Under Execution, Under Jailbreak

Prisoner No. 27

Prisoner No.27

A man sentenced to death after murdering a young girl who stole from him.

Blue-and-Orange Morality: 27 explains he murdered a girl for lying. However, he has no problem with the same woman stealing his wallet.
Everything Trying to Kill You: The cell he was imprisoned is filled with traps. From bee stings to fish spines to broken chairs whose wood impales the user to murdering electrified couches...
Fate Worse than Death: Or, better yet, worse than Death Penalty. He has to stay for 50 years in his cell, staring at the breach in the wall.
Fingore: Loses some fingers while trying to escape.
No Name Given: The name of the prisoner is unknown.
Properly Paranoid: After noticing that the escape hole might as well be a trap.
Villain Protagonist

Dolce and His Master

Dolce

A British bicolor cat. Both he and his owner gets trapped in a yacht in the middle of the Ocean.

Cat Stereotype: The black and white male kind.
Cats Are Mean: He even gets to kill his owner and eat the sweet.

Ayashi Masago

A young first class architect who owns the yacht.

Asshole Victim: Gets killed by his own pet, and his body is eaten by sharks.
I'm a Humanitarian: He killed and ate the woman he was stranded on the yacht with.
Jerkass: He's not a good man.
Karmic Death: He dies while trying to drink Dolce's blood. Fittingly enough, his body gets eaten.
Never My Fault: He passes responsibility for his yacht being stranded off to anyone he can.

Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan

Episode 16: At a Confessional

Confessor

Corn worker

Voiced by: Hiroki Takahashi (Japanese), Crispin Freeman (English)

A 24-year old corn company worker who went to the church to confess for a sin he committed.

Anime Hair: Typical Araki design, while his back head looks normal, his front head has three raising corn-like hair shapes.
Blessed with Suck: After the death of the vagabond, the vengeful spirit of the vagabond promises that he will have his revenge at the worker's happiest moment. He then gets a lot of money from distant relatives, wins the soccer lottery, marries a model and has a daughter with her. In that moment, the dead vagabond possesses the body of his daughter and tries to kill him.
- Subverted, when it is revealed that he persuaded his servant to undergo plastic surgery to look like him and vice-versa, and the vengeful spirit ends up successfully killing the servant instead! Well, except he now has two vengeful spirits after him.
Determinator: Rohan acknowledges this about him after retelling the story noting that, despite being alone and constantly chased by two angry spirits, he was still determined to defy his fate.
Rohan: His may not have been a good heart, but he is undeniably resilient. And it may be that I am the only one who feels that way about him.
From Bad to Worse: At first, he believed he outsmarted the vagabond's ghost by having a servant impersonate him and take the bullet. All that left him with was the dying curses of two vengeful spirits.
Jerkass: From what is shown of him the corn worker doesn't seem like the nicest of people. Firstly, when the vagabond asks for food, as he hadn't eaten in 5 days, the worker forces him to do his shift believing him to be a Lazy Bum, which results in the vagabond dying. While he admits to Rohan that he didn't think the vagabond would actually die, later on in life he switches identities with one of his servants so that he would suffer the vagabonds curse in his place without telling him the truth, resulting in the servant's death.
Off with His Head!: After failing the vagabond's challenge, he effortlessly decapitates the corn worker. Subverted when it's revealed it was actually the corn worker's servant who lost his head.

Vagabond

The Vagabond

Voiced by: Shouto Kashii (Japanese), English: Mark Whitten (Alive) / Bob Carter (Spirit)

An Asian man who hadn't eaten anything in 5 days and was desperate for food.

Absurdly High-Stakes Game: Much like the initial battle with D'Arby the Elder in Stardust Crusaders the life of the corn worker is put to the test by way of a usually harmless activity; flicking a piece of popcorn into the air and catching it in the mouth three times. And yes, the Vagabond takes the game very seriously.
Demonic Possession: Possesses the daughter of the corn worker in the latter's happiest moment. He makes himself present by using the tongue of said daughter.
The Drifter: Most likely homeless too.
Dying Curse: He cursed the corn worker that he would die in his happiest moment. True to his word, when the corn worker was playing with his daughter, he kills him. Except he didn't; the vagabond kills the corn worker's servant who he hired to impersonate him after having plastic surgery done to look like his servant and vice versa. Now both the servant and the vagabond continue to haunt him.
Impossible Task: In order to avoid the curse, the vagabond's ghost tasks the corn worker to toss a piece of popcorn into the air higher than a nearby lamppost into his mouth without catching it in his hands three times. At first, it looks like the corn worker would succeed. However, he misses the last piece after getting blinded by the sun and fails. It's later revealed that it was actually the corn worker's servant who failed, who now haunts the corn worker along with the vagabond's ghost.
Posthumous Character: Died in an accident before the story began.
Vengeful Ghost: The grudge he held against the corn worker for not giving him food and instead working the poor man to death turned him into one.

Episode 2: Mutsukabezaka

Minoru Kagamari

Voiced by: Takamasa Mogi (Japanese), Howard Wang (English)

Rohan Kishibe's manga editor who's in his first year of the job.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Just hearing Rohan's stories (it should be noted that Rohan is famous for his horror-tinged publications) about yokai is enough to turn him into a nervous wreck and in the three episode gap between Mutsukabezaka and Millionaire Village, he's nowhere to be seen and has been replaced by Kyoka Izumi.

Mutsukabezaka

Voiced by: Yūki Takada (child)

A youkai that lives on Mutsu-kabe Hill.

Berserk Button: If Rohan's encounter with one is anything to go by, it's not getting to die in front of someone and make them its servant.
Eldritch Abomination: It's a supernatural being that doesn't appear directly related to ghosts, vampires, or Stands that looks like a mishapen mess of tentacles.
Lazy Bum: Take away the supernatural horror aspects and this is what the Mutsukabezaka really is. Rohan states that whenever it has someone under its control, they do all the work while the Mutsukabezaka reaps all the benefits.
Make It Look Like an Accident: Its modus operandi. Whenever it possesses someone, it makes them die in what looks like an accident. This makes the witness assume they were the one who killed them, thus exploiting them into becoming the Mutsukabezaka's servant. Rohan even says that its happiest moment is dying in front of someone and making them suffer from the guilt of thinking they killed it.
Overdrawn at the Blood Bank: When someone it possesses dies, their body bleeds forever.

Episode 5: Millionaire Village

Kyoka Izumi

Voiced by: Mai Nakahara (Japanese), Brittany Cox (English)

Played by: Marie Iitoyo

Rohan's new editor at Shueisha. She wants to buy a house in a village fabled to bring good luck to those allowed to enter it.

Ambiguous Situation: Does she know about Heaven's Door? Her suggestion that Rohan search for material for his manga in the village is rather ambiguous ^note, and Rohan doesn't even try to hide Heaven's Door from her when he reads Ikkyu. Then again, he sometimes does this in the middle of the street and no-one notices, so there's that.
Break the Cutie: She starts the story rather upbeat and cheerful, but panics when she's told she's broken the rules and then completely loses it when she's put through the Trauma Conga Line.
Death by Materialism: Almost. Because she's so determined to buy the house, she decides to try again rather than get out of the damn house like she should. As a consequence, Rohan ends up reading Ikkyu and the gods try to punish him by giving her a heart attack.
Sigil Spam: Wears Shonen Jump logo on her clothes.
Trauma Conga Line: Upon breaking the rules three times, she loses her mother, her boyfriend and the baby bird she's rescued one after another, and then has a heart attack when Rohan breaks a rule. It's all fortunately undone when Rohan outwits the Gods of the Mountain, but the shock of it still leaves her passed out when Rohan takes his leave with her.

Ikkyu

Voiced by: Kaori Mizuhashi (Japanese), Jessica DiCicco (English)

Played by: Kaede Shibasaki

A butler at the so-called Millionaire's Village who resembles a child.

Ambiguously Human: His eyes are more of giant black pits. Maybe even more pronounced in the animated OVA, where they seem to be filled with stars.
Emotionless Boy: Completely stoic, at least until Rohan starts messing with him.
Happiness in Slavery: He has to obey the gods of the mountain in everything, but seems content about it.
Mouth of Sauron: He's the only person we see in the village, and he speaks for both the seller of the house and the gods of the mountain (if they aren't one and the same, that is).
Not So Stoic: His composure breaks when Heaven's Door causes him to repeatedly break the mountain's rules.
Older Than They Look: Probably not a kid, despite his diminutive stature.

Gods of the Mountain

Mythical beings who have both blessed and cursed the Millionaire's Village.

Blue-and-Orange Morality: They consider murder and not following manners to be crimes of equal weight.
Disproportionate Retribution: A person commits a minor social faux-pas? Better kill the people close to them and destroy all they hold dear.
Don't Go Into the Woods: Their land is covered in a deep forest Rohan and Kyoka have to hike through, and they will kill you if you break the rules inside the village walls.
Eldritch Abomination: They're ruthless, follow Blue-and-Orange Morality and can both turn someone into a millionaire as well punish them horribly. Their reach appears to extend far beyond the mountain itself, too, as Kyoka's boyfriend and mother are nowhere near it when she's told they died.
Genius Loci: They are based on the mountain, and they're represented by faces in the trees growing there.

Episode 4: Mochizuki Family Moon Viewing

Noboru

Noboru Mochizuki

The Mochizuki patriarch, who is worried that his family is cursed and one member will die during the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival if they do not all spend the night together and participate in the moon viewing.

Haruko

Haruko Mochizuki

Noboru's wife. Noboru is worried about her because he has just learned she has been diagnosed with cervical cancer, spurring the interest in the family curse.

Aki

Aki Mochizuki

The elder daughter of the family. She really does not want to stay at home for the moon viewing, as she had plans to meet up with her boyfriend. She is also deathly afraid of being stung by a hornet, having become allergic to one the last time she was stung. She later sneaks out when the rest of her family is asleep to meet up with her boyfriend, drawing the Moon Rabbit to her to try to kill her. She is saved at the last moment when her boyfriend proposes to her, effectively taking her out of the Mochizuki family and freeing her from the curse.

Takeru

Takeru Mochizuki

The younger son of the Mochizuki family. He too wished to spend time with friends rather than with his family as he is trying to get a baseball scholarship into high school, but he gets into the swing of things when he has the idea to bring the electronics outside.

Mitsu

Mitsu Mochizuki

Noboru's elderly mother. She nearly dies during the moon viewing due to a freak accident involving Takeru's remote control car and the family goldfish flying into her mouth while she's sleeping, but she manages to cough up the goldfish and survives one more year.

Moon Rabbit

A humanoid rabbit spirit responsible for the curse on the Mochizuki family should one of them not take part in the moon viewing. He appears from the moon when Aki leaves her sleeping family behind to meet her boyfriend and tries to kill her with a hornet sting, but her boyfriend proposes to her, freeing her from the curse as she will no longer be a Mochizuki.

Blue-and-Orange Morality: There's no explanation as to why the Mochizuki family is cursed, but the Moon Rabbit still tries to kill them for not taking part in the fall moon festival. And he immediately gives up on murdering Aki once her boyfriend pops the question, and kills a random passerby instead.

Episode 11: The Run

Yoma Hashimoto

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yoma_ova.png

Voiced by: Kōki Uchiyama (Japanese), Aleks Le (English)

A model who grew to be absolutely obsessed with exercise.

Affably Evil: Even throughout the increasingly-insane tests of strength he faces with Rohan, he never fails to show a level of respect to him by calling him "Rohan-sensei" (Mister Rohan). That is, right up until he's finally defeated, where he practically growls a venomous "Rohan" as he falls out the window.
Appearance Angst: He is a model who becomes obsessed with personal fitness after growing to like his routine. His constant efforts to improve his physique chip away at his sanity, to the point of accusing his girlfriend of trying to "poison him" with his favorite carb-heavy spaghetti dish, complaining about the delivery man ringing the doorbell and ruining his sleep schedule, and glaring daggers at a man who reserved his personal trainer before him. He eventually snaps and murders his girlfriend, the delivery man, and the other gym-goer because he saw them all as threats to his fitness.
Anime Hair: While the gray hair is a slightly strange color, the arrow-like spikes coming out of it are stranger.
Beauty Is Bad: He develops a herculean physique through his physical training, eventually developing obliques and laterial muscles akin to those on Ancient Greek sculptures. But as he becomes more fit and muscular, his sanity and morality plummet to the point that he murders three people over the idea that they could be a threat to his physical fitness, trying to do the same to Rohan and nearly succeeding if not for Rohan's timely use of Heaven's Door.
Charles Atlas Superpower: His draconian training regime has led to him developing wing-shaped muscles on his body. He's become strong enough to turn around and run backwards while maintaining a 20 km/h speed, throw a 20 kg dumbbell, then turn back around while hardly breaking a sweat.
Destination Defenestration: In response to Rohan taunting him, he sets up an Absurdly High-Stakes Game with him, with the intent of this happening to the loser. While Rohan loses, he uses Heaven's Door to turn the tables on Yoma. However, Rohan believes that Yoma survived the fall, and it is implied that he is correct.
Disposing of a Body: Yoma killed his girlfriend, the deliveryman, and a gym patron as they interfered with his strict training regimen. He meticulously hid their bodies by encasing them in cement before disposing of them in various locations. His girlfriend's remains were concealed within the walls of her apartment, while he hid the deliveryman's body in the underground parking lot of the apartment block. As for the gym patron, Yoma concealed his corpse in the shower room's ceiling.
Disproportionate Retribution: Killing people for interfering with his strength training seems a tad excessive.
From Nobody to Nightmare: Yoma was just an average guy living in Harajuku with his girlfriend, Mika, when a model production company discovered him and offered him the opportunity to become a model, later transitioning into an actor. However, his life took a turn when he became possessed by the Greek God Hermes, becoming the deity's avatar. Consumed by an insatiable obsession with physical fitness, Yoma's fixation on his training regimen spiraled out of control to the point where he'd kill anyone who got in the way of his workout routine with three victims under his belt, which included his girlfriend.
It's All About Me: After he became a model, his ego skyrockets big time. Might have something to do with being possessed by Hermes who, among the rest of the Greek pantheon, has an overinflated sense of self.
Mercury's Wings: Played for Body Horror. Whenever his muscles tense up, they take the shape of wings. Justified, since he's the avatar of Hermes, the god of athletes.
Muscles Are Meaningful: He goes from being rail-thin to extremely muscular and toned over the course of the story. By the end, he's able to crush the bones of three of Rohan's fingers with the ease of someone pushing a button.
Serial Killer: He kills anyone who interferes with his training program. Including his girlfriend who threatened to evict him, the delivery man who kept delivering his protein powder while he was sleeping, and the other gym patrons that his trainer was also training.
Uncertain Doom: Downplayed. While Rohan is very much certain that he survived their Absurdly High-Stakes Game, he never checks to make sure since Hermes gave Yoma an inflated ego, meaning he would have taken looking down from the building as looking down on him.
The Unfettered: Nothing will come between him and his training program. Nothing.
Wrong Context Magic: As Rohan realizes in hindsight, Yoma is the full-blown avatar of a Greek god. This actually applies to both the JoJo universe as a whole (as Yoma's power has nothing to do with vampires, Hamon, or Stands) and to Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan specifically (which mostly centers on Japanese legends).

Dead Man's Questions

Monk

A female Buddhist monk who hires the ghost of Yoshikage Kira to take care of other ghostly problems in Morioh.

Good Shepherd: Willing to give Kira a chance at redemption by pointing him towards various nastiness so he can work off his bad karma.
