| 5 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 6 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cautious_hero.png]] |
| 7 | * AmnesiacLover: [[spoiler:Near the end of the Gaeabrande arc, it's revealed that Seiya and Ristarte were married and expecting a child in their previous lives at Ixphoria. Neither of them has memories of their former relationship.]] |
| 8 | * DivineDate: Rista is a goddess who has the major hots for Seiya, the human she summoned as a hero. |
| 9 | * OppositesAttract: Rista, who is overly emotional, expressive and excitable, is completely in love with Seiya, who is TheStoic and no-nonsense to a fault. While Seiya initially dismisses Rista's advances, realizing that [[spoiler:she's the reincarnation of his wife]] makes him quite fond of her. |
| 10 | * ReincarnationRomance: [[spoiler:Rista is actually the reincarnation of Princess Tiana, Seiya's wife from Ixphoria who he failed to save from the Demon Lord. In their current lives, fate allowed to meet again by Rista summoning Seiya to save Gaeabrande. Despite neither of them remembering their past lives, Rista is completely in love with Seiya even though she isn't supposed to because she's a goddess now and he rebuffs her advances.]] |
| 11 | * RudeHeroNiceSidekick: Rista is a kindhearted and compassionate goddess. Seiya, the hero Rista summoned to defeat the Demon Lord, rarely can talk to people without insulting them. So she has to apologize for him and make nice with whomever they're talking to. |
| 12 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Rista is enthusiastic, loud, and impatient. Seiya is {{stoic}}, cool-headed, and wary. |
| 13 | * StarCrossedLovers: [[spoiler:Seiya and Rista/Tiana were a married couple before they were brutally killed by Ixphoria's Demon Lord. They have met again now that Rista was reincarnated as a goddess and Seiya was resummoned by her, but romantic and sexual relationships between humans and gods are strictly forbidden.]] |

| 16 | [[folder:Seiya Ryuuguuin]] |
| 17 | !!Seiya Ryuuguuin |
| 18 | !!! '''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuichiroUmehara (Japanese), Creator/AnthonyBowling (English) |
| 19 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cautious_hero_seiya.png]] |
| 20 | |
| 21 | The titular cautious hero, who takes excessive precautions in his quest despite his high stat growth. |
| 22 | ---- |
| 23 | * ActionDad: Along with an incredibly skilled and powerful hero, [[spoiler:Seiya is the father to Kiriko, the child he conceived with Princess Tiana in Ixphoria and whose soul is now trapped inside a robotic body.]] |
| 24 | * AintTooProudToBeg: In his past, he begged [[spoiler:the Demon Lord of Ixphoria not to kill Tiana and their unborn baby]]. His pleads went unheard. |
| 25 | * AlwaysSaveTheGirl: |
| 26 | ** When given the choice, he'll prioritize saving his friends over the world. [[spoiler:He passes up on Igzasion in favor of saving Elulu from her sacrifice, despite how doing so means he loses the only weapon that can kill the Demon Lord.]] |
| 27 | ** Subverted in Ixphoria, but not for a lack of trying. [[spoiler:Kiriko's soul is tied to Ultimaeus's life, which means she'll die when Ultimaeus dies. Seiya spends days researching souls and even considers a plan to freeze Ultimaeus solid, but eventually realizes he cannot save Kiriko. The best he can do is verbally comfort Kiriko as he finishes off the Demon Lord.]] |
| 28 | * AmnesiacsAreInnocent: [[spoiler:When he's inflicted with a strong case of amnesia that reverts him back to his reckless personality, he's a lot nicer to people around him, including the Ixphorians who blame him for failing his previous quest and their world's current HellOnEarth state.]] |
| 29 | * AttackReflector: Counter Break is a destruction technique that reflects the damage back at the attacker. In this case, when [[AnArmAndALeg Seiya lost his arm, this ability allowed him to also cut off Wohlks' arm without the latter realizing it]]. |
| 30 | * AutomaticCrossbows: Technically, it's a magic bow, but Seiya fires his magic bow at Beel Bub's flies so quickly that it's essentially this. Since his arrows are flying much faster than the ones used by Rosalie's archers, the normally fast flies have no time to react before dropping dead out of the sky as Seiya shoots them all down. |
| 31 | * AwesomeButImpractical: His Meteor Strike spell is capable of destroying entire armies just one cast, but its capacity for incredible destruction means it can't be used anywhere else other than an open plain far away from civilization. Seiya never uses it again after wiping out Deathmagla's undead army for this reason. |
| 32 | * BadassCape: He used to wear a red cape [[spoiler:in his previous life]] on Ixphoria. |
| 33 | * BaritoneOfStrength: Has a deep, strong voice to go with his power and serious demeanor courtesy of Creator/YuichiroUmehara. |
| 34 | * BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: Seiya is pathologically cautious, obsessed with arduous training, and prepares countermeasures for every possible threat. [[spoiler:His past self was the polar opposite; impulsive, reckless, hated training, and only cared to defeat evil monsters as quickly as he could without taking the time to prepare himself. His personality drastically changed after his recklessness got his entire party EatenAlive by the Demon Lord.]] |
| 35 | * BeginWithAFinisher: What Seiya does to the slime they encounter early on, blowing it away with a NoKillLikeOverkill massive attack. |
| 36 | * BerserkButton: An irritated Seiya repeatedly slaps Rosalie for being reckless and getting her men killed by charging ahead without a plan [[spoiler:since it subconsciously reminds him of himself when he failed to save the previous world he was summoned to by acting in the same manner]]. |
| 37 | * BigNo: Screams this when [[spoiler:the Demon Lord of Ixphoria is about to eat Tiana and their unborn baby]]. |
| 38 | * BishieSparkle: From Rista's point of view, he is sometimes shown with this, signifying her crush on him. |
| 39 | * TheBlacksmith: In his efforts to be as prepared for any eventuality as he can, he uses his Combine skill to create weapons, armor, and magical accessories using whatever he can get his hands on, especially if the materials are high quality (the hair of Rista, a goddess, being a commonly used one). Often veers into UltimateBlacksmith, as he has a keen eye for taking said high quality materials and making the best equipment that could ever be made out of what he has on hand at the time. |
| 40 | * BloodKnight: Played with. Seiya generally avoids unwinnable or disadvantageous fights, but his obsession with being prepared means combat is almost always on his mind, thus he trains like a maniac. [[spoiler:This allows him to resist the corrupting effects of the Berserk technique.]] |
| 41 | * BoringButPractical: |
| 42 | ** His first method of LevelGrinding and preparing himself to fight Chaos Machina again is to simply exercise in his room. Sure enough, even Rista is surprised when he did gain some levels and skills just by doing this mundane task instead of the typical way of gaining EXP in an RPGMechanicsVerse, which is killing monsters. |
| 43 | ** His Platinum Swords aren't anywhere close to matching legendary weapons like Igzasion, but they can be mass-produced as long as Rista has hair and can be synthesized with other objects to give them special properties whenever he needs them. |
| 44 | * BorrowedCatchphrase: In the Ixphoria arc, he sometimes says, "I have seen all that you have to offer," which is Emperor Wohlks' catchphrase. |
| 45 | * BoxingLessonsForSuperman: He insists on learning as many techniques from the gods as he can, becoming skilled at swordsmanship, archery, and destruction techniques in the process. [[spoiler:This is because he's worried that he'll still be weaker than the stronger demons at his level cap, meaning he needs to learn additional skills to compensate.]] |
| 46 | * BrokenAce: His baseline stats were far higher than the other potential heroes, he's an InstantExpert that learns the skills from some of the most powerful gods in the the Divine Realm in days, he always comes out on top due to his CrazyPrepared nature and has multiple goddess falling for him. [[spoiler:Even in Ixphoria, he was stated by Aria to always win despite being underleveled and never having a plan due to his natural talent as a fighter.]] However, people call Seiya "ill" for his exaggeratedly paranoid behavior and obsession with training so hard that his ''trainer'' ends up terrified of him. [[spoiler:His personality ended up this way after his past recklessness and overconfidence got his entire party killed.]] |
| 47 | * BrutalHonesty: The man never minces his words regardless of how insulting they could be, even when addressing gods and royalty. Someone's offended? Tough break. |
| 48 | * BuffySpeak: Seiya calls the Transform Automatic Garuda skill as "turn into birds and come back, boom". |
| 49 | * CastFromLifespan: Valhalla's Gate is cast in exchange of one's [[spoiler:own life. The user could survive if they have maxed stats though. Valhalla's Gate Another takes his life as payment and not even a fully powered healing goddess can stop that]]. |
| 50 | * CatchPhrase: When he feels ready to take on the next part of his quest, he'll say "perfectly prepared." [[spoiler:His catchphrase used to be "gonna be okay" until Ixphoria's Demon Lord made the situation ''not okay''.]] |
| 51 | * CelibateHero: Despite attracting the attention of several beautiful goddesses, Seiya only wants to focus on training. He nonchalantly dismisses Rista's advances, outright rejects Adenela's romantic gestures, and shoots an arrow at a naked Mitis when she tries to seduce him. This is actually a good thing because if Seiya were to give in to the advances of a goddess, he would automatically lose his qualifications as a hero. [[spoiler:This was averted in Ixphoria, where he was in a relationship with Tiana.]] |
| 52 | * ChickMagnet: Rista even puts a lampshade on this as she calls Seiya a "Goddess-Killer" after realizing that Adenela fell in love with him without Seiya even realizing it. |
| 53 | * CombatPragmatist: Seiya never fights fair if he can help it which is all in line with his cautious attitude as he completely annihilates threats so they don't come back. His entire plan for a dimension-crossing opponent he couldn't defeat was to manipulate the gods into doing it for him. |
| 54 | * CombatSadomasochist: [[spoiler:Way back in the past]], even if there's a hole in his chest and when he had only 2 HP left, he was still thrilled and happy to charge towards the enemy. |
| 55 | * ComicallyInvincibleHero: A good part of the series' comedy is centered around Seiya's absurdly powerful abilities that allow him to obliterate entire armies by throwing meteors at them or destroy towns he was supposed to save while he uses over-the-top destructive attacks to overkill monsters. [[spoiler:[[BrokenAce Turns out he is a]] {{Deconstruction}} because he deliberately makes himself ridiculously overpowered to compensate for risk. The result only looks like comical overkill.]] |
| 56 | * TheComicallySerious: Most of the humor in the series is derived from Seiya's completely blank, serious personality being at odds to the ridiculousness around him (especially Rista's reactions). |
| 57 | * CrazyPrepared: |
| 58 | ** He's a strong believer in being overleveled against all foes and tends to stock more armor and items than he needs. |
| 59 | ** After knowing that there are beings like Rista who can [[EnemyScan scan a hero's status parameters]], he decides to use the Fake Out skill in order to fake his parameters in case the enemies also have a scanning ability like Rista. He's proven right when [[spoiler:Chaos Machina does read his stats mid-fight.]] |
| 60 | * CruelToBeKind: He intentionally pushes his allies away and refuses their help, since he doesn't want to risk them dying in battle. [[spoiler:Aria later reveals to Rista that she summoned Seiya save Ixphoria 100 years back. Unfortunately, he was reckless and charged into battle, hoping things worked out. It did until they defeated the Demon Lord, who turned out to have a second life. He then killed the exhausted party by eating them, including Tiana, Seiya's healer and lover who was pregnant at the time she was eaten. Though neither he, nor Rista, who is the reincarnation of Tiana, remember anything from Ixphoria, his extreme guilt at not planning ahead and preparing for contingencies carried over and triggered his "overly cautious" status.]] |
| 61 | * DangerousForbiddenTechnique: [[spoiler:In the final battle in Gaeabrande, Seiya reveals that he has an even stronger version of Valhalla's Gate called Valhalla's Gate Another that creates a larger gate capable of withstanding Gaeabrande's Demon Lord's final attack, which was said by Rista to have twice the power needed to end the world. However, the cost is Seiya's life, which causes Seiya's body to break apart at such a rate that even Rista's full healing powers can't stop.]] |
| 62 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:He had a wife, who was pregnant, in the previous world he was summoned, Ixphoria. He was very headstrong and basically bulldozed his way to the Demon Lord. He killed the Demon Lord without realizing that he had another life; cue the Demon Lord annihilating his entire party, which consisted of his friends and his wife. After Colt and Aria were eaten, Seiya literally ''[[AintTooProudToBeg begged]]'' the Demon Lord not to kill Tiana. However, the Demon Lord ignored him completely and proceeded to ''tear the baby from his wife's womb and eat it, along with his wife afterward''. Seiya was sent back to Japan, forgetting everything that happened. However, the cautious personality was engraved into his soul. [[ReincarnationRomance The goddess who summoned him this time, Rista, is his wife's reincarnation.]] And to add further insult to injury, his unborn daughter’s soul ends up being used to power a robot, and she couldn’t be saved due to being connected to the Demon King.]] |
| 63 | * DeathOfAThousandCuts: The Gunshot Sword skill that he learned from Adenela is a rapid-fire series of stabs and slashes that evoke the speed of firearms. |
| 64 | * DestructiveSavior: His tactic of burning the enemies' remains tends to result in property damage due to the scale of his fire spells. |
| 65 | * {{Deuteragonist}}: He's the title character, the second most important character in the story, and Rista's LoveInterest. |
| 66 | * DisappearsIntoLight: [[spoiler:He vanishes into blue light just as his body can no longer take the punishment for summoning two Valhalla's Gates.]] |
| 67 | * DishingOutDirt: He uses the class change system in Ixphoria to change his main element to earth, allowing him to create snake golems and manipulate the ground to create passageways. |
| 68 | * DisneyDeath: At the end of the Gaeabrande arc, [[spoiler:Seiya sacrifices his life using Valhalla's Gate twice to defeat the Demon Lord. Because of the Chain Destruction barrier in the castle killing both the body and soul, everyone thinks Seiya is dead for real. That's until Ishtar tells Rista that the effect of Chain Destruction was cancelled with the death of the Demon Lord, so Seiya is alive and she can resummon him.]] |
| 69 | * DissonantSerenity: He can be calm during situations where an ordinary person would panic, or his demeanor wouldn't fit in the gravity of the situation. Rista also puts some LampshadeHanging on these scenes to put an emphasis on his unexpected reactions: |
| 70 | ** He quickly counters and slaps Rosalie's face while keeping his usual calm and stoic face. Rista then decries his [[StrawFeminist "lack of feminism"]]. |
| 71 | ** While [[AffectionateGestureToTheHead patting Adenela's head]] in order to [[spoiler:calm her down, Seiya calls her an "eyesore" and that she should leave. Adenela happily agreed, because she's that just in love with Seiya despite him having said mean things to her]]. |
| 72 | * DoomMagnet: PlayedForLaughs when he's convinced he's become one due to holding onto a good luck charm given to him by Nina in [[FirstTown Edona]], which he thinks is a cursed item that attracts high-level enemies due to Chaos Machina ambushing him soon after. He decides to hold onto it anyway because it's easier for his enemies to come to him. Keep in mind this is all over a charm made by ''a small child''. |
| 73 | * DoubleTap: Seiya burns his enemies' corpses just to ensure that they are dead. |
| 74 | * DualWielding: Uses two Dragon Killer swords when he had to quickly defeat [[spoiler:the Great Mother of Dragons]]. |
| 75 | * EasilyForgiven: Played for laughs when Adenela almost immediately forgives Seiya for his harsh rejection of the cake she baked for him after he simply pats her head. |
| 76 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: As soon as Seiya arrives, he reacts with immediate suspicion towards Rista and her claims, and then outright refuses to step foot in Gaeabrande until he's spent a week working out to level grind in safety. |
| 77 | * FlamingSword: His Phoenix Overdrive skill gives this, which he uses to kill [[spoiler:Chaos Machina]]. |
| 78 | * {{Flight}}: He has the Flight ability and can travel in air faster than Rista, but not as fast as Beel Bub. [[spoiler:He loses Flight in Ixphoria, due to that world having different rules and available abilities.]] |
| 79 | * FlingALightIntoTheFuture: [[spoiler:He did this to himself after failing at Ixphoria by leaving a message on the Properties screen.]] |
| 80 | * {{Foil}}: Seiya's cautiousness is in contrast to Rosalie's recklessness. But when his backstory is revealed, [[spoiler:this gets {{subverted|Trope}} and Elulu even lampshades that Seiya's old personality is like Rosalie's]]. |
| 81 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: |
| 82 | ** When he says "Properties," it's seemingly for no reason other than not trusting Rista. [[spoiler:It's because he left a message for himself on said screen, which warned him to always be prepared, after what happened in [[MyGreatestFailure Ixphoria.]]]] |
| 83 | ** Volume 1's afterword describes two types of players: the more casual player who plays through the story without leveling much and the cautious player who overprepares. Seiya is an obvious parody of the latter type of player, [[spoiler:but Ishtar reveals that he used to be a comically impatient and reckless hero who never grinds, resulting in his death in Ixphoria, making him a dark parody of the former type of player.]] |
| 84 | ** Seiya outright hates Rosalie's recklessness. There is a deep-seated reason for this: [[spoiler:It reminds him of his past, reckless self.]] |
| 85 | ** Just after being defeated, [[spoiler:Wohlks]] wonders if Seiya has faced [[spoiler:death countless times before]], possibly the reason why he's so cautious. [[spoiler:He's right, that happened way back in Ixphoria.]] |
| 86 | * FreudianExcuse: Seiya's tendency to use ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill by repeating blowing up the ashes and corpses of the Demon Lord's minions at first seems comical due to his nature of being overly cautious. [[spoiler:However, this came about because when he was in Ixphoria 100 years prior, his lack of planning and gathering information ahead of time meant he didn't know that the Demon Lord of that world had a second life, which revived him and let him kill off Seiya's exhausted party who barely defeated him the first time around. Consequently, this carried over when his "Overly Cautious" status showed up the next time he was summoned in Gaeabrande.]] |
| 87 | * FriendToAllChildren: He doesn't take kindly to those who harm children. The first two enemy generals find this out the hard way when they taunt Seiya by threatening to harm a child, or actually torturing them in Mash's case. |
| 88 | * GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:After sacrificing his life to defeat Gaeabrande's Demon Lord, Seiya for the first time shows his genuine smile to Rista, having recognized her as Princess Tiana's reincarnation and being happy that he was able to protect her this time.]] |
| 89 | * GodzillaThreshold: Seiya has to learn [[spoiler:Valhalla's Gate from Valkyrie]] due to a number of circumstances; [[spoiler:he has already reached the LevelCap and can no longer improve his stats, and he lost both the InfinityPlusOneSword and InfinityPlusOneArmor that would've made him stand a chance against the Demon Lord of Gaeabrande. At that point, he's already willing to risk his life in order to save that world.]] |
| 90 | * GoodOldFisticuffs: Though he usually uses a sword, or magic if he has time to cast it, he also trained how to fight unarmed, telling Deathmagla that his sword could get stolen, break, or just be ineffective against his current opponent. |
| 91 | * GoodParents: [[spoiler:At first, he treats Kiriko with a lot of suspicion, but starts treating her kindly once he realizes that she's his daughter.]] |
| 92 | * GratuitousEnglish: In the Japanese dub, his catchphrase is "ready perfectly". [[spoiler: In his past life in Ixphoria, his catchphrase was "gonna be okay".]] |
| 93 | * HeroesPreferSwords: Wields a sword as his go-to melee weapon. |
| 94 | * HeroicBSOD: During the battle with Vengeful Empress Celemonic, Seiya collapses from the stress of seeing the corpses of the demons' victims. [[spoiler:A lot of the stress also comes from learning that Kiriko is his daughter and that she'll die once he kills Ultimaeus.]] |
| 95 | * HeroicRROD: Seiya slept for three days straight due to exhaustion from fighting [[spoiler:Wohlks]]. |
| 96 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In order to kill Gaeabrande's Demon Lord, Seiya uses Valhalla's Gate twice, which results in his body disintegrating. Fortunately, the effects of Chain Destruction go away after the Demon Lord's death, allowing Seiya's real soul to survive.]] |
| 97 | * HypocriticalHumor: While under disguise as a beastkin, he chastises Rista for almost blowing their cover, yet he draws suspicion from the beastkin thanks to his habit of buying equipment in bulk. |
| 98 | * IAmNotLeftHanded: His favorite tactic is to appear weaker than his opponent to analyze their fighting style, then reveal his true power and overwhelm them. Their is a skill for this called "Fake Out". |
| 99 | * IHatePastMe: It's heavily implied his rough attitude towards Rosalie is due to her [[spoiler:resembling his past personality]]. When he meets [[spoiler:a temporarily revived instance of his past self in Ixphoria, he can barely stand the latter]]. |
| 100 | * IWasJustPassingThrough: He claims he only saved Elulu [[spoiler:from being sacrificed]] because he needs her to carry his stuff, but doing so means he's taking a huge risk due to lacking [[spoiler:Igzasion]]. The fact that he's willing to compromise on his philosophy for Elulu shows that he cares more than he lets on. |
| 101 | * IWorkAlone: He doesn't want his allies to fight alongside him because he fears that they could die. So he tells them they are useless and goes on ahead. [[spoiler:It's due to being traumatized from seeing his party get killed in his previous summoning.]] This is also the reason why he initially dismissed Mash and Elulu's offers of joining his party. Finally, Ishtar [[LampshadeHanging explains this]] to [[spoiler:Rista, when narrating his backstory]]: |
| 102 | --> '''Ishtar:''' Ryuuguin Seiya knew that the Demon Lord might kill you... That's why he went alone. |
| 103 | * ImproperlyParanoid: He is so paranoid that Rista, Cerceus and others think he is mentally ill. They see no other reason for why he is so overly cautious: |
| 104 | ** This is a man who uses a special attack on a ''slime'' wandering around a starter town, and even after completely obliterating it with the first strike, he then uses a high-powered fire spell on the empty ground where it used to be. By then, the area resembles an impact crater from a meteor, but he isn't satisfied and uses the special sword skill ''again''. How many monsters resurrect again? None in the first volume. |
| 105 | ** He assumes that the pressed flower a friendly little human girl gives him is a "cursed item" immediately upon receiving it. Unless Rista explained what "S-rank world" means to him off-page, he wouldn't know how cunning the demons of this world are, yet he is suspicious before meeting Chaos Machina. It wasn't cursed. |
| 106 | ** He prevents Rista from viewing his stats because he suspects Gaebrande to host monsters that can obtain memories by eating people's brains. It is established that he is not a gamer, and so he shouldn't have knowldedge of monsters such as [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons mind flayers]]. No such memory eating creatures appear. |
| 107 | * IndyPloy: Deconstructed. [[spoiler:During his first summoning in Ixphoria, he rushed to all the enemy bosses without a strategy in mind and preferred to come up with tactics on the fly. This worked until he ran into the Demon Lord and had no way to deal with the latter's self-revival ability.]] |
| 108 | * IneffectualLoner: He prefers to fight by himself in order to prevent casualties on his side, [[spoiler:due to his guilt in failing to save his party in Ixphoria. His solo attempt against Gaeabrande's Demon Lord would have failed if Rista didn't follow him, since he wouldn't be able to cast Valhalla's Gate again without her healing powers.]] |
| 109 | * InstantExpert: He has a knack for learning new skills quickly, as shown by how he learns combat skills from the gods in a matter of days and gets to the point of rivaling some of his teachers. In Ixphoria, he learns how to perform class change on himself after someone does it for him ''once''. He even materializes a fire bow right at the moment when Elulu just spoke the instructions. |
| 110 | * ItemCrafting: Once he learned the Combine skill, he has a habit of forging new weapons and stat-changing accessories. These can also be enhanced with synthesis materials, like the [[MundaneUtility hair strands of his companions]]. |
| 111 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's very insulting towards his allies, is suspicious of every new person he meets, and can come off as callous to others' feelings, but he's firmly dedicated to protecting his friends and saving the world, in that order. [[spoiler:At the end of the first volume, he chooses to save Elulu despite losing the opportunity to gain Igzasion. Near the end of the first arc, it's revealed that he's cautious more for others' sakes than his own, due to his past recklessness getting his party killed and dooming the people of Ixphoria.]] |
| 112 | * JerkassHasAPoint: |
| 113 | ** When Seiya refuses to stop training to go save Edona from Chaos Machina, Rista reprimands him for being a coward. Seiya points out that if he tries to save one town before he's ready and gets himself killed, then that puts the entire world at risk from the loss of their hero. |
| 114 | ** Stemming from his overly cautious personality, Seiya at least tries to make some sense in explaining his decisions. Like choosing to teleport outside of Edona instead of the town center, as it would give him a chance for a sneak attack against Chaos Machina. Otherwise, the demon would just execute her hostage on the spot if she saw the protagonists teleporting nearby. |
| 115 | ** Seiya had every right to call out Rosalie for going into battle against Beel Bub without any strategy, thus getting her soldiers killed in the process. |
| 116 | * JerkassRealization: In Warped Gaeabrande, [[spoiler:he treats the people of the warped world as mere illusions that he can sacrifice to make his quest easier. When he learns that the people of the original people are affected by the trauma experienced by their warped counterparts, he admits his approach was mistaken and wants to apologize to Rosalie in particular after the warped worlds are saved.]] |
| 117 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: He retreats with Rista once he realized that Chaos Machina is stronger than him during their first encounter. This is played with in that his actual stats are higher than Chaos Machina's displayed stats, but he realizes that she could be hiding her true power too. He also tries this when Crossed Thanatos first appears. Unfortunately for them, Crossed Thanatos simply chases them into the Divine Realm, and wreaks havoc for a while as none of the gods are able to stop it until Valkyrie is forced to step in. |
| 118 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler:At the start of the Ixphoria arc, a werewolf attacks Seiya and gives him a status ailment that causes Seiya to lose his memories. Unlike the amnesia that is usually given to heroes whenever they're sent back to Earth, this ailment is much stronger to the point where Seiya forgets the trauma that made him cautious, causing him to regain his reckless personality from his first summoning.]] |
| 119 | * LeeroyJenkins: [[spoiler:During his previous life on Ixphoria, he didn't want to train, he just wanted to push forward. Somehow, he manages to win battles through luck and some talent.]] |
| 120 | * ALessonLearnedTooWell: [[spoiler:The last time he fought a Demon Lord, he found out too late that it had an AutoRevive skill, resulting in the death of his entire party.]] Having learned his lesson the hard way, Seiya uses massively destructive attacks to completely obliterate any remains of every monster he defeats, completely disregarding the safety of his allies and civilians as well as [[DestructiveSavior causing major property damage]]. |
| 121 | * LetThemDieHappy: [[spoiler:When going back in time to the moment where Tiana died, Seiya takes the time to console her, despite how doing so risks a time paradox.]] |
| 122 | * LethalJokeCharacter: He temporily changes to Jolly Piper as his primary class and Earth Mage as his secondary class. Rista is initially baffled that he would choose such a weak class, [[spoiler:but Seiya uses a combination of earth magic and the piper's strong lungs to safely snipe beastkin with a blowpipe. This allows him to reach the level cap and isolate Bunogeos.]] |
| 123 | * LevelGrinding: The reason why he locks himself for training is to ensure that he will have higher stats than his opponents. [[spoiler:At first, he uses the Fake Out skill to make his parameters lower than the real values, so that his opponents would underestimate him, when in reality, Seiya has the upper hand.]] |
| 124 | * LiterallyShatteredLives: [[spoiler:The toll for casting Valhalla's Gate Another is so severe that the wounds in his body begin to form ''cracks'' all over him, slowly killing him as his limbs disappear.]] |
| 125 | * LustObject: Rista doesn't put much effort into hiding how much she wants to jump into bed with Seiya despite knowing it would get them both into big trouble because goddesses can't be in relationships with humans. |
| 126 | * MagicKnight: He can also learn various elemental spells, as well as channeling magic through his weapon. |
| 127 | * MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Despite his dislike of taking even the slightest bit of damage, he has high pain tolerance. [[spoiler:When Emperor Roseguard cuts his arm off, Seiya calmly activates a technique to mirror that damage onto the emperor's matching arm.]] |
| 128 | * MakeSureHesDead: He's always worried that his slain foes will come back to life [[spoiler:because in his previous summoning, he was killed by Demon Lord Ultimaeus, who has a self-revival technique]]. As such, he spams his best skills and fire magic to ensure not a single cell remains, collateral damage be damned. After gaining earth magic, he starts sending his enemies to the planet's core to ensure their remains are incinerated. |
| 129 | * MasterSwordsman: After training with Cerceus and Adenela, he becomes skilled enough with a sword to adapt several of his techniques to DualWielding. |
| 130 | * MeteorSummoningAttack: He can use a spell called Meteor Strike to summon a meteor capable of wiping out tens of thousands of enemies. He also has enough MP reserves to spam it all day. |
| 131 | * MookHorrorShow: Seiya's enemies can grow quite terrified of him once he neutralizes any potential threats they possessed, especially if he takes out a lot of them at once. |
| 132 | * MoralMyopia: He scolds Ristarte for looking at his status screen because that is an invasion of personal privacy. Okay, fair enough, but he doesn't see anything wrong with entering Ristarte's bedroom and pulling hairs out of her head while she's sleeping. |
| 133 | * MrFanservice: The manga and anime trailer feature many shots of him working out while {{shirtless|Scene}}, and he's ripped in each one. |
| 134 | * MundaneUtility: |
| 135 | ** Without their knowledge, Seiya gathers the ''hair strands'' of his companions (especially Rista) so that he could use them as synthesis material in [[ItemCrafting forging new equipment]] with his Combine skill. Surprisingly, the results come with additional benefits depending on the person's hair. He speculates that the items will be of good quality when mixed with Rista's hair (one is a Platinum Sword), Mash's and Elulu's hairs helped forge the [[WeaponOfXSlaying Dragon Killer]] sword since they belong to the dragonkin. |
| 136 | ** Even though he isn't dealing damage at that point, Seiya kept on using "Gunshot Sword" against [[spoiler:the Dragon Mother in order to push her off the ledge and make her die from falling]]. |
| 137 | ** Seiya sees Mash and Elulu as his personal inventory carriers. After he defeats Beel Bub and the demon flies, he commands Elulu to buff Mash with [[SuperSpeed Haste]] so that he can quickly carry the flies' corpses into a mound to be incinerated. |
| 138 | * MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:In his first summon, he rushed to save Ixphoria, which resulted him in being underleveled and lacking in information to finish Ixphoria's Demon Lord. He was too weak to stop the Demon Lord from eating his party in front of him before the Demon Lord ate his wife Tiana and their unborn baby. He deeply regrets this failure to the point where he becomes more cautious despite losing his memories.]] |
| 139 | * MyGreatestSecondChance: [[spoiler:Before getting killed by Ixphoria's Demon Lord, he left himself a message in his "Properties" window telling himself to be more cautious so he can save the next world to which he's summoned, along with any friends he makes there. He succeeds in saving the next world, Gaeabrande, though his real second chance arrives when he's resummoned to Ixphoria.]] |
| 140 | * MysteriousPast: Not much is known about Seiya's life in Japan, other than him being unfamiliar with the Isekai genre. [[spoiler:In the Twisted Gaeabrande arc, he's summoned in military camo and he states he occasionally has a job where this outfit is appropriate, implying he's in the JSDF.]] |
| 141 | * NeverBeHurtAgain: [[spoiler:His subconscious only had his cautious personality left over after the mind wipe, meaning his constant pushing away people and extreme pragmatism is a result of not wanting to go through the same tragedy he experienced in Ixphoria.]] |
| 142 | * NewGamePlus: The closest explanation for why Seiya has the "Overly Cautious" personality even at Level 1. [[spoiler:He has already been summoned before in an attempt to save another world. He may have lost his memories of his past adventures, but the trait of being paranoid and cautious became ingrained in him due to the guilt of failing to save Ixphoria.]] |
| 143 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Due to his overly cautious nature, Seiya made sure to pulverize Chaos Machina's remains to make sure that she won't regenerate. [[spoiler:After casting Hell's Fire and Maximum Inferno repeatedly despite the others' protests, he accidentally sets Edona on fire, with the townspeople who previously praised him as a hero now demanding him to leave.]] |
| 144 | * TheNicknamer: |
| 145 | ** He calls both Rista and Valkyrie "exhibitionists" after looking at their outfits. Both goddesses take offense to this. |
| 146 | ** He calls Mash as "mushroom" or "organic mushroom". |
| 147 | ** He calls Rista as "inferior herb woman" after her healing powers lost against a shopkeeper's herbal medicine. |
| 148 | * NoSocialSkills: The only skills that he ''doesn't'' max out as soon as he can are those relating to anything that has to do with relating to other people. Just one example is calling Mash "Mushroom" even after he's proven that he knows Mash's actual name. |
| 149 | * NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:After Seiya disappears into light from paying the toll of summoning two Valhalla's Gates, his friends mourned for him, thinking that he's truly dead. This wasn't the case as Ishtar revealed that the effects of Chain Destruction vanished as soon as Seiya summoned the second gate, and that his soul is perfectly safe, he's just sent back to Earth, and Rista can summon him again.]] |
| 150 | * OneManArmy: He's so powerful that he can wipe out entire armies by himself. Early on in his adventure, he faces off against Deathmagla's 10,000 strong army of undead soldiers. He opts to throw a meteor that kills them all. And a second one, just to be safe. |
| 151 | * TheOnlyOneITrust: If someone gives him food, and their name is not "Rista", then he assumes it is poisoned. |
| 152 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: |
| 153 | ** After training with Valkyrie, Seiya doesn't state that he's "perfectly prepared." [[spoiler:This is because he knows that his chances of beating Gaeabrande's Demon Lord are slim and that he plans on sacrificing himself to win. It also applies before he attempted to fight Eraser Kaiser. Fortunately, Wohlks was the one who killed Kaiser. Finally, in the next battle, Seiya never mentioned this when he figts Wohlks himself, and it shows that he had a hard time in their fight.]] |
| 154 | ** [[spoiler:Seiya shouting "Stop! You'll die!" with a worried expression and tone different from his usual stoic demeanor when his allies try to assist him in fighting Wohlks.]] |
| 155 | ** At the end of Episode 10, Seiya tells the party that they should take some time for R&R, which is unusual for a training maniac like him. [[spoiler:This is so he can leave to fight the Demon Lord by himself while everyone else is relaxing in the city.]] |
| 156 | ** In Episode 12, [[spoiler:after defeating the Demon Lord at the cost of his life, Seiya finally drops his cold front and thanks his party for their help.]] |
| 157 | * OutOfCharacter: [[spoiler:After Rista finds out that he faked the ultimate sword Igzasion, Seiya whispers "[[GratuitousEnglish Gonna be okay]]" to himself in a worried tone.]] |
| 158 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: While Seiya normally battles the tougher opponents, after defeating Beel Bub, he tells Mash and Elulu it's their turn to shine and show off some of the new skills they got after training with Ariadoa. Thinking they'd finally get a chance to fight something, [[spoiler:Seiya instead kills all the remaining flies by shooting at them very quickly with his bow. He then asks Elulu to use her Haste buff on Mash, and has Mash collect all the dead bodies so he can incinerate them all at once.]] |
| 159 | * PapaWolf: [[spoiler:He spends much of the Ixphoria arc trying to research a way to save the soul of his child Kiriko from Ultimaeus.]] |
| 160 | * PercussiveMaintenance: Invoked. [[spoiler:When he loses his memories during the Ixphoria arc, he hits his head against his jail bars, believing that he can fix himself like a broken TV. Fortunately, this method succeeds in restoring his memories.]] |
| 161 | * PlayingWithFire: He specializes in fire elemental magic, though this means his aptitude for ice magic is low to compensate. He gets around this by making an accessory that allows him to use ice magic. |
| 162 | * PragmaticHero: Seiya cares for the people of Ixphoria but will do some underhanded things to save them. When he learns that Chaos Machina set a time limit for him to return before she kills Nina's father, he insists on training until the last minute in order to maximize his chances of victory despite how heartless that seems. His reasoning is that if he fights her too soon, he'll lose and put Gaeabrande's entire population in jeopardy. Let's also not forget that he abandons his companions so that they won't be in danger when he goes to fight the Demon Lord. |
| 163 | * ProperlyParanoid: Despite the title claiming he's overly cautious, the demons are crafty and powerful enough to warrant his countermeasures. This is shown when the first demon general attacked him while he was traveling in a low-level plain, which would have resulted in his death if he didn't take several days to exercise in the Divine Realm beforehand in the off-chance that he encounters a strong enemy in a weak area. [[spoiler:When visiting the Dragons' Den, he correctly anticipates that he'll need to prepare to fight against its residents, and prepares an anti-dragon weapon that allows him to breach the Great Mother's defenses. His suspicion towards Emperor Roseguard is also warranted, and he correctly guesses that the emperor made a deal with the Demon Lord out of frustration towards his aging body.]] While he also has a few ImproperlyParanoid moments, especially in the early episodes, all things considered, his caution is mostly justified. |
| 164 | * RealMenHateSugar: Going by his disgusted response both times people offered him cake, he doesn't care much for sweets. |
| 165 | * RequiredSecondaryPowers: He states that mastering Valkyrie's aura of destruction [[spoiler:and using Gate of Valhalla twice is the only reason he's mentally strong enough to use the Berserk technique]]. |
| 166 | * ScreamingWarrior: [[spoiler:When using Valhalla Thrust to push Gaeabrande's Demon Lord into Valhalla's Gate, Seiya screams at the top of his lungs.]] |
| 167 | * ShedArmorGainSpeed: Before fighting Wohlks, Seiya gets serious by dropping all his accessories and arm braces on the floor in order to attack faster. |
| 168 | * SmellsSexy: Rista engages in some PervertedSniffing when hugging Seiya. |
| 169 | * SmugSuper: {{Subverted|Trope}}. Due to his recklessness and devil-may-care attitude, Seiya's expression was mostly smug [[spoiler:in the past. Then a tragedy happened during the final fight]] that changed his overall expression to TheStoic Seiya whom we knew from the start. |
| 170 | * TheSoCalledCoward: Unusually for this, Seiya is not a pacifist, but rather a combat pragmatist who won't engage in battle without at least five contingency plans, even when the threat he's facing seems minimal. Rista, and many other characters, call him out for this, to which Seiya replies, not without reason, that while his methods may take a bit more time and dish out plenty of collateral damage, if he dies, the world will have ''much'' bigger problems on its hands. Ultimately, when given the option of increasing his chances of winning at the cost of innocent lives, Seiya will ''always'' take the moral option in the end, proving conclusively that he cares for others far more than he does for his own safety. |
| 171 | * StereotypeFlip: Rista expects most Japanese to be familiar with Isekai tropes due to the popularity of that genre in their country. To her surprise, Seiya isn't familiar with such tropes, as shown when he doesn't recognize a slime as the typical weak fantasy monster. Despite this, he's very creative about using his JRPG abilities. |
| 172 | * StockLightNovelHero: A hilarious parody. Rista chooses to summon Seiya because he has some of the highest stats of any potential hero. Seiya is also a dark-haired, handsome {{hunk}} with a chiseled body and [[TheStoic stoic persona]]. From the moment he appears, she [[EatingTheEyeCandy lusts over him]], and eventually, he gains the admiration of ''several'' other goddesses within the divine realm. However, he is TheParanoiac that won't do ''anything'' unless he is "[[{{CharacterCatchphrase}} perfectly prepared]]". He will spend ''weeks'' at a time doing nothing but training or working out until he has maxed out every single skill available, synthesizes the most powerful weapons as well as backups of those weapons and ''backups to the backups'', buys hundreds of helpful items in bulk, and treats every single person he meets with complete suspicion and caution, including his own party members and Rista herself. And [[ProperlyParanoid it's a good thing]], because the villains of this world are just as [[NoNonsenseNemesis savvy and prepared]]. |
| 173 | * TheStoic: He's straight-faced and collected at all times. |
| 174 | * StrongAndSkilled: He's considered an exceptional hero due to his high stats and ability to learn new skills quickly. However, he's WeakButSkilled compared to Gaeabrande's Demon Lord and [[spoiler:Emperor Roseguard]], since he cannot surpass their stats despite hitting the level cap, forcing him to rely on creative tactics to come out on top. |
| 175 | * TakeAThirdOption: |
| 176 | ** In Gaeabrande, Seiya has to choose between [[spoiler:the only weapon that can kill the Demon Lord and the life of Elulu. He chooses to save Elulu, but still kills the Demon Lord with clever use of Valhalla's Gate.]] |
| 177 | ** Subverted in Ixphoria. [[spoiler:He learns that killing Ultimaeus will result in Kiriko's death, since her soul is tied to the Demon Lord. He attempts to research a way to preserve her soul, but ultimately learns that there's no way to save her.]] |
| 178 | * TalentedButTrained: While Seiya is able to learn many skills by leveling up or seeing the skill used once, he trains under the gods so he can learn abilities he wouldn't normally have. |
| 179 | * TallDarkAndHandsome: Basically the overall description of his appearance as provided by Ristarte at the beginning of the series; over 180 cm tall, smooth black hair, and a very good-looking face of noble features. |
| 180 | * ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: He always blasts an enemy's corpse into oblivion with his fire magic and Atomic Split Slash, just in case they can come back FromASingleCell. [[spoiler:Considering Ixphoria's Demon Lord defeated him by coming back to life from his upper body, Seiya has a point in doing this.]] In the second arc, Seiya uses his earth magic to send the enemies' corpses as close to the planet's core as possible. Fortunately, this new method is less destructive towards his surroundings. |
| 181 | * TimeForPlanB: When faced against [[spoiler:Crossed Thanatos, an opponent that he cannot defeat head-on, Seiya runs across the Divine Realm in order to bait it and find someone capable of killing the monster. Fortunately, Valkyrie is there.]] In real-life MMO video game strategy, what Seiya does is called [[spoiler:"kiting"]]. |
| 182 | * TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:He learns how to use the Berserk state to boost his stats beyond a million, allowing him to match Ixphoria's demon emperors. After training in multiple elements and combat styles with the gods, he becomes strong and versatile enough to unleash a CurbStompBattle on Ultimaeus.]] |
| 183 | * TookALevelInJerkass: |
| 184 | ** In the Ixphoria arc. [[spoiler:After regaining his memories in Galvano, Seiya becomes far less tolerant of the Little Light's citizens' backtalk, to the point where he punches every man, woman, and child who yells at him. He also dumps Rista for letting the werewolf into the Divine Realm and has a much lower opinion of her than in the Gaeabrande arc.]] |
| 185 | ** In the Warped Gaeabrande arc, [[spoiler:he is very callous towards his allies and has no problem sacrificing them to make his quest easier, in contrast to how he refused to put any of his allies at risk in the previous arcs unless absolutely necessary. This is because he sees the people of Warped Gaeabrande as mere illusions.]] |
| 186 | * ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: [[spoiler:When Aria summoned him to Ixphoria, Seiya tried to defeat the demon army as quickly as possible so that the people of the world won't have to suffer longer than necessary. While he has noble intentions, his lack of preparation gets him and his party killed by Ixphoria's Demon Lord.]] |
| 187 | * {{Tsundere}}: Harsh type. Despite his very ''difficult'' personality and poor treatment of others, Seiya shows he does care for Rista and his other companions at the end of the day. Rista even [[LampshadeHanging calls him out on it]] [[spoiler:after he was ready to sacrifice himself to defeat Gaeabrande's Demon Lord without letting her or any of their friends die]]. |
| 188 | * UniquenessValue: Seiya is viewed a rare hero, or a "one-in-ten-billion people" genius by Rista due to his overpowered stats even at Level 1. |
| 189 | * UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: While PlayedForLaughs, Seiya is extremely rude, insensitive to people's feelings, dismisses and insults his allies by calling next to useless, and isn't above using violence when someone annoys him even if it's a woman. [[spoiler:It takes the revelation of ''why'' he's like this to make him truly sympathetic, with most of his traits taking on a more tragic light.]] |
| 190 | * WeHaveReserves: |
| 191 | ** Defied in the Gaeabrande arc. He refuses to bring Roseguard's troops with him to fight the undead army because he doesn't want them to risk their lives for nothing. He chews out Rosalie for sending her soldiers to their deaths in battles they have no hope of winning. |
| 192 | ** Played straight in the Warped Gaeabrande arc. [[spoiler:Since he doesn't think the people of the warped worlds are real and that his actions will have no consequences on the real citizens, he's willing to use them as meatshields in his battle against the Dragonewts. He tries to use the demons as meatshields too, since he thinks they'll probably do some decent damage to Mash before he wipes them out, but this plan doesn't work out because the demons betray the humans.]] |
| 193 | * WeaponOfXSlaying: |
| 194 | ** He forged the Dragon Killer swords which help in slaying dragons. This is due to his suspicions of [[spoiler:possibly having to defeat a dragon in their village. He's right, since the Great Mother of Dragons picked a fight with his party]]. |
| 195 | ** He uses the Dark God's Amulets to create the Holy Power Drain Sword, or Granny Rista Sword. This allows him to drain the power of godly beings and weaken them, which is useful for when he fights [[spoiler:Nemesiel and later Ultimaeus's divine form.]] |
| 196 | * WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: In Warped Gaeabrande, [[spoiler:he believes the humans here are merely illusionary versions of the real ones, and thus are expendable.]] |
| 197 | * WhenHeSmiles: [[spoiler:Before dying, he finally gives a heartfelt smile upon realizing that Rista is the reincarnation of his lover from a previous life and he got to see her one last time.]] |
| 198 | * WillfullyWeak: One of, if not ''the'' first ability he learns is one that hides his true level and stats, which he keeps a secret even from Rista. It's only against Chaos Machina that he finally reveals his true strength. |
| 199 | * WistfulAmnesia: [[spoiler:He doesn't remember his journey in Ixphoria, but he still feels subconscious regret over failing to save that world, which is why he became overly cautious.]] |
| 200 | * WouldHitAGirl: |
| 201 | ** He throws Rista at a wall head-first hard enough for her to bounce to quickly get her off of him after landing on top of him due to their hasty retreat to the Divine Realm so he can immediately start working out some more, and conks her over the head when she's about to teleport him directly to Edona for his rematch with Chaos Machina, insisting on being teleported further out instead. |
| 202 | ** He slaps Princess Rosalie when she insists on marching herself and her army into a hopeless battle with flying insectoid demons. He slaps her again when she refuses to [[spoiler:reconcile with her father, who went through a DeathEqualsRedemption situation.]] |

| 205 | [[folder:Ristarte]] |
| 206 | !!Ristarte |
| 207 | !!! '''Voiced by:''' Creator/AkiToyosaki (Japanese), Creator/JamieMarchi (English), Creator/TiaBallard (as [[spoiler:Tiana]], English) |
| 208 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cautious_hero_ristarte.png]] |
| 209 | |
| 210 | A rookie goddess of healing, who is tasked with saving Gaeabrande. |
| 211 | ---- |
| 212 | * ACupAngst: A minor case. She knows she's hardly flat, but she feels that way compared to Ariadoa. |
| 213 | * AffectionateNickname: Everyone just calls her "Rista", for short. |
| 214 | * ArentYouGoingToRavishMe: |
| 215 | ** When Seiya states that he has one condition before helping Rista, he takes his off his shirt. Rista imagines herself in bed and having a romantic encounter with Seiya while very quietly stating how a god and a human can't have a relationship. She then gets annoyed when it turns out the request is for him to work out until he's ready. |
| 216 | ** When she finds out that Seiya snuck into her room to take 100 of her hairs to craft another powerful sword, she demands to know if he did "[[SexualEuphemism this and that]]" to her while she was asleep. When he makes it clear that he didn't, she becomes upset. |
| 217 | * BitingTheHandkerchief: Rista does this after Seiya leaves her in the Roseguard castle to rest, thinking that she's inferior to medicinal herbs. |
| 218 | * BlatantLies: Annoyed at a tailor's sarcastic tone and ridiculous swimsuit offers, Rista, without hesitation, tells her that Seiya is her boyfriend. That's not currently correct though, as romantic relationships are a taboo in the Divine Realm. [[spoiler:This is {{subverted|Trope}} once you realize that Rista is the reincarnation of Seiya's lover.]] |
| 219 | * BoringButPractical: Her healing magic is slower than high-tier medicinal herbs, but herbs can't re-attach lost limbs while she can do so, even with her powers weakened. |
| 220 | * ButtMonkey: Seiya compares her to a medicinal herb and due to her power being nerfed in the mortal realms, she actually does end up less powerful than the strongest healing items. Seiya also tends to remove her hair without permission in order to use it as a crafting ingredient, push her around, mouth off to her, and so on, although he genuinely cares about her survival. |
| 221 | * CassandraTruth: In the Warped Gaeabrande arc, [[spoiler:Rista is the only one who can see an evil version of Elulu influencing Mash. She also has a dream where Elulu warns her that Seiya's current method of simply killing Mash isn't going to save the world. Unfortunately, due to Rista being wrong many times in the past, Seiya doesn't believe her until she manages to take him into Mash's mind, where the original Mash and Elulu confirm Rista's account.]] |
| 222 | * ChekhovsGunman: It's revealed that if a hero dies while trying to save a world, they'll simply return where they came from without any memories of their time in that world. This sets up a major [[TheReveal reveal]] later. |
| 223 | * ClingyJealousGirl: She gets jealous when she catches Seiya in bed with Valkyrie, not realizing [[spoiler:that this is a way for the Valkyrie to teach Seiya how to use Valhalla's Gate.]] |
| 224 | * CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Almost everything that Seiya does weird will be rejected or rebutted by her: |
| 225 | ** Seiya has a weird habit or RunningGag of wanting spares for his weapons and equipment. She's there to make sure that they don't spend too much money. |
| 226 | ** Due to being overly cautious, Seiya is mostly stoic and doesn't easily trust strangers. This makes him forget how to converse politely. Rista is there to scold him for his rudeness or to ask their inquiries in a more polite manner in his behalf. |
| 227 | ** When Seiya repeatedly slaps Rosalie (in self-defense), Rista [[LampshadeHanging decries]] his lack of "feminism". Once they return to the Divine Realm, she tells him to stop doing that. |
| 228 | * CovertPervert: She may try to keep up the appearance of a respectable goddess, but it's blatantly clear she wants to jump Seiya despite the rules. |
| 229 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Despite going through a number of frustrating and humiliating situations, her healing is actually very powerful when she's not limited by the gods' rules. [[spoiler:After Seiya's first use of Valhalla's Gate, Rista manages to heal him so he can survive the backlash. Keep in mind that Valkyrie had to buff herself to max stats in order to survive the recoil of that technique. In the Ixphoria arc, she turns out to be an InstantExpert at anti-curse techniques and kills one of the enemy generals with a light spell.]] Even when weakened due to the gods' rules, she can heal severed limbs. |
| 230 | * DeityOfHumanOrigin: [[spoiler:Like Cerceus, Rista was originally a human who was reborn as a goddess after her death because of her good deeds.]] |
| 231 | * DistractedByTheSexy: Seiya drives her mad with his personality, but she can't help but get hot and bothered when he is shirtless or when she's close to him. |
| 232 | * DoubleEntendre: Says this innuendo after a tailor offered her to buy underwear that would expose the crotch of her "boyfriend" Seiya: |
| 233 | --> If Seiya wears this, his elephant will be fully visible. |
| 234 | * DullEyesOfUnhappiness: After she sees [[spoiler:Seiya and Valkyrie naked in bed, which makes him learn a Destruction Art skill]], she becomes overly jealous, desperate and shocked, to the point that her eyes are drawn in this way. |
| 235 | * EatenAlive: [[spoiler:Her fate at the end of her failed quest to save Ixphoria, courtesy of Ultimaeus, the Demon Lord. She also endured the horror of having Kiriko ripped out of her before being eaten.]] |
| 236 | * EatingTheEyeCandy: Most of her first impressions with Seiya are about being stunned with his appearance or muscular build. In particular, Rista barged in the room without knocking, only to catch sight of his six-pack abs. |
| 237 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: The very first scene of the anime see her assigned to save the [[DeathWorld S-rank world]] Gaeabrande, and she accepts the task with humility and grace worthy of a goddess in front of the assembled deities. This is immediately followed by her running into her room to vent [[GodIsFlawed in a much more human fashion]]. We will see this duality very often throughout the series, with Rista trying to put on the airs of a proper goddess, while Seiya keeps bringing out her more human side. |
| 238 | * ExperiencedProtagonist: She managed to save a few worlds before receiving the mission to save Gaeabrande. Some of her summoned heroes were unfamiliar with Isekai and JRPG mechanics, but she still managed to teach them enough to save those worlds. However, it's {{downplayed|trope}} since Rista is still quite young for a goddess and has saved very few worlds of low difficulty, which is why she felt unprepared for taking on the huge task of saving a S-rank world which is difficult even for veteran gods. |
| 239 | * FreudianSlip: |
| 240 | ** Rista just can't resist blurting out her perverted thoughts about Seiya even in a state of emergency, when Aria feared that [[spoiler:Mitis might sexually harass him]]: |
| 241 | --->I can't let this one-in-ten-billion-people level genius get kicked out because he got in bed with a goddess!! If it has to be a goddess, why not me... [[LampshadeHanging Wait, that's not what I wanted to say!]] |
| 242 | ** Rista accidentally blurted out that the Divine Realm's shops are better than the clothing shop in Gaeabrande. This annoys the female shopkeeper to the point where she sarcastically mocks Rista by offering her ridiculous swimwear that are too risqué. |
| 243 | * GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: Rista is a HealerGod with long blonde hair and clad in a white dress with gold accessories. |
| 244 | * GoodWearsWhite: She's a benevolent goddess and the main heroine, always dressed in a white dress. |
| 245 | * GratuitousEnglish: In the Japanese version, she says "Oh, six pack!" in a stunned state when she sees [[FemaleGaze Seiya's abs]] and "Oh, sexy!" when Seiya comes out from the shower. |
| 246 | * HairIntakes: Her hairstyle includes a pair of what look like cat ears. |
| 247 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: A very kind, good-natured and beautiful goddess with long blonde hair. |
| 248 | * HasAType: She likes tall, muscle toned men with dark hair. Seiya fits this to a T. [[spoiler:The reason why is because she subconsciously remembers that he was her lover in her previous life.]] |
| 249 | * HealerGod: Rista is the Goddess of Healing and her main function in Seiya's party is using her HealingHands whenever someone gets hurt. However, her divine power is highly restrained outside of the Divine Realm, so Seiya makes fun of her by saying she isn't any more useful than a medical herb. |
| 250 | * HeroWorshipper: |
| 251 | ** She describes Aria as the ideal goddess and regularly visits her for advice. |
| 252 | ** To a lesser extent, she gains more faith in Seiya when his preparations allow him to defeat several impossibly difficult foes. |
| 253 | * HeroicBSOD: She becomes depressed after [[spoiler:Seiya's supposed death from saving Gaeabrande]], to the point where she lacks her usual cheerful personality once she returns to the Divine Realm, as she locks herself in her room for days, and leaves her hair in a messy state. Fortunately, all of the other deities try to raise her spirits once again. She finally breaks out of her depression once [[spoiler:Ishtar reveals that Seiya is still alive, he's just sent back to Earth and can be summoned once again]]. |
| 254 | * HotGod: She's pretty cute and buxom, with her outfit leaving little to the imagination. When she first summons Seiya, she muses that he has never seen so perfect a woman among mortals. |
| 255 | * ImagineSpot: She easily fell for Seiya's looks, and also easily misinterprets his requests as [[ArentYouGoingToRavishMe romantic advances]]. Cue some of Rista's imaginations about having to kiss him... until she remembers that romance between gods and mortals are forbidden. |
| 256 | * ImmortalsFearDeath: Gods like Rista are immortal thanks to their soul being secured in a room at the Divine Realm. When [[spoiler:Wohlks Roseguard]] is revealed to have a weapon from the Demon Lord that can kill a god's body ''and'' soul, she cries in terror of dying for real and calls for Seiya to save her. |
| 257 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: |
| 258 | ** Rista points out that Aria only failed to save one world, but Aria reminds her that the world is all its residents have. |
| 259 | ** When Rista tries to convince Seiya to recruit the dragonkin duo, he states they wouldn't be much help in combat. Rista then states that they can be used as key items to get past any obstacle that requires their lineage, but the duo are offended to be considered "items." |
| 260 | * {{Irony}}: Rista often complains about the way Seiya spends too much time training and tells him he could try leveling up by fighting strong monsters instead of avoiding danger. [[spoiler:In her past life as Tiana, she instead wanted Seiya to train more because he always recklessly charged at dangerous monsters and got badly hurt, only surviving thanks to Tiana healing him.]] |
| 261 | * JerkassGods: Downplayed. While genuinely well-intentioned, she's fairly arrogant as she frequently gets irritated at Seiya for refusing to treat her as a goddess. She's also somewhat impulsive and overconfident, decrying Seiya's careful tactics, even ''after'' they prove themselves to be invaluable in the DeathWorld that is Gaeabrande. Unfortunately for her, Seiya's having none of it, and Rista's the one who usually ends up humbled by him instead of the other way around. |
| 262 | * LovableSexManiac: Her perverted thoughts about Seiya rise to its peak once she decides to buy a swimsuit for Seiya that will expose his crotch. |
| 263 | * LoveAtFirstSight: She's instantly smitten with Seiya from the moment she first lays her eyes on him because of how handsome he is, but she has to remind herself that goddesses aren't allowed to have romantic relationships with humans. [[spoiler:Her immediate strong attraction is also influenced by the fact that she was married to him in her previous life.]] |
| 264 | * MeaningfulName: Her name echoes Astarte, an ancient Semitic goddess of sexuality and war, which is fitting for a fantasy goddess who assists heroes and incidentally lusts for them. It also sounds an awful lot like "restart", which is equally fitting, since [[spoiler:that's basically what happened to her when she lost her memories and became a goddess.]] |
| 265 | * MetaGirl: Most of her InnerMonologue comments on the absurd tactics or tropes that Seiya used recently. |
| 266 | * MsFanservice: She's this thanks to her outfit showing her cleavage. |
| 267 | * MundaneUtility: She makes a doll out of her hair just so she can give it to Seiya as a synthesis material. |
| 268 | * NewMeat: She's only saved a few low-difficulty worlds, and is considered inexperienced for a goddess. |
| 269 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: |
| 270 | ** [[spoiler:When attempting to change the location of the portal in the Divine Realm, she accidentally allows a werewolf demon to go through the portal. The werewolf then inflicts an amnesia ailment on Seiya, causing the hero to regress back to his reckless ways. When Seiya regains his memories, he remains angry towards Rista for a while.]] |
| 271 | ** While under her fish beastkin guise, [[spoiler:Rista accidentally leads Grandleon to see Queen Carmilla's doll. This leads to Grandleon destroying the doll and making the queen cry, which satisfies his conditions for executing her. Seiya has to cancel the Hexagram Ritual of Divine Retribution and risk a straight fight with Grandleon in order to save the queen.]] |
| 272 | * NoodleIncident: She mentions that she once summoned a ''Martian'' as a hero for a low difficulty world and had to get them up to speed with the situation. |
| 273 | * OddJobGods: The Goddess of Healing, which doesn't sound too bad. Unfortunately, when repressed, her power is quite weak and she's still seen as a junior goddess. |
| 274 | * PervertRevengeMode: Every time Jonde tries to oogle Mega Rista, the real Rista reacts violently, to the point of trying to twist his neck. |
| 275 | * ThePigPen: Downplayed. Other characters often claim she has a sour body odor, and she's advised to bathe more often. This actually saves her in the Ixphoria arc, where a demon refuses to eat her because of her odor. |
| 276 | * ProperLady: She tries really hard to behave like a goddess should, staying calm and dignified. Except, Seiya's overcautious nature frustrates her so much that she loses her temper and uses crass language unbefitting of a goddess. |
| 277 | * {{Psychometry}}: Normally, her Appraisal skill only allows her to see some minor information about objects and people. While in her Demon Goddess form, her Appraisal allows her to read the thoughts of the people associated with the target object. |
| 278 | * PunnyName: If it isn't obvious enough, "Ristarte" is just the {{Engrish}} pronunciation of the word "Restart", probably chosen by it sounding similar to real life Semitic goddess Astarte. |
| 279 | * {{Reincarnation}}: [[spoiler:She's the reincarnation of Princess Tiana, Seiya's lover from Ixphoria.]] |
| 280 | * ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: After learning of Seiya's [[spoiler:and her]] past, she willingly disobeys the Divine Realm's rules to save Seiya. |
| 281 | * SelfProclaimedLoveInterest: She readily claims that Seiya is her boyfriend when asked, even though Seiya would definitely disagree. [[spoiler:It's probably a reflex caused by her subconsciously remembering that Seiya was her husband in her previous life.]] |
| 282 | * SexyBacklessOutfit: Her dress leaves her back bare. |
| 283 | * ShowgirlSkirt: She wears a crescent-shaped skirt that fully reveals the front of her legs. |
| 284 | * SignatureHeadgear: She always wears a blue hair bow. [[spoiler:The fact that Tiana had a similar bow is a giveaway that Rista is her reincarnation.]] |
| 285 | * {{Slapstick}}: When some silly screwball moment happens, she's often on the receiving end of it. |
| 286 | * StraightMan: She's the one to react at and call out the absurdity of pretty much everything about Seiya. |
| 287 | * {{Stripperiffic}}: Her outfit is very revealing, which Seiya lampshades early on. Rista protests that her magic lets other people see her dressed more modestly. |
| 288 | * SupportingProtagonist: She's the main viewpoint character, but due to laws restricting the gods in mortal realms, her summoned hero, Seiya, drives more of the plot. |
| 289 | * TearsOfJoy: [[spoiler:This is her reaction when she finds out she's allowed to summon Seiya again after Zenos is slain, as she feared Seiya had ended up DeaderThanDead due to it.]] |
| 290 | * TemptingFate: In the first manga volume's short story, Rista is angered by an archangel who criticized her lack of progress. In response, she yells "I'll take any A- or S-ranked world you throw at me!" She soon gets assigned to the S-ranked world, Gaeabrande. |
| 291 | * TraumaticCSection: [[spoiler:In her previous life as Tiana, Ultimaeus ripped Kiriko from her womb and ate her right in front of Seiya.]] |
| 292 | * {{Tsundere}}: Sweet type; she's nice and kind to everyone except Seiya. She has a crush on Seiya, but at the same time, is exasperated by his cautious personality and rude behavior. |
| 293 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: |
| 294 | ** Her first impression of Seiya was the result of this. Rista thought that he was a coward when he was just being cautious. When she thought that he is backing away from saving Edona, he just needed some time to level-grind. And when she thought that he couldn't take out Chaos Machina's bull form in his current state, it was when she realized that Seiya was just faking his real, higher stats. |
| 295 | ** She initially believes the tactics she used in low difficulty worlds, such as level grinding in a weak area, will work against the demons of Gaeabrande and that Seiya's cautiousness is overkill. She's proven wrong when the demons of Gaeabrande turn out to be wise to the tactics that defeated their brethren in other worlds. |
| 296 | * {{Unishment}}: For the "crime" of using her goddess abilities to directly interfere with the final battle between Seiya and Gaeabrande's Demon Lord, Rista is sentenced to [[spoiler:save the SS-ranked world [[HellOnEarth Ixphoria]], her original homeworld as a mortal. In addition, she is told that since Zenos' Chain Destruction was destroyed in the final battle, she is free to summon Seiya once again to aid her.]] |
| 297 | * UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Seiya wonders how the people of Gaeabrande [[NotDistractedByTheSexy don't react to Rista's "exhibitionist's clothing"]]. Rista explains that she uses her powers to make it look like she's wearing normal clothes to regular people. |
| 298 | * VaporWear: It's quite obvious from a glance that her outfit doesn't have any form of breast support beyond her top. This becomes a detriment when she ends up getting dragged along by Seiya at high speeds in order to quickly get somewhere, resulting in her breasts popping out. |
| 299 | * VictoriasSecretCompartment: She places a piece of chalk for summoning circles there in the anime. |
| 300 | * WhatTheHellHero: She regularly criticizes Seiya for his actions because they are not becoming of a proper hero. These include, but are not limited to: Telling people they're useless, burning down/exploding buildings to make absolutely sure a given enemy is dead, barging into bedrooms without as much as a knock and taking things without asking. |
| 301 | * WhiteMagicianGirl: Downplayed. She specializes in healing and usually means well, but she can also be petty when arguing with Seiya. There's a justification for this as well. [[spoiler:Before she became the Goddess of Healing, she was the healer in Seiya's party back in Ixphoria.]] |
| 302 | * WildTake: Rista's exaggerated facial expressions qualify. |
| 303 | * WingedHumanoid: Being a goddess, Rista can sprout angel wings from her back by asking Ishtar's authorization. |
| 304 | * YouDontLookLikeYou: [[spoiler:Her past life as Tiana has a remarkably different design between [[https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/537669991907065866/659600363745443841/EJl8mDBX0AEgq_l.png?width=901&height=676 the original light novel]] and [[https://www.anime-planet.com/images/characters/tiana-cautious-hero-the-hero-is-overpowered-but-overly-cautious-179779.jpg?t=1577534667 the anime]]. In the light novel, her design is akin to a cross between a cleric and a PrincessClassic, with little actual resemblance to Rista. The anime, however, has her as a flat out PaletteSwap, looking like Rista with shorter brunette hair, and wearing a simple dress, even sporting a bow just like Rista's.]] |

| 312 | |
| 313 | The Goddess of Sealing, who saved over three hundred worlds. |
| 314 | ---- |
| 315 | * TheAce: She's one of the most experienced goddesses, as shown by her track record of saving hundreds of worlds. Even Valkyrie, who looks down on most other deities, respects her. Her experience is shown when she advises Seiya to take advantage of the Divine Realm to train under other deities and when she figures out how to make Mash and Elulu stronger. |
| 316 | * BuxomBeautyStandard: One of the first things we learn about her, courtesy of Rista bringing attention to it, is that she has G-cup sized breasts, which Rista expresses some envy towards. |
| 317 | * CoolBigSis: She has this dynamic with Rista as she's very kind and protective of her. [[spoiler:This is ultimately a trait carried over from when Aria first summoned Seiya, as Rista's past life as Princess Tiana was to Aria what Elulu is to Rista. Tiana's death was particularly painful for Aria, so she became protective of Rista once she became a goddess.]] |
| 318 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: There are some suspicious stuff that hints Aria's connection to [[spoiler:Seiya]]: |
| 319 | ** Aria spills the tea she's holding, as if she is ''very surprised'' to see Seiya face-to-face [[spoiler:again]]. |
| 320 | ** [[spoiler:She speaks in a very casual tone to Seiya and addresses him on a first name basis when she interrupts the ruckus between him and Valkyrie. Of course, Seiya is curious and wary about this casualness since they haven't met yet. He's wrong though, as they have already met before.]] |
| 321 | ** Rista wonders why Aria can be calm about any situation regarding Seiya and seemingly knows about him more when in fact, the former has been with him for longer. Aria panics briefly, stating that it's because Rista tells stories about him a lot. [[spoiler:What Rista doesn't know is that Aria is the first goddess who summoned Seiya before she did.]] |
| 322 | ** She seems too emotional whenever Rista talks about Seiya, as if she's trying to distance herself from him. [[spoiler:A WhamShot even shows Aria crying when she realized that Seiya went to face the Demon Lord of Gaeabrande by himself. This is due to regret, or a fear that Seiya might die again.]] |
| 323 | * HotGod: She's an attractive lady with bigger breasts than Rista. |
| 324 | * IgnoredExpert: [[spoiler:She advised Seiya to visit a faraway village to gather information on Ixphoria's Demon Lord. In his haste, Seiya had the party go straight to the Demon Lord, resulting in their demise when they're unprepared for the enemy's self-revival skill.]] |
| 325 | * MentorArchetype: She teaches Elulu some StatusBuff abilities, and helps Mash in unlocking his dragon form. |
| 326 | * AMillionIsAStatistic: Defied. Aria is ashamed of failing to save a single world, since that world is all the residents had, and now they're doomed to suffering under the rule of the Demon Lord. |
| 327 | * MundaneUtility: Her power over seals can be used to unlock doors. |
| 328 | * MyGreatestFailure: Her failure to save the B-ranked world of [[spoiler:Ixphoria]] weighs heavily on her. [[spoiler: [[TakeMeInstead She tries to talk Ishtar into sending her back during Rista's sentencing in the latter's place]], but is denied the opportunity.]] |
| 329 | * MyGreatestSecondChance: Her efforts to assist Seiya and Rista can be seen as this, [[spoiler:since Seiya was the hero she originally summoned to Ixphoria, while Rista is the reincarnation of one of her companions from that world.]] |
| 330 | * SexyBacklessOutfit: Her dress exposes her entire back. |

| 337 | |
| 338 | The Great Goddess in charge of all the others. |
| 339 | ---- |
| 340 | * BigBeautifulWoman: She looks a lot like the standard sweet granny and is rather chubby as a result, but she is still considered beautiful and her curves ultimately add to her charm. |
| 341 | * BigGood: She's the leader of the gods and gives them the information they need to save various worlds. |
| 342 | * CoolOldLady: Her physical appearance looks a good deal more elderly than the other gods, and she's one of the kindest and wisest people amoung the whole cast. |
| 343 | * ElderlyImmortal: She looks visibly older than the other goddesses. |
| 344 | * KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler:Mersias's faction kills her to prevent her from warning the other deities with her precognition.]] |
| 345 | * MsExposition: Ishtar narrates Seiya's true personality to Rista, Mash and Elulu, that he [[spoiler:doesn't want to see his allies die, and why he pushes people away so that they wouldn't join him in battle]], she later reveals his [[spoiler:backstory in Ixphoria via a flashback sequence]]. |
| 346 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: She admits telling Seiya a certain piece of information contributed to his HeroicBSOD. [[spoiler:The information being that Kiriko is his daughter and that her life is tied to Ultimaeus.]] |
| 347 | * NotSoAboveItAll: She openly suggests to Rista that the latter should take a bath, as she bluntly tells her that she smells like vinegar. This is right after Seiya mocked Rista's body odor. |
| 348 | * TheOmniscient: She's aware of everything that occurs in every world, and is described as all-knowing. However, she can't predict her own future. |
| 349 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She's willing to push the limits of the gods' non-interference rules so that Rista and Seiya can save Gaeabrande. [[spoiler:When Rista breaks the rules by using her full healing powers to help Seiya, Ishtar takes into consideration that she did succeed in her mission. Instead of taking away Rista's godhood, Ishtar orders her to save Ixphoria without using her healing powers, but also allows Seiya to be summoned again. Additionally, she wasn't the one who set the healing restriction on Rista, and later petitions the three highest ranking gods to lift that restriction, due to how Ixphoria's demons have Chain Destruction.]] |
| 350 | * ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Her name is taken from the Babylonian Goddess of fertility, love, storms, and war (which, oddly enough, was equivalent to Astarte, the goddess Ristarte is inspired on). She shares little in terms of ''personality'' with that of Ishtar though, behaving more like a kindly grandmother. |
| 351 | * SinkOrSwimMentor: The first volume of the manga has an easily missed short story on the back cover explaining that Ishtar is the one who assigned Rista to Gaeabrande. Nominally, her reason is to motivate Rista, who became complacent after saving five worlds. [[spoiler:While explaining her reasons, Ishtar glances over at a list of summonable heroes, implying that she chose Gaeabrande knowing that Rista would summon Seiya.]] |
| 352 | * TopGod: Subverted. She's the leader of all the deities in the Divine Realm and is considered the highest ranking one, but Valkyrie is the strongest in terms of combat ability. Later, it turns out she ranks lower than Brahma, Nemesil, and Chronoa. |

| 358 | [[quoteright:230:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cautious_hero_cerceus.png]] |
| 359 | |
| 360 | A god known as the Divine Blade. |
| 361 | ---- |
| 362 | * BreakTheBadass: Despite being a MasterSwordsman, constantly training and losing against Seiya causes him to become traumatized to the point of hating swords. It takes meeting Mash and taking him on as a disciple for him to regain his confidence. |
| 363 | * ButtMonkey: |
| 364 | ** When he's introduced, he goes from confident to traumatized because of Seiya's harsh training, causing him to abandon the sword. When he becomes a baker and opens a cafe, no one is shown appreciating his new trade and at one point, his cake gets destroyed during Crossed Thanatos's attack on the Divine Realm. |
| 365 | ** In the Ixphoria arc, he befriends Jonde and Kiriko, but when he trains them, he finds that they're already stronger than him to begin with. |
| 366 | ** In the [[spoiler:Twisted Gaeabrande arc, he reveals that he doesn't know how to open a portal to the Divine Realm. Even Rista, a fellow example of this, looks down on him for not having this basic skill.]] |
| 367 | * ChekhovsGunman: Because of him, it's revealed that some gods were once humans that ascended and lost their memories of their mortal lives. This sets up TheReveal later on. |
| 368 | * CovertPervert: In the Warped Gaeabrande arc, he shows interest in [[spoiler:being dominated by Chaos Machina and begs to be her slave.]] |
| 369 | * CripplingOverspecialization: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. He ''can'' do things aside from swordplay like baking, but in terms of god duties, he's largely only capable of training others in swordplay. [[spoiler:It's bad enough that he can't even open up portals to the Divine Realm, something even Rista can do despite being a relatively new goddess.]] |
| 370 | * DeityOfHumanOrigin: According to Ishtar, Cerceus is a human reincarnated as a god. He went through some kind of trauma in his past life, which explains why he lost his confidence after training Seiya. |
| 371 | * HeroicSecondWind: Played with. He instantly regains his pre-Seiya personality after he scans Mash when being requested to be his instructor. |
| 372 | * InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: After his BreakTheBadass moment from being forced to train with Seiya, he takes up baking and wears flowery aprons while doing so. Even after regaining his confidence after training Mash, he keeps his baking hobby and isn't afraid to openly show his emotions more often. |
| 373 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Rista notes that it's scummy of him to only get his motivation back when the next person to be trained by him, Mash, is far weaker than him. That said, he's still willing to take the time to help the protagonists, [[spoiler:even when it means training Seiya to surpass him again in the Ixphoria arc. He also gives Rista a cake to console her when she's grieving over Seiya's sacrifice. When Seiya orders him to look after Jonde and Kiriko, Cerceus is intially reluctant, but grows to appreciate the two.]] |
| 374 | * MasterSwordsman: He's the god who's an expert in swordsmanship. That is, until Cerceus got [[spoiler:traumatized after Seiya turned out to be stronger than him]]. And then, it turns out even Adenela is better than him. |
| 375 | * MentorArchetype: Was one of Seiya's first mentors and sparring partner among the gods and goddesses. Cerceus later became the mentor to help Mash level up early on. |
| 376 | * MrExposition: He's the one who tells Rista, Mash, and Elulu exactly what Adenela has been up to ever since Seiya rejected her. His terrified reaction is enough to tell Rista that something is ''seriously'' wrong. |
| 377 | * NoodleIncident: According to Ishtar, when he was still human, something heavily traumatized him to the point of it being ingrained in his soul. So despite being reborn as a god with no memory of his human life, the trauma still exists within him, he just doesn't know the reason as to why. Unfortunately for him, Seiya's TrainingFromHell drudged it up again. |
| 378 | * RedBaron: The Divine Blade. |
| 379 | * SupremeChef: Following his experiences with Seiya, he decided to take up baking as a hobby in order to be as far from swords as possible. Going by the cake we see, he actually got pretty good, even if none of Seiya's party wanted it. |
| 380 | * TookALevelInJerkass: In the Warped Gaeabrande arc, [[spoiler:when Seiya is reset and needs to train again, Cerceus uses his new Demon God form to beat the crap out of Seiya and clearly enjoys getting revenge on the hero, at least until Seiya levels up and starts beating the crap out of him. He also attempts to sell out to the demons when it looks like they have an advantage, only to be refused because he's too weak.]] |
| 381 | * TrainingFromHell: His training was supposed to be this for Seiya, but the latter insisted on continuing the training despite surpassing his teacher, turning the hell back on Cerceus. |
| 382 | * WorfHadTheFlu: Deities aren't allowed to use their full power against humans, even when training. As a result, Seiya surpasses him in a matter of days. |

| 391 | ---- |
| 392 | * BrutalHonesty: She doesn't mince words when explaining to Rista that Elulu has no potential for Fire Magic whatsoever. |
| 393 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Red hair to match her red eyes. |
| 394 | * ElementalHairColors: It's only fitting for a goddess of fire to have red hair. |
| 395 | * FlatCharacter: She's only introduced to try and help Elulu with fire magic. As such, Hestiaca has a minimal amount of screentime compared to the other named deities since she doesn't personally train Seiya in any way, and her training with Elulu is short-lived. |
| 396 | * GodOfFire: She is a fire goddess. |
| 397 | * MentorArchetype: She tries to teach Elulu fire magic, but this doesn't last long because it turns out Elulu doesn't have much aptitude for this type of magic. |

| 408 | * AmbiguouslyBi: She shows an interest in grabbing the breasts of other goddesses, but she is also found naked in bed with [[spoiler:Seiya]], stating how much of a man he is. |
| 409 | * BaritoneOfStrength: The most powerful goddess with the power of absolute destruction has the deepest voice out of any goddess, of course. |
| 410 | * BoyishShortHair: Her short hair reflects her tough and tomboyish personality. |
| 411 | * CastFromHitPoints: [[spoiler:Valhalla's Gate's backlash is so great that the user needs maxed out health or powerful healing just to survive the usage of the technique]]. |
| 412 | * ChainedByFashion: As opposed to the gowns that the other goddesses wear, Valkyrie wears chains in a way similar to a sarashi. |
| 413 | * CombatSadomasochist: When the backlash of Valhalla's Gate leaves her in a puddle of her own blood, she enjoys the pain. |
| 414 | * DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Valhalla's Gate traps an enemy in a gate that is supposed to completely destroy them. The backlash is so great that she needs to have maxed out stats in order to survive, though powerful enough healing magic also works. It's possible to summon another gate in case the enemy survives the first one, but the strain on the user is so immense their body practically shatters apart and even Rista's healing magic at full power isn't enough to save them. |
| 415 | * DestroyerDeity: Her title is the "Goddess of Destruction", and she is known as the god most dangerous in combat. Valhalla's Gate is, in fact, so destructive, that even she isn't safe from it. |
| 416 | * EveryoneHasStandards: She's disturbed when Rista shows that she made a doll of her own hair for Seiya. However, Valkyrie doesn't know that Seiya is able to use Rista's hair as synthesis ingredients. |
| 417 | * FacepalmOfDoom: Her Shattered Break skill involves crushing her opponent's head. [[spoiler:It doesn't work on Crossed Thanatos.]] |
| 418 | * GodzillaThreshold: [[spoiler:Crossed Thanatos is such a rare threat due to being a NighInvulnerable foe, that Valkyrie requests Ishtar to max her stats just so that she can use Valhalla's Gate.]] |
| 419 | * HiddenDepths: It turns out she enjoys drawing, and at one point, is seen making an oil painting of the Divine Realm. |
| 420 | * HotGod: She's more tomboyish than the other goddesses, but she's still an attractive woman in a {{stripperiffic}} outfit. |
| 421 | * IronMaiden: Her Valhalla's Gate skill is basically this. It's a creepy, towering mechanical torture device that can trap the target inside. |
| 422 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's normally a prime example of a {{Jerkass God|s}}, since she often threatens deities and heroes that annoy her and has a habit of groping her female colleagues. However, Valkyrie does gain enough respect for Seiya to teach him [[spoiler:Valhalla's Gate]] and is touched by his determination to save Gaeabrande. [[spoiler:She also tells Rista that she'd like to paint her picture someday after Gaeabrande's Demon Lord is defeated.]] |
| 423 | * MentorArchetype: She teaches Seiya [[spoiler:Valhalla's Gate]]. |
| 424 | * ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Her name, and the name of her iconic skill, Valhalla's Gate, are based from Norse mythology terms. |
| 425 | * RequiredSecondaryPowers: Valhalla's Gate takes a major physical toll on the user, which is why she requests a buff from Ishtar that maxes all her stats to 9999999 and her HP at 99999999, allowing her to survive the backlash. |
| 426 | * {{Stripperiffic}}: Her outfit exposes a lot of skin, which is one of the reasons why [[TheNicknamer Seiya]] calls her an "exhibitionist". |
| 427 | * SummonBiggerFish: Seiya utilizes this after he, along with many other gods and goddesses, are unable to defeat Crossed Thanatos, who followed them into the Divine Realm. He gets Valkyrie involved not by asking nicely, since he figured she wouldn't, but by dodging an attack by Crossed Thanatos, which hits and destroys the painting Valkyrie was working on at the moment. Despite this, even Valkyrie is forced to use a DangerousForbiddenTechnique which also deals massive damage to herself and would've been fatal had a human used it. |
| 428 | * TerribleArtist: She's not very good at drawing despite her interest in it. We see a painting of Aria in her room in Episode 9... at least, what ''appears'' to be Aria. |
| 429 | * TomboyishVoice: She has a raspy voice to go along with her masculine manner of speech and behavior. |
| 430 | * TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Her bed scene with Seiya reveals that for all her masculine traits, she sports toenail polish, the classical girly coral color for good measure. |
| 431 | * TooKinkyToTorture: After utilizing her LimitBreak attack that was also CastFromLifespan to defeat Crossed Thanatos, Valkyrie starts spurting blood all over her body. Rista is more creeped out that Valkyrie mentioned she could get used to this pain, than the fact that she was spraying blood all over the place. |
| 432 | * WorldsStrongestWoman: She's the strongest deity in terms of combat. |

| 440 | The Goddess of War. |
| 441 | ---- |
| 442 | * AffectionateGestureToTheHead: Headpats are all it takes [[spoiler:for Seiya to calm Adenela back when she was just going berserk earlier]]. |
| 443 | * AllAmazonsWantHercules: According to the third manga volume's short story, she took interest in Seiya after hearing rumors that he defeated Cerceus. |

| 445 | * BattleAura: Her body is engulfed with a dark-red burning aura when [[spoiler:she is about to kill Seiya for rejecting her]]. |
| 446 | * BeautifulAllAlong: After she falls head over heels for Seiya, she briefly drops the dark and gloomy look to appear more attractive to him. All it takes is brushing her hair and wearing a dress that isn't coming apart at the seams for her to look stunning. |
| 447 | * BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:She saves Seiya and Rista when they're about to be killed by a werewolf that invaded the Divine Realm.]] |
| 448 | * CreepyBasement: Her room is themed after one; it's dimly lit by a skull-shaped lamp giving off a sallow green light. |
| 449 | * CreepyGood: Messy hair, lives in the dark, creepy smile and keeps laughing at random times, but she is still a heroic goddess. |
| 450 | * CreepyLonerGirl: She's a dark, isolated and gloomy girl with messy hair and ragged black clothes. She spends most of her time locked inside her room that looks like a CreepyBasement. |
| 451 | * CreepyShadowedUndereyes: Her eyelids have a darker pigmentation underneath. |
| 452 | * CrushBlush: Evident after her first training session with Seiya. Everytime she or others mention his name, she blushes and gets a far-off look in her eyes. |
| 453 | * ExpressiveHair: The curls in her hair twist into hearts when she forgives Seiya, and do so again to a lesser extent when she sees Seiya again when he's running away from Crossed Thanatos. |
| 454 | * FlashStep: She can move short distances in the blink of an eye, as demonstrated when the protagonists first met her. Only Seiya is able to track her movements. |
| 455 | * TheGlomp: Throws herself to Seiya and hugs him just before his group is about to leave. |
| 456 | * LaughingMad: She tends to randomly giggle while speaking. She drops it in lovey-dovey mode though. |
| 457 | * LegacyCharacter: [[spoiler:During the Ixphoria arc, it's revealed that she's actually the second Goddess of War. The previous goddess, Zet, was imprisoned within a well after she attempted to rebel against the Divine Realm.]] |
| 458 | * LooksLikeCesare: Much more attractive than the usual example, but otherwise hits all the hallmarks. |
| 459 | * MasterSwordswoman: She's better at swordplay and martial arts in general than Cerceus, to the point of knowing a sword skill that unleashes near-simultaneous slashes in multiple directions. |
| 460 | * MessyHair: Typically, her hair is matted and disheveled, with two strands even resembling horns, but she fixes it up (along with the rest of her appearance) after gaining feelings for Seiya. |
| 461 | * NightmareFace: Likes to pull these off in her WomanScorned mode. Variants include the GhostlyGape, GlowingEyesOfDoom, and the SlasherSmile. |
| 462 | * PetTheDog: [[spoiler:She tries to console Rista after Seiya sacrifices himself to kill Gaeabrande's Demon Lord.]] |
| 463 | * RoomFullOfCrazy: Her room is filled with the word "kill" after Seiya rejected her and her cake. |
| 464 | * SexyMentor: She's one of the deities whom Seiya trained with in order to learn a new ability and she develops a big crush on him after only three training sessions. She doesn't fit into the "sexy" part because of her unflattering way of dressing at first, but she tries to make herself prettier for Seiya only for him to reject her. |
| 465 | * SheCleansUpNicely: She normally looks {{unkempt|Beauty}} until she decides to brush her hair and wear proper clothes to look good in front of Seiya. It doesn't last long, though. |
| 466 | * ShiftingVoiceOfMadness: Her voice is normally quite deep and breathy, but it'll switch to a squeaky high once she's in lovey-dovey mode. |
| 467 | * SimultaneousBladeSpam: Her signature Eternal Sword technique, which requires abnormal limb rotation beyond a normal human's ability. |
| 468 | * SpeechImpediment: She stutters a lot. |
| 469 | * TearsOfBlood: PlayedForLaughs when she cries blood after being rejected by Seiya. |
| 470 | * ThinksLikeARomanceNovel: According to the short story at the end of the third manga volume, she reads a romance comic about a swordsman falling in love, which explains her affection for Seiya. |
| 471 | * ThroughHisStomach: She bakes a cake for Seiya as a sign of affection, only for Seiya to call it gross without even trying it. |
| 472 | * TokenMiniMoe: She's short and flat-chested, unlike the other tall, busty goddesses in the Divine Realm. |
| 473 | * WarGoddess: Her title is "goddess of war", which, in her case, appears to mean melee combat with swords. |
| 474 | * WomanScorned: Subverted. When Seiya rejects her, she vents her anger on a nearby statue. The next time they meet, she's about to attack him with her sword, but he caresses her hair, causing her to instantly forgive him. Aria also claims that Adenela doesn't really have it in her to kill Seiya. |
| 475 | * TheWorfEffect: She's unable to damage Crossed Thanatos, who is immune to most attacks. You know Crossed Thanatos is the real deal when the "Goddess of War" can't hurt them. |

| 482 | * BreakTheHaughty: She becomes depressed when Seiya masters shape-shifting quickly, including her ultimate technique: the ability to make other people transform. |
| 483 | * JerkassGods: She looks down on Rista for being a novice goddess and laughs at her when she trains to impersonate a fish beastkin. That said, she does eventually praise Rista for mastering the role, albeit in a backhanded way. |
| 484 | * MundaneUtility: She transforms into a cyclops in order to reach the upper part of a bookshelf. |
| 485 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: She tells Seiya not to underestimate the time needed to master shape-shifting, only to be surprised when he masters it in mere hours. |
| 486 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: She can change her form to that of other beings, but only those she has seen before. This shape-shifting also doesn't affect the user's status and abilities. |

| 493 | * AdaptationDeviation: Boros is a replacement for Mariya from the web novel version, [[spoiler:who is a trans woman with the same role of teaching Seiya earth magic. Other than their mentor role, their motivations and personalities are different]]. |
| 494 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: [[spoiler:When Seiya discovers his hair growth, Boros tries to trap Seiya and Rista in his garden to keep his secret from leaking out. After his defeat, Boros decides to stop hiding his hair growth and accent. He's also thankful towards Seiya for lifting the burden of hiding this secret off his shoulders.]] |
| 495 | * DishingOutDirt: He specializes in earth magic, has maximum earth resistance, and can create golems. |
| 496 | * PrettyBoy: Rista considers him handsome and dapper [[spoiler:but he drops this trope after his defeat, since he allows his hair to grow out.]] |

| 503 | * ConArtist: Downplayed. While she does overcharge for her lessons and divine artifacts, their effect on Rista is real, as indicated by Aria sensing more divine power from the novice goddess. |
| 504 | * {{Greed}}: She is obsessed with accumulating material wealth and charges ridiculous amounts of Goddon to teach Rista anti-curse techniques. |
| 505 | * LightIsGood: Her anti-curse abilities are considered light attribute and she's one of the deities of the Divine Realm. However, she's [[GoodIsNotNice not exactly an upstanding deity]], since she's greedy and charges Rista 29000 Goddons for her lessons. |

| 514 | |
| 515 | The Goddess of the Bow. |
| 516 | ---- |
| 517 | * AdaptationalVillainy: In the web novel, [[spoiler:she was exiled for "sexually eating" one of the heroes she summoned.]] In the Yen Press light novel translation, [[spoiler:she kidnapped and [[SerialRapist raped multiple heroes]].]] |
| 518 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: For most of the days Seiya trains with her at the forest, Mitis behaves like a polite and kind goddess. It's until the last day that she reveals herself as a sex-crazed goddess who will try to have her way with any man she encounters. |
| 519 | * BlackComedyRape: [[spoiler:Her sexual harassment on Seiya and AttemptedRape on Mash are played for BlackComedy.]] |
| 520 | * BrickJoke: She moves on all fours and crawls like a spider just as she [[spoiler:reveals her horny side]] in the forest. By the end of the Gaeabrande arc, Mitis sneaked to the central area of the Divine Realm, but once Aria ordered her to go back to the forest, she crawls like a spider again on the way out. |
| 521 | * CoolCrown: She wears a circlet. |
| 522 | * DirtyOldWoman: [[spoiler:A nymphomaniac goddess who has a fetish for mortals who she's naturally hundreds of years older than at least. When she can't get her hands on Seiya, she then targets Mash saying that she's "perfectly fine with a shota."]] |
| 523 | * DoubleEntendre: Sexual innuendos go along with her [[spoiler:perverted and masochistic trait]]: |
| 524 | -->'''Mitis:''' I'm being pierced by something thick and long! |
| 525 | -->'''Elulu:''' [[LampshadeHanging What is Mitis-sama saying!?]] |
| 526 | * EroticEating: After she witnessed [[spoiler:Seiya calming down an enraged Adenela]], Mitis sensually licks an apple before biting it. |
| 527 | * {{Foil}}: To Adenela: |
| 528 | ** Adenela likes to dress messily with dark clothes, and her hair is a messy purple. Mitis is immaculately dressed in a white dress with straight white hair. |
| 529 | ** Adenela is a MasterSwordswoman, while Mitis is a master of the bow. |
| 530 | ** Adenela appears creepy and unhinged, but is actually quite nice. Mitis appears prim and proper, but is actually [[spoiler:an unhinged nymphomaniac.]] |
| 531 | ** Both Adenela and Mitis gain feelings towards Seiya. [[spoiler:Adenela harbors love, albeit unrealistic and despite being rejected, can't bring herself to harm him. Mitis only feels lust and has no problem raping him for her own pleasure.]] |
| 532 | * GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: She wears a white chiton with gold accessories, giving her the more traditional appearance of a Greek goddess compared to the other gods in the Divine Realm. |
| 533 | * ImprobableAimingSkills: She shoots all three of Seiya's firebirds with one arrow. |
| 534 | * InterplayOfSexAndViolence: [[spoiler:She orgasms when Seiya manages to pin her to a tree with five consecutive arrows. Rista had to quickly transport Mash and Elulu to Gaeabrande to prevent them from seeing.]] |
| 535 | * ALighterShadeOfBlack: Of the known exiled gods, Mitis' crime is actually the least evil. [[spoiler:Whereas Mersais and Zet tried to rebel against the Divine Realm itself, Mitis "sexually devoured" a summoned hero. Fittingly, while Mersais was banished all together and Zet was sealed away, Mitis was just forced to live in the forest until she learns her lesson.]] |
| 536 | * LovableSexManiac: Averted due to the consequences. [[spoiler:Aria states that she's a horny goddess who sexually "ate" a hero she summoned. Since relationships between deities and humans are forbidden, Ishtar exiled her to a forest in the Divine Realm. Aria implies the humans in the relationships would be punished too, which is bad for the imperiled worlds if their heroes are involved in these relationships.]] |
| 537 | * MasterArcher: She's the Goddess of Archery, so she obviously has superhuman accuracy when it comes to aiming. |
| 538 | * MysticalWhiteHair: She's a goddess with pure white hair. |
| 539 | * NightmareFace: In the anime, [[spoiler:she gains red sclera and pointy teeth when she reveals her true horny colors]]. |
| 540 | * SacredBowAndArrows: She's an archery goddess, so it's natural that she uses a bow and magic arrows. |
| 541 | * SexyMentor: She teaches Seiya some archery abilities. Her last "test" for him is to shoot at the ropes wrapped around her naked body so they can have sex after he passes. [[CelibateHero He turns down the sex and pins the nude Mitis to a tree instead.]] |
| 542 | * SituationalSexuality: [[spoiler:She's spent so long without any sexual contact that she's considering sleeping with women just to sate her urges. She started out wanting to assault Seiya, but in the Ixphoria arc, she tries to sexually assault Rista, but backs off when the latter uses anti-curse magic to make her go bald.]] |
| 543 | * TokenEvilTeammate: She's one of the deities who mentors Seiya, but she turns out not to be as benevolent as she first appears. [[spoiler:Despite being exiled for starting a relationship with a hero, she never learned her lesson at all, and planned to rape Seiya (and later Mash) at the end of their training. Fortunately, Seiya prevents this with his newfound archery skills, but this event does show why even the kind and understanding Aria considers Mitis to be a terrible goddess. Even then though, she still shows up to comfort Rista when everyone thinks Seiya is dead.]] The token part is subverted when the Ixphoria arc introduces a second Goddess of War, Zet, who was exiled into a well for rebelling against the other gods. |
| 544 | * VerbalTic: She almost always ends her sentences in "-de gozaimasu." |
| 545 | * WhiteHairBlackHeart: A {{downplayed|Trope}} case. Her appearance reminds of purity, particularly because of her white hair. When she reveals her true colors, she's the most perverse goddess in the Divine Realm. Outside of her habit of "sexually eating" heroes, she's surprisingly not that bad. It's just when it comes ''to'' said heroes, she has no self-control whatsoever. |

| 554 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She seems to care for her masked subordinate, [[spoiler:the Divine Hero]], and is worried that they're pushing themselves too much with Berserk: Phase 4. She destroyed several worlds to gain the power to both oppose the Divine Realm and to revive her minion. |
| 555 | * FallenAngel: She once lived in the Divine Realm, but eventually came to rebel against it. |

He's still very skilled compared to most heroes, since he mastered all destruction techniques except for Gate of Valhalla. He's also a soldier back on Earth, which means he has a lot of combat experience. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, this isn't enough to beat Mersais's heroine, who mastered the Berserk technique.]] |

She notes that in a world where all enemies have Chain Destruction, sending Rista there without her powers is a death sentence. [[spoiler:This turns out to be true, since the party would have lost to the third emperor without Rista's powers.]] She also gives Rista the last known snapshot of Ultimaeus's status. |

| 664 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KengoKawanishi (Japanese), Chris Thurman (English) |
| 665 | A young dragonkin warrior, who becomes one of Seiya's inventory carriers. |
| 666 | ---- |
| 667 | * AntiMagic: In Warped Gaeabrande, [[spoiler:Igzasion allows him to cancel certain enemy abilities, preventing Seiya's party from simply slitting his throat while they're invisible.]] |
| 668 | * AxCrazy: In Warped Gaeabrande, [[spoiler:he becomes a sadistic tyrant who believes torturing and killing non-dragonewts will make Elulu's ghost happy.]] |
| 669 | * BadassesWearBandanas: He keeps his hair out of his face with his bandana and hopes to be a great warrior. Unfortunately, he is almost a complete newbie whose skills and stats are dwarfed by Seiya, who is too cautious to even give him the opportunity to level grind outside of a safe place. But once he does get the chance to grow, this is played increasingly straighter, even though Seiya is still the one doing most of the heavy lifting. |
| 670 | * BreakTheBadass: Combined with BreakTheHaughty due to his initial overconfidence in trying to fight Deathmagla. After being tortured by Deathmagla, Mash is traumatized to the point where he can't fight. Fortunately, witnessing Seiya defeat Deathmagla reignites his fighting spirit. |
| 671 | * ButtMonkey: Poor Mash starts his adventure looking to become a legendary warrior who helps the hero defeat the Demon Lord, only to get reduced to a HumanPackMule. After his youthful impulsiveness and cockiness is shattered by ColdBloodedTorture, he gets to train in the Divine Realm to level grind, but still can't hold a candle to Seiya. Elulu even uses him as a guinea pig to show off her new support magic, while his new powerups are treated as weird and creepy. ''Then'' he's almost subject to BlackComedyRape by [[spoiler:Mitis]]. By the end of his adventure, his only real contributions against the overpowered Demon Lord and his generals is holding onto Seiya's stuff for him and piling up enemy bodies for Seiya to torch. Although he's still frustrated by this, he takes it in stride this time and tries to use this menial labor as a learning experience. |
| 672 | * DeathEqualsRedemption: [[spoiler:His warped version gives Igzasion to Seiya so that the latter can kill him and return the world to normal.]] |
| 673 | * DefiantToTheEnd: When Deathmagla cuts the cloth binding Mash's mouth shut, he expected Mash to beg for his life. Instead Mash realizes just how insanely powerful Seiya was, and encourages him to save the world in his place. Deathmagla isn't too pleased about that, though he doesn't get much time to actually kill Mash as Seiya immediately jumps into action to save him. |
| 674 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: When Deathmagla captures him and is about to kill him, Mash asks Seiya to save the world in his place. Fortunately, Seiya turns out to have a skill that can cut through the fabric of space, allowing him to save Mash despite being in a different location. |
| 675 | * FashionableAsymmetry: He only wears shoulder armor on his left arm and his sash is tied to the left. |
| 676 | * HarmfulToMinors: |
| 677 | ** Deathmagla subjects Mash to ColdBloodedTorture as retribution for Seiya decimating the undead army. He's so traumatized that he initially can't bring himself to fight again until Seiya's victory over Deathmagla inspires him. |
| 678 | ** When [[spoiler:Mitis tries to rape him and Seiya]], Ristarte desperately tries to shield Mash and Elulu's eyes from the sight of [[spoiler:Mitis' naked form]] to no avail. |
| 679 | * HellishPupils: He develops these while using his Dragonnewt transformation. |
| 680 | * HeroesPreferSwords: Mash carries a sword at his hip. Unfortunately, it doesn't see much use due to [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill Seiya's preferred method of dealing with the enemy]]. |
| 681 | * HeroWorshipper: He's initially hostile to Seiya due to the latter rejecting the dragonkin duo as companions. After Seiya saves him and invites him to carry his bags, Mash does a 180 and becomes one of Seiya's most loyal followers. He also adopts Seiya's cautious methodology in order to emulate him. |
| 682 | * HotBlooded: Mash is enthusiastic about being a warrior destined to help fight the demon lord. Unfortunately, Seiya is too cautious to let him take part in the fighting and reduces him to a HumanPackMule, which frustrates Mash until he runs away to fight Deathmagla, getting himself captured and tortured in the process. After that, Mash cools off considerably, but he's still passionate about protecting the people he cares about. |
| 683 | * ImagineSpot: Mash has some lewd visual thoughts when [[spoiler:a naked Mitis is about to pounce on him]]. |
| 684 | * MagicallyIneptFighter: He has a magic stat of 0 and it stays that way even as he continues to power up. |
| 685 | * MeetTheNewBoss: [[spoiler:In the world of Warped Gaeabrande where Seiya and Rista never showed up to save it, Mash became the hero, sacrificed Elulu to obtain Igzasion, slayed Xenosload, then proceeded to replace him as the Dragon Lord, oppressing all other races besides his fellow dragonkind.]] |
| 686 | * MusclesAreMeaningful: He's not especially tall or muscular, especially when compared to [[{{Hunk}} Seiya]], and it shows in how his stats are much lower than his. His muscles grow when transforming into a Dragonnewt, multiplying his stats by a factor of ten, [[spoiler:and even larger than that when he uses his Dragon God Metamorphosis]]. |
| 687 | * MundaneUtility: He gains the ability to transform into a Dragonewt [[spoiler:and later into a huge dragon]]. Seiya remarks that this means he can carry more stuff. |
| 688 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: Despite his power ups throughout the journey, he's still far weaker than the higher tier threats in the demon army. Though his stats are surprisingly high for his level, as shown by how his level 21 stats are about a third of Seiya's level 99 stats and mostly surpasses Seiya's level 51 stats, which suggests Mash could become stronger than Seiya with enough leveling. |
| 689 | * PainfulTransformation: Downplayed. He grunts in pain and discomfort upon transforming into a Dragonewt for the first time, but the process goes smoothly and he never complains about pain when transforming again. |
| 690 | * PassingTheTorch: [[spoiler:Seiya's last words to him is telling him that with the Demon Lord and Four Heavenly Kings dead, Mash is now the strongest being on Gaeabrande thus it's his responsibility to protect it. In Mash's last meeting with Rista, he makes it clear he plans on protecting the world that Seiya saved.]] |
| 691 | * PowerLevels: |
| 692 | ** LV:8, HP:476, MP:0, ATK:206, DEF:184, SPD:101, MAG:0, GRW:28. When he first meets Seiya. |
| 693 | ** LV:16, HP:1,381, MP 0, ATK:921, DEF:877 ,SPD:790 MAG:0, GRW:47. After training with Cerceus. |
| 694 | ** [[spoiler:LV:21, HP:139,544, MP:0, ATK:91,578, DEF:83,333, SPD:61,496, MAG:0 GRW:67. In Dragon God Metamorphosis form at the end of the Gaeabrande arc.]] |
| 695 | * PowerUpgradingDeformation: Mash's Dragonnewt form increases his overall abilities ten times over, but makes him scaly and lizard-like {{Weredragon}} during use. Rista and Elulu call this "creepy", while Seiya warns him to stay away while using it, since he might mistake him for a monster in the heat of combat and kill him by accident. |
| 696 | * TearsOfFear: Sheds these with a side of InelegantBlubbering while fleeing for his life from [[spoiler:the nymphomaniac Mitis]]. |
| 697 | * TheToothHurts: Deathmagla rips out one of Mash's teeth during his ColdBloodedTorture. It's restored thanks to Rista's healing. |
| 698 | * TimeToUnlockMoreTruePotential: The Mother of Dragons unlocks his ability to take on a Dragonewt form, multiplying his stats ten-fold. She also states that he has the potential to unlock a Dragon God Metamorphosis, becoming even more powerful. [[spoiler:Aria helps him unlock this, though he's only able to transform a few limbs at a time by the time Seiya kills the Demon Lord.]] |
| 699 | * TookALevelInBadass: After training with Cerceus [[spoiler:and unlocking his dragon form]], he ends up becoming one of the strongest beings in Gaeabrande. [[spoiler:By the time Seiya defeats the Demon Lord, Mash's raw stats with his Dragon God Metamorphosis dwarf Chaos Machina's and Dark Firus' even though he has 78 levels to go, implying that he could one day become stronger than Seiya.]] |
| 700 | * UnskilledButStrong: The Warped version of him is this compared to his original version. [[spoiler:While he has the power of Igzasion and the Dragon Emperor form, he was never trained by Seiya and Cerceus. As a result, his swordplay is rather basic and he doesn't bother using careful tactics.]] |
| 701 | * {{Weredragon}}: Thanks to his dragonkin nature, Mash can transform into a dragonewt which multiplies his attack, defense, and speed by ten times[[spoiler:, and later gets upgraded into a full dragon form with Dragon God Metamorphosis]]. |
| 702 | * WorldsBestWarrior: [[spoiler:At the end of the Gaeabrande arc with the Demon Lord, the four Heavenly Kings and Seiya all dead, Mash is the strongest being on Gaeabrande. In the Warped Gaeabrande arc, he becomes even stronger due to wielding Igzasion, which increases his stats on top of giving him new abilities. This allows him to easily defeat enemies like Crossed Thanatos, Emperor Roseguard, and Xenosload.]] |
| 703 | * WoundThatWillNotHeal: In the Warped Gaeabrande arc, [[spoiler:his Igzasion sword causes any wounds he inflicts to be permanent.]] |
| 704 | * {{Yandere}}: In Warped Gaeabrande, [[spoiler:Marionelda disguises herself as Elulu's ghost in order to traumatize Mash and make him believe that committing genocide is the only way to ease Elulu's suffering.]] |

| 710 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AoiKoga (Japanese), Creator/SarahWiedenheft (English) |
| 711 | A young dragonkin mage, who also becomes one of Seiya's inventory carriers. |
| 712 | ---- |
| 713 | * BareMidriffsAreFeminine: Her short shirt exposes her midriff. |
| 714 | * DrowningMySorrows: A PG-version. Elulu is flabbergasted when Seiya masters her one and only offensive spell, Fire Arrow, nigh-instantly even though it's incredibly difficult for her to use. She's so frustrated that she starts wolfing down candy to cope. |
| 715 | * HeroicBSOD: PlayedForLaughs when she briefly becomes depressed after Seiya [[InstantExpert quickly learned]] the fire bow skill that Elulu thought was difficult and complex. She spends the next few scenes wanting to do nothing else but eat sweets. |
| 716 | * HesitantSacrifice: [[spoiler:The Dragon Mother intended for her to be sacrificed to create the sword, Igzasion. Elulu goes along with it, but admits she still wants to live and continue traveling with the party. Fortunately, Seiya prevents her sacrifice, though he makes sure not to tell her or Mash that he failed to obtain the sword, otherwise they'd feel guilty.]] |
| 717 | * ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: She's destined to [[spoiler:become Igzasion, the sword that will kill the Demon Lord, at the cost of her own life. She initially tries to justify it by noting all the lives that would be saved with the Demon Lord's defeat, but ultimately she admits that she doesn't want to die.]] |
| 718 | * TheLoad: She initially thinks of herself as useless because she couldn't improve in fire magic, but this is subverted when she learns how to cast support magic, which Seiya notes allowed him to barely win against [[spoiler:Emperor Roseguard]]. |
| 719 | * NiceGirl: She's the most kindhearted member of the Gaeabrande party. Even when she's upset that Seiya rejected her and Mash, she doesn't direct hostility towards him like Mash. |
| 720 | * PinkIsFeminine: Her clothes are predominantly pink and she's very girly and demure. |
| 721 | * PlayingWithFire: She originally tried mastering fire magic, but Hestiaca reveals she didn't have much talent for it. |
| 722 | * PosthumousCharacter: [[spoiler:In Warped Gaeabrande, no one shows up to save her so she's turned into Igzasion. The dragonkind still worship her as a holy figure, the Seraph.]] |
| 723 | * PowerLevels: |
| 724 | ** LV:7, HP:355, MP:195, ATK:98, DEF:160, SPD:76, MAG:189, GRW:36. When she first meets Seiya. |
| 725 | ** LV:8, HP:384, MP:220, ATK:101, DEF:172, SPD:88, MAG:196, GRW:38. After training with Hestiaca. |
| 726 | * SpiritAdvisor: In the Warped Gaeabrande arc, [[spoiler:her ghost seems to be an evil version of this for Mash, encouraging him to commit genocide on non-dragonewts. However, that ghost is actually Marionelda in disguise. The real Elulu shows up in Rista's dreams to warn her that killing Mash won't be enough to restore the warped world to normal.]] |
| 727 | * SupportPartyMember: She turns out to be talented in auxiliary magic, and can cast spells to [[TimeMaster slow or hasten]] targets. |
| 728 | * TargetedHumanSacrifice: [[spoiler:Elulu was chosen to sacrifice her life in a ritual at the Dragon Village to create the mighty sword Igzasion, which the prophecy says is the only weapon that can kill the Demon Lord. Elulu was going to resign to her fate, but Seiya ends up saving her and tricks everyone into thinking the ritual worked when he killed the Dragon Mother.]] |
| 729 | * TimeMaster: After being taken to the Divine Realm to train, Elulu learns the support magic spells "Delay" and "Haste", which allow her to drastically slow down or speed up someone, respectively. Using Delay on Mash as a demonstration has him moving like molasses while struggling to give a coherent sentence out, while Haste speeds him up to the point of becoming a high-pitched MotorMouth who stumbles over things because he can't control how fast he's moving. |
| 730 | * TokenMiniMoe: She's the cute young girl in Seiya's party at Gaeabrande. |

| 737 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MasakoKatsuki (Japanese), Brigette Marquardt (English) |
| 738 | The leader of the dragonewts. |
| 739 | ---- |
| 740 | * CrazyPrepared: [[spoiler:She already expected the party to oppose Elulu's sacrifice, so she had her citizens lace the party's food with paralytics and gave Elulu a Death Sentence Necklace that will kill her within a time limit. Seiya states she wasn't cautious enough and that she should have activated her Ultimate Wall during the banquet to prevent any opportunity for Seiya to damage her wings.]] |
| 741 | * DeathByIrony: [[spoiler:She dies the same way she intended to kill Elulu: falling into the pit and getting turned into a sword.]] |
| 742 | * DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:Seiya defeats her by making her fall into the same abyss she was going to use to sacrifice Elulu. He also damaged her wings before that to ensure she can't fly out.]] |
| 743 | * {{Foil}}: She shares Seiya's belief that being cautious is necessary to save the world. [[spoiler:Unlike Seiya, who is willing to compromise on caution in order to save his friends, she's willing to sacrifice an innocent girl to ensure victory.]] |
| 744 | * LightIsNotGood: In Warped Gaeabrande, [[spoiler:she uses light magic to make quick work of the demons.]] |
| 745 | * MotiveDecay: |
| 746 | ** Despite wanting to create Igzasion for Seiya to use, [[spoiler:she becomes so enraged at his opposition to her plans that she tries to kill him with her fire breath attack, despite how doing so would leave no one capable of using Igzasion to kill the Demon Lord.]] |
| 747 | ** In Warped Gaeabrande, [[spoiler:she goes from wanting to save the world from the demons through any means necessary to committing genocide on non-dragonewts because she thinks this is what the dragonewts' deity wants.]] |
| 748 | * NamedByTheAdaptation: The anime names her Leviae, despite how the web and light novels don't give her a name even in her status window. |
| 749 | * OneWingedAngel: She normally appears as a normal-sized dragonewt, but can transform into a massive dragon. |
| 750 | * PowerLevels: LV:66, HP:563,290, MP:5,533, ATK:43,898, DEF:38,881, SPD:5,679, MAG:10,209, GRW:721. In Dragon God Metamorphosis form. |
| 751 | * RedemptionRejection: [[spoiler:Seiya offers her to surrender because she's not part of the demon army, but she refuses and continues with her plan to sacrifice Elulu.]] |
| 752 | * RingOutBoss: [[spoiler:How she meets her end. She's invincible while using Ultimate Wall, but not ''unmovable''. This proves to be fatal as Seiya is pushing her towards a pit that will kill her should she fall in.]] |
| 753 | * SlippingAMickey: She throws a great feast for the heroes while preparing Elulu for her planned sacrifice, with some children handing them cookies they baked. Later, when they start having doubts about wanting to lose Elulu, both Mash and Rista fall to the ground, unable to move due to their tampered drink and cookies from earlier. Seiya is unaffected because he never drank any of that same drink, and reveals that he threw up the cookies shortly after eating them. |
| 754 | * StoneWall: Her strategy is to tank Seiya's attacks using her damage resistance passives and Ultimate Wall skill until [[spoiler:Elulu dies from the Death Sentence Necklace]], since she's no match for him in offense or speed. Her resilience is made more impressive by the revelation that [[spoiler:Seiya is already at the level cap]]. This is lampshaded by Seiya, who compares her to a Nurikabe, a wall-like yōkai. |
| 755 | * VillainHasAPoint: Her insistence on creating Igzasion makes sense when the Demon Lord turns out to be able to tank all of Seiya's weapons [[spoiler:other than Valhalla Blade]]. |
| 756 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Her status screen describes her as [[KnightTemplar self-righteous]] and she'll do anything to ensure the fall of the Demon Lord. [[spoiler:Her plan is for Elulu to absorb energy from the human world and eventually sacrifice her to make Igzasion. She also executed Elulu and Mash's families for opposing this plan.]] |

| 763 | The dragonewt guarding the entrance to the Dragon Village. |
| 764 | ---- |
| 765 | * NiceGuy: Despite Seiya making him teleport a small lizard out of paranoia, Lagos takes it well and compliments the hero for his caution. [[spoiler:He's also thankful that the party saved Elulu from being sacrificed and he only warns the party to leave because many other dragonewts are angry at Seiya for killing their leader.]] |
| 766 | * TokenGoodTeammate: [[spoiler:He's one of the few dragonewts who disagreed with sacrificing Elulu, though he couldn't voice his opinion because the others would execute him for it. This also applies in the Warped Gaeabrande arc, where he's the only named dragonewt to oppose Mash's genocide against humanity.]] |
| 767 | * TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: In the Warped Gaeabrande arc, [[spoiler:Mash and the other dragonewts torture and fatally wound him. Despite that, Lagos uses his last moments to pray for the gods to forgive Mash and for peace to return between the dragonewts and humans.]] |

| 776 | ---- |
| 777 | * AlliterativeName: '''Ros'''alie '''Ros'''eguard. |
| 778 | * AnimalMotifs: Seiya and Mash compare her to an angry barking dog due to the way she grinds her teeth and growls at Seiya when they disagree on something. Even her teeth resemble a dog's when she's huffy like this. |
| 779 | * TheAtoner: Deconstructed in the Warped Gaeabrande arc. [[spoiler:[[MyGodWhatHaveIDone She's so horrified]] by how she played into the demons' hands and sacrificed her own people for nothing, she's willing to die as Seiya's meatshield.]] |
| 780 | * BitchSlap: This is what she tries to do to Seiya after he insults her. Instead, he blocks her and slaps her right back. And she tries to do this several times until her face is swollen. |
| 781 | * BreakTheHaughty: She gets slapped by Seiya, nearly killed by Beel Bub, [[spoiler:and witnesses her father falling to villainy]]. By the end of the Gaeabrande arc, she's become much more levelheaded. |
| 782 | * BrickJoke: Every time Seiya calls Rosalie a dog, her mouth does turn like a dog's soon after, including the fangs! The name-calling happens twice, first after [[BitchSlap slapping some sense into her]], and after he [[spoiler:rescued her from Beel Bub]]. After Eraser Kaiser is defeated, he does subtly piss off Rosalie without calling her a dog, but she's still drawn with fangs when angered. |
| 783 | * ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike: After Seiya saves her from Beel Bub, she calls him a coward for using sniping and trickery to win rather than direct combat. |
| 784 | * DueToTheDead: She is first introduced praying in the FieldOfBlades where her comrades recently died. |
| 785 | * EyepatchOfPower: In the Warped Gaeabrande arc, she wears an eyepatch over her right eye. |
| 786 | * {{Foil}}: Seiya's cautiousness is in contrast to Rosalie's recklessness. |
| 787 | * GeneralFailure: Seiya lays the blame of her soldiers' death at her feet, claiming it was her recklessness that killed them all. |
| 788 | * HeroWorshipper: She idolizes her father as the strongest man in Gaeabrande and the paragon of heroism and chivalry. |
| 789 | * HonorBeforeReason: She believes a true hero will play fair and straightfoward, causing her to rush in recklessly. Too bad literally no one else in Gaeabrande thinks the same way she does. |
| 790 | * JerkassHasAPoint: Combined with HypocriteHasAPoint. She claims that the gods, who live safely due to their immortality and godly realm, wouldn't be able to fully comprehend the perils that mortals face. There is some truth to her words, since the gods prioritize following their rules despite that getting in the way of saving the world. Rista also didn't fully understand the weight of saving the world at the beginning of the story. Seiya admits she has a point, but tells her that she doesn't have much room to talk about respecting life after she recklessly marched her troops into battle with the insect army, causing many to be needlessly killed. |
| 791 | * LeeroyJenkins: Her strategy to defeat Beel Bub's insect army is to invade their hive, despite their overwhelming speed and aerial advantage against humans. Seiya points out that this approach is the reason why so many of her forces were already killed by the insects. |
| 792 | * LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Rosalie has a Light Protection skill that grants a barrier around her to protect while she's climbing up the demon flies' nest. It's not of any use against Beel Bub. |
| 793 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: [[spoiler:When the party sees a vision of Seiya's past, they muse that he used to be just as reckless as Rosalie. This may explain why Seiya chafes with her more than his other detractors.]] |
| 794 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: Her stats are numerically superior to Chaos Machina's true form's, which is pretty impressive for a mere human at level 23 and suggests she will match her father and Seiya once she's gotten stronger. Unfortunately, they're all four digits at the point in the story when everyone is boasting stats of five or six digits. |

| 801 | * SheWhoFightsMonsters: In the Warped Gaeabrande arc, [[spoiler:she becomes so desperate to defeat the Dragonewts that she's willing to side with the demons and sacrifice humans to unseal Lucifer Crowe. This makes her not so different from the Dragon Mother, who also believed in sacrificing innocents to defeat an unbeatable foe.]] |

[[spoiler:They create a contract where they aren't allowed to kill humans while designating Rosalie as the only one who can destroy the contract.

| 825 | * FallenHero: He's Gaeabrande's top native warrior and the ruler of the Roseguard Empire, one of the main lines of defense against the Demon Lord. [[spoiler:Which makes it all the more shocking that he joined the demons.]] |
| 826 | * FeelingTheirAge: As an 80-year-old man, he's not as strong as he used to be, something he's frustrated about. [[spoiler:It's part of the reason he sold out to the Demon Lord.]] |
| 827 | * FountainOfYouth: He periodically turns into a baby for no reason. Rosalie says it might be an effect of a curse placed on him by the Demon Lord. [[spoiler:It represents the pettiness of his nature, making a DealWithTheDevil out of jealousy towards the Hero, and the fact that he came to see the Demon Lord as his father, though what caused these personality traits to crystallize as a literal transformation into a baby is left unclear.]] |
| 828 | * GreenEyedMonster: [[spoiler:Besides his grief over his aging body, his second reason for joining the Demon Lord is because he's jealous that Seiya gets to be the hero who fights the Demon Lord while he's relegated to support at best.]] |
| 829 | * KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler:Once he is revealed as a villain. His fight with Seiya is played completely seriously. Right after he appears, we get TheReveal about Seiya's past.]] |
| 830 | * LightEmUp: Uses primarly light based attacks. [[spoiler:He switches to CastingAShadow versions after he turns into a demon.]] |
| 831 | * LongHairedPrettyBoy: What he looks like after taking a substance that [[spoiler:turned him into a demonkin, something that resembles an adult man in his prime]]. |
| 832 | * MajorInjuryUnderreaction: [[spoiler:After he and Seiya take off each others' arms, he's more worried about losing his sword than bleeding out.]] |
| 833 | * MasterSwordsman: [[spoiler:During his battle with Seiya, he overwhelms the latter in swordplay and only loses because Seiya reflected damage onto his arm via a destruction technique. Notably, Seiya is already buffed to be much faster than Wohlks, had taken off his training weights to double his speed on top of that, and was taught swordplay by the gods, but still lost in a straight fight.]] |

| 837 | * PowerUpFood: A substance given [[spoiler:by the Demon Lord allowed Wohlks to turn into a demonkin, boosting his stats, while giving him the physique of an adult man]]. |
| 838 | * RankScalesWithAsskicking: He is the emperor of Roseguard as well as its best warrior. |
| 839 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:His eye color changes from blue to red after he becomes a demon.]] |
| 840 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: He thinks Seiya, being from a more peaceful world, has lower pain tolerance and would fold as soon as he receives a major injury. [[spoiler:He's proven wrong when Seiya continues fighting despite losing an arm.]] |
| 841 | * VillainousValor: [[spoiler:Even after becoming a demon, his status still lists his personality as "valiant," which is shown by how he doesn't falter in his battle with Seiya despite losing his arm and his weapon.]] |
| 842 | * WalkingSpoiler: Even before highlighting the spoilers, just reading the names of the tropes involved with him will let you know something's fishy about him. [[spoiler:Sure enough, he's joined the Demon Lord for eternal youth and vengeance against the hero he perceives as having taken his place.]] |
| 843 | * WeaponOfXSlaying: He wields the [[spoiler:God Eater, a weapon based on the Demon Lord's Chain Destruction, which can permanently kill deities and heroes]]. He uses this when [[spoiler:he reveals his true colors to the protagonists and Rosalie, threatening to kill them]]. |
| 844 | * WorldsBestWarrior: He's the greatest human warrior on Gaeabrande, as shown by how he easily defeated Eraser Kaiser, a demon general. [[spoiler:After becoming a demon, he's stronger and more skilled than even Seiya.]] |

| 849 | !!Xenosload |
| 850 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KeijiFujiwara (Japanese), Creator/KyleIgneczi (English) |
| 851 | The leader of Gaeabrande's demon army, who is said to be invincible if not faced with [[InfinityPlusOneSword Igzasion]]. |
| 852 | ---- |
| 853 | * AntiMagic: He established an anti-magic field around his castle to prevent the hero from simply nuking him with a powerful spell. This doesn't negate [[spoiler:Valhalla's Gate]], since that skill isn't considered magic. |
| 854 | * ArcVillain: He's the one responsible for the demon attacks in Gaeabrande, but he isn't the BigBad of the overall series because he's only active in one world. |
| 855 | * CrazyPrepared: He uses [[spoiler:Chain Destruction in an attempt to kill the real souls of any hero or god who opposes him]], preventing them from ever returning to impede him and acting as a deterrent against further divine interference. |
| 856 | * DeaderThanDead: [[spoiler:He has an item known as Chain Destruction, which gives him the ability to permanently destroy the souls of heroes and gods if he kills them. He nearly succeeds in doing so to Seiya, but Rista's healing magic stops him. When Xenosload is killed by the second Valhalla's Gate, his Chain Destruction is also destroyed, allowing Seiya's soul to survive their MutualKill.]] |
| 857 | * DemBones: Even when reduced to a skeleton, he's still able to move. |
| 858 | * {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler:He succeeds in escaping one Valhalla's Gate despite being reduced to a skeleton and being hit in the face by Valhalla Blade. Fortunately, he ends up too weakened to survive another gate.]] |
| 859 | * TheDreaded: Everyone in Gaebrande is terrified of him. [[spoiler:Wohlks just lying eyes on him frightened him to the point where he realized he couldn't defeat him and he became the Demon Lord's follower.]] |
| 860 | * EarlyBirdCameo: His silhouette can be seen at the end of episode 6 alongside Eraser Kaiser [[spoiler:after they finished constructing Chain Destruction.]] |
| 861 | * EldritchAbomination: Even though he doesn't really look the part, [[spoiler:he managed to resist, and eventually outright escape, a Valhalla's Gate. Keep in mind, this move is supposed to transcend the fundamental laws of reality to kill absolutely, and destroyed Cross Thanatos, a certified HumanoidAbomination and [[GrimReaper death god]] that [[DimensionalTraveler transcends dimensions]], with no problem at all. Not to mention he packs enough power to [[PlanetDestroyer annihilate a world]].]] |
| 862 | * GenericDoomsdayVillain: His motivations and backstory are never explained and he receives even less characterization than all his minions. |
| 863 | * HeroKiller: Is said to be invincible and can only be harmed by the sword Igzasion. [[spoiler:After Seiya's fight with Emperor Rosegaurd, it is made very clear he has little chance of beating the Demon Lord. Even with Rista's help, Seiya dies in the fight.]] |
| 864 | * HolyBurnsEvil: Igzasion is able to harm him because of the immense sacred energy inside it. |
| 865 | * MaouTheDemonKing: A very generic example to boot. |
| 866 | * MultiArmedAndDangerous: Like Eraser Kaiser, he has multiple arms, [[spoiler:allowing him to hold open the doors of Valhalla's Gate while fighting against Seiya at the same time.]] |
| 867 | * NighInvulnerability: Only the holy sword Igzasion can harm him as seen in his final fight with Seiya. [[spoiler:The blades of Valhalla's Gate are the only other thing able to harm him.]] |
| 868 | * NoNameGiven: Unlike the Demon Lord of Ixphoria, Ultimaeus, his name is never revealed. It's later revealed offhandedly to be Xenosload. |
| 869 | * NoOneCouldSurviveThat: [[spoiler:Despite Valhalla's Gate being touted as a skill that can destroy anything, including beings who can defy the laws of reality, the Demon Lord manages to barely escape one gate.]] |
| 870 | * NoSell: None of Seiya's attacks have any effect on him, [[spoiler:short of Valhalla's Gate.]] |
| 871 | * OneWingedAngel: He can transform from his humanoid form to his true form as a multi-armed demon. [[spoiler:He pulls off another one as a skeletal entity as he manages to escape Valhalla's Gate.]] |
| 872 | * PlanetDestroyer: Judgement Zero, his final DesperationAttack, can annihilate a world "twice over". |
| 873 | * PoorCommunicationKills: He failed to tell Eraser Kaiser [[spoiler:that Emperor Roseguard had secretly defected to their side. Wohlks kills Eraser Kaiser to keep up the deception until he could kill Seiya and Rista with a surprise attack.]] |
| 874 | * RankScalesWithAsskicking: Is the leader of the demon army and the strongest entity on Gaeabrande. Even outside of his OneWingedAngel form, he's immune to every attack by Seiya [[spoiler:except for Valhalla's Gate, and even then he nearly breaks out of it forcing Seiya to use a second one on him.]] |
| 875 | * TakingYouWithMe: He has the ability to destroy the entire world with his Judgement Zero skill, and only uses it when Seiya reduces him to a skeleton. Rista states the skill has enough energy to destroy the world twice. |
| 876 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: Despite the build up and hype he receives throughout the story, he makes his proper appearance only at the end of a fight between him and Seiya right before he dies. We don't even get to see his stat sheet like most of the other villains. |

| 882 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChiakiTakahashi (Japanese), Creator/EmilyFajardo (English) |
| 883 | The first and weakest of the demon generals. |
| 884 | ---- |
| 885 | * AxCrazy: When she speaks, she often [[MadnessMantra repeats her words]] with a SlasherSmile on her face. Later, she takes joy in killing a random villager and gushes over their blood. |
| 886 | * BareMidriffsAreFeminine: She wears a bikini top that leaves almost her entire top body exposed. |
| 887 | * BecomingTheMask: In Warped Gaeabrande, [[spoiler:she dies protecting Rosalie, realizing that she gradually became attached to the human that she originally tricked.]] |
| 888 | * {{BFS}}: Her weapon is a very large sword. |
| 889 | * BodyHorror: After stabbing herself with her own sword, hands burst out of the wound, before the rest of her body becomes a massive winged bull-like demon. |
| 890 | * BuxomBeautyStandard: While she is pretty powerful and has large breasts, she's actually the weakest of the demon generals. |
| 891 | * ChestBurster: A voluntary example. She willingly stabs herself with her sword and unleashes the demonic power contained in her body in a truly gruesome manner. |
| 892 | * CrazyPrepared: She realizes that keeping tabs on a low-level area would allow her to kill any would-be heroes before they can pose a threat. Only Seiya's own crazy preparedness saves him in the end. |
| 893 | * DemonLordsAndArchdevils: A demon general of the [[{{Baphomet}} variety]]. |
| 894 | * DepravedBisexual: She speaks flirtatiously with Seiya, since she respects his cautious nature. [[spoiler:In Warped Gaeabrande, after she betrays Rosalie and reveals her true cruel personality, she decides she'll keep Rosalie alive as her personal SexSlave.]] |
| 895 | * FanDisservice: Her first form is very conventionally attractive and her Release form has some AmazonianBeauty appeal. She then proceeds to gruesomely stab herself with her own sword to unleash her true form, which doesn't look human at all. If it weren't for the voice, you couldn't ever tell she's female at that point. |
| 896 | * FaunsAndSatyrs: Her first form looks like a busty HornedHumanoid with goat-like legs, giving her the appearance of a female satyr. |
| 897 | * FauxAffablyEvil: She speaks in a polite and seductive tone of voice, even when she's slaughtering people. |
| 898 | * FromASingleCell: Seiya brings up the possibility, at least. We never find out whether he's right, as he [[DoubleTap isn't willing to take the chance]]. |
| 899 | * GrowingMusclesSequence: Her Release form has her bulking up a considerable amount. |
| 900 | * HostageSituation: When Seiya and Rista flee to the Divine Realm, she takes the residents of Edona hostage and threatens to kill one every ten minutes if they don't come back. |
| 901 | * ImpossibleHourglassFigure: Her first form is incredibly curvaceous, with large breasts and a small waist with [[HartmanHips wide hips and thick thighs]], and it is even exaggerated with her Release form. |
| 902 | * JumpScare: She causes one for Rista, who when using a crystal ball, is momentarily under the impression that she's aware. It also doesn't help that it's a bit too much of a close-up. |
| 903 | * KickTheDog: She [[ILied shortens the time]] for Seiya and Rista to return before she kills the next hostage, and nearly kills a man in front of his daughter. |
| 904 | * KnightOfCerebus: The story starts out lighthearted and treats Seiya's cautiousness as a gag. However, the situation becomes dire when she arrives, as not only is she a credible threat to the hero, she's also an example of how ruthless and sadistic the demons can be, as shown by how she takes Edona hostage. Despite Seiya curbstomping her in the end, her actions establish that the mission to save Gaeabrande is not to be taken lightly, and she sets the pace for the other demon generals' vileness. |
| 905 | * MsFanservice: She has a thick curvy body with big breasts, big thighs, and always walks around in a bikini. |
| 906 | * NoNonsenseNemesis: |
| 907 | ** She is spawn camping right outside a low-level zone because she is savvy enough to know that's where a hero is likely to start leveling up, giving her a chance to kill an opponent before they can grow into a threat. |
| 908 | ** When Seiya and Rista flee from her, she ''immediately'' gives chase and goes for their heads, without playing with her prey at all. |
| 909 | ** When they do escape, she immediately figures out they might be scrying on her and [[HostageSituation starts killing villagers]] to guilt trip them into a hopeless fight. |
| 910 | ** In her Release form, [[IAmNotLeftHanded she assumes]] that she outclasses Seiya. However, just to be sure there's no way for him to turn the tables, she still unleashes her [[OneWingedAngel full power]]. She ultimately has no chance to beat him, but ''not'' for lack of trying. |
| 911 | * NumberOfTheBeast: Likely not coincidentally, her level is 66, just one number away from this. |
| 912 | * OneWingedAngel: When Seiya proves to be a match for her normal and [[GrowingMusclesSequence Release]] forms, she transforms into a gigantic bullish demon with more than three times her original stats. Fortunately, it turns out Seiya was hiding his true strength too. |
| 913 | * PowerEchoes: In her true form. |
| 914 | * PowerLevels: |
| 915 | ** LV:66, HP:3,877, MP:108, ATK:887, DEF:845, SPD:951, MAG:444, GRW:653. Normal form. |
| 916 | ** LV:66, HP:5,511, MP:227, ATK:1,128, DEF:1,199, SPD:1,060, MAG:517, GRW:653. In her Release form. |
| 917 | ** LV:66, HP:15,100, MP:424, ATK:3,577, DEF:3,229, SPD:3,847, MAG:548, GRW:653. In her true form. |

| 919 | * PrefersGoingBarefoot: Due to having goat hooves, she doesn't wear shoes. |
| 920 | * TheSociopath: She enjoys killing people and has no sense of empathy or compassion. |
| 921 | * StarterVillain: She's the first general encountered by Seiya and has the lowest stats, even in her bull form. |
| 922 | * {{Stripperiffic}}: Her outfit leaves very little to the imagination. |
| 923 | * TattooedCrook: She has a tattoo around her belly button. |
| 924 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: She thought that she was still way above Seiya's stats when he returned. What she didn't realize was that Seiya faked his own stats, which prompts her to transform into her [[OneWingedAngel true form]]. But even then, Seiya still had some tricks up his sleeve, such as Phoenix Drive, an advanced skill that one would not expect at his current level. |
| 925 | * VillainRespect: She compliments Seiya on a few of his cautious moves, such as [[KnowWhenToFoldEm immediately running away at the sight of an overwhelming opponent]] instead of playing doomed heroics, and having the presence of mind to pack smoke bombs. |
| 926 | * WakeUpCallBoss: A rare zigzagged example where she serves as both this and a WarmUpBoss. She appears as a ruthless threat who averts many common clichés of the genre with a vengeance, and makes Rista realize just how brutally unforgiving the enemies of the world she has been assigned to are. In her true form, she has stats that would put many [[EvilOverlord Demon Lords]] to shame. If Rista had summoned any other hero, they would have met their end at her hands for sure. However, thanks to Seiya's bloated stats and hardcore training, she's ultimately nothing special. In fact, she's the only enemy in Gaeabrande that Seiya beats just by using more raw power rather than a specific tactic. |
| 927 | * WalkingSwimsuitScene: She basically goes around in a bikini. |

| 931 | !!Deathmagla |
| 932 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cautious_hero_deathmagla.jpg]] |
| 933 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YujiUeda (Japanese), Chris Gardner (English) |
| 934 | A demon general who specializes in creating and controlling monsters. |
| 935 | ---- |
| 936 | * ArmchairMilitary: He prefers to let his army of monsters fight on his behalf. |
| 937 | * BarrierChangeBoss: Dark Firus. You need a blunt damage skill, then ice magic, and finally fire magic (or any attack powerful enough to get through its enormous defense stat). |
| 938 | * CrazyPrepared: He analyzed how Seiya was able to defeat Chaos Machina, so he makes Dark Firus immune to fire, which is Seiya's magic specialty. [[spoiler:Unfortunately for him, Seiya has bracelets that can convert his fire magic into another element.]] |
| 939 | * DidNotSeeThatComing: He claims to have analyzed every variable and planned for every contingency. But he didn't plan for [[CrazyPrepared Seiya]]. |
| 940 | * ExplainExplainOhCrap: [[spoiler:He learns the hard way that he shouldn't have revealed how to exploit the weakness of Dark Firus after Seiya does just that by taking advantage of the information in order to defeat the summon.]] |
| 941 | * ExplainingYourPowersToTheEnemy: Exploited and parodied. After Deathmagla explains in detail the only way to defeat Dark Firus, Seiya calls him out. Deathmagla retorts that it doesn't matter, as the whole process is [[PuzzleBoss so incredibly convoluted]] nobody would ever be able to single-handedly be able to use all the skills necessary to defeat it, and he just wanted to see the heroes [[DespairEventHorizon wallow in despair]] at the realization of their impending doom. [[DidNotSeeThatComing Naturally]], [[UnderestimatingBadassery he is wrong]]. |
| 942 | * ExtraEyes: He has a third eye on his forehead. |
| 943 | * FrontlineGeneral: Completely averted. When Seiya wipes out his undead army, Rista assumes Deathmagla must have been annihilated along with them. She's unfortunately wrong. |
| 944 | * GuardianEntity: Dark Firus serves this role to the noncombatant Deathmagla. |
| 945 | * KickTheDog: He tortures and attempts to kill Mash in order to get back at Seiya, who destroyed his undead army. There was no practical reason to do so, as he simply wanted Seiya to be racked with guilt. |
| 946 | * KilledOffscreen: After Dark Firus is destroyed, he's last seen cowering before Seiya as Rista takes Mash away, before a SmashCut to outside his castle, where his screams startle the birds. |
| 947 | * MadScientist: His forte is creating and upgrading all kinds of monsters to be much stronger than they normally are. |
| 948 | * ManOfKryptonite: Dark Firus was ''supposed'' to be one to Seiya - a creature that is immune to all the strong suits he displayed during the fight against Chaos Machina, and can only be killed with two abilities Deathmagla deemed him to be very unlikely to have: a special skill used primarily by unarmed combatants instead of swordsmen, and ice magic, the polar opposite ot Seiya's fire magic. Thankfully, Seiya learned the unarmed combat ability anyways just in case he was ever deprived of his sword, and has items that allow him to use different types of magic, including ice. |
| 949 | * {{Necromancer}}: He has an army of 10,000 undead under his control. |
| 950 | * NoSell: He summons Dark Firus, a fire monster designed specifically to nullify physical attacks, as well as all the elements Seiya can use. It can only be damaged by using Oscillatory Wave, a pugilist skill, to upset its molecular structure before hitting it with ice magic. Fortunately, Deathmagla gloats about all these weaknesses believing Seiya won't be able to use the necessary skills, only to be proven wrong. |
| 951 | * PowerLevels: LV:74, HP:80,187, MP:9,215, ATK:31,559, DEF:135,875, SPD:10,741, MAG:8,377. These aren't Deathmagla's stats, but rather his monster Dark Firus's. |
| 952 | * PuzzleBoss: Dark Firus is almost indestructible. The keyword is almost. You need to use a very specific blunt damage skill to unbalance the creature's composition, then you need to use ice magic to convert it from fire to ice-type. This renders it vulnerable, but you still need to get past its massive defense stat to actually deal any damage, fortunately at that point it becomes weak to fire. [[ExplainingYourPowersToTheEnemy Thankfully, Deathmagla is overconfident enough to tell the puzzle's solution to his foe]]. |
| 953 | * SupportPartyMember: He has basically zero combat ability himself, but specializes in creating and improving monsters and reanimating undead. |
| 954 | * StupidEvil: He sends a magic mirror to Seiya so that the latter can watch him kill Mash. He doesn't realize doing so allows a very pissed off Seiya to track him down and cut him with a very long-ranged skill. He also commits the classic error of ExplainingYourPowersToTheEnemy. |

| 961 | A high-ranking insect demon who specializes in speed and aerial combat. |
| 962 | ---- |
| 963 | * AlmightyJanitor: He's not one of the four generals, but he's still a deadly enough opponent that Seiya had to go back to the Divine Realm to train. |
| 964 | * AxCrazy: He and his minions' favorite tactic is to grab humans, fly to deadly heights, and drop them on the ground while bragging about the ensuing gore. |
| 965 | * BringIt: He tells Seiya to take his shot at him, and he won't bother moving until after Seiya has fired all his arrows at him. He more than proves his boast by dodging seven consecutive arrows effortlessly. |
| 966 | * DeadlyEuphemism: His "reverse fireworks". Where he and his minions grab people, flies them as high as possible and then drop them so they splat on the ground. |
| 967 | * DidntSeeThatComing: He correctly analyzes where and how Seiya is going to attack him and dodges with ease. The one thing he didn't expect was Seiya's arrows turning around mid-flight when he wasn't paying attention. |
| 968 | * FlashStep: He can dodge arrows at fast speeds to the point where he looks like he's teleporting. |
| 969 | * FragileSpeedster: His agility stat is 487562, allowing him to dodge Seiya's arrows easily. However, his HP is only 18963 and his other stats are in the quadruple digits despite being at level 76, meaning he dies easily if he's actually hit. |
| 970 | * HomeFieldAdvantage: He's unbeatable in the air thanks to his incredible speed. It doesn't even matter that the rest of his stats are crap, since his speed more than compensates for everything. |
| 971 | * IKnowYouKnowIKnow: Beel Bub can analyze on the spot the different possibilities on how a hero can counter him in mid-air. [[spoiler:While holding her hostage, Rosalie accidentally reveals that Seiya trained to counter him. He then guesses that Seiya will snipe him from a distance, so Beel Bub flies up above the skies with Rosalie before attempting to drop her.]] |
| 972 | * InTheBack: He thinks he can easily kill Seiya in aerial combat due to his speed. While he manages to dodge a volley of arrows from Seiya, he didn't expect the arrows to return and attack him from behind. |
| 973 | * PowerLevels: LV:76, HP:18,963, MP:8,751, ATK:7,877, DEF:5,969, SPD:487,562, MAG:883. |
| 974 | * ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: His name sounds similar to Beelzebub, a demon who is also heavily associated with flies. |
| 975 | * UnhandThemVillain: When Rista demands that he lets Rosalie go, he agrees by attempting to throw her towards the ground at a speed such that Rista can't catch her. Fortunately, Seiya shoots his arm off before he can do so. |

| 1003 | * CreepyCrosses: As if its GrimReaper-like appearance wasn't creepy enough, it carries a large black cross as its name (Crossed Thanatos) indicates. |
| 1004 | * CrossAttack: It wields a giant cross that it uses to try and crush its targets. The cross can also shoot laser beams. |
| 1005 | * DimensionalTraveler: Crossed Thanatos enters the Divine Realm on its own, following Seiya's party. |
| 1006 | * FireIceLightning: Fires bolts of all three at Valkyrie. It doesn't stick. |
| 1007 | * TheGrimReaper: Is a mysterious hooded figure that is referred to as the god of death. But instead of a scythe, it wields a large cross. |
| 1008 | * HumanoidAbomination: More so than most humanoid demons. The party states it doesn't follow the rules of the world and any attempts to use Scan on it reveals a bunch of random characters in place of normal stat values. Worse yet, Seiya states that it doesn't have the Fake Out skill, which means the garbled strings are actually its real stats. |
| 1009 | * ImplacableMan: It just never stops coming after its designated target. Attacks do nothing to it, and it can even track and chase its prey into other dimensions. Only a conceptual killing technique from the Goddess of Destruction herself finally takes it down. |
| 1010 | * InTheHood: It looks like a shadowy humanoid wearing a hooded robe. |
| 1011 | * LightIsNotGood: Its cloak is entirely white, but it's the god of death summoned by Kilkapul. Appropriately enough, in many Asian cultures, the color white symbolizes death. |
| 1012 | * NighInvulnerable: Any attempt to destroy it physically or magically will result in it splitting itself and regenerating. Only Valhalla's Gate or the sacred sword Igzasion are capable of permanently killing it. |
| 1013 | * ReadingsAreOffTheScale: When Seiya and Rista look at its stats, all they see is garbled error text. |
| 1014 | * ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: In Greek mythology, Thanatos is the personification of death. |
| 1015 | * SelfDuplication: It can split and duplicate itself whenever someone attempts to cut it. Unlike most examples of this though, it never ''stays'' that way, as the duplicates always merge back with the real one a short time afterward. |
| 1016 | * SkullForAHead: The few times its face is shown, it has the appearance of a skull with grey skin, with its mouth being just a small line and its only facial feature being a giant black hole where its eyes should be. |
| 1017 | * StoneWall: Downplayed. It only deals ScratchDamage at best to Seiya (although admittedly it did not land a direct hit) and most of its techniques don't look incredibly impressive, although it's still strong enough to beat most gods ([[AlwaysABiggerFish who aren't Valkyrie]]) with minimal effort. The real problem, however, is that it can't be damaged at all, and it takes a OneHitKill that transcends the fabric of time and space to kill absolutely to finally put it to rest. |
| 1018 | * TheSpeechless: It cannot speak at all. |

| 1048 | * HarpingOnAboutHarpies: She's a beautiful harpy demon, though her real face is much uglier. |

| 1053 | * SoLastSeason: Her stats are on par with the SS-ranked Demon Lord Ultimaeus and the four demon emperors of Ixphoria. Of course, Seiya's already surpassed them by the time he fights her, so she goes down easily without landing a single blow on him. |

| 1084 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While he's still cross with Seiya for failing to save Ixphoria in his previous summoning and constantly bickers with him, Jonde also makes an effort to try to understand the reasoning behind Seiya's actions, expressing sympathy towards the latter for having to make tough decisions. |
| 1085 | * MightyGlacier: He has high attack and defense, but his speed is only in the triple digits. This is because the undead are naturally slow, and he's further hindered by the ball and chain on his ankle. |
| 1086 | * OneCurseLimit: His curse of undeath prevents him from being cursed again by Celemonic. |

Note these stats are from one year ago right after he defeated Seiya's party and powered up by receiving the Dark God's Blessing.

| 1189 | * FauxAffablyEvil: When he first meets Seiya, he tries to butter the latter up by complimenting him on his abilties and offering to team up and kill Ultimaeus. This is just a ruse to get Seiya to drop his guard, though Seiya isn't fooled. |
| 1190 | * KingOfBeasts: He's a lion and the strongest beastkin who rules over them all. |

| 1192 | * OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Unlike Bunogeos, Grandleon doesn't need to consume a spell stone to achieve a stronger form.

It's implied that he was the lion chimera Seiya killed in his first visit to Ixphoria since [[spoiler:it has the same wings and snake tail that Grandleon does in Beast Hazard mode.]] |
| 1198 | * {{Sadist}}: He only keeps Queen Carmilla alive so he can torture her, and only wants to execute her when she finally cries. |

Stat-wise, he's the only one of the emperors who can go toe-to-toe with Seiya's berserker mode, but he also has the least diverse skillset and no damage-immunity abilities.

| 1214 | * PsychicLink: [[spoiler:He can sense anything his minions sense, but not the other way around. Seiya exploits this by presenting false information to Kiriko.]] |
| 1215 | * TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:Seiya thinks he'll try to self-destruct like many fictional machine enemies. It's ambiguous if Oxerio really has that ability, since it's unknown if the explosion from his death is due to his own mechanisms or from Seiya's Crimson Boom.]] |

| 1218 | [[folder:Vengeful Empress Celemonic]] |
| 1219 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/celemonic.PNG]] |
| 1220 | [[caption-width-right:350:Monica (left) and Celena (right)]] |
| 1221 | A humanoid demon emperor who specializes in curses. She rules over the southern continent Kress. |
| 1222 | ---- |
| 1223 | * DyingCurse: [[spoiler:After Rista kills her, Celemonic places the Bloody Systeria curse on Rista, which kills her within a time limit and won't be lifted until Rista dies. Killing Rista's astral soul doesn't fool the curse, but showing Tiana's death does. Unfortunately, Mersais revives Celemonic's spirit to attempt the curse again, but Seiya manages to defeat her with Astral Break and the Hexagram Ritual of Retribution.]] |
| 1224 | * HolyBurnsEvil: Her Dark Resilience special ability means her HP will never reach 0 unless she's finished off by a holy-type attack. |
| 1225 | * KillOneOthersGetStronger: She gets stronger every time one of her heads is destroyed, since she wants to avenge the fallen heads. It doesn't matter if she's the one who crushes her own heads, since she'll make someone else the target of her vengeance. |
| 1226 | * MultipleHeadCase: She has three heads: Shanak, Celena, and Monica. Each of them has a different personality and are willing to kill each other to become stronger. |
| 1227 | * NumberOfTheBeast: All her stats are have only the number 6 in them. |
| 1228 | * {{Portmanteau}}: Celemonic's name is a mashup of her two remaining heads, Celena and Monica. |
| 1229 | * PowerLevels: LV:99(MAX), HP:666,666, MP:66,666, ATK:666,666, DEF:666,666, SPD:666,666, MAG:6,666, GRW:999(MAX). |
| 1230 | * {{Sadist}}: All of her curses are designed to make her victims die painfully, and she dislikes fighting golems because they don't have feelings. |
| 1231 | * WalkingWasteland: All plants wilt in her presence, which is what allows the party to identify her as Celemonic. |
| 1232 | * WeakButSkilled: She's weaker than Oxerio and Grandleon in terms of stats, but her curse abilities allow her to be a menace from beyond the grave. She can also pull tricks such as tracing the source of surveillance abilities and teleporting to that source. |

| 1235 | [[folder:Death Emperor Sirrusht]] |
| 1236 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sirrusht.PNG]] |
| 1237 | An undead demon emperor who rules over death and destruction. He rules over the western continent Aeris. |
| 1238 | ---- |
| 1239 | * AchillesHeel: His ghost form can only be harmed with spirit-type magic and attacks, and his mummy form is weak to fire. His skeleton form is half-physical, half-spirit, so pure spirit-type magic can't harm it, he needs to be attacked with both at the same time or a weapon infused with spiritual energy. |
| 1240 | * ClothingCombat: His mummy form uses his bandages to attack Seiya. |
| 1241 | * DemBones: After Seiya kills him once and he uses Cemetery: Night Again to resurrect himself, he takes the form of a horned black skeleton. |
| 1242 | * HopeCrusher: He revives the people of Fulwahna as humans, not undead and alters their memories so that they believe Seiya defeated Ultimaeus. He later cuts them off from the Dark God's power to return them to sand and not even Seiya's new spirit abilities can save them. Worse yet, he restores their memories at the last minute in order to make them die again with despair. |
| 1243 | * InterfaceScrew: Like Seiya, he has the Fake Out skill, preventing anyone from using a lower level Scan on him. |
| 1244 | * {{Mummy}}: His first physical form. |
| 1245 | * {{Necromancer}}: His greatest spell Cemetery: Night Again can resurrect every monster killed in Ixphoria so long as a small part of their body remains, and grants them a boost in all stats except speed and Corpse Regeneration. This includes the other three demon emperors Seiya already killed, which would make beating him flat out impossible. However, it's useless because Seiya always takes care to dispose the corpses of every monster he killed, so there's nothing to bring back. He can still use it on himself for self-resurrection. |
| 1246 | * OneWingedAngel: His skeleton form he takes after he resurrects is half-spirit, half-physical, meaning an attack must have both attributes if it is to harm him. |
| 1247 | * OurGhostsAreDifferent: He initially takes the form of a ghost, but is forced into his mummy after Seiya constantly attacks him with swords infused with his spiritual energy. |
| 1248 | * SlidingScaleOfUndeadRegeneration: He also has Corpse Regeneration, except his version heals so fast that Seiya has trouble outpacing it, and he can boost it even faster with Permanent Rot. Seiya instead opts to beat him with a massive ChargedAttack so Sirrusht has no time to heal. |
