From that time on Harutora's doctor father has been treating him the aftereffects, one of them being his ability to use "Spirit Slight" after the incident like most Onmyoji.
121----
122* BadassBoast: An inversion. Telling Harutora that he could kill him with just a punch effectively makes unable to him to punch him since he knows his friend will die. Harutora then proceeds give him a beatdown.

152----
153* ACupAngst: She is pissed at Kyoko's larger size, who teases her about still growing.
154* AntiVillain: Before her HeelFaceTurn, she was the first antagonist Harutora and Natsume faced. She came wanting to resurrect her dead beloved brother who died because of the experiments their parents put them through to produce splendid onmyoji. During her crusade, she broke into areas to find forbidden knowledge of the Taizan Fukun Ritual, attacked agents of the Magical Crime Investigation Bureau, made Harutora an unwitting pawn to steal some of Natsume's power and killed Harutora's friend Hokuto. When she does the ritual, her brother's revived body chokes her.

156* BigBrotherWorship: To the point she is willing to sacrifice herself to revive him.
157* BitchInSheepsClothing: After enrolling in Onmyoji Academy, Suzuka quickly turns the tables on Harutora and Natsume, essentially blackmailing them with their secrets and bossing them around. All while keeping the façade of a cute genius freshman.
158* BroughtDownToBadass: She still can kick ass with her powers sealed.
159* CameBackWrong: Her attempts to revive her older brother. Something evil brings him back to life, and he immediately begins to choke her. Harutora was initially going to let her get HoistByHisOwnPetard, but ends up helping to save her instead.
160* CheshireCatGrin: This happens when she realizes Harutora is in the same school she enrolls in and happens to notice him. Cue to that knowing she wants some payback. It happens a second time when she caught Natsume too.
161* ChildProdigy: She's the youngest Divine General to ever exist, something that is explained by the massive amount of experiments her parents conducted on Suzuka and her brother.
162* DarkAndTroubledPast: Her father did many experiments, both to her and her brother. It's implied is the cause of her power.
163* DefeatEqualsFriendship: More like "Defeat equals Falling for the other person". Successfully convincing her to stop the ritual caused her to eventually fall for Harutora.
164* EroticEating: Suggestively licks whatever sweets she has in her hand.
165* TheFakeCutie: Her cute mannerisms make her the idol of the onmyoji world, but she hides her arrogant and cruel nature with it.
166* FemmeFatalons: When she first appears, she has long nails painted black. After her HeelFaceTurn, they are smaller and no longer painted.
167* FilleFatale: A fifteen-year-old girl that uses her cuteness and seductive appeal to manipulate and charm others.
168* ForcefulKiss: Does this to Harutora when they first meet. It at first seems to be an attempt to make Hokuto jealous, but Harutora later finds out she actually put a magic seal in him, which turns into a wasp and steals Natsume's spiritual powers.

171* HeelFaceTurn: Eventually becomes a trusted ally, thought it takes some time for her to actually warm up to them.
172* ImprobableAge: She is a Divine General despite her young age. Deconstructed in that she only has the power due to being her father's test subject, and she has less emotional maturity than she should have for her age.
173* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite her HeelFaceTurn, she's very haughty and goes around turning Harutora and Natsume's school life upside down for the first few weeks following her transfer. Nevertheless, she grows to accept her condition, and ends up becoming a valuable ally to the main cast.
174* {{Leitmotif}}: An eerie whistle can be heard when Suzuka makes her appearance as an antagonist, and when re-introduced as a NewTransferStudent.
175* LittleMissBadass: One of the youngest characters in the cast (barring [[TokenMiniMoe Kon]]), but she's a Divine General, and is constantly ahead of the rest of the protagonists without even trying.
176* {{Necromantic}}: As an antagonist, she seeks to resurrect her older brother.
177* NewTransferStudent: She is forcibly enrolled in the Onmyo Academy as punishment and for her reeducation. As Harutora and company's underclassman, no less.
178* TheNicknamer: She calls Touji "headband", to put an example.
179* NonUniformUniform: Her uniform had added frills and shorter outer jacket than the other Onmyo Academy girls' uniform.
180* NoSocialSkills: While she can manipulated others easily enough, some aspects of normalcy stymie her, for example her confusion over the fast food hamburger's wrapper.
181* OralFixation: Her very first scene consists of close-ups of her licking a lollipop.
182* PaperTalisman: Her schtick. She uses a magic book that acts likes a talisman.
183* PowerLimiter: One was put on her as punishment for her previous troubles.
184* PowerParasite: Can use a familiar to steal power from someone, which she does on Natsume.
185* ShowerShy: She does not want to lose her ModestyTowel when in the hot spring with Kyoko, who teases her and steals it.
186* SirSwearsALot: Suzuka's short fuse is prone to making her spout a constant barrage of cuss words.
187* StarterVillain: She was the first villain in the series, but she made them work for the win.
188* TinyTyrannicalGirl: One of the shorter girls in the cast, and one with a terrifying attitude at that.
189* TookALevelInKindness: After her reintroduction and official joining of Harutora's group, she's taken small steps towards atoning for her past actions.
190* {{Tsundere}}: After transferring to Onmyoji Academy, Suzuka is very abrasive around Harutora and company, though she can be seen blushing and stuttering heavily when someone implies she's fallen in love with Harutora. This is even lampshaded by Kyoko

206* CoolBigSis: As noted above, she takes on something of this role towards Suzuka.

269----
270* AnArmAndALeg: He lost his leg when he first went against Douman Ashiya, though the latter deduces it was intentional, as Jin deliberately escaped without so much of a retaliation in order to prepare himself for a rematch.
271* BadassTeacher: He's mostly content on spending his days as the main cast's homeroom teacher, but his history as a former Divine General means he can step up to stop powerful threats like Douman Ashiya if the principal wishes so.
272* BigDamnHeroes: Saves the group from Douman and eventually manages to defeat him with some help from Kogure.
273* CombatPragmatist: He admits that he's better suited for lying and bluffing, as well as exchanging minor attacks, so when going up against Douman, he knows that he can't win in raw power.

686
687Legendary Onmyouji who was once Abe no Semei's ancient rival during the Heian period. He also acquainted with Yakou Tsuchimikado and Kakgyouki.
688----
689* AlwaysSecondBest: Spent his entire life trying to best Abe no Seimei at anything involving sorcery.
690* BadassArmy: Can summon an army of fake Tsuchigumos. Just to remember, Suzuka could only control one. In the LN version, he summons and controls an army of hundreds of shikigami including several powerful Phase 3-4 spiritual disasters and his own personal Defense Shikigami. While he's simultaneously attacking two places, no less.
691* BloodKnight: Unlike most of the rivals here, he's purely having a fun time because he wanted to and has seen a lot.
692%%* BodySurf
693* BodyHorror: His head gets turned 180º degrees during his battle with Jin Ohtomo.
694* CoolCar: A limo, and then a black car. In both cases, he is driven around by a chauffeur, possibly a human-like familiar.
695* CoolShades: His signature trait are his red round sunglasses, which keeps in all his forms.
696* DefeatMeansFriendship: Following his defeat at the hands of Jin Ohtomo (with a little exorcising from Kogure), Douman drops the hostilities and offers to answer everything Jin asks. Later on, they also team up to take on the Onmyo Bureau, and eventually make a familiar pact, with Douman being the familiar.
697* DemonicPossession: He posses human corpses, and when his senior citizen body his destroyed in an explosion, he simply switches to that of a young boy.
698* TheDreaded: His mere presence in the story is enough to believe that the Onmyo Agency was going for ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill during the fight. [[OhCrap No, that is actually his full power, and he takes at least]] [[MoreDakka three absurdly powerful spells]] to the face before almost dying.
699* ElementalRockPaperScissors: Uses this to effortlessly counterspell Jin Ohtomo in their Elemental Balance duel. Take note that Jin's last elemental charm was boost by 3x it's normal power thanks to him activating a long chain of several Mutual Generations.[[note]]A fairly complex magic cycle where each non opposing element powers up the next one in succession to due a symbolic relationship. i.e. water->wood->fire etc. You get the idea[[/note]]
700* EnfanteTerrible: Following his fight with Jin, his body is destroyed. He later reappears as a child, his distinguishing traits being the large red shades and his use of "washi" pronouns.
701* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's surprisingly honorable for being such a dastard.
702* EvilOldFolks: As experienced and long-lived as he is, it comes as no surprise when he delivers one of the most climatic battles in the story against Jin. The Divine Generals are constantly on edge because of the threat that he poses.
703* {{Expy}}: His role as an undead ancient onmyouji who is ridiculously hard to defeat brings memories of [[Literature/TeitoMonogatari Yasunori Kato]], although he is really based on the historical Douman Ashiya.
704* GigglingVillain: Everything seems fun to him, even dying.
705%%* GoodOldWays
706* GracefulLoser: When defeated, Douman was willing to answer anything the winner (Jin) asked. He is cut short by an explosion that destroys his body, but later reappears as a child to continue where he left off.
707* HeKnowsTooMuch: And that's why Hirata Atsune[=/=]Takiko Souma explodes him. Doesn't work.
708* HistoricalDomainCharacter: He is based in an ancient real life onmyouji who rivaled Abe no Seimei.
709* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: The real Douman Ashiya is a minor character in the history of Japan compared to Seimei, and some sources even say outright that he was a phony instead a real sorcerer like him, but this incarnation of him is someone to fear and definitely ''not'' a phony.
710%%* LivingLegend
711* NotQuiteDead: He's actually a ghoul, and can simply take possession of a body when the old one is destroyed.
712* OminousVisualGlitch: The first time he appears, the screen is covered with static.
713* PhysicalGod: He is a possible theorized Phase 5 Spiritual Disaster called an "Ara Mitama" [[note]]A godlike being can also defined as spiritual disasters in the view of modern magic (aka General Onmyoudou) according to Ohtomo[[/note]], but he has been able keep his human ego by suppressed his consciousness at Phase 3 by utilizing human corpses as vessels.
714* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Since he's the real life historical Douman Ashiya he'd actually be around 1000 years old!
715* RasputinianDeath: Beaten by Jin Ohtomo, partially exorcised by a large ritual, thrown off a building into a car, struck by a SwordBeam from Zenjirou Kogure and is caught in an explosion from a bomb planted by Hirata/Takiko Souma. Subverted twice in that he survives due to his undead state.
716* TheRival: To Abe no Seimei from ancient times. This rivalry runs so deep that when confronted by a worthy foe like Jin, he can't help but reminisce about it.
717* SunglassesAtNight: Often wears sunglasses even at night.
718* WildCard: We were lead to believe that he worked in tandem with the Twin Horned Syndicate to spread natural disasters. In reality, he's on nobody's side but his own as the only thing he really cares about anymore is sorcery. His attack on Onmyo Academy is just a request from his disciple to retrieve the Raven's Wing, and he couldn't care less about it.
719* WorthyOpponent: To Jin Ohtomo after his defeat.
720* {{Youkai}}: He ceased being human eons ago due to his obsession with magic and became a mobile disaster[[note]]a spiritual disaster that can move[[/note]] classified as a Type-Ogre.
