9	!!Kogami Kii
10	A dissatisfied schoolboy.
11	\
12	His future counterpart is an elementary school teacher who is dating Kaede.
13	----
14	* ChildhoodFriends: He's this with Tsukune [[spoiler: and Sayano. In fact, Kii gave Sayano her hair clip, and she's worn it ever since]].

21	----
22	* BitchInSheepsClothing: An early reveal makes her out to be this, as Sayano reveals that Tsukune forced her and Miki to bully her to get Kogami’s sympathy, out of fear of Tsukune killing their parents. There's also the fact that the young Tsukune's "treasure chest" contains drawings and keychains matching the Magical Girls, unnerving Kii.
23	** Eventually, this is revealed to be a SubvertedTrope. [[spoiler:All of Tsukune's malicious acts were done by her induced SplitPersonality, Asuka. When the parasite causing "Asuka" is removed, Tsukune becomes just as sweet as she initially appeared.]]
24	* TheLoad: Tsukune’s influence on the plot is inversely proportionate to her ability to protect herself: she's introduced as a crybaby who needs Kogami's protection, and doesn't develop much further than that. [[spoiler:Even when her heritage is revealed as a Magical Girl, the importance is placed not on her powers, but on that of her and Kogami's hypothetical child.]]

39	* {{Ephebophile}}: He really, ''really'' likes high school girls, to the point that he rejects [[spoiler: the grown-up Miu]] for being an old hag of 28, even though she's almost as curvy as Yoruka. [[spoiler: Though he still marries her in the epilogue.]]
40	* HeelFaceTurn: You'd never suspect from his initial appearance that he'd turn out to be a good guy.
41	* LovableSexManiac: Initially played without an iota of "lovable": he's introduced with pants about his waist and grabbing his crotch next to two naked unconscious women, and shoots at Miki when she tries to intervene.
42	* TheNicknamer: "Miss Funbags" for Yoruka, "Trash Girl" for Kaede, "Chicken Legs" for Tsukune, "Old Hag" for [[spoiler: adult Miu]] and "[[MemeticMutation Titty Monster]]" for the Witch. He himself is often referred to as "Rent-A-Cop" "Rapey Cop" and "Kappa."

56
57	A {{Ronin}} who flunked the Todai entrance exam and is now questioning his life's goals.
58
59	* KilledOffForReal: In both present-day timelines. In the first, he makes it almost to the end; in the second, he has his leg ripped off by a Magical Girl [[WeHardlyKnewYe shortly after (re-)introduction]].
60	* ShipTease: Rather blatantly with Yoruka. As the above trope shows, it tends to end badly...[[spoiler:until the epilogue where they get married.]]
61
62	!!Anai Miu
63
64	In the second timeline, she gets shot into the past by a powered-up Chronos M and lands in the year 1992. Orphaned as a result, she is raised by ____ and turns into a Magical Girl-killing machine. Tropes applying to Miu in this timeline are:
65
66	* {{Samurai}}: Fashions herself as such, complete with a katana designed to kill Magical Girls.
67	* StalkerWithACrush: Somehow thinks of Akuta as her "god:" it's PlayedForLaughs, as Akuta doesn't reciprocate.

149	[[/folder]]
150
151	[[folder:Other Antagonists (UNMARKED SPOILERS)]]
152
153	!!Himeji Wataru
154
155	* AlwaysABiggerFish: In the parallel timeline, the ritual is starting, Himeji is excited that his plan is coming to fruition... and he gets knocked out by a shadowy figure.
156	* ArtificialHuman: Was created by Makabe to serve his plan.
157	* BecomeARealBoy: For all his talk of wanting to become god, all Himeji really wants is to become a real human being so he can die to escape all the horror Makabe put him through.
158	* BigBadWannabe: Seemingly taking the reins at main antagonist after offing Makabe, Himeji is the apparent villain of the work until the very end when Makabe reveals himself very much still active and takes out Himeji to continue his plans.
159	* BitchInSheepsClothing: Masquerading as a friendly, harmless deaf student, Himeji is actually the mastermind of the magical girl apocalypse, as part of his plan to become god.
160	* TheChessmaster: In his initial arc, Himeji is able to play the rest of the cast near seamlessly, with none suspecting he's the mastermind of the apocalypse.
161	* ComplexityAddiction: Himeji's bid to become god involves causing an apocalypse to make a specific girl fall for misattribution of arousal in her fear and have sex and bear a child for him to use in his ritual to become god. Even his servant points out how absurdly convoluted this is idea is.
162	* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Compares the idea of love to a full toilet, indicating his hatred of tender feelings.
163	* TheHeavy: After seemingly killing off Keito Makabe, Himeji takes over the latter's plan to become God, directly confronting the heroes until the end, when Makabe is revealed to have survived and take out Himeji to resume his plan.
164	* ManipulativeBastard: Himeji acts the part of friend to the heroes to throw suspicion off himself in the apocalypse and to drive them into danger to complete his plans.
165	* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: As if kidnapping young magical girls from their families (and murdering said families) wasn't enough to indicate he is a bad guy, Himeji tops it off by sexually assaulting a teenaged magical girl after rendering her unconscious.
166	* SmugSnake: As time goes on, it becomes increasingly clear Himeji is nowhere near as in control of events as he likes to think he is and much of his final confrontation with the heroes consists of him running and cursing as he's beaten.
167
168	!!Himeji Wataru (Female)
169
170	!!Puppet Master
171	A seemingly intelligent Artificial Magical Girl.
172	----
173	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Puppet Master, [[spoiler:a human of the Magical Girl bloodline that was captured and augmented using the techniques to make Alternative Magical Girls,]] had her memories and personality altered to serve the bad guys. Now essentially an anti-Magical Girl Magical Girl, she is [[TheDragon The Dragon]] to the main villain.
174
175	!!Makabe Keito / Rei Kurorogi
176
177	* BigBad: It's all ultimately Makabe's plans to become god that drive the conflict of the series.
178	* BodySurf: Kurorogi has been keeping himself alive this way for centuries, and the death of his host bodies is no problem. [[spoiler: It takes rewriting him out of the universe to finally destroy him.]]
179	* GodhoodSeeker: Makabe intends to incite a ritual that will give him godlike powers so he can rule the multiverse.
180	* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Who's the true BigBad of the series? Himeji? No, he's just a pawn. Makabe? No, he's just the latest in a long line of host bodies. The BigBad is...a centuries-old body-surfing wizard who's only introduced in the last two volumes.
181	* GreaterScopeVillain: During the first arc, Makabe is inactive but it was his abuse of Himeji that drives him to cause the apocalyptic event the heroes have to face.
182	* IAmLegion: Once Kurorogi creates his "perfect" world he can see through the eyes of everyone on it, forcing the heroes to hide deep in the wilderness. Unfortunately a hiker happens along...
183	* ImpersonationExclusiveCharacter: All Makabe's actions as the twist villain turns out to be Kurorogi's; Kurorogi uses Makabe's body in anticipation to Himeji's betrayal.
184	* MadScientist: Kidnaps and mutilates several women while trying to find one with a power he needs for his nefarious schemes.
185	* TheManBehindTheMan: Of the series overall. While Makabe is relatively inactive (and believed dead) for a good chunk of the manga, he's the one pulling the strings behind Himeji and the final villain to be beaten. Kurorogi turns out to be this for Makabe, as Makabe is simply one of his many identities.
186	* OmnicidalManiac: Angered that the heroes continue defying him after he's reached godhood, Makabe violently destroys the multiverse.
187	* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: Wipes out every single universe to create one "perfect" one.
188
189	!!Asuka
190	A personality injected into past Tsukune, setting up misfortune in front of Kii to force a bond between him and Tsukune.
191
192	!!Muroku Rail
193
194	Mikano's birth father, and a powerful exorcist.
195	----
196	* StrawNihilist: He wants nothing more than the [[ApocalypseHow/ClassZ destruction of all space and time]]. Rail delights in telling Tsukune that the protagonists face an impossible choice: they either let the Demon be reborn in Shinobu's body in the future, who will destroy the universe; or revive Himeji to stabilize Maria's core, but allow Himeji to complete the Ritual of Time in the parallel timeline, which will not bear well for the multiverse. Either way, he's happy to not get involved and to let it all play out.
