Protagonist
Tsukuru Sumeragi
What have I done?
- Above the Influence: He has several people tell him that having sex with his Unwanted Harem would be a nice thing, including the ladies in said harem. He balks because he doesn't feel right concerning the idea of having sex with a slave, even if she does legitimately ask for it, or has the right to say "no."
- Achievements in Ignorance: He broke all the level limits without realizing it when his first battle resulted in the death of a monster over 200 levels above him. It's such a rare accomplishment as to be considered basically impossible.
- Adaptational Badass: Implied. In the web-novel, Tsukuru has to stand down at the behest of the high-elf queen, in annoyance, because Hagen Temas is one-sidedly beating the snot out of him. In the light-novel, Volume 2 has an illustration where Tsukuru is glaring down at a clearly distraught Hagen Tamas.
- Confirmed when he meets, and fights, Anthia, the Elf Queen. She remains a level 415 menace, fights fiercer and smarter, and he beats her in a straight up fight, not as a last-ditch counter-attack.
- Adaptational Jerkass: In the original web-novel, he rescued all the classmates he could reach, even helping some who were turned into monsters unwittingly. In the light novel, he only rescues Ichinose and her friend Miki; he leaves the rest to their own devices because he's got bigger problems to deal with and he figures he doesn't have the charity or mercy to care about them when they didn't care about him in his time of need.
- Agitated Item Stomping: The first time his status plate mocks him, he throws it to the ground in a rage. He reluctantly picks it up again because he has little choice and needs the information it provides to survive, no matter how snide or mocking it is.
- Awesome by Analysis: His skill [Detailed Analyze] allows for this.
- Born Lucky: He starts the story with his "Luck" stat at EX, the highest rank.
- Chaste Hero: Combined with Chivalrous Pervert and Above the Influence. He very, very much appreciates Canaan's beauty, and the fact that she sees nothing wrong with disrobing right in front of him, the moment he suggests changing clothes. He does not exploit this.
- Chivalrous Pervert: Loves to ogle Canaan and Hannah when they change in front of him, and happily prepares fetishistic clothes for them to wear, for his own amusement, he even enjoys sharing the same bed, but as for actual sexual intercourse? That's a no, due to the major power imbalance between them. Even if they insist on it.
- The Chosen One: Chosen by goddess Amaterasu to stop "hero summoning" from Earth because the summoning ritual is putting Earth, as a whole, at risk, as more and more people get summoned at a time.
- Common Law Marriage: Per the rules of this new world, there is no ceremony or fanfare. People are married when they proclaim they are. In most cases, the closest thing to a ceremony is going to the local lord and officially registering the marriage.
- Combo Platter Powers: Once the power escalation really gets going, he can mix and match all sorts of powerful spells.
- Blow You Away: One of his earliest acquired spells is wind based magic.
- Casting a Shadow: Can use "Darkness" magic to hide in and utilize shadows for quick sneak-attacks.
- Green Thumb: Gains the ability to grow and control plants from eating the meat of the Bukagon monsters he killed, after they tried hunting him.
- Making a Splash: His [Spring Water] or [Squirt Gun] ability can summon water from a mouthful to a flash-flood.
- Playing with Fire: Starting with his [Ignition] sub-skill, he can burn anything he desires, within a short distance, and line of sight, and the flames don't go out unless he wishes it, usually.
- Cosmic Plaything: The descriptions [Detailed Analyze] give him of the world setting are brief, succinct, and professional. Descriptions of his own skills are whimsical, immature, and mocking.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Black hair, black eyes, dresses entirely in black by the time he makes it to town, but is still an honest and upright individual, even after the crap he endured at the hands of the powers that be that summoned him and his class to this alien world.
- Did Not Think This Through: He purchased Canaan because he felt caught between Sindel and Dockum, and he certainly didn't trust Canaan's fate would be kind in Dockum's hands. When he walked out of the shop, mind-broken slave in tow, he had no money left and no prospects for more. Fortunately, he got the idea to sell his cooking through Sindel's shop...
- Drill Sergeant Nasty: Reconstructed. When he's given a squad of 10 of the most trusted soldiers of the town lord to train into a Badass Crew, he puts them through hell, and all the flaws of the trope are brought to light. Still, the training is successful because he fed said squad his hand made Power-Up Food and when the training is done, rewards them all with gear so fantastic, they would have never been able to get it their whole lives any other way. Said trainees are all immensely grateful.
- An Entrepreneur Is You: Rather than take up the stereotypical "becomes an adventurer to get stronger" cliche, the first thing he does when he gets to town is open a cooking business with Sindel, the owner of the local general store. Said business proves immeasurably profitable, for both of them.
- Equivalent Exchange: The skill he gets from conquering the Bolf Forest dungeon. He can trade any of his raw materials for completed goods, one skill he possesses for another, or even craft new skills, but he has to be careful, as it can sap his life and kill him if he gets greedy.
- Friendless Background: On Earth, all his friends were online. In class, the only one who would willingly interact with him was Ichinose, and he was grateful.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: Starts that story as a level 1 chef. By the time the web novel has reached chapter 10 of volume 1, he's a level 200+ Master Swordsman, and that's just the tip of the iceberg of what he can do.
- Genre Savvy: To the point of Leaning on the Fourth Wall. He's well aware of all the isekai cliches and pitfalls, and constantly voices them in his internal monologue. This knowledge did help him adapt to his situation quickly, and keep his wits about him, even predicting that somebody was going to be found below par and thrown out. This still isn't enough when he finds himself being the cast out party.
- Good Is Not Soft: He is exemplary in being patient, tolerant, and kind, but go out of your way to provoke him, and you'd better pray to whatever gods you worship for mercy because there isn't going to be any coming from him.
- Got Volunteered: Canaan was literally shoved into his "service" because Sindel, owner of the general store, didn't want her to wind up in the hands of Dockum, a man who has a bad reputation. Since Canaan was a crime-slave at the time, her fate would not have been kind if Dockum got her.
- Happily Married: In the light novel version, he marries Antia, Hannah, and Canaan. Many sexy-fun times ensue as a result.
- Heart Is an Awesome Power: His [Chef] class is actually quite broken. He can craft Power-Up Food from scratch, for starters.
- Hyper Active Metabolism: Among the many perks of his [Chef] skill is that the meals he cooks provide healing and recovery benefits.
- Lethal Harmless Powers: The reason he got cast out is because his primary skill is [Cooking] and he has a [Chef] class. His sub-skills [Ignition] and [Dismantling] are extremely dangerous, able to affect anything and require no mana to use. The first time he found himself in battle, he lit his enemy's face on fire and then used [Dismantling] to reduce the beast to Ludicrous Gibs when cornered.
- Like a Duck Takes to Water: He adapts to his situation with remarkable finesse and exceptional aptitude. Even without the fact that Bolf Forest has deadly high-level monsters, being stuck in the middle of a large forest, no known nearby towns or villages, has killed people far, far more savvy than himself. If it wasn't for winter rolling in, he would have been just fine.
- Marry Them All: With the exception of Sanya, whom he sees as a little sister, he marries all the girls of his Battle Harem.
- Medal of Dishonor: When his clothes have shredded to the point that he can't even cover his privates effectively anymore, he gains the title "The pervert", openly mocking his plight.
- Mistaken for Cheating: During the last day of training, he senses a powerful monster heading towards his squad, he sends them, and Canaan, back to town while he engages the monster... which happens to be the level 400 high-elf queen. As a result of the horrific fight —which would have been a Mutual Kill if the elf-queen didn't take pity on him at the last moment— he comes home well after dark. Smelling the scent of another woman on him, Canaan angrily accuses him of screwing around and then demands that he use her as the one and only outlet for his sexual desire, or if Canaan's indisposed, make use of Hannah. He is so chagrined, he can only apologize weakly.
- Mundane Made Awesome: Thanks to Amaterasu's blessing His cooking ability is the most broken ability set in this new world.
- Necessary Drawback: His [Ignition] skill only activates in a very short range, and requires maintaining line-of-sight. His One-Hit Kill skill [Dismantle] requires physical contact. In battle with very large and strong foes, this is very, very dangerous, and has him looking for long-range skills for a while.
- Power Parasite: His first meal, made of monster meat, allows him to acquire [Night Vision] from the cat-beast that came at him. He has absorbed other abilities this way.
- Refused by the Call: None of the world powers at the auction wanted him, so he's shoved through a magical gate "to a random country" but winds up right in the center of a stupidly overpowered dungeon to be Left for Dead.
- Relationship Upgrade: In the light novel, he openly marries the ladies of his harrem, at which point his entire reason for refusing their advances disappears...
- Released to Elsewhere: Since he couldn't be returned to his home-world, and none of the bidders wanted him, he was shoved through a gate to a "random country." He found himself in Bolf forest, a stupidly overpowered dungeon.
- Somebody Else's Problem: Justified. In the light-novel version, he hears how some of his classmates are behaving badly, and others have been turned into monsters. He ignores them all because he's got bigger fish to fry, ie stopping Hagen Temas from summoning even more people from Earth, possibly wrecking both worlds in the process.
- Supreme Chef: Even in Japan, before he got skills, his cooking skill was exceptional. Only Ichinose noticed and appreciated it.
- Take Our Word for It: The last scene before he accepted the Wacky Marriage Proposal he got from his girls was some Bathtub Bonding where everyone was discussing baby making. The next scene was the next morning with him saying "I can't mention what we did last night."
- Unluckily Lucky: The amount of stuff he's gone through thanks to his ridiculous luck is insane! In the light-novel, as Amaterasu is attempting to stop the most recent mass-kidnapping event, Tsukuru and his 107 classmates, she notices the gods of the new world partially overlooked him, thus she takes temporary custody of his transmigrating soul, discovered that his birth-parents died in a car crash, and then his adopted parents died in a car crash, alongside his younger biological sister, leaving him the Sole Survivor, and then he and his class are grabbed by "the hero summoning" so Amaterasu raises his luck to as high as it will go and gives him a hidden "blessing" related to his cooking hobby. Then when he gets to the new world, he's overlooked and thrown away into the dungeon where his blessing "awakens" in battle with the Musk Leopard, a 200+ level monster, eventually making him a juggernaut few can match.
- Unscrupulous Hero: He sees the law as a "guideline," and if you piss him off, he will see nothing wrong in robbing you blind, and/or hurting you as much as he thinks he can get away with.
- Unwanted Harem: He gets several attractive ladies shoved into his service, regardless of his wishes. He accepts only because their fate would be much worse if he turns them down.
- Wild Card: In the light-novel version, he only cares about keeping his wives happy. If helping you aligns with that, congratulations, he's got your back. If it doesn't consider yourself lucky if he just ignores you.
- With This Ring: He uses [Equivalent Exchange] to trade some gold dust he found in the river bed of Bolf Forest to craft Canaan a ring, when she insists on becoming his slave again after he frees her, by proving her innocence.
- In the light novel version, he and his ladies all sport matching mithril rings as proof of their marital vows.
- Work Hard, Play Hard: His central philosophy to monster hunting and combat training. He works his apprentices, harem, and trainees to the bone, but provides them the best Power-Up Food and equipment to keep them motivated and happy, and sitting in the lap of luxury in all ways possible.
- You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: When he is going through the so called "evidence" resulting in Canaan's conviction for the murder of Dolce, he voices the trope, almost word for word.Are you kidding me? Are you trying to make me angry? Is this what you call an incident report?
This was the case where Dolce, the son of the Count, was killed. How could you convict Canaan on such a flimsy record? Who’s Witness A? Where is he now? Why was the feudal lord’s son going out alone? Where was his guard? Was dereliction of duty even brought up!?
This is ― well, isn’t this like saying please kidnap and kill him as soon as possible?
This is an obvious setup. There can be no doubt that someone with a decent amount of power or influence is involved in this case.- He has the same reaction when Canaan demands to be his slave again after he cleared her name and won her freedom.
- He is clearly not amused at being tasked to host Hannah, as a crime slave, by Count Abbas, after she repeatedly tried to murder him with poison, even if he is sympathetic to her plight.
Companions:
Black Fog
Show me that you are worthy, Tsukuru Sumeragi!
SPOILER!
Tsukuru's first companion and living sword.
- Ambiguous Gender: Until volume 4, he is addressed by gender neutral pronouns. After Tsukuru uses a souped-up [Equivalent Exchange] to restore his old body, his true gender is revealed.
- Dirty Old Man: Certainly talks like one, which Tsukuru lampshades. He's even more perverted than he is, and near constantly tries to goad Tsukuru into having sex with the lovely ladies of his harem.
- A Form You Are Comfortable With: He takes the form of a sword that suits its wielder best.
- The Gadfly: Loves to tease and provoke Tsukuru, just to get a reaction. Tsukuru gives back just as good as he gets...
- Only the Chosen May Wield: If the sword doesn't see you as worthy, it will simply float away, on a journey to find someone who is. Tsukuru had to defeat a dragon, single-handed, to prove he is.
- Sentient Phlebotinum: Is a sword and is sentient.
- Training from Hell: Put Tsukuru through it, forcing him to fight a dragon, the Final Boss of Bolf Forest, repeatedly, so he could become a Master Swordsman.
- Unbreakable Weapons: Justified. An ancient enchantment prevents it from chipping, dulling, or breaking in any way.
- Was Once a Man: In life, He was a human sword-saint. After his death, he became a sword, and was carried around by the undead monster Tsuruku met.
Canaan
Sumeragi, you meanie! HELP ME!!
The first girl in Tsukuru's Unwanted Harem.- All Women Are Lustful: Once she's become a common slave, as opposed to a crime slave, under Tsukuru, she comes on to him, and insist he use her as an outlet for his sexual desires, to his chagrin.
- Angst Coma: Her side-chapter in the light-novel shows that when Tsukuru picked her up out of Sidele's store, she was in one so deep, she doesn't even know where she was until she wakes up in Tsukru's bed, drooling as a result of smelling his cooking, no memory of how she got there, and thinking she must be dreaming because crime slaves don't even have the privilege to lie on a bed.
- Bedmate Reveal: Since There Is Only One Bed, she wakes up and finds that Tsukuru has spent the night sleeping beside her. She finds his sleeping face adorable and greatly enjoys fluffing his hair.
- Big Eater: She loves to eat Tsukuru's cooking, to the point that she can eat enough portions to feed 10 people, and still wants more. Yet, she's still thin as a reed. Tsukuru actually likes this, as he considers dainty women who proclaim they're "full" after only a bite or two as unattractive.
- Clear My Name: The first thing Tsukuru does for her is investigate the murder of Dolce, of which she's accused, to prove her innocence.
- Curtains Match the Windows: Her eyes are the same color pink as her hair.
- Dull Eyes of Unhappiness: She was sporting these when Tsukuru first takes custody of her.
- Fiery Redhead: She has red hair and her first magic is fire.
- Innocent Fanservice Girl: Justified. She sees nothing wrong in completely disrobing in front of Tsukuru, the moment he provides her new clothes, and asks her to change into them. The reason is that he bought her as a crime slave, and if he says "put this on", she has to comply. Even if she was aware of the effect her body has on him, she would still happily do it.
- Kangaroo Court: She was put through one. Upon being found over Dolce's body, she was railroaded into becoming a crime slave, no opportunity to present evidence or testify on her own behalf.
- Leotard of Power: Her official battle outfit. Considering it's made of high-grade monster materials and enchanted with powerful defensive magics, and does nothing to hinder her in any way, it's surprisingly effective at its role, and easy on the eyes too...
- Light 'em Up: Once she breaks past level 100, she learns light-based magic, which is quite rare in the world setting.
- Made a Slave: She was made a crime slave in the aftermath of Dolce's death.
- Playing with Fire: Her primary magic is fire. Training under Tsukuru in Bolf Forest, and getting served the Powerup Food he feeds her, based on the local monsters, allowed her to learn several others.
- Property of Love: The very first thing she does after Tsukuru frees her is demand he enslave her again, to be his exclusive slave. Nobody could talk her out of it, so Tsukuru fashions her a solid gold ring as proof of the commitment.
- Rosehaired Sweetie: She has pinkish hair and is a sweet girl who is entirely devoted to Tsukuru, to the point that she insists on being his slave, for life.
- Subordinate Excuse: She's madly in love with Tsukuru, and he's well aware of it, but she simply doesn't feel safe saying it unless she's bound to him by Indentured Servitude. In fact, she proclaims that if she's not his slave, she can't even see him! Paradoxically, this is what is keeping Tsukuru from reciprocating as he wants her to be his equal, not his Sex Slave.
- Through His Stomach: Justified. Tsukuru wins her over with his cooking, not just because it's delicious, but because it has healing properties that help her overcome the trauma involved in being a criminal slave.
- Training from Hell: Tsukuru has her face monsters in Bolf Forest, both to break her level limits and to level her up in a hurry, while watching closely so she doesn't get grievously injured or die. She pointedly does not like it.
Hannah
Hannah is on the far right
A maid that is convicted of attempted murder, for trying to poison Tsukuru, under the orders of Viscount Huser.- Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: She has straight up offered herself to Tsukuru, sexually, after becoming his crime slave, but she's aware he's got hang-ups about it.
- Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu: Literally. When she landed the finishing blow on a level 230 elephant monster, her arm exploded. Fortunately, Tsukuru's Hyperactive Metabolism food allows her to grow it back.
- Happiness in Slavery: Clearly in the "lesser evil" category. She is guilty of a capital offense, attempted murder, so a life of indentured servitude under a good, kind master is clearly more than she deserves, even if she no longer has any human rights, and she herself acknowledges it.
- Hostage Situation: She didn't want to poison Tsukuru, but she was forced to do so with her sister Sanya held hostage.
- Innocent Fanservice Girl: For the same reason as Canaan. Even though she's well aware how horny her master Tsukuru is, she sees nothing wrong with stripping naked and changing in front of him, because that's the local custom when a crime slave is provided new clothing by her master, and asked to try it on.
- Little Bit Beastly: Has wolf ears atop her head, and a wolf's tail, but is otherwise human.
- Made a Slave: Was given to Tsukuru as a crime slave, as penance for trying to poison him.
- Meido: She was trained as a maid.
- Ninja Maid: When Tsukuru asks what kind of combat equipment suits her best, she replies "a maid outfit" so he fashions her one composed of Emperor Dragon Hide. She quickly becomes a One-Woman Army.
- Undying Loyalty: Swears total fealty to Tsukuru after he rescued her sister Sanya from Viscount Huser.
Sanya
As she looked when rescued from Count Huser.
Hannah's sister.- Dark and Troubled Past: She wasn't captured and taken prisoner recently. She was held in a dungeon under Viscount Huser's mansion for at least five years, no exposure to sunlight and grossly underfed, in a cage without the facilities to even relieve herself properly, so Tsukuru finds her covered in all her bodily waste when he comes to the rescue. Fortunately, he had already prepared a [Clean] skill that allowed him to clean her up, thus preventing the logical bio-hazard situation.
- Hell-Bent for Leather: Her favorite gear is a light leather armor.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Gets killed taking a blow for Tsukuru when Hagen Temas attacks them all.
- Hostage Situation: She was the hostage to force Hannah into trying to poison Tsukuru.
- Little Bit Beastly: Like her sister, she has wolf ears atop her head.
- One Degree of Separation: She was a close relative of Tsukuru, who was summoned to this new world by the demons, turned into a demon, fled the battle to be killed by a "hero", resurrected into Sanya and then got murdered by Temas while protecting Tsukuru. GEESH!
- Shameless Fanservice Girl: Subverted. Like the others, she sees nothing wrong with changing her gear in front of Tsukuru. Unlike the others, she wears clothing under it.
- Spared by the Adaptation: Foregone Conclusion. In an advertising campaign, the author states that she survives in the light novel, while she does not in the web novel.
- Undying Loyalty: Swears total allegiance to Tsukuru in return for rescuing her and treating Hannah kindly, despite the fact that Hannah tried to poison him.
- You Remind Me of X: In the light novel, the moment Tsukuru picks her up out of Count Hussel's cage, he cries out "Ayumi", the name of his younger sister that died in a traffic accident, because, aside from the animal features, her face looks identical to the girl. There's a reason for that.
Anthia
Who dares trespass in Bolf Forest?!
The High-elf queen.- Adaptational Badass: She is still a level 415 menace, but she's faster, fiercer, and smarter in a fight, but lost in a straight up fight with Tsukuru who got an even bigger adaptational level in badass.
- Best Her to Bed Her: In the light novel version, she considers Tsukuru her husband because he defeated her in a straight up fight.
- Blow You Away: In the light novel reboot, she attacks with wind-based magic, invisible to the naked eye.
- Clothing Damage: In the light novel, she hurls wind-blades at Tsukuru damaging his clothing, and he retaliates with Black Mist/Black Fog, shredding hers in return, until she winds up naked in front of him, and still keeps shamelessly going until she loses one of her lives by taking a stab to the heart.
- Curbstomp Battle: Completely overwhelmed Tsukuru in their fight, leaving him in tatters, on the brink of death.
- Curb-Stomp Cushion: She would have killed Tsukuru with ease, except she got careless and grabbed him. He retaliated with [Dismantle] and if she didn't have the [Second Life] skill, would have been reduced to Ludicrous Gibs, making it a Mutual Kill.
- Defeat Means Friendship: She considers Tsukuru using [Dismantle] on her, taking away one of her Video-Game Lives as her loss, and becomes friendly to him as a result.
- Heel–Face Turn: Goes from being extremely and irrationally antagonistic towards Tsukuru to becoming one of his strongest allies.
- Hidden Elf Village: Discussed. She states that the purpose of Bolf Forest dungeon is to protect her elf village from human intrusion, and she's none to pleased that Tsukuru rampaged through the forest dungeon, even if it was in self-defense.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: In the light novel, her own use of wind magic shreds the magic ring Tsukuru's wearing that allows Canaan to see him. This renders him invisible and undetectable to Anthia too, and he exploits the opening she created to get around behind her and stab her through the heart.
- Removed Achilles' Heel: Because she married Tsukuru and adventures with him, gaining his blessing, her [Second Life] skill transcends to [Third Life], resets her 100 year cooldown, and diminishes further cooldowns from 100 years to one day and increases her Video-Game Lives from two to three.
- Time Dissonance: She has such a long life-span that she sees a century or two the same way a human would see a brief walk in the park. So hanging out with Tsukuru until he dies would be no issue at all.
- Wound That Will Not Heal: She can inflict this on her enemies. Her attacks can negate the effect of [Super Regeneration] and healing magic. Fortunately for Tsukuru, his Hyperactive Metabolism food ability is neither, allowing him to recover, to her shock.
Suzuno Ichinose
We will meet again, right Tsukuru?
The one classmate who would willingly give Tsukuru the time of day.- Adaptational Early Appearance: In the light-novel, she shows up briefly in volume 1 as she and the rest of the "heroes" bought alongside her are shown training in the Rade Crude Empire.
- The Bus Came Back: Returns to the story in volume 4, along with the rest of the class, right smack in the middle of the horrors of war, not just with demons, but with all the non-humans that the countries who bought them were fighting against.
- Childhood Friend Romance: What she claims she has with Tsukuru, as to try and assert her dominance.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: Once she meets up again with Tsukuru, and she sees he's got a Battle Harem, she gets real clingy, real jealous, and really possessive, real quick.
- Crippling Overspecialization: In the side-chapter of the light-novel, she's shown "training" with the rest of the class that was sold to the same country as her, the Rade Crude Empire. She's forced to use healing magic until she drops while everyone else gets actual combat training.
- Green-Eyed Monster: When Canaan and Hannah, who are both very attractive women, profess themselves to be Tsukuru's slaves, she gets really icy, until the situation's fully explained to her, and then she goes Clingy Jealous Girl mode.
- Lethal Chef: She was strictly forbidden from handling any of the equipment in Home-Ec because her actions always resulted in disaster, so she could only sit back and watch.
- Light Is Good: She's a [Holy Maiden] and is a sweet, nice girl who would have stayed with Tsukuru and helped him if she had any choice in the matter.
- Nice Girl: Sweet, polite, and always treated Tsukuru gently.
- Only Friend: Back on Earth, she's the only person who would willingly give Tsukuru the time of day, in person. The rest of his "friends" only interacted with him through on-line chat.
- School Idol: The original web-novel lists her as one of the three class beauties. The other two don't get a mention.
- Self-Proclaimed Love Interest: She insists that she's had a Childhood Friend Romance with Tsukuru, the moment she found herself competing with his harem, when the boy himself made no mention of it, nor was there any prior hint nor foreshadowing. Seeing as Tsukuru needs her on good terms to deal with the alien war he and his class were dragged into, he never bothers to counter her.
- Shrine Maiden: Her transmigration granted class.
- Warrior Monk: After a bit of combat training from Hannah, she goes this route, and is very effective in battle for it.
- With This Ring: When she joins his harem, she gets a ring of orichalcum!
Familiars:
Beeze
As you will, My lord.
A lich Sumeragi summons to help investigate Dolce's murder and prove Canaan's innocence. It has served him faithfully ever since.- Crazy-Prepared: When investigating Dolce's murder, Beeze doesn't only collect all the documents and letters proving Canaan's innocence and the true guilty parties. Beeze collects hard evidence of all the Dirty Business, just in case. When the feudal lord comes to Tsukuru, questing him to find said evidence, because he wanted the king involved, so as to deal with the mastermind who orchestrated the conspiracy, Tsukuru accepts and then hands over the documents, highlighting all the criminal activity.

A doppleganger lord Tsukuru summons as part of dealing with his assigned mission of destroying this alien world's ability to summon "heroes" from Earth, permanently, if possible.
- Kill and Replace: Summons lesser dopplegangers to parasitize and absorb the corrupt and highly racist leaders of the nations that had Tsukuru's class summoned and then sold to them, not just to deal with demon king invasions, but as enforcers to violently settle petty grudges with other nations, even each other.

Classmates:
Kai Saruyama
One of the few students to have a speaking role before the auction.
- Adapted Out: His screen-time in the web-novel is skipped over entirely.
- Dumb Muscle: Tsukuru describes him as "a simple idiot" in the narration.
- Entitled to Have You: Towards Suzuno, and he's only one of many.
- Warrior Monk: He's granted the job [Holy Warrior] as a result of transmigration.
Takashima “Steel Fang” Kouga
One of the few other named classmates.
- Demoted to Extra: The manga only has him shoved around by the knights. In the web-novel, he asks what's going on, and is then beat up.
- Dumb Muscle: All he's got going for him is raw strength.
- Jerk Jock: Introduced picking his nose and acting like he owns the place when the class finds itself summoned.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Because he abused his job and levels to set himself and his closest buddies as tyrants in Dell, Tsukuru uses [Equivalent Exchange] to change his job to [Villager] and resets him to level 1, then leaves him to his own devices. Good luck surviving the retribution from those you've exploited, kid.
- Red Baron: "Steel Fang."
- Too Dumb to Live: He tries to shove his way through armored knights armed with swords. If he wasn't being auctioned, the chances he'd survive such a thing are slim and none, with slim packing up to move out of town.
Kazuki Fujisaki
- The Berserker: His transmigration granted class. Once he smells blood, he goes into a battle frenzy and can't tell friend from foe.

Hideo Kujou
The class president.
- Adaptational Villainy: In the original web-novel, he was just a cowardly blow-hard who turned his fellow classmates into monsters and set them loose on the demons so he can escape. In the light novel, he's all that and starts going after innocent towns and villages, pillaging and plundering, aiming to make himself a king, with his gang of sycophants as various nobles.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Back in Japan, he pretended to be a good and model student so he could get perks and authority. Once he's out of sight of his army commanders, and he deserts, he shows his true character, a smug and arrogant despot who sees himself as a king and his sycophantic followers as useful tools.
- Class Representative: Used to be the class president before being summoned.
- Dirty Coward: When the battle started getting tough, he saw nothing wrong with abandoning allies, feeding them dangerous power-up drugs, or sacrificing his classmates to save himself.
- Holy Hand Grenade: One of three classes that grants [Holy] attributes to attacks.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Just like Kouga, he's stripped of his job and levels, turned into a villager and left to his own devices right in the thick of the people he's abused.
- Light Is Not Good: He's granted the [Sword Saint] class for transmigrating, and he's a total coward who flees, caring not a whit about allies, when things start getting dangerous for him.
Kaito Sorayama
A heinous "hero" from Japan who lost his sanity as a result of being enslaved in Rade Crude Empire.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Because of the fact that he repeatedly sexually abused, tortured and murdered children, Tsukuru doesn't even give him a choice of going back to Japan. He's stripped of his job, perks, and levels and then literally thrown out of the Demon King's castle, left to fend for himself, among a race that has good reason to hate him. Oh, boy.
- Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil: He spends his monster-hunting earning buying up beast-man female slaves under 10 years old, bathes them the first night, rapes them the second night, tortures them the third night, and by the fourth night, they can't scream any more.
- Vetinari Job Security: Because he's a lauded "hero", nothing is ever done on behalf of the beast-man slaves he purchases and abuses.
- Would Hurt a Child: The beast-man slaves he buys are all cute girls under 10.
Antagonists:
Hagen Temas
Time to die, Garbage Hero!
The "shitty priest" responsible for transmigrating Tsukuru and his class to this alien world and then selling them off.- Adaptational Wimp: In the original web-novel, he alone was able to entirely lock-down and curbstomp Tsukuru's entire party, only backing off after Antia told him to cool it. In the new light novel, he brought an army of acolytes, and Tsukuru's party easily trounced them without Antia having to lift a finger.
- An Arm and a Leg: Tsukuru chops off his leg in volume 2 when the two meet again.
- But for Me, It Was Tuesday: He's been summoning and discarding people for so long, Tsukuru's face didn't register when they meet again in the light novel. Tsukuru had to pin him down at sword-point for a while before it dawned on him why Tsukuru had a grudge.
- Dirty Coward: He talks a big game when he think's he's in the superior position, but he folds like a house of cards the instant he thinks he's in trouble and runs the first chance he gets.
- Dishing Out Dirt: Uses earth-based magic and swims through the soil like a fish swims through water.
- Evil Old Folks: He's quite elderly and is an evil sod who kidnaps people en masse, from alternate worlds and then sells them off in an auction.
- Fantastic Racism: Entirely human supremacist and xenophobic. He may summon "heroes" from other worlds, but he holds them in contempt, seeing them as livestock to auction, at best.
- Fate Worse than Death: Once Tsukuru is done with him, rather than kill him and risk another [Ancient Breed] showing up, he gets hurled into another dimension, to a world where he's all alone, with no way back, just like he did with Captobleas. Now he knows what it's like to be treated like trash and dumped into an alien landscape, without any help.
- Faux Affably Evil: His words are always calm and polite, but completely drip with sarcasm and contempt.
- Hulking Out: When he's completely cornered, he injects himself with an improved version of the super-serum that he had Kojou test on other summoned "heroes" and becomes a mass of muscle. This ends in a hurry when Tsukuru pins him down and reverses the transformation by force-feeding him a piece of recovery food.
- Irrational Hatred: To the extreme! Because Tsukuru didn't sell, he spent a massive buttload of mana to open a gate, dropping him in Bolf Forest, but even that wasn't enough. When word gets back to him that Tsukuru is living peacefully in the town of Algiar nearby, he rounds up a massive monster army, composed of hundreds of monsters, the weakest of which is level 150, with three level 300 Emperor Dragons, and personally marches them all to Algiar with the purpose of annihilating the entire town and everyone in it. Then when Tsukuru and his freshly minted Battle Harem stop the monsters, attacks and tries to straight up murder Tsukuru in person, only to be stopped by the elf Antira, whom Tsukuru befriended before.
- Laser-Guided Karma: After being hurled through a magic portal to an unknown and completely uninhabited world, with all his schemes and machinations destroyed, he fully understands what it's like to be treated like trash and disposed of.
- Miniature Senior Citizens: He's half Tsukuru's size and is quite elderly.
- Pintsized Powerhouse: Half Tsukuru's size, and a whopping level 420!
- Revenge Myopia: When Tsukuru manages to track him down, corner him so he can't run, and completely destroys his plans and goals in retaliation for all his nastiness, he screams and howls that Tsukuru's actions are unforgivable and demanding vengeance.
- Speak Ill of the Dead: Mocks Sanya's Heroic Sacrifice, sarcastically saying "ah, such loyalty. The beast people giving up their lives for their beloved master" and then laughing as if he's just said the funniest joke, ever.
- Stupid Evil: He goes and preaches human-supremacy to the human kingdoms and empires, while the world is facing a threat so huge that all the races put together can barely slow it down. In fact, the reason the local gods tell him to keep summoning more and more humans is to hopefully, maybe, find an "Awakened Hero" to master light magic and stem the tide before all life on the planet is destroyed.
- Superhuman Trafficking: His job in the story is kidnapping people from other worlds, which grants them super-powers, and then selling them to the highest bidder.
- A Tragedy of Impulsiveness: Since he never bothered to check Tsukuru's sub-skills, something the boy could not hide at the time, and made no mention of it at the auction, the boy would not sell, even at the low price of 10,000. If he had simply put forth a little more effort in marketing, one or more of the attendees might have well wanted to bid...
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: If you are of no use to him, he has no problem throwing you away or sacrificing you the first chance he gets.
Dockum
The count who tried to buy Canaan from Sidel and would have if Tsukuru hadn't been there and was browsing her first...
- Ambition Is Evil: In addition to framing Canaan out of petty jealousy, he also sided with Count Huser in the hopes of getting a noble title.
- Assassins Are Always Betrayed: Not him, but the three assassins he hired, through Gavin, from the slums. Rather than pay them money, and worry about them either turning around and blackmailing him later, or letting their tongues wag in a moment of weakness, he kills them outside of town and lets monsters eat them. Little did he know that there are magics to summons souls.
- Attack Backfire: He punches Tsukuru in the face, only to break all the bones in his hand.
- Did Not Think This Through: He "accidentally" kills his partner in crime, Gavin, while the latter is trying to escape, expecting Plausible Deniability to protect him. Unfortunately, he did this after seeing the souls of his past victims being summoned and used to testify against him for his part in the conspiracy.
- Frame-Up: He's part of the conspiracy that framed Canaan for the murder of Dolce.
- Green-Eyed Monster: The reason he agreed to frame Canaan is that he was jealous of the rising apprentice's talent, and wanted her "removed at the root" so she could never surpass him.
- Made Out to Be a Jerkass: He punches Tsukuru in the face, breaking his hand, and then tells the nearest knight that Tsukuru punched him instead. He gets informed that that can't possibly be true, because if Tsukuru had punched him, he'd have lost his entire arm.
- Make It Look Like an Accident: Sent a trio of assassins after Tsukuru. Tsukuru was more than a match for all three of them at once.
- Off with His Head!: How he pays for his part in the conspiracy to murder Dolce and pin the crime on Canaan.
- Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: Used his aristocratic title and connection to Viscount Husel to try and browbeat Sidel into selling him Canaan. Sidel, however, had higher connections to the Town Lord, and pointed to Tsukuru saying "first come, first serve" selling Canaan to Tsukuru instead.
- Stupid Evil: Which Tsukuru lampshades. His arrogance, greed, envy, and petty ambitions that led to betraying the count he worked under, and murdering the heir, Dolce, were bound to turn around and bite him sooner or later. He did show some rare flashes of prudence and cunning by taking precautions, such as murdering Dolce's assassins so they couldn't testify against him in court later, and not leaving a paper trail back to himself, but this would have only served to, at best, delay his comeuppance, not stop it. Attacking Tsukuru just sped up the process of his demise.
- Vetinari Job Security: What he thought he had, which is why he loved to throw his weight around. Once hard evidence of his misdeeds came to light, he realized, too late, that what he really had was Karma Houdini Warranty that just expired.
Gavin
The top knight under Dockum.
- Assassins Are Always Betrayed: Hired three hoodlums from the slums to attack and kill Dolce, and then set them up so Dockum could kill them.
- Implausible Deniability: Tries to say that Tsukuru was framing him with magic tricks when evidence that the souls in the room are in fact executioners who killed Dolce under his orders and point the finger at him.
- Off with His Head!: Gets his head vaporized by Dockum's fireball. Unfortunately for Dockum, Tsukuru summons his soul back so he can be interrogated regarding the murder.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Tries to flee when he realizes the jig is up. He doesn't get anywhere.
Count Huser
A rival to the Abbas family, who wants to take over their lands for his own greed.
- Ambition Is Evil: Engaged in a great deal of villainy to depose the Abbas house and take over their lands, just to improve his peerage.
- Aristocrats Are Evil: Of his on-screen crimes are kidnapping, illegal imprisonment, blackmail,and numerous counts of murder and attempted murder. Off-screen, he's also guilty of illegal human trafficking. He's also an aristocrat with at least as much pull as the Abbas family.
- Dystopia: The land he rules is truly lop-sided. He decks out his mansions, palaces, and wardrobe with opulence, flaunting how personally wealthy he is, while his citizens suffer crippling tax rates and crackdowns from the soldiers in his employ. Then in response to getting his coffers cleaned out, he raises the tax rates even higher, to the point that his people either flee or starve to death...
- From Bad to Worse: When Tsukuru cleaned out his coffers as part of self-proclaimed "compensation" for what Sanya was put through, as well as for being inconvenienced himself, Hussel turned around and raised the taxes on his citizens by truly punitive amounts. In response, his citizens fled the area to avoid being starved to death, especially the farmers who were suffering a 70% tax rate before Tsukuru showed up, and were slapped with an additional 20%. In response to that, Husser's soldiers cracked down to try and prevent the people from fleeing...
- Greater-Scope Villain: He's the one pulling the strings in Dolce's murder, just to destabilize the Abbas family.
- I Have Your Wife: If he can't tempt you with your base desires, he will kidnap people you care about and use them hostage, like Rotten's wife and son, and Hannah's sister Sanya.
- Spell My Name With An S: "Huser" "Hussel" "Husel" the name changes from chapter to chapter and translator to translator, without a fixed pattern.
Crafton
The king of the giants.
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Over 100 meters tall and invariably hostile.
- Blood Knight: Fights and kills for fun.
- Canon Foreigner: He didn't even exist in the original web-novel.
- Dumb Muscle: Dumber than a box of rocks, but insanely strong. In fact, calling him a muscle-head is a compliment!
- Fate Worse than Death: Like Temas, he gets sent to another world, all alone.
- Killed Offscreen: When Illome rises up as the new [Ancient Breed] of the giant race, it tips off Tsukuru that this lout died, but since he was already in another world at this point, the particulars of his death are not known.
- Killing Intent: Emits a crazy amount of blood-lust as he descends upon Bolf
- That's No Moon: When he's first seen, he's mistaken for a meteor. When he crashes, he's mistaken for a mountain. Then he stands up and starts moving...
- Video-Game Lives: Like Anthia, he has the [Second Life] skill.
Shamile
The [Ancient Breed] of the undead race.
- Accidental Truth: He cons the dark elf race into offering up human sacrifices by promising that doing so will eventually summon a Demon King to help with their plight. The fact that the dark elves are involved in this activity allows Beeze to pinpoint the temple where it happens, find the "hero" summoning chamber run by the undead race, and bring Tsukuru there. By this point, Tsukuru is a "Demon King" thanks to Shamile's own actions!
- Forced Transformation: He can do this to anyone he antagonizes into attacking him if the victim is of a lower level. He turns Kurogiri into a sword and then a random lump of man-eating flesh when the latter comes at him in revenge for wiping out his loved ones on a whim, and then retaliating with Tsukuru's aid, respectively.
- For the Evulz: The only reason he does anything is to amuse himself by engaging in atrocious acts.
- Hungry Weapon: His scythe grows stronger the more souls he feeds it.
- Power Copying: He can change his fighting style based on the style of the warriors whose souls he shoved into his scythe.
- Revenge Myopia: He does a great deal of nastiness purely for his own amusement, but when his victims, particularly Kurogiri (Black Fog) and Tsukuru, come at him in return and actually manage to hurt him, he starts screaming for vengeance.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: When he's soundly defeated and unable to run, Tsukuru and Kurogiri find him so pathetic that killing him would be a mercy, but letting him live would just let him go around hurting others for his amusement, and killing him runs the risk that someone even worse rises to be the new [Ancient Breed] for the undead race. So Tsukuru has Ichinose lock him in a cage of light until he fashions a [Seal] skill, which he then uses to lock this asshole in a gem for the dark-elves to keep custody of. What he doesn't tell the dark-elves is that the gem shows him how it feels to suffer by inflicting their grudges on him for all the people he had sacrificed for his amusement and to power-up his Hungry Weapon.
- Sinister Scythe: When cornered, he can wield a scythe that gets stronger the more souls he feeds it.
- The Sociopath: He has no empathy for anyone else, goes into a screeching fit when he's on the losing end of the fight he instigated, and can only find amusement in harming others.
Other Nobles
Alterias Abbas
Hello, Sumeragi-dono. Thanks for the timely rescue.
- And Now You Must Marry Me: In the late chapters of the web-novel, she sets things up so Tsukuru has to marry her.
- Blue Blood: Daughter of the town lord.
- Childhood Friends: With Canaan.
- I Owe You My Life: If not for Tsuruku, she would have been killed, or worse, by bandits.
- Little Bit Beastly: She has fox ears and tail.
Count Abbas
Allie's father, and the one who both rewarded Tsukuru for rescuing Allie from robbers and hired him to investigate the true culprits in Dolce's death.
- Blue Blood: Inherited the Abbas title and peerage.
- Nice to the Waiter: The servants are treated well in his home.
- Papa Wolf: He could not contain his rage when he learned who was truly responsible for Dolce's death, and almost had to be physically restrained.
- This Means War!: When he learned the mastermind is Count Huser, he told his top retainer, Goliath, to prepare for war.
- Unstoppable Rage: Most of the time, he's unflappable, but when the real killers of his son and he are in the same room, he has to be held down so he doesn't murder them himself.
Gods: Warning! Spoilers ahead!
Amaterasu
Please, have some tea, Tsukuru-san
The goddess who cast her blessings upon Tsukuru.- Adaptational Early Appearance: In the original web-novel, she doesn't enter the story until volume 8. In the light-novel, she opens volume 2 with her P.O.V. about the mass-kidnapping of Tsukuru and 107 of his classmates.
- A Form You Are Comfortable With: Takes on the form of a high-school aged girl, so Tsukuru would be at ease speaking with her.
- God's Hands Are Tied: Wanted very much to stop the class from being summoned, but couldn't without the energies being used in the summoning spell going awry and blowing up the entire country of Japan and subsequently triggering an extinction level event for the rest of the Earth.
- It's Personal: She secretly blesses Tsukuru to be her instrument in striking back at the gods of this new world because they repeatedly engage in mass-kidnapping events in her territory, and nowhere else, then turn around and act like it's someone else's problem, refusing to deal with any of the collateral damage they cause, even if the destruction of Earth via this crime would ultimately doom their own world too.
- Ret-Gone: An unavoidable side-effect of repairing the world-threatening fissure caused by the summoning erases the entire history of everyone who was summoned to this new world alive. Summons that target the disembodied spirits of the dead to be reincarnated don't suffer this fate.
