!'''Dark Schneider and the Four Divine Kings'''

[[folder:In general]]
A long time ago, the legendary wizard Dark Schneider and his four disciples known as the Four Divine Kings, built a massive army known as the Dark Rebel Armies with the goal of world domination, waging war against the four great kingdoms in the process. During the invasion of the kingdom of Meta-llicana, Dark Schneider seemingly perished in battle, leaving the Dark Rebel Army without a leader and thus lead to the disbandment of the Four Kings. 15 years later, "Prophet of the Underworld" Abigail, one of the Four Kings, reformed the group and the army in hopes of conquering the world once again. This time, by breaking the four seals used to seal the God of Destruction Anthrasax, they plan to use her power to destroy civilization and rebuild it as a society where magic rules over all.
----
* EliteFour: The Four Divine Kings are a team comprised of sorcerers and warriors who each had sworn allegiance to D.S. after they were either defeated by him or taken under his wing. Even with D.S. no longer on their side, they still proved to be a powerful force, as by the beginning of the story they successfully took over the kingdom of [[Music/JudasPriest Judas]] and broke one of Anthrasax seals hidden inside the kingdom's castle.
* FourIsDeath
* FourTemperamentEnsemble:
** Sanguine: Gara
** Choleric: Arshes
** Melancholic: Kall-Su
** Phlegmatic: Abigail

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KazukiYao (Drama CD's & 1992 OVA), Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa (2012 DAXEL Pachinko game), Creator/KatsuyukiKonishi (2016 [=NewGin=] Pachinko game), Creator/KishowTaniyama (2022 ONA), Creator/DaranNorris (OVA, English dub), Creator/KyleMcCarley (2022 ONA, English dub, Uncredited), Creator/IrwinDaayan (Latin American Spanish, 2022 ONA)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/schneider_stand.png]]
The extremely handsome protagonist! An invincible demon! Dark Schneider is a legendary wizard who has strengthened his powers by reincarnating himself for over 400 years. After the great war, a seal was used on him once he reincarnated as a baby, but he was revived 15 years later. He’s a pompous and arrogant womanizer who answers to no one... except Yoko.

Named after the founder of Music/{{Accept}} and U.D.O. lead vocalist Udo Dirkschneider.
----
* TheAce: Handsome ladykiller, a ShowyInvincibleHero, and the TheArchmage. Yep, he counts and he knows it.
* AffectionateNickname: Nei calls him "Darsch". Likewise, he calls her "Arshe" in return. Yoko herself calls him "Lucien", the boy whose body he inhabits.
* TheArchmage: His large and varied arsenal of spells and nigh unmatched power makes him fit this in spades.
* BlackMagic: His preferred type of magic, fitting for a wizard as dangerous as him.
* CameBackWrong: To most of the Four Divine Kings, Dark Schneider had seemed to have gone incredibly soft, though it dawns on them it likely has something to do with the body of the boy he's inhabiting. [[TakeOurWordForIt One can only guess]] as to how much of a horny hell raiser D.S. was during those 15 years before his defeat and sealing compared to now.
* ChivalrousPervert: It's a rare moment where D.S will ''not'' make a pass or perverted comment at a female in his presence, both allies AND opponents, and NoSenseOfPersonalSpace is fully at work if he takes interest in a girl. Still, sexual abusers who make advances towards his female companions will get clobered in the face before they get to do anything and all of his partners are reciprocating/consenting to bedding him.
* CoolSword: Wields the Fire Sword, originally Efreet, a demon god of the Fire Elemental Plane. Those who can defeat Efreet will be his master and thus the only one who can wield his sword form. D.S. defeats him during his raid on Gara's temple.
* CuteLittleFangs: Very pronounced canine teeth, as befitting of [[TheTrickster a trickster]] like Dark Schneider.
* EvilLaugh: Is never seen without it.
* FullFrontalAssault: Has been stripped naked during battle, which does not impede him in anyway.
* GodzillaThreshold: Dark Schneider's summoning is to be treated as a last resort Hail Mary for the worst situations. At the start of the Manga, Meta-llicana is on the verge of defeat during a siege, forcing the young priestess Yoko to draw Dark Schneider out from her childhood friend Lucien with her virgin kiss. Little guarantees that Dark Schneider won't just turn his sorcery to blast Meta-llicana off the map himself. Nothing save for Lucien's own feelings of love for Yoko, which in turn may have caused Dark Schneider to hold feelings of his own for Yoko.
* HaremSeeker: Not at all shy about saying so. Its one of his stated end goals.
** Unsurprisingly, he also used to have a ''very'' massive one before being sealed, much to his current lovers chagrin.
* HeelFaceReincarnation: Schneider was reincarnated as an innocent boy. A kiss from a virgin allows Schneider to take over.
* HeroicBuild: Your average sorcerer wouldn't be packing the impressive physique Dark Schneider is packing. But of course, Dark Schneider is no average man.
* HeroicComedicSociopath: One of the earliest example in shounen manga, and boy is Darsch proud of this! A great majority of his antics are only as funny as they are because he does the kind of actions expected of a CardCarryingVillain while being the "hero of the story", thus [[CrossesTheLineTwice crossing the line twice]].
* {{Hunk}}: 192 cm(6'3) tall and as his numerous nude scenes show, he is totally ripped. Yep, he definitely counts.
* IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn: Any female, virgin or wench melts like butter on a hot skillet if they so much as get manhandled by him. Just ask Princess Sheila, who caught a nice ride off D.S.'s shoulders in a fireman's carry.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite his narcissism and general selfishness, Dark Schneider will usually do the right thing in the end.
* LargeAndInCharge: Previous EvilOverlord who is 192cm(6'3.6) tall.
* LargeHam: Picture Wrestling/ShawnMichaels playing Dungeons and Dragons and you have a pretty good idea of the kind of guy Dark Schneider is.
* LightningBruiser: Very fast, hard to put down, and hits like a tank with either brute strength or his magic.
* LoveRedeems: Perhaps? Nothing really seems to have stopped Dark Schneider's thirst for conquest in a bid to make every single woman on earth a part of his harem. But if nothing else, ever since his melding with Lucien and frequent unsealings he's come to know ThePowerOfFriendship and ThePowerOfLove in ''some'' form considering the loyalty he appears to show Yoko, her loved ones, and the [[DefeatMeansFriendship few members of the Dark Rebel Army he chooses to spare and allow to join his side.]]
* ManChild: The guy seems to be driven by his Id a majority of the time. And with nearly enough power to treat his surroundings as his own personal sandbox and ability to get what he wants when he wants it, who could blame him?
* MediumAwareness: Which he likes to incorporate into his trash talk.
-->'''Dark Schneider''': Two chapters for [[{{Mook}} you??]] Our readers are running for the exits!!
* MetalScream: The 2022 ONA notably gave Dark Schneider this whenever he screams, thanks to [[Creator/KishowTaniyama Kisho Taniyama]] being the vocalist for the rock band {{Music/GRANRODEO}}.
* MrFanservice: In nearly every battle his clothes ended up destroyed, leaving him naked and showcase his well-toned body. And he doesn't seem to mind.
* MysticalWhiteHair: A 400 year old powerful wizard with white hair.
* NakedFirstImpression: Transforms from the body of Lucien into a nude cackling white haired Adonis. Please have a moment of silence to mourn Yoko's poor virgin eyes.
** NakedPeopleAreFunny: Seems to enjoy peacocking around in the nude just because.
* NominalHero: His fight against the Dark Rebel Armies comes from the belief ''he'' should be the one to conquer the world, not them. At the start of the story he even considers putting this afair aside to get revenge for the seal place on him by Meta-llicana. He gets slightly better later on as he gets to care for and show loyalty to his companions - albeit while being just as arrogant and power-hungry as ever.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: At best, he'll [[PrincessCarry hoist you up]] [[OverTheShoulderCarry off the floor]] when you least expect it. If you ''really'' get his attention, you'll wind up questioning the concept of foreplay as you know it.
* NotInTheFace: Mark Dark Schneider in his handsome face in any capacity and you are goddamned dead.
* ParentalSubstitute: Was this to Arshes and Kall-Su.
* PlayingWithFire: Fitting his explosive personality, fire magic is one of his preffered element.
* Really700YearsOld: 400 years old, to be specific.
* ReallyGetsAround:
-->-'''Gara:'''" This ''is'' Dark Schneider we're talking about. The incarnation of lust! How many women do you think he's had in his lifetime?
-->-'''Yoko:''' "Um... About 10?"
-->-'''Gara:''' "Pffft! Ha ha ha ha!! He's like ''400 years old!'' Try 200 to 300!"
* ScrewTheRulesImBeautiful: Wanting to get to the bottom of [[LeakingCanOfEvil Dark Schneider seemingly being able to break out of Lucien's hold]] through sheer force of will, Grand Priest Geo asks the old crone seer who assisted him in sealing Dark Schneider 15 years ago to troubleshoot the seal. It is indeed working as intended. The only explanation is that Ino Mata, the divine goddess of love and beauty, may have been swayed by Dark Schneider. and even an evil, black hearted bastard like him may have slowly grown to know love in his heart. Geo can only stifle laughter at such a clichéd answer.
* ShowyInvincibleHero: Is well aware of it, and boy does he revel in it!
* ShockAndAwe: He's the one who taught Nei how to control lightning.
* SlasherSmile: Grins like a wolf, with the hunger to match.
* SoBeautifulItsACurse: Manages to invoke this trope for the mother of all humblebrags.
-->'''Dark Schneider''': "Why am I '''''so freaking strong??''''' So strong, and so incomparably beautiful!! Tell me, gods! Why do you place such a heavy burden on my shoulders??"
* SproutingEars: Occasionally sprouts a dog's ears and tail when he's excited, especially when Yoko is around. This is a trait passed down from Lucien.
* {{Tuckerization}}: Named after the founder of Music/{{Accept}} and U.D.O. lead vocalist Udo Dirkschneider.
* UnlimitedWardrobe: The first thing he usually does after transforming from Lucien is to slip into some new threads [[HammerSpace from seemingly out of nowhere]]. In the 2022 anime, he conjures up some through a low level spell instead.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: One of the earliest protagonist examples in manga. He has silvery white hair and has no qualms about announcing his intention to murder the priest who sealed him, and take over the world.
%%zce* WorldsStrongestMan: Definitely in the running for this spot.

[[folder:"Thunder Empress" Arshes Nei]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ReiSakuma (1992 OVA), Creator/MamiKoyama (Drama CD, episodes 1–3), Creator/YokoHikasa (2022 ONA), Creator/MaryElizabethMcGlynn (OVA, English dub), Creator/WendeeLee (2022 ONA, English dub), Marysol Lobo (Latin American Spanish, 2022 ONA), Pamela Mendoza (Latin American Spanish, 2022 ONA, young)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nei_stand.png]]
A half-elf born to a human and Dark Elf. Known as the “Thunder Empress,” she is a magic swordsman who casts lightning spells. A war orphan picked up by Dark Schneider, she was once like his daughter and lover, but now she is an adversary, being one of the Four Divine Kings of the Dark Rebel Armies.

Named after ''Earthshaker'', as in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthshaker_(band) the Japanese metal band]].
----
* AffectionateNickname: Dark Schneider calls her "Arshe". Likewise, she calls him "Darsch" in return.
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Dark skin, dark haired, and presents herself as TheStoic for the most part.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Was clearly ''not'' happy by Dark Schneider's womanizing, citing the large harem he had before his imprisonment as one of her many gripes with him in the present day.
* CoolSword: The Raijin-Ken, which can assume the form of demon god Nue of Wind Elemental Plane, who commands lightning and storm.
* DarkActionGirl: Zig-Zagged. She certainly fits the "Action Girl" part of the trope, being a powerful sorcerer and swordfighter that gives Dark Schneider his toughest fight yet at the point she's fought in the story and leaves Gara beaten up even after she had Raijin-Ken broken, but the "Dark" part is complicated: While she follows the Dark Rebel Armies, she only does so reluctantly, and between the FantasticRacism of her childhood and her dream of creating a "Sorcerer's Kingdom" of equality she comes off as more of a WellIntentionedExtremist at worst.
** ActionGirl: Graduates into this after D.S rescues her from the ''Accused'' spell and she joins up with the rest of his companions in Meta-llicana.
* ElementalEyeColors: Has green eyes, befitting how she has power over [[ShockAndAwe Lightning]] and [[BlowYouAway Wind.]]
* FantasticRacism: She was subjected to this due to her half-blood. Dark Schneider is the only one who truly cares for her. She believes in Kall-Su's dream of establishing "Sorcerer's Kingdom", a utopia ruled by magic where everyone is equal, regardless of race.
* HalfBreedDiscrimination: Suffered this in her youth, which motivates her desire to create the Sorcerer's Kingdom where one's race would be considered a non-issue.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Born with elf and human blood.
* LoveHurts: Nevermind the angst that comes from being romantically involved with her protector and father figure who's also cultivating a harem on the side, but as it turns out, [[spoiler: Abigail]] has marked Arshes with [[AnOfferYouCantRefuse the Cursed Nail of the Accused, which requires the blood of Dark Schneider's beating heart in order to break]]. Having to use Darsch's womanizing as her reasoning and motivation to try and kill him herself while still being unable to reconcile her own feelings, Arshes is very much a woman at war with herself.
* MagicKnight: Arshes is a MasterSwordswoman, as well as a powerful magician in her own right.
* OurElvesAreDifferent: One of the earliest example of a dark elf in manga.
* ShockAndAwe: There's a reason why she's known to many as "Thunder Empress". She learned it through D.S. himself.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only female member of the Four Divine Kings.
* {{Squee}}: Hearing Darsh brag, boast, trash talk and more or less cut promos on his foes ala pro wrestling elicits this reaction from Arshes.
* WifeHusbandry: Dark Schneider adopted Nei and then pursues a sexual relationship with her once she comes of age. (Of course, Dark Schneider isn't exactly meant to be a paragon of moral behavior...) Comes off as far-less squick since, being a DarkFantasy setting, they're both pretty much immortal by definition (one being a demi-deific sorcerer, the other being a half-blood dark elf) - at the very least, they each have potential lifespans that reach well into multiple millennia, so the years matter less.

[[folder:"Ninja Master" Gara]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TesshoGenda (1992 OVA), Creator/HirokiYasumoto (2022 ONA), Creator/SteveBlum (OVA, English dub), Aaron [=LaPlante=] (2022 ONA, English dub), Oscar Flores (Latin American Spanish, 2022 ONA)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gara_stand.png]]
One of the Four Divine Kings of the Dark Rebel Armies. Gara is a ninja master who wields the Murasame Blade and leads an army of thousands of dark ninjas. Though tough and free-spirited, he is manly and takes good care of others.

Named after the co-founders of British metal band [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raven_(British_band) Raven]], brothers John and Mark Gallagher
----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Takes Yoko's PervertRevengeMode bouts in good humor.
* AffablyEvil: Pretty jovial for a deadly ninja.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Gets an entire episode dedicated to showing how badass he is in the 2022 ONA, having to fight [[spoiler: Arshes Nei in Dark Schneider's absence]].
* AssassinOutclassin: How he met and joined Dark Schneider, where he attempted to assassinate the immortal wizard only to join him after failing.
* TheBeastMaster: Has his share of creatures under his command, from a Wyvern, to Lars, a baby dragon, to slime which he utilizes for [[TheNudifier humiliation rituals for the purposes of torture]].
* {{BFS}}: His sword Murasame is a nodachi that's about as long as he is tall.
* TheBigGuy: Serving as this role amongst Dark Schneider's cohorts.
* BloodKnight: Gaara ''loves'' a good fight, especially against tougher opponents. In fact, this passion for fighting is what got D.S. to recruit him in the first place.
* CoolSword: His Murasame Blade.
* CombatCommentator: Not him but the Ninja {{Mooks}} under his command.
* DefeatEqualsFriendship: Joined Dark Schneider after being defeated by him following a failed assassination attempt.
* EasilyForgiven: Despite subjecting Yoko to that little striptease torture of his, Yoko holds no animosity towards Gara.
-->'''Yoko:''' Gara may be a pervert, but he's not a badguy.
* FuumaShuriken: He uses this to fend off hordes of goblins as they were attacking Meta-llicana Castle.
* GroinAttack: Not 4 words into his introducing himself to Yoko does he receive a kick to the crotch. He shrugs it off surprisingly fast.
* HighlyVisibleNinja: Gara is anything but stealthy. Not only is he a 7'7, 320lbs man, but he also throws shurikens the size of an aircraft tire and wields Murasame Blade, a legendary 2-metre-long katana. He also has a knack for making long, drawn out speeches before a fight (so drawn out his allies don't even wait for him to finish and attack their opponent before he's done). His [[BloodKnight Blood Knight]] mentality certainly did not help.
* {{Hunk}}: He's muscular, tall, and quite the looker.
* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Ponders going through with it to Yoko more than once upon capturing her. The worst he ends up doing is [[TheNudifier siccing his pet slime on her]] as an interrogation method while he's attempting to get to the bottom of Dark Schneider's revival.
* IFightForTheStrongestSide: Prior to becoming one of the Four Divine Kings, Gara was a ninja mercenary working under orders from a king to kill Dark Schneider. After witnessing firsthand what this wizard is capable of and learning about his mindset, Gara disregard his mission and joins him right then and there.
* ItAmusedMe: Gara does whatever amuses him the most. He plainly tells Arshes that he doesn't believe in whatever fake utopia the Divine Kings think they are fighting for and admits that he only switched to Dark Schneider's side because it was fun for him.
* MasterSwordsman: Gara is the best swordsman among the Four Divine Kings next to Arshes.
* MightMakesRight: He's a firm believer in this. Since childhood, his dream is to become the strongest ninja alive, and Dark Schneider's pursuit of power fascinates him enough that he agreed to join him as part of the Dark Rebel Armies.
* {{Mook}}: Each of the Four Divine Kings commands their own set of army. In Gara's case, he leads the Dark Ninja Army, which consists of loyal soldiers [[GreekChorus who provides commentary on the battles they happen to be witnessing.]]
* {{Ninja}}: Gara has all the traits of a classic ninja in fiction; nimble and fast, wears black clothing, used shuriken and kunai in addition to his sword, and is able to use ninjutsu techniques such as [[DoppelgangerAttack creating clones.]] This makes him unique amongst the Four Divine Kings, who are predominantly sorcerers.
* PerpetualSmiler: The most jovial of the Four Divine Kings by far.
* PostRapeTaunt: Tries to get under Dark Schneider's skin by bluffing and ''[[OverlyLongGag very colorfully]]'' [[HurricaneOfEuphemisms implying that]] he rendered Yoko into used goods. Rather than demotivate or throw D.S. off his game, he royally pisses him off enough to gain a HeroicSecondWind.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: As a 230cm (7'7) tall and muscular {{Hunk}} he is this without a doubt.
* ToughSpikesAndStuds: Gara is a powerful and muscular swordsman with spiked pauldrons.

[[folder:"Frost Wizard" Kall-Su]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ToshihikoSeki (1992 OVA), Creator/RyoHorikawa (Drama CD, episodes 1–3), Creator/ShinichiroMiki (Drama CD, episode 4), Creator/KenshoOno (2022 ONA), Creator/RichardCansino (OVA, English dub), Creator/AlejandroSaab (2022 ONA, English dub), Miguel Angel Leal (Latin American Spanish, 2022 ONA)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kall_stand.png]]
One of the Four Divine Kings of the Dark Rebel Armies who used to be Dark Schneider’s right-hand man and best friend. A formidable sorcerer who yields ice magic, his powers are equal to that of his former pal. In order to create a “Sorcerer’s Kingdom,” a utopia ruled by magic, he invades the four kingdoms to resurrect Anthrasax, the God of Destruction.

Named after [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Moon_Rising_(band) Bad Moon Rising's]] vocalist Kal Swan.
----
* BigBadDuumvirate: Filling this role alongside Abigail, with the end goal being to break the seal that imprisons the Dark God of Destruction, Anthrasax.
* DragonAscendant: He became this for ''Hell's Requiem'' arc, [[spoiler:once Abigail is defeated at the end of ''Dark Rebel Armies'' arc]]. By the time the new arc begins, he has conquered many lands and commanding a squad of twelve powerful wizards.
* ElementalEyeColors: Has IcyBlueEyes, befitting his title as the Frost Wizard and the greatest master of ice magic in the setting.
* AnIcePerson: Master of ice magic, which is how he got his title. [[spoiler: It also foreshadows his ice dragon blood]]
* LightIsNotGood: White hair, IcyBlueEyes and dressed with a white cloak, also one of the more ruthless antagonists.
* {{Utopia}}: His dream is to build a nation where magic rules over all. A place where everyone is equal, regardless of their status. He names it "Sorcerer's Kingdom".

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/abigail_stand.png]]
A dark cleric known as the “Prophet of the Underworld,” Abigail is one of the Four Divine Kings of the Dark Rebel Armies. He uses sorcery to control his “Rotten Army” of undead beings. Together with Kall-Su, he invades Meta-llicana in hopes of resurrecting Anthrasax, the God of Destruction.

Named after the Music/KingDiamond [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abigail_(album) album]] of the same name.
----
* BigBadDuumvirate: Filling this role alongside Kall-Su, with the end goal being to break the seal that imprisons the Dark God of Destruction, Anthrasax.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: According to Kazushi Hagiwara in Volume 7 of ''Bastard!!'', he based Abigail's look after the actor Kyusaku Shimada.
* EvilLaugh: To the point of parody. Kall-Su certainly isn't impressed, and at one point Abigail is [[ArtShift rendered in goofy scribbles]] and ends his EvilGloating by remarking that he's been laughing so hard that his ribs hurt.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Has this energy going for him.
* GenderBlenderName: Abigail is usually a girl's name.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Unlike the rest of the Four Divine Kings who seek to control Anthrasax as a tool to bring forth a utopia tailor made for the magically inclined, Abigail is much more interested in the mass destruction Anthrasax can bring.
* OneWingedAngel: His Omega Abigail form, which requires combining the powers of the three Legendary Demonic Artifacts[[labelnote: Note]]Demon Mail, Devil Mace, and Satan Ring[[/labelnote]] with the essence of Anthrasax within him.
* VillainousCheekbones: Are more noticeable whenever he performs a n EvilLaugh.

!'''Arshes Nei's Three Sorcerer Generals'''

[[folder:Sean Ari]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/WakanaYamazaki (1992 OVA), Creator/AriOzawa (2022 ONA), Dyanne [=DiRosario=] (OVA, English dub), Creator/CarrieKeranen (2022 ONA, English dub), Nycolle Gonzalez (Latin American Spanish, 2022 ONA)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sean_stand_5.png]]
One of the Three Sorcerer Generals who makes spiders appear with her talismanic magic. Under orders from Nei, she is out to assassinate Dark Schneider. She doesn’t have much experience with men, and she is loyal and has a pure heart.

Her name is a reference to [[Music/DiamondHead Diamond Head]] vocalist Sean Harris.
----
* AdaptationExpansion: The 2022 anime adaptation did this to both her and Kai Harn.[[spoiler:The two were teased during Dark Schneider's battle against Omega Abigail, then eventually helping the heroes out once it's clear Abigail is still alive.]]
* ArentYouGoingToRavishMe: Inverted. After Dark Schneider successfully seduces her, it turns out he [[spoiler: stopped at third base, getting a ridiculous reaction from Sean Ari by nibbling on her ear and spends the rest of the episode wondering why he didn't just waltz his way past third base over to home.]]
* TheBeastMaster: Able to summon spiders using her talisman.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: Massive tatantulas big enough to grapple a man to his doom.
* DefectingForLove: How Dark Schneider manages to best her. See NoGuyWantsAnAmazon below.
* HoneyTrap: In her attempt to assassinate D.S., she disguises herself as a lord's daughter to lure him in. She nearly succeeded.
* TheImmodestOrgasm: Her first time with Dark Schneider is not subtle to say the least - Lars in particular is left in shock from the sound of it alone. [[spoiler: Hilariously, it's revealed not long after that the two never actually had penetrative sex and she had that reaction from ''having her ear nibbled on''.]]
* NoGuyWantsAnAmazon: Became her biggest worry after learning of Talisman and Charm magic from Arshes Nei. Dark Schneider finds her adorable regardless.
* OutOfFocus: The '92 OVA infamously made her not doing much other than being one of Nei's followers. Her skill was never brought up once, and she didn't even get her own fight scene!
* PaperTalisman: Her main method of casting spells.
* SummonMagic: Summons several monsters with her talismans to fight for her.
* SquishyWizard: Downplayed, but she primarily fights from afar with her talismans and SummonMagic compared to the other Sorcerer Generals who mix it up with magic and melee in equal measure.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Girly Girl to Kai's Tomboy.

[[folder:Kai Harn]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukoKobayashi (1992 OVA), Creator/ShizukaIto (2022 ONA), Debra Jean Rogers (OVA, English dub), Creator/KayleighMcKee (2022 ONA English dub), Danann Huicoechea (Latin American Spanish, 2022 ONA)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kai_stand.png]]
One of the Three Sorcerer Generals. She casts Ancient Language Spells that turn her enemies into stone. Like Nei, she uses the orthodox sword techniques of the Hariken School and is a proud magic swordsman. She despises men and believes in the strong bond of the Sorcerer Generals. Under Nei’s orders, she takes on Dark Schneider.

Her name is a reference to Kai Hansen, former singer of Music/{{Helloween}} and leader of [[Music/GammaRay Gamma Ray]].
----
* AdaptationExpansion: The 2022 anime adaptation did this to both her and Sean Ari.[[spoiler:The two were teased during Dark Schneider's battle against Omega Abigail, then eventually helping the heroes out once it's clear Abigail is still alive.]]
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Has the tannest skin after Arshes out of all the main girls which is never commented on.
* AnimeHair: Her hairstyle is this to add to her androgynous appearance. Stands out compared to the more realistic hairstyles of the other girls.
* ArmoredVillainsUnarmoredHeroes: Inverted as she's first shown in armor while as an antagonist, but after her HeelFaceTurn dresses in the more Stripperiffic outfits as the other females.
* TheBeastMaster: Kai can summon a Cockatrice as her trump card and controls it through a dark crystal - unlike her usual petrification magic the Cockatrice's petrification is not linked to any god, which means Dark Schneider can't just negate it by evoking his own pacts made with them. [[HoistByHerOwnPetard Too bad for her that a gust of wind would change the direction of the Cockatrice's breath in the last second]]...
* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Her hair and and eyes are both blue.
* DefeatByModesty: Seemingly averted at first, D.S blows away her armor with an attack and leaves her on her undergarments, which only seems to piss her off and make her bring out her trump card against him. Played straight later on as her Cockatrice's stone breath misfires at her and she's hit by Dark Schneider's magic while distracted, whereupon her undergarments are ''also'' ripped off and she's defeated, though the wounds (and infection) she got didn't help her situation.
* DoesNotLikeMen: She despises men. That is until Dark Schneider shows her that men aren't so bad after all. In his own way, that is...
* EtTuBrute: Has this reaction to Sean Ari fighting alongside Dark Schneider against her.
* HiddenBuxom: With her armor on, Dark Schneider actually mistakes her for being a pretty boy. Once her armor is destroyed, her ample bosom makes him realize right away that she is a woman.
* HoistByHerOwnPetard: She summons a Cockatrice as a last-ditch effort to bring down Dark Schneider. While its petrification breath has a very wide area of effect, a change of wind direction is enough for the gas to backfire on her. Then as she frantically tries to avoid it, she drops her magic crystal, which she uses to control the creature, causing it to go on a rampage and injure her.
* TheImmodestOrgasm: After the SuckOutThePoison moment mentioned below.
* KamehameHadoken: Does this pose when firing her Dio spell to try and kill Dark Schneider while he's being petrified.
* MagicKnight: Kai is a master of Hariken School's swordsmanship style and is skilled in high ancient magic.
* OreOnna: The most tomboyish woman in the series, and speaks in a decidedly masculine manner and pronouns in the original Japanese dub.
* RestrainingBolt: Has a crystal that she uses to control her cockatrice. When the crystal is broken, it starts rampaging out of her control and nearly kills her.
* SamusIsAGirl: Dark Schneider initially mistakes her for a young male warrior fighting to white knight Sean Ari after her defeat.
* SuckOutThePoison: Much like what Princess Sheila did to him, this is how D.S. treats Kai's wound. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Which happens to be located just slightly above her waist.]]
* SummonMagic: Her trump card is summoning a Cockatrice to try and petrify Dark Schneider.
* TakenForGranite: Her magic is able to turn anyone into stone. She also summons a Cockatrice with a BreathWeapon of similar properties to do so on a large scale.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Tomboy to Sean's Girly Girl, to the point that D.S. initially mistakes her for a young male warrior during their fight.
* WreckedWeapon: Dark Schneider destroys her sword in the same blow he destroys her armor.
* YouJustToldMe: Kai Harn gets so caught up in a rage with Sean Ari's betrayal and [[DeclarationOfProtection vow to protect D.S. at the risk of her life]] that she vows to cut down Sean Ari herself, all the while accidentally [[OhMyGods swearing by her patron god of war]] [[{{Music/YngwieMalmsteen}} Yng Wie]] outloud to do it. Dark Schneider uses this knowledge to querie the gods related to Yng Wie and override his stoning.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amon_stand02.png]]
One of the Three Sorcerer Generals, Di-amon is a muscular immortal vampire. He is a “True Forefather,” making him the most powerful immortal in existence. In order to exceed Nei and Kall’s powers, he collects the blood of virgins. His appearance is marked by his bulging muscles and gaudy makeup.

Named and modeled after [[Music/KingDiamond King Diamond]].
----
* ActorAllusion: Creator/TakehitoKoyasu [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure once again]] voices an evil vampire in an 80s fantasy series chock full of violence and musical references.
* TheBeastMaster: He has a werewolf servant, whose human form looked like a bootleg D.S. with an eyepatch.
* EyeBeams: His signature "Vampire Assassin" beam atatck.
* TheIgor: He has one named Jodoh. [[RunningGag Whenever the poor sap screws up in anyway,]] [[ButtMonkey he will get his blood sucked as punishment]]. Not that the Count likes the taste given that he prefers virgin blood.
* LargeHam: Just as bombastic as D.S. himself.
* TheJuggernaut: As a vampire, he's functionally immortal (which he loves to remind the audience of) and can take Darsh's spells and Sean and Kai's attacks on him like they're nothing. Of course, as expected of a vampire he is also vulnerable to [[WeakenedByTheLight their most well-known weakness]] as pointed out below.
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: How D.S eventually deals with him. Since Di-amon is immortal, D.S.instead casts the Accused spell on him, cursing him to turn into a toad should he ever fail to heed D.S.'s orders. [[spoiler: Also serves as a bit of {{Foreshadowing}} of Arshes Nei's own situation]].
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Originally a wizard before becoming a vampire to gain more power. Like many vampires, he's able to turn into a bat and is weak to sunlight.
* TheStarscream: Secretly plots to overthrow Arshes Nei and Kall-Su.
* VirginPower: His source of power is the blood he drank from the many virgins he kidnaps.
** DoesNotLikeSpam: Cannot stand the taste of blood from a non-virgin.
* WeakenedByTheLight: As a vampire, he cannot witstand the sunlight and will be killed or at least forced into his bat form in order to regenerate if exposed to it.

!'''The Kingdom of Meta-llicana/Meta-Ricana'''

[[folder:Tia Noto Yoko]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Yuka Koyama (1992 OVA), Creator/TomoriKusunoki (2022 ONA), Creator/WendeeLee (OVA, English dub), Creator/ErinYvette (2022 ONA English dub)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yoko_stand.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350: [[labelnote:Click here to see Yoko after a two-year timeskip]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yoko2_stand.png]][[/labelnote]]
Yoko is the daughter of Grand Priest Geo of Meta-llicana Kingdom. She grew up with Lucien and loves him dearly. In order to save the kingdom from crisis, she breaks Dark Schneider’s seal with her virgin kiss and a magical spell. A righteous woman, she’s always chastising the vulgar Dark Schneider.
----
* {{Bokukko}}: Speaks this way in the original Japanese dub.
* CuteLittleFangs: Which usually show up any time Yoko is angry or indignant
* FashionableAsymmetry: Wears a single stocking on her left leg while the other is bare.
* MediumAwareness: She'll really let D.S. have it whenever he fails to conduct himself the way the main character of a shonen manga would. In the manga itself she even mentions that his whole scoundrel routine, especially [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace where sexual]] [[ThanksForTheMammary impropriety is]] concerned, is causing the female readership to flood the Shonen Jump inboxes with hate mail.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Her treatment in Gara's ninja castle, especially in the OVA where the poor girl is left to thrash around dangling from the rafters in an unfastened cloth so she can watch D.S. and Gara fight.
-->"Ooh, not again!! (The cloth flutters off her shoulders) ... Could one of you ninjas get that?"
* PervertRevengeMode: Responsible for many, many, ''[[RunningGag many]]'' instances of this against Dark Schneider, who [[ChivalrousPervert being who he is]] never learns his lesson, though he's not the only one vulnerable to this, as a group of [[AccidentalPervert Meta-Llicana soldiers that are unfortunate enough]] to enter in on her [[MakesSenseInContext hugging Lucien while naked]] learn.
** While in Yoko and Lucien's bedroom, Gara gets Yoko's foot slammed in his face for threatening to make his interrogation tactics get sexual.
* ShamefulStrip: Gets a slime set on her by Gara as an interrogation method.
* SkewedPriorities: Was very reluctant to undo the seal on Dark Schneider at first out of embarrassment.
** While thankful that Dark Schneider had gone out of his way to rescue her from Gara's ninja castle, [[GreenEyedMonster she's pretty miffed to find out]] Lucien had Princess Sheila draw out Dark Schneider.
* SwiperNoSwiping: Logically all Yoko can do to stop the shenanigans of a hell raiser like Dark Schneider besides kissing him back into Lucien would be to DopeSlap him and shame him out of carrying out any of his plans, some of which includes revenge against her father, the Grand Priest Geo Noto Yoko who was responsible for sealing D.S. into Lucien in the first place. To the surprise of everyone, it usually works, possibly because of Lucien's influence on Dark Schneider.
* {{Tsundere}}: As Dark Schneider's hapless priestess handler, Yoko has to take on a stern and belligerent attitude to keep him in line and put up with his insane antics. She especially likes annoying the sorcerer by [[WeaknessTurnsHerOn displaying a preference of Lucien over him]] by saying she and Dark Schneider are JustFriends compared to what could possibly describe her relationship with Lucien.
* TookALevelInBadass: Her major development in ''Hell's Requiem'' arc. After failing to awaken Dark Schneider inside of Lucien for two whole years, Yoko took it upon herself to improve her magic skill so she can not only defend herself, but also be more involved in defending Aian Meide from invaders in Schneider's absence.
* VirginPower: Well, 80% virgin, which is virgin enough to transform Lucien into Dark Schneider and back again.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/renlen_stand.png]]
A war orphan adopted by Geo, Lucien grew up with Yoko as if he were her little brother. He acts and talks in a childish manner, but the legendary wizard Dark Schneider is sealed in his body.
----
* AnywhereButTheirLips: Yoko's maternal pecks on the cheek won't bring out Dark Schneider.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Docile and gentle to a fault, and is an easy target for anyone in Meta-Llicana that tries to bully out of sight of Yoko.
* ChildrenDoTheHousework: Loves doing laundry. Though to Yoko's chagrin Lucien occasionally handles her underwear.
* KiddieKid: Comes of as more of a toddler than the 14 year old he's meant to be, implying that being so close to Yoko has left him especially spoiled.
* OlderThanTheyLook: He's 14 but looks and acts like a 7 year old. Even after a Main/TimeSkip he still looks like an elementary schooler. [[spoiler:He does look more his age when he reveals his true form, however.]]
* RestrainingBolt: Lucien may or may not be influencing Dark Schneider's decision making and alliances. Much of the Four Divine Kings feel like Dark Schneider has gone soft compared to what he was like before his fusing into Lucien's body.
* SealedEvilInACan: Is the can for D.S. [[spoiler: but also for Lucifer, his true identity]].
** LeakingCanOfEvil: As the series goes on, it becomes much easier for D.S. to break free, to the point that he can also break free from containment whenever something '''''royally''''' pisses off Lucien, such as bearing witness to any harm done to Yoko.
* SleepModeSize: Played with. Its not just as simple as Lucien's body keeping Dark Schneider contained and sealed away. Dark Schneider is also able to take over the steering wheel while in Lucien form whenever Lucien literally falls asleep, and can just as easily lose control if something shakes the boy awake.
* SproutingEars: He sprouts dog ears on occasion when feeling playful with Yoko, and [[GotMeDoingIt tends to get D.S. doing it too.]]

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sheila_stand.png]]
The beautiful princess of Meta-llicana Kingdom, known for her long black hair. She is proud of her royal upbringing and has a strong sense of responsibility but is quite naïve. She is subject to the mercy of Dark Schneider’s whims but eventually falls for him.
----
* ActionDuo: Her and Dark Schneider while rescuing Yoko from Gara's hideout. They probably would have resembled a LadyAndKnight were it not for Dark Schneider's utter [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace inability to respect her boundaries.]]
* DefiledForever: Ends up getting ''very'' aroused while being hoisted around and manhandled by Dark Schneider against her wishes, to the point that she no longer feels like she's marriage material. [[MissConception She even shouts at him to "take responsibility"]] when D.S. quips about her heavy breathing.
* EscortMission: While tasking Dark Schneider with Yoko's rescue, Princess Sheila absolutely refused to stay in Meta-Llicana and let the scheming, conniving Dark Schneider out of her sight. She inadvertently causes this problem for D.S. as a result, and to bypass those complications, Dark Schneider decides to literally carry her through most of Gara's ninja stronghold
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Unsurprising that a princess would wear purple when not in her ceremonial role.
* TheImmodestOrgasm: Downplayed, but while she's being carried on D.S.'s shoulders she has a very hard time not yelping in arousal while her crotch keeps being rubbed on Dark Schneider's ladder climbing arm.
-->'''Princess Sheila''': A-Ahn~
-->'''Dark Schneider''': Hold still!
-->'''Princess Sheila''': Ah- y-yes...
-->(They finally reach the top of the ladder)
-->'''Princess Sheila''': P-please, put me down...
* LeeroyJenkins: Not at all very cautious, being a naive princess out of her element in Gara's ninja hideout. Dark Schneider finds her suggestion to go '''''through the main gate''''' absolutely adorable, but he ends up getting a slash in the abdomen from a possessed, poisoned sword when [[SchmuckBait Sheila ventures to pick it up without thinking twice.]]
* LivingMacguffin: Holds one of the seals of Anthrasax within her person.
* TheLoad: InvokedTrope. Dark Schneider is well aware she's not the fighting type and asks her to strip off her armor and sidearm as not to slow the party infiltrating Gara's hideout down. The instant Sheila slaps D.S. in protest to [[SkirtsAndLadders being told "ladies first" in front of a ladder]], Dark Schneider immediately hoists her butt up on his shoulders like a shepherd carrying a lost lamb. Despite this treatment, she does a great job at distracting the Suzuki Dogezaemon long enough for Dark Schneider to blast it to death.
* ShamefulStrip: Sheila complies without complaint when Dark Schneider asks her to get rid of her sword and armor, much to the dismay of Bon Jovina and his knights. She seems to be second guessing this compliance [[PantyShot once she starts tugging downward on her tunic]].
* SkirtsAndLadders: Protests about being asked to climb a ladder first before D.S. in Gara's stronghold. Dark Schneider refuses to put up with this display of princess daintiness and [[OverTheShoulderCarry immediately plants her ass over his shoulder in a fireman's carry]] while he climbs up, leaving her more hot and bothered than if she had just gone along with "ladies first" instead.
* SuckOutThePoison: Played for eroticism as much as it is for drama. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Dark Schneider even presses down on her head with his hand and asks her to suck the wound just above his hip harder.]]

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lars_stand.png]]
Lars is a baby dragon who, for some reason, can speak and communicate with only Dark Schneider. Though once a companion of Gara, he started to accompany Dark Schneider after his resurrection. It seems there is history between the two...

[[spoiler:It was later revealed that he's the crown prince of Meta-llicana and brother of Princess Sheila; Lars Ul Meta-llicana, who fought Dark Schneider 15 years prior.]]
----
* AnimeHair:[[spoiler: Had this in his human form.]]
* ButtMonkey: Most comedic scenes involving him has he criticizing Dark Schneider's actions and plans until it ends with him getting [[AmusingInjuries smacked right in the face]] for his trouble.
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: [[spoiler:His current dragon appearance was a result of a curse from using the Prototype Dragon Knight armor to fight against Dark Schneider.]]
* FairyCompanion: Sort of fills this role for D.S. despite being a baby dragon.
* NoHeroToHisValet: Has absolutely no problems with telepathically busting Dark Schneider's chops, even if it earns him a retaliatory boot or two.
* PracticallyDifferentGenerations: [[spoiler:To his younger sister Sheila as he was shown to be in his late teens/easrly adult years when he fought Dark Schneider 15 years ago when she would have been a toddler at the time at most.]]
* TalkingAnimal: Downplayed, he can talk and communicate using telepathy but he's only able to do that with Dark Schneider - to everyone else he just warbles.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: [[spoiler: In his real human form, he used to be a handsome young man with black hair and was 186 cm tall.]]
* WarriorPrince: [[spoiler: Is revealed to be Sheila's older brother Lars, the former Crown Prince who previously fought Dark Schneider to a standstill 15 years ago.]]
* WasOnceAMan: [[spoiler:Was the human Prince of Meta-llicana, but was transformed into his baby dragon form as a result of a DangerousForbiddenTechnique he used to beat Dark Schneider 15 years ago.]]
* YouRemindMeOfX: The knights escorting Yoko during the Lucien recovery mission remark that it's funny and a bit ironic that this baby dragon shares a name with Princess Sheila's brother, Lars Ul Meta-llicana. 15 years prior, this Lars used forbidden magic to become the Dragon Knight in order to fight Dark Schneider on equal terms. This sacrifice [[NeverFoundTheBody which presumably cost his own life]] and paved the way to Dark Schneider's sealing made him a legend to the kingdom of Meta-llicana.

Anthrasax is a bizarre-looking evil god created in the old world. She nearly destroyed the planet in the past, but has since been sealed by Meta-llicana and the other three kingdoms. She is the dark God of Destruction that the Dark Rebel Armies are plotting to resurrect.

Named after Music/{{Anthrax}}.
----
* BigBad: She's the reason why the world of ''Bastard!!'' become the way it is, and the Dark Rebel Armies actively tries to find a way to break her seal so she can wreak havoc once again.
* MadeOfEvil: Stated to have been brought forth by humanity's malice and darkness and exists as part of these "qualities", though she's not dependant on them and averts GodsNeedPrayerBadly, having no problem almost annihilating life in the planet once she came to be.
* NighInvulnerability: A scene unique to the intro of the 2022 ONA has Anthrasax being attacked by air bombardments, tanks, artillery and more coming from what is presumably an entire modern army worth of weaponry, resulting in a [[SarcasmMode grand total]] of no damage whatsover to her. It took divine intervention for her to be defeated, and even then, she was only sealed, not truly killed.
