13->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HiroShimono (Japanese), Creator/AustinTindle (English)[[quoteright:157:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/satou_you.png]]
14An ordinary boy who gets roped into the Half-Priced Food Lovers Club by Sen after witnessing one supermarket brawl for half-priced lunch boxes.
15----
16* AccidentalPervert: Not that he doesn't have plenty of perverted thoughts as well - it's just that there's never any overlap between his fantasies and the numerous public situations he finds himself in.
17* BashBrothers: With Ren, which earns them the nickname Two Dogs from Orthros.
18* BloodKnight: Satou doesn't want to get easy bento by joining up with the Hounds, he wants to fight hard for it or else it doesn't taste good.
19* ButtMonkey: Mostly due to Ume. He gets slapped every single episode. He grows out of it by the end of the show... mostly.
20* CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest: Think? Yes. Act? No.
21* ChewingTheScenery: Not outwardly, but Satou's InternalMonologue tends to be rather... grandiose.
22* ChivalrousPervert: He is pervert but he has some limitations and ability to keep his urge in check.
23* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Looks and acts like an ordinary moron but can do extraordinary things when situations call for it.
24* EmbarrassingNickname: The Pervert, after he had to get to a supermarket in women's clothing to get there on time. ItsALongStory, [[{{Dissimile}} except not]] - an overzealous security guard made him strip and sought to AssShove him with a D Battery for asking to go to Shaga's room, forcing Satou to flee without his clothes.
25* FromNobodyToNightmare: Don't let [[EmbarrassingNickname his Nom De Guerre]] fool you - by the end of the series, he's pretty much become the most respected wolf in the show. And that's just the TwelveEpisodeAnime; he gets even more badass later on.
26* GagPenis: In episode 7 Ayame thinks he's using his as a rudder. [[spoiler:It's actually the arm from the Half-Pricing God's costume]].
27* ILetYouWin: [[spoiler:It's implied that he has been letting Ume slap him around the entire time. When she tries to lay another hand on him, he quickly grabs her hand before she reaches him, leaving her stunned.]]
28* IronButtMonkey: He escapes being burned in an incinerator with only a couple of bruises. And again in Episode 8, where he falls off a ''five-story building'' and lives. [[spoiler:Those bandages were even only for show (a prank that Ayame pulled on him); he's perfectly fine]].
29* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: When he learned in volume 11 that Sen was in love with Yuu but Yuu rejected her, he challenged him to a bento brawl, where he had to accept Sen's love if he lost. This counts as an example because Yō himself had feelings for Sen, and he still did all that (and beat Yuu) despite said feelings. Fortunately for him, Sen chooses him in the end, having learned from Ume what he had done for her.
30* MaleGaze: Comes with being the viewpoint character.
31* NaiveNewcomer: Initially. He grows out of it.
32* NakedPeopleAreFunny: So far, he's been stripped butt-naked four times (one by Ume, the others were accidents), and was burned naked in the incinerator when trying to save his clothes from getting thrown in.
33* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Doesn't matter if you didn't have a choice; go to the supermarket wearing women's clothing '''''just once''''', and you'll be forever branded as a freak or pervert. There were also ''other'' "[[RunningGag incidents]]" that helped make that brand stick.
34* TookALevelInBadass: He took several quickly.
35* UnwantedHarem: Despite his NomDeGuerre and his behaviour, he does manage to gain the attraction of a few girls in the series (Ayame, the elder Sawagi twin, Asebi and Sen). Volume 12 is actually a series of epilogues where he ends the series with different girls which are Ayame, Sen, Ume, Ran, Marika, and Kyou. So basically he end with readers choice of his harem!

38[[folder:Sen Yarizui (Ice Witch)]]
39->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MariyaIse (Japanese), Creator/TrinaNishimura (English)[[quoteright:193:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yarizui_sen.png]]
40The sole initial member of the Half Priced Food Lovers Club, she serves as Satou's guide through the world of half priced food brawls. Her turf is Hocky Mart on the east side.
41----
42* BeautifulDreamer: She resembles an adorable white kitten in slumber.
43* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She seems to have a strange thought process when it comes to food.
44* TheComicallySerious: She has her share of funny moments while keeping a straight face. The most memorable one is the time she read Hana's {{yaoi}} porn out loud in monotone.
45* CoolBigSis: Towards Satou and Hana she can be a very loving, kind and nurturing sister figure. [[spoiler:She also has an actual little sister]].
46* EmbarrassingNickname: "Ice Witch" comes from her trying to buy a Chu-Hi Ice (a vodka mixer) with her bento. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial Not that she was going to drink it.]]
47* EmotionlessGirl: Subverted -- she's not emotionless, just a very laid-back {{Cloudcuckoolander}} with severely SkewedPriorities.
48* HairColorDissonance: Is her hair supposed to be light blue or white?
49* KickChick: As one might expect from the resident LadyOfWar in a martial arts show, she's got a fighting style chiefly based around graceful, acrobatic, and devastating kicks.
50* LadyOfWar: What she turns into during the discount lunch rush - elegant, composed, and downright lethal. Her ''nom de guerre'' 'Ice Witch' may have a ridiculous origin, but it's very fitting.
51* MellowFellow: If it's not got anything to do with discount supermarket food (or anything else that fits her deeply SkewedPriorities), she's so peaceful, relaxed, and open-minded that she almost comes across as an EmotionlessGirl, alternating between comfortable contentment and mild curiosity.
52* NaiveNewcomer: In the prequel.
53* NoSocialSkills: Sen tends to be on the oblivious side. When Satou shows up after having been DraggedIntoDrag, her first thought is that male fashion has had some kind of paradigm shift.
54* ObliviouslyBeautiful: Sen tends to notice Satou checking her out, then make an extremely naive conclusion.
55-->"Is there something strange about my stretch routine?"
56* ProperTightsWithASkirt: She wears black tights with her school uniform.
57* ReiAyanamiExpy: A very serious and stoic young girl with short light bluish hair and reddish eyes. Unlike most of Rei's expies, though, she's not shy and repressed due to trauma or anything - she's just incredibly chill about anything other than [[SeriousBusiness bargain lunches]].
58* SoreLoser: Sen is really terrible at ''VideoGame/VirtuaFighter''. After losing three times in a row to Ayame, Ren, and then Satou, she responds by [[RageQuit chucking Satou's Sega Saturn out of the window]].
59* TheStoic: Her emotions never show in her face.
60* TsurimeEyes: Her sharp eyes represent her serious and composed personality.
61[[/folder]]

63[[folder:Hana Oshiroi]]
64->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AoiYuuki (Japanese), Creator/FeleciaAngelle (English)[[quoteright:209:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/oshiroi_hana.png]]
65A friend of Satou who also gets roped into the Half-Priced Food Lovers' Club by Sen along with Satou. A novelist whose specialty seems to be yaoi.
66----
67* ActionSurvivor: Oshiroi always sneaks in and grabs her preferred bento.
68* ChildhoodFriends: Has been friends with Ume since elementary school.
69* {{Nosebleed}}: With a certain fansubber making the ''[[GagSub perfect]]'' lines.
70-->([[ItMakesSenseInContext in a hospital with Sato covered in milk]]) ''This is fappable. ''Totally'' fappable. '''''[[MemeticMutation DO. WANT.]]'''
71* ScaryShinyGlasses: ''Whenever'' she gets into writing for her novel, which pretty much consists of "Saito" being raped.
72* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Episode 3, but it quickly fails.
73-->'''You''': ''What are you doing?''\
74'''Hana''': ''Nothing. Just making a text.''\
75'''You''': ''Liar. Why are you pointing the lens my way?''\
76'''Hana''': ''I'll only take five or so!''\
77'''You''': ''Five what!? That's not the issue here!''\
78'''Hana''': ''But only your crotch!''\
79'''You''': ''What the hell!?''
80* TerrifiedOfGerms: She seems to be this for other people - she doesn't want to use chopsticks to eat a bit from a meal that someone else is going to use more thoroughly right after, and she's constantly cleaning off Satou's hands whenever he happens to touch her.
81* TooKinkyToTorture: In episode 2, although it was really just a back massage.
82* YaoiFangirl: Her hobby is writing {{yaoi}} erotic novels. She's currently writing one involving Satou. Episode 9 says it has ''ten-thousand readers'' for the week she's on.

117One of [[ThoseTwoGuys those three bento brawlers]] who keep appearing to fight for the half-priced food.
118----
119* BuxomBeautyStandard: She's incredibly well-endowed, which is the reason why she's TheFaceless since all shots of her are MaleGaze shots of her chest, to illustrate how Satou only ever stares at her breasts and never at her face.
120* TheFaceless: Her face is never seen because of Satou's constantly [[BuxomBeautyStandard staring at her chest]] and [[MaleGaze so is the camera]].
121* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Satou (and, by the extension, fans) never learns her name, so her title comes from the color of her hair.
122* ThoseTwoGuys: With Monk and Goatee.
123
124* UnseenNoMore: In the BD/DVD version of episode 12 that we get to see her face for about a few seconds at around 16:00. In later appearance, she went back to being TheFaceless.

134* ButNotTooForeign: She's half-Italian.
135* CoolBigSis: Towards Satou.
136* EmbarrassingNickname: Hers comes from an incident where she felt asleep in Lake Park after eating her first Honor seal bento.
137* HeadTurningBeauty: Enough of one that she manages to [[DistractedByTheSexy distract guards]] at her school while they're chasing Satou [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill apparently out for his blood judging by the ballistic vests and assault rifles they were using]], just by popping in.
138* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: Very fond of this tactic.
139* GamerChick: She enjoys playing video games.
140* TheGlassesComeOff: When she gets serious.
141* MsFanservice: [[GorgeousGaijin Blue eyes, buxom, and blonde]] only add her attractive look and she doesn't shy away from teasing Satou.

143* TheTease: As Shaga and Satou are cousin and know each other since children, she likes to tease Buttmonkey Satou.

162
163The elder, long-haired one fell in love with Sen [[InLoveWithYourCarnage because she defeated Monarch]].
164----
165* AlternateCharacterReading: Their names sound alike but are written differently.
166* BloodKnight: [[spoiler:It's the reason that their treatment by the Club of Heracles, i.e. simply letting them walk up and take the bento without fighting for it, was as traumatic as it was for them.]]
167* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:Courtesy of the Club of Heracles.]]
168* CastingAShadow: Although they're unquestionably mundane, the anime plays their [[spoiler: shopping basket techniques]] this way.
169* CatchPhrase: The long-haired twin tends to say "indeed, likeā€¦"
170* CuteAndPsycho: The long-haired Kyo begins spouting [[TrashTalk rather mean-spirited banter]] whenever she 'gets serious', only to regret it later on and want to apologize. [[spoiler:Both sisters become the TranquilFury version of this when fighting as Orthros.]]
171* TheDreaded: As a DeconstructedCharacterArchetype. [[spoiler:Both are presented as virtually unstoppable. It eventually got to the point that everyone simply stopped fighting them all together because they were too strong. And for {{Blood Knight}}s like them, [[BreakTheCutie it's the worst thing to ever happen to them]].]]
172* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The long-haired elder is the foolish one, while the short-haired younger is the responsible one.
173* GoalInLife: They've wanted to be wolves since they were very, very little. [[spoiler: Which is why the Club of Heracles's refusal to let them fight utterly broke them.]]
174* IdenticalTwinIDTag: They're identical, except for one twin having long hair and the other short hair.
175* InLoveWithYourCarnage: A mild version; the long-haired twin has a crush on Sen for her fighting ability.

177* {{Malaproper}}: The elder constantly butchers common idioms, much to the younger's chagrin.
178* MeaningfulName: The younger sister's "Kyo" means "mirror". [[spoiler: Their nom de guerre is Orthros, a two-headed dog in Greek mythology that was defeated by Heracles.]]
179* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Meanwhile, as she points out herself, the elder sister's "Kyo" is also used in the word for "heart attack".
180* NotSoHarmlessVillain: They're introduced as quirky characters who seem to know a bit about the brawls but are too silly to be credible participants. They then proceed to [[CurbStompBattle curb stomp]] ''almost every single named wolf in the show'' during the course of one fight [[note]]the exceptions being Monarch, who they've already beaten, The Wizard, who's out of the country, and who would later curb stomp ''them'' when he returned, and Matsuba, who's retired[[/note]].
181* PolarOppositeTwins: The older in boisterous and out-spoken, the younger is quieter and more reserved.
182* CreepyTwins: Usually they're just quirky, but then [[spoiler:they show up to the fight and decide to speak in unison...]]
183* SignificantNameOverlap: A pair of identical twins with identical-sounding name (though written in different kanji) [[spoiler:and they form a near-unstoppable fighting duo who goes by the name Orthros.]]
184* SingleMindedTwins: [[spoiler:When fighting as Orthros.]]
185* StudentCouncilPresident: The long haired one is the President white the short-haired one is the vice president.
186* ThemeTwinNaming: The twins' names are different kanji, but both are read as Kyo.
187* {{Twincest}}: They often slept together and express affection to each other. Generally one-sided from the long-haired twin, though.
188* TwinThreesomeFantasy: Apparently the elder Kyo's fantasy. [[spoiler:It's unlikely to come true, since the twins eventually develop feelings for different guys; the elder for Yo and the younger for Ren.]]
189[[/folder]]

191[[folder:Asebi Inoue [[spoiler:(Reaper)]]]]
192->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyanaTaketatsu (Japanese), Creator/LindsaySeidel (English)

195----
196* AnimalMotifs: Between her black hair and incredibly contagious bad luck, it's no wonder she likes [[CatStereotype cats]].
197* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
198* CordonBleughChef: She makes a bento for Satou to eat. He finds it doesn't taste bad... but the individual pieces taste like ''absolutely not what they have any right to'' (like a piece of broccoli tasting incredibly sweet) and scares the hell out of him.
199* IronButtmonkey: Falls down multiple flights of stairs and emerges unharmed.
200* TheJinx
201** Ayame carries a ProtectiveCharm to...well, protect herself. Ayame initially warns Satou to avoid Asebi's touch, and when Satou asks why she let Asebi touch her Ayame pulls out the charm and it darkens when she puts her hand near it.
202** In episode 11, her playing in a garden and catching a butterfly is quickly accompanied by over 10 caterpillars going down their strands and falling to the ground dead.
203* ThePollyanna: Her first thought after her bed shatters, she almost loses a stuffed cat [[note]]It's head also falls off.[[/note]], and she falls out the window through several branches?
204--> '''Asebi:''' ''Ah, it's another beautiful day!''
205* RedBaron: Earns the title [[spoiler:"Reaper"]] when she is recognized as a shadowy force of destruction and chaos without actually participating in the battle.
206[[/folder]]
207
208[[folder:Tadaaki Endo (Monarch)]]
209->Voiced by: Creator/HirokiYasumoto (Japanese), Chris Rager (English)
210[[quoteright:220:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/monarch_6.png]]

212----
213* EvilSoundsDeep: He has a powerful and deep voice, and is a villain.
214* ImprobableWeaponUser: He's seen swinging a shopping cart around like a club. One handed, to boot.
215* RevengeByProxy: He's unhappy about Matsuba's defeat by the Wizard, so he seeks to rewrite history by defeating the Wizard's successor, Yarizui.
216* TheWorfEffect: As of Episode 10, he's on the wrong end of this courtesy of Orthros.
217* WrongGenreSavvy: He tries to weaponize hunger, knowing it's a wolf's greatest asset in the brawls, by starving himself for a long period of time. Problem is, he tries to weaponize this in an effort to beat down an opponent, rather than actually go for the real prize (the bentos). As a result, it's not long before his hunger gets the better of him and he starts to slow down, making it easy for his enemies to take him down.

220!Retired/Other characters
221
222[[folder:Ume Shiraume]]

225----
226* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She has a calm and composed demeanor and has long black hair.

235* HairTriggerTemper: She goes from calm to extremely angry with minimal provocation.
236* HimeCut: She's an {{Ojou}} and ClassRepresentative with blunt bangs, bra strap length sidelocks, and mid-thigh length straight hair.
237* JerkassToOne: Though she's an AloofDarkHairedGirl, Ume can be a jerk to Satou due to his relationship with Hana, at least until volume 10.
238* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: After spending the entire series being a possessive lesbian, Ume finally gets defeated in a bento brawl in volume 10 and entrusts Hana's protection to Satou.

242* OhCrap: Happens to her when Satou blocks her punch and later when she gets overpowered the bento fight during volume 10.
243* {{Ojou}}: She comes from a wealthy family.
244* PetTheDog: Ume backs off the obsessiveness and acknowledges Hana and Yo joining the Half-price bento club.
245* PsychoLesbian: Ume wants to have Hana all to herself. She'll threaten and beat Satou whenever he gets near Hana.
246* RepetitiveName: '''Ume''' Shira'''ume'''
247* SatelliteCharacter: Being a ClingyJealousGirl for Hana is her defining character trait and she doesn't contribute anything to the series other than physically abusing Satou out of jealousy.
248* SelectiveObliviousness: Despite knowing Hana for so long, she seems to have no idea and can't believe it to be true when she hears her particular "[[YaoiFangirl tastes]]".
249* StalkerWithACrush: She's very obsessed with Hana and can go as far as to knock her unconscious and abduct her to keep her away from other people. Well, until the aftermath of her battle with the bento brawlers in volume 10 at least.
250* TheStoic: Most events don't impact her too much.
251* TookALevelInKindness: In volume 10, she gets easily defeated in a bento brawl and this forces her to admit Satou is the only one who can protect Hana. She still smacks Satou around, but for more legit reasons now.
252* TranquilFury: Every time she appears, she delivers a brutal, jealousy-fueled beating to Satou, all while keeping a stoic expression on her face.
253* TsurimeEyes: She has sharp eyes to highlight her possessive and violent character.
254* TheWorfEffect: In Volume 10, she gets easily defeated in a bento brawl trying to protect Hana.
255* {{Yandere}}: She doesn't want Hana to get friendly with anyone else. She regularly beats the crap out of Satou just because he ''talked'' to Hana.

261A veteran wolf who retired after she got married. She is now currently the God of Discounts for Ralph Mart.
262----
263* TheChessmaster: Despite her policy of not getting involved in the bento battles, she does a lot to actually set them up, [[spoiler: including inviting all of the Wolves to the same waterpark for a bento battle in a pool]].
264* BuxomBeautyStandard: She has a sizable bust that puts some of the other girls to shame. Played for laughs with her Omelettits recipe (which is boob shaped, as the name implies) and might have been inspired by her figure.
265* EyesAlwaysShut: Most of the time.
266* RetiredBadass: She retired from being a wolf once she got married.

268
269[[folder:Club of Heracles]]

271[[quoteright:224:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heracles.jpg]]
272A wolf from another town responsible for the downfall of Orthros three years ago. [[spoiler: Rather than beating the twins in a fight, he reasoned that they were so strong that they were disrupting the balance of the brawls. His solution to this was to simply let them walk up and take the bento they wanted, and then begin fighting after they left.]]
273----
274* BystanderSyndrome: He uses this to his advantage to drive Orthros away from the brawls.
275* TheCoatsAreOff: He does so after he realizes his plan won't work a second time. Complete with an "I'll Show You..." statement. [[spoiler: Subverted as he was on the very wrong side of a CurbStompBattle.]]
276* DirtyCoward: His underhanded shaming tactics against Orthros and [[spoiler: his swift defeat at the hands of Satou and friends]] make it clear that, for all his talk of maintaining the purity of the fights, he's little more than a bully who can't handle a little healthy competition.
277* FauxAffablyEvil: Each time he sees Orthros, he greets them warmly with a smile on his face before immediately switching to threats of violence.
278* HeroKiller: Subverted. He took down Orthros by refusing to fight them, rather than by defeating them, and can't really hold his own in the brawls.
279* TallPoppySyndrome: He uses a variation on the old "nail that sticks out" line regarding Orthros: "If a nail sticks out too far to be hammered down, you have to rip it out!" Satou [[ShutUpHannibal retorts]] that what you should really do is get a bigger hammer, or, in other words, become stronger.
280* VillainousBreakdown: His smug attitude dissolves once [[spoiler: Satou inspires the wolves to defy his plan.]]
