History Characters / HighSchoolDxDValiTeam

* OedipusComplex: Vali loathes his father; Razevan Lucifer, for abusing him and his mother during his childhood (as well as his grandfather; Rivevim Livan Lucifer, who encouraged his father to abuse him), with Vali fully being determined to commit {{Patricide}} when he grew strong enough. On the other hand, Vali is noted to have a particular soft spot for his mother, even being willing to endure Razevan's abuse so that he wouldn't abuse her. After her memories of Vali were erased and she remarried a human, Vali swore to protect her and his half-siblings.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Kuroka's killing of her master is meant to be this, since he was conducting experiments that can make his team ''and'' his blood relatives stronger.

* BoobsOfSteel: Well, she's a nekomata and she did kill her former master in cold blood. While she technically only has the third-largest breast size in the series, right behind Akeno (in first place) and Rias (in second place), she gets [[BareFistedMonk more]] [[FullContactMagic physical]] than either.

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: While she initially merely wanted to mate with Issei for that sake of having strong children, she later falls in love with him due to him being kind to her and offering to help her reconcile with her sister. She later accepts his proposal and becomes one of his brides.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: She is a Nekomata with yellow eyes.

* GoingCommando: She reveals that she wears absolutely nothing under her kimono as she takes it off and dives into the Hyoudou residence swimming pool, naked. It's also made as clear as possible on the cover of Volume 24. In ''DX.5'' she states that she's a part of the "No-Bra Faction." Subverted in the manga where we see she has underwear on.

* SiblingYinYang: With Koneko. Their hair colors are even the exact opposites.

This page details the main protagonists affiliated with Vali Lucifer and his team in ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD''.

* BareYourMidriff: His outfit in ''HERO'' and at earliest by Volume 21 in the novels comes with a crop top that exposes his abs.

* BareYourMidriff: His armor leaves his abs exposed.

'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MinamiTakahashi (Japanese) and Creator/LydiaMackay (English)

* InnocentCohabitation: She moves to the Hyodo Residence as a semi-permanent resident in Volume 14. Subverted in the "innocent" part, though, as she becomes one of Issei's love interests.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: He is finally promoted as an Ultimate-class Devil after the War of Evil Dragons. Part of the reason is his being a hero who beat Qlippoth alongside Issei, the other half of him being a descendant of the original Lucifer, thus needed to substitute for Sirzechs after he got sealed with Trihexa. Azazel and Sirzechs even discussed that it is only matter of time for Vali to take the title of Lucifer.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Vali from the early volumes feels like a completely different character. During his fight with Issei, he happily [[IShallTauntYou threatens to kill Issei's parents]] just to get a rise out of him, and leaves [[SoLongSuckers eager to clash]] [[WeWillMeetAgain with Issei again]]. While he is still interested in fighting Issei afterward, their relationship changes rather quickly to {{Friendly Rival}}s who spend much more time fighting with each other than against each other. He also displayed his alliance with the Khaos Brigade by attacking Azazel unprovoked despite the latter later being established as his ParentalSubstitute.

* ShipTease: While most of the characters in-universe and Ishibumi himself consider their current relationship to be in the LikeBrotherAndSister territory, Vali has lots of it with Lavinia even though he doesn't want to admit it himself. Let's see here: Getting an AffectionateNickname from her? Check. Managed to achieve his first Balance Breaker in order to release her from their enemy's MindControl, then getting thanked from her afterwards while blushing from hearing it? Check. Becomes NotSoStoic every time she appears to the point of getting hold of his embarassing secrets and later showed it to Issei (to the point of [[{{Tsundere}} sending hired thugs]] to retrieve it in the past)? Ho yes. To top the icing of the cake, [=Slash/Dog=] current illustrator Kikurage [[https://scontent.fcgk18-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/51062479_1391918067614674_9154613368542199808_n.jpg?_nc_cat=111&_nc_ht=scontent.fcgk18-2.fna&oh=770ec01acd53288300ff6f8dc713cb0b&oe=5D9D7CB3 drew an illustration of Lavinia carrying what appears to be an Albion avatar]] [[https://slashdog.fandom.com/wiki/File:SLASHD%C3%98G_2_volume_cover.jpg that is shown to be sticking around to Vali]] throughout the novel.

'''Voiced by:''' Makoto Yasumura (Japanese) and David Trosko (English)

* ShesGotLegs: Her legs get shown quite a lot due to her kimono having an open slit.

* {{Foil}}: To Issei -- he's talented, and said to be the strongest holder of Divine Dividing thus far, while Issei lacks any kind of talent and is said to be the weakest holder of Boasted Gear thus far. In terms of personality Vali [[BloodKnight is more interested in fighting]] just as Issei is [[LovableSexManiac towards sex]]. Their upbringing are also different. While Issei's childhood was filled with happiness and love, Vali's was anything but. On a more comedic note, while Vali definitely sees fighting as {{better than sex}}, turns out he does have an interest in women, particularly their butts as opposed to their breasts.

** His new Juggernaut Drive chant, [[UpToEleven Juggernaut Overdrive]].

* TheAce: He's descended from the original Lucifer, and as such, he has enough magical power and potential to learn Norse magic by [[InstantExpert simply reading it]]. He's also extremely strong and can maintain Balance Breaker for months, according to Azazel. To top it off he could control and use Juggernaut Drive for a few minutes without losing control, making him a {{Foil}} to Issei.
** The EX spinoff even softly recognized him as both a future Super Devil and one of the Archdevils.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Juggernaut Overdrive, was considered this when Vali first unlocked it. Despite increasing Vali's power to enough to fight against God-class beings, the form only lasted for a extremely short period of time, which only allowed Vali to use for a single attack. Sun Wukong later calls him out on the impracticality of the form later on. Though, during volume 24, it is revealed that Vali managed to stabilize the consumption of the form, allowing him to use it for long term battles.
