History VideoGame / PhysicalExorcismSeries

* BigBad: [[spoiler:The God of reincarnation [[Literature/CthulhuMythos Nya]]]] is the evil all-powerful entity manipulating events across the entire series and causing much of the supernatural terrors [[ItAmusedMe for their amusement]].

** Nya and Gla'aki are evil deities, with the former releasing the latter into the real world to start a zombie apocalypse, all out of amusement. However, there are plenty of evil humans in the setting, such as Brucie, Jade, [[spoiler:and Lucy]], who have similar sadistic and destructive tendencies as the gods.

* CrapsackWorld: The world, though seemingly mundane, is regularly under attack by evil spirits that kill people in gruesome ways, and the humans [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters are not much better]]. This is all becuase the world is under the control of the ''Literature/CthulhuMythos'' deities, who cause misery and strife for their own amusement. Anyone who is a genuinely nice person will either die horribly, get the compassion beaten out of them and become jaded and awful, or [[VengefulGhost both]].

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Combined with MaskOfSanity. Brucie and Jade are able to blend in with society as either ordinary students or benevolent exorcists. In reality, Brucie is a cannibal and Jade is a manipulative sadist, something that James finds out too late. Even Lucy, a fellow example of this trope, is impressed by their ability to lie with a straight face.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Brucie is a cannibal who ate several of his friends, but he won't charge his clients full price for any jobs he fails.
** In the fifth ending of ''Extra Case'', Brucie is disturbed [[spoiler:when Marty hallucinates that Sally is still alive, in contrast to Jade who is amused by this tragic conclusion.]]

* MoralSociopathy: Despite their LackOfEmpathy towards others and their need for stimulation, Brucie and Jade make an effort to treat their clients with good faith. [[spoiler:In the true ending of ''Case 01'', Brucie gives Lucy a discount for the exorcism fee because he failed to save Sapphire from going insane.]] Brucie also has an odd fixation with moral consistency, since he disagrees with how meat-eating people can eat some animals, but not others.
* NobleDemon: Despite being a cannibal and rejecting the idea of altruism, Brucie always tries to keep up his end of the bargain in his exorcism contracts and gives his clients discounts or freebies if he feels that he failed to uphold the contract in some way. Jade notes that he sticks to this policy despite being dirt poor.

* PlatonicLifePartners: Brucie and Jade are an exorcist team and are always seen together, but there is no romantic relationship between them. Jade teases Brucie about being his girlfriend, but he repeatedly clarifies that their relationship is purely professional.

* SociopathicHero: The protagonists' stated job is to [[EvilVersusEvil defeat evil spirits]], but neither seem to be capable of much empathy and are both capable of telling lies with a straight face. Brucie admits he does this job because evil spirits have no human rights, which means there are no consequences for whatever he does to them. He's also a cannibal who sees no difference between eating livestock, pet animals, and humans. Jade admits she's only in this line of work for the sheer thrill of it and complains when the case sounds too corny, showing that she isn't emotionally invested in it. She also likes to manipulate people into committing crimes for her own amusement. Though this is downplayed for Jade because she at least seems to care about being with Brucie.
* VillainProtagonist: Brucie and Jade were hinted to be sociopaths in ''Case 01'', but ''Case 00'' confirms they are most definitely villains. Brucie is a cannibal who is implied to eat a certain number of people a year, including his friend James. Jade likes to use her mind-reading to manipulate people into committing crimes and orchestrated the incident where [[spoiler:Brucie ate Hans and Grete]]. Even when they work as exorcists in ''Case 01'', they're only in it for fun and profit.

The series mainly focuses on the misadventures of the exorcist duo Ghosteaters, consisting of Bruce "Brucie" Lyne and Jadrienne "Jade" Lee, who use their supernatural abilities to fight evil spirits. Unfortunately, the two are not what they seem and quickly prove to be just as horrifying as the spirits they hunt.

* NotSoDifferent:
** The duo states that those with superpowers are similar in nature to evil spirits.
** While ''Case 01'' implies that Brucie and Jade are similar to [[spoiler:Lucy]] in their LackOfEmpathy, ''Case 00'' show that Jade is similarly capable of manipulating people and orchestrating their deaths, [[spoiler:with Brucie gleefully eating Hans and Grete]].
