Leadership
Arisa Kuhouin
President Arisa Kuhouin
Voiced by: Aya Endo (Japanese), Caitlin Glass (English)
The student council president.
Her Void is a sphere-shaped shield that can separate and eliminate attacks.
- Arranged Marriage: In Episode 16, her grandfather planned to give her to the leader of the Ming Hua Group as a wife in exchange for his help determining the future of Japan, and Argo is sent to retrieve her. The plan falls apart, though.
- Ascended Extra: Appeared in all of a single episode on her own before joining with the rest of Shu's friends in his rush to save Inori. Though she would become an antaognist later on.
- Beware the Nice Ones: After Inori's attack on her (and her own belief that it was out punishment for trying to go against Shu), she decides to create a coup d'etat with the student body against Shu and succeeds.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Her niceness hides a ruthless personality behind it.
- Break the Cutie: Getting attacked by Inori really did a number on her.
- Broken Bird: Is completely delusional after the events of Episode 16.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: She does not like Inori because of her closeness to Gai.
- Deflector Shields: Her Void.
- Disney Death: It appeared as though she was killed off by Inori in Episode 16, but Episode 17 reveals that she's still alive and merely had her hand injured. She is shot in Episode 22 and is seemingly dead until she is shown with Da'at members, still alive but wounded.
- Enemy Mine: She tentatively teams up with Shu in Episode 19 to look for Haruka.
- Face–Heel Turn: She turns the school against Shu before joining Gai.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Beautiful, a prestigious Ojou and very rightful. Eventually subverted after her Face–Heel Turn.
- Imaginary Love Triangle: She has deluded herself into thinking that she's competing with Inori for Gai.
- Karma Houdini: Despite turning on Shu and leaving everyone defenseless, Arisa gets off scot-free. Though this may be averted as the last we see of her is watching the GHQ Headquarters collapse while she and other Da'at survivors are surrounded by armed UN soldiers, she's most likely imprisoned.
- Murder the Hypotenuse: Although never outright stated, it's very clear that she wishes to kill Inori after finding out that Gai seems to need her more. Were it not for being surrounded by many people who would most definitely have objected, and the fact that Inori embodies Beware the Quiet Ones, she likely would have not succeeded.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Arisa's plan to usurp Shu not only left everyone completely defenseless when GHQ showed up after the battle was over, but also gave someone that clearly Came Back Wrong the chance to steal the Void Genome.
- Sex for Services: At her lowest, a desperate Arisa sleeps with Nanba to ensure the success of her plot against Shu's tyranny.
- Ship Tease: She seems to develop a small crush on Gai after meeting him, but nothing ever comes of it. When Gai returns, she views him as a savior and is jealous of Inori.
- Stepford Smiler: Shows signs of this. Naturally, her Void ends up being Deflector Shields.
- Stone Wall: Easily holds off several men armed with full auto machine guns for several minutes.
- Student Council President: She serves as Tennouzu High School's leader of the student government. At least, initially. Due to her inability to appease the student body after the Lockdown, they decide to elect a new student council president—Shu.
- Subordinate Excuse: She only joins the Da'at to be close to Gai.
- Yandere: Post-Face–Heel Turn, she becomes this to Gai. She desires to be useful to Gai, is jealous of Inori due to her relationship with Gai, and wants to know everything about him.
- You Monster!: Inori is called by Arisa, along with revived!Gai in Episode 18.

- Broken Bird: Hare's death and the changes in the school reduce her to a sobbing wreck.

Students

Tsugumi
Hare Menjou
Hare Menjou
Voiced by: Yu Shimamura (Japanese), Tia Ballard (English)
Shu's classmate. She has feelings for Shu.
Her Void is a long white bandage that can heal anything.
- Anguished Declaration of Love: To Shu in Episode 10. She does it again in Episode 15 before they are interrupted.
- Betty and Veronica: The Betty to Inori's Veronica. In contrast to the alluring, emotionless and mysterious singer and member of La Résistance Inori, Hare is a completely ordinary girl from Shu's class and her naturally gentle personality helps Shu feel at ease.
- Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: Nobody is as considerate and understanding to Shu as Hare is, so he seeks her comfort when he's troubled.
- Curtains Match the Window: She has matching brown hair and brown eyes.
- Died in Your Arms Tonight: Subverted that by the time Shu gets her in his arms, she's already dead, but it is when she's in his arms that her crystallization state finalizes and she disappears.
- Dogged Nice Girl: Towards Shu.
- Futile Hand Reach: As she dies, Hare reaches to hold Shu's hand, but expires before she can do so.
- Girlish Pigtails: She ties her hair into cute pigtails, fitting her girly and friendly character.
- Go Out with a Smile: She smiles at Shu in her final moments, being glad that she was able to save him.
- The Heart: After the lockdown goes into effect, she has this effect on the main group of students.
- Heart Is an Awesome Power: Her Void can heal anything.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Heals Shu rather than herself and bleeds out. Her Void getting shot then causes the Apocalypse Virus to rapidly manifest itself and her corpse shatters shortly thereafter.
- Longing Look: Tends to eye up Shu a lot.
- The Lost Lenore: She dies in the middle of the series while saving Shu's life. The grief over it triggers a drastic change in Shu's behavior.
- The Medic: Shu extracts her Void whenever someone needs healing.
- Nice Girl: She's the nicest person in Shu's life and treats everyone kindly, including her love rival.
- Replacement Goldfish: Shu uses her in this fashion during his Heroic BSoD when everyone in Funeral Parlor, including Inori, leaves him. Initially, she tries to support Shu in any way she can, but she eventually calls him out on it. In Episode 11, Shu seemingly reciprocates, or at least treats her with a great deal of kindness for it.
- Too Good for This Sinful Earth: She's possibly the most kind-hearted character in the entire cast. Of course, she's killed off for all the drama and angst it brings Shu.
- Undying Loyalty: While not as vocal about it as Inori, Hare is very loyal to Shu. She's the only one of his old friends to wholeheartedly support him as student council president, right up until her death. Hare lampshades this in her speech about the "kind king," which represented Shu—while everybody else became dissatisfied with the king and eventually rebelled against him, she supported him because she saw the good in him.
- Unknown Rival: She considers Inori her rival for Shu's affections. Inori vaguely notices her existence.
- Walking Techfix: Since her Void isn't limited to healing organic beings, it can fix robots, vehicles and edifications too.
Souta Tamadate
Souta Tamadate
Voiced by: Daisuke Sakaguchi (Japanese), Corey Cleary-Stoner (English)
Shu's classmate and a member of the motion picture research club. A big fan of Inori.
His Void is a strange camera that can open anything it photographs.
- Anguished Declaration of Love: He nearly confesses to Inori in Episode 8 when Shu drops in to extract his Void.
- Art Evolution: After crossing the Despair Event Horizon mentioned below, he visually appears much older, even though his character design is unchanged.
- Bromantic Foil: To Shu.
- Curtains Match the Window: He has black hair and black eyes.
- Despair Event Horizon: Crossed it after Hare's death and the Void Ranking System. Every appearance since has had him as an empty shuddering shell of the person he used to be.
- The Dog Bites Back: The moment Hare died and Shu turned Fallen Hero, life has been hell for Souta. Come Episode 17...
- Dogged Nice Guy: Towards Inori.
- Fanboy: Of Egoist and Inori.
- The Friend Nobody Likes: Souta is flawed, he can be obnoxious and reckless, but the gang seems to keep him around because he has good intentions.
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Towards Inori.
- Keet: Has shades of this.
- Leeroy Jenkins: While Shu and the others try to plan how to get into a hospital to get vaccine, he and the other "F"-ranked students rush there first in order to prove that their Voids are useful. It's deconstructed since doing so led to Hare's death.
- Mundane Utility: Shu can use his Void to great effectiveness, but Souta can only use it to open cans of food.
- My God, What Have I Done?: He blames himself for Hare's death, as he was the one who told her to heal the car that exploded when Daryl attacked them in the first place. Shu agrees with him and proceeds to punch him repeatedly.
- My Greatest Failure: Causing Hare's death.
- Nice Guy: Unlike Yahiro, it's genuine. Even though his plans often end in disaster, the kid hasn't got a malicious bone in his body.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero:
- In Episode 13, his idea to cheer up the other students by hosting a fair, while admittedly a good one, is what pushes a group of disgruntled refugees to attack the school.
- In Episode 15, the "F"-ranked students and he attempt to retrieve vaccines at a hospital to prove their Voids are useful to Shu. Shu and Hare pursue them, and they all end up getting surrounded by Anti Bodies. The end result is Hare getting killed.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red Oni to Yahiro's Blue Oni.
- Wrong Genre Savvy: His plans would work in some universes. This one just ends up with Hare getting killed.
Yahiro Samukawa
Yahiro Samukawa
Voiced by: Takahiro Mizushima (Japanese), David Trosko (English)
"I'm not going to apologize. This is an absurd, unfair world."
Shu's classmate and a member of the motion picture research club.
His Void is an odd pair of shears with the power to end life.
- Big Brother Instinct: Subverted in that his Void reflects his inward resentment, as he secretly views his brother as a burden.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Just when you think Shu and he have solved their issues and made up... he sells Shu out to the GHQ.
- Face–Heel Revolving Door: Whether or not he's on Shu's side may as well be a coin toss. He starts out as Shu's "friend", but is secretely a drug dealer that witnessed Shu use the Void Gene, prompting Shu to confront him and the two to agree not to expose each others secrets. Then he backstabs Shu by ratting him out to the GHQ, but then goes into hiding to protect his little brother and came to Shu for help. After his brother and Hare died, he lies to Shun about the cause for the latter and supports his rule as Student Council President while urging him to use a Void ranking system, which furthers Shu's fall from grace. Then, disturbed at how far Shu is taking it, he tries making him see reason but gets cast out instead, leading him to turn a blind eye during Arisa's coup on Shu. By the end, he does help with the evacuations, but he still gets off relatively easy and is Easily Forgiven by Shu in the epilogue.
- Jerkass: Not only is he a jerk to Shu, he also sold him out to the GHQ.
- Knight Templar Big Brother: He's willing to sell out Shu and sell the Norma Gene drug to support his virus-infected younger brother.
- The Man Behind the Man: He is the driving force behind Shu's plans. Shu calls him out on this later. Yahiro denies it (or rather, attempts to justify it), as he claims to genuinely value Shu and wants to save people. Shu doesn't believe him.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero:
- His Void ranking system idea, though logical due to their shortage of supplies and need to properly defend themselves, ends up provoking those ranked useless to prove themselves, the Anti Bodies attack them when they attempt this, and Hare is killed in the crossfire. Good work there.
- He lied to Shu about how Hare died, saying that it was a genomic weapon, not the fact that her Void broke. Later when the other students find out that they can die if their Voids break, they believe that Shu was aware of this all along and rebel.
- One-Hit Kill: Those pliers of his basically give their wielder the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, allowing them to kill anything with a single blow if they aim it properly.
- Plague Master: His Void blows that don't score a One-Hit Kill, meanwhile, will infect anything they hit with the Apocalypse Virus, so you're pretty much out of luck either way. Yes, this includes machines like Endlaves.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Blue Oni to Souta's Red Oni.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Very pointedly failed to lift a finger during Arisa's coup, instead concentrating on helping with the evacuation effort.
- Ship Tease: Episode 13 implies that he reciprocates Kanon's feelings. Either that, or he was just being nice. Very, very nice.
- The Spock: Brings a harsh dose of reality to the school after the lockdown goes into effect. Even since then, his emotions seem to be completely under his control; the one time he has displayed overt emotion since was a calculated gesture to get Shu elected Student Council President.
- The Stool Pigeon: Of the Betrayer Barry variety. He ends up selling out Shu to secure treatment for his sick little brother. Especially jarring since Shu was under the impression that they had successfully talked over their differences.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: His days selling Norma Gene to pay for his brother's treatments, and likewise, the Void Ranking system. He knows there aren't enough resources to save everyone, thus the Void ranking system.
