  • The Caligula: He shows no care for the refugees being desperate to enter Gallia for shelter and food, only seeing them as a group of Invading Refugees that might still his resources. To Gallia city itself, he doesn't have an interest in improving the quality and architecture, as he only cares about investing in his army to grow in power.
  • Call-Back: Prince Joseph recalls the events of what had happened in the Graile War at chapter 121, so that Pope Balmus could find a way to compensate him for the damages caused.
  • Improperly Paranoid: In chapter 99, Prince Joseph has a strong fear of Gallia being looted by refugee commoners desperate to enter the city, so he resorts to closing all entrances. Even though Prince Joseph invested most his money at his military, he still fears the refugees being a problem that isn't worth dealing with inside Gallia.
  • Invading Refugees: Defied. Expecting that the refugees who have lost their homes from the third Wave of Catastrophe will raid Gallia of its resources, Prince Joseph had the gates of his city be closed to keep the commoner refugees out.
  • Virtue Is Weakness: To look down upon Princess Melty's qualifications to rule in chapter 121, he targets on her virtuous beliefs as a problem that can make her too stubborn in wanting to uphold them at the cost of people's lives not being governed efficiently.

  • Chekhov's Gunman: He gets introduced in chapter 100 as a knight wandering around a shop in Gallia and Mein sees him as a Dumb Muscle that has No Sense of Direction to find where his captain is.

  • Dumb Muscle: He has no clue on where to find his captain and instead went inside of a shop to go ask the shopkeeper for better directions.

    Caesar Streibough 

Caesar Streibough

Debut: Chapter 101/Chapter 86: Departure

Origin: Live A Live

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/streibough_cotc_artwork.png

  • Bullying a Dragon: He has been talking down on Mein's journey of pilgrimage towards going to Faubley and her supposed status as a commoner making the goal of standing an equal to the Legendary Heroes as an impossible dream. By chapter 103 where they are alone with no witnesses, Mein reveals her status as Aldrecht's student and the real latent potential of her powers to prove herself to be better than Streibough in everyway, just so he would stop badmouthing and making threats towards her.
  • Cassandra Truth: Streibough has gotten himself in a lot of wrong conclusions on Naofumi and Malty's identities, but he finally gets their true selves correctly in chapter 107. Though Streibough is wrong about a few facts, he still makes a detailed deduction on what led to Malty and Naofumi to hide in Graile. As accurate as Streibough was of his correct answer, Oersted doesn't quickly believe him, as he sees Siesta as a woman that can't possibly be a Legendary Hero.
  • "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: A complaint Streibough pouts about in chapter 107 upon learning that Mein and Naofumi were actively trying to escape the Three Heroes Church, is that all the times he has had to escort them to their pilgrimage was a lie and a waste of time.
  • Death Equals Redemption: Having spent his time bickering to his allies about the rebellion at Graile being dangerous, and making gambles of his conclusions on Sophia and Siesta's real identities, Streibough dies a hero in chapter 110, as he intends to take all the Three Heroes Church army to prove himself as not a footnote to be forgotten about.
    Streibough: I. will. Not... End As Someone ELSE'S FOOTNOTE!
  • Death Glare:
    • Not finished in his investigation of Sophia's abnormally strong magical prowess from the [Hydro Sphere] fired at an ash creature, Streibough glances a glare at her at the beginning of chapter 103 to make it clear that he will be watching her.
    • He gives off a venomous glare to Malty for not allowing him to escape Graile in its chaotic rebellion and using his apprentice of Lady Sheffield to both mock his weakness and give him an excuse to stay.
  • Destroy the Evidence: In chapter 103, he burns down a stone building containing evidence and factual knowledge that could introduce new Cultists than the ones they had to deal with.
  • Digging Yourself Deeper: Streibough in all of his attempts to expose Malty that she really isn't Mein is that he accidentally reveals information that should have not been shared with everyone. Information such as having secretly intimidated her, and her status as a commoner ends up what makes Streibough out as an unreasonable Jerkass to his allies.
  • Disney Villain Death: He gets the Three Heroes Church army and Sister Amelia to be killed in the earthquake fissures he created to have all be falling to their deaths in chapter 110.
  • Dude, Where's My Respect?: Streibough in his introduction wanted to use his status as a student of Lady Sheffield as a way to garner respect from others, despite being a Jerkass to Mein and being commoner with no noble relation to boost himself up the social ladder.
  • Dying Moment of Awesome: After all the times Streibough showed himself as nothing more than a rude Jerkass to everyone in his rebellion, he goes off giving a Disney Villain Death to Sister Amelia and her army of church knights to die in a way where he is not forgotted.
  • Earthquakes Cause Fissures: Using his staff, Streibough causes an earthquake where the ground starts splitting in half, as so he could get the Three Heroes Church and Sister Amelia to fall upon their deaths at chapter 110.
  • Enemy Mine: He has been bickering Sophia (Mein in disguise) of her status as a commoner being unable to at all rival the importance of the Legendary Heroes, but Streibough puts aside his differences with her to work together in chapter 102 to freeze up the cultists.
  • Entertainingly Wrong: After learning from Sophia that she is the student of Aldrecht, which by means should outrank him, because of the superior magical skills she displayed. When he confronts Mein of who she really is again in chapter 104, Streibough claims her and Naofumi to both from House Okami, when the two of them have no connection to Streibough's conclusion.
  • Heroic BSoD: Using up an ice spell in chapter 109 to freeze up the multiple Siege Engines drains Streibough of his mana well enough that he begins plotting a sneaky escape to not let himself be a target in his tired state.
  • Heroes' Frontier Step: Him performing a Taking You with Me Heroic Sacrifice onto the last Three Heroes Church army in chapter 110 cements Streibough that is someone heroic to Mein, despite all the previous interactions portraying him as an arrogant Jerkass being Entertainingly Wrong in exposing Mein and Naofumi's identities.
  • Humiliation Conga: Any time he were to directly speak with Sophia to insult her potential as a commoner, Malty would try to find a way to bring his ego against him, or that Streibough's ego in his attempts to actively expose Sophia's real identity only makes a fool of himself.
  • Hypocritical Humor: He calls Siesta a fake commoner in chapter 107, because she looks too ugly to be one, causing Streibough to conclude that Siesta is a man. In how Streibough calls Siesta a commoner, he says it with racist undertones, yet is unaware that he himself is a commoner.
  • An Ice Person: He utilizes a magic called [Silver Freeze] as an ice spell he learned to freeze the ash creature that Mein has incased in her [Hydro Sphere].
  • Innocently Insensitive: Downplayed. Streibough has been generally rude to everyone he has interacted and more so to Mein, but he manages to unintentionally insult her by scolding Oersted for his lack of historical knowledge.
    Streibough: You'd have known it too, if you bothered to read the history books between your training lessons.
    Mein: (Mein can't help but feel her own face burn up a little. She's also guilty of sleeping through most of her history lessons.)
  • Insufferable Genius: Streibough possesses knowledge on being capable of performing ice magic from the lessons learned from Lady Sheffield and can deduce Sophia's abnormally strong magical powers to deconstruct her Secret Identity. However, at the same time, Streibough is is smug of using his status as Lady Sheffield's student to boost his commoner status and slander what Sophia's hopes for being comparable to the Legendary Heroes.
  • Jerkass: To Mein (under the disguise of Sophia of Totela), Streibough doesn't see her of anything worth praise and sees that her meeting Prince Joseph is a waste of time. In his interactions with Sophia or Siesta (secretly Naofumi in disguise), Streibough's insults involve dismissing them as insignificant people unworthy of his attention to do his supposed more important duties.
  • Kill It with Ice: While a creature is incased inside of Mein's [Hydro Sphere], Streibough uses his [Silver Freeze] magic to leave the creature immobile from attacking anyone.
  • Laser-Guided Karma:
    • For all his belittling and ego to assert that his duties are far more important than what Siesta and Sophia are doing for their pilgrimage, Sophia puts him in his place by revealing herself to have been a student of Aldrecht. Alongside Sophia being a student of Aldrecht, the battle mage of Melromarc, she has superior magical prowess that is able to shut Streibough's mouth from attempting to ever insult her or make threats to expose her real identity.
    • Streibough receives another karma attack again in chapter 105, as by attempting to expose Malty and Naofumi's identities via claiming them to be members of House Okami, Streibough gets the attention of the demi-humans to point weapons at him. When the situation is calmed down, Streibough is given "The Reason You Suck" Speech by Uranus for his inability to respect others' privacy and his overblown ego.
    • He gets himself in a position of humiliation, as his attempt to sneak away from Graile's rebellion causes Malty to order Biggo around to restrain him from leaving the revolution.
  • Loose Lips:
    • Strebough just can't seem to stop himself from deliberately insulting Sophia and making a pursuit to uncover her real identity, even though the conclusions he blurts out are always wrong and leads him to a path of trouble.
      • He accidentally spills out Mein claiming herself to be Lady Sheffield's student for her magical prowess in chapter 107, but Streibough revealing that information to his allies only makes him out as a rude escorter that can't seem to understand what privacy means.
  • The Millstone: He is a member of the Gallian knight group tasked with assisting Siesta and Sophia to their destination to reach Faubly, as so their pilgrimage is complete. Yet despite the orders Streibough was given, all he does is complain at making Sophia look insignificant to his goals and makes an active effort to pursue her real identity, even when Streibough is told by others to respect Sophia's privacy.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: Downplayed. The only threat he poses to Mein and Naofumi is him acting as a self-centered jerk making an active effort to expose their real identities. In the end, all of Streibough's guesses as to what their real identities are always Entertainingly Wrong. Chapter 107, however, has Streibough be finally taken seriously of his accusation that the real identities of Siesta and Sophia are the Shield Hero and Princess Malty, making Streibough a genuine threat.
  • Out-Gambitted: Chapter 107 has Streibough make the claim that Sophia and Siesta are secretly Princess Malty and the Shield Hero in disguise. Though Streibough manages to get Naofumi to reveal his true identity, he fails to do the same to Malty. Streibough's efforts to debunk her identity as being too smart for a commoner gets instantly thrown back at him by Malty's well-thought out backstory as to how Mein of Samphor would be smart.
  • Overly-Nervous Flop Sweat: He starts sweating profusely from Mein successfully revealing his blunder that he secretly interrogated her Secret Identity in chapter 107.
  • Rebellious Rebel: Subverted. Mein, watching him approach the Three Heroes Church army in chapter 110, she panics believing Streibough is going to sell out the rebellion to save his own skin. As it turns out, however, Streibough instead pulls out a Heroic Sacrifice by unleashing an earthquake spell to send the Three Heroes Church and himself to death.
  • Right for the Wrong Reasons:
    • In chapter 105, he is correct in his assumption that the Legendary Heroes summoned to protect Medea are nothing more than clueless people, but for the current Shield Hero being Naofumi Iwatani to have been responsible in bringing an outer goddess is wrong. As it turns out, the truth was actually Lautrec that summoned his goddess with malicious intent, and Naofumi was framed for the act.
    • After spending quite a bit of time making wrong guesses of Malty and Naofumi's true identities, Streibough finally succeeds in inference in chapter 107. Streibough may have gotten the correct answer, but a few information of his precise theory is wrong. A main one Mein is able to latch onto is Streibough assuming King Aultcray wanted to protect the Shield Hero and Malty, except Aultcray was only focused on Malty and hated the Shield Hero.
    • Out of either his paranoia or extreme cynicism in chapter 107, Streibough manages to get into a conclusion that Mein had planned to get him and his Gallian knights killed in a fight against the Cultist, so as to allow for herself and Naofumi to escape.
  • Running Gag: His attempts to call out Malty's real identity has backfired on his face several times and he always get the conclusion wrong so bad, that Malty can't take him seriously anymore.
  • Sadist: He temporarily becomes a Smug Smiler to take a silent glee at Naofumi hurting himself to find a Loophole Abuse in learning how to fight without his shield in chapter 107.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Streibough after feeling tired of performing [Silver Freeze] at the Siege Engines in chapter 109, he tries to sneak off of the rebellion, but ends up getting captured by Biggo and Malty for his attempted escape.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: He sees himself as some sort of great and important person for his connections as a student of Lady Sheffield, when he is just a commoner with an overblown ego.
  • Smart Jerk and Nice Moron: Downplayed. Streibough isn't exactly bright, since his attempts to expose Sophia and Siesta's identities always lead him to the wrong conclusion. However, Streibough does have magical knowledge and smarts to know well enough that Siesta and Sophia are not who they say they are. Where as Oersted chooses to act cordial with Siesta and Sophia, despite lacking any awareness at the political spectrum, Streibough's frequent nose-picking always lans him as a Smug Snake getting a Humiliation Conga.
  • Smug Smiler:
    • He releases a smile of smugness in chapter 105 to take a jab at Sophia's plan to impersonate Princess Malty, but fails to realize that Sophia is Malty, and he just so happened to anger her like all of their previous interactions.
    • Another arrogant smile of his appears in chapter 107, as he smirks at seeing the misfortune Naofumi is going through to perform a Loophole Abuse without his shield.
  • Spotting the Thread: He notices that there is more to Sophia than what she reveals to everyone, since because she is capable of using [Hydro Sphere] without much effort that can be compared to nobles with a strong level of magic, Streibough is able to deduce that Sophia is not exactly a pilgrim in chapter 102.
  • Taking You with Me: At how Streibough chooses to go out in chapter 110, he unleashes an earthquake of his vicinity while approaching the Three Heroes Church army and Sister Amelia to get them all killed, including himself at the shattered ground of his earthquake.
  • Too Clever by Half: Streibough likes to gloat about the knowledge of his magical capabilities and is prone to making attempts at either insulting Sophia or trying to find ways to expose her real identity. In the end, all Streibough does is by making himself The Load of his team members by being unable to remain cooperative, and he is hit with Laser-Guided Karma each time he tries to expose Sophia's identity.
  • Villainous Breakdown: Downplayed as he is more of a Jerkass to Naofumi and Malty. Streibough undergoes a breakdown in chapter 107 from being Out-Gambitted of his desperate attempts to get Malty to admit that Mein of Samphor is not real, and that she is actually a princess in disguise.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: At all the times he has interacted with Oersted, Streibough is always dismissal of his goals to save people and has vented out his complaints over not being the one to spend time with Princess Alethia. In a sudden twist of events at chapter 110, Streibough shows his more heroic side that saves everyone from the Three Heroes Church by sacrificing himself with the thought of not wishing to die as someone else's stepping stone.
  • You Are What You Hate: Streibough claims Siesta to be too ugly-looking for her to be commoner in chapter 107, yet is not able to realize that he himself is also a commoner that only has superior intelligence because of his status as Lady Sheffield's student.

    Viktor Oersted 

Victor Oersted

Debut: Chapter 101/Chapter 86: Departure

Debut: Live A Live

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/oersted_artwork.png

  • Accidental Misnaming: Referring to Consevatie's men being distracted by Bed-Chan, Oersted makes a mistake in referring to Bed-Chan as "Bed Chain" in chapter 132, due to not understanding the Japanese nickname Naofumi gave the Bed of Chaos.
  • Ask a Stupid Question...: He comments a question in chapter 105 that is the best option to leave Graile is to dig everyone out of Nagumo's dojo tunnel. Uranus, in response, answers that Oersted's idea wouldn't work, since it would take months or years to create a tunnel to exit out of Graile.
  • Big "NO!": Oersted yells out his Big "NO!" as a refusal to not let Uranus sacrifice himself inside of the sewers for everyone's safety in chapter 120.
  • Bound and Gagged: Oersted's mouth is temporarily gagged from screaming in chapter 104, so as to not alert Sister Amelia from going after him and Mein.
  • Chronic Hero Syndrome: He is always eager to help someone in need when he can, but being unable to do so or not having treated someone, such as Naofumi with proper respect under his guise as Siesta of Totela can cause Oersted to feel ashamed of himself.
  • Comically Missing the Point: Hearing Mein and Uranus enter into a speak about pilgrimage destinations, Oersted is left confuse of what they are talking about in chapter 113, instead of coming to the fact where they are talking in Spy Speak to prevent anyone from understanding their real motives.
  • Death Seeker: To feel honored and be respectful towards the deaths of Streibough and Uranus, Oersted seeks the chance in which he pulls out a Heroic Sacrifice, or go alongside dangerous with Mein and Naofumi, so he can die in a way that can feel like he lived he duty of a hero.
  • Declaration of Protection: Whether Naofumi and Mein lies about their false identities to progress their goals, Oersted is willing to look past their lies to view them as great heroes that need protection against the Three Heroes Church and all threats, so they can all have a chance in saving everyone in Medea.
    • Knowing Mein will be the center of attention when she speaks her voice in the identity of Princess Malty, Oersted promises Naofumi that he and Streibough will lay down their lives for anyone attempting to assassinate her in chapter 108.
  • Determined Expression: As he says his Declaration of Protection to keep Mein safe at all cost when she makes her speech being Princess Malty in chapter 108, Oersted wears a serious expression to bring confidence to his promise.
  • Flaming Sword: He sets his sword ablaze with Sacred Fire to better cut down the skeletons attacking him, Mein, and Naofumi in chapter 122.
  • Hammer Hilt: One of the church guards in Balafon gets knocked out by Oersted using the hilt on of his sword to smack their head in chapter 132.
  • Hand Behind Head: To deal with the awkwardness that Siesta is actually a man and the Shield Hero, Oersted scrubs his head with his hand in chapter 107.
  • Horrible Judge of Character: Oersted sees Streibough as a loyal friend he can trust to go adventures, and protect Sophia and Siesta for their pilgrimage, but is blind to what Jerkass behavior may be. For all of Streibough's complaints and hatred towards him regarding Princess Alethia, Oersted only sees such behaviors as character quirks that can be tolerated and overcome with time.
  • It's All My Fault: For not realizing that Naofumi is a man and the Shield Hero, alongside Mein being an important companion to him, Oersted apologizes to the both of them for not treating them with enough respect as an escorter. To Mein and Naofumi, they both thank him for his fair and loyal attitude, as Oersted did nothing wrong for being respectful to people he doesn't know about.
  • Knight in Shining Armor: During the midst of a riot in chapter 104, Oersted's thoughts are to find ways to save the innocent people of Graile from getting enslaved by the rogue knights.
  • Meaningful Look: When asked by Mein in chapter 113 to respond on how he feels, Oersted tries to keep a happy mood with a smile, but it is mainly to hide his grief from Mein over what happened to Graile and Streibough's death.
  • More Expendable Than You: Believing Naofumi and Mein to be the most important people to protect, because they were promised to be escorted by him, Oersted sees his value as inferior to them, which motivates his desire to be the first person to volunteer in the most dangerous missions as a way to honor them.
  • Not Quite the Right Thing: Implied. Not knowing how to help Mein out of her Heroic RRoD and heart problems after the Graile war, Uranus' stare at his face, as if wanting a suggestion to help Mein. In response, it looks as though Oersted wanted to give Mein a Healing Potion for her heart problems in his mind, but ended up feeling ashamed for his lack of knowledge, due to Naofumi and Uranus discussing the side effects of potions.
  • Obviously Not Fine: Losing his friend Streibough from the Graile War, Oersted tries to keep the grief to himself to continue remaining heroic for his remaining companions, but it is clear that Oersted's sadness is affecting how he displays himself around others.
  • Rage Breaking Point: Spending sometime in a Silence of Sadness to ponder over Streibough's death in the Graile war, Oersted ditches his self-loathing to enter in a state of fury to get revenge on Roger for attacking Uranus in chapter 118.
  • Sacred Fire: Oersted uses special flames considered to be holy, and has his sword be enlightened by it to effectively fight off the undead skeletons in chapter 122.
  • Senseless Sacrifice: Defied. He tries to confront Vicar Vittorio at the latter's camp alone in chapter 117 to stop anyone from risking their lives, but Mein grabs his back to hold him from pointlessly throwing his life away.
  • Silence of Sadness: The death of Streibough in the aftermath of the Graile war effects Oersted to be much less talkative to anyone and keeps his grieving emotions to himself, not thinking outside of what is happening to reality.
  • Smart Jerk and Nice Moron: Downplayed. Oersted isn't dumb, but he lacks knowledge in understanding political games that can easily get him manipulated into unfortunate situations. At the same time, however, he is the nice escorter that always treats Siesta and Sophia with respect, despite not making any active pursuits to know them. Streibough, meanwehile, is an Insufferable Genius of his status as Lady Sheffield's student, and constantly makes attempts to expose Sophia and Siesta's identities, much to their content.
  • Sole Survivor: Of the Gallian escorters that stuck around with Malty and Naofumi, Oersted remains as the last one still stand, while the latter's other comrades being Streighbough and Uranus were killed by their enemies.
  • Survivor Guilt: Streibough and Uranus dying to fend off a large number of enemies, Oersted is left feeling guilt of his survival, believing he should have been the one to die as an honorable hero.
  • Stepford Smiler: Mein, looks at Oersted in chapter 113 to see how he is feeling after the Graile war and Streibough's death. To respond to Mein's worries, Oersted gives her a tired smile, but Mein can see through the expression to have a deeper look into his depression.
  • Taking the Bullet:
    • He attempts to shield Mein with his body from Sir Dillon's explosion in chapter 103, but is beaten to the act by Sir Antonio being the one that acts as the shield.
    • He manages a successful pull of the trope by running towards Malty to shield hero from an incoming [Lightning Spear] that could have potentially shut off her chances to be the Voice of the Resistance in chapter 108.
    • Right before a Trick Bomb of choking and blinding powder hits him and Uranus, Oersted pushes Uranus away to minimize himself as the only target to get hit in chapter 120.
  • Tap on the Head: By using the Hammer Hilt of his sword, the blunt force it took for him to hit a church knight knocked out the latter in chapter 132.
  • Unsettling Gender-Reveal: Downplayed. Oersted shows no romantic interest to Siesta, but to learn that she is a man and the Shield Hero in chapter 107, Oersted feels embarrassed for both failing to give respect and not noticing Naofumi's real gender.
  • Wide-Eyed Idealist: Oersted strongly sticks to his knightly ideals to save everyone, but is blind to the concept of the game of thrones and deceptions he can't see.
  • With Friends Like These...: For some reason, Oersted always sees Streibough as a trustworthy friend, even though the latter had no interest in following his goals, and is constantly insulting the people they have a duty to protect.

    Sir Dillon 

Sir Dillon

Debut: Chapter 102/Chapter 87: Ash to Ash

Origin: "Original Character"


  • All for Nothing: Sir Oersted and the Gallian knights spend their time in chapter 102 looking for answers as to what had happened to Sir Dillon. Once the knights find Sir Dillon, they were at first glad to see him fine, until Sir Dillon explodes himself to death.
  • Made of Explodium: After delivering a speech of the threat that the Gallian knights are facing a red crusade of fire and ash, Sir Dillon suddenly explodes in a ball of fire that releases poisonous ash onto Sir Antonio.
  • Poisonous Person: The explosion of his body transmit a poisonous ash that weakens Sir Antonio into being unable to properly respond to his fellow knights and puts him out of commission to escort Mein and Naofumi.
  • Surprisingly Sudden Death: Once he is encountered by his Gallian knights near the end of his introductory chapter, Sir Dillon suddenly explodes himself to death after delivering a message of the red crusade and ashes being the main threat.

Graile

    General 

  • Improvised Weapon: Graile's enslaved people are forced to pick out or make their own weapons in following Sister Amelia's orders to engage a battle in chapter 109 to stop a rebellion uprising to overthrow the Three Heroes Church.
  • La Résistance: A rebel group inside of Nagumo's dojo is formed with the goal to overthrow the Three Heroes Church from taking over Graile and to free the people in the city of the slave crests placed upon them by the church.
  • Non-Lethal Warfare: Downplayed. The revolution for Graile to take down the Three Heroes Church is bloody and riddled with corpses, but the Graile garrison soldiers fighting try to make the rebellion non-lethal to the enslaved people lacking the will to back out of the bloodshed.
  • Pyrrhic Victory: The battle for the commoners, garrisons, and demi-humans succeed in reclaiming Graile from the Three Heroes Church, but the cost was that lots of lives were lost in the revolution. At the aftermath, the lack of Captain Alderic means there is no team leader to build up any team spirit, and there is a need for food to be gathered, so as to stabilize any of the remaining survivors.

Debut: Chapter 104/Chapter 89: Riot at Graile

Origin: 秘石戦記ストーンバスター!


  • Accidental Pervert: He places his hand onto Satellizer's chest as a way to deactivate herself from being able to move her body, but Satellizer's Clothing Damage and the battle injuries sustained makes Nagumo look like a Dirty Old Man ogling her.
  • The Bait: Nagumo offers himself up and a few demi-human warriors in chapter 105 to perform an assault onto the northern gates of Graile, so that the rest of the people inside of his dojo are provided time to escape Graile by the southern gate.
  • Secret Underground Passage: Nagumo has a dojo that has an underground passage that he uses to lead Mein, Naofumi, and their knights into a room housing demi-human refugees.

    Minami 

Minami

Debut: Chapter 103/Chapter 88: Dark Tide Underneath (Mentioned), Chapter 104/Chapter 89: Riot at Graile

Origin: 秘石戦記ストーンバスター!


  • Chekhov's Gun: She wore a pendant in chapter 103 and the pendant got stolen by Captain Philippe. Later at chapter 104, she ends up being one of the people that lead Malty, Naofumi, and their knights into Nagumo's dojo to hide out. The pendant stolen is revealed in chapter 105 to have held great importance to House Okami as a great treasure known as the Moonstone of Fang King. With the pendant's great importance, it becomes a drive for Ken into a mission to retrieve it from Captain Philippe.
  • Green Thumb: Enchanting a magical gem to become the Jade of the Verdant Demon and wearing the gem provides her with the ability to create large roots in which she uses to organize The Siege in chapter 110.
  • Incompletely Trained: By not being trained to utilized the full potential of the Moonstone of Fang King, Ken wore the necklace for himself, and promises for Minami to eventually wield the necklace as her own once she is able to complete all her priestess training.
  • Magical Accessory: She enchanted a gem with her own magic that she learned, so that the gem itself could be used to give herself plant-based powers to assist in Graile's rebellion to stop more of El Bridget's army from getting inside the city.
  • The Siege: Minami uses her Green Thumb abilities granted to her by the Jade of the Verdant Demon to create tall roots that blocks out Graile's gate from letting anymore enemies get in. That way, the rebels are able to mellow down the enemy knights inside of Graile, before focusing on the ones outside.
  • Tongue-Out Insult: Played for Laughs. As she promises to be more diligent in her training and to be more careful of indulging in novels, Minami sticks out her tongue out at Ken to tease him a bit.
  • Transformation Trinket: The Moonstone of Fang King can grant her or any wearer of the pendant a transformation called the "Golden Wolf", but another condition to be met is that it only happens at night]].

Ken

Debut: Chapter 104/Chapter 89: Riot at Graile

Origin: 秘石戦記ストーンバスター!


  • Big Damn Heroes: Just as Naofumi finds a way to overwhelm the Siege Engines by dislocating them with his [Barrier], Ken arrives into the battlefield of the rebellion during the middle of chapter 109 by shredding down the Gallian knights in his wolf form.
  • Blinded by Rage: Invoked. Ken smirks in his taunting of Satellizer, as he wants her to know he has multiple chances to kill her, but is just going easy to humiliate her. Though Ken could be bluffing at the height of his strength, he uses his smug comments to enrage Satellizer into losing her focus in their fight.
  • Choke Holds: He grasps on Sophia's neck tightly under the assumption that she is a member of the Three Heroes Church because of the sister clothes she is wearing. Once Ken sees her identity for real, Ken releases his hold and warns Sophia to not dress like an enemy in front of him.
  • *Crack!* "Oh, My Back!": Played for Drama. Just before he gives Kazuya an Impaled with Extreme Prejudice with his clawed hands, Ken suddenly experiences a cramped back from Kazuya presumably using his magical abilities to hurt him from delivering the finishing blow.
  • Death Glare: In exchange for the loss of Minami's pendant, Ken gives Demetrius a glare, but mostly at the crazy fanatics of the Three Heroes Church for their reckless actions causing destruction.
  • Fearless Fool: He bravely promises his allies in chapter 105 that he will go out into the field of Graile to take back the Moonstone of Fang King taken that belonged to Minami. Though the action is noble, Nagumo forbids him from doing his act, since Ken would only endanger his life on the open fields of Graile with no achievement to be made.
  • Foil: To King Aultcray, both of them hold a strong hatred for the Shield Hero, and specifically, Naofumi Iwatani. The difference that sets out King Aultcray and Ken is that while the latter can keep his cool, despite having hatred for the previous Shield Hero that killed his family, Aultcray constantly makes rash decisions based on his improper paranoia.
  • I Am Not Left-Handed: Invoked. As parts of his I Shall Taunt You insults to anger Satellizer to be Blinded by Rage, Ken makes his claims that he could have easily killed her in situations she made herself vulnerable and is only going easy on her in chapter 110.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: He intends to shove his sharp claws right through Satellizer's body to finish her off, but fails to do so because of a *Crack!* "Oh, My Back!" given to him by Kazuya's intervention.
  • In the Back: Just before he could claw onto Satellizer's body in chapter 110 to conclude their battle, Ken receives an unexpected cramp in his back given to him by Kazuya not wanting him to hurt Satellizer in any way.
  • I Shall Taunt You: Ken delivers out his arrogant criticisms at Satellizer in their fight to fuel her rage into lacking focus, so that the dragged on battle can enable him into having clearer opportunities to finish her off.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: He has been mostly hotblooded in his sour mood over the lost of the Moonstone, and so he seeks to go onto the surface of Graile to get it. Though his decision is seen as stupid by his group members, Ken claiming that the group needs someone watching the Three Heroes Church at the surface is something that Mein agrees with doing.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Ken can be quite a loudmouth at expressing his bloodlust against the Three Heroes Church and anger at the Royal Family of Melromarc doing nothing in the chaos that happened to Graile. He is also impulsive in his blind plan to do whatever it takes to reclaim back the Moonstone of Sage King from Captain Philippe. However, beneath his aggressive exterior, he can be patient, as the actions he displayed to assist Sophia in scouting Graile in chapter 106 show to be quite patient in helping her keep up with him.
  • Luminescent Blush: He blushes out of embarrassment in chapter 106 from the realization that he attempted to break Sophia's neck, because she looked to be a church member enemy that discovered Nagumo's hideout.
  • Misplaced Retribution: Learning that Siesta is actually Naofumi Iwatani, the Shield Hero, Ken lashes out on him out of the belief that he is responsible for everything the Three Heroes Church did to Graile and for potentially becoming like the King of Rape. Ken, though angry, is at least reasonable enough to listen through Naofumi's full story on how he came to Graile, till chapter 107.
  • Mistaken Identity: Seeing someone be wearing a set of church clothes in chapter 106 at Nagumo's kitchen, Ken assumes the person to be an enemy he has to kill, so he chokes the person. It's only until Ken sees the bulging eyes of the person that he realizes it is Sophia of Totela, and he gives off a Luminescent Blush for hurting her.
  • Neck Snap: Ken almost gets Mein's neck broken in chapter 106, as her sister clothing of the Three Heroes Church had tricked him into thinking he had to kill an enemy.
  • Nighttime Transformation: In activating the Golden Wolf transformation granted by the Moonstone of Fang King, Ken wishes that the potential was utilized at night against the King of Rape to defend House Okami or have Minami wear the pendant in gaining the strength necessary to escape.
  • Noble Bigot: He doesn't like having to involve the humans such as Sophia, Siesta, and the Gallian knights to aid House Okami in overthrowing the Three Heroes Church, though he does cooperate with them until their goals are accomplished.
  • Offscreen Moment of Awesome: During chapter 108 and 109 of the rebellion, Ken was in another mission to retrieve the Moonstone of Fang King to empower himself when he later joins in the rebellion. During the main revolution, Ken pulls out his Big Damn Heroes moment in his newly acquired wolf form to show his success at having taken back the necklace from Captain Rose.
  • One-Man Army: The Gallian knights working for the Three Heroes Church are easily killed by Ken in his transformed state. No matter how muscular and powerful the knights displayed themselves beforehand in battling out the Graile soldiers, Ken has shredded the Gallian knights he has contacted with into running away.
  • Only a Flesh Wound: Ken is given a Torso with a View from a powerful stab given to him by Satellizer, but after awakening from his unconsciousness of the initial blood loss, he comes back in a fairly good shape to deliver a Theres No Kill Like Over Kill onto Kazuya and have a casual conversation with Minami.
  • Perpetual Frowner: His reaction to Minami's pendant getting taken away by a knight captain causes him to be always wearing a frown from the unfairness being thrown.
  • Power Makes Your Voice Deep: Justified. In his Wolf Man form granted to him by the Moonstone of Fang King, Ken's more muscular appearance gives him deeper vocal chords, in addition to having the strength to be a One-Man Army.
  • Sins of Our Fathers: Knowing that the previous Shield Hero, Mikage Mikami, was the one who ruined House Okami, Ken holds a strong hatred of anyone that is the Shield Hero, including Naofumi. Despite holding an initial dislike to learning that Siesta is actually the Shield Hero, Ken puts aside any of his animosity to work beside him in using his Shield Hero status to drive off the Three Heroes Church out of Graile.
  • Sir Swears-a-Lot: Learning the real identity of Siesta as the Shield Hero, Ken's short temper gives rise into making him curse at blaming Naofumi for potentially being the one that brought the Church of the Three Heroes to Graile.
  • Smarter Than They Look: Ken at first glance can be seen as a brash and hotheaded demi-human, but Mein's close inspection towards him in chapter 107 shows that Ken can be quite patient in analyzing Naofumi's reputation, despite holding a vendetta.
  • Smug Super: As he fights Satellizer in their battle, Ken taunts her by flaunting his great strength as a Wolf Man to make her be Blinded by Rage, and to also show off his superiority in being able to keep up.
  • There Is No Kill Like Overkill: As payback for Kazuya giving him a cramp from In the Back, he slashes Kazuya, who is only a child, that leaves him into shredded pieces of a corpse in chapter 110.
  • Torso with a View: Being unable to deliver a finishing blow to kill Satellizer, the latter shoves her giant blade inside of his body, which leaves an open whole for Ken. Despite the severe injury, Ken is only temporarily knocked out and he manages to recover himself by stitching his hole together.
  • Wolf Man: In his normal state, he is a demi-human with some animalistic traits attached to his mainly human body. Having the Moonstone of Fang King to transform, Ken is a humanoid wolf with buffed muscles efficient for combat.

  • Killed Offscreen: Implied. His death is not explicitly said, but because Ken started killing off many of the Three Heroes Church's knights after reclaiming back the Moonstone of Fang King in chapter 109, it can be inferred Captain Rose was the first of Ken's victims.
  • Worthless Yellow Rocks: Downplayed. From chapter 103, Philippe stole a penchant from Minami, as he rudely believes the jewel to be too valuable in the hands of a demi-human. Later in chapter 105, the pendant is actually the Moonstone of Fang King that is passed down from generations of the House Okami, meaning that Philippe underestimated the value of the pendant he stole.
