    Corpse God 

Corpse God / "Polka Shinoyama"

Voiced by: Yuki Sakakihara (Japanese), Morgan Berry (English, as Polka), William Ofoegbu (English, as the Corpse God)

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

A necromancer from another world who in his final battle with the Calamity Crusher activates a reincarnation spell that sees him possessing the body of recently-killed high schooler Polka Shinoyama. Having escaped his world and the Geldwood Religion that hunted him, he now pursues his ultimate goal: a peaceful life.


  • Affectionate Nickname: In the other world, those close to the Corpse God used an abbreviated version of his real name as a sign of affection and closeness. Fram, his Best Friend, called Rizdilusia "Riz" for short.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: He's a decent person even though he's an undead. Mess with him or his friends and he will remind anyone who hurt them that he is a necromancer that puts his victims in a Fate Worse than Death.
  • Big Brother Instinct: The Corpse God is protective of children, seeing them as precious and not wanting them to go through the same awful childhood he experienced at his father's hands. After learning that the real Polka is his younger half-brother, the Corpse God becomes even more determined to keep his little brother Polka and his body safe.
  • Blue-and-Orange Morality: While his morals generally track well with what is "right" and "wrong", the reasoning behind them is skewed due to his upbringing as a necromancer. He avoids killing both because he views life as precious due to seeing the dead and because he knows deaths will only cause him trouble down the road.
  • Brain in a Jar: What he was reduced to just before his reincarnation.
  • Chronic Hero Syndrome: Easlies notes that Corpse God's greatest weakness is his selflessness, as he'll often help others even to his own detriment.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Downplayed. Being a centuries-old necromancer who had become a Brain in a Jar controlling a giant skeleton, many of the Corpse God's opinions and behavior come off as... odd, even for an otherworlder. He claims that the souls of people are like toys to him, but since toys are things that make children happy, they are precious and should be treated with care. He sometimes converses with and takes requests from lost souls out in the open, drinking fruit juice for the first time makes him cry Tears of Joy due to how delicious it is, and he briefly considered opening a business to openly practice necromancy as a part of his goal to have a "peaceful life" before Kuruya points out how crazy the idea is.
  • Con Man: Zig-Zagged. He's working with Kuruya and Misaki as a diviner and fortuneteller and does classic hot and cold reading, but since he can see the souls of the dead, he actually can communicate with souls which makes his act all the more believable.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: Necromancy was denounced as heresy by the Geldwood Religion in his old world and summoning humongous skeletons can look extremely scary, but the Corpse God is actually a genuinely nice person who wanted to be left alone and live in peace.
  • The Faceless: Flashbacks to his original, living body always have the upper half of his face obscured by a skull mask and hood, making it impossible to make out any of his features. This was likely intended to hide any potential resemblance between him and Polka, as they're half-brothers.
  • Fish out of Water: Due to hailing from a fantasy setting, the Corpse God is frequently confused by things in modern-day Japan because of how different they are from his home. For instance, he's eager to obtain stones filled with magical power for the sake of performing rituals, but is aghast at the price tags. Stones that were commonplace back home are considered precious gems on Earth and can thus go for millions of yen.
  • Friend to All Children: Corpse God has an enormous soft spot for children and will do everything in his power to keep them safe and even save their souls if they died before.
  • Good Is Not Soft: Corpse God prefers not to kill unless it's necessary. However, he's not above breaking an enemy's mind and body while leaving them alive in order to protect his peaceful life.
  • Magical Eye: Possesses the Evil Eye which gives him the ability to see and hear the souls of the dead. Interestingly, he finds out that the ability seems to be tied to the soul rather than any physical attribute since he retains the ability after reincarnating. Though this may actually be because Polka had this ability too. It later turns out that it extends to elemental spirits as well which is a known ability of his bloodline.
  • Manchurian Agent: One of the Corpse God's biggest regrets during his time in the other world is being turned into one by his enemies. During his resurrection, his spirit was tampered with so that his already great empathy would be overwhelmed by the hatred of those who depised the Empire, compelling him to kill his best friend, the emperor Fram.
  • Mundane Luxury: He's overwhelmed with happiness after drinking orange juice for the first time, crying Tears of Joy while wishing he could have shared it with all of his followers. Justified in that he'd never had anything like it before on top of being an undead lich made of nothing but bones until recently.
  • Necromancer: The magic the accurately-named Corpse God mastered. He can summon skeletons, revive people as undead or even turn them into vampires with magic. He also can summon the souls of people that contracted with him.
  • Nice Guy: Corpse God is deeply empathetic and will always do his best to help others. His deepest desire is to live a peaceful life in a land where children are happy.
  • Noble Demon: Corpse God is a genuinely polite, well-mannered, and kind skeleton god monster to anyone that does not mess with him.
  • Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: After becoming undead, people of his world attacked him and tried to hunt him down just for being a 'monster'. The truth is that he always has been a genuinely Nice Guy that just wants to live peacefully with the people he cares about.
  • Our Liches Are Different: After Corpse God was assassinated by his father, Easlies converted his brain into a phylactery to animate a human skeleton. During his hermitage, he replaced it with the massive construct that would fight Calamity Crusher.
  • Parental Abandonment: His father sold him out to sorcerers. As he later finds out, his abused mother fled to Earth eventually and married Rozan Shinoyama with whom she had Polka.
  • Possessing a Dead Body: His form of "reincarnation". He took over the body of a boy who had just gotten killed.
  • Power Dyes Your Hair: A minor case but the black streak in Polka's hair only appeared after the Corpse God entered his body, Polka's natural hair color is pure white.
  • Practically Different Generations: Riz later learns that his mother Kanon fled to Earth and married Rozan Shinoyama. Their child, Polka, was 16 when Riz reincarnated in his half-brother's body, while Riz is several centuries old.
  • Reincarnate in Another World: A "reverse Isekai" example, he escaped death in the fantasy world by coming to modern-day Japan.
  • Skilled, but Naive: The Corpse God is an incredibly skilled necromancer, but is noted to possess a child-like naivety. His first death came about when he was lured away by his greedy, debt-ridden father and stabbed in the back.
  • Soul Jar: After being assassinated, the Corpse God's soul was bound to a phylactery containing his brain.
  • Technical Pacifist: Despite being called the god of death of his previous world, if you don't do something atrocious and personal to him like murdering his loved ones, he won't be interested in killing you. But sometimes you'd wish he does.
  • Tranquil Fury: When he finds out Habaki sold his daughter to the Bastard Children of Sabaramond for personal gain, he remains outwardly composed while asking Clarissa for permission to tear his soul apart.
  • The Unpronounceable: Corpse God goes by the name of the body he took over. When asked what his real name is, he mentions that his name is probably a mouthful for Japanese people and having two names would be confusing. It's later revealed that his name is Rizdilusia "Riz" Redrazalf.

    Misaki Sakimiya 

Misaki Sakimiya

Voiced by: Inori Minase (Japanese), Bree Han (English)

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

Known as Zaki the Killer, an assassin who specializes in taking out mobsters and other assassins. She killed the original Polka as part of a contract to see if she had it in her to kill a "good person" after completing a job where she killed the man who butchered her family. When "Polka" miraculously comes back to life, she returns to finish the job, only to be killed and then raised as a zombie by the Corpse God, but because of how thrilling it was, she's okay with that.


  • Attractive Zombie: Corpse God restores Misaki's body and revives her as a zombie after he accidentally kills her. Since she didn't suffer any unrestorable damage and doesn't rot, Misaki still retains her very attractive looks.
  • Cursed with Awesome: How she views being a zombie. Sure, she's technically dead, and her senses are dulled making her easier to catch off guard, but she also has Super-Strength, paralyzing saliva, and a Healing Factor.
  • Cute and Psycho: Seems like a cute, nice, cheerful girl at first. She's also the assassin who killed the real Polka Shinoyama, and she tries to finish the job.
  • Feel No Pain: After becoming undead, her sense of pain has dulled. She can still feel something, but that doesn't really stop her at all.
  • Four Eyes, Zero Soul: Subverted. She's a Serial Killer who wears glasses. However, contrary to her initial belief, she does still have empathy left in her.
  • Healing Factor: After turning into a zombie, most wounds that she receives heal without any issue. If she suffers a bigger wound, she can also consume raw meat. After Corpse God turns her into a vampire, Misaki's healing abilities increase dramatically. Getting bisected doesn't bother her at all.
  • Hitman with a Heart: Double subverted. Misaki initially only targets other murderers until she wonders if she will feel bad about killing an innocent person like Polka. Seemingly being unfazed after killing Polka, she decides to kill herself. However, after being revived as a zombie, spending more time with "Polka" and learning that she was Easily Forgiven by the real Polka, Misaki realizes that she does feel sorry for killing him, so her morals haven't gone completely off the deep end yet.
  • It Amused Me: Her reason for wanting to kill Polka in the first place: just to see if she felt it easy to kill "Good People" just as easily.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Especially early on, Misaki provides a lot of fanservice.
  • Nothing Left to Do but Die: After killing the man who murdered her family and then her first innocent target, Misaki concluded she had fulfilled all of her life's ambitions. She then attempted suicide, reasoning that the only type of person she hadn't killed yet was herself.
  • Our Vampires Are Different: Eventually evolves into one thanks to the Corpse God. Unlike the classical vampires she can walk in the sun and does not drink blood, but her saliva carries paralysis properties and she can split her body into bats as her power grows.
  • The Paralyzer: Misaki used to use a nail gun to immobilize her victims. After Corpse God turns her into a zombie, her saliva gains paralyzing properties.
  • Parental Abandonment: Misaki's parents were murdered in front of her by a serial killer. This deeply traumatized her and she decided to become one herself as a result.
  • Serial-Killer Killer: Prior to killing Polka, Misaki only killed other killers. However she never had any actual compunction against killing "good people", it's just she'd never taken the opportunity.
  • Shameless Fanservice Girl: Misaki isn't embarrassed to strip down to her underwear or less in front of Corpse God, who always looks away in shame.
  • Super-Strength: After being revived as a zombie, Misaki's physical strength drastically increased. Just one kick from Misaki sends Arase flying and he immediately remarks that her strength is unreal.
  • Voodoo Zombie: Corpse God revived Misaki as a zombie with his necromancer powers.
  • You Killed My Father: Before she targeted Polka and was subsequently killed by the Corpse God; she managed to finally track down the criminal responsible for killing her parents and got her vengeance on him. However, she states that she does it simply out of a perverse fascination with murder rather than for vengeance.

    Takumi Kuruya 

Takumi Kuruya

Voiced by: Yūma Uchida (Japanese), Brandon Acosta (English)

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

A specialist in all things digital with a special fondness for drones, Takumi is one of Clarissa's subordinates who provides overwatch and intel gathering for jobs. After Clarissa agrees to help Corpse God, Takumi is assigned to help him get established.


  • How the Mighty Have Fallen: Takumi was once a star of the tech world, founding a major software company at fourteen years old. However, this attracted attention from hostile actors who not only stole the company but also forced his parents to commit suicide. Takumi was intended to die with them, but escaped and found his way into the criminal underworld.
  • One-Way Visor: Takumi is never shown without his camera visor because, if his old leader Kuon Higuro is to be believed, he is terrified to take it off. The leader suggests that Takumi has a reality phobia and feels better viewing the world through a camera; that way, the world feels more like a video game.
  • Playful Hacker: He's a NEET who hacks multiple cameras to see what was going on outside of his place. He is also willing to accompany Corpse God in Modern-day Japan.
  • Only Sane Man: Often the one responsible for keeping Misaki or The Corpse God from doing something crazy. In other words, he's the Straight Man.

Shinoyama Family

    Polka Shinoyama 

Polka Shinoyama

Voiced by: Yuuki Sakakihara (Japanese), Morgan Berry (English)

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

The real Polka Shinoyama, whose body the Corpse God is inhabiting.


  • Chuunibyou: Turns out he's this which makes sense considering his age. When the Corpse God talks to Rozan about making him a robot body so he can return Polka's, he instead insists he wants to be a robot instead since it's cooler.
  • Grand Theft Me: While he's already dead at the start, the Corpse God managed to inhabit Polkas' body and reanimate it to serve as his vessel.
  • In Love with Your Carnage: Despite his own death having been caused by Misaki, he shows a sense of infatuation whenever he is around her.
  • Living Toys: Polka's Soul was briefly moved by Corpse God into one of Takumis' aerial drones before being moved again into a patchwork shark doll where he currently resides inside of.
  • Magical Eye: Turns out to have the Evil Eye just like the Corpse God since they inherited the ability from their mother. Unlike the Corpse God he doesn't seem to to use it consciously and is mostly just afraid of ghosts as a result.
  • Major Injury Underreaction: Polka is surprisingly okay with being murdered and having his soul stuffed into a toy. After learning that Rozan is preparing a robot body for the Corpse God to inhabit, Polka angrily asks for said body while demanding a Jet Pack and rocket drills be added to it.
  • Mystical White Hair: His real body has naturally white hair. This alludes to his heritage as the Corpse God's half-brother, as their mother was a woman from another world who possessed the Evil Eye.
  • Posthumous Character: He's just been murdered at the start.
  • Practically Different Generations:
    • Polka is the child of Rozan's second wife, Kanon. The children of Rozan's first son with his first wife are all around the same age of their Uncle Polka.
    • Polka is also this with his half-brother Riz / Corpse God. Riz is several centuries old.
  • Slashed Throat: Seems to be what killed him.
  • Unfazed Everyman: While he can't express himself freely since he is stuck inside of a toy most of the time, it's very clear that Polka is taking all the weirdness unusually well despite mostly being a normal teenager. Need I remind you that this includes, assassins, magic, other worlds and his own death and resurrection. It turns out he has always been like this since he didn't even blink when he caught Yumeji beat up a band of bullies and later grown adults when they were children and was more worried about him than the people bleeding on the floor. Considering Polka has the potential to be a mage like his brother though, it's arguable how much of an everyman he really is.

    Rozan Shinoyama 

Rozan Shinoyama

Voiced by: Kazuhiro Yamaji (Japanese), R. Bruce Elliott (English)

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

The patriarch of the Shinoyama clan and the head of the Shinoyama Financial Group.


  • Cool Old Guy: Rozan has a spry personality despite his health issues. He watches and seems to enjoy the shark movies his shark-obsessed granddaughter recommends him, he immediately recognizes Corpse God isn't his son and threatens him with a katana, and he has a deceptively easygoing demeanor whenever he isn't exuding pressure.
  • Like a Son to Me: After learning that Riz is in fact Kanon's child and the real Polka's half-brother, Rozan comes to see Riz as his son too.
  • Locked Out of the Loop: Despite the Corpse God's expectations to the contrary, Rozan is completely in the dark about his wife Kanon being a traveler from another world. He's even more surprised to learn that Riz is Polka's half-brother.
  • May–December Romance: He was already a grandfather when he had Polka with the much younger looking Kanon. This turns out to be reversed and upgraded to Mayfly–December Romance since he is a normal human while Kanon is extremely longlived and at least several centuries old.

    Kanon Shinoyama 

Kanon Shinoyama


  • The Ghost: Has yet to make a physical appearance despite being pivotal in the Shinoyama and general plotline.
  • Missing Mom: Despite being regularly mentioned and married to Rozan, she doesn't seem to be a major part in Polka's life. She was also this to the Corpse God, though not willingly.
  • Trauma-Induced Amnesia: According to Rozan, she went through something incredibly traumatic before they met which left her an amnesiac. The few bursts of memories she has manifest as nightmares where she calls out to her son Riz, the Corpse God, implying that she is still traumatized by her husband selling him into slavery.

    Takeru Shinoyama 

Takeru Shinoyama

Voiced by: Katsuyuki Konishi (Japanese), Reagan Murdock (English)

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

The oldest son of Gaku Shinoyama.


  • Benevolent Boss: For all his shady business, he is very good to his employees and is willing to hear them out.

    Suzuka Shinoyama 

Suzuka Shinoyama

Voiced by: Sayuri Hara (Japanese), Kimber Martin (English)

The oldest daughter of Gaku Shinoyama who died two years prior to the series.


    Sayo Shinoyama 

Sayo Shinoyama

Voiced by: Yo Taichi (Japanese), Celeste Perez (English)

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

Daughter of Gaku Shinoyama and Polka's niece. Currently unemployed.


  • Cloudcuckoolander: Her entire mindset revolves around sharks, even when they have nothing to do with the situation at hand. It's to the point that she is convinced that no one who likes sharks can be a bad person. Even the Corpse God is thoroughly weirded out by her and can't wrap his head around her logic.
  • Hidden Depths: When Misaki tries to spook Sayo into admitting if she ordered Polka's murder, Sayo tears apart Misaki's reasoning and deduces that what she's really looking for is some way to absolve herself of the guilt she feels for killing him.
  • Otaku: She's completely and utterly fixated on sharks. She spends all of her free time consuming shark-related media and even sleeps in a sharkborg-shaped sleeping bag. After learning that Polka's soul has been stuffed into a sharkborg toy, she demands the Corpse God put her soul in that toy while the real Polka borrows her body.
  • Really Fond of Sleeping: She spends most of her time sleeping, claiming to be a "bedroom security enforcer".

    Kazuki Shinoyama 

Kazuki Shinoyama

Voiced by: Yū Serizawa (Japanese), Trina Nishimura (English)

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

The youngest daughter of the Shinoyama family and Kazuki's older twin sister.


    Shizuki Shinoyama 

Shizuki Shinoyama

Voiced by: Aoi Ichikawa (Japanese), Hayden Daviau (English)

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

The youngest child of the Shinoyama family and Kazuki's younger twin brother.


Shinjuku

    Lisa "Clarissa" Kuraki 

Lisa Kuraki

Voiced by: Atsumi Tanezaki (Japanese), Emi Lo (English)

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

  • Affectionate Nickname: Those close to her call her "Clarissa."
  • Polyamory: It's indicated that all the waitresses of her bar are also some sort of girlfriend to her, something like a harem.
  • Sue Donym: Her mediator name "Clarissa" is based on her real name. If one reads her name in Japanese order and removes the "ki" it becomes Kura Risa or Clarissa.

Police

    Tsubaki Iwanome 

Tsubaki Iwanome

Voiced by: Takuya Eguchi (Japanese), Jason Douglas (English)

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

  • Brains and Brawn: The brains to Arase's brawn. It's not that Arase isn't intelligent or that Iwanome is physically inept; Iwanome, as the Comps-3 manager, has more of an analytical personality while Arase is the more physical one.
  • Good Cop/Bad Cop: The good cop to Arase's bad cop, relatively speaking. We haven't seen them tag in and out of interrogations, necessarily, but Arase's hostile encounter with Takumi's drone and the onlooking Misaki and Corpse God in the alleyway contrasts Iwanome's subtler, friendlier approach to Misaki and Corpse God later on.
  • Motor Mouth: Well, not really, because Iwanome doesn't babble or speak rapid-fire to the point of breathlessness. Simply put, where Arase is The Quiet One, Iwanome is The Talker.

    Kōzaburō Arase 

Kōzaburō Arase

Voiced by: Nobuhiko Okamoto (Japanese), Derick Snow (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kozaburo_arase_anime_8.png

  • Brains and Brawn: The brawns to Iwanome's brains, not that Arase lacks for brains himself. He voluntarily acts protective of Iwanome if not like a bodyguard. Take the time when a cop who has a bone to pick with Iwanome shoves Iwanome against a wall and attempts to punch him: Arase gets between them, grabs the cop's wrist, and squeezes to the point of possible injury. Iwanome has to call him off.
  • Good Cop/Bad Cop: Arase isn't afraid to get a bit rough when he thinks it's necessary, which is all the time. Iwanome prefers to talk things out.
  • The Quiet One: Arase usually lets Iwanome handle most of the talking.

Troublemakers

    Tena Sorimura (Phantom Solitaire) 

Tena Sorimura (Phantom Solitaire)

Voiced by: Hiroki Takahashi (Japanese)

An impossibly skilled Phantom Thief. Albeit he has no magic, he yearns to find it, which gets him involved with other possibly supernatural beings.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: He usually shows himself as a fool and Attention Whore so it's easy to forget that he is an incredibly intelligent man who escaped the police for the entire time until he willingly gave himself up.
  • Confusion Fu: His fighting technique has shades of this, as he scrambles to pull off ridiculous trick after ridiculous trick to survive his own antics.
  • Ice-Cream Koan: Solitaire spouts of an irrelevant philosophical screed he doesn't believe himself just to get a reaction from the Fire-Breathing Bug and get a better feel for them.
  • I Have No Idea What I'm Doing: Almost any chapter he appears in will feature him saying something along those lines, at the very least within his internal monologue.
  • Indy Ploy: Constantly flying by the seat of his pants, showing up at important people's places in order to shock them into giving him crumbs of intel that he can use to figure out what's going on.
  • Impossibly Awesome Magic Trick: Solitaire's feats are all prestidigitation and sleight-of-hand, i.e. done without real magic, but some of them are incredibly impossible-sounding. One would be hard-pressed to explain how he deploys innumerable playing cards like a shield in front of him, or how he carries an entire jack-in-a-box on his person without it being noticeable, within the realm of the mundane, yet nevertheless, he manages it.
  • Refuge in Audacity: Regularly invokes this trope with varying degrees of success.
  • Wild Card: Possibly the biggest one in the series. Solitaire is notable in that he has no loyalty to any of the factions except himself but he has the charisma, wit, and means to turn any situation on its head on a whim.

    Lemmings 

Lemmings AKA Nezu

Voiced by: Shouta Aoi (Japanese), Kieran Flitton (English)

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

A legendary operative who has been tied to murders, smugglings, kidnappings, and a laundry list of other crimes. He's a recurring presence in the story, later taking a side job as a member of Takeru Shinoyama's Dragon King's Palace Agency.


  • Bizarre Human Biology: Supposedly Lemmings is a human who has surpassed the boundary of being human. Still, you try and explain how he moves at extraordinary speeds, disappears without a trace, and survives being shot at without so much as a flinch.
  • The Dreaded: Lemmings is feared as a nigh-unstoppable monster who shrugs off gunfire and knives with ease. His reputation for invincibility makes his mere presence a complicating factor in any engagement, and anyone who can remotely compare to him is seen as a figure to be feared and respected.
  • The Faceless: His face is tightly wrapped in bandages, making it impossible to make out any of his features. Despite this, Lemmings doesn't seem to have any problems seeing, smelling, or hearing. The bottom of his face is revealed in Chapter 108 and not only is it quite handsome, just seeing it is enough to completely calm down a girl who was previously scared for her life.
  • Implacable Man: Lemmings has a reputation for being nigh-unstoppable. Bullets and bladed weapons fail to faze him. Paralytic poisons only manage to stiffen his arm a little. He can shatter bone and concrete with ease and even Polka can barely do more than slow him down.
  • Punch-Clock Villain: He's fought against Polka and his friends on occasion, but has no ill will toward them. After showing up at the fortune telling office and getting into a fight due to misunderstandings, he meekly apologizes to Takumi and offers to foot the bill for the damaged appliances.

    Fire-breathing Bug 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ch20_fbb_edit.png

A mysterious entity that sets fire in places, leaving behind a message seared into the wall.


  • Ambiguous Situation: Just what are they? Each time they show up, they seem to have a different body, with the only marking being that they have the same black umbrella or white rain slicker with "Fire Safety" written on it. Are they a shapeshifting being? A group of people working under a shared moniker? Or something else altogether? Turns out they are a pseudo-personality implanted in unrelated people through hypnosis, something that seems beyond earthly science.
  • Hive Mind: Implied. While the method they use to burn things turns out to not be supernatural, the coordinated precision required to pull it off is beyond what a group of ordinary humans should be capable of.
  • Pyromaniac: Fire-breathing Bug is, as their moniker implies, an arsonist.

    The Grocer 

Voiced by: Nobunaga Shimazaki (Japanese), Mauricio Ortiz-Segura (English)

A former Troublemaker who is now incarcerated in solitary confinement. He is a powerful information broker who many characters employ.


  • Knowledge Broker: His main business. He's so good at it that even the police are using his services and give him substantial freedom despite being incarcerated.

Shibuya

Agakura Clan

The Agakuras are a Sibling Team led by the oldest sister Majiri Agakura. They commit all sorts of unsavory deeds from murder to mercenary work.

    Majiri Agakura / Riddhe Malacougar 

Majiri Agakura

Voiced by: Chinatsu Akasaki (Japanese)

The head of the Agakura family.


  • Onee-sama: Majiri has absolute authority over her siblings and is rather possessive of them, though she cannot focus on one person for very long.
  • Our Vampires Are Different: An original vampire from the other side in fact. In addition to not needing to drink blood or avoid sunlight like Misaki, her high rank allows her to manipulate anything around her as it were her own body in a way similar to telekinesis.
  • Red Baron: Was known as the "Godhead Restorer" in the other world.

    Yumeji Agakura 

Yumeji Agakura


  • Beneath the Mask: Yumeji attempts to act like a normal high schooler, but he's never quite sure what the entails. For instance, when he encounters an injured young woman during the Corpse Hunt arc, he asks himself how a normal person would act in his situation. Although he puts up a decent front when he is interviewed during his mediator confirmation hearing, it seems he finds "acting normal" tiring; when the injured girl's transformed friend attacks them, Yumeji drops the normal act and uses violence to subdue her.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Boy howdy is it dark. His family was part of some kind of cult and he was chosen as the "Child of God". This not only made his home situation terrible, he was regularly bullied and assaulted by his classmates and people who were scammed. Even after he escaped his family and cult and Polka became his friend, the cult continued to chase after him until he was driven to join the Agakura family.
  • I Just Want to Be Normal: Desperately so. So desperate in fact that he would willingly join the Agakura family just for some semblance of belonging and normalcy.
  • Time Master: His ability according to Majiri, he can stop time and even has the Required Secondary Powers to process the information and physically withstand the time dilation he's experiencing, though it mostly shows as inhuman strength and agility in practice.

    Momoya Agakura 

Momoya Agakura

Voiced by: Taku Yashiro (Japanese)


  • Big Little Brother: Momoya, who is abnormally tall at 230cm, towers above Majiri. It is unknown whether he is older or younger than Dahlia and Kana.
  • Willfully Weak: Momoya wears a wrap around his legs to restrict his movement. He loosens it when fighting Misaki to show he's going all out.

    Dahlia Agakura 

Dahlia Agakura

Voiced by: Sara Matsumoto (Japanese)


  • Combat Stilettos: Dahlia uses her heels to puncture the skulls of the presumed werewolves during the Corpse Hunt arc.
  • Kick Chick: See above. Dahlia primarily uses her legs when fighting, like during the Agakuras' fight with Misaki.

Mediators

    Katashiro (Akihabara) 

Katashiro (Akihabara)

Katashiro is the mediator of Akihabara and a gamer.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: He's probably the nicest out of all mediators and rarely has any hidden schemes when he's friendly to people. He might also be one of the strongest and hardest to beat in a fight as proven by him easily killing all the assassins sent by Giacchino without really thinking about it.
  • Locked Out of the Loop: Out of several even. Since the other parties all have their hidden agendas and assume he has his own, none of them want to divulge any information to him which makes him largely oblivious to any of the strange happenings outside of Akihabara.
  • Otaku: As is expected as the mediator of Akihabara.
  • Weak, but Skilled: Comparatively, at least. He doesn't seem to have any supernatural abilities nor does he have Lemmings' raw physical strength but he makes it up with pure skill. His precision in throwing dice is great enough that he can use them as weapons against werewolves just by flicking them and deflecting them. The Corpse God claims that if Lemmings' is the peak of physical ability, then Katashiro is the peak of technique.

    Gioacchino Soldati (Ikebukuro) 
In addition to being Ikebukuro's mediator, Gioacchino runs a chain of Italian restaurants in Tokyo.

Bastard Children of Sabaramond.

An organization that acts in the name of Arius Sabaramond.

     Civil A. Sabaramond 

Civil A. Sabaramond

Voiced by: Ayumu Murase (Japanese)


  • Defeat Means Friendship: After Civil is defeated by Corpse God during the Shinjuku War, he and his companions join the gang at the Abandoned Building.
  • Dude Looks Like a Lady: Civil is androgynously pretty; people who see him tend to wonder if he is a woman or a man.
  • How Do I Shot Web?: Despite having all the properties of a great sorcerer like his namesake Arius Sabaramond, Civil had no idea how to actually use the vast amount of magical energy he subconsciously absorbed from Elementals. It's only after the Corpse God touches him that he starts to learn how to do magic.
  • Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Mainly in terms of looks rather than personality. He's the androgynous boy to Soara's masculine girl.
  • Raised as a Host: Although this doesn't seem to be quite explicitly a Body Backup Drive situation where Arius himself is meant to take over Civil's body, Civil *was* a vessel created for the specific purpose of inheriting Arius' memories and character, thereby becoming "the future leader who embodied [Arius' wisdom and magic]. Close enough.

    Soara Habaki 

Soara Habaki

Voiced by: Sarah Emi Bridcutt (Japanese)


  • Amazonian Beauty: Soara has exceptionally-defined abs and musculature.
  • Cool Big Sis: Soara acts affectionate toward Lulu, who she thinks is adorable.
  • Covered with Scars: Although not excessively scarred, Soara does bear many from her time as a guinea pig in the organization's experiments and presumably her various fights.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: Went from a lovechild of a police chief to not only a high ranking member of the organization her father was part of but also one of the strongest and most dangerous people in the story thanks to being fused with a magical tiger.
  • Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: The masculine girl to Civil's androgynous boy.
  • Scary Teeth: Soara's teeth are all pointed.

    Lulu 

Lulu

Voiced by: Miho Okasaki (Japanese)


  • The Cutie: Lulu is "the cute one" of the Bastard Trio, at least in Soara's opinion.
  • Kid with the Leash: Eventually develops into this once she starts to get over her Power Incontinence. It still takes her a lot of effort to just keep her Elemental from attacking Majiri.
  • Unstable Powered Child: Lulu is guarded by an Elemental that wreaks havoc when Lulu is endangered. Often this results in deaths and major damage to Lulu's immediate surroundings. Since Lulu struggles to reign the Elemental in, she is timid, nervous, and frequently upset by the destruction she / the Elemental causes.

    Kuon Higuro 

Voiced by: Yoshimasa Hosoya (Japanese)


  • Affably Evil: Higuro acts like a friendly and approachable everyman but his capacity to do atrocities while wearing a pleasant smile is astounding.
  • They Look Just Like Everyone Else!: One of the most blandly normal-looking characters in the series.
