[[caption-width-right:350:I can't understand a word you're saying, but I know you're insulting my king!]] The leader of a squad transporting a group of death-row condemned "criminal heretics" from the faith of Asteros. He and his group take an immediate dislike to Yotsuya's party despite being rescued in episode 5.
----
* AndThenWhat: Supposing that the war goes well and Dokkel manages to conquer the continent, what's going to happen when there's no one else to enslave? How is the "god king" going to keep his oath to give the widows, orphans, and crippled war-veterans one free slave per household then?
* CulturalPosturing: As part of his introductions, he goes out of his way to insult Kahvel's nation of origin, thinking his larger country is inherently superior. Kahvel responds in kind.
* CycleOfRevenge: Nobody knows who started it, but for generations his "King worship" faction and the Asterious "God and King" faction have been locked in a blood-feud where both sides are constantly vying to destroy everything precious to each other, for generations, the final straw being the toppling of some statues belonging to revered legendary "heroes" and the burning of some "holy texts."
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The narrative is an eerie match to Japan's dark history of persecution of Christianity. The emperor, worshipped as a god, saw Christianity as synonymous with "treason," and his followers put more and more pressure on the church until the church had enough and fought back, at which time Imperial decree called them "evil" and purges were undertaken, leaving no house safe.
* EnemyMine: The entirety of episode 6 involves him and his squad loathing the fact that they're being escorted by Yotsuya's party, especially Kahvel, but seeing as they needed to deliver their prisoners alive to Rodoboro, they had no choice but to accept the escort, especially Yotsuya's healing magic. Of course, at the very first opportunity, he betrays, tricks, and traps them in a labyrinth full of death-traps.
* TheFarmerAndTheViper: Seeing them in dire straits in episode 5, Yotsuya's party rushes in to help them fight off the [Kobold] werewolves. The moment the monsters are defeated, they begin angrily glaring at the heroes and Kahvel, and it only gets worse from there.
* FreudianExcuse: As a small child, his father came home from war badly and permanently crippled. It's only because his country's king gave the family of every badly crippled or killed war veteran one free slave that he and his surviving relatives managed to avoid starving to death in abysmal poverty.
* TheFundamentalist: He and his squad worship their sovereign king like a god and will respond with lethal force against anyone who disagrees, the very first chance they get.
* MoralMyopia: Attacking and declaring war with every other nation? Well, the king has good intentions, so it must be okay. The attacked nations dare to fight back? They're "evil" and must be completely conquered, the citizens enslaved. After all, how are the families of the crippled and killed soldiers expected to survive otherwise?
* TautologicalTemplar: Since he sees his king as an unflinchingly good man, then everything the king does must be unflinchingly good too, even if that includes conquering and enslaving every other country in the world.
* WithUsOrAgainstUs: If you're not openly cheering for the country of Dokkel and its king, especially the goal of TakeOverTheWorld, you are "evil" and must be slain.

[[caption-width-right:350:There's nothing I like more than cutting living flesh!]]A knight Yotsuya meets at a martial arts tournament he participates in so as to acquire horses to complete the GM's quest. She beats him in a matter of seconds.
----
* AceCustom: Her sword Loikayeska is custom-ordered, costing 20 times the price of a regular sword, and can cut through necks like a hot knife through butter.
* BloodKnight: For bonus points, she's an actual knight. As seen in the image quote, her favorite activity is slicing living flesh.
* CulturalRebel: She does not want to be the "happy housewife" because then she won't be able to enjoy cutting through living flesh, so she begged her father to let her become a knight. He agreed to keep her happy and out of trouble.
* DorkKnight: From a distance, she's the epitome of a KnightInShiningArmor. Up close, she's as goofy as all get out.
* AFriendInNeed: Without her help, there's no way Yotsuya would have managed to rescue the rest of his party from bandits, or finished the GM assigned quest to get to the other side of the country in less than 35 days.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Literally. She's a knight, wears shining armor, and also lives up to the trope by helping the helpless, rescuing innocents, and smiting the guilty.
* MentorArchetype: She takes up training Yotsuya's party in how to handle the sword. As tough as her training is, this is something they all really, really need.

ZigZagged with the chef class, which also limits his combat options but also allows him to see a monster's vital areas, turning him into something of a GlassCannon.
* {{Expy}}: Could be seen as one for Kazuma from LightNovel/KonoSuba. He's the NoRespectGuy who, on paper, appears to be TheLoad to his party of powerful warriors, when in reality it's his party who's useless due to either their personality quirks or their abilities, while he's TheSmartGuy who comes up with the strategies that help them complete quests.
* NoRespectGuy: Due to [[BornUnlucky somehow]] consistently getting traditionally non-combat classes, his party members don't really think much of him even when he's able to [[WeakButSkilled work around the weaknesses and even take advantage of the class skills]]. Even when Yuka explains to Shindo that she used him as TheScapegoat so she could reconcile with the girls trying to film her naked to ensure they wouldn't bully her again, Shindo doesn't call her out on it like she expected.

Her reasoning is sound. She figured the bullies would have come after her again later, and Yotsuya was a complete unknown she wasn't sure she'd ever meet again.

* CrimeOfSelfDefense: In episode 4, the party is attacked by bandits, and the bandits come at them with weapons. He retaliates and ''scratches'' one of them. In response, the GM takes off a rank from his [Chef] job. Fortunately, this penalty doesn't occur when he later is forced to parry blows from the bandits and then counter with a punch to the face.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Hers is revealed in episode 4. Back when she was 5, since she fought back when insulted or bullied, she gained the reputation of being a trouble-maker, until she made a friend with a teenage woman. The unnamed teen was bullied to suicide with Shindo's father happily bragging to his drinking buddies that the woman deserved it, for being "ugly" ''right outside Shindo's door.'' Then at the funeral everyone's [[CondescendingCompassion "consoling"]] Shindo by saying that's not going to happen to her because she's pretty. Then when she enters Elementary School, ''the teachers'' start to bully her, because they've got a grudge with her dad. Fortunately, ''the other kids'' called said teachers out on it.

----
* LiteralGenie: He will answer the quest reward question exactly as it's asked. He does not grasp sarcasm or subtlety.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Since he only explains the ground rules, gives jobs via roulette, and assigns quests, and then just leaves, the quest party members tend to die, a lot, which might have been avoided if he actually answered questions, aside from the one question he answers when a quest reward.
* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: At the end of episode two, Yotsuya asks the logical question AndThenWhat, once all the quests are completed. The GM provides a holographic video showing Tokyo being attacked by monsters with Yotsuya leading the defense.
* VerbalTic: The GM has an annoying habit of finishing a sentence missing the final syllable.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: The reason he's kidnapping these kids and putting them through a NintendoHard alternate game-like world is to train them up to deal with an oncoming monster invasion into Tokyo, where millions of lives are at stake.

----
* AccidentalPervert: He follows the GM's quest to recruit Yuka only to find her pinned to the ground in the girl's bathroom, being stripped and filmed by bullies.
* ByronicHero: He's moody, cynical, and borderline misanthropic, but he does mean well, and those who can get past his rough edges will find that he's actually very, very loyal and kind.
* CountryMouse: He comes from a very rural area of Japan and loved it. When his family transferred to Tokyo to start his high-school year, he reacts as if he was thrown into hell.
* TheCynic: His outlook on life is quite jaded.
* EndearinglyDorky: Since he's never chatted up a girl before, especially not since coming to Tokyo, when he suddenly finds himself having to deal with an all-female party (aside from himself), with a SchoolIdol in the mix, he can barely get a word out before he finds his foot in his mouth, and all his attempts to look cool backfire, and he finds that he just can't help but say whatever flies through his head, even if he realizes it's not helping. The ladies of the party like him because he's honest and sincere, even if he is clumsy, and they can tell that their well-being is his top priority, even if it is pragmatic.
* FriendlessBackground: Played with. In his rural home town, he had lots of friends. He withdrew into himself when he was transferred to Tokyo.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: While his "farming" job has yet to amount to much, the "chef" job he got half-way through episode 2 is a godsend. Not only does it provide him with indestructible bladed cooking implements, but it comes with the ability to identify most monsters he comes across and find their vitals and weak-points, allowing him to use critical strikes to take down monsters way above his party's weight class.
* LoopholeAbuse: In episode 3, he figures out that while he can't hold Kusue's weapon, there's nothing stating that he can't use Kusue's weapon if she's the one wielding it, as long as he's simply physically guiding her sword swing.
* TheOneGuy: For unexplained reasons, he's the only guy who was chosen by the GM to be whisked away to the alternate game-like world. All the rest are girls.
* WrongAssumption: He figured Kusue would be safe in the village while he hunted goblins, looking to raise his rank. The troll went after the village while he was away...

* BlowYouAway: Her "job" is a wind-mage, which isn't as awe inspiring as it sounds.
* EatenAlive: The first victim of the troll attack.
* FightingBackIsWrong: When she was five, she was quite the tomboy and wouldn't take insults lying down, even on-screen making the boy who insulted her cry (of course, the boy then went running to mom going "she hit me!" while crying.) Her unnamed friend and role-model taught her this is the wrong approach before her death.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Blonde and a good, kind woman who is treasured by her class.
* HarmfulToMinors: At age 5, her role model and OnlyFriend died in an unstated incident. Her own father laughed at the death saying "she was such a good girl [[ButterFace except for her face]]", stating that she deserved it for being homely. When Shindo attended the funeral, all the voices around her said "good thing you're pretty, or something like that will happen to you!"
* SchoolIdol: She's the #1 girl of the class where the story takes place.
* StepfordSmiler: Her popular, outgoing persona is all fake. She's actually terrified that if she stops being pretty and popular, she's going to face a gristly death.
