Click here to see her true form 
Click here to see her "army of vengeful ghosts" 
The former Greater-Scope Villain at the core of the entire conflict, and now the Big Bad and Final Boss. A mysterious being that has existed for many centuries and possesses the bodies of powerful mages in order to resurrect. Credited with the creation of the Magical World and all of its inhabitants as well as introducing magic to humanity. Currently possessing Negi Springfield, who defeated her but not for good twenty years back.
  • Absurd Cutting Power: Her cape of all things, can slice apart a gigantic skyscraper-like tower as easily as a hot knife through butter.
  • Affably Evil: She is cold and harsh but unfailingly cordial and courteous, even to the heroes.
  • Angelic Abomination: Exactly what she is isn't exactly clear, but her true form shown when she Body Surfs is a building-sized, creepy, eldritch, angel-like goddess, mixing divine imagery with Lovecraftian aspects.
  • Antagonist Abilities: Ialda has so many of them, each so absurdly powerful, it's not even funny anymore. And provided one is mighty and skilled enough to snuff her, she has Resurrective Immortality via Demonic Possession. Overcheated much?
  • Anti-Villain: Same as every bad guy of the series. She wants to free everyone from torment and put an end to injustice. Too bad all the Solar System needs to go for that to happen...
  • Arch-Enemy: Ialda is this for Touta, Evangeline, Negi, Nagi before them, and pretty much everyone. Her actions over the centuries caused roughly 95% of their troubles.
  • The Archmage: Far and away the most powerful character of the series, whose magic can do virtually anything. Only someone of Archmage level can defeat her, but they end up possessed, meaning that not only she is one, but she assimilates others.
  • Assimilation Plot: Her main goal is to create a universal Lotus-Eater Machine so that everyone in the past and future can be a winner, and tragedies would never come to happen again.
  • The Assimilator: One who absorbs people, beings, and even entire locations as extensions of her being.
  • Ax-Crazy: The first thing she does when she shows up inside her Phantasmagoria is to rip Yukihime in half with a psychotic Slasher Smile on her face. For someone whose supposed goal is to end all misery, shouldering the pain of mankind clearly has done a number on her psyche.
  • Badass Boast: Delivers a nice one during the Final Battle, right before her final defeat.
    Mage of the Beginning: "Come at me then! You Immortals! You victors! I am the queen of the defeated! The savior of all those weak ones who were beaten and cast aside to waste away to nothing! Feel our rage and resentment! Know the Abyss of Despair!!"
  • Badass Cape: Wears a long one torn to shred, creepily floating around her over several yards. She no longer goes In the Hood though.
  • Badass Longrobe: Standard for an Evil Sorceress, but few wear it as impressively as her.
  • Barrier Warrior: Ialda can stop attacks with an invisible, bubble-like screen all around herself.
  • Beam Spam: Her most common form of magic offence, and not with little blasts.
  • Big Bad: Just as she was in the last series, and this time she takes center stage. The only reason Fate is doing anything ambiguously evil is to stop her.
  • Body Surf: Suggested in Negima, confirmed here. Whenever she is defeated, Ialda simply possesses the hero who killed her. They gain her empathic power, and she revives through them after the neverending misery it brings inevitably shatters their mind.
  • Break Them by Talking: A goldsmith in the art, who can Mind Rape enemies with blistering words alone.
  • Casting a Shadow: Most of her attacks are darkness-based.
  • Combat Tentacles: Under her true form, she spreads millions of gigantic dark tentacles over hundreds of miles, attacking anyone coming close on their own. Some are even sentient, sporting draconic heads.
  • Combo Platter Powers: She has an entire stock of it, each a Story Breaker one. Domain Holder, Mental World, Reality Warper, Creating Life, The Power of Creation, you name it. Just to grasp the surface...
  • Create Your Own Hero: The reason why Negi, Evangeline, and by extension Touta exist is all because of her. Negi is her direct descendant through his mother, Evangeline was turned into a vampire by her immortalization experiments, and Touta was created from Negi's DNA to eventually defeat her.
  • Creating Life: She gave life to most of her vassals from scratch.
  • Creepy Blue Eyes: The art cover reveals her eyes to be a pale, piercing blue.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Contemptuously wipes the floor with both Touta and Evangeline without even trying, during the Final Boss Preview.
  • Cursed with Awesome: She has won one of the hugest Super Power Lottery in all fiction, but her main ability broke her beyond repair.
  • The Cynic: Understatement of the century, she can only see the bad side of everything.
  • Dark Is Evil: Ialda dons a Black Cloak, wields Casting a Shadow powers, and is the Big Bad.
  • Dark Messiah: Her goal is to make the universe into a "paradise" free of all pain and suffering, with her vassals hailing her as the "savior" who will free mankind.
  • Deity of Human Origin: The Vampire Noble Ba'al reveals that she was part of humanity. But now, she is a god-like being of nigh-omnipotence.
  • Demiurge Archetype: Her real name is a reference to Ialdabaoth/Yaldabaoth, one of the Demiurge's many names. She is a Deity of Human Origin with an Angelic Abomination as a One-Winged Angel form, much like how the Demiurge originally was a being of light created by Sophia. She created a flawed artificial Magic Land, much like how the Demiurge created the flawed physical world in contrast to the perfect spiritual world. Lastly, her ultimate goal is to entrap everyone in a Lotus-Eater Machine where they get to live their hearts desire, even if she has to kill everyone to get them there, much like how the Demiurge entraps everyone in physical forms of matter against their will.
  • Demonic Possession: Does this to her victors, reducing them as mere vessels for her revival.
    • Anyone she absorbs becomes part of her, with her personality overwriting their own.
  • Domain Holder: Any place she assimilates becomes her playground in every sense of the word, being able to control it or to appear everywhere. She can assimilate entire planetoids.
  • The Dreaded: So much that merely mentioning her could start a catastrophic global panic.
  • Dual Wielding: Clashes with Touta using a One-Handed Zweihänder in each hand during the Final Battle.
  • The Empath: Her "Resonance" power of "Infinite Empathy" enables her to sense the feelings of everyone in the present and the past. (And considering that there are always more miserable people than happy ones...). It invariably breaks the will of every person she possesses, like it did to her.
  • Evil Is Bigger: One of the tallest characters of the series, along with Dana.
  • Evil Sorcerer: Or as it turns out, Evil Sorceress.
  • Fallen Hero: She spent her first centuries helping victims of tragedies however she could, creating the Magical World as a safe haven. Her failure to bring a permanent solution led to her Face–Heel Turn.
  • Familial Foe: Nagi, Negi and now Touta, that's three generations trying to get rid of that wench, and only barely succeding.
  • Final Boss: Ialda is continuously described as such, to the point that the heroes repeatedly call her this instead of her usual titles.
  • Final Boss Preview: Tota finally gets to meet her in person within her Phantasmagoria and tries to end the conflict here and now. Even with Evangeline, they endure the worst Curb-Stomp Battle they ever knew, with an unhealthy dose of Mind Rape.
  • Gender Reveal: Negima! was very vague when it came to her gender. In UQ Holder, it's finally clarified that she is a woman with everyone explicitly addressing her with female pronouns.
  • Genius Bruiser: Not only is she obscenely overpowered, but she is very smart. Enough to be a heavyweight champion of psychological torture and to devise clever plans.
  • Guardian Entity: When she feels like it, she can surround herself with a tower-sized creature of darkness, looking like an eldritch lamprey with Extra Eyes all around its fanged mouth and miles-long Combat Tentacles. She positions herself inside it's open mouth to fight.
  • Hannibal Lecture: Ialda no longer believes in happiness, and makes a point in disabusing anyone she meets with the notion. Her very first words at Touta about Evangeline make a chilling example.
    Mage of the Beginning: "Child. Did you think that this girl has been saved? Did you honestly think that faint hint of a smile meant she had been taken from her hell? If so, then you really have the brain of a fool. Have all your deaths addled your wits, immortal? This girl will never find happiness. Never in all eternity. This is a fact the girl is well aware of."
  • The Heavy: Nothing in both mangas would have happened if it was not for her. Heck, the very sequel was written to address the myriad of unanswered questions about her.
  • Hoist by Her Own Petard: Negi destroyed Ialda with a spell she herself created. Unfortunately, that only postponed the problem, subverting the trope. Later played straight, when he develops an artifact that can free those it touches from her influence, all due to figuring out how her possession magic works from the time he spent under her control.
    • To a greater extent, she can only be truly destroyed with the "White of Mars" Power of Creation wielded by the heroes, who got it from her due to being her descendants.
  • Hope Crusher: Ialda cannot stand hope and makes her mission of destroying it in her enemies. She wants them to be as broken as she is, likely to prove her point. And man, is she good at it.
  • Hot Witch: Tall, dark and gorgeous.
  • How the Mighty Have Fallen: She spends most of the series as an all-powerful Final Boss, feared by all. By the epilogue, with all that makes her a threat systematically removed, she ends up powerless and unable to resurface.
  • Improbable Weapon User: She unleashes barrels of whoop-ass with her cape, the standard marker of status for wizards.
  • Kansas City Shuffle: Just as UQ Holder is finally reunited after 45 years, they are forced to rush to Pluto for Ialda is concentrating magic power to enact her Assimilation Plot. However, it was a diversion to lure them here and get from them the "keys" she needs. With them locked there, Ba'al can launch the real offensive on Earth unopposed. And even when they escape, she can still follow them.
  • Karma Houdini Warranty: After giving the heroes so much trouble for most of the series, by the end she is defeated for good in the Final Battle.
  • Large and in Charge: The Big Bad who towers over most of her vassals and foes.
  • Light Is Not Good: Ialda's true form looks white and bright, but is plenty evil.
  • Literally Shattered Lives: After her defeat in the Final Battle, her body and the gigantic magic circles of the Cosmo Entelekhia spell shatter into 12 billion fragments. Touta and Negi's plan in doing so, is to send one fragment to each sentient being in the Solar System to make her return impossible, and make people more altruistic.
  • Logical Weakness: Her "Infinite Empathy" depends on the suffering of people. In the epilogue, civilizations have spread out into the wider cosmos, and the Earth is now a natural reserve, she has no suffering to draw power from, leaving her unable to resurface.
  • Magic Knight: She seldom needs them, but she is as skilled with (huge) weapons as she is powerful.
  • Many Spirits Inside of One: She has millions of woeful spirits who succumbed to despair welded into her soul, whose resentment fuel her power and madness. They are called her "army of vengeful ghosts" and manifest as an eldritch, four-armed titan made of countless ghastly skulls.
  • Master of Threads: She manipulates her cape to bind or rip foes apart if she feels inclined. She can make her cape's torn ends as sharp as razors to deliver dozens of stabs per second, if not cover entire miles in the blink of an eye. She can also harden it to withstand attacks or swat people away like annoying midges.
  • Meaningful Name: Her true name is revealed as "Ialda Baoth", which is derived from Yaldabaoth, the Demiurge of Gnosticism.
  • Mental World: Ialda can create those, called "Phantasmagorias", dimensions outside of reality she shapes, changes and controls at her leisure, described as an extension of her thoughts or her "womb".
  • Mind Rape: She is frighteningly good in breaking her enemies' spirit, usually via Break Them by Talking while magically exposing them to unspeakable despair.
  • Monster Progenitor: She somehow turned Evangeline into a vampire.
  • Mook Maker: Ialda can spawn hundreds of thousands of demonic constructs in a matter of seconds.
  • Mysterious Past: Where was she born? What made her what she is? How was she before losing her marbles? None of the two mangas explain it, keeping her surrounded with an air of mystery.
  • Not So Invincible After All: For all her incredible power, it is all still derived of magic, thus vulnerable to the Anti-Magic "White Of Mars" power. See also Hoist by His Own Petard above.
    • It's also revealed in the epilogue that her powers cannot work past a certain distance beyond the Solar System. It might not seem much at first, until taking into account how far humanity has spread throughout the galaxy.
    Evangeline: "Ialda's powers were so beyond anything, anyone could handle. All those heroes struggled so hard to beat her. And you solved the problem with reduced numbers and physical distance. It's so ridiculously practical..."
  • Not So Stoic: She is usually imperturbable, but anyone forcing her to go One-Winged Angel will soon wish she still was, for she becomes a terrifying mass of Tranquil Fury hellbent on annihilating all resistance. Right before the decisive clash, she even delivers her Badass Boast at the top of her lungs, sporting a demented Slasher Smile.
  • The Omnipresent: Ialda becomes this in any place she assimilated.
  • One-Hit Kill: She can shoot darts that disintegrate everyone they strike into ashes, negating any Healing Factor (though immortals can be revived). Fortunately, she does not use them often.
  • One-Man Army: One so powerful she routinely Curb Stomps other examples of the trope.
  • One-Winged Angel: Destroy her and her nightmarish true form rises, causing far bigger troubles.
  • The Paralyzer: Ialda can crush many people in place with the sheer pressure she radiates.
  • Person of Mass Construction: In addition to the entire Magical World of Negima!, Ialda creates entire dimensions, including her ever-present Edenic alternate reality.
  • Person of Mass Destruction: Reducing titanic towers to rubble as easily as one blows out a candle. And that's merely her warming up...
  • Physical God: She has become divine and has all the power she needs to press the claim.
  • Poisonous Person: Ialda emits a dark miasma that poisons everyone it comes across, causing extreme, virtually incurable fever, that only immortals have a minute hope of surviving if treated in time.
  • The Power of Creation: She brings it Beyond the Impossible, only a few steps down from The Omnipotent.
  • Powered by a Forsaken Child: Ialda draws power from all the suffering, misery, and all-about negativity that ever was or is.
  • Put Them All Out of My Misery: The reason behind her plan. Justified knowing that her misery is that of everyone else's in all planets and dimensions.
  • Reality Maker: She can create alternate realities unfolding on their own.
  • Reality Warper: Reality is her plaything.
  • Really 700 Years Old: Add two millennia and the count is good. Over a century passed since Negima! in which she already was over 2600 years old.
  • Resurrective Immortality: With a dash of You Kill It, You Bought It. Death is a bad flu to her.
  • Returning Big Bad: The Sealed Evil in a Can Greater-Scope Villain of Negima! is now the Big Bad.
  • Riddle for the Ages: How, When and Why did she became such an unfathomably powerful Demiurge Archetype stopping at nothing to Put Them All Out of My Misery will never be explained.
  • Shapeshifting Seducer: Inside her Phantasmagoria, the Life-Maker takes Negi's form and tries to seduce Eva by kissing her as part of a psychological trick to distract her.
  • Shrouded in Myth: As the builder of the Magical World, she is mentioned in its legends, though few paid it any mind until she resurfaced.
  • Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids!: To sum up her mindset in five seconds.
  • Slasher Smile: Harbours chilling ones whenever her Ax-Crazy-ness breaks her stoic facade.
  • Slouch of Villainy: Ialda sits on her thrones that way, with no small amount of poise.
  • Sorcerous Overlord: An unfathomably powerful Evil Sorceress, ruling an entire planetoid where she builds a palace, populated by her vassals.
  • Spontaneous Weapon Creation: She can conjure many ginormous spears and swords, wield them, make them float around her, or hurl one right through her foe the second she creates it.
  • Storm of Blades: Ialda attacks with onslaughts of dark spears, from dozens to hundreds.
  • Summon Magic: She can summon demons and undeads, and call forth her vassals to her side.
  • Supernatural Fear Inducer: She exudes a potent Aura of Fear from all sides, petrifying anyone for miles around. Even the Badass Crew of heroes shake before her, knowing by instinct how deadly she is.
    Isana Konoe (feeling her awful aura from miles away): "It's like someone opened the lid to Hell… And every curse in the entire world is spilling out."
  • Superpower Lottery: Ialda bankrupted every casino in Las Vegas. A large part of this list explains just how ungodly overpowered she is.
  • Statuesque Stunner: She is about three meters tall, and very beautiful.
  • The Stoic: She is creepily imperturbable, looking bored most of the time.
  • Story-Breaker Power: Each and every power she possesses is one, and she has no shortage of the stuff.
  • Tendrils of Darkness: Uses those to stab and bind foes under her true form.
  • Utopia Justifies the Means: She feels the misery of everyone who lived, believes it will eventually overwhelm the world, and aims to avert it. However, her attempts amount to The End of the World as We Know It. She wants to trap the universe in a Lotus-Eater Machine, thus ending suffering.
  • Villain No Longer Idle: Greatly downplayed due to her host Fighting from the Inside for decades. But as soon as she emerges she sets her plot into motion, forcing the heroes in a Race Against the Clock to stop her before she unleashes her brand of Apocalypse How.
  • Wave-Motion Gun: Ialda's mightiest magical attack unleashes a tremendous barrage of the stuff. Taken Beyond the Impossible when launched from a planetoid she assimilated; she fires dozens of them, with a single one being enough to make the Death Star proud.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Ialda genuinely believes that she is doing people a favour by removing them from existence. To her credit, she does send them into a paradisiac alternate reality.
  • With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Boy howdy! "Infinite Empathy" is the foremost of her seemingly unlimited powers, and as stated above it invariably drives its wielder insane by its very nature.
  • Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: She shouldered the pain and anguish of everyone who ever suffered for centuries, and was thoroughly broken as a result. She wants to erase all suffering no matter the cost to finally be at peace.
  • Worthy Opponent: Ialda first appears to revel in being the heroes' enemy, but in fact views them as insufferable thorns in her side. Touta despises her for causing his loved ones' woes, all the same, respects her dedication to fight for the downtrodden.
  • You Kill It, You Bought It: Congratulations! You just killed the obscenely powerful Big Bad! Now everyone will sing your deeds, but you won't be around to hear it for she will hear it through your ears.

The Life-Maker's Apostles

Those bound to the Life-Maker

    In General 

The core members on the side of the current Life-Maker vessel, featuring a surprising roster of returning characters.


  • Anti Villains: Negi and his followers aren't shown to have any malice during their fight with UQ Holder and can even act cordial towards their enemies. Negi even had genuine shock when Cutlass stabbed Kirie. Strictly speaking, they're actually victims themselves; they have become pretty much nothing but the Life-Maker's puppets by this point.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: The reason most of the formerly heroic characters are cooperating with Ialda turns out to be because they were assimilated, slowly eroding their free wills until they just became puppets of Ialda's will.
  • Deprogram: Thanks to an artifact developed by a freed Negi, all the bound apostles have been liberated from Ialda's control.
  • Evil Is One Big, Happy Family: With the exception of Cutlass, this group is comprised of people who see each other as close friends and comrades.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: The others were infected by the Life-Maker while attempting to protect Negi from her. Ultimately turns into a Stupid Sacrifice, as she ends up getting Negi anyway as her host, albeit later and at least she was foiled this time around.

    Negi Springfield 

Voiced by: Rina Sato (JP), Greg Ayres (EN)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/negi_springfield.jpg

The Hero of Negima! Magister Negi Magi and allegedly Touta's grandfather. First believed to be dead, it has been revealed that he has been mysteriously sealed away. He has become the Mage of the Beginning's vessel, leader of her Apostles.

For his previous appearance in Negima! Magister Negi Magi, check the series' respective Characters Page.

  • Age-Gap Romance:
    • Back when he was ten, he had a crush on Chisame, who was five years older than him. In the timeline with Asuna, he asked Chisame to be his girlfriend, but she turned him down mainly because he was still a kid. They did marry once he got older.
    • In the UQ timeline without Asuna, Negi formed formal contracts with both Nodoka and Yue who, like Chisame, are five years older than him.
    • Also in the UQ timeline, after Nodoka and Yue are taken away by the Life-Maker, romantic feelings eventually develop between Negi and Evangeline who, eternally youthful bodies aside, are 600 years apart in age, although they never end up entering an 'official' relationship.
  • And I Must Scream: His body has fallen completely under the control of his biggest enemy, all while he's being mentally tortured by the Resonance that makes him feel the pain and suffering of every single being from the past and present in the galaxy.
  • The Archmage: He's considered to be this by everyone in the galaxy, and especially so after becoming one with the Mage of the Beginning.
  • Archnemesis Dad: Towards Touta, but not by his own will, mind you.
  • Babies Ever After: Negi ends up having kids with all of his surviving Ministra Magi sometime after Asuna became unsealed.
  • Badass in Distress: He's become the Mage of the Beginning's newest host. Yukihime's and Fate's goal is to find a way to free him, although both have different plans for it.
  • Badass Long Robe: He sports a massive one when he makes a personal appearance. The way it curls makes it look almost identical to the Life-Maker's in form.
  • Beautiful Dreamer: The night he went to Eva after the first battle against the Lifemaker, Negi fell asleep on Eva's bed as she watched him in concern.
  • Broken Ace: He's considered one of the best mages in the galaxy, but he lost everyone close to him in the war against Ialda, eventually losing control of his body as well.
  • The Bus Came Back: Finally makes an actual non-flashback appearance in Chapter 125, in front of Touta and the others no less.
  • Celibate Hero: In the UQ timeline, Negi never pursued a romance with Chisame nor Evangeline, even though their feelings were mutual, because he had his mind full of trying to defeat the Lifemaker and he didn't believe he had the right to seek personal happiness after he failed to save the people he cared about. The only time Negi acted on his feelings for Evangeline was when she tearfully called him out for planning to kill himself along the Lifemaker because that would make her lose another man she loved.
    • Very much averted in the ending where he had a kid with Asuna, Nodoka, Konoka, Chisame, Setsuna, and Yue.
  • Chekhov's Skill: Back in Negima!, after Negi defeated Graf Wilhelm von Herrmann, von Herrmann points out that Negi learned a ninth high ancient spell that allows him to completely destroy demons, which is brought up again in a flashback in Chapter 149 of UQ Holder!. It's a Suicide Attack called Manus Jalda, the Hand of Ialda, and Negi intends to use it on himself (now an immortal demon) in a Self-Sacrifice Scheme, after he defeats Ialda and she tries to possess him.
  • Climactic Battle Resurrection: He gets brought back by Touta, so that they can save the world together in the Final Battle.
  • Cry into Chest: In Chapter 148, after Negi failed to defeat Ialda and lost some of his closest comrades and friends in the battle, he goes to Eva's cottage. The rain initially masks Negi's tears and he cries his heart out into Eva's chest.
  • Death Is the Only Option: Since Asuna cannot help Negi in timeline A, as she was sealed, Negi thought the only way to defeat Ialda was to invoke a Self-Sacrifice Scheme by killing himself (and her with him) when she possesses him. It fails and Negi is possessed by Ialda without dying.
  • Demonic Possession: He is being possessed by the Mage of the Beginning at the moment. However, Chapter 126 reveals that he is still very much himself, so it is unclear exactly to what extent this trope applies. Turns out he's Fighting from the Inside, and that the free wills of Nodoka, Yue, Rakan, and Sanders are all bolstering his own, weakening (though not eliminating) Ialda's influence on him.
  • Did Not Get the Girl: In the timeline without Asuna, Negi and Chisame never hook up and she ends up getting killed by Taking the Bullet for him. His formal Ministra Magi, Nodoka and Yue, are taken over by the Life-Maker. All he had left was Evangeline, but Negi never allowed himself to seek happiness with her.
  • The Dreaded: Even Karin is afraid of Negi. His mere presence can make people lose control of their bodily functions.
  • Eternal Love: He did develop romantic feelings for Yukihime once he was immortal too, but couldn't give up his goal of defeating the Life-Maker to be with her.
  • The Faceless: He is usually seen from the back. This is averted when introduced into the story proper.
  • Failure Hero: How he ended up in the timeline A. He failed to save his father, couldn't protect the girl he loved, his two Ministra Magi and his father's companions, failed to defeat the Life-Maker twice with the last attempt ending in his own Demonic Possession.
  • Fallen Hero: Negi was an All-Loving Hero who tried his best to save two worlds. His failures, however, break him and he loses control of himself by having his body stolen by Ialda.
  • Fighting from the Inside: Unlike previous examples, Negi seems to be mostly himself after merging with the Life-Maker. At least in terms of his personality, surprising Eva when he excuses himself after his classic sneeze.
  • For Happiness: Negi, now a Magister Magi, sets out to make everyone happy fighting the poverty, oppression and wars in the world. This also has practical reasons, as Ialda is fueled by the misery of humanity. By making people happy, he weakens her. Eva is pointing out how near-impossible this task is, but Negi nonetheless tries his best. Ironically, he doesn't realize that not caring about his own happiness made the people who love him unhappy. Asuna tried to get this into his head and so does Eva, as revealed in flashbacks.
  • Grand Theft Me: Is the current vessel of the Mage of the Beginning.
  • He's Back!: In chapter 189. Negi gets brought back, free of Ialda's influence, thanks to Touta.
  • Heroic BSoD: Suffers from a major one after failing to defeat Ialda, losing Nodoka, Yue, Rakan, Albireo and Chisame in the process. The time he spends with Eva slowly helps him recover, but he still eventually decides to sacrifice himself to defeat Ialda.
  • I Let Gwen Stacy Die: Without Chao Lingshen cheating with time travel and Asuna's presence like in the Negima! timeline, Negi doesn't win the battle against Nagi Ialda. Worse, Yue and Nodoka (Negi's official Ministra Magi), Rakan and Albireo Imma are all turned into Ialda's puppets, and Chisame sacrifices her life to save Negi. The very next scenes shows him cry his heart out to Eva.
  • Immortal Procreation Clause: Due to complications with Magia Erebea, he apparently could or would not have children. Unsatisfied, Negi decided his abilities needed to be passed down somehow anyway, so they created a crude copy of him, which is where Touta actually came from. At the end of the series he's shown having several children, likely as a result of becoming a regular human again.
  • Immortality: Obtained it as a side effect of overusing Magia Erebea.
  • Legendary in the Sequel: Probably even more famous now than his father was back in Negima.
  • Like Parent, Like Spouse: Eva looks quite a bit like his mother Arika, especially when aged up. When he sees her as Yukihime for the first time, Negi actually mistakes Eva for Arika and from his reaction, Chachamaru and Chachazero suspect at least some of Negi's feelings for Eva come from him visualizing her as the mother he never met.
  • The Lost Lenore: He's this to Evangeline despite not being dead yet. She deeply regrets not being able to save Negi from taking all the burden on himself and letting him refuse himself happiness. Losing him to the Life-Maker had quite an impact on her to the point she intends to put him out of his misery at the cost of her own life. On the Ho Yay side, he can also be considered this for Fate.
  • Martyr Without a Cause: Much worse than in the original series. Negi never grew out of his damaging self-sacrificing behavior and without Asuna around to keep him in check, he went and placed the weight of singlehandedly saving the solar system on his shoulders, thoroughly ruining his personal happiness while attempting it.
  • Merlin and Nimue: Evangeline was Negi's master in magic. In the UQ timeline, after a series of tragedies leave them among the few remaining people that they care about, they eventually develop feelings for each other. Negi also ended up being the person that freed Eva from her School Hell curse that Nagi put on her, but was never able to remove, as he was possessed by the Life-Maker. As a final act of love, she intends to deliver a Mercy Kill to him and free him from Ialda's possession.
  • Mortality Ensues: The final chapter shows that he renounced his Magia Erebea induced immortality at some point after resettling on the planet Cetus.
  • The Nudifier: Taken to ludicrous degrees. His Sneeze of Doom vaporizes the clothes of any living thing not protected by Anti-Magic within a mile radius.
  • Older Than He Looks: He's in his 90s, but thanks to Magia Erebea, he looks like he's in his late teens at the oldest. By the end of UQ Holder, Negi’s physical age is rewound back to how he was as a 10 year old where he would properly grow up into an adult after losing his immortality.
  • On the Rebound: Negi, in his despair after losing Chisame, Nodoka and Yue, went straight to Eva. Eva herself accuses that he did this because he wanted comfort and had no one else he was close to left, calling herself "leftovers", although Negi denies that was the case. That said, while he did eventually develop feelings for her, Negi never properly entered a relationship with Eva because he was way too busy trying to find a way to defeat the Mage of the Beginning.
  • Polyamory: Negi is in intimate romantic relationships with 6 different women at the end of the series, 7 if you were to count Chachamaru due to her presence in the final group shot of the remaining Negima cast
  • Power Makes Your Hair Grow: While in Magia Erebea mode, his hair grows a couple feet.
  • Really Gets Around: The ending shows he has kids with all of the main heroines from Negima. It's also all but stated that he formed a Formal Pactio with Nodoka and Yue, which strongly hints he had sex with them.
  • Rogue Protagonist: He was the main hero of the first Negima series. Now in the sequel, he makes his official return as the Big Bad. Although, he didn't become a villain because he really chose to; the Greater-Scope Villain from the first series possessed him.
  • Second Love: Negi ended up being Eva's, after she changed her affections from Nagi to him. Or Third Love, technically, as Touta met a younger Eva before he was even born, due to time travel.
  • Shipper on Deck: Negi stops a battle to say he's pleased to know Kirie loves Touta.
  • Split Personality: Negi explains that there are windows of time when those that are possesed by Ialda can fully regain control of themselves, such as when Nagi saved him in spite of being possessed by the Mage of the Beginning; aside from that, there are other moments when his original personality resurfaces.
  • Star-Crossed Lovers: With Yukihime. Despite having feelings for each other, Negi prioritizes defeating the Life-Maker before any chance of happiness for himself. He doesn't realize how much he's making Yukihime suffer in the process until he's about to attempt a Taking You with Me spell in a last battle against the Life-Maker. The end result was Negi becoming the newest Life-Maker host and Yukihime promising to "save" him by killing him and then herself. While Negi does get freed in the Final Battle, he only has a few moments to hear Yukihime's last fords before she disintegrates. By the time of Yukihime's revival, Negi had long passed away..
  • Strong Family Resemblance: He resembles his father Nagi quite a bit now. Though he still has his innocent face from the previous series to make him distinct.
  • Suicide for Others' Happiness: Flashbacks reveal that after a series of tragedies, Eva was one of the only people left who Negi was close to, and they became closer still as time wore on. Negi, desiring her to have as happy a life as possible, eventually plots to sacrifice himself and save his father, so Eva can live a happy life with Nagi, because he knows she's in love with him. What he doesn't realize however, is that over the years, Eva grew to love Negi and that his sacrifice would make her utterly unhappy, especially because she can see that he doesn't care about his own happiness. Anyhow, Negi's suicide plan failed and Eva only got to watch another man she loved being possessed by the Lifemaker.
  • Supernaturally Young Parent: He's Touta's grandfather, yet looks only a few years older than him thanks to being an immortal.
  • Teacher/Student Romance: His wife in timeline A Prime was Chisame, one of his former students. He ends up in a polyamorous relationship with 6-7 of his former students at the end of UQ Holder.
  • Tragic Hero: He had to seal away his closest friend for the sake of his plan to save Mars, failed to save his father, lost his First Love and closest allies to the Life-Maker. In the aftermath, Negi emotionally, psychologically and morally falls apart. Over the decades that pass, Negi desperately tries his best to better the world and fight the unhappiness in the world, but grows more and more unhappy himself. With Asuna not around, Nodoka and Yue taken by Ialda, and Chisame dead, no one reminds an overworking Negi of his own happiness (and Eva does so too late), which leads to his final plan to attempt a Suicide Attack against Ialda to destroy her once and for all. The attempt failed and he became the puppet of the villain who took everything from him.
  • Uptown Guy: Negi is technically a prince from the Magic World on his mother's side. In the timeline A Prime, he marries Chisame who is a middle-class girl. In timeline A, it also applies to his relationship with Nodoka and Yue and eventually Eva (especially because Eva was originally a peasant).
  • Urban Legend Love Life: In the years since Negima, his reputation as a Chick Magnet evolved to the point that he's supposedly some type of sex god that can impregnate women with a single glance. Given that he had as many as 24 Pactio contracts by the end of Negima, this rumor might have some merit to it.Perhaps fittingly, he impregnates six of these women in the ending.
  • Worf Had the Flu: During his first attempt to defeat Nagi Ialda, he was suffering from magical poisoning the whole time. Negi hid it from his friends; the only one who knew about it was Chachamaru.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jack_rakan.jpg

The famous rival of Nagi Springfield, member of Ala Rubra, and all around nice guy. Jack Rakan is another returning cast member from the previous series. Though thought long dead from the last war, he makes a grand return, except this time opposing the heroes and fighting along side Negi-Ialda.


  • The Ace: Noted to be one of the characters good at pretty much anything, which could pose a problem considering his current choice of loyalty.
  • BFS: His artifact lets him use quite a number of them.
  • Blood Knight: Still shows his trademark love of fighting.
  • The Brute: Of the Life-Maker's faction.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Completely destroys the two Toutas that were trying to attack Negi.
  • The Giant: One of the largest guys in any scene with him in it.
  • Heroic Willpower: Can withstand an absurd amount of damage from sheer will.
  • I Have Many Names: Has a long list of titles under his belt.

    Ku:Nel Sanders 

Ku:Nel Sanders (real name: Albireo Imma)

Voiced by: Daisuke Ono (JP), David Wald (EN)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kunel_sanders.jpg

A powerful mage specializing in gravity magic. A member of Alba Rubra, and companion to Nagi Springfield, for unknown reasons he is on the side of a Negi-Ialda.


  • Cheshire Cat Grin: His completely untrustworthy smile hasn't gotten rusty over the years.
  • Ditto Fighter: His artifact allows him to do this.
  • Do Not Call Me "Paul": He refuses to be called anything other than "Ku:Nel Sanders".
  • The Dragon: Seems to be this for Negi-Ialda.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: Albireo was briefly seen in Nagumo's flashback in Chapter 24 before making his official return as one of the Life-Maker's minions over 100 chapters later.
  • Energy Ball: His gravity magic takes the form of this.
  • The Gadfly: His teasing nature remains, called a "fiend" by the very sword he created because of that trait.
  • Gravity Master: Probably one of the strongest characters around because of it.
  • Meaningful Name: Explains that he calls himself Ku:Nel, because the characters used can mean "to eat", and "to sleep", because that is what he does.
  • Necromancer: He knows Necromancy spells to get around Santa constantly walking through his gravity magic, though he admits he isn't as skilled as Sayoko.
  • Really 700 Years Old: One of the oldest characters in the series.
  • Red Baron: "The Man with a Thousand Faces"
  • Red Mage: Other than his gravity magic, he is also an expert in healing.
  • Stellar Name: His real name Albireo is the name of a binary star; which is two stars held in a constant orbit by their gravity. This alludes both to the character's use of gravity magic, as well as his ability to create a physical projection of himself.
  • Villain Takes an Interest: In Santa, exclaiming he's never seen an artificial revenant made with so much love.

Negi’s Ministra Magi

    In General 
  • Babies Ever After: At the end of the series they have all become Negi’s lovers and each have a child with him. With the exception of Asuna’s son, who very much looks like Negi when he was a kid, their children all look like younger versions of themselves.
  • Battle Harem: They are pretty much this.
  • Dwindling Party: Out of the 24 Ministra Magi that Negi had at the end of Negima, this group along with Chachamaru are the only ones that have survived up to the end of UQ Holder.
  • If It's You, It's Okay: Setsuna and Konoka were mostly portrayed as budding lesbians with only minor moments of attraction towards Negi in the original manga, however they fully embraced Negi as a lover sometime after Asuna’s unsealing and they are shown having had kids with him as seen in their final group shot in UQ Holder.
  • Older Than She Looks: As a whole none of them look like they’re older than their late teens or early twenties but by the end of the series prior to the epilogue, they are all over 140 years old. By the end of UQ Holder they all get de-aged back to the age they were prior to Negima’s epilogue making them look even younger than their actual age.
  • Polyamory: Not only are they all in a relationship with Negi but some of them are implied to have a thing for some of the other girls. In the original series ending, Konoka and Setsuna were implied to have been married so it’s likely that their relationship in UQ Holder is in a similar state.
  • Relationship Upgrade: Each one of them had varying levels of attraction towards Negi in the original series and they all end up as his lovers by the end of UQ Holder. Nodoka and Yue have both been noted to have formed formal Pactio contracts sometime before UQ Holder but it’s unclear if this applies to everyone else.

    Nodoka Miyazaki 

Nodoka Miyazaki

Voiced by: Mamiko Noto (JP), Sasha Paysinger (EN)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nodoka_miyazaki.jpg
Nodoka Miyazaki is one of the main female protagonists of Negima as well as a trusted ally of Negi Springfield. Her artifact gives her the ability to read anyone's mind and predict their movements.


  • Affectionate Nickname: Close friends of Nodoka call her Honya-chan (Bookstore), as she loved to read books and was part of the Library Exploration Group in school.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: She appears in a few scenes depicting the past before being introduced into the story.
  • Fighter, Mage, Thief: Sort of. Nodoka and Yue as Negi's formal partners mostly act as magical support with Nodoka being the mindreading Thief and Yue being the Mage, though Negi himself already is a Magic Knight.
  • Future Badass: Nodoka in this era far outshines the Nodoka in the previous series.
  • Graceful Loser: She along with Yue, congratulate Touta for managing to fend of their surprise attack and kill them in the process.
  • Half the Man He Used to Be: Gets bifurcated by Touta, who redirects the immortality nullifying attack meant for him, back to her. She's shown to be fine some time later.
  • Legendary in the Sequel: Is considered to be on the level of the likes of Rakan and Al in this setting.
  • The Magnificent: Nodoka the All-Perceiving.
  • Psychic Link: Shares one with Yue.
  • Shoot the Mage First: The proverbial mage, when Touta makes sure to take her (and Yue) out first, depriving Ialda's faction their most powerful telepath.
  • Smash Sisters: Nodoka and Yue fight together. They are extremely effective as a team and do not have to be protected by Negi, because they share perception and thus can do Non Chalant Dodges thanks to Nodoka's mindreading. Yue can also block or cancel most attacks and traps which allows both of them to No-Sell every plan Kuroumaru comes up with.
  • Took a Level in Badass: Being considered a "Legend-class Hero" is no small feat for a girl who started off with no magic affinity whatsoever.
  • Walking Spoiler: Did you think all those spoiler warnings were just for show?
  • Winged Humanoid: In Chapter 127, she's shown sprouting angel wings, though it's not clear if they're hers or perhaps part of an apparatus.

    Yue Ayase 

Yue Ayase

Voiced by: Natsuko Kuwatani (JP), Elissa Cuellar (EN)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yue_ayase.jpg

Yue Ayase is one of the main female protagonists in Negima, as well as a skilled (if underpowered) mage. Her artifact gives her access to an infinite amount of information and has no problems accessing highly sensitive data.


  • Casting a Shadow: Yue was known for using lightning magic in the previous series, here she uses shadow magic... Without the usual repercussions.
  • Close-Call Haircut: Yukihime's magic attack cuts Yue's pigtails. They're back the next moment we see her.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: She appears in a flew flashbacks as well as a video portraying the 2015 Ultimahora Tournament. She won alongside Ku Fei.
  • The Evil Genius: Of the Life-Maker's faction.
  • Fighter, Mage, Thief: Sort of. Nodoka and Yue as Negi's formal partners mostly act as magical support with Nodoka being the mindreading Thief and Yue being the Mage, though Negi himself already is a Magic Knight.
  • Flight: Yue appears to be able to fly on her own, something even Negi couldn't do until late in his own series.
  • Future Badass: It's almost difficult to believe that the Yue who was a normal girl at the start of Negima! and this Yue are the same person.
  • Graceful Loser: She along with Nodoka, congratulate Touta for managing to fend of their surprise attack and kill them in the process.
  • Hair Reboot: She gets her twintails cut off by Evangeline's attack, and her hair is completely back to normal a few pages later.
  • Half the Man He Used to Be: Gets bifurcated by Touta, who redirects the immortality nullifying attack meant for him, back to her. She's shown to be fine not long after.
  • "It" Is Dehumanizing: She explicitly refers to Touta as a tool meant for their use.
  • Legendary in the Sequel: Considered a legend on par with heroes like Rakan and Al.
  • The Magnificent: Yue the All-Knowing.
  • Psychic Link: Apparently has a linked consciousness with Nodoka and allowing her to use the latter's Telepathy.
  • Shoot the Mage First: The proverbial mage, when Touta makes sure to take her (and Nodoka) out first, depriving Ialda's faction their biggest source of magic based intel.
  • Shorter Means Smarter: Barely reaches Rakan's waist and plays the role of The Evil Genius.
  • Smash Sisters: Nodoka and Yue fight together as a team. They are extremely effective and do not have to be protected by Negi, because they share perception and thus can do Non Chalant Dodges thanks to Nodoka's mindreading. Yue can also block or cancel most attacks and traps which allows both of them to No-Sell every plan Kuroumaru comes up with.
  • The Stoic: Yue always seems to have that deadpan look on her face, even when Yukihime is threatening her life.
  • Took a Level in Badass: While it's not unprecedented that Yue would evolve as a mage over the years, she's now being considered an extreme threat on the level of Albireo and Rakan. She can also fly on her own it seems, which in Negima was very high level magic.
  • Walking Spoiler: Yue's presence in this story was highly unexpected, especially given her physical appearance and role as an antagonist.

    Spoiler Character 

Setsuna Sakurazaki

A skilled swordswoman and defender of Konoka Konoe. She was one of Negi's partners in the previous story.

  • Ambiguous Situation: Although this Setsuna appears among the Lifemaker's ranks, there's questions if she is the genuine article. Setsuna was first seen in the prologue chapter having aged to adulthood. This Setsuna still appears as a teenager despite it being over a century since the time of Negima!.

    Spoiler Character 

Konoka Konoe

A talented practicioner of healing magic and the partner of Setsuna Sakurazki. She was one of Negi's partners in the previous story.

  • Ambiguous Situation: Despite over a century passing between this story and the previous one, this Konoka appears as a teenager, while her contemporaries, Yue and Nodoka have their ages halted via their formal pactio with the immortal Negi. It's possible this one is a creation of the Lifemaker, as Konoka was first seen in the prologue chapter having aged to adulthood.

    Spoiler Character 

Chisame Hasegawa

The object of Negi's affections, skilled hacker, and all around snarker. She was one of Negi's partners in the previous story.

  • Ambiguous Situation: In Chisame's case, she was shown to have died in the past, which makes her reappearance all the more poignant. Is she a reanimated corpse? A creation of the Lifemaker? Or perhaps the real deal?

    Spoiler Character 

Asuna Kagurazaka (real name: Asuna Vesperina Theotanasia Entheofushia)

Voiced by: Akemi Kanda (JP), Luci Christian (EN)

A member of 3-A and Negi's first Minstra Magi.
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/asunakagurazaka.jpg

  • Fusion Dance: This Asuna would fuse with the version that represents her life as a student and spend the rest of her life as a normal human.
  • Literal Split Personality: This Asuna represents her status as the Twilight Imperial Princess and carries the bulk of her power as a result.

    Cutlass 

Cutlass (real name: Tena Vita)

Voiced by: Rena Maeda (JP), Margaret McDonald (EN)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cutlass.jpg

A strange girl that appears from nowhere with the intent to kill Touta. Strangely, she calls Negi "Grandfather" and Touta "Brother". She is one of the Mage of the Beginning's underlings.


  • Adaptational Early Appearance: In the anime, Cutlass makes an appearance much earlier than her original introduction in the manga, as she bumps into Touta when he's about to face Fate. It turns out she was acting as a message deliverer for the possessed Negi.
  • Anti-Magic: She's able to wield Asuna's artifact, known for magic nullification.
  • Arc Villain: She acts as the villain of her own mini arc where she infiltrates the UQ Holder HQ and launches a terrorist attack at the Space Elevator for the Numbers to stop it. The arc ends with Cutlass being killed by Yukihime.
  • An Arm and a Leg: She's missing her left arm and right leg. She uses Artificial Limbs to compensate.
  • Artificial Family Member: She's another clone made from Negi's and Asuna's genetic material, making her their "granddaughter" and Touta's "sister".
  • Artificial Human: Like Touta, she is implied to be one of the 72 clones of Negi and Asuna as she can wield a copy of the Ensis Exorcizans.
  • Artificial Limbs: Her left arm and right leg are mechanical.
  • Ax-Crazy: One of the most twisted and bloodthirsty characters in the series, to put it mildly.
  • Berserk Button: Being compared to the immortals of UQ Holder really pisses her off.
  • Beta Test Baddie: She's infuriated by the fact she was a failed clone and wants to make her "brother" Touta's life hell because he turned out better than her.
  • BFS: A copy of Asuna's Ensis Exorcizans, which can cancel out all magic.
  • Break Them by Talking: She tries to break Touta's spirit by telling him that his origins as a defective clone make him nothing but a failure that won't ever accomplish anything. Afterwards, her words clearly had an impact on him.
  • Cain and Abel: She has this dynamic with Touta, with her as the Cain, because being clones of the same person essentially makes them siblings and she hates him enough to desire his death.
  • Captured on Purpose: She lets herself get captured by UQ Holder so she can destroy Kirie's save point, preventing them from stopping nuclear attacks on the tower.
  • Child Soldier: A flashback reveals Fate used her as one as part of his plan to create an army of immortal soldiers.
  • Clone Angst: She knows she's an inferior clone to Touta and isn't really happy about it.
  • Clone Degeneration: More so than Touta given that he is stated to be the only successful clone of Negi and Asuna.
  • Dark Action Girl: She's sadistic, psychotic, purely evil and utterly destroys Touta the first time she appears.
  • Dual Wielding: Wields the Ensis Exorcizans in one hand with a smaller sword in the other.
  • Eat the Rich: While she is loyal to the Mage of the Beginning and is fighting for her cause, she also wants to make everyone who was blessed or privileged suffer beforehand.
  • Evil Is Petty: She admits that she destroyed Kirie's Save Point and forced a Sadistic Choice on Touta in order to see the look on his face.
  • Foil: To her "brother" Touta. Both are clones from Negi and Asuna, however, Touta is the succesful one whereas she is one of the failed ones. Personality-wise, Touta is an All-Loving Idiot Hero who wants to do what's right and keep innocents safe, whereas she is a ruthless and pragmatic fighter who has no problem with killing innocents to achieve her goal.
  • Friendly Enemy: Defied, she actually calls out her boss for doing so.
    Cutlass: Surely you jest Negi-sama, these people are our enemies.
  • Given Name Reveal: Gengoro's analysis reveals her real name is Tena Vita.
  • In the Hood: Wears a hooded cloak to disguise herself. As soon as Touta knocks it off, he realizes that she's a girl.
  • Kick the Dog:
    • She blows up a whole shopping centre a year before the magic tournament to blackmail Touta into participating else she repeats the act across Neo-Tokyo.
    • While ripping out Kirie's teeth can be understood considering that she had hidden cyanide pills within them and her power activates at her death, she didn't need to gloat about it to Touta while he was already pinned nor lecture him.
  • Killing Intent: Managed to bring Touta to his knees using only this.
  • Knight of Cerebus: Almost every scene that features her is completely devoid of any sense of comedy and whenever she appears it always involves a confrontation. She also holds the dubious honor of being the first character killed onscreen in a Ken Akamatsu story outside of a flashback.
  • Literally Shattered Lives: When she tries to kill Kirie, Yukihime freezes her solid and shatters her into countless pieces.
  • Mad Bomber: She likes to blow up places full of innocent people just to see Touta despair over it. Casualties were undone by Kirie's reset, though.
  • Massive Numbered Siblings: She's just one of dozens of failed Negi/Asuna clone experiments.
  • Mix And Match Person: She's one of the many failed clones created from the combined genetic material of Negi and Asuna.
  • Moment Killer: She interrupts Kirie's confession to Touta by stabbing her.
  • Multi-Armed and Dangerous: She can grow extra arms out of her back.
  • Mythology Gag: She has the same artifact as Koyomi before her.
  • No-Nonsense Nemesis: Prominently when she stabs Kirie after she had been forced to confess to Touta, cutting the light-hearted atmosphere of the previous scene.
  • Obviously Evil: Her grim demeanor and constant scowl give her away as a definite villain.
  • One-Winged Angel: She can grow extra arms and Gengorou states she has three extra forms after that.
  • Pet the Dog: When infiltrating the UQ Holder compound, she gets an odd fit of softness when she hands back a ball to a kid and pats his head, warning him to be careful. Of course, Gengorou interrupted her before she could try anything else; she might have been about to pull a Bait the Dog.
  • Psycho Supporter: She's the only member of Ialda's group who isn't a mind-controlled puppet. Instead, she sides with Ialda because she's nuts and murderous.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech:
    • She taunts Touta about being just a copy of Negi.
    • Later on, she gives him one for being weak enough that he can't even save a girl who confesses to him, while claiming that he's basically selfish for only wanting to save those he calls friends while leaving the rest to die.
  • The Resenter: Most likely the reason for her hatred towards Touta stems from the fact that he is the only successful clone of Negi and Asuna and thus can wield Magia Erebea and Magic Cancel in tandem whereas she is a failed one.
  • Sadist: She only ever shows happiness when hurting others and blushes when she forces Touta to choose between saving a thousand or a million people.
  • They Call Him "Sword": Strange in that she doesn't actually use a cutlass. This is just an alias, however.
  • Time Stands Still: Her Artifact has the power to freeze time. She can also activate it faster than Touta and Kirie, who have the same power but need to kiss to activate it.
  • Token Evil Teammate: To the Ialda's faction. Whereas Negi and the rest are merely Brainwashed and Crazy, she stands out for being the only one with explicit desire to kill, has no remorse in killing civilians and is completely antagonistic with those that stand on their way.
  • Underestimating Badassery: Thinks she can make short work of the UQ compound, since Yukihime has left. She then gets a first hand lesson on why Jinbei and Gengorou are considered higher ranked among the Numbers.
  • Villain Reveals the Secret: She's the one who reveals to Touta that he's an imperfect clone of Negi, all while she's trying to kill him.
  • The Worf Effect: After inflicting this on Touta several times before, she gets to subjected to this when she fights Gengorou and Jinbei and loses.
  • Would Hurt a Child: She has no compunction of killing children, stating that she was used to seeing them drop dead before.
  • You Are Number 6: Amater Magic Laboratory Immortal Experiment 17.
