* JadeColoredGlasses: Lavi was excited with the idea that he would know and see things no one else did when he had just become Bookman's apprentice. After ten years of watching meaningless wars and bloodshed between people his opinion of humans lowered to considerable level. But as the series goes on, he starts to regain that hope on humanity as he sees how people are fighting for their {{Nakama}} around him. Doesn't stop him from disapproving news about declared wars though.

!! The Earl of Millennium
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/millenniumearl_7000.jpg

The BigBad of the series, the Earl of Millennium (mostly known as the Millennium Earl to Western fans) doesn't look very dangerous due to his cartoonish appearance and cheerful attitude. However, looks are deceiving and this guy is responsible for the death of ''millions'' because of his Akuma.

He usually appears before a person grieving the loss of a loved one and politely offers to bring back the deceased back to life. If the offer is accepted, however, the Earl imprisons the soul in a ominous-looking black metal skeleton. The captured soul will then usually berate and curse the person who agreed to the deal...until the Earl completely takes control of the new Akuma and orders him/her to ''kill the other and wear their skin as a human disguise''. Only Allen's cursed eye is able to see who's really an Akuma in a skin.

->Voiced by JunpeiTakiguchi (JP),

to:

* ActionGirl: Kiredori and Tewaku
* AintTooProudToBeg: Goushi. When the Alma cells started to take over his body, he begged for Lenalee to save him. It turns out to be MercyKill in her part
* AnArmAndALeg: Tokusa looses an arm to Tikki in confrontation
* AntiHero: Each of them is considearbly more ruthless that most of the already seen exorcists
* {{Badass}}: All of them. Or supposed to be. Some of them fall short on the hype however. Madarao, however, is extremely so
* TheBigGuy: Goushi
* BloodKnight: Takusa seems to revel in his abilities in a way the other don’t
* BodyHorror: When Alma cells start taking control over their bodies, they deform quite grotesquely and extremely painfully
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Takusa’s attack on Allen while the under the control of the effect of Alma’s cells
* CanibalismSuperpower: They have the ability to transforms their left arm, causing the flesh to part away and reveal a core of Dark Matter within their forearm and a hole in their palm, through which they can create a vortex that resembles a black hole. This can be used to absorb an Akuma directly, or to spread a dark, shadowy quagmire across the ground which will swallow up any Akuma in the vicinity
* CreepyChild: Kiredori. It’s not intentional and definitely not on her own violation
* DeadpanSnarker: Tokusa
* EmotionlessGirl: Kiredori. Tewaku as well
* EyesAlwaysClosed: But Always, but Tokusa is pretty close
* FaceHeelTurn: It really depends on how much it was voluntary, but Tewaku, Tokusa and Madarao seem to have joined forces with the Noah. The three aid Tikki and Road free Allen from prison
* FacialMarkings
* HellishPupils: Kiredori
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Tokusa had shades of it
* TheStoic and TheQuietOne: Goushi and Madarao
* SugarAndIcePersonality: {{YMMV}} but Tewaku has shades of it
* SuperSoldiers
* MercyKill: Goushi by Lenalee, Kiredori by Socalo (Belive it or not)
* NumberTwo: Either Tokusa or Tewaku
* TheWoobie: All of them, in hindsight. Goushi, Kiredori, Tewaku and Madarao are more of the StoicWoobie, Tokusa is arguably a JerkassWoobie
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Green, in Tokusa’s case
