The Organization (Touta Konoe, Touta's Ministra Magi, Yukihime) | Earth | The Life-Maker's Apostles | Inverse Mars and Inverse Venus

UQ Holder (The Organization)

Founded years before the start of the series by Yukihime as a society for immortals and non-humans like herself to gather, socialize, and aid one another. Their name is a pun in Japanese for "eternity holder" referencing their composition. The rank-and-file are modeled after Yakuza and made up mostly of Yōkai, while above them are the "Numbers", people who have the most powerful abilities and fullest degrees of immortality. While they don't necessarily work for free they seek to aid those who have no other options and work against the fear humans have of immortals by seeking out those that would harm humanity. When not on field work, they front as the staff of the resort inn Fairyland Hall. Forms the backbone of the story so far and includes all the main cast.

The Numbers and UQ Holder in General

• 11th-Hour Ranger: Nikitis, Juzo, and Sept don't even appear until the manga is a couple of arcs away from the final battle with the Lifemaker. Considering the three are the most powerful members after Yukihime, them joining the team earlier would have only hurt the tension even more.
• Badass Crew: As a group of immortal fighters led by a famed vampire sorceress, they certainly qualify.
• Early-Bird Cameo: Yukihime's speech about the different kinds of immortality in Chapter 6 is accompanied with images of the other Numbers of UQ Holder gradually introduced in the next 160 chapters.
• Fantasy Kitchen Sink: The immortals that comprise the Numbers come from radically different backgrounds: three vampires, a light spirit, two immortal samurai, a holy magic user whose body can't bleed or be injured, two with different types of Resurrective Immortality, a demihuman born with No Biological Sex, a cyborg, and a ghost.
• Numerical Theme Naming: Several of the Numbers' names include the kanji of a number.
  • (I)kku = 1
  • (Ni)kitis = 2
  • (San)ta = 3
  • Gen(go)rou = 5
  • Sept (Shichi)juurou (Nana)o = 7
  • (Ku)roumaru = 9
  • (Juu)zou = 10
• Old Hero, New Pals: Best shown in the opening pages, Yukihime outlives her friends in 3-A, literally and figuratively leaving them behind, as she moves forward, she finds the Numbers happily greeting her.
• Party Scattering: The Time Skip arc shows, in the aftermath of the Orbital Ring Attack, Touta becomes a World Tree to save the world. In the battle against Ialda, 2 years later, Karin is flung from the solar system and Yukihime is stuck on Pluto, holding back Ialda. Later, Ikku is brainwashed by the villains, Santa is sealed away in a statue for his own safety after nearly being exorcised by the villains, and Kirie is Trapped in Another World. The rest bide their time, waiting for Touta, by hiding in the rift. Once Touta returns, they immediately set to Putting the Band Back Together.
• Society of Immortals: The purpose of the organization is gathering different kinds of immortals to make them work together and protect mankind.
• We Help the Helpless: As Karin put it:
  "We, UQ Holder, as a faction of humans who are not bound by the ways of humans, have always been protecting those who have been ejected, trampled on and forgotten by the world of humans."

The Numbers

UQ Holder No. 1 - Yukihime

See this separate Character page

UQ Holder No. 2 - Jinbei Shishido

Jinbei Shishido

Voiced by: Shunsuke Sakuya (JP), Jay Hickman (EN)

Second in rank to Yukihime. After eating the flesh of a merperson, he ceased aging, but lacks any kind of high level regeneration or enhanced durability.

---

• The Ageless: His form of immortality mainly stops him from aging.
• Bare-Fisted Monk: He fights with his fists. According to him, he picked up kenpo, after putting down his katana, in accordance with the Meiji era Japan's policy on sword ownership.
• Battle Strip: When showing the power of the Gravity Blade to Touta, Jinbei takes off his robe just to provide a Shirtless Scene.
• Been There, Shaped History: He's shown to have participated in many of history's major conflicts.
• Brilliant, but Lazy: Despite having one of the weakest immortality factors of the group, he is also known to be one of the strongest and most experienced fighters. However, Yukihime tells Touta that he really can't rely on Jinbei's help, because he's lazy as hell, and while he is strong, she recommends Juuzou to Touta, if he is looking for strength.
• Cool Old Guy: He's cool, laid-back and badass and he's fourteen hundred years old.
• Covered in Scars: Because his regeneration is very weak, he takes injuries and scars like a normal person, leaving him a mess of nasty injuries.
• Die or Fly: He activated Switcheroo to save himself from the detonation of the bombing of Hiroshima, an act that Juuzou equates to an "awakening".
• Don't Call Me "Sir": Gengorou admires Jinbei and calls him his master. Jinbei really doesn't like being called that.
• Empowered Badass Normal: Mermaid flesh only granted Jinbei basic agelessness and a considerably weak Healing Factor. It's heavily implied that he got as strong as he did through fourteen-hundred years of constant warfare. He only started using his Switcheroo ability at the end of World War II.
• Face Fault: He does one when Touta easily pulls out the Gravity Blade because he saw the "heavy <-> light" switch on the sword hilt.
• Healing Factor: He has one, but it's weak compared to that of Touta and Kuroumaru. While he can reattach severed limbs, he cannot regenerate them if they're destroyed.
• Hero of Another Story: He has fought in all the major wars of the past millennium and it's hinted that he had countless adventures throughout his very long life, but we only get to hear vague comments on it.
• Lazy Bum: He hates working and would choose to withdraw or give up before fighting seriously.
• Losing Your Head: Despite it being assumed decapitation is deadly for him, Cutlass finds out firsthand that's not enough to finish him off. Jinbei does state he probably won't survive if his head is smashed.
• Mundane Utility: His Switcheroo power can and is used for more mundane things, like pickpocketing Kuroumaru's food rations.
• Not Afraid to Die: Because he already lived for so long and he has no attachments to the world, he wouldn't mind being killed in a fight that seems unwinnable.
• Number Two: He's UQ Holder's official second-in-command, right after Yukihime.
• Old Soldier: He's a war veteran with over a thousand years of experience under his belt and it shows in the rare occasions he decides to fight seriously.
• The Older Immortal: He's one of the oldest known characters in the universe. Karin and pure-blooded High Daylight Walkers like Dana are the only ones explicitly confirmed to have lived longer than him.
• Really 700 Years Old: He's fourteen hundred years old while still looking like he's in his thirties.
• Retcon: During his fight with Juuzou, it's stated that Jinbei's Switcheroo first activated when he teleported himself out of Hiroshima right before it was bombed at the end of World War II. However, a few chapters before that, Jinbei was shown using Switcheroo in Karin's flashback from 600 years ago when he teleported himself, Karin and Evangeline away from the High Daylight Walker Ba'al.
• Reused Character Design: After a shave, he turns into an older-looking Negi and Nagi Springfield.
• Rōnin: He was a ronin samurai back in the day.
• Scars Are Forever: He has a lot of scars as a testament to his weaker Healing Factor.
• Shipper on Deck: He joins everyone of UQ Holder in trying to hook up Kirie with Touta.
• Space Master: His unique ability, dubbed "Switcheroo", allows him to switch two individuals' places in a radius of 300 meters. Later chapters show that this is merely a taste of the applications of his power. Jinbei reveals in Chapter 113 that the true extent of his ability is akin to a being from the fourth dimension moving pieces of the third dimension.
• Spell My Name With An S: The furigana puts his name as "Jinbee", and different translations used "Jinbe", but it seems Jinbei is the accepted romanisation.
• Story-Breaker Power: Once the mechanics of his Switcheroo are fully explained, it becomes one of the most overpowered abilities in the entire series, as Jinbei can teleport in large objects and even create spacial tears to negate otherwise lethal attacks, which comes in handy against Juuzou's own absurdly broken ability to cut all in existence.
• Teleportation: His power is Switcheroo, allowing him to swap objects. He used it to move an entire building's worth of people at one point.
• Thrill Seeker: Vasago reveals that Jinbei got involved in many wars throughout history, fighting alongside humans who would eventually die out while he keeps on living and constantly giving himself scars that he wouldn't have suffered otherwise. Jinbei's explanation is that he doesn't like sitting back and watching history unfold, when he can be on the frontlines with his comrades-in-arms.

UQ Holder No. 3 - Sept Shichijuurou Nanao

Sept Shichijuurou Nanao

At your service

A light spirit that originally served Yukihime's old enemy, Ba'al. He worked for UQ Holder until the revival of his master caused him to turn back into an enemy.

---

• Apologetic Attacker: Sept has no desire to fight his fellow UQ Numbers, but he has no choice. His creator's orders take precedence over all, even his own feelings. As such, he profusely apologize for harming them and explains the nature of his power in earnest.
• Artificial Human: He's an artificial light spirit created by Ba'al.
• Attractive Bent-Gender: Kuromaru expresses some jealousy that Sept's female form is quite gorgeous.
• Battle Butler: Sept is introduced as a formidable fighter, and is later revealed to be one hell of a butler, able to cook a sumptuous feast and to organize it perfectly.
• Benevolent Genie: He is a genie, wish granting of course included, and loves to please people.
• Blindfolded Vision: Sept first appears in the present wearing a blindfold.
• Born of Magic: He was created from unknown magical means.
• The Dragon: Ba'al created him to be his most powerful and loyal servant. Evangeline recruited him after sealing his master, but as soon as he is freed, he has no choice but to obey. Now Evangeline and Dana have bound him to Evangeline.
• Dual Wielding: He wields a blade in each hand. And about eight others levitating around him.
• Early Installment Character-Design Difference: In the manga's opening pages, he's seen wearing only a buttoned shirt and slacks. His introduction in Chachazero's recording has him in a dark overcoat.
• Elemental Shapeshifter: He can transform his body into light and move at light speed. However, he loses all his mass and density while doing so, impeding his attacks in that state.
• Energy Weapon: He can unleash a barrage of devastating beams last, too fast to dodge. Kirie finds a way around it.
• Gender Bender: Yukihime can use magic to change Sept's gender at will.
• Hammerspace: He owns the legendary Tablecloth of the North, which contains a Pocket Dimension with a fully functional kitchen, from which he conjures the food made inside, among others...
• Hard Light: Sept can create objects from the stuff, and control them telekinetically. However, Sept himself loses his mass when he moves at the speed of light.
• Heel–Face Turn: He had a first in the past, when Evangeline recruited him after sealing Ba'al away. Ba'al's defeat after the UQ Holder VS UQ Holder Arc cements it as permanent.
• Laser Blade: Sept can create several made of Hard Light, and either wield them or make them float around him.
• Light 'em Up: He is made of the stuff and can control it.
• Light Is Good: Sept is a benevolent light spirit. Even when he's forced to work for a bad guy, he clearly doesn't enjoy it.
• Long-Haired Pretty Boy: He's quite the Bishōnen and has extremely long straight hair just to look prettier.
• Lucky Seven: He is named and made around the stuff, being a powerful, wish-granting genie.
• Magic Knight: Be it with swords or with his powers, Sept can dish out nasty punishment.
• Magic Wand: Sept uses one to grant wishes.
• Master Swordsman: He wields a sword similar to that of his master's (or Laser Blades), with enormous skills.
• Meaningful Name: His name refers to the Lucky Seven, reflecting his nature as a Benevolent Genie.
• Mundane Utility: He can use his light speed to fight... And to cook a feast in record time.
• My Master, Right or Wrong: He betrays UQ Holder after Ba'al returns because he can't disobey the orders of his creator.
• Nice Guy: Courteous, respectful, amiable, friendly, he likes to serve to the best of his abilities. Even as an enemy, he bears you zero ill will.
• Noble Top Enforcer: Even though Sept was created to be the unquestionably loyal servant of the sadistic maniac Ba'al, Sept is one of the nicest characters in the series and hates every second of being forced to fight the Numbers by his master.
• Otherworldly and Sexually Ambiguous: As a magical spirit/genie, Sept has no gender and is very androgynous in appearance.
• Really 700 Years Old: He was around 600 years ago and looking as young as he does in the present.
• Repetitive Name: In a sense. The word "Seven" is in every part of his name, just in different languages.
• Self-Duplication: Sept has the ability to split into duplicates.
• Seven Is Nana: The nana in Nanao means seven. In fact, his entire name is made up of the word "Seven" in various languages.
• Shipper on Deck: Sept wants Kuroumaru, Karin, and Kirie to get more intimate with Touta. Sept even makes the three girls bath an unconscious Touta so they all get their naked time with him.
• Sobriquet Sex Switch: With Yukihime's magic, Sept turns into a stacked woman named "Sepko".
• The Stoic: He rarely changes his facial expression.
• Super-Speed: He has light-based powers, he was bound to have it.
• Supreme Chef: Sept can cook a five stars meal... At light speed.

UQ Holder No. 4 - Karin Yuuki

See this separate Character page

UQ Holder No. 5 - Juuzou Shishimi

Juuzou Shishimi

A man described as the second strongest member of UQ Holder after Yukihime. He learnt swordsmanship under Jinbei. After spending centuries perfecting his skills with the sword, there is nothing in existence his sword cannot pierce through.

---

• Absurdly Sharp Blade: After over 800 years of perfecting his swordsmanship skills, Juuzou learnt to cut through everything with his sword, from all matter to spirits and concepts. Even Karin can be cut by his blade.
• Animal Battle Aura: He generates one that looks like a panther to give his enemies a warning of how incredibly dangerous he is.
• Beyond the Impossible: This describes Juuzou's abilities in a nutshell. His swordsmanship defies the laws of reality itself, making him able to cut Karin's limbs when that's supposed to be impossible.
• Blood Knight: He just loves cutting. He betrayed UQ Holder because he wanted Jinbei to fight him without holding back.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: Downplayed. Ba'al's Puppeteer Parasite keeps his personality intact, but turns him into an Unfettered Blood Knight who only cares about fighting and doesn't let him think about anything other than killing all of UQ Holder.
• Broken Ace: He's the best swordsman in UQ Holder and surely the entire world, but deep down he is wracked by self-loathing, calling himself pathetic.
• Charles Atlas Superpower: He somehow developed the ability to cut anything in existence, including spirits and concepts, after he trained himself in swordsmanship for 800 years.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: His first official appearance has him utterly defeat and maim all the Numbers but Touta and Yukihime.
• Heel–Face Turn: He rejoins UQ Holder after Jinbei gets rid of the Puppeteer Parasite Ba'al was using to control him.
• I Just Want to Be Badass: His only goal is becoming the strongest so he can cut anyone in his path. Though Jinbe reveals that he has been lashing out in grief and resentment for the last eight hundred years of existence, due to the death of his family and the suffering he was exposed to.
• Immortality Begins at Twenty: He unknowingly swallowed an elixir of life pill when he was a kid. His body still ages up to a young adult, although at slow rate. The epilogue set 12 thousand years later shows that his body remains the same.
• Implacable Man: Nothing can stop Juuzou from cutting everything and everyone in his path, not even Karin's divine class Complete Immortality.
• Inexplicably Awesome: He's an immortal swordsman who can cut anything that exists, no matter how illogical or outright impossible it should be. And why can he do that? He had nothing better to do than swinging a sword for some centuries. No, there's no more explanation than that.
• Malevolent Masked Man: He finally shows up wearing an evil-looking mask, just to give a warning that he's under the bad guy's control.
• Master Swordsman: He's stated to be the absolute best swordsman in the entire UQ Holder organization. With his ability to cut literally anything, he might be the most powerful swordmaster that ever existed in The 'Verse.
• My God, What Have I Done?: Having seemingly killed his master leaves him in one hell of a Heroic BSoD.
• No-Sell: He can ignore literally any defense to cut down his opponents, including Gengorou's Mercy Invincibility and Karin's Retconjuration-based immortality.
• One-Man Army: He can take on all the Numbers at once like it's nothing.
• Plant Person: His Healing Factor takes the form of vines and tree branches, due to him taking the pill of the Fusang tree.
• Poor Communication Kills: Jinbei calls him out on never having a heart to heart talk for the eight hundred years they knew each other, needing to be under More than Mind Control to spit it out.
• A Pupil of Mine Until He Turned to Evil: He was Jinbei's disciple very long ago. Juuzou wanted to defeat Jinbei so badly that it is used by an evil High Daylight Walker to control him.
• Puppeteer Parasite: Ba'al attached a demonic parasite to his body. It lets Juuzou keep his free will unless he attempts to back off from killing all the Numbers.
• Really 700 Years Old: While he looks like a young man, he has lived for over 800 years at the very least.
• Reused Character Design: His facial features greatly resemble that of an unmasked Dynamis.
• Semantic Superpower: Juuzou's blade can "cut" anything, including concepts. For example, he cuts the word "apple" from Touta's and Nikitis' vocabulary to make them forget what an apple is.
• Shipper on Deck: Aware of Kuromaru's feelings for Touta, he pushes her to go to Touta's side upon meeting him again after 45 years of separation.
• Story-Breaker Power: According to Juuzou himself, there isn't anything physical or nonphysical he can't cut with his sword. To showcase, he's able to dismember Karin despite her immortality being supposed to immediately retcon away all damage. He can also cut nanomachines that a brainwashed Ikkuu uses to negate immortals' regenerative abilities.
• Touch the Intangible: He can cut ghosts like Santa and any kind of intangible magic or ability.
• The Unfettered: Ba'al's Puppeteer Parasite removes all his inhibitions and moral compass so he can think of nothing but killing all the Numbers.
• Victory Is Boring: For centuries, Juuzou has been obsessing with becoming strong enough to beat Jinbei. When it looks like he killed him, Juuzou begins to despair, never wanting to kill him and believing himself unworthy of it.
• When He Smiles: Touta expresses surprise to see him smiles, when he congratulates him in earnest after Ba'al's defeat.

UQ Holder No. 6 - Gengorou Makabe

Gengorou Makabe

Voiced by: Yūki Kaji (JP), Houston Hayes (EN)

A man with a video game-related immortality similar to Kirie, except without the time resets.

---

• Arc Hero: Gengorou gets a good amount of spotlight during Cutlass' terrorist attack arc, playing a bit as Touta's older and more jaded Foil. At the end, Gengorou also ends up saving the day by sacrificing all his lives to stop the bomb, although he still survives.
• Auto-Revive: His immortality gives him the power to respawn a new body every time he dies.
• Deadpan Snarker: Touta calls him out on how everything he says is sarcastic.
• Death-Activated Superpower: Similar to Kirie, Gengorou has the power to spawn out a new body whenever he's killed.
• Defeat Means Friendship: According to Cutlass' intel, Gengorou was defeated by Jinbei in the past and they became sworn friends afterwards. Gengorou insists Jinbei is his master, though.
• Fire-Forged Friends: With Touta in the Cutlass arc. While they initially got on each others nerves due to their opposing stances, they eventually come to respect one another by the end. To the point that he's the first of the Numbers to come to Touta's rescue after the Time Skip
• Fish out of Temporal Water: Not only did he come from an alternate Earth, he was also sent further in time from when he left.
• Full-Frontal Assault: Not by choice, mind you. Clothes do not respawn along with him, so he has to fight while wearing nothing. He doesn't seem to care all that much.
• Hero-Worshipper: He has a great respect and admiration to Jinbei, calling him his master.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Subverted. Gengorou uses up all his Video-Game Lives in order to contain Cutlass's terrorist bomb. When Touta thinks he died for real, Gengorou returns alive and well. Turns out Gengorou gains a life every time he does a good deed, and stopping a terrorist attack counts more than enough.
• Mercy Invincibility: In true videogame fashion, every time Gengorou respawns, his new body is immune to all damage for exactly three seconds (complete with a timer).
• Mr. Fanservice: Gengorou is among the most handsome men in the manga and his form of immortality lets the reader see a lot of his naked body.
• Naked on Revival: Every time he's killed, he respawns a new, completely naked body.
• New Life in Another World Bonus: Having being killed in his own world, he was reborn in the UQ world with his Resurrective Immortality and Stat-O-Vision, being his bonuses.
• Out of Focus: Perhaps the worst victim of this among the UQ Holder members. Gengorou gets the least attention out of the immortals introduced early on and there isn't anything established about him after 100+ chapters. Cutlass' infiltration arc did give him some spotlight, but that was it.
• Resurrective Immortality: Gengorou has an immortality that revives him every time he's killed.
• Shameless Fanservice Guy: He has no problem with fighting in the nude.
• Specs of Awesome: He's a bespectacled immortal with Video-Game Lives.
• Spiky Hair: He has messy, spiky hair. Touta called him a sea urchin head once.
• Stoic Spectacles: He wears glasses and is a serious, cool-headed man.
• Sword and Gun: His fighting style consists in using both swords and guns.
• Undying Loyalty: Completely loyal to Jinbei, though the latter would prefer if he wasn't at times.
• Video-Game Lives: The theme of his immortality. He has a set of extra lives that go down when he's killed and go up when he does a good deed. Whenever Gengorou is killed, he respawns with a brand-new body.

UQ Holder No. 7 - Touta Konoe

See his separate Character page.

UQ Holder No. 8 - Nikitis Laps

Nikitis Laps, UQ Holder No. 8

A pure-blooded High Daylight Walker currently in charge of the underground library of Amano-Mihashira Academy City.

---

• Action Fashionista: Nikitis is a High Daylight Walker who likes to dress up like rock stars from The '50s and tries to get Touta to do the same after teaching him about Instant Costume Change.
• Affectionate Parody: Of the Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy and the Stock Shōnen Rival, clearly not meant to be taken too seriously.
• Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Nikitis is obscenely powerful, he knows it, and he won't stop rubbing it in the face of "inferior" species. Equal? He has not and is outraged that the mere thought could enter your puny mind.
• Attention Whore: How dare you not pay attention to him and him alone? Especially when he is busy demonstrating how awesome he is?
• Badass Longcoat: He wears a long coat with quite some style.
• Big Ego, Hidden Depths: Touta doesn't buy his high and mighty, cynical and scornful facade, calling him out for refusing to admit that he admires the humans he derides as monkeys. And he is right.
• Bookworm: He really likes reading books. He enjoys the Akashic Skywheel so much because it has a gigantic library and he hasn't read even 1% of its books after 20 years.
• Brutal Honesty: When asked why he goes through the trouble of training Touta and giving him valuable information, Nikitis responds bluntly that it's all because he doesn't like Touta.
• The Captain: He makes himself the captain of the Akashic Skywheel, the Cool Airship that UQ Holder finds during the 45-year Time Skip.
• Chewing the Scenery: This boy is stranger to the concept of "measure".
• Comical Overreacting: Especially when dissed or one-upped.
• Crazy-Prepared: He had a World Tree seed secretly planted in Touta as a contingency against Fate. It's with this, Touta was able save humanity by holding together the collapsing orbital ring by becoming a World Tree.
• Curtains Match the Window: His hair and eyes are both yellow.
• Cute Bruiser: A rather cute kid, at least when he is not busy boasting, and a god-tier fighter.
• Cynical Mentor: While he teaches and trains Touta to give him full mastery over Magia Erebea, Nikitis finds Touta's carefree, simple-minded personality annoying and berates the childishness of his goal to save the world from the Life-Maker for Yukihime's sake.
• Disco Dan: His tastes in clothing are inspired by music stars from the late 20th century like Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. Touta points out Nikitis's fashion sense is several decades behind.
• Eccentric Mentor: He has the same frivolous aesthetic sense as Dana and he also tries to drill it into Touta while mentoring him. For example, he instructs Touta to go into Magia Erebea mode while dressed like Elvis Presley.
• Energy Ball: One of his forms of offence.
• Fantastic Racism:
  • Subverted. Nikitis claims that he only sees humans as lowly monkeys that are no different now as back when they were cavemen while the society of the High Daylight Walkers were highly advanced in Venus. Touta figures out Nikitis doesn't really mean that and he actually admires humanity.
  • He seems to have a more genuine contempt towards Artificial Humans as he insults Touta and Fate for being "lowly homunculi".
• Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: He comes across as a haughty Jerkass for the most part, but ultimately, Touta concludes Nikitis is a good guy at heart and that condescending High Daylight Walker behavior is a front to conceal his better intentions.
• Full-Name Basis: He addresses everyone by their full name.
• Good All Along: It's made look like Nikitis is siding with Ba'al at first, but he trains Touta to make him strong enough to beat Fate, which is definitely not favorable for Ba'al's plans. At the end of the fight, Nikitis helps taking the evil High Daylight Walker down after being revealed that apparently, he was planning to turn on Ba'al all along.
• Hand Blasts: How he fires his ki blasts.
• Hidden Heart of Gold: His heart is in the right place, but he is far too proud to even admit it and hides it behind abrasive taunts.
• Hypnotic Eyes: His eyes have some sort of hypnotic effect that he uses on Kuroumaru to dispel any suspicions that he might have an ulterior motive for training Touta.
• Identical Stranger: Nikitis looks a lot like Fate with blond hair, something Touta points out. Nikitis also knows it and finds it disgusting that a "lowly homunculus" looks just like him.
• Instant Costume Change: He can instantly change his clothes at will. This trick has no uses other than to make him look flashy.
• Intrigued by Humanity: His insults about humanity hide his affection for pop culture and a genuine admiration for the species as a whole.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's an arrogant and obnoxious egomaniac who refers to everyone else as "inferior lifeforms". In the end, Touta can see past Nikitis' prickish demeanor and determine that he's really a good guy who appreciates humanity and wants to protect it, leading Touta to befriend Nikitis.
• Kamehame Hadoken: A devastating attack of his, which he compares to a nuke. He fires it with the exact same stance than both trope namers.
• Ki Manipulation: He can fire devastating blasts of ki, and boost his moves with it.
• Large Ham: Bombastic as hell and doing anything as flashy and over-the-top as he can.
• Magic Librarian: Nikitis has taken over the position of Library Island's librarian after Albireo became the Life-Maker's puppet.
• Mr. Exposition: Nikitis gives Touta a detailed explanation of how his immortality works by using the Black of Venus to extract energy from the solar system. He also tells him about the origin of the High Daylight Walkers and the Demon World that is actually Inverse Venus.
• Narcissist: Nikitis won't ever stop boasting about how he's the most awesome thing ever and fully expects everyone to immediately kiss the ground he walks on. Should one dare to point the spotlight at someone else, all hell breaks loose.
• Not So Similar: Despite their similar appearances, Nikitis and Fate are different as night and day. Fate is The Stoic, Nikitis is a Large Ham. Fate tends to wear simple white suits, Nikitis wears a dark colored coat and as an Action Fashionista, has a tendency for gaudiness. Fate tends to construct projectiles in battle, Nikitis tends to summon gigantic demon constructs in battle. Fate plans to give immortality to all of humanity, Nikitis, being descended from a race that destroyed themselves over constant wars over immortality, strongly opposes that plan.
• Odd Name Out: He's the only known High Daylight Walker who doesn't have the name of a deity. His first name fits into the Numbers' Numerical Theme Naming, though.
• Overshadowed by Awesome: Being a High Daylight Walker, Nikitis is one of the most ancient and powerful members of UQ Holder. Too bad for him that he doesn't really get a chance to shine on his own when in his team there's The Hero with Magia Erebea and Magic Cancel, the Dark Evangel, a living immortal-slaying sword, a Space Master, and a guy who can literally cut anything from nanomachines to concepts. Most of the action scenes have other Numbers getting a jump on Nikitis and beating the enemies before he can even try to show some of his moves, leaving him frustrated that others keep stealing his thunder.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Nikitis has the size of a eleven-year-old at most, and the power of a god.
• Pop-Cultured Badass: An overpowered High Daylight Walker who masters the Kame Hame Ha. Not only does he worships rock stars like Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson as much as he worships himself, but he loves novels of all sorts.
  Evangeline: "He likes books. And not just any books - novels. He's a pop-culture fanboy."
• Pride: This defines his entire character. In Nikitis's mind, there isn't and won't ever be anyone more awesome than him. Equal isn't even a word in his vocabulary.
• Reused Character Design: He looks just like a blond Fate Averruncus and by extension, Zero from A.I. Love You who was the first character of Ken Akamatsu to have this design. Touta and Nikitis himself acknowledge Nikitis' resemblance to Fate and Nikitis doesn't like it. Their personalities are polar opposites, though; see Not So Similar above.
• Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids!: He hammers this mindset to Touta, who is not fooled for a minute, accuses him of putting a cynical show for the sake of appearances and retorts as expected with Silly Rabbit, Cynicism Is for Losers!.
• Smug Super: As a High Daylight Walker, Nikitis is immensely arrogant, looks down on everyone as if they were insects, and demands to be addressed as Nikitis"-sama".
• Stock Shōnen Rival: His behavior is an exaggerated take on the archetype, but he's fundamentally a subversion. Nikitis has everything to be the Stock Shōnen Hero's Privileged Rival: aloof, incredibly arrogant, treats everyone as his inferior, supremely powerful, and a real High Daylight Walker in contrast to the Idiot Hero Touta who is an Artificial Human and a fake vampire. Nikitis claims to dislike Touta and his simple-minded goal of saving the world for Yukihime's sake, but he readily takes on the role of a Cynical Mentor by picking fights with the boy and teaching him how to implement the properties of Magia Erebea so Touta can be an adversary to the strongest beings in the setting. Touta isn't fooled by Nikitis' condescending statements about humanity and the two quickly become Vitriolic Best Buds instead of rivals.
• Summon Magic: His main power is to summon demonic beings of variable size and number. With a fondness for the skyscraper-sized.
• Supernatural Gold Eyes: His yellow eyes indicate his specialness as a High Daylight Walker.
• They Call Me MISTER Tibbs!: After UQ Holder gets hold of the Akashic Skywheel, Nikitis demands to be called Captain Curator Nikitis.
• Tsundere: He's one towards humanity. He goes on and on about how humans are just stupid and weak hairless monkeys that aren't even worth of his consideration. Touta instead concludes Nikitis is just bluffing because he obviously enjoys human entertainment way too much to seriously think as lowly of humans as he claims.
• Undead Child: Of the vampire variety, just like Ba'al.
• Virtue Is Weakness: A staple of his nihilistic rants, as he boasts that caring is for the weak and openly scoffs at the idea of feeling shame for switching sides after trying to maim his fellow Numbers while working for Ba'al. Played with, as like the rest it is mostly for show.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: He quickly forms this sort of dynamic with Touta. They go back and forth between acting buddy-buddy, teasing each other like there is no tomorrow or smashing each other's heads into a disgusting bloodbath.

UQ Holder No. 10 - Ikkuu Ameya

Ikkuu Ameya

Voiced by: Tetsuya Kakihara (JP), Adam Gibbs (EN)

Ikkuu is one of the more social members of UQ Holder, as well as the tenth-ranking member of the Numbers. Though he looks like a young man, he is actually in his eighties, though he spent over seventy years in a coma, giving him a mental age that is actually younger than Touta. Thus, he can claim to be 85, 13 and 24, depending on context. Though referred to as a cyborg, he claims to have a completely mechanical body into which his brain was uploaded.

---

• Arm Cannon: His cybernetic arms can transform into them, even oneshotting Strong Hand's Spider Tank with it.
• Badass Longcoat: He almost always wears a long white coat for no apparent reason other than looking good while fighting.
• The Bait: The Barons use a brainwashed Ikkuu to lure Touta into a trap, knowing Touta would come running at knowing that even one of the Numbers was still alive.
• Beam Spam: After Touta blows away Fate's barrier, (but at the price of the plan not being able to be put into action due to Kirie getting petrified) he proceeds to spam blasts from the Al-Iskandariya orbital cannon, to keep the former distracted.
• Beware the Nice Ones: He always puts on a polite expression, even when he's about to beat Kirie's would-be murderer.
  "Mister, please refrain from touching our young princess. Otherwise you will have hell to pay."
• Blade Below the Shoulder: He gets equipped with blades in his arms after the Demon Barons turn him into their puppet.
• Brain Uploading: His body is completely robotic, and Chapter 43 reveals that he can switch bodies if necessary.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: In the Time Skip arc, Ikkuu was somehow hacked and corrupted by the Demon Barons, having been turned into their puppet.
• Curtains Match the Window: Not normally, but his teenage body is shown to have green hair to match his green eyes.
• Dual Age Modes: His default body looks like a 24-year-old man. In Chapter 43, he transfers his mind into a 13-year-old form to assist Touta with his next assignment of going undercover at a middle school, meaning he now shares an appearance suited to his mental age.
• Dual Wielding: He can use a pair of Laser Blades in battle, with enough skill to keep up with a Master Swordsman, albeit briefly. Exaggerated when he sprouts four additional arms.
• Eye Beam: Can shoot a small laser from his eyes to blast off Xingzai after pummeling the latter with his fists.
• Flat Character: Compared to the other prominent Numbers, Ikkuu doesn't have any noteworthy characterization; he's just a Nice Guy who happens to have a robotic body.
• The Gadfly: Seems to enjoy teasing basically everyone from UQ Holder, especially when it comes to their interest in Touta's love life.
• Laser Blade: He uses up to two, lightsaber-like ones.
• Long-Haired Pretty Boy: He looks like an attractive young man with long blond hair which he ties in a ponytail.
• Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Ikku can sprout four additional arms, so as to wield one Laser Blade in each hand, General Grievous-style.
• Nanomachines: In the 45 years later arc, Ikkuu got an upgrade by being equipped with nanomachines after he was turned into the Demon Barons' mindless minion.
• Nice Guy: He's a friendly, easygoing fellow.
• Older Than He Looks: He is technically 85 years old, as in that's how long he has existed since he was born, but due to the coma he was in he is only mentally 13, making him younger than Touta. In addition, he purposefully chose his body to make him look around 24.
• Only Sane Man: He's probably the most reasonable and calm person of the young, quirky immortals. The only weird thing about him is that he has a robotic body.
• Out of Focus: After Santa's arc, his relevance to the story basically vanishes as he's essentially replaced by Santa. He does make appearances, but is nowhere near as prominent as he was in the earlier chapters.
• Pile Bunker: His right arm is shown to be able to transform into one during one of Kirie's "saves", while trying to take on Fate Averruncus. The latter simply stopped him with one hand and twisted the weapon so hard, it literally snapped Ikkuu's body in two.
• Powered Armor: His Pactio Artifact is a cybernetic armor.
• Shipper on Deck: He supports ToutaxKirie, like about everyone in UQ Holder.
• Token Robot: Ikkuu is the Number who achieved immortality through a robotic body.
• Wise Beyond His Years: He's one of the youngest members of the cast, and yet he is very good at understanding people, can give some pretty sage advice, and generally acts the most rational and mature, even when compared to Karin, who's 2,000 years older.

UQ Holder No. 11 - Kuroumaru Tokisaka

See this separate Character page

UQ Holder No. 12 - Santa Sasaki

Santa Sasaki

A revenant introduced hiding at Amano-Mihashira Academy City, the renamed Mahora Academy. He has the ability to become intangible and fly.

Ultimately, he joins UQ Holder, where his strength saw him accredited as the twelfth-ranked member of the Numbers.

---

• Adapted Out: He makes no appearance in the anime.
• Ambiguously Bi: Is very obviously in love with Sayoko, but he also kisses Touta for a Pactio, saying it wasn't really a big deal.
• Amnesiac Lover: Sayoko made Santa forget about their romantic relationship after they had a very bad fall out. Santa could only remember Sayoko as the one who gave him his powers until he regains his real memories about her after their eight-year reunion.
• Arc Hero: The school murder arc is all about introducing Santa and have him as the cynical loner Foil to the All-Loving Idiot Hero Touta who befriends him. Santa was even the only one who could do anything to stop Sayoko's Zombie Apocalypse, while all of UQ Holder was neutralized.
• Be Careful What You Wish For: In a Moment of Weakness, the evil spirits inside Sayoko make him say he wants to crush humanity. Sayoko then sets out to grant his "wish" by unleashing a worldwide Zombie Apocalypse. To say Santa regretted what he said would be putting it mildly.
• Beady-Eyed Loser: Santa has the beadiest eyes in the cast, fitting the role of an embittered Hikikomori and a former bullied kid.
• Big Brother Worship: Santa looks up to Touta like a little brother does to his Cool Big Bro.
• Bullied into Depression: Being bullied by rich students made Santa think all people are garbage and he refused to socialize with anyone until Touta befriends him.
• Bully Hunter: He was the prime suspect for the serial killings. However, he targets mages who abuse their power, including a gang that was going to kill a defenseless old man for no reason.
• Bully Magnet: Back when he was alive, Santa was terribly bullied by some rich students because he studied magic despite being "too poor" for it. When he tried to ask for help, the snobs framed him as a problem kid and killed him to keep him from causing trouble for them.
• Characterization Marches On: During his introduction arc, Santa is an abrasive and somewhat brutal cynic who learns that he draws the line at letting his girlfriend kill thousands of innocents even though he understands why she hates mankind. Once he joins UQ Holder, he's basically reduced to a normal, nice kid and never says anything of note.
• Chastity Couple: He and Sayoko were the closest thing the manga had to an Official Couple during their arc, but they never hold hands and barely hug. The one time Sayoko tried to kiss him, Santa got embarrassed and pulled away.
• Combo Platter Powers: He's known as an ability user much like Kirie; both of them have skills that can't be learned by others, and his skillset mainly revolves around telekinesis. The power set makes more sense once he's revealed to be a ghost.
• Conveniently an Orphan: Being an orphan makes it easy for Santa to become a ghost and join a Society of Immortals.
• Creepy Loner Girl: A Rare Male Example. Santa is an introverted and friendless Hikikomori with No Social Skills who lives alone in an apartment. He despises popular people and bullies especially. His appearance fits the stereotype too, having very long dark hair, Creepy Shadowed Undereyes and Scary Teeth. To add to the creepiness factor, he's a ghost.
• Creepy Shadowed Undereyes: His eyes are heavily shadowed, giving him the look of a chronic insomniac.
• Dating Catwoman: Santa was in a romantic relationship with Sayoko eight years ago until he ran away from her because her Yandereness freaked him out. Despite Sayoko's monstrous acts and Santa resolving to stop her from killing everyone on Earth, they still love each other.
• Dead All Along: He claims to be an immortal psion, but he's actually a Revenant Zombie. He died because of severe bullying years ago, but was brought back by a Necromancer.
• Death Amnesia: When Sayoko revived him, Santa didn't remember how he died; he didn't know he was murdered until Sayoko told him.
• Dirty Kid: Early on, he commented on how huge Karin's breasts are and was disappointed that he couldn't find out her measurements.
• Eating Lunch Alone: When he was alive, Santa hid from his bullies at an abandoned bathroom during lunchtime. That was where he first met Sayoko.
• Everyone Has Standards: Despite calling people living garbage, Santa is utterly horrified when Sayoko creates a Zombie Apocalypse to kill all the population on Earth. He does agree that the world would be better off without bullies and the rich scum, but can't bring himself to abandon a defenseless Jerkass to be eaten by zombies.
• Exhausted Eye Bags: Despite being dead and not requiring sleep, he still has heavy undershadowed eyes.
• Faustian Rebellion: Sayoko revived him as a Revenant Zombie and granted him with impressive ghostly powers which he later uses to oppose her after she attempts to extinguish mankind with a Zombie Apocalypse.
• Flight: Uses psionic abilities for easy, self powered flight. This is rather a big deal in Akamatsu stories. The total number of characters in Negima who could manage this were all top tier fighters. In Santa's case, though, he can fly because he's a ghost.
• Friendless Background: Santa didn't have any friends at school, being either bullied or shunned by his schoolmates.
• Friendly Ghost: He's a bit vicious when introduced, but Santa is a good-natured and harmless ghost kid.
• Hard Work Hardly Works: He's convinced of it. Santa grew up in a world where those who were talented or rich enough for magic walked all over everyone. Santa was neither talented or rich, but he worked hard to teach himself some magic. His effort earned him nothing but bullies that made fun of him for being "too poor" to know magic.
• Hates Rich People: Considering he was bullied by and later murdered by rich students, it's hardly a surprise.
• Hikikomori: When first introduced, Santa usually doesn't leave his room. Ever. Instead, he just stays in his room and gripes. He grows out of it by the time he joins UQ Holder.
• His Name Really Is "Barkeep": Yeah, that's not an alias in case you assumed it; Santa is seriously his real name. It's engraved in his gravestone.
• How Dare You Die on Me!: As Sayoko disintegrates in his arms, Santa yells at her for leaving without him while sobbing his heart out. After Kirie's reset power briefly brings Sayoko back, Santa still demands Sayoko to take him to the afterlife with her, but he accepts her wish for him to stay in the world of the living.
• In the Hood: He initially wears a hoodie to hide his identity from UQ Holder. He stops it after joining UQ Holder.
• Intangibility: He can phase through physical attacks or magic without letting them affect him at all. He can also drag others through solid objects, after which they only have a short time to dig out whatever has been buried before it fuses to whatever object they were buried in, presumably resulting in loss of limbs or death.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Because of his trust issues, Santa comes off as antisocial, cynical and somewhat hostile to those who try to get close to him, but it's not hard to tell he's a good kid deep down. After he joins UQ Holder, Santa loses the "jerk" aspect completely.
• Kiss Diss: Sayoko tries to kiss Santa in Chapter 51, but he pulls away in embarrassment.
• Knight in Sour Armor: He's always quick to note that he thinks that the world sucks and most people are scum, but it doesn't keep him from using his powers to protect people. After his arc, however, he never exhibits cynical views ever again.
• Laser-Guided Amnesia: He forgot all about his relationship with Sayoko and his own death until his reunion with Sayoko. Sayoko was the one who altered his memories after she unintentionally traumatized Santa with one of her gruesome murders.
• Logical Weakness: Since he's a ghost, he's naturally susceptible to anything designed to harm the undead.
• Lonely Together: He found Sayoko alone in an abandoned restroom where he went to hide from his bullies. Because she looked lonely and miserable like him, Santa continued visiting her and they fell in love.
• Loner-Turned-Friend: He's a Hikikomori kid traumatized by bullying, but Touta's influence gets Santa to open up a bit and he soon joins his group of friends.
• Love at First Sight: As shown in a flashback, Santa was instantly attracted to Sayoko the moment he first saw her.
• Love Martyr: Played With. Santa is majorly freaked out by knowing that his Yandere of a girlfriend Sayoko is a psychotic Serial Killer and he wanted to leave her after he saw what she did to his murderers. In the end, however, he's still in love with Sayoko despite of everything she has done and he was ready to leave to the afterlife together with her until she asked him to stay in the world of the living.
• Male Frontal Nudity: In chapter 179, Santa appears nude from the front, with his member outlined.
• Mind over Matter: He's able to move around large objects like buses and a ferry to barricade a bridge, though this requires him some effort.
• Morality Pet: While she's an insane Serial Killer and a horrifying Yandere, Sayoko truly cares for Santa a lot and she's at her most lucid when talking to him.
• More Teeth than the Osmond Family: Most noticeable characteristic is his sharklike teeth.
• Mundane Utility: He can skip the jogging part of Dana's training by using his ability to fly.
• My God, What Have I Done?: He's horrified when he sees Sayoko has infested the academy with zombies because he told her he wanted to crush the world that let him die.
• Mythology Gag: This isn't the first time Ken Akamatsu has had a character named Santa or Sasaki.
• Naked on Revival: He appears in the nude when Touta frees him from the Jizo statue. Since he's a spirit, he rematerializes his clothes shortly after.
• Nightmare Fetishist: He thinks a real murder scene is cool and he admits to finding Sayoko's insane side kinda awesome.
• No-Sell: Due to being a ghost, any magical or physical attack not meant to deal with his kind will just phase through him. That includes gravity.
• No Social Skills: Due to his lack of friends and interactions with anyone other than Sayoko, he has trouble dealing with other people. When he officially joins UQ Holder, he admits to being uncomfortable with how friendly everyone is to him and feels unworthy of his position. He does grow out of this eventually.
• No Sympathy: He doesn't feel the slightest bit sorry for the murdered rich students, claiming such bunch of stuck-ups have it coming. Given what they are shown dishing out, it's hard not to agree at least a bit.
• Older Than He Looks: Santa was 12 years old when he died and had spent 8 years as a ghost when UQ Holder finds him, making him 20 years old despite looking younger than the 14-year-old Touta.
• Our Ghosts Are Different: Santa is a ghost of much higher capacities than Sayo, the only other ghost known in the franchise. Unlike Sayo, Santa does have feet, his body is tangible as long as he wants it to, and he can be seen by normal people. He also can eat food and sleep like living people, to the point he didn't even suspect he's a ghost until Kuroumaru's exorcist techniques have effect on him.
• Out of Focus: After his introduction arc is done and he officially joins UQ Holder, Santa has such a small presence that he seems like a Living Prop more often than not. It's so bad that the anime had him Adapted Out without that much difficulty.
• Past Experience Nightmare: His past as a victim of bullying still haunts his nightmares.
• Playful Hacker: He can use his ghost powers to assimilate himself with a computer system and easily hack into UQ Holder's database. Later on, he gets the same artifact as Chisame that should allow him to hack electronic systems.
• Please Put Some Clothes On: He's the only one in the team who can't lose his clothes because they're part of his spiritual body, so he bashfully asks his teammates to put something on whenever they fall victims of Clothing Damage, which is very often.
• Progressively Prettier: His creepy visual traits in his earlier appearances get downplayed as the manga goes on, to the point that he's drawn cuter in the later chapters. He loses the Exhausted Eye Bags and now has bigger eyes, making him look like a regular cute kid with shark teeth.
• Psychic Powers: His abilities are translated as being a psion, presumably based on the D&D class with psychic powers roughly on par with magic users like sorcerors or wizards. He himself sneers at magic/chi as inferior. However, he's not a psion; he's actually a ghost.
• Red Herring: He's set up to look like the Serial Killer UQ Holder is after. The real killer was Sayoko the entire time.
• Revenant Zombie: He died around eight years prior to the story, but Sayoko resurrected him as a revenant. Although he's a ghost rather than a reanimated corpse, he fits all other aspects of the trope (the original revenants could be spirits as well as zombies).
• Sealed Good in a Can: During the 45 years that Touta was missing, Santa nearly got exorcized by the Demon Barons and his soul was sealed inside a Jizo statue to keep him in the world of the living. He's freed by Touta through the power of Magic Cancel.
• Sour Outside, Sad Inside: His abrasive and antisocial attitude acts like a shield so that others would leave him alone, as he's afraid of being hurt by them. He grows out of it after he befriends Touta.
• Superpower Lottery: His powers are as far as immortals go quite vast, with only two weaknesses: exorcism and being earthbound to where he loses power the further away he is from the planet's surface.
• Sympathy for the Devil: No matter how horrific her actions are, Santa still feels for Sayoko, knowing society's cruelty made her into the monster she's now.
• Tall Poppy Syndrome: Hates people that seem popular and plots against them, though he seems to actually target thugs.
• Tastes Like Friendship: Santa eating the ramen Touta made for breakfast is one of the first steps that leads them to becoming friends.
• Technopath: The Artifact he gets from his Pactio with Touta is a Magitek wand that allows the wielder to hack into any computer or electronic system.
• Tele-Frag: Weaponizes a version of this. He himself can turn intangible at will. He can also grab people and stick them into other objects. If they can't get out in time, it's implied that they'll lose whatever body part was placed into the object.
• There Are Two Kinds of People in the World: He tells Touta that in their world, there's only jerks with talent for magic and jerks with enough money to buy magic apps.
• Tiny Schoolboy: Having been only 12 when he died, Santa is the shortest male teenage member of the cast, only slightly taller than the Token Mini-Moe. This is one of the things that made him an easy target of bullying when he was alive.
• Together in Death: Subverted. Santa's intention was to follow Sayoko to the afterlife after stopping her, but Sayoko implores him to stay on the world of the living in her place, and he does.
• Token Wholesome: Unlike about every other character in the series, Santa is never sexualized and his few nude scenes have next to no fanservice. He's also the only one immune to Clothing Damage because being a ghost makes him able to instantly rematerialize his clothes.
• Tomato in the Mirror: For the past eight years, Santa was under the belief that he was an immortal psion granted with great powers by Sayoko. He's the one most shocked to discover he's already dead and Sayoko, being a Necromancer, kept him in the world of the living as a Revenant Zombie.
• Took a Level in Cheerfulness: He's far less grumpy once he befriends Touta.
• Took a Level in Kindness: All of his abrasive and vicious personality traits disappear completely once his arc concludes.
• Undead Child: Santa was only twelve years old when some rich students murdered him and his Necromancer girlfriend turned him into a revenant.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Eight years ago, Santa ran away from Sayoko after she took revenge for his death by maiming his killers. Without Santa, Sayoko spent her last years all alone with thousands of evil spirits inside her destroying what little sanity she had left and ultimately driving her to try and destroy mankind. When his memories return, Santa wonders if maybe he could have prevented the worldwide Zombie Apocalypse if he had stayed together with Sayoko.

Associates of UQ Holder

Staff of Fairyland Hall

Shinobu Yuuki

Shinobu Yuuki

Voiced by: Sayaka Harada (JP), Tia Ballard (EN)

A girl that Touta met in the country. She dreams of competing in the Neo Olympics, and later ends up working at Fairyland Hall.

---

• Ace Pilot: She's able to keep up with Kirie and Mizore in a race despite lacking access to experimental engines and Save Scumming powers.
• Adaptational Late Appearance: The anime removes entirely the second chapter of the manga in which Shinobu was first introduced. Instead, Shinobu appears until Touta arrives at Fairyland Hall since she's already working as a maid there.
• Badass Adorable: An adorable Badass Biker and Badass Normal.
• Badass Normal: Shinobu is capable of competing in the race with a racer made of old scrap against the power of mages, immortals, and those with advanced tech like Mizore.
• Boyish Short Hair: Her short hair is one of the reasons why Touta couldn't tell she's a girl at first.
• Bully Magnet: Due to her dream of going to the city, Shinobu was picked on by the kids in her village.
• The Bus Came Back: She showed back up after 93 chapters looking to meet up with Touta again.
• Country Mouse: Like Touta, she comes from the country. She isn't as ignorant of the city life as him, but she did get caught off guard by how high all the prices were, and ended up without a place to stay until she came to Fairyland Hall.
• Curtains Match the Window: Black hair and eyes.
• Demoted to Extra: Her role and appearances are greatly reduced in the anime to the point she was nearly completely Adapted Out.
• Earn Your Happy Ending: She managed to earn herself a spot on the Mayflower III, which was a rare chance and took a lot of hard work.
• Expy: Going by her name and character design, she's obviously based off of Shinobu Maehara from Love Hina, although she lacks most of the latter's Shrinking Violet personality.
• Fanservice Pack: While still fairly modest in the chest area, she does grow considerably between her first and later appearances.
• Foil: To Mizore. Shinobu is a poor boyish girl with few very talents, while Mizore is a talented rich girly girl. Furthermore, Mizore is a confident, shameless girl whereas Shinobu has serious self-esteem issues and is very much not okay with showing herself off like Mizore.
• Girl Next Door: Has the personality type, being wholesome, cute quiet, though also having Wrench Wench traits that would make her popular with guys, as surmised by Kirie to be her threat.
• Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: Shinobu is a Wrench Wench, keeps her hair short, and wears sporty clothes, but she is also sweet, feminine in personality and a good cook.
• Hidden Buxom: Although not super large, her sweatshirt does hide her assets and make Touta confuse her for a boy.
• Hopeless Suitor: Her chances of ever getting Touta were as nonexistent as Mizore's.
• Insecure Love Interest: Shinobu doesn't consider herself anything special especially compared to the other girls Touta is familiar with. When she goes on a date with Touta, she spends most of the time putting herself down.
• In the Hood: She used to use her hoodie to hide her face, but stopped after meeting Touta.
• Lady Looks Like a Dude: Due to her Boyish Short Hair and boyish clothes, Touta thought she was a boy until he saw her naked. He is rather casual about learning this, however.
• Mayfly–December Romance: Shinobu is a mortal human girl with a crush on the immortal Touta.
• Meido: Touta gets her hired as a maid at Fairyland Hall. In the anime, she's already working there when Touta joins UQ Holder.
• Nice Girl: Shinobu is kind and tries to be nice even to those that are bullying her. She is also usually forgiving of Touta's Accidental Pervert moments, the only exception being when he was surprised by her being a girl.
• Plucky Girl: Determined to make something of her life and go the city despite all the adversity she faced. This is why Touta likes her.
• Reluctant Fanservice Girl: Shinobu is mortified by being seen naked by Touta and wearing a swimsuit in the race, but especially being stripped.
• Rescue Romance: Her attraction to Touta was caused by him saving her from falling off a cliff. The anime removes the event, but Shinobu still develops her crush on Touta after he saves her from some monsters that escaped from UQ Holder's underground cavern.
• The Runaway: She tells Touta that she came to the city to run away from her adoptive family.
• Throw the Dog a Bone: Not only did she achieve her dream of going to the Mayflower III, she managed to meet Tota again within her lifetime on the planet Cetus.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: While not a complete tomboy, she's definitely this compared to the far more feminine Mizore.
• Two First Names: As mentioned with Karin, Yuuki can be used as a given name, but is a valid family name too.
• Vague Age: Shinobu calls Touta, sempai and looks like a teenager, making her likely 13-15.
• Wrench Wench: In her first appearance, she was trying fix and old hoverbike.

Mizore Yukihiro

Mizore Yukihiro

Voiced by: Akari Kitou (JP), Juliet Simmons (EN)

Great-granddaughter of Ayaka and heir to the Yukihiro Conglomerate. She initially stays at Fairyland hall as a guest, before eventually working there as a maid.

---

• A-Cup Angst: She's annoyed that she cannot hold a candle to the likes of Karin, Mana, and others with similar chest sizes. However, she does go on to state that her body is maturing and that she'll catch up, especially if Ayaka is any indication.
• Ascended Extra: In Negima, she was given a brief mention by the young Yukihiro girl in the future Asuna visited. Here, she's a fully fledged character.
• Auntie Pennybags: Like her great-grandmother before her, she'll happily spend ridiculous amounts of money for her friends.
• Best Her to Bed Her: She claimed Touta as her husband after he defeated her. He wasn't interested.
• Bring My Brown Pants: She pees herself in terror when she finds herself in the presence of Negi-Ialda.
• Bus Crash: She started to disappear from the story as the series as went on and she ends up dying during the timeskip at the age of 34 with her death never being mentioned until the epilogue.
• Butt-Monkey: Another trait she inherited from Ayaka. She's not portrayed as a serious love interest and frequently finds herself in embarrassing situations. Dana even punches her at one point.
• Dirty Kid: Mizore knows a whole lot more about sex than a girl of her age should, and what's more, knows how to put that knowledge to practical use.
• Dynamic Entry: Introduced herself to Touta by kicking through a window.
• Entitled to Have You: She declares herself as the only girl who will ever be deserving of Touta, claiming any other woman would "ruin him".
• Fille Fatale: She tries to seduce Touta several times. She fails every time.
• Foil: To Shinobu. Mizore is a loaded feminine girly girl with talents oozing out of her and confidence that rivals almost any immortal in the series. Shinobu on the other hand is something of a tomboy, not particularly talented (besides being a good pilot), and has trouble making her presence felt because she's shy and insecure.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: Mizore is the only person among Touta's friends and acquaintances, that he completely fails to say he loves in any sense while under the influence of a truth potion. He does come to think a bit better of her after she drives with one of his clones in the race.
• Generation Xerox: Like her great-grandmother, Mizore is a Large Ham Ojou who acts as the personal fangirl of the current Chick Magnet of the Springfield family. Taken a step further when she makes a Pactio with Touta and gets the same Artifact Ayaka got from her Pactio with Negi.
• Genre Savvy: She's the first one to realize that Touta's a Chick Magnet due to Negi and Nagi's history.
• Girlish Pigtails: She has her hair tied in twintails, fitting her childish character.
• Hopeless Suitor: She has the worst case. While Touta does like every other girl in the Unwanted Harem in some way, he has no fond feelings for Mizore and barely even acknowledges her as a friend for a long while.
• Identical Granddaughter: She's pretty much a carbon copy of her great-grandmother.
• Impossible Theft: Her grandmother taught her a technique that allows her to steal a girl's swimsuit while she's wearing it.
• In Love with Love: She doesn't want Touta as much as she wants a husband who belongs to the Springfield bloodline of dashing heroes.
• Irony: Mizore died rather young in contrast to her great-grandmother, who lived well into her twilight years. If not for her early death, she would've been able to live to see Touta again after the timeskip.
• Kid-Appeal Character: Mizore is the cute, but loud and obnoxious little girl without any supernatural abilities who hangs out with the main cast of immortals to try and make Touta her husband, even though there's zero chances of that ever happening.
• Large Ham: Incredibly over the top with her introduction, charming attempts, and everything else.
• Lovable Sex Maniac: She's very open about her desire to get into Touta's pants.
• Mayfly–December Romance: Like Shinobu, Mizore is a mortal human girl who has a big crush on the immortal Touta. She died at the age of 34, decades before Touta returned to Earth.
• Meido: She likes to dress in the Fairyland Hall's maid uniform purely for cosplay's purposes.
• Nice Girl: Boisterous as she may be, she's every bit as selfless as Ayaka was. She may chase Touta to the ends of the Earth, but fully encourages Shinobu to be just as proactive.
• Noblewoman's Laugh: Shown doing this during her very first appearance.
• The Nudifier: She learned the "Yukihiro-ryuu Undressing Technique" from her grandmother, which she uses in a water race to strip other girls of their swimsuits.
• Ojou: She's the heir to the Yukihiro Conglomerate.
• Plucky Comic Relief: Unlike the other haremettes, it's painfully obvious Mizore's only purpose to be in the series is to bring about harem comedy.
• Running Gag: Mizore repeatedly claims to know of a way to save the world, but she never gets to say what it is because something always interrupts her at the crucial moment. She finally gets the opportunity when she scores a date with Touta: Her vast resources and wealth can help humanity evolve naturally.
• Self-Proclaimed Love Interest: She declares Touta to be her future husband quickly after they met. Touta admits this actually puts him off a bit.
• Shameless Fanservice Girl: She sneaks into the men's bathroom to scrub Touta's back while wearing a School Swimsuit. She also has no problem being televised racing in a skimpy swimsuit that can easily come off. She also mentioned that she would have preferred wearing a Naked Apron when she has to replace it with one of Touta's shirts.
• Shoo Out the Clowns: Whenever it's time to put the harem comedy aside and start with the gory battles, Mizore disappears from the scene completely. By the timeskip, it's permanent.
• Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Like grand-mother like grand-daughter, she's attracted to the kindness of her generation's Springfield boy.
• Skinship Grope: She gleefully gropes Shinobu to show Touta that the poor girl has started her growth spurt.
• Smitten Teenage Girl: She's closer to a preteen, but her behavior towards Touta perfectly exemplifies this. Mizore almost immediately develops a massive and very vocal crush on Touta. She's always declaring that she will make him her husband and literally throws herself at him whenever she has the chance.
• Spin-Offspring: Ayaka's great-granddaughter.
• Spoiled Sweet: She comes off as flippant at times, but her date with Touta shows she's always thinking about the bigger picture as she's given serious thought about how her wealth and influence (along with Touta's power) can aid humanity.
• Through His Stomach: She gets up early to cook Touta a feast for lunch despite cutting herself multiple times.
• Token Mini-Moe: She becomes the other loli resident of Fairyland Hall. Unlike Kirie, Mizore really is the age she looks like.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: The girly girl to Shinobu's tomboy. To her credit, she does try to draw Touta's attention to Shinobu's more feminine aspects.
• Uptown Girl: She's the heiress of one of the wealthiest families in her world and wants to marry a boy who works as the badly paid employee of an inn.

The Konoe Twins

Honoka and Isana Konoe

The twin grandchildren of Konoka Konoe and Setsuna Sakurazaki, allies/students of Negi Springfield.

---

Both

• Adapted Out: They don't appear in the anime adaptation.
• Artificial Human: Implied. They say Konoka and Setsuna are their grandmothers and look identical to them, but it's never made clear whether they even have actual parents or not. Honoka and Isana call Touta "older brother" and Negi "grandfather", implying they're results of the same cloning project that created Touta.
• Attack Hello: They greet Touta by teleporting themselves behind him and proceeding to ambush him.
• Defeat by Modesty: They attack Touta by surprise and nearly succeed in abducting him until Touta beats them by using Revolution to destroy their clothes.
• Defeat Means Friendship: After Touta defeats them and Fate leaves them behind, the twins join UQ Holder's side without protest.
• Dynamic Entry: In the middle of Touta's meeting with 3-A's former students, Honoka and Isana teleport themselves behind him and start attacking him in an attempt to kidnap him.
• Family Theme Naming: Not only do they look identical to their predecessors Konoka and Setsuna, their names sound similar too.
• Generation Xerox: Like Konoka and Setsuna before them, Honoka is a mage with impressive spells and Isana is a Shinmeiryuu swordswoman. Their personalities seem identical to their predecessors, too. Isana even calls Honoka "Ojou-sama", just like Setsuna did for Konoka, despite being her sister.
• Green Rooming: They move to Fairyland Hall after they fail to kidnap Touta and Fate abandons them, but they tend to completely disappear for several chapters and even when they do appear, they're just standing in the background.
• Heel–Face Turn: Not really by choice, but Zazie takes custody of them after she plucks them from the river and gives them over to Touta for his plans dealing with Negi.
• Identical Granddaughter: They look exactly like Konoka (Honoka) and Setsuna (Isana), which Touta notes when he sees the statues of the twins' grandmothers.
• Little Miss Badass: They look like preteen versions of Konoka and Setsuna. They also managed to get the drop on Touta and send him flying with a Combination Attack, and then spend the majority of the next chapter working him over.
• Meido: They have apparently joined the Fairyland Hall's staff since they're seen wearing maid uniforms to greet the customers.
• Overshadowed by Awesome: Both are fairly decent fighters by standards of regular humans in the setting. The problem is they're hanging around immortals that can survive being torn apart and facing some of the most powerful monsters in the verse. As a result, Honoka and Isana can't help at all with the fights and get stuck in the sidelines along the totally normal girls Shinobu and Mizore.
• Polar Opposite Twins: Similar to their grandmothers, Honoka is cheery and talkative while Isana is collected and reserved.
• Proper Tights with a Skirt: They wear black tights with their school uniforms and come from a rich family.
• School Uniforms are the New Black: They wear school uniforms that are magically reinforced. So, you can guess what happens when Touta uses a Magic Cancel punch on them.
• Sibling Team: These twin sisters fight together as a team and managed to capture Touta without much effort (although he escaped pretty easily).
• Spin-Offspring: The grandchildren of Konoka and Setsuna.
• Sword and Sorcerer: Honoka is a very competent mage and Isana is a practitioner of the Shinmeiryuu-sword style.

Honoka

• Big Brother Worship: Honoka looks to Touta, affectionately calling him nii-sama. The first thing she does upon after waking up from cold sleep and seeing Touta again is to joyfully give him Bear Hug
• Hime Cut: Like Konoka, Honoka has straight full bangs, waist-length sidelocks, and classic-length straight hair. Isana calls Honoka "Ojou-sama" and as Konoka's granddaughter, Honoka is related to the rich Konoe family.
• Paper Talisman: Honoka uses these in her magic.
• Shaping Your Attacks: Honoka can cast a spell that creates dragons out of water. Touta even takes a moment to point out how awesome it is, despite the fact that she was using the spell against him.
• Thinking Up Portals: Honoka can use her Paper Talisman to create portal gates.

Isana

• Demon Slaying: Just like Setsuna before her, Isana possesses the Shinmeiryuu-sword style, which is catered towards this.
• Doppelgänger Attack: Isana is capable of splitting herself into clones when attacking.
• Hero-Worshipper: Isana becomes quite enamored with Kuromaru's Shinmeiryuu skills and asks to be Kuromaru's disciple. The first thing she does upon after waking up from cold sleep and seeing Kuromaru again is to joyfully give her Bear Hug
• The Quiet One: Isana is of few words.
• Winged Humanoid: Isana can generate wings, just like her grandmother Setsuna.
