Characters from Another World Awakening Transcendental Create Skill include:
Main Characters[]
Tayaka Nagami[]
A description of the character goes here.
- Accidental Pervert: Lady Ever tricks him into walking in on Akane changing. Akane is not amused. Mique lands atop him nude and shape-shifts from wolf to human on the way. Then, while he's recovering in the guild's clinic, he wakes up to find himself naked, surrounded by Mique, Lady Ever, and Letty, who all sexually tease Meyreel when she shows up to check on him...
- Adaptational Niceness: In the original novel, he steals the monster stone from the boar monster while the rest aren't looking and hides it among his possessions, having been already banished and doing the monster dismantling only because he was forced to via violence. In the manga, he's seen withdrawing the stone and it's taken from him by force, to later be smuggled out and given to him by Shiore, the one person in class who ever treated him with kindness.
- In the lightnovel, when he's rescued by Sea Rat and the class is at his mercy, he's asked what to do with them and proclaims that he'd like nothing more than to have them stripped naked and marched around town to give them a glimpse of the humiliation they loved to inflict on him, but he's talked out of it by Sage Ever and the rest; the class is then put into a dungeon, in chains, under Ever's mansion, where they're left to wait in despair for the day of their execution, which pleases him greatly. In the manga, Tayaka pleads for his classmates to receive amnesty and be rehabilitated, and Sage Ever agrees, then puts them all in her dungeon, where they are left to stew in the consequences of their actions while she decides how to best rehabilitate them...
- Because You Were Nice to Me: He signs on with Sea Rat and works himself so hard he has to be physically dragged out of his lab because they treat him with the kindness and respect he deserves as a person, as opposed to his classmates who treated him like slave labor at the absolute best.
- Chick Magnet: Women in the new world who get to know him like him for his kind and gentle nature.
- Dude, She's Like, in a Coma: On the wrong end. And played for laughs. After he's rescued from the group under Akito, he later wakes up in the guild's HQ, surrounded by his Unwanted Harem, wearing not a stitch of clothing, and the rest of the girls critically under-dressed. When Meyreel suddenly pays him a visit, Ever, tease that she is, asks her if she wants to join in, causing the poor girl to run off, blushing like crazy...
- Extreme Doormat: Even before the bus crash that dragged his entire class to this new world, he was treated like the class's whipping boy, sadly Truth in Television. After getting to the new world, the rest bullied him 37-1, with him helpless to resist due to the rest having glaringly obvious super-powers. Then he's banished into the wilderness with no options or prospects "as a burden."
- Happily-Failed Suicide: When he's just summarily thrown into the forest, after being forced to dismantle a beast that was left to rot "for old time's sake" and (at least in the manga) lifted into the air by his throat to steal what few valuables he had, then banished with the dismantling tools none of the rest of the class wanted to touch, and a handful of coins, unknown value, and left with no viable options, he buys a bottle of liquor, and after chugging it, slits his wrists, waiting to die. He's rescued by Meyreel's party, brought to the guild, and that's where he learns that he actually had the most valuable talents of his entire class, and actually gets treated with decency.
- Living MacGuffin: His [Fabrication] talent, level IX, is so rare and valuable that entire countries want him, and when his old classmates, who banished him, learn of it, kidnap and abuse him.
- No Guy Wants to Be Chased: He hates it when women are too sexually aggressive. He flees from some prostitutes, despite having gone to a brothel early in the story, because they crowded him, fighting over his business. He cringes away from Letty, Ever, and Mumuru because they see nothing wrong with basically trying to force themselves on him. He barely torelates Mique because she genuinely doesn't understand her actions. He appreciates Meyreel because even though she pursues him romantically, waits for him to give her the green light before she does anything to or with him. He also returns Akane's affections once she becomes interested in him because she's just as skittish as he is.
- Right for the Wrong Reasons: He cures the ill wolfwere, later named Mique, who attacked him and Akane, rationalizing it by saying that he needs her to test the efficacy of his freshly minted High Potion II. Mique just happened to know where to find the iron ore he needed to complete the second task Sage Ever gave him, forging his dismantling blade, and to top it off Mique provided him a rare Sage stone that would later prove very, very useful when Demon General Mumuru came looking for a replacement magic spear...
- Smarter Than You Look: People frequently comment that he looks clueless and unreliable at first glance, but he's actually a scarily good strategist and tactician, and even without his [Fabricator] skill, he is exceptionally talented at anything that requires assembly, such as blacksmithing, cooking, alchemy, you name it.
- Support Party Member: He's utterly useless in a fight, and he knows it. His value comes from the fact that he makes the tools the actual fighters need, food, weapons, arms and armor, potions, you name it.
Sage Ever[]
One of the six level IX wizards in the world, and the master appointed to train Tayaka in how to use his [Fabrication] skill.
- Blatant Lies: When she's spying on Tayaka's date with Meyreel through the magical necklace she placed on him as part of his training, she says it's her duty to watch over him and doesn't actually like to peep. Nobody buys it.
- Bunny Ears Lawyer: She's a complete and total goof-ball, but everyone puts up with her antics because she is a level IX wizard and her magic's the real deal.
- Establishing Character Moment: On her introduction, she walks up to Tayaka, who has just woken up from a celebration with the rest of the guild, where a lot of booze was involved, and proceeds to "sober him up" by teleporting him high into the sky and as he's falling to his death then teleports him into the ocean, and keeps swirling him around like he's in a washing machine, before dumping him to the ground with various bits of sea-life all over him. This serves to illustrate that she's going to be a real handful, at the best of times...
- The Gadfly: She loves to tease Tayaka, in every possible way, just to get a rise out of him, again, in every possible way.
- Shameless Fanservice Girl: She knows Tayaka finds her very, very attractive and it leaves him flustered, but still loves to shove his head into her bosom, flaunts her fanservice, and even barges into the bath while he's bathing and disrobes in front of him...
- Shipper on Deck: She fully supports Tayaka+Meyreel, but that doesn't stop her from pretty much forcing herself on him at every opportunity.
- Sink or Swim Mentor: Her idea of "training" Tayaka and Akane is giving them tasks and then letting the two figure things out themselves. She even gives Tayaka "The Karate Kid" treatment by grinding his [Fabrication] levels through doing household chores...
- The Tease: She knows she's alluring and loves to flaunt it.
Akane Tsubaki[]
Sage Ever's other apprentice.
- All Women Are Prudes: She responds to Sage Ever's antics with total disgust and is initially quite hostile to Tayaka because Sage Ever rigged things so he'd unwittingly walk into her room and catch her changing clothes...
- Defrosting Ice Queen: She starts the story quite jaded and cynical, resenting Tayaka because Sage Ever demanded she teach him her clan's secret forging techniques, but she mellows towards Tayaka when she sees that there's method to his "madness."
- Through His Stomach: The first time she smiles, ever, is when Tayaka feeds her some freshly cooked meat from the monster she just killed. She quickly realizes this and desperately tries to backpedal...
- Tsundere: Harsh type. She's very irritable and grouchy, but beneath the surface, she's a very sweet and sensitive woman...
Mique[]
A female wolfwere that attacks Akane and Tayaka in a fever-induced rampage. After he cures her, she becomes completely devoted to him and calls him "Master."
- Attack Hello: Tayaka and Akane meet her as a result of her launching an attack at them while she's under a fever induced delusion.
- Beast Man: She's a wolf that can take a (mostly) human form, which has wolf ears and a wolf's tail.
- Innocent Fanservice Girl: Since she's a wolf who can take on a humanoid form, not the other way around, she simply fails to comprehend human concepts of modesty. So she has no problem prancing up to Tayaka in her birthday suit, or climbing into his bed and sleeping nude beside him...
- I Owe You My Life: She swears loyalty to Tayaka and calls him "master" because he cured her of the poison that was making her sick.
- The Juggernaut: She is so strong, fast, and durable, that she fought Akane to a standstill, despite being poisoned to the brink of death while Akane was at her prime, and when she's part of the force to rescue Tayaka, she completely stomps a group of 29 powerful and talented people, even taking a cannon blast to the face unscathed...
- Naked First Impression: She meets Akane and Tayaka nude. She's in wolf-form at the time, so that's no issue, but when she collapses atop Tayaka, she changes into her humanoid form unconsciously...
- One-Man Army: In chapter 5 of the manga (and the matching place in the novel), she takes on the rest of Akito's party, alone, while Meyreel is dealing with Shunichi, and overwhelms them with ease, even taking a hit from a cannon to the face does nothing to deter her.
- This Is Unforgivable!: Regardless of medium, she finds Akito's antics toward Tayaka utterly unforgivable, and if she could, would literally rip the head off of every last person involved.
Mumuru[]
The Demon General leader of the succubi.
- 100% Adoration Rating: Every last one of her subordinates in Demon territory adores her, without exception including two traitor succubi.
- Ain't Too Proud to Beg: When she comes to Tayaka to request a new spear, she bends her head to the ground and grovels, believing that if her mother learns her magic spear is broken, her life is forfeit.
- Ambiguously Brown: For some unstated reason, her skin tone is considerably darker than just about every other succubus in her territory.
- Benevolent Boss: She may be lazy and wish for nothing more than to spend all day reading manga and eating potato chips, but she takes her duties as Demon General seriously. When she's with Tayaka in a village and sees a child suffering from miasma overload, she stops what she's doing and heals the child best she can, personally, calling it her "sacred duty."
- Brilliant but Lazy: Slothful as she may be, she is indeed a powerful and talented warrior.
- Innocent Fanservice Girl: The succubus race, by cultural norm, wears very revealing outfits. So even though she's dressed in rather skimpy outfits, she's rarely trying to entice anyone.
- Made a Slave: Subverted. Sage Ever slaps her and Letty in slave collars and chains as payment for Tayaka fixing her magic spear but then breaks the chains and accepts a rather large but more traditional currency as pay instead, claiming it was all "just a joke."
- Rose-Haired Sweetie: The color manga cover has her with red hair, and she's a total sweetheart once you get to know her.
- Trash of the Titans: Her bedroom is an unmitigated disaster back in the Demon Realm.
- Winged Humanoid: As with most "demons," she sports bat-like wings.
Letty[]
Mumuru's maid and bodyguard. She promises Tayaka unlimited access to her body if he can repair, or ideally replace, Mumuru's magic spear. She becomes his maid and bodyguard when he succeeds, sealing the oath with a kiss on the lips, which weirds Meyreel out when she sees it.
- Bodyguard Babes: She is both a very alluring woman and works as a bodyguard.
- The Gadfly: She loves to tease Tayaka and Meyreel just to get a reaction.
- I Gave My Word: She signs up to be Tayaka's maid and bodyguard, even though Mumuru paid handsomely for her spear's repairs, because she promised to give him "her everything" if he accepted the job.
- Made a Slave: Subverted. Initially, Sage Ever demanded she become Tayaka's slave as payment when he repaied Mumuru's spear, but was happy to let her become his maid and bodyguard instead when Mumuru paid with an unstated amount of the local currency.
- A Magic Contract Comes with a Kiss: She seals the deal in becoming Tayaka's servant by kissing him on the lips. Meyreel shows up and sees it, without context, and gets the wrong idea. Even the people present for the whole thing and have the full context are openly shocked.
- Sexy Secretary: She usually serves as the guild's receptionist when Tayaka is in his lab, which is deep in the guild HQ and away from the public, just so she has something to do, and she's apparently very good at it, plus nobody can deny she's physically appealing.
- Shameless Fanservice Girl: Unlike Mumuru who only wears skimpy gear because it's a cultural norm, she knows the effect such clothing has on people of the opposite sex, especially Tayaka, and plays it up for all it's worth.
- The Tease: Though not as brazen as Ever, she does like to sexually tease Tayaka, and even Meyreel on occasion.
- Winged Humanoid: She also sports bat-like wings.
Classmates[]
Common to all[]
The rest of Tayaka's class.
- The Bully: They all happily made Tayaka's life hell by treating him as an outcast and their whipping boy. Except for Shiore, but she's Evil All Along...
- Fair-Weather Friend: Justified, for most of them. When the rest of the class realizes that Akito was perfectly willing to sacrifice them to an AOE fire attack, in the hopes that that would defeat Mique, they all surrender to the Sea Rat guild, leaving him in the dust. At this point, Meyreel tells the lout that they never actually liked him and were only clinging to him because his skills were handy to them. When Shiore is abandoning the alpha bitch posse to their fate, she tells them, point blank, that since she stole all their magical skills, they are of no further use to her and she never liked them either because of their prima donna attitude, caring only about being catered hand and foot, making themselves look pretty, and bashing on Tayaka, for petty reasons, if they had any reason at all.
- Flat Character: A carboard cut-out has more depth than even the most well-developed of them. Without exception, the only thing of note is that they're incredibly vain, arrogant, selfish, and petty with no redeeming features whatsoever. They all treat Tayaka with abuse and contempt for no other reason than they can.
- Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Their cruel act of banishing Tayaka is what allowed Meyreel and company to find him and bring him to Sea Rat, where his true potential could be appraised, setting him on the path to greatness.
- No Name Given: Aside from Akito, Shunichi, and Shiore, none of them is ever named.
- Stupid Evil: There's an old saying "don't mess with the guy who handles your food." Tayaka was made to dismantle their hunts and prepare them for consumption, including cooking the meat. They not only abused the hell out of him, they outright banished him and did their best to make sure he either died in a ditch, wound up in a monster's gullet, became utterly suicidal, or if he managed to miraculously survive and recover, would be way, way too resentful to ever want to return. It's like the old fable where a group of organs decided to banish the stomach "because all it does is sit around doing nothing," only to realize, too late, that without a stomach to digest the food, they're not going to be fed either...
- Teens Are Monsters: None of them has any redeeming traits. They ganged up on Tayaka 37-1 and made him feel utterly worthless during his school tenure and then in the new world treated him as slave labor, on a good day, and none of them so much as objected to Akito's sudden desire to just dump him in the woods to die...
Akito Harukawa[]
The class president and the one who "held a vote" deciding to banish Tayaka at the start of the story.
- Adaptational Jerkass: In the original novel, he could at least pretend that he cared about Tayaka's well-being, but was pressured by the rest of the class to act as cruel as he did. In the manga, he very, very happily gloats at Tayaka's suffering and makes it a point to tell Tayaka that any act of decency is purely for the sake of appearances.
- The Chosen One: What he believes he is. As such, he took to bossing the class around whenever it suits him and came to the conclusion that the new world owes him the "riches stolen from him", so he was perfectly justified in turning to banditry "to take it back." Especially in regards to Sea Rat, for daring to treat Tayaka with respect, leading to mutual prosperity. He takes it poorly when he sees with his own eyes that this is just not so and Meyreel condemns him for his entitled attitude.
- Class Representative: Back in Japan, he was the class president, and is still treated as such for months after coming to this new world.
- Entitled Bastard: Since he was born to a rich family, was good in athletics, and had every boon academically, he came to believe he was guaranteed success by birthright. When his own decision to hold "a class vote" that resulted in banishing Tayaka turned around to bite him and the rest, he led a raid to kidnap Tayaka, demanding that his previous victim betray his allies and allow himself to be the class slave again. He also makes a point of telling Tayaka, as he's showing off plenty of valuables he and his class have stolen, that he believes the new world "stole the riches that are rightfully his," so he's utterly determined to take it back by any means necessary.
- Insane Troll Logic: When he demands Tayaka betray Sea Rat and return to "his friends and classmates" and Tayaka refused, he came to the conclusion that the best way to convince him was not by sincere apologies or offering wealth, comfort, and luxury, but to cut off Tayaka's hand and promise to "treat him as a pet." When Tayaka grew more bitter as a result, he commanded Shuigetsu to behead him. Fortunately Meyreel showed up with the cavalry...
- Jerk Jock: He's one of the class's top athletes and a real piece of work...
- Shock and Awe: He awakens the ability to hurl lightning around in the new world.
- Villainous Demotivator: He has the gall to be shocked that Tayaka would have loyalty to Sea Rat, who treated him with genuine kindness before they knew he had special powers and talents, as opposed to his "friends and classmates" who treated him like unwanted trash in both Japan and this new world, so cuts off his hand "to prove Sea Rat only cares about his talent, not him as a person" and when Tayaka calls him out for that, tries to have him beheaded.
- We Have Reserves: Deconstructed. When he and his class were being raided by Sea Rat in the rescue of Tayaka, he ordered his group's strongest fire mage to launch an AOE attack without any regards for the vanguards who were holding Mique at bay, barely. The instant the class clued into it, they surrendered to the last man, leaving him in the dust.
Shunichi Suetsugu[]
The worst of the class bullies. He towers over everyone and wields an axe. He, in particular, loved to brutalize Tayaka at every opportunity.
- Aura Vision: His magical skill "Visualization" allows him to determine the strength of his opponent by reading their energy level. Even so, he can still be blindsided if he comes across someone or something that uses a special skill that isn't inherently of a martial nature in creative ways...
- Ax Crazy: Literally. He wields a massive two-handed axe and loves nothing more than going around inflicting violence on others, especially those who can't defend themselves. When Akito demanded Tayaka be beheaded for refusing to sell out Sea Rat, this clown was ecstatic!
- The Big Guy: He towers over everyone else in the class, even a head taller than Akito, the Class president...
- The Bully: While the rest of the class saw Tayaka as nothing more than a whipping boy, going out of their way to socially isolate him, for petty reasons, if they had any reason at all, this clod took great pleasure in inflicting physical violence on him, just for the thrill of beating up on someone he knows can't fight back.
- I Was Beaten by a Girl: Lampshaded almost word for word when he loses a fight to Meyreel, who is actually a lower combat level than himself but has a special skill that allowed her to avoid all his attacks while hitting him with precise counters.
- Underestimating Badassery: He knew Meyreel had some kind of special skill, but not what that skill was, so he presumed he could beat her simply because he's got a higher martial-arts level than her. She completely kicks the literal crap out of him while he couldn't even touch her.
- Would Hit a Girl: When he sees Meyreel tending to Tayaka with emergency first aid, to keep him from bleeding out, he marches up from behind her to boast that he can't hold back against women. She retorts that he'd better not, or she might just kill him by accident. Cue an epic Curb Stomp Battle in her favor.
Shiore Mizukami[]
The only member of the class to treat Tayaka with kindness, or so it seems at first glance...
- Adaptational Niceness: In the original lightnovel, she has nothing to do with Tayaka getting the monster stone, and doesn't wish him well upon his banishment. In the manga, she smuggles the magic stone away from Akito and sneaks it to Tayaka as he's leaving, to give him slightly better odds, before she knew he had magic powers, an act of genuine kindness.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: At first glance, she looks like a sweet and nice girl, who treated Tayaka with as much kindness as she could get away with, without suffering the wrath of the class herself, but chapter 5 of the manga reveals that she's just as evil as the rest, and all her acts of kindness, no matter how genuine, are purely for her own self-satisfaction and/or making her targets let their guard down so she could exploit them later.
- Kick the Son of a Bitch: Leaving your female classmates completely helpless before abandoning them to monsters (manga) or selling them to bandits for sexual slavery (lightnovel) is a horrific act, but the six girls to whom she does it had it coming because they did their best to destroy Tayaka's self-esteem with social isolation during his school tenure and not only happily voted for his banishment from their camp, leaving him no viable prospects for long-term survival, they openly mocked him and called him "gross" for crying tears of despair.
- Power Parasite: Her rare skill [Void] allows her to steal the skill trees of others. After stealing the skills of six unnamed female classmates, she sets her sights on Tayaka's [Root], so she can claim his special talent(s) for herself.
Sea Rat[]
Meyreel[]
The priestess of the adventuring party who found and rescued Tayaka Nanami, bringing him to Sea Rat in the first place.
- Badass Boast: When she told Shunichi that she can't be bested one on one in pure melee combat, she's not kidding. She almost literally curbstomps the bully even though he's a Martial Artist level VII, while she's a level IV, at best...
- Beware the Nice Ones: She's a total sweetheart most of the time, but when she's pissed at Tayaka's former classmates for the way they abused him, then kidnapped him when they learned he was successful in spite of their cruelty, torturing and trying to kill him when he refused to go back to being their slave lackey, she leads Mique to their hidden lair and the two of them totally wreck the place, crushing their superiority complex to the ground.
- Blessed with Suck: She's a priestess by trade and training, but she turns out to be gifted with martial skills, little in the way of healing magic, and her Rare skill is the ability to engage in Bullet Time.
- Bullet Time: The true nature of her "rare skill" allows her to engage in time dilation. She can speed up her own personal time for a fraction of a second, allowing her to dodge incoming blows or launch perfect counters to any melee attack...
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: The manga covers have her with golden blonde hair, and she's a real sweetheart until she's given reason not to be.
- No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: She drags Tayaka out of his lab to keep him from working himself to death and takes him on a date, where they visit the town's coast, and it was going well too, but this gave Akito the opening he needed to kidnap Tayaka...
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: In sequence from Shunichi to Akito. To the former, she calls him out for being a bully who can "only be strong when fighting the weak" and for the latter with a biting remark about how the later was not "chosen" by anybody and was only "popular" because the rest of the class were relying on his skills, nothing more.
- Right for the Wrong Reasons: In the novel, the reason why she finds and rescues Tayaka is that she sees him in strange garb, coming from the direction of an explosion with an unknown cause, implied to be the bus crash that brought Akito's class to the new world, and she figured he might have information that could help her guild-assigned investigation. The rest of her party balked at her request, insisting that they learned everything they could and to let the poor guy enjoy his suicide in peace. As a result of picking up Tayaka in his darkest hour and giving him hope, her guild managed to nab for themselves a very rare and precious talent that is all too happy to work on their behalf.
- The Smurfette Principle: She's the only female member of her adventuring party.
- Tsundere: Cordial type. She's very elegant and cordial to people until she's given reason not to be, but when she's comfortable enough around someone to lower her guard, she shows a wild and irreverent side that Tayaka finds endearing.
Dike[]
The party tank of Meyreel's party.
- The Casanova: He's a skirt chaser and proud of it.
- Flat Character: He doesn't get much in the way of characterization.
- Healing Hands: He's the one who has the healing magic in the party.
Roar[]
The remaining member of the party and its archer.
- Hookers and Blow: He spends most of his disposable income on brothels, and doesn't bother to hide it. In fact, he makes a point of giving a professional rating of the brothels he's visited to Tayaka completely unprompted.
- Mr. Vice Guy: He's a good and decent man but he frequents bars and brothels in equal measure.
Rudra[]
Sea Rat's guild master
- Casual Kink: When Tayaka enters his office to sign up for the guild, the guild master is wearing nothing but a pig mask, a collar, and a leash, being "disciplined" by the very attractive elf vice-guild master, who is wearing a dominatrix outfit. Awkward abounds.
Feyria[]
The vice guild-master
- Casual Kink: She's introduced wearing a dominatrix costume and whipping Rudra with a riding crop as part of S&M play. Awkward abounds...
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: She may look small and silly with a S&M fetish, but she's known as "a nightmare" among the Demon territories.
Demon Continent[]
Azasha[]
Mumuru's mother and the former Demon General of the succubi.
- Abdicate the Throne: She willingly handed down the title of "Demon General of the Succubi" to Mumuru, prematurely, by her own admission, purely because she thought Mumuru was more talented, but she never, ever properly trained her to rule in her stead...
- Abusive Parents: She frequently makes death threats against her daughter Mumuru, sent her to round up Tayaka for the "crime" of repairing Mumuru's magic spear without Ayasha's knowledge, as Mumuru commissioned him to do, and when Mumuru manages to bring him to her, hurls her into the far wall with so much force, she craters said wall, made of solid stone, loudly shouting "You're late!" Then a close-up of Mumuru in chapter 7 shows that the poor girl only managed to survive because she caught her magic spear with her teeth! YIKES!!
- All Crimes Are Equal: She responds to any and all insubordination, no matter how slight, with lethal force.
- Bystander Syndrome: When Mumuru is kidnapped by a rival demon general in order to force her into marriage, this woman just sits in her castle, doing nothing but proclaiming "there's nothing I can do" and tries to blame Demon race politics...
- The Dreaded: While Mumuru rules her territory through compassion and kindness, she ran it through fear, and everybody walks on eggshells around her as a result.
- Fantastic Racism: She's not as mad that Mumuru tried to hide that her magic spear was broken and she went to fix it on the sly as much as she's enraged that a human was the one who did the necessary repairs, because the demon tribe's own [Fabricator] was unavailable at the time...
- Hair-Trigger Temper: She gets murderously enraged with alarming ease.
- I Did What I Had to Do: Her last appearance in the manga has her hands literally soaked in blood, and she tells Tayaka that she had no choice but to kill two succubus maids she raised from birth, as a result of said maids engaging in treason...
- Parental Neglect: When she isn't screaming at, threatening, or beating up on Mumuru, she just leaves her daughter to her own devices and ignores her.
Remy and Yami[]
Two succubus maids at the top of Mumuru's subordinates, just shy of Letty.
- Circular Reasoning: They believe resisting the Zanma tribe is pointless, so they betray the succubus race, especially Mumuru, by sabotage, every step of the way, allowing them to stay in positions of power watching over Mumuru. They pay for this mistake with their lives.
- Deep-Cover Agent: They've been scheming together with Ryogou for decades, with the entire succubus tribe unaware. It's only because Tayaka saw through their schemes that they were exposed.
- The Dividual: They travel together as a matched set.
- Out-Gambitted: They had Mumuru and Azasha dancing in the palm of their hands, and convinced themselves that they were being loyal since handing Mumuru over to Ryogou without a fight was the only way to avoid needless casualties. Tayaka saw through their schemes and exploited them to beat Ryogou at his own game.
- Xanatos Speed Chess: Their first scheme involved sabotaging Mumuru's spear to break when she wielded it during her ascension ceremony, but the trident spear-head snapped off a month early as Mumuru was showing it to Letty, allowing Tayaka to fix it. So a few days after Mumuru ascends, they reveal the fact that a human fixed the spear to Azasha, who has an epic meltdown and demands Tayaka be brought to the Demon Realms, at which point they sabotage teleport system so Mumuru, Tayaka, and crew wind up in Zanma territory. As the crew is escaping Zanma territory, the two pretend to mind-wipe the encounter from Zanma's armies but instead give Ryogou cassus belli by making it look like an unprovoked attack when it was actually Zanma's forces who are the aggressors. Lastly, when Tayaka is attempting to rescue Mumuru, they pretend to help him reforge and upgrade Mumuru's trident but actually sabotage it so it breaks when fighting Ryogou. Tayaka saw through the last one and rigged the spear with paralytic toxins so whoever broke it would have their dominant arm disabled, forcing them to drop their weapon. Thus Mumuru and Ryogou were forced to fight hand-to-hand, showing one and all that Ryogou's boasted strength was faked.
Ryogou[]
The demon general of the Zanma tribe.
- Badass Boast: Subverted. When he's fighting Mumuru in a duel to decide her fate, he boasts that he will break her spear in three hits. As is soon revealed, this isn't a boast of his strength, but rather because he knows Remi and Yami have sabotaged the spear to break if it's hit three times.
- Broken Pedestal: His tribe idolized him until they see with their own eyes, as he's fighting Mumuru, that the strength he boasts of is a sham. They turn and swear allegiance to her when she beats him in spite of his schemes.
- Cornered Rattlesnake: After his loss to Mumuru, he finds himself being teleported to the Council of Six Sages by the magic talisman Ever provided Tayaka, in order to be judged under international law for his attempted coup, kidnapping of Mumuru, and attempted forced marriage, not to mention boasting the intent to declare war on the humans once he had subjugated the succubi. Seeing no way to escape, he angrily attacks the sages "as inferior humans" and gets sliced to bits by a human female known far and wide as "the sword princess."
- Dirty Coward: He loves to talk a big game and go around beating up those who can't fight back, but when he's clearly outmatched, he tries to run, cower, and hide.
- Fantastic Racism: He's supremacist against humans, succubi, and pretty much anybody that isn't from his own tribe of Daemons.
- Hypocrite: He loves to boast "Might Makes Right" when he's winning and uses cowardly schemes to make himself look mightier than he is, but when he's losing to a clearly mightier opponent, he angrily accuses them of cheating and still proclaims that he's the superior one.
- Karmic Death: He's both misogynistic and racist towards humans, so he meets his end being sliced to pieces by a human woman.
- Person of Mass Destruction: Equipped with his magic sword, he was able to slice Mumuru's castle like a hot knife through butter.
- Miles Gloriosus: He loves to boast about his strength, might, and self-perceived superiority, but his might is dependent entirely on his magic sword and everything else is pure showmanship, nothing more than petty schemes, smokes, and mirrors.
- Stay in the Kitchen: He doesn't care how smart, skilled, or powerful the succubi are. The only purpose he sees in them is as breeding stock and watching over the house while "the real warriors" go to the battlefield. Any who disagree are to be beaten down until they "realize he's right."
