Characters: Negima-Ala Rubra
|
That's right, Mahou Sensei Negima! is so overstuffed that it broke the folder system. Again. And it's still growing. So we decided to split the page. Again. This page is for everyone who's a member of Ala Rubra or was a close ally. Feel free to munch on some chips as you read. This page is full of spoilers, naturally. You have been warned.
open/close all folders Nagi Springfield The Thousand MasterNegi's Disappeared Dad, the epitome of the Idiot Hero, and quite possibly the most powerful combat mage ever to live. Unlike his son, he is straight forward, child-like, laid back and disrespectful. He hates respectful titles and prefers to be called by his name without honorifics and such. He has a strong affinity for lightning and has mastered the element's strongest spells. Though his skill in battle is beyond question, he actually isn't all that good at remembering his magic, and often has to read his spell incantations off of a notebook. Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu (Negima!!), Miyuki Sawashiro (Negima!?!) (Japanese), Troy Baker (Negima!), J. Michael Tatum (Negima?!) (English)
Arika The Princess (and later Queen) of the kingdom of Ostia and one of Ala Rubra's allies during the war. At the war's end, she was instrumental in preventing the destruction of the Magic World, but at the cost of the destruction of her kingdom. Despite making every effort to evacuate as many as possible, she was falsely accused of genocide and nearly executed for it before being saved by Ala Rubra. Afterwards, she hooked up with Nagi, and was eventually revealed to be Negi's mother. Her current status and whereabouts are unknown. And unfortunately, never will be.Voiced by: Megumi Hayashibara (Only in the Ala Rubra Drama CD.)
- Armor-Piercing Slap
- Badass Princess: Although she didn't really become Badass until she wasn't a princess anymore.
- The Chains of Commanding
- Defrosting Ice Queen: Initially very cold towards everyone, due to being raised in a very stifling and dark environment, filled to the brim with plotting politicians and insidious royalty. Gradually evolves into a...
- Does Not Know How To Say Thanks
- Fallen Princess
- Faking the Dead: Thanks to Ala Rubra's Big Damn Heroes plan.
- Hair of Gold: Revealed by Volume 26's cover.
- The High Queen
- Hime Cut
- Hot Mom
- I Dub Thee Sir Knight
- Lady of War
- By the time Ala Rubra and Cosmo Entelechia are already fighting head-to-head, as seen in Tertium's flashback, she's more of a regular Action Girl, going as far as pulling a Big Damn Heroes moment for Nagi himself when the latter is nearly beaten by Secundum.
- Mismatched Eyes: Revealed by Volume 26's cover.
- Missing Mom
- Mysterious Parent
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: By taking the blame for Asuna, she has enabled the Cosmo Entelecheia to continue their plans and has caused the Senate to view Negi as an enemy.
- Not So Stoic: Her normally aloof/serious demeanor pretty much shatters in Ch. 269 when Nagi confesses his love to her, giving way to lots of blushing, stuttering/stammering, and emotional outburst. Also, when he headbutted her to shut her up, we see a shocked Chibi!Arika.
- Oblivious to Love: Well, now we know where Negi gets it from.
- Overly-Long Name
- Royals Who Actually Do Something
- Self-Made Orphan: One of the crimes she was placed on trial for was assassinating her father.
- That Man Is Dead: Invoked by Nagi who claims that Queen Arika died and the Arika Nagi is with is just plain ol' Arika.
- Unusual Eyebrows
- Walk The Plank Her execution. At least, that was the idea.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: We never find out what happened to her. Her last chronological appearance or mention was twelve years before the story began.
- Zero Approval Gambit: She lets herself be accused and executed as the instigator of the great war. Thankfully, they only succeed in the first one.
Jack Rakan Jacobus 'Jack' RakanThe Thousand BladesAn extremely powerful warrior who's every bit as invincible as Nagi (the one time we saw them fight, it was a draw). He is a very laid-back and seemingly carefree person, loving nothing more in life than cute girls and powerful opponents. He primarily works as a mercenary, charging hilariously overpriced fees for his help, but ended up joining the Ala Rubra and fighting alongside them to save the world. Though he can use magic, it really isn't his style; he prefers to use swords, fists, and Ki Attacks. His decades of experience in battle leave him with few to no weaknesses as a fighter, a fact he tries to hide with his goofy attitude and lack of (apparent) strategy. In keeping with Kurt Godel, his name may be a reference to Jacques Lacan , psychoanalyst and philosopher. The two names would be identical in katakana. Voiced by: Rikiya Koyama (Drama CD and OAD.)
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass
- Curb-Stomp Battle
- Dark-Skinned Blond
- Defeat by Modesty: His modus operandi when dealing with cute girls.
- Defeat Means Friendship
- Determinator: After being erased from existence, he willed himself back. Repeat: he was erased from existence, and he temporarily forced himself back through sheer force of will. Twice! To Rakan, being erased from existence is like being Put on a Bus.
- Dirty Old Man
- Field of Blades
- Finishing Move: Negi and Rakan discuss the necessity of having a good finishing move.
- Game Breaker: An in-universe example. Jack Rakan is so ridiculously powerful, some of the older characters even say he's a "broken game character".
- A short and hard to read (due to small speech balloons) exchange between Rakan and Chamo illustrates the point perfectly.
Chamo: This isn't physically possible... Rakan: Make up for it with guts. - Genius Bruiser: Yes.
- Genius Ditz
- The Giant
- Gladiator Games
- Hard Work Hardly Works: An explicit aversion. While it certainly took him longer and he had to work harder to get there, he's still a fighter on par with Nagi.
- Heroic Resolve
- Heroic Willpower: It actually appears to be a power of his that increases his damage.
- Hidden Depths: On being capable of Mind Reading: "Nothing's impossible for me!" On being a surprisingly talented artist: "I have no weak points."
- Hot Blooded
- How Much More Can He Take?
- Idiot Hero: Not as stupid as Nagi, but he admits he's not much of a schemer compared to Gatou and Albireo. Rather than being unable to plan like Nagi, he actually seems like a reasonable intelligent person who chooses not to think about things.
- I Have Many Names: And all of them are awesome.
- Implacable Man
- Impossible Thief: In regards to his abilities to steal girls panties while they are wearing them, and without them even noticing.
- Indy Ploy: How he likes to operate.
- The Juggernaut
- Kamehame Hadoken: Rakan Impact.
- Large Ham
- Let's Get Dangerous
- Lightning Bruiser
- Lovable Sex Maniac
- Made of Iron: The vast majority of attacks used on him when he is being serious have little to no effect despite the fact that he's primarily a swordsman, not a mage
Though he's not bad at that either and thus isn't using a barrier. It turns out that he's negating a lot of the force behind attacks by turning his body slightly and going for glancing blows. - Mega Manning: He has copied Eishun's Zanmaken Ni no Tachi, Gateau's Muonken (Rakan For-The-Hell-Of-It Right Hand Punch looks pretty similar), Albireo's Gravity magic (Great Dimension Breaker), and Evangeline's Magia Erebea. Though it turns out the last one was a bad idea as he's entirely incompatible with it.
- Miser Advisor
- Names to Run Away From Really Fast: Bearer of a Thousand Blades. And hell, all of his names.
- Obfuscating Stupidity: Rakan is not as dumb as he acts. Not. Even. Close.
- The Obi-Wan: Complete with an Obi-Wan Moment. *
Two, in fact, as after the first one, he wills himself back into existence to Bright Slap Negi. - Odd Friendship: With Chisame.
- Older and Wiser: He becomes Negi's teacher.
- Older than They Look
- Panty Thief: To the point of using this as a fighting move.
- Pec Flex
- Pensieve Flashback
- Person of Mass Destruction
- Power Fist: Summons one in his final fight against Fate Averruncus, soon pinning Fate to the ground with it and then hammering him into a crater with a piston-powered strike. Then he disintegrates.
- Rapid Fire Fisticuffs
- Rated M for Manly
- Red Baron: "The Thousand Blades", "Legendary Hero", "Invincible Idiot", and "That Damn Guy You Can Stab With Swords All You Like And It Won't Do A Thing, Damnit!".
- Refuge in Audacity
- The Rival: Nagi's.
- Rule Of Cool: It is portrayed at first as though this is how he operates entirely, but it actually turns out to be a subversion. He's quite knowledgeable and even a good enough mage to break barrier dimensions, something that normally isn't possible.
- Screw Destiny:
Heh. "Illusions"? "Puppets"? Heheh, screw that crap!! - Self-Made Man: He was a war slave and fought his way up.
- Shipper on Deck: Like everyone else, he ships Konoka/Setsuna and makes a special move in honor of their first kiss. He also shipped Nagi/Arika 20 years ago.
- Shirtless Scene
- Shower of Awkward: With Chisame. He laughs it off.
- Showy Invincible Hero: And he's loving it.
- Sky Surfing
- Take Our Word for It: His account of the war is rather... lacking in detail.
"And, well, a whole bunch of things happened after that—before we knew it, we all became friends. And then, well...a whole buncha stuff happened after that. The war ended, and here we are now...and, uh...the end." - Testosterone Poisoning: The manly in Negima was saved up for him.
- Troperiffic: Seriously, if this list keeps growing, we're gonna have to give him his own page!
- The Nose Knows
- Unexplained Recovery: He gets written out of existence and comes back... TWICE!
- What Do You Mean, It's Not Awesome?: Most of Rakan's crazier attacks. "Eternal Negi Fever", the "In Celebration of My First Kiss With Ojou-sama!" technique, and "Rakan-For-The-Hell-Of-It Right Hand Punch!" come to mind.
- When All You Have Is a Hammer: His solution to almost any problem is to hit it with a big enough sword. Or dozens of them. Or flexing his muscles and being awesome.
- World's Strongest Man: As Nagi's rival, when Nagi vanished the title more or less passed to him.
Albireo Imma A powerful mage who is proficient with both gravity and healing magic in addition to his being a skilled unarmed combatant. At some point, he becomes a Minister Magi to Nagi and is revealed to have several more contracts in the past, all of which are dead. The fact that his pactio with Nagi remains active serves as a proof that the Thousand Master is indeed still alive, though Albireo himself doesn't know where he is. Albireo visibly takes delight in tormenting and playing mindgames with Evangeline and is labeled as one of the two of the vampire's natural enemies, the other being Nagi. He's even bold enough to call the Dark Evangel 'Kitty'. His actual age is unknown, but he himself alludes to the fact that he is Older Than He Looks. He is currently living underneath Library Island at Mahora.
Konoe Eishun Konoe EishunFormerly Aoyama Eishun A master of the Shinmeiryuu style, Eishun is currently head of the Kansai Magic Association. He is also Konoka's father. Before marrying into Konoe family was part of Aoyama clan (relation to Motoko and Tsuruko is unknown).
Gateau Kagura Vanderburg Takamichi's master. Deceased. Voiced by: Keiji Fujiwara (Only in the Ala Rubra Drama CD.)
Takahata Takamichi Death Glasses/The Eternal WindVoiced by: Tetsuya Iwanaga (Only in the Ala Rubra Drama CD.) Zect Filius A calm, collected and skilled warrior excelling in unarmed combat and counter magic. Nagi addresses Zect as "Oshisou", which means the same as "sensei" (i.e. teacher, master in the master/journeyman sense), but is more old-fashioned. Voiced by: Jun Fukuyama: Only in the Drama CD.
