* EmotionlessGirl: She starts off as one, merely following Gai's orders with no qualms and having little understanding of Shu or his problems. However, she wants to learn more about Shu after spending some time with him, questions her own emotions, and even disobeys Gai to rescue an arrested Shu in Episode 4, clearly indicating that Shu has some influence on her that is enabling her to begin to think for herself. Which is DoubleSubverted the next episode when she says it was another of Gai's orders, and then Triple Subverted when she genuinely ''does'' begin to develop feelings for Shu.
** Her early status is also justified. [[spoiler: She was an ArtificialHuman that was originally meant to be nothing more than a vessel for Mana.]] It's only thanks to Shu that she learns how to be her own person.

->''"I'm dense? Maybe it's true that my mind works out of step with everyone else's. It's just that I don't know what to say to other people. So I hide my nervousness and try to go along with what they say. That's how I've made the quasi-friendships in my life."''

->'''Voiced by:''' YuukiKaji, Minami Tsuda (child) (Japanese), Creator/AustinTindle, Lara Woodhull (child) (English)

An unsociable seventeen-year-old high school student at Tennouzu High School and a member of the modern motion picture research club, Shu gains the ability "Power of Kings," enabling him to extract weapons from other people, after a chance encounter with IdolSinger Inori Yuzuriha.

[[spoiler: His Void is a crystalline arm that allows him to absorb the Voids he has drawn from the time he acquired the arm onwards. However, he also absorbs out the donors' weaknesses, whether physical or psychological, taking them upon himself. Also, if he dies while he has someone else's Void in him, they die too.]]

See also [[SelfDemonstrating/ShuOuma his Self-Demonstrating article]]
----
* AccidentalPervert:
** It takes the poor guy a couple of tries to [[HowDoIShotWeb get Void-extraction quite right]].
** He accidentally pulls the pervert card a few times with Ayase enough for her to initially think of him as a "pervy brat."
* AllLovingHero: By Episode 11, he's upgraded to this. He even asks permission before using Voids.
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl
* AmbiguousDisorder: He's an ExtremeDoormat with NoSocialSkills who admits to himself that his mind might be out of step with everyone else's, and has only made "friends" by going along with what other people say. When he makes a carelessly cold remark about someone else and is reprimanded for it, he can only think about his own feelings that were hurt, rather than feeling bad about what he said. He also has trouble with making eye contact with other people.
* AntiHero
** ClassicalAntiHero: At first.
** UnscrupulousHero: After [[spoiler:Hare's death]].
* ApologeticAttacker:
** When extracting Voids. [[spoiler:Not so much anymore.]]
** [[spoiler:Subverted in Episode 19. He asks and apologizes while extracting everyone's Voids.]]
* [[spoiler:AnArmAndALeg: His Void Genome arm is cut off by a BackFromTheDead Gai.]]
* [[spoiler:ArtificialLimbs]]
* TheAtoner: Following the disaster that was [[spoiler:the Kingdom of the Void]].
* {{Badass}}: While you might at first mistake him for a spineless wimp, Shu gives us plenty of examples of why he has balls of titanium [[GrowingTheBeard after the first 10 episodes]].
** BadassLongcoat: Along with a ScarfOfAsskicking. However, it seems that it's just Shu's standard winter gear and that Shu happens to be a trendy dresser.
** HeartbrokenBadass: [[spoiler:Two of his three potential love interests end up dead by the end of the series]]. Shu really can't a catch a break.
* [[spoiler:BadBoss: What eventually made the school turn against him in Episode 17.]]
* BadLiar: His delivery is pretty bad. However, the lies themselves are pretty creative as well as being plausible. Assuming they weren't rehearsed.
* BettyAndVeronica: The Betty to Gai's Veronica and the Archie to Hare's Betty and Inori's Veronica (and possibly Ayase as his ThirdOptionLoveInterest).
* BreakTheCutie:
** While he'd already been through a lot of shit and held up remarkably well, Episode 9 breaks him.
** In Episode 15, [[spoiler:Hare's death]] breaks him even harder, triggering the DullEyesOfUnhappiness and a killing rampage after [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything taking in Inori's Void in a way that comes off as borderline rape]].
** [[spoiler:The discovery of what happens when people's Voids break]] at the end of Episode 16 sends him even further down the slippery slope, triggering a fit of [[LaughingMad maniacal laughter]] that ends with him thinking about breaking Argo's Void.
** [[spoiler: Gai]] breaks him even more by [[spoiler: betraying him, cutting off his arm, and stealing the Void Genome.]]
* BridalCarry: Ayase is carried in this fashion by Shu in Episode 21 when she [[OutOfCharacterMoment allows the latter to help her into her Endlave.]]
* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Has this dynamic with Inori after [[DefrostingIceQueen defrosting her]]. He also has it with Hare.
* [[spoiler:BroughtDownToNormal]]: Happens at the end of Episode 17 [[spoiler:when a revived Gai cuts off his right arm off and steals the Void Genome.]]
* CallingYourAttacks: [[spoiler:Shu verbally calls the name of his friends when he uses their respective Void.]]
* [[spoiler:CartwrightCurse]]
* TheChewToy: His life sucks.
* ChickMagnet: Inori, Ayase, Hare, (arguably) Tsugumi, Kanon, Miyabi (Scythe-tan).
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: [[ZigZaggedTrope Subverted to hell and back every episode]].
* ConflictingLoyalty: In the first few episodes, he wavers back and forth between trusting Gai and Funeral Parlor or distrusting them and potentially using the transmitter that he received from Major Segai to punish the rebels. This is ultimately resolved when he accidentally sees Gai's vulnerable side, [[spoiler: along with the revelation that the transmitter was a targeting beacon for the Leucocyte and that using it would have killed him.]]
* CosmicPlaything
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* CursedWithAwesome: [[spoiler:His Void Genome grants him the power to recreate Voids he has previously used. However, it has the side effect of carrying with it the weaknesses of the Void he's copying, in this case he acquires Souta's Apocalypse Virus.]]
* CynicismCatalyst: [[spoiler:Hare's death]] took Shu's life a turn for the worst. [[spoiler:He decides to go along with the Void ranking system to separate the "good" from the "trash" and become "king."]]
* [[spoiler:DarkMessiah]]
* DefeatEqualsFriendship: The way he befriends Inori, Yahiro, and Gai after learning their secrets. However, the first had an ulterior motive, the second backfired, and the third could go any which way and he wouldn't be able to do a thing about it. [[{{Subverted}} Friendship is pretty tentative for him]], [[DoubleSubverted but it ends up working out for him in the end]].
* DentedIron: [[spoiler: After all his adventures, he's rewarded with blindness and a missing arm requiring prosthetics. Here's hoping saving the world was worth it.]]
* DespairEventHorizon
* {{Determinator}}: Not so much in general (as far as we've seen), but there is one notable instance. He stupidly picks a fight with Gai, who hits him with a haymaker and a jab in the face and then with a ''vicious'' gut shot and another jab to the face in quick succession. He just shrugs it off and hits him back.
* DistressedDude: Spends most of Episode 4 in this role when he gets arrested by the GHQ.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything:
** Void extraction is a bit... evocative of something else.
** His forced Void extraction on Inori after [[spoiler: Hare's death]] gives off rape vibes, and continues to happen in other extractions afterwards.
* DudeWheresMyReward: The only thing he got from [[spoiler:saving the world]] was [[spoiler: several of his friends' deaths, Inori's death, a prosthetic arm to replace the one Gai sliced off and permanent blindness]].
* TheDulcineaEffect: DoubleSubverted. He is unable to prevent Inori from getting captured but ultimately goes after her in the end. Of course, it's arguable how much of his motivation was "pretty girl in trouble" and not "repressed ExtremeDoormat wants to finally do something interesting with his life." Since Episode 12, [[spoiler:and the revelation that Inori is meant to be a vessel for Mana,]] he seems to have moved on to mostly platonic interest, needing Inori to confide in with his fears that his plans are failing.
* TheEeyore
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Gai, Segai, and Ayase easily deduce his feelings for Inori. Enough that it gets used against him twice: Segai subtly threatens Inori's safety, should he not cooperate with the GHQ, and Gai uses Inori to get him to join Funeral Parlor.
* [[spoiler:EvilCostumeSwitch]]
* [[spoiler:EvilLaugh: He makes one in Episode 16 that would make [[Manga/DeathNote Light]] and [[CodeGeass Lelouch]] proud.]]
* ExtremeDoormat: See above quote.
* {{Expy}}: The staff admitted in a recent Q&A in London that Shu is actually based off of the director, Tetsuro Araki.
* [[spoiler:FallenHero: Once Hare dies and he decides "to become king" and separate the "good" from the "trash", he pretty much becomes the anime highschool-aged version of Stalin. [[TearJerker And its just painful to watch.]]]]
* FatalFlaw: Kindness. [[spoiler:Hare even calls him out on it before she dies.]]
* {{Flight}}: The Power of Kings already allows Shu to DoubleJump, but Inori's sword allows him to simply zoom around through the air.
* {{Foil}}: To Gai, pretty obviously. Just check out how a few of Gai's character tropes reflect on his.
* [[spoiler:ForgivenessRequiresDeath: In the end, Shu plans on making a HeroicSacrifice to atone for his sins but Inori averts this.]]
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: With [[spoiler:Gai]].
* FreakOut: [[spoiler:Hare's death, and to a lesser extent Jun's, causes him to become seriously deranged.]]
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: [[spoiler:The things he saw whilst linked with Jun]] drove him perilously close to this. Afterwards, he displays pretty reasonably close symptoms to those of PTSD.
* GoodEyesEvilEyes: [[spoiler:Shuu switches to the evil variant at the end of Episode 15 after getting broken by Hare's death and deciding that he'll become king and seperate the good from the trash.]]
* GreenEyedMonster:
** He starts to feel this in Episode 5 towards Inori's and Gai's relationship.
** In Episode 8, his jealousy of Souta nearly confessing to Inori nearly makes him also almost confess his feelings to Inori with Funeral Parlor overhearing the exchange.
* TheHeart: He's growing into this, despite, or perhaps because of, being TheSpock. His rationalist tendencies don't take into account things like blinding loyalty or patriotism, and his social awkwardness makes him more likely to speak up when no one else will. Therefore, as a new member of the fairly disciplined Funeral Parlor, he's likely to be the first and only one to bring up little things like [[WeHaveReserves 35% mortality rates]], [[InnocentBystander innocent bystanders]], etc. to Gai.
* HereditaryHairstyle
* HeroicBSOD:
** A real doozy. The things he saw and did in Episode 9 did ''horrible'' things to his mind.
** [[spoiler:A Virus-infected Mana nearing killing Gai, getting AxCrazy, and causing Lost Christmas (all because of him) triggered this in his childhood enough to get TraumaInducedAmnesia.]]
** [[spoiler:He is completely broken as of Episode 15 and Hare's death.]]
** [[spoiler:Episode 17 breaks him even more, as Gai reappears to steal the power of the king and Arisa causes the school to revolt against him.]]
* HeroicResolve: After the above, Inori showed him how much of a difference he really made for her. This, and [[spoiler: her attempt to single-handedly fight off a troupe of GHQ Endlaves in order to save him]] gives Shu the strength to overcome his previous trauma and fight to [[spoiler: gain the third Void Genome]] so he can stop GHQ.
* HeroicRROD: [[spoiler:Use of his Void in addition to the third Void Genome means Shu is going to die in all likelihood. He also used it to cure Souta of the Apocalypse Virus by taking the virus onto himself.]]
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: He has next to no self confidence and repeatedly downs himself because of it.
-->'''Shu:''' [''about Inori getting captured''] Should I really just accept this? I felt... a little relieved because I wasn't in danger anymore. That's how pathetic I am. When you get right down to it, she was way out of my league. I wanted to take it. I wanted to get close to her and touch her hand!
* IAmWho: [[spoiler:The kid who accidentally triggered Lost Christmas.]]
* IgnoredEpiphany: [[spoiler:Finding out what the destruction of their Void can do to someone. It gives him... ''ideas''.]]
* IJustWantToBeBadass: He has stated on more than one occasions of his hopes of becoming like [[{{Badass}} Gai]]. He realizes in Episode 11 that he can't be like Gai and has to [[BeYourself do things]] [[CharacterDevelopment his own way]].
* [[spoiler:ILetGwenStacyDie: To Hare. Her death triggers his StartOfDarkness.]]
* [[spoiler:TheImmune: Never contracts the Apocalypse Virus despite having essentially been at Ground Zero of Lost Christmas (unlike Gai who was there too) because his sister Mana, who essentially became the Apocalypse Virus, [[BrotherSisterIncest was in love with him]]. Subverted in episode 19 when he extracts Souta's Void and takes Souta's illness into himself, though even then he displays less severity than Souta.]]
* IndyPloy: He is an absolute master of adapting to and using his new powers. Even taking into account his being an InstantExpert regarding his weapons, he still uses them quickly and creatively to get out of tight spots in high stress situations, often without having any foreknowledge of what weapon he'd be pulling out next.
* InSeriesNickname: He is called a "faceless bastard" by Daryl because the latter can't see his face through his Endlave monitor. Daryl finally sees his face in Episode 11.
* InstantExpert: Appears to be one of the RequiredSecondaryPowers of the Void Genome. He's able to use new weapons effectively immediately after drawing them. Confirmed later on. People have to train with their Voids before they can use them effectively. While Souta's Void had proved incredibly useful in his hands, Souta can only use it to open cans.
* JerkassFacade: [[spoiler:After Hare's death, he forcibly extracts Inori's Void to go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge on the Anti Bodies, blames Souta for Hare's death and gives him a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, and decides that kindness is pointless and to go along with the Void ranking system with him reigning over the student body as their "king." However, when he's alone with Inori he goes back to his normal self and admits he does regret his actions. He quits the act by Episode 19.]]
* [[spoiler:JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: After Hare's death. ''Dear Lord.'']]
* [[spoiler:LaughingMad: As of Episode 16.]]
* LetsGetDangerous: Whenever Shu pulls out Yahiro's void, it's clear that things have gotten dire.
* [[spoiler:[[LikeParentLikeSpouse Like Sister, Like Spouse]]: He's in love with a girl who looks exactly like his sister.]]
* LoveHurts: In Episode 5.
* MeaningfulName: His first name is written with the kanji for "gather" (集). Considering [[GottaCatchThemAll what he's been doing]] in regards to the Voids... Episode 20 reveals that it's meant as "group," because Kurosu (Shu's father) could do anything alone, but was always lonely as a result, and really wanted to be with other people. Thus, he named Shu as this, with the hope that Shu wouldn't be lonely like him.
* [[spoiler:MegaManning: Unfortunately, his Void doesn't just pass on useful stuff--when he took Souta's Void, he took his dose of the Apocalypse Virus as well.]]
* MercyKill: Forced to do this to [[spoiler:Jun, and later to Gai and Mana]].
* MessianicArchetype: Post-CharacterDevelopment.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: A mild example--after the apocalyptic devastation he unleashes during his first mission with the Funeral Parlor, he decides that whilst what he did was sort of worthwhile, he just isn't cut out for the life of a terrorist.
* MysteriousPast: Which is eventually revealed at the end of the first half.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: After regaining his memories, he develops the ''true'' Power of the King; the ability to extract Voids without knocking people out, meaning other people can use Voids as weapons now, provided Shu extracts them.
* NoSocialSkills: It's a pretty big deal for him, and it doesn't help that some of his worse habits (like avoiding eye-contact) make extracting Voids harder.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent
* ParentalAbandonment: His mother is neglectful and has to work for days at a time, and his father died ten years prior to the story during Lost Christmas. Despite that, he seems to have a genuinely caring relationship with his mother.
* ThePeterPrinciple: Gets him (and just about everyone else) into serious trouble from Episode 14 onwards. [[spoiler:Turns out that he's so far outside his competence zone that he has to resort to being a brutal dictator just to get everybody to listen to him. [[FromBadToWorse Needless to say, this works out absolutely swimmingly]].]]
* PowerAtAPrice: [[spoiler:Using his second Void Genome leads to him contracting the Apocalypse Virus.]]
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Ultimately how Shu uses his Voids, since he is literally wielding the weaponized hearts of his friends. [[spoiler: Not so much after becoming a FallenHero.]]
* PowersInTheFirstEpisode
* ReadingsAreOffTheScale: His Void level was read as XXXX, which probably foreshadows that his Void power [[spoiler:depends on the Voids he absorbs]].
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Both an example and an aversion; it just depends on the situation.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red Oni to Gai's Blue Oni.
* RefusalOfTheCall: He is initially obligated to help Funeral Parlor using his "Power of Kings" ability, but he declines joining their organization. Naturally, a NewTransferStudent will change things.
* ResignedToTheCall
* [[spoiler:RoaringRampageOfRevenge: After Hare's death.]]
* RuleOfSymbolism: [[spoiler:His Void forces him to take on the 'sins' of those he uses through absorbing their weaknesses.]]
* ScarfOfAsskicking
* ScyllaAndCharybdis: He has to decide whether to implement the Void ranking system and divide the students based on their Voids' effectiveness, or not go through with it since said students would feel discriminated against. [[spoiler:After Hare's death, he's set on going through with it after all.]]
* SecondLove: Seemingly to Ayase following [[spoiler:Gai's death]].
* SkunkStripe: He has one lock of hair that is distinctively lighter than the rest. [[HereditaryHairstyle His dad does too]].
* TheSoCalledCoward: He's very passive and sometimes apathetic, but he holds together pretty well in times of crisis, and for better or for worse, embroils himself in the war between the government and Funeral Parlor. Inori and later Hare, in particular, both inspire some level of self-confidence in him.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is usually spelt as either Shu or Shuu.
* TheSpock: Rationalizes (or tries to, anyway) just about every aspect of human interaction. Comes as a result of him having no intuition regarding feelings or empathy. It also leads him to easily misread social cues and make a fool of himself if he ''doesn't'' think things through very carefully.
* StepfordSmiler
* StrongFamilyResemblance: To his father.
* [[spoiler:StudentCouncilPresident: As of Episode 14.]]
* SuperEmpowering: The True Power of the King works like this, though Shu still has to draw them out.
* TakingUpTheMantle: Him becoming the [[spoiler:StudentCouncilPresident]] seems to double as making him TheLeader of [[spoiler:LaResistance]].
* ThreeAmigos: With [[spoiler:Gai and Mana]].
* TookALevelInBadass: By the end of the first episode, and usually through each episode after.
* TragicHero: He is probably one of the most tragic out there. Every time life begins to go well for him, it turns into a train wreck. And it doesn't help that literally no one except Hare understands how he feels inside.
* TraumaCongaLine: From Episode 15 onwars, oooooh boy.
* TraumaInducedAmnesia: [[spoiler:He forgot his memories of his older sister Mana and of Gai being his best friend "Triton" due to witnessing Mana becoming increasing unstable due being infected Apocalypse Virus and triggering Lost Christmas.]]
* [[spoiler:TronLines: His Void.]]
* UnluckyEverydude: {{UP TO ELEVEN}}.
* UnwantedHarem: At the end of the show, Inori, [[spoiler:Mana]], Ayase and Hare have all made attempts to jump his bones.
* WeaponOfChoice: [[{{BFS}} Inori's void sword]], and to a lesser extent [[OneHitKill Yahiro's void shears]].
* [[spoiler:WeCannotGoOnWithOutYou: Yet another disadvantage of his Void - if he dies, so does everyone whose Voids he's currently housing.]]
* [[spoiler:WellIntentionedExtremist: Yahiro and Inori consider it to be the only way to get it to work. Or, more accurately, Yahiro felt that it was the only way for things to work when ''Shu'' was in charge, and eventually decided [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere it wasn't worth the effort]].]]
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Almost every friend Shu has ever had stabs him in the back at one point or another.
* YouMonster: Inori is called this by Shu in Episode 11. [[spoiler:He also calls his sister this. She does not take this well.]]

The popular internet IdolSinger of the band Egoist, who Shu is a fan of, sixteen-year-old Inori doubles as a member of the resistance group, Funeral Parlor. After a covert mission to steal the GHQ's Void Genome goes wrong and she ends up injured, Inori meets Shu and entrusts the Void Genome to him.

Her Void is an [[{{BFS}} enormous sword]] with [[AbsurdlySharpBlade impressive cutting power]] and the power to shoot {{sword beam}}s. She also seems to have the power to imbue the sword with other peoples' Voids. When extracted [[spoiler: by Daath]], it takes a more wing-like shape.
----
* AbsoluteCleavage
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Her Void.
* ActionGirl
* [[spoiler:ApocalypseMaiden: She's the vessel for the apocalypse.]]
* [[spoiler:ArtificialHuman: She was created to be a host for Mana.]]
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: She is shot, caught in explosions, kicked in the face, and is shown to be bleeding on more than one occasion. Her [[ImpossiblyCoolClothes ridiculous outfit]] doesn't get a single tear, her hair remains absolutely perfect, and being kicked in the face leaves not a single visible trace.
* BettyAndVeronica: She is the Archie to Shu's Betty and Gai's Veronica and the Veronica to Hare's Betty for Shu.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[spoiler:Turns out that [[EnemyWithin Mana]] isn't the only scary one. She, herself, is a OneWomanArmy once she [[GameFace stops trying to maintain a human appearance]].]]
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Demure, innocent, and can gun down a squad of GHQ soldiers in seconds. [[CuteAndPsycho And that's just the tip of the iceberg]].
* {{BFS}}: Her Void.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: [[spoiler:Her Void.]]
* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Has this dynamic with Shu later in the series.
* TheComicallySerious
* TheConfidant: To Shu. He very much appreciates it.
* CuteAndPsycho: There have been hints that something is very wrong with Inori for a while now, but [[spoiler:Episode 16 ''really'' drove it home]]. Subverted, since [[spoiler:it was actually [[EnemyWithin Mana]]]].
* DamselInDistress: Pretty much spends the first episode in this role, and gets kidnapped in Episode 11 [[spoiler:and Episode 18.]]
* [[spoiler:DarkMistress]]: Has some shades of this after [[spoiler:Shu becomes a borderline VillainProtagonist, although her relationship with him is still platonic.]]
* DeclarationOfProtection: To Shu.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Starts out as an EmotionlessGirl who doesn't really care about Shu or anything besides Gai's orders. She quickly grows fond of Shu and thanks to him, she learns how to be her own person.
* DetachedSleeves
* DontCallMeSir: She dislikes it when Shu speaks way too formally to her and calls her "Inori[[JapaneseHonorifics -san]]" and she tells him to quit it.
* DudeHesLikeInAComa: [[spoiler:Kisses an unconscious Shu in Episode 18.]]
* EmotionlessGirl: She starts off as one, merely following Gai's orders with no qualms and having little understanding of Shu or his problems. However, she wants to learn more about Shu after spending some time with him, questions her own emotions, and even disobeys Gai to rescue an arrested Shu in Episode 4, clearly indicating that Shu has some influence on her that is enabling her to begin to think for herself. Which is DoubleSubverted the next episode when she says it was another of Gai's orders, and then Triple Subverted when she genuinely ''does'' begin to develop feelings for Shu.
** Her early status is also justified. [[spoiler: She was an ArtificialHuman that was originally meant to be nothing more than a vessel for Mana.]] It's only thanks to Shu that she learns how to be her own person.
* [[spoiler:EnemyWithin[=/=]JekyllAndHyde: Turns out that Mana's psychotic post-infection personality got passed along in the cloning.]]
* ExtremeDoormat: She's stoic, quiet and seems to only act to follow Gai's orders. [[spoiler:This might have to deal with the fact that she turns out to be an ArtificialHuman that was originally meant to be nothing more than a vessel for Mana.]]
* FingerlessGloves
* FusionDance: Her Void can combine with other Voids. For instance, Kenji's creates a WaveMotionGun, whilst [[spoiler:Hare's]] creates a WhipSword.
* [[spoiler:GameFace: Her true form. We only see it in full when she ([[JekyllAndHyde as herself and not her "Mana" personality]]) is in charge.]]
* GangstaStyle: In Episode 6, with ''[[GunsAkimbo two]]'' pistols and her arms crossing at that... [[http://i.imgur.com/Nkv0M.jpg how exactly do you aim like that?]] [[spoiler:Turns out that it foreshadows exactly how superhuman she really is.]]
* GirlishPigtails
* [[spoiler:GoOutWithASmile]]
* [[spoiler:GrandTheftMe: Mana, at least partially, got into her head and has been murdering people to carry out her own agenda. Mana has been doing this in momentary bursts since Episode 16, and as of Episode 21, she has fully taken control over her body.]]
* TheGunslinger
* HairDecorations: Her hairclip.
* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: She attempts to pull this off in Episode 18 by fighting off against the Anti Bodies in order to protect Shu. She is thwarted by Gai, who captures her. In Episode 22, she succeeds.]]
* HoneyTrap: She was ordered by Gai to lure Shu into Funeral Parlor through these means.
* IAmWhatIAm: After the events of Episode 16, she starts to think she's a monster, but by Episode 18, she decides that she is herself and doesn't care if she's a monster if it means she can protect Shu.
* IdolSinger: She is the vocalist of the band, Egoist.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl
* IOweYouMyLife: Her UndyingLoyalty to Gai stems from the fact that he gave her a name and a world. It's to the extent that when Gai asks if she resents him for [[spoiler:going to erase her feelings and memories]], she replies that she is grateful to Gai instead because he gave her a life that allowed her to meet Shu.
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: Somehow saved Shu from turning crystalline with her in the final episode, but dies in the process.]]
* LivingADoubleLife: An internet idol singer by day and a member of a terrorist organization by night.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: She becomes this to Shu [[spoiler:after Hare's death.]]

* MsFanservice
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In Episode 16, [[spoiler:she immediately regrets how she attacked Arisa.]]
* MysticalWaif
* NakedFirstImpression:
** She's topless when she first meets Shu.
** In a flashback, she appears to have had this with Gai [[spoiler:after he woke her up in the GHQ labs]].
* NewTransferStudent: Transfers into Shu's class in the end of Episode 2.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: More so {{played for drama}} rather than laughs. Episode 5 has her basically choosing Gai over Shu, entering Gai's room with a half-naked Gai, and Ayase teasingly telling Shu that Gai and she spend the night together two or three times a month, implying to Shu that Gai and she have a sexual relationship. When the viewers are actually shown what is going on inside the room, turns out this isn't the case. In fact, it's implied that Gai ''encourages'' this interpretation, seeing as what's really going on is a great deal more complicated.
* OneWomanArmy: When she goes all-out.
* PoisonousFriend: In Episode 16, [[spoiler:she attacks Arisa because the latter was going to "cause trouble for Shu."]] However it's subverted, [[spoiler:[[EnemyWithin Mana]] was actually controlling her body and [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Inori regrets it later.]]]]
* PowerMakesYourHairGrow: When [[spoiler:Mana takes full control of her body]], her hair grows past waist-length.
* PrettyFreeloader
* PursuedProtagonist: Is introduced in a DramaticChaseOpening.
* TheQuietOne
* ReadingsAreOffTheScale: Her Void level just said OVER!
* [[spoiler:ReallyDeadMontage]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[BewareTheNiceOnes No, really]].
* ReiAyanamiExpy: Stoic, seemingly emotionless? Check. Red eyes? Check. Unnatural hair color? Pink, to be exact. MysticalWaif? Check. Deeply devoted to her boss, and, later, the main character? Check. Eventually warms up and expresses more emotions thanks to the main character? Check. [[spoiler:She's even an ArtificialHuman based on one of the protagonist's family members.]]
* ReplacementGoldfish: Hinted in her exchange with Gai in Episode 5, she is revealed to be [[spoiler:an ArtificialHuman based on the appearance of Mana Ouma, Shu's older sister and Gai's motivation for his war against the GHQ]].
* RobotBuddy: Her robotic companion, Funnel.
* RoseHairedSweetie: While [[EmotionlessGirl she's not at all cheery and optimistic]], Inori does have the "pure" aspect of the personality of the trope; she's innocent and one of the most loyal and caring characters in the series.
* SexyBacklessOutfit
* TheStoic
* {{Stripperific}}
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's deeply stoic and reserved, coming across as [[EmotionlessGirl emotionless]], but is very loyal and caring towards those she becomes attached to, like Gai and Shu.
* [[spoiler:SuperPoweredEvilSide: Subverted. Mana may be plenty evil, but it turns out that both sides have access to the superpowers.]]
* SwordBeam: Her Void. Elevated to WaveMotionGun levels after absorbing Kenji's Void.
* TookALevelInBadass: In Episode 18.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Onigiri (Rice balls)
* UndyingLoyalty:
** To Gai. Ayase even notes in Episode 4 that prior to her meeting Shu, she would never disobey any of Gai's orders. In Episode 5, she rejects Shu's offer to leave Funeral Parlor with him in favor of Gai.
--->'''Inori:''' Gai gave me a name. I had nothing, and he gave me a name. He gave me a world. So I can't go.
** And to Shu as well. [[spoiler:After the events of Episode 17 and everyone literally kicks him to the curb, she's the only one who runs after him.]]
---> '''Inori:''' Even if everyone calls you a liar and you hate yourself, I'll be on your side, Shu.
* TheUnreveal: When she reveals to Shu that Voids are manifested forms of people's hearts and fears, Shu asks her why her Void is a sword. They are interrupted before she can answer his question. [[spoiler: Episode 18 reveals that Shu did ask again, but he ultimately dropped the question saying, "Inori is Inori."]]
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: [[spoiler:She fights off against an entire army of Endlaves in order to protect Shu.]]
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Questions her own feelings for Shu in this manner in Episode 10.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Has pale pink hair.

!Gai Tsutsugami
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gaivwx2014_4725.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:300:Click [[labelnote:here]] http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/a11802777-46_8303.jpg [[/labelnote]] to see his [[spoiler:revived self]] '''spoiler''']]
->''"Remember this, Shu Ouma: there are only two paths you can choose. You can sit quietly and be selected out of this world, or you can adapt and change!"''

->'''Voiced by:''' YuuichiNakamura, Creator/AkenoWatanabe (child) (Japanese), Creator/MicahSolusod, Terri Doty (child) (English)

The seventeen-year-old rebel leader of Funeral Parlor, Gai is described as Shu's rival and seeks to use Shu's "Power of Kings" to fight against the GHQ.

His Void is a gun [[spoiler:that can unlock people's Voids.]]
----
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Shu's opinion of him, partly due to Shu's own insecurity and partly due to everyone's idolization of him and Inori's closeness to him. Ironically, he seems to feel this way about ''Shu'' in regards to [[spoiler:the implication that both the infected-Mana and Inori have chosen Shu over him.]]
* AmbiguouslyEvil: For the fearless leader of LaResistance, he raises a ''lot'' of red flags. Being a near-peerless ManipulativeBastard doesn't help.
* [[spoiler:BackFromTheDead: As of Episode 16.]]
* BadassBoast:
-->'''Gai:''' Well, look at all these corpses.
-->'''Thug:''' Huh? What corpses?
-->'''Gai:''' I'm afraid you boys got yourself into a situation you'll have to ''die'' your way out of. So you all look like a bunch of corpses to me.
* BadassInCharge
* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler: Severed Shu's arm, stole his Void Genome, butchered his classmates, decimated an army, allowed Mana to possess Inori and instigate a second Lost Christmas, all while betting on Shu to somehow overcome his DespairEventHorizon, obtain the third Void Genome and kill him and Mana so they may rest in peace. AND IT WORKED.]]
* BeneathTheMask: Initially comes off as an arrogant jerk who cares little for his subordinates, [[spoiler: but is, in fact, deeply affected by their deaths and doubts his abilities as a leader. He acts so cocksure largely because he sees it as the best way to lead Funeral Parlor.]] See JerkassFacade, below.
* BettyAndVeronica: The Veronica to Shu's Betty.
* {{Bishounen}}
* CelibateHero: In spite of the above, he doesn't seem seriously interested in romance aside from his whole motivation for his war against the GHQ being a woman that he wants to hold in his arms. This turns out to be [[spoiler:Shu's older sister Mana, who he eventually reaches, albeit TogetherInDeath.]]
* TheCharmer: Ayase, Inori, and Arisa can surely attest to his sheer magnetism, though as with so many other things about him, it's unknown how much is him being a gentleman and how much is calculated manipulation.
* TheChessmaster: An excellent strategist--every one of his moves appears to be planned down to the ninth decimal point. There hasn't been a moment yet shown where he hasn't known exactly what's going on, even when OutGambitted.
* [[spoiler:ChildSoldier: Shinbugi reveals that he was one before starting Funeral Parlour... in Africa, for some reason.]]
* [[spoiler: [[CoDragons Co Dragon]]: He plays this role for Da'ath along with Keido from Episode 17 onwards.]]
* {{Determinator}}
* [[spoiler:DisabilitySuperpower: He's suffering from an advanced stage of the Apocalypse Virus, which is what allows him to see Voids. Only Inori's blood helps stave off the crystallization and even that starts failing later on.]]
* {{Foil}}: To Shu.
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: With [[spoiler:Shu]].
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Call Gai a garbage man because he knows how to take out the trash.
* GrayEyes
* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: It seems the only way to kill Gai is for him to let himself be killed. And even then, he doesn't always stay dead!]]
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: [[{{Foil}} Much like Shu]], he expresses a lot of self-loathing during his inner monologues.
* IJustWantToBeBadass: [[spoiler:Turns out that Shu was the much stronger one out of both of them when they were children, and he was determined to one day become like Shu.]]
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: [[spoiler:In Episode 22, he admits that the reason why he chooses to be with Mana is because he was afraid of being "selected out."]]
* IllBoy: Hinted in Episode 5 through him briefly looking unwell in the beginning of the episode (which is noticed by Shinbugi) and later when Inori gives him a blood transfusion (and it's indicated that this routine happens two to three times a month). [[spoiler: Episode 9 hints that he had the Apocalypse Virus (as this is why he can see Voids) and is reinfected by it in Episode 10 and Episode 11.]]
* ImprobableAge
* IWillFindYou: His goal to reach [[spoiler:Mana]], which he eventually manages to succeed in doing [[spoiler:right before they end up TogetherInDeath.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: While he is a charming leader to his followers, he can be an ass if things don't go according to his plans or if his followers don't obey his orders. Watch how he scolds Inori for not giving him the Void Genome but to Shu instead despite the fact that it wasn't her fault and it was out of her control. He also ordered Inori to pretty much lead Shu on to get him to join Funeral Parlor, only for her to "dump" him once he agreed.
* JerkassFacade: In a moment of apparent weakness, he claims to care very deeply about his men and feels deeply torn about the fact that so many of them have died because of him. However, because he feels that he cannot appear weak, the only person that he allows to see this side of him is Inori, who later allows Shu to see it when he threatens to withdraw from the Leucocyte mission. Given the suspiciously convenient timing of this revelation, though, and his known talent for manipulation, it remains to be seen just how honest he was being about this.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy
* LoveMartyr: [[spoiler:Even after the Apocalypse Virus destroys Mana's sanity, she threatens and nearly kills him, and the virus results in her triggering Lost Christmas, he continues to try and save Mana and eventually succeeds in reaching her in the end.]]
* MadeOfIron: Gai takes a ''stupid'' amount of punishment throughout the series.
** [[spoiler: When he was 7, he was shot, then had a building collapse on him, only to stand up a few minutes later saying "I have to get ''stronger.''"]]
* ManipulativeBastard: ''Par excellence''. Being able to see people's Voids, and thus the shape of their souls, helps a ''lot''.
* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:Mana called him "Triton" because he came from the sea. Notably, this also ends up being the last thing Mana says to him.]]
* MentorArchetype: To Shu.
* MissedTheCall: He was originally supposed to use the Void Genome, but Inori allowed Shu to use it instead.
* MundaneUtility: Along with its unique abilities, his Void also serves as a pretty decent assault rifle against non-human targets.
* PeekABangs: [[spoiler:After being revived.]]
* ThePowerOfActing: He can effortlessly slip into the role of a charming, flamboyant {{Cloudcuckoolander}}.
* [[spoiler:RasputinianDeath]]
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler:After he's revived, he delivers this speech to Shu.]]
-->'''Gai:''' [[spoiler:King? Have you forgotten? You were just an usurper. The ''king'' has always been me.]]
* RebelLeader
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue Oni to Shu's Red Oni.
* RescueRomance: [[spoiler:His feelings for Mana likely stem from the fact that she was the one who "brought him back to life" (via CPR).]]
* TheRival: Is described as Shu's rival in his character bio. Episode 5 indicates this in more ways than one.
* [[spoiler:SacrificialLion]]
* ShirtlessScene: In Episode 5 [[spoiler:and in Episode 16 when he's revealed to be BackFromTheDead.]]
* [[spoiler:SilentScapegoat: After being revived, he joins GHQ as part of a BatmanGambit that would require Shu to overcome everything he and GHQ throw at him so that he may finally put Gai and Mana to rest once and for all, because if Gai had taken a simpler solution and not worked with Daath and Keido, Daath would have revived Mana once more and started things all over again.]]
* TheSpock: He hides his emotions behind a cool facade and always makes the "logical" choices regarding tactics. Unlike Shu, who also displays this trope, it's a successful concerted act rather than an awkward learned impulse.
* [[spoiler:SuperEmpowering: His Void.]]
* [[spoiler:TakingTheBullet: Does this for Shu in Episode 11.]]
* ThreeAmigos: With [[spoiler:Shu and Mana]].
* [[spoiler:TogetherInDeath: With Mana. Twice.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: Episode 12 reveals that ''he's'' the one who really took a level in badass. [[spoiler: Who would've thought that he used to be that kid who almost fell off a bridge?]]
* TookALevelInJerkass: [[spoiler:As his revived self.]]
* TragicKeepsake: The cross necklace that he carries [[spoiler:which belonged to Mana.]]
* TsurimeEyes
* WalkingSpoiler: The majority of his spoilered entries lead to [[spoiler: his revived self after Episode 17.]]
* [[spoiler:WhiteHairBlackHeart: His revived self.]]
* [[spoiler:WhoWantsToLiveForever: Seemingly implied to be his inner conflict of being the new "Adam" in Episode 21 is the fact that he will never be able to die.]]
* WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou: [[spoiler:His innovative approach to international politics.]]
* XanatosSpeedChess: An expert player, able to reformulate his plans and factor in new obstacles at a moment's notice. Episode 5 demonstrates that it's partly due to simply being CrazyPrepared; for the upcoming operation, for example, he prepares 145 different alternative strategies should any problem present itself.
* YouMonster: [[spoiler:Inori is called by revived!Gai, along with Arisa in Episode 18.]]
* YoungerThanHeLooks: He's the same age as, if not slightly younger than, Shu, but stick them right together, and he looks like he's got easily a few years, if not a decade, on Shu.
