Characters / Eiyuu Senki: The World Conquest

A character sheet for the characters in Eiyuu Senki: The World Conquest broken down by region. Beware of unmarked spoilers!

---

Zipang

An island nation where the Main Character first appears. Originally ruled by Yamato Takeru before a strange occurrence caused her to disappear and she later re-emerges suffering from amnesia. The nation subsequently splits into 3 city-states due to the absence of its leader, leaving them fighting over each other for control.

---

• Istanbul (Not Constantinople): Called Zipang instead of Japan, possibly a reference to the manga of the same name, or done as an obfuscation to avoid an unfortunate allegory with the real-life Japan. (They are the nation which technically conquers the world in this game, after all)

• Sengoku Jidai: At the start of the game. The player must unify Zipang first before embarking on the journey of world conquest.

Chihaya

"All thanks to everyone's efforts."

His Eiyuu Senki GOLD outfit

Voiced by: Nobuhisa Nakamoto

• Accidental Pervert: Once the hot springs are discovered, Tadataka gives him a map of "The Commander's Special Passage". It of course leads to the women's bath.
• Affectionate Nickname: Many. Himiko jump-starts the trend by calling him "Big Brother" (onii-sama), which Geronimo quickly takes a cue from and begins to call him "Big Bro" (onii-chan), much to the former's chagrin. Later on, Lancelot starts to call him "Master" (shishou), Benkei and Tadataka calls him "Commander", and Bedivere simply refers to him as "Prince".
• Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Does so to Nobunaga when doing a favor to Goemon to get her some rare wood.
• Amnesiac Hero: He recalls his name and that he comes from the real world, but nothing about his actual past. Subverted. Being an embodiment of the collective thoughts and light of the heroes and their desire to protect the world, he never had a memory of his own and his summoning was also his birth. Hence it is likely the memories of what he taken is pretty came from someone in the Modern Times itself.
• Angst? What Angst?: He takes getting thrown into an alternate world without any modern conveniences quite well.
• Audience Surrogate: Courtesy of being a stranger in a strange world.
• Badass Longcoat: In GOLD he trades his armor for an impressive black and red long coat.
• Because You Were Nice to Me: The primary reason he's a Chick Magnet.
• Big "SHUT UP!": Delivers one to Mu when she tries to make him doubt his trust in Arthur.
• But Now I Must Go: Leaves on a journey to continue watching over and protecting the world in the true ending while seeking to find himself after learning his true identity.
• The Casanova: Many of the recruited heroes end up falling for him and he's able to return their feelings. Given his true identity as a physical embodiment of nature's desire to protect all of the heroes, this is inevitable.
• The Chosen One: Kusanagi accepts him as its new owner.
• Chick Magnet: Even if a hero who joins his army doesn't fall in love with him, he still earns her trust.
• Clap Your Hands If You Believe: How he was able to take a physical form through Himiko's strong feelings to protect the world.
• Covert Pervert: After finding out that the map given to him leads to a spot where he can peep on the women's hot springs, he keeps it.
• Deadpan Snarker: He has several moments of this when witnessing members of his army being silly.
• Declaration of Protection: Chihaya swearing the same oath to Himiko that Takeru did is what allows him to wield Kusanagi.
• Embarrassing Nickname: Gets saddled with "King of Lust" as his reputation grows.
• Everything's Better with Samurai: Wears traditional samurai armor.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: When Chihaya's eyes turn gold, it means he's about to kick some serious ass.
• He's Back!: In The Stinger.
• The Hero: And the only playable male character.
• Heroes Prefer Swords: His weapon of choice, as that is what Takeru trains him in to prepare him to inherit Kusanagi.
• Humble Hero: Chihaya gets embarrassed over praise and admiration, and keeps insisting that he's not really all that great, it's only because of everyone else that he's able to be an able leader for Zipang. His humility earns him even more admiration, as it's taken as a sign of maturity.
• Kirk Summation: When telling Mu why she lost after her defeat.
• Lightning Bruiser: Has high attack and speed, plus above-average defense.
• Love Dodecahedron: At least half of the heroes fall for him to some degree and compete for his affection. He's mostly torn between Himiko and Arthur himself.
• Macguffin Delivery Service: All of the fighting he does to conquer the world also generates all of the chaotic energy needed for Mu to revive the Mu continent.
• Mega Manning: As a combination of his true identity and the Kusanagi, he is able to wield the powers and abilities of the souls stored within the Kusanagi. However for gameplay purposes he can just simply summon them right in the battlefield.
• My Name Is ???: He starts off this way until he can recall his (default) name. Or the player can make it instead.
• Nice Guy: Chihaya is a very humble man for someone placed in his position.
• "Not So Different" Remark: Played for Laughs when the party has to fight Zeus and all of the women join the fight against him because of what a womanizer he was. Chihaya can only Face Palm when he realizes they're calling Zeus the "King of Lust" too.
• Officer and a Gentleman: As the leader of Zipang and the commander of its armies, he is frequently referred to as a "gentleman" by several characters, especially after he's done something nice for them. (Allowing the directionless Percival, who is an enemy of him at the time, to return to her camp instead of holding her hostage; Offering to dig up the ore for Goemon, etc.)
• Rags to Royalty: Starts off as an amnesiac wanderer and quickly becomes King of Zipang once he leads the unification and is accepted by Kusanagi.

Himiko

"World Conquest begins!"

Voiced by: Airi Ishihara

• A-Cup Angst: She's jealous of Yoshitsune for having a bust that isn't too large or too small, especially compared to hers.
• Adult Child: Her ideas of interrogation are tickle torture and forcing the prisoners to watch people eat their favorite foods in front of them.
• Always Someone Better: How she feels about many of her love rivals, especially Kenshin.
• Ambiguously Bi: In the prologue, she imagines what kind of torture Nobunaga has planned for her. Although it's really more like she 'fantasizes' about it as her idea of Nobunaga's torture is actually pretty kinky, and she almost seems disappointed when Nobunaga says that she wasn't going to torture her.
• Apologetic Attacker: Himiko will apologize to her target when she uses an offensive skill.
• Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: Between herself, Nobunaga, and Yoshitsune as the governors of Zipang before unification.
• Betty and Veronica: The Betty to Arthur's Veronica.
• Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Her people love her, but she's not a very good military commander at all and is even worse when it comes to handling official affairs. Yamatai was well on the way to complete bankruptcy had she not succeeded in unifying Zipang when she did.
• Clingy Jealous Girl: She does not want any other girl (especially Arthur) getting close to Chihaya.
• Cute Clumsy Girl: Himiko has the tendency to easily trip. In a scene very reminiscent to Colette, she knocks a mountain of items on her and emerges with the one thing everyone was looking for.
• First Girl Wins: Kinda. Chihaya has relationships (of what kind depends on what version of the game) with many, many other women but Himiko is the first girl he hooks up with and seems to be his main love interest. Notably when he returns from his Walking the Earth it's her he comes to first and he never objects to her calling herself his wife.
• Genki Girl: Nobunaga constantly comments on her being full of energy.
• He Is Not My Boyfriend: Inverted. She fully insists that she is Chihaya's wife.
• Hidden Depths: In an early event, you learn that given Himiko's popularity among her people, it's very easy for her to perform inspections and take notice of problems in the city just by recording what she's heard.
• I Meant to Do That: When she bites her tongue challenging Hammurabi to a good wife contest.
• Important Hair Accessory: Her signature hair decorations shaped like a magatama that she's always wearing.
• I Will Wait for You: In the True Ending.
• Miko: Himiko's outfit resembles a traditional miko robe.
• Please Wake Up: Spoken word-for-word to Takeru when she dies on the Mu continent.
• The Rival: To Geronimo over who can be the better little sister for Chihaya.
• Squishy Wizard: Her primary offense is magic missiles and she can't take more than 1-2 hits due to being weak against every type of physical attack. Then again she is more of a White Mage
• Take Over the World: Her main motivation. Subverted as she's doing it as a way to Save the World.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: With Nobunaga.
• We Used to Be Friends: All of Himiko, Yoshitsune, and Nobunaga before the civil war to unify Zipang. Once Himiko unites them, they return to being friends.
• White Mage: She's the only healer for a good portion of the game). However her Hero Skill and Aura makes her one of the best supports.

Oda Nobunaga

"I am the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven!"

Voiced by: Akane Tomonaga

• Evil Me Scares Me: She takes enormous offense when Chihaya asks if she's done some of the things the real world Oda Nobunaga has done, albeit not for reasons one may expect. For example, when asked if she would ever drink sake out of a golden skull, she says the idea is repulsive because it would ruin the taste of the booze.
• Badass Longcoat: Really the only practical part of her outfit.
• Beat Them at Their Own Game: When Marco Polo tries to sell her fake rare items to gather information, she not only sees through the ruse, but also drags Marco along to show the latter her own collection.

• Driven to Suicide: Played for Laughs when she puts a gun to herself after finding out Chihaya received her Amasson order by mistake. See Noodle Implement.
• Fiery Redhead: She has intense red hair and when upset she can get pretty fiery.
• Flat-Earth Atheist: Unintentionally on Nobunaga's part. In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it line right after Himiko conquers Edo, Nobunaga says, "I don't believe in the existence of god, but I'm interested to see just what kind of man the Servant of Heaven really is." That's the "atheist" part. The "flat-earth" part of the trope comes in when as it turns out in the True Ending path, there is a god, she just happens to be an evil god.
• Glass Cannon: Very high attack, but would be lucky to take more than 1-2 hits before going down.
• Hidden Depths: In addition to being a very competent military commander and good with budgeting and accounting, Nobunaga is also a mail-order catalog enthusiast, and in one character event she teaches Qin Shi Huang the joys of mail-order catalogs.
• I Never Said It Was Poison: How she reveals that she did indeed order her Noodle Implement from Amasson.
• Noodle Implement: Whatever it is she ordered from Amasson that got delivered to Chihaya by mistake during her character quests. She nearly killed herself over someone finding out about it.^note It turns out to just be a massager.
• Porn Stash: She gets caught ordering from the "adult" section of the Amasson catalog.

• Stripperiffic: She's not wearing pants!
• Tsundere: How she acts towards Chihaya as her character arc progresses.

• Make a Wish: In Benkei's character events, she's attempting to collect 1,000 weapons because she decided that her wish will come true if she manages to collect that many. It's not a real wish, of course, and Benkei knows this, but it's something she decided to give herself confidence.

• Katanas Are Just Better: Her weapon of choice.
• Neutral No Longer: While discussing the necessity of gathering intelligence for future wars, Yoshitsune mentions that originally, she had no interest in Zipang's hegemony disputes, meaning she didn't originally care whether Himiko or Nobunaga would unify Zipang. But Himiko's declaration of war changed Yoshitsune's mind, since it would allow Yoshitsune to see what Himiko had learned.

Abe no Seimei

"Darlin', come and drink with me?"

• Japanese Dialects: She speaks with a noticeable Kansai accent. This is also reflected in the English localization as well.

• The Medic: She's capable of creating very specialized medicine for sick party members.
• The Slacker: Seimei owns a shop, but will only open for business when she feels like it, and even then she tends to let her shikigami take over the counter instead so she can stay at home to drink sake all day.

• This Is Unforgivable!: She's not very happy about Musashi skipping their fated duel. She's also not very happy when reports of Musashi nearby interrupt Kojiro kissing Chihaya in her final character event.

• If It's You, It's Okay: When a medicinal ointment has to be applied to her body, she says this to Chinaya after her friends suggest he be the one to do it.

• Overdrawn at the Blood Bank: Played for laughs. After having conquered Changan, Chihaya and Himiko enter its palace for an audience with Qin Shi Huang, only to find that the distressed empress has coughed up so much blood that it covers the entire floor.
• "Shaggy Dog" Story: In her character events, Qin Shi Huang goes to a great deal of trouble looking for a great ascetic, who can supposedly make a medicine that can cure her for good. Eventually, she and Chihaya do discover the ascetic or rather, the student furthest along in the ascetic training.

However, when a worried Chihaya comes to check on her, he finds out that she's actually using the valuable experience learned from the battle to compose a strategy guide which would be accessible to masters and novices alike.
• Irony: When Lu Bu leaves before she's done talking, she claims that Qin Shi Huang is in trouble in order to bring her back. She later falls for a rumor started by the Zipang army that Shi is on her deathbed, causing her to abandon her post and return to the palace. She even Lampshades the fact that she's fallen for her own trick.
• Just in Time: Albeit by accident, she destroys Qin Shi Huang's "medicine" bottle right before she was going to take an extra large dose, contributing to indirectly saving her life with the help of the Zipang army.

• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The blue to Lu Bu's red.
• Sensei-chan: Refers to herself as "Sun Tzu Sensei" in the Japanese script, and will often act like the teacher to everyone. However, this does her absolutely no favor with handling Lu Bu.

• I Choose to Stay: She decided to stay in Mongolia rather than return home to the EU after being dispatched there as a spy.

India

Sanzou Houshi

"Evil must be vanquished!"

Voiced by: Tomoe Tamiyasu

• Big Damn Hero: Her first appearance has her arriving to help Chihaya fight off some thieves.
• Break Them by Talking: Her speech to the thieves is so long-winded that many run away while another breaks down into I Want My Mommy!.
• Compelling Voice: Kind of. She's able to use her long-winded Rousing Speech to work the people of India into a hypnotized trance and rise up against the oppressive Maharaja. The effect is so potent that even Himiko got momentarily influenced by it.
  Sanzang: "Ahh...Everyone, what a look of refreshment I see on your faces. The future of this country has already been secured..."
  Chihaya: "Actually, their bloodshot eyes are kind of scaring me...It was like that with me too, but maybe Sanzou's got some sort of brainwashing ability...
• Determinator: The collection of scriptures she was tasked to collect pretty much fill up an entire room. She's determined to translate all of them because she's the only one who can. Her attitude towards that task cements Chihaya's respect for her.
• Establishing Character Moment: Scaring away the thieves by explaining how money on its own is theoretically worthless without something to trade it for.
• Hidden Depths: Despite being a tad too preachy and tends to do things at her own pace, Sanzang is a determined devout and very good at what she does.
• Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Only in her attack animation as Goku grows to about 4x her size to deliver a blow. Otherwise it's reversed.
• Mighty Glacier: She can hit like a truck and take several hits herself, but her speed is horrendous.
• Mistaken Identity: She mistakes Chihaya for Cho Hakkai and maintains that belief through the entire game.
• Motor Mouth: Her speeches last for so long that the text just trails off. Despite that, she is very good at rallying the people to battle.
• Non-Human Sidekick: She's always accompanied by her monkey companion Goku.
• Selective Obliviousness: Tends to willfully ignore other people's objections and believe in what she chooses to believe, mostly to work things to her benefit.
• Sizeshifter: Not her but Goku, who when attacking changes from a tiny monkey to a huge humanoid primate.

Queen Ashoka

Voiced by: Shiho Tachibana

• Beware the Nice Ones: She's very courteous and civil, but once she learns about her trust being betrayed...
• Berserk Button: Do not call her an old hag.
• Full-Frontal Assault: She has no problem kicking ass while baring it all, nor does it reduce her ability to inflict terror on those who betrays her trust. Just ask the Maharajah...
• Heel–Face Turn: In-Universe, it's revealed she used to be a notorious bandit before adopting the dharma law and unifying India.
• Noodle Incident: Exactly what she did to punish the Maharajah after she learns they'd betrayed her trust is left unsaid.
• Poor Communication Kills: Had she traveled to the cities outside of the capital she would have found each of the Maharajah lying about everything they were telling her about conditions elsewhere.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: Herself, yes. The Maharajah? Not at all.
• Stripperiffic: So much so that Chihaya gets incredibly flustered at their first meeting.
  • Innocent Fanservice Girl: She doesn't seem to understand the concept of nudity either, and considers it normal to parade in public pretty much stark naked with just some silk cloth (which don't cover anything) clinging on her.
  Ashoka: (bewildered at Chihaya's flustering) But this is my regular formal wear...
• The Teetotaler: During one of Seimei's character events, Ashoka reveals (after asking Chihaya and Seimei not to tell anyone) that she has chosen to abstain from alcohol, because she worries that it could make her lose control over herself and end up doing things she doesn't remember doing afterwards.
• Tranquil Fury: After her Berserk Button is pressed.
  Ashoka: Excuse me for a moment. This young lady and I need to step aside for a talk.

The EU

A federation made of several nations that were united under Napoleon after a long war. Despite baring the geographical disadvantage of being surrounded by several other powerful nations such as Russia, Britannia and Macedonia, the EU manages to became the second strongest nation in world, and has began to expand with its colonization of the South Seas (South East Asia). In addition, they've also controlled Australia and used it as a penal colony, but later lost it due to the Illuminati's activities in the region.

The South Seas

Ferdinand Magellan

"Play ball!"

Voiced by: Akane Sanada

• Made of Iron: Described by Cook as a "Steel Fetish". Getting shot by a gun? She'll spring right back up with barely a scratch.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red to Cook's blue.
• School Swimsuit: She wears a white one under her military uniform...
  • Walking Swimsuit Scene: ...And never changes into anything else. Kind of makes sense when she's out on naval duty. Not while she's off-duty and playing baseball of all things, instead of any kind of water activities.
• Serious Business: Baseball. Especially once she starts using it as a means to conveying her feelings.
• Super Not-Drowning Skills: She sinks to the bottom of the ocean while wearing a heavy training harness and resurfaces completely fine almost immediately.

• Will Not Tell a Lie: When Cook and Magellan temporarily ally with Zipang, Cook tries to smooth it over with Napoleon in more positive turns, causing Napoleon to praise Cook. However, Magellan insists that it's wrong to tell lies, and she tells Napoleon the whole truth, causing Napoleon to fire both her and Cook. This eventually turns out for the best.

• I Reject Your Reality: She overcomes her fear of ghosts by concluding they don't actually exist and remains adamant about that.

• The Stoic: Perhaps the most collected person in the whole game.

Hannibal actually takes steps in trying to avert this, as she advises Napoleon before her battle with Zipang to have a backup plan ready should she gets captured. Unfortunately, her effort is ultimately rendered moot as Napoleon is greatly distressed by the news of her capture, which disrupts her ability to think strategically and end up causing the EU to lose the war.

• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Her nice girl act drops almost immediately.

• Dirty Coward: Tries to poison Chihaya at their first meeting and tends to run away at the first sign of danger. Napoleon constantly punishes her for this by locking her away in the Catacombs and out of the spotlight.

• Greed: Surfaces when the party finds high-quality jade stones in a river. She tries to take so many that she gets weighed down and swept away by the current.

Of course, in the grand tradition of Tsundere, she refuses to speak her heart out-loud, instead telling Chihaya to just accept it and forbids him from objecting.
• Valley Girl: The way her speech is translated.

Leonardo Da Vinci

"Leave it to the genius!"

  • Musical Assassin: Most of her moves involves playing a string of notes on her piano to either buff up allies or debilitates the enemy.
• Lady Looks Like a Dude: She looks like a feminine man.

• Odd Friendship: With Nero, since she's the only one who tolerates her and enjoys her company.
• Proper Tights with a Skirt: Purple tights.
• The Quiet One: Described as such by Nero. She tends to never speak more than a few words at a time.

• Walking Swimsuit Scene: Just like Magellan, Atlas wears a white School Swimsuit that she never changes out of, which makes even less sense given she's encased by her Powered Armor at all times.

• Familiar: Mephistopheles is her familiar and helps her during fights.
• I Just Want to Be Special: Her character events reveal she took up black magic to learn how to attract guys and overcome her own crybaby tendencies.
• Mad Scientist: More like a Mad Alchemist/Sorceress. She likes to conduct experiments on things with the help of her alchemy equipments while the demon Mephistopheles acts as her assistant.

Chihaya has to asks her to refrain from causing explosions before accepting her into Zipang.

• Nightmare Fetishist: She's willing to ingest poison and be shot by both rifles and cannons just to experience the pain they bring.

• Squishy Wizard: She's a magical unit and rather loves the squishiness it gives her.

• Circular Reasoning: She and Chihaya get caught in a seemingly infinite loop of this in her final character event: She wants him to forget the fact that he saw her naked, but he says he'll never be able to forget how beautiful she looked, causing her to want him to remember that part but to not imagine her naked any more, which prompts him to say that trying to forget that will only make it easier to imagine again. This goes on for several minutes.
• Defrosting Ice Queen: Over the course of her character events.
• Elemental Hair Colors: An ice magic user with pale blue hair.
• Foil: Level-headed and cool to the fiery, hot-tempered Balin.
• Knightly Sword and Shield: She's noticeably the only Knight of the Round Table who carries a shield alongside her ice sword.
• Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Her shield is nearly as big as she is.
• Mundane Utility: Using her sword to stay cool in hot areas. It becomes essential for surviving a cave full of fire in one event.
• Not So Stoic: Appears cool and collected at first, but this persona quickly crumbles as her bond with Chihaya deepens.
• Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: "YOU. ARE. TOO. CLOSE."

Sir Gawain

"Perverts need to be sanitized!"

Voiced by: Minami Hokuto

• Berserk Button: Perverts. She single-handedly conducts a raid on a gang of underwear thieves.
• Blade Below the Shoulder: Wields her sword Gallatine in this manner.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: By the Illuminati at the same time as Galahad.
• Deliberately Cute Child: Happens in one of her character events. Due to her curse acting up, she is stuck in her child form for the day and unable to attend an important event which she's supposed to host. However, with the help of Chihaya, she's able to use it to her advantage by pretending to be his daughter, which ultimately makes the event even more of a success than she'd expected.
• Impossibly-Low Neckline: Her dress is low enough to fully display her cleavage, making you wonder how is it kept in place.
• Intimate Healing: Revealed in her final event to be the only way to lift her curse.
• Luminescent Blush: Her little girl form's portrait is constantly red-faced.
• Minidress of Power: One-piece and strapless, so it's a wonder how it manages to stay on her.
• Only Sane Woman: How she feels when she's around Arthur and Lancelot.
• She Is All Grown Up: Inverted. At night she takes on the form of a cute little girl.

Sir Lancelot

"Master~~ I'm hungry~~~"

Voiced by: Naomi Wakabayashi

• All of the Other Reindeer: She's not present in the CG that introduces Arthur and the remaining Knights of the Round.
• Big Eater: She is always hungry, averaging about five meals before lunch. She even has "Onigiri! (Rice Balls)" as one of her battle cries.
• Blush Stickers: In her CG images.
• Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Despite her appetite, Lancelot is a very skilled swordswoman and can work hard when she needs to, as shown in one of her character events.
• Costume Evolution: In GOLD she adds the gauntlets the other knights wear over her uniform.
• Cut a Slice, Take the Rest: She attempts this with a cask of grape juice being prepared for wine when told she can have "one more drink".
• Everyone Has Standards: Played for laughs. Lancelot loves to eat and will take on anything — except her own country's food, which is regarded so badly by her that she forbids Chihaya from mentioning Britannian cuisine while she's eating.
• Extreme Omnivore: She'll eat, or at least taste, almost anything. It's because of this that she recognizes Qin Shi Huang's "medicine" is actually liquid mercury, because she has tried consuming some in the past herself!
• Foreign Queasine: Inverted. The only thing she doesn't like is Britannian food.
• I Call It "Vera": Her sword, which is named Aroundight.
• I Choose to Stay: When ordered to return to Britannia, she opts to stay in Zipang.
• Is It Something You Eat?: What she tends to ask if she's the one to comment when receiving a new item.
• Japanese School Uniform: Her outfit resembles something that would easily be seen at a private school.
• The Mole: Gawain outright tells her that she's to spy on Zipang while acting as ambassador, despite the latter not taking that part of her role seriously in the slightest.
• The Nose Knows: How she was able to find buried pirate treasure: They had buried food along with the precious materials and she could smell it.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: During one of her character events, she consciously refuses a snack before her training exercise, which prompts Chihaya to take her temperature in concern. Turns out this is because Lancelot was worried that Chihaya would kick her out of Zipang if she was too weak as a swordswoman, and she really wants to stay with Chihaya and eat delicious food together with him.
• To Be Lawful or Good: She's the only Knight of the Round who doesn't struggle with this dilemma for more than a split second due to knowing that Arthur isn't acting like herself, leading to her I Choose to Stay declaration.
• Voice for the Voiceless: Lancelot quickly learns to basically read Uesugi Kenshin's thoughts and speak for her after they become friends.
• Worthless Yellow Rocks: When she finds the pirate treasure, she takes the guavas they'd buried and leaves the gems and gold behind.

Sir Mordred

"I, Mordred, shall uphold the public morality!"

• Fiery Redhead: The short-tempered variety.
• Foil: Plays the Straight Man to her quirky subordinates, which usually ends with her getting frustrated and steamed up.
• Forehead of Doom: The main reason why she's a Butt-Monkey. Benkei even says she's jealous of how shiny it is.
• Lawful Neutral: Rather straight-laced and moral-centered, which is unfortunate as many of her fellow knights and Zipang allies tend to have quirky personalities, grieving her to no end.
• Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Carries a large shield in conjunction with her spear.
• Luminescent Blush: Not visibly depicted, but she's often the butt of jokes claiming her forehead is what goes red when she's embarrassed.
• My Country, Right or Wrong: She chooses to fight for Britannia even when Arthur doesn't seem to be herself. Later develops out of it after being convinced by Bors that there's a difference between fighting for Britannia and blindly following the Queen's orders.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red to Bors' blue.
• To Be Lawful or Good: Her dilemma when trying to break out of her My Country, Right or Wrong way of thinking.
• Tsundere: Type A. She even utters the classic, "I-it's not like I joined because I wanted to!" phrase when she's recruited.

Sir Bors

"Let's go for tea after this!"

Voiced by: Mami Ozaki

• Girly Girl: The most feminine of the Knights. She tends to concern herself with things like what color of makeup to wear and getting split ends in her hair.
• Master Actor: In contrast to Kay's Bad "Bad Acting", Bors is at least good enough to convince Balin to wear pretty and girly clothes for a date with Chihaya.
• The Nicknamer: She has nicknames for her fellow Knights.
• Only Sane Woman: She's the most level-headed of her group and is the one who convinces them to join Zipang and find out why Arthur has gone off the deep end.
• Red Baron: "The Lady Knight."
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The blue to Mordred's red.
• Right Behind Me: She jokes about Mordred's shiny forehead, while the latter is standing right behind her.

Sir Percival

"Um...I'm in the right place, right?"

Voiced by: Atsumi Tanezaki

• Affectionate Nickname: Called Percy by Bors and her customers.
• Animal Motifs: The rabbit. Not only is she dressed as a bunny girl, her eyes are dark pink like a real rabbit.
• Boobs-and-Butt Pose: Her default pose in her sprite and even in her illustration working at a restaurant.
• Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Almost literally. Percival may wear bunny ears and seems like an clueless young girl, but she's actually very capable in battle.
• Can't Hold Her Liquor: She's plastered long before Chihaya is even feeling tipsy in her final event. And she is adorable when she gets drunk.
• Deadly Disc: Her primary attack and her hero skill all involve the throwing disks on her gauntlets.
• Friendly Enemy: She and Zipang allow each other to fully prepare for battle when fighting her in San Francisco even after she had to ask them for directions on where her own camp was.
• The Ingenue: This coupled with her terrible sense of direction, can often cause boundless amount of trouble for her allies.
• Just a Kid: In one of her character events, a drunken Percival pressures Chihaya to stop treating her like a child and start seeing her as a proper lady. After receiving a kiss from Chihaya as a proof, she becomes overjoyed and drunkenly confesses to him.
• Ms. Fanservice: In-Universe. It's one of the reasons why she becomes the poster girl for the bar she works at part-time in San Francisco and drums up a lot of business on nights she's working there.
• No Sense of Direction: Something she admits to herself. She'll even ask whether she's in the right place in the middle of battle, and will often need to be lead by the hand on the way out.
• Playboy Bunny: Her normal outfit!
• Precision-Guided Boomerang: The bladed disc variety for her projectile attack.
• Red Baron: "The Rabbit Knight."

Sir Bedivere

"Awww...It's the prince!"

Voiced by: Haruna Iwasaki

• Affectionate Nickname: Bedi. She uses it to refer to herself a lot more than actually being addressed by other people with it.
• Does Not Know His Own Strength: Bedivere sometimes forgets how strong her gauntlet is, and she nearly kills Chihaya during her character event while giving him a massage.
• Girlish Pigtails: She has her hair tied with bows, and she's pretty girly and something of a romantic.
• Good Old Fisticuffs: Augmented by a special glove she wears.
• Hidden Depths: In addition to being a strong knight, Bedivere is also skilled at sewing, even being praised by her home economics teacher in one character event. She gives Chihaya a handkerchief she sewed.
• Indulgent Fantasy Segue: Played with, as we don't see the fantasies on-screen, but Bedivere has a habit of fantasizing out loud about what a relationship with Chihaya would be like, and while she's fantasizing she tends to swing around her gigantic gloved fist while calling herself naughty.
• I Was Just Joking: Attempts to use this as a cover when she blurts out what she's actually feeling.
• The Lady's Favor: Bedivere gives Chihaya a handkerchief.
• Oh, Crap!: When she realizes she nearly threw Excalibur away.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: One of the smaller Knights of the Round and, with her power glove, she can easily punch holes in rocks.
• Prince Charming: Upon meeting Chihaya, Bedivere immediately begin to fantasize about Chihaya offering her a rose while riding a white horse, and insists on addressing him as "the prince" thereafter.
• Power Fist: Her weapon is a huge mechanical gauntlet on her left arm.
• Red Baron: "The Rocket Punch Knight".
• Single-Target Sexuality: To Chihaya.
• Swiss-Army Weapon: Her rocket glove has a vibration function, cooking implements, and she outright compares it to a Swiss Army knife.

Sir Balin

"Come at me if you want to die!"

Voiced by: Hiromi Hirata

• And I Must Scream: She knew full well that she was being controlled.
• The Atoner: She joins the party to make amends for the trouble she caused while being controlled by the Illuminati.
• Bad Liar: She scratches her cheek when embarrassed and fiddles with her bangs when she's lying.
• The Berserker: Her main tactic (or the lack thereof) screams this, and she even learns the "Berserk" buff skill later on.
• Blood Knight: Seeks the thrill of battles and won't hesitate to cut someone down while under Illuminati's control. She's a lot less bloodthirsty once having regained herself.
• Boisterous Bruiser: She's loud and tough in battle.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: By the Illuminati.
• Cool Big Sis: Many of the other knights see her as this.
• Curtains Match the Window: She has intense red hair and her eyes are the same color.

• Laughing Mad: As part of her Villainous Breakdown, and even a couple of moments after she's returned to normal (though for different reasons).
• Long Hair Is Feminine: Inverted. Balin is rough and rowdy, being pretty much the exact opposite of Bors and hardly someone you can call feminine.
• Marshmallow Hell: Treats Chihaya to some in her character event CG.
• One-Woman Army: In her first appearance, she almost manages to single-handedly capture Taika Empire's capital.
• Recurring Boss: She's battled three separate times before being finally defeated and freed from her brainwashing.

• Slasher Smile: In her portrait even after she's returned to normal.

• The Worf Effect: She demonstrates her strength in her first encounter by taking down Lu Bu with complete ease.

Sir Tristan

"Ahhh... How unfortunate..."

Voiced by: Chiharu Seto

• Badass Cape: A pure white cape, and she's quite capable in battle despite her unlucky and narcissistic tendencies.
• Born Unlucky: One of the reasons why she's The Chew Toy. Even when she wins tickets to a free dinner at a luxurious restaurant, she ends up getting food poisoning.
• The Chew Toy: She draws a lot of bad luck and her subordinates treat her like garbage.
• Dude, Where's My Respect?: She's the leader of her squad just like Mordred, but receives no respect from her squad members and constantly gets abused by them.

• Establishing Character Moment: Slipping on a banana peel, getting covered in mud, and getting knocked into a fountain, all in about 30 seconds.
• Impossibly-Low Neckline: Her corset is low enough her breasts are almost popping out.
• Perpetual Frowner: She's constantly wearing a gloomy expression.
• Piggyback Cute: The CG in her second character event. Also happens in her final event, albeit with no CG this time around.
• Stripperiffic: She's only wearing a pair of underpants on the bottom.
• To Be Lawful or Good: She's the most vocal about Arthur's questionable orders out of her group.

Sir Palamedes

"Here...have some poison..."

Voiced by: Aya Kitamura

• Beware the Quiet Ones: She's an expert on poisons.
• Be Yourself: Despite constantly being asked to adhere to the code of honor like a knight should, Palademes' final character event proves that there are merits in her somewhat underhanded way, as she manages to defeat the powerful "Howling Beast" - a green dragon with her poisons and traps.
• Combat Pragmatist: Will liberally unleash anesthetic and poison onto her enemies to give herself an edge.
• Cool Big Sis: Self-proclaimed to be this to Chihaya.
• Funny Foreigner: Considered by Tristan as such, who disapproves of her unorthodox methods, leading to constant tension between the two of them.
• Magic Knight: She's a magic-based unit who channels her spells through her sword.

• The Quiet One: Says very little, usually no more than one or two words at a time.
• Significant White Hair, Dark Skin: She has sandy blonde hair and dark skin, representing her very different approach to knighthood.
• Squishy Wizard: Suffers from the same weakness to all physical skills that magic-based units do.
• Stripperiffic: She's wearing an open shirt and a sarong.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Bananas.
• Wardrobe Malfunction: She even calls it that herself when one happens to her after fighting a dragon.

• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Averted. See Skewed Priorities.
• Hypercompetent Sidekick: She single-handedly cleans Bran Castle after Vlad hires her.
• Meido: Wears a maid uniform in conjunction with her knight gauntlets. This was also her profession before being knighted.
• Skewed Priorities: She's more concerned about the cleanliness of the rooms she takes care of vs. the health of her comrades if they get dirty.
• Supreme Chef: Kay's goal in her character events is to eventually cook food good enough for Lancelot to eat, as Lancelot does not normally like Britannian food. Kay finally succeeds by making food with golden eggs Chihaya helped her retrieve.
• Yandere: Don't be fooled by her outward politeness, she's an absolute sadist to those who gets on her bad side, and Tristan.

Sir Ywain

"What the hell! This is fucking bullshit!"

Voiced by: Risa Asaki

• Establishing Character Moment: Knocking Tristan into a fountain and blaming it on her.
• Gratuitous English: In her Japanese voice acting, she'll occasionally shout an expletive in English.
• Just a Kid: Her pride as a knight causes her to hate being treated like a kid.
• King of Beasts: She rides into battle on a white lion named Laudine.
• Never My Fault: She doesn't accept responsibility for her mistakes. Kay tending to spoil her prevents her from learning her lessons too.
• "Shaggy Dog" Story: In her character events, Ywain attempts to defeat a black knight causing trouble for a nearby village, and she wants to do it without the help of the other knights so she can prove to them that she's not just a kid. She does beat the black knight, but before she can take home the helmet as proof of her victory, the helmet and the rest of the armor disappears, as the black knight was a ghost. This leaves Ywain without any evidence to prove her accomplishment, but Chihaya is able to convince her that since he saw her defeat the black knight, that's good enough for him to consider her a model knight. This cheers Ywain up.
• Sir Swearsalot: A literal example. She drops a Precision F-Strike with her first appearance, and it only carries on from there.
• Sound-Effect Bleep: Averted. All of her voiced lines that contain expletives are completely uncensored.
• Token Mini-Moe: Of the Knights.
• The Unpronounceable: "Yuu-wayne."
• Wolverine Claws: Averted. Despite riding on a lion she's a Projectile unit and utilizes a Precision-Guided Boomerang.

The Illuminati

Achilles

"I am Achilles! I dare you to try and keep up with me!"

Voiced by: Yoriko Nagata

• Cleavage Window: Has a heart-shaped one.
• Fragile Speedster: Fastest character in the game with 12 speed, can often go twice in a row, but has miserable defense and deals subpar damage. Equipping her with offense-enhancing items like Futsunomitama will turn her into a Glass Cannon.
• Girlish Pigtails: She has twin tails almost as long as Napoleon's.
• Good Old Fisticuffs: She's a melee fighter.
• Groin Attack: Threatens Chihaya with one directly should he look at her naked.
• Humiliating Wager: After winning a bet with Chihaya that she could deliver a heavy shield halfway across the world and be back before nightfall, she turns him into her personal servant for a day: giving a massage, carrying goods, cooking meals, washing her back in the bath, etc., and milks it for everything she can.
• Leotard of Power: With a frilly skirt to go with it.
• Optional Party Member: Recruited from Elysium on the True End path.
• Red Baron: "Achilles the Swift."
• Super-Speed: Moves amazingly fast, to the point that she's able to make it halfway across the world and back within a day.

Cu Chulainn

"Hey mister, would you like to play with me?"

Voiced by: Hatsumi Takada

• A-Cup Angst: Subverted. When Nobunaga calls her chest tiny, she brushes it off by listing the other measures of a woman.
• Collared by Fashion: To go with her dog motif she wears a collar as well.
• Critical Hit Class: Has balanced stats and a high critical chance, which makes her an ideal assassin against the sturdier foes.
• The Nose Knows: "I can pick out a smell from miles away."
• Optional Party Member: Recruited from Tir na Nog on the True End path.
• Proud Beauty: She's rather full of herself due to her looks.
• The Rival: To Nobunaga when it comes to competing for Chihaya's attention in her character events.
• Stripperiffic: A small bikini top, and a fur skirt.
• The Tease: Seizes every opportunity to tease Chihaya, much to Nobunaga's annoyance.

• Voluntary Shapeshifting: She can transform into a large, shadowy wolf-like creature. This can temporarily be reverted if Cu Chulainn is shot with a "fragrance bullet" with a smell she hates, as shown when the heroes shoot her with a citrus bullet, but once she's accidentally shot with a smell she likes (cooked meat), she changes back into a wolf-like creature.

Siegfried

"This is for my forest friends."

Voiced by: Hiromi Hirata

• Blade Below the Shoulder: Her sword Balmung is wielded this way.

• Flash Step: Performs one when fighting a dragon in her character events.
• I Call It "Vera": Her sword, Balmung.
• Nature Lover: She prefers staying in the forest than being kept within urban surroundings.
• Optional Party Member: Recruited from Valhalla on the True End path.
• Shipper on Deck: Her bird friends are rather nosy about pairing her with Chihaya.
• Speaks Fluent Animal: She easily communicates with animals.
• Stone Wall: Kind of. Her attack stat isn't bad, but having limited offensive skills means you can't rely on her to do damage. Not that it matters, since Siegfried's insane defence stat makes her almost impervious to all but the hardest hits. Buffing it up further and equipping critical damage mitigating items will make her truly Nigh-Invulnerable.

Hercules

Voiced by: Ryouko Tanaka

• Amazonian Beauty: She is huge and wields a stone column as her weapon.

• Gentle Giant: She matches Alexander's level of enthusiasm when she's in a good mood and will just laugh everything off.
• I Gave My Word: She was sealed away before finishing her Ten Labors, and is determined to complete the final two despite the one who gave them to her being long dead.
• Mini Dress Of Power: She wears a white tunic that barely covers her muscled body.
• Optional Party Member: Recruited from Arcadia on the True End path.
• Super-Strength: Single-handedly holds off dozens of heroines in her introductory scene through pure strength.

Tai Gong Wang

"I'm just playing a little mini-game called fishing in this long game of life. No doubt there's a rare item waiting in the final stage."

• Gamer Chick: Her portrayal fits the stereotypical Anime gamer girl archetype.
• Hyperspace Arsenal: Several objects are floating around her including a sword, spinning blade, flag, footstool, bird cage, and more.

• As Long as There Is Evil: She seeks the accumulated darkness within Camelot and the Dark Realm to revive the Mu continent.

• Deader than Dead: When she's killed by the Zipang army, she realizes she isn't going to "rewind" any more. Subverted in that Nyarlathotep brings her back one more time to force her to fight the Zipang army again. Twice.
• Despair Event Horizon: Nyarlathotep intentionally pushed her to cross this.
• Heel–Face Turn: In the True Ending.
• The Man Behind the Man: Responsible for giving out the pendants that turned nearly everyone else Brainwashed and Crazy.

• "Not So Different" Remark:
  • Tells this to Chihaya by saying they both want the world covered in war.
  • She quickly realizes her methods made her no different from Nyarlathotep.
• One-Winged Angel: Inverted. The first time she's fought (as part of the Normal end) is her OWA form. When she's fought again in the True End path, she's normal.
• Skull for a Head: Her face appears to be skull-like.

Important NPCs

Merlin

"It is I, Merlin. The Great Magician!"

• And I Must Scream: The effect that Angolmois's influence has over her makes her wish she could die.
• Barrier Maiden: One that keeps the "English Channel Barrier" intact to prevent an invasion from the European Federation.

• Big Good: Much of resolving Britannia's, and the world's, plight involves finding her whereabouts.
• Chekhov's Gun: In-Universe, the protective amulets she had created for Camelot.
• Last of Her Kind: Rather, the only one of her kind.
• The Load: Averted. She has no offensive capabilities and thus can't fight, but she is able to contribute to several battles in her own way. Balin teases her by calling her this though.
• Nigh-Invulnerable: Try as people might, she can't be permanently killed.
• No, You: Her response when Nyarlathotep calls her trash.
• Phrase Catcher: "Because she's Merlin," is used to describe anything about her quirks.
• Promoted to Playable: In GOLD, she can be recruited by completing three of Percival's events and the "Unsealing Avalon" mission; she completely lacks offense, but has high defense and skills that buff her allies.
• Sealed Good in a Can: Within the Dark Realm.
• Who Wants to Live Forever?: Nyarlathotep reveals her secret that she cries from loneliness.

Angolmois

"Fanzines...! ...Must have fanzines...!"

• Artifact of Doom: A living one.
• Back from the Dead: Returns for a rematch during the True Ending route.
• Living MacGuffin: Nostradamus's character arc involves finding him.
• Mind Screw: What his influence does to those in his presence. A Yaoi Fangirl like Nostradamus^note and Napoleon find it inspiring while others begin to lose their sanity.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: By Nyarlathotep as he is the only being who isn't affected by her power.
• Superboss: Fighting him after his return is optional (and he has more HP than the true final boss), but his presence reduces income by 50%.

Nyarlathotep

"Yes, this world is my toybox, and you are all toys to be played with for my entertainment."

• A God Am I: When Chihaya first asks who she is, she simply replies with, "I am God."
• Badass Boast: "Hehe... I am a being that inhabits the darkness. I exist at the bottom of your imaginations, in the garden of ruin. A being that desires desctruction, and flirts with decay... that delights in grief, and crawls towards chaos... I am Nyarlathotep. The creator of this world, the one and only god. Or that's what I tell people. It's a cool speech, don't you think?"
• Barrier Change Boss: She adjusts her weapon category during her final battle.
• Batman Gambit: She allowed Mu to try and overthrow her because it would be entertaining to watch knowing she would fail.
• The Chessmaster: She set up the events of the game for her own entertainment and even speaks like a Dungeons & Dragons dungeon master at times by stating she "set" the Kusanagi to be Takeru's sword.
• Cold-Blooded Torture: Comes down hard on Chihaya when he refuses to accept her proposal to become the new Adam to her Eve.

• Eldritch Abomination: Her true form. A form fitting her Lovecraftian origins.
• Establishing Character Moment: Complaining she's bored, declaring herself god, explains how the world is her toy box, and proves her powers by teleporting Benkei and Lancelot over from halfway across the world and taking control of them.
• Evil Laugh: Most notably after reviving Mu and sending her to attack the Zipang army by reprogramming her body to obey her commands but to leave her mind free.
• The Evils of Free Will: If the world is on a path to peace, she just resets everything with new settings to get them all to fight again.
• Faking the Dead: She only pretends to be defeated after the first battle against her just to see Chihaya's expression change from celebrating the victory to both seeing her still alive and seeing all of the heroes be erased by her.
• Faux Affably Evil: Speaks with a casual, playful tone, all while saying how the world is her playground and the heroes her toys.
• Forever War: Her main goal, just so she can stay entertained.
• For Science!: Allowing the darkness to enter Takeru's body and revive her corpse after being killed when destroying the Staff of Narayana.
• For the Evulz: The world is her toy box and everyone in it her toys. She just wants to be entertained and this is her motive.
• Glowing Eyes of Doom: A permanent feature.
• God Is Evil: She doesn't bat an eye at using her near-omnipotence to mess with everyone and everything.
• Greater-Scope Villain: The true final boss.
• Hoist by Her Own Petard: Simply resetting the world again would have been boring, so she gives the Zipang army a fighting chance to find her and fight back. It's her desire for entertainment, this sporting chance, and her reviving Mu one more time to make her fight the party that bring her downfall.
• I Have You Now, My Pretty: A female to male example as she wants to make Chihaya the Adam to her Eve in creating a new world, regardless of if he accepts the idea or not.
• Interface Screw: Her rewinding of time causes the dialogue windows to disappear and the screen to briefly go black.
• It Amused Me: Her reasoning for a lot of the things she does and has done, including rewriting history to turn the historical figures into women: She was curious to see how things would play out that way.
• It's All About Me: If it doesn't entertain her, it's not worth existing.

• Knight of Cerebus: While the series didn't lack dark moments, her presence makes everything worse.
• The Right Hand of Doom: Her left hand has an eerie glow in her character portrait.
• Manipulative Bitch: Everything that happens in the game was set up by her for her own entertainment.
• The Man Behind the Man: Twisted. She intentionally pushed Mu past the Despair Event Horizon just to get her to defy her and then make her fail.
• Miss Exposition: A lot gets explained in her introductory scene.
• Monstrous Humanoid: In her human form, she could almost pass off for a normal schoolgirl if not for her pitch black skin, glowing hands, and demonic eyes.
• One-Hit Kill: In her final battle, her 10-orb attack is an instant kill. No exceptions without the proper accessory to survive with 1 health.
• One-Winged Angel: Her Eldritch Abomination form.
• People Puppets: She can take control of anyone, anywhere. And it's not by magic, she can completely reprogram their entire personalities.
• Replacement Goldfish: She wants Chihaya to replace Mu and cover the world in chaos.
• Sadistic Choice: Every step towards facing off against her is one of these, as she makes the party fight ancient beings or heroes that she has taken control of. If they don't, she wins and the world is reset.
• Shut Up, Hannibal!: She receives a collective one from everybody before the final battle.
• Significant White Hair, Dark Skin: Blonde hair, skin as black as charcoal and the most dangerous being in the game.
• Spoiled Brat: The way she acts and treats everything, with a strong dose of Alpha Bitch mixed in for good measure.
• This Cannot Be!: After her first defeat, though she was acting. Though after her real defeat, it's played very straight.
• Time Master: She uses the Staff of Narayana to manipulate time in the world to suit her whims, including introducing Schizo Tech into the world and being responsible for all of the famous heroes becoming women.
• Villainous Breakdown: She goes down kicking and screaming after her defeat.
• Walking Spoiler: Her introductory scene and mere existence spoil a great portion of the game for anyone not on the True Ending path.
• Yandere: To Chihaya, whom she wants to make the Adam to her Eve, and will kill all the heroines to achieve this. It's more likely that she's just toying with Chihaya with the proposal to make him her husband, but the Cold-Blooded Torture she pulls definitely places her in that territory.
• You Have Failed Me: After siccing Susano'o on the party, she obliterates him completely after they defeat him and he stops fighting in order to attempt to communicate.

The Prototype Heroes (UNMARKED SPOILERS)

Following the reveal of Nyarlathotep, as you try to reach her, she throws many legendary deities in your way to hinder your progress. These deities were all against Nyarlathotep and her machinations for the world, but with her staff, she defeated them all and turned them into puppets for her amusement.
