* HairDecorations: A hair clip with jeweled snowflakes, given to her by Tatsuya.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Gets annoyed everytime Kei is complimented or is acting nice to other girls.

-->'''Mayumi''':... Tatsuya-kun, are you planning to fight them?
-->'''Tatsuya''': That's an incorrect way to put it. I'm not going to fight them, I am going to annihilate them.

* EveryoneHasStandards: He doesn't judge Miyuki for magically lobotomizing their enemies, but he quietly prevents the spells from connecting. It's unclear whether this was to protect her [[UnreliableNarrator perceived]] moral purity or out of empathy for the victims (because he knows what being MindRape[=d=] is like).

* HappinessInSlavery: The '''only'''' emotion left unmuted by the Yotsuba's operation was Tatsuya's empathy- specifically, his empathy for his designated 'master'. The most happiness he will ever feel is that of his controller, so even though he's not brainwashed in the typical sense, he pretty much ''has'' to obey. Miyuki hasn't been able to fix this, so in the meantime she compensates by serving him in different ways than he serves her.

* IJustWantToBeFree: All he wants is to live a nice peaceful life with his sister. Unfortunately, there are '''a lot''' of factions who want to control them, and he can't kill all of them without plunging the world into anarchy. Hence, the series' plot is about his efforts to civilly maneuver away from these factions and keep his powers a secret. [[RuleOfDrama Naturally, he fails.]]

%%* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's hinted that it's no coincidence Tatsuya was born into the family he was, at the time he was. (Especially superstitious Yotsuba believe he's punishment for what they did to the Dahan.) Since ''Mahouka'''s setting is Shintoist in nature, this implication means less 'yay, we're saved', than 'try not to piss off the dragon'.

[[folder: Tatsuya & Miyuki Shiba]]

* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: His default method to soothe Miyuki.

* AlmostKiss: Twice. Miyuki nearly kissed him while he was sleeping and they needed to be very close in volume 11 for Miyuki to kill a Parasite.

** She gives green light to Honoka to go after her brother and sometimes helps Honoka out with this matter.

* ImpliedLoveInterest: Along with what has been said above, Miyuki is strongly implied as one of such heroines. She from the very beginning is next to Tatsuya and despite the fact that they are siblings and he does not see a woman in it, together they share most of the romantic moments in the series. Moreover, as the only close person in his life and as the only girl to whom he can have strong feelings, it is Miyuki who is jealous of him towards other girls.

* FreudianExcuse: Main reason she became messed up as she is was because of her being abducted and experimented on by Dahan at the age of 12. Her sister Miya's botched attempt to use her MentalManipulation magic to help her woundedd psyche didn't help.
* OlderThanTheyLook: So, as Maya is the twin sister of Shiba siblings's mother, she also looks 10-15 years younger than she really is.

* OutOfCharacter: Moment: Despite her "apparent" infantilism and spoiledness, in a series of important moments for the plot, Miyuki becomes very serious or even cynical. [[Spoiler: Although it is believed that this is her original mature personality, the plot depicts this rather controversially.]]

* DrivenToMadness: Her abduction and inflicted harm caused her desire to [[spoiler: destroy the world with Tatsuya power.]]

%%* HotWitch: Sort of.
%%* LightEmUp
* OlderThanTheyLook: So, as Maya is the twin sister of Shiba siblings's mother, she also looks 10-15 years younger than she really is.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: And using Skype. Maya is the main antagonist of the series, but she doesn't especially care what the protagonists do as long as they're still under her thumb.

* PerfectlyArrangedMarriage: [[spoiler:With Koichi, before her abduction.]]

* TheDumbledore[=/=]ManChild: Despite his reputation, he is quite childish and likes to play pranks on Tatsuya and tease Miyuki.

%%* BadassGrandpa

* {{Foil}}: To Tatsuya. Both are analytical, educated, polite and talented youngsters, however; both have their respective differences. Where Tatsuya is aloof and somewhat awkward, Masaki is a GentlemanAndAScholar. Where Tatsuya is [[HumbleHero humble]], Masaki is arrogant, confident and [[ArrogantKungFuGuy convinced of his superiority in his talents]]. And finally, while Tatsuya was early belittled by his peers, Masaki was always respected and praised among his peers (probably due to his social etiquette).

%%* {{Expy}}: Of Suzaku Kururugi from ''Anime/CodeGeass''.

* SpoiledSweet: By her father.

* SpoiledSweet: Treats Tatsuya and Miyuki the same despite Tatsuya's status of guardian.

%%* SpoiledSweet: Just like Shizuku.

* SpoiledSweet: Because of her brother's status, Miyuki does not have to treat him well, yet she tries to devote her whole life to him, even though sometimes it takes quite strange forms...

* AntiHero: [[PragmaticHero The Pragmatic variation]]. On the one hand, he is a rather kind guy, and on the other, the lack of strong emotions and the constant need to reconcile with the clan because of Miyuki, made him cynical and ready to do violent deeds.

* {{Asexuality}}: He has almost no sexual lust. [[spoiler: He can still feel physical arousal, but avoids actions and thoughts that would cause it.]]. Moreover, his sister is the only person who interests him; whom he himself says that the love for her is stronger in him than the love for the opposite sex.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: After the events of [[spoiler: Yotsuba Maya's kidnapping]] the Yotsuba family agreed to the use of Yotsuba Miya's Mental Interference Magic on her own unborn son. The idea was to create the ultimate magician, a person so powerful that he could protect the Yotsuba forever and prevent anymore tragedies [[spoiler: such as the loss of over 30 members of the Yotsuba clan in their private war with Dahan including the deaths of key individuals such as the Clan Head.]] To put it bluntly it worked. Tatsuya was born with the power to [[spoiler: literally destroy the world. The subsequent operation to neuter his emotions was to prevent his magic from accidentally going out of control due to an emotional outburst. A large number of the Clan including several branch family heads were terrified of Tatsuya's power. They wanted a magical demigod and got one only to realize that they had a ticking time bomb on their hands. They had planned to execute Tatsuya as an infant only to be overruled by the then Clan Head. Their contemptuous treatment of Tatsuya is due to their bitterness at having their hopes fulfilled in such a manner.]]

* BigBrotherInstinct: Endangering Miyuki is the only way to genuinely anger Tatsuya. [[spoiler:The one time Miyuki's life was actually in danger he went on a rampage so devastating it earned him the nickname [[TheDreaded Mahesvara]] from the Chinese. He killed their guys so hard an ''entire nation'' dare not even speak his name. At the same time, his concern for the happiness Miyuki comes to such an extent that it seems to be ready to truly love her as a woman if need be. As a result, he did not even reject her after the declaration of love, saying that he might be able to fall in love with her in the future]].

* BrokenAce: His practical school results aside, he is a TeenGenius and is good at every sports, he is so good that his friends joke that he's omnipotent. [[spoiler: But most of his friends aren’t aware of his troubled past and how Tatsuya views himself because of this operation.]]

* CelibateHero: Justified. He can't feel strong emotions like love

** He single-handedly curb stomped [[spoiler:the Great Asian Alliance army that invaded Okinawa three years before the start of the series after some of the soldiers allied with them shot Miyuki. He had the 101st with him, but he was so enraged that he practically decomposed ''everything'' before it could touch him or before his allies could shoot it, all while restoring any allies that fell in battle. He concluded the affairs by field-experimenting his new shiny magic theory - the "Material Burst" for the first time and proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that, regardless of the Yotsubas' beliefs regarding his ability as a magician, he was stronger than all of them and the only reason he didn't bother to correct them was because he only cared about Miyuki.]]

* DeathGlare: He gives one to a committee organizer who he catches trying to upload a virus into Miyuki's CAD in episode 17. He's only stopped because Retsu Kudou personally came to the inspection area to see what was the ruckus was, the latter also being displeased that there was someone like that working for him.

* DontMakeMeDestroyYou: When Erika, his friend, is about to reveal the fact that she knows about his true identity, he orders her to stop speaking. This is because if she didn't, he would have to kill her to protect the secret.
* TheDreaded: [[spoiler: Those who know his true powers, most notably the Chinese, are very scared of him. Also, in volume 17, he becomes this to the school after the reveal of their identity as Yotsuba]]

** The only one which stayed intact is his: [[spoiler:"[[BigBrotherInstinct brotherly love]]"]]
* EnergyBall: Gram Demolition is a cannonball of Psions.

* EveryoneHasStandards: He doesn't judge Miyuki for magically lobotomizing their enemies, but he quietly prevents the spells from connecting. It's unclear whether this was to protect her [[UnreliableNarrator perceived]] moral purity or out of empathy for the victims because he knows what being [=MindRape=]d is like.

* GoalInLife: His dream is to develop a Gravity Control-Type Thermonuclear Fusion Reactor so that Magicians won't be treated as mere weapons.

* HyperCompetentSidekick: Hence the reason why most of his Senpais abuse him.

* KungFuWizard: Practices Ninjutsu, although it is considered Ancient Magic.

* MilkingTheMonster: No one (except Miyuki) really wants Tatsuya alive, as his very existence is a risk to the world, but since he's not about to let anybody kill him, various factions find it useful to have him around. Would ''you'' dismiss someone who could duplicate jewellery at a moment's notice?
* MindRape: Was subjected to one as a child, [[AndIMustScream apparently while conscious]]. It's one reason why he's so unwilling to leave the Yotsuba, who perpetrated it.

* MoreThanMindControl: [[PowerLimiter Miyuki]]'s influence doesn't change Tatsuya's personality so much as it dilutes it to human levels. (He's still introverted, but he doesn't completely cut himself off from others.) This implies that the operation 'only' amplified his [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature_versus_nurture nature through crippling his capacity to be affected by others' treatment of him.]]

* StrongFamilyResemblance: Almost prevented. On the one hand he is very similar to his father, and on the other, he is almost no similar to his sister with the exception of hair and eye color. [[spoiler: As it turns out in the future, it is because the genes of his sister have been specially improved to give her a perfect look. Thus, they are different in appearance.]]

** [[spoiler: The thing about "Material Burst" is that he can use it (Reminiscence Chapter), but he was also in range of the enemy's attack (ships that could launch rockets at 20km). The "Third Eye" CAD just allows him to fire "Material Burst" at a safer distance.]]

* BarrierMaiden: Half her [=MCA=] unconsciously goes towards locking away (some of) Tatsuya's power, so he can only annihilate really big chunks of the world instead of all of it. [[spoiler:After Tatsuya's true identity is exposed and Maya refuses to protect him from the resulting assassins, Miyuki goes 'Fuck it' and has her brain altered so it is no longer the trope.]]

* TheGift: Being from the Ten Master Clans she is naturally this, though even compared to the others she can use complex magic for mundane thing with ease and flawlessly. Amazing the others with her talent.

* HotBlooded: One reason why she rebelled against her family's expectations is they required her to be civil around people she hated, and to ignore their brainwashing of children who ''didn't'' fit in. Miyuki is the sort of person who doesn't feel alive if she's concealing her feelings, so around the age of 13 she basically stopped trying.

* SecretIdentity: [[spoiler: Must hide that she is a Yotsuba]].

* SexIsEvilAndIAmHorny: The main reason she attacks Tatsuya in the first volume is because he either doesn't reciprocate her attraction to him or he does [[GreenEyedMonster but hides it better than she does]]. So not only is she perverted, but she is ''alone'' in her perversion.

* TheSixthRanger: Even though she spends more time with Tatsuya she qualifies by not being one of his classmates. Her two friends too.

* AesopAmnesia: They were ''horrified'' by infant Tatsuya's destructive potential...and then they thought [[JustThinkOfThePotential 'why don't we try to use it against our enemies?'. So they enslaved him, made him into a ruthless killing machine, etc, and then several years later someone else frees Tatsuya and he is not pleased with the family who made his life a living hell]].

* ALessonLearnedTooWell: They made it so Tatsuya would ([[MoralityPet probably]]) not destroy the world because of emotional extremes. However, he may now destroy the world because he is sociopathic.

* DrivenToMadness: Her abduction and inflicted harm caused to what she wants to [[spoiler: destroy the world with Tatsuya power.]]

* ForTheEvulz: It seems that she enjoys provoking people. In particular, she specifically tells Miyuki that the Saegusa clan is trying to pairing Tatsuya with Mayumi so Miyuki will become jealous.
* RapeAsDrama: She lost the opportunity to give birth after experiments during her abduction at the age of 12. This also caused the Saegusa family to abandon the marriage of their heir with her.

* WickedStepmother: [[spoiler: She states that Tatsuya is her son and adopts his, but in fact it is made to Miyuki was able to marry him as his "cousin". Moreover, thanks to this she deliberately puts them both in a very risky situation in order to provoke the end of the world.]]

* RoleReprisal: Was played by Yuuichi Nakamura in the audio drama CD.

* RoleReprisal: Was played by Saori Hayami in the audio drama [=CD=].

* {{Hypocrite}}: In the Conference arc, Tatsuya says that the magical community does not enforce ArrangedMarriage[=s=] (only [[PeerPressure encourage]] them). This prompts Mari to ask how much choice Tatsuya and his sister had in who they were married to.

* ImprobableAimingSkills[=/=]SpreadShot: Can snipe 36 targets simultaneously.

* AuraVision[=/=]MagicalEye: She can see Pushions.

* BattleCouple[=/=]OfficialCouple: [[spoiler: With Chiba Naotsugu.]]

* BlowYouAway[=/=]ElementalArmor: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Air Armor]].

* InSeriesNickname[=/=]MyHeroZero: Range-Zero.

%%* BattleCouple[=/=]OfficialCouple: With Kanon.
* {{Bishonen}}[=/=]DudeLooksLikeALady: Frequently lampshaded.

* FlechetteStorm[=/=]PaperMaster: Million Edge. He is able to throw '''1,036,800''' paper blades.

%%* TheAce

%%* OneHitKill: Rupture if it hits you will cause you to explode horribly with all of the fluid in your body being vaporized.

%%* PrettyBoy:

* BarrierMaiden: Half her [=MCA=] unconsciously goes towards locking away (some of) Tatsuya's power, so he can only annihilate really big chunks of the world instead of all of it. [[spoiler:After Tatsuya's true identity is exposed and Maya refuses to protect him from the resulting assassins, Miyuki goes 'Fuck it' and has her brain altered so it is no longerthe trope.]]
