** [[TheManBehindTheMan Yumeji Hisaomi, better known as Tsukihisa Oumi]], is one of the members of the twelve higher-ups of the Urukai and is the fake younger [[CainAndAbel brother]] of Urukai's leader, Nichinaga Oumi. During his meeting with Nichinaga and his wife in the past, Yumeji then brainwashed Nichinaga by turning him into his loyal older brother and turns his wife into his personal log-keeper. After the two brothers founded the Urukai together, he then pioneered a brutal brainwashing program, and it was also revealed that he and his brother [[GrandTheftMe body-jacked other people's bodies]] for centuries in order to survive. After Nichinaga recovers from Yumeji's mind control and rebels against Yumeji, Yumeji, the two go to war against each other. In order to win the war, Yumeji destroyed several Shinyuuchi across Japan and orders his subordinates to take an entire town as a hostage during the assault on Karasumori. When Masamori becomes suspicious towards Yumeji, the latter then tries to brainwash Masamori, and after he was killed by one of Nichinaga's subordinates, he then body-jacked said subordinate and then impaled Nichinaga. He then taunts Nichinaga about nothing will change after Masamori reforms the Urukai and then tries to bring Nichinaga's body as a proof of the rebellion. Despite his [[FauxAffablyEvil polite facade]] towards other people, Yumeji is a person who tries to satiate his pride and ego to win a petty rivalry against his younger brother.

** [[HeWhoFightsMonsters Mudou]] is the former member of the Urukai who initially appears as a benevolent mentor of one of the Urukai members, Masamori Sumimura.

After he went into said realm, he then proceeded to massacre the God's servant and then tries to find the master of the land, Tan'yuu, while destroying everything in his path. After Tan'yuu is captured by Mudou, Mudou then began to [[MindRape mentally torture]] him under the pretense of judging him for his sins, while revealing that he wants to consume Tan'yuu's soul and admitting himself that he had been killing countless innocent humans.

In addition, he is also responsible for the revival of a huge and destructive Ayakashi known as the Kurokabuto. After being found out by one of the members of the Urukai, Ichirou then tries to decapitate said member, and changes his strategy to attack the Holyland across Japan, known as Shinyuuchi, in order to incriminate Masamori and his family by using a picture of his mother. It was revealed that he was horribly abusive towards one of his younger brothers, Rokurou, and when Ichirou got wounded during the fight against Masamori, he then transfers his wounds towards Rokurou, causing the latter physical pain.

* ViewerGenderConfusion: The gender confusion over Madarao because he used Japanese feminine pronouns was bad enough that the creator had to step in and set things straight for the readers. The translators of the official English publication of the manga were the biggest victims.
** He uses Japanese feminine pronouns in the original manga. In translations and the anime it's clear he's a guy.
** The mangaka originally intended for Madarao to be female, but she never specifically said so and the anime used a male seiyuu. So she went with it and Madarao is now officially male.

* FridgeBrilliance: Tokine's use of her kekkai as spears really fits, given that females of historical Japan were likely to use spears to fight (usually the ''[[BladeOnAStick naginata]]'').
** Also, the staff used by Tokine and her grandmother looks like a Venus (♀) female symbol, the DistaffCounterpart to the Mars (♂) male symbol.
