Ultimate Apprentice
Voiced by: Sinyuvuu
Hiroaki Uzuki, the Former Ultimate Apprentice. Who was he an apprentice to? Growing up poor, all he ever wanted was to be acknowledged by his workaholic father who never paid much attention to him. This along with the tarnished reputation of their family name spurred him to take on different jobs in an attempt to prove himself. Surprisingly enough, he proved adept at handling various tasks with incredible proficiency to the point of being branded an Ultimate. Hiroaki dreams of one day restoring the Uzuki family's honor using his newfound talents.

- Berserk Button: The current iteration of Hiroaki is more temperamental, getting agitated against those who act arrogantly or clash with his personal ideals.
- Broken Ace: Is ridiculously talented, yet mentally crippled by his constant need to prove himself to others.
- Expy: He shares similarities to Hajime Hinata of Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. Both male leads have self-esteem issues stemming from inadequacy, easily get into arguments with clashing personalities, and are eager to make something of themselves.
- Fallen-on-Hard-Times Job: Had to go through a number of different jobs to make ends meet. Fortunately, the experiences he accumulated led to the discovery of his ultimate talent.

- Malicious Slander: He and his family were subjected to this in the past which in turn motivates him to prove naysayers wrong.

Tropes that applied to him before the story's rewrite.
- Amnesiac Hero: In the original story, he was the only killing game participant who couldn't remember his classmates and school life. This is used against him by Hide in the class trials.

Ultimate Angler
Voiced by: Lumisau
Introducing Ikki Namiki, the Former Ultimate Angler. This young man can be best described as unpleasantly reserved, collecting his thoughts for a moderate period of time before speaking.

- Berserk Button: Does not tolerate hypocrites.

Ultimate Yoga Guru
Voiced by: Karnaval
Bussho Saji is the Former Ultimate Yoga Guru. Sympathetic and soft-spoken, he has a tendency to act as the voice of reason for others whenever conflicts arise.

- Ambiguously Brown: He has noticeably tan skin.
- Art Evolution: Bussho's character design was greatly modified to look less generic and more befitting of his status as a yoga guru.

- The Determinator: He does his best to ensure that his agendas are met.

Ultimate Forum Admin
Voiced by: N/A
Introducing Shoko Otaki, the Former Ultimate Forum Admin. To say Shoko has a short fuse is an understatement. With a zero tolerance policy against tomfoolery, he often expresses his loathing for it either through cursing or mockery. Because other kids would often tease him for his height, he found solace in the internet where he became extremely active in forums.

- Air Quotes: One of his character busts has him do this.
- Berserk Button: Has a fit whenever someone makes nonsensical statements.

Tropes that applied to him before the story's rewrite.

Voiced by: N/A

Ever since his father died from a car accident, Manzo developed an overprotective streak towards his mother and often looks after her.

Female Characters
Ultimate Theorist
Voiced by: Caitlin Myers
The main female character of Kill/Cure. As befitting of the Former Ultimate Theorist, Hide specializes in making analytical deductions that are usually spot-on. Raised by her grandparents, she took up political science to follow in her father's footsteps as a career politician and later became engrossed in human philosophy.

- Conveniently an Orphan: Shiori grew up as one, though that didn't stop her from finding success in the world of academics.
- Does Not Like Spam: She apparently hates meat.
- Expy: Shiori is similar to Chisa Yukizome being that she was a former Ultimate who now works as a teacher and cares deeply for her students.
- Hot Teacher: Is rather attractive for a teacher.
- Lawful Pushover: She's willing to excuse her students' misbehavior but not to a certain extent like most examples. This may stem from her distaste for control freaks.
- Old Maid: Shiori is technically this on account of being older than 25, though she doesn't seem to mind.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Patient yet firm, Shiori strongly believes that anyone can achieve great things so long as they have the drive to succeed.
- Romanticism: She has a love for the genre.
- Rousseau Was Right: Harbors this belief on account of her strong faith in Bitokukawa Academy and what it stands for.
- Sensei-chan: Meets some of the standards expected of this trope, though her competence has her come across as more of a Cool Teacher instead.
Tropes that applied to her before the story's rewrite.
- Cool Old Lady: She worries about being seen as a "pedagogue" by her students, so she's willing to let them get away with their misbehavior to come off as this trope.
- In-Series Nickname: "Mrs. Frizzle", by Kunitaro.
- Just the First Citizen: Doesn't consider herself on the same level as the current batch of Ultimates she teaches and prefers that they receive more praise than her.
Other Characters
Ultimate Counselor
Voiced by: N/A
Kokorosaru is an AI-controlled monkey that monitors the killing game. He identifies himself as the "Ultimate Counselor". At first impression, Kokorosaru is a kind and lovable monkey that claims he doesn't want anyone to play the killing game, providing motives to deter participants from doing so. However, whenever someone decides to kill anyway, due to some unfortunate event, he temporarily transforms into an aggressive and twisted form to host the class trials.
- Anti-Villain: Despite organizing the killing game, he claims not to want any murders and creates motives to discourage them.
- Berserk Button: Is said to have a twisted and dangerous form if any of the students end up dying. Counts as a Superpowered Evil Side.
- Expy: Of Monomi/Usami. Along with being main mascot characters who try to encourage the students to get along with each other, the teaser shows that he isn't very respected by the students.
- Maniac Monkeys: A zigzagged example. Even though he hates murder and pushes the students to not kill each other, he's still the self-proclaimed organizer of the killing game. And then there's what happens when a potential student goes ahead and kills someone.
- Meaningful Name: Kokorosaru is translated as "heart monkey" in Japanese. Remove the first and last syllables, however, and his name takes on a more sinister meaning: "korosa (to kill)".
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Sports these when under the influence of his alter ego.
- Ambiguous Situation: His whereabouts or what his status is during the events of the killing game remains unknown.
- Parental Neglect: Is guilty of this on account of working all day, leaving the household entirely to his gentle wife.
- Workaholic: Him being this trope is why his son has serious issues.
Tropes that applied to him before the story's rewrite.
- Expy: His initial role as headmaster of the designated academy along with being the father of one of the main protagonists would have made him similar to Jin Kirigiri.
- The Ghost: Around the time Moboxer's initial story was being used, Mr. Uzuki had yet to officially appear despite having been mentioned every now and again.
