| 8 | !Ono Clan |
| 9 | A clan of kitsune now linked directly with Yokosuka Naval Base and Harry Potter-Nagato. |

| 11 | [[folder: Natsumi]] |
| 12 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/natsumi_7.jpg]] |
| 13 | [[caption-width-right:350:Natsumi aged 15-16]] |
| 14 | A young Kitsune and Harry's classmate from before he began to attend Hogwarts. She is training to be a miko with her aunt. |
| 15 | ---- |
| 16 | * AsianFoxSpirit: She's a Kitsune and everyone knows, but Harry is afraid to tell her he does, due to the old stories of such things. It all gets sorted out during the summer after his second year at Hogwarts, when she reveals just what she is to him during the battle with Kuroshi. |
| 17 | * BeyondTheImpossible: She gains a second tail at the age of ''thirteen'', or around eighty to ninety years earlier than she should have when she absorbs the power of the Sesshou-seki, the very stone that, according to Japanese legend, is the Tamamo-no-mae's corpse, during the battle with Kuroshi. |
| 18 | * CannotSpitItOut: While it's [[EveryoneKnewAlready obvious to everyone who knows her]] that she is crushing hard on Harry, this is also complicated by her being a Kitsune and needing to keep that a secret. It drives her up the proverbial wall on many an occasion. [[spoiler: As of now, the secret is out.]] |
| 19 | * ChildhoodFriend: To Harry. |
| 20 | * {{Expy}}: In spite of being a fox, Natsumi is a dead ringer for [[Literature/SpiceAndWolf Holo the Wisewolf]]. Lampshaded by the kitsune herself, who put on the appropriate clothes one Halloween, [[ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself left her ears and tail out]], and called herself Natsumi the Wise Fox. |
| 21 | * GroinAttack: When some of the Tokyo Remnants attempt to kidnap Fubuki's kids and take them to a Reserve, Fubuki uses a qi-enhanced kick to literally pop the balls on one of them. |
| 22 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: Some snippets feature her and [[PhysicalGod Shiromizu]] investigating yokai misadventures. |
| 23 | * PantyShot: Natsumi & Shiromizu are investigating reports of a ghost girl (not too dissimilar to Myrtle) in the toilets of a kids school. Natsumi doesn't find one, but thinks that she can still hear something coming from the ceiling (she's right; it's a radio) and she needs Shiromizu to give her a boost to check, so Shiro gets a look up her skirt in doing so, and not surprisingly teases her over what would happen if Harry were in her position. |
| 24 | ** Pink and white stripes according to Shiromizu; she thought they'd be Shimapan. Natsumi insists Aunt Haru bought them for her as a joke and had forgot to do the laundry so they were the only set she had going spare. |
| 25 | * ReincarnationRomance: [[spoiler:As Su Daji, Natsumi had two loves, her husband Jiahao and Jiahao's female friend Lianhua. Their deaths were what pushed Daji into becoming the toppler of dynasties that she is known for.]] |
| 26 | ** [[spoiler:As the kitsune Mikuzune, she loved Natsue, who would be her first retainer Momoiro, and a young man named Mikawa no Chūjitsu. Again, their deaths would lead to her becoming Tamamo no Mae, one of the Three Great Monsters of Japan.]] |
| 27 | ** In the current timeline, her two loves have been reincarnated as Harry Potter and Ren the Huli-Jing/Kitsune hybrid. |
| 28 | * SecretLegacy: A friend of her family's is Hoshi, a full nine-tailed Kitsune, who may or may not be her [[spoiler: grandmother or great-grandmother]]. To add to the reason why it needs to be kept completely secret? Hoshi is confirmed to be the daughter of [[spoiler: '''Tamamo-no-mae''']]. |
| 29 | [[/folder]] |
| 30 | |
| 31 | [[folder: Haru]] |
| 32 | The miko of a local shrine sometimes attended by Harry and the Shipgirls at Yokosuka. She is actually a Kitsune with great experience and skill with magic. |
| 33 | ---- |
| 34 | * CantHoldHerLiquor: She's a pretty stunning drunk. Natsumi is the one who usually has to pick up the pieces. |
| 35 | * DeathSeeker: Became this during Blood Week when her husband was killed. Was snapped out of it by her sister Sayaka, Natsumi's mother, catching up to her and shoving pictures of her nephew and nieces in her face asking if she wanted them to grieve for her and seek revenge if she dies. |
| 36 | * TheGadfly: Enjoys teasing her nieces and nephew. |
| 37 | * GenreSavvy: After Ginny Weasley's possession by the Diary Horcrux, Haru decided to have Ginny visit the shrine so any BrainwashResidue that was lingering could be removed via a ritual. |
| 38 | * TheMentor: Is training Natsumi as a Miko, and has helped Harry perfect his skills with Ofuda. Is also training [[PhysicalGod Shiromizu]] in many things as well. |
| 39 | * Really700YearsOld: A Kitsune's tails indicate how many centuries one has been alive. Haru starts the story out with four. |
| 40 | [[/folder]] |
| 41 | |
| 42 | !The Kingdom of Foxes |
| 43 | An island reserve of Kitsune, Huli Jing, and Kumiho situated off the coast of Korea. |
| 44 | Tropes pertaining to the Kingdom of Foxes in general: |
| 45 | * ContrivedCoincidence: It was certainly quite convenient that one of the denizens was a natural-born hospital ship who had a large stockpile of the Draught of Living Death, who awoke just in time to put many critically injured people in a state of suspended animation until a way to heal them could be found. |
| 46 | * LittleBitBeastly: All of its denizens are either Kitsune, Huli Jing, or Kumiho, with all of the corresponding ears and tails. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | [[folder: Chun-Hei]] |
| 49 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_o896u0hkqq1tdm9gso1_640.jpg]] |
| 50 | [[caption-width-right:350:As seen just before she finished off the Heavy Cruiser Princess that led the attack on the Kingdom of Foxes]] |
| 51 | The young Kumiho Empress of the Kingdom of Foxes. Also the natural-born of a 16th-century turtle ship. |
| 52 | ---- |
| 53 | * AChildShallLeadThem: With the rest of the royal family killed by a decapitation strike, Chun-Hei was forced to take over after repelling the Abyssals that had killed her family. |
| 54 | * {{Expy}}: Is a dead ringer for [[VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends Star Guardian Ahri]]. |
| 55 | * ThePromise: Promised her friend Bitna to take care of her brother Bo-Seon. |
| 56 | * TheStrategist: Chun-Hei has Admiral Yi Sun-Sin as a fairy, with all of the tactical and strategic knowledge that he had in life. |
| 57 | * SubordinateExcuse: Seems to be aiming for a relationship with her aide Bo-Seon. [[spoiler:As of now, they are secretly boyfriend and girlfriend.]] |
| 58 | * TheUnchosenOne: Chun-Hei's father never even considered letting her inherit the throne. However, when the rest of her family was killed, she was forced to take over. |
| 59 | * TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: Fully awoke after seeing the Kingdom of Foxes devastated by Abyssal forces, plus her friend almost dying to save her. |
| 60 | * WeakButSkilled: On paper, Chun-Hei and her forces shouldn't have been able to do anything against Abyssals who are centuries more up-to-date technologically than they are. But because Chun-Hei has Yi Sun-Sin as a fairy, she has an almost instinctive knowledge of [[AttackItsWeakPoint structural weaknesses in their enemies]], enabling their otherwise-weak firepower to achieve devastating effects. |
| 61 | [[/folder]] |
| 62 | |
| 63 | [[folder: Myung Bo-Seon]] |
| 64 | A young Kumiho who is Chun-Hei's personal aide [[spoiler: and recently boyfriend.]] |

| 67 | [[/folder]] |
| 68 | |
| 69 | [[folder: MyungBitna]] |
| 70 | Chun-Hei's ChildhoodFriend who was grievously injured in the initial attack on the Kingdom of Foxes. |
| 71 | ---- |
| 72 | * OnlyMostlyDead: Was fatally injured, but is being kept in suspended animation via the Draught of Living Death being used on her and others who were injured. |
| 73 | * TakingTheBullet: Threw Chun-Hei out of the path of an artillery strike that would have killed them both otherwise. |
| 74 | [[/folder]] |
| 75 | |
| 76 | [[folder: Bao-Si]] |
| 77 | An old fox who has been alive for hundreds of years. |
| 78 | ---- |
| 79 | * AlternateSelf: Is this for Tamamo, having been revived by a tail being given to her as Tamamo (then known as Daji) was fleeing China. |
| 80 | * IWasQuiteALooker: In her youth, had beauty comparable to Helen of Troy's. |
| 81 | * {{Seers}}: Can see events from far away. |
| 82 | * WoundThatWillNotHeal: Has irremovable marks around her neck from when she first died by hanging. |

| 96 | * CatchPhrase: "Burning Love!" |
| 97 | * CoolCar: A Range Rover. |
| 98 | * {{Engrish}}: While Drunk. However, being drunk combined with her BerserkButton make her sound like a Chav. |
| 99 | * GenkiGirl: Often seen as energetic as in the original browser game and anime. Such as holding tea time, or presenting The Talk to Harry when it is the "Springtime of his Youth". |
| 100 | * HiddenDepths: Beneath her normal genki persona is a very thoughtful, wise mind, resulting from her long-time service with the Imperial Japanese Navy and being among the first shipgirls to appear following Blood Week. |
| 101 | * LargeHam: True to canon, she has a loud and bombastic personality. |
| 102 | * MesACrowd: Thanks to some liberal use of Polyjuice Potion, "The Night Of The Living Dess" in a nutshell. |
| 103 | * TrademarkFavoriteDrink: Kongou enjoys English-style tea, and can quickly set up afternoon tea in a few seconds with the help of her sisters. |
| 104 | * VerbalTic: "Dess!" |
| 105 | [[/folder]] |
| 106 | |
| 107 | [[folder: Ooyodo]] |
| 108 | Admiral Goto's main secretary, alongside Nagato. |
| 109 | ---- |
| 110 | * BadassBureaucrat: Comes with being a shipgirl, but her administrative skills are unmatched, with Ooyodo doing her best to keep resources from running out, important given Japan's status as an island nation in the war with the Abyssals. Despite this she is also a: |
| 111 | * BeleagueredBureaucrat: She has become rather stressed from the war efforts, the appearance of multiple capital ships (whom usually means more resource consumption), and Goto keeps avoiding paperwork. |
| 112 | * BigSisterInstinct: Gains a sister ship in Niyodo, one of the Paper Ships. |
| 113 | * DeadpanSnarker: If anyone is giving Goto sass it's usually her. His fishing exploits for example. |
| 114 | * EvilLaugh: Gives one upon finding out that [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/harry-and-the-shipgirls-goblet-of-feels-a-hp-kancolle-snippet-collection.772633/page-375#post-62294765 she had several tons of platinum to be added to the budget.]] |
| 115 | * MustHaveCaffeine: Ooyodo gets very cranky if she hasn't had her coffee. |
| 116 | [[/folder]] |
| 117 | |
| 118 | [[folder: Akashi]] |
| 119 | The main repair ship of Yokosuka Base |
| 120 | ---- |
| 121 | * GadgeteerGenius: Part of her work has been adapting technology used by western shipgirls for the Japanese, including radar, fitting Japanese copies of the legendary Bofors 40 mm Anti-aircraft gun, along with other equipment and systems. |
| 122 | * TheMadScientist: The first thing that came to several shipgirls minds when Akashi was going to show how Harry would look when older was "You didn't invent something to age him did you?" Voiced by Yamoto. |
| 123 | [[/folder]] |
| 124 | |
| 125 | [[folder: Mikasa]] |
| 126 | The Legendary Pre-Dreadnought Battleship who served as Admiral Togo's flagship during the Battle of Tsushima. Now awoken as a shipgirl. [[AirVentPassageway Enjoys sneaking around Yokosuka via the vents]], and is part of Goto's office staff, given her relative obsolescence. |
| 127 | ---- |
| 128 | * FourStarBadass: The flagship of Legendary Admiral Tōgō Heihachirō during the battle of Tsushima, she is highly respected. |
| 129 | * TheGadfly: She especially enjoys annoying Kongou, or "Chibi-Kon" according to her. |
| 130 | [[/folder]] |
| 131 | |
| 132 | [[folder: Haruna]] |
| 133 | ---- |
| 134 | * BadassDriver: As her namesake mountain is featured in Initial D, this trope is played for all its worth. Haruna drives a Toyota Corolla [=AE86=] painted exactly like the iconic car in the manga, with plenty of Eurobeat music. She also regularly races, with plenty of hair-raising stunts and drifting. |
| 135 | * HappilyMarried: [[spoiler: To Rose Potter. They officially tied the knot aboard Haruna's spiritual hull.]] |
| 136 | * LightningBruiser: Despite her gentleness, she is still a fast battleship that could go 30 knots. |
| 137 | * StatuesqueStunner: 5' 11'' according to WordOfGod. |
| 138 | ** OneHeadTaller: [[spoiler: Contrast her wife Rose at 5' 3''.]] |

| 141 | [[folder: Shinano]] |
| 142 | [[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1000450265_4.jpg]] |
| 143 | The third Yamato-class shipgirl, who was converted from a battleship into a carrier during her construction. |
| 144 | ---- |
| 145 | * AlternateSelf: Had a dream where she met an alternate version of herself, from a WhatIf scenario where the Axis won World War II instead of the Allies. She...hadn't enjoyed her life. This was not just a dream, as when Shinano woke up, she had a folder provided by her alternate self. |
| 146 | * DCupDistress: Shinano does not like the size of her fuel tanks, viewing them as a reminder of her conversion from a battleship into a carrier. |
| 147 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: Views herself as not even a true carrier. Even [[TheAce Enterprise]] saying otherwise wasn't enough to break this mindset. |
| 148 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: When a planning meeting for the Yule Ball was interrupted by Iku revealing that Harry had entered her hull and gone deep inside her, Shinano said they should be careful, because of forum rules and mods watching. Lampshaded by Urakaze. |
| 149 | -->'''Urakaze:''' "Er, Shinano-Sama? Why are ya'll leanin' against tha' there wall?" |
| 150 | * LetsGetDangerous: During Operation [=UNDERTOW=], a volcanic eruption caused most of the carriers to be forced to withdraw, as the massive cloud of ash made it impossible to launch their planes and they didn't have armor belts. Shinano bolted the guns from her damaged planes onto her flight deck and went right back into the thick of it, knowing that as a Yamato conversion, she was more than capable of taking some hits. |
| 151 | * ShrinkingViolet: Is extremely shy. |
| 152 | [[/folder]] |
| 153 | |
| 154 | [[folder: Kaga]] |
| 155 | One of Japan's oldest fleet carriers, who converted from a battleship. |
| 156 | ---- |
| 157 | * TheGadfly: Enjoys ribbing Zuikaku, to the point of having a pet turkey named "[=ZuiZui=]" and getting Harry to call Zuikaku a turkey as well. |
| 158 | [[/folder]] |
| 159 | |
| 160 | [[folder: Akagi]] |
| 161 | ---- |
| 162 | * BadassDriver: While nowhere as insane as Haruna, she has taught herself how to drift race on her namesake mountain. |
| 163 | * BigEater: She, along with Iowa, managed to complete the [[MegaMealChallenge Nine Clan Heads Challenge]], a nine-course feast in a Yokai sports bar that has defeated Oni, Taka Nyudo, Uwabami, and even a Mizuchi. |
| 164 | [[/folder]] |
| 165 | |
| 166 | [[folder: Ryuujou]] |
| 167 | One of the shikigami-using onmyouji carriers, she helped train Harry in using that form of magic. |
| 168 | ---- |
| 169 | * AccentAdaptation: Her distinctive accent is translated as a very southern US drawl. |
| 170 | * ACupAngst: Averted. She is proud of her "distinctive figure" and enjoys trolling others, including Admiral Goto, about it. |
| 171 | * BerserkButton: People who mock her accent (see below) gets her irritated. |
| 172 | [[/folder]] |
| 173 | |
| 174 | [[folder: White Plains]] |
| 175 | One of the Casablanca class escort carrier of Taffy 3. Has somehow become "momboat" to the entire Yamato Class. [[spoiler: Including Warship Number 111 and Warship Number 797, two members that were never completed.]] |
| 176 | ---- |
| 177 | * BadassAdorable: She acts like a kid most of the time and loves sugary cereals, but she is also a Carrier of Taffy 3. |
| 178 | * TeamMom: Acts as a mom for the Yamato Class [[spoiler: and derivatives]]. |

| 181 | [[folder: Naka]] |
| 182 | A natural-born, Naka was an aspiring IdolSinger hampered by the industry before discovering her shipgirl nature. A frequent livestreamer that often co-hosts with Harry Potter-Nagato, whom she affectionately calls "Chibi". |
| 183 | ---- |
| 184 | * GamerChick: Is frequently seen playing on a high-end gaming computer setup. |
| 185 | * WillTheyOrWontThey: With Harder. |
| 186 | [[/folder]] |
| 187 | |
| 188 | [[folder: Naka[[spoiler:-Alpha]]]] |
| 189 | This special duplicate of Naka has somehow summoned thanks to the Original Naka and Harder. She is in fact based on the original hull for Naka that was destroyed while under construction by fire during the 1922 Kanto Earthquake. This version was scrapped after the fire and construction on Naka was restarted after laying down a new keel. |

| 197 | * BestServedCold: Years after being disowned by her parents, Yuuko, along with Rika and Harry, got to publicly humiliate them at a high-class restaurant using nothing but Social Fu. |
| 198 | * ClingyJealousGirl: Deconstructed. While she is still clingy towards Kitakami, there is a tragic reason for it. |
| 199 | * FamilyOfChoice: Happily views Harry Potter as her younger brother. [[BigSisterInstinct And woe betide anyone who tries to harm him while she's around.]] |
| 200 | * ParentalAbandonment: Her parents disowned her for being a natural-born. Kitakami is all she has left that counts as family. |

| 211 | [[quoteright:850:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/082d6tfyaeg71.jpg]] |
| 212 | [[caption-width-right:850:As seen in her dress whites]] |
| 213 | ---- |
| 214 | * ACupAngst: [[DownplayedTrope While not something that is constantly brought up]], Fubuki did question how her own Abyssal counterpart had larger fuel tanks than she did. |
| 215 | --> Fubuki looked at her Abyssal version and then back. Placing her hands on her own chest, and then on the Abyssal's who yelped and jumped back, the lead ship of her class frowned. "How are you a cup size larger then I am? Is that some sort of Abyssal thing?" |
| 216 | * AdaptationalBadass: Fubuki in the anime had a lot of trouble learning how to fight as a shipgirl. Fubuki in this story? Self-summoned during Blood Week, helped protect several noncombatants...then beat a Battleship Princess one on one. |
| 217 | * BadassAdorable: Cute as a button, and has fought above her weight class several times and won. |
| 218 | * BadassBookworm: After her return, Fubuki made it a point to study and adapt the tactics that both sides used to win the war. When she had studied everything she could, she presented the tactics she had come up with to Admiral Goto, and he ordered them put into practice immediately. It is not an exaggeration to say that Fubuki's studying is a major reason why many shipgirls made it through the early days of the war. |
| 219 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Fubuki might be one of the sweetest shipgirls in Yokosuka, but hurt a child in her presence, and she has no mercy for you. |
| 220 | --> '''Fubuki:''' [[BorrowedCatchphrase Ara ara]]~ Does this look like the face of mercy? |
| 221 | * BigSisterInstinct: When Fubuki caught a Teke Teke that was planning to turn Harry into one of its victims, let's just say she and the other shipgirls who were on base made absolutely sure it wouldn't threaten Harry or anyone else ever again. |
| 222 | -->Fubuki just glanced at her with one eye while making sure not to take the other off the girl. "Yeah, I'll see you later, Mutsuki-chan. I'll see you tomorrow, Harry-chan." She waited as Mutsuki took off with Harry letting out a happy squeal as he said goodbye, before she turned her full attention back to the girl who shuddered at the smile on Fubuki's face. Said smile didn't reach her eyes and was somewhat predatory and frigid. It certainly didn't help that Fubuki's eyes were as cold as her name might suggest, lacking the usual warmth in them. "You know, Harry-chan is pretty much my Otouto in everyway, right? And it's my job as his big sister to protect him from those who might want to harm him..." Her eyes, if it was possible, got even more cold. "Which means that right now? Right now I'm pretty angry."\ |
| 223 | When the girl though shifted as if she was about to move, Fubuki held up one finger. "Ah-ah, I'm afraid that there's no getting out of this... Though I will say this..." Seeing that the girl was now focused on her, Fubuki grinned in a way that was in no way friendly. "As that American film we watched last week put it, we're clever girls." |
| 224 | * ChestOfMedals: It has been joked that Fubuki has so many medals, trying to set sail with all of them on would cause her to sink. |
| 225 | * ClarkKenting: Simply wearing a hat makes Fubuki very difficult to recognize. |
| 226 | * GunboatDiplomacy: When some Aurors in Sapporo were about to take some {{Yokai}} children to be processed for one of the [[FantasticGhetto Reserves]], Fubuki pointed out that there were three Destroyers and a Battleship who did not want to let that happen, and the Aurors would have had trouble with just one Destroyer. The Aurors immediately left the Yokai in her care. |
| 227 | * HartmanHips: Fubuki has been noted to have quite the ass, to the point where Yuudachi calls her "Fubooty". |
| 228 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: She is the flagship of her own squadron, which includes Yuudachi, Mutsuki, and Kana. |
| 229 | * AnIcePerson: Due to having a [[SweetPollyOliver crossdressing]] Yuki-Onna from the Arashis in her crew roster, Fubuki has the same powers over ice. [[OneHeroHoldTheWeakSauce Without the weakness to fire that Yuki-Onna normally have]], to boot. |
| 230 | * MamaBear: Reacted extremely poorly when some Tokyo Remnants attempted to kidnap her kids, to the point that Kurobi and Bansaburo had to remind her that corpses couldn't give information about their organization. |
| 231 | * RedBaron: The Mother of the Modern Destroyer. |
| 232 | * {{Troll}}: Enjoys pranking Filipino Officer Sheo Darren, and occasionally Kaga. |
| 233 | * WroteTheBook: Managed to codify the standard for shipgirl combat tactics. |

| 241 | * BewareTheSillyOnes[=/=]BigSisterInstinct: Like Fubuki, Yuudachi took it rather...poorly when a Teke Teke was caught attempting to hurt Harry |
| 242 | -->Utterly confused, the girl furrowed her eyes until a sound caused her to turn and her eyes widened at the red ones looking right at her. Before she could do anything though, Yuudachi's hand shot out and gripped her throat before lifting her up and above the wall to reveal that the girl's lower half was gone, nothing there but smoke. "Hi, I'm Yuudachi! One of Harry-chan's other nee-sans. And welcome to our Nightmare Party, Poi~..." |
| 243 | * ExiledToTheCouch: Yuudachi's role in a rather comical series of DisasterDominoes caused her to be exiled to a literal doghouse by Fubuki. |
| 244 | * HaremSeeker: Has been extremely pleased at being in a polygamous relationship with Fubuki, Mutsuki, Kisaragi, and Kana. Wants to add the Battlecruiser Akagi if she gets summoned. Lampshaded by the destroyer herself. |
| 245 | --> She then pressed herself closer to Fubuki before kissing the other Destroyer along the neck, smirking at the sighs her action got, "Besides… I look like I'm supposed to be in college, why not act like it?" |
| 246 | * RedBaron: The Nightmare of Solomon. |
| 247 | * TranquilFury: Was rather quiet in expressing her displeasure at what Quirrelmort pulled at the end of Harry's First Year. |
| 248 | -->Placing her hand down, Fubuki's sleeve moved until some of her Fairies came out and jogged across the table to where Mutsuki and Yuudachi were. Both Destroyers glanced at her before putting their own hands down and accepting the fairies into themselves. Almost a minute passed as the expressions on both Destroyers shifted through various emotions. While Mutsuki just placed her hand over her mouth, Yuudachi's eyes began to glow in anger. "Well, seems that I have someone who I will be inviting to a Nightmare Party, Poi~" |

| 257 | * DoubleEntendre: Shortly after she's summoned she's the stool pigeon for a bit of mutual trolling between Fubuki and Kaga laden with this. It gets worse when Kaga's and Akagi's sisters get involved, turning into one huge dose of IncestSubtext. |

| 309 | Formerly a pair of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitobashira hitobashira]] for an island caldera run by the Kamo Government. [[spoiler: Later summoned as twin installation shipgirls of the caldera.]] |
| 310 | ---- |
| 311 | * AbusiveParents: It was their own parents who nominated them as the caldera hitobashira, because in their eyes, it was the only way Ume and Sakura could serve the Konohana family. |
| 312 | * BackFromTheDead: Thanks to some creative spellwork and planning by Harry, the summoning ritual to summon the Caldera Shipgirls was able to revive Ume and Sakura as the twin Installations of the Caldera. |
| 313 | * BuriedAlive: Part of the process of becoming hitobashira. |
| 314 | * CameBackStrong: Originally, Ume and Sakura [[MuggleBornOfMages barely had any magical power.]] [[spoiler: [[SuperPowerLottery Being revived not only gave them the powers of an installation, but also gave them access to the abilities that their crews had, as well as the abilities they had as earthbound spirits.]]]] |
| 315 | * CoordinatedClothes: Currently wear near-identical clothes. |
| 316 | * DatingWhatDaddyHates: Part of the reason Harry is so appealing to Ume and Sakura is because their [[AbusiveParents parents]] would never approve of him. They also find it ''hilarious''. |

| 318 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: Went through a great deal of hardship to get a second chance at life. |

| 321 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: Harry Leferts has gone so far to state that at full power, Ume and Sakura would be the Fourth Great Ghost of Japan. |
| 322 | * SilkHidingSteel: [[YamatoNadeshiko They might be proper Japanese maidens,]] but if they ever are pushed into using a portion of their full power, things tend to go...badly...for their enemies. |
| 323 | * SingleMindedTwins: To Ume and Sakura, virtually the only difference between them is which name they have. |
| 324 | * SpannerInTheWorks: A simple desire to prevent things from continuing the way they were going was the reason they lifted the PerceptionFilter around the caldera. They had no way of knowing that the caldera was a massive lynchpin in Operation Tatarigami, a plan to start WorldWarIII between the magical and non-magical worlds. |
| 325 | * StringyHairedGhostGirl: This was the form they took when using their powers as hitobashira. |

| 332 | The spirit of the paper ship USS Louisiana. |
| 333 | ---- |
| 334 | * AndIMustScream: Being a paper ship, when Louisiana was summoned, the nature of the ritual effectively had her trapped in a coffin.

It was only some DreamSpying from Harry, the kitsune on Yokosuka, and other paper shipgirls that allowed Louisiana to be saved. |
| 335 | * ChefOfIron: Louisiana is EXTREMELY skilled at cajun cooking. She is also a [[MoreDakka battleship]]. |

| 344 | * ChekhovsSkill: Upon finding that Enerprise had been up all night, not getting any food or sleep, Kawa's skill at dealing with petulant children at the orphanage allowed her to frog march the Grey Ghost to the Mess Hall, shove burgers and milkshakes down her throat, take her to the shower, wash her off, then bring her to bed, with Kawa cuddling her to make sure she stayed put. |
| 345 | * InVinoVeritas: Got absolutely sloshed on New Year's Eve 2014, and when Enterprise said it was a new year to live with no regrets, gave the carrier and Yamato a kiss before telling them she wanted to marry them. Leading to... |

| 427 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Was THE focus character for the arc that reunited Hoppou with her fleet. |
| 428 | * ReassignedToAntarctica: He is in charge of Kushiro because he pissed off one of his superiors, who tried to get him cashiered and had to settle for that while doing his best to ensure that Tanaka never received the supplies or support in the amounts he requested. |
| 429 | * ReassignmentBackfire: Said reassignment and the problems he gained from it causes him to forge positive relations with the locals to ensure that his base is largely self-sufficient, puts him in position to make peaceful contact with the Fleet of Laughter, and gets him put on the short list to to promotion to Rear Admiral anyway. |

| 459 | ---- |
| 460 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Grew ''extremely'' attached to Tanaka for tutoring her. Him beating the stuffing out of her perverted apartment manager doubtless didn't help. |
| 461 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Hoo boy. |
| 462 | ** Her magical parents kicked her out for being a squib. |
| 463 | ** Her caretaker barely bothered to care for her, being far more interested in spending her money at a host club. |
| 464 | ** She had trouble in school before Tanaka tutored her. |
| 465 | ** Just before her fortune turned around, her perverted apartment manager revealed that he was raising a rent she could barely cover, with him trying to extort sexual services out of the 16-year old girl.

| 485 | The eldest member of the family, a katana owned by the Emperor of Japan. |
| 486 | ---- |
| 487 | * AbsurdlySharpBlade: Her name of Armor Cutter dates to a battle in 1355 when she cut a fully armored opponent's arm off with a one-handed blow during a civil war. |
| 488 | * AchievementsInIgnorance: Took on a young woman named Mōri Kiku as her secretary. It was only after Nobu met Kiku that they realized [[spoiler:she was the reincarnation of Kitsuno, Nobunaga's other true love.]] |
| 489 | * AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Kotegiri serves as the Emperor's voice. She is also easily on par with Honjo and Juuchi. |
| 490 | * BondOneLiner: Gave one after delivering [[OffWithHisHead an 'object lesson']] to the leaders of a band of Tokyo Aurors and politicians who would have started a civil war with the Kyoto Diet (while surrounded with the freshly decapitaed bodies of the people on her List). |
| 491 | --> '''"I trust that I shall not have to ever return to ''reinforce'' the lesson?"''' |
| 492 | * BadassBureaucrat: 'Ms. Oda' serves in the Imperial Household Agency as a Senior Imperial Advisor to the Chrysanthemum Throne... |
| 493 | * TheDreaded: ...and when called upon by the emperor to use her other talents, as Lord High Executioner of Japan. Has called three men "Master" in her time; [[SilkHidingSteel Emperor Showa (Hirohito)]], [[TheChessmaster Emperor Meiji,]] and [[MagnificentBastard Oda Nobunaga.]] |
| 494 | * DeadpanSnarker: Has a truly '''wicked''' dry wit, generally involving some form of BlackComedy before or after performing an execution. [[note]](After splitting Akechi Mitsuhide vertically at Nobu-chan's orders to 'give him a Traitor's Reward' she referenced Kansas' song ''Dust in the Wind''.) "Now he's half the man he used to be."[[/note]] This is primarily thanks to Oda Nobunaga also having a witty sense of humor. |
| 495 | * GoodIsNotSoft: Totally committed to the cause of a strong, prosperous, unified Japan. Willing to take ''all necessary steps'' for that dream as the direct advisor and executioner of the Emperor of Japan. |
| 496 | * KimonoIsTraditional: Wears a traditional kimono, and has an impressive closet full of them in her room in the Imperial Palace. One in the back is [[OhCrap blood red silk with the Oda clan heraldry]] that Oda Kotegiri wears to perform summary executions. Her appearing wearing it shows that she ''means business'' and is speaking in the Emperor's Voice. |
| 497 | * LampshadeHanging: In-universe. Kotegiri's '''favorite''' tune, which she hums or sings when she's in a very good mood is "I've Got A Little List" from The Mikado which is [[BlackComedy sung by the Lord High Executioner of Japan about the miscreants he plans to put to death]]. The joke is that Kotegiri (AKA 'The Lady High Executioner of Magical Japan') was part of the Imperial Japanese diplomatic delegation sent by Meiji to London in 1886 during The Mikado's first run at the Savoy Theater where she ''died laughing'' [[CrossesTheLineTwice during that aria]] and then again in 1907 (where the prince in charge as a special envoy specifically requested to see The Mikado thanks to her urging). [[ActuallyPrettyFunny She loves the play to the point of spending a chunk of her salary to insure that it is on regular rotation in Japanese theater troupes that she supports just so she can periodically go to enjoy it on her days off]]. |
| 498 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Kotegiri usually handles her work with a veneer of professionalism. [[spoiler:When a MadScientist forces Ranmaru to reincarnate for the sake of his experiments, Kotegiri [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath kills him with her bare hands]] and is frantic in the aftermath to ensure Ranmaru's health.]] |
| 499 | * SilkHidingSteel: Polite, calm, a perfect lady. Also one of the three most powerful and deadly Masamune blades and the strong right hand of [[DemonKingNobunaga Oda Nobunaga]] during his battles to unify Japan. |
| 500 | * SingleStrokeBattle: How she fights, with single, precise perfect, killing blows. |
| 501 | * TeamMom: For the Masamunes she acts as a firm hand on them using PolitenessJudo. |
| 502 | * ThisIsUnforgivable: Hearing about the Kamo Government's plan to take the rest of the world with them left Kotegiri ''extremely'' displeased. Emperor Heisei shared the sentiment, bidding her to don the Oda Kimono again. |
| 503 | * TheUnfettered: Oda Kotegiri is the embodiment of this trope. Whenever Kotegiri dons the Oda Kimono, it is because she has been given ''carte blanche'' to protect Japan by any means necessary (which can include summary executions of people being a problem) to resolve a problem.... |
| 504 | * YamatoNadeshiko: Extremely so from her centuries at court. |

| 529 | * CatchPhrase: Her standard greeting of "<Name>, let me whittle a bokken and kick your ass!" Alternately "<Name>! Do you want me to give you a beating?" to her sisters. |
| 530 | * ChallengeSeeker: Strives to perfect the Way of Swordsmanship by going on adventures and getting into trouble. |
| 531 | * {{Expy}}: A [[MasterSwordsman Master Swordswoman]] whose IconicOutfit is a red-and-blue kimono, with light pink hair, DualWielding a katana and wakizashi...hello, [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder Saber Musashi Miyamoto]]. |
| 532 | * InHarmsWay: Is striving to continually improve the Way of the Sword by her life experiences. |
| 533 | * MasterSwordsman: While all the Masamunes are incredibly skilled, Musashi is notable by being [[BeyondTheImpossible the most skilled of them all to the point that she is one of the most powerful in a fight because of her skill versus her enchantments]] unlike Kotegiri and Honjo. |
| 534 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: How her outward persona is crafted. She appears on the surface to be a BloodKnight or carefree wandering vagrant, when in fact she trains her mind just as much as she trains her body [[note]]'The Way is in all things, and all things are in The Way'[[/note]]. An example of this is before the battle for the Orochibunker when Musashi literally manifested chewing on a grass stalk like a peasant simpleton, gave Sugihara Kaya some extremely insightful advice and then ''procceded to unstoppably carve a bloody swathe through all the creatures opposing her''. It's been noted that the more stereotypically 'hick' that Musashi acts, the more intent and focused she actually is, which is something that she learned from Miyamoto Musashi, who got a ''''lot'''' of mileage out of being underestimated in duels. |
| 535 | * SpiritedCompetitor: Is shown to have no animosity to Truman refusing to fight her because of her oath despite Truman being almost as skilled as she is. Also refuses to fight a distressed Tokunotakai and instead tries to help Toku cope with her first battle. |
| 536 | * StrongAndSkilled: What makes Musashi a powerhouse is that while her baseline level of power is good but not great within her family (on a par with Fudo and Toku), she excels at getting the most out of it thanks to continual training and centuries of combat experience. She is only 'weak' in comparison to another legendary blade, though. |
| 537 | * TheIdiotFromOsaka: Speaks in Kansai-ben, also laid back, interested in fun and fighting and living day to day. Very much not an idiot, though. |
| 538 | * WalkingTheEarth: No set location or master, she obeys the final command of Miyamoto Musashi to "perfect her understanding of the Way of the Sword". |

| 544 | A tanto dagger consecrated to the Buddhist deity Fudo My'oo. Serves the Owari branch of the Tokugawas. |
| 545 | ---- |
| 546 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Fudo has had an inferiority complex and viewed herself as "not a true Masamune" since she never did any great heroic deeds unlike her sisters. Her wish to prove her worth was granted -- by having to face down a partially resurrected {{Orochi}} in a solo fight until help could arrive. [[OhCrap A monster that the first time took a major Shinto deity to kill]]. |
| 547 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Lost the love of her life [[HeroicSacrifice Gorota Tokugawa]] during World War Two, a war that Fudo supported. |
| 548 | * TheDon: Often mistaken for a high level Yakuza because her blade etching gives her a back tattoo, she wears expensive suits, works as a Vice-President of her family's construction company, and drives a loud American limousine. All of which are stereotypical signs of a yakuza member. Despite this and her divine patron nudging her periodically to destroy criminal syndicates that transgress the unwritten code of the underworld, she is no gangster. Everyone just thinks that she is. |
| 549 | * TheDreaded: To the Yakuza. They all see her as the Angel of Fudo My'oo's Wrath upon those syndicates who transgress, and speculate which oyabun she really works for. |
| 550 | * GlorySeeker: Wishes to prove her worth and that she belongs. Ironically, she does not understand that she is really a SmallStepsHero and contrary to what her sisters think, she did have Kyoshu on the ropes in their last fight in 1923. |
| 551 | * HotBlooded: As her sisters joke, she is the Muramasa of the Masamunes. She is short tempered, and always spoiling for a fight. |
| 552 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: With the best of intentions, shared the spells she had developed to fight Kyoshu with Sub-Unit 942 and supported the [[VillainWithGoodPublicity militaristic Kamo magical government]] during most of World War Two. [[spoiler:Said spells would be used to allow them to kidnap Kyoshu, allowing them to study the spells used on her in an attempt to resurrect and control some of Japan's most powerful and dangerous Yokai in a sealed bunker. Use of the spells obtained from Kyoshu would lead to Yawarakai-te, Masamune's masterwork, being mind raped to almost complete loss of her faculties.]] |
| 553 | * ReincarnationRomance: With her Master, no less than ''three'' times. The first time was during the Sengoku Jidai when she fell for the Tokugawa Clan's great general [[AFatherToHisMen Torii Mototada]]. The second loop was on the eve of World War Two as the second son of her owner [[StarCrossedLovers Tokugawa Gorota]]. Now he's back a third time as the tengu schoolboy [[AgeGapRomance Uesaka Yoichi]] who has the memories of the other two. |
| 554 | * TattooedCrook: Has a full-back tattoo of Fudo My'oo thanks to her blade being etched. Is frequently mistaken for a yakuza, which does Fudo's temper no favors. |

| 561 | ---- |
| 562 | * AffectionateNickname: Toku to her sisters (and the readers); To-chan to her lover Co-chan. |
| 563 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: A nice and sweet girl who is a trained exorcist and one of the best instructors in kendo and kyudo in Japan. |
| 564 | * CovertPervert: Toku has a very complete Lady Chastity collection (and she started long before she found out that Lady Chastity was the story of Colombe with the serial numbers filed off, too). What's more, she and Colombe seem to enjoy role playing the Masamune Miko exorcising the Demon Blade quite a bit. |
| 565 | * HeelFaceTurn: A mild example in her backstory. Toku was not seriously challenged in her skills after meeting her sister Musashi in 1623 and got a bad case of arrogance and an unwarranted superiority complex develop as a result. This lasted until Colombe showed up in 1864 and defeated her. Combined with a WhatTheHellHero speech from Hachiman who compared her understanding of Bushido unfavorably to Colombe's, she realized how badly she was backsliding and rededicated herself to heroism. |
| 566 | * {{Miko}}: A shrine maiden of Hachiman assigned to the Hachimangu in Kamakura. |
| 567 | * OnlySaneMan: Has to keep her sister Fudo, her lover Colombe, and the rest of the du Chasteler family's hijinks under control. |
| 568 | * OppositesAttract: With her lover Colombe du Chasteler. She is a spiritual, quiet, humble shrine maiden with HiddenDepths. |
| 569 | * ThePaladin: Consecrated to the service of the Shinto deity Hachiman, the Protector of Warriors. Also forged and enchanted to embody the Seven Virtues of Bushido, which can superpower her spells and abilities. |
| 570 | * SilkHidingSteel: Polite, modest, humble, dutiful. A skilled warrior and exorcist who can fight Colombe toe-to-toe. |
| 571 | * SlapSlapKiss: The first time she met Colombe in 1864, they fought after Colombe called her out on her arrogance as 'Miko Punchable Face'. The second time they met in 2013, Toku was much wiser and humbler and won the rematch because she had mastered herself. Shortly afterward, they started regular sparring with each other, and their budding mutual respect and UnresolvedSexualTension finally resulted in a LoveEpiphany during ''A Union of Bread And Butter''. |

| 581 | The spirit of the Truman Masamune, kept in the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library in Missouri |
| 582 | ---- |
| 583 | * TheAtoner: Volunteered herself for hostage duties in part because of her actions decapitating Chinese prsioners during the Rape of Nanking. |
| 584 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: She participated in the magical equivalent of the "Kill 100 People with a Sword" contest, but even she objected to a systematic slaughter of civilians to draw out enemy combatants. |
| 585 | * GoingNative: When she left Japan in 1945, she was a classically Japanese lady. In 2014, her avatar has shifted to a blond-haired blue eyed American girl who looks like President Truman's daughter. |
| 586 | * GraveMarkingScene: Has placed CherryBlossoms on President Truman's grave on the date of Japan's surrender and his death every year since 1972 to honor him. |
| 587 | * IGaveMyWord: Truman swore an oath to keep the terms of her captivity secret (to avoid further humiliation and bad feelings) and to refrain from using her abilities or fighting as a willing hostage. This provoked an argument when Musashi in 1954 unknowingly challenged her for a spar before offering to take her home. Truman refused. |
| 588 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: Because Independence, Missouri being somewhat out of the way, Truman has been rather out of touch with the magical world, to the point of not even being aware that the Statute is on the brink of collapsing. |
| 589 | * MyMasterRightOrWrong: The reason she still participated in the above slaughter. |
| 590 | * RetiredBadass: One of the more powerful Masamunes, now working as a gardener with her true body locked in a warded display case. |
| 591 | * ShockAndAwe: One of her primary powers is the generation and manipulation of lightning, from direct attacks to injure enemies to chains to bind them in place for a coup de grace. |
| 592 | * SuperSpeed: While many of the Muramasas and Masamunes can move at speeds faster than the eye can see, Kamo/Truman is able to keep pace with lightning. |
| 593 | * TakeMeInstead: As part of the surrender terms, MACUSA demanded one of the four most powerful Masamune blades as a hostage. Kotegiri was symbolically the Emperor's blade and would have humiliated Japan, Honjo vanished and was unavailable. Truman sacrificed her freedom so Musashi would be free to follow their shared Master's teachings. |
| 594 | * YouAreAlreadyDead: Nails the sadistic TOTEM researcher Ness before she has a chance to fight back. |
| 595 | --> Her very last threads of patience and decorum finally snapped and Ness went for her wand. Her augments activated and accelerated her thought processes, making it seem as if the world around her had slowed down while she moved at regular speed. This way, she could be made aware of everything that the curator did-\ |
| 596 | Which was simply standing up, a small click echoing as the blade slide neatly into the scabbard. "You're fast...but not as fast as lightning."\ |
| 597 | "Huh?" Ness blinked when the world suddenly spun around her and her eyes widened at the sight of her own body…[[OffWithHisHead missing a head]]. The curator grabbed the hair to hold it up while the body slumped and fell, the cut thoroughly cauterized so as to not dribble blood everywhere. That would make cleanup in the shadows much easier.

| 611 | [[caption-width-right:350:Masamune of Peerless Knowledge]] |
| 612 | The Masamune of Peerless Knowledge. Forged by a student of the Masamune school in the late Kamakura Period, she originally belonged to the Shimazu clan of Kyushu until the death of her master, Shimazu Toyohisa at Sekigahara during the Sengoku Jidai. Gifted to the Sugihara family during the Meiji Restoration, she became Kamo’s Head Researcher during the Pacific War. She was at Nagasaki experimenting on a time rift before the atomic bomb detonated while she was doing a ritual on it, which sent her 50 years into the future, to 1995. Her true self is now on display in the Kyoto National Museum and she did research for the Chrysanthemum Throne, trying to find out as much as possible about the Abyssals before Blood Week and was instrumental in figuring out the Kanmusu Summoning Ritual and the Awakening of Natural-borns. She is also the main story writer for Masked Cover, writing the story for the [=MuraMasamune=] Chronicles. |
| 613 | ---- |
| 614 | * AccidentalTimeTravel: Was flung 50 years into the future from 1945 to 1995. |
| 615 | * AdmiringTheAbomination: Downplayed. Shimazu loathes necromancy in general, but even she found [[Anime/ZombieLandSaga Franchouchou]] to be extremely impressive due to how self-sufficient Kotaro made them. |
| 616 | * TheAgeless: As the tsukumogami of her katana, she is functionally immortal. |
| 617 | * TheAtoner: Is working to make up for her crimes during the Pacific War. |
| 618 | * BadassBookworm: Although she downplays it, she is one of the top magical theorists in the world and surprisingly good in a fight, especially if allowed to cast spells unhindered. |
| 619 | * CoolAunt: To Kaya and the Sugihara clan, who have often looked up to Shimazu as their "aunt" of sorts. |
| 620 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Her research was what allowed Magical Japan to field horrors like mass-produced Gashadokuro and forced reincarnation. |
| 621 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: She went from being in war-torn Japan in 1945 to the modern country that it is in 1995. [[https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/harry-and-the-shipgirls-prisoner-of-shipping-a-hp-kancolle-snippet-collection.54158/page-1637?post=25412454#post-25412454 Reset Game]] illustrates just how much of a learning curve she had to deal with about the times she ended up in. |
| 622 | * FlashbackEcho: Shimazu suffers this a lot, where events in the present make her think of the past. |
| 623 | * GamerChick: Became a massive fan of video games, specifically Final Fantasy XI during 2006 and was caught by Kaya playing it. She would eventually go on to become the main writer for [=MuraMasamune=] Chronicles. |
| 624 | * GoneToTheFuture: Was experimenting with a time rift in Hiroshima when the atomic bomb was dropped in 1945. The next thing she knew, she was in 1995, fifty years in the future. |
| 625 | * HistoricalDomainCharacter: She’s based of the actual [[https://www.japanbullet.com/sport/authenticity-confirmed-for-long-lost-shimazu-masamune-sword/ Shimazu Masamune sword]]. |
| 626 | * HotTeacher: Her avatar is quite the looker, as Ian Potter can attest to. She's also teaching Sugihara Kaya. |
| 627 | * MyGreatestFailure: Twice in fact. First, she was unable to save her beloved master Shimazu Toyohisa at the Battle of Sekigahara. Then in 1942 she lost the bulk of her new family in the Dolittle Raid and as a result threw her support as a mage and researcher to the Kamo Government of Magical Japan. |
| 628 | * TheRedMage: Knows magic from several different cultures. Known ones are onmyoji, Western magic and Hindu magic. |
| 629 | * TheSmartGuy: As a top tier magical theorist trained by a [[TricksterMentor disciple of Abe no Seimei]] and the Masamune who knows the most non-Japanese magic, along with her unique enchantments and obsession witht he Art, Shimazu is the Masamune that gets tapped for problem-solving, such as deciphering the mysteries of the Abyssals and Shipgirls on Kotegiri's orders. |

| 634 | ---- |
| 635 | * CardCarryingVillain: Not openly, but internally she holds no illusions as to her role in the story. She also recognizes that [[AtLeastIAdmitIt holding no illusions]] [[SubvertedTrope does not make her]] morally superior to other villains. |
| 636 | * CrazyPrepared: Mushin has crafted a whole new face for her identity as Kyomu. She also obliviates everyone who leaves her services to ensure that they can't lead anyone back to her. |
| 637 | * TheDogWasTheMastermind: Kotegiri has been trying to hunt Kyomu down for years. She has never suspected Mushin. |
| 638 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite being the 'villain' of the family, cares deeply for her sisters, and also views Claire du Chasteler as a very good friend. |
| 639 | * GoodNeedsEvil: Subscribes to an extreme form of this ideology that serves as one of her root motivations. Evil is necessary for good to fight against and to define itself against. Therefore, she acts as the villain to give heroes something to battle against. |
| 640 | * KeepingSecretsSucks: Privately laments that her double life prevents her from spending time with her family. |
| 641 | * MeaningfulName: The name of Mushin's alter ego, Kyomu, literally means void. Her near-paranoid covering anything that could reveal her identity means that a void is literally all people like Kotegiri have when it comes to her identity. |
| 642 | * PragmaticVillainy: Mushin avoids acting when events become too chaotic, since it runs the risk of derailing her existing schemes. |

| 648 | |
| 649 | * AnimateInanimateObject: As tsukumogami, they generate an avatar after a century of age. Their real bodies are their highly enchanted weapons. |
| 650 | * BadassFamily: All of them are incredibly competent and lethal combatants. |
| 651 | * BigScrewedUpFamily: Often described as a herd of cats. |
| 652 | * BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: All of them are masterpiece weapons. |
| 653 | * FeudingFamilies: With the Masamunes. |
| 654 | * MasterSwordsman: Being the spirits of their weapons, it comes with the territory. |
| 655 | * OnlyTheChosenMayWield: Unlike the Masamunes, the Muramasas are all high-ceiling/low-floor insofar that in order to master the weapon (and not have the weapon master you), the user ''must'' be able to handle the Muramasa's SuperpoweredEvilSide (Juuchi and Chisuheri's bloodlust, Akutoku's undermining self-contol, Kagotsuruhe's aura of fear, etc.) since their powers also hit the wielder too. This has impacted their avatars ''significantly'' depending on whether or not they had owners who could demonstrate the mastery of self for the avatar to build a personality from before their full manifestation at 100 years of age. |
| 656 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Crafted in the 1500s. Look like adults in their 20s and 30s. |
| 657 | * SiblingRivalry: Hoo boy do they have serious squabbling. |
| 658 | * SuperpoweredEvilSide: All of them have a powerful dark side, generally associated with bloodlust and/or madness in some form -- although the specifics vary between each Muramasa. This also applies to their 'child blades' through Norimune and Kyoshu such as Colombe, Ehren, Claire, Mika, Delilah, and Kenshou. |
| 659 | * {{Troll}}: All of them, along with massive amounts of smugness. |
| 660 | * WeirdnessMagnet: While some are more frequent offenders than others, all Muramasas have a tendency to find themsleves tangled up in ridiculous and chaotic situations. References to [[FanNickname Dumpsterfires]] have been made by both readers and in-story characters. |

| 702 | The Sword of Hopelessness, katana. The most terrifying and darkly aspected of all the Muramasas. |
| 703 | ---- |
| 704 | * BadPowersGoodPeople: Crafted from every dark, unholy, and blasphemous reageant that Muramasa could get his hands on to create soul-shattering fear and terror. Well adjusted, stable, self-controlled, and a rather nice person...for certain values of a person. |
| 705 | * CreepyGood: Thanks to a long line of mentally stable and morally just wielders and role models in the Urabe Clan is a reasonably nice person within her limits. Does not change the fact that she can be terrifying without trying. |
| 706 | * TheDreaded: Able to literally kill with fear or drive people insane with the terror that she generates with her powers. For obvious reasons also has a undeserved bad reputation in the magical community. |
| 707 | %%* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette |
| 708 | * EmotionlessGirl: Is literally incapable of feeling emotions. Any cases that seem to indicate otherwise are just her mimicking how she has seen others act. |
| 709 | * TheFettered: Her sheath is in fact a seal on her powers. Even drawing her blade an inch causes frost to form, the temperature to plummet, and [[MindRape the focus of her attention to suffer his worst fears and nightmares brought to life]]. Drawing her further exponentially ramps the power up and makes her fear powers hit everyone around her. |
| 710 | * GoMadFromTheRevelation: Judging from the mad screams of terror emitted by the man who ordered Nameless to be tortured and then watching hungry Dementors flee madly from the sight of her, very much yes. |
| 711 | * HorrifyingTheHorror: Was able to literally scare the [[EldritchAbomination Dementors]] guarding Hogwarts so badly they defecated when she visited during Third Year. |
| 712 | * HumanoidAbomination: To date, no one has seen her avatar's true form and had their sanity intact afterward. It even terrifies Dementors. The Kago everyone interacts with is a mask over something ''far'' more alien. |

| 714 | * SociopathicHero: Literally a sociopath and also one of the good guys who acts as the ultimate person to break up family fights. |
| 715 | * TearJerker: The death of the last member of the Urabe Clan in her arms. She was unable to weep for him, and is trying to obey his last dying order to "find a way to smile for yourself, Aunt Kago".

| 722 | * AbsurdlySharpBlade: Has many of the same sharpness enchantments as Juuchi Yosamu and Umitsubame, which make him surprisingly deadly. |
| 723 | * BadassFamily: Two in fact. His 'birth family' of the Muramasas and Harry Potter's family, after Juuchi gave him as a Christmas gift to Harry. |
| 724 | * BerserkButton: Masamunes and Buddhists who imprisoned him to try to purge his evil in the 1800s. |
| 725 | * ChefOfIron: While not a weapon of combat, he is quite capable in a fight. Filleting fish is little different than filleting attackers of his kitchen. |
| 726 | * CombatPragmatist: He doesn't have toe combat skill of his siblings, so he has to improvise in the most direct manner. |
| 727 | * DeadpanSnarker: Sarcastic and acerbic to his sisters and others who do not have his respect. |
| 728 | * {{Expy}}: Of [[Anime/YuYuHakusho Yusuke Urameshi.]] |
| 729 | * FriendToAllChildren: However, to those in need such as the Akizuki sisters and hungry children, he is a total softie. |
| 730 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Snarky, sarcastic, and put-upon, but a good person deep down with serious respect for fellow cooks and people who enjoy his cooking. |
| 731 | * SupremeChef: As one might expect from a chef who has been practicing his trade for four centuries. One of the happiest days in his long life was discovering that the Potters collected many cookbooks for non-Japanese cuisine. |
| 732 | * WeaponizedTeleportation: As a set of a dozen cooking knives, can shift his avatar around from blade to blade in a fight or generate multiple avatars. |

| 740 | |
| 741 | The Sword of Faded Memories, katana. Her power is memory manipulation. "''Mou, it is?''" |
| 742 | ---- |
| 743 | * AmnesiacResonance: Has forgotten how to fight and use her memory manipulation powers normally, but her combat reflexes can reeemerge under stress. |
| 744 | * AmnesiacsAreInnocent: Her post World War Two personality is that of an amnesiac young child in an adult body. |
| 745 | * AmnesiacVillainJoinsTheHeroes: Before World War Two, she was the tormentor of her sisters. Afterward, she is effectively their ward. |
| 746 | * BeyondTheImpossible: How her memory manipulation powers worked. While the dead and full kami were immune, she could cause anyone to forget anything in their memory, implant false memories, or cause anyone to forget that her victim even ''existed''. She could also shift her blade to insubstantial or a form that resisted getting cut by Juuchi. |
| 747 | * CatchPhrase: "Mou" when her short term memory buffer overflows and resets, "If I find the Mizuchi I get a prize!" is a RunningGag formed whens he met her sister Juuchi. Also known as 'The Sword of Goldfish Memory' to her sisters. |
| 748 | ** Someone swearing [[CoverInnocentEyesAndEars while Kensho is visiting]] will cause Kyoshu to say "Umitsubame! Umitsubame! [Name] said the bad word!" Usually Akutoku's fault. |
| 749 | * CoverInnocentEyesAndEars: Will instantly cover Kensho's ears if Akutoku swears while the kogatana is visiting. |
| 750 | --> '''Kyoshu:''' [[LampshadeHanging "Umitsubame, Umitsubame, Akutoku said the bad word!"]] |
| 751 | * DeathOfPersonality: WordOfGod has stated that the Kyoshu from before World War II is gone forever. [[AlphaBitch Considering what]] [[TheSociopath she was like]], this is probably a good thing. |
| 752 | * DirtyCoward: Not afraid to run away from a fight that she looked to be losing in her original state. |
| 753 | * {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder Okita Alter.]] |
| 754 | * FateWorseThanDeath: In the one scene we have hinting at what happened to her during World War Two, she is restrained, unable to talk, and reduced to silently begging for the viewpoint character to shoot her to put her out of her misery as she is wheeled in for another [[ColdBloodedTorture 'test']] of her memory powers. |
| 755 | * ForgetfulJones: As long as she is performing an action, she can stay more or less on track. The moment she is distracted, her memory 'resets' and she starts over from scratch (for example an attempt to style the hair of her grandniece Ying staretd with a French braid, then cornrows, then floofing it, and finally odango hair buns). Likewise, it is a total crap shoot if any memory will be uploaded into long-term storage, and how it will come out if it does. |
| 756 | * ForgivenButNotForgotten: Her family has accepted that the person in her body now is not the same as the AlphaBitch who tormented them for centuries. They also keep a constant eye on her just in case her evil past personality looks to be reemerging. |
| 757 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Nameless who also suffered from the abuse of her powers. |
| 758 | * ImpossiblyTackyClothes: What you get when someone with severe memory issues dresses herself. Nothing matches. ''Nothing''. |
| 759 | * LaserGuidedKarma: Her constant tormenting of Fudo forced the Masamune blade to develop a spell that would allow her to be imprisoned by nullifying her phasing power. Then Fudo shared it with the Japanese mages of Sub-Unit 942 who claimed to be looking into ways to reverse Kyoshu's effects. Which they were in part to weaponize her abilities to control memory after [[SuicidalOverconfidence she volunteered to work with them]]. Because she had also tormented her sisters for centuries, no one came to rescue her for almost a decade. |
| 760 | * ManipulativeBastard: The former incarnation of Kyoshu delighted in tormenting her sisters and the Masamunes by targeting those around them such as owners, loved ones, and allies. |
| 761 | * PlayingWithPuppets: Her former evil persona's M.O. In her final fight with Fudo in 1923, she caused the bodyguard mages to forget how to breathe, and was planning to turn the wife of Fudo's owner into a gloating message for Fudo ''who would then cut her own throat'' with a post-hypnotic command. Fudo interrupted Kyoshu, so that the victim ''only'' forgot her husband and sons. |
| 762 | * ScatterbrainedSenior: While her avatar is in her 20s, the rest of this trope applies. She is very old and her amnesia makes it near-impossible to transfer memories into long-term storage. Any distraction or pause in a string of actions causes her to 'reset' and start over again. She also has severe comprehension issues which resulted in her badly misreading that Juuchi wanted to kill her as opposed to a 'friendly duel'. |
| 763 | * SiblingRivalry: Her motivation for tormenting her sisters. Being surpassed by other later swords such as Juuchi Yosamu caused her to want to tear all the competition down to build herself back up into [[DaddysLittleVillain the greatest of the magical swords of Japan]]. |
| 764 | * TraumaInducedAmnesia: Whatever happened to her while in the clutches of Sub-Unit 942 during the Second World War totally destroyed her memory. It is to date unknown whether they inflicted it upon her, or she inflicted amnesia upon herself in an attempt to escape the horrors that she was subjected to. What is known that even Kyoshu in all her past cruelty did not deserve what was done to her. |
| 765 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: An informational snippet depicted a series of quotes from her life, revealing her descent from a person who, other than a lack of forgetfulness, was almost identical to her modern self into the monster she was by the start of World War II. |

| 774 | |
| 775 | Father of Colombe d'Aubigny du Chasteler, Jacklyn Fox, and Delilah de Breuil. |
| 776 | ---- |
| 777 | * BlessedWithSuck: Her unique magical power lets her [[WindsOfDestinyChange force the best positive luck for a time, but she must suffer an equal amount of negative luck to build her positive balance back up]]. Also if she goes too long without conflict in her life, her bad luck turns on herself. |
| 778 | * CombatPragmatist: As one might expect with her experiences, Norimune believes that fair fights are for suckers. Seen when she bear maced Tsukiakari. |
| 779 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Hoo boy. Norimune has had a very rough time of her life indeed. |
| 780 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: The good news for Norimune is that TheMasquerade is failing and her actual heroism will soon come to light, her daughters have tracked her down to establish tentative reconciliation with her, she has met her grandchildren, and there are hints that the spirits of her beloved pirate ships may soon be summoned. [[spoiler: Plus the spirit of her great first love Julie d'Aubigny is waiting for her as a fellow Servant of Hachiman in [[{{Heaven}} Takamagahara]] which she can visit as a kami. As well, her role in stopping Verdun will be recognized.]] |
| 781 | * FromBadToWorse: Rejected by the priests of Hachiman, passed through a variety of users with no firm attachments like a bad penny, get picked on by Kyoshu, decide to leave Japan to see the world as a mercenary, meet the great love of your life only to have her die unexpectedly while you are on campaign, have your prized and beloved enchanted pirate ship get stolen and then get sunk in your attemt to reclaim her, have the [[AncientConspiracy International Confederation of Wizards]] write your heroic deeds out of history to preserve TheMasquerade, incorrectly think that the mother of your youngest child had betrayed you so you flee her before finding out that she is pregnant, get blackmailed into fighting for Imperial Japan in World War Two, get imprisoned for being a war criminal, and finally when your daughters show up, one of them wants to [[CallingTheOldManOut beat you up for dishonoring her mother]]. |
| 782 | * IronWoobie: Despite the multiple kicks to her over the centuries, will still do the right thing under protest. |
| 783 | * TheLostLenore: No less than ''three''. Julie d'Aubigny was one of the great loves of her life, and Julie's death emotionally shattered her. She also had a deep love for her enchanted pirate ship ''Impenitent'' which was sunk at Trafalgar grappled to her replacement ship ''Lex Talonis''. Finally, she had a messy break-up with Delilah's mother Jezabel de Breuil when she thought that she had been betrayed by misunderstanding a conversation Jez was having with her father. |
| 784 | * JadeColoredGlasses: All her shattered hopes, betrayals, and failures real and perceived have welded these to her face. |
| 785 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Bitter, cynical, acerbic, and vulgar, but under all the scars and pain she is still a hero. |
| 786 | * LittleBitBeastly: Thanks to one of her first owners being a Kitsune, her avatar manifests with fox ears and tail. |
| 787 | * ThePaladin: Like her [[{{Foil}} old rival Tokunotakai and her eldest daughter Colombe]], Norimune is consecrated to Hachiman as one of his Blades who serve as an independant troubleshooter. |
| 788 | * NoodleIncident: Her entire life has been a string of these. |
| 789 | * ParentalAbandonment: Has the bad habit of not realizing that sleeping with other women when her oversized blade is unsheathed results in pregnancies for them. No less than ''three'' times, although in Norimune's defense Julie died in childbirth, and Sally Gray was in prison as a pirate when Jacklyn was born. Thus still does not excuse her burning Jezabel's letters unopened that would have told her about Delilah. |
| 790 | * RetiredBadass: After narrowly escaping execution for war crimes after World War Two, Norimune has laid low after getting out of prison. The arrival of her daughters has started to pull her out of her shell, though. |
| 791 | * ShellShockedVeteran: Has fought in battles from the UsefulNotes/SengokuPeriod to UsefulNotes/WorldWarTwo and the scars run very deep. |
| 792 | * {{Tsundere}}: A particularly grumpy and jaded version of one. This attitude was established as a defense mechanism after one too many traumas in her life. |
| 793 | * TheUnfavorite: Rejected for her size and ostentatious decorations by the priests of Hachiman although ''not'' by the deity. Thinks of herself as a failure of Muramasa's swordsmithing, although her creator is actually very proud of what she has done. |
| 794 | * WalkingTheEarth: Spent almost four centuries doing this. The only continents that she has not spent time in are Australia and Antartica. This caused Colombe no end of problems trying to trace her trail. |
| 795 | * VitriolicBestBuddies: With Akutoku who punches her buttons and in turn allows Norimune to blow off steam by fighting someone who can take it. |

| 804 | * LetsGetDangerous: Suisei is quiet, sweet, nice, and the winner of the 'most times anyone has stabbed Kyoshu to protect their loved ones' competition when she stabbed the now-amnesiac Kyoshu ''37 times'' before being physically dragged off her by Umitsubame and Chisuheri. |

| 821 | * NoNudityTaboo: Spending a decade on a deserted island, with nothing but the occasional rain shower to serve as a poor man's substitute, meant that modesty took a backseat to being able to get some semblance of cleanliness. |

| 827 | * AnArmAndALeg: Eric had his right arm injured during the initial Abyssal attack on the ship that he, Samantha, Sora, and Yumiko were on. While Samantha and Yumiko had fairies that could have healed him, [[AdultsAreUseless none of the adults trusted the shipgirls or their fairies enough to let them do so.]] Eventually, because the bandages for Eric's arm had kept being washed in salt water, the arm became so badly infected that it had to be amputated. |

| 839 | A kitsune and Eric and Samantha's ChildhoodFriend. Also the natural-born Super Yamato Izu [[spoiler: formerly Onogoroshima.]] |
| 840 | ---- |
| 841 | * EmergencyTransformation: Sora awakening as a ship that was only about 60% complete certainly qualifies. Her cannons hadn't even been secured properly, meaning every time she fired a shot, she damaged the mountings and caused severe internal damage. What's more, until she was able to consume enough metal to create some boilers, she had to use her own heart to power a shipgirl's rigging. [[spoiler: After being fully built by Ume and Sakura, all of these drawbacks have been ironed out.]] |
| 842 | * {{Expy}}: A kitsune with brown fur, who had health problems for a while...hello there, [[VideoGame/AzurLane Amagi]]. |

[[spoiler: Ultimately subverted, as just before being fully built, Sora made sure to let Hinata know that she wouldn't mind one more member in the relationship.]] |
| 857 | * PowerPerversionPotential: Being a Jorogumo, Hinata can use two different types of venom: Poison, and a very potent aphrodisiac. [[spoiler:One Halloween had her 'kidnap' Sora and Eric, take them to a secluded location, and use the latter type of venom for some adult fun.]] |

| 965 | ---- |
| 966 | * BadassBureaucrat: The man is ancient by muggle standards, but as the Deputy Undersecretary to the Legislative Assembly he holds a ''lot'' of power and influence. |
| 967 | * BeleagueredBureaucrat: Considering that the Civil Servants with principals were the first to jump ship for Kyoto, and the intelligent ones [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere did the same as Tokyo suffered one scandal after the next]], Shigeru and his daughter Naomi are definitely this when the ones both to corrupt and to stupid to see the signs keep making it easy to make the Tokyo Diet collapse in fire. |
| 968 | * DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: Shigeru was a young junior paper pusher in 1945, [[YouHaveFailedMe the last time Kotegiri visited the Magical Civil Service]]. In the modern day, she visits again after reading about [[FantasticGhetto the current state of the Yokai Reserves]]... And has an absolutely pleasant chat with him about how well he and his daughter have been doing. |

| 970 | * RedBaron: Called "The Spider" by his fellow civil servants, thanks to his age and his many fingers in many pies, and the webs on intrigue he spins. |

| 1013 | Thanks to a Magical Japanese project during World War II pioneered by Masamune-no-Shimazu, several of the legendary heroes and villains of Japan, especially from the Sengoku Jidai were reincarnated with their memories returning during adolescence. |
| 1014 | |
| 1015 | * HistoricalDomainCharacter: Of some of Japan's greatest generals, swordsmen, and heroes. |
| 1016 | * PastLifeMemories: Thanks to the meddling they awaken with their full memories, personalities, and mental skills, and can easily regain their physical skills with suitable training. |
| 1017 | * ReincarnationRomance: In many cases, they also return with unfinished business in this 'second chance' that they have now gotten. |

| 1024 | One of Harry's classmates. [[spoiler: Also the reincarnation of UsefulNotes/OdaNobunaga]]. |
| 1025 | ---- |
| 1026 | * CatchPhrase: "Can't be helped!"[[note]]Oda Nobunaga's response to his defeat at ''Mikatagahara'', after hearing just how badly he had been routed, had been to laugh and say "Even monkeys fall from trees! Can't be helped!" to tell his allies that there was no point in dwelling on the past.[[/note]] |
| 1027 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Typically acts like a class clown. But if her temper is aroused, she is perfectly capable of showing how she once was known as [[spoiler: [[DemonKingNobunaga The Demon King of the Sixth Heaven.]]]] |
| 1028 | * {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder Demon Archer.]] |
| 1029 | * HistoricalHeroUpgrade: Was a divine champion of Amaterasu herself in her previous life. |
| 1030 | * LargeHam: Nobu's normal personality, one she cultivated back when she was known as the Fool of Owari. |
| 1031 | * LetsGetDangerous: Nobu had one thing to say to Harry when they found out that the Sub-Unit 942 bunker they were trapped in had been messing with the pelt of Tamamo-no-Mae, the bones of Momiji, the horn of Otakemaru, and even a fragment of bone from the Yamata no Orochi. |
| 1032 | --> Reaching up, the former Warlord lowered the brim of her everpresent hat and snarled, her eyes alight with pure rage and loathing, "Send out your patronus and let them know what is happening. If someone is active here, we are going to send them to Mugen Jigoku before this gets out of hand. This ends ''now''. |
| 1033 | * TheLostLenore: Kitsuno, Oda Nobunaga's wife in all but marriage during the Sengoku Jidai. [[spoiler:Recently regained, as Kitsuno's reincarnation, Mōri Kiku, has been reunited with Kotegiri and Nobu.]] |
| 1034 | * PreMortemOneLiner: At the end of her fight with the undead Mitsuhide after using her brain to [[KillItWithFire outmaneuver and cripple him]]. |
| 1035 | -->Nobu-chan staggered to her feet while Mitsuhide screamed in agony as he burned alive. |
| 1036 | |
| 1037 | -->"Invulnerable armor means nothing when you are covered in kasha blood, 'old friend'. It burns with the fires of Jigoku when ignited, after all, as a foretaste of the punishment awaiting the souls that they claim." Her voice was merciless and ruthless, filled with the legendary spirit that had smashed all opposition to her ambitions and put thousands to the sword. |
| 1038 | |
| 1039 | -->She grinned savagely as Mitsuhide's armor cracked and split from the heat as the paste shielding him burned to ashes. [[TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil "Now, Kote-chan, give him his traitor's reward! I command it!"]] |
| 1040 | * PrepareToDie: After being reunited with Masamune-No-Kotegiri, Nobu made sure that [[TheStarscream Mitsuhide Akechi]] knew his time was up during the Battle of the Bunker. |
| 1041 | -->'''Nobu:''' "''[[SarcasmMode Old Friend]]'', you betrayed me in my first life, not least by persuading me to send her away from my side to make me vulnerable to your treachery. Now we settle this between us three once and for all. For ''[[IronicEcho The Enemy is at Honnō-ji]]''." |
| 1042 | * ReincarnationRomance: Had a strong romantic bond with the avatar of Nobunaga's sword Masamune-no-Kotegiri and with his concubine Kitsuno. Kitsuno and Nobunaga are both reincarnated now. |

| 1049 | ---- |
| 1050 | * AggressiveSubmissive: Of the Abrasive type. Okita has a VitriolicBestBuddies relationship with Nobu, but whenever they take it to the bedroom, the reincarnated Shinsengumi ends up on the bottom. |
| 1051 | * {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder Sakura Saber]]. |
| 1052 | * {{Irony}}: Okita Souji and UsefulNotes/SakamotoRyoma were enemies in the Sengoku Era. Now that they've been reincarnated, Ryoma is Okita's older brother. |
| 1053 | * MasterSwordsman: Was a master in her previous life, and her skills have not waned at all in this one. |
| 1054 | * StraightMan: To Nobu and her chunni tendencies. |
| 1055 | * SweetTooth: Okita will gladly take sweets as payment for Kendo lessons. |

| 1062 | Classmate to the previous two. [[spoiler: Also the reincarnation of UsefulNotes/UesugiKenshin.]] |
| 1063 | ---- |
| 1064 | * {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder Lancer of Eight Flowers]]. |
| 1065 | * TheFettered: Constantly holds back her true strength, as whenever she went all out in her previous life, people who saw her fight called her a monster. |
| 1066 | * MasterSwordsman One of the best sword-wielders, ever, easily on par with Nobu and Okita. |
| 1067 | * TheStrategist: As per her previous life, is easily the most tactical-minded member of the group. |
| 1068 | * WorthyOpponent: Both ways with Takeda Shigen. Very much a case of TruthInTelevision since the two enormously respected each other. Here, they wish to settle who was best once and for all in a honorable duel. When Uesugi is forced to kill the undead Shigen before [[TheCorruption the control spells can reassert dominance]], she visibly mourns for him. |
| 1069 | -->Norimune watched the girl, clearly the reborn spirit of Kenshin, begin to weep only to be comforted by her friend and by Toku. She walked close and reached through the group hug of her to place a reassuring squeeze on Kenshin's shoulder. |
| 1070 | |
| 1071 | -->She paused and then spoke in a low voice as Chisuheri and Honjo joined them. "He died as he lived, in honor. Surely the Judges of the Underworld shall see that and weigh that against his sins." |
| 1072 | |

| 1076 | !Magical Girls |
| 1077 | One summer, a bored Harry Potter decided to prank Yokosuka Naval Base by magically animating a number of [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Kyubey]] plushies to ask random people to make contracts with them. Most were quickly rounded up and destroyed. Most, but not all. A few escaped and began making actual Magical Girl contracts, empowering a number of girls with massive power. |
| 1078 | * DeadlyUpgrade: A DownplayedTrope. Becoming a magical girl supercharges their magical ability at the cost of eventually burning it out, rendering them unable to use magic at all, if they don't receive [[BoxingLessonsforSuperman professional training]] to control their powers. |
| 1079 | * {{Expy}}: Several of the girls are based on characters from the expanded universe of Anime/{{PuellaMagiMadokaMagica}}. |
| 1080 | * {{Revenge}}: A distressingly common motivation for the girls to accept the contract. Most of them feel, based on the limited knowledge that they have, that the Wizarding World wronged them, and they see becoming a magical girl as a path for getting payback. |
| 1081 | [[folder: San Kagura]] |
| 1082 | The most powerful of the Northern Magical Girls and the most dangerous. |
| 1083 | ---- |
| 1084 | * AGodAmI: Very thoroughly believes that she is on her way to Godhood. [[spoiler: Almost becomes one when she awakens her shipgirl heritage.]] |
| 1085 | * BullyingADragon: Picks a fight with Masamune-no-Kotegiri. It doesn't end well for her. |
| 1086 | * GatlingGood: Her main power is to transform her arms into miniguns. |
| 1087 | * MoralEventHorizon: Crosses it when she proposes indiscriminately bombarding Yokohama to make a statement. |
| 1088 | * [[spoiler: OffWithHisHead: Her fate by way of Kotegiri's blade.]] |
| 1089 | * WorthyOpponent: Rika earns this status in San's eyes after managing to hurt her. |
