| 32 | The Norse god and leader of Valhalla. He's also a pervert. |
| 33 | ---- |
| 34 | * BigDamnHeroes: In Volume 6, he arrives to help the Occult Research Club when they find themselves heavily outnumbered by an army of the Khaos Brigade led by Diodora. What does he do as his entrance? [[PantyShot Flip Akeno's skirt]]. |
| 35 | * BrokenPedestal: He becomes one to Rossweisse at the end of Volume 7. She is introduced as his bodyguard, often taking care of him on trips and supporting his life. She often tries to get Odin off of his perverted antics. Unfortunately for Rossweisse, Odin abandons her after the battle with Loki. Since then, the mere sight of Odin will immediately set her off. |
| 36 | * CoolOldGuy: He's quite laid back as far as gods go, actively preserving the current peace order and complimenting Issei for his various feats. |
| 37 | * DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: Hung out at Issei's place and drinking tea because he's attending the peace talks in Japan. |
| 38 | * DirtyOldMan: He's often chastised for this by Rossweisse, which leads to him calling her a prude who'll never have a boyfriend. He's the one who gave Vali and Albion the title "Butt Dragon Emperor" after Vali half-heartedly replies to Odin's query about his fetishes that he thinks women's hips look nice. |
| 39 | * HeroicSacrifice: He seals himself to suppress Trihexa. |
| 40 | * HighClassGlass: Wears a monocle on his left eye, representing the legend of the "one-eyed Odin". |
| 41 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite his DirtyOldMan tendencies and arrogance, he does feel some responsibility for Loki's villainy, and acknowledged Issei and Vali's abilities. |
| 42 | * NamedWeapons: Gungnir. This is ''Odin'' we're talking about here. |

| 55 | ->'''Species:''' God\ |
| 56 | '''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakayukiKondo (Japanese) and Creator/JohnBurgmeier (English) |
| 57 | |
| 58 | The Evil God of Norse mythoogy, Loki plans to murder Odin and start Ragnarok. However, thanks to the intervention of Issei and his friends, his plans are quickly thwarted and he's captured. |
| 59 | ---- |
| 60 | * {{Abusive Parent|s}}: He treats his children as nothing more than tools to help him and his goals. |
| 61 | * BadassBoast: ''"Even if I don't use Fenrir, two fallen angels are no match for me!"'' |
| 62 | * BadassLongrobe: Wears a longrobe to signify his prowess as a capable fighter. |
| 63 | * BadBoss: Loki doesn't particularly care much for the wellbeing of the Underworld Lifeforms, calling them expendable. |
| 64 | * BigBad: The main antagonist of Volume 7/''[=BorN=]'' and the ''EX'' spin-off. |
| 65 | * TheBusCameBack: He was completely absent after the end of volume 7 until ''EX'', where it is revealed that Loki broke out of prison to wreak havoc on the timeline, which leads to the events of ''[=BorN=]''. Unfortunately, [[spoiler:it backfires thanks to the intervention of Issei's children]]. |
| 66 | * ContinuityRebooter: Even though he attempts to be a ContinuityRebooter, Loki's actually an "Alternate Timeline Maker". In ''EX'', Loki inflicts a curse on Asia, then travels back in time with the Underworld Lifeforms and starts altering history, creating multiple parallel worlds, one of which is the ''[=BorN=]'' timeline. It's a NearVillainVictory for him when [[spoiler:Issei's kids travel back in time to capture him so that they can learn how to lift Asia's curse, derailing his plans]]. |
| 67 | * TheCorrupter: In ''EX'', his future self places a curse on Asia and travels back in time to rewrite history, which allows his ''present'' self to inflict a curse on Rias and Issei in ''[=BorN=]''. It also ends up being [[spoiler:his future self's undoing]]. |
| 68 | * DidntSeeThatComing: In ''EX'', he and the Underworld Lifeforms travel back in time to rewrite history and create an outcome favorable to the Evil Gods. [[spoiler:However, he isn't prepared for Issei's children traveling back in time in order to lift a curse he placed on Asia, which effectively ends his plans.]] |
| 69 | * DirtyCoward: Happens in last three anime-original episodes of ''[=BorN=]''. While imprisoned, he taunts Odin about the curse placed on Issei and Rias, and when called out on the fact that he did so (because he couldn't beat Sirzechs or Odin directly) he seals himself so nobody can force him to undo it. Unfortunately for him, Issei and Rias lift the curse in the Dimensional World. |
| 70 | * FateWorseThanDeath: He ends up sealed with Rossweisse's spells at the conclusion of Volume 7. |
| 71 | * GenericDoomsdayVillain: In the original Norse myths, his morality is a bit hard to pin down thanks to conflicting narratives. Here, he doesn't appear to have any reason for wanting Ragnarok other than destruction for destruction's sake. The novels in particular only have him offhandedly mention Ragnarok once, complaining that Odin's intent on allying with other mythologies will get in the way. Lampshaded by Issei, who can't imagine what motivation he could possibly have for wanting to end the world. Vali suggests that there are simply people ([[BloodKnight like himself]]) who can't stand peace. |
| 72 | * AGodAmI: Loki highlights exactly how dangerous a god complex is when someone has powers befitting a PhysicalGod. |
| 73 | * MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight: He travels back in time with the Underworld Lifeforms in order to change history and create an outcome favorable for the Evil Gods. He succeeds in creating several [[AlternateTimeline parallel timelines]], including the anime's AlternateContinuity depicted in ''[=BorN=]''. ''EX'' makes it clear that [[spoiler:Issei's children will have to travel back in time to lift a curse he inflicted on Asia, capturing him and preventing him from completing his scheme in the process]]. |
| 74 | * MotiveRant: When he's on the receiving end of a well-justified beatdown in ''EX'', he spends his every waking moment ranting and raving about how he's the "one true Norse God," and how it's ''unfair'' that he's the one Norse who got imprisoned while all the other Norse were rightly forming alliances with other mythologies. Of course, he completely overlooks his own alliances with the Khaos Brigade, and then with the UL. |
| 75 | * NearVillainVictory: In ''EX'', Loki curses Asia and then travels back in time with the Underworld Lifeforms to change history, creating the timeline ''[=BorN=]'' takes place in, among others. [[spoiler:He would have had the last laugh if not for Issei's children traveling back in time in order to lift Asia's curse, capturing him and negating his victory]]. |
| 76 | * OneManArmy: Consider this: on one side of the field, you have two Heavenly Dragon users who're fighting side by side, a team of fallen angels, the rest of the Occult Research Club, and the rest of Vali's group. On the other hand, there's him and Fenrir with Fenrir's sons and some mini-dragons. He ''still'' had the upper hand. It took ''divine intervention'' just to even defeat him. |
| 77 | %%* PhysicalGod |
| 78 | * PutOnAPrisonBus: He gets imprisoned by Rossweisse's seals towards the end of Volume 7 and is never seen again. |
| 79 | * ShoutOut: His Artificial Longinus in ''EX'' takes the form of a staff in a similar vein to the [[Film/TheAvengers2012 Tesseract]]. |
| 80 | * SmugSuper: Loves to proclaim his superiority due to his godhood to everyone, even his superiors, like Odin. It ends up being his undoing. |
| 81 | * SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum: This is his ultimate goal. He is desperate to bring about Ragnarok and kill ''all'' of the mythologies, including himself. This is true to the original mythology, but the original Ragnarok was merely a means to an end. (Take over Asgard when everyone else is dead.) Here, he wants to kill ''everybody''. Apparently, being in contact with other mythologies and being held in the Asgardian prison for thirty years changes his mind. |
| 82 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: He underestimates Issei and his allies during his battle with them in Volume 7 before he's easily defeated. |
| 83 | * VillainOverride: He does one to Rias since he corrupts Issei and Rias with his curse in ''[=BorN=]''. But it doesn't last long and they destroy the curse. |

| 93 | ---- |
| 94 | * ChekhovsGun: Having similar interest as her granddaughter means that she is also one who had a research on the topic of Trihexa. As a result, she was kidnapped by Qlippoth during the Auros Academy assault. |
| 95 | * NeverMessWithGranny: Fights her way against the stray magicians during the Auros assault. Even with her powers sealed, Göndul could still try to put up a fight when Rossweisse gets taken by Euclid. |
| 96 | * ShipperOnDeck: After seeing what Issei can do to protect her granddaughter, she consents Rossweisse's relationship and leaves her to his care. |
| 97 | * ShoutOut: Göndul is one of the valkyries mentioned in ''Literature/ProseEdda''. It seems that in this series, the Eddic valkyries are the original/older ones, while the [[Music/RichardWagner Wagnerian]] ones are of newer generation (becomes a case of FridgeBrilliance and ShownTheirWork if you're into the works of Myth/NorseMythology). |
| 98 | * SilverVixen: Issei notes that while she is Rossweisse's grandma, her body is still fit as if she is younger. She is a {{Valkyrie|s}} after all. |
| 99 | * {{Valkyries}}: She is a famous magic master amongst Norse mythology. |

| 123 | * ExtremityExtremist: His fighting style revolves around kicks [[spoiler: combined with his shoes he is comparable to Thor.]] |
| 124 | * GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: A God who wears a white suit, has white-golden hair and golden eyes. |
| 125 | * KungFuWizard: He is also a powerful Magician who can attack, support his allies, weaken his opponents or strengthen his own body with magic while he also is a powerful physical fighter. |
| 126 | * PoweredArmor: [[spoiler: Has his own artificial Balance Breaker armor called Ragnarök Earth Berserk using his pact with Midgardsormr as the source for it similar to Azazel's pact with Fafnir while the armor is full body it has most of a focus towards the legs because of Vidar's fighting style.]] |

| 164 | |

| 166 | ---- |
| 167 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: He ''demanded'' to see Sirzechs' true form. Sirzechs complied. |
| 168 | * BigBad: He's the main antagonist of the third and fifth arcs. The Khaos Brigade were nothing more than pawns to him. |
| 169 | * DemBones: What he looks like from the description. |
| 170 | * EverybodyHatesHades: {{Play|ingWithATrope}}ed with. Hades is not an evil being, rather he operates on BlueAndOrangeMorality. True to his myth, he believes the dead should remain dead, so it annoys him when the other pantheons continually revive the dead or reincarnate them. He in turn considers reincarnated beings as "fakes" and the other pantheons an "annoyance" for interfering with the Greek Pantheon, even denouncing Zeus for agreeing to work with them. So while he is largely true to his myth in regards to mortals, he is portrayed more antagonistically due to the cast being comprised of the supernatural. |
| 171 | * EvilWearsBlack: His standard attire is a black uniform worn by high priests. |
| 172 | * {{Expy}}: Ishibumi based Hades' design on Ainz Ooal Gown from ''Literature/Overlord2012''. |
| 173 | * FantasticRacism: Hades despises all Pantheons outside of the Greek Pantheon, believing them to be nothing more than an annoyance. He also hates the "bats and crows" (Devils and Fallen Angels) for taking up space in the Underworld. |
| 174 | * GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath: His eye sockets will occasionally glow, usually when angered. |
| 175 | * TheManBehindTheMan: The Khaos Brigade would never have attacked the Underworld if Hades didn't let them. |
| 176 | * NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:He allegedly wants to protect the human world and isn't entirely wrong about the threats Longinus pose (they were the source of both the Demonic Beast Riot and the Evil Dragon War), but he's already been established as a [[FantasticRacism bigot]] and is partly motivated by an aversion to peace.]] |
| 177 | * PetTheDog: [[spoiler:After team Black Satan of Darkness Dragon King loses in the Azazel Cup, Verrine apologizes for it he pats her head telling her it's fine and she did great.]] [[spoiler:After the defeat of Erebus and Tartarus, Hades decides that he will fight next Verrine offers to join but Hades tells her he doesn't mind if she stays out of it but she insists on joining.]] |

| 204 | * BadassFamily: He fathered many monsters with Echidna. That includes ''the original versions of Cerberus, Hydra, and the Evil Dragon Ladon''. |
| 205 | * BloodKnight: He really likes to fight to a point he asks if Issei could be his opponent during their Rating Game despite Issei being Vidar's fight [[spoiler: and when Ddraig was summoned during the Rating Game Typhon only focused on him and became excited to face him.]] |

| 308 | The leader of the {{Youkai}} faction at Kyoto and is also Kunou's mother. |
| 309 | ---- |
| 310 | * AntiquatedLinguistics: Like her daughter, she uses archaic Japanese, including the personal pronoun "warawa". |
| 311 | * AsianFoxSpirit: Considered the highest class of {{Yokai}}, she has fox ears and nine tails, and her true form is a kitsune over 10 meters tall. |
| 312 | * AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: In her giant Nine-Tailed Fox, she can lay waste to a large city or burn down a Bandersnatch. |
| 313 | * AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: She gave Saji a run for his money at Kyoto and blasts away one of the Bandersnatch during the invasion of the Underworld in Volume 12. |
| 314 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: Thanks to the Khaos Brigade, who are using her to try summoning Great Red. |
| 315 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: She has blonde hair with matching yellow eyes. |
| 316 | * DamselInDistress: She causes a lot of problems at Kyoto thanks to Cao Cao and the Hero Faction kidnapping her. |
| 317 | * IWantGrandkids: The Kyoto - Heavenly Dragon Descendant Plan implies this and telling Kunou to get along with Rias so she could have Issei's children. |
| 318 | %%* {{Miko}} |
| 319 | * PlayingWithFire: She can manipulate fire at will to burn down enemies. |
| 320 | * ShamelessFanserviceGirl: She doesn’t mind letting Issei see her naked body and get intimate with him in the sauna. |
| 321 | * ShipperOnDeck: Ships Issei and her daughter Kunou, asking him to wait until she grows up. |
| 322 | * SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: In ''Shin Volume 3'', she expresses her loneliness and wish to be with a gentleman, such as Issei, who while rich, isn't nobility, meaning that she refers to his heart. |
| 323 | * StacysMom: Her attractive looks and large bosom definitely tickle Issei's fancy upon meeting her for the first time at Kyoto, but that wasn't dwelled on much further due to other circumstances. However, she is pictured as one of Issei's brides in Chichigami's vision in Shin Volume 2, and she openly tries to have sex with him in the sauna - in front of Kunou, no less - in Shin Volume 3. |
| 324 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: She's basically an older Kunou with big breasts. |
| 325 | * YamatoNadeshiko: Japanese fox spirit, Japenese priestess and more-than-enough iron will. |

| 328 | [[folder:Fujimai]] |
| 329 | A nekoshou and mother to Kuroka and Koneko, and was once an acquaintance of Nurarihyon. |
| 330 | ---- |
| 331 | * {{Foil}}: To both of her daughters. Whereas Kuroka and Koneko are both infatuated with Issei, both are able to either use it to manipulate him or keep their desires under control to keep their independence. On the other hand, Fujimai was so smitten with the scientist who would become the former's father that she stood by him despite her love not really being reciprocated and being treated as a LustObject instead. She was so far gone, that she abandoned her daughters, just to continue being with him until their deaths at an experiment gone wrong. |
| 332 | * LustObject: The scientist she was infatuated with simply used her for sex and did not really care for her in any way. |
| 333 | * PosthumousCharacter: She was already dead before she was mentioned in story. |
| 334 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: Despite barely getting a mention in Volume 24, everything that Koneko and Kuroka went through was because she hid the data of the Artificial Super-Devil Project in one of Koneko's hair clips. |

| 337 | !Hindu-Buddhist Mythology |
| 338 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 339 | !!Tropes applying to all of them: |
| 340 | * CompositeCharacter: Very much like the different denominations of Christianity (and the Judeo-Christian faction in general), Ishibumi seems to combine the two myths into one to minimise the hassle. Also a case of ShownTheirWork, in that many of the Buddhist Gods (especially the Indian ones like Sakra Indra) are derived from the Hindu tradition. |
| 341 | * PowerLevels: WordOfGod states that their power levels are higher than anyone else because according to him, they can ''outright cheat'' their stuff and that if he really had to as a last resort, he will make an arc for them. |

| 360 | * WarForFunAndProfit: His true reason for siding with TheAlliance. That and to find people for recruitment purposes to defeat Shiva. |

| 557 | ->'''Species:''' Beast |
| 558 | |
| 559 | The NumberOfTheBeast and the GreaterScopeVillain of the story, having been sealed long ago by God and His allies. A beast of great power and destruction, Trihexa is a being whose abilities are on par with Ophis and Great Red, therefore making it one of the most powerful monsters (if not the most powerful) ever encountered in the series. |
| 560 | ---- |
| 561 | * BeastOfTheApocalypse: It perfectly fits the description. |
| 562 | * BishounenLine: Even when its main bodies are sealed, it can still manifest its consciousness as humanoid cores. |
| 563 | * TheDreaded: Though no one knows for sure, some do claim that it is powerful enough to ''match [[StoryBreakerPower Great Red.]]'' When Lilith confronts him after Azazel tells her to take care of him, her first instinct is that ''she's scared of him''. And she is the incarnation of somewhat over 1/4 of Ophis' powers. And when Shiva finally sees it, even he admits that he'd be unable to kill it. |
| 564 | * FinalBoss: After Rizevim dies, it becomes the final threat the heroes have to face in the fourth story saga. |
| 565 | * GenericDoomsdayVillain: Portrayed more as a nigh-unstoppable and invulnerable force of nature than a character. |
| 566 | * GreaterScopeVillain: Of the entire series. While not involved directly on the story, the impact that Trihexa had caused a great presence. It battled with the God and severely injured enough to kill him after its seal by the latter. It later becomes the greatest threat to the protagonists at the final volume. |
| 567 | * HealingFactor: Jabberwocky has ''nothing'' on this creature. Even its exposed cores can regenerate FromASingleCell. Even Ddraig's ultimate finishing move, a flame that burns eternally is little more than a nuisance, to an exposed core as it regenerates faster than the flames can burn it. |
| 568 | * MeaningfulName: Trihexa, Tri meaning 3 and Hexa from hexagon a 6 sided shape. It's name literally mean "three sixes", or [[NumberOfTheBeast 666]]. |
| 569 | * MixAndMatchCritter: As described in the bible, it's a mix of various animals both real and fictional. It can also separate into seven different bodies without any of the bodies losing any effective strength. |
| 570 | * MonsterProgenitor: As if Trihexa wasn't dangerous enough on its own, it can spit up eggs full of "fake Sekiryuutei" |
| 571 | * NumberOfTheBeast: And Rizevim wants him. |
| 572 | * PlayingWithFire: On several occasions it breathes walls of flame and massive fireballs. |
| 573 | * SealedEvilInADuel: Currently sealed away from other mythologies. Rizevim's death leads to him escaping, but the faction leaders end up resealing him again, following him into an artificial dimension where they will be in constant battle for the next few millennia, the following volume after nothing else works. |
