Magic Academy & Valhalla

Mother Goose

The joint leader of both the East Side of the Magic Academy and Valhalla along with her partner, Orochi Kusanagi.

---

• Adapted Out: None of her appearances from the early volumes are in the anime adaptation.
• Anthropomorphic Personification: She is the human form of the Sacred Treasure-type Magical Heritage, Gungnir.
• Arc Villain: She's one of the villains of Volume 11, along with Orochi.
• Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: Mother Goose has the ultimate ability of Deification that ascends herself and her user into Godhood, granting its user miraculous abilities that bend the laws of the physical world. This power however can truly manifest after the user replaced the Seat of God.
• Big Bad: Subverted. Because she's the head of Magic Academy and Valhalla, enemies of the Anti-Magic Academy, it's easy to assume Mother Goose is the main villain of the series. When we finally meet her, though, she doesn't act like a bad person at all. Also, the real main villain of the series is Sougetsu, the principal of the Anti-Magic Academy.
• Classy Cravat: She wears a cravat, emphasizing her sophisticated image and behavior.
• Disappears into Light: Mother Goose dissolves into white particles to become the magic power needed for the Deification of Takeru and Lapis.
• Ethereal White Dress: She's a mysterious and mystical figure that appears as a woman in a white dress. Takeru almost perceives her as a ghost because of her mystified aura and appearance.
• Exotic Eye Designs: When she opens them, her eyes have two circles parallel. It's a sign that she's in fact a Sacred Treasure.
• Eyes Always Shut: She keeps her eyes closed most of the time.
• Giant Poofy Sleeves: Her dress has detached sleeves with puffs just below the shoulders.
• Godhood Seeker: Because she loves the world, Mother Goose wants to save it from being destroyed with Sougetsu's death and plans to replace Sougetsu as god in order to recreate the world into a more ideal one.
• Gold and White Are Divine: She wears a white dress with gold trims and is one of the well-intentioned leaders of the Magic Side. Like Lapis, she's a Sacred Treasure that was brought from the world of Norse gods.
• Hero Antagonist: Her main goal while guiding Valhalla is to save the world and end the oppression of magic. However, being in the Magic Side puts her directly at odds with the Inquisitors, the faction where the main characters are.
• Heroic Sacrifice: She gives up her life to become the magic fuel required for Takeru and Lapis to complete their soul merging and inherit the Seat of God.
• Light Is Good: She dresses all in white and while she's the leader of the main antagonist faction, Mother Goose is presented as a benevolent figure.
• Mystical White Hair: Her hair is white and is one of the leaders of the Magic Side. She's secretly a Sacred Treasure-type Magical Heritage.
• Public Domain Artifact: Her true identity is no other than Gungnir, the spear of the god Odin in Norse Mythology.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Whenever she opens her eyes to reveal her shining red eyes, she can become intimidating.
• The Stoic: She remains calm and composed at all times.
• Summon Magic: She stands out as one of the most powerful summoners in the series. She can summon an army of Eirenjars and angels that are replicas of the beings of the world of Norse mythology.
• Utopia Justifies the Means: Her goal is replacing Sougetsu as god and remake the world into a peaceful one where none of the death and tragedies of the past happened. For this, she's willing to sacrifice a city full of innocents as a "small price" for her perfect world.
• Weaponized Teleportation: She developed transfer magic and knows how to use it in battle. Such as transferring her magic into the body parts of Mari to blow up her limbs or teleport Ouka all the way to Mars and leave her to die suffocated in space.

Orochi Kusanagi

Voiced by: Rikiya Koyama

One of the two leaders of Valhalla. He has mysterious motives but works in clear opposition to that of the inquisition. Despite being unable to see he is an unparraled swordsman, and there are very few who can match him in pure skill in the modern world. Due to incorporating vampire cells into his body, he is semi-immortal though he didn't really need it in the first place considering his skill in combat.

---

• Arc Villain: He's one of the villains of Volume 11.
• Blind Weaponmaster: His heightened sense is so trained that his blindness is actually viewed more as an advantage than a shortcoming and he's still one of the greatest masters of the Kusanagi Style.
• Broken Pedestal: Takeru respected Orochi as his mentor and father figure so he's both horrified and infuriated when Orochi admits he murdered hundreds of civilians to drink their blood, never wanting to believe Orochi would do something so evil.
• Coat Cape: He wears his haori over his shoulders like a cape.
• Cool Teacher: While his training is described as no walk in the park, Orochi is a very laid-back guy who acts very casual with his apprentices.
• Dhampyr: During the first Witch Hunt War, Orochi implanted himself with vampire cells that turned him into an artificial vampire hybrid. He can drain blood and "consume" other people to heal himself, as well revert his aging, temporarily returning him to his youthful form.
• Died Happily Ever After: After Takeru kills him, Orochi reunites with his sister Mikoto's spirit and passes on happy with his life.
• The Dreaded: Takeru is scared shitless the first time they see each other in four years, having been sort of traumatized by Orochi's sword training.
• Eye Scream: Both of his eyes were crushed at the end of the Witch Hunt War during his fight against his sister Mikoto.
• Long-Lost Relative: He's Takeru Kusanagi's ancestor.
• Master Swordsman: He taught the Double-Edged Style Master to Takeru. Of course, Orochi is practically invincible with a sword and there's almost certainly no better swordsman than him in the world.
• My Life Flashed Before My Eyes: Once Takeru kills him, Orochi goes over the memories of his long life before he dies in peace.
• Necromantic: His ultimate goal is using Mother Goose's power to become the new god and recreate the world into one where his sister Mikoto never died.
• No Sympathy: He offered no sympathy over Takeru's tragedy when the boy had to watch his sister's demonic body kill their parents and all the villagers in their hometown, as he harshly told Takeru it was all the result of him not choosing to either kill or protect his sister.
• Number Two: He acts as the second leader of Valhalla, being Mother Goose's partner.
• One-Man Army: He takes on fifty EXE soldiers equipped with Guillotine mass-production type Relic Eaters and they're the ones who end up shitting their pants as Orochi kills them all in a few minutes.
• Parental Substitute: Takeru and Kanaria think of Orochi as an adoptive father because they were trained by him from a young age.
• Person of Mass Destruction: His ultimate technique of the Kusanagi Double Edged Style, Ama no Habakiri, allows Orochi to push his body beyond the limit to release an explosion that is equal in power of a 2-kilometer wide nuclear blast.
• Really 700 Years Old: He was a participant of the Witch Hunt War 150 years ago and turned himself into a Dhampyr to remain young by drinking blood. The more blood he consumes, the younger he looks.
• Reflectionless Useless Eyes: His eyes lack shine to indicate his blindness.
• Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: He is named after the mythological eight-headed snake, Yamata no Orochi and he bears the family name Kusanagi which is the name of the blade found inside the serpent.
• Scars Are Forever: He has a scar that goes across his eyes and nose.
• Sibling Murder: He was forced to kill his older sister Mikoto after she was driven insane by fusing her soul with Lapis.
• Sink or Swim Mentor: He trained Takeru in the Double-Eyed style by pushing the boy off a cliff, forcing him to climb his way back up, and pushing him off again. Every day. This was so that Takeru would get used to the feeling of his life being in danger.
• Stern Teacher: He never goes easy on his pupils and makes them do everything by themselves as much as possible, but he gives them good advice and pushes them to choose the path they think is right.
• Sword Cane: He has a cane that also serves as the sheath of his sword.

Haunted

Voiced by: Koji Yusa

Haunted is a major antagonist and recurring character. While technically a part of the organisation Valhalla he is generally shown as a free spirit doing and fulfilling his own goals. Haunted is a Necromancer with Ancient Despair Magic.

---

• Abhorrent Admirer: Mari feels nothing but revulsion and strong hatred for him because of his despicably evil personality. Ironically, this makes Haunted adore her even more due to his love for emotions of fear and disdain.
• Alchemy Is Magic: He is noted to be an alchemist.
• Arch-Enemy: Takeru is a Hope Bringer and Haunted is a Hope Crusher. Because of their opposing ideologies and goals, Takeru and Haunted hate each other more than anyone and can't stand the mere fact that the other is alive. Throughout the series, they're each other's most detested and personal enemy.
• Ax-Crazy: He loves killing people.
• Bad Powers, Bad People: Haunted, the most evil and sadistic mage in the series, uses a darkness-based magic attribute called Despair. This magic has disastrous effects on its targets, inflicting an unbelievable amount of pain. And there's nothing that Haunted enjoys more than causing suffering with his magic.
• Card-Carrying Villain: Haunted joyfully embraces his role as an evil, murderous villain while considering those who are good to be his natural prey.
• Combat Tentacles: The plants he creates with his Despair magic take the form of deadly tentacles that crush and stab people.
• Complete Immortality: Along with never aging, he's basically unkillable because of a magical contract he has with a magical organism. Whenever Haunted receives fatal damage, the being will provide him a new body in exchange for a soul.
• The Corrupter: Haunted gives Kiseki the little push the already utterly broken girl needed to give in to her darkest desires and decide to force Takeru into killing her by killing everyone else he wants to protect.
• Dark Is Evil: He's a Necromancer, his magic type is Ancient Despair, and wears black priest robes. He has evil sorcerer written all over him.
• Empty Eyes: His eyes are devoid of shine and lifeless, which reflects his lack of human soul and values.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Averted. He loves killing people, but you have to feel some emotion while doing so, whether love, hate, anything. Isuka killing based on cold logic is disturbing to him. Only to be reminded that he's the one who is killing countless victims.
• Evil Is Hammy: Whenever he's making an entrance or doing evil, he wants to do it in a spectacular way.
• Evil Wears Black: He's an irredeemably evil villain wearing black priest robes.
• Exact Words: He promised Mari she could talk to the orphanage kids again...and he did keep his promise, but since he's a Necromancer they were already dead.
• Faux Affably Evil: He has a polite persona, but is absolutely Ax-Crazy and a Card-Carrying Villain.
• Feel No Pain: He can be stabbed, shoot multiple times, cut in two and he'll still show no signs of feeling pain.
• For the Evulz: He causes mass destruction, chaos and death. Why? Because he enjoys it.
• Green Thumb: With Belladonna Garden, Haunted can create tentacle-like thorns and flowers.
• Has a Type: One of the things he likes about Mari is that she's flat-chested. Five years later, he's happy to hear she still hasn't grown breasts.
• Hate Sink: He represents the absolute worst aspects of the Magic Side. Even Mother Goose is disgusted at having someone like him working for Valhalla.
• Healing Factor: Any wound left in him will almost instantly heal and he can reattach his body parts when they're cut off.
• The Heavy: He's the most consistent antagonistic figure in the story, being a Starter Villain who sticks around and grows to have a personal enmity against the main characters.
• Hope Crusher: Haunted wants nothing more than bring despair to the world and destroy all hope everywhere. Takeru being a Hope Bringer makes him Haunted's natural enemy.
• I Have Your Wife: He got Mari to work with him by telling her he had taken the children of her orphanage hostage and she could only see them again if she joined Valhalla. That was a lie. Haunted could only let Mari see the ghosts of the children.
• Icy Blue Eyes: He has blue eyes that represent his status as a heartless and murderous villain.
• Magic Knight: His magical heritage Dainslief gives him his own armor and sword.
• Metaphorically True: He told Mari that he would let her see the children from her orphanage if she worked for him... Except he didn't let her know the kids were already dead, but he claims he didn't exactly lie since as a Necromancer, he has the power to revive the children.
• Necromancer: His extensive medical knowledge of the human body allows him to effectively kill and utilize bodies for his rituals. He can also manipulate bodies for further use in more complex summonings.
• "Not So Different" Remark: He taunts Mari when he gives her back the memories of her criminal past, telling her she's a murderous mage like him. Thankfully, Takeru steps in and convinces Mari that is not true.
• One-Man Army: He can single-handedly produce a massacre when facing a significant number of the Pureblood Party's army.
• The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: After his first defeat against Takeru, Haunted declares him his one and only nemesis. He won't allow anyone but himself to have the glory of killing Takeru.
• Post-Final Boss: In Volume 13, Takeru kills Sougetsu and Lapis replaces the latter as God. After the final battle is over, Haunted appears before Takeru for one last duel between them, which ends in Takeru's victory.
• Pragmatic Villainy:
  • Haunted wants to kill Sougetsu just like everyone to save the world from complete destruction because if there's no world, there's no more despair and suffering that he adores so much.
  • He feels absolutely disgusted at Suzaku having Kiseki under her control by trapping her mind in a Lotus-Eater Machine. He then decides to free Kiseki from that fake happiness... so he can force her to go back to the reality that makes her suffer, just as he likes it.
• Psycho for Hire: He technically works for Valhalla, but he doesn't give a damn about their goals and only takes the job as an excuse to spread misery and destruction with magic.
• Really 700 Years Old: He was present during the Witch Hunt War, making him at least over 150 years old.
• Sadist: His greatest pleasure is causing immeasurable despair and suffering in people. He especially expresses his "affections" for Mari by trying to break her mind and make her miserable.
• Sinister Minister: He apparently served as a priest at some point in his past. He still dresses in priest robes.
• Stalker with a Crush: He's creepily obsessed with Mari, to her misfortune.
• Starter Villain Stays: He is introduced as early as Volume 1 as the summoner who creates the Einherjar and is formally introduced to the cast as the villain in Volume 2. He continues to appear frequently across the series all the way to the end.
• Summon Magic: He's a summoner powerful enough to bind King Arthur's spirit as an Einherjar.
• The Unfettered: He will do what he needs to achieve his goals.
• Villain Respect: Hayato getting angry at Haunted on Takeru's behalf inspires such a big respect in Haunted that he sacrifices over a thousand souls he had in store to resurrect himself and summons a Sacred Treasure all in order fight Hayato at his absolute strongest.
• Villainous Crush: He's completely infatuated with Mari, who loathes him for being an insane, sadistic psychopath.
• Villainous Rescue: When Takeru is cornered by the mages of the Pureblood Party, Haunted appears to help him take down the enemies and heals his wounds because Haunted won't let anyone other than himself kill him. Takeru finds being saved by his worst enemy to be the biggest humiliation in his life.
• Worthy Opponent: Takeru is the sole enemy Haunted has ever acknowledged because Takeru is the only one who has never broken down in the face of despair and keeps a firm determination to save everyone, therefore Haunted sees Takeru as the embodiment of hope that his despair must destroy.
• Would Hurt a Child: He killed all the orphans Mari was friends with, and later rips a child's head off in front of her own mother.
• Yandere: He adores Mari so much that he does whatever he can to mercilessly torture her emotionally and mentally so he can delight himself with the horror and despair in her facial expressions.
• Your Soul Is Mine!: Haunted's Despair property allows him to contract himself with a magical being that makes him immortal in exchange for human souls. For this purpose, Haunted collects the souls of those killed directly by his magic.

Mephistopheles

Voiced by: Sayaka Ohara

A powerful witch who had her soul removed from her body after a run-in with the Inquisition. Mephisto allied herself with Reima Tenmyouji so they could work together in retrieving her body while in turn, she would incur a spell to enslave the entire academy to his will.

---

• Arc Villain: She and Reima act as the villains of the Festival of Fools arc as both attempt to take over the Anti-Magic Academy for their own purposes.
• Body Surf: Mephisto has the very rare Ancient Attribute Devil that gives her the ability to possess bodies, something only devils should be able to do. Because the Inquisition captured her real body, she currently exists by using Transfer Charm to take over body after body.
• Facial Markings: Her true form in the anime has markings in her cheeks.
• Maniac Tongue: She sticks out her tongue when possessing a body to show her nature as an evil witch.
• Mind Rape: After she takes over Ouka's body, Mephisto tries to destroy her soul by forcing Ouka to relive the most traumatic parts of her past. To her surprise, Ouka's Heroic Willpower is too strong for her to break from mere illusions when the real thing was much more painful.
• Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: Named after Mephistopheles, one of the chief demons of German literary tradition.
• Spotting the Thread: When Mephisto possesses a body, she also steals their memories and feelings. This should make her the perfect impostor, but Nagaru and Mari can almost immediately see through her because the person she possessed (Shizuka and then Ouka) don't say their real feelings out loud like how Mephisto is doing it. Mephisto even complains how hard it is to impersonate a Tsundere.
• Voices Are Mental: She can use her own voice while possessing different bodies.

Kanaria

Voiced by: Aimi Tanaka, Mami Shitara (as an infant)

A wood-elf girl created by Ikaruga Suginami in Alchemist's lab. She works with Valhalla to fight off the Inquisition, believing they were responsible for the death of Isuka, who she thinks was her mother. Like Takeru, Kanaria was trained in the Double Edged Kusanagi Style by Orochi. She is the current wielder of Lævatein, one of the Sacred Treasures responsible for the destruction of the world 150 years ago.

---

• Accidental Misnaming: She can't pronounce Lapis' true name Mistilteinn right.
• Animal Theme Naming: Her name is the Japanese spelling for canary. It doubles as Family Theme Naming; everyone related to the Suginami being named after birds.
• Artificial Family Member: She was created by Ikaruga as part of an intentionally failed experiment. Ikaruga thinks of Kanaria as her daughter, but their relationship is complicated because Kanaria was raised thinking Isuka was her mother and that Ikaruga had abandoned her. Eventually, Ikaruga and Kanaria fully accept their mother and daughter relationship.
• Artificial Human: She's an artificial elf created by Ikaruga in Alchemist's lab.
• Blush Sticker: In the anime, she has round blush marks on her cheeks as a baby.
• Close-Range Combatant: Much like Takeru, close range combat is Kanaria's forte because of her also being a practitioner of the Double Edged Kusanagi Style and her wood elf genes providing her with immense physical strength and agility.
• Damsel out of Distress: When Elizabeth captures and tortures her for failing to defeat Takeru, Kanaria manages to escape the torture device on her own and assists Takeru in defeating Elizabeth by throwing a spirit silver knife to turn one of Elizabeth's arms into ashes.
• Demoted to Extra: The anime excluded most of her scenes in the Hyakki Yakou arc.
• Embarrassing Nickname: Orochi calls her "Diluted" because she drinks weak tea and coffee. Kanaria doesn't like it.
• Extremely Protective Child: Ikaruga joins the attack on Alchemist's first research facility to avenge Isuka in Kanaria's place. With help from Lævateinn, Kanaria bursts into the battlefield at Alchemist and arrives just in time to save Ikaruga from Suzaku. She then declares she's going to fight not to avenge Isuka, but to protect Ikaruga.
• Fantastic Arousal: Her elf ears are very sensitive to touch.
• Half-Human Hybrid: Ikaruga used elf genes and human sperm to create Kanaria, making her an artificial half-elf, half-human girl.
• Hates Their Parent: She deeply resents Ikaruga, being under the misunderstanding that Ikaruga willingly abandoned her when she left Alchemist and blaming her for making Isuka suffer by leaving her behind, not knowing Isuka was the one who didn't want to leave with Ikaruga. After spending some time with Ikaruga and realizing she does care for her, Kanaria slowly warms up to her and accepts her as her other mother.
• Hopeless with Tech: Since she lives in the country of mages, Kanaria isn't familiar with technology and machines. She doesn't even know what a cellphone is.
• Last of Her Kind: Albeit artificially created, Kanaria is the last of the elf species left in the world.
• Like Mother, Unlike Daughter: She's Ikaruga's artificially created daughter. While Ikaruga is a master genius when it comes to technology and sticks to Mission Control, Kanaria is a swordswoman with extraordinary strength and doesn't know much about technology.
• Meaningful Name: Ikaruga named her after the canary that turned into a human from the children's book she found from a test subject, which was the trigger of her interest in the outside world.
• Nephewism: After Ikaruga left Alchemist, her half-sister Isuka looked after Kanaria. Although she initially considers Isuka her only mother, Kanaria eventually accepts Ikaruga as her other creator.
• Otherworldly Technicolour Hair: The human characters of the setting have realistic hair colors, making Kanaria stand out as an elf with cyan hair.
• Pointy Ears: She has long, pointed ears common in elves.
• Power Gives You Wings: By using Lævatein, Kanaria gains wing-like projections of magic fire particles that allow her to fly.
• Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: Kanaria makes a secret deal with Elizabeth to betray the East Side for the West Side so she can have a chance to avenge Isuka. Elizabeth orders Kanaria to take down Takeru and steal Lapis for her, but Takeru defeats Kanaria and convinces her to leave the Magic Academy with him to meet Ikaruga and learn what happened to Isuka. Elizabeth then appears to steal Lapis herself and traps Kanaria in a magic torture device that burns all of Kanaria's body.
• Sensual Spandex: Her battle outfit is a skin-tight bodysuit.
• Sore Loser: She's bitter about having lost her fight against God Hunter Takeru and tries to excuse her defeat by saying she didn't go into Hero form, so it doesn't count.
• Supernatural Gold Eyes: An artificially created elf with bright yellow eyes.
• Sweet Tooth: She really loves sweets.
• Third-Person Person: She uses "Kana" as a substitute for "I".
• Tsundere: She's very surly and aggressive, but her softer side surfaces when Takeru and much later, Ikaruga get in her good graces although it takes her some time to admit she's fond of them, especially Ikaruga.
• Waif-Fu: She's a lot stronger than her thin build and short stature would suggest thanks to wood elves having greater physical capacities to make up for lack of magic.
• You Killed My Mother: She thinks Isuka was her mother. After told Isuka was killed by the Inquisition, Kanaria joined Valhalla to avenge Isuka. However, the truth is Ikaruga was the one who created her and it was the member of Valhalla Haunted who killed Isuka.
• Younger than She Looks: Due to accelerated growth, Kanaria's appearance is that of a teenager when in reality, she's only around five years old. Despite being given advanced knowledge with magic, her mental age is still that of a very young child.
• You're Not My Mother: Kanaria refuses to acknowledge Ikaruga as her mother because she ran away from Alchemist without her, although she doesn't know that was because Ikaruga thought she was dead. Instead, Kanaria views Isuka as her only parent for raising her. Eventually, Kanaria understands Ikaruga does care about her and accepts her as one of her creators.

Elizabeth

One of the leaders of Valhalla and the chairwoman of the Magic Academy's West Side comprised of the militant Purebloods.

• An Arm and a Leg: Her left arm gets turned into ashes when Kanaria pierces it with a spirit silver knife.
• Attack Reflector: Her Alice Mirror spell can reflect any attack aimed at her back to her opponent. She uses this to counter Takeru's Witch Hunter form's magic absorption.
• Bad Boss: She's more than willing to launch a magic explosion to try and kill Takeru along with several of her academy's students. It's even stated that the explosion range is so big that there was no need to order the West Side students to hold Takeru down with weight magic and chains.
• Barrier Warrior: Her Daedalus spell can create black wings made of Darkness property that act as a shield to repel Mari's light-based offensive spells.
• Black Eyes of Crazy: Her usually normal eyes change to eyes with black sclera and red pupils when she reveals her nature as a Vampire Apostle.
• Buxom Beauty Standard: She's noted for having very large breasts, which are prominently displayed by the Impossibly-Low Neckline on her dress, and is one of the reasons Mari dislikes her.
• Combat Pragmatist: When her magic battle with Mari gets hard on her, Elizabeth throws an explosion spell at the East Side's student dormitory to keep Mari busy stopping her attack while Elizabeth takes the chance to escape.
• Distinguished Gentleman's Pipe: She's a dignified and high-class woman who smokes from a finely crafted pipe when she's deep in thought.
• Evil Redhead: She's the villain of Volume 6 and has long orange hair.
• Excessive Evil Eyeshadow: She wears prominent eyeshadow, as is typical for an arrogant and vain villainess.
• Femme Fatalons: She's an evil witch and a vampire. She also has long, sharp nails.
• Finger-Lickin' Evil: She licks her claws during her fight against Takeru.
• Game Face: She uses magic to freeze her cells and appear as an attractive woman. The Anti-Magic of Takeru's incomplete God Hunter form reveals her extremely ugly true appearance as an undead Vampire Apostle with rotting purplish red skin.
• Graceful Loser: When Takeru kills her, Eliza praises his strength and resolve. As a reward for defeating her, she uses her final moments to tell him Sougetsu Ootori is the root of everything.
• Hate Sink: She's an extremely racist and classist witch who treats everyone like dirt and wants to commit genocide so only pure-blooded mages like her live in the world.
• Having a Blast: Her Ancient Property Almighty allows her to produce a mixture of several magic properties to generate a massive explosion.
• High-Class Fan: She's a high-class lady who is often carrying a red folding fan in her hand, using it to fan herself or make gestures when using her magic, implying it's some kind of magic conduit.
• Hoist by Her Own Petard: Takeru manages to kill her by stabbing her with the spirit silver knife that Eliza had tried to kill him and Lapis with.
• I Just Want to Be Beautiful: She's obsessed with trying to prolong her youth so she can be eternally beautiful.
• Immortality Seeker: Because of a Vampire Apostle's immortality doesn't stop the effects of aging, Elizabeth wants to replicate the vampire's True Ancestor's longevity to make herself young and beautiful forever.
• Impossibly-Low Neckline: She wears a strapless dress that exposes a lot of her cleavage.
• In-Series Nickname: Several characters and the narration call her "Eliza".
• Lady in Red: She's a seductive woman who has red as a color motif, wearing a flowering red dress, red sunhat, red nails, and red heels.
• Ma'am Shock: One of the things she hates the most is being reminded of her age by calling her an "old hag".
• Makeup Is Evil: She's an evil vampire witch who wears a mask of heavy make-up because of the limitations of her cell-freezing magic on her decaying skin.
• Ms. Fanservice: She's described as a beautiful and seductive woman, with her illustrations having heavy Male Gaze angles.
• Named After Somebody Famous: She's named after Elizabeth Báthory, a Hungarian noblewoman also known as the "Blood Countess" who is said to have murdered hundreds of young women and bathed in their blood to maintain her youth and beauty. A comment from Haunted implies this Elizabeth might be Elizabeth Báthory herself.
• Our Vampires Are Different: Elizabeth is a Vampire Apostle. While her vampiric ancestry has thinned, it still grants her greater physical strength than a regular human. She also cannot sustain herself without consuming human flesh and blood.
• Politically Incorrect Villain: She's an evil witch who sees pure-blooded mages like herself as superior beings and everyone else, especially the demihumans and empties, are trash that need to be exterminated so the pure-blooded mages can rule the world. Although, the truth is her real motivation for wanting only witches to live in the world is to get rid of her Horror Hunger since the blood of witches has magic that makes it undrinkable to vampires.
• Proud Beauty: She's proud of her good looks, which is why she's so desperate to maintain her youth.
• Really 700 Years Old: While Eliza still looks like a young woman, she's an ancient witch who has lived for over a thousand years. Then it's subverted because her youthful appearance is the result of her using magic to freeze her cells and her true appearance is a rotting living corpse because Vampire Apostles have imperfect immortality.
• Red Baron: "The Almighty Witch"
• Reduced to Dust: She turns into dust after Takeru stabs her through the chest with a spirit silver knife.
• Slouch of Villainy: She's usually sitting on her throne as she literally looks down on those she speaks to.
• Smug Snake: Elizabeth is extremely arrogant and pompous of her status and power as a pure-blooded mage from the times before the war. Her smugness causes her to look down on Takeru and Mari, both whom manage to overpower her by coming up with smart moves and techniques she didn't see coming.
• Something about a Rose: She has a rose motif, using roses to adorn her clothes and even her throne.
• Stylish Sunhats: She's a vain, classy woman who wears a stylish red sunhat adorned with a rose.
• Supermodel Strut: She's described as strutting while swaying her hips when walking, further illustrating her haughty and arrogant nature.

• Technicolor Eyes: She has pink eyes.
• Undeathly Pallor: Her skin becomes pale when she reveals herself as a vampire.
• Vain Sorceress: Because she suffers from Age Without Youth, Eliza uses magic and make up to hide her hideous rotting flesh.
• Wasted Beauty: While she's noted for being physically attractive, she has such a haughty and repulsive personality that her appearance fails to charm anyone, something even Haunted notes.
• Wolverine Claws: Magical Heritage class magic imbues Elizabeth's nails that return the impact of a countered attack back to its enemy.

For the past years, she has been living as the admirable officer of the Pureblood Party, Mimulus Wallenstein. However, Elizabeth threatened the Wallenstein family to send Mimulus to the battlefield of Grey City and unleash Laugh Maker at the Inquisition.

---

• Amnesiacs are Innocent: Mimulus Wallenstein comes off as one of the best people in the Pureblood Party. That's until it's revealed Mimulus is the murderous witch Laugh Maker with amnesia. The moment her real memories return, Mimulus turns back into the insane monster she originally was.
• Arc Villain: She's the villain of the Crimson Lotus arc that focuses on Ouka's struggle to seek her revenge against Laugh Maker while protecting her platoon in the battle of Grey City.
• Arch-Enemy: As the witch behind the death of the Mineshiro family, Laugh Maker is Ouka's most personal and hated enemy.

• Ax-Crazy: She's a psychotic killer who will brutally murder everyone near her in the battlefield, no matter if they're enemies or allies, leaving only a bloodbath and traumatized survivors behind.
• Bad People Abuse Animals: In one of the manga adaptations, the first thing Laugh Maker did when she got inside the Mineshiro house was killing the family dog.
• Being Tortured Makes You Evil: Insect Cage tortured her until she was utterly broken both physically and mentally. This turned her into the psychotic monster she is now.
• Broken Pedestal: The mages of the Pureblood Party believed Mimulus would be the only witch who would be kind and protect her comrades to the end. When Mimulus regains her real memories, she turns back into Laugh Maker, a psycho who will kill both enemies and allies as long as she can make them laugh.
• Death Seeker: She considers being killed by Ouka would be her salvation as she doesn't want to live as a murderous loon after her time as Mimulus taught her about morals and made her realize the monster she is. This is why Ouka starts thinking she wouldn't be satisfied with killing Laugh Maker if that is what she wants and transforms her into her vampire servant to force her to live without ever forgetting her crimes again.
• The Dreaded: The rumors about her in the battlefield are comparable to horror stories. Anyone who survives one of her massacres is left traumatized and mentally broken for life.
• Fake Memories: After escaping her arrest attempt and being taken in by Valhalla, Laugh Maker was given a forged memory and became Mimulus Wallenstein. Her real memories return when her adoptive father is forced to release her in the battlefield.
• Fate Worse than Death: Since Laugh Maker wants to die, Ouka turns her into her immortal vampire servant so she can order her to never kill people again nor take her own life while also living constantly tormented by the memories of her crimes. Laugh Maker despairs over this, but five years later, she has decided to make the best of her eternal life by swearing to atone for her crimes.
• For Happiness: A very dark variation. Laugh Maker wants to bring people the ultimate happiness, which she does by making them laugh as she kills them so they go to heaven.
• Freudian Excuse: Laugh Maker was the product of a witch trafficking ring. Since her magic attribute was more supportive than offensive, the traffickers constantly abused her and broke her will into thinking that laughing and smiling, regardless of its basis, would send people to heaven. This is the source of her insane obsession with murdering people while making them laugh.
• Giant Poofy Sleeves: Her military uniform has large sleeve puffs.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Subverted. She has cream blonde hair and as Mimulus, she's the most benevolent and kind-hearted of the West Side's officers, but her true personality is an insane killing machine who is a danger to both enemies and allies.
• Happily Adopted: Played With. As Mimulus, she was grateful to the Wallenstein family who adopted her and tried to give her a good life. Mr. Wallenstein did feel some love for Mimulus, but deep down, he was terrified of her because he knew his adopted daughter was a batshit crazy murderer who only acted like a decent human being because he suppressed her memories.
• In the Hood: Ouka's flashback in Yohei Yasumura's manga adaptation depicts Laugh Maker wearing a hood to make her appear mysterious and scary.
• Interrupted Suicide: After Ouka refuses to kill her one last time, she tries to kill herself by biting her own tongue. Ouka doesn't let her end her own life to run away from her guilt.
• Laser-Guided Karma: Ouka finally takes her revenge on Laugh Maker for killing her family by transforming her into her vampire servant and forcing her to live forever while not being allowed to take any other life nor forget her crimes again.

• Master of Illusion: By using her enforcement magic on the human brain, she can make people see whatever she wants them to see.
• Meaningful Name: The name given to her by the Wallenstein family, Mimulus, means "show me a smile" in the language of flowers.
• A Mother to Her Men: Mimulus shows herself as a gentle and compassionate authority figure to the soldiers of the Pureblood Party, making her beloved by them. Subverted when she turns back into Laugh Maker as she has no qualms with using and killing her own soldiers.
• Our Vampires Are Different: Ouka bites her in her Vampire True Ancestor form, transforming Laugh Maker into a Vampire Apostle.
• People Puppets: Her spell End Order lets her completely take control of people's bodies by reinforcing the human senses and flesh to the extreme so they move as she wishes.
• Reluctant Psycho: Originally, she was an insane killer who wanted to send anyone suffering to heaven by killing them while making them laugh, as that was the philosophy Insect Cage drilled into her during torture. After Valhalla suppressed her memories, she was allowed to experience a normal life as Mimulus and grew into a good-hearted person. When her adoptive father commits suicide and her memories are unlocked, she's aware that her crimes as Laugh Maker make her an evil existence. Even though she still truly believes killing people while they laugh is their salvation, the morals she learned as Mimulus crush her with guilt and regret.
• Stepford Smiler: After she recovers her memories, she pretends to be an Unstable type as she brutally murders people while keeping a smile on her face at all times. During her second confrontation with Ouka, it's revealed she's closer to the Depressed type because her life as Mimulus made her understand what a monster she is as Laugh Maker and all the murder she's doing now is to push Ouka into killing her.
• Suicide by Cop: After she remembers she's Laugh Maker, she brutally murders soldiers from both the Inquisition and the Pureblood Party to provoke Ouka into killing her as she believes that having her life ended by the girl she forced to kill her own family will erase her crimes and free her from her guilt. Ouka realizes this and decides to not give Laugh Maker the death she desires. Instead, Ouka transforms her into a vampire so she suffers from knowing her crimes forever.
• Tomato in the Mirror: Mimulus is introduced as a benevolent officer of the Pureblood Party who disapproves of having the Ax-Crazy witch Laugh Maker in their army. When her adoptive father kills himself, Mimulus is forced to remember she's Laugh Maker who had her true memories suppressed by Valhalla to keep her under control.
• Trigger Phrase: When her adoptive father says "Laugh - Laugh Maker", her real memories are unlocked and Mimulus becomes the insane monster known as Laugh Maker.
• Tyke-Bomb: Laugh Maker was a witch birthed by the Red Butterfly's Insect Cage trafficking ring and she was conditioned to be the group's assassin and hunter. Even though her magic attribute was primarily a supportive one, she was trained into maximizing utility spells to better capture and execute targets.
• Uriah Gambit: Elizabeth sent her to the battlefield of Grey City because she wanted to get rid of her.
• Winged Humanoid: She can use magic to manifest butterfly wings that give her the ability to fly.
• You Said You Would Let Them Go: She promised she would spare the Mineshiros' younger daughter if the parents let a controlled Ouka kill them. After they stabbed themselves with the knife Ouka was carrying, Laugh Maker forced Ouka to stab her own little sister to death.

Sage Wallenstein

The captain of the Magic Academy's West Side's Seventh Squad. He's also the younger adopted brother of Mimulus. Similar to the 35th Platoon, his squad is made of outcasts who are looked down on by other Pureblood Party mages because of lack of talent or unconventional magic properties. Sage himself has the Ancient Attribute of Rust, seen as dirty by other pure-blooded mages. Sage disapproves of abusing magic to oppress "empties" and believes his kind should protect those without magic.

---

• Condescending Compassion: He does view pure-blooded mages like himself as naturally superior to "empties" and demihumans, but that's why he believes he must protect those who are weak instead of using their great magic just to show power. Although Takeru notices Sage has some of the Pureblood Party's arrogance that annoys him, he can tell Sage at least has his heart in the right place.
• Elemental Barrier: He can make a barrier consisting of rust to act as protection
• Make Them Rot: Sage's magic property allows him to apply the deteriorating effects of rust onto any surface.
• Nice Guy: Compared to others of the Pureblood Party, Sage is a pretty decent guy who tries to treat others with respect despite their different backgrounds and ideologies.

Magical Heritages

Nacht

Voiced by: Akane Kohinata

A Lost-Type Magical Heritage whose physical form is that of the legendary blade, Dáinsleif. She is wielded by Haunted.

---

• Clingy Jealous Girl: Similar to Lapis with Takeru, Nacht gets easily jealous if Haunted praises another blade.
• Dark Is Evil: Her signature color is black and while Natch herself is indifferent to human morals, she's contracted to the incredibly evil Haunted because his pitch-black soul has the greatest compatibility with her.
• Elegant Gothic Lolita: In her human form, Nacht wears a black goth-loli dress.
• Evil Wears Black: Just like her master, Nacht's human form dresses completely in black. The narration describes her as someone who can be identified as an evildoer at one glance.

• Hime Cut: Her human form has blunt bangs, cheek-length sidelocks, and waist-length straight hair to complement her Elegant Gothic Lolita dress.

• Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: Dáinsleif was the sword of the Danish king Högni, according to the account of the Hjaðningavíg battle.
• Snarky Non-Human Sidekick: She lets out a lot of sass when talking to her maniacal host Haunted.
• Sore Loser: She sees hers and Haunted's defeat at hands of Takeru and Lapis as the ultimate humiliation and wants to have her revenge on them.
• Wound That Will Not Heal: One of her abilities is leaving injuries that can't be healed by regular means or magic. Lapis can save Takeru from being stabbed by Dáinsleif through regeneration, though.

Lævateinn

One of the Sacred Treasure-type Magical Heritages that clashed with Mistelteinn to cause the end of the first Witch Hunt War and destroy most of the world. It has lost a significant portion of its power in the aftermath of the war and doesn't have a personality. It was previously wielded by Orochi Kusanagi and was given to Kanaria.

---

• Black Swords Are Better: It takes the form of a black sword.
• Flaming Sword: Its blade could produce hot fire that reduced anything it touched into cinders. Despite its power having being greatly reduced, Lævatein's flames are still strong.
• Public Domain Artifact: Lævateinn is a weapon mentioned in the Poetic Edda poem Fjölsvinnsmál.

The Alchemists

Suzaku Suginami

Voiced by: Satomi Arai

The leader of the Alchemists faction as well as being the organization's CEO. She is the genealogical "mother" of all Suginami Design Children. She had allied herself with the Inquisition and was responsible for keeping Kiseki Kusanagi asleep in a dreaming state before the attack on the First Laboratory.

---

• Animal Theme Naming: Suzaku is named after bird, following the Family Theme Naming for the Suginamis. In her case, Suzaku is the Japanese name for the Vermilion Bird of the The Four Gods.
• Evil Matriarch: She's the genealogical mother of the Suginami Design Children, Ikaruga being one of them. When Ikaruga meets Suzaku, she's repulsed by how Suzaku only cares for her scientific progress, thinking nothing about how many lives have to be sacrificed for it.
• Evil Wears Black: She wears a black labcoat and is a Mad Scientist who doesn't care for human morals.
• Familial Body Snatcher: She has lived for over 500 years via possessing the bodies of her own Designer Babies.
• Family Eye Resemblance: The Suginami Design Children get their violet eyes from her.
• Girlish Pigtails: In the anime, she looks like a preteen girl with pigtails.
• Immortal Immaturity: She has been around for long thanks to frequently changing bodies for 500 years, but she can act very childish, especially when showing excitement at the chance of making new experiments.
• Labcoat of Science and Medicine: As the head of the Alchemist company devoted to the invention of technology, Suzaku always wears a labcoat.
• Lack of Empathy: As the narration says, Suzaku has no understanding or interest in the human heart, only caring for her scientific research and results.
• Living Forever Is Awesome: She has been switching bodies for centuries to continue her research and infinitely extend her knowledge.
• Mad Scientist: She cares for nothing but scientific and magical research, thinking of human lives as mere potential for experiments. And she's proud of it.
• Mystical White Hair: She has grey hair and she's the genealogical mother of all the Suginami Design Children and a Familial Body Snatcher who has lived for over 500 years. She can also modify herself into a High Elf in the same way Ikaruga turns herself into a Dark Elf.
• Parasitic Immortality: She engineered every Suginami Design Child with a specific genetic coding named Phoenix Gene that allows her to transfer her consciousness to the body of one of her Designer Babies should her current body fail her. With this, Suzaku has kept herself alive for over 500 years.
• Psychopathic Womanchild: She has the enthusiastic curiosity and eagerness to learn of a child. She also views human lives and feelings as expendable tools for her experiments.
• The Soulless: She states that the individual known as "Suzaku Suginami" no longer has a soul due to maintaining her existence through transferring her consciousness to the Suginami Design Children.
• Supernaturally Young Parent: She looks younger than her daughter Ikaruga thanks to constantly switching bodies.
• Wild Card: For a long time, Suzaku provided technology and weapons to both the Inquisition and Valhalla. She only agrees to give exclusive support to the Inquisition because Sougetsu leaves her in charge of researching a way to control Kiseki's Hyakki Yakou, but she still doesn't really care who wins the second Witch Hunt War.

Isuka Suginami

Voiced by: Yuko Sanpei

Ikaruga Suginami's half-sister who was previously affiliated with the Alchemists before allying herself with Valhalla after promising them to revive the mythical dark elves

---

• Animal Theme Naming: In accordance to the Family Theme Naming of the Suginamis, Isuka is named after a bird. In her case, a crossbill.
• Cain and Abel: She was left deeply hateful towards her sister Ikaruga because she left her behind to defect Alchemist and see the outside world.
• Designer Baby: Like Ikaruga, Isuka was born as the result of the Alchemist's Design Children project to genetically engineer prodigies that would advance the world's scientific progress.
• Died in Your Arms Tonight: After being fatally wounded by Haunted, Isuka dies in Ikaruga's arms.
• Emotion Suppression: She had this forcibly done to her after Ikaruga left Alchemist. Because of the redesigns made to her body, Isuka suffers painful headaches whenever she feels illogical emotions.
• Emotionless Girl: She claims she can't feel any sort of strong emotion because Design Children aren't made for that, which freaks Haunted out. Turns out this is the result of Alchemist suppressing Isuka's emotions and facial expressions.
• Et Tu, Brute?: She feels Ikaruga betrayed her by leaving Alchemist when they could have continued their scientific research together.
• Famous Ancestor: Her sperm donor was Hermes Trismegistus, the legendary founder of alchemy.
• Frozen Face: The scientists of Alchemist modified her body to limit her facial expressions.
• Heel–Face Door-Slam: Ikaruga offers Isuka a chance to start over with her and be together like when they were kids. Just as Isuka appears to be about to give in, Haunted kills her in front of Ikaruga.
• Identical Twin ID Tag: Isuka looks almost identical to her sister Ikaruga, but there's several key differences: Isuka has auburn hair in contrast to Ikaruga's dark brown hair, Isuka has one mole under her right eye while Ikaruga has two moles with one being under the opposite eye, and Isuka's labcoat is red while Ikaruga wears a white one over her school uniform.
• Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: She gets impaled through the stomach by Haunted's arm.
• It's Personal: Double Subverted. Isuka denies it when Haunted assumes she ordered to kill all the scientists in the Alchemist facility out of hatred. The truth is she did hate them because of how they "re-educated" her.
• Labcoat of Science and Medicine: She wears a red labcoat like Ikaruga's since Isuka is also one of Alchemist's Design Children raised as scientific prodigies.
• Reduced to Dust: After Haunted kills her, Isuka's body turns into sand in Ikaruga's arms.
• The Spock: After Ikaruga's escape from Alchemist, the scientists redesigned Isuka to repress any sort of emotion or illogical thought that could interfere in her scientific research.
• The Stoic: Her face only shows a detached expression. Although, she is Not So Stoic around Ikaruga.
• Strong Family Resemblance: She looks physically identical to her sister Ikaruga, with the only notable difference being their hair colors and the place of their beauty marks. She also looks similar to her genealogical mother Suzaku.
• Sugar-and-Ice Personality: At first, she seems cold and emotionless like a robot, but her emotions are just being repressed because of her "re-education". Despite her conflicted feelings for Ikaruga who left Alchemist without her, Isuka clearly did love her sister. Kanaria's backstory reveals Isuka also had a warmer side to her when she hugged Kanaria and wished for the half-elf's freedom when saying goodbye.
• Surprisingly Sudden Death: Just as it seems Ikaruga will be able to convince her to go with her, Haunted shows up without warning and kills her.
• Technicolor Eyes: She has the same violet eyes as her sister. It's probably to signify her origins as a Designer Baby.
• Tyke Bomb: She's one of the many Designer Babies Alchemist created to have young geniuses fabricate weapons and perform human experiments.
• We Hardly Knew Ye: She gets killed off very quickly at the end of the Two Alchemists arc.
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Isuka wants to join Valhalla to then destroy the world because she sees it as the reason why Ikaruga left her and Alchemist had to "re-educate" her.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: She wanted the Lost Matrix to be accepted as a member of Valhalla. Instead, Haunted kills her since Isuka became disposable to Valhalla after he learned vital information from her weapons schematics.

God's Embers

Yuzuho Mikado

A member of God's Embers, one of the few surviving religious sects that have been persecuted by the Inquisition. She's the captain of the Miko's Sixth Squad. The miko she worshipped, Izayoi, was surrendered as a sacrifice to the Inquisition and imprisoned at Alchemist as a test subject. Yuzuho seeks to save Izayoi, even if she must ally herself with those she considers heretics to accomplish it.

---

• Token Religious Teammate: Yuzuho and her squad are the only religious members in the Heretic Alliance working with the 35th Platoon and the Pureblood Party's Seventh Squad. Yuzuho's faith causes her to clash with Sage as she considers him a "black magi" while he points out that her religion's "miracles" are actually White Magic.
• Warrior Monk: She's the leader of a squad tasked with worshipping and protecting a Miko that served their god.

Independent

Kiseki Kusanagi

Voiced by: Chika Anzai

The younger twin sister of Takeru Kusanagi. Because of the curse of the Kusanagi bloodline, Kiseki was born with a demonic body that spreads death and destruction everywhere after reacting to her dark and painful thoughts. Her father tried to kill her from her birth, but was never able to because of her body's regenerative ability. After Kiseki caused the destruction of her and Takeru's hometown, she was taken prisoner by the Inquisition, motivating Takeru to join and change it for Kiseki's sake. Kiseki's only wish is dying together with Takeru, but Takeru won't give up until he finds a way for her to live freely and happily.

---

• Arc Villain: She's the villain of the penultimate volume.
• Bad Powers, Bad People: Hyakki Yakou is an abominable mass of demons inside Kiseki that could devour the entire world. For a very long time, Kiseki tried to fight off her dark desires that make the Hyakki Yakou go out of control, but she deep down knows that she does wish for the destruction of the world and death to anyone who distracts Takeru from her. Eventually, with a little push from Haunted, Kiseki stops resisting her evil urges and sets out to destroy the world to leave Takeru with nothing so he'll finally die with her.
• Be Careful What You Wish For: Kiseki's demonic powers try to grant her darkest subconscious desires. The result is usually the demons in her body going on a rampage and causing mass destruction.
• Because You Were Nice to Me: Ever since she was born, Kiseki was imprisoned, tortured, and treated like a monster by her parents and the Inquisition. Takeru is the only one who ever treated her kindly and tried to protect her, causing Kiseki's incestuous love and pathological dependency on him.
• Being Tortured Makes You Evil: Ever since Kiseki was born, her father and later the Inquisition put her through excruciating torture that would kill a regular human almost every day to keep the Hyakki Yakou from going berserk. Eventually, Kiseki can't put up with a life of nothing but being tortured, locked up, and put to sleep. Since dying with Takeru is the ultimate salvation to her, Kiseki chooses to not hold back the Hyakki Yakou anymore and destroy everything in her path until the entire world is destroyed, then she'll brutally murder Takeru's platoon as she makes him watch, leaving only Takeru alive so he's left with no choice but to kill her.
• Big Brother Attraction: Kiseki wants to marry her older brother Takeru and have babies with him. It's actually justified because he's the only human she has ever interacted with and her circumstances have kept them from forming a normal sibling relationship.
• Broken Ace: The final bonus story reveals that Kiseki is very talented in various fields, such as science, art and video games. However, she's still tormented by the memory of all the people that were killed by Hyakki Yakou and can't bring herself to have ambitions as that could make Hyakki Yakou lose control again.
• Broken Bird: After having such a torturous existence from birth, Kiseki hates the entire world and her only hope is Takeru killing her so she can die together with her brother.
• Clingy Jealous Girl: She feels extremely jealous of the girls in the 35th platoon, especially Ouka, because they spend so much time with her precious Onii-chan and blames them for being the reason Takeru won't die with her because they make him want to live on. After she stops holding back her evil thoughts, Kiseki plans to torture and murder Takeru's platoonmates so he will only look at her.
• Dark and Troubled Past: Ever since her birth, Kiseki's life has been nothing but imprisonment and horrifying torture because of her demonic immortal body.
• Death Seeker: She wants to die to put an end to all her suffering. However, she won't let anyone but her brother kill her.
• The Empath: She can feel the emotions of those who come into contact with Hyakki Yakou's flesh mass.
• Exotic Eye Designs: She has X-shaped pupils. These are absent in the anime, though.
• Full-Frontal Assault: Later in the light novels, Kiseki starts attacking people with Hyakki Yakou while wearing not a single piece of clothing.
• Godiva Hair: Illustrations of her in the nude have her hair covering her breasts.
• Healing Factor: Kiseki's body was born with a powerful regeneration ability. Even if she's beheaded or stabbed through the heart, her body will heal instantly.
• Heel Realization: In Volume 12, Kiseki kills millions, tries to destroy the world, and mind rapes Takeru's comrades all in order to force Takeru into killing her. Yet Takeru makes clear that if she were to make him hate her enough to kill her, he still won't join her in death. In anger and despair, Kiseki tries to kill Ouka, but receiving Ouka's memories and feelings through Hyakki Yakou makes Kiseki realize that she, unlike Ouka, refused to take Takeru's hand over and over again because she had become obsessed with monopolizing him by making him die with her. This causes Kiseki to regret taking the path of destruction due to not understanding the happiness her brother offered her.
• Hopeless Suitor: Like the girls in the 35th Platoon, Kiseki is in love with Takeru. While Takeru does love her a lot, it's not in the romantic sense because he can't fall in love with his own sister.
• Horned Humanoid: A horn sprouts out of her forehead whenever the Hyakki Yakou goes out of control.
• I Am a Monster: She considers herself an evil monster, both in body and mind, because she often thinks the world that has made her suffer so much should just disappear and it's her dark wishes what causes the Hyakki Yakou to try and destroy everything around her.
• Immortality Hurts: Ever since she was born, Kiseki was repeatedly cut and beheaded by her own father in his unsuccessful attempts to kill her. After she was taken prisoner by the Inquisition, the researchers subjected her to gruesome experiments to prove how effective her Healing Factor is and suppress the Hyakki Yakou. She was poisoned, crushed flat, chopped into pieces, burned alive and a lot more. This was a living hell for poor Kiseki.
• Incest-ant Admirer: Kiseki has very obvious romantic feelings for her older brother Takeru. While Takeru admits Kiseki was his first love, his feelings changed when he found out she's his sister and now only feels familial love towards her. He gets uncomfortable when he hears her talk about wanting to have his baby during her sleep.
• Interrupted Suicide: After the girls of the 35th Platoon sincerely offer Kiseki their friendship and promise to help her live on, Kiseki doesn't believe she deserves to live anymore after she willingly killed so many people so she wishes for the Hyakki Yakou to finally kill her. Her suicide attempt is stopped by Takeru who uses Ragnarok Enchant to burn away Hyakki Yakou.
• I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: By the time of the final epilogue, despite still having romantic feelings for Takeru, Kiseki has fully accepted that he can only love her as a sister and is ready to give her blessing to whoever he chooses as a romantic partner.
• Kiss of Distraction: She kisses Takeru when he's in God Hunter form to waste enough seconds for the transformation to become complete so Takeru forgets himself and kills her. Ouka shows up right on time to cancel Takeru's God Hunter form.
• Lack of Empathy: While her consciousness makes her hate the Hyakki Yakou killing people based on her malicious thoughts, it becomes clear Kiseki doesn't give a damn about anything but her own wish of dying with Takeru. She doesn't care how much Takeru wants to give her a normal life or how many people she has to kill to change his mind, she only wants Takeru to give her the death she wants.
• Little Sister Heroine: A dark take on the trope. Because of a family curse, Kiseki's body is the vessel to thousands of demons. As a result, she lead a very tragic life full of torture and isolation. Her older brother Takeru is the only person who ever treated her as a human being, which caused her to develop an obsessive love for him. Whenever Kiseki gets jealous of Takeru's female friends or Takeru gets injured in front of her, the demons in her body start spreading destruction everywhere.
• Living Emotional Crutch: In their childhood, Kiseki was the only person who could get Takeru to feel calm and relieve him of the feeling that he was trapped. This is because Takeru's soul is that of a demon and Kiseki's body is the Hyakki Yakou, so both feel complete when they're together.
• Lovecraftian Superpower: The Hyakki Yakou manifests as a huge mass of flesh with Too Many Mouths and Extra Eyes sprouting out of Kiseki's legs. It can spread infinitely to devour anything in its path.
• Many Spirits Inside of One: As part of the bloodline curse of the Kusanagi clan, Kiseki was born with countless demons sealed within her body.
• Master of Illusion: Kiseki can project illusions into the minds of those in contact with Hyakki Yakou.
• Mind Rape: By trapping people in Hyakki Yakou's flesh, Kiseki can trap their minds and show them painful visions to break them. It doesn't work on any of the girls in the 35th platoon because they're all too mentally strong to be broken or manipulated by Kiseki's visions.
• Multi-Armed and Dangerous: In the final volume, Kiseki's Hyakki Yakou takes the form of a woman with multiple arms. This form is particularly dangerous because it can erode magic.
• Never My Fault: After she starts an apocalypse by setting Hyakki Yakou loose in the world, Kiseki tries placing all the blame on Takeru as she wouldn't have done that if he had fulfilled her wish of dying with her in the first place. But this doesn't work to break Takeru because he knows it isn't his fault that his sister decided to destroy the world just to push him into committing a double suicide with her.
• No Social Skills: She has never had a proper conversation with anyone but her brother, leaving her with no idea of how to interact with other people.
• Older Than She Looks: Due to her petite build, it's a bit hard to tell that she's also sixteen like Takeru.
• Past Experience Nightmare: Five years later, Kiseki has recurrent nightmares about all the people that were killed with Hyakki Yakou.
• Person of Mass Destruction: The Hyakki Yakou in her body consumes anything in its path and adds to the ever-growing flesh mass that it is composed of. If it's not stopped, it could end up consuming the entire world.
• Power Incontinence: The Hyakki Yakou goes out of control whenever Kiseki is feeling upset or distressed since it acts on her negative emotions. However, Kiseki insists she's the one in control and all the destruction the demons cause is what she wishes for.
• Psychic Powers: She can read memories and induce dreams to anyone held within Hyakki Yakou's flesh mass.
• Put Them All Out of My Misery: Kiseki wants nothing more than die and be free from the world that only hurts her, but her demon body won't accept to be killed by anyone but Takeru. As Takeru continues refusing to kill her, Kiseki eventually decides that to make her wish of dying together with Takeru come true, she must drive him to despair first. Therefore, the only way to put an end to her suffering is killing everyone in the world until only Takeru and her are left, then Takeru will have nothing to live for and will finally commit Murder-Suicide with Kiseki.
• Self-Made Orphan: The Hyakki Yakou inside Kiseki killed her own parents when she escaped from her prison and they tried to stop her.
• Separated at Birth: Right after Takeru and Kiseki were born, their parents locked Kiseki away inside a shrine deep in the mountains to prevent Hyakki Yakou from killing people. Eventually, Takeru met Kiseki without knowing that she was his twin sister. He only found out when his dying father told him the truth about Kiseki.
• Shrinking Violet: She's very shy around anyone besides her brother.
• Strong Family Resemblance: According to Takeru, Kiseki takes after their mother.
• Suicide by Cop: Kiseki's only wish is dying by Takeru's hand in a Murder-Suicide. Since Takeru keeps refusing to do that, Kiseki decides she'll kill people until Takeru has nothing left but to die with her.
• Surprise Incest: When Takeru and Kiseki first met as children, they formed the first connection both had to another person and this caused them to feel a romantic attraction to each other. They later found out they're fraternal twins. Although Takeru managed to readjust his feelings accordingly and genuinely loves Kiseki as his little sister, Kiseki still harbors romantic feelings for her brother that quickly turn into obsession.
• Sympathetic Murder Backstory: Kiseki is responsible for the death of everyone in her and Takeru's hometown, including their own parents, but Kiseki didn't kill anyone consciously because her demonic body was mostly acting in reaction to Kiseki's dark thoughts after Takeru refused to kill her.
• Talking in Your Sleep: According to Takeru, Kiseki always talks in her sleep after they start living together. Sometimes, she's apologizing to all the people she killed, other times she says she wants to have her brother's baby.
• These Hands Have Killed: She feels immeasurable guilt over all the deaths caused by the demons inside her trying to grant her wishes.
• Tortured Monster: Because Kiseki's body contains all the demons in the world, she has been tortured and nearly killed every day since her birth. By merely thinking bad things, her body brings massive death and destruction. All she wants is to be put out of her misery by her brother, but he keeps refusing. Eventually, she seriously tries to destroy the world in order to force her brother into killing her.
• The Unfettered: Haunted convinces Kiseki that she has to "try her best" to make her wish of dying with Takeru come true. Kiseki then makes herself one with the demons of Hyakki Yakou, starts killing thousands of people all over the world, and threatens to kill Takeru's platoonmates right in front of him. However, Takeru still refuses to do as Kiseki wishes as his will is even more unbreakable than hers. Takeru makes clear that her only choices are either living with him or dying alone because he'll never die with her if she manages to make him hate her enough to kill her. Realizing she won't get what she wants from Takeru no matter what she does, Kiseki starts to break.
• Unknown Relative: When they first met, Takeru and Kiseki had no idea they were siblings because their parents wanted to keep Takeru in the dark about the curse of their bloodline.
• Unknown Rival: She thinks of Ouka as her archrival for Takeru's affections before Ouka even meets her.
• Villainous Incest: As she declares that she's going to kill everyone in the world until Takeru accepts to die with her, Kiseki gives her brother a disturbing French Spit-Trail Kiss.
• Walking Spoiler: Any information about her other than the fact she's Takeru's little sister is a big spoiler for the first half of the series.
• Winged Humanoid: She can grow wings made of her own demonic flesh to fly.
• Yandere: Kiseki is obsessively in love with her older brother Takeru and gets very jealous of his female teammates for being so close to him. Kiseki's dark feelings cause Hyakki Yakou to run amok and try to consume anything and anyone that tries to get between her and Takeru. It gets much worse when Haunted persuades Kiseki to act on her darkest desires. She becomes willing to destroy the world and brutally kill Takeru's female teammates in order to destroy his will to live and force him to die together with her. It fails because Takeru refuses to commit suicide with her no matter how many people she kills and he finally convinces her to live with him and his friends. Thankfully, she grows out of her yandere tendencies by the end and even goes on to befriend Takeru's female friends.
