Characters / Failure Frame

Characters for Failure Frame:

Protagonist:

Mimori Touka

Damn that Bitch Goddess!

• Absurd Phobia: Justified. He's terrified of booze and refuses to partake. This is Truth in Television as there is a predisposition to substance addiction which gets passed from parent to child, and Mimori is terrified of becoming an abusive drunk like both of his parents were.
• Abusive Parents: Both his mother and father were abusive drunks who tried to "abort" him by shoving him onto a veranda, at age 10, in the middle of winter, after beating him up a bit, promising to give him more of the same if he made any sound, and the reason he ate any meals at all is because his mother, planning to cook for two, herself and his father, habitually made "too much," and gave him the left-overs, out of "pity." Fortunately, the neighbors actually had a conscience and called the police on them.
• Anti-Hero: Due to his experiences, he's one by default.
• Awesome by Analysis: Denied any form of instruction on how his powers and the RPG Mechanics 'Verse works, he figured it out all by himself, and can communicate with the slime Piggimaru despite the fact that the latter can't talk.
• Bathtub Bonding: Discussed. He and Seras argue over who is going to bathe first at one point. It Makes Sense in Context. After a bit of back and forth, neither of them willing to stand down, he states "why don't we both bathe together then." The illustrations at the end of volume 6 reveal that Seras took him up on it, but at least she was wearing a Modesty Towel.
• Best Served Cold: He strongly wants to avenge himself on Vicius for literally treating him like trash and arbitrarily dumping him in a dungeon with overpowered monsters and no sustenance, but lacking the means to carry it out, quests to find a way and bides his time until he can.
• Big Brother Instinct: Do not abuse a child when he's around. Child abuse is a Trauma Button for him. If you abuse children, pray to whatever god(s) you worship that he doesn't learn of it, or worse, see it, because if he does, your death will be especially graphic. The mistress of the bar where Lizbet worked got beat up by Eve when she saw the abuse, before Eve took custody of Liz and Liz's "Back pay." Mimori didn't think that was enough, so he went back when nobody else was around, and really made her pay...
• Big Damn Heroes: Shows up as Gizan was about to rape Seras, to paralyze and poison both the bastard and his dragon mount.
• Boring, but Practical: His special transmigration item "charitably" given to him by Vicius can provide a random food and beverage from his homeworld every few hours, when fed with mana. When thrown into a siege, or an environment where no other provisions are available, this is a definite life-saver, and is an important reason why he survived Disposal Ruins Dungeon.
• The Chess Master: Is very adept at formulating plans, strategies, and tactics to meet his goals and using unexpected variables to his advantage.
• Combat Pragmatist: When he fights, he fights dirty. He has no choice as his stats are abysmal and the only thing he's got going for him is the fact that he's got powerful debuff abilities with a near 100% effectiveness. The only being shown immune is goddess Vicius herself.
• Conditioned to Accept Horror: His life under his parents was so horrific, he sees the monsters of Disposal Dungeon as less scary. He secretly very much wants to "thank" them for it, if he ever gets the chance.
• Crippling Overspecialization: He's got powerful debuff skills, it compense the fact his mana pool is very weak for his level, but he's otherwise completely helpless, being killed if he takes even one blow, and don't have any long range attack.
• Curse: As a summoned Hero he received the skill Abnormal State Endowment which allows him to apply status ailments on the target. In addition his debuffs always work, which broke the common sense of this world because this kind of ability normally has awful success rate. However, his powers have several drawbacks, his debuffs are only effective at a short range, 20 meters at most, each has a limited number of uses at the same time and some have a cooldown, he also needs to have the target(s) in sight, and like others summoned hero he need to speak the name of the skill aloud. Also, his stats per level are the weakest, for example at level 2000 his strength would be the same as a A-rank Hero at level 12, it may be the reason of his great success rate. Fortunately, his powers don't need much mana, and he was able to level-up more than his classmates. In order he got:
  • The Paralyzer: One of the three skills he starts the story with is Paralyzis that prevents the target from moving. If they try, they will take damage. He can release the head if he needs them to talk.
  • Poisonous Person: His skill Poison slowly kills the target by Damage Over Time and it even works on undead. Later he unlocks the non-lethal mode for torture purposes.
  • Forced Sleep: Completely neutralizes the target by putting it into sleeping. He uses it when Paralyzis reaches its maximum number of daily uses, and he alternates both in order to deal with the ones which Poison takes a lot of time to kill.
  • Harmless Freezing: His skill Freeze applies an ice seal on the target for 300 days, and nothing can break said ice, not even himself. This skill can also be used on an inanimate target, but it has a very low number of max targets.
  • Temporary Blindness: Blocks target sight, Touka also uses it for torture purposes.
  • Blinded by Rage: His skill Berserk puts an opponent under Unstoppable Rage, and he can control the victim by designating a target.
  • Time Stands Still: His skill Slow makes everything move slower in his close surroundings, not only the living, but also arrows... everything except himself. In exchange, he can't use other debuffs at the same time, and the skill goes into cooldown after only a hundred seconds, but unlike the other skills it doesn't rely on line of sight - everything around him is affected.
• Defensive Feint Trap: He's not above pretending to be weak and helpless in order to lure his enemies into getting close enough to use his abilities on. In fact, he defeats the Soul Eater this way, which allows him to escape Disposal Dungeon.
• Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: Quite literally. When Vicius asks him if he has any last words, he then goes Flipping the Bird at her and shouts "go to hell, Bitch Goddess."
• A Friend in Need: How Seras sees him and later both Eva Speed and Lizbet also see him. He has repeatedly come to her aid at her most desperate, without asking for anything in return. She swears Undying Loyalty as a direct result, which tickles him pink, even if he doesn't feel worthy of it.
• Friend to All Living Things: As long as they're not golden-eyed monsters, animals really get along with him for some reason.
• Fusion Dance: He can temporarily fuse himself with Piggimaru. This move quickly drains his MP, but it allows him to use him as an extended limb - and his Abnormal Abnormal State Skill is mostly limited by range.
• Good Is Not Soft: This clearly apply to him. Mess with his True Companions and he will bend over backwards to see that you get a Cruel and Unusual Death. Messing with the innocent and helpless, and letting him see it, won't do you any favors either.
• Guile Hero: His most dangerous attribute is his intelligence. He has defeated monsters and enemies way, way above his paygrade by outsmarting them and exploiting their weaknesses.
• Happily Adopted: His uncle and aunt treated him with genuine compassion, and he sees them as parental figures far more than his own parents.
• Hard Work Hardly Works: Defied. His desperate struggles have made him immensely powerful. Get in range of his abilities, as an antagonist, and you're doomed.
• Heart Is an Awesome Power: The abilities Vicius called useless? They allow him to survive and emerge from the "disposal dungeon" Vicius treats as an execution ground.
• Heroic Self-Deprecation: Since his primary motivation is revenge upon Vicius, he doesn't see himself as any kind of "hero". The party that winds up choosing to travel with him strongly disagrees.
• I Shall Taunt You: Exploited. He taunts the Soul Eater when it's paralyzed, and the creature tries to break the paralysis in its rage, only to die far more quickly than it would have if it had just waited patiently for the paralysis to wear off.
• It's All My Fault: In the manga, he flashbacks to the day his parents locked him on the veranda, and at that time he honestly believed it was something he did, or was doing, that drove his parents to abuse him, and if he was a better child, they would have doted on him and praised him. Then his consciousness whisks back to the present, and he has an epiphany, realizing that some people are just straight-up evil and deserve death for their actions.
• I Warned You: While protesting his "disposal", he loudly warns the class that the moment Vicius sees them as useless, she will dispose of them too. His cries were ignored, but it isn't too long before she starts looking at the "D-rank" students and trying to dispose of them too.
• Knight in Sour Armor: He does want to make the world a better place, and happily gives help to the helpless, when he can, without asking for a reward, but he's suffered so much abuse, betrayal, and contempt from ungrateful bastards that he's quite cynical. Then there's the way Vicius treated him...
• Lady and Knight: Gender inverted. He's the lord to Seras's knight.
• Leave No Witnesses: Antagonize him, and consider yourself lucky if people stumble upon your corpse.
• Lethal Joke Character: What Vicius failed to realize when she "discarded" him. She presumed his abysmal growth rate and debuff skills would make him a burden to the rest of the "heroes" at best. She never stopped to consider his skills would be far, far more effective than similar skills she's used to and would make him an extremely dangerous enemy.
• Miracle Food: His unique item is a leather bag that can produce food, water, cocoa...
• Moment Killer: At the end of chapter 301, he and Seras go to a secluded room and are finally about to go all the way, but Munin comes barging in. Touka tries to recover by using Munin's own promise of cuddling and loving to suggest Three-Way Sex. When Munin agrees to that, Erika's familiar comes knocking on the bedroom window, delivering an urgent message, ruining the mood entirely.
• Morton's Fork: Chapter 329 has him caught between a rock and a hard place. He has just incapacitated Kirihara, but Ayaka tried to brain him with a mace, for daring to defend himself, so he doesn't dare try to deliver the finishing blow, because Ayaka would resort to lethal force to stop him. On the other hand, chapters 326-328 are all about Kirihara demonstrating beyond any possible doubt that he'd kill Mimori to "rescue" Seras the instant he wakes up, and in fact believes that Seras will undeniably follow his orders because he's a "king". He has informed Ayaka of the latter, but she refuses to believe it, insisting that her words and her words alone can get through to Kirihara, when they never have before and Kirihara has tried to kill her himself already several times.
• Mundane Utility: He uses his "sleep" skill to treat Seras's insomnia.
• No Body Left Behind: Applying "freeze" to any non-living object allows said object to be shattered into powder by smashing it with a hammer. Mimori uses it to eliminate the group Asinth who was hunting them for money, and frame said group for the deaths of both the Black Dragon Knights, and a corrupt noble and his retinue.
• One-Man Army: When his debuff skills reach level 2, he can designate multiple targets with them, allowing him to solo armies, unscathed. Even at level 1 skills, he still tore through an army of monsters, targeting one at a time, then just kept them stun-locked until they died.
• Parental Abandonment: When his parents realized that the law didn't agree with their mindset that "he's our brat, and we can do whatever we want with him," his father shoved him unto his uncle. Fortunately for him, his uncle treated him with genuine kindness and affection, never blaming him for the horrific behavior of his parents.
• Paralyzing Fear of Sexuality: Because his parents never cared when they were doing it in front of him as a child.
• Pay Evil unto Evil: From the moment he was thrown into Disposal Ruins, his policy has been "if you want to harm me, I'll just be faster and harm you first". This reaches its zenith when he encounters the mercenary party [Heroic Sword]. After he speaks with Toad and heard how fanatically racist they are, to the the point that they believe sadistically genociding the Speed tribe is something to be proud of, and consider them trying to peacefully coexist "evil", he throws their own standards back at them as he sadistically starts to kill them. "It's your policy to completely crush people who disgust you. Well, I find you disgusting, so I'm going to crush you. You don't have a problem with that, right?"
• Reason Before Honor: Facing a Blood Knight who wants a Worthy Opponent but has threatened to rape and murder your True Companions when you meet again? Sure, agree to an honorable handshake, just to lure the bastard close enough to use your skills on him and give him a Cruel and Unusual Death.
• Rescue Romance: How he wins over his love interests.
• Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath. He is quick to anger and prone to go through Tranquil Fury. Though his rage is justified in that he directs it to people whose actions deserve nothing but scorn.
• Seven Heavenly Virtues: Charity, Chastity, and Temperance. He offers a helping hand to the helpless whenever he can. He's got Seras throwing herself at him, but he keeps things innocent until he can secure them a safe environment, and he only fights or kills in self-defense, taking only what he needs.
• Sickening Sweethearts: With Seras. He considers her the most beautiful woman in the world, and openly says so, loves to gently run his fingers through her hair, watch her face as she sleeps, and it even gets to the point where they greet each other with a "good morning" kiss!
• The Social Expert: After a fashion. He's good at reading facial cues and body language, even from creatures that don't have a face, like the slime Piggimaru. For example he can tell what Seras is thinking just by looking at her face. In chapter 289 he guessed the emperor was waiting them from Hawk's attitude.
• Spanner in the Works: His struggles for survival, by their very nature, are a major thorn in Vicius' side, though he's not aware of it. Ironically, it's all her fault.
  • Sending him to the "disposal dungeon" after deeming him useless, lets him grind his way to become the powerhouse he becomes later on.
  • Wiping out the Nea Holy Knights, after they attacked and tried to rob him stopped Seras from being dragged to Vicius, where the corpse would have been mounted and put on display in her sick collection.
  • Wiping out the Black Dragon Knights stopped them from being sent to "train" Ayaka's faction of Class 2-C, saving the students from being murdered, especially the girls, who would have been used as sex toys first, consent be damned.
  • Eliminating Duke Zuan, and his entire Knight retinue, has put the kingdom of Uraz in a major succession crisis, since Zuan spent so much time running a gladiatorial arena, and raping the female "winners" before killing them, that he's not sired any heirs. It also keeps Uraz from meddling with Class 2-C, forcing Vicius to put off her scheduled purges of the more lack-luster "heroes". Not to mention that with Duke Zuan dead, the blood-fight arena has nobody in charge, and the slaves are now owner-less...
  • The mercenary party [Heroic Sword] is using Nyaki to try to enter Faraway Country to try and engage in their favorite pass-time, genocide, at Vicius's orders. They abuse Nyaki, making her flee for her life, so she encounters Touka and tells him how they brag about being responsible for the elimination of the Speed Tribe. Well, Vicius, kiss that mercenary party goodbye...
• The Strategist: Though he's always open to opinions and options from his traveling companions, he's the one that designs the plans, strategies, and tactics to deal with whatever situation they come across. And this is justified as the fact that he nearly planned for every possibility means that his plan is always more or less perfect. Even if something doesn't go as he planned, he can quickly adapt for his benefit.
• True Companions: How he sees and treats his party. He will never betray or abandon them, not even for his precious vengeance.
• Upbringing Makes the Hero: While he had bad parents, it was his aunt and uncle who gave him a good education.
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: In-Universe. His life was hell both on Earth and in this new world, with a brief respite of being raised kindly by his paternal uncle and aunt-in-law. As a result, he's quite jaded and wishes fatal vengeance upon Vicius, even if that dooms the new world in the process, though he'd much rather avoid the last part.

Mimori's party:

Piggimaru

"Piggi!"

A slime Minori rescues... from other slimes.

---

• Commonality Connection: Mimori sympathizes with it when he sees it being chased by other slimes, as he knows full well how it feels to be bullied.
• Hates Being Alone: Insists on travelling with Mimori.
• I Owe You My Life: Mimori encountered it being lynched by five other slimes, and it would have died if he didn't intervene.
• The Sleepless: Slimes don't appear to need sleep.
• The Speechless: Communicates via gestures and simple color changes.
• Team Pet: How it's seen by the rest of the party, aside from Mimori.

Seras Ashrain

My sword and my life are yours, My Lord.

• Absurd Phobia: She's afraid of earthworms, not the giant man-eating kind, but the ordinary kind found in a garden, as Nyaki finds out while playing with earthworms in Faraway Country.
• Adaptational Early Appearance: In the manga, she shows up in chapter 2, bathing in a river. In the light novel, she's not mentioned until Mimori meets her on the road in chapter 42, well into volume 2.
• Bathing Beauty: She is introduced bathing in a river in the manga, and the light-novel loves to illustrate her bathing at every opportunity.
• Bodyguarding a Badass: Though she's no slouch herself, Mimori is far more powerful than she is. Still, he trusts her to watch his back, and take turns with him on watch when they set up camp, and she's grateful.
• Debt Detester: After Mimori not only pays her a "finder's fee" much higher than she anticipated for negotiating the price of supplies on his behalf, but gave her the "Logan's Cup" that had an advertised price of 300 gold coins, which she desperately needed to ferry passage to the Jounta province, the one place where she might find refuge, she proposes becoming his bodyguard until they reach said port. When Mimori rescues her life repeatedly afterwards, she signs up as his Knight for life and gives him her Undying Loyalty.
• Exhausted Eyebags: Which Mimori noticed when the two were shopping for supplies before challenging the Mills Ruins. She has to reluctantly let him lie her down in his bed and use "Sleep" on her to let her rest, while inside said dungeon, revealing herself in the process. The fact that he doesn't turn on her is the primary reason she grows to love and trust him.
• The Exile: Chased out of her home country because of making a contract with a stray spirit, then she became a knight in Nea and was exiled once again because of Vicius.
• Fallen Princess: She used to be a High Elf princess, now she's spending her life on the run.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Golden-haired blonde and unflinchingly honest, honorable, and noble.
• Hero Ball: In chapters 298-300, despite being well aware of what kind of guy Oyamada is, thanks to Touka telling her ahead of time, as she's seeing him use Hawk, trying to lure out Munin, the forbidden race, she goes into a series of events that endanger Munin, Slei, and most importantly, herself. Because she chose not just to convince Munin to flee the Mira capital by herself, but engaged and challenged Oyamada head on, instead of using the same combat pragmatism she uses when fighting under Touka's command. The fanbase backlash was so intense, the author made several in-work comments and apologies on it. Even Seras herself realizes how stupid that was, in hindsight.
• Heroes Prefer Swords: She does.
• Honor Before Reason: When Mimori gives her the Logan Cup for free, because it wouldn't do him any good and she really needed it, she protested that she didn't feel right taking it for free, so he agrees to let her be his bodyguard, at least until the Mills Ruins dungeon was conquered.
• I Owe You My Life: Mimori has repeatedly rescued her from certain death, refusing any and all reward, so she swears to serve him for life. He accepts, not just because of her personality, but because she's a Master Swordsman, and can watch his back.
• I Will Only Slow You Down: When she learned from Civit that king Ortra put a bounty on her head, and Vicius also put word out for all the armies of the world to hunt her down, she begged Mimori to release her from her contract to be his bodyguard and guide, even offering to return the advance payment. When he insists that he doesn't care about any of that, and chose her to be his bodyguard, not only for her martial merit, but because he actively enjoys her company, she falls in love with him and dedicates herself to his service, for life.
• An Ice Person: Though the matter has not been fully elaborated on, she can summon weapons of ice in a pinch.
• If It's You, It's Okay: Outright says this when Touka holds her tight while they're riding on a horse.
• Indifferent Beauty: Has been approached by numerous men seeking her beauty amongst other things, but never cared about her looks until she met Touka.
• Irony: She can discern lies but she's not very good at telling them herself.
• The Insomniac: Asking forest spirits to disguise her with illusion magic stripped away her ability to sleep on her own. Upon becoming Mimori's subordinate, he uses the "Sleep" debuff to force her to sleep, allowing her to get the rest she needs.
• Lady and Knight: The knight to Mimori's Lord.
• Lady of War: She isn't just physically attractive with a personality that's gorgeous to the core of her soul, she's also the epitome of elegance in battle. When Mimori sees her swordsmanship in Mills Ruins, he's awestruck and develops a huge crush on her.
• Lap Pillow: Gives one to Mimori after he wears himself out fighting an army of extremely dangerous monsters to protect her. He winds up sleeping in her lap for hours.
• Living Lie Detector: She can always tell when people are lying to her.
• Living MacGuffin: Since Vicius has marked her for death for the "crime" of souring her mood by daring to defy her whims, just about every country has troops hunting her down.
• Luminescent Blush: When Mimori tells her she's the most beautiful woman in the world, and it isn't empty flattery, her face and ears turn a nice shade of tomato.
• Master Swordsman: She specializes in sword-fighting.
• Morton's Fork: Death by exhaustion because she was keeping her illusion magic active at the cost of insomnia, or death by execution when she's captured because she can't camouflage. Fortunately, meeting with Mimori gave her a third option...
• Nature Spirit: She borrows the power of spirits to fight.
• Never Got to Say Goodbye: To her former master, Princess Cattleya, which is a source of Conflicting Loyalty while she's serving Touka. Fortunately, he was sympathetic and helps her save the princess so they can have a proper parting with no regrets.
• Official Couple: It takes a while, a long while, but Mimori and Seras become completely devoted to each other, and inseparable.
• One-Woman Army: Even at her most exhausted, if you're going after her, you'd better bring an army with you to stand a chance. This is highlighted in the Mills City arc when the Black Dragon Knights bear down on her. She wipes out no less than 5 guys, and their dragon mounts in the blink of an eye before Vice Captain Gizan lands on-top of her with his dragon, pinning her to the ground and threatening her with sexual slavery for the affront of daring to defend herself.
• Our Elves Are Different: There are three types of elves in the story, High-elves, wood-elves, and dark-elves. She's a High-Elf.
• The Peeping Tom: She likes to peep at Touka when he's bathing, not the other way around.
• Perverted Sniffing: On at least one occasion, she's gone and smelled Touka's clothes without him noticing, and fantasized about him in response.
• Pointed Ears: To show that she's an elf, she's got pointed ears. She's able to disguise them as human ears with help from the spirits.
• So Beautiful, It's a Curse: Her beauty and heritage have many repugnant men wanting her as a sex toy.
• Subordinate Excuse: Uses the fact that she's Mimori's subordinate to snuggle up to him, share his room, and lie down beside him. Mimori is well aware of it, and likes it, but keeps everything innocent because there's too much life threatening stuff going on.
• Too Desperate to Be Picky: She was at the limit of her stamina in Mills, which is why she fell for the 300 gold Schmuck Bait from Duke Red Cley. When Mimori noticed she failed to meet at their appointed rendezvous, he sought her out and came to her rescue, again.
• Undying Loyalty: When she swore to serve Mimori for life, she meant it. Mimori graciously accepts.
• Worf Had the Flu: She is beat down, easily, by the vice-captain of the Black Dragons, but she was at the end of her endurance and had fought her way through the guy's subordinates and their dragon mounts. In a fair fight, it's likely she would have beaten him and his mount with ease, which he acknowledges.

Eve Speed

Her human form.

A beast-man gladiator Mimori rescues from the town of Mills, both because it's the right thing to do, and because she's the key to finding the "counter-indicated witch" that might, just might, have the means to teach Mimori how to deal with Vicius.

---

• All for Nothing: Two years fighting in a gladiatorial arena for her and Lizbet's freedom, but the Duke of Mills had no intention of honoring his end, planning to poison her on her last bout.
• Beastman: Has so many animalistic features that the Takaro sisters mistake her for a monster at one point. Said sisters are properly apologetic when they realize their error.
• Big Damn Heroes: When Hijiri is at the brink of death from Vicius's poison at the end of volume 8, Eve shows up and rescues her and Itsuki, taking them to Erika for treatment.
• The Cake Is a Lie: Was promised her own freedom and Lizbet's if she became the undefeated champion of a multi-year fight-to-the-death tournament. However the tournament organizers planned to sabotage the last fight and were so smug they bragged about it where she could hear them. What's worse is that they also bragged that, if she somehow still won the fight, they never intended to keep their end of the bargain, instead planning to kill both her and Lizbet the moment people stopped watching.
• Debt Detester: Mimori fulfilled his end of the deal, bringing her and Lizbet to a safe place, and freeing them from the scorn of Uraz. She follows them into harm anyway because she feels indebted for Seras for protecting Lizbet from Duke Zuan's soldiers and their depravity.
• Forced Prize Fight: Was in one for years prior to the start of the story. Flees with Mimori the moment she realizes she was never going to be given her prize for winning.
• Horrible Judge of Character: She has a tendency to put her trust in the untrustworthy and suspect the trustworthy. She trusted Duke Zuan would keep his end of the years-long tournament and free both her and Lizbet, and turned on Mimori with distrust when he told her of the duke's reputation. Fortunately, she investigated and learned the truth before it was too late.
• Hot in Human Form: Indeed, she's quite the Head-Turning Beauty that Even the Girls Want Her, not that she cares. Though her human form helps throw off people looking for Eve Speed the leopard-woman.
• I Am Not Pretty: Justified. Since she never shape-shifted to a human form before, she doesn't know how gorgeous her human form is.
• I Have Your Wife: Duke Zuan has Lizbet effectively held hostage to make Eve fight in his Gladiator Games. Even if Eve could grab her and run, they wouldn't have the means to outrun his troops or reach the Witch of Taboos for refuge. Fortunately, Touka gives her an out.
• Made a Slave: Her home village burned down, she fled from slavers, until she and Lizbet ran into a swarm of monsters, forcing her to turn around and fall right into the slavers' arms.
• Mama Bear: Mess with Lizbet and your life is forfeit.
• Panthera Awesome: She's a leopard-woman, especially after the "Witch of Taboos" gives her a magical bangle that allows for Voluntary Shapeshifting, so she can go "human" or "beast" at will.
• Skilled, but Naive: She's an excellent fighter but not too smart, which she admits.
• Spirited Competitor: Fights for the thrill of the challenge.
• Stupid Good: She tends to be a bit too honest, honorable, and upright for her own good, keeping her end of a bargain when the other party does not.
• This Is Unforgivable!: Had Duke Zuan only wronged her and sincerely apologized, Eve might have forgiven him, despite knowing that he's entirely untrustworthy. Unfortunately for him, he bragged about planning to force Lizbet to wear Eve's hide as a cloak, use her as a Sex Slave, and then dispose of her in a brothel when he got bored. These plans to brutalize and traumatize Lizbet sealed his fate.
• Voluntary Shapeshifting: After meeting with Erika and being given a special magical bangle, she can go "beast" or "human" or in-between at will. This transformation does have two limitations. The first one is how it needs a large amount of mana that Eve herself can't provide. Which is why she needs Mimori to provide the mana for her and this poses a problem if he is not around when she needs to transform. The second one is how she can only 90 percent of her full capability when she is in human form and have to deal with several side effects like feeling colder due to lack of fur, a hindrance to her movement due to longer hair and bigger boobs, and loss of balance due to lack of tail. Luckily, this isn't much of a problem as she quickly gets used to it.

Lizbet

A dark elf little girl cared for by Eve Speed.

---

• Badass and Child Duo: The child to Eve's badass.
• Cheerful Child: Despite the abuse she received at the tavern, she never let it destroy her youthful innocence and wonder. Mimori is actually quite jealous about it.
• Children Are Innocent: She's a very sweet, adorable, and well-behaved child. So much so that Erika takes to teaching her how to make medicine and do the household chores, and she happily complies, at the price of some simple head-pats and words of praise.
• Dark and Troubled Past: Abused by the tavern mistress that "employed" her and took out the customers' frustrations and complaints, no matter how illegitimate, on her hide.
• Hostage Situation: She's the hostage to compel Eve into the Forced Prize Fight.
• Instant Expert: In less than a week, she masters making healing potions, medicines, and antidotes from the recipes Erika provides, rivaling, if not surpassing, the quality of Erika's own medicines. Lizbet says that making medicines is so similar to cooking, where she excels, that it was easy for her to pick up the skill.
• Made a Slave: Just like Eve Speed, she was enslaved when her home was burned down.
• Our Elves Are Different: She's a dark-elf.
• Support Party Member: She is the only member of Mimori's party that can cook.
• Supreme Chef: She is an excellent cook.
• Sweet Tooth: She loves the confectionery that Mimori can provide from his home-world through his unique item.
• Trauma Button: Loud noises. The tavern matron who "employed" her took great pleasure screaming right in her ear as a prelude to punishment for even the tiniest mistake, real or imagined. Mimori slapping a wall, loudly, and seeing her flinch in response clued him in on it, so he made said matron suffer for it.
• Workplace-Acquired Abilities: As a direct result of her "employment" at an inn, she learned how to be an excellent chef and homemaker. Mimori's entire party is grateful.

Erika

The counter-indicated "Witch of Taboos", Mimori seeks her to find information on how to deal with Vicius.

---

• A-Cup Angst: She's well-endowed herself, but envies Seras and Eve having bigger breasts.
• It's Personal: If Eve could identify the people who genocided the Speed Tribe Erika would have waged bloody vengeance on them.
• Familiar: How she communicates with others outside her home.
• Hard-Drinking Party Girl: Loves the booze that Touka's unique item sometimes provides.
• Logical Weakness: Her familiars are normal animals that she controls remotely with her consciousness, so they are vulnerable to predation and other mundane manner of physical harm and death.
• Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: She used to work for Vicius, until the latter decided she was no longer needed and tried to kill her because she knew too much. Erika now would like nothing better than to see the self-proclaimed goddess dead as dead gets.
• Obstructive Code of Conduct: She is magically fixed to the building that is her home. She cannot leave.
• The Team Benefactor: She provides Touka's group with a great deal of goods, especially the magical ATV and a bunch of golems, which helped tip the fight in rescuing Cattleya and Ayaka from a swarm of gold-eyed monsters and two demon king generals. Ayaka killed one while Touka killed the other.
• The Tease: While grilling Touka on his backstory, she tries some suggestive poses to make him drop his guard and get a rise out of him but he's unfazed.

Nyaki

Thanks for helping me, Touka NYA!

The sacred beast Touka and Seras rescue from [Heroic Sword].

---

• Cat Girl: Has cat ears on her head.
• Cheerful Child: Once away from the mercenary band [Heroic Sword], she's a sweet and happy child.
• Children Are Innocent: She did nothing wrong, and when she met Touka and Seras, repeatedly tried to warn them about [Heroic Sword], even willing to sacrifice herself to let Touka and Seras escape. This made Touka even more vengeful against the abuse this poor girl received.
• Friend to Bugs: Or rather friend to creepy crawlies. She loves to play with earthworms and other such critters, even happily showing off an earthworm she found while gardening to Seras, which freaked the latter out.
• Happily Adopted: She was adopted by Nyantan's mother.
• One Degree of Separation: She's Nyantan Keekipat's step-sister, by adoption.
• Verbal Tic: Ends all her sentences with "Nya".

Munin

Found in Faraway Country, she joins the party in order to find and use the "Forbidden Curses" to help Mimori kill Vicius.

---

• Best Served Cold: She agrees to help Touka try and kill Vicius because she wants revenge for what the latter did to her people.
• Living MacGuffin: Because she's a member of the Kurosaga, the forbidden race, Vicius is outright desperate to exterminate her, and people like Touka and Zine, "the mad emperor" of Mira want to use her to Kill the God.
• Man of Kryptonite: She is one of the individuals of her race who can pierce Vicius's shield bubble, allowing Touka to use his abnormal state skills on the evil goddess.
• The Tease: She almost constantly tries to sexually entice Touka.
• Winged Humanoid: She has large black angel wings. She can hide them, if need be, but doing so is very exhausting.

Classmates:

Ayaka Sogou

Mimori, classmates, I'm sorry...

• Adaptational Modesty: In the novel, she frequently complains that Vicius put her into a Chainmail Bikini. In the manga, her armor is a practical, if form-fitting, suit of plate-mail with chain leggings.
• Adaptational Wimp: In the original novel, she was able to parry a blow from Vicius when the latter attacked her, but could not deal with the follow-up. In the manga, Vicius simply renders her unconscious with a karate chop to the neck when her back was turned.
• Attack! Attack! Attack!: Her only boost is to her attack stat, as such, she takes the vanguard when going into battle.
• Because You Were Nice to Me: Aside from the duties of class president, she stands up for Mimori against goddess Vicius because he stood up for her when Oyamada was giving her grief on the school bus.
• Being Good Sucks: Her life has majorly sucked upon getting to this new world. Taking her role as class president seriously, standing up for Mimori, gets her rendered unconscious by Vicius and mocked for it by most of the class. She's constantly under the Sword of Damocles, worrying that the D-ranked students will get purged by Vicius on a whim. She's paired with a Glory Seeker who steals kills from her, keeping her from advancing. Lastly, precisely because of said lack of advancement, she's downgraded from the coveted "S-rank" title to "B-rank" with the threat that downgrading too often will result in "disposal".
• Black-and-White Insanity: Vicius finds her insanely easy to manipulate because anything at all that can bring the classmates home is a virtue and anything that opposes it is unspeakably evil. As such, she takes what Vicius tells her as gospel, no matter how suspicious, as long as the evil goddess promises it's the way home. In chapter 318, Vicius lies through her teeth about the actions of 13th cavalry, states that "Fly King Belzegia" has callously murdered her classmates, and Mira's just a selfish conqueror who cares not a bit about future generations and just wants to Take Over the World, and Ayaka just eats it up, because Mira wants Vicius dead and that would jeopardize any chance she would have to bring the class home.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: Chapter 330 reveals there's actually damn good reason for her growing instability and stupidity. Vicius admits to Nyantan that she's been using brainwashing magic on Ayaka every time they meet, hoping she'd kill either Touka or Kirihara in her "justice idiot" self-righteous fugue.
• Broken Bird: Chapter 343 has Hijiri reveal that Ayaka was subjected to well-known and very effective "programming" techniques used by "religious" cults, unethical "wayward teen ranches" and other notorious institutions to break her will by Vicius, including sleep deprivation, and victim blaming. Small wonder Ayaka's such a hot mess.
• The Chains of Commanding: She takes her role as class president seriously and does her best to protect her classmates. Vicius exploits this to force her to fight.
• Class Representative: She's the class president of 2-C.
• Crime of Self-Defense: In chapter 329, she shows up on the scene after Touka gains the upper hand and renders Kirihara unconscious with a [Sleep] debuff. She challenges Mimori on attacking a fellow classmate and when he retorts "Kirihara is quick to murder anyone he finds annoying and even tried to murder me", her response is "that's not a good reason to try and kill him!"
• Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Which she awakens in chapter 182. She remembers a martial arts technique she was trained in as a child, and warned by her grandmother and sensei not to ever, ever use, except in extreme life-threatening circumstances, as a normal human body could not handle the backlash. She remembers that she's no longer a regular human after gaining a few levels in this new world and unleashes the technique, trying to save the rest of her class. This unlocks the special skill she was given for transmigrating, but was unaware of.
• Deconstructed Character Archetype: Of the All-Loving Heroine. She drives herself to ruin trying to see all her (nominal) allies like good people, pleads on behalf of her fellow students, even if they abandon or try to kill her, genuinely believes she did something wrong when Kirihara turns traitor and signs up with the Great Demon Emperor, stopping her from landing the final blow by attacking her from behind, and to top it all off, takes the words of Vicius at face value, despite seeing that the self-proclaimed god puts absolutely no value on the lives of the summoned "heroes" and is inherently untrustworthy.
• Despair Event Horizon: Clearly staring down it in chapter 181. What remains of the Bakugos Dragon Knights was wiped out early in the fight, due to their own Leeroy Jenkins divisiveness, her trusted mentors and allies are being overwhelmed, her fellow higher leveled, and officially higher-ranked classmates have completely fallen apart at facing a real challenge, and despite having killed monsters left and right, without pause, none of their efforts are reducing the numbers at all, instead the number of monsters is rapidly increasing, and the escape route has already been cut off...
• Does This Remind You of Anything?: Her "rational" pleas of how she can somehow convince Kirihara to stop being a murderous loon in chapter 329 sound eerily similar to the reasoning of women who suffer from Battered Spouse Syndrome when they proclaim that if they try hard enough, they can somehow convince their abusive lovers to stop being abusers, and that they should be given every possible opportunity without outside interference, as it's the interference, not the lovers in question, that's responsible for the abuse.
• Good Is Dumb: Her overarching goal of getting as many of class 2-C back to Japan as possible is a noble goal, but her obsession with attaining it at all costs causes her to devolve to a point that reading her POV is more effective at killing your braincells than trying to embalm yourself alive.
• Guilt Complex: In her side chapters, her internal narration shows that she blames herself for failing to rescue Touka from Vicius's "brilliant plan" to dump him in the Disposal Dungeon, which is why she struggles so hard to keep any other students from dying, even if said students are total assholes who make her job harder, treat her like crap, and maybe even try to straight up kill her to soothe their bruised egos when she outshines them.
• Hate Sink: She means well, she really does. But her Black-and-White Insanity and obsession with wearing blinders to keep from seeing Vicius as the monster she is, and avoid seeing that the country of Alion is genocidally racist, because the evil goddess keeps promising her a trip home, has completely alienated the fanbase. Just about all readers want her to face death at Touka's hands if she doesn't wake up from her self-righteous idiocy.
• Hostage Situation: She is in one, as Vicius has linked the well-being of the "D-rank" classmates to her performance...
• Morph Weapon: Her "Silver World" can take the form of any melee weapons she needs, depending of the opponent. It can even transform into a giant sword without changing the weight.
• Multi-Melee Master: She learnt the "Kisou-rycu", a martial art designed to be used in a real battlefield where you need sometimes to use your enemies' and allies' weapons. In short, it teaches every kind of martial art.
• My Master, Right or Wrong: Her attitude towards protecting her classmates leans dangerously towards this. Even if some of the most powerful ones want her dead.
• One-Woman Army: Once she awakens her ability.
• Only Sane Man: Out of the entire class of 2-C, she's the only one who openly voiced concern and opposition to the arbitrary dumping of Mimori. She got attacked and rendered unconscious for her troubles. Of the others who objected, they were either cowed in terror, or left the room in disgust.
• School Idol: Voted the most beautiful girl in class 2-C.
• Shaming the Mob: Calls out all of class 2-C for condemning Mimori for something beyond his control, the fact that goddess Vicius herself "gifted" him with skills and stats that she considers sub-par, so she could dispose of him, as an example of what happens when you fail to please her. Vicius renders her unconscious as a direct result.
• Stupid Good: After being abandoned by Yasu and Oyamada to die, not to mention all the other crap they put her through, both in Japan and in Alion, she still asks Vicius to heal them up. Unless Ayaka is planning on using those two as bait for monsters later, this is monumentally stupid of her, and maybe even then, it still is.
  • She thinks Alion's 13 cavalries are good people just because they donate to orphanages every once in a while.
  • She accepts her teacher's admission of being an ephebophile who became a teacher just so he can target teenage girls as fact, despite the fact that he's clearly been beaten into "confessing" and accepts his promise that he'd reform when they all make it back to Earth at face value.
• Took a Level in Dumbass: It's gradual, but she steadily loses IQ points every appearance. Most of it was due to situations beyond her control, such as her classmates being held hostage, but a lot of it comes from her Stupid Good Black-and-White Insanity. By the time chapter 318 rolls around, she has taken to believing what Vicius tells her at face value, such as Mira's emperor being a complete lunatic that only cares about his own generation, wants to take over the world, and would sacrifice the ability to fight future Roots of Evil for his own agency, the 13 cavalries and Yasu where brutally executed after they surrendered, and Heroic Sword are all good people. Then, "so only her hands are stained by fighting humans" she leaves the rest of her team behind and goes off to join up with the troops that are going off against Mira, to protect Vicius, who she should know wants her dead and should suspect has no intention of sending her or class 2-C home.

Oyamada Shogo

GO die already and stop being a hindrance, Touka-"senpai"

• Abomination Accusation Attack: Accuses Mimori of feeling up Ayaka when he goes to check on her after Vicius renders her unconscious.
• Ambition Is Evil: As is outlined in chapter 300, from his own POV, there is absolutely nothing he wouldn't do, no matter how vile, to "get higher in life." In fact, he preferred the vile methods.
• Attempted Rape: In chapter 299, he uses a VIP hostage to draw Seras out of hiding, beats down Slei who was protecting her, commands her to disrobe, and makes crystal clear his intention to not only rape her until he gets tired of it, but drag her around the planet, passing her around to be raped by others. Touka is most decidedly not pleased when he comes upon the scene.
• Berserk Button: While he's always prone to anger, there are several things that guarantee he will flip his shit.
  • He loathes being bossed around. If he doesn't see any benefit to himself to obey the orders given, and/or he doesn't think the other guy is worthy of giving him orders, he will fly into an uncontrolled tantrum with paragraph long rants, and attempt violence.
  • He will absolutely brutalize anyone who calls him out on his villainy or dares to tell him his despicable acts are despicable, the very first chance he gets.
  • If he decides to make a woman his unwilling sex toy, and she objects in any way, especially by crying, he will go completely apoplectic and becomes far, far more eager to rape her to death.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: For a while, Vicius magically compels his loyalty and absolute devotion by brainwashing him into thinking he's not only her son, but her lover, and this made him even more unstable. He does manage to break free of the brainwashing in chapter 297, thanks to an accidental injury, but then decides that he actively likes being Vicius's puppet, because he "can get higher in life" that way than simply being a "hero" she summoned.
• Broken Ace: He's listed as one of the best students in terms of both academics and athletics, but he's a horrid bully who beats up on any classmate he can get away with.
• The Bully: Loves to beat up on people in class 2-C and the homeroom teacher Zakorogi Tamotsu lets him, telling the victims "just don't commit suicide on my watch."
• Death by Irony: Invoked. After Touka finishes questioning him, with Seras doing her truth detection, Touka takes into mind the fact that this scum is quick to anger and prone to violence to decide the punishment, Paralyze+Berserk. Oyamada winds up dying to his very own violent nature and high-level strength, spraying blood everywhere.
• Dirty Coward: He's fond of pushing people around, but when he finds himself in trouble, he's quick to have a breakdown, panic, and attempt to flee, caring not a whit about any allies.
• Drunk On Power: As odious as he was on Earth, his new powers and abilities granted by Vicius have made him considerably worse in this new world. He near constantly toots his own horn and throws his weight around.
• For the Evulz: He joins criminal gangs, serial rapes women by using date-rape drugs, and goes around beating up people weaker than himself, just because he's bored.
• Gut Feeling: Without any hard evidence, he bails on his favorite criminal gang when its boss, Minagi, one day turns up missing. Turns out Minagi had one "consensual party" too many and messed with a bigger and meaner criminal group than himself. Not only did the top execs get their teeth smashed out, but their balls were removed, and all that was distributed to the rest of the gang, and to add insult to injury and injury to insult, all the remaining members were rounded up in police raids, expecially the delinquent minors. Oyamada himself escaping by the skin of his teeth and his own parents' connections.
• He-Man Woman Hater: He is utterly convinced that women's only purpose in life is to be a sex toy, period, consent is a formality, at best. Women are utterly not to be trusted, and their only merit is in their looks. To him, every woman is an unabashed harlot who has her price, and if she disagrees, she needs to be raped into realizing she's wrong.
• Heroic Build: Though he's only a "hero" because Vicius says so, he's described as being well-toned and excellent at athletics.
• I Surrender, Suckers: Attempted but averted. When he realizes Touka is not screwing around and intends to kill him for what he's done to Seras and Slei, he takes on an apologetic tone, fakes repentance, and begs forgiveness. Unfortunately for him, Seras is there and tells Touka that it's all a lie. At this point, he drops the charade and goes into a multiple paragraphs' long rant, calling Seras evey female-specific insult in the book, and adding a few more for good measure, and decries Touka as "some mob character nobody that has no right to judge the great and mighty him."
• "Just Joking" Justification: When he's instructed by both Mimori and Kirahara to return Ayaka's manga to her on the bus, and Ayaka glares at him because he tormented her, he retorts that it was a harmless "joke" and expects her to accept his insincere apology at face value, resenting the fact that she doesn't just smile and forgive him out of hand.
• Karma Houdini Warranty: He managed to escape going down with Minagi's criminal group by the skin of his teeth, was allowed to bully his classmates thanks to an Apathetic Teacher, and survived a clash with one of the Great Demon Emperor's generals by running away, but Vicius tortured and brainwashed him into a mom-con who sees her as "mom", before sending him off to attack Mira, where he collides with Seras, Touka, and the rest of the Fly King Squadron, where his fate is decidedly not kind.
• No Body Left Behind: After confirming his death, Touka uses [Freeze] to eliminate the corpse, leaving no evidence.
• Psychological Projection: When Touka checks on an unconscious Ayaka, Oyamada accuses him of trying to feel her up. Oyamada is a He-Man Woman Hater Serial Rapist who sees nothing wrong with what he does.
• Recognition Failure: When Touka catches him in the act of brutalizing Slei and trying to rape Seras, Touka calls out to him while using [Paralyze] to make him stop. Touka then takes him somewhere quiet to interrogate, and doesn't bother to disguise his voice or mannerisms in any way. It takes so long for Oyamada to catch on, that Touka loses his patience and removes his Fly King mask, and only then does it fully register why the Fly King is glaring at him.
• Serial Rapist: Chapter 300 reveals that when he was in Junior High (if not younger) he joined a criminal group "The Anti-Social Group", and one of their favorite activities was to slip date-rape drugs into drinks of women hanging out in bars and night-clubs and then "consensually" have sex with said women, but the group had many law and med students who would give said women a choice, either accept a fist-full of hush money, or "foolishly" go forward with a law-suit and criminal charges, only to face gaslighting and harassment until they went away, too scared to trust their own judgement. Oyamada reminsces fondly about actively participating in these "consensual parties."
• The Sociopath: He pretty much ticks off the checklist. He's got no empathy for others. Cares only about his own advancement and entertainment. Actively enjoys hurting others. And is completely bored and listless unless he finds someone to victimize.
• Spoiled Brat: His own backstory, as listed in chapter 300, indicates he had very wealthy, influential, and neglectful parents who would give him whatever he wanted, just for the asking, if he made the tiniest pretense of being a good and obedient child, which led to him growing jaded and bored, happily turning to crime and other despicable behavior for thrills and fulfillment.
• Too Dumb to Live: As a result of Do Not Taunt Cthulhu. Yells at and spits on a self-proclaimed goddess who not only has the power to summon him across dimensions, but demonstrates that she's very dangerous by vaporizing a giant wolf-monster to which she just had a chained up man fed, and keeps going when she smacks him down, until Kirahira tells him to stop.
• Uncertain Doom: After panicking when he finds himself overwhelmed by a Zerg Rush of monsters, he flees the battle-field, and his current fate is unknown, with neither hide nor hair of him found... He's found alive, but the psychotic break was so profound that he stopped being "Oyamada" and became someone else entirely.
• Virtue Is Weakness: He genuinely believes that anyone who gives people second chances, forgiveness, or shows empathy is a total moron.
• Wrong Assumption: When he hears Touka mention the word "forgive", he presumes that Touka is as Stupid Good as Ayaka and can be fooled into releasing him and giving him a second chance if he fakes repentance. He fails to realize that's not the way Touka rolls, and the fact that Touka let himself be identified meant Oyamada wasn't going to be leaving the interrogation alive, until Touka himself spells it out.

Takaro Sisters, Hijiri and Itsuki

Sorry, Mimori, there's nothing we can do for you.

• Adaptational Villainy: Although their words and actions between the light novel and manga are identical, the context is very different. In the light novel, they left the room in disgust after apologizing to Mimori for not being able to help him when Vicius decided to "dispose of him". Thus their "Let's go Aneki" and "It's worthless" speech was directed at the rest of the class's scummy actions, not at Mimori. In the manga, it looks like they're also condemning him.
• Bait-and-Switch Lesbians: Hijiri seemingly makes a Love Confession to Ayaka, then reveals it was a ploy to mslead anyone spying on them.
• Break the Cutie: Vicius really put them through hell at the end of volume 8, with Hijiri mortally poisoned with a slow-acting and incredibly painful neurotoxin. Fortunately, moments before the light in Hijiri's eyes goes out completely and irreversibly, along comes Eve Speed who takes them to Erika.
• Cloud Cuckoolander: They're both rather odd.
• The Dividual: They are always seen together.
• Everyone Has Standards: In the original novel, they were disgusted with the rest of the class, and Vicius, for literally treating Mimori like trash, but were powerless to do anything aside from leaving the room in disgust.
• I Work Alone: They go off on their own and avoid their classmates and Vicius as much as possible.
• Lovely Angels: Often working together, and only with each other. In-Universe, they're also noted for being beautiful and aloof sisters.
• Mysterious Past: Touka is certain that no one, not even him, hates Kirihara as much as Itsuki.
• Shock and Awe: One of them is given expertise over lightning based attacks.
• Sword and Sorcerer: Hijiri specializes in the sword while Itsuki specializes in magic.

Kirihara Takuto

Witness my "heroic" power you golden-eyed monster scum! DRAGON BUSTER BLAST!

The most popular boy in class 2-C.

---

• Appeal to Force: Once he realized that he completely lost the rational argument that it's "slander" to accuse him of being a Glory Hound that tried to straight up murder Ayaka purely to soothe his bruised ego, he whips out and starts charging his [Dragon Buster Blast] skill, stating that if he seriously wanted to kill Ayaka, he would have attacked with it.
• Appeal to Popularity: As part of his "logical" rebuttal to the accusation that he was caught red handed trying to strike down Ayaka with a sword, and why he believes it's ok to sacrifice the weak to protect the strong, he cites a self-proclaimed economist as a reliable authority because the guy has a YouTube video with 200,000 likes. To the surprise of no one but himself, this doesn't help his case.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: His moral compass makes sense to him and him alone.
• Changed My Mind, Kid: A rare villainous example. Just before he and the Great Demon Emperor wage a full-scale assault on Alion, he comes to the conclusion that his "manifest destiny" is not in the new world, but on Earth, and setting up a kingdom in the new world would mean fleeing from his predestined future. So, with a smile on his face, and not a trace of malice in his heart, he backstabs the eldritch entity, cuts it to pieces, and takes its heart, along with the gold-eyed army, back to Alion to try and force Vicius to send him back to Earth, as the king he thinks he deserves to be.
• Chick Magnet: He is very popular with the girls of class 2-C, with a few rare exceptions.
• Crippling Overspecialization: He's a one-trick pony with his beam of light attack. He relies entirely on lining things up "just right" to make the most of it, and kill-stealing, to advance. When he is mobbed by a Zerg Rush in chapter 181, he shows his true colors, screaming and running for the hills.
• Drunk On Power: The abilities and special skill Vicius gave him went straight to his head, and the more levels he gets, both in total, and in his Wave-Motion Gun, the more insufferable he gets. The constant fangirling he gets from the majority of girls in 2-C and the world does not help matters, in the slightest.
• Entitled to Have You: He honestly believes that Seras is just out there waiting for him to swoop in on his white horse and carry her off to the wedding chapel, and the fact that she's travelling with Touka instead means he must have used some underhanded tactic to trick her. Even Vicius is taken aback by such a self-serving and irrational mindset.
• Feeling Oppressed by Their Existence: In chapter 317, he and Vicius have a "chat," most of which involves him getting slammed into boulders until they crack to try and shatter his delusions of grandeur, but he's so stubborn and deluded that this doesn't work. Even threats of torture and his death do nothing to sway him from thinking he's superior in all ways to Vicius herself. But when Vicius reveals that she deduced Mimori Touka is alive and travelling with Seras, Kirihara's composure finally shatters and he goes This Is Unforgivable! that a "nobody" dares to try and thwart his "kingly destiny." At this point, he marches on Mira to face Touka directly.
• Glory Hound: He absolutely has to be the #1 "hero" of the class. When he learns Ayaka managed to defeat one of the demon king's top generals in single combat and came back with level 499, he swung a sword at her, trying to kill her!
• Glory Seeker: The primary reason he kill steals is that he's only concerned with the glory of having the highest kill count, even demanding from Vicius to be sent into the heart of an enemy army so he can kill as much as possible. He is completely addicted to the "oooh" and "ahh" reactions he gets from his many fangirls, and becomes completely apathetic during times that there are no monsters to fight.
• A God Am I: In chapter 324, he sends a letter to Emperor Zine that dictates he's basically a god, and Vicius is nothing before him. The entire government of Mira considers him clinically insane as a result.
• Hated by All: Nobody can stand him, at all. The gold-eyed monsters turn to Vicius for help dealing with him, and even Ayaka finally has enough when she learns what a murder-happy loon he is and heads after him to beat the ever loving shit out of him, though killing him is still a bridge too far in her mind.
• Heroic Wannabe: Flaunts his Wave-Motion Gun attack and kill stealing as "heroic" feats and boasts of his greatness, ignoring the consequences.
• Ignorant of His Own Ignorance: His first kill resulted in raising his level to 10, and Vicius' entire retinue threw a party, swelling his already bloated ego to unbelievable proportions. The results of Mimori's first kill? Level 282!
• Insane Troll Logic: He goes through so many mental gymnastics to justify siding with the Great Demon Emperor "to prove his kingly value" that even the eldritch horror can't make sense of it.
• I Reject Your Reality: He is a true "king" and the inevitable best "hero" in class 2-C, no exceptions or objections tolerated. He will quickly resort to lethal force to support this claim.
• It's All About Me: While in dialogue with the Great Demon Emperor in the latter's territory, he tells the eldritch horror that it's okay to spare the country he decides to rule only until his own death because a world not being led by his "unmatched king vessel" is doomed to fall apart anyway.
• "Just Joking" Justification: After swinging a sword at Ayaka's head, after hearing how Ayaka managed to surpass him, he rebukes Hijiri's assertion that he just attempted to murder Ayaka to soothe his ego by stating that he wasn't serious and it was just a surprise test. The only person he fooled with this assertion is himself.
• Kill Steal: As if Ayaka's role as Class Representative wasn't already harsh enough, he keeps her from advancing in level and earning her special ability, by swooping in and killing the monster she's fighting, just before she gets to land the final blow, thus stealing the exp gain she needs. The only reason Ayaka works with him is that Vicius forces her to.
• Light Is Not Good: His special ability is a powerful beam of light, and he's an extremely obnoxious clod who actively sabotages Ayaka with kill-stealing, making her job much harder than it has to be.
• Marionette Master: After backstabbing the Great Demon Emperor, he uses the secondary aspect of his golden-dragon ability to take control and command the Gold Eyed Monster army.
• Morality Chain: Though the bar is set pretty low, he's the only one who can keep Oyamada from "going too far" and is the only one Oyamada ever listens to.
• Moral Sociopathy: Chapter 301 reveals that he genuinely believes he's an upright and moral person, but he's completely delusional, to the point of Blue-and-Orange Morality. Despite having no killing intent, and actually liking the Great Demon Emperor, he backstabs and kills the eldritch entity without a second thought, and seizes control of the gold-eyed demon army, on the pretext that he needs to return to Earth to prove how "kingly" he is, as setting up a kingdom in the new world alone would be "cowardly."
• Narcissist: He genuinely believes that the world should revolve around him, and he deserves the praise of the masses 24/7. He is willing to let the Great Demon Emperor destroy all of the world except two countries, the one he rules, and one other, just so there are "enemies" to marvel at his kingly vessel. The moment he dies, it's okay for the GDE to finish the job and render all other life on the planet extinct.
• Never My Fault: After he came after Ayaka with a sword while she was still reeling from the rebound of her skill, his attack blocked by Hijiri, he tries to claim that had Ayaka died to an attack of that degree, it was her own fault for being "weak."
• Nothing Personal: As he's backstabbing and killing the Great Demon Emperor, he proudly admits that he actually likes the eldritch entity, and that it's regrettable, but his manifest destiny requires the creature be killed.
• Original Position Fallacy: Discussed. Hijiri believes this clown is very, very eager to advocate sacrificing "weak" students to prioritize giving resources to "the strong" because he believes he will always be the "strong" and never has to worry about being the one considered "weak" and having to face being sacrificed.
• Slobs vs. Snobs: In addition to all his other character failings, he's a complete and utter elitist. In chapter 320, he slaughters the entirety of the White Wolf Knights of Magnar, after killing the king himself, because the guy didn't just give up his throne on command, and then shoos off Nyantan Kikipat with disgust as beneath him because "she came from poverty." In addition, he sees all the women of high-standing like the twin daughters of Magnar's king as rightfully his because of his "manifest destiny" demanding the best of the best.
• Psychological Projection: He loves to accuse others of being "weak" by saying they have his flaws while thinking himself innocent of them. He accuses Touka of being a "know-nothing-know-it-all" when he is himself living in a selfish delusion. He accuses Touka of being Driven by Envy when he's the one who repeatedly tried to murder Ayaka for daring to outshine him and gets enraged to the point where he can't think straight when Touka calls him out on it. He accuses Touka of being a weak coward because he lets Seras fight for him when he is hiding behind Vicius's skirt by borrowing the power of her [Dispel Bubble] ability to shield himself from Touka's attacks.
• Social Darwinist: He deludes himself into thinking the "weak" are just parasites dragging "the strong" down and have no right to exist. Which is why he's so irrationally enraged that Touka survived disposal ruins that he can't even bring himself to write the guy's name in a letter regarding him.
• Straw Hypocrite: He angrily decries Touka for supposedly using a cowardly trick to defeat Civit Garland when he's the one who gained his current standing by kill-stealing from Ayaka, attacked Ayaka from behind while she was fighting the Great Demon Emperor, spent months leveling up by sucking up to it, and ultimately stabbed it in the back after gaining its trust instead of fighting fairly.
• The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: He is so convinced that he is the only one allowed to defeat the Great Demon Emperor that when Ayaka fights and corners the horror and is about to land the final blow, after he was swat away like a fly, he attacks Ayaka from behind and then sides with the emperor himself.
• Tempting Fate: When the Great Demon Emperor teleports into Alion, right in front of him, he boasts that all he can see is his own victory. The Great Demon Emperor swats him away as easily as a fly in response.
• Unskilled, but Strong: Seras is able to fight him to a standstill, to the point where he actually has to break a sweat and gets worn down, despite his much higher stats and level, because he's just accustomed to bulldozing past any opposition, or kill-stealing. He has no actual skill or technique, despite his self-serving delusions.
• The Victim Must Be Confused: He honestly believes that the only possible reason that Seras would be with Mimori is that the latter somehow brainwashed her and it's his job to come to her rescue, leaving Seras, who can tell the truth or lies in spoken words, utterly shaken.
• You Can't Fight Fate: It doesn't matter how many times he gets smacked down or smacked around. He's a "kingly vessel" and whatever he does or happens to him is the direct result of "a manifest destiny" or "an act of fate" that's completely beyond his control. Even Vicius decries him for this mindset going "Isn't time for you to grow up and act like an adult already?!"

Zakorogi Tamotsu

The homeroom teacher of class 2-C.

---

• All Men Are Perverts: What does he do when Vicius kidnaps the class and summons them to the new world? He stares at Vicius' breasts during the entire encounter!
• Apathetic Teacher: How apathetic? Oyamada kicks the chair of Yasu Tomohiro and starts brutalizing him? "Hey, Yasu! If you're going to be Driven to Suicide, I'd appreciate it if you didn't trouble me, and you would go die when I'm not in charge!"
• Break the Haughty: Chapter 318 reveals that he's been relegated to the kitchens of Alion's castle, for fear of being summarily disposed of as well, and has been beaten into confessing that he's an epebophile who only became a teacher so he can target high-school girls, and even if he had been caught in the act could easily avoid punishment.
• Harem Seeker: Implied. Mimori points out that he's guilty of extreme favoritism towards the physically attractive students of his class, regardless of gender, surrounding himself with the most beautiful students, and ignoring the rest, at best.
• Never My Fault: What does he say when Ayaka calls him out on cheering when Vicius proclaims her intent to dispose of Mimori, rather than stepping forward to protect the students, as is his job as a school teacher? "There's nothing I can do."

Yasu Tomohiro

I (Waga) am the A-ranked hero chosen by Vicius. You louts should try harder to keep up, and be grateful waga let you be in my entourage, now cover my "strategic retreat" and don't let those gold-eyed monsters near me!!

The student bullied by Oyamada.

---

• Accidental Hero: He does manage to save Ayaka's life, but that was not his intent. He was trying to kill-steal and openly turns around to mock her because he did so. Then the monster he thought he killed got back up and sliced off some of his fingers. Cue a panic attack disguised as a "tactical retreat".
• Break the Haughty: Ooh boy. He does his usual flexing when he's sent to Far Away country with Alion's Sixth Cavalry, even threatening the troops with his goddess given skill. The next morning, he wakes up with an iron mask on his face so he can't use his magic abilities and then is put through horrifying Cold-Blooded Torture on a repeated basis, permanently driving his "heroic" delusions out of his head.
• Bad Boss: The most benevolent thing he's done to the classmates Vicius assigned to him is forcing them to keep up with him when they're on foot while he's on horseback, and yelling at them when they fail to do so.
• Dark Is Evil: He is granted "darkness" powers by goddess Vicius, and is an arrogant, ungrateful prick who gloats when Mimori, the one guy who would help him, is in clear distress.
• Drunk On Power: The moment he realizes he's an A-rank, like Oyamada, he begins to flaunt it over everyone, even challenging Oyamada directly. The only reason the two don't come to blows is that Vicius threatens both of them with "disposal."
• Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Charitably. In a flashback, Mimori chances upon him after Oyamada has so brutalized him that he needs immediate medical assistance. He responds to Mimori taking him to the infirmary and asking for help from the teachers with unbridled rage, angrily declaring that Mimori has no right to "look down on him."
• Entertainingly Wrong: When placed in charge of Alion's sixth cavalry by Vicius, he can only see the actual commander John Doe as someone who was placed in the position only because he's the son of some unnamed noble, not by merit, and the rest of the cavalry bows to John Doe for fear of said noble, not because John Doe has earned their respect by merit. The possibility that John Doe is hiding his strength never crosses his mind.
• Extreme Doormat: Constantly the target of Oyamada's rage and bullying, and none of the teachers care.
• I Reject Your Reality: He is so entitled and delusional that after he fled the battle, severed fingers in hand, he uses "waga" (a term reserved for royalty) regarding himself, and still calls himself a fearless hero. He even roasted and ate his horse and started screeching at the soldiers who found him about how Vicius would praise his "accomplishment" of coming back alive.
• It's All About Me: He honestly believes that his "heroic" duty and fame mandates that anyone and everyone is supposed to be honored to have the chance to serve and protect him. When he comes under attack from a monster he foolishly thought he already finished off, he rides away on his steed, screaming at the classmates he was leading that they should be honored to cover his escape.
• Miles Gloriosus: Because Vicius called him an "A rank", he's fond of boasting and preening like he's a peerless martial and magical talent. The moment he faces even the tiniest injury, like having his fingers sliced by Razor Floss, he panics, screams for healing, and runs for the hills.
• Misery Builds Character: The horrors he faced at the hands of Sixth Cavalry did wonders to make him a better person.
• No Place for Me There: He turns down sanctuary in Faraway Country, realizing he's done way, way too much unforgiveable stuff and wanders off, looking to find a place where he can actually fit in and his past won't come back to bite him.
• Smug Snake: He's always had a superiority complex; he's just been cowed by Oyamada's violence. The moment Vicius labels him an A-rank, he lords it over everyone.
• Surrounded by Idiots: We see his point of view in chapter 287. He has deluded himself into thinking that he's an unparalleled genius and everyone around him is a total moron, which irritates him.
• Sympathy for the Devil: When he and Touka (in disguise) reunite, he is such a broken, bloody mess that Touka just can't bring himself to have any resentment for the fact that this guy gloated as Vicius was sending him to Disposal Ruins Dungeon. Even the people of Far Away Country felt pity for him, despite the fact that he came from Alion.
• Troubled Abuser: In chapter 287, his internal monologue reveals that Oyamada isn't the only oaf to abuse and bully him back on Earth, so he came to the conclusion that there are only two kinds of people in existence, the abusers and the abused. Now that he's one of Vicius's "heroes," he relishes being the "abuser" in the equation.
• Uncertain Doom: He is last seen fleeing from a wave of monsters in a panic and on horseback. His current fate is unknown and nobody has seen him since the battle... He is eventually found several days after the battle, having apparently eaten his horse, completely delusional.
• Ungrateful Bastard: How does he respond to Mimori helping him when he's badly injured by Oyamada's bullying? Rage! When Mimori's the one in need of help, he gloats!
• You Are What You Hate: He hates Oyamada for bullying him, but the moment he gets a chance he happily does the same to anyone he has the chance to.

Kashiba Kobato

Vicius is planning on disposing of us D-rankers too, isn't she?

A D-rank classmate.

---

• Cowardly Lion: She may be a self-professed coward, but among the D-rankers, she's the only one who does anything aside from simply cowering behind a shield, even delivering the finishing blow, when prompted, to a monster weakened by Ayaka, so she can advance.
• D-Cup Distress: She hates her large, and still growing, breasts. Ever since they started coming in during early junior high, she's received nothing but leers from most of the boys, and derision from most of the girls. Having a Shrinking Violet personality, they've brought her nothing but grief.
• Girlish Pigtails: Wears her hair like this and has the innocence, if not the childish joy, of the trope.
• Hero-Worshipper: She admires and near idolizes Ayaka.
• Kind Hearted Cat Lover: Out of all the classmates, save Mimori, she's the only one who thought to tend to a stray cat she found on campus with a broken leg. The rest pointed and laughed at the poor animal, uploading videos to the internet to mock at their leisure.
• Lovable Coward: She's a coward, she knows it, she admits it, and she hates that about herself.
• Properly Paranoid: She's terrified that Vicius is itching to dispose of D-ranked students too, as Mimori warned the class. Just so happens, she's correct, but is unaware of it because of Ayaka's efforts, at least until chapter 84, when it's revealed that Vicius told all the D-rankers that she hasn't disposed of them only as a favor to Ayaka.
• Samaritan Relationship Starter: She began to have nice thoughts about Mimori because he's the only one in class 2-C who would help her deal with a wounded cat she found. After taking the poor animal to the vet, it got the care it needs, and she adopted the little fur-ball, after it made a full recovery, happy and healthy in her home.
• Shrinking Violet: She is especially shy and timid. Being dragged into this alien war is not good for her well-being, at all. Seeing Mimori disposed of, and being helpless to do anything about it, has not helped.

Ikusaba Asagi

It would be best if we combine our efforts, right Sogou? Quit angsting over Touka already!

One of the four faction leaders. Rules over most of the girls of class 2-C.

---

• The Cynic: She minces no words about how crapsack the setting is and how little faith she has in "the benevolent goddess" Vicius.
• Manipulative Bitch: She put her group together by grasping the character weaknesses in all the members and exploiting them.
• An Offer You Can't Refuse: Members she didn't gain by exploiting their weaknesses were recruited when she pointed out that she's their best hope of survival, since Sogou's overworked, and the other S-ranked, A-ranked, and B-ranked are worse.
• Murder by Suicide: Asagi stated that she manipulated her real father to commit suicide, by his own hands, in a way that cannot be linked to her, and that thanks to that, she was able to protect her mother; hinting that he was a trash father for Asagi, making abusive-like home.
• Shadow Archetype: She is Touka's dark mirror. Both have at least one abusive parent who put them through hell, and have had to become master actors to hide their deep seated fears and psychological problems, due to Japan's culture of treating any and all mental illness not as an illness, but as a moral failing. Touka, however, was adopted by a loving aunt and uncle who treated him with genuine kindness while Asagi remained stuck with her mother, who apparently did nothing while she was abused. Both of them were treated with contempt by most of the leaders of their class, and Vicius, but while Touka was disposed of in the Disposal Ruins, she managed to escape immediate disposal, gathered for herself a clique and curried favor with Emperor Zine of Mira. Both of them want revenge against Vicius, but Asagi is a lot less picky about her methods.
• Willfully Weak: She deliberately keeps her stats low to make best use of her [Queen Bee] ability. One of her buffs/debuffs allows her to have her target's stats match hers. So when she uses this ability on the exiled previous emperor of Mira, Zera, now serving Vicius, she transforms him from a walking, talking APC to a regular joe, and then slaps him with a weakening de-buff ontop of that. Allowing the rest of her group to just summarily beat him to death.

The country of Alion:

Nyantan Keekipat

Vicius: This is but a small ritual, really. I'm sure your sister and her village are quite safe under my "protection."

Vicius' enforcer and top acolyte.

---

• The Bet: When Oyamada started to sexually harass her, she bet that if the class could beat her in a spar, she'd be his slave for a week. It was a Curbstomp Battle in her favor. Oyamada got the message and left her alone from that point on.
• Cat Girl: Has a cat's tail, claws, and ears.
• Hostage Situation: From her POV chapter, it's shown that Vicius is "protecting" her younger sisters, in exchange for her loyalty. Said loyalty involves literally licking Vicius' feet.
• Mentor Archetype: One of her duties is training class 2-C for dealing with the monster and demon king threat.
• Obfuscating Stupidity: Her POV chapters show that she's actually highly intelligent and competent, but she hates working for Vicius. Since Vicius cares not a whit about intelligence, just strength, utility, and obedience, Nyantan acts like a goofy ditz around Vicius as much as she can get away with. She frequently "forgets" important orders or messages, and often acts with malicious compliance, doing exactly what she's told, but not in the manner she's told to do it, hoping that the opposite of the intended order comes to pass.
• One Degree of Separation: She's Nyaki's older step-sister.
• Sex Slave: Implied. Vicius does things that are very sexually suggestive to her when the two are alone, and makes clear that refusal is not an option.

Heroic Sword

A party of human supremacists that Touka and Seras encounter just outside the sacred ruins where a weapon to defeat the demon king might be found.

---

Common to all:

• Asshole Victim: They are so repulsive, self-righteous, and fond of Playing the Victim Card that seeing Touka catch up to them and giving them graphic deaths is immensely satisfying.
• Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad: They willingly became psychotic because they see all demi-humans, elves, etc. as "fake humans" that are an unimaginable threat that they can't put into words, even looking at the destruction of Eve's tribe as a glorious past to be proud of and see any human who thinks differently as a total madman.
• Bond Villain Stupidity: When Toad and Bardwitcher fail to return after being sent out to find Nyaki, they split what remains of their party in half and send three or four of their members into the forest while keeping the rest at the ruined location that serves as their temporary camp. While this does have some merit, the reason they're concerned about their two scouts' failure to return is that there are dangerous monsters in the area, and splitting their party in half only serves to increase the danger.
• Condescending Compassion: They view themselves as "naive" and regret showing Nyaki the "mercy" of not gouging out her eyes to keep her from running away from their life-threatening abuse.
• Did Not Think This Through: They beat up on Nyaki so hard, they could have killed her, even though that would piss off Vicius.
• Enfante Terrible: When they were all small children, they completely genocided Eve's clan, for no discernable reason, and in the present day, boast about it to showcase how strong they are.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: They are truly devoted to one another, on the surface, and if one of them is struck down, the rest will hold a funeral, with a great deal of mourning. Later subverted when it's revealed that they will sell each other out in a heart-beat if it means prolonging their own lives.
• Fantastic Racism: If you're not human, they will treat you as a beast of burden, at best, as Nyaki can testify.
• Feeling Oppressed by Their Existence: They view everyone that is not 100% human as a "fake human" that is a terrible threat to humanity, for simply existing, and saw the Speed Tribe as "sick in the head" because they wanted to live in peace and be left alone.
• For the Evulz: Thanks to their leader Ruin Blade, they went and attacked the Speed tribe, not for racism or hatred, but for fun and they think that it's something to be proud of.
• Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: True, Vicius may have raised them to be racists who fear and hate all demi-humans, but they've seen demi-humans at work under Vicius, and the self-proclaimed goddess never taught them to go out and kill for fun. That's something they came up with themselves.
• Hate Sink: There is no redeeming feature to these scoundrels. Even their so-called camraderie is simply banding together purely for the purpose of finding new and sadistic ways to kill people they don't agree with and rationalize it in their own head that it's okay because their targets were either "fake humans" or "evil heretics" who refuse to "open their eyes at how threatening the fake humans are". The only benefit they bring to the story is seeing how Touka is going to sadistically kill them.
• A Hero to His Hometown: The reason they're called [Heroic Sword] is that Alion does consider them "heroes" by order of Vicius.
• Dirty Coward: While they love to boast about how "heroic" they see themselves, when push comes to shove, they will happily throw each other under the bus if they think it will spare their lives.
• Moral Myopia: There is absolutely no way to come to any kind of understanding with these yahoos. If they attack you, and you fight back, even by standards they consider "justice", then you are an irredeemably evil genocidal threat and must be exterminated. If you try to run, then you are nothing more than a disgusting coward who has to be hunted down and killed in the most For the Evulz way possible. If you try to talk things out peacefully, then you are incurably insane and have to be wiped out to keep the "evil ideals" from spreading, or who knows what catastrophe will happen.
• Never My Fault: They push the responsibility for all their failures and shortcomings onto Nyaki, even blaming her for the death of their party member who was set upon by a contingent of knights, after they sent him to scout, and Nyaki couldn't possibly have had anything to do with it.
• Playing the Victim Card: When they find themselves on the losing end of the fight, they cry, whine, and whimper that they're the helpless, innocent victims.
• Reality Is Unrealistic: These clowns may look like one-dimensional, two-bit villains, and maybe they are, but fanatical racists do in fact think and act like this, regardless of which stripe they wear, from a dirty-white bedsheets to a bent crosses. Fanatic racists view the targets of their paranoia as the spawn of pure evil. They see peaceful coexistence as a terrifying prospect, hatred and sociopathic sadism as a virtue, and anyone of their own race who doesn't agree is either a traitor or a madman. And yes, they view sadistic acts of genoicide fondly, as something to be proud of for participating.
• Secret Test of Character: Which they all failed, miserably. Touka cornered, paralyzed, and poisoned them, promising to spare the first to give him the intel he wants. In seconds, they began fighting among themselves and interrupting each other, trying to see who could reveal the most secrets. Then when he asked them about the Speed tribe, suddenly they were all buddy-buddy again and boasted, in graphic detail which goes unrevealed to the reader how they tortured the tribe to death for fun, expecting Touka to sympathize. They refused to stop bragging until Touka yelled a Big "SHUT UP!" and then started killing them.
• Stupid Evil: Treating Nyaki, a small child, like a pack mule, getting violent with her when she trips because the luggage is too heavy for her, and using a blow that could have killed her when that would result in pissing off an evil goddess that has no issue giving gruesome deaths to anyone who slights her? OY! Then there's the fact that they bragged they were going to kill her the moment she got them into the Forbidden Country, when they though she would be of no further use... while she's still Vicius's property!
• Suicidal Overconfidence: They prance around as if they're invincible. Sure, they're tough, but they're not invincible, as they're introduced with one of their own getting struck down by a squad of knights from Miam.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: In yet another manner that Vicius' own teachings turn around to bite her, these louts could not wrap their heads around the fact that Nyaki is already a "useful tool" as Vicius' property and even though Ruin himself states that they need her alive and well to find Faraway Country, so they can engage in their favorite pass-time (genocide) on the very mission Vicius herself put them on, they clenched their teeth, tried and failed to rein in their hatred, so would "educate" Nyaki with violence every chance they got, then had the gall to look at it as a "betrayal" when she fled, for fear of her life.
• Wants a Prize for Basic Decency: They honestly believe that Nyaki should look on them with admiration for the fact that they didn't gouge her eyes out, bust her eardrums, and chop off her cat-ears the moment Vicius handed her to them because she's necessary for them to enter Faraway Country, and look at the fact that she fled after they kicked her so hard she went flying and nearly died as a "betrayal" from an ungrateful "fake human" who didn't appreciate Ruin's "education to be a useful tool." Said "education" of course involved frequent beatings without explanation.
• Why Did You Make Me Hit You?: Whenever they abused Nyaki, they would shed Crocodile Tears and act as if their violence is her fault, always making up an excuse.
• Would Hurt a Child: They frequently beat up Nyaki, even kicking her so hard, she flew a great distance and coughed up blood when she smacked into a tree.

Toad:

• Accidental Murder: After he cuts down Bardwitcher, he cries out that it was an accident and he "reflexively" cut the guy's throat.
• Fighting Your Friend: After Touka has crippled him so he can't run away, Bardwitcher is afflicted with [Berserk] and then attacks him.
• "I Know You Are in There Somewhere" Fight: Deconstructed. While defending himself from a [Berserk] afflicted Bardwitcher, he keeps shouting the latter's name and pleading for him to shake off "the evil sorcery." This does not help in any way.
• Off with His Head!: When Touka's tired of trying to make him understand how it feels to be a victim, and how it's in no way something to be proud of in being the victimizer, with Toad absolutely refusing to wrap his head around it, Touka just walks up to him and removes his empty head with a sword.
• Revenge Myopia: Touka subjects him and Bardwitcher to [Paralyze], cripples him and then sets a [Berserk] Bardwitcher loose on him in revenge for the sadistic elimination of the Speed tribe, and Toad screams that he's going to pummel Touka to death in retaliation, honestly believing that [Heroic Sword] has done nothing wrong.
• Sadistic Choice: Subjected to one. He either kills a [Berserk] Bardwitcher, or lets Bardwitcher kill him.
• They Just Dont Get It: As he's being forced to fight Bardwitcher, Touka keeps pointing out to him how this is retaliation for the extermination of the Speed Tribe, and even after Bardwitcher is dead, and Touka asks him "do you understand now, even a little bit, how it feels to have been killed for fun?" the only retort he has is "don't lump 'fake humans' and real humans together, you evil heretic!"

Bardwitcher:

• Brainwashed and Crazy: Under the effect of [Berserk], his eyes turn milky-white and he attacks Toad with lethal force, forcing the latter to fight back until one or both of them are dead.
• Slashed Throat: How he dies.

Ruin Blade:

The leader of the group.

---

• Bad People Abuse Animals: He learned how to be a sadistic sociopath by beating up on harmless animals and friendly "monsters". His favorite game was going around popping slimes like soap-bubbles, so he happily focuses on Piggimaru when he sees the slime in the forest... until he realizes too late that that was not what his [Instinct] was warning him about.
• The Corrupter: The rest of his party were just a bunch of random racists, but he made them sadistically homicidal by teaching them that hatred alone is not enough motivation for genocide, the victims have to be killed for fun.
• Fatal Flaw: His [Instinct] is uncanny in identifying what kind of threat he's facing, without even being able to see what's coming after him, but in order to protect himself effectively, he has to be familiar with the source of the threat. When he's up against a complete unknown, reading something like "if it sees my whole body, I'm dead" doesn't do much except make the paranoia worse.
• Gut Feeling: Bordering on Spider-Sense. He has a near prophetic intuition that has led him and his party through numerous life-threatening crises. This completely fails him when Touka catches up to them and puts them on the receiving end of "fun killings".
• Meaningful Name: His name is Ruin Blade and his blade is directly responsible for the ruin of the Speed tribe.
• Miles Gloriosus: He brags that he can beat Civit in a straight up fight, or at least make it close, but the two have never met, and Civit doesn't even think the guy is worthy of notice.
• Moral Sociopathy: He truly believes he's a good and kind man who wants to make the world a better place and is tolerant of the "fake humans" by "educating them on how to be useful tools" but he's a sadistic racist who sees fanatical hatred as insufficient motivation for genocide and that the only way to get through it is to make the killing as fun as possible, teaching that to everyone who will listen. Later subverted when Touka's got him pinned and he's begging for mercy, revealing that he knew his behavior was terrible all along, but was just pretending to believe he was being benevolent so he could rope in accomplices in his villainy.
• Nothing Is Scarier: Which he learns first hand the moment he hears the insects nearby stop buzzing. Where are the rest of his party members? What happened to them? Why is Satsuki shambling towards us with a blood-soaked katana and attacking us? Who or what is responsible? And why is there a disembodied voice asking us if we're having fun yet?
• Villains Want Mercy: When he's the last surviving member, he promises all sorts of boons to Touka, even demanding he be given the chance to repent for his nastiness. Touka doesn't comply and just slits his throat.
• Wrong Assumption: Invoked. Piggimaru acts as a decoy to draw his party's attention, so he thinks his [Instinct] is warning him that the "mutant" slime is the threat that's been nagging at him, but while he's focusing so he can hurl Satsuki's katana at the friendly slime, Touka suddenly appears behind him and uses [Paralyze]. At this point, Ruin's party is doomed.

Satsuki:

[Heroic Sword]'s second in command.

---

• Brainwashed and Crazy: Touka applies the [Berserk] status on him and sends him to attack the remaining members of [Heroic Sword], blood covered katana in hand.
• Death by Irony: The second after Ruin gives him a mortal wound, the [Berserk] state ends and he returns to normal, just in time to fall over dead at Ruin's feet.
• Number Two: Second in command of the party.
• The Rival: He and Ruin had a friendly rivaly going to make each other stronger.

Yuugungu:

• Ear Ache: He gets one of his ears sliced off by a [Berserk] Satsuki.
• Enemy Mine: He and Myana hate each other, and frequently come close to trading blows. The only thing holding them together is their common racism towards "fake humans." They get in a screaming match after Satsuku's death until Ruin points out they're still in danger, at which point they fist-bump and pawn off their grudge onto Nyaki, who isn't even present.
• Laser-Guided Karma: He was the most vocal about wanting to chop off Nyaki's ears to "instruct" her as to why "fake humans" are hated. His ear winds up getting chopped off.
• What the Hell, Hero?: He immediately turns on Ruin when he sees Satsuki come to his senses after being mortally wounded by Ruin and dying seconds afterward.

Myana:

• Barrier Warrior: Her strongest spell is [Fortress], which produces a powerful sand-storm screen that deflects all physical attacks and blocks line of sight. Unfortunately for the group, it is not a perfect dome, so attacks can get through the cracks.

Arene:

• Berserk Button: Her cooking implements. Despite the fact that Nyaki only tripped and fell because she was overburdened with luggage, Arene beat up the poor girl to "educate" her on why the luggage is so valuable.
• Villainous BSoD: While Yuugungu and Myana were fighting over Satsuki's dead body, after Ruin himself killed the guy, she was curled up in a fetal position. She recovers and starts blaming Nyaki for their troubles when Ruin demands the magical light balls in the luggage be taken out and scattered in the nearby perimeter.

Cora:

• Killed Offscreen: She's the one party member, aside from the scout killed by Mira's knights, that Touka didn't eliminate. She ran into Seras instead, and Seras cut her down with ease.

Sixth Cavalry

John Doe: The commander and self-proclaimed half-brother of Civit Garland.

---

• Blue-and-Orange Morality: He has a moral compass, but it's utterly bizarre. He treasures his subordinates, but would (and did) sacrifice them without a thought. He hates obviously repulsive people, but hates righteous people even more, seeing their righteousness as nothing more than a mask that he has to rip off via torture and torment, and he's completely unfazed at his own impending death, even after all his villainy, until he's informed that all his efforts to match Civit's strength were all utterly meaningless.
• Break the Haughty: His favorite (and perhaps only) pleasure is tormenting and torturing people in order to rip off their mask of righteousness and then kill them or otherwise dispose of them when they're a broken, bloody mess.
• Broken Tears: After a very narrow loss to Touka, he presumes he's finally close to Civit's strength. Touka informing him that Civit is so, so much stronger than himself, even then, that the victory was an incomprehensible fluke, causes John Doe to finally suffer a break-down and cry in regret that he will never be able to match his brother, whom he avoided through obscurity on the very real fear the latter would kill him while looking for a good fight.
• Evil Counterpart: To Touka. The two have very similar abilities and mindsets, but he uses his stealth-based abilities for petty sadism and targets the good and wholesome people, while Touka targets human(oid) filth and protects the innocent.
• His Name Really Is "Barkeep": Yes, his legal name really is John Doe.
• My Greatest Failure: The genocide of Lizbet's tribe, for reasons seen below.
• Not Quite the Right Thing: He deeply regrets being responsible for the genocide of Lizbet's people, not because it was an inherently wrong thing to do, but because "in his impetuous youth," he was far too eager to get it over with and missed out on a golden opportunity to rip off their "righteous mask and expose who they really are" by torturing and tormenting them.
• One Degree of Separation: He's Civit's younger brother, supposedly.
• Psychological Projection: Since he sees Touka as someone who thinks very, very much like himself, he presumed the latter would sacrifice Seras to improve his odds of victory, just like the former sacrificed the entirety of Sixth Cavalry to improve his odds of a successful sneak attack. This proves to be a fatal error.
• Sadist: He lives for the suffering of others, especially the "righteous."
• The Sneaky Guy: Even looking right at him, he can be completely undetectable if he wants to be.
• Wrong Assumption: He thought Seras was Touka's shield when she is his sword. So he ignores Seras to focus on Touka in the final exchange and she cuts him down from behind.

The country of Nea:

King Ortra Straminus

Seras's former King.

---

• Altar Diplomacy: After his nation is invaded by Bakugos, he offers his daughter, the crown princess Cattleya, to Civit Garland in a Bureaucratically Arranged Marriage, to spare the lives of his people. Civit is forced by his government to accept the deal, although the guy isn't interested, only seeing fights to the death as Better than Sex.
• Past Experience Nightmare: Months after Seras fled the kingdom and Bakugos assimilated his lands, ignoring an attack of gold-eyed monsters, he still has nightmares.
• Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Puts out a contract on Seras, which includes her corpse being brought before him "looking pure" so he doesn't have to worry about some other guy defiling her or winning her heart. It is precisely because he puts out this contract on her that she's become a Lust Object with the very same people who are out to kill her trying to rape her, and the fact that she's rescued by Mimori, repeatedly, that Mimori's won her heart.
• Yandere: After putting out the contract on Seras, he kills himself, so they "will be together forever". Cattleya is not amused.

Crown Princess Cattleya

The first daughter of King Ortra.

---

• Awful Wedded Life: Was not happy being married to Civit and is secretly grateful 'someone' killed him.
• The Cake Is a Lie: She's well aware that Vicius can not be trusted, but must take any chance to win her people's freedom.
• The Chains of Commanding: When Vicius promised her country back, in the event she gains better battlefield accomplishments than Bakugos, her conquerors, due to the fact that Bakugos lost their strongest fighter, Civit, she agrees because any hope of her people's freedom and well being is worth the price.
• Fallen Princess: With the conquest of her home country and Bureaucratically Arranged Marriage to Civit, she lost her crown and people.
• A Friend in Need: She helped Seras escape her country's army that was trying to kill her on the orders of her own Yandere father.
• Tough Leader Façade: She's likely a good person, helping Seras escape, despite knowing she would be punished for it, but faces her opposition and detractors with an unflappable queenly dignity and grace.

Divine White Savages Walker

Who is this brat? Who cares! Kill him!

The mercenary group hunting Seras all the way from Neia.

---

• Adaptation Expansion: In the original source, they're only shown going after Mimori and getting killed for their idiocy. In the manga, they get more screen-time and they are shown being able to corner Seras, showing that they are genuinely a serious threat, just not random red-shirts that messed with the wrong guy.
• Famed In-Story: In the manga, they are a well-known mercenary group.
• Famous Ancestor: They have summoned heroes as ancestors, which gives them abilities far above the norm.
• Ironic Echo: When they think they've cornered Mimori, they taunt him "you must have the shittiest luck" before spewing sadistic threats and flaunting their newest weapons. The moment Mimori turns the tables, nailing them down with paralysis and poison, he retorts "you must have the shittiest luck" and then calmly watching them die, slowly.
• Just Toying with Them: They intentionally miss when firing on Seras, just to torment her.
• Karmic Death: They loved to make a sport out of hunting people down and giving them long, slow deaths. They attack Mimori, planning to do the same to him, only to be struck by his [Multi-target] paralyze and poison abnormal states, leading to their slow and very painful deaths.
• Killing Intent: When Seras was cornered and tried to fight back, they crippled her with this.
• Mugging the Monster: When they came across Mimori, they attacked him without knowing anything about him. They only lived just long enough to regret it.
• Named by the Adaptation: They only get a line in passing in the original source. In the manga, they get names, screen time, and some of their abilities are shown.
• One Degree of Separation: They have older brothers working with Asynth.
• Red Baron: As can be seen in the page image, they all have famous aliases.
• Sadist: They are well-known to hunt purely to enjoy the pain of their intended targets.

Bakugos Empire:

Monk "The Flash" Droghetti.

I found you, Seras Ashrain, and you will beg me to rape you before you die!!

A rather rude mercenary and bounty hunter who approaches a disguised Seras in the local inn, yanks her hood off her head, and then has the gall to want revenge on her for the "humiliation" of his own bad behavior.

---

• Casanova Wannabe: His primary motivation is chasing women around, to an especially creepy degree. In the manga, when he sees "Mist" from behind, with her cloak up, he shouts "It smells like a beauty!"
• Evil Is Petty: In the manga, his grudge with Seras, by his own admission, is that he asked her out on a date, and she turned him down. For her part, Seras says she has no memory of meeting him before, which is what really sets him off.
• Karmic Death: Wanted to use Mimori and Seras as monster bait in Mills Ruins. Mimori got to him first and left him paralyzed as monster bait.
• Large and in Charge: He towers over everyone and is in charge of his band of mercs.
• Mugging the Monster: Attacks Mimori for protecting "Mist Balukas". He gets paralyzed, poisoned, and then Eaten Alive by dungeon monsters, who then wind up poisoned and paralyzed as a result, making them easy prey for Mimori.
• Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Mimori decides to kill him and his merry band when he brags about wanting to rape "Mist Barucus" repeatedly if they manage to catch her alive.
• Revenge Myopia: Wants to humiliate "Mist Balukas" for insulting him, when he's the dirty clod who walked up to her, ripped her hood off her head, and tried to manhandle her without permission.
  • Again when he sees Mimori chance upon him as he and his merry band were plotting to rape and murder Seras in Mills Ruins dungeon, then disposing of her body as monster bait. When he threatens Mimori, he has the gall to demand vengeance as Mimori fights back.
• Small Name, Big Ego: He's not that famous, and his mercenary band is a group of unknowns, yet acts as if Seras, who answers only to the king of Neia, or Cattleya, the crown princess, is his equal, at best, and gets insulted if she dares to resist his so-called charm.
• We Will Meet Again: Promises to meet Mimori again to exact vengeance. Mimori goes "don't think so" and kills him.

Knight Gizan

I, Gizan, will let you "know" a real man before I kill you.

Second in command of the Black Dragon Knights.

---

• Asshole Victim: Considering he sees nothing wrong with raping and murdering women For the Evulz, his death won't be mourned.
• A Hero To His Home Town: He may be a raping, murdering scum, but he is among the top soldiers of the Bakugos Empire against the demon and monster threat.
• Nothing Personal: States he has no grudge, but fully intends to kill Seras the moment he corners her in a forest just outside of Mills.
• Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Forces Seras into a Scarpia Ultimatum, using the threat of his dragon mount to force her to have sex with him, unless she wants the dragon to eat her alive.
  • While being questioned by Mimori, he brags that he intended to make Seras the Sex Slave for the entire Black Dragon Knights order, for a very, very long time.

Knight Civit Garland

This is boring, find me a proper "enemy" already!

The leader of the Black Dragon Knight Order.

---

• Asshole Victim: No tears were shed at his Cruel and Unusual Death.
• Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: Kills his second-in-command to prevent the latter from answering Mimori's questions.
• Better than Sex: He's not interested in his wife, Cattleya, at all. He only agreed to marry her because his government ordered him to. He only gets orgasmic pleasure from battles to the death with a Worthy Opponent.
• Blood Knight: Lives for fights to the death with foes strong enough to beat him, and is always looking for an "enemy" to fight.
• Broken Ace: His title "the strongest of humanity" is not just for show. Even under the effects of "paralyze" and "poison", he still came very, very close to killing Mimori. That's how "high stat" he is. Unfortunately, he doesn't dedicate his strength to protecting the innocent; he's just interested in finding "enemies" to clash against in battles to the death and will do any despicable thing he has to in order to find them.
• Cruel and Unusual Death: Mimori uses his troops as guinea pigs to test out his new Berserk and Dark skills while they're paralyzed. He forces himself to move while paralyzed to try and stop it. The result was an extremely painful and unpleasant death, and oh did they all have it coming.
• Evil Is Petty: The reason he hunted Seras down like an animal, and wanted his knights to use her as a Sex Slave until she's utterly broken before killing her? She defeated him in a friendly spar he himself demanded.
• Fatal Flaw:
  • His greatest weakness is his Lust for a challenging opponent, which Mimori exploits to make him lower his guard.
  • His Pride also led to his undoing. Had Civit not showed his ability to detect lies, Mimori likely would've have given away his true intentions with more Blatant Lies. And then he turned his back on Mimori, leaving an opening to be poisoned.
• I Need You Stronger: To Mimori, to the point he agreed to "ignore" Seras for a while...
• Light Is Not Good: Dresses entirely in white and rides a white dragon, and he's total scum.
• Living Lie Detector: Sees through the "Hati Skoll" alias Mimori uses, so Mimori uses Exact Words to deceive him.
• Pay Evil unto Evil:
  • Kills Gizan to keep him from Saying Too Much, though he won't missed after his Attempted Rape on Seras.
  • On the receiving end, Mimori negotiates and agrees to an "honorable duel" at a later date with him, and as he approaches for the ritual handshake, paralyzes him, and subjects him to hell.
• Red Baron: "The strongest of humanity."
• Sore Loser: If you beat him in a fight, you had better kill him because otherwise, he will hunt you down like an animal until he wears you down, and catches you, then drive you to despair so that you beg for death before finally killing you.
• Tears of Blood: He forces himself to move while he's under the effect of "paralyze". This causes so much internal damage that he bleeds from every orifice, including his eyes, until his body gives out and he's kneeling in a pool of his own blood.
• Who Are You?: As his last words he asks "Bastard, who are you?" to Mimori, after the latter has soloed his entire unit. Mimori answers with Break Him By Talking, at which point, Civit falls over, dead.

The country of Uraz:

Ruins Investigation Knights Unit

The knights unit sent to investigate the Disposal Ruins to make certain no-one and nothing comes out.

---

• Bit Character: They only show up to prove that Vicius has made arrangements to keep eyes on the Disposal Dungeon, and serve no other role. Once that's been established, they're never seen again.
• It's Probably Nothing: Played with. On the one hand, they stumble upon the corpses of the Holy Guard, the top fighters of the Nea kingdom that were pursuing Seras, and see that they've been robbed blind, yet shrug it off as if they were just some low-ranked adventurers that got mobbed by monsters and then robbed by an opportunist bandit or two. On the other hand, when they arrive at the Disposal Dungeon, and their magic tool doesn't respond like it should, they take it seriously and quickly return to base to get a second tool, to make certain their tool's not broken, and to verify if someone or something did manage to breach the seal placed by Vicius, but even so, still treat it dismissively.
• We Have Become Complacent: They've put so much faith in Vicius and her barrier over the Disposal Ruins, that they see their task of going and checking the integrity of the seal as "easy money." So when their magic tool indicates that the seal may have been breached, they don't even bother to send a report warning the goddess about it, like she demands, but instead take their sweet time getting a replacement tool to make certain the first tool wasn't broken.

The group Asinth

A criminal group that claims their "curses" brought down the Black Dragon Knights.

---

• Con Man: They poison people with difficult to identify potions and herbs, and then claim they "cursed" their victim with magic.
• Evil Gloating: When they think they've got Eve and Mimori cornered in a forest, they boast about how they're not using curse magic, at all, but poisons and blackmail to try and revive the Assassin's Guild. This teaches Mimori exactly the strategy he needs to frame them for killing Duke Zuan.
• Follow in My Footsteps: They boast of picking up business where the Assassin's Guild left off, since a previous group of "heroes" not only destroyed said guild, but made all poisons illegal and "evil".
• Framing the Guilty Party: Mimori makes it look like they turned upon the corrupt noble that hired them by destroying their corpses, but leaving behind their insignia around the corpse of said noble.
• No Body Left Behind: When they catch up to Mimori's party, hunting Eve Speed, Mimori not only kills them, but uses "freeze" upon their corpses to smash them to powder, leaving no trace.
• Scarpia Ultimatum: Mimori stumbles upon them grabbing a woman off the street and threatening to "curse" her if she doesn't let them use her as a sex toy. Much as Mimori wanted to straight up kill them, he still needed them around as cover so he used "berserk" on them to make them fight each other, raise a ruckus, and let the town guards deal with them.
• Stealing the Credit: To bolster their infamy, they took credit for killing the Black Dragon Knights. This serves Mimori just fine, as it takes the heat off his back and lets him work in secret to take down "that fucking goddess".
• Would Hurt a Child: They threatened Lizbet. This did not go well for them.
• Wrong Assumption: They presumed they had Eve and Mimori cornered with a pincer attack. They were unaware that Seras was also a member of the group and is a One-Woman Army herself, taking out all their backup.

Duke Zuan

Ruler of the country of Uraz.

---

• Bad Boss: When he sees his knights dropping like flies, and they try to retreat, he strikes them down himself, forcing them to head to their certain death fighting Eve and Mimori. This culminates in being left all alone, paralyzed, with no way to retreat or surrender when Eve comes along and delivers the killing blow.
• Forced Prize Fight: Runs one in the capital city.
• I Have You Now, My Pretty: When he and his knights catch up to Eve and Mimori, as Mimori planned for them to, he boasts about how Lizbet should be "honored that he's chosen her to sire his next child", and forced to wear Eve's hide. This does not go well for him, at all.
• I Lied: He never had any intention of honoring his promise to free Lizbet and Eve, and his thugs bragged about it just before Eve was scheduled to fight her last bout.
• Inelegant Blubbering: When all his men are dead, and he finds himself helpless at Eve's feet, certain gruesome punishment headed his way, his face is covered with Tears of Fear and snot, and he's so terrified when the reality that he's not near the unstoppable juggernaut he believed himself to be finally dawns on him, he can only bawl and grunt in incomprehensible ways.
• I Reject Your Reality: He's a completely delusional twit who honestly believes the world ran according to his will and would lash out with violence, killing any who dared disagree. This not only helps Mimori's plan to Leave No Witnesses immensely, but leaves him at the non-existent mercy of Eve Speed, who wants him dead for reaching out his hand towards Lizbet, promising to make the poor child a Sex Slave, and then sell her off to a brothel when he gets bored.
• Miles Gloriosus: Since he runs an arena, he thinks he's the mightiest warrior, ever. In an actual fight, he can only hide behind his trained knights and uses them as cannon fodder.
• Nothing Is Scarier: Whatever Eve did to him, he met his end screaming in pain and terror.
• Released to Elsewhere: There have been gladiatorial slaves that won their freedom, despite it being well known that he sabotages their last bouts, so whoever beats them will become the new fan favorite and keep the money from the betting pool flowing. These poor sods had a tendency to wind up dead in the river, if they were ever found at all.
• Skewed Priorities: He was so obsessed with his Gladiator Games that he never tried to have children. His death quickly causes a Succession Crisis in Uraz.

The Mistress of Hakuashitei Tavern

The one tasked with "watching over" Lizbet by Duke Zuan while Eve was in the blood-fights.

---

• Bad Boss: She would constantly blame Lizbet for the behavior of bad customers, and turn a blind eye when they sexually harassed and assaulted her, taking all their complaints, no matter how illegitimate, out on the little girl's hide, and when she didn't abuse the girl, she would let the customers do it, even beating her head against the floor repeatedly, until she wept tears of blood, while they laughed. Eve saw it, and an epic beatdown ensued.
• Cruel and Unusual Death: On the receiving end. When Mimori sees the kind of life Lizbet was subjected to, he first lets Eve do a bit of Percussive Therapy on the customers abusing Lizbet, and the mistress herself. When there's nobody else around, Mimori returns and ambushes her from behind, paralyzes her, and then ignores her pleas to be spared, and her empty promises of protection from Duke Zuan to paralyze her, non-fatally poison her, use "darkness" to blind her and then slit her throat so she slowly bleeds out, not being able to tell which way she's facing as she lies on the ground and the paralysis wears off. Brr...
• Small Name, Big Ego: Runs a tavern, and thinks she's more important and influential than Duke Zuan, the king of the country of Uraz!
• Villains Want Mercy: She begged and pleaded for forgiveness and her life when Eve tore into her, and then when Mimori did the same.
• Would Hurt a Child: Either beat up on Lizbet, or let her customers do it, to keep the customers happy, damn the staff's well being, even though Lizbet was Duke Zuan's property.

Gods:

Vicius

Oh, stop being "selfish" and let yourself be disposed of already, E-ranker!

The one who summons Class 2-C to this new world.

---

• Adaptational Dumbass: In the original novel, Mimori informs her of his abilities, and she dismisses them as worthless because she's familiar with those abilities, and they usually only rarely work, and only last for a few seconds when they do. In the manga, she doesn't even bother to learn what his abilities are before disposing of him, simply because he came back with an "E-Rank" growth rate on his stats.
• Assumed Win: She is so, so dismissive of humans that she believes the world is always in the palm of her hand, with her minions always striving to please her, and her plans always going her way. Every time this assumption is proven wrong, she flies into a rage and tears into whatever messenger is bringing this news forward, propagating a vicious cycle where nobody ever wants to inform her of what's really going on, until there's not other option, only to have her completely flip her lid, making the survivors even more reluctant to serve.
• Beauty Is Bad: Physically, she's stunningly gorgeous, but she's morally bankrupt.
• The Cake Is a Lie: Promises to send class 2-C home if they can present proof of defeating the Demon King. After Mimori is disposed of, and several casualties occur during the first few days of training, Ayaka and the Takaro sisters begin to wonder if Vicius is really going to follow through...
• Circular Reasoning: She professes that humans are nothing more than "lewd monkeys" and that even though good and noble people do pop up from time to time, eventually the mob of the despicable will drown them out by sheer numbers. As such, she openly places despicable people in positions of power and authority and destroys the good and noble ones.
• Compulsive Liar: She just can not tell the truth unless she has no other option. Even if the lies are blatantly obvious, and she knows people know she's lying. If she's ever caught telling the truth, it's an indication that things have gone really pear-shaped, as is demonstrated at the start of volume 9, after Kirihara's and Hijiri's independent betrayals.
• Condescending Compassion: How she speaks to everyone.
• The Corrupter: Her "Blessing" will make the recipient a worse person, without fail. It's a slow, subtle process.
• Crime of Self-Defense: Dare to defend yourself from her attacks or her decision to "dispose of you" and you're the one who's evil or "corrupted" and in need of punishment.
• Crocodile Tears: Makes herself cry in "regret" when she renders Ayaka unconscious in the manga, due to the latter daring to stand up on Mimori's behalf.
• Cruel Mercy: Throws Mimori's unique transmigration item at him, that she had seized while he was unconscious from the summoning sickness, as he's being transported to the Disposal Dungeon, ostensibly to extend his suffering, and calls it "a mercy". Mimori doesn't think there was any benevolence in getting his rightful property returned before being sent to an execution ground.
• Even Evil Has Standards: As vile as she is, even she can't stomach Kirihara's "king" complex and would have killed him where he stood when the two meet if he wasn't hiding the Great Demon Emperor's heart away from her, using instructions to his gold-eyed minions to keep its location secret from everyone, including himself. In chapter 330, she even expected him to lose a straight up fight with Touka in spite of shielding him with her [Dispel Bubble], and now Kirihara can't use the "hostage" trick anymore because the gold-eyed monster betrayed him, giving her the GED's heart.
• Evil Can Not Comprehend Good: She sees any and all acts of virtue (aside from those that are entirely self-serving, or merely a front for other kinds of nastiness) as acts of pure insanity.
• Evil Versus Oblivion: She's the "evil" to the Demon King's "oblivion".
• Faux Affably Evil: Her words are polite, but her body language, gestures, and actions are filled with nothing but contempt for everyone other than herself, and outright disdain for everyone who doesn't jump to her whims.
• Fight Off the Kryptonite: When the Great Demon Emperor teleports into Alion, she is indeed laid low by its miasma, and Hijiri lends her shoulder under the premise of escorting her to safety, but then attacks after verifying that the goddess lied about planning to send the class back home. Vicius then consumes some unknown substance that allows her to still fight and regenerate while exposed to the Great Demon Emperor's miasma.
• Forgiveness: Defied. Genuine forgiveness is a virtue, and she has none. She will never be satisfied with any punishment to someone who has offended her, real, imagined, or accidental, until that person is dead and forgotten. Every time she's alone and contemplating Ayaka, she calls the latter "a raging bitch" for the fact that Ayaka dared to complain about Mimori's pending disposal and is beside herself with rage that she can't just summarily dispose of Ayaka at any moment because she's just too damn competent and actually has war merits that her favorite "heroes" don't.
• Greater-Scope Villain: Aside from the routine "revival" of the Demon King, she's responsible for all the evil and suffering in the world, and maybe she's responsible for the Demon King too.
• Humans Are Insects: She sees humans as the most stupid creatures alive, simply because they have inherently short life-spans.
• Hypocrite: She condemns "The Mad Emperor" of Mira for supposedly using hostages to compel her apostle to feed her false information when she herself happily uses hostages to force the loyalty of her apostles in the first place, case in point, Nyantan Keekipat.
  • She proclaims Poison Is Evil and bans its use, but uses poison herself. But as Hijiri figures out, she does this so nobody can prepare antidotes.
• Impractically Fancy Outfit: How, just how, is she able to move around without having those "clothes" fall off and completely expose everything above her hips, at a minimum? Or simply tripping over her train and winding up flat on her face?
  • The end of volume 8 reveals that those "clothes" are actually part of her body, because when Hijiki realizes she's lying about sending them home and attacks her, they grow back.
• Jerkass God: Oh, it goes without saying that she is one.
• "Just Joking" Justification: In Chapter 217, she's briefed by Duke Polarie that Ayaka's good works and accomplishments have made her one of the most revered heroes. Vicius, not wanting to relent on how Ayaka "went mad" in defending Touka, goes into a fit and starts trying to make the duke backpedal and recant. When Duke Polarie instead justifies his statements with hard evidence, after she gives him a Slasher Smile for a while, suddenly goes "perky" and states that it was just a Secret Test of Character that he passed, until he leaves the room and throws curses at his back.
• Make an Example of Them: On two fronts. First, she lets an unknown man in chains get eaten by a monster to then vaporize the monster, so the class sees how helpless they are before her, then disposes of the "E-rank" Mimori, just to show what happens to those who don't measure up.
• Meaningful Name: Her name "Vicius" sounds very similar to the term "vices" and she's got all the Seven Deadly Sins. It also sounds like "vicious", bringing to mind her general behavior towards anyone that does not act like a sycophant to her (and even those that do).
• Mood-Swinger: Weaponized. When Ayaka came back victorious, defeating one of the demon king generals, while Kirihara came back in full retreat, even with Vicius herself backing him up, she flip-flopped her emotions every few seconds, showering Ayaka with praise one moment and then freezing time to tear into her with foul and abusive language to then switch back and restart time again. Amazingly, Ayaka managed to keep her wits about her and did not let herself get flustered into looking like a lucky idiot, or worse.
• Never My Fault: She goes completely passive-aggressive when welcoming Ayaka back, victorious. On the one hand, she can't bring herself to publicly admit that all her assessments of Ayaka were wrong, and she needs to make amends, but on the other hand her public image won't let her get away with openly ignoring Ayaka's accomplishment of defeating one of the top generals of the demon king's army. So she speaks out of both sides of her mouth, praising Ayaka one second and condemning her the next.
• Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Her cruel and petty disposal of Mimori at the beginning doesn't just turn around and bite her in the ass, it crawls up through her anal sphincter and tears her apart from the insides!
  • Mimori's experience in the Disposal Dungeon isn't just Training from Hell to make him the powerhouse the world needs to deal with the Demon King, it gives him access to the tools left behind by previous "hindrances", one of which might lead to the secret to how to beat her, which is what she fears most. Plus, she "graciously" gives him his transmigration item, which allows him to get food in exchange of mana.
  • If not for Mimori coming out of Disposal Dungeon as Seras was passing by, the two would never have met, and Seras would very likely have been raped and murdered.
  • Mimori hiring Seras as his bodyguard led to the near total annihilation of a powerful group of roving serial rapists who saw nothing wrong with kidnapping women and passing them around like sex toys before murdering them, and their boss who was addicted to the thrill of fighting "enemies" to the death and would happily do anything, no matter how vile, to find one, even planning on turning on the "heroes" Vicius herself summoned, if he thought it would give him a good fight.
  • Mimori's quest to find "the contraindicated witch" causes him to cross path with Eve, which results in the complete and total destruction of an illegal slaving ring, the gladiatorial arena where they are forced to fight to the death, the death of the corrupt Duke Zuan who ran it, and his entourage, and the elimination of the group Asinth that was trying to revive the Assassin's guild by using hard-to-detect poisons and calling it "curse magic."
• Playing the Victim Card: Whenever she so much as thinks that her decisions or character are being challenged, she whips out the Crocodile Tears and starts publicly throwing herself a pity party, whining about how she's struggling, suffering, and working to save humanity only for her "ungrateful" accusers to decry her unjustly. The only reason she always gets away with it is that she can Appeal to Force at any time and vaporize people where they stand.
• Psycho Lesbian: Implied. While she has yet to show any interest in males, regardless of origin or appearance, she has shown great interest in other females,(such as Ayaka, Nyantan or Seras), and is quite fond of putting them in fetishistic clothing. She's also morally bankrupt.
• Psychological Projection: Since she uses hostages to compel obedience, she presumes that the reason her apostle in the country of Mira didn't warn her about Mira's upcoming declaration of war is that said apostle had her relatives used as hostages.
• Self-Serving Memory: She tells everyone, including herself, that at Mimori's disposal Ayaka briefly went mad and attacked her. In truth, she's the one who attacked Ayaka for daring to come to Mimori's defense, and was shocked that Ayaka managed to parry her attack, though she failed to deal with the follow-up.
• Seven Deadly Sins: She has the entire set.
  • Pride: She sees herself as the most beautiful, intelligent, and elegant being in the world, bar none, and nobody is ever fit to correct her, on anything.
  • Gluttony: She lives life to excess in everything she does, and flaunts the wealth she's acquired through all means, fair and foul, and don't you dare criticize her on it.
  • Greed: Everything in the world is her rightful property, including people's lives. Whatever she deigns to give them, or let them keep, is an act of "charity."
  • Lust: She has an unending lust for power and "entertainment" that comes from bloodshed in fighting the Demon King and the suffering of others. Not to mention that she's fond of all but forcing attractive women around her into stripperific clothing, as shown with both Ayaka and Nyantan whom she provides Chainmail Bikini armor and then tells them that it's their uniform for battle against the gold-eyed monsters... At least said armor works as advertised and does indeed provide excellent protection against most monster attacks.
  • Envy: Got something better than her? She must take it, or destroy it if she can't get it. She demanded Seras become her "acolyte", being jealous of the latter's in-universe superior beauty. When Seras refused, the armies of all countries in the world were sent after her, and her home country was consumed by its neighbor Bakugos.
  • Sloth: While she often proclaims herself to be incredibly busy with other off-screen matters, she always delegates her on-screen duties as much as possible, and rarely does anything herself if someone else can do it for her.
  • Wrath: She's a Soft-Spoken Sadist that loves to watch the people she doesn't see any value in, or have somehow offended her, squirm, struggle, plead, and beg, to then fall into despair. When Mimori refused to do so as he was being transported to Disposal Ruins, she took it as a personal affront.
• Social Darwinist: Fail to meet up to her standards and you don't deserve to live.
• Soft-Spoken Sadist: She's spewing polite words and phrases at all times, even when she's relishing the pain she delivers unto others. It's especially prominent in the manga when she's sending Mimori to the Disposal Dungeon. After she's goaded, threatened, and manipulated the rest of class 2-C to taunt and torment him as a prelude to his "departure," she, with all the sarcasm and Condescending Compassion she can muster, tells him "it's okay to cry, there's no shame in it" wanting him to cry, plead, and beg, and is completely shocked and taken aback when Mimori flips her off and tells her "go to hell, Bitch Goddess!"
• Stupid Evil: All her vile deeds are completely self-destructive, but she refuses to acknowledge it, let alone believe it. By the end of volume 6, she has so alienated the people of the world with her short-sighted superiority complex that the country of Mira openly declared war on her.
• Supernatural Gold Eyes: Calls herself a goddess and is illustrated with golden eyes.
• Verbal Backspace: When Hijiri catches her lying about planning to send the survivors back to Earth, she goes "so you figured it out" before whipping out the Crocodile tears and shouting "oh, so you're attacking me over a misunderstanding that I would deceive you about going home, without confirmation?! HOW CRUEL!!"
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: There is nothing more dangerous than finding yourself being deemed "useless" by her, as she will dispose of you the very first opportunity.

Great Demon Emperor/ The Root Of Evil. Warning, spoilers.

The entity the class was summoned to fight and kill by Vicius at the start of the story.

---

• Did Not See That Coming: Despite watching Kirihara very, very carefully, and sensing absolutely no killing intent or negative emotions, but in fact sensing Kirihara actually had positive feelings towards itself, Kirihara still came after it and killed it, without a second thought.
• Dropped a Bridge on Him: Killed off without a major battle or fanfare. It was talking with Kirihara amiably one moment, backstabbed and sliced to pieces the next.
• Eldritch Abomination: It's sentient but is a shape-shifting entity with no default "base form."
• The Empath: It can sense the emotions and mindet of anyone and anything around it.
• Evil Versus Oblivion: The oblivion to Vicius's evil. Also a rare case of the "oblivion" being more sympathetic than the "evil" as it is biologically compelled to kill and can't stop itself, not for very long, at least.
• Even Evil Can Be Loved: Its death is mourned by the army left behind, but Kirihara has already taken control over them with the upgraded version of his golden dragon special skill.
• Intrigued by Humanity: The fact that it couldn't figure out what Kirihara wanted made it very, very interested in humanity as a whole... just before Kirihara backstabbed him.
• Keystone Army: The army of Gold Eyed Monsters is only an army because it's in control. Upon it's death, they all become mindless monsters. Kirihara gets around that issue by genuinely befriending this entity and then backstabbing it when its guard is down, then seizing control of the army for himself.
• Made of Evil: It can't help being the way it is. It was born with a biological imperative to Kill All Humans and the "Deities" of this new world. This is something it can not change, no matter how much it wants to.
• Man of Kryptonite: Its very existence produces "Tyrant's Miasma" that weakens all the natives of the new world, especially the "deities" like Vicius. Only "heroes" summoned from another world are exempt from its effects.
• Walking Spoiler: Speaking of this entity will all but unavoidably spoil the late chapters of the story.
• Worf Had the Flu: Although Kirihara had been power-leveling for a while in GDE's territory, this eldritch entity was still suffering the grievous wounds it got in the fight with Ayaka, having prioritized building up its army and training Kirihara over healing itself. This made it easy, disgustingly easy, for Kirihara to kill it.

Far Away Country

Liseolette

The prime minister and an arachne.

---

• Attempted Rape: She approaches the captain of 11th Cavalry, alone, and unarmed, after he makes some empty pleasantries. The moment she's close enough to grab, he pins her to the ground and promises to repeatedly rape her and force her into prostitution until she's raped to death, as soon as he figures out how to do that.
• Broken Bird: The trauma of having several limbs broken, a damaged eye, and the trauma of a near-rape attempt leaves her visibly shaken for quite some time after she's rescued by Touka.
• Hypocrite: She threatens to vacate the entire arachne population, which Far Away Country needs to produce enough food to keep people fed, among other magical tools, if the council vote regarding how to deal with Alion's incoming 13 Cavalries doesn't go her way of Suicidal Pacifism. When The Four Warlights (Far Away Country's armed forces) leave the country in protest as a result of the vote going her way, she has a panic attack and tries to capture them to drag them back against their will.
• Easily Forgiven: If not for Touka being a Spanner in the Works for Alion's cavalries, her actions would have lead the the graphic deaths if not worse, of every last man, woman, and child in the country, and even barring that, she would have happily handed over the Kurasoga tribe to Vicius for straight up genocide if she was given assurances that Vicius would spare her nation, assurances Vicius wouldn't comply with, under even the best of circumstances. Yet, after the cavalries are all cleaned up, she gets to keep her job as Prime Minister without protest. Everybody just figures the beating and rape threats she got were enough to finally make her see sense.
• Ignorant of Their Own Ignorance: She came to believe she's infallible at the debate table because her only experience with debating is in Far Away Country, where she can call upon the bureaucracy to silence her opposition, or extort them by threatening to withdraw arachne support for the country. She tries to negotiate on equal footing with 11th cavalry and immediately realizes how wrong this mindset is.
• Know-Nothing Know-It-All: She acts as if what she "knows" is always correct and will happily use any tactic to silence her opposition. She completely ignores the first hand testimony of Touka and other people from outside Far Away Country in regards to the actions of Alion as "biased hearsay without proof" or "you never even tried to find a peaceful method", even when told about how [Heroic Sword] was bragging about their extermination of the Speed Tribe, or their treatment of Nyaki. She even called her mentor Erika, the contraindicated witch "a fool trapped in the past" because she recommends treating Alion with caution and contempt.
• Suicidal Pacifist: When she hears that Alion is sending all 13 cavalries at her country, she insists that the proper response is to show that they are not a threat by unilaterally disarming and leaving the front gate wide open. Despite the fact that the reason they are all in hiding in the first place is because Vicious had the 13 cavalries, as well as several "heroic" mercenary groups, try to hunt them all to extinction in the first place, and Vicius is still well in charge of Alion.

Mimori's Parents

Perhaps today is the day that brat dies, Bwahahaha!

They gave birth to him, apparently purely for the sake of having a punching bag that they could try to beat to death.

---

• Abusive Parents: As already mentioned, they saw Mimori only as a nuisance that they must kill, either by beatings, starvation, or exposure to the elements, locking him on the outdoor veranda, on the second floor, in the middle of winter with insufficient clothing.
• The Alcoholic: They both drank to excess, and used their drunken stupor as an excuse to lose their temper and beat Mimori for no reason, aside from sheer sadism.
• Cold-Blooded Torture: Oh they weren't just abusive, no. They didn't simply starve Mimori, beat him, and leave him on the veranda to freeze to death. Chapter 31 of the novel reveals they were so fond of ripping out his finger-nails that a monster attack which turns the fingers on his right hand to raspberries seems minor by comparison.
• Cynicism Catalyst: They're the reason Mimori starts the story so jaded, he doesn't break down in tears when Vicius decides to dispose of him.
• Domestic Abuse: Even though they joined forces to beat up on Mimori, they also enjoyed beating up on each other. The biggest reason for the fights between them is that Mimori's mother had "a bad habit of buying too much food", which is the only reason Mimori had anything to eat, at all, since he was fed the leftovers, and nothing else.
• Entitled Bitch: And Entitled Bastard. They honestly believed that, as Mimori's parents, they had the right to do whatever they wanted to him, even beating him to death, if they so desired, and they certainly desired it.
• For the Evulz: They had no reason or justification whatsoever for beating up on Mimori and trying to kill him. They just enjoyed doing it.
• Hate Sink: They are very easy to hate, seeing as they have no redeeming features, and only see their son as a punching bag, making it a sport to see how long it takes to beat him to death, and cheering each other on when it looks like it will finally happen.
• Karma Houdini: They left Touka with his aunt and uncle and skipped town; as per Japanese law, they received no penalties.
• Never My Fault: Whenever they were called out on their child abuse, they never took responsibility for their actions. They would twist rational thinking into pretzels trying to blame Mimori for it. In fact, chapter 2 of the manga has Mimori's father angrily yell "What the hell did you do? I'll fucking kill you!" while the neighbors and the police were trying to break the door down, after seeing a battered and bloody Mimori on the veranda with a Growling Gut.
• No Name Given: Their names are never mentioned.
• Parental Abandonment: When Child Services had finally had enough of their lies, excuses, and entitlement for abusing and trying to straight up murder Mimori, Mimori's father literally shoved him into his uncle's custody. Fortunately, said uncle treated Mimori as the son he always wanted, but never had, with genuine affection and kindness.
• Parental Neglect: As mentioned, the only food Mimori had to eat was leftovers because his mother "had a bad habit of buying too much food".
• Sadist: They lived for the thrill of seeing Mimori in pain and suffering.
• Seven Deadly Sins: In the few flashbacks we've had of them, they seem to be going for the whole set, but haven't quite got there yet.
  • Wrath: Self-explanatory. They have explosive tempers and live for the thrill of beating up people, including each other.
  • Greed: Although their primary motivation for trying to kill Mimori was pure sadism, they bragged that receiving "condolence money" from his death would have been a welcome bonus.
  • Gluttony: They ate as much of the groceries Mimori's mother purchased as they could, and only reluctantly gave leftovers to Mimori himself. In fact, their main source of friction between each other is Mimori's mother buying more food than she and Mimori's father could eat, put together, purely because she wanted to eat it.

Mimori's uncle and aunt-in-law.

The custodial "parent" of Mimori when his own father and mother finally realized that they didn't have any kind of legal right to try and kill Mimori, or simply abandon him.

---

• Good Parents: Unlike his biological parents, they treated Mimori like the son they always wanted, with genuine affection and kindness. This is the only thing that kept Mimori from going full-tilt Misanthrope Supreme.
• Morality Chain: Mimori holds them in high regard as his role models.
• No Name Given: Sadly, their names are never mentioned. They deserve recognition for taking in a horribly abused teen and turning his life around, making him a healthy and productive member of society.
• Parental Substitute: Since Mimori's parents were so horrendous, Japan's Child Services stripped away custody, the uncle and aunt had to step up to the plate, being the closest living relatives. Fortunately for Mimori, they turned out to be Good Parents who treated him kindly.
