| 11 | !!Kuroko Koumori |
| 12 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_kuroko_7.png]] |
| 13 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/RomiPark (MotionComic version, VideoGame/GrimmsNotes collab) |
| 14 | |
| 15 | A vicious serial killer who was originally on death row, Kuroko's death sentence has been pardoned in exchange for working with the police. Now, she hunts down other vicious killers and criminals...when she isn't busy chasing skirts, that is. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | ---- |
| 18 | * NinetiesAntiHero: Kuroko almost comes off as a parody of these types of characters, personality-wise. |
| 19 | * AbnormalLimbRotationRange: Kuroko has a [[CharacterTics disquieting habit]] of cocking her head ninety degrees to one side, much like an owl does. The human neck just ''should not bend that way''. |
| 20 | * AlliterativeName: '''K'''uroko '''K'''oumori. |
| 21 | * AnimalMotifs: She evokes the image of a snake, with her bizarrely slender body, forked tongue and general craftiness. |
| 22 | * AxCrazy: Before she was hired by the police, she had already racked up a kill count of 715. |
| 23 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:Seemingly during the Rose-Colored Prison arc, but is later revealed that she was faking in an attempt to pacify Chiyo...and to get more sex out of her.]] |
| 24 | * BuxomBeautyStandard: She certainly prefers her ladies to be busty. |
| 25 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: She showed a sexual interest in Hinako in early chapters and the pilot, but this has not been revisited since and her relationship with Hinako since then has been purely platonic. |
| 26 | * ChefOfIron: She's [[HiddenDepths a surprisingly good cook]], able to fix Hinako's fiasco of a dish and regularly coming up with impressive dishes. |
| 27 | * ComedicLolicon: She is attracted to little girls like Rinko, but this is usually overshadowed by her interest in big boobs. |
| 28 | * ColorFailure: When Hinako informs her that Chiyo has "given up on her". |
| 29 | * TheCorrupter: To an extent. [[spoiler:In the "School Destruction" arc, she nudged Minako (who was the culprit until things got out of her hand) to execute the true culprit, Marie Misaka, and to sexually assault Fuuri, her rapist. Later on, Minako has set up a bomb-making shop and keeps Fuuri in a slave-like relationship.]] |
| 30 | * DistractedByTheSexy: Constantly during the Rose-Colored Prison arc. |
| 31 | * EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Kuroko can be more than a little creepy-looking most of the time, bordering on [[LooksLikeCesare looking like Cesare]]. |
| 32 | * EnfantTerrible: She commited her first murders when she was a little girl. |
| 33 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: While she will manipulate them, she will never straight up force a woman to have sex with her, and will respect their decision to say no. |
| 34 | * FauxAffablyEvil: To call her a 'good' person would be '''quite''' a stretch, and she often acts nice while brutally murdering someone. |
| 35 | * TheGadfly: She loves teasing Kimihara and Mitsurugi. |
| 36 | * GeniusBruiser: We first know her as a serial killer with ''hundreds'' of kills under her belt. Later on, we get to see she has immense deductive skills and has been shown to manipulate her enemies to fight among themselves. |
| 37 | * HeroicComedicSociopath: She is [[NominalHero technically on the side of good]], but she's incredibly AxCrazy and doesn't care about the collateral damage that her antics rack up. That being said, those antics tend to be PlayedForLaughs more often than not. |
| 38 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: High-tech dildos of all things, used to destroy laser guns at the Murder Party mansion. |
| 39 | * LadyInAPowerSuit: When Kuroko is working with the police, she's almost always in a sharply-tailored suit, while her jeans-and-crop-top outfit is strictly casual. |
| 40 | * LeanAndMean: She's tall with thin limbs, and utterly merciless in combat. Except for her large boobs. |
| 41 | * LovableSexManiac: The first thing she does when meeting a woman is checking her boobs. |
| 42 | * NervesOfSteel: To ridiculous extremes. During a life-or-death battle with a skilled knife wielder her heart rate didn't even increase. |
| 43 | * NominalHero: Kuroko may work with the police and take down horrible killers, and act as a mother figure/big sis combo to Hinako, but make no mistake about it, she's just as much of a psychotic murderer as she's always been, she just has it more under control. |
| 44 | * NotSoStoic: Kuroko occasionally has moments when her unflappable demeanor comes apart. For instance, during the "school bombing" arc, she had a hilarious OhCrap moment when [[spoiler:Hinako threw one of the armed bombs towards her]]. Also, she once refused to go into a sewer for a mission because of how it smelled. |
| 45 | * OhCrap: She issues a challenge to MasterSwordsman of the titular arc into a very, ''very'' [[CombatPragmatist rigged duel.]] But after her opponent [[ParryingBullets deflects]], [[AttackReflector redirects]], and [[FlashStep dodges]] all of Kuroko's foul plays, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Kuroko turns tail and runs.]] |
| 46 | -->'''Kuroko:''' I CAN'T DO THIS!! |
| 47 | * OverlyLongTongue: Kuroko's tongue is inhumanly long and flexible...[[PowerPerversionPotential which her girlfriends seem to enjoy]]. The snake-like imagery goes even further after Kuroko doesn't dodge a sword enough and gets the tip of her tongue split. |
| 48 | * TheProfiler: Kuroko's past as a SerialKiller grants her deep insight on the motives and ''modus operandi'' of the various killers and criminals in the story. |
| 49 | * PromotionToParent: She effectively became Hinako's foster mother after killing her parents. While she's far from a model parent, her and Hinako are in the same wavelength of crazy. |
| 50 | * PsychoLesbian: Even besides being a murderer, her sexual hyper-aggression borders on predatory. The first extra chapter shows she gets hits on dating sites by pretending to be a man. She mostly gets away with it because [[SexGoddess every woman she beds goes away satisfied]]. Contrary to the stereotype, [[ReallyGetsAround Kuroko does not obsess over any particular women]]. |
| 51 | * RavenHairIvorySkin: Kuroko, combined with being [[TallDarkAndHandsome very tall]] and [[StatuesqueStunner curvy]]. |
| 52 | * ReallyGetsAround: Kuroko has a laundry-list of sex-friends to call on as is, and is always looking to add more. |
| 53 | * ScarsAreForever: She retains the TongueTrauma she received all the way back in the "Murder Party" arc, and has a scar on her belly whose origin as of ch. 62 has yet to be revealed in the manga itself. [[https://twitter.com/yoshimurakana/status/1682549736602234880 According to]] WordOfGod, [[https://twitter.com/yoshimurakana/status/1682549736602234880 the scar on her belly is from a "hot-tempered woman", and the scar on her shoulder is from "playing with" a "sadistic woman".]] |
| 54 | * SerialKiller: She killed over ''seven hundred'' people before she was caught. |
| 55 | * SerialKillerKiller: Kuroko would be on death row, but she's allowed to act on the police's orders to kill other psychopaths. |
| 56 | * SexGoddess: Her growing list of sexual partners always seem to be very open to having more than one go with her for this reason. |
| 57 | * SlasherSmile: Kuroko frequently has a large, unsettling grin when she's feeling her most murderous. |
| 58 | * TheSociopath: She feels no remorse for her past murders, and only took the assassin job to avoid death row and quench her bloodlust. |
| 59 | * SpiderSense: Kuroko can anticipate death traps and attacks with seemingly perfect accuracy. She even goes so far to claim it's precognition. |
| 60 | * UnlimitedWardrobe: She usually dons a new outfit for every arc. |
| 61 | * VictoriasSecretCompartment: Over the course of a single car chase we see her extract from her cleavage a wrestling bell, a mallet to strike it with, a "business" card (which she leaves in the cleavage of a bystander) and a fresh cut flower. She continues to do this in later chapters. |
| 62 | * WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises: Rather than showing fear or anger, this is just how Kuroko's eyes are, which sharply contrasts all the other characters and highlights her psychopathic nature. |
| 63 | * WouldHitAGirl: While Kuroko would probably prefer to bed pretty ladies, she's not averse to brutalizing or even killing them. Her fight against Yukari and her treatment of [[spoiler:Minako's bullies]] in the "School Destruction" arc are good examples of this. |
| 64 | * YuriFan: She keeps several yuri magazines at her home, and a large collection of lesbian porn. |

| 67 | [[folder:Hinako Tozakura]] |
| 68 | |
| 69 | !!Hinako Tozakura |
| 70 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_hinako_1.png]] |
| 71 | |
| 72 | A middle school student who lives with Kuroko and frequently partners up with her on jobs. She has a very bubbly and air-headed personality and often acts like a child half her age or less, though she is also a very capable driver and is adept at handling a variety of vehicles. She also appears to have serious psychological issues at times, including what appears to be a hidden dark side that emerges when she's hurt. |
| 73 | |
| 74 | ---- |
| 75 | * AbusiveParents: She describes her parents as bad people, so she didn't care when Kuroko killed them. |
| 76 | * BigEater: Most of her motivation in her day to day activities come from eating, whether it's going to a location with a primary goal of trying the food there, or Kuroko bribing her with food to do a specific task. |
| 77 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Oh god, if you hurt Hinako you've got about thirty seconds to run away (not that that will help) or finish the job. If you don't, her other side will appear and you will die...horribly, with whatever vehicle she--no--''it'' finds. |
| 78 | * BlackEyesOfCrazy: After Hinako is attacked by [[spoiler:Rinko]], her eyes become like this. They stay like that until Hinako manages to ram her assailant with a motorbike, after which she switches back to normal. All in all, there is something seriously wrong with this girl. |
| 79 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Often unaware of all the violence going on around her and lost in her fantasy land. |
| 80 | %%* DarkAndTroubledPast: |
| 81 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: Hinako can somehow go ''RoofHopping'' in her convertible. |
| 82 | * ExpressiveMask: In her "Hinanin" form, her bun covers have expressive faces of their own. Her backpack for visint the aquarium also has a face that matches her expression. |
| 83 | * HairAntennae: Hinako has a large upright curl that somehow seems to help her home in on Kuroko's location when they're separated, based on the first chapter. |
| 84 | * HealingFactor: It's noted several times in the series that she seems to heal much faster than usual. This goes all the way up to [[spoiler: shrugging off a lethal dose of amphetamines like it was nothing]]. |
| 85 | * HiddenDepths: Despite how she [[{{Womanchild}} looks and acts]], Hinako is very well-versed in marine biology. |
| 86 | * KickTheDog: Overly cheerful, yet she enjoys beating the hell out of the mascot Shogo-tans at the local amusement park, which are either real creatures or just people in costumes. Either way she keeps at it even after getting admonished for it. |
| 87 | * KiddieKid: Hinako is a middle school student, but acts more like a preschooler. Even when people are dying around her she seems to remain blissfully ignorant to everything. |
| 88 | * ParentalSubstitute: Their relationship is kinda complicated but she regards Kuroko as a [[ActionMom mother]]/[[ActionDad father]]/[[CoolBigSis sister]]/[[BigBrotherMentor brother]] figure in place of her [[spoiler:deceased but [[AbusiveParents implied abusive]]]] parents. |
| 89 | * PhotographicMemory: By going to a tall point, she's able to memorize the layout of the surrounding area, basically giving her a built-in GPS. |
| 90 | * PluckyGirl: Hinako is pretty much unstoppable when she puts her mind to it. |
| 91 | * RollerbladeGood: Her tricked-out roller skates are her next go-to besides the convertible that not only works on land but also [[WalkOnWater water]] and ''[[HoverSkates air]]''. |
| 92 | * {{Seers}}: Appears to have some precognition, as she draws events of the Murder Party despite not being there. |
| 93 | * SplitPersonality: Seems to have one that activates when she is hurt. |
| 94 | * UniversalDriversLicense: No matter the mode of transportation, Hinako can and will be able to drive it expertly and [[DrivesLikeCrazy destruct]][[CarFu ively]]. |

| 102 | |
| 103 | A key character from the "D-K Domestic Killer" Arc, Rinko is the daughter of the former SerialKiller Takeru Asagi. While she seems like an ordinary quiet girl, there is quite a bit more to her than meets the eye. |
| 104 | |
| 105 | ---- |
| 106 | * TheAtoner: [[spoiler: She's deeply remorseful of her past as a serial killer, specially after befriending Noel.]] |
| 107 | * DrivenToSuicide: After the events of the "D-K Domestic Killer" Arc, [[spoiler:Rinko tries to kill herself since her entire family is dead and she sees herself as an irredeemable murderer. Kuroko talks her out of it and takes her in as "family." She later tries it again during "Punishing Love" after discovering Noel is the daughter of one her victims, and she's saved by an oblivious Hinako.]] |
| 108 | * EnfanteTerrible: [[spoiler:She's the true culprit behind the recent Skin Collector murders and a very dangerous fighter despite her tiny size. However, for Noel's sake, she's trying really hard to [[TheAtoner stop being this]].]] |
| 109 | * ItWasAGift: Apparently Asagi left behind a gift for Rinko before Kuroko took him down. [[spoiler:It was one of his [[{{Vibroweapon}} high-frequency blades]], giving Rinko the edge she needs to cut down the RazorFloss wielded by her opponent.]] |

| 111 | * KillerRabbit: [[spoiler:Not only is she a dangerous killer, she wears a rabbit mask when she goes to kill someone.]] |

| 115 | * WalkingSpoiler: Rinko is a ''very'' important character in the "D-K Domestic Killer" Arc, and many of that arc's revelations are tied to her. |

| 121 | |
| 122 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_chiyo_60.png]] |
| 123 | |
| 124 | Daughter of the city's Yakuza boss, the closest thing to a lover as Kuroko has, and one of the only people to have any sort of leash on her. When she shows up she's usually either angry that Kuroko hasn't contacted her or locked in the throes of passion with her. |
| 125 | |
| 126 | ---- |
| 127 | * ClingyJealousGirl: She doesn't appreciate it one bit when Kuroko makes passes at other girls around her, though that doesn't stop Kuroko from inevitably having sex with most of them. |
| 128 | * IfItsYouItsOkay: She claims this is the case about her relationship with Kuroko, but Narumi sees through her, especially after she asks her if she would like Kuroko as a man, and Chiyo replies that she wouldn't have boobs then. |
| 129 | * FieryRedhead: Chiyo has bright red hair and is very used to getting what she wants. She's able to get her Yakuza father to relent to her demands, frequently will yell at Kuroko for annoying her, and is willing to fight if someone annoys her. |
| 130 | * MafiaPrincess: Chiyo is the daughter of one of the city's major Yakuza bosses, who Kuroko sometimes taps for intel. |
| 131 | * MsFanservice: Being Kuroko's girlfriend, she tends to get a fair amount of sex scenes, with many of them showing her nude and climaxing. Even outside of that she tends to get into very provocative situations like being stripped naked in the Virginal Rose arc. |
| 132 | * OjouRinglets: Has an impressive display of these in her hair. |
| 133 | * ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: When being clingy doesn't cut it, Chiyo will get ''violent'' for and to Kuroko. |

| 144 | ---- |
| 145 | * BerserkButton: Don't mistake her for a man. |
| 146 | * {{Bifauxnen}}: She looks pretty boyish and handsome. Kuroko even remarks that her, ahem, silhouette is [[ACupAngst rather flat]]. |
| 147 | * BreakoutCharacter: Rather than being pushed into the spotlight here she's given her own series, [[SpinOff Murciélago Araña]]. |
| 148 | * ButchLesbian: Of the {{Bifauxnen}} variety. |
| 149 | * ColdSniper: Generally very cold and emotionless. She rarely even changes expression. |
| 150 | * ExoticEyeDesigns: Her eyes resemble practice targets, comprised of four concentric rings. |
| 151 | * ImprobableAimingSkills: She's demonstrated several times to be a first-rate sniper, being able to shoot far away targets without even looking or taking the time to assume a proper sniping posture. More recently, [[spoiler:she's able to shoot out ''the scope'' of another sniper hidden far away on a building as soon as she senses a bullet approaching her employer. And it's only the start of the battle.]] |
| 152 | * KillSteal: She takes out an utterly broken Hazuki from a distance, just as Kuroko takes out her gun. Kuroko isn't happy about it. |
| 153 | * LimitedWardrobe: Kuroko remarks that she hasn't changed outfits ever since the Murder Party. She retorts that as long as she's not naked, she doesn't care for clothes. |
| 154 | * PistolWhipping: Yes. With a Sniper Rifle...well, less "whipping" and more [[spoiler: using the rifle as a club to smash her enemy's head in until its concave because he [[BerserkButton mistook her for a man.]]]] |
| 155 | * ProfessionalKiller: Makes her living as a hired sniper, even accepting jobs from the police to take out criminals. |
| 156 | * TheStoic: She shows almost no emotion and her expression almost never varies from a listless, bored-looking grump-face. |
| 157 | * WhenSheSmiles: It's pretty rare, but she did crack a big smile at the end of the D.K. arc. |

| 167 | * GenkiGirl: In contrast to the more mild-mannered Ukina, but not nearly as much as the perpetual motion machine that is Hinako. |

| 891 | |
| 892 | [[quoteright:245:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hikaru_4.jpg]] |
| 893 | |
| 894 | The main antagonist of the "Master Swordsman" Arc, Kurono Miyamoto is the oldest daughter of the Miyamoto family and a kendo prodigy. She was reported missing a few years ago, but has seemingly reappeared and is killing other kendo practitioners. She is actually Hikaru Miyamoto, who developed a split personality based on her sister after her death. |
| 895 | |
| 896 | ---- |
| 897 | * TheAce: Kurono was an absolute prodigy when it came to the sword, something that her younger sister Hikaru both admired and felt discouraged by. When the Kurono split personality takes over Hikaru, she proves her skills are still top-notch by killing other highly skilled swordsmen and taking on both Kuroko and Rinko simultaneously with little difficulty. |
| 898 | * AdvancingBossOfDoom: Even after making the fight as unfair as possible, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Kuroko is scared shitless of her]], and her tactic is to ''run'' and stall as much time as possible until Kurono's host body reaches its limit. Considering she takes on Kuroko ''and'' Rinko with ease, that's pretty much the only way they can win against her. |
| 899 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Kurono's younger sister Hikaru was the world to her, and she was determined to help Hikaru master the sword. Unfortunately, said protective instinct became murderous, and even in death she's more than willing to strike out at those she feels hurt her sister. |
| 900 | * BloodKnight: The prospect of a duel against another swordsman is enough to rile Kurono up, and she's hellbent on finishing any fight she's involved in. |
| 901 | * CharlesAtlasSuperpower: She stands above the rest in a world where this trope is in full play, thanks to her YearInsideHourOutside existence. Kuroko has to [[VictoryByEndurance defeat her through endurance]] because nothing else works. |
| 902 | * DualWielding: Kurono is proficient enough with the sword that she can wield two katanas simultaneously with ease. |
| 903 | * HandicappedBadass: As powerful as she is, Kurono is hampered by the fact that she's using Hikaru's weaker body. As a result, she needs to watch how long and hard she fights to avoid breaking her beloved sister. |
| 904 | * HeelFaceTurn: After being assured that Hikaru is in good company, she passes peacefully, but she's not truly gone. When Hazuki's rampage threatens Hikaru, she returns to protect her sister by scaring and breaking Hazuki (though Reiko deals the finishing blow). |
| 905 | * HorrifyingTheHorror: Kurono's swordsmanship is so impeccable, Kuroko knows that to fight her head-on is tantamount to suicide, even for her. And in a later arc, a perverted killer is terrified shitless to the point his hair turns white from terror. |
| 906 | * KillingIntent: When facing Sendou, the Kurono personality emits a killing intent that is so potent that Sendou feels like he's being eviscerated even though Kurono is only wielding a wooden sword. |
| 907 | * MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's not entirely confirmed if she's a true split personality, or Kurono's ghost posessing Hikaru as she believes herself. |
| 908 | * MasterSwordsman: Kurono is an absolute beast of a swordswoman and one of the greatest physical threats Kuroko ever faced. Even with the help of explosives and snipers, Kuroko is often forced to go on the defensive against Kurono's terrifying swordswomanship. She's notably the first villain who managed to land a direct hit on Kuroko, defeating her reflexes. |
| 909 | * MeaningfulName: Her supreme skill with swords and preference for wielding one in each hand, combined with her surname, are clearly a reference towards UsefulNotes/MiyamotoMusashi. |
| 910 | * SplitPersonality: The Kurono responsible for the killings is actually a split personality of Hikaru, born from Hikaru's guilt over accidentally killing her. She'll occasionally take over her sister's body in order to kill. |
| 911 | * YearInsideHourOutside: Her life inside Hikaru's mind apparently amounted to centuries or a millenium, allowing her to train her swordsmanship to an unprecedented level. |

| 917 | |
| 918 | [[quoteright:192:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hazuki_sendou.jpg]] |
| 919 | |
| 920 | The main antagonist of the "Magic-Bullet Archer" arc, Hazuki Sendou is a young man whose skills with the rapier have been likened to a demon. When a body completely riddled with holes is discovered, he becomes the prime suspect. |
| 921 | |
| 922 | ---- |
| 923 | * AmbiguouslyGay: He bears a sexual interest in fighting Zenpachi, however, it's known that he had a girlfriend at one point. The boss of the Raijou gang mentions he never sowed any interest in men or women before meeting Zenpachi. |
| 924 | * TheBerserker: The leader of the Raijou gang noticed that after Sendou lost against Zenpachi, his fighting style became much more brutal, even describing him changing from a "chivalrous knight" to a "wild beast." |
| 925 | * BerserkButton: He hates being called a liar, and he killed his girlfriend when he was a teen over it. |
| 926 | * BloodKnight: Sendou loves fighting so much that he's often seen sporting an erection when he goes in for the kill. |
| 927 | * TheDreaded: Due to his frightening skills with the rapier and the brutality he inflicted on his opponents, Sendou's presence in the Raijou gang was enough to make other gangs hesitant to challenge the Raijou. Even the leader of the Raijou gang was terrified of him. |
| 928 | * InterplayOfSexAndViolence: Simply imagining fighting against Zenpachi causes him to pop a RagingStiffie, and when he actually gets to do it, he is shown to have jizzed in his pants. |
| 929 | * LockedIntoStrangeness: When he faces off against Hikaru, [[spoiler:the Kurono personality's killing intent scares him so much that his hair changes from black to white and he's reduced to a screaming wreck]]. |
| 930 | * MasterSwordsman: Even at a young age, Sendou is practically unmatched when it came to fencing. His pinpoint accuracy and brutal fighting style made him feared in the underworld. While his talents are not as great as Kurono Miyamoto's, he is still a force to be reckoned with. |
| 931 | * TrashOfTheTitans: His home is a dumpster full of trash and cockroaches. Funnily enough, Kasagi comments it's not nearly as messy as his college room. |
| 932 | * WouldHitAGirl: Sendou is more than willing to kill women. His first appearance has him attacking Chiyo completely unprovoked, and he later tried to kill Hikaru after mistaking her for her older sister Kurono. |
| 933 | * UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler:He winds up being repeatedly scared by Kurono so much that it's a miracle that he didn't relieve himself out of fear, and it should be noted that Kurono didn't even really attack him. She just terrorized him over and over again with her KillingIntent, and he was actually finished off by Reiko, and he's practically forgotten afterwards as if were a cheap piece of trash, with the closest thing he gets to acknowledgement is Kuroko complaining that Reiko stole her kill from her. To make things even more humiliating for him, he also had a chestnut thrown at him by Hinako.]] |

| 941 | |
| 942 | The main antagonist of the "Punishing Love" arc, Yuusuke Arima is a murderer who targets families with daughters. He recently kidnapped Noel, a transfer student at Rinko's elementary school, with the intention of having her become someone named "Tsumugi." |
| 943 | |
| 944 | ---- |
| 945 | * ForcedToWatch: Arima inflicts this on the father of the last family he killed. He forced the father to watch as he tortured the daughter to death, and then finished off the father by strangling him. |
| 946 | * HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: His ultimate fate is [[spoiler:being bifurcated vertically by Rinko]]. |
| 947 | * LawOfInverseFertility: After his daughter's death, he and his wife tried to have a new child, but he had become sterile. |
| 948 | * {{Mundanger}}: Unlike every other arc antagonist, who have been gimmicky serial killers, freaks-of-nature, evil super-geniuses, ordinary thugs altered through some secret surgical procedure into a human weapon, or are just obscenely skilled in some form of combat, Yuusuke is simply just a man whose been driven criminally insane with grief and is now kidnapping the youngest daughters of families with the intent of having them replace his own late daughter Tsumugi. |
| 949 | * ReplacementGoldfish: He intends for Noel to become a replacement for his daughter, Tsumugi. [[spoiler:She is not the first girl he tried this on, as the police realize upon stumbling on a little girl's corpse]]. |
| 950 | * TragicDream: What he wants most is to [[spoiler:take his whole family to see Mount Fuji, as it was his daughter's dream. Unfortunately, said daughter was abducted and killed by the Rainy Day Killer. Even in his current state, Arima still wants to try to fulfill the dream somehow, and ends up taking the kidnapped Noel to R'Lyeh Tower to sightsee]]. |
| 951 | * TragicVillain: As abhorent as he is, Arima is ultimately [[spoiler:a man who could not move on from the death of his daughter. His last moments are spent remembering the promise he couldn't keep with her and lamenting her loss]]. |
| 952 | * WouldHurtAChild: At the beginning of the arc, the police discover the crime scene of his most recent murders. They note that the young daughter of the family was tortured before she died, probably as a way to torment the father. |

| 968 | * HiddenAgendaVillain: What she's after is not clear other than it directly involves Kuroko. |
| 969 | * NeverFoundTheBody: Her body was never found at the site of her parents' murder. The police still assumed she was dead because they found three people's worth of blood at the scene of the crime, and they didn't think a blind and armless ten-year-old girl could've survived such an attack. |
| 970 | * {{Polyamory}}: She's evidently in a relationship with Sayaka and Yukari at the same time, and sleeps with both of them. |
| 971 | * SoleSurvivor: Hakua is the only survivor of the incident that resulted in the murder of her parents. |
| 972 | * TheManBehindTheMan: She's been secretely behind the actions of every othe villain in the story. |
