9	!!Corpse God / "Polka Shinoyama"
10	!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/YukiSakakihara (Japanese), Creator/MorganBerry (English, as Polka), William Ofoegbu (English, as the Corpse God)
11	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dead_mount_corpse.png]]
12
13	A necromancer from another world who in his final battle with the Calamity Crusher activates a [[ReincarnateInAnotherWorld reincarnation spell]] that sees him possessing the body of recently-killed high schooler Polka Shinoyama. Having escaped his world and the [[CorruptChurch Geldwood Religion]] that hunted him, he now pursues his ultimate goal: a peaceful life.
14	----
15	* AffectionateNickname: In the other world, those close to the Corpse God used an abbreviated version of his real name as a sign of affection and closeness. [[spoiler:Fram, his BestFriend, called Rizdilusia "Riz" for short.]]
16	* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's a decent person even though he's an undead. Mess with him or his friends and he will remind anyone who hurt them that he is a necromancer that puts his victims in a FateWorseThanDeath.
17	* BigBrotherInstinct: The Corpse God is protective of children, seeing them as precious and not wanting them to go through the same awful childhood he experienced at his father's hands. [[spoiler:After learning that the real Polka is his younger half-brother, the Corpse God becomes even more determined to keep his little brother Polka and his body safe.]]
18	* BlueAndOrangeMorality: While his morals generally track well with what is "right" and "wrong", the reasoning behind them is skewed due to his upbringing as a necromancer. He avoids killing both because he views life as precious due to seeing the dead and because he knows deaths will only cause him trouble down the road.
19	* BrainInAJar: What he was reduced to just before his reincarnation.
20	* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Easlies notes that Corpse God's greatest weakness is his selflessness, as he'll often help others even to his own detriment.
21	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Downplayed. Being a centuries-old necromancer who had become a BrainInAJar controlling a giant skeleton, many of the Corpse God's opinions and behavior come off as... odd, even for an [[ReincarnateInAnotherWorld otherworlder.]] He claims that the souls of people are like toys to him, but [[BlueAndOrangeMorality since toys are things that make children happy, they are precious and should be treated with care.]] [[ISeeDeadPeople He sometimes converses with and takes requests from lost souls out in the open,]] drinking fruit juice for the first time makes him cry TearsOfJoy due to how delicious it is, and he briefly considered opening a business to [[DidntThinkThisThrough openly practice necromancy as a part of his goal to have a "peaceful life"]] before [[OnlySaneMan Kuruya]] points out how crazy the idea is.
22	* ConMan: ZigZagged. He's working with Kuruya and Misaki as a diviner and fortuneteller and does classic hot and cold reading, but since he can see the souls of the dead, he actually ''can'' communicate with souls which makes his act all the more believable.
23	* DarkIsNotEvil: Necromancy was denounced as heresy by the Geldwood Religion in his old world and summoning humongous skeletons can look extremely scary, but the Corpse God is actually a genuinely nice person who wanted to be left alone and live in peace.
24	* TheFaceless: Flashbacks to his original, living body always have the upper half of his face obscured by a skull mask and hood, making it impossible to make out any of his features. [[spoiler:This was likely intended to hide any potential resemblance between him and Polka, as they're half-brothers.]]
25	* FishOutOfWater: Due to hailing from a fantasy setting, the Corpse God is frequently confused by things in modern-day Japan because of how different they are from his home. For instance, he's eager to obtain stones filled with magical power for the sake of performing rituals, but is aghast at the price tags. Stones that were commonplace back home are considered precious gems on Earth and can thus go for millions of yen.
26	* FriendToAllChildren: Corpse God has an enormous soft spot for children and will do everything in his power to keep them safe and even save their souls if they died before.
27	* GoodIsNotSoft: Corpse God prefers not to kill unless it's necessary. However, he's not above breaking an enemy's mind and body while leaving them alive in order to protect his peaceful life.
28	* MagicalEye: Possesses the Evil Eye which gives him the ability to see and hear the souls of the dead. Interestingly, he finds out that the ability seems to be tied to the soul rather than any physical attribute since he retains the ability after reincarnating. [[spoiler:Though this may actually be because Polka had this ability too. It later turns out that it extends to elemental spirits as well which is a known ability of his bloodline.]]
29	* ManchurianAgent: One of the Corpse God's biggest regrets during his time in the other world is being turned into one by his enemies. [[spoiler:During his resurrection, his spirit was tampered with so that his already great empathy would be overwhelmed by the hatred of those who depised the Empire, compelling him to kill his best friend, the emperor Fram.]]
30	* MundaneLuxury: He's overwhelmed with happiness after drinking orange juice for the first time, crying TearsOfJoy while wishing he could have shared it with all of his followers. Justified in that he'd never had anything like it before on top of being an undead lich made of nothing but bones until recently.
31	* {{Necromancer}}: The magic the accurately-named Corpse God mastered. He can summon skeletons, revive people as undead or even turn them into vampires with magic. He also can summon the souls of people that contracted with him.
32	* NiceGuy: Corpse God is deeply empathetic and will always do his best to help others. His deepest desire is to live a peaceful life in a land where children are happy.
33	* NobleDemon: Corpse God is a genuinely polite, well-mannered, and kind skeleton god monster to anyone that does not mess with him.
34	* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: After becoming undead, people of his world attacked him and tried to hunt him down just for being a 'monster'. The truth is that he always has been a genuinely NiceGuy that just wants to live peacefully with the people he cares about.
35	* OurLichesAreDifferent: After Corpse God [[spoiler:was assassinated by his father]], Easlies converted his brain into a phylactery to animate a human skeleton. During his hermitage, he replaced it with the massive construct that would fight Calamity Crusher.
36	* OurElvesareDifferent: As Ridzulisia Ridrazalf, Corpse God is an elf(or in his world, one of the people of the forest, the Ridrazalf family, who possess the elemental eye). It's noted that his father seduced his mother Kanon and then sold Riz specifically because he had this trait since the Ridrazalf's family was highly valued. There's not much that distinguishes him from normal humans beyond a very sympathetic personality, the ability to communicate and see the elementals of nature and white hair.
37	* ParentalAbandonment: His father sold him out to sorcerers. [[spoiler:As he later finds out, his abused mother fled to Earth eventually and married Rozan Shinoyama with whom she had Polka.]]
38	* PossessingADeadBody: His form of "reincarnation". He took over the body of a boy who had just gotten killed.
39	* PowerDyesYourHair: A minor case but the black streak in Polka's hair only appeared after the Corpse God entered his body, Polka's natural hair color is pure white.
40	* PracticallyDifferentGenerations: [[spoiler:Riz later learns that his mother Kanon fled to Earth and married Rozan Shinoyama. Their child, Polka, was 16 when Riz reincarnated in his half-brother's body, while Riz is several centuries old.]]
41	* ReincarnateInAnotherWorld: A "reverse Isekai" example, he escaped death in the fantasy world by coming to modern-day Japan.
42	* SkilledButNaive: The Corpse God is an incredibly skilled necromancer, but is noted to possess a child-like naivety. His first death came about when [[spoiler:he was lured away by his greedy, debt-ridden father and stabbed in the back.]]
43	* SoulJar: After [[spoiler:being assassinated]], the Corpse God's soul was bound to a phylactery containing his brain.
44	* TechnicalPacifist: Despite being called the god of death of his previous world, if you don't do something atrocious and personal to him like murdering his loved ones, he won't be interested in killing you. But sometimes [[FateWorseThanDeath you'd wish he does]].
45	* TranquilFury: When he finds out [[spoiler:Habaki sold his daughter to the Bastard Children of Sabaramond for personal gain]], he remains outwardly composed while asking Clarissa for permission to tear his soul apart.
46	* TheUnpronounceable: Corpse God goes by the name of the body he took over. When asked what his real name is, he mentions that his name is probably a mouthful for Japanese people and having two names would be confusing. It's later revealed that his name is [[spoiler:Rizdilusia "Riz" Redrazalf]].

49	[[folder:Misaki Sakimiya]]
50	!!Misaki Sakimiya
51	!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/InoriMinase (Japanese), Bree Han (English)
52	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dead_mount_misaki.png]]
53
54	Known as [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Zaki the Killer]], an assassin who specializes in taking out mobsters and other assassins. She killed the original Polka as part of a contract [[ItAmusedMe to see if she had it in her to kill a "good person"]] after completing a job where she killed the man who [[YouKilledMyFather butchered her family.]] When "Polka" miraculously comes back to life, she returns to finish the job, only to be killed and then raised as a zombie by the Corpse God, [[EasilyForgiven but because of how thrilling it was, she's okay with that.]]
55	----
56	* AttractiveZombie: Corpse God restores Misaki's body and revives her as a zombie after he accidentally kills her. Since she didn't suffer any unrestorable damage and doesn't rot, Misaki still retains her very attractive looks.
57	* CursedWithAwesome: How she views being a zombie. Sure, she's technically dead, and her senses are dulled making her easier to catch off guard, but she also has SuperStrength, paralyzing saliva, and a HealingFactor.
58	* CuteAndPsycho: Seems like a cute, nice, cheerful girl at first. She's also the assassin who killed the real Polka Shinoyama, and she tries to finish the job.
59	* FeelNoPain: After becoming undead, her sense of pain has dulled. She can still feel something, but that doesn't really stop her at all.
60	* FourEyesZeroSoul: Subverted. She's a SerialKiller who wears glasses. However, contrary to her initial belief, she does still have empathy left in her.
61	* HealingFactor: After turning into a zombie, most wounds that she receives heal without any issue. If she suffers a bigger wound, she can also [[FleshEatingZombie consume raw meat]]. [[spoiler:After Corpse God turns her into a vampire, Misaki's healing abilities increase dramatically. Getting bisected doesn't bother her at all.]]
62	* HitmanWithAHeart: Double subverted. Misaki initially only targets [[SerialKillerKiller other murderers]] until she wonders if she will feel bad about killing an innocent person like Polka. Seemingly being unfazed after killing Polka, she decides to kill herself. However, after being revived as a zombie, spending more time with "Polka" and learning that she was EasilyForgiven by the real Polka, Misaki realizes that she does feel sorry for killing him, so her morals haven't gone completely off the deep end yet.
63	* ItAmusedMe: Her reason for wanting to kill Polka in the first place: just to see if she felt it easy to kill "Good People" just as easily.
64	* MsFanservice: Especially early on, Misaki provides a lot of fanservice.
65	* NothingLeftToDoButDie: After killing the man who murdered her family and then her first innocent target, Misaki concluded she had fulfilled all of her life's ambitions. She then attempted suicide, reasoning that the only type of person she hadn't killed yet was herself.
66	* OurVampiresAreDifferent: [[spoiler:Eventually evolves into one thanks to the Corpse God. Unlike the classical vampires [[DaywalkingVampire she can walk in the sun]] and does not drink blood, but her saliva carries paralysis properties and [[OneToMillionToOne she can split her body into bats]] as her power grows.]]
67	* TheParalyzer: Misaki used to use a nail gun to immobilize her victims. After Corpse God turns her into a zombie, her saliva gains paralyzing properties.
68	* ParentalAbandonment: Misaki's parents were murdered in front of her by a serial killer. This deeply traumatized her and she decided to become one herself as a result.
69	* SerialKillerKiller: Prior to killing Polka, Misaki only killed other killers. However she never had any actual compunction against killing "good people", it's just she'd never taken the opportunity.
70	* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Misaki isn't embarrassed to strip down to her underwear or less in front of Corpse God, who always looks away in shame.
71	* SuperStrength: After being revived as a zombie, Misaki's physical strength drastically increased. Just one kick from Misaki sends Arase flying and he immediately remarks that her strength is unreal.
72	* VoodooZombie: Corpse God revived Misaki as a zombie with his necromancer powers.
73	* YouKilledMyFather: Before she targeted Polka and was subsequently killed by the Corpse God; she managed to finally track down the criminal responsible for killing her parents and got her vengeance on him. However, she states that she does it simply out of a perverse fascination with murder rather than for vengeance.

77	!!Takumi Kuruya
78	!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/YuumaUchida (Japanese), Brandon Acosta (English)
79	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dead_mount_takumi.png]]
80
81	A specialist in all things digital with a special fondness for drones, Takumi is one of Clarissa's subordinates who provides overwatch and intel gathering for jobs. After Clarissa agrees to help Corpse God, Takumi is assigned to help him get established. He previously worked for a loose criminal group called Sons of the Styx.
82
83	----
84	* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: Takumi was once a star of the tech world, founding a major software company at fourteen years old. However, this attracted attention from hostile actors who not only stole the company but also forced his parents to commit suicide. Takumi was intended to die with them, but escaped and found his way into the criminal underworld.
85	* OneWayVisor: Takumi is never shown without his camera visor because, if his old leader [[spoiler:Kuon Higuro]] is to be believed, he is terrified to take it off. The leader suggests that Takumi has a reality phobia and feels better viewing the world through a camera; that way, the world feels more like a video game.
86	* PlayfulHacker: He's a NEET who hacks multiple cameras to see what was going on outside of his place. He is also willing to accompany Corpse God in Modern-day Japan.
87	* OnlySaneMan: Often the one responsible for keeping [[CuteAndPsycho Misaki]] or [[ReincarnateInAnotherWorld The Corpse God]] from doing something crazy. In other words, he's the StraightMan.

94	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/polka_shinoyama_anime_profile.png]]
95
96	The real Polka Shinoyama, whose body the Corpse God is inhabiting.
97	----
98	* {{Chuunibyou}}: Turns out he's this which makes sense considering his age. [[spoiler: When the Corpse God talks to Rozan about making him a robot body so he can return Polka's, he instead insists he wants to be a robot instead since it's cooler.]]
99	* GrandTheftMe: While he's already dead at the start, the Corpse God managed to inhabit Polkas' body and reanimate it to serve as his vessel.
100	* InLoveWithYourCarnage: [[spoiler:Despite his own death having been caused by Misaki, he shows a sense of infatuation whenever he is around her.]]
101	* LivingToys: Polka's Soul was briefly moved by Corpse God into one of Takumis' aerial drones before being moved again into a patchwork shark doll where he currently resides inside of.
102	* MagicalEye: [[spoiler: Turns out to have the Evil Eye just like the Corpse God since they inherited the ability from their mother. Unlike the Corpse God he doesn't seem to to use it consciously and is mostly just afraid of ghosts as a result.]]
103	* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Polka is surprisingly okay with being murdered and having his soul stuffed into a toy. [[spoiler:After learning that Rozan is preparing a robot body for the Corpse God to inhabit, Polka angrily asks for said body while demanding a JetPack and rocket drills be added to it.]]
104	* MysticalWhiteHair: His real body has naturally white hair. [[spoiler:This alludes to his heritage as the Corpse God's half-brother, as their mother was a woman from another world who possessed the Evil Eye.]]
105	* PosthumousCharacter: He's just been murdered at the start.
106	* PracticallyDifferentGenerations:
107	** Polka is the child of Rozan's second wife, Kanon. The children of Rozan's first son with his first wife are all around the same age of their Uncle Polka.
108	** Polka is also this with [[spoiler:his half-brother Riz / Corpse God. Riz is several centuries old]].
109	* SlashedThroat: Seems to be what killed him.
110	* UnfazedEveryman: While he can't express himself freely since he is stuck inside of a toy most of the time, it's very clear that Polka is taking all the weirdness unusually well despite mostly being a normal teenager. Need I remind you that this includes, assassins, magic, other worlds and ''his own death and resurrection''. [[spoiler: It turns out he has always been like this since he didn't even blink when he caught Yumeji beat up a band of bullies and later grown adults when they were children and was more worried about him than the people bleeding on the floor. Considering Polka has the potential to be a mage like his brother though, it's arguable how much of an everyman he really is.]]

117
118	The patriarch of the Shinoyama clan and the head of the Shinoyama Financial Group.
119	----
120	* AbsurdlyElderlyFather: His grandson from his first wife's lineage, Takeru is 26, while Rozan's actual second son, Polka is 16. Rozan himself is ''79''.
121	* CoolOldGuy: Rozan has a spry personality despite his health issues. He watches and seems to enjoy the shark movies his shark-obsessed granddaughter recommends him, he immediately recognizes Corpse God isn't his son and threatens him with a katana, and he has a deceptively easygoing demeanor whenever he isn't exuding pressure.
122	* LikeASonToMe: After learning that [[spoiler:Riz is in fact Kanon's child and the real Polka's half-brother, Rozan comes to see Riz as his son too.]]
123	* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Despite the Corpse God's expectations to the contrary, Rozan is completely in the dark about [[spoiler:his wife Kanon being a traveler from another world. He's even more surprised to learn that Riz is Polka's half-brother.]]
124	* MayDecemberRomance: He was already a grandfather when he had Polka with the much younger looking Kanon. [[spoiler: This turns out to be reversed and upgraded to MayflyDecemberRomance since he is a normal human while Kanon is extremely longlived and at least several centuries old.]]

131	* MissingMom: Despite being regularly mentioned and married to Rozan, she doesn't seem to be a major part in Polka's life. [[spoiler:She was also this to the Corpse God, though not willingly.]]
132	* TraumaInducedAmnesia: According to Rozan, she went through something incredibly traumatic before they met which left her an amnesiac. [[spoiler:The few bursts of memories she has manifest as nightmares where she calls out to her son Riz, the Corpse God, implying that she is still traumatized by her husband selling him into slavery.]]

141	----
142	* BenevolentBoss: For all his shady business, he is very good to his employees and is willing to hear them out.
143	* RedHerring: [[spoiler: He is initially presented as the most likely person to have commissioned Polka's assasination attempt, but he is seemingly proven to be innocent in the matter.]]

163
164	Daughter of Gaku Shinoyama and Polka's niece. Currently unemployed.
165	----
166	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Her entire mindset revolves around sharks, even when they have nothing to do with the situation at hand. It's to the point that she is convinced that no one who likes sharks can be a bad person. Even the Corpse God is thoroughly weirded out by her and can't wrap his head around her logic.
167	* HiddenDepths: When Misaki tries to spook Sayo into admitting if she ordered Polka's murder, Sayo tears apart Misaki's reasoning and deduces that what she's really looking for is some way to absolve herself of the guilt she feels for killing him.
168	* {{Otaku}}: She's completely and utterly fixated on sharks. She spends all of her free time consuming shark-related media and even sleeps in a sharkborg-shaped sleeping bag. [[spoiler:After learning that Polka's soul has been stuffed into a sharkborg toy, she demands the Corpse God put her soul in that toy while the real Polka borrows her body.]]
169	* ReallyFondOfSleeping: She spends most of her time sleeping, claiming to be a "bedroom security enforcer".

198	* HighClassGlass: Wears a monocle and excudes an air of elegance.
199	* {{Polyamory}}: It's indicated that all the waitresses of her bar are also some sort of girlfriend to her, something like a harem.
200	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Rather than needlessly antagonize him, she instead recognizes the Corpse God as an OutsideContextProblem and shifts to a more diplomatic approach to deal with him.
201	* SueDonym: Her mediator name "Clarissa" is based on her real name. If one reads her name in Japanese order and removes the "ki" it becomes Kura Risa or Clarissa.

208	A special department of the Shinjuku police specializing in the cases involving the Troublemakers and paranormal incidents in general. They are lead by Tsubaki Iwanome.
209	----
210	* OccultDetective: PlayedWith. Most of the troublemakers shown so far do not actually have magical abilities, or association with actual sorcery. However, the group has slowly ventured into this territory once [[spoiler: Bastard Children of Sabaramond are revealed to be connected to Hosorogi's disappearance.]]

217	Leader of Comps-3. A suave and easy-going man. Iwanome was greatly inspired by his mentor Hosorogi, who vanished five years prior...
218	----
219	* BrainsAndBrawn: The brains to Arase's brawn. It's not that Arase isn't intelligent or that Iwanome is physically inept; Iwanome, as the Comps-3 manager, has more of an analytical personality while Arase is the more physical one.
220	* GoodCopBadCop: The good cop to Arase's bad cop, relatively speaking. We haven't seen them tag in and out of interrogations, necessarily, but Arase's hostile encounter with Takumi's drone and the onlooking Misaki and Corpse God in the alleyway contrasts Iwanome's subtler, friendlier approach to Misaki and Corpse God later on.
221	* MotorMouth: Well, not really, because Iwanome doesn't babble or speak rapid-fire to the point of breathlessness. Simply put, where Arase is The Quiet One, Iwanome is The Talker.

228	Iwanome's right-hand man of sorts. Used to be a member of the Yakuza before joining the police.
229	----
230	* BrainsAndBrawn: The brawns to Iwanome's brains, not that Arase lacks for brains himself. He voluntarily acts protective of Iwanome if not like a bodyguard. Take the time when a cop who has a bone to pick with Iwanome shoves Iwanome against a wall and attempts to punch him: Arase gets between them, grabs the cop's wrist, and squeezes to the point of possible injury. Iwanome has to call him off.
231	* TheDreaded: Most normal humans are terrified of facing him, especially Takumi and Kuon, both of whom seen first-hand how scary he can be.
232	* GoodCopBadCop: Arase isn't afraid to get a bit rough when he thinks it's necessary, which is all the time. Iwanome prefers to talk things out.
233	* TheQuietOne: Arase usually lets Iwanome handle most of the talking.

238	[[folder:Tena Sorimura (Phantom Solitaire)]]
239	!!Tena Sorimura (Phantom Solitaire)
240	!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/HirokiTakahashi (Japanese)
241	An impossibly skilled PhantomThief. Albeit he has no magic, he yearns to find it, which gets him involved with other possibly supernatural beings.
242	----
243	* BewareTheSillyOnes: He usually shows himself as a fool and AttentionWhore so it's easy to forget that he is an incredibly intelligent man who escaped the police for the entire time until he willingly gave himself up.
244	* ConfusionFu: His fighting technique has shades of this, as he scrambles to pull off ridiculous trick after ridiculous trick to survive his own antics.
245	* IceCreamKoan: Solitaire spouts of an irrelevant philosophical screed he doesn't believe himself just to get a reaction from the Fire-Breathing Bug and get a better feel for them.
246	* IHaveNoIdeaWhatImDoing: Almost any chapter he appears in will feature him saying something along those lines, at the very least within his internal monologue.
247	* IndyPloy: Constantly flying by the seat of his pants, showing up at important people's places in order to shock them into giving him crumbs of intel that he can use to figure out what's going on.
248	* ImpossiblyAwesomeMagicTrick: Solitaire's feats are all prestidigitation and sleight-of-hand, i.e. done without real magic, but some of them are incredibly impossible-sounding. One would be hard-pressed to explain how he deploys innumerable playing cards like a shield in front of him, or how he carries an entire jack-in-a-box on his person without it being noticeable, within the realm of the mundane, yet nevertheless, he manages it.
249	* RefugeInAudacity: Regularly [[Main/InvokedTrope invokes]] this trope with varying degrees of success.
250	* SpannerInTheWorks: Invoked. He relishes in being the element of chaos within the GambitPileup.
251	* WildCard: Possibly the biggest one in the series. Solitaire is notable in that he has no loyalty to any of the factions except himself but he has the charisma, wit, and means to turn any situation on its head on a whim.

254	[[folder:Lemmings]]
255	!!Lemmings AKA Nezu
256	!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/ShoutaAoi (Japanese), Kieran Flitton (English)
257	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lemmings_anime.png]]
258
259	A legendary operative who has been tied to murders, smugglings, kidnappings, and a laundry list of other crimes. He's a recurring presence in the story, later taking a side job as a member of Takeru Shinoyama's Dragon King's Palace Agency.
260	----
261	* BizarreHumanBiology: Supposedly Lemmings is a human who has surpassed the boundary of being human. Still, you try and explain how he moves at extraordinary speeds, disappears without a trace, and survives being shot at without so much as a flinch.
262	* TheDreaded: Lemmings is feared as a nigh-unstoppable monster who shrugs off gunfire and knives with ease. His reputation for invincibility makes his mere presence a complicating factor in any engagement, and anyone who can remotely compare to him is seen as a figure to be feared and respected.
263	* TheFaceless: His face is tightly wrapped in bandages, making it impossible to make out any of his features. Despite this, Lemmings doesn't seem to have any problems seeing, smelling, or hearing. [[spoiler: The bottom of his face is revealed in Chapter 108 and not only is it quite handsome, just seeing it is enough to completely calm down a girl who was previously scared for her life.]]
264	* ImplacableMan: Lemmings has a reputation for being nigh-unstoppable. Bullets and bladed weapons fail to faze him. Paralytic poisons only manage to stiffen his arm a little. He can shatter bone and concrete with ease and even Polka can barely do more than slow him down.
265	* PunchClockVillain: He's fought against Polka and his friends on occasion, but has no ill will toward them. After showing up at the fortune telling office and getting into a fight due to misunderstandings, he meekly apologizes to Takumi and offers to foot the bill for the damaged appliances.

267
268	[[folder:Fire-breathing Bug]]
269	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ch20_fbb_edit.png]]
270
271	A mysterious entity that sets fire in places, leaving behind a message seared into the wall.
272	----
273	* AmbiguousSituation: Just what are they? Each time they show up, they seem to have a different body, with the only marking being that they have the same black umbrella or white rain slicker with "Fire Safety" written on it. Are they a shapeshifting being? A group of people working under a shared moniker? Or something else altogether? [[spoiler:Turns out they are a pseudo-personality implanted in unrelated people through hypnosis, something that seems beyond earthly science.]]
274	* HiveMind: Implied. While the method they use to burn things turns out to not be supernatural, the coordinated precision required to pull it off is beyond what a group of ordinary humans should be capable of.
275	* {{Pyromaniac}}: Fire-breathing Bug is, as their moniker implies, an arsonist.
276	* {{Revenge}}: [[spoiler: They seek vengence against the Bastard Children of Sabaramond over being KidnappedForExperimentation by them.]]
277	[[/folder]]
278
279	[[folder:The Grocer]]
280	!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/NobunagaShimazaki (Japanese), Mauricio Ortiz-Segura (English)
281
282	A former Troublemaker who is now incarcerated in solitary confinement. He is a powerful information broker who many characters employ.
283	----
284	* FamilyBusiness: His title 'The Grocer' can be traced back at least a century prior, apperantely exclusive to 'that merchant family'.
285	* KnowledgeBroker: His main business. [[spoiler: He's so good at it that even the police are using his services and give him substantial freedom despite being incarcerated.]]
286	* MadEye: His left eye, seemingly from the same reason he has the scar. Unusually for this trope, The Grocer is actually very level-headed and professional, aside of the occasional {{Troll}} moments.
287	* PhysicalScarsPsychologicalScars: Has a scar over his left eye and is one of the more morally dubious characters in the show. It is implied that whatever caused him and Kaneshiro to part ways was also when he got the scar.
288	* WeUsedToBeFriends: Apperantly, he used to be Katashiro's right-hand man in the past, and to this day Katashiro speaks fondly of him. The Grocer on the other hand wishes to leave it in the past.
289	[[/folder]]
290
291	[[folder:Deus Ex Kinema]]
292	One of the still-active Troublemakers. Said to be a documentarist who considers the world as nothing more than material for their documentary.
293	----
294	* TheGhost: Yet to appear in the series proper, despite being occassionally mentioned.
295	[[/folder]]

303	!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/ChinatsuAkasaki (Japanese)
304
305	The head of the Agakura family.
306	----
307	* OneeSama: Majiri has absolute authority over her siblings and is rather possessive of them, though she cannot focus on one person for very long.
308	* OurVampiresAreDifferent: [[spoiler: An original vampire from the other side in fact. In addition to not needing to drink blood or avoid sunlight like Misaki, her high rank allows her to manipulate anything around her as it were her own body in a way similar to telekinesis.]]
309	* RedBaron: [[spoiler: Was known as the "Godhead Restorer" in the other world.]]
310	[[/folder]]
311
312	[[folder:Yumeji Agakura]]
313	!!Yumeji Agakura
314	----
315	* BeneathTheMask: Yumeji attempts to act like a normal high schooler, but he's never quite sure what the entails. For instance, when he [[spoiler:encounters an injured young woman during the Corpse Hunt arc]], he asks himself how a normal person would act in his situation. Although he puts up a decent front when he [[spoiler:is interviewed during his mediator confirmation hearing]], it seems he finds "acting normal" tiring; [[spoiler:when the injured girl's transformed friend attacks them, Yumeji drops the normal act and uses violence to subdue her.]]
316	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Boy howdy is it dark. [[spoiler: His family was part of some kind of cult and he was chosen as the "Child of God". This not only made his home situation terrible, he was regularly bullied and assaulted by his classmates and people who were scammed. Even after he escaped his family and cult and Polka became his friend, the cult continued to chase after him until he was driven to join the Agakura family.]]
317	* IJustWantToBeNormal: Desperately so. So desperate in fact that he would willingly join the Agakura family just for some semblance of belonging and normalcy.
318	* TimeMaster: [[spoiler: His ability according to Majiri, he can stop time and even has the RequiredSecondaryPowers to process the information and physically withstand the time dilation he's experiencing, though it mostly shows as inhuman strength and agility in practice.]]

323	!!Momoya Agakura
324	!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/TakuYashiro (Japanese)
325	----
326	* BigLittleBrother: Momoya, who is abnormally tall at 230cm, towers above Majiri. It is unknown whether he is older or younger than Dahlia and Kana.
327	* WillfullyWeak: Momoya wears a wrap around his legs to restrict his movement. He loosens it when fighting Misaki to show he's going all out.

330	[[folder:Dahlia Agakura]]
331	!!Dahlia Agakura
332	!!!'''Voiced by''': Sara Matsumoto (Japanese)
333	----
334	* CombatStilettos: Dahlia uses her heels to puncture the skulls of the presumed werewolves during the Corpse Hunt arc.
335	* KickChick: See above. Dahlia primarily uses her legs when fighting, like during the Agakuras' fight with Misaki.

337
338	!Mediators
339	[[folder:Katashiro (Akihabara)]]
340	!!Katashiro (Akihabara)
341	Katashiro is the mediator of Akihabara and a gamer.
342	----
343	* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's probably the nicest out of all mediators and rarely has any hidden schemes when he's friendly to people. He might also be one of the strongest and hardest to beat in a fight [[spoiler: as proven by him easily killing all the assassins sent by Giacchino without really thinking about it.]]
344	* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Out of several even. Since the other parties all have their hidden agendas and assume he has his own, none of them want to divulge any information to him which makes him largely oblivious to any of the strange happenings outside of Akihabara.
345	* {{Otaku}}: As is expected as the mediator of Akihabara.
346	* WeakButSkilled: Comparatively, at least. He doesn't seem to have any supernatural abilities nor does he have Lemmings' raw physical strength but he makes it up with pure skill. [[spoiler: His precision in throwing dice is great enough that he can use them as weapons against werewolves just by flicking them and deflecting them.]] The Corpse God claims that if Lemmings' is the peak of physical ability, then Katashiro is the peak of technique.
347	[[/folder]]
348
349	[[folder:Gioacchino Soldati (Ikebukuro)]]
350	In addition to being Ikebukuro's mediator, Gioacchino runs a chain of Italian restaurants in Tokyo.
351	----
352	* ScaryShinyGlasses: Wears glasses and is one of them least trustworthy humans introduced so far.
353	[[/folder]]
354

356
357	An organization that acts in the name of [[spoiler:Arius Sabaramond]].
358
359	[[folder: Civil A. [[spoiler:Sabaramond]]]]
360	!!Civil A. [[spoiler:Sabaramond]]
361	!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/AyumuMurase (Japanese)
362	----
363	* BornWinner: [[spoiler: Was born with a body that is perfect for spellcasting, to the point that he can learn how to cast incredibly powerful magic with little to no effort.]]
364	* DefeatMeansFriendship: After Civil [[spoiler:is defeated by Corpse God during the Shinjuku War, he and his companions join the gang at the Abandoned Building]].
365	* DudeLooksLikeALady: Civil is androgynously pretty; people who see him tend to wonder if he is a woman or a man.
366	* HowDoIShootWeb: [[spoiler:Despite having all the properties of a great sorcerer like his namesake Arius Sabaramond, Civil had no idea how to actually use the vast amount of magical energy he subconsciously absorbed from Elementals. It's only after the Corpse God touches him that he starts to learn how to do magic.]]
367	* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Mainly in terms of looks rather than personality. He's the androgynous boy to Soara's masculine girl.
368	* RaisedAsAHost: Although this doesn't seem to be quite explicitly a BodyBackupDrive situation where [[spoiler:Arius himself is meant to take over Civil's body, Civil was a vessel created for the specific purpose of inheriting Arius' memories and character, thereby becoming "the future leader who embodied [Arius' wisdom and magic].]] Close enough.

375	* AmazonianBeauty: Soara has exceptionally-defined abs and musculature.
376	* CoolBigSis: Soara acts affectionate toward Lulu, who she thinks is adorable.
377	* CoveredWithScars: Although not excessively scarred, Soara does bear many from her time as a [[spoiler:guinea pig in the organization's experiments]] and presumably her various fights.
378	* FromNobodyToNightmare: [[spoiler:Went from a lovechild of a police chief to not only a high ranking member of the organization her father was part of but also one of the strongest and most dangerous people in the story thanks to being fused with a magical tiger.]]
379	* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The masculine girl to Civil's androgynous boy.

384	!!Lulu
385	!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/MihoOkasaki (Japanese)
386	----
387	* TheCutie: Lulu is "the cute one" of the Bastard Trio, at least in Soara's opinion.
388	* KidWithTheLeash: [[spoiler: Eventually develops into this once she starts to get over her PowerIncontinence. It still takes her a lot of effort to just keep her Elemental from attacking Majiri.]]
389	* UnstablePoweredChild: Lulu is guarded by an Elemental that wreaks havoc when Lulu is endangered. Often this results in deaths and major damage to Lulu's immediate surroundings. Since Lulu [[PowerIncontinence struggles to reign the Elemental in]], she is timid, nervous, and frequently upset by the destruction she / the Elemental causes.
390	[[/folder]]
391
392	[[folder:Kuon Higuro]]
393	!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/YoshimasaHosoya (Japanese)
394	A middleman for many factions. Previously, Kuon was the leader Sons of the Styx, a loosely-formed criminal gang whose influence extended along the Yamanote line. Given Takumi's role in the groups collapse, Kuon still holds a grudge...
395	----
396	* AffablyEvil: Higuro acts like a friendly and approachable everyman but his capacity to do atrocities while wearing a pleasant smile is astounding.
397	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[spoiler: He talks of Takumi with the tone of a vengeful ex-boyfriend.]]
398	* NotSoStoic: DownplayedTrope. [[spoiler: He is momenteraly looses his cool and screams when he sees the embarrasing deep-fake of his face over a Ryouma Kannagi concert footage that Phantom Solitaire made, ''just'' to try to provoke the higher ups at the Bastard Children of Sabaramond. Than he ubruptly regains his cool and flatly says that he hasn't been so upset since ''preschool''.]]
399	* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: One of the most blandly normal-looking characters in the series.
400	* TortureTechnician: Uses some... creative torture methods when interrogating [[spoiler: Takumi]].
401	* WillingChanneler: ZigZagged. [[spoiler: He makes a deal with Fire-breathing Bug to become its sole host in exchange for letting him live and flee into safety, far away from the clutches of the Bastard Children of Sabaramond.]]
