Growth cheats? Infinite magic power? The ability to utilize all archetypes? What’s the point if instant death ends everything with a single attack?
High school senior Yogiri Takatou was on a school field trip when he woke up to a dragon assaulting his sightseeing bus, with the only ones still on the bus being him and his female classmate, the panicking Tomochika Dannoura. Apparently the rest of his classmates had been given special powers by Sion, a woman who introduced herself as Sage, and escaped from the dragon, leaving those that hadn’t received any special powers behind as dragon bait, and so Yogiri was thrown into a parallel universe full of danger, with no idea of what just happened. Likewise, Sion had no way of knowing just what kind of being she had summoned to her world.
A manga adaption with the subtitle -ΑΩ- drawn by Hanamaru Nanto began serialisation in Comic Earth Star in March 2018.
The light novels and the manga are licensed for digital release in North America by J-Novel Club, with Yen Press handling the print release. The first volumes of the light novel and manga were released digitally in September 2020 and September 2021 respectively; and both in print in June 2023.
An anime adaptation was announced December 2022
and licensed by Sentai Filmworks for US streaming in October 2023. The first PV can be watched here.
Provides examples of:
- Abhorrent Admirer: Daimon Hanakawa is the classmate of Yogiri and Tomochika and he is also a fat pervert obsessed in ogling and romancing girls. In Volume 2/Episode 7, both Aoi and Tomochika are repulsed by his perverted behavior with Aoi calling Daimon trash for recognizing Tomochika by her voluptuous figure while Tomochika calls him the same thing when he gets aroused in seeing Aoi groveling.
- Adaptational Attractiveness: Yogiri looks like a Ridiculously Average Guy in the light novel, but in the manga and anime, he's granted a more unique appearance with cyan wing-like coloration around his hair.
- Adventure-Friendly World: Thoroughly deconstructed. Here it is shown how those who are invited to such a world and given great powers are... less keen on the responsibility side. Especially after they became stronger. They also have the tendency to not just invite but also drag people without consent to follow on their "fun" path, creating a cycle.
- Affably Evil:
- The Sages. Especially Sion, which is the nicest and sweetest girl one could ever met... Except she's casual on spiriting away people into her world without consent to turn them into Sage candidates, and also killing and disposing anyone that is incapable of using magic and those that she perceived as "weak" or "annoying".
- The Goddess Vahanato not only looks hot and extremely beautiful, she appeared as a kind-hearted and cheerful woman with cheerful and kind follower who regards her highly as well... if not for her and her followers' goal to destroy the world and exterminate humanity.
- Always a Bigger Fish: Malna and Rilna, two goddesses who considered themselves omnipotent and omniscient, discovered too late that Yogiri was not someone they should have provoked.
- Ambiguously Human: In-Universe, whenever someone realizes the real danger that Yogiri Takatou represents, he always comes to the conclusion that he is not human, but something that pretends to be human.
- Anachronism Stew: Along with Fantasy Kitchen Sink, reconstructed due to the fantasy world being constantly invaded by "aggressors" and people from another world being constantly brought in. Early on, Yogiri and Tomochika came across a modern Japanese city guarded by a military which is also an undead.
- A Million Is a Statistic: By volume 6, Yogiri has killed countless people, including over a million innocent people who were serving as backups vessels for a body-snatching wizard, without batting an eyelash. Then again, he's not human either.
- And I Must Scream: Yogiri can inflict that fate on people when he tries to be creative with his power. He left a beast-man in a completely paralyzed state, unable to smell and see and also making him deaf enough to be unable to hear his own thoughts. When vampire Lain tried to heal the beastman by tearing one of his eyes out and growing a new one with magic, the new eye was still blind, suggesting that injuries caused by Yogiri are completely incurable.
- Anthropomorphic Personification: Yogiri's true form is the very concept of the inevitable end of time and everything. Even for otherwise omnipotent beings that exist outside of time and the universe, the fact that they exist at all means that they are susceptible to the idea of not existing. The only thing that could possibly be immune to Yogiri's power is himself, as it would be paradoxical for the source of death to die, but he's still not willing to test it.
- Anyone Can Die: A deconstructive take on this in-universe, as Yogiri himself effectively inflicts it. Since no one can truly escape what his One-Hit Kill capabilities do, every single potential enemy or even people who have underlying, passive hostility towards him can drop dead in the blink of an eye, turning him into the nigh-literal reaper hanging a sickle over any potential character's neck for the whole of the series. No matter how powerful, unique, or even pitiful a character may be, no one but his loved ones are actually, truly safe.
- Apocalypse How: Class 6 to a possible Class X. Yogiri's powers is easily capable to bring about mass extinction of all life on any planet. However, the problem isn't Yogiri having any intentions on doing that but anyone who would be too stupid enough to provoke him. Unfortunately, the people of the other world made attempts on killing him with those having the common sense to try helping Yogiri return back to Earth.
- Artificial Human: Shinozaki Ayaka, one of the students left to die on the bus, revealed herself to be an artificial human being, created to replace humanity in the event of mass extinction.
- Asshole Victim:
- You can expect most, if not all of Yogiri's victims to deserve their fates including the Ax-Crazy Sages, malicious deities and Demon Lords who all have used their powers to harm, enslave, torture and kill countless innocent people.
- The Swordmaster is beheaded by Theodisia after he orchestrated the kidnapping of her people and draining of their mana even if it's for the good cause in preventing a Demon Lord from escaping.
- Audience Surrogate: Tomochika. If there's anything weird about the happenings, including Yogiri's Instant Death ability, it would be her to comment on.
- Badass Normal: The knight Richard/Rick. Despite being a run-out-of-mill Knight in Shining Armor, he managed to impale and eliminate a goddess in a single strike as she prepares a world-destroying spell with little, if any, help from Yogiri.
- Bad Powers, Good People: Yogiri has the ability to kill people with a thought as the avatar of "the end" incarnate, but only uses it to protect himself and his allies and is generally one of the more grounded people in the series.
- Beauty Equals Goodness: Averted HARD. From the Sages to Gods/Goddesses to the Ultimate Extermination God, they have an unassumingly attractive or cute look despite their penchant for death and destruction.
- Beware the Superman: It's extremely rare to find someone with power in this series using it for good, resulting in a viciously Might Makes Right-operated world where the weak are thought of fairly similarly to bugs.
- Black-and-Grey Morality: The Sages are a group of Evil Heroes that are in charge of protecting the world from interdimensional invaders, but cause just as much damage as any of them in practice because of their extremely callous, self-serving attitudes and willingness to kill for petty reasons. It's also not uncommon for them to drag teenagers from Earth into their conflicts, resulting in either them dying or causing even more damage to the world with the Sages' approval. Yogiri and Tomochika are just trying to get home and protect themselves, but grow to be alarmingly comfortable with killing anyone who threatens them, regardless of their circumstances or motivations.
- Blood Knight: Lord Raiza was so crazy to find a worthy opponent that he constantly ordered his sons to attack the villages in his territory and do all sorts of horrible things with the order to always leave survivors to make people hate him and come after him for revenge.
- Bloodless Carnage: Yogiri's victim lays down dead without any spill of blood.
- Book Ends: In the anime, the first and last episode has Yogiri killing a Dragon. Also, the first episode starts with a sleeping Yogiri being waken up by Tomochika and in the last episode, Yogiri goes to sleep, his head on the lap of Tomochika.
- Born-Again Immortality: Yogiri is able to live a hundred years after the death of his current Incarnation, he will be reborn as a baby.
- Bowdlerize:
- In the end of the first chapter of the light novel, Sion is described wearing a negligee while laying down on her bed. She's wearing a sleepwear that covers much of her body in the manga and anime.
- After Lynel summoned Vahanato, she left her body for Lynel as a "reward" in the light novel and manga. In the anime, it fades shortly after Vahanato left. That said, Lynel didn't took advantage of her in either adaptations.
- Inverted in the scene where Jougasaki took over Mokomoko and the control over Tomochika's armor. Tomochika in the light novel is stripped down to the underwear while in the anime she's stripped down naked.
- The nuclear in the end of the Sage Battle Royale is replaced with a giant liquid canister bomb with a Sphere of Destruction instead of a mushroom cloud in the beginning of episode 12.
- Bullying the Dragon: Anyone that messes with Yogiri ends up dropping dead on the ground. And even after seeing their comrades killed, some still want to pick a fight with him.
- Complete Immortality: Yogiri's true form is an invincible void that embodies the end of everything. It cannot be destroyed by anyone or anything perhaps barring his own Instant Death ability, which he would never use on himself anyway. It is eternal and cannot be erased by anything, granting him this.
- Compressed Adaptation: The anime covers 4 volumes of story in 12 episodes. Obviously some parts are shaved off and others are speedrun through.
- Cosmic Plaything: Lynel is a person so unlucky that the goddess Vahanato manipulated him so that his bad luck would allow her to free her husband and then exterminate humanity.
- Crapsack World: As a natural consequences of the deconstructions listed below.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Any fight that Yogiri gets involved in always ends with his opponent dying before they can do anything. Tomochika even complains at one point about the fact that he doesn't let his opponent finish his transformation.
- Cursed Item: Before being taken away by the organization, Yogiri accidentally created a cursed video that killed anyone who watched it. A while later, the organization decided to destroy the video and any other copies for fear of the possibility of the video leaking onto the internet and causing the extinction of humanity.
- Death Seeker: The shadows that appear during the night around Yogiri are the souls of the Gods and Youkai who have grown tired of their immortality and seek to be killed by Yogiri.
- Deconstructed Character Archetype:
- The title character is how if a character with a Story-Breaker Power is taken to a logical extreme seriously with all of its consequences and without any other capable barriers standing in its way.
- The Sages (and later, gods) are basically what would happen to either a Monty Haul gamemaster, or a video game player who, not only content of finishing the game, but also achieved 100% Completion and took full control of the game, including the engine. They have the tendency to treat the another world they're summoned into as if it's a sandbox videogame or a tabletop RPG made real. They also have the tendency to drag people, like minded or not, to follow on their path and they took death and destruction lightly due to their immense power.
- Deconstructed Trope: Adventure-Friendly World is thoroughly deconstructed here, showing how terrible it is with many people with enough will and power exploiting the world as if it is a sandbox RPG game. Imagine a world populated with "murderhobos" that became the top of the food chain. And as they think it's fun, they stop at not just inviting somebody else, but dragging somebody else into their "game".
- Deconstructor Fleet: Of the isekai fantasy genre, especially the "overpowered protagonist" variety. The Adventure-Friendly World is viciously run on Might Makes Right where the strong treat the world like a game and are free to kill, torture and enslave as they please, the pretty lady who summoned the class there is a Psychopathic Womanchild who plans to turn them all into magic livestock if they fail to complete her tasks, the LitRPG powers they get are corrupting them into bloodthirsty maniacs so they're more comfortable with fighting, and the reason our Nominal Hero is so busted is because he's an actual, genuine Eldritch Abomination that's practically tearing the world apart on his journey to get back home.
- Didn't See That Coming: The reaction of basically everyone who gets killed by Yogiri. Also, Yukio Shiraishi did not really expect Asaka to be so competent in her work that Yogiri would become so attached to her.
- The Dreaded: Before being teleported to other worlds, Yogiri was constantly monitored by organizations that were extremely terrified of its existence. When he disappeared, everyone who knew the truth about him sighed with relief that he was no longer on the planet.
- Drunk with Power: The students who received Sage's Gifts immediately decided they were in charge of the Muggles because of their superior strength, and unanimously decided to leave them as dragon bait. In general, it's rare to find someone with power in the other world who's also a decent person.
- Eldritch Abomination: Yogiri is not an isekai protagonist with an OP cheat ability. He is actually an isekai'd Humanoid Abomination straight out of an SCP Foundation story who will bring about the end of everything if he so chooses. The story eventually pits Yogiri against other eldritch abominations with Yogiri coming up winning or surviving.
- Even More Omnipotent: Pretty much everyone compared to Yogiri. Even other gods that have destroyed countless universes in the past are instantly killed by him.
- Everyone Has Standards: Yogiri rarely showed any kind of empathy when using his power to kill someone, but even he took some satisfaction in killing the Children of Raiza because of the level of cruelty they enjoyed inflicting on innocent people.
- Fantasy Kitchen Sink: Along with Anachronism Stew, reconstructed due to the fantasy world being constantly invaded by "aggressors" and people from another world being constantly brought in. Eldritch Abomination, Humanoid Abomination, gods, goddesses, and empowered beings exist in the fantasy world and often go toe-to-toe with each other.
- Fate Worse than Death: Final fate of the Great Sage Mitsuki, due to the fact that he transformed reality into his dream that led Yogiri to transform him into a ghost eternally trapped in the void unable to interact with reality, with the sole objective of making him continue to dream.
- Females Are More Innocent: One of the bandits who ambush Yogiri and Tomochika, Mireille, tries to exploit the trope after seeing Yogiri's powers, and claims that she was forced by their leader and tells a phony story about her family. Yogiri doesn't buy it and kills her and her boss, with her death being the one seen by the readers.
- The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: Yogiri's powers extend outside the narrative, as he confirmed during one of the author's post-script Q&As that he could choose to kill the concept of the segments but it would result in them no longer being made.
- Godzilla Threshold: Yogiri revealed to Tomochika that he would be able to get them home using his power, but only wants to use it as a last resort due to the fact that he will have to destroy all the space between the other world and the earth which might end up leading to the destruction of several other worlds that get in the way.
- Go Mad from the Revelation: When Aoi used her ability to see fate in Yogiri, she ended up losing her sanity when the only thing she saw was the end of everything that exists.'"It was a dead end. The inevitable destination of all fates, beyond which there was nothing. The end of all things in human form. An embodiment of nonexistence that would overcome all others, something that no one could ever hope to surpass. Before this thing, the machinations of Fate were nothing more than a crude joke."
- Heroic Neutral: As long as he, Asaka, Tomochika, and anyone else he's close to are not the target, Yogiri doesn't care what happens around him.
- Horrifying Hero: Given the nature of his ability and his true form, Yogiri is treated less like an overpowered badass isekai hero and more like a walking calamity that consumes everything in its path while others can only hope to appease it or pray they escape its notice. That said, he is just barely on the lighter side of the morality spectrum, only wanting to stay out of trouble, protect his loved ones and go home.
- Horrifying the Horror: The Heavenly Record Eater, a being that exists outside of reality responsible for devouring countless worlds, panicked when he realized that no matter what he did, he could not escape being killed by Yogiri in the next 10 seconds.
- I Have Boobs, You Must Obey!: Tomochika accidentally invoked this on Yogiri as he states the main reason why he initially protected her was because of how soft her boobs felt when she hugged him out of fright
- Indecisive Parody: The light novel/manga/anime present itself as a parody due to the protagonist's ridiculous One-Hit Kill ability and the Sages and gods tendency to treat the universe like it's a sandbox game but most events in the story (such as Yogiri's past, Theodisia's story, the nature of Yogiri's existence and power, the brutality of Ayaka Shinozaki in her revenge, and Sion's gradual loss of bodily functions followed by her assistant being targeted as well due to her refusal/inability sending the class back home) is genuinely played for horror or drama.
- Invincible Hero: Yogiri is this as anyone and anything that so much as thinks of trying to inflict lethal harm on him simply drops dead. Can occasionally veer into Comically Invincible Hero with how hialriously anticlimactic some of his "fights" are.
- Irony: Yazaki coerces everyone to leave the remaining students who weren't blessed to die to ensure their survival. Over the course of the series, the group are hopelessly killed off one by one by those same students. To add further insult to injury, one of Yazaki's followers is the one responsible for his death after he unseals the evil god.
- It Gets Easier:
- The Gift from Sages causes the receiver to become more aggressive and cavalier about killing.
- Mokomoko releases a seal on Tomochika, causing her to become more comfortable about death and killing, albeit not to the same aggressive extent as those with Gifts.
- Meaningful Rename: Alpha Omega was Yogiri Takatou's original name while under the supervision of a secret organization, due to his ability to end anything. One of his caretakers, Asaka Takatou, named him Yogiri because she sees him as a human rather than an embodiment of death. Yogiri then takes her last name so that he has a full name, which signifies that she's his Parental Substitute.
- Might Makes Right: In the other world, being significantly strong is a free pass to do mostly whatever you want. Force people into servitude, kill people for slight misdemeanor or no reason at all and most won't bat an eye since they can't stop you. This especially goes for the Sages.
- Morph Weapon: Early on, a dying sentient Humongous Mecha gave Tomochika a shapeshifting material that can change into weapons or clothing on Mokomoko's command.
- Mugging the Monster: Many of the deaths that happened in this series are due to the fact that nobody really knew what they were getting into when they decided to attack Yogiri and Tomochika. Since Yogiri's ability isn't one of that world's Gifts, it doesn't show up on his status, so he seems like a very easy target.
- Mutually Assured Destruction: The organization that originally looked after Yogiri wanted to use him in order to give themselves a means to retaliate against other countries' nukes. However, there's not much they can do to really control him.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Sion was the one that unknowingly summoned Yogiri, making her responsible for the deaths of multiple Sages and her world now under constant threat by him. The scientist's praising of her for saving Earth is more akin to "He's your problem now!".
- No-Sell: The Sages can bless town guards to negate the Gifts of the otherworlders. This blessing doesn't work against Yogiri's Instant Death ability, which isn't a Gift.
- Not So Above It All: Tomochika usually comes off as more grounded and moral than her classmates, but her thought process can also be odd at times, such as when she's disappointed that Yogiri killed Masayuki before the latter could finish transforming.
- Oh, Crap!: This was the reaction of the laboratory team when Yogiri, tired of waiting for Asaka Takatou to return from vacation, decided to leave the underground village where he was imprisoned to go look for her. Everyone quickly realized that the only reason he hadn't escaped yet was because he hadn't tried before.
- One-Hit Kill: The story revolves around this. The protagonist has the ability to instantly kill anything with a thought, even gods, immortals, ghosts, and abstract or conceptual beings. Even beings with multiple layers of immortality and resistance to death manipulation can be killed by it.
- Outside-Context Problem: Most victims of the Isekai genre have powers granted to them when they reach the other world, but it turns out the Earth of this story has some oddities of its own that got dragged in along with the rest.
- Yogiri Takatou is the most obvious one. Rather than receiving his Instant Death powers from a Gift, he has always been the living embodiment of death and the end of all things, and his powers are always active no matter the realm. Even to the other Outside Context Problems in the story, Yogiri has no comparison, and any higher being that gleans his true nature is inevitably horrified that something like him can exist outside of their scope.
- The second is Tomochika Dannoura, Yogiri's closest friend. Rather than be given a Gift, her family practices Supernatural Martial Arts that helps her survive without one. She later fakes a Gift using a Morph Weapon granted by a dying Aggressor.
- The third is Ayaka Shinozaki. Also not given a Gift and also not human, she is actually a Ridiculously Human Robot with Mega Manning as a core function, built by the same institute that held Yogiri in the hopes of designing a being that could survive and co-exist with him despite his true nature.
- The fourth is Mei Hanamiya, whose powers come from a pair of Cat Gods. They were quarreling with each other and accidentally killed her in the crossfire, and granted her their power as an apology, giving her a new life on the other world. This makes her an odd case in that she was there before the class was even Isekai'd.
- Parental Substitute: Asaka Takatou is this to Yogiri who got his last name from her. She was assigned by the Institute to be Yogiri's caretaker but she began to genuinely raised him like her own son.
- Person of Mass Destruction: Yogiri's power allows him to kill anything, so he is careful to use his powers to not accidentally kill something important like gravity or space.
- Pieces of God: The philosopher's stones that fuel the sages' powers are pieces of a goddess who, thanks to Yogiri and Tomochika's efforts to return home, is beginning to unite to regain her true form.
- Poke in the Third Eye: The woman who was watching Yogiri on camera was very scared when he looked in her direction and asked her to open the door, the situation got worse when Yogiri started killing people who tried to stop her from opening the door.
- Powers That Be: In a series that focuses on many nigh-omnipotent Destroyer Deities and Eldritch Abominations, nothing can touch Yogiri's ability, for he's not just a Physical God but an avatar for the very idea of death and the inevitable end of all things.
- The Problem with Fighting Death: Yogiri is literally the concept of death incarnate and therefore unable to be killed without paradoxically killing the idea of death.
- Psychopathic Womanchild:
- Most, if not all Sages end up being a Psychopatic Man/Womanchild thanks to their massive magical ability.
- The Ultimate Extermination God, despite being the Top Goddess of the multiverse, is surprisingly childish. She takes the form of a young girl, uses a very "edgy kid" type title, goes about erasing universes on a whim because of how much she likes to spread death and destruction like a kid playing a shoot'em up video game, is very arrogant and prideful due to her status as the top goddess of the multiverse and believes she can do whatever she wants without repercussions, throws a temper tantrum over being sealed away before condemning the universe she was previously sealed within as deserving to be erased simply because it played a part in her sealing, and, at the end, reverts to a raving coward whining about how unfair it is she gets killed by Yogiri since she's supposed to be completely invincible and immortal and the most powerful being in existence and how she never knew anything in existence could possibly destroy her.
- Retail Therapy: After her first month being stuck with and having to care and "cook" for herself and Yogiri, Asaka engages in this when she is told she has vacation days and a large salary that she proceeds to spend on a shopping spree in the city which also involved eating a large steak and staying in a luxury suite.
- Reset Button: Happened after the UEG destroys the world in the end of book 11. Anyone killed, partially or fully, by Yogiri can't return though.
- Ret-Gone: Anyone Yogiri kills can never be returned to life, even via time travel.
- Roaring Rampage of Rescue: Downplayed, as he isn’t really angry, but Yogiri does this when it turns out his caretaker Asaka was kidnapped by an organization looking for information on him. Yogiri proceeds to break out of his containment level, kill everyone who tries to stop or hurt him, and rescues Asaka, all the while remaining casual and unconcerned without ever breaking stride.
- RPG Mechanics 'Verse: Characters often have a main-menu-like screen to facilitate their magical powers, and the "Battle Song" powers granted by the Sages resemble common videogame powers and perks. Of course, Yogiri has no need of them (as he fell asleep during the initiation and wasn't even granted one) and Tomochika was prevented by her ancestor so that the Sages couldn't control her.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: The witch Jet Black was one of the apostles sent to kill Yogiri, but unlike everyone else, she realized what she was getting into and wisely chose to listen to Yogiri's advice not to attack him.
- Semantic Superpower: Yogiri's power doesn't just kill anyone, it can end anything, including things that aren't actually alive.
- Smug Snake: The great sage was responsible for resetting the world to fix the damage caused by the UEG, but all the people who were killed by Yogiri had their existence completely erased and when he finally realized that he decided to reveal this fact to the whole world, turning everyone into enemies of Yogiri, while the Great Sage is under the illusion that he will be able to fix the damage caused by Yogiri.
- Spanner in the Works: All the planning that Vahanato did to free her husband from his prison was completely useless due to the fact that he was accidentally killed by Yogiri.
- Spider-Sense: Yogiri is able to know when something dangerous is about to happen through a black mist that gets stronger when closer to the danger in which it finds itself. It also allows him to know the location of people who demonstrate an intention to harm him.
- Spirit Advisor: Tomochika is followed by the spirit of Mokomoko Dannoura, her ancestor. She prevented a Gift from being bestowed upon Tomochika, since that power turns its users into ruthless killers and could give the Sages leverage over the user. She takes it upon herself to teach Tomochika their family's martial arts to help the latter survive.
- Spoiled Brat: The Ultimate Extermination God is an adult version of one, behaving like an entitled Psychopathic Womanchild who should have everything her way since she's the one true god of the multiverse.
- Stalker without a Crush: Ryouko Ninomiya and Carol S. Lane are government agents from the United States and Japan who were sent to the school to monitor Yogiri.
- Story-Breaker Power: Yogiri's combination of instantly killing anything and sensing killing intent makes him nigh-impossible to defeat.
- Summon Bigger Fish: Done unintentionally when Yogiri is summoned without the true extent of his power being known to the summoner.
- Too Dumb to Live: Anyone that challenges Yogiri, especially if they have just seen the boy taking out his opponents in one shot are just asking to die. Ryouko and the Institute actually fears this more than the Apocalypse Maiden himself as they expect the instigator to unknowingly drag countless lives into the conflict. Their fears become true when the other world Yogiri was summoned to tries to kill him to avenge those he'd taken only to be added into the death toll.
- Trapped in Another World: Yogiri's class is sent to another world, though this new world has both magic and technology due to the influence of previous transmigrators. In a twist, Yogiri's home world is no stranger to the supernatural. My Big Sister Lives in a Fantasy World, the author's other work in the same setting, has werebeasts, vampires, aliens, mages, and people who are Immune to Fate.
- Unblockable Attack: Yogiri's ability bypasses any sort of defense or resistance standing on its way, regardless of its nature or powers. Incoming attacks redirecting artifacts, legendary equipment and even immortality are not a problem for him.
- Undignified Death: The Ultimate Extermination God goes from the most powerful being in the multiverse and the top god of the setting to a cowardly womanchild whining about how she is supposed to be invincible and unkillable as she's erased from existence by Yogiri. How the Mighty Have Fallen doesn't begin to describe it.
- Villainous Breakdown: Anyone that goes up against Yogiri Takatou suffers a mental breakdown after discovering how overwhelmingly powerful he is.
- Vahanato goes into a psychotic rampage after her lover had been killed by Yogiri.
- Upon peering through Yogiri's true power with her Hero Killing Sight, Aoi drops to her knees in despair and vomits profusely. She never recovers from this incident.
- Weak, but Skilled: Tomochika Dannoura has no Gift or innate supernatural abilities, but is skilled in her family's martial arts.
- We All Die Someday: Yogiri is this personified. Whether you are human or god, mortal or immortal, living or non-living, all things have an end in some fashion, and Yogiri's power is to inflict it right then and there. The only thing he's unsure could actually die is himself, and that's because he's not keen on finding out if it'd work or how much the world would change without the concept of death.
- What the Hell, Hero?:
- Sion is far from being considered a hero, but when she continues to plan actions against Yogiri, even when she is told that he is more dangerous than she thinks, Aoi tells her to stop before she makes the situation worse.
Aoi: You! You summoned that thing! What the hell have you done?! Do you have any idea what you’ve summoned?! It’s over! This world is finished! Screw this, goddamnit! If you want to die so badly, go die! Don’t drag the whole world...don’t drag me into it!- A similar occurrence happens between Ryouko and Carol who are both agents in monitoring Yogiri. When Carol thinks about using Tomochika as a hostage to control Yogiri, Ryouko grabs her by the collar and yells into her face to not even attempt that as the last group that did that were all killed.
- Would Hit a Girl: Regardless of whoever threatening him and Tomochika being a Little Bit Beastly, a Cute Bruiser, a Hot Witch or a Battle Harem etc., Yogiri will see them as a threat and deal with them accordingly.
- Wouldn't Hurt a Child: Yogiri chooses to spare one of Yuuki Tachibana's girls who is just a child. However, in episode 6, another similarly young girl gets hit by his ability along with her team.
