Main characters
[edit]- Yūya Tenjō (天上 優夜, Tenjō Yūya)
- Voiced by: Yoshitsugu Matsuoka[1] (Japanese); Lee George[2] (English)
- The main protagonist, he was tormented by both his classmates and his family for his ugliness and obesity. He inherits his grandfather's house, where he finds a portal to another world. After killing a powerful monster using the weapons he found in the house, Yūya grows stronger, taller and handsome, and obtains special powers by defeating enemies like in a video game. Because his previous isolation made him a loner and shut-in, he is both very self-depreciative about his enhancements and quite ignorant of the effects they - especially his new, improved looks and charisma - have on his environment. He travels back and forth between both worlds, using his newly obtained skills to improve himself, gaining a lot of notoriety and making friends and enemies along the way.
- Night (ナイト, Naito)
- Voiced by: Nao Tōyama[3] (Japanese); Morgan Lauré (English)
- A puppy of the Black Fenrir, a mythological race of disastrously destructive canines in the other world, who was found and adopted by Yūya during one of his outings in the Forest of Weald. Like Yūya, he levels up when confronting monsters in combat, and grows stronger and smarter than his small size would suggest. After fighting the alien Dragonians, he gains the ability to assume his mature form at night, thereby vastly increasing his fighting power. He is named after the kanji for "night" (夜) in Yūya's first name.
- Akatsuki (アカツキ, Akatsuki)
- Voiced by: Yuka Iguchi[3] (Japanese); Emi Lo (English)
- A young Mōju boar from the other world who joins Yūya as his second pet. A naturally born protector of his homeworld, Akatsuki has several innate holy powers (including abilities to heal, purify an area, and perform exorcisms) which are strong enough to defy even an Evil's powers. Yūya has named him for his red fur, which reminds him of the scarlet hue of the sky just before dawn.
- Ōma (オーマ)
- A purple-scaled member of the Genesis Dragons, a legendary species of only two which existed in the other world since its creation. Originally a guardian of evil, he gradually shifted towards good. He befriended the Sage after the latter defeated him in combat. Millenia later, he awoke from his slumber due to the recently increased activities of the Saints and Evils, inadvertently causing unrest among the local monsters. After Owen asks Yūya to investigate the disturbance, Yūya, Kaori and Yuty come upon the dragon, who in spite of his arrogance allows himself to be "tamed" after developing a liking to Yūya's cooking. He also gains the ability to shrink himself from his normal giant size to a more miniature form thanks to a drop item gifted to him by Yūya. Despite all this, however, he mostly lazes around, rarely lending a helping hand. Yūya gave him his name after a word for "early evening" based on a Japanese expression saying "bad things come at dusk".
- Kuro (黒, Kuro)
- A sentient dark essence originally infused with Yuti by the Evil Trio to corrupt her. When its influence is suppressed by Akatsuki and Yuti subsequently devotes her life to combatting the Evils, the essence abandons her body and tries to kill her. To save Yuti, Yūya allows the essence to possess him, but once inside Yūya, it found him too pure and kindhearted to take him over. Accepting its situation, it keeps residing in Yūya, acting as a catalyst for him to tap into his inner dark side to channel the powers the Evils use without becoming truly evil. Unless it is needed, Kuro either "sleeps" or likes to make snide remarks at Yūya's expense.
- Ciel (シエル, Shieru)
- A young Luan fledgling meant to act as a celestial guide for Yūya. Its egg was sent to him after he has elevated to a special holy rank. Like a Phoenix, it rises again if killed, stronger than before, and can bestow this ability to its allies as well. It was named by Yūya after the French word for "sky" owing to its blue plumage.
- Stella (ステラ, Sutera)
- A white Dimension Cat that Yūya and Meiko encounter during a trip in the space of the Between World. Like any creature capable of existing in that place, she bears an innate Power of Existence, which is capable of injuring even beings with divine powers.

They are rescued by Yūya; however, leaving them in deep shame over their past behavior towards him.

After Yūya rescues her from a monster, she becomes infatuated with him and tries her best to win his affection, much to his bewilderment.

- Lord of Evil (イヴィル, Ivu~iru)
- The ultimate lord of the Evils who once fought Zenovis. During their climactic battle in the past, Evil suddenly switched places with Yūya when the Cult of Evil used one of Zenovis' own spells to bring the Lord of Evil into the present.

Upper Planes
[edit]- The Observers
- A pantheon of primordial divine beings who created most of the life in the universe.

One of them is defeated after Yūya, Yuti, Usagi, Iris and Odis are recruited and empowered by the Observers to destroy him, but while passing into the Underworld just before disspiating, it inadvertently destroys the barriers between the Underworld and the world of the living.
- The False Dragon
- The second of two Genesis Dragons who was originally aligned to the side of good, but because of Argena's need to balance good and evil (because one side cannot exist solely without the other), he fell to the dark side and became a servant of evil, earning him the titulation Sentinel of the False God.

- Meiko (メイコ)
- Meiko is a creature in the form of a black-haired human girl, born as the embodiment of all the malice from countless evil souls interred in the Underworld, but innocent and kind in her heart. Knowing the destructiveness of the power inside her, she willingly had herself sealed away. When the False God defeated by Yūya inadvertently disables the seals holding her in the Underworld, causing her power to go out of control, Yūya is asked by Reimei to restore the seal. But upon the suggestion of Yūnosuke Tenjō and Reimei, who are convinced that she means no harm, Yūya instead absorbs all the spiritual energy from her, thereby creating a soul link with her, and takes her into his household, where she has taken up the role of a servant.
- Ikkaku (一角)
- A blue-skinned oni and Reimei's chief servant.
The Between World
[edit]- Yin
- An outcast who was banished from his birthworld into the space of Between World, but survived thanks to his innate Power of Existence and found the power to control reality to some extend, usually for consuming existing worlds and creating new ones. He is also responsible for forcing an alternate version of Yūya - one who never levelled up but was taught the use of his innate spiritual power - into his servitude until the alternate Yūya sacrifices his life to save his other self. He has set his sights on consuming Yūya's Earth so he can create another world for him and his kind to live on. But when he tries to make Yūya his new pawn, Yūya instead drains the Power of Existence from him, weakening him to the point of fatal vulnerability.
- Veda
- Another outcast in the Between World, and Yin's cohort. After Yin's defeat, he is destroyed by Meiko and Stella.
Aliens
[edit]- Merl (メルル, Meruru)
- An extraterrestial girl who originates from the planet Amel, whose inhabitants are human-like but feature phosphorescent skin and hair, use memory-manipulating and nanotechnology, and are familiar with the concept of magic. She arrives on Earth looking for the blueprints for a weapon system, meant to fend off her people's ancient enemies, the Dragonians, in a digital storage unit, which Yūya's grandfather found and kept with his other artifacts and which Ōma unwittingly activated. Unfortunately, this also causes an invasion of the Dragonians against Earth, which prompts Merl to offer Yūya her assistence in return for him helping her people. After the invasion of Amel is thwarted, Merl enrols at Ōsei Academy at her father's bidding to get Yūya's genes, but she also genuinely falls in love with him, which makes her mission even more complicated.
- Draco III
- King of the Dragonians, an aggressive alien species and an ancient enemy of the Amelians who employ instant cloning to overwhelm their opponents with superior numbers.
- Drade
- Commander of the Dragonian army's Third Division.
- Marl (マール, Māru)
- Merl's father. After Yūya frees his planet from the besieging Dragonians, he intends for him to stay on their world to gain control of a giant golem the Sage had left near Amel in order to safeguard their world. Failing that, he tasks Merl with obtaining Yūya's genes by bearing his child.
Notes
[edit]- ^ In the original Japanese, the term 聖 (sei; "saint") is used for Argena's agents of good, while their counterparts use the word 邪 (jaa; "wicked" or "evil"). In the anime's translations, they are called "Divines" and "Viles" instead. For clarity, respective terms will be used here as per their media useage; in the character descriptions, the terms "Saints" and "Evils" will be used.
