little more motivation to live than to take revenge on the world that ignored the suffering and ultimate fate of her people.]]
176	* WalkingSpoiler: Much like Ruka, her backstory is a vital part of later plot developments.
177	[[/folder]]
178
179	[[folder:Morita]]
180	Old gentleman who wields one of the five Divine Swords, Morita is a survivor from the Great Taisho Calamity.
181	----
182	* BerserkButton: He really hates foxes due to one of them being responsible for Utano's death and he is determined to bring at least one of them down.
183	* {{BFS}}: His Divine Sword is simply a giant sword that is bigger than he is.
184	* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:He doesn't let Mitsurugi's sudden betrayal slow him down and he still manages to take out a fox despite being heavily wounded.]]
185	* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler:He doesn't take Mitsurugi's backstabbing too well.]]
186	* MyGreatestFailure: He still feels a great deal of regret over his inability to save Utano and the previous Uzume.
187	* OldSoldier: Over 100 years of age has done little to slow him down thanks to the Divine Sword's power.

198	Kunai Organization Centeral Branch's top field commander.
199	----
200	* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:Did she really want Haku to return the broken piece of blade to Len when she had her final words with her or was this all just an attempt from her to try lure Haku closer and kill her with explosives?]]
201	* BadassNormal: That Naginata isn't giving her any special powers, yet she's perfectly capable of taking down Ayakashi in large numbers.

217	* AbortedDeclarationOfLove: Combined with DyingDeclarationOfLove, Uzume was just about to admit her feelings Towards Utano during her ritual until Utano pulled off her HeroicSacrifice [[spoiler:and Uzume died almost immediately afterwards because of the ritual]].

228	* ArtEvolution: She gets a more detailed character sprite in Part 2.
229	* AntiVillain: She doesn't actually want to hurt anyone, but as an Ayakashi, she doesn't have much choice over her orders either. When Haku finally has to fight, she attempts to avoid all unnecessary killing by prompting people not to resist her.
230	* BadassAdorable: Don't let her looks fool you, she's just as dangerous as the other Foxes.
231	* FriendlyEnemy: She develops a deep bond with Len and is saddened when she realizes that there is eventually no way to to avoid a conflict between the two of them.
232	* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:She officially joins Len's resistance in the Byakko extra scenario.]]
233	* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:Last we see her, she is blown up by Miyata in a suicide attack utilizing broken piece from Len's sword and even Inari doesn't seem to know her whereabouts. The "Byakko" extra scenario reveals that she survived the blast.]]

239	----
240	* AffablyEvil:

243	[[/folder]]

246	God of the cultists that have been seen around Kyoto.
247	----
248	* AntiVillain: Tsuchigumo is trying to fight for the freedom of his people who have been shunned away from the society and are living in horrid conditions for actions they committed over 2000 years ago. Both Len and Sarume admit that they understand his plight, but have to fight against him because his victory would mean either [[spoiler:having to sacrifice Uzume]], the death of everyone living in the village or even EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.
249	* AmbiguousRobots: Len and Shino note in Part 1 that he clearly has a robotic form
250	* BigBad: He's clearly one of the people running the show on the Ayakashi side. [[spoiler:Except not really, see RedHerring below.]]
251	* ICantSenseTheirPresence: As with Inari, Len can't sense Tsuchigumo's presence.
252	* PoweredArmor: [[spoiler:He really isn't an individual at all, just Ruka wearing an experimental exoskeleton suit.]]
253	* RedHerring: [[spoiler:He doesn't have much to do with the plot at all and is there to just distract everyone from the bigger picture, even his cult turns out to have been fake all along and his only real purpose was to help train Shino and Len.]]
254	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He suddenly disappears from the plot in Part 2 without a trace. [[spoiler:That's because Len and Shino learned to use the abilities of their Divine Swords themselves, hence there was no point in having Tsuchigumo train them any further.]]
