Haru Glory

The hero. Haru Glory came from a small island that's referred to as incredibly far out in the sticks and lacks knowledge of most any world history or geographical features. He's incredibly strong willed and noted for having a good heart. He was chosen to be the Rave Master who was to eliminate the Dark Bring.

• Accidental Pervert: He ends up in unintentionally perverted situations with Elie several times. He has accidentally looked up her skirt while he's crawling under a table (this was their first meeting), groped her and seen her naked twice.
• All-Loving Hero: He's merciful, compassionate and very naive.
• Always Save the Girl: Haru fights a youth-restored Shiba and is getting his ass handed to him. Haru tries to motivate himself by thinking about how the world will be doomed if he loses, but it doesn't work. Then he thinks about how if he loses, Elie will cry, then defeats his opponent in a single blow.
• Back from the Dead: In the finale, the Star Memory revives Haru one year after his Heroic Sacrifice.
• Beware the Nice Ones: As the Oracion Seis found out.
• Big Brother Instinct: Inverted since he's the younger brother. Branch suffers a lot for harming Haru's sister.
• Boisterous Bruiser: Despite being a Technical Pacifist he often yells a lot in battle.
• Bully Hunter: Started when he punished Branch for abusing Cattleya.
• Calling Your Attacks: He always blurts out any change to his sword.
• Cannot Spit It Out: He doesn't get to confess to Elie for thirty four volumes (she isn't in the first). When he does confess, it's a Dying Declaration of Love.
• The Champion: During his duel with a youth-restored Shiba, Haru is forced to find his reason to fight and save the world. Thinking about his friends and family can't give him enough strength. His sword obtains overwhelming power only when he thinks about Elie and how much he wants to protect her from anything that makes her cry. It's then that Haru knows for sure Elie is the one he fights for.
• The Chosen One: He was chosen to be the Rave Master who will save the world.
• Covered in Scars: After his fight with Doryu, some of the scars from the battle remain on his body for the rest of the series.
• Covert Pervert: He supports the idea of Elie wearing a very revealing dancing outfit.
• Crazy Jealous Guy: Downplayed, but he has admitted that one of the reasons he hates Lucia is because he kissed Elie right in front of him.
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: A large chunk of the manga's humor comes from stupid things that leave his mouth, but he's still the strongest character among the Rave Warriors.
• Curtains Match the Window: He has grey eyes and grey hair.
• Declaration of Protection: He declares that protecting Elie is his main motivation.
• Determinator: It doesn't matter how much he gets beat up or how outclassed he is, he never quits.
• Dub Name Change: Not Haru himself, but rather the Ten Commandments, which becomes the Ten Powers.
• Dying Declaration of Love: He confesses his love to Elie right before she destroys the Endless with him inside. He comes Back from the Dead one year later.
• Elemental Rivalry: As revealed by Ruby in the Doryu Arc, Haru is elementally aligned with Light, which makes him a nemesis of the Darkness-aligned Doryu and Lucia.
• Eye Scream: Played for Laughs. Whenever Haru does accidental pervert things, Elie will sometimes stick her Tonfas in his eyes.
• The Fettered: He has set morals that prevent him from going extreme against evil. To cite one specific example, he's very much opposed to needless killing.
• The Hero: He is the central good guy working against Demon Card's evil activities.
• Heroic Sacrifice: In the final battle, Haru gets stuck inside Endless and asks Elie to destroy it with him inside. He gets better.
• Hidden Depths: Has proven smarter than he looks when facing a villain's Motive Rant. In the face of Let's Blood Knight desires and talk of honor, he criticizes how meaningless honor is when fighting evil. When he hears Lucia's reasons for hating the world, he rightly points out that the world doesn't exist just for him and his suffering doesn't mean others don't have the right to live.
• Hot-Blooded: He tends to run quickly into a fight. Runs in the family.
• How Do I Shot Web?: He doesn't know how to use the Ten Commandments at first but he learns fast. One of the usual justifications for him learning the Ten Commandments' other forms is that the Rave of knowledge grants him innate wisdom just at the exact moment it's needed.
• Ideal Hero: Caring, compassionate, idealistic and always ready to fight for what's right.
• Idiot Hero: It's not too extreme, but he has some pretty dumb moments.
• Instant Expert: Justified by the Rave of Wisdom.
• Justice Will Prevail: He often preaches about peace and harmony for all.
• Leeroy Jenkins: Like Father, Like Son, as both he and his dad often rush into things blindly.
• Legacy Character: The second one to inherit the title of Rave Master in the story.
• Light Is Good; He is elementally aliened with Light, and his Morph Weapon has a form, "Million Suns".
• Magnetic Hero: Almost no story arc passes without him acquiring one new team member, starting with Plue, then Griff, Elie, Musica, Shuda, Ruby, Sieg Hart, Evermary, Lazenby, and eventually Julius right before the final battle.
• Morph Weapon: The Ten Commandments, a sword with ten different forms.
• Mr. Fanservice: He's often shirtless or exposing his chest.
• Multiform Balance: Haru's sword counts as this as each one give him a different set of abilities
  • Eisenmeteor is the default form as it has not special abilities, but it can easily overcome anything magical.
  • Explosion is a Glass Cannon as it can unleash explosions, but can quickly use up stamina.
  • Silfarion is a Fragile Speedster as it makes Haru light.
  • Rune Save is Anti-Magic as it can seal magic and be able to damage anything intangible, but it can't cut anything physical.
  • Blue Crimson is a dual Elemental Powers sword as it uses Fire and Ice.
  • Melforce is a Lightning Bruiser as he is able to easily blow anything away or paralyze them.
  • Gravity Core is Mighty Glacier as it can break any heavy objects, but requires great strength to wield.
  • Million Suns is Light 'em Up as it is able to destroy darkness.
  • Sacrifar is a The Berserker Deadly Upgrade as it gives Haru immense power, but at the cost of him being filled with anger.
  • Ravelt is a Super Mode as it give Haru the full power of Rave.
• My Sister Is Off-Limits: He's very pissed when he hears Shuda is now his "brother-in-law". Especially because he saw Cattleya in her underwear in Shuda's memories.
• New Powers as the Plot Demands: He explicitly has the power to learn a new form for his sword whenever he's in a sticky spot. It comes from the Rave of knowledge.
• Nice Guy: In typical Stock Shōnen Hero fashion, he's a bit simple-minded but makes up for this with his kind, compassionate nature.
• Official Couple: Haru marries Elie at the end of the manga.
• One-Man Army: A stand-alone example would be when he takes on 10,000 demons all by himself.
• Powers via Weapon: He wields the Ten Commandments, a magical sword that has ten different forms which each give him a power, such as supersonic speed, increased power via anger, and holy light.
• Refusal of the Call: Because his sister forbade it.
• Royal Blood: His grandfather was the last king of Symphonia.
• Second Love: To Elie. Her first love was Shiba.
• She Is Not My Girlfriend: He tries denying there's anything more than friendship between him and Elie. He's not fooling anyone there.
• Shonen Hair: He has spiky, messy hair, as befits a traditional Shonen protagonist.
• Star-Crossed Lovers: Subverted at the end of the story. Haru is trapped inside the Endless and Elie is the only one who can destroy the monster before it destroys the world. Haru asks Elie to destroy the Endless alongside him and the two declare their love for each other as Elie tearfully complies his request. After the battle is over, Elie loses her memories again, possibly due to wanting to forget the pain of losing Haru. Fortunately, Haru is revived by the Star Memory and reunites with Elie, who recovers her memories when she sees Haru again.
• Stock Shōnen Hero: Haru is energetic, naive and simpleminded sometimes to the point of stupidity, but still a determined, kind and compassionate guy with a strong sense of justice. He gathers many friends and allies throughout the story, some of which started as his enemies. He's very strong, but his true power comes from his desire to protect his friends and Elie.
• Strong Family Resemblance: Looks nearly identical to his dad.
• Take a Third Option: Stab Elie or let the power of Etherion inside her destroy the world? Use Rune Save to seal Etherion.
• Technical Pacifist: He won't kill his enemies if he can avoid it, but will fight whenever he needs to.
• Temporal Theme Naming: Hiro Mashima's lead always has a season based name. His means "spring."
• Thou Shalt Not Kill: He refuses to kill people if given the choice.
• Took a Level in Badass: Although it cannot be denied that Haru was already a badass in the series' beginning, it's when he believes that his dad is the one who leads Demon Card that he takes a whole new level of badass since he beats King's entire army single-handedly.
• Unresolved Sexual Tension: Haru has strong feelings for Elie in the same way she has for him, not that any of them ever goes around to actually be open about they feel for each other.
• Unstoppable Rage:
  • When he uses Sacrifar and when Lucia almost kills Shuda.
  • How can one forget how he went apeshit on the Oracion Seis after they beat his friends so gruesomely?
• Wide-Eyed Idealist: Believes in the inner good of everyone, even when they don't listen to reason.

Plue

Rave's bearer. Plue is a dog(?) with an unknown gender and age who travels with either the wielder of Etherion or the Rave (or both) and helps guide them. He doesn't do much as far as guiding them, but he does occasionally help either Haru or Elie when they're in a tight spot. He came dangerously close to being renamed Shabutaro by Haru and Cattleya.

• Call a Smeerp a "Rabbit": Or a fish, a dog, a bug, a cat, an alien, a dinosaur, a water demon, and a snowman.
• Cartoon Creature: No one, not even the writer, is sure what he is. All we know is that he looks like a snowman but has paw pads like a dog or cat and that, in Fairy Tail lore, he's a celestial spirit.
• Extreme Omnivore: He's known to have eaten suckers, beetles, and a porcelain doll.
• Mistaken for Badass: By the islanders in the backstory of how Plue met Griffon. He is mistakenly thought to have held back an entire battleship with brute strength.
• Non-Human Sidekick: He's a dog-creature that serves as Haru's main companion.
• Pokémon Speak: He can only say his own name.
• Super Drowning Skills: For all his skills, he cannot swim-
• Sweet Tooth: Loves his sweets. But not pudding.
• Too Dumb to Live: He frequently goes into water knowing he'll drown.

Elie

The main female. Elie is a cheerful amnesiac girl who's just a little off and really likes bugs. She and Haru met in a racing track (a casino, in the anime) where she quickly fell for him because of his kind heart. She follows him around and is revealed to possess the ultimate magic, known as Etherion. She also bears a strong resemblance to Resha Valentine, who passed away fifty years ago, to everyone's continuous confusion.

• Action Girl: She started actively fighting on her own the first time the team fought the Oracion Six, and as time goes on, she's ultimately strong enough to blow holes in Cosmic Horrors.
• Agony of the Feet: Suffers this when she runs out into the badlands with no shoes on to go find a plant that could possibly cure a deflated Plue and doesn't realize she went barefoot until after smacking her foot on a rock and discovering and rubbing a ton of scrapes on her soles. When he finds her, Haru tears a sleeve and bandages her feet, then carries her piggyback. In the manga, she had on sandals that she took off in exhaustion from numerous failed attempts to re-inflate Plue, while in the anime, she was just too neglectful and hasty to put her boots on after leaving the hot spring and stayed barefoot.
• Amnesiac Hero: Elie doesn't have memories of her past nor her identity. She's travelling to find clues of who she is. It's not a big surprise that she turns out to have a big connection to the Rave stones because she created them.
• Amnesia Danger: Had she retained her memories she could have wiped every villain from existence rather than being kidnapped by each and every one (save King).
• Anguished Declaration of Love: She tells Haru she loves him right before she's forced to blow him up along with the Endless.
• Apocalypse Maiden: Sieg Hart initially tries to kill Elie because he deems the power of Etherion inside her body to be a threat to the world. This is later subverted; Elie's Etherion is the only thing that can destroy the Endless and save the world from it.
• Babies Ever After: The very last scene of the manga is Haru and Elie getting married. This is followed up by us seeing their son, Levin in a short and humorous epilogue with Nakajima involved and the older couple comes back with a present for him to find he's been fully converted into Nakajima's disciple.
• Blessed with Suck: Etherion, until she regains control of it.
• Born Lucky: She's usually in charge of winning money for the group through gambling because she has such good luck that the best way to gain money fast is to set her loose in a casino.
• Clingy Jealous Girl: Doesn't like seeing Haru with other girls.
• Cloudcuckoolander: It's hard to understand her strange ideas and behaviors. For example, when Plue deflated, what was the solution she came up with? Let's bury him, that'll help. He needs dirt.
• Curtains Match the Window: A brown-haired girl with brown eyes.
• The Cutie: She's the cute and bubbly girl of the main team.
• Damsel in Distress: At least once per Arc Villain except King, she will be captured as part of the plot. By the fifth time around, she's gotten better at handling it.
• Deuteragonist: Although her forgotten memories make up a huge bulk of the story's past, it's ultimately Haru who keeps the story going in the present.
• Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: In response to Lucia's And Now You Must Marry Me in the finale, and her powers are sealed by an Anti-Magic bracelet, she tries shooting him the face. Even though she sees she can't hurt him, she still defies him and spits in his face, knowing fully well how easily he could kill her.
• Dude Magnet: Haru, Shiba back when she was Resha and many other males are instantly drawn to her. Unfortunately, it also gets negative attention. To clarify, Lucia when he becomes the ruler of the original world wants her to be his bride and Ogre wants her to be his plaything.
• Fear of Thunder: Elie has a paralyzing fear of storms. It's Sieg's fault; the first thing Elie remembers after getting amnesia is Sieg almost killing her by electrocution.
• First Girl Wins: Elie is the first to become Haru's travelling companion. She's Haru's indisputable main love interest throughout the entire series and she gets married and has a son with him at the end.
• Forgotten First Meeting: She had one of sorts with Haru. Haru met her as Resha back in Symphonia when he traveled back in time.
• Genki Girl: She's continually cheerful and optimistic.
• Ghost Memory: Assumed by everyone after Elie reveals she has a connection to Resha Valentine's memories, but they are actually her own memories.
• Given Name Reveal: "Elie" is a nickname she gave to herself because she doesn't remember her real name. Her true name is finally revealed towards the end of the story; Resha Valentine.
• Guns Akimbo: Her fighting style consists of firing bullets from the pair of tonfa-blasters she wields on each arm.
• Guns Are Useless: She has two tonfas with built in guns. At best they cause Amusing Injuries.
• Human Popsicle: Shortly after she abandoned her identity as Resha Valentine and lost her memory, Elie used a spell to freeze her body for 50 years.
• Identity Amnesia: Elie doesn't have any memories of her past and true identity. She is actually Resha Valentine, who lost her memories from the effects of overusing Etherion.
• Kill the Ones You Love: In the final battle, she's forced to destroy the Endless with Haru inside. Fortunately, Haru is revived by the Star Memory.
• Laser-Guided Amnesia: Having no idea who she is or how to use her magic doesn't stop her from reading a dead language.
• Line-of-Sight Name: When she woke up at the destroyed Etherion Research Center, she didn't even remember her own name. She saw the ELIE tattoo in her arm and then decided to call herself Elie.
• MacGuffin Super-Person: Many villains seek her for her power. For example, Doryu wants her for her Etherion power and Hardner wants wants to merge with her in order to merge with the Endless.
• Magic Staff: Gets one in the Blue Guardians arc, to which she uses it to harness her true power.
• Meaningful Name: Elie's name is initially thought to be a test subject mark, but is actually the coordinates for her empty grave.
• Ms. Fanservice: As if her short skirt, long legs, and tank top revealing her full arms and most of her stomach that she wears as her casual outfit weren't enough, Elie also has by far the biggest breasts out of the female cast which her outfit gladly shows off. Episode 19 has her flat out dressing in a bikini and later on dressing up as a belly dancer which she did when she was Resha. Slightly lessened once Belinka, Celia and Julia came along and took some of the load off her, though it didn't stop Elie from the being the go-to fanservice girl of the franchise. Elie even gets a major Fanservice Pack upgrade in the one-shot OVA crossover with Fairy Tail with her breasts even bigger and on full display.
• My God, What Have I Done?: When she remembers she's Resha, Elie nearly breaks down from guilt at seeing all of the Symphonia kingdom from the past grieving over Resha's "death".
• Name Amnesia: She doesn't remember her true name, only calling herself "Elie" because of the tattoo in her arm. She eventually remembers her real name is Resha Valentine.
• Never Got to Say Goodbye: Elie arrives at the end of Haru's duel with Shiba and Shiba uses his last bit of strength to hug Elie, having realized Elie is Resha. Elie doesn't remember her true identity until after she travels to the past. The overwhelming regret over never apologizing to Shiba for making him think she died nearly drives Elie to reveal herself to the Shiba from the past, but Haru stops her so history doesn't change.
• Nice Girl: While a little immature, she's nothing but a sweet, kindhearted and positive individual who, not surprisingly, falls for the hero thanks to his kindness.
• Official Couple: Elie and Haru get married at the end of the manga.
• Older Than She Looks: Elie is actually 66 years old, but still looks like a 16-year-old because she spent 50 years frozen in ice.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: She doesn't remember her true name; Elie is the name she chose to call herself based on the tattoo located on her upper arm. Near the end of the series, her true name is revealed (or confirmed) to be Resha Valentine, but since she abandoned her old identity 50 years ago, she wants her friends to continue calling her Elie even after remembering her entire past.
• Plucky Girl: Elie's best feature is her spunkiness.
• Power Incontinence: Elie, as Resha, did not learn to use Etherion willingly. Etherion was infused in her as part of an experiment to make her an all-powerful force that could oppose the Dark Bring, but gave her so much power that she couldn't properly control it. Etherion surged wildly and went into a catastrophic meltdown that ultimately catapulted her 50 years forward in time and erased her memories. When others find out she has this magic inside her, Elie continues to be unable to control it, and when it gets used in full once more, it threatens to surge again.
• Prone to Tears: She's a heck of a lot more prone to tears after getting back her memory.
• Protectorate: The person Haru wants to protect the most is Elie.
• Quest for Identity: At first, she travels in order to find her memory. However, later she begins to fear recovering her memory, knowing she might become a different person.
• Sacred First Kiss: Lucia stole her first kiss, leaving her in tears.
• Shorttank: A perfect example. Elie is the feisty female lead in a Shōnen series, wears a tanktop and a miniskirt, and can fire rounds of bullets with her tonfa blasters.
• Single Woman Seeks Good Man: She quickly fell for Haru because of his kind heart.
• The Smurfette Principle: Unlike Julia joins much later, Elie is the only girl in Haru's team.
• Star-Crossed Lovers: Subverted at the end of the story. Haru is trapped inside the Endless and Elie is the only one who can destroy the monster before it destroys the world. Haru asks Elie to destroy the Endless alongside him and the two declare their love for each other as Elie tearfully complies his request. After the battle is over, Elie loses her memories again, possibly due to wanting to forget the pain of losing Haru. Fortunately, Haru is revived by the Star Memory and reunites with Elie, who recovers her memories when she sees Haru again.
• Story-Breaker Power: Etherion is the ultimate magic. If she knew how to use it from the start, there would be no point in having other Rave Warriors.
• Strong Family Resemblance: According to a childhood memory of her parents, Elie takes after her mother especially when Elie had longer hair as Resha.
• The Three Faces of Eve: The bubbly, simple-minded Child of the female Rave Warriors.
• Tomato in the Mirror: Elie's uncanny resemblance to the deceased creator of the Rave stones, Resha Valentine, is one of the biggest mysteries in the series. Near the end of the series, she finally remembers that she is Resha Valentine.
• Took a Level in Badass: During the second half of the series, she becomes a far more powerful fighter than she was throughout the first.
• Town Girls: The Neither. Elie is girlier than Julia yet somewhat of a tomboy when compared to Belnika.
• Trauma-Induced Amnesia: In the epilogue of the manga, Elie once again lost her memory due to the trauma of being forced to kill the man she loves to save the world. Her memory immediately returns when Haru is brought back safely by the Star Memory.
• Trigger-Happy: At least in the beginning, she usually takes out her tonfas when she gets angry.
• Two Aliases, One Character: In the final volumes, Elie and Resha Valentine are revealed to be one and the same.
• Unresolved Sexual Tension: Elie and Haru spend the entire manga completely unable of coming around and being open about their obvious attraction to each other.
• You Are Number 6: Sieg claims she is an experiment created to bring back Resha's Etherion and the tattoo in her arm doesn't mean Elie, but Test Subject 3173. However, turns out Sieg was wrong; ELIE 3173 are really the coordinates to Resha Valentine's empty grave.
• You Can't Go Home Again: Her home country Symphonia no longer exists.

Griff

A strange blue creature originally recruited by Elie to help her and Haru reach the mountain they suspect a Rave stone to be at. He quickly becomes a member of the main cast, and is supposed to be very skilled at map making. His hobby is peeping on Elie. Every other character is better than him.

• The Load: Invaluable as he is as a cartographer and navigator, he is completely useless in a fight.
• Non-Human Sidekick: Though, like Plue, we never learn what kind of creature he is.
• Normally, I Would Be Dead Now: Being sliced in two does normally kill one. What kind of bizarre natural selection gives someone the ability to become two people after being sliced in two? What kind of bizarre natural selection makes anything like Griff, for that matter.
• The Peeping Tom: Downplayed in the dub, where he's more obsessed with Master Plue, than peeping on Elie.

Hamrio Musica

A silver claimer (someone who can manipulate silver) and former gang leader who teams up with Haru after reuniting with his grandfather. He a close friend of Haru's and one of the more capable fighters in the crew, wielding a spear. He eventually strikes up a relation with one of the Demon Card generals, but it didn't work out.

• Battle Couple: He and Reina defeat Ogre together.
• The Blacksmith: He forges for Haru the final form of his Ten Commandments.
• Chick Magnet: His ex-girlfriend Melodia, Remi, Reina, Nagisa...
• Dating Catwoman: Musica develops a mutual attraction with Reina, a member of Oracion Seis, while fighting each other on opposite sides. However, by the time she does consider changing sides she has to sacrifice herself in order to stop the Silver Ray from causing a potentially catastrophic explosion.
• Deadpan Snarker: Very often when talking to Haru.
• Did Not Get the Girl: Reina is the only woman who ever was a serious romantic option for him, but she sacrifices her life just when a romance was starting to blossom between them.
• Expository Hairstyle Change: He changes his hairstyle for a spiky one during the Shuda mini-arc, after which he permanently joins the Rave Warriors.
• Extra-ore-dinary: He can change the shape of silver (and later, any metal) at will.
• Heartbroken Badass: Reina dies right after she shared her one and only kiss with Musica. With her sacrifice, however, Musica gets a new spear made from his silver and Reina's, and he continues to fight alongside the Rave Warriors while carrying Reina's memory.
• I Call It "Vera": After Reina dies, some of her silver merges with his, and he occasionally refers to his spear by her name.
• Impossible Theft: He somehow steals Nagisa's panties while she's still wearing them and she doesn't even notice it for a while.
• Last-Name Basis: Only his grandfather calls him Hamrio.
• Likes Older Women: He develops romantic feelings for Reina, who is five years older than him.
• Morph Weapon: The silver he carries with him.
• The Mourning After: After Reina dies, he has no serious romantic relationship with anyone else for the rest of the story.
• Panty Thief: He steals Nagisa's panties when they first meet. He also steals her bra a couple of times.
• Sadistic Choice: Blow up your friends, or blow up the only woman you'll ever have a relationship with.
• Star-Crossed Lovers: With Reina. The Silver Ray was about to explode and one person needed to stay behind in order to have the explosion lessened so that no other lives would be sacrificed in the crossfire. Made all the more tragic as the two had finally managed to develop romantic feelings for each other just before this. The spear that Musica wields from that moment onwards in a constant reminder of that failure and that she'd always be with him.

Let Dahaka

Originally he was only interested in a challenging fight, and working for King as part of his Quirky Mini Boss Squad in order to find them. Let goes over to Haru's side after being awed by Haru's pure heart and desire to protect the whole world.

• Adaptation Dye-Job: In the manga and Fairy Tail crossover his hair is white. In the anime, it's blond.
• Anime Hair: Super Saiyan 3 style no less, until he became human. Even after he became human, his hair still looks like a Super Saiyan's one.
• Battle Couple: Once he reverts his girlfriend Julia back to her human form, she's revealed to be as much of a badass as Let and they often fight together.
• Bishōnen Line: A heroic example, undergoing a ritual to banish his reptilian nature to achieve greater strength. This is later inverted in the finale as he becomes more draconic till he becomes a full dragon to defeat his enemy.
• Blood Knight: Initially as a member of King's Quirky Mini Boss Squad. Downplayed when he became a Technical Pacifist like the rest of the group, but still has shades of it.
• Breath Weapon: He can breathe fire.
• Chastity Couple: Let and Julia look and act like they're Vitriolic Best Buds most of the time (or Julia acts this way, and Let acts like the team grandpa). While a relationship is there if you know to look for it, you only know to look because each has a single occasion where they openly say there's something between them.
• Childhood Friend Romance: He was friends with his girlfriend Julia since childhood.
• The Comically Serious: Let is The Stoic and suffers from Honor Before Reason at times. So of course his girlfriend is a hard drinking party girl.
• Crazy Jealous Guy: Julia knows that Let can get violently jealous and usually warns any man who makes a pass at her, although it's more of an Informed Attribute.
• Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Several suicide attacks. He manages to use three. In a story with lots of death, he's good at slipping around it.
• Draconic Humanoid: At least initially. All members of the Dragon Race go through a phase where they spend some time in this state, before either conquering or succumbing to their inner dragon. Let conquers his and becomes more human-like in appearance afterward. His former flame, Julia, succumbed, and ended up a full-fledged dragon. At least until he cures her.
• Elemental Baggage: Fire-breathing.
• Heel–Face Turn: Introduced as part of King's Quirky Mini Boss Squad.
• Insistent Terminology: He's dragon race, not an alligator, and definitely not a human.
• Good Old Fisticuffs: Even working for King, he refuses to use a Dark Bring and prefers hand-to-hand combat, though he's not above breathing fire on occasion.
• Limited Wardrobe: Most of the cast is better about it.
• Meaningful Name: His name is based off of Malet, which Hiro Mashima chose to describe his fighting style.
• Noble Demon: In the beginning, he claims he's only traveling with Haru and co so he can study their weaknesses for the next time they fight. He grows out of this pretty quick though.
• One-Winged Angel: A heroic one in which he crosses the Bishōnen Line into the form he remains in the rest of the series. He temporarily becomes a huge dragon in the finale.
• Opposites Attract: Let is calm, collected and cool-headed, while his girlfriend Julia is loud, brash, and hot-headed.
• Punch-Clock Villain: He's not nearly as kill happy as most of the Demon Card, only interested in fights prior his Heel–Face Turn.
• Redemption Promotion: While he was by no means weak in his debut, after his Heel–Face Turn, he manages to win a fight against Jegan, whom was stronger than him for most of his life ^note Jegan also had a powerful Dark Bring as one of the Oracion Seis and would have won his fight with Hardner if not for Hardner's Healing Factor and he still managed to deal enough damage to help Haru win.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni:
  • Two ways, the more pragmatic and level headed to Haru's brash impulsiveness and Musica's more frivolous behavior.
  • Even to his own girlfriend, who's more hot-tempered than he is.
• Scars Are Forever: From Jegan's attack, he initially had it covered under a headband prior his crossing the Bishōnen Line.
• Sssnake Talk: In the dub, initially prior his Bishōnen Line, when he talks normally.
• The Stoic: Early on, he shows little to no emotion. He becomes Not So Stoic after becoming human.

Ruby

A penguin-like creature who inherited a large sum of money and giant floating casino from his late father. He's dismayed to learn he's been funding a criminal origination and ends up going to Haru for protection when he refuses to continue giving Doryu money. He becomes their first safe magic user after Sieg reveals he has the gift, but he's generally considered useless by the cast.

• Attack Reflector: Can also use this type of spell in combat.
• Bad Liar: The heroic version of Bond Villain Stupidity.
• Cannot Keep a Secret: See Bad Liar above, with the exception of one, important secret: the fact that Haru choose him as the third Rave Master should he perish.
• Collector of the Strange: A trait which was used by Doryu's gang to milk him for cash. He does have standards, though, as he refuses to accept stolen items and when he receives an endangered but gorgeous bird he decides to set him free.
• The Ditz: He's comically inguenue, has little common sense and doesn't seem really smart. Yet somehow he masters magic.
• I Just Want to Be Special: He becomes ecstatic when Sieg Hart tells him he has the potential to be a mage. He doesn't disappoint.
• Improbable Weapon User: A bell that can turn into a sword. It originally belonged to Dalmatian, one of the Four Knights of the Blue Sky.
• The Millstone: At times due to his inability to lie and his annoying tendency to blurt out whatever he's thinking, alerting the bad guys.
• My God, What Have I Done?: When he realizes that the people he thought were his best friends, like Doryu, were criminals who were using him to fund their operations.
• Non-Human Sidekick: He doesn't look like a penguin, like a pig-bird at least.
• Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: He's not good at keeping track of his money.
• Secret-Keeper: Haru trusts him enough to tell him who the next Rave Master will be after Haru dies. Amazingly, he keeps this secret.
• Talking Animal: A penguin?
• Took a Level in Badass: Once he learns magic.
• Verbal Tic: "Poyo!" And it's contagious. When the gang first encounters it several try to imitate it. At one point, even The Comically Serious Sieg uses it.
• Wide-Eyed Idealist: He still insist in seeing something good in Doryuu even after learning his backstory.

Julia Line Dragoon

Let's polar-opposite girlfriend. She spent a good deal of time stuck as a dragon under Jegan's control, but once she changes back she joins Haru's team. She's the most violent member of the team, especially when it comes to her boyfriend, but she also takes on a somewhat motherly role. She also really wants Haru and Elie to hook up.

---

• Action Girl: She beats the crap out of people a lot more than her boyfriend. And especially her boyfriend.
• Battle Couple: With Let. They're romantically involved and they also fight together once they're reunited.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: She spends a long time as a dragon under Jegan's control.
• Breath Weapon: Like Let, she can breathe Fire. Most notably, it's the only Dragon Race technique she ever uses.
• Characterization Marches On: For a long while, she was portrayed as the Girl Next Door to Let. Cue to the Blue Guardians Arc, where this is changed to more of an Action Girl with a drinking problem and no problem with her nudity. Let most likely heavily idealized her and her memory. It also helps that we only get brief glimpses of his memories of her.
• Chastity Couple: Let and Julia look and act like they're Vitriolic Best Buds most of the time (or Julia acts this way, and Let acts like the team grandpa). While a relationship is there if you know to look for it, you only know to look because each has a single occasion where they openly say there's something between them.
• Childhood Friend Romance: She and Let have been close since they were kids and became a couple when they got older.
• Cool Big Sis: She's the headstrong, but caring older sister figure of the Rave Master team.
• Death Faked for You: Let believed Julia was killed by Jegan, but the truth is Jegan only made someone else's corpse look like Julia so Let would give up on her and Jegan could have Julia to himself. It's when Let meets Jegan again that he finds out Julia is still alive, but trapped in the form of a dragon.
• Forced Transformation: Her race go through a phase where they become Draconic Humanoids and must go to a temple to perform a ritual and return to human form. Julia performed the ritual outside a temple and got trapped in the form of a giant dragon.
• Full-Frontal Assault: When Julia faces off with an especially perverted member of the Six Guard who tries to submit her to Defeat by Modesty by using his powers to blow apart her clothing, Julia rips off the remains of her own bra to prove the point that modesty will not defeat her. She then proceeds to kick his ass with no regard to her nudity.
• Hard-Drinking Party Girl: She once gets drunk enough to use a wine bottle like a walkie-talkie.
• Intimate Healing: After Let defeats Jegan and Julia returns to her human form with a elixir, Julia saves Let by sharing the elixir with him through a kiss.
• Kiss of Death: How she finishes off Jiero, with a fire breath right down her throat.
• The Lad-ette: Noisy, brash, aggressive, and a bigger drinker than any of the guys in the main team.
• Ms. Fanservice: She's very attractive and also a Shameless Fanservice Girl who ends up in skimpy bikinis more than once.
• Opposites Attract: Julia is loud, brash, and hot-headed, while her boyfriend Let is calm, collected and cool-headed.
• Our Dragons Are Different: Her dragon form is that of a massive, dark-colored dragon with six wings, horns and fins on the sides of her head. She's also mindless and under the control of Jegan, at the time.
• Shameless Fanservice Girl: Julia doesn't give a damn about others seeing her naked.
• Shipper on Deck: As stated above, for Haru and Elie.
• Taking You with Me: Attempted during one fight against an opponent who could turn himself into acid. When her regular attacks don't work, she resorts to throw herself and him out of the airship they were fighting on and tricks him into liquefying that he evaporates into nothing while she fully intended to fall to her death. Luckily a nearby dragon happened to show up and save her.
• The Three Faces of Eve: The fiery and shameless Seductress of the female Rave Warriors.
• Town Girls: The Butch. To contrast Belnika and Elie, Julia is definitely more action-prone, rough and violent.
• Wrestler in All of Us: Her style is more akin to grappling rather then martial arts that her boyfriend uses.

Belnika

A sweet, somewhat timid girl who underwent experiments in order to gain Etherion. They failed, but she acquired some powerful magic nonetheless. Her specialty is healing. She was duped into working for Hardner but quickly switches to Haru's side.

---

• 11th-Hour Ranger: She joins the Rave Warriors in the last parts of the manga.
• Anti-Magic: Her real ability, aside from the Etherion-like ones she first displayed.
• Beware the Nice Ones: She goes ballistic on Jiero, one of the Four Demon Kings.
• Celibate Heroine: She always spurns Musica's advances, which kind of creep her out. She does take a liking to Haru, though.
• Covert Pervert: Despite having many Proper Lady traits and being a bit shy in general, she certainly isn't above staring intently at Haru's crotch when he gets naked the evening before the final battle.
• Curtains Match the Window: Blue hair to match her blue eyes.
• Eating the Eye Candy: When a drunk Haru strips down in front of everyone, Belnika can't keep her eyes off of his exposed crotch.
• The Medic: She's also good with healing magic. In her first encounter with Haru she provides him a cloth band that placates the wounds he got from Doryuu.
• Shy Blue-Haired Girl: At first she is shy but becomes assertive later on.
• Silk Hiding Steel: A Nice Girl but don't forget her magic.
• Power at a Price: Her magic was obtained through rigorous training that they heavily imply was incredibly painful, but her magic is pretty sweet.
• The Three Faces of Eve: The demure and well-mannered Wife of the female Rave Warriors.
• Town Girls: The Femme. Belnika is much more traditionally feminine and ladylike than Elie and Julia could ever be.

Allies

Shuda

The first general of Demon Card that Haru encounters. He joined after Haru's father, one of DC's founders got him interested, and has a tedious friendship with Gale. He helps out but doesn't seem to want to be included as part of the inner circle. He's also dating Haru's sister.

Voiced by: Toshihiko Seki (JP), Crispin Freeman (EN)

---

• An Arm and a Leg: Chooses to cut off his left hand rather than let Haru save him. Near the end of the manga, he's about to cut off his right after having found himself in the near-exact same position again, until Haru gives him a reason to live.
• Anime Hair: He's the Vegeta of this universe.
• Artificial Limbs: After he removes the real one.
• Big Ol' Eyebrows: Sports pretty large, saw-like eyebrows, as commented once by Musica.
• Brought Down to Badass: His second Dark Bring is destroyed when he tries to use it against Lucia, but he doesn't let it slow him down.
• Crazy Jealous Guy: He was not happy to meet Cattleya's ex.
• Cool Sword: Gale Glory gave him one after they fought and he lost.
  • Katanas Are Just Better: His new sword, which he obtained by Gale Glory, said to be of divine origins.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: Dishes out one to Haru in their first fight until Haru breaks his Dark Bring and leaves.
• Defeat Means Friendship: Though it's implied he changed sides more because he was already close to Haru's dad and sister.
• Disc-One Final Boss: Appears to be one but then becomes The Dragon.
• Discard and Draw: Gave his old Dark Bring to one of his underlings at the start of the series because he was receiving a better one. After it was broken by Haru, he replaced it with another new one by the time they fought again.
• Fiery Redhead: A hot blooded redhead with appropriate fire-based powers.
• Extra-ore-dinary: His very first Dark Bring, which he gave to Favel, allowed him to turn his body into shiny metal.
• Four-Star Badass: He is a general in the Demon Card.
• I Gave My Word: He sticks by Haru because Gale tearfully made him swear he would protect his son.
• Improbable Aiming Skills: Though not in the sense of projectile aiming, his Dark Bring does require this kind of ability.
• Life-or-Limb Decision: It isn't really that situation, and he opts for neither, but it reminds you of one.
• No One Should Survive That!: We still don't know how he survived a 1000+ foot fall after lopping of an arm. Leads too...
• Normally, I Would Be Dead Now: The most we get of anyone mentioning this is scolding Sieg for sounding disappointed when saying he thought Shuda died.
• Offscreen Romance: After the death of Haru's father Gale, Shuda travels to Garage Island to deliver the news to Haru's sister Cattleya. The next time we see him, Shuda shows Haru's group fragments of his memories with Cattleya which end with Cattleya in her underwear and Shuda telling Haru they're brothers-in-law now.
• Playing with Fire: His Dark Brings' power. The first created flames, the second created explosions.
• Real Men Wear Pink: And are the king of ballet.
• Serious Business: For him, dancing contests. To an almost ridicolous degree.
• Wake-Up Call Boss: Easily defeats Haru in their first encounter, only leaving when his Dark Bring broke and probably could have still won if he kept fighting.

Galein Musica

An X-ty something year old smith who originally forged the legendary Ten Powers. When one of his swords was used to slaughter his family he gave up on sword-making and became a lapdog for Demon Card. He gets better once Haru reunites him with his Not Quite Dead grandson.

Voiced by: Yuichi Nagashima (JP), Ralph Votrian (EN)

---

• And This Is for...: Slaughtering my entire family.
• Cynicism Catalyst:
  • Losing his family to one of his own weapons made him give up on being a swordsmith.
  • If that wasn't bad enough, he actually served as their murderer for some time, at least until Haru came along.
• Passing the Torch: After Haru obtains the last Rave, he gives his grandson his smithing journal.
• Unobtainium: He used metal from a shooting star to make his extra special swords.
• You Killed My Father: Just replace father with children, their spouses, and my grandchildren.

Gale Glory

Haru's long missing father. He has the same strong sense of justice as Haru.

Voiced by: Toshiyuki Morikawa (JP), Steve Bulen (EN)

---

• Action Dad: Haru's father, and one of the warriors strong enough to deal with King, the leader of Demon Card and one of the strongest people in the world.
• Alliterative Name: Gale Glory. Without the middle name Symphonia.
• The Atoner: Just a little, though.
• Badass Normal: Doesn't have any powers or magic weapons, but even without that when he appears he's a much stronger fighter than his son.
• Boyfriend-Blocking Dad: Downplayed. He wasn't around to stop his daughter from dating a Jerkass, but takes some pride in Haru's story of chasing away some of Cattleya's suitors.
• Chekhov M.I.A.: Missing for 10 years because King made him a living bomb.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: Dealt one to Shuda prior to the series until Shuda realized he could never beat him.
• Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: He never returned home because King put a magical bomb inside his body.
• Disappeared Dad: Twofold with Haru: first, he left Garage Island to stop King and Demon Card, and later when he dies to save his son.
• Elemental Rivalry: Almost subverted then invoked: both he and King were born the same day and were aligned with Water, but after King's fall and the deaths of Emilia and Sakura they were changed to Light and Darkness.
• Happily Adopted: Knowing he would die soon, Gale's father Marakia left him with a man named Ever Mary who raised him well.
• Happily Married: The years he spent with his wife Sakura were the happiest of his life.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Gale uses his own body as a shield to protect Haru from the falling debris of the collapsing Tower of Din, dying in the process.
• My God, What Have I Done?: After he unintentionally gets King's family killed.
• My Greatest Failure: Causing King's Start of Darkness
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Revealed King's hideout to an old friend in the military in order to stop him. Unfortunately, the friend in question was highly ambitious and decided that a flashy arrest was the best way to get a promotion. This resulted in a blood bath where King's wife was killed (while King's son survived neither of them knew this). This in turn led to both King and Lucia becoming Omnicidal Maniacs
• Sacrificial Lion: Is established as a Master Swordsman and powerful ally only to die saving Haru from the collapsing Tower of Din.
• Red Herring: Initially implied to be a villain before his real nature is revealed.
• Scars Are Forever: He got a large scar across his face after being cut by King.
• Significant Name Overlap: Early on, Haru hears the leader of Demon Card is named Gale and this makes him think it could be his father. Turns out they're different people with the same given name.
• We Used to Be Friends: With King. And in the end he still considers King his friend.
• Why Am I Ticking?: King put a magical bomb inside his body.

General Jade

One of the four generals for The Empire who do virtually nothing other than act as Mr. Exposition. Jade stands out because he's the only one that doesn't get killed or turn out to be a mole. He never gets to meet Haru, but spends a good chunk of the story trying anyway. He's also Jegan's older brother.

Voiced by: Takehiro Murozono (JP)

---

• Facial Markings: The same as Jegan, only on his opposite eye.
• Long-Lost Relative: To Jegan.
• Mr. Exposition: His main contribution to the story, especially when he talks to the other generals about the three gangs formed after Demon Card's decline.
• Spell My Name With An S: Go through the official translation and count the different names and spelling he gets. He's actually called Sieg initially, and they change the spelling on the next page.

Sieg Hart

The first (and for a long while, only) sorcerer introduced. Sieg Hart is a magic swordsman obsessed with protecting time, which comes from being raised in a town with the same obsession. He's initially introduced as an assassin after both Elie and King, but after Haru stops Elie's Etherion without killing her Sieg has a change of heart and makes it his goal to protect Elie at all costs.

Voiced by: Masami Kikuchi (JP), Crispin Freeman (EN), Salvador Nájar (LA SP)

---

• Agony Beam: His usage of Thunder Magic on Elie, but also the nameless one deservingly used to put Igor Kilkira to his place.
• The Archmage: Milz declares him one after he manages to fight Haja for a week and win, but Sieg claims that Haja's master Shakuma is even stronger.
• Asshole Victim: Sieg Hart gets stabbed In the Back by Reina, right after he just got finished with sealing Haru inside of a horrible Mind Rape. Reina stabbing of Sieg had nothing to do with what he did to Haru, but the audience can't help but feel satisfied nonetheless.
• Breakout Character: So popular that his design was reused no less than three times in another series, once as a major character.
• Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: By the end of the series he's been everyone's enemy at some point. It's a little hard to notice because he's usually allied to multiple groups, but Shuda calls him out on it at one point.
• The Comically Serious: Who didn't laugh when he said "poyo" during Ruby's explanation of magic?
• Cool Sword: Has one made of raw magic. It is later revealed to be called "Take Over" and being able to drain the magic energy of the people it cuts, replenishing the user's own mana and allowing him to defeat the whole village of wizards he came from!
• Curtains Match the Window: A mysterious blue haired pretty boy, so popular it was used...thrice in Hiro Mashima's following series!
• Defeat Means Friendship: After being defeated in combat and having his fears of the Aetherion defuse, Sieg ultimately goes against his orders and becomes an ally.
• Dying Alone: He dies Trapped in the Past and in order to not alter history, he spends the rest of his life protecting Resha/Elie's grave until he becomes a skeleton.
• Elemental Powers: The only thing known about him for a while. He's even called "Elemental Master Sieg Hart".
  • Blow You Away: The first shown in the present, which allows him to fly and was used to defeat Haja.
  • Shock and Awe: The reason why Elie knows him at first as the "Lightning Man".
  • Playing with Fire: Was also shown casting a stream of flames at Haru.
  • Poisonous Person: The element of Poison, which he uses to try to kill Elie.
  • Space Master: The element of Space, which seems to be his specialty for the rest of the series.
• Facial Markings: Which, probably unbeknownst to him, detail his future.
• Heroic Sacrifice: He sends Haru and Elie back to the present, but he has to stay Trapped in the Past.
• Instant Runes: Which is supposed to be tricky.
• Normally, I Would Be Dead Now: He can be pretty active for a guy who just got his gut ripped open.
• Offscreen Moment of Awesome: He has a magic battle that lasts seven whole days. Only the first couple spells and the last strikes of the match are shown.
• One-Man Army: When Haja turns his village against him and he escapes. He takes on the whole village by himself. Even better, he did it without a single fatality using nothing but a sword and low magic power. To be fair, the sword absorbed the villagers' mana.
• Post-Victory Collapse: After his fight with Haja. In his defense, he went a whole week without food or water, since it's the most ridiculously long fight in the series.
• Redemption Equals Death: Death came late for him, though.
• The Stoic: Starts out as a single-minded "protector of time," whose sole purpose was to kill Elie.
• Tomato Surprise: Remember that skeleton in Symphonia? That was Sieg who was left Trapped in the Past.
• Trapped in the Past: He stays trapped 50 years in the past after sending Haru and Elie back to the present. He decides not do anything, not even eat, in order to not alter history in the slightest. (Not that he doesn't go and talk to someone immediately after, but at that point he realized he was supposed to, to make history play out the way it did.) Not to mention pulling off a Gondor Calls for Aid for 50 years down the road.
• Unreliable Expositor: Basically all the information he gives Elie about her identity turns out to be wrong.

Remi

A girl who claims to be descendant of Clea Maltese and the leader of Ray Barrier City. She is actually Solasido's sister. Both of them along with Fua one of the cities warriors assisted the Rave Warriors during the battle at the Tower of Din.

Solasido

Remi's brother.

Voiced by: Kenji Nojima (JP), Ping Wu (EN)

---

• Big Brother Instinct: Towards Remi, which allows him to reach her in the separate dimensions made by the Palace Guardians.
• Cross Attack: His weapon is a blade named Holy Cross. Just like its name indicates, it has the shape of an X, with a hole at the center for grabbing purposes. He wields and uses it like a propeller and can control it through telekinesis to spin it with ease as a boomerang for the use of defeating more than one opponent at a time.
• Mind over Matter: Can use telekinesis.
• My Sister Is Off-Limits: He nearly slices Musica's neck for this.

• Loincloth: Wears a fundoshi, which sadly counts as serious Fan Disservice.
• The Medic: When he gets serious he can make healing potions, including one that istantly heals broken bones and one that can turn werewolves back to human.

• Making a Splash: As a mermaid, Celia can manipulate water at will and use it for offense in battle.

• No Sense of Direction: She spent a year lost after her sister asked her to get a light shell for her in a nearby village.

Lazenby

A former member of the Imperial Guard of the Empire, after getting beaten easily by Shuda, Haru saves him and he becomes part of the group for the majority of the Blue Guardians Arc. He is a dramatic four armed parody of a superhero with the mistaken belief that the Rave Master is evil and he is doing good, he also has powers over white flames. He remains the same, except viewing Haru as a good guy now.

• Big Eater: To the point that he nearly eats Plue in his sleep (and eats Bonnye the starfish at least twice).
• Comically Missing the Point: He's not disturbed by the fact that Julius is having lunch while naked in the middle of the enemy base: he's disturbed by the fact that he's drinking white wine with red meat!

• Hopeless Suitor: Towards Elie.

• Quirky Mini Boss Squad: Like Let, was a member of the Imperial Guard/ a.k.a.

• Sole Survivor: The other three Imperial Guards weren't so lucky...
• Theme Naming: He and his squad are named after the surnames of James Bond actors.
• Wrong Genre Savvy: Thinks he's working for the good guys. He also thinks they can solve the Endless problem by using Star Memory to go into the past and prevent its creation, but Saga Pendragon reveals that this will only cause the creation of a different Endless.

Villains

Demon Card/Shadow Guard

Leaders

King (Gale) Raregroove

The leader of Demon Card at the beginning of the series. He used to be Gale Glory's best friend but something came between them. He now causes misfortune wherever he can in an attempt to draw his old friend out and make him suffer.

Voiced by: Tesshō Genda (JP), Peter Lurie (EN)

---

• Action Dad: He's the strongest of Demon Card and has a son, although he didn't know said son survived Slade's assault.
• Alas, Poor Villain: Despite all he did Haru and Gale can't help but feel bad for his death in light of his backstory.
• Anti-Villain: Type II. All he wanted was to have justice maintained no matter what, even when it meant using underhanded methods. Gale Glory was a Horrible Judge of Character in trusting the Empire to arrest him. Long story short, it resulted in a complex, but mutual hatred for one another.
• BFS: His Decalogue sword, the Evil Counterpart to the Ten Powers.
• Big Bad: The first of four, but was supposed to be the final one.
• Blow You Away: His sword has the same Mel Force form as Haru's. He gets the ability earlier, though since he had the sword longer.
• Cosmic Plaything: Not that he knows it. His entire lineage is made up of these.
• Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: Leaves his biological son to fend for himself at age six and gives his adopted son abandonment issues. In the first case, he didn't realize that Lucia had survived the attack on Demon Card, and was still mourning him a decade later. In Deep Snow's, he failed to properly explain that he was being sent away so he could lead a better life, not because he wasn't wanted.
• Dark and Troubled Past: Arguably the saddest in the series.
• Disc-One Final Boss: His son picks up the role Big Bad after his defeat. Consider that there are still two rave stones to collect when Haru confronts him.
• Dying as Yourself: All of his Dark Bring are destroyed in the fight, returning him to normal as he dies.He spends his last moments apologizing to Gale for his actions.
• Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Is utterly bewildered when Haru shows sympathy for his past despite the fact that King killed his mom.
• Evil Former Friend: To Gale.
• Evil Is Petty: The end goal of his plan to destroy the world and cause untold death and misery... revolves solely around causing Gale as much pain as possible. Haru is utterly disgusted by this.
• Fallen Hero: He really wanted the same justice as Gale, but since the latter left on his own, it resulted in some shady work, ending with a tragedy that tore the two apart.
• Freudian Excuse: You'd be mad too if someone like your best friend was responsible for the deaths of your wife and son.
• Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: All the same it doesn't justify destroying the world and countless innocent people in the process just to spite Gale. King himself acknowledges this in his final moments, noting the death of his family doesn't justify everything he did.
• Go Out with a Smile: After Redemption Equals Death.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: Decalogue is used against him with a vengeance when Haru gets the Third Rave Stone.
• It's All My Fault: In his last moments he admits that the deaths of his family were brought about by his own actions and Gale wasn't responsible.
• Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: One he started using the Dark Bring, he started down a dark path. The deaths of his wife and son just cemented his downfall.
• Like a Son to Me: He considers Deep Snow this, unbeknownst to the latter.
• Like Father, Like Son: The son is just a little cuter, and a little more successful at destroying the world.
• Morph Weapon: Decalogue, the Evil Counterpart of the Ten Commandments.
• My God, What Have I Done?: After returning to his old self in his final moments, he's horrified by his actions and apologizes to Gale and Haru for killing Sakura.
• Omnicidal Maniac: Tries to destroy the world by creating the ultimate Dark Bring.
• One-Winged Angel: By activating the Forbidden Dark Bring, Monster Prison he turns into a bestial version of himself.
• Perma-Stubble: Not quite a Beard of Evil, but close enough.
• Parental Substitute: To Deep Snow.
• Pet the Dog: Revealed after his death, he did love Deep Snow like a son and wanted to keep him away from his war.
• Rank Scales with Asskicking: Leads the Demon Card and is by far the strongest member at the start of the series. He easily defeats Gale without even using any of his Dark Bring, and is only beaten by Haru when blindsided after Plue uses the Rave of Combat to block an attack. After his death we hear he fought Doryu to a standstill, which is more to King's credit since Doryu had one of the pieces of the Sinclair Dark Bring.
• Redemption Equals Death: After reconciling with his old friend Gale, King grabs Gale's sword and stabs himself.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: His eyes turn red in his Monster Prison form.
• Revenge by Proxy: Gale told the Imperials where Demon Card's Headquarters is with the deal of taking King alive as prisoner to end his corrupt ways. To his horror, the Imperials killed all the people inside the Headquarters including King's wife and son (presumably). As revenge for it, King broke out of prison and killed Gale's wife, Sakura, in front of him.
• Sanity Slippage: What is frightening about Monster Prison, is that it makes the user become a mindless force of savagery.
• Significant Name Overlap: His true given name is Gale, the same as Haru's father and his former best friend, but changed it to King to differentiate between the two.
• Start of Darkness: The loss of his family.
• Sympathy for the Devil: Normally his killing of Sakura would've been a major Kick the Dog moment, but since it came right after he lost his wife and son, he comes off as far more tragic for doing so
• Villain's Dying Grace: Transfers the energy of the Dark Bring from Gale to destroy Demon Card's headquarters
• Walking Spoiler: Sharing a name with Haru's father deepens the mystery at the beginning of the story.
• We Used to Be Friends: With Gale Glory.
• Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?: His biological son is named Lucia. He named his adopted son Deep Snow because he was in a snowy mountain at the time.
• You Killed My Father: He killed Gale's wife, Sakura, Haru's mother. Subverted in that Haru as well as the audience was more interested in having Sympathy for the Devil.

Lucia Raregroove

King's son who went Axe-Crazy after having a hellish childhood. He took over Demon Card after his father's defeat. He's noted as being something of a slave driver who comes dangerously close to having a god complex, and for offing any subordinate who fails even the slightest bit.

• Alas, Poor Villain: Despite everything Lucia did, Haru couldn't help but feel sympathy for him, even trying to rescue him as he slowly disintegrates. With his last words entrusting Haru with the world.
• Ancestral Weapon: He wields his father's former sword, Decalogue.
• And Now You Must Marry Me: He tries to force Elie to be his bride so they can repopulate the original world.
• The Antichrist: He believes (and with some pretty sound reasoning) that the meaning of his life is to destroy the universe.
• Aristocrats Are Evil: Don't forget, he is technically a king. He doesn't forget.
• Ax-Crazy: See the drawings written in his cell when Sieg visited it after he had escaped, yeah he's a sane guy.
• Because Destiny Says So: Believes his purpose to destroy the world and defeat Haru is so, but he really wants to destroy the world because his life's so fucked up.
• Berserker Tears: During his last fight with Haru, his eyes tear up as he yells he's going to destroy the entire world and Haru with it.

• Big Bad: He takes over the position of the biggest main villain after King dies.
• Blow You Away: Not just people. He splits the earth with wind.
• Calling Your Attacks: Just like Haru, but with the word "dark" added before each sword form.
• Cosmic Plaything: One of the rules of the universe is literally that his bloodline has to suffer.
• Dark and Troubled Past: Spent virtually his entire childhood in a dark prison before it was destroyed after his father died.
• Doom Magnet: Sinclaire was attracted to his madness, making him more deranged.
• Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Despite all but boasting that his father's death didn't affect him, his mother's clearly did. He mentions her death as the first thing to go wrong in his life (while not even touching on his father) and named the final form of his sword after her.
• Evil Counterpart: Done as much as possible with Haru. Both are teenage boys born on July 7th, 0050, had fathers named Gale, grandfathers of royalty, carry swords with ten different forms, and have a crush on Elie. Their personality is what sets them apart; Haru is an All-Loving Hero while Lucia is an Omnicidal Maniac.
• Forceful Kiss: Steals Elie's first kiss.
• Forgot About His Powers: He has a piece of the Sinclair Dark Bring, and he almost never uses it.
• Freudian Excuse: His getting caught up in the first attack on Demon Card and being locked away in Mega Unit.
• Gender-Blender Name: Lucia is male despite having a feminine-sounding name.
• Generation Xerox: His fight with Haru is much like their father's reasons to fight each other.
• Go Mad from the Isolation: In general, locking a small child up in a maximum security prison and depriving them of contact with the rest of the world for ten years is bad for one's mental health.
• Go Out with a Smile: He goes to his death with peace while noting that Haru won't be able to stop Endless, in contrast to the turbulent hatred he had all of his life.
• Godhood Seeker: Wants to become a god.
• Good Scars, Evil Scars: Has a prominent scar on the right side of his cheek and is one of the most villainous characters in the story.
• Jerkass: Lucia is not nice, to say the least. He does what he wants and kills who he wishes and thinks nothing of others.
• Informed Flaw: Despite this being in his room, he never displays any extreme insanity or evil aside from his desire of normalcy involving returning the world to its destroyed state, being a typical Card-Carrying Villain and Jerkass At his worst.
• Instant Expert: Has less time with the Decalogue sword than his father did but by the time he faces Haru, he's learned to use nine of its ten forms.
• Late-Arrival Spoiler: One of the biggest plot twists regarding Lucia is that he isn't dead. The reader is even treated to his Start of Darkness several volumes before learning his character exists as more than a one off in somebody else's tragic backstory.
• Like Father, Like Son: Very much, except a little more paranoid and more of a Jerkass.
• Murder the Hypotenuse: One of the reasons he tries to kill Haru is so he can have Elie to himself.
• No Body Left Behind: His body slowly disintegrates after Haru defeats him.
• One-Man Army: After breaking out of prison he killed an entire army single handedly, and then traveled to meet Haru by coercing an infamous crime syndicate into letting him use their airship. This was before he got the Decalogue sword.
• Parental Abandonment: He lost his mother in an attack at age six, and because King didn't know he survived that attack, he was basically left to rot in Mega Unit while his father went off committing random acts of terrorism rather than trying to rescue him.
• Room Full of Crazy: Sieg discovers Lucia's room, which he finds with the walls covered with ominous messages and disturbing drawings.
• Sacred First Kiss: Does this to Elie in their first encounter in front of everyone, all he's missing is "Your first kiss wasn't Haru, it was I, Lucia!" and the sound effect that goes with it.
• Sins of Our Fathers: When he was six years old, Lucia was thrown in a maximum security prison as a precaution since his father was the leader of Demon Card. He also believes that his bloodline is cursed because of his ancestor's sin of creating an Alternate Timeline.
• Sleeps in the Nude: One scene from the manga shows him getting up from bed in his birthday suit.
• Start of Darkness: The loss of his family and being locked up for ten years for no reason other than being King's son.
• Suicidal Cosmic Temper Tantrum: He's convinced that his bloodline is cursed because he's descended from the woman who turned back time and created a new timeline where humanity didn't go extinct. In the end, all he wanted was to destroy the world that he believed to have cursed him and go to the original world where he could start over.
• Then Let Me Be Evil: Coming from a family with a history of villainy, the Empire decided to get it over with and preemptively arrest Lucia. When he was six. That he went to prison because he was expected to become a villain is, ultimately, his motive for becoming a villain.
• Unholy Nuke: Seemingly one of the powers of his Mother Dark Bring, which he calls "Distortion", is to create a vortex of destruction that annihilates anything inside. Does nothing to a Sacrifar-empowered Haru.
• Used to Be a Sweet Kid: The first flashback of him as a kid even has him hiding from a stranger behind his mom. Then an ambitious position seeker shoots down his entire family and he is then locked up in a cell for a decade, leading to his insanity and hatred of the world to fester.
• Villainous Breakdown: Has a minor one when fighting Haru for a second one as the latter proved stronger then he was and tried to feel sorry for him, making this also a case of Don't You Dare Pity Me!.
  • Then their last fight has him basically blurting out the reasons for wanting the world to die with tears in his eyes.
• Villainous Crush: He has a dangerous infatuation with Elie, The Hero's love interest.
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: He was thrown into jail for ten years just for being King's son, however, Lucia in the present, is far less sympathetic.

Oracion Seis

Reina

The second Demon Card general introduced. A silver claimer like Musica. She tries to play up her looks and likes to flirt, though she isn't really interested in most men.

• Curtains Match the Window: Green hair and eyes.
• Dark Action Girl: She was the strongest female fighter in Demon Card and her Silver manipulation combined with her Dark Bring, made her a deadly force to reckon with.

• Dating Catwoman: With Musica, the two had several romantic hints, while fighting each other on opposite sides. However, by the time she does consider changing sides she has to sacrifice herself in order to stop the Silver Ray from causing a potentially catastrophic explosion.
• Dead Person Conversation: She talks to Musica in a Near-Death Experience and is clearly willing to wait for the proper time for Together in Death to come, as she encourages him to live on.
• Defecting for Love: Initially for the redemption of her father's name, but she eventually falls for Musica.
• Extra-ore-dinary: She has the same power as Musica. Her Dark Bring lets her create silver out of thin air, giving her a huge advantage.

• Heroic Sacrifice: Switches the Silver Ray's explosion into her being in order to save everyone.

• Redemption Equals Death: She ultimately performs a Heroic Sacrifice to stop Silver Ray from exploding.
• Sexy Slit Dress: She initially wears a red dress with a thigh-high slit that reveals her left leg.
• Star-Crossed Lovers: With Musica. The Silver Ray was about to explode and one person needed to stay behind in order to have the explosion lessened so that no other lives would be sacrificed in the crossfire. Made all the more tragic as the two had finally managed to develop romantic feelings for each other just before this. The spear that Musica wields from that moment onwards in a constant reminder of that failure and that she'd always be with him.
• Sultry Bangs: Reina combs her hair to the side, leaving one of her eyes sexily covered at all times.
• You Killed My Father: Ogre framed her father for the theft of a warship called the Silver Ray, which lead to him being executed. Before she learned the truth, she was under the impression that Musica's mentor Rize did it.

• Because You Were Nice to Me: He became obsessed with Julia because she was the only one who approached him in his loneliness.
• BFS: His weapon of choice outside of Dark Bring is a massive black sword which he usually carries with one hand. Reina even commented on this.

• Childhood Friend Romance: He was in love with Julia since childhood, but she always chose Let over him.
• Crazy Jealous Guy: He never stopped hating Let's guts for being the man Julia chose to love.
• Dragon Rider: Which is actually the girl he had a disturbing crush on.

• Facial Markings: For some reason it has no power to alter fate like the others with this mark.
• Green Thumb: His Dark Bring, which can even turn people into trees.

• Yandere: He has an insane crush on Juila, even keeping her as a pet after she turned into a dragon.

Beryl

The fourth Demon Card general. A Sentinoid who works for Demon Card presumably out of boredom. He's impressed by Lucia's ruthlessness and manages to convince the Demon Lords to bow to him.

Voiced by: Souichirou Tanaka (JP), Kirk Thornton (EN)

---

• Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Has a rather cocky demeanor most of the time, though he shows fear when confronted by a stern Haja or by Megido.
• Blood Knight: He destroyed a giant city known for its steel walls just to kill some time. He also express boredom when Haru is unable to hurt him, and he's the first of his group to accept Lucia once he hears his plans of war and destruction.
• Early-Bird Cameo: He shows up once before the battle with King after having destoryed a town out of boredom, but has no role at all until after Lucia is freed.
• Horned Humanoid: They make him look even more demon-like. During the coronation ceremony he wears a hood that conceal most of them.
• Dishing Out Dirt: His Dark Bring, "The Earth". He mostly uses it to attack people with fists of stone and shift the soil under their very feet.
• Informed Ability: He's supposed to be the strongest general, but all the others gave the heroes a much harder time. He does, however, utterly curbstomps Haru in their first combat and, objectively, he only fought them on two occasions, the second of which was much, much later in the story, when our heroes have grown stronger.
• Meaningful Name: Mashima took his name from the Ars Goetia's Berial.
• No-Sell: The first time he fights the heroes he's able to catch TMC with his canines and tank Blue Crinsom's attack with no effort at all.
• Now That's Using Your Teeth!: Blocks Explosion. With his canines. Yes, he took an explosion in the mouth with no collateral damage.
• Our Demons Are Different: It's not made clear if he and the Demon Lords are a different race than the demonoids
• Pest Controller: The last time he shows up, he's commanding a huge army of demonic insects.
• Red Baron: "Beryl the Demon Lord", according to his bio.
• Shaping Your Attacks: He mostly turns the earth into stony fists to punch people to death.
• Single-Stroke Battle: Raids a hidden area the heroes are in with a army of bugs. He has the upper hand till Haru comes out... and takes Beryl out with one blow just like the trash he is.
• Spell My Name With An S: The English manga uses "Berial".
• Villain Forgot to Level Grind: This might be the reason why he was defeated so easily by Haru the second time they meet.

Haja

The fifth Demon Card general, who acts as temporary leader in the lull between King and Lucia's rule. He's also Demon Card's primary sorcerer. He's eventually revealed to be from the same origins as Sieg with the same mission, but isn't quite as willing to convert to the light.

Voiced by: Hitoshi Bifu (JP), Richard Epcar (EN)

---

• Beat Them at Their Own Game: His answer to Sieg's Grand Chariot is to whip out in quick succession the even more broken Space Elemental spells Phenomena and Argonautica.
• Big Bad Wannabe: Attempts to wipe out every threat to himself in order to rule supreme, yet he is defeated through a stab by a wooden staff.
• Dragon with an Agenda: While he is viewed to be the righthand man of King, in reality, he is working with a secret magic society in order to preserve the natural order by taking him and his son down. Hell, even that's not completely true, it really turns out he's trying to wipe both the Demon Card and the magic society he was born in, all so he can rule the universe with his infinite magic.
• Cool Helmet: Twice, first the one in the image, and the second is even cooler after some serious Art Evolution
• Even Evil Has Standards: True, he's a ruthless Well-Intentioned Extremist, but even he was so disgusted by Igor Kilkira's plans, to the point that he sealed him inside his own body.
• Evil Old Folks: The oldest of the Oracion Seis and Demon Card, before the introduction of his master Shakuma. He's able to fight evenly with Sieg after he becomes strong enough for a week straight without tiring.
• Evil Sorcerer: He's one of the most powerful wizards of this setting, and also a bad guy.
• Godhood Seeker: It turns out he's not a Well-Intentioned Extremist like the other wizards, and actually wants to be a Physical God.
• Large and in Charge: He is the biggest of the Oracion Seis and the strongest and official commander of the group.
• Gratuitous Japanese: In his first attire there's a japanese writing on his collar which reads "Gogasha" and refers to an incredibly high number that nears the infinite, referring to his ridicolously high mana pool.
• Irony: He was killed by a physical attack despite having on his person the only Dark Bring which could have made him impervious to such attacks.
• The Man Behind the Curtain: Haja has one literally infused in his head in order supply his supposedly infinite powers.
• Manipulative Bastard: He tricks Sieg's hometown into betraying and capturing him so he can be used as a sacrifice to acquire powerful magic.
• Red Baron: "Haja No Limit", due to his endless supply of magic power.
• The Starscream: As it turns out, he wants to destroy both Demon Card and the heroes to rule the world. Furthermore, Igor Kilkira is one as well, that's why he sealed him into his body.
• Squishy Wizard: Quite literally, he's a very powerful magician but has relied on magic for so long that he's defeated when Seig Hart stabbed him with a stick after plowing through his most powerful technique. Seig even chides him on the irony of being felled by something so simple.
• Taking You with Me: Tries to pull this on Sieg after being mortally wounded with a wooden staff.
• Two-Faced: His helm conceal a reversed nose and grinning mouth on his forehead, which gives him a second, more sinister face if looked upside down. Said second face is Igor Kilkira, the scientist who gave him his Dark Bring, sealed inside his own head to prevent him to act against Demon Card.
• Unholy Nuke: His ultimate magic, the forbidden spell that consumes life, called appropriately "Omega Life".
• We Can Rule Together: It is implied that he wanted Shakuma, his master to rule alongside him or at least serve him. Too bad he never lived to find out to learn that his master is even more inhumane then he'll ever be and he wants the universe to be destroyed because it's unnatural.
• You Have Failed Me: Haja has Jegan offed for this.

Julius

The sixth, and vain, Demon Card general. Julius has serious moments once in a blue moon, and usually only because the enemy dared to strike him in the face. In spite of his goofy attitude, he's a powerful fighter, and the other generals tolerate his behavior. He seems to be the only general who acknowledges Shuda as an equal.

• Affably Evil: Easily one of the nicer people in Demon Card unless you hurt his face, in which case he gets mad only to return to his usual narcissistic nature.
• The Beautiful Elite: His face is Serious Business.
• Berserk Button: Hitting his face makes him go berserk.
• Butt-Monkey: During the encounter between the heroes and the Oracion Seis in Symphonia he was kicked in the nads by Elie and thrown around like a ragdoll by Haru and Sieg.
• Cloud Cuckoo Lander: He's one of the seven evil generals that the cast fights throughout the series, but he's more often concerned with all that is beautiful (especially himself) and can act pretty stupid for as much credit as King gives him.
• Cool Sword: The form of his Dark Bring.
• Crouching Moron Hidden Bad Ass: On the rare occasions where he's serious.
• Defeat Means Friendship: Defeat in a dance contest, mind you.
• The Fighting Narcissist: To the point that he's more pissed for being shot in the face rather than for being kicked in the groin. He's so narcissist that his dancing partner is actually a human-sized doll he calls Française.
• Groin Attack: He dodges most of Elie's attacks, but falls victim to one that cripples him. Too bad for Elie, he goes from paralized to berserk when she shoots his face next.
• Heel–Face Turn: Due to Elie being a better dancer.
• An Ice Person: His Dark Bring's power, Ama d'Etoile. He can also "freeze" people in place without actually covering them in ice.
• Ignored Enemy: He considers Sieg his "beautyful rival". The feeling isn't reciprocate.
• Irony: He's named after the foreign for "July", a summer month: he's an ice user.
• Minor Injury Overreaction: To any damage to his face.
• Naked People Are Funny: Starting with the Blue Gaurdians arc, he's an exhibitionist.
• Red Baron: Known in his bio as "Iulius the Magical Ice Knight".
• Spell My Name With An S: The manga calls him Iulius. Everyone else swears it's Julius.
• The Worf Effect: When he fights Renard in the Blue Guardians arc he gets his own ass handed to him on a plate.

Deep Snow

One of the four generals for The Empire, who defects to Demon Card after Lucia takes over. He's later revealed to be King's adopted son, who was sent away to be "saved from the path of darkness". He has no attatchment to Lucia, but serves Demon Card in order to try to satisfy King.

• Adaptation Dye-Job: His hair is light brown in the anime.
• Anti-Villain: He only wants to do his father proud.
• Body Horror: He's able to bend literally anything that moves in any manner he chooses, including people! He also has a second Dark Bring embedded in his chest.
• Dangerous Forbidden Technique: His forbidden Dark Bring is able to awaken the hidden power of humans, enough to beat the crap of Shuda.
• Improbable Age: Explained away by him aging 2.5 times faster than a normal person, but he was a baby when Emilia and Sakura died. In other words, he's only been alive about ten years during the events of the story. And even if you count him as 25, he's still a 25 year old who was one of the Empire's top generals, despite having no connections to propel him to that point and, at most, eight years to climb the social ladder. (Or three, if you don't want to count the time it would take him to reach a reasonable age to enlist.)
• Making a Splash: Able to bend water, though his Dark Bring Zero Stream works on everything that has a stream, including wind and blood.
• Meaningful Name: Kind of. It was snowing heavily when King named him.
• The Mole: As the General of the North in the Empire. He later takes advantage of his former position to killing the remaining two generals and recruiting the former Imperial Guard (Lazenby's group).
• Morality Pet: Turns to have been one for King.
• Not So Stoic: When he uses his Forbidden Dark Bring.
• Person of Mass Destruction: When he was a toddler attacked by wolves, he friggin' wiped them out, leaving only a crater behind, all done unconsciously.
• Replacement Goldfish: To King, who didn't know Lucia was alive.
• Sixth Ranger: Takes Shuda's place among the six, only to be beaten by him seven volumes later.
• The Stoic: Most of the time. He loses it upon releasing his second Dark Bring.
• "Well Done, Son" Guy: Somehow King forgot to tell Deep Snow he did see him as a son.

Palace Guardians

In General

Five warriors from other dimensions are brought together by one of King's Dark Brings, the Gate. The guard the Tower of Din as well as being non-humans of unparalleled strength. One, Let, later does a Heel–Face Turn and becomes one of the good guys.

---

• All There in the Manual: Most of their backgrounds are revealed in the back pages of the book.
• Informed Ability: These five are said to have powers greater than a 1000 demonoids, yet they go down much quicker than most of the later Quirky Mini Boss Squad of the series.
• Non-Standard Character Design: These five are much more detailed in design, especially compared to the later guardians of the major antagonists who would later appear in the story; especially L'Tiangle, who is noted to be the hardest character to draw in the whole series.
• Our Demons Are Different: Like Berial's case, it's not made clear if they are of a separate race from the Demon Lords' race; but it's clear that each of the members come from different types of Demonoid, with Ron and L'Tiangle being Animated Armor, Rionette being a tall blue creature with a long neck, skinny arms, and a tail coming out of its back and Racas being a yellow, segmented pointy eared humanoid.
• Quirky Mini Boss Squad: The most notable of the series, with Racas and Rionette being the oddest of the group.
• Theme Naming: Adding "Ma" in front of their names gets you Maltiangle (multi-angle), Marionette, Maracas, and Maron glace (marron glace, a dessert). Also, Let (mallet).
• We Hardly Knew Ye: With the notable exception of Let, the rest of the guardians are taken out before we learned anything major about them.

• Invisibility: His Dark Bring, "Transparent", allows him to turn objects as well as himself invisible.
• Villainous Breakdown: Once Musica gets a hold of him, he immediately panics as he did not expect that he'd make a counterattack.

Rionette

The most sadistic of the guardians.

• Achilles' Heel: Rionette is cold and professional, but has a glaring weakness: he's attracted by "weird beings", which allows Griff to distract him.
• Casting a Shadow: He uses his Dark Bring, "Shadow Doll", can turn into a shadow to avoid attacks and use Shadow Pin to block his enemies.
• Glass Cannon: Rionette is quite powerful and dangerous to deal with, but once his powers are removed Elie can make short work of him.
• Informed Ability: He's described as the most cruel of the five, when all we saw as coldness and strange liking to weird things.
• Rhymes on a Dime: He has penchant for speaking in rhyme.
• Verbal Tic: He ends his sentences with "-aru".

And unlike other villains, he doesn't have the Dark Bring to brainwash his way of thinking, let alone the humanizing reason to justify any of his actions.

• Curb-Stomp Battle: His fight with Haru starts off with him handing out the most one-sided fight in the series as Haru fails to even touch him thanks to his Gravity Master power.
• Dark and Troubled Past: Not as bad as King's but a dark showing on Fantastic Racism.
• Dark Is Evil: His affinity and power, subverted as well; the reason why the humans abandoned and mistreated him was because non-humans were viewed to be abominations of darkness, which ultimately encouraged him to embrace Sinclaire.
• Don't You Dare Pity Me!: A little creepy when he says it. Doubles as his Villainous Breakdown as it becomes a Madness Mantra.
• Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Giving him a Vampire-like look.
• Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: Discussed in the fight against him, when Ruby protects his friends from one of his Dark spells by changing their attribute to Dark for a while.

• Freudian Excuse: Humans Are the Real Monsters, that is all.
• Go Mad from the Isolation: Since the humans imprisoned in the dark.
• Gravity Master: His Shadow Sinclair Stone. He uses it for either imprisoning people in the darkness, one piece at the time, or in tandem with his swordsmanship, repealing incoming attacks and attracting the opponent to his own attacks.
• Humans Are the Real Monsters: Considering what happened, you can't blame him for thinking this.
• Interim Villain: The villain between King's downfall and Lucia's rise to power.

• Start of Darkness: The village he worked so hard to create turning on him and locking him up.

• Then Let Me Be Evil: Despite being a demon lord, Doryu came to the human world hoping to create a place where all species could live in harmony. When Fantastic Racism became too severe and he was locked away by the people he sought to help, he lost it.
• Tragic Villain: He had gone to the Human World in order to lessen the Fantastic Racism between humans and non-humans by building a community that would bridge the gap between them. Unfortunately, these attempts backfired horribly due to the humans clinging to their "light" as a means of superiority and it led to him regretting his actions and becoming a cold-hearted villain.
• Villainous Breakdown: When Haru deflects his ultimate attack he finally looses what little remains of his composure, briefly going into a Madness Mantra before going into his One-Winged Angel and becoming far less stoic than before.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: He seemingly Dies Wide Open after being struck down by Million Suns, but Mashima mentions that he wanted to show him joining the others in the Gondor Calls for Aid moment, implying that he actually survived and redeemed.
• Wide-Eyed Idealist: When he was younger, he tried to forge peace between humans and non-humans. He failed because of the humans' Fantastic Racism.

One of the main criminal gangs appeared after the decline of Demon Card, is composed by Oni and lead by Ogre. It's notable members include Kawara, Yanma, Gocco and Gob. They're trying to build the devastating Mermaid Cannon and kidnapping mermaids and mermen to power the machine.

---

• Butt-Monkey: They are the weakest of the three main villainous groups sans Demon Card.
• Our Demons Are Different: The Oni species seems more technologically advanced than the previously seen Demonoids and can move and breathe freely underwater.

Ogre

The leader of the Oni, who teamed up with Doryu to overthrow two other names in the underworld. He's the most heartless of the main villains, and also the most lecherous. He's completely obsessed with power, and doesn't care who he tramples over to get it.

Voiced by: Dai Matsumoto (video game)

---

• Amazing Technicolor Population: He has red skin.
• Arc Villain: While Lucia was gathering all the forces of evil, Ogre acts as the villain for a major arc, alongside Doryu.
• Ax-Crazy: The only people that make him look sane are Omnicidal Maniacs like Hardner and Shakuma Raregroove.
• Bad Boss: Despite Gocco's belief that he would never use the Mermaid Cannon on his own soldiers, he's perfectly willing to do that just to kill the Rave Master.
• Big Bad Ensemble: With Doryu and Lucia being the Greater-Scope Villain.
• The Brute: He is easily the least intelligent of the major villains of the series, yet somehow was smart enough to frame Reina's father for his kidnapping and utilize the Silver Ray.
• Dumb Muscle: Doryu is obviously a better strategist and has a more thought-out plan than the Oni captain will ever will.
• Extra-ore-dinary: A gold claimer to Musica and Reina's silver claimers.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: If his plans fail, he will act in extreme anger and lash out at anyone who's the closest.
• Hate Sink: Out of the major villains of each arc, Ogre's easily the worst, even without his Dark Bring. He caused several horrible actions such as having framed Reina's father for a crime he didn't commit, leading to Reina's turn to evil and inadvertently causing her vendetta against Musica's teacher and by proxy Musica in addition to enslaving mermaids to empower an energy cannon to wipe out his enemies by draining their life force. He also is extremely obnoxious, perverted, short-sighted and entitled, lacking any of the tragic backstory of the others to justify any of his actions
• Horned Humanoid: Goes hand to hand to being a Oni.
• I Have You Now, My Pretty: Poor Elie. He also tries this on Reina before Musica saves her.
• Informed Ability: Somehow managed to steal the Silver Ray to perfectly frame Reina's father and use it as a weapon despite being easily the dumbest of the Big Bad Ensemble by far.
• Intangibility: His Dark Brings allows attacks to pass through him while he strike back at them with his Gold Claimer powers and physical might with ease.
• Large and in Charge: To the Oni, he's easily the largest of the members and he backs it it up with his Intangibility Dark Bring and Gold Claimer powers.
• The Law of Diminishing Defensive Effort: Because his Dark Bring makes physical attacks phase through him, but not energy or spiritual attacks, like Silver Bond.
• Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Use his powers to form a massive, ornated shield.
• Lust: His main goal is too have all the pretty girls in the world.
• Mighty Glacier: Due to his Dark Bring he doesn't need to dodge. Comes back to bite him at the height of his battle against Musica and Renia when they use Silver Bond on him. He thinks it'll pass through him like every other attack. It doesn't◊.
• No Body Left Behind: Completely vaporized by Musica and Reina's final attack.
• No-Sell: Being a Gold Claimer he can neutralize Musica and Reina's silver and his Sinclair, Last Physique, nullifies all physical damage done to him. It is bypassed by magical attacks, or simply by the fact that he can still suffocate, as Reina obstruct his mouth with her silver.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red to Doryu's Blue, being brash, arrogant, brutal and straightforward, but much dumber. Bonus point for being a literal Red Oni.
• Smart Ball: He does show some acumen, if minimal, when he hears that Reina is Rize's daughter and puts two and two together about the password for Silver Ray, showing that he can be cunning now and then.
• Stupid Evil: Kidnaps the Elie with the intent of possibly raping her and using her as a weapon earning Haru's Berserk Button, prone to Evil Gloating, severly looks down on his enemies and lives very hedonistically.
• Villain Team-Up: With Doryu in order to fight off Demon Card, unfortunately they disbanded after when Haru proved their ultimate weapon useless.
• Warrior Prince: Offhandely mention that he was born in the Royal family of the Oni clan, which should make him this.
• White Hair, Black Heart: And how. He's one of the rudest and less sympathetic villains in the story.
• Would Hit a Girl: Unsurprisingly, he was going to beat Elie to a pulp after she caused the Mermaid Cannon to miss and short circuits, and orders Doryu to take her away otherwise he may butcher her in rage.

Gob

Ogre's right hand Onigami ally and the chief of maintenance and technology. He uses the Sky High dark bring which grants him telekinetic control to any surrounding weapons.

---

• Cute Monster Boy: Gob is much fairer than his fellow Oni, as gleefully noted by Reina's follower Range.
• Mind over Matter: Gob's Dark Bring, "Sky High", allows him to remotely control and float items in battle.
• Not So Harmless: Gob looks weak and unimpressive compared to the other three members, but he's not to be underestimated.
• The Smart Guy: Gob is the smarter of the gang and responsible for the Mermaid Cannon.

Yanma

The Onigami Chief Engineer who uses the all-seeing Double Vista dark bring which are in the form of glasses and can see through anything.

---

• Animal Motifs: Subtle, but Yanma is themed after the Dragonfly: he has ornaments on the back of his coat resembling dragonfly wings, has dragonfly-shaped earrings and his power comes from a pair of glasses (in Japan the dragonfly eyes are compared to large glasses). His name can even mean "Dragonfly".
• Boisterous Weakling: Yanma talks loudly, looks strong and intimidating but is pretty weak, resorting to his Dark Bring and a gun to fight and losing swiftly to Elie in short order.
• Didn't Think This Through: While holding Elie gunpoint, Yanma informs Ogre of her and tells her how they're going to use her powers for the Mermaid Cannon. Elie retorts by pointing out that if she's so important to them he cannot afford to harm her and proceeds to curb-stomp him.
• Jerkass: Yanma is loud and obnoxious, and also sadistically torture the mermaids by telling them that they have burned alive the males, only to reveal that he was joking.
• Power Perversion Potential: Yanma's Dark Bring, Double Vista, allows him to see through anything. That includes seeing women naked and reading minds.

Gocco

The Onigami Gunnery Chief who has the "Through the Wall" dark bring which allows him to transport through walls.

---

• Not So Stoic: Gocco loses his stoic façade when Yanma insinuated that Ogre may punish them all by shooting the cannon at them.

Kawara

The leader over the Onigami Raiding Party who uses the Stone Roses dark bring which turns anything it touches into stone. Initially they had Unicorn Watanabe a cook who is the same species as Griffon Kato, but he joined forces with the Rave Warriors.

---

• Carry a Big Stick: Kawara's weapon is an iron bar, which he uses against his half-petrified opponents.
• The Dragon: Kawara is the strongest of the group and comes pretty close to killing Haru. Gob also provides the brains to Ogre when it comes to machinery.
• Meaningful Name: Kawara is named after the Onigawara, a Oni-faced tile used as a Gargoyle, while Gob's name comes from Goblin.
• Oh, Crap!: Kawara has an epic one when he meets Haru's Death Glare right before being defeated, while Gocco is shocked when Let manages to smash the wall he's hiding in during their combat.
• Right-Hand Attack Dog: Kawara rides a huge horned fish in battle.
• Taken for Granite: Kawara's Dark Bring, Stone Roses, slowly petrifies the enemy he touches.

Blue Guardians

Hardner

The leader of a criminal organization known as "Blue Guardians". After the loss of his wife and unborn child he found an Artifact of Doom that convinced him to forget his misery by making everything simply disappear and merge with Elie to do so.

---

• Arc Villain: While Lucia is recuperating, Hardner takes over the role of the main billain of the Blue Guardians arc.
• Ax-Crazy: His Dark Bring has obviously taken a toll on his sanity after losing his wife and unborn child who was actually Nagisa unbeknownst to him who was raised by his former friend Yuma. His goal is basically destroying everything in order to obtain everything.
• Arm Cannon: Had a gun on one hand till he restored it.
• Bad Powers, Bad People: He can bring back every injury his target ever suffered in their life.
• Cool Sword: One with a skull marking, it doesn't have a point since its power is slicing and not cutting.
• Early Installment Character-Design Difference: Twofold: when he first appeared he was seemingly a towering behemoth of a man, looming over even Meghido and Beryl, but when he appears in person he's taller than normal, but not enormous. Also, his Sinclair Anastasis first appeared as an egg-shaped pendant whose upper part was encased in a silvery net, but later appears as a more mundane circular brooch holding his cape closed.
• Evil Plan: His greed is so much that he wants to destroy all existence to obtain it all at once.
• Fantastic Racism: On top of being a sociopathic, god complex genocidal maniac, he views non humans as inferiors.
• Four Eyes, Zero Soul: He's a cruel and sadistic villain wearing glasses.
• Freudian Excuse: His pregnant wife's death leading him to become an Omnicidal Maniac.
• Fusion Dance: Wants to with Elie (though more specifically with Endless), he doesn't succeed.
• Good Powers, Bad People: His Dark Bring can restore things like limbs, dead things and broken buildings. He's also a Sadistic racist with a god complex.
• Green Thumb: His Shadow Stone allow plant life to regenerate, but not the same type as Jegan.
• Healing Factor: His main power, doubles as time control. Though Haru eventually figures out that his regeneration time grows longer the more he uses it.
• Hypocrite: For all of his racism on non-humans, all of his minions have an Animal Motif for a theme.
• Insane Troll Logic: Apparently destroying all existence counts as becoming the richest being in existence.
• Jerkass: Every word he says is just demeaning.
• Large and in Charge: In his initial appearance, he's easily the biggest villain, but when he really appears, he's taller than Haru and Let, but no where near the height of his introduction.
• Luke, I Am Your Father: Nagisa is revealed to be Hardner's daughter.
• Make Way for the New Villains: Lucia returns to his villainous status by stabbing Hardner right after he sees the error of his ways.
• My God, What Have I Done?: When Yuma reveals Nagisa is Hardner's biological daughter, Hardner has a breakdown as he realizes he ordered his minions to torture his own daughter.
• Odd Name Out: According to Mashima, he wanted to name Hardner after an animal in French, like the rest of the Blue Guardians, but he forgot about it.
• Omnicidal Maniac: His final objective is the genocide of the people of the Demon World.
• Politically Incorrect Villain: He's racist against non humans for no reason than human superiority, which is shared by all of his organization, even the Ambiguously Human ones.
• Red Baron: Hardner "The Executioner", due to his massive sword being an Executioner Sword.
• Sadist: He enjoys inflicting Cold-Blooded Torture or ordering his minions to do it for it.
• Smug Super: While Ogre was very cocky, everything he does as a villain is filled with bold confidence in his superiority.
• Start of Darkness: The death of his beloved wife and presumed unborn child set him into the path of villainy.
• Suicidal Cosmic Temper Tantrum: He tries to summon the Endless to wipe out his own painful memories of his wife's death, even if it means bring the end of the world.
• Time Master: He can use this to make people experience their old injuries and erase his own injuries. As well as building and plant life.
• Villainous Breakdown: Threefold. One during his final fight with Haru when he realizes his Dark Bring power is failing him as it can only heal him so much and be used in his attacks. The second when he sees Endless being pushed back by Elie and Belnika, denying him his wish to destroy everything because of his painful past memories. And finally, after he's defeated it's revealed that Nagisa, the girl he tortured just for fun, was in fact his daughter who he thought died in the plane crash that killed his pregnant wife.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: As seen above with Doryu, Hardner's fate is ambiguous, but the fact that Mashima wanted to show him joining the others in the Gondor Calls for Aid moment implies that he survived and was redeemed.

Renard

A dark-skinned female member of the Blue Guardians.

---

• Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: She wears a bikini upper part and is one of the only two major female members of the Blue Guardians.
• Dark Action Girl: She defeated a former Oracion Seis without sustaining any visible injury.
• The Dragon: The implied second in command of the Blue Guardians.
• Irony: Her Dark Bring, a manifestation of darkness, allows her to turn into light, the opposing element.
• Stripperiffic: She fights in a revealing outfit that exposes her cleavage, midriff, and legs.
• Super-Speed: Renard's Dark Bring allows her to move at light speed and cover long distances in seconds.
• Token Good Teammate: While loyal to Hardner, she is the only member of the Blue Guardians that has never shown any explicit negative traits such as sadism, discriminatory behavior, or being unpleasant overall.
• Undying Loyalty: She's exceptionally loyal to Hardner.

The Six Guards

In General

A group within the Blue Guardians with members specifically chosen to oppose the Oracion Seis. Their names and appearances are animal-themed.

---

• Animal-Motif Team:
  • Sharks for Requin (shark-like collar, sea-themed weapon, very dangerous)
  • Leopards/Cats for Leopard (very cat-like behaviour and mouth, has spot-like tattoos)
  • Giraffe for Giraffe (long-necked, his pants have spots resembling those of a giraffe)
  • Hare for Lievre (dons a hare-costume and is surprisingly nimble)
  • Koala for Koala (lazy and with a koala-like face)
  • Tanuki/Raccoon Dog for Chien Vivirrien (Leaf on his head, fat and wears a small drum on his shoulder. The motif on his shirt recalls the Tanuki's oversized testicles)
• Animal Theme Naming: They all have French names of animals.
• Elite Mooks: They're the elite members of the Blue Guardians along with Hardner's second in command, Renard.
• Oh, Crap!: Usually when they realize that their opponent is about to turn the tables on them and win the battle.
• Politically Incorrect Villain: As a whole they are also incredibly and disgustingly racist, considering none of them see any problem with the immense collateral damage the The Mystic Realm will suffer in their plan to kill Endless in it. As they see it, since no inhabitant of the Mystic Realm is human the thousand upon thousand collateral lives this plan will cost is perfectly acceptable.

Requin

The leader of the Six Guard has short, dark hair with a symbol tattooed onto his head has some alligator-looking animal skin over his head and a long cape. His Dark Bring allows him to change into acid and burn enemies who come into contact with him, granting him virtual immunity to physical attacks.

---

• Acid Pool: Requin's powers make him a mobile, living Acid Pool.
• Anchors Away: Requin wields a scythe shaped like an anchor for armed combat.
• Facepalm Of Doom: Requin almost kills Julia by crushing her head.
• Family-Unfriendly Death: Requin is tricked by Julia to turn his body in acid while they're falling from the airship and has his Dark Bring stolen. Unable to turn back into solid form, he's dispersed and scattered.
• Magic Pants: Invoked, Requin's pants and shoes are made on measure, so he doesn't melt them with his Hollywood Acid.
• No-Nonsense Nemesis: Requin is deadly serious and far more threatening than his colleagues.
• Walking Shirtless Scene: Requin when in combat, though his fanged cape doesn't cover much.

Leopard

A woman with a slight resemblance to a leopard. Her Dark Bring allows her to wear anything as an armor, including wind which grants her increased speed and agility, bullets, Julia's fire breath, electricity, and metal (which she considers her strongest form and only uses on people she hates).

---

• Animal Eyes: Her eyes are slitted like a feline's.
• Berserk Button: Leopard cannot stand bugs and is irritated when Elie calls her one. She also goes all out when Nagisa and Elie points out that her Electrical Dress gave her two antennae-like hairstrands and made her even more buglike.
• Cat Girl: Leopard is very cat-like in behaviour, as seen when she purrs when Giraffe pats her.
• Collared by Fashion: She wears a spiked collar on her neck.
• Dark Action Girl: She's very skilled in combat, giving a hard time to Haru, Let and Musica and even defeating Julia.
• Elemental Armor: Her Dress Up ability allows her to wear anything that has been thrown at her, including electricity and fire. It also allows her to wear wind to become faster. Her most powerful "dress" is when she uses metal as armor.
• Girlish Pigtails: She ties her hair up in pigtails, to emphasize her role as the only girl in her team.
• Lightning Bruiser: Leopard in incredibly fast and hits hard upon covering herself with wind. Literally with Renard, who can move and attack like a laser beam with her Dark Bring.
• Navel Window: She wears a bodice with a gap around her navel.
• No-Sell: Normally, Leopard's Dark Bring allows her to counter magic by "wearing" it like a dress. Too bad it doesn't work with Etherion.
• The Smurfette Principle: The only female member in the Six Guard.
• Stripperiffic: Her battle outfit is a revealing bodice that shows off her cleavage, navel and spotted panties.
• Wolverine Claws: Leopard's weapons are a pair of armored claws, reinforcing her cat motif.

Giraffe

A man with a similar haircut to Elvis and giraffe-patterned pants. His Dark Bring allows him to twist any object that he touches, no matter how hard.

---

• Kick the Dog: After spending most of his screentime caring for Leopard, Giraff kills her brutally when she loses to Elie.

Lievre

The largest member is perverted and looks like a large mustachioed bunny with a wrestling outfit. His Dark Bring allows him to blow things away, but it also tears things apart and is incredibly smelly.

---

• Breath Weapon: Lievre's Dark Bring, Hard Breath, turns his breath into a devastating, if stinky, weapon.
• The Brute: Lievre is the powerhouse of the team and relies mostly on brute force.
• Dirty Old Man: Lievre's a huge pervert, not unlike Ogre. At least Ogre didn't try to strip and grope his female opponents in combat.
• Neck Snap: Lievre is defeated by Julia, who snaps his neck. He recovers just in time for Haru to snap his neck again.
• Politically Incorrect Villain: Lievre is a sexist pervert who thinks that women are weak and unable to fight if stripped naked. Julia proves him wrong by kicking his ass bare-chested.
• Single-Stroke Battle: Lievre recovers from his broken neck in time to run into Haru, who promptly deals with him in one blow.

Koala

A small koala-looking guy. He has his Dark Bring hanging around his neck which allows him to create and modify machinery.

---

• Bring Me My Brown Pants: When cornered by a very pissed off Haru, Koala ends up crying like a little child and wetting himself, to the point that a disgusted Haru lets him go.
• Depraved Dwarf: Koala is one of the worst scumbags of the story, and is quite diminutive, even though he claims he's not a child.
• Glass Cannon: Koala can be easily defeated, but first you have to bypass his mecha defenses.
• Gutted Like a Fish: Koala is gutted by Lucia while he's distracted.
• Mini-Mecha: Koala's Dark Bring, Machinery, allows him to manipulate machines and create mechas and vehicles out of thin air, making him and annoyingly formidable opponent.
• The Stoic: Koala doesn't have a really wide variety of facial expression.
• Verbal Tic: Koala often peppers his sentences with "Mmmhh..", while Leopard usually states that she "likes/doesn't like X".

Chien Vivirrien

The first Blue Guardian to be introduced, and a rather fat member. His Dark Bring allows him to put people to sleep, leaving them at the mercy of his attacks.

---

• Combat Pragmatist: By using his Dark Bring to put his enemies to sleep, he gets plenty of time to pummel on them while they are unable to fight back.
• Fat Bastard: Chien is obese, a nod the the Tanuki, and very brutal and unpleasant, with his knack for whaling on sleeping people.
• Forced Sleep: Chien's Dark Bring can forcibly put people to sleep for seven hours.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: Subverted with Chien: when Ruby bounces back his sleep powers on him he can still fight in his sleep, and is even more dangerous than before. Played straigth by Requin, who's tricked into turning liquid while falling from a great height.
• Obfuscating Stupidity: When Chien is introduced he looks like a loud, sleepy Fat Idiot. He then proceed to reveal some insight when he instantly see through Branch's bluff and tricks the heroes into leading them to the Rebels hideout.

The Four Demon Lords

In General

The rulers of the Mythical Realm where all the sentinoids come from with an iron fist. Beryl convinces them to submit themselves to Lucia. They become his Quirky Miniboss Squad during the final battle.

---

• The Magnificent: They all have a title to go with their names; Megido of Lava, Jiero of Despair, Uta the Eternal, and Asura of Darkness.
• Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Fitting for demonic beings who loyally serve Lucia, two of them carry some pretty unfriendly names that bring a lot of destructive connotation to mind:
  • Ashura is named after the bloodthirsty and destructive demons of both Japanese tradition and Hinduism.
  • Megido is where, according to Book of Revelation, the Final Battle at the end of the world will happen.
• No Body Left Behind: Each of the Demon Lords do this as they are defeated, with the exception of Megido, whose body is melted by lava.
• Oh, Crap!: All of them when the heroes manage to gain the upper hand. Jiero when Belnika attempts to pull a Taking You with Me on her, when Nibel uses forbidden magic to age himself and match her power and realizing Julia has found out her weakness. Uta when Let reveals he holds the spirit of the Dragon King in him and proceeds to curbstomp him. Ashura when he suddenly realizes Haru's Sword, the Ten Commandments, was made for destroying Dark Bring of which he is made out of. And Megido when Shuda slashes through his Hellfire and him along with it.
• Quirky Mini Boss Squad: For the final battle. Gave all the heroes a run for their money that left them near-death due to having to use forbidden magic just to even the odds or, at best, severely wounded.

Megido

A massive humanoid lion. He was the first to join Lucia during the Dark Rendezvous recruiting process due to his desire to gain more power.

---

• Avenging the Villain: Subverted. While Megido isn't happy with the news that Doryu, a former Demon King, was defeated by a human, he deems them not enough to get him to take measures against the perpetrator.
• Beastman: He looks like a large anthropomorphic lion.
• Breath Weapon: He breathes massive blasts of fire capable of damaging even Endless.
• Playing with Fire: Megido rules over fire and flames, harnessing their destructive power to attack his foes. He is capable of releasing potent fiery bursts from his body, striking anyone in a large radius around him.
• Taking You with Me: Megido attempts this by breaking the ground Shuda and he are fighting on and trying to drop both of them into the lava below. Is thwarted when Haru manages to save Shuda.
• Undying Loyalty: All the Demon Lords swear loyalty once they see how evil Lucia is, but Megido stands out the most, since he's made the second most appearances next to Doryu. At the same time he slightly subverts it, as at first Megido was going to torch Beryl alive for suggesting to side with Lucia, but eventually changed his mind.
• Villainous Rescue: Megido shows up in a flying carriage to rescue Lucia and stops ''The Endless'' with his Breath Weapon.
• Villainous Valor: Megido seems to be quite honourable, and even decides to let the (exhausted) group off the hook as a repaiment for not killing Lucia.

Jiero

A Demon Goddess resembling a scantily-clad woman, and also said to be the former queen of the makai world. While human in appearance, her body is made of ice, allowing her to regenerate herself, and she controls magic and despair which somewhat fuels.

---

• Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Out of the Demon Lords, Jiero is the only woman and wears a midriff-baring outfit that is basically a bikini.
• The Dreaded: Her mere sight caused Julia to sweat and tremble in fear.
• An Ice Person: Jiero can generate and control ice.
• Naked on Arrival: She's first seen slumbering completely naked inside a large mass of ice.
• Punny Name: Her name is a pun on "hielo", the Spanish word for ice.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: Jiero's first appearance has her sealed inside a block of ice, put on sale in the human world. She then thaws out of her prison and proceeds to level the whole place.
• Showgirl Skirt: She wears a skirt split into several feet-long tails ending in spheres. It's left open on the front to reveal her legs and bikini bottom.
• The Smurfette Principle: She's the only female of the Demon Lords.
• Squishy Wizard: Jiero has a Healing Factor and can recover from most heavy damage done to her. However, the group she's fighting against (Julia, Belnika and Nibel) realize while her outsides can take a lot of damage. Her insides are vulnerable as her skeleton is made of ice. Once the latter two damage her enough to paralyze her, cue Julia coming in for the finishing blow via Kiss of Death.
• Stripperiffic: Jiero dons a skimpy outfit that resembles a bikini, fully exposing her cleavage, midriff and thighs.
• Super Mode: Jiero's hair stands up and is apparently stronger.
• Winged Humanoid: She has a small pair of angel-like wings protruding from her lower back.

Uta

A Demon War God used to defend Lucia as he prepared the second Overdrive. He was a human-like demon who possessed inhuman strength, wielding a hundred-foot longsword with incredible ease.

---

• BFS: Uta's signature weapon is the Ethernal Blade, a sword of gargantuan proportions, roughly ten times taller and larger than his owner.
• Blood Knight: It's only when engaging worthy foes in battle that he forsakes his lack of expression to take on a pleased sneer.
• Horned Humanoid: He has a second form where 2 horns grow from his head.
• Master Swordsman: Uta is acknowledged as the strongest swordsman in the entire Demon World.

Ashura

While normally small and implike, it is merely to conceal his true form which is a gargantuan Satanic demon with a countless amount of Dark Bring embedded into its body. He has the ability to use any Dark Bring in the world and also can combine Dark Bring to produce effects.

---

• Achilles' Heel: Ashura apparently forgot that being a demon filled with Dark Bring means he's a sitting duck for the Ten Powers (and Plue).
• All Your Powers Combined: Ashura controls every Dark Bring, in addition to Final Story which initially allowed him to destroy any Dark Bring used against him before he gave it to Lucia.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: Ashura fights Haru, with the former dominating the fight after his One-Winged Angel due to his Dark Bring nature. Unfortunately, it's for those same reasons he ultimately is destroyed since the latter has the Ten Powers, which is his Achilles' Heel.
• Killer Rabbit: Despite his small size, he was able to defeat Musica with ease. Subverted, he's actually much bigger than in his true form.
• Literally Shattered Lives: His body reduced to pieces after receiving a direct attack from Haru's Rave-powered sword.
• One-Winged Angel: Asura has access to a second form that causes his body drastically increases in mass and height, becoming several times larger than his normal self. The result of such changes is a towering, heavily muscular and slightly hunched being which has little to share with Asura's previous form.
• Stupid Evil: Ashura chooses to fight Haru, despite his entire body consisting of the thing that the latter's weapon was meant to destroy.
• Too Dumb to Live: Ashura's body was implanted with Dark Bring, forgot that he was fighting Haru, whose sword was made to destroy Dark Bring.
• Winged Humanoid: Asura grows a pair of dark wings in his true form.

---

• Cool Big Sis: She's a loving sister to Haru.

Nakajima

A strange plant person who grows on Haru's house. He's some sort of bizarre insectivorous sunflower, but even though he's a plant he refuses to admit this. In the side-comics, he babysits Levin, mostly via tormenting him.

Voiced by: Kosuke Okano

---

• Bizarre Alien Biology: He can move only when others don't see him and can reproduce asexually despite having parents.
• Cloudcuckoolander: His attempts at trying to sound worldly comes as across as him babbling nonsense.
• Know-Nothing Know-It-All: While he does seem to be knowledgeable about the outside world (for example, explaining to Haru what Demon Card was and what's the political situation of the Empire), he's not that much knowledgeable.
• Offscreen Teleportation: His species are immobile legless plants but live in a normal-looking village affixed to houses and manage to go about normal human lives, but only offscreen, with no explanation about how they do it.
• Oh, Crap!: Early on has a genuine moment of fear in which he screams at Haru and Cattleya to run before Favel burst a hole in the house with his cannon.
• Plant Person: A sunflower...thing.
• Trademark Favorite Food: He likes to eat bugs and ramen.
• Truly Single Parent: He gives birth to a child, which horrifies poor Levin, which puts the plausibility of Nakajima having two parents into further confusion.

Branch

Cattleya's ex-boyfriend. He encountered Haru while preparing to enter a local dance competition with Nagisa(who was under the name of Mika). He's also a member of Demon Card, though a minor one.

• Animal Theme Naming: Named after a dog breed, the Shiba Inu, like the Knights of the Blue Sky.

• Passing the Torch: Twice. When he sees Haru able to use the Rave stone, he realizes he's the Rave Master successor and gives up his sword and power to him. Later, after Haru gains near all the stones, Shiba tests him one last time by taking a potion that restores his youth and fighting him to see if he truly has the resolve to finish the quest.
