  • Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: Gender-Inverted. Toori is the happy-go-lucky, ever-cheerful Energetic Guy and Horizon is the unemotional, no-nonsense Savvy Girl.
  • A Side Order of Romance: At the start of the series, Horizon (known then as P-01s) had been working as a waitress at the bakery Blue Thunder, which Toori's mother owns. Although neither were aware of her true identity at the time, Toori felt attracted to her because of her resemblance to the Horizon he knew as a kid, and he went to Blue Thunder to see her every day over the course of one year until he worked up the courage to confess to her.
  • Sleep Cute: At the end of the first arc, Toori and Horizon are seen sleeping next to each other while they're holding hands.

    Toori "Impossible" Aoi 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ksnh___toori_aoi.png
Voiced by: Jun Fukuyama (Japanese), Josh Grelle (English)

A carefree young man of utterly average talents. He was placed as President of the Musashi Ariadust Academy Student Council because he thought it'd be easy to control, and even recognizes himself as a poor leader. He doesn't seem to care much, and enjoys his role at his own leisure. He knows a lot of strip jokes and usually plays the idiot. Toori is also the energy of Class 3-Plum, literally: he acts like a living mana battery that can recharge and supply his companions with unlimited reserves, controlling a quarter of Musashi's ether supply.


  • Aggressive Submissive: Toori is one of the most overtly perverted characters in the series, yet he gets completely dominated by Horizon when they have sex, with her being on top the entire time. He even jokes about her defiling him.
  • All Work vs. All Play: All Play to Masazumi's All Work. Toori prefers to goof off and do perverted jokes before taking his Student Council duties seriously, leaving Masazumi to handle it almost entirely.
  • Attractive Bent-Gender: He looks pretty good in woman's clothing and has fun fooling men with this.
  • Back from the Dead: In the final light novels, Toori cries and his contract kills him. Asama and Nate then go to the spirit world where they perform a ceremony to resurrect Toori by having sex with his soul 1501 times between the two of them.
  • Butt-Monkey: If there's someone here that will always end up getting beaten up, that's Toori. However, he's kinda asking for it with his perversions.
  • Buxom Beauty Standard: He's a known boobs lover. When he writes down a love letter to P-01s/Horizon, his classmates are surprised he doesn't mention her bust size when describing the automaton's "positive traits". Toori then adds he wants to fondle her breasts before giving his opinion.
  • Childhood Friends: He has been friends with several of the members of Class 3-Plum since childhood; Asama, Nate, Suzu and Tenzou among them.
  • Chivalrous Pervert: He's a huge pervert who loves groping girls, but he genuinely cares about his female companions, especially Horizon and he only wants to create a better world for everyone and bring back the emotions of the woman he loves.
  • Conveniently Seated: He sits in the back seat next to the window.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: He saw his childhood crush getting run over by a carriage and dying right in front of him. To make it worse, the reason she got in the way of the carriage was because she was trying to get away from him after he insulted her cooking.
  • Deity of Human Origin: Near the end of the light novels, Toori dies after purposely breaking his contract by crying. He's resurrected via having sex with Asama and Nate 1501 times in the spirit world and inherits the name of Motonobu Matsudaira. Since Tokugawa Ieyasu is posthumously deified with the name of Tosho Daigongen, Toori is allowed to become a god.
  • Dogged Nice Guy: To Horizon. Despite her bluntly rejecting his love confession, he swears to stay by her side until she recovers all her emotions and she can properly answer his feelings. It works out for him as Horizon does learn to love him after she regains her lost emotions.
  • Embarrassing Nickname: He doesn't like to be called "Wet Man".
  • Fluffy Fashion Feathers: Has feathers adorning the shoulders of his uniform.
  • Futile Hand Reach: When Horizon died in front of him, Toori desperately jumped towards her and reached out his hand as Motonobu's carriage ran her over. Toori himself comments on the futility of his childhood self's hand reach as he watches the memory with the current Horizon.
  • The Gadfly: He constantly teases and annoys others with his goofiness.
  • The Heart: He is the one who encourages his crew whenever they feel down and gives them the will to keep figthing no matter what.
  • Heart Is an Awesome Power: His support powers don't mean much to his friends when they reside in the city and academy grounds of Musashi, as these places are rife with ether for their daily needs and training. Outside Musashi, however, Toori is the key to success, as he can supply his allies with infinite ether reserves to continue fighting without worry.
  • Heroic BSoD: At the end of the first volume, watching Horizon get taken away by the Testament Union and being unable to do anything to stop it apparently leaves him in a state of depression. Then it's subverted when it's shown he's still his usual cheerful self and was just mentally preparing himself to go rescue Horizon.
  • Hidden Depths: At first glance, Toori is just an idiotic pervert that no one could take seriously as Musashi's chancellor, but he's actually quite smart when the situation calls for it, serves as Musashi's energy source both figuratively and literally, and he has some deep emotional issues coming from losing the girl he loved and blaming himself for it.
  • Hope Bringer: Toori isn't smart enough to be a negotiator nor strong enough to be a fighter, but his followers are inspired by his charisma and refusal to give up despite being fully aware of his weaknesses. In fact, Toori took this role during his childhood, when he declared his dream was to become a king who would create a country where everyone in Musashi would be free to accomplish their dreams.
  • I Let Gwen Stacy Die: For many years, he felt responsible for Horizon's death, for the carriage accident wouldn't have happened if he hadn't chased after her.
  • Keet: He's loud, optimistic and full of energy. He literally does not know the meaning of "depressed". With good reason, too; Toori must always be in a jolly mood because if he ever stops being happy, his contract with the Asama Shrine will kill him.
  • Large Ham: He sure enjoys acting in a ridiculous over-the-top manner.
  • Legacy of Service: He comes from a family of loyal servants to the Matsudaira family.
  • Living Battery: When Toori gains the 1/4th governance status in Musashi as a Viceroy, he is given the authority to use 1/4th of the fuel of Divine State of Musashi. Since his contract allows him to share everything he owns with everyone, he can provide an almost endless energy supply for his comrades, improving their abilities to the fullest.
  • Lovable Sex Maniac: A complete pervert who shamelessly gropes and sexually harasses girls, even his own teacher. He also loves to read porn magazines and play eroge games. His perversions are always Played for Laughs and he only gets a few smacks as punishment.
  • Marry Them All: Toori is initially together only with Horizon, until she decides to share him with Asama and Nate so they can bring him more emotional support. While reluctant at first, Asama and Nate slowly but surely develop their intimacy with Toori until they finally give in and become his lovers, and he's happy to have them.
  • The McCoy: Always cheerful and optimistic, Toori is driven by his emotions and instincts.
  • More Insulting than Intended: When they were children, Horizon once tried making breakfast for Toori, but it tasted bad and he told her her cooking was terrible. Toori was shocked when Horizon started crying and chased after her, unfortunately resulting in the carriage accident that killed Horizon.
  • My Greatest Failure: He has always regretted not being able to save Horizon when they were kids. Made worse since she died because she was trying to get away from him after he insulted her cooking.
  • My Greatest Second Chance: For years, he deeply regretted causing the accident that killed Horizon and not being able to do anything to save her when she died in front of him. After he finds out Horizon has been resurrected as an automaton, Toori is determined to get his classmates' help in stopping her execution and saving her life so he doesn't have to watch her die a second time.
  • Naked People Are Funny: Toori likes to do goofy stuff while butt naked. For example, he uses the sword Excalibur for pole dancing.
  • Non-Action Protagonist: Toori is plenty lacking in the combat field. His main forte is motivating his much stronger allies, who do the actual fighting and negotiations in his place.
  • Non P.O.V. Protagonist: The novel is very rarely narrated from Toori's perspective, despite him being the main protagonist. Instead, the narrative alternates POV between other maijor characters, usually members of Class 3-Plum.
  • Non-Uniform Uniform: He wears a modified Musashi Ariadust Academy uniform with an upper garment resembling an overcoat with feathers adorning his shoulders.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity:
    • When debating against Masazumi Honda on rescuing Horizon Ariadust from the K.P.A. Italia, he took the stance of not rescuing Horizon, thereby forcing the more adept-at-debating Masazumi to take the opposite stance. Not pleasant, but actual debating does assign people to motions they should defend regardless of personal preference.
    • In episode 12, Horizon consigns herself to death; Toori argues against her views by using a parallel argument and convinces her to leave with him.
  • Perpetual Smiler: He rarely stops smiling, no matter what happens. Justified since if he ever stops being happy, he literally will die.
  • Personality Powers: He sure is energetic and his only "superpower" is literally charging the energy supplies of his allies.
  • The Pollyanna: There is nothing that can depress this guy. He will always see the bright side of things no matter what. Justified since as a condition to his contract to the Asama Shrine for his powers, being sad will literally kill him.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The carefree and outgoing Red Oni to Masazumi's more serious and reserved Blue Oni.
  • Resurrection Gambit: In the final volumes of the light novel, he and Horizon come up with a plan for him to be freed from the contract that prevents him from feeling anything but happy. Toori violates the contract on purpose by crying, which kills him. Asama and Nate travel to the spirit world and through a ceremony that requires them to have sex with Toori's soul 1501 times, they bring him back to life.
  • Robosexual: He is in love with Horizon, who became an automated doll after her death as a human.
  • Scars Are Forever: He has a scar circling his left shoulder.
  • Shameless Fanservice Guy: He goes around stark naked half the time, only covered with a Censor Box over his groin.
  • Smarter Than You Look: Despite his goofiness and perversion, Toori is quite sharp.
  • Spanner in the Works: If his move under Obfuscating Stupidity doesn't earn him this title, pantsing Masazumi and throwing off Pope President Innocentius' attempts to undermine her definitely does.
  • Student Council President: He is the president of the Musashi Ariadust Academy Student Council, which in this series equals to the position of a chancellor.
  • Supernaturally Young Parent: He's the father of Makiko, Hirano, Kasuya and Katagiri. His children look about the same age as him because they all came from the Bad Future.
  • Thanks for the Mammary: There's something of a Running Gag with him groping women's breasts without consent. Some of them include Makiko, Nate, Suzu and Horizon.
  • Too Unhappy to Be Hungry: After Horizon died in front of him when they were children, Toori refused to eat or drink until his sister Kimi forced him to eat and continue living.
  • Trauma Button: Before confessing to Horizon, he gathers the courage to visit Remorse Way, the place where he saw the original human Horizon die. The experience causes him so much stress and anguish that he goes Blue with Shock and looks like he's about to pass out when he runs into Masazumi at Remorse Way.
  • Unable to Cry: His contract with the Asama Shrine requires him to never cry or feel sad, otherwise he will die.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: The day Horizon died, she cooked breakfast for him, but he said it tasted terrible. Horizon ran away crying and Toori chased after her. As Horizon tried to get away from him, she got run over by a carriage which resulted in her death.
  • Useless Protagonist: Subverted. As his nickname "Impossible" suggests, there seems to be nothing Toori can do and his companions have to handle everything instead. However, Toori proves himself useful when he resupplies his companions' energy. Also, his Obfuscating Stupidity helps in some situations.
  • Weak Boss, Strong Underlings: He has the highest authority in the Musashi, but he's also the weakest member of Class 3-Plum and his much stronger underlings handle the fighting.
  • White Mage: A rare male protagonist example, as he buffs and resupplies his allies' energy.
  • Wholesome Crossdresser: He develops a penchant for crossdressing later on, such as wearing a Playboy Bunny costume, and it gets played up in comical moments.

    Horizon Ariadust / P-01s 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ksnh___p_01s.png
Voiced by: Minori Chihara (Japanese), Emily Neves (English)

An automated doll who randomly appeared on Musashi one day with no memories and was taken in by the bakery Blue Thunder's shopkeeper. She was employed at the bakery where Toori met her and soon became attracted to her because of her mysterious resemblance to his deceased childhood friend. During the night of the Mikawa Meltdown, it's revealed that Horizon's father, Motonobu Matsudaira, transferred her soul into the robotic body after her death. Her emotions are spread out into the Nine Deadly Sin Armaments, which Toori vows to gather for her.


  • Amnesiac Hero: She has no memories of her origins, her identity and her life as a human.
  • Body Backup Drive: She originally was a human girl, but she died in an unfortunate accident. Then, her father put her soul in a robotic body. Horizon has no memories of her life as a human, but according to the people who knew her, her personality is pretty much the same.
  • Character Signature Song: Tooshi Douka ("Song of Passage"), sung by Horizon repeatedly throughout the series.
  • Chaste Heroine: Since she is an automaton without emotions, matters like feelings and romance are confusing for her. She initially can't understand or reciprocate Toori's feelings for her, and doesn't know what having sex means. She eventually gets over the chaste part after gaining the Deadly Sin Armament of Lust and goes on to become the most sexually dominant of Toori's lovers.
  • The Comically Serious: She keeps her emotionless face even in the middle of comedic moments.
  • Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: After she died in an accident when she was a child, Horizon's father brought her back to life as an automaton, but her emotions were removed to install them into the Deadly Sin Armaments and she also lost her memories because these were given to P-01m AKA Nobunaga Oda. Due to this, she initially thinks and acts like a cold and logical computer, even though she still has a human soul. Subverted as she gradually gains back her emotions by downloading them from the Deadly Sin Armaments, causing her personality to become more humanlike over time.
  • Damsel in Distress: The plot truly kicks off when Horizon is arrested and sentenced to death by the Testament Union after her father Motonobu blows up the city of Mikawa with him still there. The second half of the first story arc is about Class 3-Plum saving Horizon from her execution.
  • Deadpan Snarker: She never misses the chance to snark at the situation, and Toori in particular.
  • Defrosting Ice Queen: Starts out as an Emotionless Girl without any interest in Toori and she doesn't want to regain her emotions since she thinks they will only hurt her. Toori eventually gets her to open up to him as he convinces her that she can feel positive emotions and she falls in love with him.
  • Devoted to You: In the 10 years that she was gone, Toori never forgot about Horizon and once he discovers she is still alive as an android, he readily declares war on the entire world to get his beloved's emotions back and see Horizon's smile again.
  • "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: Minori Chihara, Horizon's voice actress, sings the opening themes of both anime seasons.
  • Doppelgänger Replacement Love Interest: Toori fell in love with P-01s because she looks just like his deceased childhood friend Horizon would have looked grown up. It's soon revealed that P-01s is Horizon reborn in a robotic body, but she can't remember her life as a human. Toori still loves the current Horizon for who she is now.
  • The Eeyore: The first emotion she recovers is sadness, resulting in a rather gloomy and pessimistic disposition when she discusses with Toori that she doesn't want to get more negative emotions from the Deadly Sin Armaments. Toori gives her a more positive outlook when he points out that she's also regaining positive emotions to oppose the negative ones.
  • Emergent Human: A variation. Horizon is a human who was turned into an automaton, but lacking her original memories and emotions. By obtaining the Deadly Sin Armaments, she regains an emotion linked to one of the Seven Deadly Sins one by one. The process requires her to slowly adapt to thinking and feeling like a human instead of a purely logical machine, as the emotions she initially acquires are negative and she's developing positive emotions in reaction to them.
  • Emotionless Girl: She lacks emotions due to being an automated doll. She slowly gains emotions by synchronizing with the Deadly Sin Armaments.
  • Feel No Pain: Her automaton body automatically shuts off its senses in an area experiencing a sudden burst of pain. In consequence, she doesn't feel anything when she has sex with Toori for the first time.
  • Forgotten First Meeting: She is actually Toori's childhood friend Horizon who was revived in a robotic body, but she can't remember him.
  • Formal Characters Use Keigo: Horizon always speaks in a very formal manner, down to using the extermely respectful "-sama" honorific for everyone she speaks to.
  • Harem Seeker: Played in a very unusual way in later volumes of the light novel, since Horizon seeks to form a harem for her boyfriend Toori rather than herself. The reasons are quite complicated, but in short, Horizon knows Toori is at high risk of having an emotional breakdown, and dying because of the contract that'll kill him if he ever feels sad, and asks Asama and Nate to join in as Toori's lovers so they can give him love and emotional support. Additionally, Horizon sees forming a harem as gaining a larger family for Toori and herself, so it also brings her happiness to have Asama and Nate as co-wives she can trust and rely on to fulfill Toori's emotional needs that she can't tend to on her own.
  • Helping Hands: She can freely detach her arms and control them independently of the rest of her automaton body. At night, while she's sleeping, her arms detach to autonomously do housework and prepare for the morning.
  • He Will Not Cry, so I Cry for Him: Once she regains the emotion of sadness, Toori asks her to cry in his place since now crying or just feeling sad will kill him.
  • Humanizing Tears: She gains the emotion of sadness and the ability to cry after Futayo takes the Lype Kataslypsi from Muneshige, starting the process of her going from an emotionless Robot Girl to a more humanlike being.
  • Hyperspace Arsenal: She has the ability to create a compressed dimension near her body for storage of both Deadly Sin Armaments and her belongings.
  • Icy Blue Eyes: Her blue eyes reflect her emotionless and analytical personality.
  • Identity Amnesia: When she first found herself in Musashi, she had no memories of who she was or where she came from.
  • I Just Want to Be Normal: After hearing about her origins, she says would have preferred to keep living as a normal waitress at the bakery Blue Thunder instead of being the representative of Far East and the ruler of Mikawa.
  • Lethal Chef: She's such a bad cook that she goes Blue with Shock on her own cooking.
  • MacGuffin Super-Person: Her body contains the ninth Armor of Deadly Sins Ólos Phthonos, which serves as the unification operating system for all the Armors. The Testament Union wants to have her executed because of her power and the second half of the first season is centered around saving her.
  • Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter: After her death, her father put her soul into an android body which contains the ninth Deadly Sin Armament. He then removed her emotions and used them for the creation of the other Deadly Sin Armaments.
  • Mystical Waif: She is the bearer of the Armor of Deadly Sins Ólos Phthonos, the most valuable of the nine Armors of Deadly Sins as its "unification operating system". Ólos Phthonos is the system that taps into Horizon's soul, allowing Horizon to use the Soul Activation of all Armors of Deadly Sins. The heroes make their goal to gather the nine Armors of Deadly Sins to bring Horizon her emotions back and stop the apocalypse.
  • Mystical White Hair: Her white hair hints at her supernatural nature as an automaton with a human soul.
  • No Social Skills: She isn't very socially well-adjusted. In one occasion, she asks what "having sex" means along Azuma.
  • Not So Above It All: At first, she's only the Straight Man to Toori's idiotic antics and always thinks logically due to being an automaton. As she gains more of her emotions, Horizon becomes much more prone to goofing off and acts just as silly as everyone in Class 3-Plum.
  • Oblivious to Love: She doesn't understand Toori loves her until he flat out confesses to her. This is after he went to Blue Thunder just to see her everyday and Toori declared war on the entire world for her.
  • Ojou: Horizon is the heiress of the privileged Matsudaira family, which serves as the representative of the Far East and rulers of Mikawa.
  • Opposites Attract: She's a quiet, analytical and no-nonsense Emotionless Girl who ends up reciprocating the feelings of loud, goofy and fun-loving Keet Toori.
  • Phlebotinum Girl: As the bearer of the ninth Armor of Deadly Sins, she's the key to her father's "Genesis Project" to stop the apocalypse. Her existence alone causes Musashi to be at odds with the rest of the Harmonic Divine States.
  • Power Perversion Potential: After Asama and Nate perform a ritual to bring Toori back to life by having sex with him over 1500 times, Horizon asks Asama to create a time-compressed space so she can have sex with Toori as many times.
  • Rei Ayanami Expy: Horizon is a Robot Girl with silvery-white hair, blue eyes and pale skin. She starts off as emotionless, but slowly gains human emotions throughout the series. She's also the key to her father's project to stop an apocalypse.
  • Robot Antennae: The headphone-like accessories on her head are actually heat radiators and various types of sensors covering the area around her ears.
  • Robot Girl: As an automated doll, her body is mostly composed of mechanical parts that are covered using a substance that replicates the look and feel of human skin.
  • Robot Names: P-01s, which is the shortened form of the designation "Phtonos-01s", the operating system for the Deadly Sin Armaments. Though after The Reveal of who she really is, everyone calls her Horizon. The "s" in P-01s stands for "sentiment".
  • Running Away to Cry: The accident that killed Horizon when she was a child happened because she was running away from Toori after he made her cry by criticizing her cooking. Toori thought Horizon ran away because she was upset with him, but Horizon tells him she just didn't want him to see her crying.
  • Sdrawkcab Name: Her surname "Ariadust" is "tsudaira", the last character in "Matsudaira", reversed.
  • Sexy Sweater Girl: Her casual outfit has her wearing a tight sweater that accentuates her breasts.
  • Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Although she's annoyed by his antics, she falls in love with the cheerful and optimistic Toori.

  • The Spock: She's emotionless and analytical, always making her decisions based on logic.
  • The Stoic: Even after she starts recovering her emotions, her facial expression rarely changes.

  • Supernaturally Young Parent: Because of Time Travel, Horizon's daughter with Toori is slightly older than her. Said daughter is actually the teacher of Horizon and Toori's class.
  • Tears from a Stone: Automated dolls are supposed to lack any emotion that allows them to cry, yet Horizon becomes able to cry once she regains the emotion of sadness.
  • Third-Person Person: She refers to herself in third person.
  • Token Robot: From the end of the first story arc, she's the only automaton student in Class 3-Plum.
  • Took a Level in Cheerfulness: As she recovers her emotions over the course of the series, Horizon's personality becomes more expressive and livelier. At the end of the series, she can finally smile.
  • Took a Level in Idealism: At the start of the story, Horizon was ready to surrender to the Testament Union and commit suicide to prevent Musashi from entering into conflict with the Harmonic Divine States. After Toori persuades her into fighting against the entire world with him and the Musashi to reach a happy ending, Horizon starts hoping for a future where everyone can be happy.
  • Top Wife: Horizon is officially acknowledged as Toori's vicereine, but since she recognizes that she alone can't keep Toori happy all the time, she openly invites Asama and Nate to join in as Toori's concubines/mistresses. Horizon makes sure each one of them gets equal treatment from Toori, but she's still the head wife of their small harem due to outranking Asama and Nate in Musashi's hierarchy.
  • Town Girls: The Neither. Horizon is robotically stoic. Compared to Toori's other love interests, Horizon is a bad cook and never goes gentle on Toori (unlike Asama), and she also isn't physically strong and gallant (unlike Nate).
  • Tsundere: A rare stoic Harsh type. Horizon almost never expresses emotions other than disdain and annoyance at Toori's foolish and perverted antics, giving him frequent punches to his crotch in retribution. Despite that, Horizon does care about Toori a lot.
  • Unusual Ears: She has heat radiators and various sensors that appear hair accessories instead of ears.
  • Uptown Girl: Horizon is a member of the privileged Matsudaira family, while Toori comes from a family of loyal servants to her family.
  • What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: When Toori confesses his love for her, Horizon tells him that since she is an automated doll without emotions, she can't understand or reciprocate his feelings. She eventually does come to develop feelings for him and this makes her wish to understand human emotions more.
  • When She Smiles: Toori's main motivation for collecting the Nine Deadly Sin Armaments is to see Horizon smile when she gets her emotions back and they get their happy ending. Toori gets his wish in the final volume of the series.
  • Wrestler in All of Us: She often punishes Toori with wrestling moves. She even does this when they have sex, resulting in her landing on his penis after pulling a Somersault press.

Musashi Ariadust Academy - Student Council Members

    Masazumi Honda 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ksnh___masazumi_honda.png
Voiced by: Miyuki Sawashiro (Japanese), Genevieve Simmons (English)

Student council vice-president, Masazumi is serious-minded, skilled in speaking, and hard-working; effectively, she's Toori's exact opposite. Due to a significant lack of *ahem* assets, he continuously picks on her. Masazumi aspires to become a politician, though she can't help but feel reluctant about it.


  • A-Cup Angst: With a damn good reason. Masazumi had to undergo a mastectomy in preparation for her gender reassignment when she was younger, only for the process to go unfinished. She's understandably sensitive about her flat chest.
  • All Work vs. All Play: All Work to Toori's All Play. Masazumi always takes her duties very seriously doesn't goof around, as opposed to Toori.
  • Bifauxnen: A swift Deconstruction. To have a better chance to inherit the name of Masanobu Honda's son, she underwent several gender reassignment procedures, including a mastectomy. The procedure stopped partway through when her father was dismissed as a vassal. Now, Masazumi wears male clothing because it doesn't feel right to her to dress like a girl after trying to change her body.
  • Big "WHAT?!": After Toori chose the side of not rescuing Horizon during their debate.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: When she was young, Masazumi wanted to officially inherit the name of Masanobu Honda's son after her father failed to inherit Masanobu's name. Since the historical Masazumi Honda was a man, she had to undergo several gender reassignment procedures to increase her chances of being selected for the name. However, Masazumi lost her reason for the name succession after Motonobu Matsudaira replaced his vassals with automatons. Years later, her mother suddenly disappeared and was later reported as spirited away. After this, she moved to Musashi with her father.
  • Foil: To Toori. He is well-liked by his classmates yet not taken seriously by most people, and he constantly slacks off and is no good as a leader. Masazumi, on the other hand, is, while not disliked, more distant towards her classmates yet is respected by virtually everyone, and she is a very diligent worker and a skilled leader.
  • Gender-Blender Name: Masazumi is a masculine Japanese name.
  • Guile Heroine: She may not have combat skills, but she is the one in charge of the political issues and negotiations for the Musashi.
  • Hyper-Competent Sidekick: Even though she's vice-president to Toori's president, Masazumi can handle political work better than Toori ever could.
  • In-Series Nickname: Toori and some of her classmates call her "Seijun" because of the Alternate Character Reading of her given name.
  • Kick Chick: She is quite good at kicking things, as shown whenever she kicks Toori for embarrassing her or just plain doing something stupid.
  • The Lancer: She's the official Number Two in the student council and has a more serious and competent personality than Toori.
  • Missing Mom: Her mother was spirited away some time before the start of the series.
  • Naïve Newcomer: Masazumi has only recently moved into the Musashi when the series begins, so she doesn't know about subjects that are well-known by other residents, such as Toori's tragic backstory with Horizon's death. The audience gets exposition when other characters explain things for Masazumi.
  • Named After Somebody Famous: Named after the the historical samurai Masazumi Honda, the eldest son of Masanobu Honda.
  • Non-Uniform Uniform: She initially wears the Musashi Ariadust Academy's male uniform because of her gender issues. After the first arc, she wears the girls' tightsuit, but keeps wearing the male uniform's upper garment to hide her flat chest.
  • Number Two: As the student council vice-president, she's Toori's second-in-command.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The more serious and reserved Blue Oni to Toori's carefree and outgoing Red Oni.
  • The Reliable One: She's very responsible and the people of Musashi rely on her skills as a politician for negotiations.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: She looks just like her deceased mother.
  • Sugar-and-Ice Personality: She is a nice and sensitive girl, but she is also very serious and rational, focusing more on work and following rules than her personal enjoyment.
  • Tomboyish Voice: Masazumi has a lower voice than most of the other girls in the cast, fitting her Bifauxnen appearance.

  • Perpetual Frowner: He almost never smiles in the series, though there's a glint in his eyes when the subject of money is discussed.

Voiced by: Yuu Kobayashi (Japanese), Carli Mosier (English)

The only daughter of Tadakatsu and Masazumi's second cousin, Futayo is also the head of the Mikawa Security Corps. Because she has only ever received combat training from her father, she's incredibly clueless about the world and easily embarrassed. She's currently enrolled at Musashi Ariadust Academy serving as Vice-Chancellor.


  • Action Girl: Head of the Mikawa Security Corps and once she inherits the Slicing Dragonfly, she becomes a frightening fighter.
  • Ancestral Weapon: After her father Tadakatsu willingly stays behind to die at the Mikawa meltdown, Futayo inherits the Slicing Dragonfly spear.
  • Baritone of Strength: Futayo is one of the strongest female fighters on the Musashi and she has the deepest voice for any female character in the anime.
  • Chaste Hero: She's a powerful and noble warrior, but has no idea of what matters like sex and marriage entail because her father only focused on training her for combat.
  • Innocent Innuendo: Due to a misunderstanding, she comes to believe "having sex" means "training". This results in her claiming she "had sex" (50 times!) with Muneshige Tachibana right in front of his wife.
  • No Social Skills: Because her upbringing completely focused on training her combat skills, Futayo is extremely clueless about social norms.
  • Raised by Dudes: She was primarily raised and trained by her father to be a warrior. However, he neglected teaching her about anything that wasn't needed for combat, resulting in her lack of common sense.
  • Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training: Due to the strict training she received from her father, she became a skilled fighter with the spear. Unfortunately, it left her lacking in about every area that doesn't involve combat, especially social skills.
  • Samurai Ponytail: She has her hair tied into a high ponytail.
  • Skilled, but Naive: Her father's training made her a strong and skilled fighter, but also incredibly clueless about the world and easily embarrassed.

  • Super-Speed: Futayo uses the movements of her spear as offering to enable her to increase the speed of her spear's movement. The redundant effect of this ability allows her to achieve blinding speeds in battle, and can only be outmatched by someone with an impenetrable defense or someone who can make her stop moving her spear.
  • Undying Loyalty: She swears loyalty to Horizon Ariadust after Kimi makes her realize she must serve the ruler of Mikawa no matter what.
  • Verbal Tic: She compliments most of her dialogue with "de gozaru".

After being defeated by Futayo and stripped of his inherited name, Muneshige runs away to Musashi along with Gin and they transfer to the Musashi Ariadust Academy as Assistant Vice Chancellors.
  • Absurdly Sharp Blade: Like the Slicing Dragonfly, Lype Kataslypsi's Normal Activation is the ability to cut anything reflected by its blade.
  • BFS: He's the initial user of the Deadly Sin Armament Lype Kataslypsi, a large weapon that allows the user to "slice" objects by reflecting the target on the blade, tangible and intangible alike. It also doubles as a BFG in its Hyper Drive, firing out an initial path-setting laser, before releasing a giant energy beam that shreds apart the existence of everything in its designated path of 2 kilometres as an expression of Anguish.
  • Happily Married: He and his wife love each other very much and they are very happy together.

  • One Head Taller: He's a full head taller than his wife Gin.

Freed from the burden of becoming the strongest and the heavy load of being head of the Tachibana clan, Gin began to strive for her own happiness and fell in love with Muneshige for giving her a normal life, eventually becoming his devoted wife.

  • Strong Family Resemblance: She closely resembles her mother, minus the latter's gigantic breasts. Her petite body type is much closer to her father's. Her daughter Kasuya Takenori looks just like her, but with black hair instead of silver, plus big boobs.

Musashi Ariadust Academy - Class 3-Plum

    Kimi Aoi 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kimi_body.png
Voiced by: Chiwa Saitō (Japanese), Maggie Flecknoe (English)

Toori's equally loud, over-bearing older sister, the overly-dramatic Kimi Aoi changes her name on a weekly basis because of increasingly vapid reasons. She has a contract with the god of public entertainment "Uzume", specializing in eroticism and dancing.


  • Absurd Phobia: Kimi is usually unflappable, but she's completely terrified of ghosts and can't even hear a ghost story without freaking out. It's even sillier when you know ghosts in the setting aren't scary at all since they're barely different from the living.
  • Ambiguously Gay: She usually flirts with the girls and makes not-so-subtle advances towards them. At one point, she kisses her lesbian classmate Malga to snap her out of her angst rant.
  • Barrier Warrior: By dancing, she's able to create defensive barriers that protect her from her enemy.
  • Battle Strip: She sheds off parts of her upper clothes and detaches her sleeves when she prepares for a fight, thereby increasing her Fanservice level.
  • Big Sister Instinct: She cares a lot for her little brother. The only time she cried in her life was when Toori cried in her arms over Horizon's death. She says nothing can hurt her because there is nothing that can compare itself to the pain she felt at that time.
  • Clothing Damage: During her fight against Futayo Honda, she looses part of her blouse, exposing her belly.
  • Constantly Changing Name: At the start of the series, Margot Knight complains about Kimi changing through stage names too fast.
  • Cool Big Sis: She plays the role of a fun and teasing older sister to her younger brother and her friends.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: While her normal behavor makes her look idiotic, if you ever challenge her to a fight, be prepared because she's almost unbeatable.
  • Custom Uniform of Sexy: Originally, Kimi wore the standard uniform of Musashi Ariadust Academy with no changes to the uniform whatsoever. However, after her fight with Futayo, she dresses in a far more revealing version of the uniform; wearing only the tube top on her upper body along with the standard legging from the waist down.
  • Dance Battler: A variant, as it's not in the traditional sense. She doesn't beat her opponents with dance moves; she uses dancing to invoke the god Uzume's power and create barriers that block attacks at incredible speeds.
  • The Gadfly: She loves teasing the hell out of everyone, especially Asama and Nate.
  • Get A Hold Of Yourself Man:
    • When Toori was suffering a severe depression because of Horizon's death in the past, Kimi threw Toori out of a window and snapped him out of his funk by cramming a hot sauces and spices down his throat, including the bottle, and then jamming her whole hand down his mouth.
    • She gives a Megaton Punch, followed by a "Shut Up" Kiss bite to Malga in episode 9 of S2, then chastises her for trying to guilt Margot into letting her join the battle and possibly die, saying that a Senseless Sacrifice is not the way to prove herself equal to Margot.
    Kimi: Listen. This is what you just said, "If I die, it's because of you, Knight. I got beaten to death, but I did it for you and don't you ever forget it." You think sacrificing yourself is enough to stay with someone?
  • Good Bad Girl: She is a flamboyant pervert, yes, but she is also a really nice and caring Cool Big Sis.
  • Harem Nanny: Later in the novels, Kimi lives together with Toori and his harem, consisting of Horizon, Asama and Nate. Kimi enjoys watching her brother's antics with his lovers, and also teasing Asama and Nate.
  • Heart Is an Awesome Power: Kimi manages to weaponize erotic dancing. Because of the contract with her god, she can avoid being touched by anyone who she doesn't want to touch her. Minor damage actually adds to the offering to her god, making her even stronger, and she uses the clothing she removes to block attacks from Futayo's Slicing Dragonfly.
  • Impossibly-Low Neckline: After her fight with Futayo, Kimi discards most of her upper clothes and only wears a tube top around her chest. She somehow never faces problems with Wardrobe Malfunction despite having her big breasts tightly pressed against her strapless top.
  • It Runs in the Family: Much like her brother, Kimi is fond of being bombastically noisy, as well as trolling and exhibitionism.
  • Large Ham: Just like her brother, Kimi just loves to be ridiculously hammy.
  • Megaton Punch: She slaps Malga so hard that she sends her flying and creates a tornado.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Kimi has the biggest breasts in Class Plum after Asama and she prefers to wear no upper clothes except for a tube top to cover her breasts, revealing her cleavage and midriff.
  • The Nicknamer: She has a nickname for everyone she knows. Some examples include:
    • Toori: "Foolish/Silly Brother"
    • Masazumi: "Boobless Politician"
    • Futayo: "Clueless Woman"
    • Neshinbara: "Fanfic Writer"
    • Tenzou: "Ninja"
    • And she calls herself "Ingenious Sister".
  • Nigh-Invulnerability: Her eroticism-specialized contract with her god allows her to become untouchable to anyone she chooses. Any attack directed to her by her opponent will either miss or be blocked.
  • No Indoor Voice: Like her brother, she likes to be very loud.
  • The Power of Rock: When fighting at full strength, she sings; as a bonus, it's also her Image Song. What's more, the lyrics seem to describe her fighting techniques.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Delivers one to Futayo after the latter is unable to get any valid hits on Kimi during their fight, along with some tight slaps.
  • Stone Wall: She doesn't have any offensive attacks, but her defensive barriers make her an untouchable fortress.
  • Stripperiffic: Justified; her contract with the goddess Uzume is specialized in eroticism and dancing. The less clothes she wears, the more powerful she becomes.
  • Sultry Belly Dancer: She's a practitioner of Japanese traditional dance and wears a revealing midriff-baring version of the Musashi school uniform to give offering to the goddess Uzume, who is known in legend for having danced half-naked to draw Amaterasu out of a cave.

Toori and Kimi's childhood friend, Tomo Asama uses her spiritual connection as the Asama Shrine's priestess to shoot her bow and arrow with precision.

  • Buxom Beauty Standard: She has the biggest boobs in Class 3-Plum, something that Toori definitely finds attractive in her.
  • Cannot Spit It Out: Even after Horizon gives Asama her blessing to start a romantic relationship with Toori, she's still reluctant to admit her true feelings for Toori after having repressed them for so many years. She and Toori finally admit their mutual feelings after to save his life during a battle, she gives him a Kiss of Life that can only work if the two people involved love each other.

  • I Don't Want to Ruin Our Friendship: Horizon tries persuading Asama into entering a polyamorous relationship with her and Toori, but Asama has many doubts about it since she had gotten used to playing the role of a supportive friend for Toori since they were children. After circumstances involving a Kiss of Life force them to admit their true feelings for each other, Toori confesses he was also insecure about changing his relationship dynamic with Asama, leading them both to commit themselves to be more overt about their mutual love.
  • I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: For a long time, Asama did her best to suppress her feelings for Toori, simply wishing him to be happy with Horizon. Later in the light novels though, Horizon herself lets her and Nate know that she's okay with sharing Toori with them so that he can have more emotional support from all the girls who love him.
  • Improbable Aiming Skills: Justified. Her Mouse, Hanami, has the ability to eliminate all physics-related problems like air resistance, trajectory and the speed in which her arrows can travel. Basically, they are made into a homing missile-type of arrows, but with the cost of offerings.
  • Long-Range Fighter: She's an archer specialized in firing arrows for long-ranged combat.
  • Magical Eye: Her left green eye is an artificial eye called Konoha that she uses for precision shooting.
  • Miko: She's the shrine maiden of the Asama Shrine.
  • Ms. Fanservice: She has one of the biggest busts in the series and her combat outfit is a skin-colored Miko-themed skintight bodysuit. She has one scene in the anime where her top ends up popping open, though her nipples aren't shown. In the light novel, her sex scenes with Toori come with illustrations of her naked breasts, complete with nipples.
  • Nice Girl: She's polite, gentle and caring.
  • Nude-Colored Clothes: The tightsuit of her miko outfit is skin-colored.
  • Patient Childhood Love Interest: She has known Toori since childhood, but she suppresses her deep feelings for him even after Horizon invites her to join Toori's harem. She gives in after a Kiss of Life reveals Toori reciprocates her feelings, leading them to promise to make overt advances at each other.
  • Sacred Bow and Arrows: Fittingly for her occupation as a Miko, Asama uses a bow named Umetsubaki as her weapon and can shoot arrows with high precision with the aid of her artificial left eye Konoha, and Hanami, a Mouse built into Konoha.
  • Semi-Divine: Her mother is the Shinto goddess Iwanaga-hime.
  • Single-Target Sexuality: Ever since she was very young, Toori has been the sole target of her romantic affections.

  • Team Mom: She's among the most devoted, responsible, and kindest students of Class 3-Plum, caring deeply for her classmates.

  • Adoptive Peer Parent: He and Miriam adopt a little ghost girl as their daughter even though they're still teenagers.

  • Chaste Hero: He doesn't know anything about sexuality and casually talks about sex without even knowing what it is.

  • No Social Skills: Her lack of training in society has made her tactless in social situations.

  • Bespectacled Cutie: She's a cute and nice girl with glasses.

A close-up melee fist-fighter with very little social graces, Noriki constantly works at part-time jobs to help support his enormous family.


  • Boxing Battler: He's one of the few members of his classmate which use bare hands to engage fights and his fighting style resembles boxing. Noriki's ability focuses on the concept of "three-hit knockout". Using the first two hits as offering, Noriki's next attack will be guaranteed to knockout its opponent. The challenge lies in successfully connecting the two first hits; since opponents often defend themselves after receiving a successful hit, this ability is a challenging, if not impossible, to pull off.
  • Childhood Friend Romance: Before he departed the Houjou Clan, Noriki was good friends with Ujinao Houjou. They're in love with each other, but they're kept apart for complicated political reasons. After Noriki defeats Houjou and frees her from her role as head of the Houjou clan, they become engaged.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's considered to be taciturn and very blunt with words, but he's still a good guy who constantly works in part time jobs to support his large family.
  • Meaningful Name: Noriki's family were retainers of the Houjou clan and had made an agreement that if they had a girl, she would inherit the name of Tokuhime and marry Ujinao Houjou. After they got a son, the engagement became null and the family left aboard the Musashi. In reference to his backstory, Noriki's name can be translated to the "embarking departer" or the "embarking princess".
  • Non-Uniform Uniform: He wears a modified Far East uniform with a short-sleeved and opened jacket without anything underneath it apart from bandages in his torso and wrists.
  • Perfectly Arranged Marriage: He was supposed to be engaged to Ujinao Houjou if he had been born a girl, but their families cancelled the arrangement after Noriki and Houjou were born with the opposite genders than expected. Despite this, Noriki and Houjou are really in love with each other and he asks her to marry him after he frees her from her duties as head of the Houjou clan.
  • Perpetual Frowner: He always has the same sullen frown on his face.
  • Robosexual: He has a romantic relationship with Ujinao Houjou, an automaton.
  • Sarashi: He wraps bandages around his abdomen.

  • Shrinking Violet: She's a very timid girl.
  • Speech Impediment: She speaks in a slow stuttering manner. This is probably because her hearing device relays her own voice back to her. Which is a real condition, albeit without the Magitek.
  • Super-Hearing: Suzu counteracts her blindness with a pair of Magitek headphones, which can "hear" up to 30 kilometers.
  • Supernaturally Young Parent: She's the mother of Katagiri Katsumoto from the Ten Spears, who is the same age as her because of Time Travel.

  • The Voiceless: We never hear Persona speak because he mainly uses body language to communicate.
  • Walking Shirtless Scene: He never wears a shirt so we can appreciate his large, muscled upper body.

Father of Futayo and one of the Four Divine Matsudaira Kings, Tadakatsu's a soldier of remarkable ability, and was once called the "Peerless of the East".


  • Absurdly Sharp Blade: The Slicing Dragonfly's Normal Activation allows it to cut anything physical reflected by the blade. For greater absurdity, the weapon's Superior Activation is cutting any "concept" that can be imagined by its wielder. In other words, if the user knows his opponent's name, they can effectively erase the latter from existence.

  • Martial Arts Headband: He's a samurai-style soldier who wears a headband around his head.
  • My Master, Right or Wrong: He will do whatever his lord Motonobu wishes, even if that is cooperating in his Genesis Project, which involves blowing up Mikawa with both of them there.
  • Named After Somebody Famous: After the historical general Honda Tadakatsu from the Warring States period.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red to Masanobu's blue, as he's from the Martial/Samurai branch of the Honda Clan, boisterous, a bit rash, and a wicked spear-wielding fighter. Incidentally, he also lost his wife.

  • Robot Maid: She's an automaton serving as the housekeeper of the Honda family.
  • Robotic Spouse: As a replication of Tadakatsu's late wife, she takes care of him and his daughter and cooks just like his wife did. Makes sense, since she really is his wife. Tadakatsu put her soul in an robotic body after her death.
  • Robot Girl: She's an automaton with the appearance of a young woman.
  • Supreme Chef: Tadakatsu says her cooking is great.
  • Together in Death: She dies together with Tadakatsu when Mikawa explodes.
  • Undying Loyalty: To Motonobu Matsudaira. Along with Tadakatsu, she stays at Mikawa to the end and dies when the lord blows it up.

  • Chewbacca Defense: Masazumi has just accused the Testament Union of abusing the system of History Recreation to benefit themselves at the cost of an innocent person's life. She then proposes an alternative course of action that requires no deaths and benefits not just the far east but ultimately the whole world. The Pope's response? He reveals to everyone listening that Masazumi (who presents herself as male) is actually a girl and then accuses her of just using the situation to take power for herself. It was totally irrelevant, did nothing to counter her arguments, and it almost worked.

An elven student at Oxford Academy and the most famous writer in England, Thomas Shakespeare has a history with Toussaint. She is the wielder of the Armor of Deadly Sins "Aspida Philargia". 6th TRUMP.


  • Agony Beam: Variation; Overdrive Activation of Aspida Philargia transfers pain inflicted on the wielder into ether. In Shakespeare's case, this is used to further power her abilities.
  • Bag of Holding: She has a magic bag in which she carries around Aspida Philargia.
  • Childhood Friend Romance: She and Toussaint were friends when they were children and lived in the same orphanage. When they meet again in the present, their relationship gets plenty of Ship Tease.
  • Defrosting Ice Queen: Initially cold and hostile, but she warms up to Toussaint after he defeats her in their rematch.
  • Expository Pronoun: She refers to herself with the Japanese male pronoun boku. She used watashi when she was a child until Toussaint left the orphanage and she begins to use it again after she reconciles with Toussaint.
  • Forgotten Friend, New Foe: She and Toussaint were friends when they were kids and grew up in the same orphanage. They meet again as rivals, with Shakespeare holding a grudge against him for leaving her behind.

  • Historical Gender Flip: In history recreation, she represents the male English writer William Shakespeare.
  • Interspecies Romance: She is an elven girl and it's heavily implied she has feelings for the human Toussaint.
  • Loss of Identity: When she and Toussaint meet again, she says she is one of the two girls he used to be friends with in an orphanage in Tres España. She challenges him to figure out which one of the two is her. However, Toussaint tells her he was friends with only one girl, this causes Shakespeare to become confused as she can't tell which one of her two selves is the real one.
  • Named After Somebody Famous: Named after the historical English playwright, poet and writer William Shakespeare.
  • Our Elves Are Different: She's a young elven girl.
  • Pointy Ears: She has the long and pointy ears that are common for the elven race.
  • Rewriting Reality: Like Toussaint, Shakespeare weaponizes this, but uses Macbeth as an example. In her fight against him, she places the role of the titular character onto Toussaint, cursing him. The effect ends if "Macbeth" kills the king (in this case, Toussaint must kill Toori) or Shakespeare lifts the curse herself.
  • Scary Shiny Glasses: Her glasses shine when she's angry or being threatening.
  • The Stoic: Her face rarely shows emotion. Her Not So Stoic side only comes out around Toussaint.
  • Sugar-and-Ice Personality: She acts cold and calm, yet she's able to smile and be cute once you get her to open up.
  • When She Smiles: Toussaint blushes when he sees her smile.

  • Death Seeker: Before she met her husband, Turenne found no purpose in her life as the Reine des Garous, having to live alone in the forest while being human-like enough to feel lonely. She intentionally got caught in a trap and planned to allow the hunter to kill her without resistance, but the hunter spared her life and ended up marrying her.
  • Extreme Libido: To naturally conceive Nate, something that shouldn't have been possible due to her nature as a being made of ether, Turenne and her husband had wild sex nonstop for 24 days.

  • Our Werewolves Are Different: She's a pure-bred werewolf, which basically makes her an ether-based being that combines both the properties of human and wolf.
  • Power Perversion Potential: She has a regenerative ability that can be shared to those under her protection through ether. Because of this, she and her husband were able to have sex nonstop without getting tired or hungry for 24 days.

  • Red Baron: She's called the Reine des Garous.

As per course of history recreation, he has been killed by his sister, but Toshiie turns him into a ghost, but his consciousness appears to be missing due to his lack of regrets. He shares the God of War Seiryuu-Bushin with Masamune, and after his death, a semi-corporeal Seiryuu manifests to fight the physical Seiyuu that has gone out of control.


  • Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: When his ghost reunites with Komahime, both no longer have regrets tying them done to the mortal world and the couple ascends to heaven.
  • Bungled Suicide: Hashiba planned to use him and Komahime as political pawns to control the Date and Mogami clans that wanted to prevented their fated deaths in the history recreation. To prevent this from happening, Kojirou attempted to commit suicide, but failed because of his Dragon God blood. He requested his sister Masamune to finish him off, causing her much grief.
  • Came Back Wrong: After his death, Toshiie brings him back as a ghost, but unlike Komahime, Kojirou is basically an Empty Shell, presumably due to his lack of regrets. This was in fact because his will had taken the form of an astral replica of the Seiryuu. Once the rampaging physical Seiryuu is subdued, Kojirou regains consciousness as a ghost.

  • Horned Humanoid: Like his sister, he has a dragon horn on his head, but on the left side.

  • Named After Somebody Famous: He inherited the name of the historical Date Kojirou, Date Masamune's younger brother. He also has the name of Toyotomi Hidetsugu, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's nephew.
  • Political Hostage: When P.A.ODA and M.H.R.R. take over the Testament Union, putting them in charge of the worldwide history recreation, they force the Date clan into compliance by having Kojirou also inherit the name of Hidetsugu Hashiba, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's nephew. The historical Hidetsugu was forced to commit seppuku after a falling out with Toyotomi, so P.A.ODA keeps the Date clan in line by threatening to reenact Hashiba's falling out and make Kojirou commit seppuku if the Date clan isn't co-operative. To avoid this, Kojirou attempted to commit suicide and when that failed, he asked Masamune to finish him off. Unfortunately, Toshiie of P.A.ODA turns him into a ghost to use him against the Date and Mogami clans anyway.
  • Together in Death: Once cleared of their regrets, Kojirou and Komahime are released from their ghost forms and pass on together.
  • Uneven Hybrid: His father is the Dragon God and his mother is a Human-Demon Hybrid.

    Yes 
Long ago during the Age of Dawn, humanity sought to make destiny their ally and gave it a personality. However, as time passed, the few people with knowledge about this died off and the personality was left alone, watching humanity go through tragedies and war. The personality decided to put a stop to this by getting rid of destiny, in other words dying. A failed attempt resulted in the collision between the Divine States and the Harmonic Realm. Having failed to commit suicide once, the personality started the process leading to the Apocalypse. Many years later, Motonobu Matsudaira discovered destiny had a personality, who called herself Yes, and he secretly planned the Genesis Project to eliminate the personality before her suicide caused the Apocalypse. Yes found out about the Genesis Project and started making disappear whoever was involved in it or told people about the existence of destiny's personality, resulting in the mysterious phenomena known as the Princess Disappearances.
