History Characters / BlueExorcistIlluminati

* BatmanGambit: Pulls one off by obtaining both demon eyes through a bit of [[ManipulativeBastard manipulation]] and [[TheTrickster trickery]], then using them to deliberately awaken the [[SealedEvilInACan Impure King]]. He knew that this would cause Tatsuma to show up and try to defeat the Impure King using his familiar Kurara. This weakened Tatsuma, allowing Toudou to kill him (who was saved by a revived Karura) and allow him to eat Karura to gain his power. It had all gone according to plan.

* [[spoiler:MadScientist: Is in charge of the Illuminati’s science operations.]]

* {{Gonk}}: He has a very squat design which suits him ''[[TropesAreTools perfectly]]'' since it makes him look like a [[FatBastard very fat]] [[PsychopathicManChild child]] instead of a normal adult, he is even shorter than Izumo's mother when he is standing next to her sitting in a wheelchair.

* BigEntrance:
** Makes projections of lights and [[spoiler:destroys the barrier around the academy]] when he appeared.
** Even later when [[spoiler: introducing himself personally to Yukio]] he makes a big entrance despite the circumstances!

* BlessedWithSuck: The most powerful of the Kings with only Satan potentially surpassing him, yet his bodies quickly [[SuperPowerMeltdown degrade within ten years]] [[{{Reincarnation}} only to gain a new human form]] to repeat the cycle. In the meantime, he always has to be on life support just to keep his body going. He clearly felt the perks weren't worth the suffering, see SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum for more below.

* DarkLordOnLifeSupport: Though only seen in the shadows in the beginning, it is heavily assumed that, during his preparation for his BigEntrance, he's shown to have been connected to a heart monitor and IV drip. [[spoiler: When we do see all of him it's clear his condition is ''much'' worse than what was implied before.]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Expresses utter disgust towards [[spoiler:Gedouin and his cruelty before vaporizing him for his disobedient actions]].
* IllBoy: He's ''still'' in bad shape and spends a lot of his speech pausing to [[IncurableCoughOfDeath cough]]. Now the fans have to wonder what can make a ''demon'' that ill... [[spoiler: Judging by what he tells his scientists about making a "perfect body for his father" he might just be suffering a weaker version of [[SuperPowerMeltdown Satan's tendency of destroying his hosts]], like what Amaimon displayed before by releasing his Demon Heart.]]
* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: Vaporizes Gedouin for disobeying him one too many times. The little man definitely had it coming]].

* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Shows this [[spoiler: when he personally talks to Yukio.]]
* PossessionBurnOut: His is the worst among the Demon Kings barring Satan because he's that strong. His bodies don't last ten years.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The spy that Lightning and Angel interrogates breaks when [[spoiler: Lightning threatens to harm his wife and child.]]
* TheMole: Their main purpose for the order is to infiltrate and keep tabs on the Order of the True Cross, so far there are two in the Vatican itself and one in the Japanese branch. [[spoiler: For tropes specific to the Japan Branch mole see Renzou Shima in the Cram School Student's section.]]

** Second one: In their next confrontation, Saburota says that [[spoiler: Yukio's father and brother are what have defined his paths in life and that he had no real choice in his path, leading him to despise his brother for having no idea what agony he went through. Yukio admits that he does love and hate his brother, but above all else he hates himself the most]].
** THIRD one: Following his discovery of Yukio's [[OccultBlueEyes blue eyes]] (after almost killing him) and after Yukio thought Saburota was destroyed, [[FromASingleCell Saburota regenerates]] and comments that self-loathing is the first step to becoming a demon and that Yukio's true nature is that of a demon. [[RageBreakingPoint Yukio has had enough of Toudou by this point]]]].

* SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum: [[spoiler:He threatened to destroy the entire world and everything on it because of the pain he suffers from repeatedly dying. Mephisto managed to stop him by finding a means to use clone bodies or the elixir of immortality.]]
* SuperPowerMeltdown: [[spoiler:He pushed his human host just a bit too much with his big entrance and it caused him to cough up some blood. Even showing up in Assiah to ''talk'' for a short period of time causes his human body to brake down like his father does, despite still being hooked up to everything meant to keep him stable.]]
* TearsOfBlood: [[spoiler: Shortly after showing his human face for a brief time to speak with his subordinates he started suffering from these (along with a PsychicNosebleed) to show how ''fragile'' his body really is.]]

* BatmanGambit: Pulls one off by [[spoiler:obtaining both demon eyes through a bit of [[ManipulativeBastard manipulation]] and [[TricksterArchetype trickery]], then using them to deliberately awaken the [[SealedEvilinaCan Impure King]]. He knew that this would cause Tatsuma to show up and try to defeat the Impure King using his familiar Kurara. This weakened Tatsuma, allowing Toudou to kill him (who was saved by a revived Karura) and allow him to eat Karura to gain his power. It had all gone according to plan]].
* BreakingSpeech: Gives one [[spoiler:and more on a regular basis]] to Yukio.

** THIRD one: Following his discovery of [[spoiler: Yukio's [[OccultBlueEyes blue eyes]] (after almost killing the kid) and after Yukio thought Saburota was destroyed, [[FromASingleCell Saburota regenerates]] and comments that self-loathing is the first step to becoming a demon and that Yukio's true nature is that of a demon. [[RageBreakingPoint Yukio has had enough of Toudou by this point]]]].
* CannibalismSuperPower: [[spoiler:He noms demons to control their powers]].
* CompleteImmortality: The logical conclusion of [[spoiler: combining FromASingleCell, FountainOfYouth, and [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld how demons tend to have extremely long lifespans]]]].
* TheCorrupter: He convinced a loyal member of the Kyoto Branch Office to give him the dangerous Right Eye of the Impure King. He is actively attempting to manipulate Yukio for unknown but definitely unsavory ends.

* FauxAffablyEvil: He is always very polite, even when he [[spoiler:betrays both the exorcists and Mamushi]]. In fact, he arguably became even more polite ''after'' he revealed himself to be evil.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: Before [[spoiler:regaining his youth]], he wears glasses. Presumably his eye sight improved with the change.

* PsychopathicManChild: His reasons for being with the Illuminati boils down to him throwing a tantrum over how he was never accepted by his family and never could match their expectations. His age regression after [[spoiler: eating Karura]] just makes it more obvious and worse.

* YouthfulFreckles: A frightening inversion, as he [[spoiler: [[FountainOfYouth turned younger following devouring Karura]] but he's still a 55 years old]].

* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: Uses the Savior Mask to turn himself into a huge monster to try to kill the heroes]].
* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler: Everything he did was to gain praise from Lucifer. Fittingly, not only does Lucifer vaporize him for his disobedience, he expresses disgust at Gedouin's cruelty just before doing so]].

* {{Gonk}}: He has a very squat design which suits him ''[[TropesAreTools perfectly]]'' since it makes him look like a [[FatBastard very fat]] [[PsychopathicManChild child]] instead of a normal adult, he is even shorter than [[spoiler: Izumo's mother]] when he is standing next to them as they is sitting in their wheelchair.

* {{Jerkass}}: He has no problems telling [[spoiler: Izumo]] ''exactly'' what he will do to [[spoiler: her and her sister]] after showing them [[KickTheDog what was left of their mother]] after he experimented on her for ''years''.

* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: Manages to survive getting incinerated by the heroes thanks to the elixir experiments he conducted on himself. Lucifer [[DeathByIrony fixes that]] in the next chapter]].

* LukeIAmYourFather: Chapter 86 reveals that [[spoiler: a clone of his is the biological father of Rin and Yukio]], technically making him their uncle. In a case of GenerationXerox, [[spoiler: clones can be considered twins, much like Rin and Yukio]].

* BlessedWithSuck: The most powerful of the Kings with only Satan potentially surpassing him, yet his bodies quickly [[SuperPowerMeltdown degrade within ten years]] [[{{Reincarnation}} only to gain a new human form]] to repeat the cycle.

* AffablyEvil: He is always very polite, even when he [[spoiler:betrays both the exorcists and Mamushi]]. In fact, he arguably became even more polite ''after'' he revealed himself to be evil.

* EvilFeelsGood: He implies this much while talking to Yukio. [[spoiler:Said to Yukio almost verbatim as "it's nice to be a demon"]].
* ManChild: His reasons for being with the Illuminati boils down to him throwing a tantrum over how he was never accepted by his family and never could match their expectations. His age regression after [[spoiler: eating Karura]] just makes it more obvious and worse.
* ManipulativeBastard: He got Yukio to talk with him during their fights despite [[IdiotBall Yukio knowing, and earlier explained to Rin and Shiemi]] how dangerous talking with a demon can be.

* StalkerWithoutACrush: In his own words, [[spoiler:[[VillainTakesAnInterest he is "very interested" in Yukio]]]].
