History Characters / TheIrregularAtMagicHighSchoolMainCharacters

* CoolGun: His [=CADs=], Silver Horn, Third Eye, and Trident, are shaped like one.

* TomatoInTheMirror: Miyuki accepted early on in her childhood that [[CloningBlues Guardians]] are human beings who deserve rights, which is convenient given that [[spoiler:she's also an artificial creation]].

* JerkassBall: Although the author mostly tries to portray Tatsuya as a NiceGuy and a very pacifist man, sometimes he gets demonstratively cynical or pro-nationalistic scenes only so that the development of the arc does not go along a peaceful path, and Tatsuya constantly reminds about his "emotionless" to the reader.

%%* NervesOfSteel

* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Both Erika (good friend and fellow Couse Two Student) and Mayumi (Student Council president) are both energetic than he is and more passionate about their goals. He is more about quietely responding to what they do.

* TheSociopath: Became one after experiencing MindRape in his childhood. Though not actively malicious, he can't value the lives of strangers or reliably interpret people's emotions. It's also plyed with in that he clearly values the well-being of his sister and his friends above all else, so many of his actions lead to benign outcomes rather than harmful ones.

* UnwantedHarem: In his case, it's an [[CluelessChickMagnet Unnoticed]] Harem. Aside from Miyuki and Honoka, Tatsuya gets borderline romantic moments with Mayumi, Erika, [[spoiler: Lina]] and Pixie; all of whom have expressed interest in him on different points of the series.

* IAmWho: In the ''Dream Game'' crossover, Tatsuya and Miyuki are dragged into [[LightNovel/SwordArtOnline a video game]] to serve as [=NPCs=]. They deduce that Miyuki is supposed to play the role of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ger%C3%B0r Geror]], and Tatsuya one of the male family members who protects her. But they gave the [=SAO=] developers too much credit for being mythologically accurate: Tatsuya actually plays the role of the god of death, a Hades-esque figure who keeps Gerd trapped in the underworld.

* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: With both Erika and Mayumi.
* ScienceHero: Tatsuya personally developed their own weapons and is known as one of the best technicians in the country. Moreover, his main goal in life is to become an engineer.

* SecretlySelfish: He goes along with most requests/orders other people give him, but only because a) he's been conditioned to, and b) obeying is usually easier than refusing. As long as the people he cares about are safe, he doesn't really care what goes on in the world.

* SingleTargetSexuality: Subverted: Miyuki is literally the single important person in his life, but he is not capable of experiencing romantic attraction even to her.

* TheSociopath: Became one after experiencing MindRape in his childhood. Though not actively malicious, he can't value the lives of strangers or reliably interpret people's emotions. Also subverted in that he clearly values the well-being of his sister and his friends above all else so many of his actions lead to benign outcomes rather than harmful ones.

* PassiveAggressiveKombat: The only degree to which he can express anything other than total rage. For example, during a conversation with his father, Tatsuya says calmly that he "[[ExactWords can't]]" hate Miyu. His ''expression'' says "because she emotionally mutilated me, that bitch". Similarly, during the Reminiscence arc, he was always quiet and obedient but clearly angry at... everyone,

* HypercompetentSidekick: The reason why most of his senpais exploit him.

* AntiMagic: He is able to use the two strongest Counter Magic Gram Demolition and Gram Dispersion. He also found a way to use Cast Jamming without Antinite.[[spoiler: Taken {{Up To Eleven}} with his new magic Gatekeeper, where he completely blocks a magician from using magic.]]

* PersonOfMassDestruction: As a Strategic Class magician. [[spoiler: His strongest magic "Material Burst" is capable of converting matter to energy according to Einstein's E=MC^2 equation. In theory, he could vaporize the Earth. WordOfGod even states that Tatsuya [[UpToEleven doesn't have an upper limit in decomposing substances, as long as he can perceive it.]][[note]]There is no upper limit to how much energy Material Burst can convert. If the object's structure is somewhat uniform the energy can be converted indefinitely. Here, "uniform structure" doesn't mean that its components are uniform, but that there's no functional complexity, as there is in gears, circuit boards, the organs of higher-functioning beings, and dividing. For example, even objects like small planes, over which various minerals are spread out unevenly, are uniform in structure in the sense that they are "a lump of minerals". And so, if Tatsuya is able to merely perceive it - even if it's a tiny planet - he can convert it to energy and eliminate it. Meaning that he can decompose an entire planet and convert it into energy for Material Burst, capable of destroying an entire galaxy.[[/note]]]]

* LuminescentBlush: Every time Tatsuya compliments her, only her cheeks blush, as the trope page clearly states. '''[[UpToEleven Every time.]]'''

* DefectorFromDecadence: By Yotsuba standards of 'decadence'. She could dominate the world, but she would rather do what little she can to heal Tatsuya's [[PoweredByAForsakenChild soul]]. Who [[Literature/TheOnesWhoWalkAwayFromOmelas walks away from Omelas]]? Miyuki does.

* SwordsIntoPlowshares: Material Burst is so vastly destructive that there's no non-military use for it, something Tatsuya feels personally ashamed by. In the third volume of ''Magian Company'', he learns how to use the spell to obliterate dangerous meteors, much to his happiness.

* TheSociopath: Became one after being MindRape[=d=] in his childhood. Though not actively malicious, he can't value the lives of strangers or reliably interpret people's emotions. Also subverted in that he clearly values the well-being of his sister and his friends above all else so many of his actions lead to benign outcomes rather than harmful ones.

* {{Doublethink}}: He does not identify himself as an incestuous person. He would marry his sister- and he doesn't feel disgusted by her incestuous tendencies at all- but in a totally normal, fraternal sort of way. No homo.
* 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 that he and his sister are Yotsuba]].

* PlayingWithFire: Inferno magic.
* PhlebotinumRebel: She was created to kill Tatsuya if he ever threatened the world. In accordance with MurphysLaw, she came to sympathize with him over her creators and it is unlikely that she will want to uphold her duty.

* ProHumanPosthuman: He is well aware that his nature is not normal, and believes that people who are normal are more valid/safe/good than he is. This belief also comes from admiration of their capabilities; intact humans manage to juggle caring about a lot of things, while Tatsuya is driven to distraction caring about ''one''.

* PassiveAggressiveKombat: The only degree to which he can express anything other than total rage. For example, during a conversation with his father, Tatsuya says calmly that he "[[ExactWords can't]]" hate Miyu. His ''expression'' says "because she emotionally mutilated me, that bitch". Similarly, during the Reminiscence arc, he was always quiet and obedient but clearly angry at... everyone, really.

* TheTease: After they get engaged, he deliberately flirts with Miyuki because he finds her flustered-ness cute.'

* SiblingsWanted: She was happy the first time Tatsuya disobeyed her orders in ''Reminiscence'', because it was the first time he acted like a brother to her instead of a weird drone.

* MindManipulation: [[spoiler: As a Yotsuba of the first lineage Miyuki inherited a Mental Interference magic. Her Cocytus can freeze minds.]]

* OutOfCharacterMoment: 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.]]

* {{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; he himself says that the love for her is stronger in him than the love for the opposite sex.

* PassiveAggressiveKombat: The only degree to which he can express anything other than total rage. For example, during a conversation with his father, Tatsuya says calmly that he "[[ExactWords can't]]" hates Miyu. His ''expression'' says "because she emotionally mutilated me, that bitch". Similarly, during the Reminiscence arc, he was always quiet and obedient but clearly angry at... everyone, really.

* {{Doublethink}}: He does not identify himself as an incestuous person. He would marry his sister- and he doesn't feel disgusted by her incestuous tendencies at all but in a totally normal, fraternal sort of way. No homo.

* SecretlySelfish: He goes along with most requests/orders other people give him, but only because a) he's been conditioned to, and b) obeying is usually easier than refusing. As long as the people he cares about are safe, he doesn't really care what goes on in the world. Even his main goal of freeing magicians from military prescription is pursued because it would make him and Miyuki slightly more comfortable.

* HatesBeingTouched: He instinctively panics [[https://mangafox.me/manga/mahouka_koukou_no_rettousei/v02/c008/14.html upon being touched]], or when any physical interactions go [[https://mangafox.me/manga/mahouka_koukou_no_yuutousei/v04/c022/24.html in a surprising direction]].

* ShipperOnDeck: [[spoiler: Ships Mayumi and Tatsuya as a solution for Izumi, who wants Miyuki to become her Onee-sama.]]

* SuperSoldier: As DesignerBabies, she is an almost perfect soldier and guard.
* ThirdWheel: Having to share a house with [[SickeninglySweethearts Tatsuya and Miyuki]] would be hard even if they weren't siblings.

* BrilliantButLazy: He ''could'' escape the Yotsuba's influence eventually, but his dislike and fear of them simply aren't strong enough to motivate him to do so. So meanwhile, he kills people for them and guards Miyuki.

* IAmWho: In the ''Dream Game'' crossover, Tatsuya and Miyuki are dragged into [[LightNovel/SwordArtOnline a video game]] to serve as [=NPCs=]. They deduce that Miyuki is supposed to play the role of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ger%C3%B0r Gerd]], and Tatsuya one of the male family members who protect her.

* TheSociopath: Became one after being MindRape[=d=] in his childhood. Though not actively malicious, he can't value the lives of strangers or reliably interpret people's emotions.

-->''Fortunately, he was not overcome by sexual desire even with such a peerless beauty sharing the same bed with him. That did not mean he had not felt anything at all, however.''

* ThresholdGuardian: Tatsuya was the first- and not the last- person Miyuki had to convince to follow her, not ust obey her.

* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: It's like all the emotion and honesty thather mom ''didn't'' have went into Miyuki.

* RedeemingReplacement: She will be the first Yotsuba leader to give a fuck about the morality of enslaving, brainwashing, etc, and the [[NeutralEvil first to take]] an active political stance on anything (by aligning herself with a company that's pro-magician rights).

* TheSocialDarwinist: She is aware that this mindset was indocrinated into her by her family and isn't right but she still believes in it to some degree.
