Chris (SPOILERS!)

Chris

Voiced by: Ayaka Suwa (Japanese), Kira Buckland (English)^{Foreign VAs}

Darkness's friend and a thief. She's the one who taught Kazuma the infamous "Steal" skill.

A-Cup Angst: She's quite upset that her small bust tends to get her mistaken for a boy.
Adaptation Dye-Job: Her blue-gray eyes from the light novel were changed to purple eyes in the anime.
Bad Liar: She is really bad at keeping secrets considering how many of them she has. Her denials tend to only make her look more suspicious too.
Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Inverted. Chris wears a skimpy crop top that reveals her midriff, but she behaves like an outgoing tomboy. As Eris, she dresses more modestly while acting more feminine than her thief persona.
Berserk Button: Demons and the undead. Merely mentioning that one might be nearby is enough to send her flying into an uncharacteristic fury.
Blemished Beauty: She's a very cute girl bearing a large scar on her right cheek.
Born Lucky: As the goddess of fortune's secret alter ego, she's the only one who's beaten Kazuma at rock-paper-scissors. One of the side stories reveals that her luck is so high that her adventurer's card glitches out when it tries to display its value. Not that she was ever lucky at preventing Kazuma from stealing her panties...
Boyish Short Hair: Because of her boyish figure and short hair, many mistake her for a guy.
The Bus Came Back: She returns (as Chris) in Volume 6 of the light novel, although she'd been present as Eris in the prior volumes.
Fantastic Racism: Being a goddess, she hates devils and undead.
First Friend: To Darkness. Before she joined Kazuma's party, Eris answered Darkness' prayer to make friends by befriending her as Chris.
Gender-Blender Name: She calls herself "Chris", which is a name often associated with boys.
Glad He's On Our Side: She thinks this of Kazuma after he near effortlessly goes through half the royal guards and curbstomps Mitsurugi.
God in Human Form: She's Eris in disguise as a human.
God Was My Copilot: She's been spending less time in the human world because of Aqua's responsibilities being given to her as Eris.
Hair Color Spoiler: Chris and Eris are the only characters with silver hair. This is a clue to putting together that Chris is Eris' disguise.
He Is Not My Boyfriend: She tries very hard to deny that she and Kazuma are in any kind of special relationship. Though the way she goes about the denials makes it hard to believe her. It doesn't help that her only response to Megumin grilling her about it is to run away after she can't handle the interrogation.
Horrible Judge of Character: Megumin thinks this of her because of her "extermination without exception" rules for devils and undead, yet she still hasn't figured out Wiz and Vanir's true nature. But she might turn out to be right about Dust.
In-Series Nickname: Kazuma calls her "Big Boss" and she calls Kazuma "Assistant-kun" while they are on their heists. Justified, since they can't call each other by name without risking exposing themselves.
Just Like Robin Hood: When doing divine treasure hunting, she takes the opportunity to steal from bad nobles and donate what she stole to the Eris Church and the poor.
Kleptomaniac Hero: Chris likes her some treasure. Seeing a bunch of it makes her "thief blood boil."
Lady Looks Like a Dude: Many people confuse her gender, especially when she's in her "chivalrous thief" disguise, much to her chagrin.
Little Miss Con Artist: She's a young girl working as a thief. Her specialization is stealth.
Little Miss Snarker: She's not an outright snarker as Kazuma is, but she has her moments. Mostly displays it towards Kazuma.
Lovable Rogue: She often steals valuables from corrupt nobles to donate money to the poor. Her main reason for becoming a thief was to clean up the cheat items from Aqua's previous reincarnates.
Meaningful Name: An In-Universe example, she is named after the flower Chris, which is said to be the Goddess Eris' favorite flower.
Mirror Character: Despite their pretty obvious differences, there are times when she (in either identity) sometimes behaves like Aqua does.
- Like when it looked like her Festival would be replaced with Aqua's, she acted like Aqua in response. This leads to Kazuma to question whether or not loving parties and festivals was just a shared trait for Goddesses.
- She is actually just as zealous, if not more so, about cleansing undead and devils as Aqua is.
- While universally loved as a goddess, her priesthood is seen in a negative light. First and foremost: according to Wiz and Dust, they don't perform religious services like exorcisms or restorative magic without substantial money being provided upfront. Her adherence to the purview of fortune (luck and wealth) makes the world incredibly capitalistic. The Axis Cult only desires money to compete with the Eris Sect, and are otherwise willing to offer their religious services for free (though will aggressively push clients to convert to Aqua's faith).
- Though some blame can be traced back to Aqua, the New World is spiritually in sorry shape. Demons and undead run rampant, while the clergy is remarked to be greedy. Eris is very aggressive against apostasy and has a mutual dislike of finding common ground with Aqua's believers.
Mystical White Hair: Her silver hair is quite odd even for the humans of her world, which serves as yet another clue toward her true identity.
Nervous Tics: She scratches her scar when she gets troubled. This is one of the ways Kazuma finds out she's Eris's alter-ego.
Odd Friendship:
- Despite their sectarian differences, Megumin notices a strange comeraderie between her and Cecily due to their shared hatred of devils, the undead, and apostates.
- A side story set between the first two volumes reveals that she got along quite well with Aqua before learning the truth about her. This leads to a strange conversation where they drunkenly complain to each other about a willful and lazy senpai (Aqua) and a needy and incompetent kohai (Eris, according to Aqua), without either of them realizing that they are talking to said senpai/kohai.
Paper-Thin Disguise:
- Aqua doesn't notice that Chris is Eris, despite her looking exactly the same, only with different clothes and shorter hair. Even though Eris was suppressing her divine aura, the fact that Aqua knew Eris was "playing human" on her world and pads her chest in the god realm, should have been enough to set alarms off. Justified, since Aqua ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.
- Her "disguise" as the Chivalrous Thief was just a bandana that she wears around her mouth. The only reason why it worked on the castle guards (and Megumin) was because they had never seen her before. Darkness can see right through it.
Scarf of Asskicking: She wears a scarf around her neck that sometimes uses as a mask when working as the "chivalrous thief" .
Secret Test of Thieving Skill: Pulls one on Kazuma after teaching him Steal. It backfires when he takes her panties.
Significant Double Casting: She shares her voice actress with the goddess Eris, who turns out to be her alter ego.
Snark-to-Snark Combat: Tends to engage in this a lot whenever she pairs up with Kazuma.
Stripperiffic: Her outfit basically reveals her midriff and thighs, befitting a thief like her, but certainly not befitting Eris.
Sue Donym: Kazuma points out Chris is written almost the same as Eris, with only the first character being different in Japanese. This is another hint to figure out her true identity.
Suspiciously Specific Denial: Whenever she is trying to lie about something, she tends to indulge in this. Luckily for her the other characters are also somewhat dim at times and ignores the odd things she is saying.
Two Aliases, One Character: Chris is the Human Disguise of the goddess Eris. Kazuma eventually figures it out and gets Chris to accidentally admit her identity by answering to the name Eris.
Van Helsing Hate Crimes: Her policy towards devils and the undead is "extermination without exception". If she knew their identities, she would exterminate Wiz and Vanir, the Friendly Neighborhood Lich and Archdevil, without hesitation.
Video Game Stealing: As a Thief, her signature skill is the Steal skill, which works by having Chris point her hand at a target and invoke the skill. Its chances of success depends on the target's healthy, as well as their respective Luck scores, but if it triggers successfully, it teleports a random item in the target's possession into her grasp. She taught this skill to Kazuma, and thanks to his incredibly high Luck score, it becomes a major part of his arsenal.
Vitriolic Best Friends: A downplayed example but it's there, she and Kazuma have a lot of casual banter when they team up as the Silver-haired Thieves, however they really kick it up a notch when they are getting punished by Darkness and start selling each other out.
Willfully Weak: Unlike Aqua, who descended from the heavens, Chris is a mortal body created by Eris to interact with the world. Due to this, it works exactly like a mortal body in this world would with all the strengths and limitations. While inhabiting Chris, Eris does not possess her powers of a goddess, including her divine mana capacity, the ability to sense ghosts, demons or undead, nor does her body possess a divine aura that attracts the undead.
You Just Told Me: Tricked by this in a very casual fashion, when Kazuma asks her a question while referring to her by the name "Eris".

Yunyun

Voiced by: Kana Hanazawa (Japanese, Drama CD), Aki Toyosaki (Japanese, Anime), Kayli Mills (English), Emi Lo (Explosions episode 3, English)^{Foreign VAs}

Megumin's former classmate and self-proclaimed rival who feels that she just isn't worthy to run the clan until she beats Megumin in a contest, any contest.

Always Second Best: She gained her Competition Freak attitude toward Megumin because the latter would always score the highest on tests.
Ambiguously Bi: Some medias implied she has a crush on Megumin, but she accepted pretty easily to have a child with Kazuma.
Animals Hate Her: Her desperation to make friends eventually devolved into making them with not just animals, but plants, too! And even then, plants also hated her...
Attractiveness Isolation:
- As a prepubescent girl, she was one of the first to develop breasts in her class, which caused many of the other girls to avoid her out of jealousy.
- She's introduced suffering a nondating variation, in that it's explained that no one invites Yunyun to join their adventuring party because her high level, potent magic, status as a Crimson Demon and attractive looks makes them think she's out of their league.
The Archmage: Outside of the low-hanging fruit that her character class is literally called "Archwizard", Yunyun fits the trope in two main ways. Firstly, after some level grinding between her debut in the 2nd volume and the 3rd volume, she gains the Advanced Magic skill library, granting her access to the most powerful wizard spells. Secondly, in contrast to other Crimson Demon Archwizards, who grind skill points in school so they can just take Advanced Magic and then settle for that, Yunyun took Intermediate Magic first and then added Advanced Magic, and even begins taking Basic Magic after having seen from Kazuma how useful it can be when used creatively. Few other Archwizards in Belzerg can match Yunyun in the breadth of their magical spell variety, which gives her an enormous array of abilities.
Badass Adorable: Yunyun is so cute and cuddly it's very easy to forget that she is also one of the most powerful mages of her generation, with what she lacks in terms of Megumin's sheer firepower and Arue's technical knowledge she more than makes up for with the variety of her spells (and thus a greater adaptability), as shown both in Megumin's spinoff and in her introduction into the main series, where she easily zaps to death a giant frog that had been causing Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin and Sena a whole lot of trouble.
Because You Were Nice to Me: She is rather fond of Kazuma because he doesn't give her grief about her name, and actually treats her decently without ulterior motives for the most part — the sole exception is the anime's first OVA, but he was taking advantage of all his closest friends rather than just her.
Beware the Nice Ones: She's a Shrinking Violet, quick to apologize for stuff, and a sweet individual once one gets to befriend her, but as other parties will recount and as Kazuma witnessed such, you don't ever want to be on the receiving end of her powerful abilities.
Big Damn Heroes: Serves as this in the guild. Stories of lower-leveled parties recount how she usually saves them when they're in deep trouble.
Boring, but Practical: Yunyun's initial magic skill set consists only of Intermediate Magic, which all lack the flashiness normally associated with Crimson Demons. However, when traveling with Megumin it's often Yunyun's magic that is better suited for handling multiple encounters with different types of monsters, whereas Megumin's Explosion spell is very situational... not to mention Yunyun can cast far more spells per day than Megumin can, who exhausts her mana after firing Explosion once.
Born Unlucky:
- We don't know her actual stat levels, and she has a decent track record when it comes to combat, but outside of fighting nothing ever seems to go right for her. Since childhood, she suffers from loneliness and all her attempts to win at her rivalry with Megumin end in complete failure. It's to the point that her rivalry with Megumin used to be her only form of meaningful interaction with anybody. However, once she met the main cast she finally managed to luck out by gaining a form of friendship with Kazuma, whose own Born Lucky status likely cancels out her bad luck with friend-making, plus the fact he finds a kindred soul in her being a sane person among a world of madness.
- It's also played up literally: Yunyun was born on February 29th, meaning that she only gets to celebrate her true birthday every four years. And considering one of her saddest memories is a One-Person Birthday Party...
Broken Ace: She's an archwizard considered a magical prodigy even amongst Crimson Demons, as well as the wealthy daughter of the Crimson Demon chieftain, but she's been alone and friendless throughout her entire life. Her fellow Crimson Demons avoided her for many reasons, particular her lack of their Chuunibyou delusions, and even after leaving her village she's been unable to make a friend because other adventurers think she doesn't need teammates.
Broken Pedestal: Downplayed — she used to believe that Megumin was The Ace, because she could beat her at just about any competition they could imagine and always scored the highest on tests. Her opinion of Megumin plummets after she discovers that Megumin is dedicated to learning Explosion magic and only Explosion magic.
Buxom Beauty Standard: Despite being the same age as Megumin, she's more physically developed on the chest, which Kazuma comments on. Megumin for her part is envious of her for this and at one point even slaps her breasts in anger while asking if they've grown even more.
By the Lights of Their Eyes: The Crimson Magic Clan are named after their deep red eyes, which radiate in varying intensity to the person's emotion state. In the dark they give off an "eye shine" that can be seen without a light source.
The Chew Toy: Megumin constantly makes a fool out of her during their "contests", and she gets treated as the village oddball due to refusing to indulge in her race's chuunibyou delusions. We see this in the fullest in the Megumin spinoff showing her past in the magic academy. A minor Running Gag in the anime's second season (during the party's visit to Alcanretia) has her trying to show off to Megumin in front of Kazuma's mansion, before realizing nobody is present.
Chuunibyou: Double subverted. She is that rare Crimson Demon who doesn't like to act like a chunni — she is embarrassed by her name, doesn't make long speeches when introducing herself, doesn't pose dramatically or wear cosmetic eyepatches, etc. This makes her as weird in her hometown as Megumin is in Axel. However, even she cannot escape her Crimson Demon blood — when she is challenging Megumin to a duel, she gets passionate, speaks dramatically, poses, and boasts of how she will be the greatest Crimson Demon mage ever just as soon as victory is hers.
Cleavage Window: In the first OVA, Kazuma admits that he's constantly looking at her breasts, but blames her for putting it on display.
Continuity Drift: When Yunyun debuted, she was presented as a hapless, luckless loser with zero friends, an utterly pathetic home life, and a frosty relationship with her rival, Megumin. When Megumin's spinoff was released, it does the typical Expansion Pack Past retcon of paying lip service to her original characterization, and stating those traits were true at one point in time. But she quickly gets over them and becomes close friends with her classmates and Megumin alike, to the point they have a very emotional goodbye when Megumin leaves the village.
Cultural Cringe: She's terribly embarrassed by her fellow Crimson Demons' Chuunibyou culture. In turn, everyone at the village thinks she's the weirdo for not accommodating to their antics.
Cuteness Proximity: She really doesn't like it when Megumin kills cute critters like the Onion Duck for food.
The Cutie: Unlike the snappy and aggressive Megumin, Yunyun is meek, hapless (especially towards Megumin's bullying) and innocent.
Deliberate Under-Performance: When Megumin claimed she still needed four points to learn advanced magic (actually she was saving points for Explosion), Yunyun got worried she would graduate before Megumin so she willingly lowered her own grades and avoided getting more skill points. Megumin pointed out she could have just kept saving points until they graduated. This comment, along with the reveal as to why Megumin was stockpiling skill points, led to Yunyun's Rage Breaking Point.
Deuteragonist: Of the Megumin Prequel. She's the only character besides Megumin to appear in every chapter/episode, and plays a major role in most of them.
Disintegrator Ray: Low level enemies struck by Light of Saber are subject to No Body Left Behind.
Do You Want to Copulate?: She outright begs Kazuma to get her pregnant in the epilogue of volume 4. To say that Kazuma's entire party is shocked would be a major understatement. In Volume 5, Yunyun proceeds to explain she has received a "prophecy" that tells her she must have a child with a loser so said child will defeat the Demon King, though this is revealed to be a joke played by one of her former classmates.
Elemental Powers: Due to her mastery of Intermediate Magic, followed by Advanced Magic, Yunyun wields a diverse array of powerful elemental spells. Even when she only knows Intermediate Magic, she gains access to Fire, Ice, Lightning, courtesy of Fireball, Freeze Gust and Lightning, as well as a air attack called Blade of Wind. Taking Advanced Magic increases her arsenal with Saber of Light, Energy Ignition, Cursed Lightning, Cursed Crystal Prison, Lightning Strike, Inferno and Tornado.
Embarrassing First Name: She despises the name Yunyun because it doesn't sound normal to her.
Embarrassing Nickname: She gains two, "The One With Azure Lightning On Her Back" and "Crackling Thunder" when she finally gains the approval of the Crimson Mages. Megumin in particular deems her the "Number 1 loner of the Crimson Magic Clan", which isn't well received to say the least.
Everyone Has Standards: Desperate as she is for friends, she draws the line at being friends with Dust.
Extreme Doormat: She'll constantly capitulate to her Crimson Demon classmates as long as she's convinced that it's part of their friendship.
Friendless Background: She's too sensible and timid to fit into her fellow Crimson Demons' Chuunibyou culture, resulting in a very lonely and friendless childhood. Even animals and plants avoided her as a child.
Friendship Denial: Even though she's desperate to make friends, she still denies that she and Megumin are already friends, insisting they're "rivals" instead.
Heir to the Dojo: Heir to be clan chief, actually, but the terms are mostly the same, given that the entire clan are arch wizards.
Human Subspecies: As a Crimson Demon, Yunyun belongs to a lineage of humans who were genetically augmented for superior arcane magical affinity generations ago by a Mad Scientist.
I Just Want to Have Friends: She's so desperate for friends, she is perfectly willing to become friends with non-humans, like plants. She even tried to summon a demon just to have a friend. Unfortunately, this makes her a constant target for less-than-savory people looking to take advantage of her. However, even she is not desperate enough to become friends with Dust.
Megumin: I used to think that Yunyun is an odd child who cannot fit into society, and will be easily tricked by a bad guy who pretends to be her friend.
Incompletely Trained: The first Explosion spin-off reveals she learned Intermediate Magic, thus graduating early from magic school, to save Komekko from a group of demons.
Interclass Friendship: With Megumin. Yunyun is the daughter of their village's chief, making her fairly rich, while Megumin's family is so poor that she literally had to eat bugs. Despite their denials, they're obviously good friends.
Lady Not-Appearing-in-This-Game: Is featured in the anime season 1 opening but never showed up. Although she does appear in the OVA, which also uses that opening, it chronologically takes place somewhere in the middle of season 2.
Light 'em Up: Her signature high-tier attack magic is Light of Saber, a destructive spell that allows her to unleash a combination of Blasting Time, Beam Spam, and Hand Blast. The anime portrays it having electric properties as well.
Lonely at the Top: The other adventurers see her as The Ace for rescuing them a lot and clearing many quests by herself. Unfortunately, this also causes them to believe that they're too weak to form a party with her, or that she's a lone wolf who doesn't like adventuring parties.
Lonely Rich Kid: Despite Yunyun's privileged life as the daughter of the village chief, she was alone. In her introduction, we see embarrassing memories where she is celebrating her birthday in a large room with a long table, and is completely by herself. We also see her playing chess by herself, and trying to summon a demon out of desperation.
Master of None: During Megumin's spinoff, Yunyun had to spend her skill points on Intermediate Magic because she was shy a few points from advanced magic and because she, Megumin, and Komekko were surrounded by a horde of monsters. This allows to her at least fight back, though none of the spells are that threatening against higher level foes like Anis and Hoost. Fortunately, she grinds enough levels to learn Advanced Magic by Volume 3 of the main series.
Mundane Utility: Most of Yunyun's Intermediate Magic spells are either elemental attacks or Status Effects. Then there's Unlock, a spell that instantly opens any lock.
My Species Doth Protest Too Much: The Crimson Demon Clan are near-literally born and raised to be massive cases of Chuunibyou, and it's clear Yunyun's parents (especially her father Hiropon) raised her in hopes she'd turn out the same, but by some chance she was born with a reflexive feeling of embarrasment towards such an attitude, resulting in her being the Only Sane Woman among an entire village full of nutcases. It's a bit downplayed though, as when motivated she shows great potential for engaging in the grandiose theatrics signature of the clan, she just feels highly reluctant to indulge in them due to the sense of embarrasment.
Nice Girl: She self-proclaims herself as Megumin's rival, but she's a very friendly individual once gets to know her, and she cares for Megumin as well as her other friends in Kazuma's party, Vanir and Wiz. She's also quick to apologize for stuff.
No Social Skills: She grew up in a village where everyone is a Chuunibyou and they treated her as a weirdo for not viewing it as normal behavior. This left her with no experience or basic knowledge of how to interact with people, resulting in her being misunderstood or easily manipulated.
Odd Friendship:
- Gets along strangely well with Kazuma, mostly due to their mutual desire for common sense in a world with anything but.
- Also interestingly enough, with Vanir. Maybe.
- Is acquaintances with Dust, though not really willingly. As she says, even she has the right to be able to pick who she wants as a friend, and he hangs with her mostly out of pity.
Ojou: Subverted. Her father is the clan chief and the house she grew up appears fairly large, but she doesn't act as such nor does she get the typical benefits: she doesn't get a Girl Posse, she has to work to take "friends" to lunch, and through no fault of her own she was thrown out of her clan's social security program, making her actually economically disadvantaged.
One-Person Birthday Party: One of her most embarrassing and saddest memories is her celebrating her own birthday by herself.
Only Sane Man:
- Among the Crimson Mage Clan, she finds their compulsion to act in a chunni way embarrassing.
- Counts as a meta example too, with the only other people she shares sanity with being Kazuma and Luna.
Privileged Rival: In contrast to Megumin's financially challenged background, Yunyun is the daughter of the village Chief and is next in line to lead their clan.
Prone to Tears: She's very frequently crying, mostly due to Megumin in some way or another.
Rage Breaking Point: Volume 1, chapter 4 of the Explosion spin-off manga shows that when Yunyun learned that Megumin was deliberately avoiding learning Advanced Magic and only wanted to learn the Explosion spell, the most Awesome, but Impractical spell of the already Awesome, but Impractical Detonation Magic skill, Yunyun snapped and beat up Megumin in a furious outburst — one of the only times they've fought and Yunyun has won, despite Megumin "excusing" it afterwards.
Red Eyes, Take Warning:
- A strange subversion. Much like the Crimson Magic Clan, Yunyun has red eyes, and she has powerful magical abilities that have helped her a lot in the past and currently (such as Light of Saber). On the other hand, she is a nice and shy heroine, meaning Yunyun is usually not too menacing.
- Deconstructed and played for laughs in the Explosions! spin-off. Because a Crimson Clan member's eyes glow when they become excited, Yunyun managed to scare off every prospective rookie adventurer who wanted to join her party due to them believing it was this trope.
The Rival: The self-proclaimed one to Megumin, and is constantly challenging her to contests.
Shipper on Deck: After overhearing Darkness's preferences for men, she immediately thinks that Dust fits the bill. Chapter 4 of Dust's Spin-Off novel focuses on this. It doesn't help either of them that she Thinks Like a Romance Novel.
Shrinking Violet: She's incredibly shy and has difficulty talking to strangers.
Significant Birth Date: Supplementary material treats us to the fact she was literally Born Unlucky... because she was born on February 29th (she can only celebrate her birthday every four years).
Sixth Ranger: To both Kazuma and Dust's teams. She often gets involved with Kazuma's team due to her "rivalry" with Megumin, and Dust often drags her along on his adventures during his spinoff, especially whenever one of his other party members is unavailable and he needs a replacement.
Status Effects: Thanks to taking Intermediate Magic, Yunyun has access to the very useful if non-damaging spells Sleep, Paralyze and Flash. Upon learning Advanced Magic, she gains access to the spells Bottomless Swamp (creates a quagmire that pulls down anyone caught in it), Silent (which negates all sound in the target area) and Light of Reflection (which makes the target invisible).
Thicker Than Water: She's perfectly willing to act in a chuuni way if it means she can assist her fellow Crimson Mages in battle.
Tsundere: Parodied; she denies wanting to be friends with her "rival" Megumin, but it's perfectly clear to everyone that she does, and she admits that she admires Megumin's forward and brave attitude when she thinks the latter is asleep. It goes both ways.
Unknown Rival: Subverted. Megumin pretends initially to not even know who Yunyun is and consistently acts like her challenges are no big deal, but in truth, Megumin is deeply invested in their rivalry and will go to great lengths to win.
Vitriolic Best Buds: Though she won't admit being friends with her, she and Megumin get along better than either of them would ever admit. Their rivalry is their friendship, despite Yunyun's competitiveness and Megumin's apathy.
Younger Than They Look: She looks way more developed than her 13 years of age, especially compared to Megumin, as Kazuma lampshades.
Your Approval Fills Me with Shame: When she finally acts chuuni just once in front of the Crimson Mages, they stop treating her like the village oddball and she becomes the most popular person in the village. Unfortunately, they gave her really embarrassing nicknames to which she begs for them to stop.

Wiz's Magic Item Shop

Wiz

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wiz_konosuba.png

Voiced by: Saori Hayami (Japanese, Drama CD), Yui Horie (Japanese, Anime), Brianna Knickerbocker (English)^{Foreign VAs}

A lich and a semi-retired general from the Demon King's armies, discovered by the party while on a quest to stop a zombie maker monster. She actually defies all the known lich conventions by not only appearing human, but actually helping send the ghosts in that graveyard to their proper final destinations because the human priests who ran the cemetery couldn't be bothered to deal with the poor people's section. When she's not soothing souls, she runs a struggling magic items shop in Axel.

Age Insecurity: When asked her age, Wiz insistently answers that she's "forever twenty" because liches don't age.
The Alleged Boss: Vanir works her like a horse in what's supposed to be her own shop, believing she can't be trusted to competently buy reasonable stock without his strict discipline.
Ambiguously Bi: Wiz obviously is attracted to men, but when a succubus entered her store and called her "cute", she started to blush and even served her tea. Though it could be argued that she simply liked to be praised.
Apologizes a Lot: Wiz tends to be very meek and polite.
Artifact of Death: Her shop specializes in selling cursed items. Because no sane adventurer would purchase something guaranteed to kill them, she rarely makes profitable sales.
Attractiveness Isolation: Everyone will readily admit Wiz is incredibly attractive and has an adorable personality. She's single partly because men are intimidated by her good looks and high level. The other half of the equation is that she's regarded as a "treasure" by all the single men in Axel and therefore there is an unspoken agreement that she's off limits for them to fantasize about from afar.
Attractive Zombie: Her pale skin is the only sign that she's undead. For comparison, fellow lich Keele is heavily decomposed.
Badass Adorable: Wiz is beautiful and pleasant. She's also an exceptionally powerful spellcaster whom you don't want to get on the bad side with.
Bad Powers, Good People: She is considered a being that defies the rules of the gods by becoming a lich, but is naturally a good person.
Beware the Nice Ones: With her polite, kind demeanor and status as The Chew Toy, it's rather easy to forget that she was once a powerful adventurer, is currently a high-ranking general of the Demon King, and is one of the most powerful characters in the series. As Hans can personally attest to, she can be quite frightening when you go past the line she has drawn against civilian casualties. When she gets angry, even Aqua is terrified of her.
- In her backstory, her one-woman assault on the Demon King's castle after becoming a Lich quickly turned into a Mook Horror Show — in addition to cutting a bloody swath through the entire garrison, she managed to one-shot Hans with Cursed Crystal Prison, off-handedly knocked out Sylvia using Drain Touch, and proceeded to pummel Beldia into submission even after he agreed to lift the death curse he had placed on her party members.
Big Eater: While she tries to act modest, she'll quickly give in to her hunger and wolf down enough food to serve multiple people. This is because she's so poor she usually subsides on sugar water and goes on for days/weeks without solid food.
The Chew Toy:
- She used to be a frequent target of Aqua's attempts at exorcism, even though she has done nothing evil, simply because she's a lich.
- Her utter incompetence at running a shop has seen her at the receiving end of multiple Vanir-style Death Rays.
Cold Ham: Becomes this when angered, befitting an Ice Witch. After trapping Hans with Cursed Crystal Prison, she camly walks up on him while calmly explaining what he just did is a breach of her neutrality pact, and her speech holds so much power that you can barely hear Hans' terrified yelling.
Connected All Along: It turns out that she's the number-one patron of Hyoizaburo, the Crimson Demon craftsman of (useless) magic items: also known as Megumin's father.
Cool Big Sis: Kazuma's party looks up to her as a kind and supportive, if financially incompetent, older sister figure.
Creepy Crosses: She's a lich and wears a cross brooch over her chest.
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: For the most part, Wiz is a easily stressed, financially irresponsible klutz. However, she's an extremely powerful Archwizard, who even the Demon King's generals are hesitant to cross.
Dark Is Not Evil: Despite being a lich, she is pretty much one of the kindest beings in the series.
Deal with the Devil: In her final encounter with Vanir, she attempts to strike one of these: In return for her soul, he would remove Verdia's Premonition of Death on her companions. Since she just sacrificed most of her lifespan, her soul is useless, and he refuses. He makes a counter-offer: he would teach her how to become a lich, giving her enough power to force Verdia to remove the curse, and in return, they have to work together to achieve his goal of making a dungeon.
The Dreaded: Even the Demon King's elites do their best to stay out of her way.
An Entrepreneur Is You: Runs a magic items shop in town.
Extreme Doormat: Mostly is this, tolerating most of other people's behavior, even if they are harmful to her. Somewhat downplayed, however, given she also does stand up against people that push her buttons and generally receives her due reward for tolerating behaviors, even having a Odd Friendship with Aqua, who previously tried to kill her every time she saw her.
Fading Away: Whenever she gets close to actually dying (usually thanks to Aqua), she turns transparent.
Fantastic Nuke: She can also use Explosion, but unlike Megumin, she has mastered the Required Secondary Powers as well, so she doesn't collapse after casting it once.
Fantastic Racism: She considers lichs the kings of undead, and doesn't take kindly to vampires trying to claim that position.
A Fool and His New Money Are Soon Parted: After Vanir makes a decent fortune selling the Intellectual Property he bought from Kazuma, she immediately uses it to buy a pile of manatite crystals that would be impossible to turn around for a profit.
Friendly Shopkeeper: Wiz is a good-natured Lich who operates a cursed item shop and is friends with Kazuma and company. The only reason she doesn't join them on their adventures is because Aqua's holy powers are dangerous to her. While she is kind, she is unfortunately rather incompetent, selling dangerous or just impractical cursed items.
Friendly Zombie: Despite being a lich, Wiz is a Friendly Shopkeeper and recurrent ally to the heroes.
Head-Turning Beauty: The adventurers in Axel remember her for two reasons: for being a powerful arch-mage and former adventurer, and for being very well-endowed. Some of the male adventurers mention coming to her shop just to Eat The Eye Candy.
Hiding Behind Your Bangs: Her right eye is often covered by her hair, representing her somewhat reclusive nature. They also provide a Sultry Bangs image when her Ms. Fanservice status is played up.
Hoist by Her Own Petard: She sacrificed all of her life force by using a forbidden magic item in a last attempt to defeat Vanir, only for Vanir to come out unharmed. She "survived" thanks to Vanir telling her how to turn herself into a lich.
Horrifying the Horror:
- Aqua counts as Wiz's horror, due to her divine powers being more than enough to vaporize Wiz, and she has tried to kill Wiz multiple times before. But when Wiz gets pissed, even Aqua is terrfied.
- Hans is a nasty slime monster that can singlehandedly lay waste to huge areas. He's startled when he sees Wiz while in disguise. This is because he's been on the recieving end of her spells in the past. And when he's on the recieving end again in season 2, he's absolutely terrified.
Hot-Blooded: She was pretty active hunting down Demon King army elites, and particularly against Vanir she got really heated.
Human Shield: Vanir callously uses her as this to block's Aqua's purification magic in Volume 8.
An Ice Person: During her adventuring days prior to becoming a lich, she excelled at and specialized in ice element magic. When truly enraged, she emits a freezing aura while casting cold themed spells, such as her now well-known Cursed Crystal Prison.
Idiot Hair: A big one spurts from the top of her head, and she's admittedly a pretty bad shopowner.
Immortality Begins at Twenty: She became a lich when she was 20 years old. Therefore, she's 20. You're not allowed to ask any more questions.
Important Hair Accessory: When she was a human adventurer, Wiz wore her cross brooch on her bangs. After she became a lich, she begun wearing the cross over her chest.
Kryptonite Factor: All of Aqua's abilities, including her water spells, are infused with the holy element. As a result, she can kill undead with something as insignificant as tears. Wiz is unable to accompany Kazuma's party on his adventures, even when it would be beneficial for everyone involved, because Aqua's collateral holy effect could destroy her.
Lap Pillow: Gives this to Kazuma by his request in the OVA, after he puts on a cursed choker in her shop that would slowly kill him. She is clearly embarrassed by it, but eventually agrees.
Let's Get Dangerous!: During the Alcanretia story arc, she follows Kazuma's party to the city of Alcanretia, place where they find one of the Demon King's generals, Ha ns, who makes the mistake of pushing her Berserk Button: killing a civilian. She's enraged. She's emitting a harsh, cold aura. She traps Hans in her Cursed Crystal Prison. She declares to him she's Neutral No Longer and battles him, no mercy. Oh, Crap!, indeed.
Aqua: Wiz is scaring me...
Level-Locked Loot: One reason her shop can't sell things, is because some merchandise is too high level or absurdly expensive. Axel is a town of first level adventurers, so she should be selling more Starter Equipment.
Life Drain: Drain Touch, which also functions as a Mana Drain, is a spell used by undead that she teaches to Kazuma early on.
Mana Burn: Suffers from it when trying to drain or use magic points taken from Aqua, because Aqua's magic is holy and she is undead.
Messy Hair: Has rather long, brown and unkempt hair with an ahoge at the top of her head, and a fringe that sometimes covers her right eye.
Money Dumb: Vanir can only marvel at how easily she loses money.
Most Common Superpower: Wiz is stacked, doesn't sag, and her massive boobs jiggle around a lot in the anime.
Ms. Fanservice: Wiz has a naturally curvy and a taller body than most other girls sans Darkness. During the anime, she's the subject of gags involving her body (mostly when Chomusuke is around).
Mundane Utility: She summons an army of ghosts to snoop on someone she thinks has a crush on her.
Mysterious Past: Her past is never fully revealed, is mentioned only in bits and pieces, and even stuff that she doesn't directly say, but her body language hints that it has a far deeper meaning than it appears. Subverted as of the Vanir spin-off, though it mostly just goes into detail on how she and Vanir met, and how she became a Lich in the first place.
Near-Death Experience: Or Near-Exorcism Experience, rather. She dreams of being at the banks of a river with Beldia and her former companions waving across at her.
Neutral No Longer: Though this is on an individual basis when one of her fellow generals attacks civilians.
Nice Girl: Despite her species and past line of work, Wiz is one of the sweetest, most compassionate people in the series. Just don't shoot a civilian if you're from the Devil King's army.
Nigh-Invulnerability: Barring assault with enchanted or holy weapons, liches can't be harmed by physical attacks. Liches can deal with mundane threats by simply eating all their attacks and using Drain Touch to suck out all their health. After learning this, Kazuma is very glad she's on their side.
No-Sell: As a lich, she can only be harmed by magic. Physical attacks without Magic Enhancement won't phase her, meaning she can let a Rookie Killer pounce on her and emerge unscathed.
Noble Demon: Even the "demon" part is pushing it, because she is so sweet. Really, the only reason she counts at all is basically is technically undead and nominally a leader in the Demon King's army.
Nominal Villain: She's one of the Demon King's generals holding up the barrier around his castle, but that's where her job with him ends since she doesn't want to get involved in any evil business and her actual role is being a Friendly Shopkeeper.
Noodle Incident: How she turned from one of the greatest adventurers in the world to a servant of the same Demon King she once tried to hunt down remains a mystery. In a more specific case, little is known as to how she became acquainted with Vanir, other than a vague mention of them being friends and him being one who does not die easily, implying they may have met when Wiz was still an adventurer. Though later on Vanir's Consultation Spin-Off shows how they first met and how she became a lich in the first place.
Oblivious to Love: She didn't know one of her party members had a crush on her until Vanir read his mind and revealed he wanted to marry Wiz.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When the normally meek and polite Wiz gets angry and takes off her gloves, she's genuinely intimidating.
Offscreen Moment of Awesome: In the novels, Kazuma is unconscious (due to her using Drain Touch on him) while she beats the tar out of Hans. This is averted in the Anime, where a full battle is shown.
One-Woman Army: After becoming a lich, she single-handedly assaulted the Demon King's castle, ripped a hole in the barrier with a single spell, and effortlessly defeated three of the Demon King's generals.
Our Liches Are Different: She's unique among her kind for appearing as a beautiful woman instead of the traditional robed skeletons.
Perpetual Poverty: Her shop is barely getting by, and is only still existing due to the support of the adventurers in Axel. It's later revealed that she blows much of her earnings on weird items that no one in their right mind would purchase, and upon Vanir effectively taking over operations, it's finally making a profit again, at least until she wastes it all on a poorly thought out business plan. The situation is so bad that she often goes days without food, though as a lich, this isn't too much of an issue.
Platonic Life-Partners: With Vanir. The pair live together, work together, and both have promised to remain at the other's side. Wiz has admitted she won't marry someone until Vanir first achieves his dream (because she doesn't want to divide her attention between the most important people in her life). That being said, Wiz still seeks someone to romantically love and Vanir tries to encourage her whenever she takes interest in someone.
Pointy-Haired Boss: She makes business selling incredibly high-level, expensive, and situationally useful magic items^note in a town populated mostly with low-level adventurers. As characters points out, the business ends up more in the red with the harder that Wiz works. Her taking business advice from Aqua certainly doesn't help. Her partner Vanir does what he can to keep the business going since he does have the common sense that Wiz lacks for business, but Wiz keeps getting them in debt by buying ridiculously expensive and flawed magic items.
Power at a Price: In her past, after her two teammates were cursed by Beldia, she used a forbidden magic item to greatly amplify her magic at the cost of her lifespan. In the end, Vanir ended up teaching her how to become a lich, an undead who has a limitless lifespan.
Power Stereotype Flip: She was quite a hothead when she was an adventurer. Ironically considering she used to be known as an "Ice Witch" for her powerful ice spells.
Pre-Asskicking One-Liner: Before her battle with Hans, after he makes the mistake of he ate a civilian, she declares to him that she's Neutral No Longer.
"The condition for my neutrality was that no non-combatants were to be killed. Isn't that right? [...] It's unavoidable that adventurers lose their lives in battle. They take the lives of monsters, and make their livings doing so. They should be prepared to meet a similar end. The same for knights... They collect taxes, and in exchange, they protect the citizenry. Since they receive that payment, their involvement in life-and-death battles is a natural consequence. However... [...] ...the nice old man who oversaw these hot springs didn't do anything wrong!"
Punch-Clock Villain: She was one of the Demon King's generals, but is not actively antagonistic to anyone (not anymore now that she's semi-retired).
Red Baron: In her days as an adventurer, she was known throughout the continent as the "Ice Witch". Also the (self-proclaimed) No Life King.
Retired Badass: Used to be a powerhouse even before becoming a lich and a general of the Demon King, but nowadays she mostly sticks around to managing her shop.
Revive Kills Zombie: She's even allergic to Aqua's tears. Kazuma has to use Drain Touch to resuscitate her with someone else's vitality, because healing magic will have the opposite effect.
Signature Move: Two — Drain Touch and Cursed Crystal Prison.
Spanner in the Works:
- Despite Hans' obviously suspicious behavior, Kazuma's party can't prove he's polluting Arcanletia's hot springs... until Wiz blows his cover by outing him as a Deadly Poison Slime while just trying to greet him.
- Serena nearly convinces Kazuma that the Demon King is actually a young girl Forced into Evil before Wiz yet again outs her as fellow General Seresdina with an innocent greeting.
Statuesque Stunner: She's up there with Darkness as one of the tallest women in the series, standing taller than most of Axel's regular people.
Stereotype Flip: Liches are typically portrayed as robed skeletons that wield powerful magics (normally necromancy) and are very evil. While Wiz is powerful, she looks like a young beautiful woman and is one of the most benign and innocent people in the series.
Story-Breaker Power: She only appears in slice-of-life moments whenever Kazuma's party visits her shop to stock up for their next big adventure, yet she is shown to be an incredibly powerful Arch-Wizard prior to becoming a lich, even knowing a version of Explosion that is just as powerful but not as taxing as Megumin's. Vanir's side story reveals just how powerful she was back in her adventuring days: She was powerful enough to effortlessly defeat Beldia, Hans and Sylvia all by herself. And that was only when she was a beginner Lich, since then she has apparently developed even more offensive magic to use. While her level is never mentioned, it was hinted at in the web novel to be significantly over Level 80. In comparison, the highest level member of Kazuma's group is Megumin in her 40's.
Stupid Sacrifice: Discussed — she would gladly let herself be destroyed or purified to defeat the Demon King and bring peace to the world, if it came to that. However, a being as powerful as Aqua (or a spell as powerful as Megumin's Explosion) could easily break through the Demon King's barrier even if two or three generals remain upholding it. She lets Aqua do it in Volume 15, but Aqua is unable to go through with it.
Tareme Eyes: Especially compared to the rest of the cast in the light novel and anime, her eyes are round. They highlight her meek and polite nature.
Token Evil Teammate: Very much downplayed, but even if she's a kind and heroic person, she's still a lich and a nominal member of the Demon King's forces.
Token Good Teammate: Though now retired, apparently she used to be this relative to the Demon King's other generals, since she only maintains the boss's barrier. However, Hans remarks that she never would have considered negiotating or talking-things-out before she became a lich, which casts doubt on this.
Took a Level in Kindness: According to Hans, she used to hunt monsters and such "liked dogs" and never ever considered talking things out with her enemies. Wiz sheepishly responds that she didn't see clearly back then.
Touch of Death: Drain Touch, the Signature Move of liches. It can also be used to transfer mana and vitality to others.
Undeathly Pallor: The only visible sign that Wiz is undead is her very pale skin.
Worf Had the Flu: Throughout the Alcanretia story arc, her close proximity and constant exposure to Aqua's divine aura kept her in a weakened state, as a result she was not at full power when she fought Hans. Not that she needed to, anyway.
- In Volume 7 of the Dust spinoff, she ends up running out of mana against an enemy general because she used Explosion earlier on the enemy's army and had also fought several other battles.
Worthy Opponent: She's the first human that Vanir ever recognized by name.
Would Not Shoot a Civilian: She stays neutral towards other members of the Demon King's army unless they break this rule. If you break it in front of her or boast that you did it, pray.

Vanir

Voiced by: Masakazu Nishida (Japanese), Robbie Daymond (Main Series, English), Anthony Bowling (Isekai Quartet, English)^{Foreign VAs}

An Arch-Devil, one of the seven Dukes of Hell and the second publicly proclaimed general of the Demon King encountered by the party. A devil who feeds on the negative emotions of people, though due to this he actually has a fondness for humanity and actively tries not to harm them. Notable for his impressive powers of foresight and clairvoyance.

The Ace: Aside from Aqua, he's among the strongest characters introduced, as he never fights seriously against humans as he prefers just trolling people. Rumors say he is possibly even stronger than the Demon King.
Action Bomb: His dolls self-destruct explosively after grabbing an enemy.
Affably Evil: He's a demon who loves feeding on negative emotions, but he's also very affable and acts as a civilized citizen after moving to Axel.
Antiquated Linguistics: Speaks in an archaic manner, using "wagahai" to refer to himself.^note and "nanji" to address others.
Arc Villain: Kazuma's party faces and defeats him in the last chapter of Volume 3. Unlike other of the Demon King's generals, he stays as a recurring character, although he isn't an antagonist anymore.
Assimilation Backfire: Downplayed. While he does manage to control Darkness and make her fight far more effectively than ever before, she can still talk and ruin all of his cool lines.
Bait-and-Switch: His favorite negative emotions are those that come as a result of this. He specifically mentions transforming himself into a beautiful woman, convincing a man to fall in love with him, then revealing his true form.
Vanir: Hahaha! Did you think that you have won? Unfortunately, what you have killed is only an erotic radish!
Batman Gambit: He's basically responsible for most of the events of Volume 7, nudging Kazuma onto a path that would lead to Alderp breaking his contract with Maxwell.
Beleaguered Assistant: Wiz's incompetency as a shopkeeper frustrates him to no end and often causes him to blast her with a laser out of sheer anger.
Big "SHUT UP!": Belts out several of these while possessing Darkness, as she keeps interrupting his dramatic lines and breaking the tension.
"Blackmail" Is Such an Ugly Word: He values "customer confidentiality". As in, become his customer and take his hilariously over-inflated price, and he won't oust you as the Demon King's general.
Chick Magnet: The Succubi find him very attractive as a fellow demon and become jealous when he shows interest in Luna.
Cool Mask: Which also happens to be his main body, the humanoid figure just being a means of moving around. He admires the Silver Hair thieving duo (Note: Kazuma and Chris) because of the Masked thief's similar taste in masks (Note: the mask he gave Kazuma).
Crystal Ball: See Fortune Teller below. He doesn't even need that, since he can see someone's past and future just by looking at them.
A Day in the Limelight: Has his own spin-off, with a series of short stories involving him counselling the other characters with his foresight.
Death by Irony: He uses explosive dolls on people and loses his first life after being blasted with the Explosion spell.
Defeat Means Friendship: After his first body is defeated, he declares that his contract with the Demon King to serve as one of his generals ended with that body and joins Wiz in running her magic shop, becoming an ally from that point on. However, that doesn't stop him from being a massive troll and screwing with the cast so he can feed off their negative emotions.
Devil in Disguise: Quite literally. To most people he's just another taxpaying magic shop's assistant.
Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: He enjoys trolling Aqua and ruining her selfish plans, even when they have nothing to do with him. He largely gets away with it by fleeing or having someone intervene before Aqua can One-Hit Kill him.
Emotion Eater: It's how he eats, feasting on the negative emotions of the people round him. Befitting of his trollish nature, he especially enjoys feelings of frustration, rage, shock, embarrassment, and shame.
Expressive Mask: His eye marks change shape in accordance to his mood, as the mask is his actual body.
Even Evil Has Standards: While he feeds off negative emotions, especially shame, he has no appetite for despair. As much of a troll Vanir is, at least he has a sense of honor that prevents him from causing dire, even fatal, harm to his victims.
Eye Beams: His Vanir-Style Death Ray. However, it burns his eyes after using it, so he hasn't actually used it before. He ends up using it when Wiz angers him with her bad business decisions.
Eyes Out of Sight: The top half of his face is always covered by a Domino Mask.
Face Death with Dignity: When Kazuma's party manages to corner him, Vanir accepts his defeat with good grace and allows Megumin's Explosion to blow up his mask, as he finds that better than being exorcised by Aqua.
Faking the Dead: He was killed as far as anyone in the Devil King's army knows.
A Form You Are Comfortable With: An odd example, in that everything about his current appearance is something he created to somewhat appear normal, even the mask is something he is just possessing. His real body is still in Hell.
Fortune Teller: He can use his divination powers of foresight to see the future of others. He'll typically do so via cryptic words, rather than just tell them what will happen, because that'll just be boring. He also totally needs you to answer a series of embarrassing questions for the divination to work and not just touch his crystal ball.
Graceful Loser: He's a rather good sport about being defeated by Kazuma's party and losing one of his masks to Megumin's Explosion.
Grand Theft Me: He can possess people by forcibly applying his mask to their faces.
Greed: Subverted. Despite that his foresight ability would be incredibly useful in making tons of money, allowing him to easily finance the construction of the dungeon of his dreams, he refuses to do so knowing that ultimately nothing good will come from abusing his power in such a way. He is completely flabbergasted that Aqua, a goddess, does not understand that.
Heel–Face Turn: After his first mask is destroyed, he quits maintaining the Demon King's barrier and works at Wiz's shop instead.
Hey, You!: He never calls people by their name, instead just addressing them with very long-winded, disturbingly detailed, and frequently embarrassing descriptors, aside from a few of his demonic peers. He generally calls Wiz "incompetent shopkeeper", only using her actual name when trying to stop her from letting Aqua exorcise her.
Horrifying the Horror: When he possessed Darkness, her masochism scared the hell out of him.
Hypercompetent Sidekick: He's the one who keeps Wiz's business going somehow. Without him, Wiz can only drag her shop deeper in the red.
Hypocritical Humor: Considers Kazuma to be the strangest person he has ever met, this coming from the Devil who works part-time at a shop and is technically just a mask.
Implacable Man: Is surprisingly tough and when he possesses Darkness he is nearly invincible.
Insult Backfire: He preaches to the Axis cultists that Aqua is really a nuisance who does nothing but laze around and eat and drink. They actually take this as a compliment, since Aqua teaches that people should eat, drink, and enjoy themselves when they can as one of the Axis Cult's tenets.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's undoubtedly a troll of the highest order who often manipulates situations to cause maximum humiliation to his victims, friend or foe. Despite of that, he often goes out of his way to aid those whom he has acknowledged as his friend.
Large Ham: He always speaks in a theatrical used-car salesman manner.
Marionette Master: He creates an army of dolls.
Mask of Power: His mask is his actual body (the man seemingly wearing it is just animated dirt), and it can possess and empower those who wear it. He also sells lookalike masks, which Kazuma uses to hide his identity while thieving with Chris.
Might Makes Right: He and his fellow devils follow this philosophy. The strong stands on top, and the weak are there to be used by the strong. That said, while he does believe in this, he is not above using loopholes to protect those weaker than him.
Mind Rape: Anyone he possesses are said to experience severe mental trauma if they resist. Pity for him he tried to take over Darkness.
Mirror Character: From Kazuma; their inner narration isn't so far apart, with both of them having witty comments towards the oddities surrounding them. The only real difference is that Vanir tends to keep his retorts to himself, while Kazuma can't help but comment on it. As confirmed by the author, Vanir and Wiz's friendship is meant to be a reflection of Kazuma and Aqua's: a Straight Man who gets driven up the walls by a ditzy woman he's stuck with, and for some reason their relationship will never evolve to a romantic one.
Monster Clown: Has this appearance, with his mask and suit, but doesn't quite act in a clown-ish manner, unless you count the trolling, which is supposed to amuse and feed him.
Morton's Fork: Has to choose between being beaten by Aqua's holy magic or Megumin's Explosion. The former would be more disgraceful for devils, so he picks the latter.
Mundane Utility: Uses his clairvoyance to cheat in card games.
Vanir: Alright, then allow Moi to go first. Oho~, it seems that Moi have safely accrued a pair. Oho~, another pair? Eheh~, what is happening here!? Has Moi completed all the pairs in a single turn? Then Moi shall take what you bet.
No Biological Sex: He repeatedly emphasizes that devils have no sexuality, romantic inclinations, or even gender, though Wiz apparently has trouble believing this.
Noble Demon: Always keeps his word no matter what. While he may use people for personal gain, he would also help them in his own cryptic way as well. Even though he may say that he follows his race's philosophy of Might Makes Right, he'll use loopholes to help those in need. Although he's well aware and admits he'll likely have a much easier time gathering the funds needed to make the dungeon of his dreams without Wiz's help, he made a promise to Wiz to fulfill his dream together and so sticks with her no matter what.
Nominal Villain: Even though he's a general of the Demon King, he doesn't do anything truly evil and just enjoys being a Troll for the most part.
Not-So-Harmless Villain: He's the most comedic of the Demon King's generals, and that's saying something. However, he is still a duke of hell, defeats Wiz in her backstory, temporarily turns Darkness into a skilled Lightning Bruiser when possessing her, and doesn't stay dead after his first defeat. Fortunately, he makes a Heel–Face Turn and is no longer an enemy.
Not Worth Killing:
- Despite initially being hostile towards Aqua and wanting to kill her due to Arch-Devils being enemies of the gods, after his defeat he gave up all desires to harm her. The reason is because Aqua is such an antithesis to how he expects gods to act that he refuses to see her as one.
- This is Kazuma's first reaction when they meet. He seemed rather self-serving (i.e., not very loyal to the Demon King), and openly admitted that he didn't want to harm anyone (except for Aqua).
Only Sane Man: Even being a duke of hell, he considers the town he resides in to be strange. Especially when interacting with people like Wiz and Aqua.
Pet the Dog:
- Though he does use her as free labour and to help him with random schemes, his promise to be Yunyun's friend is actually mostly genuine, and he is seen hanging out with her, Dust and Wiz on many occasions.
- The Dust spinoff shows that he helps out Dust with his problems just as often as he teases him, with Dust genuinely respecting him.
Platonic Life-Partners: With Wiz. The pair live together, work together, and both have promised to remain at the other's side. Wiz has admitted she won't marry someone until Vanir first achieves his dream (because she doesn't want to divide her attention between the most important people in her life). That being said: Wiz still seeks someone to romantically love and Vanir tries to encourage her whenever she takes interest in someone.
Poke the Poodle: His Evil Plan is basically just a prank; he wants to make adventurers kill him in an epic battle and then delight himself with seeing them disappointed when they find out there's no reward in his dungeon.
Precognition: His main power is seeing the past and future, though he uses it more for trolling than anything else.
Red Baron: The Devil of Clairvoyance.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: His eye marks turn into glowing red when he's using his clairvoyance, or about to fire his Eye Beams.
Sarcastic Devotee: To Wiz. He insults her for being an incompetent shopkeeper who wastes all of their money on useless magic items, to the point of frequently blasting her with his laser beams. Despite that, he will never quit working with her.
Shapeshifter Default Form: His physical body in the mortal realm is only a mask. He mainly takes the form of a handsome man in a suit, but he can alter his appearance as he wishes (usually for Trolling motives).
Shapeshifting Seducer: One of his most epic Troll moves is transforming into a sexy succubus for a Beauty Contest and then turn back to his normal self so he can revel in the male audience's shock and anger. Also, more seriously, he takes Darkness' appearance in order to trick Alderp into finally freeing Maxwell from his contract.
Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: His relationship with Aqua is basically bickering neighbors. The two are constantly arguing and fighting whenever they are near each other.
The Social Darwinist: Being a demon, he firmly believes it's only natural for the strong to trample over the weak. For that reason, he refuses to help those who aren't even willing to fight for themselves.
Summon Bigger Fish: The non-exploding Vanir Dolls that he sells as a form of home security essentially enable his customers to invoke this. The dolls ward off demons and evil spirits based on their fear and respect of the Duke of Hell, and are one of the most popular items sold at Wiz's shop. Kazuma lampshades that owning a semi-sentient doll that laughs in the middle of the night isn't much better than having your home possessed by an evil spirit.
Telepathy: He has the power to read minds and typically uses this ability to expose embarrassing secrets.
Tempting Fate: He once jokingly told Wiz that she would have needed to learn Explosion magic if she wanted to get rid of one of his lives. Years later, he indeed loses his first life to Megumin's Explosion.
This Cannot Be!: When he finds out that Darkness actually enjoys the pain he causes her for resisting the possession.
Thou Shall Not Kill: Towards humans because he feeds off their negative emotions. Killing them will just make good food go to waste. While harming and killing them may provide with great negative emotions, he still refuses to do so since he has no taste for despair. The only human to ever force him to break this rule was Wiz prior to her becoming a lich.
Troll
- His Evil Plan is to renovate a dungeon to be extremely rigged and difficult, and then fight the adventurers at the bottom with the promise of great treasure awaiting them. After losing, he will drop a chest containing a slip of paper thanking them for their patronage, just to create a "Shaggy Dog" Story for the adventurers and feed on their negative emotions.
- Also he disguised himself as a sexy succubus during the festival then subsequently revealed himself, much to the onlookers chagrin.
- He seems to take a liking to Luna and even takes over her stressful job for a day so she can rest. This almost seems like a Ship Tease and causes the onlookers to see Vanir in a different light, until he reveals that he got close to her and listened to her complaints in order to absorb her negative emotions. Needless to say, everyone in the building flipped out at the revelation.
- When he first met Wiz and her party, he pretended to die and then revealed he was still alive the moment they teleported out of the dungeon, forcing them to spend over a week to traverse his dungeon if they want to fight him again. Needless to say, he effortlessly No Sells all their attempts to kill him while humiliating them further.
- One night, he tells Kazuma that he plans to climb to the top of an Axis church and replace its holy symbol with a sensually-shaped radish.
Undying Loyalty: Leaving Wiz to accomplish his dream quicker has never been a serious option to him. In Volume 13, Vanir assures her that he will accompany her until they finally accomplish his dream, even if it takes thousands of years to do so.
Videogame Lives: He can come back to life as long as he has spare masks. After Megumin Explodes him, his mask from then on has a numeral "II".
Villains Out Shopping: After his initial defeat he is noted for doing mundane tasks around town like scaring away crows for his neighbors.
Virgin-Shaming: He sometimes makes fun of Wiz's single status, greatly annoying her as a result.
Wild Card: He's not evil and often gives Kazuma hints and advice which ultimately proves beneficial sometime during his current adventure, but everything he does is ultimately for his own benefit, and he's on no one's side but his own.
Worthy Opponent: The only human that he's recognized by name is Wiz.
Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe: His manner of speech is slightly odd to put it lightly.

The Guild's Staff

Luna

Voiced by: Sayuri Hara (Japanese), Erika Harlacher (English)^{Foreign VAs}

The head waitress and receptionist at the Axel Adventurers' Guild.

Adaptational Hairstyle Change: The light novels and anime depict her with her hair tied back in a bun. In the main series' manga, she has loose hair and wears a bonnet.
Adaptational Modesty: In the light novels and anime, she wears skimpy clothes that reveal her shoulders, cleavage and legs. In the main series' manga, she wears a modest maid dress that shows little to no skin.
Bearer of Bad News: She tends to become this for Kazuma and Aqua when completing a quest.
Berserk Button: She really dislikes it when people bring up her single status.
Cool Big Sis: She has a big sisterly aura about her and tries to act as a calming sister figure for adventurers and her coworkers.
Green-Eyed Monster: She really doesn't like hearing about her coworkers in other towns getting married.
Impossibly-Low Neckline: Her shirt reveals her shoulders and most of her bust.
Manipulative Bitch: Starts to show this side of her in volume 11, blatantly manipulating the adventurers into taking the quests that no one has picked, as well as exploiting certain characters' weaknesses (i.e. Komekko's love of food or Kazuma's perverseness) so that they do what she wants.
Married to the Job: She's very concerned that she's still single, mostly due to having to handle all the troublesome adventurers at the guild and having to work overtime, which takes a toll on her romantic prospects.
Mission Control: When a city-wide disaster occurs, she utilizes an announcement system to relay information and instructions.
Ms. Fanservice: The anime loves to show her impressive chest from various angles.
Odd Friendship: She's on good terms with Vanir despite him previously being a member of the Demon King's army and a Devil.
Quest Giver: Her main duty is to manage the requests board and alert adventurers to emergency quests.
Shoot the Messenger: A heavily downplayed example, but the fact that she keeps giving Aqua bad news has led to her becoming the target of abuse from the goddess.
Woman Scorned: Puts out a bounty on Vanir after he pulls his usual routine on her to get some negative emotions to eat.

Other Guild Members

In General

A Day In The Lime Light: While Dust usually has the most prominence, in the light novel and manga adaptation, Kazuma adventures with all but Dust when he switches parties with Dust for a day. In the spin-offs works, the other three, especially Lynn, are given additional focus.
Civvie Spandex: Their attire is rather odd for a medieval fantasy setting. Keith and Lynn both sport modern-looking jackets complete with pockets and zippers, and Taylor wears a collared shirt with a green tie under his armor.
Demoted to Extra: Their focus chapter that happens early in the story never made it into the Anime, and as a result many of their qualities and overall impact on the plot were cut from the adaptation. Taylor and Lynn are hit especially hard by it, as they aren't given any real dialogue beyond background chatter.
Everybody Knew Already: Keith and Taylor had already pieced together that Dust was formerly a member of nobility, due to his blond hair, unnatural (forced) way of speaking, and high starting stats, but didn't delve any deeper because they felt it was a sensitive topic. Only Lynn was particularly interested in learning more about his past, if only because she was annoyed he was hiding something from them.
Fighter, Mage, Thief: About as classic of an example as you can get. Taylor serves as the front-line Mighty Glacier, Lynn doubles as both a Glass Cannon and Support Party Member with her mix of offensive and defensive magic, and Keith is your typical Fragile Speedster archer.
Foil: To Kazuma's party. They make up a well-balanced 4-man team of rookie adventurers, but lack the crippling-overspecialization traits of Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness.

Dust

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dus_anime.png

Voiced by: Junji Majima (Japanese), Lucien Dodge (English)^{Foreign VAs}

A delinquent adventurer who always causes trouble for the guild and his party. First encountered by Kazuma resulting in a short lived swapping of their parties.

Aerith and Bob: Alongside rather normal Anglo-Celtic names like Taylor, Lynn, and Keith. This foreshadows the fact that it's actually an alias picked more out of Rule of Cool than to have a convincing "commoner's" name.
Ascended Extra: He goes from being a minor reoccurring character in the main series to the star of his own 7-volume spin-off. Interesting enough, this all got kickstarted with Megumin's spinoff dropping hints about his past.
Be Careful What You Wish For: He takes Kazuma's place in the party for a day thinking he's going to experience the life of a Battle Harem protagonist. One encounter with the Rookie Killer later and he's begging to switch back to his old team.
Born Unlucky: All his stats are top-notch except for his Luck, which is said to be second only to Aqua's for how low it is.
The Charmer: Despite his reputation, Dust has a uncanny ability to manipulate people to going along with his schemes through flattery.
Crazy Jealous Guy: In Volume 7, Dust convinces Kazuma to help him stalk a noble because he believes that the noble is dating his fellow party member Lynn. Said noble actually had an obsessive crush on Dust. Otherwise he seems oblivious to his own feelings for Lynn.
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Chris/Eris claims that his stupid behavior seems like an act. It is heavily implied that he is in fact a Dragon Knight from another country who was renowned as the master of the spear.
Cynicism Catalyst: "Kidnapping" Princess Leonore did a number on his psyche and made him realize that nobility and etiquette were just a farce.
A Day in the Limelight: His spinoff focuses on his various misadventures as he goes from one crazy get-rich-quick scheme to the next and his past as a disgraced Dragon Knight.
Dragon Knight: Gets implied in the main series and later confirmed in his own spin-off that Dust is a legendary dragon knight from another country, and the subject of a famous noble tale.
Fluffy Tamer: Dragons seem to be universally attracted to him, and contrary to his irreverent personality, he always treats them with utmost respect leading to him being the youngest person to ever achieve the advanced job "Dragon Rider". Comes to a head in his spin-off's last volume, where the Demon King's commander finds herself strangely infatuated with him only for her to be revealed to be an elder dragon in human form.
Foil: Towards Kazuma. They share similar temperaments, but most of Kazuma's misfortune comes from the antics of his party while Dust's comes from his own vices. And later, while Kazuma manages to get rich through his own hard work, Dust's Get Rich Quick Schemes and Laborious Laziness tend to only end with him penniless.
Foreshadowing: His blond hair is notable in that it is typically a trait exclusive to nobility, implying Dust may have been much higher up the social ladder than anyone first assumed, which would be confirmed in Explosions Volume 3. While his name and background are hidden in a conversation overheard by Yunyun, long before his spotlight chapter in Explosions Continued, Dust is later revealed to be an exiled Dragon Knight, forced to leave his home after he gave a princess a ride on his dragon.
The Friend Nobody Likes:
- Gets juggled back and forth between being this and Vitriolic Best Buds with both his party and the rest of the Adventure's Guild.
- Yunyun kind of goes back and forth with it. She initially denied the idea of ever being friends with him due to Dust tricking her into being an accomplice in one of his crimes, but she still finds herself hanging out with him.
- Dust initially butted heads with Kazuma, but after spending a day with Kazuma's party he gained a begrudging respect for Kazuma. The two wind up becoming drinking buddies. Note, that in Volume 3, when Kazuma is asked if Dust is his friend...the lie detector does not go off to "An acquaintance."
The Greatest Story Never Told: During the Demon King Army's invasion of Axel, he fought an Elder Dragon with Lynn while riding atop his own dragon Faitfore. However, neither he or his party can talk about what happened without revealing his and Faitfore's identities, which causes everyone to assume he just hid for most of the battle.
Harem Seeker: One of the initial reasons he's antagonistic towards Kazuma is because he views him as being in the center of a Battle Harem, something which Dust himself would like to have. When he trades parties with Kazuma for a day, he realizes just how much of a nightmare it is actually being in Kazuma's party. In Volume 2 of his own spinoff, Dust temporarily achieves this with a makeshift party of himself, his normal party member Lynn, and Yunyun and the Loli Succubus. Again, he quickly realizes the downside of this type of party composition because quickly the topic of conversation turns to the three girls trading stories on Dust's vices.
Heroes Prefer Swords: Being of the warrior class his is a sword. Though Chris notes that his movements and stance resembles a spear wielder more.
Hero of Another Story: Dust ended up becoming The Hero of his own spin-off Light Novel Series, appropriately titled A Time in the Limelight for this Fool, Too!
His Story Repeats Itself: Volume 3 of his spinoff has him giving a lonely princess (Iris) a ride on a dragon to cheer her up, the same exact act which got him banished from his country.
Horrifying the Horror: His talent at being a conniving scumbag either impresses or frightens actual devils.
I Am Not Left-Handed: It gets confirmed in his spin-off that a lot of Dust's incompetence comes down to him just being a poor swordsman in general. When given a lance, he becomes a One-Man Army.
In Vino Veritas: Kazuma tends to share secrets with him when he's drunk, such as the incident with the succubus. This is probably why Dust thinks they're friends even though Kazuma is being truthful when he denies it.
"It" Is Dehumanizing: Megumin doesn't even acknowledge him by name in her spinoff, simply calling him "that thing".
It May Help You on Your Quest: Before the final battle, Dust lends Kazuma his magic sword so that he has a weapon that harm the demon king. It has a one-time protective enchantment that blocks a fatal attack at the cost of breaking, which saves Kazuma from one of the Demon King's attacks.
Japanese Delinquents: Acts likes this, and the guild treats him like one. Is a fairly frequent resident in the local jail because of his behavior.
Lascivious Beauty Mark: He has a mole under his left eye and is possibly the most perverted man in all of Axel, surpassing even Kazuma in his lecherous antics.
Leeroy Jenkins: In Volume 2 of his spinoff, during a mission to defeat a Hydra organized by Kazuma, Dust decides to break ranks when he sees an opening to cut off the Hydra's head hoping to take the bounty entirely for himself. He ends up getting eaten. Aqua thankfully ends up resurrecting him.
Lovable Sex Maniac: He openly revels in being a pervert, such as trying to steal the waitresses' panties in Season 2 Episode 3 after Kazuma uses Steal again on Chris, and peeps on Axel's public baths.
Mr. Vice Guy: As pointed out by his party-member Lynn, Dust would actually be a successful adventurer if he wasn't so lazy. His tendency to resort to get rich quick schemes constantly bites him in the ass.
Offscreen Moment of Awesome: During his unfortunate stint with Kazuma's party he managed to single handily drive off the Rookie Killer with nothing but Megumin's staff, which he used as an improvised spear.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business:
- When Faitfore (literally) falls into his lap, everyone in Axel is incredibly disturbed that Dust, who is normally a greedy Lazy Bum, would work so hard to take care of an unrelated child with no strings attached.
Perpetual Poverty: He's constantly in dire financial straits due to his frequent mishaps. It gets to the point where he sometimes purposely gets himself arrested just to get free food and a roof over his head.
Properly Paranoid: In Volume 5 of his spinoff (which takes place at the same time as Volume 15 of the main series), his past experiences with priests makes him wary of Serena and her charitability. As a result, he's one of the few adventurers in Axel who manages to avoid becoming one of her puppets.
The Resenter: Initially towards both Kazuma and Mitsurugi due to them both apparently having Battle Harems. Though his later first-hand experience with how troublesome both harems actually are leads him to have a begrudging respect for both.
Took a Level in Kindness: The second volume of Dust's spinoff has toned down his vices quite a bit. He's less of a schemer and overall terrible person, and acts generally friendlier to his guildmates. His past begrudging respect towards Kazuma has now even become genuine and after a successful mission, even promises to treat Kazuma for once to their next drinking party.
Willfully Weak: He only appears weak due to promising a certain princess to only use a sword as an adventurer. When he grasps a spear, he proves that the tales about him were no exaggerations.
You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Despite his horrible reputation, the disgust of his peers, and his own firm belief that his delinquent self is his true self, Eris notes that he has a ridiculously high amount of good karma from his time as a Dragon Knight, which is not something which would just happen if he was only fulfilling his duty as a Knight.

Keith

Voiced by: Wataru Hatano (Japanese)

The archer of Dust's team.

Mentor Archetype: In the light novels and manga, Keith is the one who teaches Kazuma the archer skills Foresight and Snipe, both of which become a major part of his arsenal.

Taylor

Voiced by: Reiou Tsuchida (Japanese)

The leader of Dust's team.

Adaptation Personality Change: In the light novels, Taylor is noted to be very straight-laced and a devout Eris practitioner. However, in the anime scene where the male adventurers of Axel rally to assault the Destroyer, he can be seen clutching a fistful of Succubus shop coupons along with Keith and Dust.
The Big Guy: He's the party's front-line tank.
Foil: Taylor serves as one to Darkness from Kazuma's team. While both are devout followers of the Eris Faith, Darkness is Too Kinky to Torture and can't hit the broadside of a barn. Taylor meanwhile is very straight laced, to the point Dust and Keith worry what would happen should he learn of the Succubus Club, and is a full fledged tank for his team.
Hunk: He's very tall and rather well-built.
The Leader: He's the leader of his party.
Religious Bruiser: Like Darkness, Taylor is a Crusader who follows the teachings of the Eris Sect. Unlike Darkness, he's much more serious about it and is called out for being "unreasonably inflexible about certain things" — notably Dust and Keith are very careful to keep the Succubus Cafe a secret from him in order to protect the proprietors.

Lynn

Voiced by: Yumiri Hanamori (Japanese)

The Wizard of Dust's team. Lynn is the one forced to keep a leash on Dust when he does something stupid.

A-Cup Angst: Dust is constantly making fun of her small breast size.
Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: The people of Axel unilaterally designated Lynn as Dust's guardian. Whenever someone has a problem regarding Dust, they go to her. Whenever Dust is arrested, she's the one who picks him up from jail.
Distaff Counterpart: For Kazuma. She has brown hair and green eyes identical to his and wears green sports modern-looking attire that makes her stick out in Konosuba's high fantasy setting. In the same way Kazuma is his party's only guy, Lynn is her party's only girl. She's also the person that the townsfolk go to whenever Dust and Keith cause a ruckus, the same way Kazuma is called on to deal with Aqua and Darkness.
Identical Stranger: She happens to look exactly like Princess Leonore with differently-colored hair and smaller breasts. This is one of the reasons Dust chooses to join her party.
Little Bit Beastly: Lynn has a raccoon-like tail, but lacks the classic animal ears to go with it.
Prince and Pauper: In Volume 6 of Dust's spinoff, she switches places with Princess Leonore because the latter wants to experience life as an adventurer and the former wants to learn more about Dust's past. When it comes time for them to switch back, the Princess's servants want to keep the "new" Leonore around because she isn't nearly as much of a troublemaker as the old "beta" Leonore.
The Smurfette Principle: She's the only female member of an otherwise all-male party.
Stocking Filler: She wears a black stocking belt.

Succubus Cafe

In General

Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Succubi wear midriff-baring outfits.
Dream Weaver: Succubi can put people to sleep and make them dream as they wish. They do this by touching them and casting the spell.
Pink Is Erotic: The succubi seen at the ship have pink hair and their speciality is giving sexual dreams to their clients.
Succubi and Incubi: Succubi in this world don't actually have sex with their victims, but just give them erotic dreams while they drain their vitality.

Receptionist Succubus

Voiced by: Kotono Mitsuishi (Japanese), Julie Ann Taylor (English)^{Foreign VAs}

One of the employees of the Succubus Cafe that services male adventurers in Axel.

Ms. Fanservice: She's a very sexy and voluptuous wearing very revealing lingerie.
Pointy Ears: She has long and pointed ears.
Walking Swimsuit Scene: Her outfit looks like a string bikini.

Lolisa

"Lolisa"

Voiced by: Nanami Yamashita (Japanese), Kira Buckland (English)^{Foreign VAs}

A rookie succubus who takes the form of a young girl. After nearly getting exorcised at Kazuma's house, she frequently gets roped into Dust or Vanir's shenanigans.

Age-Inappropriate Dress: She wears a highly erotic and risque lingerie-esque outfit, but it looks extremely inappropriate in her prepubescent body, compared to the more voluptuous succubi at the shop.
Ascended Extra: Becomes a major supporting character in the Dust spin-off.
A Day in the Limelight: She gets a lot more attention in the Spin-Off novels, Consulting With This Masked Devil! and A Limelight On This Fool Too!.
Deadly Nosebleed: Upon glimpsing "nudes" of Vanir, she experienced one potent nosebleed enough to deplete one of her Video-Game Lives.
Fangirl: She is devoted to Vanir, who hardly seems to register her.
Flight: Her wings allow her to fly.
Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: Surprisingly (or perhaps unsurprisingly, given the setting), she's kind-hearted and naïve for a succubus who weaves erotic dreams for a living and feeds off of humans to survive.
Impossibly-Low Neckline: She wears a strapless one-piece dress, exposing her shoulders, collarbone and a bit of cleavage.
Interspecies Friendship: She becomes fast friends with Yunyun and Lynn, which also makes her the first succubus from the cafe to have human friends outside of their clientele.
Lotus-Eater Machine: One of the applications of combining her Sleep spell with her innate Dream Weaver abilities.
Mercury's Wings: She has small pink bat wings sprouting from the top of her head.
Mind Rape: The other application of combining the Sleep Spell with her Dream Weaver abilities. Dust has her use her powers on a would-be rapist to make him experience being assaulted by Female Orcs.
Older Than She Looks: She may be young for a succubus, but she's stated to be considerably older than the rest of the human cast despite looking around the same age as Megumin.
Only Known by Their Nickname: Dust gives her the pseudonym "Lolisa" for when she's in the company of humans who don't know about the Succubus cafe. He picked that name specifically so he would have an excuse if he accidentally starts to call her Loli Succubus in public.
Secret-Keeper: Lolisa is one of two people, the other being Lynn, who learns about Dust's past as a Dragon Knight. He revealed it to her in the 6th volume of his spin-off since he had been keeping several of her secrets up to that point as well.
Stocking Filler: She wears a garter belt and stockings.
Support Party Member: Succubi might be poor fighters on their own, but their ability to cast debilitating spells such as Sleep, Charm, and Paralyze makes Loli Succubus a useful addition to Dust's party.
Token Mini-Moe: Unlike other succubi that are hot and sexy adult women, Lolisa is a small and cute young-looking girl.
Withholding Their Name: As a lesser demon, she doesn't reveal her true name so mortals can't rope her into unwanted contracts.
Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Dust teaches her to do this in order to exploit people falling under The Dulcinea Effect.

Prosecution Office

Sena

Voiced by: Hitomi Nabatame (Japanese), Allegra Clark (English)^{Foreign VAs}

A royal prosecutor of Belzerg who is stationed at Axel.

Adaptational Heroism: In the anime. While not completely on the villainous side to begin with in the light novel (despite being willing to execute a death sentence on Kazuma), Sena is actually willing to let Kazuma off in the anime's season two, having admitted she was mistaken, and clearly intimidated by his mannerisms... until the overconfident Kazuma answers "No" to "I have not associated with anyone in the Demon King's army", having forgotten he associated himself with Wiz.
Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: She blames Megumin's frequent use of Explosion magic, which she attributes to Kazuma, for triggering massive damage to the landscape, altering the town's ecosystem, and causing excessive noise pollution.
Bad Cop/Incompetent Cop: Without any physical evidence, or solid testimony, she arrests, interrogates, and harasses Kazuma at every turn, for suspicion of being a Demon King agent during Volume 3, automatically accusing him of causing Axel's woes. It takes him defeating Vanir in front of her at the end of Volume 3 to make her stop. She was even happily arguing for a death sentence against him at the start of Volume 3, because he was the one leading the fight to save the town from The Destroyer at the end of Volume 2. Heck, when the adventurer's guild actually stands up for Kazuma, she threatens to arrest all of them too.
"A few extra arrests don't bother me."
The Comically Serious: What does Sena do after she finishes hearing the third testimony in the court set for Kazuma's case? Make a Boobs-and-Butt Pose while saying "Thank you very much."
Dirty Cop: She agrees to turn a blind eye to the activities of the Succubus shop in exchange for using their services to live out her Yaoi fantasies in her dreams, as well as subtly influence the dreams of the other patrons so they find her more attractive.
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The way Sena emerges out of a frog which swallowed her and Aqua whole in Season 2 Episode 2 looks like she's having an orgasm (complete with breasts bouncing).
Everyone Has Standards: In the anime, she’s clearly not happy about Alderp trying to force the verdict.
Insane Troll Logic: Her "evidence" against Kazuma essentially boils down to this. The only claim she makes that has any arguable merit is how Kazuma knows Drain Touch, a spell normally only used by undead and demons. Even the judge realizes how ridiculous her claims are and would have acquitted Kazuma right then and there if not for Alderp rigging things.
Is It Always Like This?: She asks this when supervising Kazuma's party, in light of their bizarre way of eliminating Giant Toads.
Jerkass Has a Point: Any competent attorney or law enforcement official would be rightfully suspicious of someone with Kazuma's reputation, especially considering all the rumors surrounding him. The fact that most of the town's problems in Volume 3 were directly or indirectly linked to the actions of Kazuma's party did not help.
Lawful Stupid: What convinced Sena that Kazuma is a minion of the Demon King and deserves death? The fact that Kazuma ordered Wiz to use "random teleport" on the destroyer's Corotonite power core. Which, by pure chance, happened to appear in Lord's house. She never even considered that this was Kazuma's best option available, actually resulted in absolutely zero deaths (which is an amazing accomplishment considering the town was fighting a machine that exterminated an entire country), and anything else would, most likely, have destroyed everyone and everything in the entire town, including the lord's mansion with no time to evacuate, or have been set off in some place far more delicate, because all of Wiz's marked teleport locations were currently heavily populated. Sena never even considered the possibility of a plea bargain, or leniency due to extenuating circumstances, even when these were pointed out.
Lie Detector: What she uses to interrogate who she is prosecuting. Unfortunately, since she relies on it so much to obtain evidence, Sena almost ends up causing Kazuma getting executed... until he argues in the Kangaroo Court (in presence of the lie detector) he was, indeed, not guilty of the charges pressed against him. Even the judge calls the device "unreliable" during the court.
No Indoor Voice: She's always screaming out Kazuma's name at the top of her voice when delivering a court summons.
Sena: SATOU KAZUMA! IS SATOU KAZUMA HERE!?
Obstructive Bureaucrat: Purely on the "evidence" of her magical lie detector device, she presumes Kazuma is guilty of being a Demon King agent, and pushes for the death penalty in court. Though this is a Kangaroo Court we're talking about, run by Axel's mayor, Lord Alderp. However, Sena softens as she supervices Kazuma's heroic actions, and her opinion of him finally does a 180° turn after he helps defeat Vanir in her presence, exonerating Kazuma of all charges.
- Slides, however, into Corrupt Bureaucrat territory in the Dust spinoff — Sena doesn't hesitate to abuse her position in order to receive the services of the Succubus shop free of charge.
Punch-Clock Villain: She can be considered one as she is Kazuma's prosecutor, but other than that, she's simply doing her job, making her allingment neutral. She's also on Kazuma's side once he defeats Vanir.
Reasonable Authority Figure: She's kind and friendly to everyone who is not her prime suspect.
Reassigned to Antarctica: She was assigned to Axel after falsely accusing Zesta of sabotaging the city. The Arch Priest made sure to tell her not to falsely accuse anyone else of treason, and we all know how well that turned out.
Stoic Spectacles: She wears glasses, and generally acts calm and professional during her job.
Tsurime Eyes: More slanted than those of Megumin, and they highlight her "no-nonsense" nature.
Woman Scorned: In the Dust spinoff she's gotten so frustrated with her single status that she becomes president of "The Association to Protect Women's Chances of Marriage," and leads a witch hunt to smoke out and destroy the Succubus Cafe.
Yaoi Fangirl: Dust finds this out the hard way, when he hastily comes up with the excuse that Axel is a hotspot for gays in an attempt to keep the true nature of the Succubus Cafe a secret.
Sena: It seems to be the truth. But, there have been occasions where this magic item has reacted strangely... It isn’t ideal to rely solely on this. So, could you give me proof that you really like men? This is necessary to the investigation. It’s definitely not because I personally want to see it.
- According to her female coworkers, this is the REAL reason why she's still single — the kind of straight-laced guys who would go for a serious workaholic like her and agree to a marriage meeting end up getting thrown for a loop when they discover her true personality.

Otherworlders

Kyouya Mitsurugi

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kyouya_konosuba_7.png

Voiced by: Kosuke Toriumi (Japanese, Drama CD), Takuya Eguchi (Japanese, Anime), Billy Kametz (English)^{Foreign VAs}

Another Japanese man Aqua sent to this world prior to Kazuma. A handsome, noble hero — the complete opposite of Kazuma.

Accidental Misnaming: Upon encountering him in the castle some time after their initial meeting, Kazuma's internal narration recalled his name as Matsuragi at first, then referred to him as Katsuragi after that. Has crossed the line to Malicious Misnaming among the fandom, who rarely refer to him by his real surname, even on official popularity contest entries.
Be Careful What You Say: He said to Kazuma that he will have anything he wants if he defeated him... 10 minutes later he regrets it.
Butt-Monkey: Whenever his adventures intersects with Kazuma. He's generally a heroic and well-meaning fellow, with a long list of successful achievements and admirers, which makes his bumbling around Kazuma even more hilarious.
Chick Magnet: He is accompanied by two girls who constantly vie for his attention; one a warrior and the other a thief. Cecily considered him attractive enough to be her Meal Ticket.
The Chosen One: Played with. Kyouya believes Aqua specifically chose him to save the world. In truth, not only had she forgotten him due to having sent too many Japanese to the world to even bother with their names, but she also reveals that her "summon" were just generic stock lines.
Chronic Hero Syndrome: Deconstructed. Like the usual light novel/anime protagonist that he parodies, if he can, he'll try to help, needed or not. While he genuinely means well, girls who are not interested see him as a narcissistic creep. He also acts very selfishly, forcing his views onto Kazuma because he sees himself as the protagonist, so in his mind he has to be right. Kyouya's very quick to use violence when Kazuma protests against him trying to steal his party from underneath him, and has no guilt about this since he convinces himself that Kazuma is obviously unworthy of his team and Aqua's favor.
Crippling Overspecialization: His weapon-focused skill set and swordsman character class are entirely devoted to boosting the effectiveness of his sword Gram. Without his sword, he's nothing more than a novice adventurer with expensive armor.
Deconstructive Parody: He's such a walking stereotype of the Stock Light-Novel Hero, in particular those in the isekai (Trapped in Another World) genre, that Kazuma can easily predict his actions.
Depending on the Artist: In the Light Novels he actually looks very similar to Kazuma, to drive the point further home that he is Kazuma's antithesis personified; the anime gave him more of a heroic build, different hair color and eyes.
Dogged Nice Guy: Deconstructed. His feelings towards Aqua is akin to honest devotion and unrequited affection. He constantly tries to convince her to leave Kazuma and showers her with various gifts from time to time. His unwanted attempts creep out Aqua even further, and she ultimately wants nothing to do with him. He finds it difficult to accept that Kazuma is Aqua's heroic champion, and Kyouya defeating the Demon King before Kazuma does threatens her chance to return home.
- What sets him above most examples of this trope is that he doesn't go out of his way to demonize Kazuma to get him out of the way and puts his job as a hero before seducing Aqua.
The Dulcinea Effect: His tendency to do this creeps out Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness. It disgusts Kazuma as well, since he knows their true personalities, and finds Kyouya insufferable to believe he's victimizing or taking advantage of them.
Expy: He's wearing equipment that makes him look like Roto/Erdrick of Dragon Quest. His armor looks like Erdrick's armour and his sword Gram looks a lot like Erdrick's sword. It's very likely deliberate on his part.
Foil: He is the complete opposite of Kazuma – a handsome, naïve, and idealistic hero who lives and breathes fantasy tropes and is having an easier time with his "cheat item".
Glass Cannon: With his Gram, he can single-handedly tackle high-level monsters like dragons. Without his Gram, Kyouya is a complete nobody who is knocked out by a tap on his head.
Graceful Loser: Downplayed. While he accepts that Kazuma won their duel and sticks up for him during the trial, he's not too happy about losing Gram, his only means of surviving in this world.
Hero of Another Story: He was sent to the fantasy world before Kazuma, successfully adventuring and gaining fame for an unspecified amount of time. He's slain powerful monsters and acquired a loyal harem in the process. Unfortunately for him, he mistakenly believes that he is the hero of the story, which leads him to the Pride Before a Fall after provoking Kazuma.
Heroes Prefer Swords: Invoked and deconstructed. He wields the legendary sword Gram, but is basically defenseless without it.
Hidden Depths: In Dust's spin-off, it's implied that he's under a lot of stress being a Chick Magnet with a very belligerent Battle Harem, and that he drinks himself to sleep to avoid potential encounters with them.
Hoist by His Own Petard: He gets knocked out with his own sword after Kazuma uses Steal on it.
Honor Before Reason: In contrast to Kazuma's Combat Pragmatist.
Hopeless Suitor: Whenever he and Aqua meet, he's trying to garner her romantic favor and steal her away from Kazuma, whom he thinks is abusing her. The best result he can hope for on such occasions is indifference. Even then Aqua has no interest in romance whatsoever so his attempts were doomed from the start.
Horrible Judge of Character: He reveres Aqua as a wise goddess who personally chose him as her champion. He couldn't be any more wrong.
Hypocrite: While he is not totally wrong about some of Kazuma's behaviour, he is not better in most aspects. He only proposes to girls to join his party to feed his ego, wants to use a magic sword that can kill demons and dragons on Kazuma, who is less experienced, but will still call him a cheater when he loses. We can add that he only survives in this world thanks to his Game-Breaker sword AND the fact that he knows much about Isekai's hero tropes.
Infinity +1 Sword: The Cursed Sword — Gram, the "cheat item" he chose as his reincarnation perk. It's powerful enough to slay a dragon in a single slash. Kyouya used it to complete quests far, far beyond what he's normally capable of, skyrocketing his levels and becoming a famous hero of this world.
In-Series Nickname: In later volumes, after a Running Gag of Accidental (and occasionally Malicious) misnames, Kazuma's party seemingly gives up trying to remember his name and just call him "Magic Sword Guy".
Legendary Weapon: Gram is well known for its One-Hit Kill abilities and was created by the gods to save the world.
Loving a Shadow: He's hopelessly head-over-heels in love with the delusion of what he perceives Aqua as, and is always trying to garner her romantic favor. In reality, not only is she absolutely nothing like his interpretation, but she can't even be bothered to remember who he is, and that's on a good day.
Loyal Phlebotinum: Gram only works when Kyouya wields it.
Nice Guy: His first encounter with Kazuma aside, Kyouya is honestly a good person and wants to help others. His Chronic Hero Syndrome and being overcome by The Dulcinea Effect are what makes him seem like an arrogant jerk. While Kazuma continues to see him as annoying, Kyouya views his counterpart as a Worthy Opponent and will happily lend support if he can.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero:
- By bending open Aqua's safety cage, her 300,000-Eris quest reward for the lake purification was cut to a mere 100,000. Naturally, Aqua is not too happy about it and punches him with God Blow before demanding compensation.
- He deserves some of the blame for the example displayed on Kazuma's entry too. While taking and selling Gram was a scummy move on Kazuma's part and put the town in danger, Kyouya did pick a blatantly unfair fight with him^note to force him into turning Aqua over to him, completely disregarding her choice on the matter.
Pet the Dog: During Kazuma's trial, Mitsurugi actually tries to stick up for him, though his two female allies weren't as merciful.
- He also makes sure to warn Kazuma that the Demon King is wary of Aqua's presence in the world (though he apparently doesn't know the specifics). Which is pretty nice of the guy, since prior to that he wanted to get Aqua away from Kazuma, and now he is entrusting him with her safety.
Powers via Weapon: His sword Gram is the source of his power. Without it, he's just a normal human like Kazuma.
Stock Light-Novel Hero: Unlike Kazuma, Kyouya is this character stereotype taken to the extreme.
Super-Strength: He's so strong he can bend iron with his hands. It's an enchantment granted to him by Gram.
Unskilled, but Strong: While he's at a very high level wearing all magical equipment, he relies completely on Gram, so once he's deprived of it, he's a complete pushover.
Unwanted Harem: Despite his two party members constantly vying for his affection, he only sees them as comrades rather than love interests, since his true affections lie with Aqua.
What the Hell, Hero?: After Kyouya tried and failed to duel Kazuma to get Aqua to leave his group, losing Gram in the process, he begs Kazuma to return Gram to him in exchange for another weapon. Aqua in a complete fury gives him a verbal trashing:
Aqua: Using me as a prize without my permission, and asking for your sword back by offering to buy a new sword in exchange, there's no way this deal would work! Or do you think my worth is equal to the most expensive sword in a shop? Insolent fool, insolent! I am a goddess after all. To use me as a betting chip, what the hell were you thinking? I don't want to see your face ever again. Shoo. Hurry up, scram!

Gods

Eris

Voiced by: Ayaka Suwa (Japanese), Kira Buckland (English)^{Foreign VAs}

The Goddess of Fortune, patron deity of the new world and namesake of the global currency. She is a subordinate of Aqua, ranking lower in the divine hierarchy.

A-Cup Angst: The issue of her breast size is a pretty sensitive subject for her.
Adaptation Dye-Job: Eris has bright blue eyes in the light novel illustrations. The anime gives her purple eyes instead.
Adorably Precocious Child: How she appears to Kazuma when she's not doing her official duties.
Art Shift: Episode 9 of season 2 reveals a painted depiction of her in the European Old Master style. Said painting features her with ample bosom and raven hair.
Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Much like Aqua, its easy for her to lose interest in being a goddess and adventure as the mortal Chris. Pretending to be mortal is as much a distraction and source of entertainment for Eris, as alcohol and parties are for Aqua.
Berserk Button:
- Mentioning her chest size is a good way of making her feel the need to use violence. As Aegis can attest to, not that it really mattered in that circumstance though.
- Devils and the undead. When she finds out that the noble Zereschrute is a devil in disguise, she leaves as Chris and returns in her real form to give him a severe thrashing — one that was later revealed to have continued on to several days.
Beware the Nice Ones: Can be pretty cold once you annoy her enough, which makes some of Aqua's more petty comments about her somewhat plausible.
Big Good: She is the benevolent patron deity of the world Kazuma is sent to, and continues to be a source of aid for him throughout the series.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: According to Aqua. While the fact it's Aqua makes this at first somewhat uncertain, it comes to its conclusion when she endlessly beats Zereschrute despite not being a threat, simply because he's a devil.
Endearingly Dorky: Kazuma finds her occasional mischievous actions, and her attempts at using her knowledge of Japan adorable.
Failed a Spot Check: Aqua's physical appearance, divine aura, and personality hadn't changed after being banished, yet Eris failed to realize the healer travelling with Kazuma was her immediate superior. Evidently she assumed it was an Axis cultist who dressed like the real Aqua.
Fake Boobs: According to Aqua and Dust, she apparently uses pads.
Fantastic Racism: Towards her major Berserk Button — devils and the undead. She's unfortunately worse than Aqua in this regard.
- In Megumin's second spin-off series, when questioned by Megumin as Chris about how she felt in regards to undead and devils, she said they should be exterminated. When Megumin specified that they were non-threatening to humans (basically directly describing Wiz and Vanir), she elaborates that it would be great if they were exterminated without exceptions.
- Comes to its conclusion in Volume 12, which introduces Zereschrute, a —literal— devil in disguise who wasn't even a real threat to begin with, and was at his best, a good governor to Belzerg and an affable Anti-Villain who treated Kazuma and his party with respect. Too bad Chris was there to help them, resulting in her coming back as Eris to brutalize Zereschrute. It's later revealed she kept coming back every day to keep attacking him over and over again, until the poor guy flees Belzerg.
Foil: She is the complete opposite of Aqua. A kind, humble, and responsible goddess who takes her job seriously, but also lacks the dramatic flair needed to convince people to reincarnate into her world.
The Gadfly: Can be this sometimes, like when she asks Kazuma who he likes more, Eris or Chris, just to fluster him. Doesn't quite work out since Kazuma is just as good at that if not better.
Game-Over Man: Whenever Kazuma dies in the world he was sent to, she's the one to greet him before reviving him.
Gods Need Prayer Badly: She's even more obsessive on retaining her followers than Aqua. The idea of sharing religious holidays or even losing a single believer makes her incredibly upset, despite that she has far more followers and is the official world church.
Good is Not Nice: Can be quite stern when she wants to be, and according to Aqua pretty relentless in certain situations. The definitive example of this is when she punishes entities that originate from evil (devils) or dark magic (the undead).
Good Scars, Evil Scars: Has one on her cheek that she has a habit of scratching when troubled. She apparently got it from fighting a Devil at one point in her life. After Kazuma notices it for the first time in volume 7 from it contrasting with the rest of her flushed face, he quickly figures out that she disguises herself as Chris.
Have a Nice Death: While not nearly as cruel as Aqua was at the beginning of the series, she later starts poking fun at Kazuma for the numerous and bizarre ways he gets himself killed.
Hot Goddess: Is described as very beautiful by Kazuma.
Knight Templar: Aqua considers her this, saying that she is even more relentless when it comes to traditionally evil beings than even her. Which is kind of saying something considering Aqua's usual attitude to Wiz and Vanir. It's pretty much confirmed as of Megumin's second spin-off series, when she tells Megumin entities like devils or undead people should be "exterminated without exceptions", even if they're not a threat to other people.
Lady Luck: Eris is the Goddess of Fortune.
Long Hair Is Feminine: She's a demure and sweet-hearted goddess with very long hair split into two tails. In contrast, her human guise Chris has Boyish Short Hair.
My Master, Right or Wrong: She won't directly defy Aqua and will carry out orders to the best of her ability, even when the results might have negative consequences. It's how the relationship between superior and junior goddesses always work apparently.
Mystical White Hair: She's a goddess with silvery white hair.
Nervous Tics: When she gets troubled, she scratches her right cheek. This is one of the ways that Kazuma figures out that Chris is her alter-ego.
Nice Girl: Downplayed. She's one of the few characters (across from Iris) that treats Kazuma with respect (unlike how Kazuma's party usually treat him), though she is quite relentless towards devils or the undead.
Not So Above It All:
- While she presents herself as a benevolent and humble goddess, Aqua points out she has the ego to make the world's global currency named after her.
- Her institutional church also uses her name. While that in of itself is not unusual for a religion, Aqua's more fanatical faith does not use Aqua's name in such a prominent manner.
- Aqua mentions that deities directly interacting with the world under their control is frowned upon. Especially when they do so under the guise of being mortal. There were rumors of her doing this, which her identity as Chris proves true.
- She significantly pads her bra to appear several cup sizes larger than she really is.
Physical Goddess: In the epilogue of volume 17, Kazuma uses the single wish he was promised for defeating the Demon King to have her effectively switch places with Aqua.
Quantity vs. Quality: She has many more worshipers than Aqua, yet does not equal her divine might because Aqua's followers are significantly more zealous in their beliefs.
We Gotta Stop Meeting Like This: She basically says this word-for-word the second time Kazuma dies.

Dustiness Ford Family

Ignis Dustiness Ford

Ignis Ford Dustiness

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dustiness_ford_ignis_anime.png

Voiced by: Kazuhiko Inoue (Japanese), Jake Eberle (English)^{Foreign VAs}

The father of Darkness and the current head of the Dustiness House.

Curse: In Volume 7, Alderp uses his demon servant to place a curse on Ignis that almost kills him, but Aqua dispels the curse before it's too late.
Good Parents: He's a good father to Darkness and wants nothing more than her happiness.
Open-Minded Parent: He's aware of Darkness's masochism and is worried about her safety as an adventurer, but he's glad his daughter is happy with her lifestyle and has good friends.
Shipper on Deck: He would be happy if Kazuma married Darkness.
Tranquil Fury: When Aqua blames Kazuma and Walther for his daughter lying on the floor unconscious in drenched and torn clothing, his immediate response was to nonchalantly order their execution. Fortunately, they managed to explain the situation before he acted on it.

Sylphina Dustiness Ford

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/10c998d9_fe1d_403b_8876_cc4a86836873.jpeg

Darkness's maternal cousin who suffers from the rare Colorin disease.

Parental Abandonment: Her mother died when she was very young. Darkness helped raise her after her mother died.
Playing House: With her being the stay-at-home mother, Megumin being the great heroic adventurer/master of explosion magic/father, and Kazuma being the son who would rather become a merchant and get rich than follow in his father's footsteps.

Axis Cult

In General

All-Loving Hero: Members of the Axis Cult do not discriminate against anyone joining them. So long as you denounce violence and believe in the teachings of Aqua (and definitely not praise Eris), you can be their friend.
Cloudcuckoolander: All the Axis cultists have a few screws loose.
The Commandments: Some Axis Cult teachings include:
- The First Commandment is a long quote that can be summarized as: "Thou shalt love everyone."
- The Seventh Commandment is: "Thou shalt not refrain. If thou seeks to eat? Eat. If thou seeks to drink? Drink. Thy may not live to eat or drink tomorrow." It makes more sense when you consider the planet is a subtle Crapsack World.
Comedic Lolicon: All the members of the cult love Megumin because she's a cute loli. Their pedophilia is why they're forbidden from getting close to children.
Extreme Omnisexual: The Axis Cult pretty much tells their followers that they can feel love and lust for anyone, no matter the gender or age. Except demons, of course.
Fantastic Racism: As to be expected from Aqua's followers, they really hate demons. In addition, in a case of fantastical religious intolerance, many hate the Eris church as seen when many member in Alcanretia spit at the floor in disgust after Darkness reveals herself to be part of it.
Have You Seen My God?: Averted. Once the Axis Cult discovers Aqua walks among them, her believers begin efforts to expand their influence and prove themselves worthy of such an incredible miracle. It even requires Eris to make a brief divine appearance on the surface to offset the Axis Cult momentum and not steal followers from her.
The Hedonist: Their religious credo is to live life to the fullest and indulge in their desires, no matter how depraved, to their hearts' content.
Nuns Are Mikos: While the style of the Axis Cult's church architecture and the clothes of their members remind of Christianity, the handling of shrines and rituals tend to be more similar to Shinto practices.
Opportunistic Bastard: When Zesta gets falsely arrested for tampering with the city's springs, only few of his fellow cultists help him because the rest want a shot at his position.
Snake Oil Salesman: Whenever they're trying to convince others to become a follower of Aqua, they'll make questionable claims of it changing your life for the better.
Undying Loyalty: They're all zealously devoted to their goddess Aqua. Actually, Aqua has a higher rank than Eris because her followers are this way.

Cecily

Voiced by: Fairouz Ai (Japanese), Amanda Lee (English)^{Foreign VAs}

An influential Axis Cult priestess and acquaintance of Megumin and Yunyun.

Abhorrent Admirer: Anyone who catches Cecily's attention is highly uncomfortable around her, mainly due to her perversion and many other unpleasant quirks.
Brilliant, but Lazy: Her devotion to Aqua would make her a powerful priestess, but she's too lazy to learn any priestess skills besides the standard "Heal" and "Blessing" spells.
Comedic Lolicon: She finds Megumin seriously attractive, going so far as to say that Megumin's "in my strike zone" when she first sees the girl and even bathes with Megumin, causing the latter great discomfort. Gets rather close to Yunyun as well, much to her displeasure.
Cool Big Sis: She acts as a playful and silly, if super perverted, big sister figure towards Megumin, Yunyun and Iris, even constantly asking that they call her "Cecily nee-chan". While Megumin is annoyed by her stupidity, she's still fond of Cecily.
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Usually as eccentric as any other member of her cult, but the moment undead and devils are involved she can get serious extremely quickly. At one point she managed to sneak behind a elite member of the Demon King's army without them being aware of it at all.
The Cuckoolander Was Right: While helping Megumin look for the blue-haired archpriest needed to defeat Hoost, Cecily senses Aqua's presence at a bar. Megumin refuses to look there because she thinks there's no way an archpriest would be getting drunk and doing party tricks at a bar, since this is before Megumin actually meets Aqua and learns what she's like.
Fantastic Racism: Obviously, she hates demons and the Eris Church, but the latter is more egregious as she basically commits hate crimes against them, for example defacing a portrait of Eris, trying to frame two Eris church members who call her out on it as predatory thugs to the police, and ordering Megumin to blow up an Eris church after they deny entry.
Gold Digger: When Kyouya Mitsurugi was looking for a healer to join his party, she was aggressive in allying with him when she mistakenly believed he would provide for all her financial demands. Being wealthy, handsome, and a powerful swordsman met her immediate requirements.
Lovable Sex Maniac: She has a tendency to sexually harass boys and girls that she finds attractive.
Marshmallow Hell: With boobs as big as hers, it's kind of inevitable when she hugs you.
Nun Too Holy: Even though she's a nun, Cecily is a gluttonous, lazy and lecherous. She vandalizes the rival Eris church and steals food meant for the poor. It's not too surprising when the deity she worships is Aqua, who openly preaches hedonism in her religion.
Secret-Keeper: The High Priest admits to her that Aqua is their goddess in physical form.
"Silly Me" Gesture: She frequently winks and sticks her tongue, to the point of being her characteristic expression.
Smarter Than You Look: She is a lot more perceptive than she looks, to the point where Megumin sometimes get worried about just how much she can notice. Though she usually messes up her evaluations one way or another.
Suspiciously Specific Denial: When Kazuma asks if she knows Aqua is her real goddess, she clumsily tries denying it.
Trademark Favorite Food: She's addicted to slime jelly.

Zesta

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/26_xesta_profile.png

Voiced by: Yasunori Masutani (Japanese), Mick Lauer (English)^{Foreign VAs}

A high ranking archpriest of the Axis Cult and the leader of the cultists in Alcanretia.

Attack Reflector: Can cast the Reflect spell, which reflects incoming attack spells back towards their source.
The Cassandra: Averted: He receives an oracle from Aqua when she descends to their world, and while everyone nearby is skeptical of the contents (basically "I'm coming to Axel, and lend me some cash if you're nearby."), they all know that he wouldn't lie or use Aqua's name lightly in such matters.
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Despite his perverted antics, he's a strong enough archpriest to send a high-ranking demon packing.
Dirty Old Monk: He's a perverted archpriest whose sexual harassment extends even to the female knights that are arresting him.
Everyone Has Standards: He's a massive pervert who will sexually harass any female who appears before him. Except for Cecily, whom he seemingly finds boring.
Let's Get Dangerous!: When Arnis shows up in Alcanretia and has Megumin backed into a corner, the only person our heroine can look to for help is this harmless middle-aged man who seems to exist purely for comic relief. Then this trope comes into effect full-force.
Light 'em Up: Like Aqua, he can cast Sacred High Exorcism, one of the strongest anti-demon spells known to man.
Perpetual Smiler: Megumin notes that his mouth seems to be permanently fixed into a silly grin.
The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: He's basically the head honcho of the Axis Cult, but since he leaves all administrative duties to his secretaries, he mostly just wanders around town doing whatever he feels like (primarily harassing the local Eris Cult chapel). Hence, nobody really minds when he gets arrested.
Not Me This Time: He gets arrested for turning the springs into Tokoroten, but Sena's lie detector doesn't go off when he professes his innocence.
Rank Scales with Asskicking: As the Axis Cult's leader, he's also their strongest archpriest.
Remember the New Guy?: Played with: He's mentioned in Volume 4 and appears as the POV for Volume 4's epilogue, but is otherwise absent in the main series until Kazuma meets him in Volume 16. He recieves a proper character introduction in the Explosions spin-off where he meets Megumin and Yunyun, and reappears in the second Continued, Explosions volume, as well as in Dust's spin-off.
Right for the Wrong Reasons: The culprit was him all along (despite him being oblivious to that), but the incident was not the one mentioned by the prophecy used to arrest him.
Technically a Smile: During his fight with Arnis, Megumin notices that while he had the same grin plastered on his face, the kindness had completely gone out of his eyes.
There Is No Kill Like Overkill: His idea of a warning shot is to fire a Sacred High Exorcism blast over Arnis' shoulder and have it explode right behind her.

Crimson Demon Village

Megumin's Family

Komekko

Voiced by: Maria Naganawa (Japanese), Jackie Lastra (English)^{Foreign VAs}

Megumin's younger sister, who resides with their parents at the Home of the Crimson Magic.

Admiring the Abomination: Her first impression upon meeting Lord Hoost was that he was "cool!" Note that Hoost is so imposing and fearsome-looking that Megumin and Yunyun both experienced Color Failure and ran away crying and screaming the first time they saw him.
Armor-Piercing Response: This conversation, where she compliments all but two of the adventurers in Axel:
Megumin: All of the adventurers in this town are cool. When you get back to the village, make sure you brag about us all!
Komekko: Except onee-san isn't very powerful.
(Entire guild goes silent)
Big Eater: She can eat a lot, especially since she rarely gets to eat at the Home of the Crimson Magic.
Child Prodigy: She, like her sister, is implied to possess great magical power even for a Crimson Demon. She is heavily hinted at to be a natural demon summoner without even meaning it.
Chuunibyou: Just like her big sister, she will pose and drop dramatic statements whenever she wants. After stealing Kazuma's kill on the demon general Slivia, she did the cool-girls-don't-look-at-explosions thing, posed, and declared herself more powerful than a demon general.
The Cutie: She's an adorably cute little girl.
Early-Bird Cameo: In the anime, at least, she is introduced during the same episode as Yunyun because she features in the embarrassing memories that Megumin unwittingly shared.
Extreme Omnivore: Notably she sees high-level monsters and demons as either food or potential food instead of things to be afraid of. While the anime shows Megumin catching and roasting cicadas for Komekko to eat, in the light novels Megumin was disgusted by the idea, and Komekko had caught and cooked them on her own.
Fearless Infant: As Megumin puts it, "The newborn calf fears not the lion." Taken to Dissonant Serenity levels during the battle with the Mage-Killer-infused Sylvia.
Femme Fatale: She styles herself as this after she used her "charm" to scam somebody into giving her food.
Food as Bribe: The Axel Adventurer's Guild takes advantage of her Big Eater tendencies to use her charm to galvanize the adventurers' interests in taking quests.
Free-Range Children: Since her parents were rarely at home and her older sister was at school, Komekko was free to wander around the town alone and she ended up freeing half of a destruction goddess because she mistook the seal for a toy.
Horrifying the Horror: She can frighten high-level monsters who are capable of sensing her overwhelming desire to eat them.
Horror Hunger: Played for laughs — it's how Megumin and Hoost come to view her Big Eater / Extreme Omnivore tendencies.
- During a moment of panic when she thought Komekko might be in danger, Megumin had this to say:
Megumin: No problem! My sister is the reincarnation of the god of gluttony, Ashtoreth! When she is in danger, her seal will be broken, and she will finally conquer the world with me.
Interspecies Friendship: She befriends a powerful Demon contracted to Wolbach named Hoost during Megumin's spinoff, with Hoost even offering to become her Familiar if she grows powerful enough to summon him should his contract to Wolbach ever end.
Kill Steal: She steals the killing blow on Sylvia by pulling the trigger on the fully-charged Railgun (Fake) before Kazuma can finish delivering his Pre-Mortem One-Liner. Kazuma misses out on a lot of valuable experience points as a direct result. Though, it doesn't quite turn out the same in The Movie.
Little Miss Con Artist: Megumin taught her how to scam people, good enough that she can successfully con DEMONS.
Shipper on Deck: The first thing she does when she sees Kazuma piggyback carrying Megumin is to scream to her dad that her big sister has snared a man.
Wowing Cthulhu: She was able to earn Hoost's respect by solving the many puzzles and riddles making up Wolbach's seal.

Hyoizaburoo

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hyoizaburo_anime.png

Voiced by: Hiroki Takahashi (Japanese), Joe J. Thomas (English)^{Foreign VAs}

Megumin and Komekko's father.

Boyfriend-Blocking Dad: He almost breaks the family table in a fit of rage when Kazuma tries to explain his relation to Megumin, but he stops opposing to them being a couple as soon as he learns Kazuma owns a mansion. He still refuses to give Komekko to Kazuma in exchange for dumplings, which Kazuma makes very clear is not his intention.
Bumbling Dad: He insists on making defective magic items and forces his family to live in poverty because of it, but he cares deeply about his family.
Comically Missing the Point: He somehow thinks that Kazuma giving them food is bribing them into handing over Komekko instead of her other daughter.
Flipping the Table: Defied. Hyoizaburoo tries to flip the only table in the house over in a fit of rage at Kazuma. Luckily, his wife stops him because they can't afford to buy a new table.
Incompetence, Inc.: He runs a magic item shop in the Crimson Demon Village. Despite being a talented magic item maker, all of his wares end up with prohibitive limits, some type of a defect built in, or just plain useless.
Money Dumb: He squanders all the money he, his wife, and their older daughter make on dumb inventions.
Shipper on Deck: At first, he acts skeptical when he thinks Megumin is in an intimate relationship with Kazuma, likely keeping in mind Megumin's rather unflattering portrayal of him in the letters she sends to her parents. He seems to quickly warm up to the idea after Kazuma brings food for the family and mentions he owns a mansion. He even refers to him as his "future son-in-law."
Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Downplayed. While not ugly, Hyoizaburoo has a gruff middle aged appearance while Yuiyui is an Absurdly Youthful Mother.

Yuiyui

Voiced by: Mamiko Noto (Japanese), Dorothy Elias-Fahn (English)^{Foreign VAs}

Megumin and Komekko's mother.

The Conscience: She is very quick to remind her husband that breaking another table in a fit of rage is just going to cost them more money.
The Dreaded: Megumin thinks her mother is almost as scary as the Demon King.
Faint in Shock: In the movie, she faints when Megumin and Yunyun rush into battle against Sylvia who had fused with Verdia and Hans.
Forced Sleep: When she wants Megumin to sleep with Kazuma, Yuiyui puts everyone in the house to sleep with a spell (except Aqua who blacked out due to drinking) so no one can stop her from locking Kazuma and Megumin in a room together.
Hime Cut: She has blunt bangs, bra strap length sidelocks, and waist length straight hair. The hairstyle complements her Yamato Nadeshiko traits.
Mum Looks Like a Sister: She looks young enough to be Megumin and Komekko's older sister.
Perpetual Smiler: She's often seen with a smile on her face. Even when arguing with her husband.
Shipper on Deck: She wants Megumin to marry Kazuma because the latter has lots of money. She even purposely locks them in Megumin's room just to see them bond romantically and kneels outside to eavesdrop.
Stocking Filler: She wears a set of garters and thigh-high boots with her skirt.
Tranquil Fury: Despite her being very much annoyed by her husband's antics, she still keeps her trademark smile when she argues and chastises him.
Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Downplayed. While not ugly, Hyoizaburoo has a gruff middle aged appearance while Yuiyui is an Absurdly Youthful Mother.
Women Are Wiser: While her husband is an idiot who blows all their money in making useless inventions, Yuiyui is a sensible woman who tries her best to make sure they have something to eat.
Yamato Nadeshiko: Yuiyui fits the role of an ideal Japanese wife who is gentle and devoted to her family, but puts her foot down whenever she disagrees with her husband's stupid decisions. It sort of makes sense, given that the Crimson Demons received influence from Japanese culture.

Megumin and Yunyun's Classmates

Arue

Voiced by: Kaori Nazuka (Japanese), Marissa Lenti (English)^{Foreign VAs}

One of Megumin's former classmates in the Home of the Crimson Magic. While possessing great potential as an Arch Wizard, she doesn't have any interest in adventuring and instead dreams of becoming an author.

The Ace: Good at everything she does. 3rd place of her class, just behind Megumin and Yunyun in terms of magical power, and constantly beats them in questioning periods at giving chuuni answers as well as graduating early like the other two. However, despite her weaker magic power, unlike Megumin/Yunyun, Arue is the only one among the three who actually followed the traditional, optimized build path of the Arch Wizard, so she doesn't have any wasted skill points. There's also the implication that she wasn't really giving it her all, as she had no desire to become an Arch Wizard and only did so to please her parents.
Adaptational Curves: In the Crimson Legend movie, several of Megumin's classmates are given more "endowed" appearances, but Arue stands beyond them all. Puberty hit hard and early, as even though she's supposed to be twelve years old, she has a body that rivals Wiz.
Author Avatar: It's implied that she is one for the author, Natsume Akatsuki.
Big-Breast Pride: In the Crimson Legend movie, she introduces herself as "The most voluptuous among Crimson Demons".
By the Lights of Their Eyes: Like her people, she has deep red eyes that radiate based on their emotional state.
Chuunibyou: THE chuuni in the Home of the Chuunis. She can say her over-the-top delusions with such vivid detail and a straight face that no one can tell if she's telling the truth or not. Justified, as she claims that an active imagination is very important for an author.
The Comically Serious: During her school days, when she and her class are faced by the unexpected appearance of a gargoyle - too dangerous for their level of experience - Arue maintains a completely straight face the whole time, even as the rest of her classmates are terrified and screaming in terror.
Eyepatch of Power: Like Megumin, she wears an eyepatch over her left eye, to which she hasn't taken off once.
Hate at First Sight: Towards Kazuma. Their first meeting even resulted in a physical fight between the two. Justified as he tore up her precious manuscript.
I Should Write a Book About This: Before Megumin left the village to go on her journey, Arue asked her to tell her about her adventures one day and she'll write a story about it. That and the credits page of Vol 1 of Megumin's side story, implies that Konosuba is actually an in-series novel about Megumin's adventures with Kazuma.
It Was a Gift: Her eyepatch was a gift from her grandfather.
Large Ham: Like the rest of her race, she is expressive and boastful, and she posses during her introductions.
Netorare: She's a fan of this, and often teases Megumin about it once Yunyun became "friends" with Funifura and Dodonko.
Arue: So that's NTR...
Megumin: That is not NTR!
Not So Stoic: Megumin was shocked when she witnessed her freak-out after Kazuma tore apart the manuscript of her current novel; Legend of the Crimson Magic Hero in retaliation for her ultimately causing the whole mess in volume 5 to begin with.
Shipper on Deck: Well, she'd much rather see Megumin go back to the "Yunyun path" than remain on the "Kazuma path".
The Stoic: Acts like a quiet, cool, beauty, except when she's acting chuuni.
Useless Accessory: She claims her eyepatch is needed to contain her uncontrollable power, but in reality, she just thinks it's cool.
Younger Than They Look: The top of Megumin's class in growth development. Even at 12 years old, she looks like a high school girl. The movie adaptation takes this and runs with it, where despite her age she is designed as a voluptuous adult, and implied to be the most 'well-developed' out of all Crimson Demons.

Funifura

Voiced by: Miyu Tomita (Japanese), Reba Buhr (English)^{Foreign VAs}

One of Yunyun and Megumin's former classmates.

Big Sister Instinct: According to herself, she is "foremost among Crimson Demons who love their brothers", and even says that she has a brother complex because she adores her little brother so much.
Girlish Pigtails: She ties her hair into pigtails, giving her a girlier look than her classmates.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While she tried to extort money from Yunyun, she did it to get medicine for her sick little brother.
Showgirl Skirt: Funifura chooses to tie her school uniform's black cloak around her waist, giving the effect of a long crescent skirt.
Taking Advantage of Generosity: She took advantage of Yunyun's kindness and loneliness by claiming she would be her friend if she gave her lunch and money for free.

Dodonko

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dodon.png

Voiced by: Sayumi Suzushiro (Japanese), Ryan Bartley (English)^{Foreign VAs}

One of Yunyun and Megumin's former classmates. She's often seen next to Funifura.

Satellite Character: She always appears alongside Funifura and doesn't have enough personal traits to differentiate her from Funifura. She doesn't even have a Crimson Demon style boast.
Showgirl Skirt: Like Funifura, Dodonko ties her school uniform's black cloak around her waist to give it the effect of a long crescent skirt.

Nerimaki

Voiced by: Shizuka Ishigami (Japanese), Michelle Marie (English)^{Foreign VAs}

Another former classmate of Megumin and Yunyun. Her family runs the town bar called the Succubus Lingerie Pub which was named by "The Smartest Crimson Demon to draw in customers".

The Bartender: Currently, she runs the only bar in Crimson Demon Village with her family.

Other Villagers

Hiropon

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/village_chief_anime.png

Voiced by: Tsuguo Mogami (Japanese)^{Foreign VAs}

The chief of the Crimson Demon Village and Yunyun's father.

Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Due to not sharing the Crimson Demons' Chuunibyou customs, Yunyun is quite embarrassed by her father's hamminess, especially when his stupidly over-the-top greeting in a letter made her think their village was in serious danger.
Badass Longcoat: He wears a longcoat/overcoat, as the chief of the Crimson Demons must look cool.
Collared by Fashion: He wears a spiked neck choker.
Mistaken for Dying: He sends a letter to Yunyun claiming that he will be dead by the time she receives it, making her freak out as she thinks he's going to be killed by one of the Demon King's generals. When she goes back to check on him, she finds out that he and the village are perfectly safe after the Demon Army's attacks. Saying he was gonna die was just a typically overdramatic Crimson Demon greeting in letters.
So Proud of You: In the battle against Sylvia, Hiropon cries Tears of Joy when he sees Yunyun making a big introduction like a Crimson Demon is expected to do.

Pucchin

Voiced by: Mitsuhiro Sakamaki (Japanese), Joe J. Thomas (English)^{Foreign VAs}

The homeroom teacher of Megumin and Yunyun. His goal is to become the principal of the magic school in the Crimson Demon Village.

Breath Weapon: His chosen specialty magic Energy Ignition has him breath out a stream of intense flame.
Cool Teacher: When teaching, he often enacts and encourages his students to speak out while flaunting a cool pose.
Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: Despite being plenty kooky himself as a Crimson Demon, especially when he gets "in the zone" while fighting monsters, the Headmaster is such a genuine Cloudcuckoolander through his weird habits that Pucchin apparently needs to rein him in on occasion.
Oral Fixation: He always has a twig sticking out of his mouth.

Headmaster

Voiced by: Banjo Ginga (Japanese), Jason Marnocha (English)^{Foreign VAs}

The elderly principal of the Red Prison academy.

Big Ol' Eyebrows: His eyebrows are as large and long as his mustache.
Canon Foreigner: He's an anime-original character.
Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": He's only known as "Headmaster".
Opaque Lenses: He wears orange glasses that obscure his eyes.
Wizard Beard: He's an elderly arch wizard with a long beard.

Bukkororii

Voiced by: Yoshiki Nakajima (Japanese), Sean Chiplock (English)^{Foreign VAs}

The son of a shoe-shop owner and as such, is destined to become the Crimson Demons' greatest (and only) shoemaker. He's also the next-door neighbor of Megumin's family.

Badass Cape: He wears a cape when patrolling the town. Even though he's a NEET, he's still a Crimson Demon and can easily defeat soldiers of the Demon King's army.
Big Damn Heroes: He and his fellow NEETs save Kazuma's party from the Demon King's army when they get attacked right after arriving at the Crimson Demon Village.
Butt-Monkey: In most of his scenes, he's either scorned by girls because of his stalker habits or makes a fool of himself in front of his crush.
Hopeless Suitor: He's a NEET aiming to date the most beautiful woman in his village. He asks her to foretell the woman who will fall in love with him, but her Crystal Ball doesn't show anyone, much to his distress. However, Soketto does mention she can't predict a future that involves herself, so Bukkororii's chances to end up with her might not be zero after all.
I Resemble That Remark!: In response to Yunyun saying he's Soketto's stalker, he says he's not a stalker ("just honest about my love")... before proceeding to explain his current predicament - stuck in a hole he himself dug - in a manner that entirely paints him as one.
NEET: He spends most of his time lazing around his house and doesn't help with the family business. He, alongside other layabouts, formed a militia called the "Anti-Demon King Army Guerrilla Unit", which used the thin excuse of "patrolling" to lay around town.
Stalker with a Crush: He has a big crush on Soketto, the most beautiful girl in the Crimson Demon Village. Whenever he is free (which is almost always), he'll "investigate" Soketto's daily routine, although his "investigations" are more stalking than anything else. He even made the front of her house into one of his teleportation spots.

Soketto

Voiced by: Miki Hase (Japanese), Erika Harlacher (English)^{Foreign VAs}

One of Yunyun and Megumin's former classmates.

Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: She's the most beautiful of the female Crimson Demons and her outfit has a crop top that reveals her midriff.
Fortune Teller: Soketto is able to predict the future with her Crystal Ball and works as the fortune teller of the Crimson Demon Village.
Oblivious to Love: She actually thought that Bukkororii was stalking her because he hated her, instead of the more obvious reason.
Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: Soketto has long black hair and milky white skin. Even among the village, she is acknowledged to be the most beautiful girl of the Crimson Demons.
Showgirl Skirt: Her long skirt is cut much closer at the front, revealing her legs.

Royal Capital of Belzerg

Princess Iris

Iris

Voiced by: Kanon Takao (Japanese)

The twelve-year-old princess of the Kingdom of Belzerg. An acquaintance of Darkness who invites her party to dinner in recognition of their deeds.

Ancestral Weapon: Her sword Calibur is a divine tool passed down by her ancestors.
The Archmage: She is very proficient in casting Legendary-class magic, putting her heads and shoulders above even the strongest members of the Crimson Demon Clan in terms of magical prowess.
Badass Adorable: Darkness claims that despite her age and stature, she's much stronger than Kazuma and could effortlessly defeat him in a fight. This is due to her being a descendant of previous heroes who have defeated the Demon King. Proven hilariously right in Volume 10, when we see her in action.
Big Brother Worship: She respects her actual brother a great deal, but she adores her "brother" Kazuma quite a bit more. Aqua notes that she doesn't have an objective outlook when talking about Kazuma at all.
The Big Girl: She acts as the fighter for Megumin's band of "thieves" consisting of herself, Megumin, Yunyun, Claire, and Chris.
Clingy Jealous Girl: She occasionally gets into fights with Megumin over Kazuma's affection.
Cool Sword: She wields the holy sword, Calibur, a divine weapon passed down the royal bloodline for generations. Which she got her hands on by begging her dad for because she thought the scabbard was pretty.
Defrosting Ice Queen: When she first meets Kazuma, Iris looks down on him because she can't believe he has accomplished even half of the victories he has achieved until that point. After Darkness scolds her and Kazuma forgives her rudeness, Iris warms up to him and develops a crush on him.
Ditch the Bodyguards: After meeting Kazuma, Iris repeatedly sneaks out of the castle and away from her attendants. Not exactly difficult when she can simply jump over the castle walls.
The Dragonslayer: She earns this title after she slays the golden dragon that had been terrorizing the mines of the Kingdom of Elroad.
"Freaky Friday" Flip: She switches bodies with Kazuma thanks to a divine artifact made for this, accidentally triggered by Kazuma. Both she and Kazuma had a great deal of fun with it, until it wore off at a very inopportune moment.
Gratuitous Japanese: She likes to use terms she learned from Kazuma without any real understanding of what they are. While going around as "Alice", she says she's the daughter of a chirimen shop owner. The problem being that she only knows the word from Kazuma, and doesn't actually know what a chirimen is, that being fabric to make kimonos.
Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: She's blonde, and beneath her prim and proper facade is one of the sweetest, kindest, most pleasant characters in the series.
Heroic Lineage: She is a descendant of previous heroes who have defeated past Demon Kings, as it is tradition for such victors to be married into Belzerg royalty.
Honor Before Reason: As royalty, it is her duty to be a shining example to the people. Kazuma think this kind of thinking is foolish and tries to teach her how to fight dirty. She really likes that about him.
Hypercompetent Sidekick: A Zig-zagged example to Megumin in Zoku, Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Bakuen wo!, Iris is exactly as overpowered and naive as always and happily plays the role of the grunt for Megumin's little band of "honorable thieves".
King Incognito: She tries to pass herself as a commoner from the capital when she visits Axel. While not many know she is royalty, her blond hair and blue eyes makes it really obvious to everyone else that she is no commoner.
Idiot Hair: She has an ahoge, signifying her naivety.
Innocent Blue Eyes: Her blue eyes highlight her cuteness and innocence.
Like Brother and Sister: While not siblings, Kazuma sees Iris as the younger sister that he never had, but Iris' feelings go beyond that. His influence on her is pretty notable. Much to her retainers' woe, she winds up taking after him quite a bit, mimicking his scheming and shortcomings.
Little Miss Badass: She's still small and young, but her Heroic Lineage makes her one of the strongest warriors of her country.
Lonely Rich Kid: One of the fates of royalty is that she doesn't have any friends. Her father and brother are often out leading armies against the Demon King. Claire and Rain are just her guardians, and even Darkness is merely a loyal subordinate. She was so happy that Kazuma would treat her as just a girl and becomes friends with Megumin.
Magic Knight: Wields both a holy sword and legendary-level magic.
Money Dumb: Iris clearly doesn't know the actual value of money, since usually, one of her attendants handles it for her, leading to her being easily (and half-accidentally) conned into paying a million Eri for a kebab before Megumin stepped in.
Nice Girl: Iris is a sweet, kind, and gentle princess. Much like Eris, she's also one of the few characters that doesn't treat Kazuma as a Butt-Monkey and even maintain a brother-sister type relationship.
One-Woman Army: Can handle enemies that would normally require an entire team of skilled adventurers to handle, making Kazuma question why she isn't on the front lines herself.
Paper-Thin Disguise: As "Alice"^note in Vanir's Spin-Off novel, the granddaughter of the capital's "chirimen" shop's owner. Her hair, eye color, mannerisms, and being escorted by two bodyguards make it clear that she's an aristocrat, and everyone in Kazuma's party (and Chris) immediately recognize who she is.
Politically-Active Princess: With her father and actual older brother off leading armies against the Demon King and the queen nowhere to be seen, Iris appears to perform all the ceremonial duties that'd normally fall onto the king, as well negotiating with the neighboring kindom of Elroad when they stop sending financial support for the war effort.
Precocious Crush: She has a crush on Kazuma, who is at least four years her senior and wants him to defeat the Demon King so he can become qualified to be her husband. Meanwhile, Kazuma can only think of her as a little sister because of her age.
Pretty Princess Powerhouse: She is a darling little princess, with beautiful blonde hair and blue eyes, and is accompanied everywhere by her two retainers and an order of knights. Yet in all that company she is the most powerful of the lot. Between her inheritance of powerful abilities from her powerful ancestors and being fed rare foods since childhood, her combat prowess is so immense that at the tender age of 12, she is already a powerful Magic Knight capable of casting Legendary-class magic. Combat-wise she is stronger than the majority of the adventurers in her kingdom, and out of all characters with known adventurer level, hers is second only to Wiz.
Princess Classic: She's a cute, sweet and innocent princess.
The Promise: Is absolutely sure that Kazuma will fulfill his promise to defeat the Demon King, mainly because she is looking forward to gifting him his reward. Which traditionally is having the hero marry the princess of the kingdom. Though she worries that, with his personality, another women might steal him away before that happens so she has to be proactive.
Reverse Escort Mission: In theory, Kazuma and co are hired to escort Iris to Elroad. The actual balance of power and Iris's excitement at being out and about result in her doing all the fighting while the party just watches.
The Rival: Towards Megumin over Kazuma, to the point where she would drop her composed nature and is fully willing to pick a fight with her over him.
Secret-Keeper: She immediately saw through Kazuma's "Masked Chivalrous Thief" disguise and knows that he's actually very strong.
Sheltered Aristocrat: She mostly stays in the castle and in the few occasions where she would go outside, she's surrounded by an entire order of knights. She is thus easily tricked by both Kazuma and Megumin.
Signature Headgear: Around her head, she wears a green headband decorated with grapes and leaves.
Story-Breaker Power: Due to her status and living in the capital, she rarely appears, let alone joins Kazuma's group. There's a reason for this, as the one time she did so, she virtually curb-stomped her way through every opponent in their path, one-shotting every single one of them without any effort. Note that this includes a Golden Dragon and a doppleganger working for the Demon King in volume 10.
Stubborn Hair: Her Idiot Hair pops back when she tries to pull it down.
Sue Donym: When going King Incognito, Iris uses the alias "Alice". In Japanese, Iris is pronounced as "Airisu" and Alice as "Arisu".
Sword Beam: She knows two techniques of this kind, Exterion and Sacred Explode. Iris uses the former more than she actually hits people with her sword, and a single hit is strong enough to instantly kill high level monster, and even a castle gate. The latter requires a charge-up but does the same to a Golden Dragon.
Tough Leader Façade: As Belzerg royalty, she is supposed to be prim and proper, rarely showing any emotion. In private, she'd rather be just like any other little girl.
Uptown Girl: The reason why she is so adamant about Kazuma being the one to defeat the Demon King is because that is the only way for it to be possible for a commoner and royalty like her to get married.
When All You Have Is a Hammer…: She's overly fond of Exterion to the point of barely ever hitting anyone with her sword in favor of spamming it.

Claire Shinfornea

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/24_clare_profile.png

Voiced by: Sayuri Yahagi (Japanese)

A member of the noble household Shinfornea and one of Iris' bodyguards. Also happens to be a high ranking official of the kingdom of Belzerg, which is worrying considering her personality traits.

Ascended Extra: Was originally just portrayed as Iris' stuck-up bodyguard, but over time she has shown up more often in the spin-offs and even in the main volumes; as well as getting more characterization.
Ambiguously Bi: She has a Bodyguard Crush on Iris, but when she first met Kazuma, she doesn't stop comparing him to Mitsurugi and keep insisting on how attractive the latter is. She also doesn't hide her interest for the masked thief who is in fact Kazuma in disguise.
Badass in a Nice Suit: Always wears a suit, which stands out a lot especially when she is in the somewhat rural town of Axel.
Bodyguarding a Badass: The personal bodyguard to one of the most blatantly over-powered human characters in the setting who hilariously outclasses her in terms of sheer killing power. Justified since the princess's high social standing and tender age necessitates the presence of personal attendants such as Claire.
Bodyguard Crush: Seems to have one for Iris, which explains her overprotective nature, and why she clashes with Kazuma so much.
Can't Hold Her Liquor: All it takes to completely intoxicate her is half a cup of wine.
Enemy Mine: She and Kazuma put aside their differences in order to make sure that Iris doesn't end up with her fiance.
Epic Fail: One of her first interactions with Kazuma's party is her attempting to slice off Darkness's hand as punishment for slapping Princess Iris. Darkness being, well, Darkness, is mostly unaffected, but the blade manages to cut just deep enough to splatter Iris with Darkness's blood. In the middle of a dinner party. Oops.
- In the Dust spin-off she's instantly swallowed by a Giant Toad immediately after boasting about how she, as a front-line warrior, was immune to being eaten. ^note
Hate at First Sight: She pretty much immediately came to dislike Kazuma in their first encounter; the feeling was mutual to say the least.
Hiding Behind Your Bangs: Her bangs cover the left side of her face. She has a very serious and sometimes overbearing personality, especially when it comes to protecting Iris.
In-Series Nickname: Kazuma tends to only refer to her as "white suit" much to her irritation.
Loves My Alter Ego: While Claire detests Kazuma with a passion, she fell for his "Masked Chivalrous Thief" disguise, lamenting that he had chosen the path of a criminal but hopes to see him again. Subverted with Megumin, who insists that her feelings was less love than pure admiration. This causes Kazuma to swear to never reveal the truth to her, because he doesn't want to ruin her delusions. Unfortunately, she does. See Secret-Keeper for details.
Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: Much like Darkness, her background as a noble means she doesn't know much about how the rest of the world works.
Secret-Keeper: Played with. After figuring out Kazuma's secret identity as the Masked Chivalrous Thief, she tries to blackmail him into staying away from Iris by threatening to out him to the public. After Kazuma points out that the revelation of the Princess's "onii-sama" being one of the nation's most wanted criminals would cause a massive political shitstorm, she opts to keep it a secret.
Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Not as big of an example as Aqua and Vanir, but she tends to have this dynamic with Kazuma. The two always getting into fights when they are around one another.
Skewed Priorities: She outright says in volume 11, that it was more important that Iris wasn't forced into an Arranged Marriage than securing the nation's funds to fend off the Demon King's army.

Rain

Voiced by: Reina Ueda (Japanese)

A minor noble who serves as Princess Iris's personal bodyguard alongside Claire. As a knowledgeable mage who is wise to the ways of the world (at least for a noble), she also serves as the Princess's personal tutor.

Beleaguered Assistant: Between her, Claire, and their charge, only Rain has an ounce of common sense, and serves as Cloudcuckoolander's Minder for the other two whenever the three of them leave the palace.
Bodyguarding a Badass: She has only been shown casting Intermediate-class magic in battle, whereas Iris is capable of spamming Legendary-class magic. Justified since she serves an important role as Iris's teacher and helps keep her naivete in check.
Blue Blood: Downplayed. Rain is from a minor house of relatively low standing. She still has the trademark blonde hair and blue eyes of Belzerg nobility, though.
Boring, but Practical: The only advanced magic that she's been known to cast is the Teleport Spell, which allows Iris and her entourage to freely travel to and from the Royal Palace.
Impoverished Patrician: Strongly implied. Vanir notes that her abundance of common sense is indicative of someone who has experienced many hardships.
- Confirmed in more recent volumes and highlighted in the Dust-spinoff. Her family has a large outstanding debt, and her embarrassing memories shown by the "friendship crystal" mostly center around her not being able to foot the bill during social outings.
The Non Descript: Perhaps her most outstanding quality is how much she fails to stand out. Her appearance and way she carries herself is so plain and ordinary, that even Vanir wasn't able to immediately ascertain her noble status. Rain herself admits that she often worries about her lack or presence.
Only One Name: The name of her house is never given.
Only Sane Man: Even more so than Yunyun — Rain is left flabbergasted by the general background-level of ridiculousness in Axel Town and the denizens' indifference to things like the daily explosions.
Surpassed the Teacher: If her prefered spell tier if any indication, Princess Iris is much stronger in terms of sheer magical aptitude.

Kingdom of Elroad

Levy

The crown prince of the Kingdom of Elroad and Iris' fiancé.

Arranged Marriage: He's engaged to Iris because of a political alliance between their kingdoms.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: At first, he acts like a rude and arrogant Royal Brat, but his attitude improves after Kazuma and Iris earn his respect.
No Guy Wants an Amazon: He doesn't take well to his engagement to Iris because he sees her as a barbarian princess. Although, he's genuinely impressed by her slaying a dragon almost completely by herself.
Youthful Freckles: In the manga, he has freckles on his face to emphasize his bratty traits.

Fantastic Days characters

Lia

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ria_profile.png

Voiced by: Maki Kawase

Lead singer of the entertainment troupe "Axel Hearts." She also doubles as an adventurer, fighting with a lance.

Amnesiac Hero: Chapter 1-6 of the main campaign reveals that she's one of these. Her earliest memories are coming to near a wrecked troupe cart with a magic piano to her side, remembering nothing except her name and her penchant for dancing. She travels with Axel Hearts hoping that her dancing skills will help her remember anything about her past.
Badass in Distress: Gets kidnapped by Troll Lord Daniel in Chapter 1-6, alongside Aqua.
Barrier Warrior: Once she regains her Magical Keyboard, she finds that she has the ability to summon a super-powerful barrier thanks to her singing.
Casting a Shadow: Her skill set is almost exclusively of the Darkness element.
Color Motif: She's most associated with the color blue, typically the darker shades.
Foil: To Aqua. Both are the blue-haired nominal leaders of their respective female trios and have support skills in the game (Aqua healing, Lia buffing stats), but while Aqua is energetic, prone to outbursts, can be lazy at times, and tends to lack common sense, Lia is far more level-headed, low-key, headstrong, and determined to work hard to accomplish her goals. Aqua is also frequently a Holy attribute in the game, while Lia is often associated with Dark.
Friend-or-Idol Decision: In Chapter 1-9, she seriously considers leaving Axel Hearts for good after gaining her memories back, since she feels the need to complete Aqua's mission of slaying the Demon King. Aqua herself convinces Lia otherwise, reciting passages of Axis Cult scripture that basically boil down to "live the way you want to".
Girls Love Stuffed Animals: Konjiro, a stuffed bear that Lia found after she lost her memories, which she came to feel was her only friend. Even after regaining her memories, she continues to treat Konjiro as if it were alive, even reserving a room for it at an inn when going on vacation.
Idol Singer: Alongside Cielo and Erika.
Informed Attribute: The entire Axel Hearts trio is repeatedly described as having "goddess-like" singing and dancing skills, but neither of these things are ever shown in-game, with the plot opting to simply skip over their concerts. This is especially egregious for Lia, given the spoiled events in Amnesiac Hero above. Though we do get various music videos featuring them. While their singing is enjoyable, it's not significantly better than any other pop group. Though Axel doesn't have many pop groups to compare.
Men Can't Keep House: Gender-flipped example. She is so incapable of keeping her room clean that she almost kills Aqua with her messiness after the two are captured by Daniel and confined to a living room area. Keep in mind that the two were only captured for less than a week.
Out of Focus: In terms of the main campaign, Lia only pops up a handful of times after Part 1.
The Power Of Music: In Chapter 8, it's revealed that the "cheat item" Lia chose to bring with her when she was resurrected was the magic keyboard she had alongside her the whole time, enabling her to become a Barrier Maiden. She uses it to fend off Troll Lord Daniel and his Thor Hammer, much to his surprise.
Status Buff: Her default Super grants the entire party an increase in attack, defense, and speed.
Trash of the Titans: Kazuma finds out the hard way that Lia can't keep her room clean to save her life, and she constantly tries to come up with excuses to get out of cleaning. For instance, her reaction to Cielo pointing out a crusty, molding food bowl on her desk with ants crawling all over it is to say that "ants need to survive too." When Kazuma and the group rescue her and Aqua in Daniel's castle a week after they were kidnapped, Aqua is on the verge of death not from anything Daniel did, but from just how much of a mess Lia made of the room they were trapped in.
Trauma Button: Near the end of Chapter 7, Troll Lord Daniel accidentally kills Lia with Thor's Hammer. When Aqua gets the opportunity to resurrect her, she cryptically says "I remember why I came to this world now". Come Chapter 8, she tells Kazuma and Aqua in private that she's Japanese, and her spear and idol skills were Amnesiac Resonance coming from her days as a naginata club member and part of an obscure idol group. The cause of her amnesia was a pack of monsters ambushing her troupe cart, causing her to fall off a cliff. Humorously, Aqua doesn't remember ever reincarnating her specifically (other than a "No wonder you looked familiar" statement), much like with Mitsurugi.
The Unreveal: We do not find out her real name, instead insisting everyone continue to call her Lia.
Utility Weapon: Her lance has a microphone on the other end, which she uses in one of her Supers to buff everyone.
Villainous Crush: She is the target of Lord Daniel's lust, much to her chagrin.

Cielo

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shiero_profile.png

Voiced by: Karin Isobe

Part of the entertainment troupe "Axel Hearts". She's the shy and introverted type, and due to her upbringing, cannot touch men. When she's not on stage, she provides help to Axel Hearts and other adventurers as an archpriest.

Bifauxnen: Downplayed — while she does look a lot like a young boy, the rest of the cast doesn't really make a big deal out of it, and even her cutscene nameplate reads "Boyish Girl" before she introduces herself.
Charles Atlas Superpower: She looks like she barely has any muscles on her, but is able to punch someone clear across town by accident.
Color Motif: She's typically associated with the color green.
Does Not Like Men: She has a habit of freaking out when near males, and she impulsively punches guys who touch her. Not even Kazuma is spared from this. It's later revealed what her Freudian Excuse is: she's secretly a princess and her parents raised her as a boy, since they expected one for their firstborn heir. This ended up attracting bullies who picked on her for her short height, unbecoming of someone who was supposedly male.
Drill Sergeant Nasty: When a character goes to her for training, Cielo does a 180 and turns into this. She will inflict hundreds of pushups, marathon-length runs, and thousands of situps as mere preparation for the real training.
Foil: To Darkness. Both are blondes (with Darkness being a bright blonde while Cielo is a honey blonde), have noble heritage and are ashamed of it for a specific reason, have skills to support their allies, and are typically The Big Guy of the group. However, while Darkness is the tallest of the main girls, is focused on defense, and has little offensive power (due to her terrible accuracy), Cielo is the shortest Axel Heart and is far more focused on the offensive side. Darkness is also associated with the Earth element while Cielo is usually a Wind unit. In terms of personality, Darkness is also very outgoing and not afraid to speak up or wear her emotions on her sleeves, while Cielo tends to prefer letting Lia and Erika talk if she has nothing specific to say. Also, both girls become very, very determined when their specific interests (masochism and training, respectively) come up.
Idol Singer: Alongside Lia and Erika.
Imposed Handicap Training: Will sometimes do this during her morning workout, which often worries Erika and Lia.
Informed Attribute: The entire Axel Hearts trio is repeatedly described as having "goddess-like" singing and dancing skills, but neither of these things are ever shown in-game, with the plot opting to simply skip over their concerts, outside of music videos.
Megaton Punch: What she inflicts on any male who is close to touching her, even if she doesn't want to. She gains a large male fandom in-universe precisely because of this.
Out of Focus: In terms of the main story, becomes this after Part 1 ends.
Physical Fitness Punishment: When inflicting her training on some poor, unlucky soul, this is the end result when the trainee inevitably collapses from exhaustion.
Really Royalty Reveal: Is eventually revealed to a princess from a very rich noble family. However, her father's extreme personality caused her to run away and eventually join up with Axel Hearts, as a way to accomplish something on her own drive.
Support Party Member: One of three archpriests in the game's roster, the other two being Aqua and Amy. Her kit has more focus on lightning magic, leaning her closer towards a Combat Medic.
Training from Hell: Due to being raised as a boy, Cielo constantly had to train under her wrestler-esque father and his relatives/friends. As a result, she grew to greatly enjoy training, as much as singing in Axel Hearts. When another character comes to her for any kind of training, expect her to put them through the exact same routine, even if it has nothing to do with what the character is training for.
Training Montage: Any scene involving Cielo training someone will usually include one of these.
Villainous Crush: Is the target of Charlie's affections.

Erika

Voiced by: Runa Narumi

Part of the entertainment troupe "Axel Hearts". She's the merrymaker of the trio and has a rather vain obsession with her cuteness. When she's not on stage, she goes adventuring, wielding a knife and lightning magic.

Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: Becomes irritated when neither Daniel nor Charlie have any interest in her.
Attention Whore: She really likes it when people call her cute.
Badass Adorable: Erika certainly thinks of herself this way.
Berserk Button: Telling her she's not cute at all. Even the perception of someone or something being cuter than her will set her off.
Clingy Jealous Girl: She becomes like this if someone threatens to pull others' attention away from her by being cuter than her.
Cloudcuckoolander: Much like Megumin with her explosions or looking cool, her mind wanders into some strange territories in the search of being cuter.
Determinator: Absolutely nothing will get in her way of being the cutest thing in all the land.
Fashionable Asymmetry: Her battle outfit only has armor on one of her breasts and her right boot is higher up on her leg than her left one.
Foil: To Megumin. Both are associated with the Fire element, have outgoing personalities, are frequently opinionated, and have an almost unhealthy obsession with their main gimmick (being called cute and casting Explosion, respectively). In contrast, Erika is obsessed with being cute instead of cool like Megumin, she has long hair to Megumin's short hair, and she has quite the generous bust compared to Megumin's flat chest. Also, while she isn't as tall as Lia is, she is still much taller than Megumin.
Forced Transformation: Wiz sold her a potion that claimed to enhance her cuteness. Luckily, Lia and Cielo read the bottle before she can take it, revealing that it would literally turn her into a real cat. Erika is still wants to take it regardless, forcing Cielo to dump it.
Friend to All Children: She often spends her free time teaching children at her old orphanage how to dance. She also happily encourages other children to dance or follow their dreams.
Gene Hunting: Her Freudian Excuse for her obsession with cuteness. While she was Happily Adopted, she took up singing and dancing with Axel Hearts in the hopes that her eventual stardom will help her find her real parents.
Happily Adopted: While she wants to find her biological parents, she does dearly love her adoptive parents.
Heroes Prefer Swords: Uses a sword in battle.
Idol Singer: Alongside Lia and Cielo.
Informed Attribute: The entire Axel Hearts trio is repeatedly described as having "goddess-like" singing and dancing skills, but neither of these things are ever shown in-game, with the plot opting to simply skip over their concerts.
Large Ham: Not as much as, say, Aqua or Darkness, but Erika tends to go wild with this when performing, or especially when anyone calls her cute.
Ms. Fanservice: Intentional. Both her battle outfit and her stage outfit showcase a lot of skin, complete with generous amounts of cleavage. All of her variant outfits expose a lot of skin or emphasize her shapely body. One of her portraits even shows her about to pull down her top as a tease to her fans.
One-Tract Mind: Erika never fails to seize the opportunity to steer a conversation or moment towards her being cute.
Out-of-Character Moment: Erika and Megumin once got into an argument over whether being cute or cool is better, deciding to settle it by defeating monsters on a quest. When Erika loses, she is forced to act "cool" according to Megumin, which she fails horribly at to start, though her fans start to warm up to it. Eventually, though, she cannot keep it up and is more than happy to act cute once again.
Out of Focus: From the main story once Part 1 ends, just like her bandmates.
Playing with Fire: Most of her units are of the Fire element, as is her default Super.
Shock and Awe: Most of her early units are Lightning-based.
So Beautiful, It's a Curse: Says this almost word for word when the cast finds out that Axel Hearts' would-be captors, the troll Charlie and Troll Lord Daniel, are among their rabid fans.

Melissa

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/merissa_profile.png

Voiced by: Marika Kouno

A lone wolf treasure hunter.

Absolute Cleavage: Her default outfit has this, as does many, many of her variants.
Adventurer Archaeologist: While she doesn't care about archaeology, her standard day job involves searching ruins for treasures she can sell, and said ruins usually have monsters or golems guarding them.
Animals Hate Her: She adores any and all furry animals, but virtually every time she touches one, they bite or try to eat her. Not that she minds, however.
Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: Mitsurugi, who only has eyes for Aqua, is completely immune to her charms, which frustrates Melissa to no end.
Berserk Button: She has zero tolerance for liars. She's absolutely livid when Megumin accidentally reveals that Kazuma's "money for Chomusuke's wing-removal surgery" story was just a ruse, forcing Kazuma to not only hand over his take in their casino heist, but also an additional 100,000 eris as punishment.
The Bet: She makes a bunch of these in order to get the others to go along with her, since they rightfully don't trust her. In one particular instance, she made a bet with Kazuma and Dust that if Kazuma could use his Thief skill to steal her panties, she'd give them 10 million eris, but if they failed, they would have to grovel before her. Of course, this was the one time Kazuma didn't steal panties, but her wallet instead (since she wasn't wearing any that day).
Casting a Shadow: Most of her units have Darkness as one of the elements.
Classy Cat-Burglar: She likes to think herself as one of these, but something usually happens to cause everything to go crazy, especially if she brings along Kazuma and the gang as support.
Custom Uniform of Sexy: Best exemplified by her maid outfits. The other characters wear standard designs, with the only real variance the amount of lace or how long the skirt is. Melissa's, the other hand, employs Absolute Cleavage, an ultra-short skirt, and bare shoulders and back.
Cuteness Proximity: She turns into a blubbering idiot around cute animals. Unfortunately for her, most animals aren't too keen of her and tend to run away. Chomusuke is a rare exception, which Kazuma exploits to his advantage to rope Melissa into another one of his get-rich-quick schemes. Later on in the campaign, she also falls for Mia's animal ears, going so far as to try and pay her for the privilege of fondling them.
Devious Daggers: While she is overall a good person, she won't hesitate to manipulate people to her own end and uses daggers in battle.
Fanservice: The amount of outfits she wears that don't employ this in some fashion can be counted on one hand, with many fingers left over.
Femme Fatale: She absolutely loves manipulating men into being her bodyguard and/or meat shield while she reaps whatever reward she's after.
Going Commando: She doesn't wear any panties on her days off.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She's outwardly callous, but she has a soft spot for helping out the unfortunate. At the beginning of her debut chapter, she refuses to help a little boy find his mother's stolen amulet. When she coincidentally finds an amulet matching his description after her casino heist, she lets the boy have it for a mere one eris, much to his joy.
Light 'em Up: Most of her units also have Holy as one of her elements.
Ms. Fanservice: All of her outfits emphasize her shapely figure and expose as much skin as possible. If there is a series of outfits which keep the other ladies mostly covered, expect Melissa's variant to have lots more exposed skin.
Rivals Team Up: She often teams up with fellow thief Chris when a quest is too much just for her alone and she doesn't want to deal with Kazuma.
Sexy Whatever Outfit: If an outfit style doesn't allow her to show off her body, she'll find some way for it to let her do that regardless.
Stripperiffic: Her outfit consists of a v-neck top, mini jeans short, fishnet stockings, and boots. The skimpiness exposes her large cleavage, midriff, and long legs.
Surrounded by Idiots: She doesn't think too highly of Kazuma's party when she brings them along for a casino heist, especially with Megumin's constant complaining over the heist plan excluding her Explosion spell.
Untrusting Community: Whenever Melissa asks another Axel resident for assistance, all of them are, rightfully, wary of her screwing them over.

Mia

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mia_profile.png

Voiced by: Azumi Waki

A young half-beast girl, hailing from the snowy northern lands of Samuidoh.

Abhorrent Admirer: She hates it whenever Melissa tries to fondle her ears.
Appetite Equals Health: Everyone gets very concerned whenever Mia passes on eating a meal. One time she was genuinely sick, and when fully recovered she devoured large meals like normal.
Ate It All: She's done this a handful of times. While Kazuma and the others are rightfully pissed whenever this happens, Amy will dismiss their concerns completely.
Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Not quite to the same extent as Komekko, but she is extremely easily distracted by the potential of eating food, especially meat.
Big Eater: She eats a lot, especially when it comes to meats and foreign foods. In fact, her first cutscene has her scarfing down Kazuma and Aqua's meat buns as soon as they meet each other.
Big Sister Worship: Absolutely adores Amy and, if left to her own, will often take on some task that she thinks will make Amy even happier.
Black-Hole Belly: The only character who can compete with her stomach is Komekko.
Clingy Jealous Girl: Gets this way with Amy when she starts doting on Komekko for a bit.
Delicious Daydream: Most of Mia's dreams involve food and while out on a quest she will usually be distracted imagining what kind of meal she's going to eat afterwards.
Denied Food as Punishment: Kazuma and the others attempted this a handful of times when Mia got them into trouble, but whatever stance they take is immediately undercut by Amy moments later.
Determinator: Near the end of Chapter 1-4, Amy reveals why she took in Mia as her adoptive sister: a few years before the story, Amy fell violently ill and Mia set out to find the medicines to cure her by herself, in the middle of a snowstorm. As soon as Amy got better, she vowed to keep watch over Mia so that she'll never do something that reckless again.
Dishing Out Dirt: Her attacks are of the earth element.
Eating Contest: Of course, she participates in these whenever she can. She usually wins handily.
Eating the Enemy: Granted, a lot of the enemies are sentient fruits and veggies, but anytime the gang is attacked by a flesh & blood monster, she wants to cook them afterwards.
Expy: She's basically Komekko but slightly more mature and with wolf ears.
Extreme Omnivore: There's very, very little Mia won't eat.
Food as Bribe: The other characters can easily talk Mia into doing anything as long as they promise meat as a reward.
Food Coma: If Mia actually gets to eat enough to fill her up, she'll fall asleep soon afterwards.
Genki Girl: She's so energetic that even someone as ditzy as Aqua can't help but point this out when they first meet in Chapter 1-4.
Happily Adopted: Amy isn't Mia's biological mother, but that doesn't really matter to Mia.
Is It Something You Eat?: Mia asks this whenever someone discusses something she doesn't know.
Light 'em Up: Most of her units are a part of the Holy element.
Little Bit Beastly: She has large wolf-like ears on the top of her head.
Lost Food Grievance: In one instance, Mia wept because the pudding Amy made that she was looking forward to was gone, eaten by someone else. She accused Kazuma and the others and dressed as a detective to try and find the culprit, only to then remember that she herself ate the pudding earlier and simply forgot.
One-Track-Minded Hunger: It's actually extremely rare that Mia goes for more than 5 minutes without mentioning wanting something to eat.
The Snack Is More Interesting: Mia will ignore any danger or threat present if there's food around.
Spoiled Sweet: Amy folds like a wet blanket whenever Mia wants anything, but Mia is still extremely nice and friendly to everyone around her.

Amy

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eimi_profile.png

Voiced by: Naomi Ozora

A half-beast girl, also hailing from the northern lands. Acts as Mia's caretaker.

Action Mom: Takes care of Mia and is perfectly capable of holding her own in battle.
All-Loving Hero: While Mia is her main target, she also loves all the other main characters.
Dishing Out Dirt: Like Mia, most of her units are at least partially Earth element.
Doting Parent: Acts like one towards Mia, letting a lot of her mishaps slide simply because she's cute. She can also convince anyone to do anything for her by doting on them a little bit, treating even people older than her as her children.
Feminine Mother, Tomboyish Daughter: Not an extreme example, but Amy is extremely feminine, passive, and motherly, wearing long dresses and regularly dotes on the others. Mia, meanwhile, usually wears pants (with her default outfit being a farmer's overalls), is far more active, and doesn't really care about girly things.
For Happiness: The only reward Amy ever wants is for Mia to smile and be happy.
Lap Pillow: Loves it when Mia, or any other character she is doting on at the moment, lies down on her lap. She once got Kazuma to charge into a very dangerous battle with the promise of this.
Little Bit Beastly: Mainly shown in her canine ears, which are constantly in a folded down position.
Mama Bear: If Mia is in danger, expect Amy to move heaven and earth to make things right.
Mistaken for Suicidal: Kazuma and Aqua find Amy standing over a cliff and think she's about to end it all. Turns out she just needs to find a way down in order to catch some mushrooms that ran away.
Parental Substitute: Ends up acting as Mia's mother, even though they are not related.
Pushover Parent: The worst punishment Amy can inflict onto Mia is giving her sweet potatoes for desert instead of pudding.
Support Party Member: She plays this role more closely than resident archpriests Aqua and Cielo. Her kit includes the ability to buff her own heal skill and give her allies a defense boost.
Team Mom: While she normally plays as Mia's mom, she will also dote on Kazuma and the others if it tickles her fancy.
Tough Love: Kazuma and the others try to force Amy to give Mia this, in order to curb her spoiled tendencies, but Amy is physically unable to say "No" to Mia long enough for this to take effect.
Unflappable Guardian: It takes a lot to actually make Amy genuinely concerned for Mia's health beyond scraped knees or going hungry for more than 5 minutes.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/r2jpg.jpg

A previous reincarnation by Aqua. A bungling inventor type with a knack for causing havoc.

Absent-Minded Professor: He originally did have altruistic aspirations for saving the world from the Demon King, but entries in his diaries quickly reveal how much of an idiot this guy was in life.
Apocalyptic Log: Played for Laughs. Whenever he's involved, the heroes inevitably find one of his diaries which details his troubles with his latest invention. Said diaries mainly highlight how much of an idiot this guy was.
Dying Alone: After the Destroyer went on a rampage with him inside, he spent the rest of his days completely alone and trapped until he was left to rot. However, Aqua can tell he died with no regrets since he was fed up with the world that forced him to create deadly machines that caused more trouble than they solved.
Jerkass: Kazuma certainly thinks so, as he's repeatedly called this man an asshole for the utter chaos his inventions tend to cause. The Movie reveals him calling the Crimson Demons, his creations mind you, morons which Kazuma prevents Megumin from knowing lest suffering Broken Pedestal.
Karma Houdini: By virtue of being long dead, he'll never get any comeuppance for the trouble his inventions cause in the present.
Lethally Stupid: His bumbling idiocy resulted in the creation of the Mobile Fortress Destroyer and the destruction of the kingdom that commissioned it.
No Name Given: We never learn his name.
Posthumous Character: He's long dead by the time Kazuma comes to the world and we only learn about him through his diary entries.
The Power of Creation: He could create anything he could personally imagine out of nothing, with the exception of living things as his reincarnation bonus
Shadow Archetype: He's practically Kazuma if he let his NEET tendencies go out of whack.
Small Role, Big Impact: Although he's already dead, he's the reason why the Destroyer and the Crimson Demon clan came to be, making him responsible for two whole story arcs.
Terrible Artist: He originally meant to model the Mage Killer after a dog, but his drawing was so bad that people built it with the shape of a snake instead.
