22	Tico is the avatar that appears in the popular site Nicaea every time the party needs help fighting demons. They both share the same name, but differ in gender and personalities. It's unknown how their site can summon demons or even show the deaths of any individual.
23	----
24	* AwesomeAnachronisticApparel: Male Tico wears a cravat tied in a what appears to be an Osbaldeston knot.
25	* CaptainObvious: Sometimes.
26	-->'''Female Tico''': Could it be real? If not, it has to be fake, right?
27	* CatchPhrase:
28	-->'''Female Tico''': Have a nice wheee!\
29	'''Male Tico''': May your tomorrow [=bE a nICE daY As wEll...=]
30	* CurtainsMatchTheWindows
31	* ExoticEyeDesigns: Female Tico has star-shaped pupils.
32	* {{Expy}}: Instead of being expies from anybody in ''VideoGame/DevilSurvivor'', they both are expies of [[VideoGame/Persona3 Theodore and Elizabeth]] given you can choose who's going to help you out. Also, fittingly enough, expies of the Laplace Mail system: Male Tico before it begins to break down, Female Tico once it's begun to [[{{Malaproper}} babble and misuse words.]]
33	** In the Triangulum Arc of Record Breaker [[spoiler:they also operate as the {{SUperboss}}, supported furthermore by their power and difficulty over the main storyline boss fights.]]
34	* FullNameBasis: Bizarrely enough given her nicknaming tendencies, female Tico always refers to Miyako with her full name.
35	* FusionDance: Kind of. Their idea of a fusion is simply to have male Tico carry a sitting female Tico on one hand.
36	* GenkiGirl: Female Tico.
37	* {{Guyliner}}: Male Tico appears to wear a thin line of red eyeliner.
38	* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: During the {{Superboss}} battle, male Tico is more physically oriented while female Tico uses magic attacks.
39	* {{Herald}}: Tico will sing your praises in the end of the day summary.
40	** [[spoiler:And will do the same for The Anguished One.]]
41	* TheJeeves: Male Tico is polite, well-spoken, and refers to everyone as "Master".
42	* LargeHam: Female Tico.
43	* LeetSpeak: Female Tico loves this.
44	* MsExposition: You get to choose if Tico is male or female at the beginning. Regardless, they will basically serve as the digital avatar of how the Nicaea app (the game mechanics) work. You'll even get a brief summary of what happened at the end of each day from them.
45	* MsFanservice: Female Tico, by virtue of the PlayboyBunny outfit. She also tends to hit on your hero in her dialogue.
46	* TheNicknamer: Female Tico calls Makoto "Mako-Mako", Fumi is "Foomy", Ronaldo is "Ronny" and Yamato is "Yammy".
47	** [[spoiler:She calls The Anguished One "His Excellency", a title usually reserved for extremely important religious figures. This eventually tells us that The Anguished One is their creator.]]
48	* NotSoStoic: Male Tico is normally fairly neutral in his end-of-day recaps, but drops his polite demeanour entirely if you do anything that goes against [[spoiler: The Anguished One]].
49	* OrderVersusChaos: Will constantly, during the end day summary, point out the different sides and where they possibly stand on these, and will remind you to make your own decision who and what causes you might wish to support.
50	* PlayboyBunny: The female Tico for your hero's link to Nicaea, dresses in this fashion.
51	* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: Female Tico has a penchant for doing this in Record Breaker.
52	* SharpDressedMan: Male Tico.
53	* VirtualSidekick: Serves as this to the main character, acting both as an assistant and a moral compass.
54	* WhatTheHellHero: Tico will not hesitate to call out both sides on their idiocy or questionable decisions in the end of the day summary.

58	!!! Septentriones ''The Big Dipper''
59
60	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/septentriones.png]]
61
62	A group of seven aliens that attack Japan for unknown reasons. Collectively, they form the Big Dipper and are named after its stars. One appears each day for a week. It turns out that they are the swords of the current Adminstrator ruling on the Heavenly Throne.
63
64	In reality, there are a total of eight stars to the Big Dipper, with an eight Septentrione still to appear.
65	----
66	* AchillesHeel: Dubhe's inflatable top [[spoiler:causes a lot of damage to him, if attacked]].
67	* ActionBomb: Dubhe itself, by expanding and detonating the pink mass floating above it.
68	* AlienGeometries: Megrez warps in odd ways when moving.
69	* AllYourPowersCombined: Benetnasch has the ability to use the powers of the previously fought Septentriones. [[spoiler:This is because it has a fusion of the other Septentriones inside of it and has access to their various ElementalPowers, which makes it a very aggravating battle.]] In the anime, [[spoiler:Benetnasch fully utilizes the powers of the other six, including shooting beams and dozens of exploding Dubhes.]]
70	* AsteroidsMonster:
71	** Attacking Mizar and its clones causes it to break apart into even more smaller clones. If left to their own devices, these clones can grow larger and gain the ability to split when attacked.
72	** When Benetnasch's first form is done, it will split into four pieces. Three of these pieces each contain parts of two previous Septentriones and have their attacks, while the fourth is a blank slate that retains Benetnasch's skills, including ''Pacify Human.''
73	* BackFromTheDead: Phecda will re-fuse together and become invincible, if the player does not manage to defeat both of its un-fused parts before time is up. It will continue to de-fuse and re-fuse, until it is defeated.
74	* BeamSpam: Merak spams several weaker beams in the anime.
75	* BlueAndOrangeMorality: It's implied that the reason the Septentriones act like they do is because they are incapable of recognizing humans as sapient beings.
76	* CurbStompBattle: In the anime, Mizar and Alioth are taken down without the party needing to personally engage them.
77	* DegradedBoss: Dubhe turns out to have been a 'fully-grown' Megrez Bud. The rainbow-colored V-shaped body that was Dubhe are now simply Megrez Buds that are easy to defeat.
78	* DifficultySpike: In-universe, Megrez is a huge jump in difficulty, compared to the previous three Septentriones. It has fewer vulnerabilities, a lot more HP and the ability to heal itself and [[GetBackHereBoss moves across the battlefield]]. It also features more mooks and has the ability to shoot its Buds to [[MookMaker create more]].
79	* EldritchAbomination: They are completely inhuman, spawn demons around them and designed by Creator/MohiroKitoh.
80	* ElementalPowers: Each Septentrione represents a different element based on their SignatureMove.
81	** [[KillItWithFire Fire]]: Dubhe
82	** [[AnIcePerson Ice]]: Merak
83	** [[ShockAndAwe Electricity]]: Phecda, though it also uses Ice and Force.
84	** [[BlowYouAway Force]]: Megrez, with its Buds able to cause [[DishingOutDirt earthquakes]].
85	** [[PoisonousPerson Poison/Status Effects]]: Alioth
86	** [[GoodOldFisticuffs Physical]]: Mizar
87	** [[NonElemental Almighty]]: Benetnasch, along with the [[AllYourPowersCombined others']] powers.
88	* {{Expy}}
89	** Of the Angels from ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''. They are invaders from beyond the stars and attack Japan individually, are incapable or unwilling to communicate, have their individual powers and ways to deal with them. [[spoiler:They are also sent down to purge or test humanity's will.]] Among the last ones [[spoiler:is a white-haired pretty boy, who has developed empathy for the ones it's supposed to destroy]].
90	** Alioth and Arael are giant flyers that attack its targets from space and are outside of the reach of conventional weapons. [[spoiler:Both need to be shot down with a special throwing-spear that requires unsealing to deal with them.]]
91	** Mizar and Iruel are both self-propagating shapeless blobs. [[spoiler:Neither is defeated by the protagonist, but by an outside force.]]
92	** Megrez and Israfel appear from the ocean and are separated into three parts that require the party to split and defeat the pieces simultaneously.
93	** In the anime, Benetnasch acts very similar to Ramiel. [[spoiler:But acts more like Zeruel, by being the unstoppable juggernaut that shatters the status quo and speeds things up into a very dark end-game.]]
94	** Finally[[spoiler:, Alcor and Tabris]].
95	* FacePlant: When Daichi floors it and drives the truck away, Dubhe falls off and lands on its 'face'.
96	* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath:
97	** Dubhe explodes and leaves people as nothing more than scorch marks on the ground.
98	** Merak's Circumpolarity freezes people in place, who then topple over and shatter.
99	* GeminiDestructionLaw: All three Megrez bodies have to be destroyed at the same time or else they will regenerate. This is why its boss battle is timed, as you're trying to coordinate its defeat with the other teams.
100	* GetBackHereBoss: Megrez moves across the battlefield three times, before being 'really' defeated.
101	* GiantFlyer: Alioth.
102	* KnightOfCerebus: Megrez. Dubhe, Merak, and Phecda, while still major threats, all just showed up and happened to be defeated without any major trouble. Megrez is when it becomes apparent that the Septentriones are learning, as it is the first invader to stay back and use a strategy that takes the whole day to counter.
103	* MeaningfulName
104	** They are all named after the stars in the Big Dipper, which Polaris can be found by using them as a guide.
105	** The Arab name for [[spoiler:Alcor]] is 'suha' meaning 'forgotten' or 'neglected' one.
106	* MookMaker
107	** Merak deploys its little Merak Missiles that need to be defeated before they reach the Tsuutenkaku.
108	** Megrez shoots off its Buds, which are [[DegradedBoss degraded]] versions of Dubhe and cause earthquakes.
109	** Mizar itself takes this to a whole new level by any attack causing it to split off into two pieces that proceed to grow and gain the ability to split off into more mooks.
110	* NighInvulnerability
111	** Dubhe starts off by nulling everything and reflecting physical damage, until a plot-mandated scene occurs that leaves it damaged and weak to everything except Fire.
112	** Phecda nullifies everything except Almighty (which you're unlikely to have access to at this point outside of NG+) until it separated into two halves, with one weak to Physical and the other to Magical damage.
113	** Benetnasch takes a different approach. Rather than nullifying everything, it just has a pair of abilities that makes it immune to human attacks while un-summoning all demons under contract.
114	* NoSell: Benetnasch's ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Pacify Human]]'' skill nullifies any human attack on him. [[spoiler:This includes any attack done by Al Saiduq.]]
115	* OneExtraMember: The Septentriones actually have an eighth member.
116	* OutsideGenreFoe: An original set of alien-like monsters as the main opponents, instead of the mythological demons and gods that are usually the focus of the series. (Though the Septentriones are based on astronomy, the connection is more abstract than demons which are intended to directly and literally represent aspects of human mythology.)
117	* RunOrDie: Once Benetnasch revokes all demons, you have to flee, whether by avoiding the Megrez buds on the way to the exits or by taking the Megrez buds out.
118	* SelfDuplication: Mizar continually grows and creates smaller copies of itself, doing the exact same. Any attack causes Mizar to break off into pieces that grow fast. The party has to make a choice. [[spoiler:Leave Mizar alone, with its copies smothering what is rest of the world within a day or cut the power to the barrier that is keeping them save from the Void, giving them three days left. At best]].
119	* ShownTheirWork: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Dipper Check out]] the other Wiki's page and see how the abilities fit them.
120	* SpreadShot: in the anime, Dubhe can shoot an Exploding Shot example of this trope. Unlike the majory of examples in this category, Dubhe's bullets scatter before hitting its targets.
121	* StarfishAlien: Many of their designs include bizarre objects and some of them can easily be mistaken for food, like Dubhe's gelatinous top and Merak looking like half of a starfish. [[spoiler:In-game, they are described as being similar to demons, but not being quite the same. A similar explanation is given when the protagonist asks if Alcor and the others are God.]]
122	* StarfishLanguage: They speak in random symbols.
123	* StellarName: All are named after the stars of the Big Dipper.
124	* TimeLimitBoss
125	** Megrez has to be defeated without 'taking too many turns'.
126	** Mizar has to be defeated [[spoiler:before the Dragon Stream runs out of power]].
127	* TronLines: Merak, but they are easier seen in the anime.
128	* WaveMotionGun: Merak's Circumpolarity attacks anyone in its line of sight.
129	* WhyWontYouDie: Mizar refuses to go down easily. [[spoiler:Aside from splitting itself apart, it clings to a building when the Dragon Stream tries to eat it. When the party manages to knock its arms off the building, it proceeds to continuously split to not get eaten. The Dragon Stream does the same until it finally manages to swallow Mizar.]]
130	* TheWorfEffect: Dubhe suffers this in the anime. To portray just how awesome Hibiki is, he defeats Dubhe by summoning Byakko. And Dubhe was ''not'' damaged, unlike in the game.
131	* ZergRush: Employed by Merak when it uses its Meral Missiles.

133	!'''Polaris'''
134	[[quoteright:256:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_messaging_oz15hokw5u1rai649_400.png]]
135	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YoshikoSakakibara (Japanese), Creator/TaraPlatt (English)
136
137	A Godlike being who rules multiple universes and is the Administrator of the Universe, through the use of the AkashicRecords. She desires to destroy the world and annihilate mankind because they no longer fit the order she envisions.
138	----
139	* AkashicRecords: As Administrator, Polaris has access to it, and manipulates it to erase the world.
140	* AliensAreBastards: Unleashes the Void on humanity because we didn't live up to her standards. Not her [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters moral]] standards, her professional ones--we weren't evolving fast enough for her liking. That, and she's immensely condescending and dismissive when you encounter her.
141	* TheBattleDidntCount: Every fight against her that involves having Polaris grant a wish reveals that she is unharmed after the fight. Averted in the cases where your goal is to [[KillTheGod actually kill Polaris]].
142	* TheBadGuyWins: In the Egalitarian and Meritorious routes, she gets what she wants. Humanity has a new principle to guide its evolution, and has broken out of the stagnation that led Polaris to decide on their erasure.
143	* BigBad: In the games.
144	* BlueAndOrangeMorality: According to the Anguished One, Polaris couldn't care less about ''what'' are regarded as good and evil, only that humanity/the world remain focused on eternally growing towards a particular standard.
145	* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: Downplayed in both the cases where she lives and dies. In the former, it turns out she's barely injured from the boss fight but was so impressed by humanity's ability to survive and evolve that she reverses her decision to destroy it and instead grants it a wish. In the cases where she dies, she claims humanity will no longer be able to control demons, but either has a replacement in the wings (Alcor's route) or turns out to be an InformedAttribute (Liberator Ending).
146	* DarkIsEvil: Her final form however is a black egg shaped form.
147	* DeathByIrony: Unleashed the void upon humanity because they didn't meet her standards, and in several routes ends up dying ''because'' they eventually meet and surpass those standards.
148	* DieLaughing: When she is killed in Daichi's route.
149	* DimensionLord: As the admin who rules countless parallel worlds.
150	* EvilCounterpart: Besides the Protagonist and Alcor every playable character has a Shadow of them summoned by Polaris that show up in certain routes of the final battle.
151	* {{Expy}}: It seems that [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne Kagutsuchi]] and YHVH have decided to destroy the world using [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiStrangeJourney the Schwarzwelt]].
152	* FinalBoss: Of the Septentrione Arc.
153	* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Her second form is completely different depending on what ending you're on:
154	** On Yamato's route, as you plan on making a pure meritocracy, she summons powerful demons that you must defeat to prove your strength.
155	** On Ronaldo's route, as you plan on making a pure egalitarian society, she summons two civilians and some moderately powerful demons who will target the civilians, and you must protect the civilians to prove your kindness.
156	** On Restorer, she will summon shadow versions of the party for them to triumph over and prove humanity's worth.
157	** On Kingmaker and Liberator, she will summon demons to target the Anguished One or the protagonist, respectively, and on the former, she also binds the Anguished One to prevent him from taking any actions other than defending himself. As your goal in these routes is to kill Polaris, she remains the main target rather than the summoned demons, and her third form is buffed to reflect the higher stakes on her end.
158	* TheGlovesComeOff: Has much higher stats in her boss fights on the Kingmaker and Liberator routes, because on those paths, you're legitimately trying to kill her.
159	* GreaterScopeVillain: In the anime. Where she only briefly appears and is not fought.
160	* KarmaHoudini: In Yamato's, Ronaldo's, and arguably the Restorer ending. Averted in the Liberator and Kingmaker endings, but they have their own issues instead.
161	* KingOfAllCosmos: Looks like a giant top (and then a giant egg-thing with weird arms).
162	* LightIsNotGood: Her first two forms give off a bright light aura with the first being pinkish and the second pure white. Shee also has the Heaven's Wrath attack.
163	* MarathonBoss: She has three distinct battles with no chances to replenish between them. Luckily, the last form is a pushover if you are capable of [[ZergRush depleting all of its health before it or its flunkies have a decent shot at you]].
164	* MeaningfulName: Polaris is viewed in myth as the center which all stars revolve around. Her second form resembles the Norse myth of Polaris as the world spike (Veraldar Nagli) which the entire universe revolves around.
165	* NoSell: Due to being granted his existence from Polaris, Alcor cannot hurt her or any of her component pieces. Thankfully it doesn't apply to his demons.
166	* NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: She proclaims that it is impossible to defeat her, yet one of Daichi's routes and Alcor's route have her being killed by the characters.
167	* TheOmniscient: Claims this due to having access to the AkashicRecords.
168	* ThePowerOfTheVoid: Harnesses the void to erase worlds she deems unworthy of existing.
169	* PhysicalGod: She's the (current) administrator of the universe, and all six endings require you to [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu punch her out]].
170	* PowerEchoes: Her voice in ''Record Breaker'' not only echoes, but is accompanied by strange metallic ringing similar to the sounds the Septentriones make.
171	* RoyalBlood: She inherited Heaven's Throne from Kochab who inherited it from Vega. Er Rai will inherit the throne from Polaris.
172	* SchrodingersGun: After either Yamato or Ronaldo explains their wish to her in their routes, Polaris claims that's what she wanted the entire time. This is a HalfTruth -- The Anguished One explained in one of his Fate conversations that Polaris had no interest in what kind of ideals became the basis of the world as long as the humanity didn't lose sight of their purpose, so she likely deems that Yamato and Ronaldo's wishes will fix the stagnancy the world is facing.
173	* ShesAManInJapan: Sort of. The Japanese script never specifies a gender for Polaris while the localization of the DS game had the characters switching between "he" and "it". The English localization for ''Record Breaker'' has the cast instead consistently refer to Polaris with female pronouns, likely to keep in tune with the use of a female voice actor and avoid ItIsDehumanizing.
174	* StellarName: Named after the north star Polaris. Her predecessors all derive their names from past pole stars, while her soon-to-be inheritor, Er Rai, is named after a future pole star.
175	* TheUnfought: In the anime, Hibiki makes his wish to Polaris in the final episode, and it gets granted without any trial.
176	* WalkingSpoiler: Naturally, as the one behind the Septentrione attack.
177	* WaveMotionGun: Her Supernova attack that needs to charge before firing.

186	An older, afro'd man in a concealing hat and longcoat with a connection to several characters. [[ShootTheShaggyDog If only his activity made a difference.]]
187	----
188	* AfroAsskicker: He can punch people and knock them out.
189	* BadassNormal: He can knock people out with one punch.
190	* CharacterDeath: He died twice; the first one was an implied public death to all the people he worked/lived with, and the second one was truly a death scene for trying to help the Protagonist by summoning a powerful demon that later killed him in battle.
191	* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: He had to fake his death after looking to closely into the actions of JP's. Throughout the week he appears in various events helping people and befriending the protagonist. He eventually gets killed by demons and spends his last few moments thinking of his daughter and makes you promise not to reveal that he was actually alive.
192	* FantasyForbiddingFather: He initially and fervently refused his daughter's wish to become a pianist and an idol until she succeeded and convinced him otherwise.
193	* FedoraOfAsskicking: Fedoras must run in the family.
194	%%* PrivateDetective
195	* {{Retcon}}: He's mentioned to be alive and well in the Triangulum Arc [[spoiler:by his pupil Ronaldo and daughter Airi]]. He never lost connection to his loved ones in that world.

203
204
205	Named Botis, Bifrons, and Black Frost, they are the servants of the Anguished One. Both Botis and Bifrons appears as bosses during the story and if they should die in those battles then Black Frost will take their place in the battle on the last day.
206	----
207	* AdaptationalVillainy: Botis in the anime [[spoiler:especially his willingness to kill Alcor for having a difference in opinion.]]
208	* AnIcePerson: Black Frost is an ice demon.
209	* AxCrazy: Bifrons ''really'' likes to kill humans. His master is the only thing keeping him under control.
210	* BadBoss: Bifrons threatens to kill his demon minions if they don't obey him.
211	* BerserkButton: Bifrons doesn't like being called a runt.
212	* CallBack: Black Frost is one to the Black Frost from the first ''VideoGame/DevilSurvivor''.
213	* CoDragons: For Saiduq.
214	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:In the anime Botis is tossed around by Alcor before being crushed into a ball and dying.]]
215	* CurbStompBattle: Bifrons wipes out all the demons Ronaldo's men summon in a single attack in the anime.
216	* DevelopersForesight: [[spoiler:Yes, you actually ''can'' kill Botis and Bifrons during your first fights with them (though likely not until new game plus), and yes, the fight against the Anguished One in any route not his own ''does'' accommodate for this.]]
217	* FaceDeathWithDignity: Botis will congratulate the Protagonist upon his defeat on the last day.
218	* GracefulLoser: Botis.
219	* ItCanThink: The characters are surprised in the anime by the fact that they are able to talk.
220	* KillItWithFire: How Bifrons likes to kill humans.
221	* MindControl: Botis does this to Fumi and has her hack JP's database [[spoiler:in order to find out what Yamato is up to.]]
222	** In the anime this is changed to [[spoiler:him using her to open the barrier so a Septentrione can enter.]]
223	* NobleDemon: Botis is different from Bifrons in that he does not like to kill humans and follows his masters orders to the letter. He only fights the Protagonists when he has no choice and on the last day as part of the test. He will even congratulate the Protagonist for beating him on the last day.
224	* NoSell: Botis can use Shield All during his fight, so he'll be able to null the first attack made on his squad.
225	* PlayingWithFire: Bifrons and Black Frost can use fire magic.
226	* ShockAndAwe: Botis can use lightning magic.
227	* SkippableBoss: Botis and Bifrons first appear as bosses in missions where your main objective is not to defeat everything in sight. If your roster is not up to scratch you can avoid engaging them and finish the main objectives to progress the plot.
228	* SmugSnake: Bifrons thinks he is a SmugSuper and mocks the humans for being puny before killing them. Makes more sense in the anime since they don't fight.
229	* TookALevelInBadass: Both Botis and Bifrons are a lot more powerful on the last day than they were earlier in the story.
230	* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Attempted by [[spoiler:Botis in the anime. Unfortunately for him he [[CurbStompBattle he didn't even get to attack]].]]
231	* VillainTeleportation: Botis uses it to get to different places in the anime. Though it doesn't seem he can go far when using it.

253	New invaders set to attack earth and appeared after Polaris's defeat and the regression of the world. They are named after the stars that form the Spring Triangle asterism. Unlike the Sepentriones that were focusing their attacks on various barrier towers, the Triangulum's target is always the Sky Tower.
254
255	There is a fourth member, turning them into the Great Diamond asterism, called Cor Caroli.
256	----
257	* AdaptiveAbility: Spica Buds gain complete immunity to whatever attack was used to defeat it and hand that immunity on to the other buds, as well as the main body. This includes [[InfinityPlusOneElement Almighty]]!
258	* AIBreaker: Inverted with Spica, whose abilities are perfectly tuned to punish [[invoked]] ComplacentGamingSyndrome from players expecting to be able to roll over it with high-level demons from NewGamePlus, which many players will be on when they first face it. High-level demons will typically only be equipped with moves that deal either Physical damage, which is the best damage type by an enormous margin against anything that doesn't resist it, and Almighty damage, [[InfinityPlusOneElement which nothing resists]]. It's fully possible for a player to make Spica immune to all of their best attacks on their first encounter with its buds.
259	* ClockRoaches: It turns out that they are attacking humanity and want to wipe it out because the party members [[NiceJobBreakingItHero keep defying the natural order]]. It's come to the point that the Providence itself registered humanity as an error in the Akashic Records that must be removed.
260	* CognizantLimbs: Denebola's main body is composed of three parts: Denebola, Chort and Zosma. Denebola is a physical attacker, Zosma is a magical one, and Chort grants physical immunity to all three parts as long as it's alive.
261	* DeathFromAbove: Denebola fires massive beam barrages. A direct hit onto the Sky Tower would destroy it. Spica's ice shards are also this type of attack, though much smaller in scale.
262	* DiscOneFinalBoss: Arcturus is set up to be the final boss of the Triangulum, with a lot of emphasis put on the party having to be more than prepared to battle it and how this will be the toughest battle to face. [[spoiler:Especially since it killed almost everyone during the second cycle.]] But there is something much bigger waiting behind Arcturus.
263	* EldritchAbomination: Another group of bizarre and incomprehensible beings from space.
264	* {{Expy}}: Spica is one of Megrez, with its buds being the first things the party battles. Its battle with the main body also takes place at the sea, from where it attacks.
265	* GiantFlyer: Denebola. [[spoiler:Actually, that's just its cannon. The main body is tiny.]]
266	* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:Arcturus effortlessly killed most of the party, before it was defeated by Yamato and Al Saiduq.]]
267	* AnIcePerson: Spica's mere presence lowers the temperature of Japan by a ton and spreads ice around. Ironically enough, it doesn't have an innate immunity to Ice. Unless the player [[AdaptiveAbility gives it one]].
268	* TheJuggernaut: Arcturus destroys a large amount of the Tokyo skyline in its introduction and turns out to be invincible when the party first tries to fight it.
269	* KillAllHumans: Unlike the Septentriones, who were sent to test humanity, the Triangulum seek only to eliminate them.
270	* KillItWithFire: Arcturus uses Quasar to inflice 4-Down, causing everyone to be weak to the four main elements, and uses Plough Of Death to deal Fire damage to everyone on the field. When the party resists that strategy, it uses the even stronger Plough Of Life.
271	* LightningBruiser: Arcturus is very fast, having 24 Speed at Level 50 and high Strength and Magic. Its vitality may not be that great, but given that it's basically indestructible, it has no need to worry about taking damage from enemies.
272	* MechanicalLifeform: Arcturus [[spoiler:looks like a perforated sheet metal]].
273	* NighInvulnerability: Arcturus is immune to practically any kind of attack. [[spoiler:It can only take damage from the Dragon Stream or creatures like Al Saiduq. And even when Yamato uses the Dragon Stream against it, it deals so little damage that Miyako has to use her own to strengthen it.]]
274	* NoSell: Arcturus cannot be damaged by humans or demons.
275	* OneExtraMember: The fourth member of the Triangulum is Cor Caroli. [[spoiler:Miyako's real form.]]
276	* PyrrhicVictory: [[spoiler:The defeat of Arcturus during the second cycle. While it was eventually defeated, the only surviving members were Yamato and Al Saiduq. And Al Saiduq mentions that the world, what little is seen of it, is too burned and ravaged to be able to recover from things. They decided to regress the world once more, to get another chance.]]
277	* RoyalBlood: Arcturus is also an Adminstrator, destined to take the Heavenly Throne one day.
278	* StarfishAlien: Denebola looks the closest to being organic.
279	* StellarName
280	** Denebola, Spica and Arcturus are named after the Spring Triangle stars. They form the Great Diamond with Cor Caroli, their fourth member.
281	** Zosma and Chort are Denebola's neighboring stars in the Leo constellation.
282	* TimeLimitBoss: Denebola must be defeated before its cannon is fully charged.
283	* WakeUpCallBoss: Compared to the Septentriones, the Triangulum are much stronger and require more complex strategies to defeat them.
284	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After the Triangulum are captured, nothing is mentioned about their fate except for two endings. [[spoiler:The Sacrificial Ending has Miyako show that they are part of the machine that turns Al Saiduq into a proper Adminstrator and the Triangulum become his swords. The Guardian ending has them becoming the Protagonist's swords along with Al Saiduq when he turns himself into an Administrator.]]
285
286	!!! Canopus
287	[[quoteright:256:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/canopus12.png]]
288
289	The entity responsible for maintaining the Administrator system and the true antagonist of the Triangulum Arc.
290	----
291	* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Canopus is portrayed more as an extremely powerful computer, rather than a sapient being. It isn't seeking to wipe out humanity out of any conscious malice, but considers it a virus in the Administrator system.
292	* CombatTentacles: Golden tentacles called Matrix that grow from the bottom of its body, which it uses as a defense against the party.
293	* CompleteImmortality: As long as Canopus controls the Four Factors that make up the very nature of the universe itself, it will not die and continue to exist.
294	* {{Expy}}: Bears similarities to the Great Will, which is commonly associated with, or is, YHVH.
295	* FinalBoss: Of the Triangulum Arc.
296	* GeniusLoci: The realm of Providence, above the Akasha Stratum and Earth, is actually part of its body.
297	* GreaterScopeVillain: Of the Septentrione Arc, as it turns out. It oversees the system that Polaris controls, but has no direct hand in its actions.
298	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Despite seeing no problem in not restoring The Protagonist's data during the first regression (The Triangulum even tried to erase his data during the second regression), it made attempt to "fix" Yamato's absence by creating Miyako instead of leaving things as it was like what it did to The Protagonist, considering Canopus was intent on perceiving humanity as error that needs to be erased and not replacing the position of a leader of an organization that played part in defeating Polaris in the first cycle should've helped its goal. Not only did Miyako join humanity's side, Miyako and Yamato's paradoxical coexistence ended up becoming the first and possibly most vital key in killing Canopus. To add insult to injury, Yamato and Miyako's ending is considered ''the best ending of the Triangulum arc''.]]
299	* KillAllHumans: Judged all humans to be a threat to the universal order and wants them removed.
300	* LiterallyShatteredLives: As it falls during its defeat, Canopus and the Providence shatter into pieces before disappearing.
301	* MakingASplash: Uses the only water-themed attack ''Culling of Roots'' on foes.
302	* TheManBehindTheMan: The creator of the Triangulum ''and'' the driving force behind the entire Administrator System.
303	* MeaningfulName: Canopus is the second brightest star in the sky, with only Sirius shining brighter. Hindu mythology believes it to control the tides.
304	* MegaMicrobes: It's kind of like this and a BlobMonster.
305	* MookMaker: Produces Shards and Genes from its body that share its NighInvulnerability and making them [[InvincibleMinorMinion Invincible Minor Minions]].
306	* NighInvulnerability: It was initially deemed to be impossible to destroy Canopus, as it represents the primal factors that make up the universe - Heat, Force, Space and Time - which make it literally invincible to anything and capable of countering attacks. [[spoiler:It's only by the simultaneous existence of Yamato and Miyako Hotsuin that it loses its invulnerability, as well as Skill Cracking the special factors it owns and using them against it.]]
307	* RedBaron: Miyako refers to it as 'Providence' or 'the Divine Order of the Universe'.
308	* ResurrectiveImmortality: Canopus itself has the [[CompleteImmortality complete]] version, but his Shards ''can'' be knocked out for a while.
309	* TopGod: It stands even above the Administrators, as the Divine Order of the Universe.
310	* TheUnfought: If the player goes for Miyako's sacrificial ending.
