| 7 | !Demon King's Army |
| 8 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 9 | The major antagonistic force in the fantasy world. Under the Demon King's service are eight Generals who lead his soldiers and maintain a barrier around his castle. |
| 10 | ---- |
| 11 | * BarrierMaiden: Villainous examples; the Demon King is safe from the forces of good as long as his generals continue to uphold the barrier around his castle. Wiz posits that not even [[PhysicalGod Aqua]] could break in until over half of the generals are defeated. |
| 12 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: The generals are perverts, clowns, and everything in between, but can overwhelm all but the most powerful adventurers. |
| 13 | * EqualOpportunityEvil: The generals run the gamut from humans to undead to even angels. |
| 14 | * QuirkyMinibossSquad: From trolling devils to hermaphrodite chimeras, the generals are a riot, even for the Demon King himself. |
| 15 | [[/folder]] |
| 16 | [[folder:Demon King]] |
| 17 | !!The Demon King |
| 18 | |
| 19 | The leader of the army threatening the safety of the world, and the one that Kazuma and the gang (supposedly) seek to defeat. A mysterious figure, his presence is felt in nearly every dangerous encounter the main characters face. |
| 20 | ---- |
| 21 | * AdaptationSpeciesChange: [[spoiler:In the original Web Novel, it's revealed that he's a human who was one of many people reincarnated into the world by Aqua. In the Light Novel, he's a devil who was born into the world from the start]]. |
| 22 | * BeleagueredBoss: As it turns out, most of his generals are [[CaptainObvious eccentric and often unpleasant company]], and a large part of his job is making sure that they get along and [[SpannerInTheWorks don't accidentally sabotage his efforts]]. |
| 23 | * BenevolentBoss: He was pretty cool with Wiz being a shopkeep, as long as she continues keeping her part of the barrier up. [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]], as it later turns out that she was stealing magical items from his treasury to sell, so it may have been less this and more him [[ReassignedToAntarctica giving in so she can stop giving him headaches]]. |
| 24 | * BigBad: The main villain that's threatening the realm and defeating him is the party's end goal. He's [[OrcusOnHisThrone relegated to his throne]] for most of the story, but his very presence strengthens the monsters hunted by adventurers and is maintained through his generals. |
| 25 | * ContractualBossImmunity: Kazuma and Eris assume that as the FinalBoss, he's immune to OneHitKill skills or StandardStatusEffects. [[spoiler:However, Aqua can debuff him enough for Kazuma to manage a 1-on-1... [[ForgotAboutHisPowers after she's reminded that she has the godly power to do so]].]] |
| 26 | * DamageReduction: He takes minimal damage from non-magical attacks. Even after Aqua weakens him, he's barely fazed by Kazuma shooting an arrow in his head. |
| 27 | * {{Demonization}}: The Axis Cult makes it their duty to make sure the Demon King is the enemy of mankind, even spreading straight up MaliciousSlander to get on his bad side. |
| 28 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He seems to be fond of his daughter, who is one of his generals. When Kazuma uses "[[SignatureMove Steal]]" on him, he accidentally steals a handmade handkerchief made by her, and he flies into a rage after Kazuma callously throws it away. |
| 29 | * EvilOldFolks: By his own admission, he's well past his prime. |
| 30 | * EvilOverlord: Seems to be a pretty classic example of this. |
| 31 | * FairWeatherFriend: Wiz and Vanir see him as a boss and nothing more, and when Kazuma tells them he's going to the Demon King's castle and may confront him, they simply wish him well. They believe that fighting heroes who challenge him is part of the Demon King's job description, and if he is defeated [[MightMakesRight he simply wasn't powerful enough to hold his job]]. |
| 32 | * FinalBoss: As expected, he's the final challenge Kazuma's party faces to conclude the series-long quest. |
| 33 | * GivenNameReveal: His true name is finally revealed in the last chapters of the Web Novel and Light Novel: [[spoiler:Kouichi Sakaguchi.]] |
| 34 | * HiddenVillain: Most of what we know of him is second-hand knowledge. However, he is usually connected to every odd event the party finds themselves messed up in. In particular he [[spoiler:is looking for Aqua, wary of the "great light" that descended upon the world]]. |
| 35 | * HonorBeforeReason: [[spoiler:Eris convinces Kazuma to Teleport himself and the Demon King into a dungeon. The King could easily Teleport back to his castle to pick off Kazuma's allies, but his pride stops him from abandoning a one-on-one against a low-level Adventurer.]] |
| 36 | * HornedHumanoid: His pair of horns are noted as his only inhuman trait. |
| 37 | * MaouTheDemonKing: Obviously. He prefers [[OrcusOnHisThrone to let his men do the heavy lifting]], though. |
| 38 | * MeaningfulName: It's actually a pretty common one with no important meaning, but in the context of this world it is pretty significant, because it is a [[spoiler:Japanese]] name. [[spoiler:According to the guy himself, he is aware of Japan, but never was there since he's a demon. In the original Web Novel version of the story, he actually was from Japan and was another one of the people sent to that world by Aqua and used his cheat item to take over that world.]] |
| 39 | * MookDepletion: By the time they storm his castle, Kazuma and his companions have killed [[spoiler:half of his eight generals (Verdia, Hans, Sylvia, and Wolbach; the survivors either stopped actively supporting him or lost their powers), one candidate for the position of general (Duke), and had obliterated a large portion of his army.]] |
| 40 | * MookPromotion: This is his greatest power, the ability to turn any generic monster into a formidable foe just by being near them. |
| 41 | * OrcusOnHisThrone: Despite his generals being destroyed or turned against him thanks to the actions of the "[[RedBaron Billionaire Adventurer]]" and Axel BattleHarem, the Demon King does nothing except send more lieutenants to investigate the problem... who get defeated yet again. |
| 42 | * RiddleForTheAges: Why does he wage war with humanity [[spoiler:and have a Japanese name? Kazuma didn't care enough to refrain from firing an Explosion that killed them both. While the answer was left ambiguous in the Light Novel version of the story, the original Web Novel revealed that it was because he was actually a japanese human reincarnated into that world by Aqua and decided to use his "cheat item" to take over said world.]] |
| 43 | * SaneBossPsychoHenchmen: Played for laughs, as is typical for the series. When Kazuma has his final showdown with the Demon King, they share a brief moment of camaraderie when the latter mentions what a headache his so-called Demon Generals were. To whit, Wiz often stole things from the castle armory to stock her "shop" (due to her long-standing desire to be a shop-keeper), Vanir enjoyed winding people up to savour their [[EmotionEater negative emotions]], Verdia was a CovertPervert despite his knightly ways... This was part of the reason why the Demon King was perfectly content to allow Wiz to leave and set up shop in Axel so long as she continued to maintain the protective barrier around his castle: it was just one less headache for him to deal with. |
| 44 | * VillainsWantMercy: [[spoiler:When he sees Kazuma ready to fire off an Explosion that will kill them both (and there will be NoBodyLeftBehind for Aqua's Resurrection), he tries falling back on Kazuma's offer to call the fight a draw and return to his castle together, but Kazuma doesn't trust him because he wasn't willing to accept the draw offer before he realized his life was at risk. The Demon King then tries to entice him with more information on his background, but Kazuma bluntly says that he doesn't care and fires the spell.]] |
| 45 | * WeCanRuleTogether: Having seen Kazuma's cunning and resourcefulness first-hand near the end of their fight, he offers the adventurer a chance to join his army, but is upfront about Kazuma needing a curse of loyalty put on him as a condition. |
| 46 | * WeakButSkilled: Individually, he's not much more powerful than one of his generals, and [[FeelingTheirAge he's well past his prime]]. His true threat lies in buffing his generals to the point of basically having no weaknesses, and any monsters near him into a PraetorianGuard. |

| 52 | !!Beldia |
| 53 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/beldia_anime.png]] |
| 54 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HirokiYasumoto (Japanese), Creator/PatrickSeitz (English)[[labelnote: Foreign [=VAs=]]] Creator/ErickSelim (Latin American Spanish), José Polo (European Spanish), Simon Herlin (French), Hanns Jörg Krumpholz (German), Francisco Junior (Brazilian Portuguese)[[/labelnote]] |
| 55 | |
| 56 | The first general of the Demon Army encountered by the party, or at least the first to publicly proclaim themselves as such. Kazuma and Megumin accidentally provoked him when Megumin unwittingly used his castle to practice Explosion. Exceptionally durable and a skilled swordsman with a menacing appearance to boot, he is in every way a quintessential noble villain, or so it would seem. |
| 57 | ---- |
| 58 | * AbsurdlySharpBlade: His greatsword went through adventurers' armour like a hot knife through butter, until he fought [[StoneWall Darkness]]. |
| 59 | * AffablyEvil: He's a villain, but he was willing to leave the town of Axel alone because his sense of honor means he wants to avoid fighting weak enemies. He was initially willing to forgive Megumin for hitting his castle with explosion spells, until she refused to stop. |
| 60 | * AntiMagic: His armor was supposed to be this, but it wasn't as effective against Aqua because she's a goddess. Still, it was pretty good since her TurnUndead spell is normally a OneHitKill and he withstood multiple blasts of it, along with Megumin's Explosion and a massive deluge. |
| 61 | * ArcVillain: For episodes 4-6 of the anime. He was perfectly content to just sit back in his castle until Megumin started using it for Explosion practice. |
| 62 | * BackFromTheDead: In the Season 2 tie-in platformer, he somehow revives himself to take revenge on Kazuma and his party, but particularly Kazuma himself, who the general has come to see as a WorthyOpponent. After being defeated, he has a surprisingly respectful moment with his nemesis... [[spoiler:Before Aqua spoils the mood by killing him ''again'' out of the blue. Poor guy can't get a break.]] |
| 63 | * {{BFS}}: Wields a massive greatsword with ease. |
| 64 | * BigBadWannabe: Oh, how he tried! Beldia clearly wanted to be seen as a villain, in keeping with his role as a Demon General. Kazuma's party however, fail to take him seriously at all. |
| 65 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: Yes. Even a NobleDemon can get this. Despite being quite pitiful in nature, he's one of the few people to have a confirmed kill... and he is directly responsible for Wiz being forced to abandon her humanity. |
| 66 | * CardCarryingVillain: Beldia plays his role as Demon General straight to the hilt, setting up shop in a decrepit castle and daring adventurers to attack him when his warnings are ignored. When he shows up a week later, he angrily complains that no one bothered to attack him; the manga reveals that he was actually eagerly awaiting an adventuring party, going so far as to have his minions set up a banquet in anticipation. |
| 67 | * TheComicallySerious: He tries to come off as threatening, but his LargeHam tendencies and the goofiness of the situations around him turn him into this. |
| 68 | * CovertPervert: Despite his claims of not being a pervert, he really is one, as Wiz revealed that he would peek up her dress by rolling his head under it. However, he is still not at the level of Darkness. |
| 69 | * CurbStompBattle: Easily cut down a group of unlucky adventurers who tried to fight him. |
| 70 | * DamageSpongeBoss: It required an [[FantasticNuke Explosion]], [[GiantWallOfWateryDoom Sacred Create Water]], and three castings of [[TurnUndead Sacred Turn Undead]] to defeat him. |
| 71 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 72 | ** Was disgusted when he believed that Kazuma's party would just let Darkness die. He then found out that Kazuma's party had no reason to attack, since Darkness was cured minutes after he cursed her. |
| 73 | ** Despite his aforementioned perversion, he is repulsed by Darkness' penchant for masochism and her captivity fantasies. |
| 74 | * GiantEyeOfDoom: When he throws his head into the sky to execute his FlashStep combat technique, it creates an effect that looks like the [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Eye of Sauron]]. |
| 75 | * HeadlessHorseman: As befits a Dullahan. Even his horse is headless. |
| 76 | * HumiliationConga: His castle becomes daily target practice for Megumin's Explosion, he loses his entire army of undead to her, and is repeatedly hammered by TurnUndead and [[KillItWithWater water spells]]. Also, all his acts of villainy are easily reversed by Aqua and he is ultimately dispatched when his head is stolen by Kazuma. He also ignores his plea to give him his head back and uses it to teach the townspeople to play ''soccer'', leaving his body inactive and defenceless. |
| 77 | * KillItWithWater: Dousing him with water decreases his defense and causes significant damage. |
| 78 | * KnightOfCerebus: Subverted. He certainly seems like a serious opponent initially, but the fight with him, despite being tough, is still full of silliness. |
| 79 | * LargeHam: Bombastic in speech, as part of his apparent attempts to play up his villain persona. |
| 80 | * LightningBruiser: Fast, hard-hitting, and tremendously resilient to damage (he survived Megumin's explosion spell). |
| 81 | * NobleDemon: He was once a noble knight and follows a code of honor. He came to Axel to investigate the mysterious holy aura that suddenly appeared (Aqua), and was perfectly willing to leave the newbie adventurers in the town alone if they'd just stay out of his way. He was surprisingly reasonable about being continually harassed by Megumin, but snapped after having to deal with the party's antics for too long. |
| 82 | * NoodleIncident: Nobody knows what was he doing in the castle, though it is implied that he was attracted to [[WeirdnessMagnet Aqua's presence]]. |
| 83 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Not a ''legitimate'' authority figure, but serves as a general in the Demon King's forces and is probably Axel's feudal lord from their perspective. He also shows a shocking level of patience towards the group (more than they usually get from allies, let alone each other), giving them every opportunity to resolve the situation without violence. |
| 84 | * RedBaron: ''The Hero Slayer''. |
| 85 | * SuperToughness: He survived Aqua's TurnUndead and its stronger variant, and a hit from Megumin's explosion spell. He only dies after his defense is weakened from Aqua dousing him with water. |
| 86 | * ThisCannotBe: Numerous times in the final battle. |
| 87 | * VillainHasAPoint: Rightly states he wasn't giving Axel any trouble, and that Megumin had been blasting his castle anyways. That point is a bit undermined by the fact that he was keeping monsters - and, thus, adventure jobs - away from the town by his sheer presence, though given that adventurers solve ''threats'', that's still debatable. |
| 88 | * VillainsWantMercy: After Kazuma got his hands on Beldia's head. |
| 89 | -->'''Beldia:''' Ex, excuse me... Can you.. return my head back to me...?\ |
| 90 | '''Kazuma:''' Hey everyone, let's play soccer! Soccer is... Soccer is--! A game that forbids the use of hands and only using your feet to control the ball--! |
| 91 | * WakeUpCallBoss: He is very competent and requires teamwork to be brought down, though he does not become a KnightOfCerebus. |
| 92 | * WasOnceAMan: He was once a noble knight who was unjustly beheaded, with his grudge tethering him to the world and reanimating his corpse. |
| 93 | * WeaksauceWeakness: He's weak to [[HolyHandGrenade holy magic]] because he is an undead. In practice this is partially why he's weak against Aqua. |
| 94 | * WorthyOpponent: As a Dullahan, a noble undead knight, he greatly respects Darkness, a crusader... if only she would stop talking, because her masochism weirds him out. |
| 95 | ** In the Season 2 blu-ray tie-in platformer, he comes to see Kazuma as this as well. |
| 96 | * YourMindMakesItReal: His death curse magic works this way. You have to hear the manner of your death, and believe it. If you do, your death prophecy comes true, unless Beldia is destroyed first or the curse is broken by holy magic. |

| 115 | |
| 116 | The primary antagonist of Volume 4, and a general in the Demon King's army. |
| 117 | ---- |
| 118 | * AdaptationalBadass: In the novels, [[spoiler:he's blown to bits by Megumin, then said bits are frozen and shattered by Wiz.]] In the anime, [[spoiler:he survives all this, instead reduced to a diminutive state that would regain his full size if he ate enough people. It takes Aqua empowered by her Axis Cult to finish him off.]] |
| 119 | * ArcVillain: He's the villain that Kazuma's party faces in Volume 4, which is adapted in the last episodes of season 2. |
| 120 | * AnArmAndALeg: After Wiz freezes one of his arms to restrain him, he simply hacks off the limb to free himself. This hardly bothers him as a slime monster, though, because GoodThingYouCanHeal is in effect for him. |
| 121 | * TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:Because Aqua used God Requiem to defeat him, Alcanretia's hot springs were purified into regular hot water, rendering them useless to the town as a source of income. Thus, he ''technically'' accomplished his mission from the Demon King despite falling in battle.]] [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Later on however]], it's revealed that the springs didn't simply turn into hot water, but hot ''holy'' water. In the novel epilogue, it's mentioned that they had amazing effects like healing injuries, and [[HolyBurnsEvil damaging undeads]], and would produce much greater profit than the hot springs.]] |
| 122 | * BigEater: He feels an instinct to eat compulsively and has no qualms about indulging himself. |
| 123 | * BlobMonster: He's a Slime -- specifically, a [[PoisonousPerson Poison Slime]] -- so his natural form is a mass of toxic purple goo that can morph its semi-liquid body as he likes. |
| 124 | * DamageSpongeBoss: First Megumin cast ''Explosion'' on him. He survived it. Then Wiz cast ''Cursed Crystal Prison'' on him. He survived it. Aqua used ''God Blow''. He survived it. It ultimately took a fourth super attack, a maximum strength ''God Requiem'', to finally kill him. |
| 125 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: While he can [[ExtremeOmnivore eat just about anything]], he has a particular distaste for the soap used by the Axis Cult, likely because they kept forcing it on him while he was undercover. |
| 126 | * ExtremeOmnivore: Of the "can eat anything" variety. |
| 127 | * FeralVillain: Once he reverts to his true slime form, he's only driven by instinct to eat everyone around him. |
| 128 | * GoodThingYouCanHeal: He can repair any damage to himself by eating. |
| 129 | * TheGoomba: Subverted. You'd think that like in dozens of [=RPGs=], a slime like him would be this, or at least a MetalSlime. Instead, he is a really competent and dangerous villain who serves as one of the Demon King's generals. |
| 130 | * GrimyWater: His poison turns the hot springs in Alcanretia into this. Once polluted, only Aqua can touch the water without getting killed, and even then, it causes her immense pain. |
| 131 | * HumansAreInsects: Sees humans as nothing more than an annoyance, on a good day. |
| 132 | * ItsWhatIDo: He casually admits to eating the actual manager of Alcanretia's hot spring source, saying that it's simply in his nature as a slime to devour everything (it also let him transform into the manager to avoid suspicion). [[spoiler:Wiz doesn't take this well...]] |
| 133 | * KillAndReplace: He did this [[spoiler:with the manager of the hot springs,]] as he's done with countless other victims, much to Wiz's anger. |
| 134 | * KillItWithIce: As a MuckMonster, he is invulnerable to physical attacks and simply shrugs off most magic. It takes having his liquid body frozen by Wiz to incapacitate him. |
| 135 | * LiterallyShatteredLives: [[spoiler:After being frozen by Wiz, he is subjected to this in an attempt to finally eliminate him. It's averted, however, when it turns out that this only blew off most of his mass, and he still managed to survive, albeit in a diminished state.]] |
| 136 | * MadnessMantra: In the movie when [[spoiler:Sylvia nearly dies and meets the souls of Hans and Verdia, Hans keeps repeating soap and how he's clean, obviously traumatized]]. |
| 137 | * MuckMonster: He is actually a sentient slime monster who works for the Demon King and is on a mission to poison Alcanretia's hot springs to deprive them of their source of income. |
| 138 | * NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:After revealing that he survived being [[KillItWithIce frozen]] and [[LiterallyShatteredLives shattered]], Hans seemed poised to consume everyone present and [[GoodThingYouCanHeal heal himself]]. It takes Aqua being augmented by the faith of the Axis Cult to finally defeat him.]] |
| 139 | ** As revealed in the second ''Continued Explosions'' SpinOff,[[note]]where he suffered a different fate in the novels than in the anime[[/note]] he [[spoiler:survived Megumin's explosion, though greatly weakened and suffering from amnesia. Though Megumin also seems to have forgotten who he was, and finishes him off with another explosion soon after he regains his memories]]. |
| 140 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: While he is only a slime, it was a really bad idea for Kazuma to underestimate him. [[spoiler:In battle, he tanked Megumin's Explosion with little ill effects and was capable of making Wiz expend all of her magic power. Despite that, he ''still remained standing'', albeit in a diminished state. It takes Aqua's God Requiem, augmented by the collective faith of the Axis Cult, to finally defeat him. Were it not for that, he would have devoured everyone present and easily regained his power and size again.]] |
| 141 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: He could have very easily wiped out the entire city of Alcanretia by himself, or at the very least made it inhospitable for a long period of time. |
| 142 | * PoisonIsCorrosive: His toxins are capable of dissolving rocks, as well as flesh and muscle, [[spoiler:as Kazuma can attest to]]. |
| 143 | * PoisonousPerson: He is highly toxic and corrosive in his true form. |
| 144 | * TooDumbToLive: It was a pretty bad idea to mention that he ate a person in front of Wiz, a powerful Lich who does not tolerate civilian casualties. |
| 145 | * ToServeMan: On a bad day, he eats people. Not that he needs to. |
| 146 | * VillainousBreakdown: He has a hugely epic one after Wiz's BerserkButton was pushed. |

| 154 | The primary antagonist of Volume 5 and "[[TheMovie Legend of Crimson]]". A Growth Chimera who goes after the Crimson Clan village to seize a weapon of doom for the Demon King. |
| 155 | ---- |
| 156 | * AdaptationalBadass: In the light novels, she meets her demise when she gets shot by the fully charged weapon that she [[KryptoniteFactor was specifically weak to]]. In TheMovie, she manages to ''survive'' this blast and [[spoiler:brings Verdia and Hans back to life, assimilating them in the process. It ultimately takes the combined efforts of the main cast, Vanir, Wiz and the ''entire'' Crimson Demon Clan to put her down]]. |
| 157 | * AdaptationalCurves: She is described as having a modest sized chest in the light novel. In the anime, her breasts are larger than most characters' heads. |
| 158 | * AdaptationalNiceGirl: In the anime, she gets some added moments where we see she genuinely cares for her minions, praising them for their devotion against the Crimson Demons. [[spoiler:After fusing with the Mage Killer, she even saves them from a barrage spells that would have killed them.]] |
| 159 | * AdaptationalSkimpiness: In the light novel and manga versions of the story, while her dress does get damaged in the centipede transformation, it remained mostly intact. In the anime move, the dress gets destroyed, leaving her with several scales covering her breasts in the form of a halter top and goes up another level in skimpiness in her next transformation with each of her breasts being just covered by one scale. |
| 160 | * AffablyEvil: She genuinely likes Kazuma, and in the anime is a BenevolentBoss. Pity she is also an AxCrazy murderer. |
| 161 | * AllYourPowersCombined: Her ability to fuse herself with anything gives her this but it's especially in effect when she [[spoiler:assimilates Verdia and Hans from the brink of death, not only resurrecting them but also giving her access to their powers]]. |
| 162 | * AntiMagic: She was stationed as the Demon King Army Boss in charge of subjugating the Crimson Magic village due to her very high magic resistance, even placing herself in front of her troops to block incoming spells. Not that it helped them much. Gets much worse [[spoiler:once she fuses with the Crimson Clan's anti-magic weapon.]] |
| 163 | * ArcVillain: She's faced and defeated by Kazuma's party in Volume 5, which is adapted into TheMovie. |
| 164 | * ArtificialHuman: While she appears humanoid, she is in fact an artificially-created construct. |
| 165 | * AssimilationBackfire: [[spoiler:In "Legend of Crimson", she absorbs a willing Kazuma into her form. However, doing so allows Kazuma to lower her barrier, letting Megumin and Yunyun [[TakingYouWithMe blast Sylvia and Kazuma into dust]]. Lucky for Kazuma that Aqua can bring him back to life.]] |
| 166 | * AxCrazy: Kazuma suspects that she was driven off the deep end by dealing with the Crimson Magic Clan so much. When she finally gets to launch a real assault on the village [[spoiler:after assimilating with the "Mage Killer"]] she completely loses it. The constant taunts, over-the-top speeches, and TeleportSpam only makes her more unhinged. |
| 167 | * BarehandedBladeBlock: Kazuma's rage over her [[MomentKiller interrupting his bedtime with Megumin]] comes to an abrupt end when she nonchalantly stops Chunchunmaru with two fingers. |
| 168 | * BenevolentBoss: In the anime, Sylvia doesn't treat her army as expendable tools. She is very fond of her minions, both praising them for their dedication and shielding from Crimson Demons in combat. Minions, in return, just adore her. |
| 169 | * BerserkButton: Traitors really set her off. |
| 170 | * BuxomBeautyStandard: Kazuma ends up ''enjoying'' it when Sylvia takes him hostage because [[MarshmallowHell she sandwiches his head right in between her big boobs]]. |
| 171 | * CameBackStrong: In the movie, [[spoiler:Sylvia is blasted with the Railgun and almost dies, but her NearDeathExperience causes her to somehow fuse with the souls of Beldia and Hans. She then resurrects herself as a giant monster that's a combination of a chimera, a dullahan and a poisonous slime.]] |
| 172 | * DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the light novels and manga, [[spoiler:Sylvia is killed when she's shot with the Railgun designed to destroy the Mage Killer.]] In the movie, on the other hand, [[spoiler:Sylvia survives the Railgun's blast and fuses with Beldia and Hans. Through Kazuma's strategy, she's killed by a CombinationAttack from Megumin and Yunyun.]] |
| 173 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: She's appalled at how quickly Kazuma gives her access to the Mage Killer before she even starts trying to seduce him after her UnsettlingGenderReveal. |
| 174 | * FusionDance: She has the ability to fuse herself with any monster or magic item she deems "interesting." Her entire goal in raiding the Crimson Magic Clan village was to do this to [[spoiler:a weapon called "Mage Killer" developed by the same guy that made the Mobile Fortress Destroyer]] to eventually wipe out the Crimson Magic Clan that the Demon King saw as a threat. [[spoiler:In TheMovie, she merges with the souls of Verdia and Hans, achieving a new form altogether.]] |
| 175 | * GeneralFailure: Her plans to defeat the Crimson Demons consist of launching ZergRush after ZergRush that ends with her minions slaughtered by the Crimson Demons' powerful magic. In the anime, her minions actually love in spite of this, and she thanks for their dedication despite sending them against the Crimson Demons. [[spoiler:And even then she only got the Mage Killer, it was only because Kazuma panicked and vault it was kept in.]] |
| 176 | * {{Hermaphrodite}}: Thanks to her FusionDance abilities, she has body parts from both genders, much to Kazuma's dismay. She casually mentions that the girl parts specifically were added later. |
| 177 | * HoistByHerOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Ultimately, the only reason she loses in TheMovie is by her [[AssimilationBackfire fusing with Kazuma]] and him using the opportunity to bring down her barrier at the right moment.]] |
| 178 | * HybridMonster: In the movie, [[spoiler:due to fusing with Beldia and Hans, she turns into a chimera-dullahan-slime monster.]] |
| 179 | * IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Took Kazuma hostage when he and Megumin confronted her during her midnight raid on the village. Partly to taunt and frustrate Megumin and the others, and partly because Kazuma was her type, she even used Bind to tie him to her and made her escape with him in tow. {{Subverted}} in that she actually let Kazuma go once she had her fun to pay him back for him letting her go the day before. Although once she found out Kazuma could open the door to the mysterious building that not even her top-tier Barrier Killer could breach she pulled this again to get him to open the door...by promising him pleasure. While she meant it to be gentle persuasion instead of a threat, Kazuma instantly opened the door as he had learned all too well by this point that she had guy parts downstairs. She was actually pretty put out that he caved so fast before she could even do anything. |
| 180 | * IJustWantToBeLoved: To the point of being a FatalFlaw in the movie. [[spoiler:Kazuma plays her like a fiddle by exploiting this trait of hers but even when she's dying she announces that despite Kazuma toying with her feelings, she still loves him.]] |
| 181 | * TheJuggernaut: After fusing with the "Mage Killer". She's very, ''very'' tough, virtually nothing could slow her down in the slightest. |
| 182 | * LadyInRed: She's a very sensual and buxom woman wearing a form-fitting red dress. |
| 183 | * LoveMakesYouDumb: [[spoiler:Kazuma takes advantage of her desperation for love beyond her goblin soldiers by willingly merging with her and flirting to make her lose focus on her barrier, allowing Megumin and Yunyun to finish her off. She goes out declaring that she still loves him even after he toyed with her heart.]] |
| 184 | * MarshmallowHell: Subjects Kazuma to this. He initially likes it until he learns she is a {{Hermaphrodite}}. |
| 185 | * MixAndMatchCritter: She's a chimera, with the powers and abilities of many different monsters. |
| 186 | * NoSell: Kazuma charges at her with his sword in a blind rage, only for her to stop the attack cold by using two fingers to grab his sword. He clearly realized how screwed [[OhCrap he was]]. |
| 187 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: Comes as an inept GeneralFailure, launching [[ZergRush human wave tactics]] against the Crimson Demons, which only get her minions slaughtered and send her running scared. [[spoiler:Then she merges with the "Mage Killer" weapon, and almost single handedly wipes out the Crimson Demons.]] |
| 188 | * OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:In the anime, after being blasted and nearly dying, she fused with the souls of Verdia and Hans, turning into a giant amalgam of all three villains with all of their powers.]] |
| 189 | * ThePowerOfLove: [[spoiler:In the Movie, she creates a barrier powered by Love, Hope, and Dreams to block Yunyun and Megumin's super-charged combination attack. It would have held out against it entirely, had Kazuma not lowered it.]] |
| 190 | * RageBreakingPoint: As if she didn't have a grudge against the Crimson clan to begin with, their TeleportSpam trickery made her go completely batshit crazy with rage. |
| 191 | * SexySlitDress: She wears a sexy red dress with a long slit showing her left leg. |
| 192 | * StatuesqueStunner: She's so tall that she has to pull Kazuma well off the ground for his face to just reach her cleavage. |
| 193 | * ThisIsGoingToSuck: Once she realized that Megumin's "ultimate attack" wasn't just for show like everyone else, and the [[KryptoniteFactor one weapon]] that could kill her was fully charged, and about to be fired upon her. |
| 194 | * UniversallyBelovedLeader: In the anime. She treats her underlings with kindness and respect, and they are completely devoted to her inspite of her use of them in futile assaults on the Crimson Demons. |
| 195 | * UnsettlingGenderReveal: Kazuma is thrilled about getting MarshmallowHell from Sylvia until she casually reveals she has male body parts too and Kazuma realizes one of those parts is poking him from behind. |
| 196 | * VillainousCrush: She fell in love with Kazuma, TheProtagonist. [[spoiler:In the Movie, upon realizing that Kazuma only merged with her to bring down her barrier, she admits that, although betrayed, she still loves him]]. |

| 200 | !!Wolbach |
| 201 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wolbach_anime.png]] |
| 202 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukoKaida (Japanese), Creator/RebaBuhr (English)[[labelnote: Foreign [=VAs=]]] Creator/CarlaCastaneda (Latin American Spanish), Isabel Garrido (European Spanish), Yaëlle Labartino (French), Peggy Pollow (German), Aline Ghezzi (Brazilian Portuguese)[[/labelnote]] |
| 203 | |
| 204 | A woman Kazuma first meets in the Axis Cult town of Alancretia. She's actually a master wizard/possible [[PhysicalGod Physical Goddess]], general of the Demon King's Army, and the one who inspired a very young Megumin to master explosion magic. |
| 205 | ---- |
| 206 | * AffablyEvil: She's very calm and polite, never ''initiating'' violence against Kazuma, at least not intentionally. If he's collateral damage on her target though... |
| 207 | * AlasPoorVillain: Despite being their enemy, Kazuma, Megumin and Yunyun all feel bad about having to fight her since she was a friend to each of them at some point in the past, and the only real reason they're fighting is because they're nominally on opposing sides. Even to the bitter end, Kazuma tries to convince her to stand down [[DontMakeMeDestroyYou so they don't have to kill her]]. |
| 208 | * AnimalMotifs: Cats. Naturally befitting of the 'self-proclaimed' goddess of [[CatsAreLazy Sloth]] and [[CatsAreMean Violence.]] |
| 209 | * ArcVillain: She's the general that faces Kazuma's party in Volume 9. |
| 210 | * BathingBeauty: Kazuma meets her when she's enjoying a bath at a hot spring and he very much enjoys the sight of her nakedness. Not only that, but she actively seeks out saunas to bathe in. |
| 211 | * BoringButPractical: Her primary tactic is walking up to the target, unleashing Explosion from a distance, and then teleporting away before the target can retaliate. |
| 212 | * ButForMeItWasTuesday: Combined with ForgottenFirstMeeting. Despite remembering Yunyun, and being constantly questioned by Megumin, she claims to have no memory of their meeting [[spoiler:wherein she subdued her other half after Megumin accidentally unsealed it.]] |
| 213 | * BuxomBeautyStandard: Her massive breasts are eye candy for Kazuma and an object of envy for the flat-chested Megumin. |
| 214 | * ChekhovsGunman: She appears at first as a random background character in Alcanretia, and the only indication of her being a member of the Demon King's army was that Hans[[note]]Who was suspicious, but not revealed to be a General yet at that point[[/note]] was casually chatting with her. Her actual status wasn't revealed until Volume 9: Five volumes later. |
| 215 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "Dou iu koto nano?" ("What's the meaning of this?") |
| 216 | * ContrivedCoincidence: If Kazuma walks into a sauna, no matter how remote the location, he's going to encounter her. It doesn't work if he's expecting it, however. |
| 217 | * CreateYourOwnHero: She taught Megumin about the Explosion spell and became her inspiration to single-mindedly devote herself to said magic. [[spoiler:When they meet again after years, Megumin uses the Explosion spell to kill Wolbach.]] |
| 218 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Both her hair and eyes are red. |
| 219 | * {{Doppelmerger}}: [[spoiler:Wolbach and Chomusuke were originally the same entity, but they were split after being sealed. At the end of Volume 9, Kazuma hypothesizes that Wolbach has been absorbed into Chomusuke, her other half, after her defeat, given that the cat was now more receptive to baths and responded to Kazuma calling her "Wolbach".]] |
| 220 | * FatalFlaw: Her domain of Sloth proves to be her undoing. When Kazuma's party gets involved in the defense of the fortress she's attacking, she's too slow to pick up on how dangerous they are, and as a result they turn what was initially a long-drawn out CurbStompBattle in her favor into a sudden comeback victory for humanity. Even after she picks up on how dangerous Kazuma is and decides to personally target him, she still underestimates him and gets a face full of dynamite for her trouble. [[spoiler:Her death ultimately comes about because Megumin is able to instantly cast Explosion, allowing her to cast before Wolbach can finish the chant for her own.]] |
| 221 | * AGodAmI: Wolbach calls herself the "Goddess of Sloth and Violence" and claims that the Axis Cult named her an "Evil God" on their own volition. Naturally, she and Aqua have a rather heated argument about the whole thing. |
| 222 | * HavingABlast: She's one of the few known users of Explosion, and unintentionally inspired Megumin to focus on it at the expense of any other magic. |
| 223 | * HornedHumanoid: Wolbach is seen to have goat-like horns protruding from the sides of her head while serving as a Demon King's General, although whether or not these are natural or are merely decorative items is unknown. |
| 224 | * ItsPersonal: She initially has no grudge with Kazuma and his group, offering to let them go repeatedly if they would just stay out of her way. That all changed when she realized Kazuma was directly responsible for the defeat of several Demon Generals whom she considers TrueCompanions. The circumstances of the battles don't matter to her. |
| 225 | * MsFanservice: She's a beautiful woman with very large breasts and is repeatedly shown bathing. |
| 226 | * MuggingTheMonster: Threatens [[PhysicalGod Aqua]] with "divine retribution" for mocking and impersonating a god, and calls the Axis Cult insane to her face. |
| 227 | * NakedFirstImpression: Kazuma meets her in a sauna at Alancretia while she's bathing in the mixed baths, speaking with Hans. At that point in time, Kazuma was a perfect gentleman, and complied with the proper mixed-bathing etiquette, to the letter. (Though since [[LovableSexManiac he spent the entire time staring at her,]] it's clear he didn't respect the spirit.) |
| 228 | * NoBodyLeftBehind: [[spoiler:Even with the firepower of Megumin's Explosion, Kazuma finds it odd that a General would be destroyed without a trace. Some later changes in Chomusuke's behavior imply that she was asssimilated into her other half.]] |
| 229 | * NoodleIncident: At some time in the past, she met another Satou who was also a legendary hero opposing the Demon King. She thinks the two of them are related. Kazuma has no idea what she's talking about. [[spoiler:It's entirely possible that Satou was the legendary [[IWorkAlone loner]] hero who fought then became the Demon King.]] |
| 230 | * OnlySaneWoman: During Kazuma's fight with the Demon King, the former notes that she was the only General with a proper head on her shoulders, and the latter laments that she was the only one who wasn't a headache to keep around at his castle. |
| 231 | * PetTheDog: Multiple: |
| 232 | ** The first was when Megumin was a young girl, and she saved her from a large and feral Chomusuke with Explosion magic, inspiring Megumin to dedicate herself to that single spell. |
| 233 | ** The second was after Yunyun left Axel, and she offered to become Yunyun's companion. |
| 234 | ** The next happened in the two [[ContrivedCoincidence times she and Kazuma met in a hot spring]], and they listened to each other's problems. |
| 235 | * PointyEars: She has pointy elf-like ears. |
| 236 | * PunchClockVillain: She really doesn't have a grudge against Kazuma's party; she's just attacking certain strategic targets under orders from the Demon King, at least until the ItsPersonal entry comes to bear. |
| 237 | * TheScapegoat: After her seal is broken, the adults of the Crimson Magic Clan are quick to blame anything they mess up on her. |
| 238 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: The moment she realizes Aqua is the real deal, she teleports away, [[spoiler:right as soon as Aqua finishes casting her mightiest spell.]] |
| 239 | * {{Teleportation}}: She knows the Teleport spell, which she used to basically escape whenever she exhausted her mana using Explosion magic. |
| 240 | * UnknownRival: She greatly resents Aqua due to the Axis Cult branding her as an "evil god" in the distant past and ruining her reputation as a legitimate goddess. Aqua, for her part, claims to have never heard of a minor goddess by the name of "Wolbach," and continues to dismiss her as being weak and useless even after noticing [[spoiler:what little divine essence Wolbach had left.]] |
| 241 | * VillainsOutShopping: She enjoys going out to frequent hot springs, especially the ones in [[HealingSpring Alcanretia]]. At first she claims that it's to recuperate from losing her other half, but otherwise seems to just enjoy it. |
| 242 | * WorfHadTheFlu: She was drastically weakened due to [[spoiler:her divine essence]] being split into two bodies, [[spoiler:to the point that Kazuma was able to badly injure her with his home-brewed, Detonate-level dynamite.]] |
| 243 | * YourDaysAreNumbered: Part of the reason why she and her followers are so desperate to recover her other half - [[spoiler:her physical form is at risk of fading out of existence without the other half of her divine essence to stabilize her.]] |

| 246 | [[folder:Celestina AKA Serena]] |
| 247 | !!Celestina AKA Serena |
| 248 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_1008.png]] |
| 249 | |
| 250 | A mysterious priestess who professes to be Kazuma's number one fan and asks to join his party, putting her at odds against Aqua. Her true identity is Celestina; a priestess in the service of Regina, the dark goddess of puppetry and vengeance. Celestina is the seventh of the Demon King's eight generals that Kazuma meets, and the highest-ranking human in his service. |
| 251 | ---- |
| 252 | * AttackReflector: Her Curse of Vengeance returns any damage dealt to her back to her assailant. As Kazuma learns, this also applies to indirectly caused damage (such as startling her so she spills a hot drink on herself). |
| 253 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: When she finally makes Kazuma into her puppet, her first order is for him to "let go of his inhibitions" and "seek out vengeance". The thing is, the person who Kazuma wanted vengeance against the most at the time was Serena (for hurting Aqua). As a result, instead of a loyal puppet, he becomes TheMillstone, subjects her to all his unrestrained vices, and leaves her starving, broke, and near-powerless. |
| 254 | * CallBack: Wiz reveals her identity in the exact same way she revealed Hans's. |
| 255 | * CardCarryingVillain: Quite literally! She states in no uncertain terms that a goddess that seeks to bind people in servitude can only be called a "dark goddess", and it's reflected on her adventurer's card, which calls her a "Dark Priest". |
| 256 | * CigaretteOfAnxiety: She smokes partly because of addiction, and partly as a coping mechanism. |
| 257 | * EngineeredHeroics: She presents herself as a more competent priest than Aqua by stopping some zombies with her Turn Undead after Aqua’s failed. In reality, the “zombies” were just corpses manipulated by her puppetry, so they weren’t weren’t technically undead to be susceptible to Aqua. |
| 258 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: When she finally manages to make Kazuma her puppet, her first commandment was for him to "seek out vengeance." What Serena intended was for Kazuma to lash out against his party and the town for all the trouble they, especially Aqua, [[WithFriendsLikeThese regularly put him through]]. She never realized that Kazuma genuinely sees his party as TrueCompanions, and that the whole reason why he's going through all the trouble of opposing her is to punish her for making Aqua cry. This ultimately leads to her downfall, as this very first commandment lets Kazuma subject Serena to a brutal HumiliationConga that ends with her disgraced, destitute and powerless. |
| 259 | * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The powers granted to her by her patron deity Regina are this. Celestina is capable of animating an army consisting of hundreds of corpses as if they were literal marionettes, [[note]]said corpses are completely immune to the effects of holy magic, including Aqua's massively over-powered Turn Undead, since they're just the regular kind of dead[[/note]] and anyone who harms her is struck by divine vengeance, no matter how indirect the method of attack. |
| 260 | * FailedASpotCheck: She apparently didn't realize that Kazuma went through with [[LevelDrain resetting her level to 1]] until she tried-- and failed-- to cast her high-level priestess magic. |
| 261 | * HoistByHerOwnPetard: Serena taking Kazuma as her puppet ''greatly backfires'' on her. Not only does he not follow any of her orders and instead fulfills his own (usually perverted) desires, but Kazuma's "servitude" causes Serena to lose all her other followers, destroys her reputation among the locals, and leaves her starving and broke. It gets to the point where she has to outright beg the rest of Kazuma's party to take him back and use the Anti-Puppet potion on him. |
| 262 | * HumiliationConga: The entirety of Volume 15 involves Kazuma pranking her with only the most literal definitions of "harmless" in mind, and then being absolutely useless when she finally does make him her puppet. Volume 16 caps it off when she gets captured and sexually harassed by a bunch of [[TheFundamentalist Axis Cult fundamentalists]], and Kazuma lets her know the only way to get off the hook is by [[spoiler:converting to the Axis Cult]]. |
| 263 | * {{Irony}}: Serena turns Kazuma into her puppet with the intention of making him her loyal, obedient slave. However, Kazuma precedes to not follow any of her orders and instead decides to fulfill his own perverted desires in order to remain obedient. Eventually, Serena is forced to follow Kazuma's every whim as "compensation" for his loyalty and servitude. As a result, Kazuma ends up living a lavish life as Serena's "servant" whilst Serena becomes starved, broke, and humiliated, essentially becoming the loyal servant to her own puppet. |
| 264 | * LaserGuidedKarma: |
| 265 | ** Her powers naturally invoke this, with any damage dealt to her being dealt back to her attacker even if they haven't physically attacked her. |
| 266 | ** In a roundabout way, she could be seen as dishing this out to Aqua. Back in Volume 11, Aqua cruelly dealt a God Blow to Lucy, a follower of Regina, just as she was about to peacefully pass on. Serena turning up in Volume 15 and completely ruining Aqua's reputation as a priest could be seen as Serena getting revenge on Aqua for how she handled a fellow Regina cultist (not that she actually knew about said cultist though). |
| 267 | ** This gets applied to Serena herself in Volume 15. After ruining Aqua's reputation, Kazuma under Serena's control as a puppet ends up ruining her own reputation and is forced through a volume-long HumiliationConga. In the end, she's forced to beg Aqua herself for the potion to break her "control" since Kazuma actively resists her own attempts to break it. |
| 268 | ** Her fate in Volume 16. Given her powerset involves turning people into loyal servants out of gratitude, it is only appropriate that Serena [[spoiler:is forcibly indoctrinated as a loyal servant for the Axis Cult]]. |
| 269 | * LevelDrain: Kazuma gives her a potion which resets her level to 1. Because of her AttackReflector ability, it also resets Kazuma's level to 1. |
| 270 | * LogicalWeakness: Despite her AttackReflector ability, she has an unfavorable matchup against Darkness, who not only has the [[SuperStrength means]] and [[ItsPersonal desire]] to inflict excruciating pain on Serena, but also [[CombatSadomasochist enjoys recieving pain herself]]. |
| 271 | * OneHitKill: She has the high-level priestess spell "Death", which has [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the exact effect you think it would]]. Fortunately, [[spoiler:DeathIsCheap for [[TheyKilledKennyAgain Kazuma]]]]. |
| 272 | * PeoplePuppets: Her powers allow her to turn anyone who's grateful to her into her puppet, which effectively lasts until she makes them return the favor. |
| 273 | * PityTheKidnapper: After Serena makes Kazuma into her puppet, he ends up not following any of her orders while using her for his own perverted desires. Kazuma then puts Serena through a volume-long HumiliationConga so bad that by the end, she's begging the rest of Kazuma's party to take him back. |
| 274 | * SinisterMinister: A priestess working for the Demon King. |
| 275 | * SpannerInTheWorks: Kazuma completely believes her story about the Demon King, until Wiz (who has nothing but good intentions) shows up and reveals her identity, and Vanir (who never has good intentions) shows up and threatens to reveal everything else. |
| 276 | * TokenHuman: The only human in the Demon King's inner circle, unless you count Verdia and Wiz, who are undead. |

| 285 | * InformedAbility: She's allegedly the strongest General working under her father, but never directly confronts the protagonists to display so. [[spoiler:In the finale, she loses to Iris in an unseen fight, and then gets scared away from her castle by Megumin's manatite-fueled Explosions.]] |

| 295 | ---- |
| 296 | * AccidentalProposal: Everyone thought his duel with Wiz was a BestHerToBedHer sort of situation. He eventually reveals that he never intended to marry her, only to beat her in duel [[KlingonPromotion so he can take her position as general in the Demon King's army]]. |
| 297 | * BearerOfBadNews: He reveals that [[spoiler:the Demon King is targeting Kazuma (and possibly Aqua) for defeating so many of his generals-- [[TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive along with the town of Axel]]]]. [[BerserkButton Wiz is not pleased with this news]]. |
| 298 | * EmergencyTransformation: He turns himself into a [[OurLichesAreDifferent lich]] after [[spoiler:Wiz beats him within one inch of his life]], making himself much more powerful-- but weak to Aqua's TurnUndead. Oops. |
| 299 | * ISurrenderSuckers: [[spoiler:After an enraged Wiz mops the floor with him, he accepts her offer to surrender... then takes the opportunity to turn himself into a lich like her. Not that it does him any good, as he's now vulnerable to Aqua's holy magic.]] |

| 301 | * PlayingWithFire: He's a mage who specializes in fire magic, [[FireIceDuo in contrast]] with [[AnIcePerson Wiz's ice specialization]]. |
| 302 | * WizardDuel: He challenges Wiz to one so he can take her position as General. Kazuma says that their fight is probably the single coolest thing he's seen since coming to Axel. |
| 303 | * WoundedGazelleGambit: He confesses his love for Wiz right as she's about to kill him. Then Vanir informs her that Angels, like Devils and Gods, have NoBiologicalSex or sexuality-- then Wiz (tearfully) [[WomanScorned finishes him off with an Explosion]]. |

| 338 | |
| 339 | First appearing in volume 2, he's the "mayor" of Axel town, and the one antagonist that Kazuma's party can't deal with by using brute force, since he's both human, and law-abiding, at least in public. |
| 340 | ---- |
| 341 | * ZeroPercentApprovalRating: ''Nobody'' in Axel likes him. Of course, his overall despicableness shaped the opinions of the people of Axel on nobility and aristocrats in general. |
| 342 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: The fact that even a masochist like ''Darkness'' is creeped out by [[DirtyOldMan him]] really speaks volumes on how creepy he is. |
| 343 | * AdaptationalHairstyleChange: In the manga, he has a BaldOfEvil and BeardOfEvil. Meanwhile, the anime shows him with a head full of hair and only a mustache. |
| 344 | * AndNowYouMustMarryMe: Towards Darkness in Volume 7, as the latest in a long line of women used as a LustObject by him. [[spoiler:Kazuma, with Vanir's help, finds a way to get her out of it.]] |

| 346 | * AristocratsAreEvil: Played as straight as they come, but even so, Darkness wants nothing to do with him. |
| 347 | * AssholeVictim: Alderp is perhaps [[HateSink the nastiest character in the series]], so there's no sympathy for him when [[spoiler:Vanir tricks him into completing his contract with Max, allowing the demon to not only remember that he's a high-ranking demon named Maxwell, but that Alderp also abused his short memory span to get himself infinite favors, causing the understandably vengeful demon to drag his ex-master off to hell]]. |
| 348 | * BadBoss: [[spoiler:To Maxwell, of a sorts. Also, he's more than willing to sell out anyone of his employees in order to save his own skin.]] |
| 349 | * BodySurf: He's apparently been jumping from body to body, killing his original host to make the swap permanent, for some time, all to gain power and influence. |
| 350 | * CovertPervert: He'd like to be covert, at least. In volume 6, Kazuma's party was at his mansion in the capital city to stop a chivalrous thief. Kazuma discovers that he has a mirror specifically designed to allow him to watch his maids (and Darkness) changing. |
| 351 | * DastardlyWhiplash: He has a curled mustache because stereotypically evil villains like him usually have these. |
| 352 | * DespairEventHorizon: When Karma finally catches up to him, and he has to pay Maxwell's "price", all he can do is beg for a quick death, [[EmotionEater much to Maxwell's delight.]] |
| 353 | * DevilInPlainSight: He makes little effort to hide how unpleasant he is, but even so, there isn't much anyone can do as there is no evidence regarding any wrongdoing coming from him. Not even unpleasant rumors. |
| 354 | * DidYouJustScamCthulhu: [[spoiler:His summoned devil, Maxwell, is incredibly powerful and can manipulate memories but has terrible memory himself. Alderp takes advantage of this to get infinite favors, though Maxwell eventually has him pay the price for his services in hell.]] |
| 355 | * DirtyOldMan: He leers at and flirts with Darkness. He later has a magic mirror set up so he can watch her bath. |
| 356 | * DomesticAbuse: Strongly implied by Maxwell. ''After'' Maxwell breaks Alderp's arms in restraining him, Maxwell goes on to say "I won't break you like you did to all those women." |
| 357 | * EntitledToHaveYou: To Darkness/Lalatina, taken to its horrific logical extreme. |
| 358 | * EvilCounterpart: To Kazuma. To wit, both are very cunning and underhanded, [[BornLucky tend to have a lot of luck on their side]] and their list of vices is nearly identical. The key differences are that Kazuma generally knows the difference between slapstick and abuse, and never knowingly crosses that line, he would ''never'' [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil force himself on a woman against her will]], and despite having a history of using his companions as monster bait, actually treasures them dearly. So much so that he was willing to pay a whopping 2 ''billion'' eris ransom in order to free Darkness from her ArrangedMarriage. Lord Alderp not only used up women and threw them away when he got bored with them, giving them a token "divorce" payment but when he found himself in trouble with Maxwell, tried to sacrifice his loyal staff and retainers without a second thought, purely to save himself. |
| 359 | * EvilOldFolks: He's elderly and highly unpleasant. |
| 360 | * FatBastard: He's noted by Aqua to be so fat he sweats oil. [[spoiler:[[FridgeBrilliance Which makes a lot of sense]] considering that he used to BodySwap bodies once the current one started to suffer the consequences of his extremely hedonist lifestyle.]] |
| 361 | * FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:Is literally dragged to hell, alive, to become Maxwell's plaything.]] |
| 362 | * GreaterScopeVillain: Besides the Demon King's army and [[SpannerInTheWorks Kazuma's own party members]], he's effectively the main source of Kazuma's troubles in the first half of the novel series, being responsible for the massive debt Kazuma has to shoulder. |
| 363 | * HateSink: His utterly deplorable actions and attitude, not to mention the lengths he would go through to get his hands on his LustObject of the season, made most fans scream for his death. [[spoiler:He ultimately suffers an even worse fate, all through his own words and deeds.]] |
| 364 | * HumansAreTheRealMonsters: A worse person than the other, nonhuman villains - with none of their [[AffablyEvil Affable Evil]], [[LaughablyEvil Laughable Evil]], etc. |
| 365 | * KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Despite being an open scumbag, nobody can ever present evidence to hold him accountable for his crimes, thanks to the manipulations of his forgetful devil. [[spoiler:However, Vanir tricks him into immediately paying for Maxwell's services and ending their contract, dragging him down to hell with his arms broken while exposing all his atrocities.]] |
| 366 | * KangarooCourt: When Kazuma is in court after the town's prosecutor, Sena, accuses him of treason and being from the Demon King's army, Lord Alderp organizes one since his mansion was ''accidentally'' destroyed by collateral damage from the fight with the Destroyer. After Kazuma reveals he ''didn't'' willingly cause the damage and that he is not working with the Demon King (also causing the LieDetector in the court to ''not'' go off), he sees it doesn't fit the "evidence" that he wanted, and rigs the case so that Kazuma ends up being sentenced to execution anyways. |
| 367 | * LikeFatherUnlikeSon: He's a horrible, corrupt man who tried to ruin Kazuma's life for petty reasons, but he has a son who is a gentleman and knightly individual who cares for others' happiness, asking Kazuma to make Darkness happy. [[spoiler:This is at least partly because he adopted the finest kid he could find, probably in order to have him be the most appealing marriage prospect possible. Unfortunately for him, this completely backfires due to a combination of the bride-to-be's... unusual taste in men and his son being too decent not to respect her wishes.]] |
| 368 | * MirrorCharacter: Parallels between Kazuma and him have been drawn, showing that they are somewhat similar in personalities. But the main difference is that Kazuma actually has a good heart behind his scummy actions, while Alderp is a legitimately malicious and selfish person. |
| 369 | * MuggingTheMonster: To Maxwell. Alderp does not know "Max" is a ''duke of hell'', presuming his divine artifact summoned a "low level devil" which he thoroughly abused. Once volume 7 comes to a close, he winds up deeply regretting this. Unfortunately for him, apologizing to Maxwell only serves to make things ''worse'' for him. |
| 370 | * MurderIsTheBestSolution: Is highly insistent on Kazuma being killed for the ''accidental'' destruction of his manor in Axel town in volume 2. [[spoiler:What's worse is that he plans to use a divine BodySwap artifact to KillAndReplace, first his own son, and then the crown prince so he can have Darkness married to him.]] |
| 371 | * OffingTheOffspring: [[spoiler:He certainly has this in mind with Lalatina's ArrangedMarriage to his own son, in order to replace him and become her husband.]] |
| 372 | * VillainExitStageLeft: To the rest of the world, it seems like this: with the utter failure of his and Darkness's wedding, evidence of his corruption arose and he quickly made himself scarce. In reality, [[spoiler:thanks to Vanir's interference, he ended the contract with the demon he was using to hide the evidence of his misdeeds, who proceeded to drag him off to Hell as "payment".]] |
| 373 | * VillainousBreakdown: When Eris seals the BodySurf artifact, Alderp throws a fit and beats up his summoned devil. [[spoiler:Later, he has an even bigger breakdown when said devil drags him to hell.]] |

| 376 | [[folder:Maxwell "Max" (SPOILERS)]] |
| 377 | !!Maxwell "Max" |
| 378 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NoriakiSugiyama (Japanese) |
| 379 | |
| 380 | Alderp's devil, summoned by a divine artifact that compels a random "monster" to serve the one who uses it. Although Kazuma's party has no direct contact with him, since he's under Alderp's control, he is responsible for a great deal of the heroic party's suffering, especially Lalatina's. |
| 381 | ---- |
| 382 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: On the surface, he appears to be a complete harmless idiot that Alderp abuses on a regular basis. In reality, he's an Arch-Devil, one of the seven Dukes of Hell and doesn't share Vanir's policy of not harming humans. |
| 383 | * BodyHorror: He's missing the back half of his head. |
| 384 | * DealWithTheDevil: Quite literally. Alderp abuses it for all it's worth through EasyAmnesia. |
| 385 | * TheDogBitesBack: At the end of Volume 7, after years of being abused and exploited by Alderp, Maxwell is eager to feed on Alderp's despair and says he will keep Alderp alive for as long as possible to torture him until he gets tired of him. |
| 386 | * TheDragon: To Alderp, though not entirely by choice. |
| 387 | * EmotionEater: Like Vanir, he feeds on negative emotions. Despair being his favorite. |
| 388 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: Volume 3 alludes to his existence in the courtroom scene, where Aqua senses the influence of an evil power affecting things. |
| 389 | * ForgetfulJones: He can alter people's memories, but has an absolutely horrible memory of his own. Someone leaving the room and coming back a few minutes later is often enough for him to forget who that person is. |
| 390 | * InstantAllegianceArtifact: Is victim to one under Alderp for quite some time. Volume 7 changes all that. |
| 391 | * LaceratingLoveLanguage: When he says he likes Alderp, he seems to mean it. Specially the sound of his screams. |
| 392 | * MeaningfulName: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell%27s_demon Maxwell's Demon]] is a thought experiment about a setup that violates the second law of thermodynamics in theory, but which fails in practice because the titular demon cannot retain information indefinitely, here referenced by Max's memory problems. |
| 393 | * MuggingTheMonster: Is on the receiving end of this for quite some time at Alderp's hands, [[KickTheDog and feet.]] |
| 394 | * PsychopathicManchild: Alderp notes at the end of volume 7 that he's smiling like a young child getting a new toy. |
| 395 | * RedBaron: ''The Twister of Truth''. |
| 396 | * {{Sadist}}: To Alderp's horror, Maxwell turns him into his new toy that he'll break over and over again out of love for Alderp's despair. |
| 397 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: He only appears in small portions of Volumes 6 & 7, with nobody aside from his contractor and Vanir even aware of his existence, but his manipulations resulted in Kazuma's party suffering a crushing debt and nearly losing Darkness. |
| 398 | * TheStoic: During all the time in Alderp's service, he shows absolutely no emotion. When the contract is ended, he smiles at the thought of collecting his payment. |
| 399 | * VerbalTic: He's almost constantly yelling "Yee!" |
| 400 | * AWolfInSheepsClothing: He seems harmless when he's stuck as Alderp's servant, but when it's finally time to claim his price from Alderp, he reveals his true sadistic nature as he gleefully breaks Alderp's bones. |

| 403 | [[folder:Zeeleschilt]] |
| 404 | !!Zeeleschilt |
| 405 | |
| 406 | A lord of a small village, and a high-ranking devil whose fingernail is needed to cure Sylphina's disease. [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext He also inexplicably wears a penguin costume]]. |
| 407 | ---- |
| 408 | * AffablyEvil: Much like Vanir, he doesn't descend into violence until he's provoked, and has quite amicable negotiations with Kazuma and Darkness. |
| 409 | * AntiVillain: He was perfectly willing to deal with Kazuma and Darkness, and he only didn't give them his fingernail because they couldn't hold their end of the bargain. He only attacked Darkness after they snuck into his castle to steal it. Kazuma also mentions that the people living under him were also content with his administration, so [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown he never really deserved]] what [[RichesToRags he got]]. |
| 410 | * ButtMonkey: After he moves to Axel, he's a constant target of Aqua randomly exorcising him. |
| 411 | * CombatTentacles: He can sprout a tentacle from anywhere he's cut. |
| 412 | * EmbarrassingAnimalSuit: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Kazuma's really the only one put off by his penguin suit (which he believes is a mascot costume from Earth). Zereschrute points out some of it's benefits, like being waterproof and heat proof. It also conveniently hides his [[TentacledTerror true form]]. |
| 413 | * EmotionEater: He's a devil, and subsists on the negative emotions humans produce, preferring emotions like fear and pain. Unfortunately for him, instead of torturing Darkness, he ends up becoming the (probably) first character to [[TooKinkyToTorture indulge her masochist fantasies]] if Kazuma's subsequent reproachful remarks to her are to be trusted. |
| 414 | * EyeOfNewt: His fingernail is needed to brew the potion that cures Sylphina's illness. |
| 415 | * PetTheDog: As it turns out, he's on fairly good terms with Princess Iris, whom he apparently met when she was a child. |
| 416 | * PragmaticVillainy: He refrains from doing Devil-ish things to his subjects, knowing that rousing them may cause the capital to investigate him. [[spoiler:This ends up saving his bacon when Eris beat him to an inch of his life instead of killing him, the KnightTemplar of an anti-Devil goddess only sparing him because she realized that no human died at his hands.]] |
| 417 | * RichesToRags: After the events of of Volume 12, [[spoiler:[[KnightTemplar Eris]]]] attacks his castle every day, forcing him to abandon it and his aristocratic position to work with Vanir and Wiz when he nearly runs out of VideoGameLives. |
| 418 | * TakeOurWordForIt: He did ''something'' to Darkness that left her flustered and Kazuma taken aback, but the narration refuses to specify what happened. |
| 419 | [[/folder]] |

| 421 | [[folder:Arnes]] |
| 422 | !!Arnes |
| 423 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arnes_anime.png]] |
| 424 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SachikoKojima (Japanese), Creator/DawnMBennett (English)[[labelnote: Foreign [=VAs=]]] Alex Delint (Latin American Spanish)[[/labelnote]] |
| 425 | |
| 426 | A demon in service to the Demon King, and a faithful servant to Demon General Wolbach. |
| 427 | ---- |
| 428 | * AdaptationalModesty: In the anime, she wears a leotard that's notably less revealing compared to her outfit from the light novel and manga, which showed off her cleavage and midriff. |
| 429 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: She challenges Megumin's Explosion with her own Cursed Lightning spell, and when it becomes clear to her that she can't win the resulting BeamOWar, she merely looks towards Chomusuke (the vessel of her mistress Wolbach) and apologises for her failures, before [[GoOutWithASmile going out with a smile]]. |
| 430 | * FacialMarkings: She's a demon with triangular marks on her cheeks. |
| 431 | * HornedHumanoid: She has goat-like horns sprouting from the sides of her head. |
| 432 | * HotAsHell: She's a demon who looks like a beautiful and voluptuous woman in a very revealing attire. |
| 433 | * NearVillainVictory: She comes very close to stealing Chomusuke away and obliterating Megumin and Yunyun (who can't attack without hurting Chomusuke). Unfortunately, she is undone by the DivineIntervention of the Goddess Aqua - namely, the arrival of [[SimultaneousArcs Kazuma and Aqua]] into the world, which created a pillar of divine light. This distraction gives Chomusuke a moment to bite her and make her drop him, giving Megumin free range to unleash Explosion. |
| 434 | * NobleDemon: She doesn't go out of her way to pick fights if she doesn't have to, and as with most demons of the setting, she always honors any bargains she makes with others. She even offers 300,000 eris for Chomusuke's return, with no strings attached. Unfortunately, Megumin is more attached to her familiar than she lets on, and is very willing to [[DidYouJustScamCthulhu keep the money]] when Arnes is driven off by her WeirdnessMagnet effect. This quickly makes the matter [[ItsPersonal personal]] for Arnes. |
| 435 | * PointyEars: She has pointed ears similar to an elf. |
| 436 | * PoliteVillainsRudeHeroes: Arnes is respectful in her interactions, and to her annoyance, Megumin never returns her manners, taking the money Arnes offers for Chomsuke and setting Arnes to take the fall for poisoning Arcanletia's water. In the anime, Arnes lampshades this trope when it comes to interactions with humans and demons, saying it is always the humans who break their word. |
| 437 | * StarterVillain: Serves as this for Megumin, being the first major demon she ever defeats. |
| 438 | * SupernaturalGoldEyes: She's a demon with yellow eyes. |
| 439 | * TraumaButton: Thanks to becoming a WeirdnessMagnet for the "worthless men" of the world after buying Hyoizaburo's cursed "magic" bracelet, anything involving promises, even she herself saying the word randomly, will send her into a violent trauma fit over all the times she was screwed over by broken promises, and Megumin [[DidYouJustScamCthulhu taking her money without handing over Chomusuke]], thus being another "promise-breaker", makes Arnes decide ItsPersonal. |
| 440 | * WeirdnessMagnet: Due to a magic wristband (or perhaps "cursed" is the better word) she purchased from Megumin's parents, she becomes a magnet for the lechers and freaks of the world to come and harass her, which does result in her getting chased out of Arcanretia by most of the Axis cult. |
| 441 | * WingedHumanoid: There are bat-like wings protruding from her back, but she mostly otherwise looks human. |
| 442 | [[/folder]] |
| 443 | |
| 444 | [[folder:Hoost]] |
| 445 | !!Hoost |
| 446 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hoost_konosuba.png]] |
| 447 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Itaru Yamamoto (Japanese)[[labelnote: Foreign [=VAs=]]] Creator/DanOsorio (Latin American Spanish)[[/labelnote]] |
| 448 | |
| 449 | The primary antagonist of the Explosions! spin-off prequel. A powerful Greater Demon (formerly) contracted to Wolbach as her top enforcer. His attempts to recover Wolbach's sealed other-half drove much of the plot. |
| 450 | ---- |
| 451 | * AffablyEvil: When he isn't mad, Hoost can be quite well mannered. This is best seen with his interaction with Komekko, but even when he meets Megumin he offers her a sincere deal rather than try to fight. |
| 452 | * TheBrute: Subverted. He definitely has the appearance and abilities down pat, but is much more intelligent and even-tempered than he lets on. |
| 453 | * DoomedByCanon: Is already dead by the time Megumin joins Kazuma's party, and is long gone by the time they confront his former master, Wolbach. |
| 454 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: When staring down Megumin's Explosion spell, he simply chuckled to himself and mused that he'd finally have some time off in hell. |
| 455 | * GenreSavvy: When facing the massive raid sent from Axel to deal with him, he doesn't bother with the typical introductions or grand-standing. Instead he ambushes the raid and blindsides Kyouya, nearly killing him in the process. |
| 456 | * GoodWingsEvilWings: Sported a pair of massive bat-like wings that allowed him to fly at high speeds. |
| 457 | * HornedHumanoid: Sports four horns in total - one large pair sprouting from the top of his head, and a slightly smaller, mandible-like pair growing from his cheekbones. |
| 458 | * LightningBruiser: Incredibly strong, ridiculously durable, and remarkably fast for his large size. Oh, and he can cast Advanced magic. |
| 459 | * MusclesAreMeaningful: Extremely muscular, which is highlighted by the fact that [[FullFrontalAssault he doesn't actually wear clothes or armor of any kind.]] He's also one of the physically strongest and most durable enemies in the series. |
| 460 | * NobleDemon: Despite being a Demon General, Hoost isn't a particularly malevolent guy, he doesn't like to fight people if he doesn't need too and is actually very sweet to Komekko. Additonally he is completely devoted to Wolbach despite not technically working for her, showing that he is loyal as well. |
| 461 | * OddFriendship: He forms an unexpected friendship with the young Crimson Demon, Komekko. He likes her so much that he promises to become her {{Familiar}} if she ever manages to summon him. |
| 462 | * OneManArmy: Single-handedly took on an expeditionary raid consisting of nearly every adventurer in Axel. The only reason none of the adventures died is because they were smart enough to form a vanguard of their tankiest warriors and knew to run the hell away as soon as [[TheAce Kyouya]] went down. |
| 463 | * PetTheDog: Has plenty of moments with Komekko during the interludes of Volume 1. When they part ways he even gives her an AffectionateGestureToTheHead, and she notes to herself that he was the first friend she ever made. |
| 464 | * ThePromise: He tells Komekko that he'd become her familiar should his contract with Wolbach ever expire. Plot-wise it also explains why Wolbach couldn't simply revive him by making a new contract with him. |
| 465 | * PlayingWithFire: Is a master of Advanced-class magic, but favors the Inferno spell. |
| 466 | * PragmaticVillainy: Of the "discretion is the better part of valor" variety - despite his immense power, he avoids unnecessary violence in order to avoid drawing attention to himself. Unlike Sylvia and his coworker Arnes, he went out of his way to avoid picking a fight with the Crimson Demon Clan, knowing that it would be a waste of time and energy to confront them directly. |
| 467 | * ResurrectiveImmortality: When he runs out of VideoGameLives he simply returns to hell. He can be brought back to the living world if or when a summoner makes another contract with him. |
| 468 | * SuperToughness: Somehow managed to survive hits from both Gram and Aqua's God Blow, both of which are known for their OneHitKill properties. According to Hoost, he probably would have been able to survive Megumin's Explosion too if he had time to recover his lost health and stamina. |
| 469 | * TraumaCongaLine: Taken to RasputinianDeath levels. First he was attacked by a 50-man raid and had one of his wings cut off by Kyouya. Then he was assaulted by [[HorrifyingTheHorror Darkness]] and [[PhysicalGod Chris.]] ''Then'' Aqua slapped him in the face with a God Blow when he tried to scout the town. And finally he spent hours having his stamina worn down by Yunyun going full [[Franchise/TheWitcher Geralt of Rivia]] on his ass with [[CrazyPrepared TEN MILLION Eris worth of scrolls, potions, traps, and other magic consumables]] before being finished off by Megumin's Explosion spell. |
