General Tropes

Tropes that apply to the God's Eyes bearers as a whole:

• All of the Other Reindeer
• Blessed with Suck/Cursed with Awesome: They all have nifty abilities, but the Fantastic Racism and negative side effects make whether or not they're worth it very questionable at times.
• Curtains Match the Window: They're all born with black hair and black eyes. Technically, anyway.
• Dark and Troubled Past: While none of them are ever elaborated on, given the amount of Fantastic Racism going on, the state they were likely in by the time Tiir found them, and Tiir's sheer pessimism...
• Death of a Child: Most of the God's Eyes bearers are children, and it doesn't make them any less likely to be slaughtered.
• Family of Choice: Having no one else, they're this for each other.
• Fantastic Racism: All are a victim of this, and some dish it back out at the humans.
• Glowing Eyes of Doom: See Red Eyes, Take Warning.
• Harmful to Minors: Their eyes always awaken at a young age, and from there, their lives are going to be hell. Tiir notes that many of the children were already broken by the time he picked them up.
• Hearing Voices: Iino Doue and Will Heim bearers do.
• Magical Eye
• Offing the Offspring: Tiir mentions that it's not uncommon for children with Cursed Eyes to be murdered by their own parents.
• Parental Abandonment
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: The vermillion pattern comes out when they're using their power. Depending on who it is, this is potentially something very, very bad.
• Stern Chase: They can't afford to stay in one place for too long, given the risks of being discovered.

Tiir Rumibul

Tiir Rumibul

Voiced by: Takahiro Sakurai (JP), Robert McCollum (EN)

An Iino Doue bearer and old enemy of Claugh's. He seeks to create a world where Cursed Eye bearers can live in peace.

---

• Anti-Hero/Anti-Villain: Could be considered one of the two, considering that, despite his Ax-Crazy tendencies, he still is one of Ryner's allies, though which one generally depends on the specific situation. Now that he's learning to let go of his hatred, he seems to have settled on Anti-Hero.
• Arch-Enemy: Claugh sees him as one.
• An Arm and a Leg: His arm gets cut off while fighting Lucile, but given his Healing Factor, it's not a problem. Considering what he did to Claugh, though, it's almost karmic.
• Ax-Crazy
• Bad Powers, Bad People
• Badass Longcoat
• Battle Butler: For Ene.
• Berserk Button: There are a lot of things he hates about humans, but the one thing he abhors above all else is betrayal, hence why he Will Not Tell a Lie. Notably, for all his Moral Myopia, turning his back on an ally is the one line he will never cross.
• Berserker Tears: After Ene's death, as he declares his intention to go on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge.
• Big Brother Instinct: Towards the children under his care.
• Black-and-White Insanity: One of Tiir's major flaws is his inability to see humans as anything other than scum (and, conversely, Cursed Eye bearers as anything other than friends).
• Blessed with Suck: As powerful as Tiir's Iino Doue makes him, Ryner notes that his consequent inability to use magic is a major drawback against opponents who wield Rule Fragments—namely Gastark, aka Tiir's biggest threat.
• Bond One-Liner: The enemy wasn't dead, but they'd clearly lost the battle:
  "Aren't you foolish livestock, for thinking that you could kill your predator?"
• Born Winner
• Break the Haughty: For all his talk about how strong he is, he just can't seem to protect those he cares about, which he's aware of. This, his increasing desperation as Roland and Gastark conquer the continent, and Ryner's "The Reason You Suck" Speech ultimately lead him to accepting humans as allies, as he realizes that he doesn't have much of a choice anymore.
• Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: A friendlier and more cheerful example, but he essentially has this dynamic with Ene.
• Brutal Honesty
• Cloudcuckoolander: Mildly. His thought process isn't always... all there, as made clear while conversing with Ryner on the way to Lafra and co.
• Creepy Shadowed Undereyes: Absent in the anime, though.
• Cruel and Unusual Death: Likes to dish this out, with methods including Eaten Alive, Half the Man He Used to Be, Off with His Head!, and Your Head A-Splode.
• Curtains Match the Window
• Cynicism Catalyst: He's lost a fair amount of friends to humans, only adding to his hatred.
• Dark Is Evil: At first.
• Dark Is Not Evil: Once he shifts more into Anti-Hero/Anti-Villain territory.
• Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: Part of what feeds his Inferiority Superiority Complex. He's (unsuccessfully) trying to convince himself that the Cursed Eye bearers were meant for more than suffering and dying by the hands of humans.
• Determinator: He's nothing if not stubborn in a fight, even when severely injured.
• Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette
• Energy Absorption
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones
• Even Evil Has Standards: Disapproves of drug use.
• Evil Counterpart: To Ryner, being the other primary Cursed Eye bearer in the series whose Character Development somewhat mimics his as well. Whereas Ryner still liked humans, however, Tiir chose to resent them.
• Evil Has a Bad Sense of Humor: Let's just say that Ryner doesn't appreciate his jokes related to cannibalism.
• Evil Tastes Good
• Explaining Your Power to the Enemy: After Sion makes a decent hypothesis regarding his powers, Tiir cheerfully affirms what was right and corrects what wasn't.
• Failure Knight: Blames himself for not being able to protect the other Cursed Eye bearers, whom he sees as family, which helps to explain why he's so concerned with keeping them alive.
• Failure-to-Save Murder: See Failure Knight above.
• Faux Affably Evil
• Friend to All Children: Ones with Cursed Eyes, at least.
• Glowing Eyes of Doom
• Good Thing You Can Heal: He's received some sort of serious injury in half his appearances.
• Hazy-Feel Turn: While initially introduced as a villain, he's actually neutral as a whole, concerned mainly with the survival of his group—and though he sees himself as Ryner's ally, he's not quite on Ryner's side, per se. Eventually, though, as Tiir begins to move past his hatred towards humans, Ryner convinces him to become his ally for real.
• Healing Factor
• Hearing Voices: It tells him to eat people. He complies.
• Heartbroken Badass
• Hidden Depths: While a psychopathic mass murderer, he's not as much of a mindless villain as he initially looks. For starters, he's very domestic—good at cooking, playing house, looking after kids, etc.
• I'll Kill You!: Towards Lieral a few times, and towards Lucile. Considering this is Tiir we're talking about, no one should be surprised.
• I'm a Humanitarian
• Immortality Begins at Twenty: Of the 'immune to degeneration' variety.
• Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Stabbed multiple times with stakes from the ground by Lieral during their fight.
• Implacable Man
• In a Single Bound
• Inferiority Superiority Complex: Loves to talk about how superior the Cursed Eye bearers are to humans, but some of his lines, particularly to Ene, seem to indicate that his self-esteem is lower than you'd expect.
• Innocently Insensitive: Around Ryner, due to a difference in ideals.
• Magical Eye
• Magnetic Hero: Denies that he's this for the rest of the God's Eyes bearers, despite Ene's claims to the contrary.
• Major Injury Underreaction: When Lucile cuts off his arm, he doesn't react at all.
• Moral Myopia: He's actually quite friendly towards anyone he likes, which is any Cursed Eye bearer by default. To normal humans, not so much.
• Morality Pet: His friends are this to him—particularly Ene.
• Murder the Hypotenuse: Non-romantic version. Towards the end of his Break the Haughty path, he resorts to trying to kill Ferris to undo the 'curse' over Ryner and open up his eyes so that Ryner will join them.
• No Social Skills: With his honesty and his warped idea on what's 'normal', some of his dialogue around Ryner can come across as a bit awkward from an outside perspective, even if he means well.
• Number Two: To Ene.
• Obviously Evil: The glowing red eyes, black clothes, cannibalism, and overall creepy manner should set off a few warning bells.
• Older Than They Look: As Iino Doue bearers don't age and he apparently looks exactly as he did when Claugh first met him, he's presumably this.
• One-Man Army
• Pet the Dog: His interactions with his friends.
• Platonic Life-Partners: It's not clear what exactly his relationship with Ene is, especially given their vague respective ages, but she's the most important person in his life.
• Properly Paranoid: While he generalizes too much, his overall paranoia that humans will betray and hunt down his kind if given the chance is supported by him constantly witnessing such things over and over again.
• Red and Black and Evil All Over
• Red Eyes, Take Warning
• Restored My Faith in Humanity: Ryner does this to him, in a bit of a strange example where Ryner himself, being a Cursed Eye bearer, isn't proof that not all humans are bad, but rather, his friends are—particularly Ferris. Tiir admits that he could bring himself to believe in her, at least, having seen her defend Ryner.
• Revenge: He's sworn this against Gastark. Given that the People's Republic of Sphelliyet intend to ally with them and Tiir, however reluctantly, accepts this, it's likely nothing will come out of it.
• Roaring Rampage of Revenge: He intended to do this after Ene's death, but he calms down.
• Self-Made Orphan: Devoured his mother from within the womb. Yeah, Ryner was horrified too.
• Slasher Smile
• Smug Smiler
• Smug Super
• Super-Speed
• Super-Strength
• Supreme Chef: Believe it or not, Ryner notes that his cooking's pretty good.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: He barely tolerates working with Lieral and only does it on Ene's orders.
• Tragic Bigot
• Ungrateful Bastard: Subverted. For all that Tiir hates humans (and Lieral especially), he's definitely thankful after Lieral sacrifices himself to revive Ene.
• Villains Out Shopping: After slaughtering an Estabul village and causing trouble for Roland in general, he... goes off to where his friends are waiting and cooks dinner for them?
• Will Not Tell a Lie: To a friend.

Lafra

Lafra

Voiced by: Kenichiro Ohashi (JP), Aaron Dismuke (EN)

An Ebra Crypt bearer and the one who informed Tiir of Ryner's existence. Having learned about Ryner from his dreams, he asks Ryner to bring salvation to the Cursed Eye bearers.

---

• Curtains Match the Window
• Despair Event Horizon: There are hints that he's crossed this, given the implication that he could've saved himself but chose not to.
• "Facing the Bullets" One-Liner: Though said not to his attacker, Lir, but to Ryner, just before he's killed by Lir's Lightning Beasts.
  Lafra: "... I'm glad to have met you. You'll definitely keep your promise..."
• The Gadfly: He's one of the two when it comes to Ryner, though it's hard to tell which one exactly.
• Kill the Cutie
• Long-Haired Pretty Boy
• Magical Eye
• Nice Guy: A very kind and mild-mannered boy.
• Psychic Powers: His Ebra Crypt allows him to see into people's dreams.
• Sacrificial Lion: Though he's killed soon after his introduction, his request leaves a lasting impact on Ryner, who almost always inevitably thinks of him whenever Gastark or the Cursed Eye bearers are brought up.
• Senseless Sacrifice: He dies protecting Pueka, only for her to go berserk afterwards, allowing Lir to gouge out her eyes.
• Small Role, Big Impact: He doesn't have many appearances, but his request to Ryner has a noticeable impact on the latter's personality. Specifically, it's what drives him to look out for the Cursed Eye bearers.
• Stepford Smiler
• Too Good for This Sinful Earth
• We Hardly Knew Ye

Ene Lune

Ene Lune

A Torch Curse bearer and the leader of the God's Eyes bearers.

---

• Back from the Dead: Thanks to Lieral.
• Badass Boast: She delivers one to the Priests, whom she knows must be listening to her:
  "...you'll know further fear. Because we'll be helping him. We won't let anything go your way. We'll help him, and tear apart the worthless scenario you envisioned."
• Badass Pacifist: She calms Lieral down simply by standing there and letting him strangle her, stating that it's fine even if he kills her.
• Blessed with Suck: In return for being able to see the future, the sunlight burns her eyes, she's blind, and using her powers decreases her lifespan, meaning that she's essentially dying.
• Blind Seer
• Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: The Gentle Girl to Tiir's Brooding Boy.
• Cast from Lifespan
• The Chessmaster: While she never tries to change the future she sees, she's not above using her knowledge of said future or withholding information to ensure things go the way she wants.
• Cruel to Be Kind: Her discreet manipulation of Tiir has vibes of this, as Tiir didn't exactly enjoy receiving "The Reason You Suck" Speech from Ryner (which Ene knew was going to happen), but she knew that it was for his own good.
• Curtains Match the Windows
• De-power
• Disability Superpower
• Disease Bleach: Her hair and eyes turned pale purple due to her power's 'poison'. And then inverted, when they go back to being black once she loses her powers.
• Dissonant Serenity
• Laser-Guided Amnesia: She loses her memories upon being revived.
• The Leader: A mixture of Type II and IV.
• Living Emotional Crutch: Somewhat of one for Tiir.
• Magical Eye
• Magnetic Hero: Tiir describes her as possessing "a light that can charm others."
• Morality Pet: Tiir's. Made all the more obvious when she's brought back as a human, forcing him to rethink his prejudice.
• Mystical White Hair: Pale purple, technically, but the associations still apply.
• Nerves of Steel
• Not Afraid to Die: She even tells Tiir not to be so kind to her, lest she become afraid.
• Older Than They Look
• Oracular Urchin
• Perpetual Smiler: Albeit with some Stepford Smiler shades mixed in, as she can't be too happy with being Blessed with Suck.
• Platonic Life-Partners: With Tiir.
• Rage Against the Heavens
• Waif Prophet
• Your Days Are Numbered
