History Manga / MakaiOuji

* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Michael, though he seems to abhore humans touching him. Sytry and Dantalion in regards to William.

** Sion, William's "fag", is really [[spoiler: the archangel Metatron.]]

* OurDemonsAreDifferent: The demons shown are either FallenAngels, Nephilim, or HalfHumanHybrids. They are also not immortal. As the elector, William is supposed to choose someone to be Lucifer's successor when he dies.

* {{Reincarnation}}: [[spoiler: William is the reincarnation of his distant ancestor Solomon, which apparently means he should have inherited Solomon's memories (but he didn't).]]

* ReligionIsMagic

* RunningGag: Kevin's gambling problem. Sytry and sweets. Dantalion and meatheads. Solomon seducing every demon he meets for his pillars. Demons and angels appearing out of nowhere.

** [[Uriel/Kevin has later been revealed to have Sadistic tendencies, and is refered by various people in the cast to be "the Sadistic Angel", a sadist]]
** Uriel is called a sadist, mostly by the demons.

* StoicSpectacles: Camio.
* StoryBreakerPower: Solomon's ring. It's so powerful that it puts both Heaven and Hell on edge.

* TallDarkAndHandsome: Dantalion.

* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Michael.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: When William is put on trial for cheating.

* OneManArmy: Any sufficiently high-ranking being.

* BerserkButton: Insulting JoanOfArc in front of Gilles De Rais has the effect of detonating TNT.

* HeavenAndHell: The larger overall plot is the struggle between Heaven and Hell.

* HolyHandGrenade
* HornedHumanoid: Several characters have horns, including Lamia, Beelzebub, and Samael.

* HumansAreFlawed: A major theme of the series.

* {{Jerkass}}: Michael.

* LadyOfWar: While she hasn't been shown in combat yet, with her military inspired outfits and giant warship, Astaroth certainly gives off this impression.

* ConspicuousCG: Dantalion's flames.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Kevin.

* DarkIsNotEvil: At least not universally.

* DepravedBisexual: Gilles.

** In the manga, there are only maids and William has Dantalion doing another job because [[FanDisservice he doesn't want to]]
* FantasticRacism: Many high-ranking angels and "pureblood" demons (technically {{fallen angels}}) hold humans in contempt, and this extends to angels/demons who used to be human.

* BigSleep: How demons and most likely angels usually end up dying. (As in, if they don't get any sleep and become weak, when they do enter their "hibernation" phase, they risk gradually fading away.)

* BlueBishounenGhetto
* BluffTheImposter: William does this to Uriel after finding out that the real Kevin went his separate way after William's parents died.
* BoardingSchool: William attends one.
* {{Brainwashed}}: Anyone who becomes a "[[CosmicPlaything Pawn of Heaven]]".
* BreakTheCutie: Sytry.
* BrokenAngel: Sytry and Uriel. Sytry's a FallenAngel and Uriel has only one wing left.

** ArchangelUriel: Although he's not an archangel anymore, he's a major character. Edging closer and closer to FallenAngel state, with only one wing remaining.

* BarrierWarrior: Uriel, in the beginning. It's later revealed [[spoiler:when he confesses what he truly is to William]] [[PersonOfMassDestruction that this is far from all he can do]] [[spoiler:especially since he's the ''only'' angel ballsy enough to '''break into Hell''' and rain down destruction... twice]]

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: At least partly why Dantalion was more or less nice to Solomon and William as a result.

* ButtMonkey: Uriel is one to the other big-name angels.

** ArchangelMichael: Also a major character and [[spoiler:villain, Lucifer's younger brother]].

* GeckoEnding: The (first season of the?) anime ended with [[spoiler: Lucifer, Sytry, and Cameo remaining in Hell after Lucifer woke up, and everyone except William and possibly Kevin seemingly forgetting about them.]] This takes place around the time chapter 32, though, aside from Lucifer awakening, none of these happen in the manga.

* InLoveWithYourCarnage: Gilles towards Joan, so much.

* UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper: But of course.

* KarmaHoudini: Gilles, considering the ''[[{{Understatement}} appalling]]'' things he did while alive.

* KidWithTheLeash: William with the 72 pillars (read: demons) of Solomon. He seems to be able to control and limit their powers, though no one is sure how exactly.

* ManipulativeBastard: Michael.

* NightmareFetishist: Isaac is fascinated by the occult. He's thrilled to meet the many legendary demons and angels that follow in William's wake. In the anime, he says he's afraid of ghosts, though.

* SecularHero: William, though he's eventually [[FlatEarthAtheist forced to retract his opinion]] on the existence of the supernatural when he's drawn right into its midst.

[[GuileHero William Twining]] is a [[SecularHero realist]] who lives a comfortable life with his uncle, [[BlueBlood Lord Barton]], and his butler, Kevin, in VictorianBritain. Despite believing in the power of science over the power of God, William attends a prestigious and expensive school with the hope of eventually becoming a successful politician or lawyer. On returning home for the holidays, however, he is received by Kevin, who informs him that Uncle Barton's business endeavors have failed and that [[RichesToRags the Twining family is now essentially bankrupt]]. Desperate to find ''something'' of value to sell in order to pay off his overdue school fees, William searches the now-empty mansion and stumbles upon a SecretUndergroundPassage leading to a locked door. He breaks the door down, accidentally cutting his hand in the process. When [[BloodMagic blood from the wound drips onto a seal carved into the floor]], the demon Dantalion, duke of the 36th army of hell, is inadvertently summoned. Dantalion declares that the demons' emperor [[{{Satan}} Lucifer]] has taken to a long sleep and that the demon world needs a leader to rule in his place. He then reveals that William is the heir of King Solomon... and that he's the only one who can decide who will become the acting ruler.

* JackTheRipper: But of course.

** In the manga, there are only maids and William has Dantalion doing another job because [[FanDisservice he deosn't want to]]
