Voiced by: Kōki Uchiyama (Japanese), Ray Chase (English)
The main protagonist of the story who cheats in exams and others in order to gain the upper hand. He has the ability to take over another person's body for five seconds. After being tricked and manipulated into using his ability by Nao, he is forcibly transferred to Hoshinoumi Academy and paid to join the student council.
- All Your Powers Combined: Thanks to his initial ability, plunder, he becomes this in many timelines.
- By episode 5 (original timeline where the series starts), he got: thoughtography, telekinesis, and flight.
- In episode 9 (old timeline where all of ability wielders caught by scientist), he got: pulverization, telepathy, and permeation.
- By episode 12 (new timeline where Ayumi's has been saved), he got the ability as in episode 5, added with: time leap (though later it was disabled after one of his eyes damaged), collapse, invisibility, teleport, pyrokinesis, and channeling. He's planning to plunders all of ability wielders around the world to stop the psychic phenomenon.
- Amnesiac Lover: In the finale, Yuu keeps his promise to return to Nao, but he has lost all his memories about her. Nao is sad about this, but she still keeps her promise to become his girlfriend and decides to create new happy memories for Yuu.
- Aside Glance: Does this often. It's even lampshaded by Nao at one point.
- Ax-Crazy: He becomes this as he falls into an intense sadness after his sister dies. He enjoys only eating and happily beating the crap out of local gang members with a sadistic laughter. Yuu does get better with the help of Nao. But yet again he falls into this as he vows to Plunder every ability in the world it ends up making him very violent and is prone to acting out in a rage. By the end of the series he's lost his memories but at least he's cured.
- Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Nao. At the beginning, they hate each other because Nao is the one who stops Yuu from abusing his power for his own gain. After working together at the student council, they slowly become friends of sorts. Yuu develops feelings for Nao after she helps him go back on his feet after his sister dies in one timeline and while she acknowledges they always argue, she's fine with the idea of being his girlfriend.
- Big Brother Instinct: He might be annoyed by Ayumi sometimes, but he also deeply cares for her, as seen in episode 5 & 6 when he treated a sick Ayumi. And much later in episode 6, after a revealing scene involving Ayumi collapsing part of her school building, Yuu immediately searched for Ayumi in the middle of rubble, ignoring one of the teachers and Nao's warning about impending debris collapse.
- Blatant Lies: He rejects all of his suitors at his prestigious high school, saying that he's too busy studying. Not only does he not actually study, but he only has eyes for Yumi, and the real reason he's saying no is that he won't settle for anyone less.
- Break the Haughty: In the very first episode, his cheating gets exposed, he gets beaten up by Nao, he gets forcibly transferred to another school and the madonna of his school dumps him.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: Considering that he was able to pull a Rescue Romance that involved a near miss with a truck which involved pinpoint maneuvers with error meaning his intended rescue or him being severely injured or killed, he has to have some sort of smarts about him, he just chooses abusing his power over studying. Even while relying on his power to ace the exams, he's smart enough to realize that it isn't easy to identify who's an honors student (since students from several different schools take the exams), so he scouts out cram schools to find out who has the best chance of acing the test.
- Broken Ace: He's popular, charming, handsome, and a honor student. In reality, he's a selfish and manipulative Jerkass and a complete cheater.
- Bystander Syndrome: He just stands and watches as some bullies beat the crap out of Nao until it's over.
- Catchphrase: He often mentally snarks "another incomplete ability!", or "another half-assed ability" in the English dub, after learning about an ability's drawbacks.
- Cheaters Never Prosper: Yu uses his ability to transfer his soul to another person to look at their answers on the test. This catches up with him after Nao catches him in the act repeatedly.
- Chick Magnet: Lots of girls wanted to date him, but he turned them all down, only to later get dumped by Yumi later due to new circumstances requiring him to attend a school faraway from her.
- Cooldown Hug: On the receiving end courtesy of his brother Shunsuke in Episode 11, which proved to be necessary lest he collapse the facility.
- Curb-Stomp Battle:
- He dishes out a few of these in episode 7 after picking fights with various people.
- He does it again in episode 13 during his mission to seek out every ability user around the world, and is attacked by some hostile people. Unfortunately none of their attacks even hit him thanks to his newfound powers as he strips people of them.
- Cynicism Catalyst: Ayumi's death serves as a catalyst for turning Yuu's life upside down. He only gets better thanks to Nao.
- Deadpan Snarker: As the Only Sane Man of his friends, expect him to be quite sarcastic at almost everything they do or say.Joujirou: Oh, today I have a marvelous result. A cutlet sandwitch.
Yuu: You call that a success? With so many wounds all over you? - The Dreaded: He becomes this in episode 13, by all ability users around the world. Not only does he have many powers, he also is the only person with the ability to steal said powers.
- Drunk with Power: Zigzagged and discussed.
- Nao first approaches him to warn him about using his abilities for good instead of for selfish gains, lest he attract some unwanted attention from a certain organization that wants to use him as a lab rat. She later shows the aftermath of what happened to her brother who was in an insane asylum after having been experimented on. He reluctantly helps her student council to find other ability users to protect them, or at least get them to stop using their powers.
- He does start attempting to experiment with this in episode 7 against random thugs he picks fights with while suffering a Heroic BSoD and some Sanity Slippage. Fortunately he's saved before really going off the deep end by Nao, who was watching him the entire time. And in episode 10, it's further revealed that fortunately he was using his ability on ordinary people. Had he realized that he could steal other ability user's powers, he might have very well decided to abuse it and caught the attention of the scientists were it not for Nao.
- By Episode 13, the massive number of powers he had accumulated so far almost led to the worst possible outcome, with him contemplating world domination.
- Embarrassing Nickname: "The One-Eyed Grim Reaper," is this to him when he first hears it.
- Evil Costume Switch: Twice. In episode 7, he's wearing dark red hoodie jacket with maroon shirt as he slips some sanity after Ayumi's death. In episode 13, he's wearing black robe hoodie jacket with dark red shirt after his memories starts fading away and he's Drunk with Power.
- Expy: He's a deliberate but Played With reference to Lelouch vi Britannia from Code Geass. They both have a power that light up their eyes to manipulate others, share a similar pose in the openings. Plus, Yuu imitates Lelouch's Psychotic Smirk and Evil Laugh down to a T, and even says his "All According to Plan" Catchphrase at one point. Both have younger sisters whom they are very protective of, too. They both also sink too low that they almost do drugs before their Love Interests intervene. However, unlike Lelouch, Yuu manages to subvert the With Great Power Comes Great Insanity and Jumping Off the Slippery Slope tropes before he gets too far with his power.
- Eye Colour Change: His brown eyes turn yellowish-gold when he uses his ability.
- Eye Scream: He gets his right eye slashed by an enemy power-wielder during his attempt to save a kidnapped Tomori in Episode 11. This also prevents him from using his time leap - perhaps permanently.
- Glowing Eyes: When he starts using his ability, his eyes glowing light green.
- A God Am I: Yuu discusses this topic twice, once in episode 7, and again in episode 13. However, he doesn't do much beyond thinking about it, the first time due to Nao intervening before he start really Jumping Off the Slippery Slope. And in the second instance, her notes gives him a vague reminder of The Promise he made to her to return to Japan after stealing every ability user's powers and preventing their exploitation.
- Grand Theft Me: How he cheats in exams by copying the answers of the best students around to gain the upper hand in class. He also uses this to make others do what he wants to do to others without physically hurting his own hands. However, this only works for 5 seconds.

- He Who Fights Monsters: He starts wandering into Jumping Off the Slippery Slope territory in episode 13, and starts going a little crazy due to his mission of finding ability users worldwide. Fortunately he still has enough of a moral compass thanks to Nao's notes to fulfill his mission without killing anyone.
- Hikikomori: Temporarily becomes one for part of Episode 7 due to his sister's death.

In episode 13, he becomes (in)famous around the world as "One-Eyed Grim Reaper", a nickname he himself finds out to be embarrassing.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: At the start of the series, he exploits his powers for his own personal gains, even going so far as to cause an accident and endanger Yumi's life to stage a Rescue Romance. Through Character Development, he's still not the friendliest person to be around, but gradually becomes more considerate of others and self-sacrificing.
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: It turns out that his memories were erased by someone named Maedomari. It only resurfaced through Sala's singing voice in Episode 9.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Yuu attempts to stab one of the thug's right eye with wooden skewer as part of his intimidation to him in episode 7. In the new timeline in episode 11, his exact right eye got slashed by another ability wielder.

- Oh, Crap!:

- In Episode 6, when Kumagami finds an ability user inside the condo, the student council realizes that if none of the parents living in the condo can be ability users, it can only be a student who's at home sick. Yuu puts two and two together, then realizes Ayumi might have an ability.
- He also panics after losing an eye, and thus the ability to go back in time in Episode 11, resulting in his Collapse power destroying the building and killing Kumagami.

- One-Man Army: Forced on him in episode 11 when a group of people target him. Also utilized in episode 13 when he goes around the world stripping every ability user's powers to prevent their exploitation. And in some instances he delivers a Curb-Stomp Battle to the more hostile groups he encounters.
- Only Sane Man: He often comes off this way when dealing with his fellow student council members' and sister's eccentricities.
- Pose of Supplication: When he uses his power, his body slumps forward in a humiliating pose where he's bent over on his knees, with his butt protruding upward.
- Power Misidentification: He believes that his power is to possess another person for five seconds. However, he later finds out that his actual ability is stealing the powers of other superpowered individuals; the five-second possession is just a side effect.
- Power Parasite: Episode 9 reveals Yuu's true ability is "Plunder", or stealing the abilities from others, along with benefits and drawbacks of those abilities.

- Sanity Slippage: His progress in his worldwide journey to strip off all ability wielders of their powers subjected him to greatly increasing levels of mental stress, to the point that he started causing unnecessary destruction, almost killed civilians, and even contemplated godhood.
- She Is Not My Girlfriend: He repeatedly denies being interested in Nao when Ayumi starts teasing him about the possibility of Nao being his girlfriend.
- Story-Breaker Power: Once the true nature of his possession is revealed, it becomes the most broken superpower in the series. Yuu doesn't simply possess bodies, he can steal the powers of other people and use them for himself. With this, he can take his older brother's time travel power to save Ayumi by stealing her collapse power before it kills her. At the end of the series, he steals the powers of every single ability user in the world so no teenager is abducted for experimentation again.
- Super-Power Meltdown: His stealing of Ayumi's collapse ability subjects him to be vulnerable to this, as proven in Episode 11. Twice.

- Took a Level in Kindness: He starts out as a self-absorbed and manipulative Jerkass, but he slowly begins to show concern for others and becomes a more decent person. He temporarily backs away from this in episode 7, until Nao beats some sense into him. Lampshaded by Sala, who is comments that he was a nice person but is still able to tell that he wasn't always like that, despite having just met him.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Though he claims to absolutely hate it, Yuu likes Ayumi's rice omelettes, and will often eat it all while complaining about the odd sweet taste due to her pizza sauce. Nao uses this to help bring him back after he runs away and starts risking his life by picking fights with strangers.
- Victory-Guided Amnesia: Sure, he's able to plunders every ability wielder around the earth, with the very high price: his memory about everyone around him.
- Walking the Earth: What he decides to do in the final episode.

- With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Narrowly averts this in the finale, despite his Sanity Slippage.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: He doesn't like roller coasters and other high speed rides. Naturally, he has to spend the entire day at an amusement park at one point.

The Student Council President of Hoshinoumi Academy. She has the ability to make herself disappear, but this is limited to one person of her choosing at a time.
- Adaptation Dye-Job: Her hair color is stated to be grey, yet it sometimes look white or even platinum blonde.
- Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Yuu. Nao herself points out they have the worst compatibility, but they develop feelings for each other over time.
- Berserk Button: Don't diss ZHIEND in her presence. She also doesn't appreciate people calling it "rock" instead of "post-rock".
- Big Eater: Eats a lot. Even the sandwiches which weren't eaten by Yuu did not escape her.
- Big Sister Instinct: Towards Ayumi, also towards Iori Sekiguchi in OVA/special episode.
- Boring, but Practical: Her ability to hide her presence from a single person doesn't seem all that useful at first glance, but it's perfect for when she needs to observe/stalk a specific person. She ends up getting a lot of use out of her ability when it comes to tracking down individuals with superpowers or following Yu around during his Heroic BSoD.
- Broken Bird: She promised herself to never trust anyone again after finding out her "friends" were children of the scientists experimenting on her brother.
- Bully Magnet: She's bullied and beaten by her classmates on regular basis.
- Camera Fiend: She carries her video camera with her at all times. When a man punches her, she's more concerned about the fact that her camera might have been damaged. This later turns out to be because she wants to keep the camera to film a music video for ZHIEND, her brother's favorite band.
- Catchphrase: "Such a turn off!"
- Cruel to Be Kind: Her general modus operandi. She's willing to go so far as to use blackmail to get people to stop using their powers, but does so to prevent them from being experimented on.
- Damsel in Distress: In Episode 11, she gets kidnapped by some thugs to lure Yuu out.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Episode 2 reveals that she had an older brother who had the ability to manipulate sound. Unfortunately he was experimented heavily on, and once he lost said ability, the scientists dumped him into a hospital where they'd have no more responsibility for him. As a result, Nao ran away before they could do the same thing to her.
- Deadpan Snarker: When she gets annoyed (often at Joujirou's obsession with Yusarin), her generally polite speech switches to Misa-levels of crude, masculine barbs.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: At the start of the series, she greatly dislikes Yuu and how he abuses his powers. She slowly warms up to him over time as they become friends and support each other.
- Don't You Dare Pity Me!: She snarks at Yuu's pity after he sees her brother's Sanity Slippage, and later more bitterly when he expressed concern for her injuries only after standing back and watching her get beaten up by a mob.
- Fan Disservice: In episode 11. She's chained to a wall, hanged by her wrists, stripped down to her underwear and covered in bruises.
- Fangirl: Of the band ZHIEND.
- Freudian Excuse: Nao's cynicism is a product of being betrayed by those closest to her. Her mother convinced Nao and Kazuki to go to a school where they would be experimented on, apparently for personal gain. Nao's so-called friends at her middle school were children of the scientists experimenting on her brother, and pretended to be her friend in order to manipulate her.
- Friendless Background: She was forced into this, after finding out her "friends" in the new middle school she transferred to with her older brother were children of the scientists experimenting on him. As a result, she found it hard to make friends and had trust issues.

- Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: She snaps Yuu out of his Heroic BSoD in episode 7.
- Girlish Pigtails: She ties some of her hair in twin tails.
- Good is Not Nice: Nao's method of forcing Yuu to learn the errors of his ways for abusing his ability in the first episode is to beat him up and blackmail him into a Heel–Face Turn. This later gets Deconstructed when Joujirou reveals that this wasn't the first time Nao resorted to these types of methods and none of her classmates actually like her because of it.
- Guile Heroine: In order to achieve her goals, she often cunningly manipulates others.
- Headphones Equal Isolation: Usually wears her earphones to listen to ZHIEND's songs from her MP3 player. She's even wearing them while being beaten by a lot of girls in episode 5.
- Icy Blue Eyes: Cool, aloof and calculating, just as Nao herself.
- Insistent Terminology: She'll have you remember ZHIEND is not a rock band, but a post-rock band.
- Invisibility with Drawbacks: She can only be invisible to one person at a time.
- Invisible Jerkass: She apparently has a habit of beating up people who annoy her while they can't see her. However, everyone but her current victim can see what she's doing, and she became quite unpopular as a result.
- I Will Wait for You: Part of The Promise with Yuu. She also partially lampshades this trope during said promise.Nao: "I'll say it. 'I'll be waiting.'"
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She's bossy, self-righteous, indifferent and rude, but she's still a good person deep down.
- Jerkass Has a Point: Saying that Misa is already dead and that it's unnatural for her to still be channeled through her sister's body is a harsh thing to say to Misa's friends, but it's true. Shou gets upset, but Kouta gets him to calm down, and he reluctantly accepts the point. Misa herself knows this, which is why after saying goodbye to her parents and leaving a letter behind to her sister, she allows Yuu to plunder her ability, ending her existence.
- Kick Chick: Whenever she needs to beat someone up, she often incorporates kicks into them. She literally kicks the sense out of Yuu when he was going downhill after Ayumi's death.
- The Leader: As Student Council President, she leads their missions to find ability users and talking them out of abusing their powers.
- Magic Skirt: Her modesty stays safe despite all the kicking.
- Major Injury Underreaction: Nao seems to brush off the somewhat brutal beatdown she gets from some girls in episode 5. When Yu approaches her, she seems more interested in the fact that they have another student to find.
- Morality Chain: For Yuu, especially later in the show. In the finale, it's thanks to the notes she made that Yuu doesn't develop a god complex and try to conquer the world after stealing so many powers.
- Mystical White Hair: She has grey hair and she's one of the people with special abilities.
- Neat Freak: Implied. When she was over at Yuu’s apartment she caught his kitchen sink with a few dirty dishes, gets angry and insists on washing it when he shrugs off that there was no rush in cleaning only a few dishes.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: In the special episode, Yuu is alarmed at how the normally dispassionate Nao rages at Honoka for distancing herself from her supposed best friend Iori just so she won't suffer any emotional turmoil from Iori's impending illness, insisting that Honoka be there to comfort her while she still has the opportunity.
- Parental Abandonment: She doesn't mention having a father, as her mother raised her and her brother. And she doesn't seem to trust her mother either anymore after being sold out to a group of scientists who then experimented on her brother to the point that his mind broke.
- Pragmatic Hero: She usually either blackmails or intimidates gifted children into either stopping the use of their powers for self-gain or enrolling in Hoshinoumi Academy. However, she does it so they won't be captured and end up like her brother.
- She Cleans Up Nicely: Yuu blushes the first time he sees her in casual girly clothes.
- Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Downplayed. She makes Yuu promise to her that as long as he keeps his promise to steal every power and successfully gets rid of all of it, only then she will date him.
- Stealth Insult: After Ayumi suggests that she and Yuu would be a great couple, Nao says that someone with his intelligence and looks would be out of her league. It sounds like she's modestly saying that Yuu's too good for her, but in reality, she thinks of Yuu as an idiot.
- Student Council President: Despite being a first year student in high school. Joujirou later tells Yu that the student council isn't elected; rather, they're picked largely on who will use their ability the most, explaining why Nao is president despite being largely disliked. And considering Nao doesn't want anyone else with powers to suffer the same fate as her brother, she works hard to find said people and either get them to stop using their powers to prevent them from being captured and experimented on, or transfer them to her school to better protect them.
- Through His Stomach: In Episode 7, she tries to make Yuu feel better by cooking for him one of the Ayumi's sweet rice omelettes. She succeeds.
- Town Girls: She's the stoic and cunning Neither to Yusa's Femme and Misa's Butch.
- Tsundere: The Harsh type. She usually has an arrogant and aloof attitude, treating Yuu with indifference and disdain. There are moments in which she becomes nice to Yuu, showing she does care about him more than she lets on.Yuu: Wait, didn't she hate me? Then why is she getting so friendly with me now?
- Tsurime Eyes: She has sharp eyes.
- Unbroken Vigil:
- In episode 7, it is revealed she uses her invisibility powers to watch over Yuu for weeks after Ayumi's death. She does not interfere until he threatens his own health with drugs and proceeds to finally bring him out of his Heroic BSoD.
- In episode 9, she stays by Yuu's side at the hospital until he wakes up after he passes out during the ZHIEND concert.
- In episode 13, she stays by Yuu's side at the hospital after he's completed his mission and his promise to her. Sadly, he lost all of his memories about her.
- When She Smiles: The first time in anime Nao showing her truly cheerful expression is in episode 5, which makes Yuu that saw her smile blushing a bit.
Joujirou Takajou
Voiced by: Takahiro Mizushima (Japanese), Lucien Dodge (English)
A member of the student council. He can move at very fast speeds to make it appear as if he is teleporting, but he is not able to totally control where he stops, resulting in him being hospitalized and always having a new wound somewhere on his body. To counteract this, he has to wear protective gear under his school uniform.
- Awesome, but Impractical: His Super-Speed makes him extremely fast, but it's also difficult to control.
- Clark Kent Outfit: Lampshaded by Yu, who comments that he's the type that looks slimmer with his clothes on when the two are bathing in episode 5.
- Curtains Match the Window: He has dark grey hair and eyes.
- Fan Boy: Goes into fanboy mode when he hears about Yusa, a current pop idol.
- Head Desk: When he sees his favorite idol Yusa turning from a cutesy girl to a brash trash talker with her special power, Joujirou reacts by smashing his head into the wall which causes a small fountain of blood to spray out from his head.
- Iron Butt-Monkey: He does wear some protection under his uniform to minimize the damage sustained when he's using his Super-Speed power. But that said, he causes a lot of destruction every time he lands somewhere, and often has Amusing Injuries, such as bleeding profusely from his head in episode 2 due to crashing into some large glass windows in the cafeteria.
- Large Ham: He is usually composed most of the time but when he is triggered by the situation (particularly anything regarding Yusa), he tends to go over-the-top.
- Mundane Utility: He uses his ability to buy some sandwiches without having to wait in line in the cafeteria. Unfortunately, with this method, the sandwiches he grabs are random due to not having time to pick, and the resultant shock wave of his passage overturns every table in the vicinity. On top of that, Yuu mentions all the sandwiches are squashed as well.
- Muscles Are Meaningful: According to himself, the protector does not do enough to protect his body from the side effect of his power, so he must be strong enough to withstand, or at least minimalize the damage.
- No Guy Wants an Amazon: He adores the cutesy and girly Yusa and can't stand it when Yusa's vulgar and violent sister Misa possesses her body.
- Shipper on Deck: Along with Yusarin to Yuu and Nao.
- Super-Speed: This guy could give Quicksilver a run for his money, but unlike him, Joujirou doesn't have the same level of control. As such, after every use of his powers, he's left with a huge amount of wounds and lots of collateral damage.

- Cool Big Bro: Flashbacks indicate that he was a doting older brother towards Yu and Ayumi. He kisses them both "goodbye" before their memories of him get erased.
- Curtains Match the Window: Has grey hair and grey eyes, even before going blind.
- The Dreaded: To the scientists. He's considered as the most dangerous ability user by the scientists, thanks to his "time leap" ability. He was imprisoned in solitary confinement, complete with restrained limbs and closed eyes.
- Heroic BSoD: Got one after Kumagami's death, though not to the same extent as Yuu did after losing Ayumi.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Kumagami, who Shunsuke regards as his very best friend. Kumagami's death hits Shunsuke very hard.
- Long-Lost Relative: He hid himself from Yuu and Ayumi all this time, and his existence was also erased from their memories.

- You Should Have Died Instead: Implied with Yuu compared to Kumagami. After finding Yuu alive in the rubble, Shichino says that he'll be angry if Yuu survives but Nao and/or Kumagami die. When Kumagami ends up dying as a result of the building collapse, Shichino says it wouldn't have happened if Yuu hadn't been "trying to save (his) own ass."
