Voiced by: Ryoko Gi (Japanese), Jamie Marchi (English)^note

Debut: Chapter 82 (Manga), Episode 57 (Anime)

Magic Attribute: Blood

"I am the queen of this forest, the mother of all witches!"

The queen of the Forest of Witches, a Strong Magic Region where witches and familiars live. She has overwhelming magical power and can foresee the future with high accuracy. The Witch Queen is said to have lived for hundreds of years, and she has knowledge of ancient magic that no one knows and can use it. She considers herself perfect and is arrogant and ruthless. The Witch Queen has imprisoned her daughter Vanessa for a long time to awaken her power to change fate.

She uses Blood Magic, able to congeal blood into different constructs and perform great feats of healing.

Abusive Mom: A textbook case. She gave her daughter an Impossible Task, locked her in a cage until she accomplished it and often calls her imperfect. Then she tricks Asta into nearly killing Vanessa's friends, eventually forcing Vanessa to unleash her Red Thread of Fate magic and thwart her.
Animal Eye Spy: She can see through the eyes of any crow in the Forest of Witches.
Animal Motif: Her character revolves around crows. Everything from appearance to personality. She even moves around by assuming the form of a murder of crows. And she's a cunning, opportunistic woman who only helps the Magic Knights to save her country from invaders, fully intent on betraying them afterwards.
Arc Villainess: She serves as the main antagonist of the Forest of Witches Arc. Although there are many threats such as Fana and Ladros, she is the last one the Black Bulls face and by far the most dangerous.
The Atoner: After accepting defeat towards the end of her arc, she heals everyone, gives Asta her magic earring and allows Vanessa to return to the forest as a way of atoning for her misdeeds.
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: When Vanessa undoes her magic with her Red Thread of Fate, telling her that they have no bonds, the Witch Queen remembers her past loving relationship with her daughter, realizing that she had forgotten that there's strength gained from imperfect feelings and gracefully accepts defeat. When Vanessa leaves the forest the Witch Queen tells her that she's free and can come back to visit whenever she'd like, with Vanessa grateful for her healing Asta and considering returning someday, showing that their mother-daughter relationship can be mended.
Bad Boss: The Witch Queen tends to kill any witch who has a relationship with a man. She'll also punish those who have returned to the forest, as Vanessa finds out the hard way.
Bad Samaritan: If she ever agrees to help you, even if such help is clearly in her best interests, you will live to regret it.
Berserk Button:
- Anything that does not fit her views of perfection can send her flying into a rage, whether it would be Vanessa or her friends.
- She does not tolerate betrayal from her followers. If you leave the forest and come back, she will make every effort to try and kill you. If you form a relationship with any man she doesn't approve of, may God have mercy on your soul.
Blood Magic: Combined with People Puppets. Her magic is the manipulation of blood, and she can use it to control people.
Bloody Murder:
- She can create a pool of blood that forms crucifixes to pin targets to.
- The Witch Queen can also form a giant scythe out of blood.
Bright Is Not Good: Despite having a green uniform and pink hair, she's a merciless villain.
Broken Pedestal: She becomes one to her daughter, Vanessa Enoteca. As a child, Vanessa tried to impress her with her magical powers. Once she joined the Black Bulls, Vanessa became resentful of what her mother put her through and accepted the Black Bulls as her family. She disowns the Witch Queen shortly before she gains the Red Thread of Fate.
Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: She is willing to have Asta and his friends fend off the Diamond Kingdom and the Eye of the Midnight Sun. However, she's doing it for her own purposes and ultimately pits Asta against his friends.
Contralto of Strength: Has a noticeable deep voice courtesy of Ryoko Gi, and is an extremely powerful witch who opposes her daughter and her friends.
Creepy Crosses: She uses her magic to form a large pool of blood from which crosses arise to crucify Vanessa and her friends, taking control of Asta and having him kill them while they're restrained.
Curb-Stomp Battle:
- In her introduction, the Queen effortlessly knocks down Vanessa offscreen when the latter reunites with her as well as Asta when he tries to cover for Vanessa.
- She ends up on the receiving end when she tries using Blood Magic on her daughter, only for Rouge to dispel her magic.
Crystal Ball: She wields one, which she can foresee future events as well as helping Asta defeat the invaders from the Diamond Kingdom and the Eye of the Midnight Sun.
Dark Is Evil: Her dress is colored green-and-black and is a particularly nasty character. While even most of the villains have some kind of Freudian Excuse, no matter how flimsy it is, she just prefers doing things in the most damaging manner possible, for little to no reason. Well, until she is defeated by Rouge at least.
Defeat Means Respect: She begins to act like a true queen in Chapter 101, giving Asta and the others their due reward for saving her people as a direct result of losing to Vanessa.
Does Not Like Men: Her hatred of the male gender is so acute that not only is she researching magic to make her people a One-Gender Race, but she treats any of her followers who have relations with any man that she doesn't approve of as a full-blooded traitor, meriting only execution.
Drink-Based Characterization: Her volume profile states that one of her favorite things is red wine, fitting with her being a sophisticated queen.
Dynamic Entry: For all her flaws, the lady sure knows how to make an entrance.
Entitled Bitch: She thinks that by forcing Vanessa to awaken her magic, it automatically makes her entitled to have it for herself. After the Red Thread of Fate magic is formed, the Witch Queen proceeds to kill Vanessa. The magic, however, disagrees.
Establishing Character Moment: The Queen shows her ferocity by taunting Vanessa about running away from the Forest of Witches to be with Yami, and later stomps on her daughter's face when the latter tries bargaining with her on how to dispel ancient hexes.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Given her sympathetic reaction when she finally sets Vanessa free at the end of the Forest of Witches Arc, it turns out that the Queen deeply loves her daughter.
Evil Matriarch: She's the Queen of the Forest of Witches as well as the mother and ancestor of all witches, and either has no redeeming features or keeps them very well hidden. Well, until the aftermath of the Diamond Kingdom's invasion at least.
Facial Markings: She has some blue "water drop" markings under her eyes.
Fantasy-Forbidding Mother: She locked up a young Vanessa, her own daughter, in a cage until her "divination" that said daughter gain the magic of manipulating fate itself with her strings, and forces Asta to kill Vanessa's friends to make her "perfect divination" true.
The Fatalist: She strongly believes in her divinations, locking up her daughter in a cage for years because it stated that she would gain the power to control fate, and didn't bother trying to find her when she escaped because it said that she would someday return with what she wanted.
Femme Fatalons: Has long nails painted in dark blue, the same color as her lipstick, and is a cruel, manipulative queen.
Foil: To Lolopechka. Though they are both the queens of their respective countries, the Witch Queen is a selfish, cruel figure who tries to use the Black Bulls for her own ends while Lolopechka is a kind, caring young woman who allies with the Magic Knights after testing them. Asta even thinks of the Witch Queen when first hearing that the Heart Kingdom is ruled by a queen, but it's later subverted when revealed that Lolopechka isn't actually an evil queen.
The Force Is Strong with This One: To say that the Queen is endowed with a huge and monstrous amount of pure mana to the point that even Noelle is being overwhelmed with her mere presence would be pure understatement. She even proves to be able to use her very powerful healing magic over the whole forest with so much naturalness and little effort.
God Save Us from the Queen!: The Witch Queen is one of the series' nastiest villains. That is, until her Heel–Face Turn at the end of the Forest of Witches Arc.
Graceful Loser: After suffering a subdued Villainous Breakdown when Vanessa's Red Thread of Fate defeats her, the Witch Queen calmly realizes that she has forgotten some things about her quests to strive for perfection, accepts defeat, heals everyone and ultimately tells Vanessa that she can return to the forest as she pleases.
Green and Mean: She wears a green dress and hat and is the main villain of the Forest of Witches Arc, trying to kill the Black Bulls after the Diamond Kingdom is dealt with.
"Groundhog Day" Loop: Vanessa uses her Red Thread of Fate magic to trap the Queen in one to rescue Noelle and Finral. She has a Delayed Reaction when the loop begins to repeat.
Healing Hands: Her Blood Magic is extremely powerful at healing, easily dispelling Asta's curse and restoring his crushed arms.
Heal It with Blood: She has extremely powerful Blood Recovery Magic able to dispel ancient curses and restore shattered bone, with Vanessa asking her to heal Asta's cursed arms.
Heel–Face Turn: By the end of the Forest of Witches Arc, she decides to become a better queen by first healing everyone and then giving the Black Bulls their reward for saving her people.
Heel Realization: After being defeated by Rouge, the Queen realizes she's in the wrong about her attempts to control destiny and is visibly distraught.
High-Heel Power: The Witch Queen wears green heels with her dress and is an incredibly powerful mage, running her overwhelming magic throughout the forest and able to use extremely powerful spells, with even Noelle freezing in fear when she exerts her magical power. Her heel is emphasized when she digs it into Vanessa's head while stepping on her after having beaten her daughter.
Icy Blue Eyes: She has teal eyes and plans to obtain Vanessa's power by force through using Asta.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: The Witch Queen ultimately becomes a kinder ruler after Rouge defeats her.
Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: In Chapter 98, she openly thanks Asta for his efforts to protect her people from the Diamond Kingdom's armed invasion, where she was the "prize" they sought and praised his fighting prowess. This benevolence is very short lived.
Lady of Black Magic: She's the evil ruler of the Forest of Witches, wielding overwhelming amounts of mana and Blood Magic at her disposal.
Laser-Guided Karma: After the Witch Queen tried to force Vanessa to awaken her magic during her early life, she gets easily curb-stomped by said magic.
Like Mother, Unlike Daughter: The Witch Queen is an Evil Matriarch who doesn't like men and imperfection. Vanessa, on the other hand, is a hero who is willing to help others in need and often hangs around men.
Makeup Is Evil: One of the few women in the series seen wearing makeup, having dark blue lipstick, and tries to enslave her daughter and controls Asta to kill his friends.
Mama Bear: She will do anything against those that may harm her daughters. However, it's subverted with her relationship with Vanessa, whom the Queen often abused and locked up until she learned to control her magic. While she willingly let Vanessa go when Yami freed her, she resorts to beating the crap out of Vanessa when she asks her to heal Asta's arms to the point that she tries taking her magic for herself.
Ms. Exposition: She provides valuable intel regarding the Elf Tribe's history to the Black Bulls as well as where the anti-magic swords originated from.
Mum Looks Like a Sister: Despite being an ancient being, the ancestor of all witches, and Vanessa's mother, she doesn't look much older than her daughter.
My God, What Have I Done?: After the Witch Queen is utterly defeated, she shows genuine regret on how she forgot one thing in her quest for perfection: Vanessa could never have unlocked her true magic without the rest of her friends' support. Before Vanessa leaves, the Queen allows her to come back home whenever she feels like it as a form of apology.
Never My Fault: She never acknowledges that it's her own actions that caused Vanessa to be captured as well as Asta trying to kill the latter's friends, instead considering her actions as "fate". It quickly backfires on her after she's utterly defeated.
No-Sell: Try to use magic attacks against her and she'll just use her crows to nullify them.
Obviously Evil: Her very sinister personality, green-and-black dress and use of black crows all show that she's definitely not a good guy. At first.
Offing the Offspring: The Witch Queen attempts to kill Vanessa when she finally unleashes her Red Thread of Fate magic. It doesn't work.
One Bad Mother: She's a very dangerous witch who's the mother of Vanessa as well as all of the other witches in the forest.
The Perfectionist: The Witch Queen is obsessed with perfection, becoming angered that her daughter Vanessa leaving the Forest of Witches has made her plan to control fate imperfect and enraged that a witch, who she sees as perfect beings, would join a man. The Guidebook gives her a 5/5 in "Perfectionism". She utterly accepts her defeat when Vanessa manifests her Red Thread of Fate because of her unvarnished, imperfect feelings of love for the Black Bulls:
"Imperfect."
Pragmatic Villainy: She heals Asta's arms so that he can help stop the Eye of the Midnight Sun and Diamond Kingdom when they invade the Forest of Witches. It's later revealed that the blood she used to heal him can be used to control him, which she does after the threats have been defeated.
Principles Zealot: She's obsessed with perfection. To enforce her twisted view of it, she's willing to kill anyone and everyone that she thinks stands in her way, including her daughter and her daughter's friends.
Rank Scales with Asskicking: She is the most powerful witch, as expected from the ruler of the Forest of Witches, and unlocks Asta's latent anti-magic to defeat the Diamond Kingdom's invaders.
Really 700 Years Old: Despite looking like a young mother, she's actually a few centuries old. As such, the Diamond King, who is on the verge of death, has ordered Mars and Ladros to find the secret of her long life.
Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: When Vanessa unleashes her Red Thread of Fate spell, she saves Asta from killing Noelle and Finral, much to the Queen's silent dismay as she remembers what she said.
Royals Who Actually Do Something: As a ruler of the Forest of Witches, she commands her own army and is willing to attack intruders.
Sinister Scythe: She wields one formed from her own Blood Magic.
Shoot the Dog: She views killing off Vanessa as this, given she wants her daughter's magic for herself. The Red Thread of Fate disagrees.
Ungrateful Bitch: The people of Clover come to her kingdom's aid and stop the Diamond Kingdom's invasion. Yet the Queen enslaves Asta and forces him to try and kill them, along with the Diamond Kingdom invaders, even those who defected because their "loyalty" was due to mind control, brainwashing, or both. It doesn't work.
Vicariously Ambitious: Since she can't manipulate fate with magic, as she only "receive divinations", she forces her daughter to learn the magic instead.
Villainous Breakdown: After Vanessa uses her Red Thread of Fate to undo her magic, the Witch Queen briefly loses all sense of restraint and laments how impossible it is that her perfect magic cannot control her daughter. However, she soon realizes that Vanessa's power comes from the strength of imperfect feelings, which she had forgotten, and gracefully accepts her defeat.
Villain Teleportation: She uses this when she arrives at the battlefield to take control of Asta and have him kill his friends.
Wicked Witch: The Witch Queen with the classical outfit in green and black to match, and an evil figure who tries to enslave Asta and her daughter Vanessa as well as kill their friends.
The Worf Effect:
- A slightly roundabout one. Asta's arms, besides being completely shattered by the injuries he took from fighting Vetto, are also afflicted with ancient curse magic that even Owen, the Clover Kingdom's best healer can’t overcome. However, once she's convinced to do so, the Witch Queen breaks the curse and fixes up Asta's arms like it's nothing, proving that she's a serious heavy-hitter in the magic department. After learning some humility, she even provides Asta with a portable version of the spell to fix up Kiato and Kahono.
- She is in the receiving end of this by Paladin Damnatio who effortlessly takes her down when she tries to stop him from preventing Asta's return with her daughter Vanessa and Dorothy Unsworth. Despite her power, she is no match for a Paladin empowered by a purified Supreme Devil Baal.
You Can't Fight Fate: A literal example. During Chapters 99 and 100, there are strong hints that she was indeed being controlled by some outside power or influence, as she became more and more distraught, not only at the outcome, but at her own words and actions, constantly going "Did I really do this?" or "Did I really say that?" in response to some despicable act that was blocked by Vanessa's new "Red Thread of Fate" magic.
You Can't Go Home Again: Invoked by her when her fellow witches leave the forest; if they do return to the forest, she will have to punish them for it. However, she does make an exception at the end of the Forest of Witches Arc when she tells Vanessa to come back to the Forest as she wishes.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: A subverted example. Once Asta and his friends help thwart the Diamond Kingdom's invasion of the Forest of Witches, she decides to have Asta kill everyone there (including Vanessa). It doesn't work thanks to Vanessa's newly-manifested Red Thread of Fate magic awesomely foiling the Queen's plans.
You Remind Me of X: Asta's fighting style and use of the five leaf clover grimoire had her convinced Asta was related to "them". Powerful anti-magic warriors that she holds in high esteem. She was visibly downcast when she realized he's just incapable of using magic... until she realized his "defect" made him truly special.

Heart Kingdom

In General

A kingdom west of the Clover Kingdom. A country rich in natural resources, it has been ruled by princesses with the power of the water spirit Undine. With the kingdom's strong natural mana, its mages have learned to form arrays of runes to enhance their magic.

The Cavalry: The Spirit Guardians and the rest of the forces who were training in Elysia join up with the Magic Knights and Resistance in the Spade Kingdom to help them fight against the devils released from the underworld and the Dark Triad.
Informed Attribute: The Spirit Guardians are said to be the strongest mages of Heart Kingdom capable of commanding real elements, but four of these were easily crushed by Dark Disciples. Even way before then, one of them even got their magic eaten by Charmy and this was before the timeskip. The last one, Gaja averts this and is pretty much as strong as his rank suggests.
In Harmony with Nature: The people of the Heart Kingdom are attuned to nature, with the country rich in water and natural resources. As a result, their mages can use the natural mana of the environment as rune arrays.
Matriarchy: The Heart Kingdom has been ruled over by princesses with the power of the water spirit Undine for many generations, with Lolopechka being the current princess.
Nature Hero: The people of the Heart Kingdom are highly attuned to natural mana, allowing them to form arrays of rune to empower their magic.
Person of Mass Destruction: Thanks to their mastery of natural mana, the Spirit Guardians can generate their real elemental attribute in large, destructive spells.
Runic Magic: The Heart Kingdom uses arrays, which channel natural mana to strengthen their spells by forming runes that form instructions for their magic. Because it relies on natural mana, it can only be used for attributes found in nature i.e. flame, lightning, water, etc. After the Clover Kingdom allies with the Heart Kingdom, it's taught to some Magic Knights.
Theme Naming: With the Clover, Spade, and Diamond Kingdoms, they are named after the four French suits of playing cards.
Uncertain Doom: Chapter 255 has Vanica detonate her Dark Disciples, turning them into curse bombs that explode throughout the Heart Kingdom. Right after, the story goes back to Yami's fight with Dante. Chapter 265 reveals that thanks to the Magic Knights the civilians all survived.
The Worf Effect:
- The Spirit Guardians are the strongest mages in their kingdom, but four of them are easily defeated by Vanica's Dark Disciples.
- On the other hand, Gaja is in the delivering end of this against the Nail Magic Disciple, offscreen to boot.

^{Click here to see her other form}

Voiced by: Yuu Serizawa (Japanese), Cherami Leigh (English)^note

Debut: Chapter 224 (Manga), Episode 128 (Anime)

Magic Attribute: Water

"I may not look it, but in front of the people of the Heart Kingdom, I do try to behave properly, as their princess. And so I'm happy to have made friends I can be myself with. I'm glad I was able to get to know you."

The Princess of the Heart Kingdom, a mage chosen by the Water Spirit Undine. She is blessed with the magical talent and wisdom of the past princesses, and has the magical power to cover the whole country in her Mana Zone. Lolopechka loves her country and its people and has a strong desire to protect them. She was cursed to die by the devil Megicula, leading her to ally with the Clover Kingdom against the Spade Kingdom.

All Your Powers Combined: Her magic and grimoire have the combined power of the precious queens of the Heart Kingdom.
The Archmage: The strongest mage of the Heart Kingdom, with incredible magic power rivaling a Magic Knight squad, and a master of its Mana Method which she teaches Noelle and Nero over the six month time skip. As a princess of the Heart Kingdom, she also has the power of the water spirit Undine and magical knowledge of all the previous generations of princesses.
Barefoot Loon: Downplayed. She goes around barefoot and is not a loon so much as she is very clumsy and absent-minded.
Barefoot Sage: Walks barefoot and is the queen of the nature-attuned Heart Kingdom with the combined wisdom of the previous country's princesses, making her known as the kingdom's "All-Knowing Priestess".
Barrier Maiden: Her Mana Zone which covers the entire Heart Kingdom forms a barrier at the border that detects any intruders. However, it can be broken through by strong enough mages like Vanica and her Dark Disciples.
Beautiful All Along: She usually has a sloppy appearance with unkempt hair and unattractive glasses. However, when she formally dresses up and remove her glasses, she's downright gorgeous.
Beauty Equals Goodness: She's acknowledged to be phenomenally beautiful by Mimosa and Finral while she's in her princess attire, and is the benevolent ruler of the Heart Kingdom, working with the Magic Knights to stop the Dark Triad.
Be Careful What You Wish For: Lolopechka thought of herself as being a failure as a princess for being unable to learn attack spells. She finally learns one when she's turned into a devil by Megicula and controlled to fight her allies.
Benevolent Mage Ruler: She's the princess of the Heart Kingdom and takes ruling seriously, using her magic to water the kingdom's crops and forests and keep her subjects safe.
Bespectacled Cutie: The beautiful, gentle queen of the Heart Kingdom who wears unflattering swirled, rimless glasses that are translucent in more serious moments and add a cute touch to her more modest casual outfit.
Big Brother Is Watching: A rare benevolent example. Her Mana Zone is so powerful that it covers the entire Heart Kingdom, allowing her to monitor the entire country. She uses it to watch out for threats and ensure the kingdom's prosperity.
Black Magic: When turned into a devil by Megicula and made to fight her allies, she uses Devil Water Magic, attacking with hydras made of water, with Noelle outright describing the magic as malicious.
Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: She becomes the Brunette, replacing Nero who is usually in her bird form, in the dynamic with Noelle as the Blonde and Mimosa as the Redhead after befriending them during the six month timeskip.
Brainwashed and Crazy: She becomes Vanica's minion thanks to her curse and forced to fight Charlotte and Rill, and later on Noelle and Gaja when they arrive.
Break the Cutie: Lolopechka cries in fear and frustration when her plan to seal Vanica fails. She then feels agonizing pain from her curse in Megicula's presence and can only cry seeing a weakened Undine cursed by the devil.
Broken Tears: Can only cry, with her expression unchanged, as she's controlled by Vanica to fight Noelle, Undine, and Gaja.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: She's incredibly clumsy and can be absent-minded despite being the princess of the kingdom. She's still the strongest mage in her kingdom, with her Mana Zone covering the entire country.
Clueless Dude Magnet: Indifferent to, if not unaware of, Finral becoming a mess over her beauty while she's in her princess attire and that Gaja has romantic feelings for her, with Undine aware of them and hoping that Gaja wouldn't find out that Lolopechka wouldn't requit them.
Cool Crown: Her crown as the Heart Kingdom's princess is gold and ornate.
Cute Clumsy Girl: When Asta sees her clumsiness for the first time, Lolopechka clarifies that this is not part of Megicula's curse. She's always been clumsy.
Cuteness Proximity: Lolopechka's volume profile states that one of her favorite things is cute things, and spoils Charmy with food because she finds her adorable.
Damsel in Distress: Vanica kidnaps her to the Spade Kingdom. Megicula thinks it's best to kill her but Vanica wants to make Noelle stronger by using Lolopechka as a hostage.
Demonic Possession: She's controlled by Vanica to fight Charlotte and Rill through a curse after being kidnapped by her. She then gets controlled by Megicula when she appears after Vanica's defeat by Noelle, with Lolopechka becoming a devil and attacking Gaja.
Demon of Human Origin: Gets turned from a human into a devil via Megicula tinkering with her curse when she manifests through Vanica's body.
Didn't See That Coming: She sure didn't expect her plan to seal Vanica to fail because Megicula's Curse-Warding Magic weakens the effects of spell arrays.
Discard and Draw: After getting captured by Vanica she loses the power of Undine, who had to transfer herself to Noelle's grimoire to regain her strength after getting cursed by Megicula. She later has her already immense innate magic strengthened by Vanica's curse when she controls Lolopechka like a puppet. Even moreso when she's turned into a devil with Devil Water Magic when Megicula partially manifests from a near-dead Vanica and now able to use an attack spell after being unable to learn one all her life because of her kind nature.
Domain Holder: Lolopechka can use Mana Zone, with hers large enough to cover the entire Heart Kingdom, letting her use her magic wherever needed in her country and see anything that happens in the kingdom. She uses it in combination with her Mana Method to create Ludic Sanctuary, forming a massive body of water that submerges Vanica inside and boosts Noelle's own water magic.
Drama-Preserving Handicap: Having been cursed by Vanica during their previous fight, when Megicula's Curse-Warding Magic weakens Lolopechka and Nero's Mana Method, their strategy fails and the devil's presence wrecks Lolopechka's body with pain from her curse, causing her to fall unconscious with Vanica easily capturing her.
Earthy Barefoot Character: Walks around barefoot in her casual attire, fitting with her being somewhat absent-minded and from a country attuned to nature.
Elemental Eye Colors: She has blue eyes and she uses Water Magic.
Ermine Cape Effect: Her outfit as a princess is this, wearing an elaborate gown with a red and gold robe and white veil. She even holds a scepter.
Evil Costume Switch: Lolopechka wears more Spade-esque attire when under Vanica's control and fighting Charlotte and Rill.
Fighter, Mage, Thief: In their strategy against Vanica, Noelle, the one actually battling Vanica with her lance and attack spells, is the Fighter; Lolopechka, increasing the power of Noelle's Water Magic with her Ludic Sanctuary, is the Mage; Nero, inconspicuous as a bird to fly in and seal Vanica after she uses all of Megicula's devil power, is the Thief. Their strategy falls apart with Megicula's Curse-Warding Magic weakening rune arrays, breaking out of Nero's prison and destroying Lolopechka's Ludic Sanctuary.
Foil:
- To Vanica. They're both women of authority — Lolopechka being the princess of the Heart Kingdom and Vanica one of the Spade Kingdom's rulers. Vanica, however, is a psychotic blood mage whose actions are motivated by her hedonistic love for fighting and sees her subordinates as disposable. Lolopechka, on the other hand, is a kind water mage (the magical attribute blood is weak to) who cares greatly for her subjects and was so kind as a child that she couldn't even learn attack spells.
- To Noelle. Both are female royals, water mages, have been tragically affected by Vanica and Megicula, have difficulty using their vast magic to attack (Lolopechka unable to learn attack spells due to her kind heart while Noelle was unable to offensively manifest her vast mana due to her own pacifism), and insecure about their statuses (Lolopechka having doubts about being a good enough queen and Noelle unconfident about her place in the House of Silva). Unlike Lolopechka, who was raised in a loving environment by Undine, Noelle grew up in an unloving household until she joined the Black Bulls. However, Undine's maternal coddling of Lolopechka prevented her from becoming a fighter, while Noelle's love for the Black Bulls let her become a warrior to protect those she loves. Thanks to undergoing hardship, Noelle becomes the mage Lolopechka couldn't become – one whose love lets her fight enemies to save those she cares for.
Friendless Background: Having been raised to be the princess of the Heart Kingdom since she was a baby, Lolopechka valued proper behavior and grew up friendless. As she says, she's very happy to have made friends with Noelle, Mimosa, Nero, and Charmy, spoiling her with food.
God Save Us from the Queen!: Subverted. She's immediately compared to the Witch Queen when her status is revealed, and portrayed as an ominous figure who wants Asta's devil power, attacking him and having Gaja fight the others. It's later revealed to be a test and she's shown to be a benevolent figure who wants to ally with the Clover Kingdom.
Gold and White Are Divine: In her princess attire she wears a white dress with a gold crown, scepter, and red mantle lined with gold, and, as princess of the Heart Kingdom, is the priestess and host of the water spirit Undine, with the four great spirits said to be gods incarnate. However, due to her own kind nature and Undine's maternal selfishness, Lolopechka never achieved the true potential of a spirit host: Saint Stage.
Happily Adopted: Flashbacks show that she was raised by Undine since she was a baby, and the two have a loving relationship with Lolopechka seeing her as a mother figure.
Head-Turning Beauty: When dressed up in her formal attire as Princess, she's majestic and beautiful enough to wow Asta, Nero, Mimosa, and Finral.
Heal It with Water: Can use Water Healing Magic: Aquanelle Lore to form a large bubble to heal allies inside it.
Heroic Self-Deprecation: Lolopechka has low self-esteem, considering herself as dull, clumsy, and unsuitable to rule the Heart Kingdom and a failure as a queen for being cursed by Vanica and Megicula. So much so that she calls herself even more of a failure for crying out of her fear of dying. Luckily, Noelle and Mimosa comfort her.
High Priestess: As the princess of the Heart Kingdom, she's also the priestess of Undine.
The High Queen: She's the princess and ruler of the Heart Kingdom, and devoted to ensuring her kingdom's natural prosperity and defending her subjects against the Dark Triad.
Home Field Advantage: She does this by using Undine's power and Mana Method to create a giant dome of water, halving Vanica's Blood Magic's power in half while also boosting Noelle's magic.
Horned Humanoid: Lolopechka gets controlled by Megicula and turns into a devil, gaining black horns.
Inadequate Inheritor: Unlike the other previous princesses, Lolopechka was unable to learn any attack spells, seeing herself as a failure of a queen for it. Undine, caring too much about Lolopechka's kindness, kept Saint Stage a secret from her as a result.
Inconsistent Spelling: The Viz translation switches from "Loropechika" to "Lolopechka", with the latter the most used.
Inept Mage: Despite being the Heart Kingdom's strongest mage with the power of Undine and mastery of Mana Method, Lolopechka can't learn a single attack spell because she's that kind. For this reason she sees herself as a failure of a queen, and when Gaja learned about this he decided to become the kingdom's strongest attack mage to defeat all their enemies on her behalf.
Informed Attribute: Is stated to be the strongest mage in the Heart Kingdom with the power of the water spirit, having a Mana Zone large enough to cover the entire country, and enough magical power to rival a Magic Knights squad. Despite this, she lost to Vanica and takes a supporting role during the fight against Vanica with Noelle, boosting her magical power. Justified as it's revealed that while Lolopechka does have vast magic, she's too kind to even learn any attack spells.
Ironic Name: "Lolo" can mean "dumb" in Hawaiian, despite her having the combined magical wisdom of all the past queens of the Heart Kingdom, which is why she's called the "All-Knowing Priestess".
Kicking Ass in All Her Finery: She dons her formal gown when fighting Vanica.
Lady and Knight: Lolopechka is the Lady to Gaja's Knight, with Gaja being the country's strongest Spirit Guardian who's in love with Lolopechka, his kingdom's Princess, and very loyal towards her, swearing to save her after she gets kidnapped by Vanica. When he was younger, Gaja decided to become the Heart Kingdom's strongest offensive mage to destroy all their enemies in her place. Gaja wanted to protect Lolopechka more than the kingdom, and sacrifices himself to destroy Megicula to save her and not die from the wound inflicted by her so that she won't become a killer.
Light Is Good: In her formal wear Lolopechka dons a layered white gown with gold ornaments, and is the benevolent princess of the Heart Kingdom, working with the Clover Kingdom to stop the Dark Triad.
Lonely at the Top: As ruler of the Heart Kingdom, Lolopechka feels she has to behave properly and tells Noelle and Mimosa that she's glad to have befriended them, with the two having comforted her when she cried in fear that she's terrified of dying from her curse.
Long Hair Is Feminine: Long black hair and the Princess of a matriarchal country with a love of cute things.
Lovely Angels: A twisted version with Vanica, who makes Lolopechka her puppet using her curse to fight alongside her against Rill and Charlotte, calling her sweetie and sadistically stroking her face.
Vanica: I guess our teamwork was stronger, right? Lolopechka, sweetie. ❤
Luminescent Blush: A speechless Lolopechka has this when Gaja tells her that he's in love with her.
MacGuffin Super-Person: She's highly important as being the Princess of the Heart Kingdom she holds the wisdom of all the past Princesses, making Lolopechka a source of knowledge detrimental to the Dark Triad's plans. When Vanica defeats her, Noelle, and Nero, Megicula advises Vanica to kill Lolopechka then and there to destroy the wisdom of the Heart Kingdom, with Vanica instead capturing her to motivate Noelle to become stronger. This becomes advantageous for the Dark Triad when Morris extracts Lolopechka's wisdom and transplants it into himself, using it to learn how to make himself an accelerant for the Tree of Qliphoth, opening the first level which lets the first two of the Qliphoth devils out and the Dark Triad access their 100% devil power forms.
Magical Library: The combined past knowledge of the princesses of the Heart Kingdom manifests as a library inside Lolopechka's mind filled with countless books.
Magic Enhancement: Has her already unbelievable magic strengthened by Vanica's curse while under her control, making her give Rill and Charlotte trouble.
Magic Staff: Uses her magic through her scepter during her fight against Rill while under Vanica's control.
Making a Splash: Her magical element. With the power of Undine, she can water her kingdom's forests and form a gigantic dome of water in the air. She can even make monitors to see things all over the kingdom. It becomes Devil Water Magic able to unleash water hydras when she's turned into a devil by Megicula.
Marked Change: Gains black line markings going down her eyes after getting controlled by Megicula when she appears, turning Lolopechka into a devil.
Meaningful Name: "Lolo" in Hawaiian can mean "goofy", fitting with her absent-minded, Cute Clumsy Girl nature. However, it can also mean "dumb", making it an Ironic Name.
Messy Hair: When dressed casually her black hair has multiple thin strands sticking out to go with the rest of her disheveled appearance.
Modest Royalty: Princess of the Heart Kingdom but wears a simple dress outside of her formal attire and denies Noelle and Mimosa's praise. It's revealed she sees herself as unfit to rule for getting fatally cursed by Vanica and Megicula as well as being unable to learn any attack magic because she's so kind.
Mook Maker: She can use her Water Magic to form feminine armored knights, which she has fight Asta as a test.
Mundane Utility: Uses her nationwide Mana Zone to not only watch over her subjects and detect intruders, but also maintain the country's forests and water the crops.
Navel-Deep Neckline: Much of her chest is exposed due to having a navel deep neckline after she's controlled by Megicula herself and becomes a devil.
Nice Girl: A very kind, caring young woman who happily welcomes and befriends the Magic Knights who train in the Heart Kingdom. So kind that she was unable to learn a single attack spell. Undine, valuing Lolopechka's kindness too much out of selfishness, kept quiet about Saint Stage as a result.
Oblivious to Love: She's completely unaware of Gaja's romantic feelings for her, despite Undine, who laments that Gaja doesn't find out that she wouldn't return them, noticing them.
Ominous Multiple Screens: She can use her Water Magic to create many water monitors to see everything going on in the Heart Kingdom.
One-Woman Army: Subverted. Lolopechka is stated to have enough magical power to rival a Magic Knight squad, but she actually can't pull off such a feat because she cannot learn any attack spells.
Opaque Nerd Glasses: She wears these in her private attire.
Our Hydras Are Different: After Megicula turns her into a devil and controls her, Lolopechka uses Devil Water Magic: Hydra of Darkneros to create multiple serpentine heads to attack her allies.
Personality Powers: Deconstructed. Very kind and caring. So kind that she can't learn any attack spells. Because of this and her own selfishness, wanting Lolopechka to stay kind, Undine kept Saint Stage a secret despite the threat of devil hosts like Vanica. It backfires hard when Lolopechka gets cursed and kidnapped.
Politically-Active Princess: She's the current Princess of the Heart Kingdom and very dedicated to her country, using her magic to maintain a barrier around it, watch over her people, and maintain its forests and crops. She allies with the Clover Kingdom to fight against the Spade Kingdom, opening the country for Magic Knights to train and learn the country's Mana Method technique.
Princess Classic: Although actually very clumsy and absent-minded in private, Lolopechka is the Heart Kingdom's current princess, looks gorgeous when she dresses the part, and is a very kind, caring young woman with a strong resolve to protect her subjects.
Princesses Prefer Pink: She's the Princess of the Heart Kingdom and wears a long pink skirt in her casual attire.
Princesses Rule: Zig-Zagged. In the manga, her title as ruler of the Heart Kingdom changes from "princess" (ōjo) in Chapter 224 to "queen" (joō) in Chapter 225, and then back to "princess" in Chapter 226, which has been consistently used for her until Chapter 295, which implies (through Undine) that at a younger age the female monarchs of the Heart Kingdom (like Lolopechka) are called princess and at an older age (or used for more respect) they're referred to as queen, which Megicula and Gaja use for her.
Rank Scales with Asskicking: Subverted. She may be the strongest mage of Heart Kingdom due to being its chosen princess, she is unfortunately not a combatant.
Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: She has long black hair and pale skin, and is noted to be very beautiful when she cleans up and wears her priestess attire.
Requisite Royal Regalia: Her formal attire as the Heart Kingdom's Princess has her wear an ornate, layered gown complete with an equally regal draped robe and veil. Over the time skip she wears this less as she becomes more friendly with the Magic Knights.
Royals Who Actually Do Something: The current Princess of the Heart Kingdom and very devoted to her country with a strong desire to protect her people.
Rummage Sale Reject: She wears her pajamas at leisure, with no footwear, but this makes her look frumpy.
Runic Magic: She is from the country where this is from after all. Lolopechka can create a giant array with Undine's power to form a massive body of water.
The Scream: She lets out a blood-curdling scream when Megicula's presence wrecks her body in immense pain from her curse.
Silk Hiding Steel: A very gentle princess of the Heart Kingdom who looks gorgeous in her royal wear. Despite this, she's very protective of her country, defending it against Vanica and allying with the Clover Kingdom, teaching the Magic Knights the Heart Kingdom's Mana Method and forming strategies against their enemies, to stop the Spade Kingdom.
Spoiled Sweet: Deconstructed. Lolopechka is the princess of the Heart Kingdom and very loving and kind, so much that as a child she couldn't even learn any attack spells in spite of her vast magical power. Growing up in the peaceful, nature-loving Heart Kingdom and raised by Undine, who wanted Lolopechka to stay kind and avoid fighting, she never became an attack mage in taking advantage of her powerful magic and was kept the secret of Saint Stage, the power of spirit hosts to purify malice and destroy devils, away from her. This eventually led her to be cursed and kidnapped by Vanica as well as the formation of the Tree of Qliphoth.
Staff of Authority: She holds this while donning her princess regalia.
The Strategist: Being the princess of the Heart Kingdom with the combined knowledge of her predecessors, she acts as this on behalf of the Magic Knights in the Heart Kingdom, coordinating their missions against the Spade Kingdom, and devises the strategy against Vanica.
Suicidal Pacifism: Lolopechka is too kind to the point that despite having immense reserves of mana, she literally cannot learn any attacking magic and can only use buffs/debuffs or sealing magic. This ended up horribly for her.
Summon Magic: As the princess of the Heart Kingdom, she's also the priestess of Undine, and can summon her using Spirit Magic.
Tough Leader Façade: She's very dignified as a princess but is in truth an awkward, clumsy girl. Lolopechka thinks of herself as an inadequate princess for getting cursed, being clumsy and dull, and unable to learn any attack spells. And she's terrified of being cursed to die, feeling bad for crying in public.
Transferable Memory: The priestesses of the Heart Kingdom inherit the knowledge and experiences of precious priestesses. This allows her to find out the Dark Triad's plan to form the Tree of Qliphoth, bringing devils to the world and killing over 90% of the continent.
Transformation of the Possessed: Gets controlled by Vanica and later Megicula, who uses her curse-warding magic to turn Lolopechka into a devil.
Water Is Womanly: The Heart Kingdom is ruled by princesses who for generations have had the power of the Water Spirit Undine, who's a motherly elemental with a dress and long hair made of water. Lolopechka is the current princess and a powerful water mage. She's named the All-Knowing Priestess for having the wisdom of all the past princesses, and looks majestic in her royal attire. In truth, she's absent-minded and clumsy, and not as regal as she seems.
Why Am I Ticking?: Megicula uses Exploding Life on a controlled Lolopechka to kill everyone in the castle and complete her manifestation... which gets stopped just in time by Asta when he arrives at the scene.
Winged Humanoid: She gets controlled by Megicula and becomes a devil complete with bat-like wings.
The Worf Effect: Although she's the Heart Kingdom's strongest mage, the host of the water spirit Undine with enough magical power to cover her entire country in her Mana Zone, she still lost to and ended up getting fatally cursed by Vanica, showing just how strong the Dark Triad really are. It's later revealed that despite being an incredibly powerful mage, Lolopechka doesn't know a single attack spell.
Worf Had the Flu: Implied. Despite being the strongest mage of her country, she takes a supportive role to Noelle as part of their strategy and lost to Vanica, with Vanica implying that Lolopechka was holding herself back with her attacks while she has her controlled through her curse to fight Rill and Charlotte, going on an all-out rampage with her magic that the two captains struggle against. It's later revealed that she's too kind to learn any attack spells.
World's Strongest Woman: She's the strongest mage in the Heart Kingdom, with enough magic power to rival a Magic Knight squad as well as cover the entire country in her Mana Zone. Although she is the strongest, it doesn't necessarily mean she can use attack spells. And despite her immense magic power, she was unable to defeat the Dark Triad member, Vanica, who kidnaps her and later uses her like a puppet.
Your Days Are Numbered: The curse of Megicula will kill her in the next year if he's not defeated. After Megicula is defeated, the curse is gone.

Water Is Blue: She's the elemental spirit of water and has blue eyes and hair and a gown made of blue water. Her skin is so pale that it even almost looks blue.

Gaja

Voiced by: Ryōtarō Okiayu (Japanese), Jeff Plunk (English) ^note

Debut: Chapter 225 (Manga), Episode 128 (Anime)

Magic Attribute: Lightning

A Spirit Guardian of the Heart Kingdom who's very loyal to Lolopechka. Gaja uses Lightning Magic, discharging powerful lightning bolts.

The Ace: He's the strongest of the Spirit Guardians and was able to fight Julius on even ground at one point.
All Love Is Unrequited: He has romantic feelings for Lolopechka, who's unaware of them and states that she'd never date Gaja.
Apologetic Attacker: Asks a controlled devil Lolopechka to forgive him before using his Pulsaranta to stop her from moving for a few seconds, using that time to go and attack Megicula.
Better to Die than Be Killed: Rather than die from the wound inflicted on him by a controlled devil Lolopechka and let her become a killer, he converts his life into his Ultimate Magic to destroy Megicula. However, he ends up getting saved by Rill's magic and later Mimosa.
Big Damn Heroes: Arrives with Noelle to help Charlotte and Rill against a 100% devil power Vanica and controlled Lolopechka.
Black Mage: The strongest of the Spirit Guardians and an attack mage, resolving to be the best one in the Heart Kingdom after learning that Lolopechka couldn't learn attack spells.
Bodyguard Crush: It's hinted that Gaja has romantic feelings for Lolopechka, and as a Spirit Guardian he serves as a protector for her, their princess.
The Champion: To Lolopechka as the strongest Spirit Guardian with Undying Loyalty for her, having decided when he was younger to become the Heart Kingdom's strongest offensive mage to destroy all their enemies in place of her, who was unable to learn any attack spells because of her kindness.
Failure Knight: Thinks of himself as being unfit to be a Spirit Guardian after having failed to stop Megicula and Vanica from cursing Lolopechka in spite of having decided to become the strongest attack mage in the Heart Kingdom on behalf of Lolopechka. Even moreso when Lolopechka gets captured by Vanica while he was fighting a Dark Disciple protecting the country and forced to fight and eventually turned into a devil by Megicula. Such so that he decides to sacrifice his life to save Lolopechka and destroy Megicula.
Good Scars, Evil Scars: He has a large scar on his left cheek and neck from fighting Vanica and Megicula when they first invaded the Heart Kingdom to target Lolopechka.
Hand Blast: His spell Tenjiolia shoots out a lightning bolt from his held-out right palm at fast speed. By adding mana rune arrays to it, he can make it change direction and pursue a target.
Heroic Build: His robe shows off his muscular figure, and he's a Spirit Guardian fervently loyal to Lolopechka.
Heroic Sacrifice: Gaja converts the remainder of his life force into his Ultimate Lightning Magic: Apocalypra Astrauza to destroy Megicula. Subverted as he gets saved from dying by Rill's magic and later Mimosa's Ultimate Magic.
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Gets impaled by a controlled devil Lolopechka's arm while hesitating to attack her.
Inconsistent Spelling: The Viz translation switches from "Gadjah" to "Gaja", which fits closer with the Japanese romanization of his name.
Lady and Knight: Lolopechka is the Lady to Gaja's Knight, with Gaja being the country's strongest Spirit Guardian who's in love with Lolopechka, his kingdom's Princess, and very loyal towards her, swearing to save her after she gets kidnapped by Vanica. When he was younger, Gaja decided to become the Heart Kingdom's strongest offensive mage to destroy all their enemies in her place. Gaja wanted to protect Lolopechka more than the kingdom, and sacrifices himself to destroy Megicula to save her and not die from the wound inflicted by her so that she won't become a killer.
Lightning Bruiser: Fitting his attribute, he's very fast, easily keeping up with Noelle in her Valkyrie Armor and catching up to a teleporting Finral, and has powerful Lightning Magic strong enough to leave a giant crater in the forest as enhanced True Lightning Magic.
Love Confession: Tells Lolopechka he loves her as a woman after the fight against Megicula, to Lolopechka's utter embarassment.
Meaningful Name: Gaja is the Sanskrit word for "elephant", which personifies fertility and strength in Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist scriptures. A fitting name for the strongest of the Spirit Guardians in the Heart Kingdom, a country attuned to nature and abundant in natural resources.
Mentor Archetype: He becomes this to Luck during the six month Time Skip, teaching him how to use magic arrays with natural mana to create True Lightning Magic.
Mr. Fanservice: His sleeveless, deep v-neck robe shows his muscular build.
Navel-Deep Neckline: A Rare Male Example, wearing a robe with a deep v-neck cut.
Not So Stoic: Has an angry, determined look on his face when he swears that he'll rescue Lolopechka after she's captured by Vanica.
Only Mostly Dead: States that he's practically dead after his sacrificial spell and being pierced through by Lolopechka, but thanks to Rill's ''Twilight of Valhalla's he's temporarily invincible and uses his lightning magic with Luck to clear a path for Noelle to Megicula. And later gets healed by Mimosa's Ultimate Magic.
Person of Mass Destruction: His True Lightning Magic: Irial Astrauza creates a lightning bolt from stormy clouds strong enough to destroy part of a forest and leave a giant crater behind.
Power Floats: As Finral notes, he's so powerful that he can float in the air without using magic.
Purple Is Powerful: Has purple eyes and wears a pale purple robe, and is the strongest of the Spirit Guardians, making him one of the strongest mages in the entire Heart Kingdom.
Runic Magic: He is a master of his country's unique technique, forming extremely strong lightning spells. Over the six month time skip he teaches it to Luck.
Secret Test of Character: He performs one on Noelle, Finral, and Mimosa on behalf of Lolopechka to see if they're powerful enough to defeat Megicula, fighting the three simultaneously.
Shock and Awe: He uses Lightning Magic, with a specialty in discharge spells. With natural mana he can even use True Lightning Magic to create real electricity.
The Stoic: Usually very calm and composed, rarely emoting and maintaining a serious disposition even in battle.
Taking You with Me: Dying from his wound by a controlled devil Lolopechka, Gaja converts his very life into his Ultimate Magic: Apocalypra Astrauza in an effort to destroy Megicula.
Tall, Dark, and Handsome: Black hair, a slightly darker skin tone than most of the cast, and outfit that shows off his muscular build.
Undying Loyalty: He's very loyal to his princess Lolopechka. After she's captured by Vanica, he vows to rescue her with a determined look on his face. It's revealed that he sees himself as unfit to be a Spirit Guardian for letting her get cursed and captured, and chooses to sacrifice himself to destroy Megicula rather than die from the wound she inflicted on him and let her become a killer.
"More than the kingdom, it was you I wanted to protect."
Wake-Up Call Boss: It takes the combined teamwork of Noelle, Mimosa, and Finral for them to fight on fairly even ground with Gaja, who was simply testing them on behalf of Lolopechka, showing just how strong a Stage Zero is and the training needed for the Magic Knights to fight the Spade Kingdom if Gaja himself, who was a Worthy Opponent for Julius at one point, was scarred by Vanica and Megicula and couldn't even defeat them with Lolopechka.
Wave-Motion Gun: His Ultimate Magic Apocalypra Astrauza converts his life into magic to unleash a giant beam of lightning that destroys much of Megicula's body and pierces through the Spade Castle.
The Worf Effect: Hischer Ongg, the Nail Magic Dark Disciple might be one of Vanica's Dark Disciples and beat one of Heart Kingdom's Spirit Guardians one-on-one, but Gaja quickly shows him business offscreen.

Floga

Debut: Chapter 247 (Manga), Episode 155 (Anime)

Magic Attribute: Flame

A Spirit Guardian of the Heart Kingdom.

Mentor Archetype: He is assigned to train Leopold during the six month time skip and helps him to both overcome his insecurities and grows stronger, believing that Leopold holds potential greater than his own.
Playing with Fire: His magic. He masters the Heart Kingdom's special technique, mana method, and uses it to create powerful fire spells.

Paladins (UNMARKED SPOILERS)

In General

Angelic beings created through Lucius using his Soul Magic to impart purified devil power to other people, granting them wisdom and undying bodies. They are soldiers who will fight for Lucius's vision and world peace.

Angelic Abomination: The Paladins are people transformed into angelic beings that are blindly devoted to Lucius's cause.
Back from the Dead: Amongst the first few people Lucius resurrected, Heath Grice was one of them. Then, Acier Silva and Morgen Faust were resurrected by Lucius as Paladins to help him enact Judgement Day and it's highly implied they are not the only ones.
Came Back Wrong: Morgen and Acier were heroic magic knights that died fighting against evil. They then get resurrected as loyal servants to Lucius bent on making his Evil Plan come true.
Combat Pragmatist: They tend to use the most effective method to take out foes as quickly as they could, mentally torturing them, disarming them or one-shotting them with large and precise spells almost preemptively.
Convenient Coma: If a Paladin is exorcised by Anti-Magic, they fall into a coma and don't wake up until Lucius Zogratis is defeated.
Elite Mook: They might be just the Elite Mooks of the Final Arc, but unlike the Dark Disciples who can be easily dismantled by even well trained third-rank mages, the Paladins are capable of feats that not even Elves or Devils had managed to do on-page and can easily defeat other skilled fighters playing on a similar field with them. Paladin Sister Lily can disarm Noelle (who just killed Megicula beforehand) before she could even do anything, Yrul can revive the legendary Five-Headed Dragon of the Land of the Sun and psychologically cripple two of the Ryuzen Seven just by using his regular Beast Magic spells and Heath Grice took out three of the Ryuzen Seven in one fell swoop through a combination magic attack with Sister Lily. The resurrected archmages used by Lucius in Judgement Day are even worse; on top of being resurrected former bigshots like Morgen and Acier, they can easily gravely injure the likes of Nozel and Jack the Ripper, something that no other enemy can do.
Instant Expert: According to Lucius, people imparted with purified devils gain sacred wisdom. In practice, this translates to Paladins seemingly mastering complicated spells almost instantly, as shown when Sister Lily disarmed Noelle with a massive Spatial Box despite obtaining Beelzebub's power just right before.
Light Is Not Good: They might be angelic warriors, but they are there to wipe out humanity for Lucius and resurrect them as more Paladins or immortal humans.
More than Mind Control: The Paladins retain whatever personality they have before being hit by Lucius's Soul Magic, but their mind is hard-wired to be devoted fully to Lucius's cause. It's especially jarring when Sister Lily retains her motherly kindness but she's begging for Asta to die for the greater good in Broken Tears.
Mythical Motifs: Angels, being Angelic Abominations that are created by 'purifying' the powers of demons and are set to bring about a Holy War and an Apocalypse How.
Super-Soldier: At their very core, they're essentially this but with mages in a standard fantasy setting. Lucius even tells Noelle that they are higher beings granted wisdom and greatly enhanced magic.
Undying Loyalty: All Paladins are undyingly loyal to Lucius's cause, courtesy of him tampering with their souls.
Unskilled, but Strong: Subverted as far as non-humans are concerned — Unlike Elves and Devils, these things don't simply spam high power magic, they use them rather tactfully as far as non-humans can go. Instead of spamming heavy spells with reckless abandon, the Paladins will attempt to directly counter or wear down their foes before they can even act.
Walking Spoiler: First because their creation is tied directly to Lucius and he is already the biggest example of this trope in the story. Second because the resurrections of certain characters as Paladins is a major plot twist for the final arc.
Was Once a Man: All Paladins we seen so far were people transformed/resurrected by Lucius.

The Space and Water Paladin

Lily Aquaria

Magic Attribute: Spatial + Water

As a demonstration for his Soul Magic and to defeat Asta by distracting him, Lucius takes Sister Lily hostage in the middle of their first fight and imparts her with Beelzebub's purified magic.

Ability Mixing: Combines her innate water magic with the spatial magic granted her by being fused with Beelzebub to create a high-pressure water jet that can cut through just about anything.
Apologetic Attacker: Toward Asta. Thanks to Lucius, she's convinced Asta must die for the sake of a perfect world, but she still loves him as her little brother. She starts breaking down during her fight with Asta, crying even as she's trying to kill him.
Baddie Flattery: Was amazed when the five of the Ryuzen Seven slays the Five-Headed Dragon.
Beware the Nice Ones: A very dark example. After Lucius turns her into an Angelic Abomination, as she maintains her sweet, pleasant demeanour, but is (seemingly) perfectly fine with watching Asta be killed in front of her, and teleports his body far away from his allies with fatal injuries with a kindly smile on her face and assurances that this is for everybody's happiness.
Broken Tears: Rare case of being Played for Horror. She actually sounds quite broken when she fights Asta, aside that she's begging him to die for the sake of Lucius's envisioned utopia. It sounds absolutely wrong rather than heartwarming.
Combination Attack: Ice x Spatial Magic: Endless Ice Fangs with Heath, an efficient attack that unleashes ice spikes from portals to attack from all sides. It's quick and powerful enough to one-shot three of the Ryuzen Seven before they can even make a move.
Dissonant Serenity: Paladin Sister Lily keeps her Nice Girl personality as her former, human self...aside that it's all rubbed in the wrong directions, having her soul tampered to be undyingly loyal to Lucius's cause. There's one point where she fights Asta and cries Broken Tears begging for him to die for the sake of the world peace and equality everyone wants.
Elemental Punch: In a horribly twisted version of her Running Gag of using Holy Fist of Love on Asta, she hurls a souped-up version of that spell against him with the intent of killing him for Lucius's sake.
Fighting from the Inside: Sister Lily herself denies this, but Asta is convinced that she subconsciously warped him to the Land of the Sun on purpose to save his life. Lily breaking down in tears and seemingly holding back while fighting him (like firing her magic wildly without aiming) seems to prove him right.
Hero's Muse: Lucius intentionally weaponizes Sister Lily's position as this against Asta, revealing himself and his plans to him just after Asta has a final conversation with her over his old desire to marry her, and after verifying that a straightforward clash between his Time magic and Asta's Anti-Magic won't guarantee his victory, uses her as a demonstration of his Soul Magic to turn Lily into an Angelic Abomination. Her first words to Asta in this state being to sincerely plead with him to die for Lucius' goals and humanity itself, the shock of which distracts Asta enough for Lucius to land a seemingly fatal strike to his chest.
Mercy Kill: Her remarks against the Ryuzen Seven are constant reminders that they will be given a painless death.
Power Nullifier: Her "Spatial Magic: Sacred Devil Control" traps foes in boxes made out of Spatial Magic, locking away their mana and basically prevent them from doing anything to interfere. She can also use Zenon's Spatial Mana Domination to dispel individual magic.
Smug Snake: Downplayed, but Sister Lily has a subtly condescending attitude when confronting the Ryuzen Seven, especially when she sees Kezokaku changing stances for the first time.
Space Master: After being converted by Lucius into a Paladin, she can use Beelzebub's spatial magic. Unlike past spatial magic users, Paladin!Lily can use hers to trap people, nullify their powers and dissolve whatever enchantments they have at the same time.

The Ice Paladin

Heath Grice

Magic: Ice

Once a member of the Eye of the Midnight Sun, he committed suicide by shattering himself into pieces when Asta interrogates him in his first mission. More than 300 chapters later, Lucius was somehow able to locate his soul and revive him as a Paladin.

Combination Attack: Ice x Spatial Magic: Endless Ice Fangs with Sister Lily, an efficient attack that unleashes ice spikes from portals to attack from all sides. It's quick and powerful enough to one-shot three of the Ryuzen Seven before they can even make a move.
The Quiet One: Seldomly speaks out of the trio of Paladins that invade the Land of the Sun.
Took a Level in Badass: Heath Grice was just a Starter Villain in the first 10 chapters during his debut who was defeated by Asta and Magna Swing, and quickly committed suicide to deny the Black Bulls info about Patry. When Lucius revives him, he's strong enough to wipe the floor with three of the Ryuzen Seven in one combination magic with Sister Lily.

The Beast Paladin

Yrul

Magic Attribute: Beast

Debut: Chapter 343

A Paladin accompanying Sister Lily and Heath Grice to the Land of the Sun.

Beast Master: Unlike Vetto's Beast Magic, his is capable of outright controlling or manifesting magical creatures, reviving the ancient five-headed dragon and creating a bogeyman that can instantly incapacitate foes with their worst fears.
Combat Pragmatist: When the Ryuzen Seven kills the Five-Headed Dragon he summons and it's time for him to fight, he mentally tortures Kezokaku and Ichika by summoning the Bogeyman so they couldn't fight back before they can even so land a cut on him. Then he revives the Five-Headed Dragon the Ryuzen just slew only when all of them can no longer fight thanks to Lily and Heath Grice taking out the other three. The only thing stopping all five of them from dying and being remade into Paladins is Asta's timely intervention. Once he finds out the Bogeyman doesn't work on Asta, he instead uses the more standard Beast Magic to attempt on his life only for Asta to land a Zetten-enforced cut on him, incapitating him.
Mighty Roar: His "Holy Beast Howling" has him let out a loud roar that can revive ancient, magical creatures, purify their magic power and put them under his command. He uses this magic to summon the legendary Five-Headed Dragon against the Ryuzen Seven.
Mind Rape: His Bogeyman attack wears down Kezokaku and Ichika quickly so they can no longer fight. The only thing saving them is a timely rescue from Asta who intercepted the creature before it could land a hit on Ichika.
Partial Transformation: Just like Vetto, he can use his Beast Magic in a more standard way, awakening his primal instincts and blitzing around at incredible speeds. He starts doing this when he finds out his Bogeyman doesn't work on Asta. However, thanks to Asta's Zetten training, he outmaneuvers him.
Things That Go "Bump" in the Night: He can summon a Bogeyman that automatically takes the form of his foe's worst fears. For Kezokaku it turned into a frog, and for Ichika it took the form of her father and shown her visions of her slaughtering her own clan back in her childhood. Not only that, it physically transforms into its victim's worst fears and moves in for the kill when they're at their most vulnerable.

The Light and Dark Paladin

Morgen Faust

Magic: Light + Dark

Nacht's younger brother and Yami's former friend who was killed in a devil-summoning accident. He is one of the Magic Knights resurrected by Lucius to enact Judgement Day.

Cain and Abel: He is (unwillingly) the Abel to Nacht's Cain.
Dark Is Evil: Ironically despite being a Paladin, he's also this in comparison to Yami and Nacht.
Evil Twin: Once again, unwillingly. When he appears during Lucius's attack against Clover Kingdom, everyone mistakenly assumes he is Nacht, until he attacks Jack with a Light based attack, confirming his true identity.
Good Powers, Bad People: Much like with Partry, Light magic has various properties that are very helpful, but since he was resurrected as a servant of an evil mastermind, that makes him a threat to all those who fight him.
Light Is Not Good: While all Paladins are already and example of it, Morgen's magical attribute is Light, but unlike his original self, he is a dangerous opponent ready to kill anyone who stands on Lucius's way.
Nonchalant Dodge: When a wounded Jack uses his "final slash" to protect Yami from one of Morgen's attacks and to try killing the Paladin in one strike, Morgen demurs taking it head-on, and nimbly sidesteps it. Seeing how Jack's gambit was mighty enough to instantly kill two of his minions, bisect the city, and gouge a deep cut into the earth, Morgen praises the blow and assures his opponents that it would've outright killed him if it had landed.
Yin-Yang Bomb: He can use both Light and Dark Magic at once to great effect.

The Steel Paladin

Acier Silva

Magic: Steel

The matriarch of the Silva Family and former Captain of the Silver Eagles squad who died after being cursed by the Supreme Devil Megicula. She is among the Magic Knights resurrected by Lucius to enact Judgement Day.

Dissonant Serenity: Just like Sister Lily, her core personality is unchanged — only her alignment changes. Therefore, she still cares about her children as much as she does in the past, tells Nebra and Solid that they are warped by "hate and power", but then declares that she will save them by killing them so they could become one again under Lucius's rule.
Evil Matriarch: Unwillingly. She's resurrected by Lucius as a Paladin chosen to attack Clover and seems to be ready to fight her own children.
Offing the Offspring: She states her intentions to kill Nozel, Solid and Nebra so they can be reborn in the new world Lucius plans to create. She had already impaled the former through the chest and beat the latter two to near death before Noelle intervened.
So Proud of You: Because the core Acier Silva is still perfectly intact, she was genuinely impressed by how strong Noelle has became when she activates her Dragon Form Valyrie Armor.

The Modification and Earth Paladin

Morris Libardirt

Magic: Modification + Earth

A former magic scholar and a Mad Scientist of the Diamond Kingdom and a former ally of the Dark Triad, he has been transformed into a Paladin by Lucius to enact Judgement Day.

Multi Armedand Dangerous: Has multiple branching arms that can make even more effective use of his magic.
Took a Level in Badass: Beforehand, he's just a scientist with barely any combat prowess, and even with Lucifero's power, he's defeated in a straightforward fight against the Black Bulls with only some difficulty. As a Paladin, however, he is now able to pressure someone as powerful as Mereoleona head-on with his magic.

The Scale and Atmosphere Paladin

Damnatio Kira

Magic: Scale + Atmosphere

When Damnatio questioned Julius about Astaroth, Lucius regains control of his body and converts Damnatio into a Paladin. Lucius deploys him to the Black Forest to stop the Black Bulls from summoning Asta through the Door of Fate and is given the purified Supreme Devil Baal's magic.

Hold the Line: He's deployed by Lucius to prevent Asta from being sent back to Clover Kingdom, considering he is the only person capable of ending his plans.
Shoot the Medic First: After crushing the Raging Black Bull, he ignores the other combatants to directly target and kill Grey and Gauche, who were giving the Black Bulls infinite healing.
The Worf Effect: Despite seemingly being able to single-handedly defeat almost all of the Black Bulls prior, he's taken down in one shot by Asta once the Witch Queen, Vanessa and Finral successfully summon him from the Land of the Sun.

Guardian Angels

Former rebels against Lucius who were reconstructed into angelic beings who fight for him.

All Your Powers Combined: They can use multiple magical elements at once, making them incredibly dangerous even for being mook-level enemies.
Angelic Abomination: They resemble large, angelic statues that are the rank-and-profile mooks of Lucius's forces.
Elite Mook: All of them are incredibly powerful and durable just like the Paladins and can effectively use multiple magical elements at the same time, making them extremely difficult foes that can't be taken down by standard Magic Knights. Lucius also deploys massive amounts of them at the same time, allowing him to overwhelm entire Kingdoms easily.
Was Once a Man: They were once people who stood against Lucius but were modified and fused into angelic soldiers by him.
The Worm That Walks: The Guardian Angels are made by fusing multiple dead human beings into a single angelic statue.
