D.Gray-man/Characters

A list of characters and character-related tropes from Katsura Hoshino's dark supernatural manga/anime series D.Gray-man.

This article is a work in progress.

Allen Walker


The 15-year-old protagonist of the series, Allen is a young man who was born with a deformed red left arm with a cross embedded in the hand. His biological parents abandoned him because of this, and Allen was taken in and raised by a man named Mana Walker. When Mana died, Allen was overcome with grief and the Millennium Earl appeared before him with the offer to bring Mana back from the dead. Allen accepted the offer and Mana's soul was trapped in the metal body of an akuma. Mana cursed Allen and tried to kill him to wear his skin, but it turns out that Allen's deformed arm is an Innocence, which then activated and destroyed Mana's akuma body. Allen was later taken under the wing of General Cross, who trained him how to be an "Exorcist" (a person who can use an Innocence to fight and destroy akuma). When the story begins, Allen is on his way to find the Black Order and join the organization.

Allen's Innocence is a "parasite-type", one of the rarest Innocences. Due to Mana's curse, Allen's left eye is branded with a pentacle. However, with this eye Allen is the only one who can see who is an akuma in a human skin, as well as being able to see the tortured soul trapped within. He is a cheerful, kind young man who loves everyone, and has made it his mission to release akuma-captured souls from their pain and suffering.

Allen's Innocence is called the. In early chapters, it starts as a massive claw; during the Ark Arc, it upgrades to.

""I have no idea. I'm just glad it doesn't rip.""
 * Art Evolution: His appearance has changed a lot over the course of the series, particularly in his evolution from cute little boy to Bishonen. Behold.
 * Badass: Anyone who can shout the name  with very little Narm counts.
 * Badass Adorable
 * Bandage Bishonen: His very effeminate figure in these scanty bandages have caused Stupid Sexy Flanders moments everywhere.
 * Bare Your Midriff: He's shown wearing sleeveless shirt like this during his stay at Asia branch.
 * Berserk Button: Mentioning General Cross' debt is a bad idea, as is calling him 'Beansprout'. The second mostly applies to Kanda, though.
 * BFG: At the end of the Ghost of Martel storyline.
 * BFS: Towards the end of the Ark storyline, thanks to Which strikingly looks exactly like
 * Big Damn Heroes: Because he's a protagonist of shounen series. But damn if these moments are not epic.
 * Big Eater: To a truly absurd degree. Justified, though-- Parasite Type Innocence uses a lot of calories.
 * Bishie Sparkle: He can actually exude bishie sparkles at will to manipulate people and get what he wants, most notably with Komurin (which is even more amazing, considering that it's a male robot).
 * Bishonen: He can actually be prettier than a lot of girls in the series.
 * He even looks pretty in CLOWN MAKEUP!
 * Break the Cutie: A severe case in his Backstory. After this, all that happened to him since doesn't seem strong enough to break him for good.
 * Broken Hero
 * Butt Monkey: Poor kid REALLY can't catch a break.
 * Can't Hold His Liquor: In the "Kuro no Bansankai" Special Drama CD, Allen shows his behavior when he gets drunk. He becomes very vicious and destructive, and causes massive property damage that he can't even remember doing.
 * Celibate Hero: In an omake "interview" with him, he claims to be this, saying that he has no time for such things.
 * The Charmer: If the aforementioned Bishie Sparkle incident is anything to go by, he could be if he wasn't so gosh-darned nice.
 * Chick Magnet: Little Miss Badass Road is smitten with Allen, which is awkward when you consider she's a Noah who once stabbed him in the eye For the Evulz. Rohfa also adores him. For is implied to have a bit of a crush on him. And then there's Lenalee...
 * Even the Guys Want Him: ...and Komurin III, Tyki Mikk, maybe Lavi, as well as Jeryy.
 * And it seems as though Tewaku may have developed a crush on him, if that little blush in Chapter 189 means anything...
 * Circus Brat: Emphasis on the "brat" part, at least prior to his adoption. But then, his life at the circus before Mana was unpleasant.
 * Creepy Cool Crosses: His Innocence and his Facial Markings.
 * Cross-Dressing Voices: In the anime, he is voiced by Sanae Kobayashi.
 * Only in Japanese. In English, he's voiced by Todd Haberkorn, who, horrifyingly enough, voiced The Earl from episodes 27 to 39.
 * Cute Shotaro Boy: Despite being older than most, the response of many female readers used to be: "Awwwwww.... so cuuuuute... I'm taking him home with me!!!!"
 * Mr. Fanservice: Now, the sentiment has changed to: "I want him to take me home with him!"
 * Cursed with Awesome: Literally. Mana's pentacle curse makes Allen the only Exorcist who can see akuma through their human disguises.
 * Detect Evil
 * Determinator
 * Enemy Within:.
 * Evil Eye: His left eye lets him see the souls of Akuma.
 * Eye Scream: Besides the way he acquired the curse and accompanying scars on his eye, there's also the time when Road was... having fun... and stabbed him in the eye with a candle.
 * Facial Markings.
 * Good Looking Privates: Let's face it: Allen looks gorgeous in uniform. His third, newer uniform fits well, since it's the most military-like.
 * Good Scars, Evil Scars: He has a scar through his left eye, which is part of the curse that allows him to see Akuma. And as of recently, he received a bunch of huge, deep scars across his entire chest from.
 * The Hero
 * Hero with Bad Publicity: Slowly going this way due to . It's recently culminated in.
 * Heroic BSOD: Twice. First after Suman Dark's demise, later after Lavi and Chaoji seemingly fell to their death.
 * Hilariously Abusive Childhood: His childhood under General Cross is played as this.
 * Hyperactive Metabolism: Directly Lampshaded and justified both in interviews with the mangaka and in-series. Apparently, Allen has no problems eating and digesting the gigantic towers of food he eats, since just simply activating his innocence burns a huge amount of calories.
 * Ideal Hero: When he's not cheating at poker, anyway.
 * Locked Into Strangeness: The cause of his white hair.'
 * Love You and Everybody: Fitting, given the fact he's The Messiah
 * Magic Pants: It doesn't matter if he turns his arm into a massive claw, a cannon, or ; his sleeve is always intact. Lampshaded in a Fourth Wall Mail Slot interview; when someone asked what happened to it, he replied:
 * Love You and Everybody: Fitting, given the fact he's The Messiah
 * Magic Pants: It doesn't matter if he turns his arm into a massive claw, a cannon, or ; his sleeve is always intact. Lampshaded in a Fourth Wall Mail Slot interview; when someone asked what happened to it, he replied:


 * The Messiah: Allen's goal is to purify akuma, not kill them entirely. He even cares about saving the Noah.
 * The Mirror Shows Your True Self: Not really straight example, because there's nothing weird with Allen's own appearance whenever he looks in the mirror. However, after Ark arc.
 * Moe Blob: As a kid, his 'moe' side really comes out in chapter 206.
 * Monster Clown: Interestingly played with. He's more like badass hero clown, and a monster to his enemies. All in all, you'd be hardpressed to find another protagonist with that description.
 * No Sense of Direction
 * Parental Abandonment: Abandoned by his parents, his adoptive father died, and his Trickster Mentor is a complete bastard who he's usually very, very happy to avoid.
 * Red Right Hand: Well, left hand, really...
 * Slasher Smile: Technically, it's
 * Sleep Cute: What he does with Lenalee here. Cue fangirls Squeeing.
 * The Soulsaver
 * Stepford Smiler: Some interpretations of his character. Allen tends to smile and throw out optimistic and enthusiastic support at the drop of a hat when around his friends, but whenever he's alone he tends to be either beating himself up, wallowing in some deserved self-pity, or worrying about his entire freaking existence.
 * Super-Powered Evil Side:
 * Tears of Blood: Allen reacts very badly with seeing Akuma destroyed with anything other than innocence. Since he sees the souls in agony, yet there's nothing he can do to save them.
 * Through His Stomach: The way to Allen's heart. In one instance, Miranda is unable to think of any way to cheer him up, only to offer him candy. He right away becomes ridiculously happy. Rohfa evidently caught on to this, as she apparently is trying to court him by bribing him with huge boxes of Mitarashi Dango. It does make him very happy, but apparently he's ignoring all the romantic implications suggested.
 * In a little "interview" with Allen in an omake, he pretty much directly Lampshades this, pondering that perhaps the only way that he would fall for a girl is if she cooked yummy food for him every day. Of course, he said it jokingly, and right afterwards, he claims he's a Celibate Hero who doesn't have time for romance.
 * Trauma Conga Line: The story of poor Allen's life, starting from long before the beginning of the series and shows no signs of stopping.
 * Tomato in the Mirror:
 * Unstoppable Rage: Let's just say Allen is NOT happy to see
 * Type 2, as shown in the third novel:
 * Might overlap with
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: Type 2 with Kanda. The 'buds' part is still debatable.
 * White Gloves: With hand like Allen's, it's no wonder he wears them.
 * White-Haired Pretty Boy: A subversion; white-haired bishonen he may be, but he's The Messiah.
 * Wide-Eyed Idealist
 * Wimpification: This frequently happens to him in fanfiction, when some writers focus on his cute little boy appearance and forget his actual personality.
 * You Can Barely Stand: He's been known to fight even when he can't stand, using his innocence to force his unconscious body to move.

Lenalee Lee
The 16-year-old sister of Black Order Supervisor Komui Lee, Lenalee is a powerful Exorcist. After her parents were killed by an akuma, she was found to be compatible with an Innocence at a young age, pretty much abducted by the Order and forced to synchronize with it. After nearly killing herself during several attempts to escape the Order, Lenalee is persuaded to stay when Komui joins to be near her. She is very kind, and fights not for the cause of the 'holy war' that the Black Order is fighting against the Millennium Earl, but for the safety of her family and friends.

Lenalee's Innocence is the Dark Boots. An equipment-type, they allow her to run faster than normal, jump great heights, and make her heels deadly weapons. They have recently upgraded to.

"Voiced by Shizuka Ito (JP), Luci Christian (EN)"


 * Action Girl
 * Alliterative Name
 * Armed Legs
 * Author Appeal: Hoshino mentions in one of the early volumes how Lenalee is her ideal. She's also based on a real person.
 * Badass: Probably one of the biggest female badasses in anime.
 * The Chick: Subverted, as while sweet and feminine, she's quite the Action Girl.
 * Chinese Girl: at least ethnically-wise, according to the manual.
 * Close-Call Haircut: Lenalee's fight with the first L3 akuma shown in the series gives her one of these, combining it with Important Haircut as she discovers the depths of her resolve.
 * Combat Stilettos: The Dark Boots. They start out as thicker high heels, but after  they become stilettos.
 * Dance Battler: Well, her Innocence is a pair of boots.
 * Zettai Ryouiki: Given that the Dark Boots are Thigh-High Boots, Lenalee makes Grade B or Grade A easily. When not in combat, she still shows truly staggering amounts of leg.
 * Dangerously-Short Skirt: Try to look futher, and Komui will kick your ass. If he isn't around and you try it again, she'll kick your ass instead.
 * Demoted to Extra: Suffers from this a little bit.
 * Dude Magnet: She is clearly Allen's counterpart in that domain (although it doesn't seem Even the Girls Want Her). Allen probably likes her more than just a little, Lavi says he is totally interested in her, Bak is… well, Bak, Cross blantantly hits on her once, Regory Peck apparently did it several times, and Li Kei falls in Love At First Sight. And there is Komui's behaviour…
 * Go-Go Enslavement: Road once dresses her up in an Elegant Gothic Lolita-style burgundy gown and changes her Girlish Pigtails into Mega Twintails.
 * Girlish Pigtails
 * In a Single Bound
 * Kick Chick: She's practically this trope personifed, due to her fighting style. Which implies...
 * Magic Skirt: Despite said fighting style, there hasn't been one single Panty Shot. That doesn't prevent her from being...
 * Ms. Fanservice: HELLO, LEGS...!
 * Lady of War: She's feminine and softspoken, and she's always graceful in battle.
 * Lightning Bruiser: Of the "hard-hitting speedster" variety.
 * The Messiah. Subverted: she is a kind person, but mostly towards the people she's close to. And she's painfully aware of it.
 * Nakama: Lenalee's reason for fighting.
 * Plucky Girl
 * Purple Eyes
 * Raven Hair, Ivory Skin
 * Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Is strongly implied to be attracted to Allen. Not that we can blame her, of course.
 * Sleep Cute: What she does with Allen here. Cue Squeeing.
 * Spell My Name with an "S": Hers gets wrongly romanized to everything from Linali Li to Rinari Ri.
 * Stepford Smiler: Under her sunny exterior,
 * Taking You with Me: Pulled this as her last resort in fight with level 3 Akuma establishing her Badass status forever. She doesn't die, thanks to her Innocence, but was fully prepared to.
 * Thigh-High Boots
 * Traumatic Haircut: See also Close-Call Haircut.
 * Tricked-Out Shoes: The Dark Boots.
 * Walk On Water: With her Innocence activated, she can do this.
 * Woman in Black: Subverted in terms of personality.
 * Yamato Nadeshiko: At one point someone new to headquarters tries to yell at the Science Division for having an Exorcist serve them coffee. Someone has to explain that Lenalee just does it because she likes to.
 * Yaoi Fangirl: She looks awfully fascinated when she sees Lavi hugging Allen at one point.
 * You Gotta Have Green Hair: But it's only green in the anime. In the manga her hair is specifically stated to be black, despite sometimes being drawn as green, blue or purple in the colour art.
 * Yaoi Fangirl: She looks awfully fascinated when she sees Lavi hugging Allen at one point.
 * You Gotta Have Green Hair: But it's only green in the anime. In the manga her hair is specifically stated to be black, despite sometimes being drawn as green, blue or purple in the colour art.

Lavi


A mysterious young man set to become the next Bookman, a historian who records the secret wars that shape the world. Originally sent to the Black Order solely to document the war between Exorcists and akuma, Lavi finds himself becoming more and more attached to his fellow Exorcists.

Lavi's Innocence is Tettsui, or Iron Hammer. It is capable of extending and expanding to massive sizes; Lavi uses the head as a platform to travel on. Lavi can also harness elemental powers through Tettsui with various 'seals'. Unlike other Exorcists in the main cast, Lavi has yet to defeat Akuma that's above level 2. He isn't very strong fighter likely because of his need to keep distance from his Innocence, but it's been shown that he's quite competent fighter barehanded. Apparently he also knows how to use a knife.

"Voiced by Kenichi Suzumura (JP), Jason Liebrecht: Episodes 13-26 and Episode 40 onward & Chris Patton: Episodes 27 to 39 (EN)"

""Let's be frivolous and friendly like always.""
 * Adorkable
 * Ahoge: During his early appearances in manga he sported one like this, but after a while it wasn't drawn again.
 * Art Evolution: Compare this to the picture above. Slight difference, no? To be fair, Hoshino most likely just got accustomed to drawing him, but still.
 * Badass: Hey, he kicks a lot of ass with his hammer.
 * Badass Bookworm: His favourite hobbies are reading and sleeping. So yes, he likely qualifies.
 * Becoming the Mask: Originally, Lavi was not intended to feel attached to the Black Order. During the Ark Arc, Lavi must defeat  to break free of an illusion cast by Road.
 * Calling Your Attacks: Lavi's hammer uses elemental seals, which he has to activate with a short incantation.
 * Chivalrous Pervert
 * Conflicting Loyalty: Between the Black Order and his duties as a Bookman.
 * Demoted to Extra: After Destruction of Black Order his appearances have grow less and less frequent. And then he kind of disappears from sight altogether for two story arcs.
 * Dude in Distress: Variation, as he's not completely helpless when put in such situation (the fight with Road). But now, as of chapter 202, he's . Lavi has also been in a few near-death situations during fights with Akuma so his fellow exorcists have often saved his life. Most notable is one time when he got shot on the neck and Krory sucked the Akuma poison out of him.
 * Dull Eyes of Unhappiness:  during the Ark arc.
 * Drop the Hammer
 * Elemental Powers: He uses seals to control several elements, such as fire and lightning.
 * Eyepatch of Power: Lavi's right eye is covered by a standard black eyepatch. The reason has yet to be unrevealed, although in the second Reverse novel, he tells Colette it isn't there because of an injury when she asks him about it. According to Lavi's narration, it's subject that he really doesn't wish to talk, let alone think about.
 * Green Eyes
 * Green Eyed Red Head
 * Keet
 * Jade-Colored Glasses: Lavi was excited with the idea that he would know and see things no one else did when he had just become Bookman's apprentice. After ten years of watching meaningless wars and bloodshed between people his opinion of humans lowered to considerable level. But as the series goes on, he starts to regain that hope on humanity as he sees how people are fighting for their True Companions around him. Doesn't stop him from disapproving news about declared wars though.
 * Lolicon / Likes Older Women: In the Komui's Discussion Room Vol. 7 omake he says he mostly goes for women between 10 and 40, and in the Black Dinner Party drama CD, while drunk he reveals that it's his 'strike range'. In both the omake and the drama CD, he says that his favourite type of woman is widows.
 * Mr. Fanservice
 * The Nicknamer: He calls Bookman "Panda", Krory "Krorykins" ("Kro-chan"), Link "Two-spot"(Or pimple-face, depending on translation), asks Allen if he can call him "Beansprout", and names a converted Akuma "Chomesuke".
 * No Name Given: Lavi's original name - or even a surname for his current name, if one even exists - has yet to be told.
 * No Sense of Personal Space
 * Obfuscating Stupidity: What he says to Bookman after they arrive to Black Order implies that at least part of his actions are just acting.


 * Photographic Memory
 * Playing with Fire: The elemental seal he uses the most often is a huge snake made of fire.
 * Redheaded Hero
 * The Smart Guy
 * Spell My Name with an "S": Is it Lavi, Ravi, Rabi, or Labi? Oh dear...
 * Word of God is that it's Lavi.
 * His 48th alias/Bookman personality/whatever it is gets this treatment as well. The name he's called most often among fans is "Deak", but as the name was used only once and katakana read "Dikku", fans have made billion different versions of it. Japanese fandom doesn't have this problem, they just call him Dick.
 * Stepford Smiler: This was the kind of guy he was before joining the Order and becoming friends with Allen and fellow exorcists. Acting friendly helps a lot with gathering information, no matter what you might think of them in reality after all.
 * This is also lampshaded in Reverse novel 2 where it's mentioned that when he first came to Order one Finder (Doug) refused to talk with Lavi because he saw through his smiles and eyes- that it was all so fake and that they only reflected people's own around him. As Reverse novel 2 is set before actual series' events, he gets better over the time.
 * Talking to Himself: He has the same English voice actor as the Millennium Earl.
 * According to The Other Wiki, he was voiced by Chris Patton in episodes 27 and 28, and went back to his original actor in episode 40. Some fans wonder what was with all that?
 * What Could Have Been: Lavi was originally intended to be main character for the series called "BOOK-MAN", a project which never reached beyond the planning stages. Still, the author wanted to use him and Bookman so they made it into D.Gray-man as side characters instead.

Yu Kanda


A cold and aloof swordsman from Japan. Kanda is an extremely efficient Exorcist who prefers to work alone, though he is nominally under General Tiedoll's command. He has a tattoo of a strange rune on his left pectoral. As of Chapter 186,

Kanda's Innocence is Mugen, a black-bladed katana that allows him to use several 'Illusions' in combat. These range from an eight-sided slash similar to the Kuzu Ryu Sen to a second blade made of Innocence energy. Now it upgraded to

"Voiced by Takahiro Sakurai (JP), Travis Willingham (EN)"

""Hey. If you ever use my first name again, I'll kill you.""
 * Anti-Hero: Type III on the surface, more of a Type II deep down. He seems pragmatic, saying he'll leave his teammates behind if they become a burden to the mission, but he does the right thing more often than not.
 * The Atoner:
 * Art Evolution: Probably the most dramatic example after Allen. After introducing Kanda, Hoshino complained that it's hard to draw good-looking people. Clearly, it isn't, anymore.
 * Badass: As Lavi once commented "He's too manly!"
 * There's also the fact that he's only character in the series so far to
 * Badass Long Hair
 * Berserk Button: Calling him by his first name, Yu, is not the best of ideas.
 * A very literal case since
 * Broken Base: nobody seems to be able to pinpoint what exactly his more or less Canon platonic relationship with  makes of him.
 * Bishonen/Long-Haired Pretty Boy
 * Byronic Hero: He's cynical and brooding, has a painful past, and definitely fits the physical description of the trope.
 * Clothing Damage: His whole shirt is blown off during his fight with Skinn Bolic.
 * Dark and Troubled Past: Boy howdy,
 * For those who don't want to read the above spoiler, let's put it this way -- Kanda's past is so bad that using an Exposition Beam to show it to someone qualifies as Mind Rape. Even Road was horrified by it.
 * Death Glare: Oh, so often.
 * Clothing Damage: His whole shirt is blown off during his fight with Skinn Bolic.
 * Dark and Troubled Past: Boy howdy,
 * For those who don't want to read the above spoiler, let's put it this way -- Kanda's past is so bad that using an Exposition Beam to show it to someone qualifies as Mind Rape. Even Road was horrified by it.
 * Death Glare: Oh, so often.


 * Dual-Wielding: One of his attacks.
 * Embarrassing First Name: We don't know why he hates it so much, but he very clearly does.
 * It's the name So I'm guessing he doesn't want to be reminded of that fact.
 * There also the fact that the characters speak English, so hearing "hey, Yū!" when called by your first name can be quite embarassing…
 * Every Japanese Sword Is a Katana: Averted. Kanda's blade, Mugen, is originally a chojiro, a straighter sword than the traditional katana. It's reforged into a katana after.
 * Freudian Excuse: Let's just say he had a nasty childhood and leave it at that.
 * Good Is Not Nice
 * Hates Being Touched
 * Healing Factor: He can heal himself, but it drains away some of his life force.
 * I Was Just Passing Through: Despite saying he won't save his teammates if they get themselves into trouble, he often does. Then denies he was helping them.
 * I Will Find You: Spends most of the series looking for "a certain person", who turns out to be.
 * If It's You It's Okay: Probably his attitude towards after he learns the truth about him.
 * Jerkass
 * Jerkass Dissonance: See below, Mr. Fanservice.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Jerk or Jerk with a Heart of Gold? It's debatable, although canon seems to have settled on the latter one with the arc dealing with his past. A heart of gold that's buried deep down beneath layers of jerkassery and indifference, but heart of gold nevertheless.
 * Considering the latest chapter, it's Jerk with a Heart of Gold.
 * The Lancer
 * Mr. Fanservice: The biggest one after Allen. And a recent arc has revealed that there's a good reason why he's such a jerk, which is likely to make him even more fangirl-tastic.
 * Dead Little, actually.
 * Perpetual Frowner: 200 chapters and he wasn't seen cheerful even one. The only times he's ever even smirked have been during battle, and he doesn't exactly look friendly then. What's weirder he doesn't show any signs of Wangst (and is in fact annoyed by people who do). He just seems to be always angry.
 * To exemplify it, he's probably the only person in the entire order who gets annoyed by Lenalee's company. And she's probably the closest he has to childhood friend since they both were living in order since they were kids.
 * He smiled exactly once in 200 chapters. He has a nice smile.
 * He technically also smiled here.
 * The most sincere and peaceful smile we see of him is probably that one.
 * Pet the Dog: He does have quite a few redeeming moments of kindness towards his teammates, especially when it comes to Lenalee.
 * Or
 * Power Tattoo
 * Put on a Bus -> The Bus Came Back: Twice.
 * Serious Business: Do not mess with Kanda's hair tie:
 * When Bookman Sr. stole his hair tie, he fought his way through the entire order to find out who took it.
 * Even during battle he's gone out of his way to grab just so he could take one of her ribbons to tie his hair back up with it.
 * Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids: He thinks Allen is much too naive, and doesn't hesitate to tell him this.
 * Shirtless Scene: When he receives Clothing Damage from Skinn Bolic, Kanda spends the chapters afterwards with no shirt.
 * Slipknot Ponytail: Almost all of Kanda's battles so far have had his hair fall out of his ponytail, though the most notable is his fight against Skinn. Others include when he was injured by the level 2 akuma during the Ghost of Martel Arc and when the Earl leveled Edo.
 * The Stoic: His emotional range appears to go from "apathetic" to "pissed off."
 * But this breaks down during the Alma arc. In so many ways.
 * Sugar and Ice Guy: As in 99% "ice" and 1% "sugar". He saves the latter side for.
 * Super Soldier:
 * Tall, Dark and Snarky: Minus the charisma and Instant Fanclub, even the one minor character who initially fangirls him is annoyed by his attitude.
 * Trademark Favourite Food: Soba noodles.
 * Troubled but Cute
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: Type 2 with Allen. The 'buds' part is still debatable.
 * Its far more clear a Type 2 with Lavi, both snark at each other but Kanda has no problem in behaving respectfully towards Lavi and going Back-to-Back Badasses with the other when needeed
 * When He Smiles: In recent chapters, Kanda has been smiling quite a lot, and it really changes the way he looks. However, he's been known to smile while saying very sad things such as "This regret simply won't let me die in peace," so it's also entirely possible that he has gone straight from Perpetual Frowner to Stepford Smiler.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: It's blue in the anime, and some coloured arts. Even purple at times. However, it's officially stated to be black, and the author has admitted at some point that the different colours are just the result of her and/or editor fooling around.

Arystar Krory


A vampire-like exorcist from Romania. After he gained his Innocence, he instinctively attacked and drained the blood of Akuma, causing the villagers to believe he was a vampire. The only person who accepted him was a girl named Eliade,

Krory's Innocence is his teeth. When activated, he can drink the blood of Akuma, which has no negative effects on him since a parasitic-type Innocence can break down the blood virus. Akuma blood allows him to heal quickly, and boosts his speed and strength. During the Ark arc,

""I live only for the pleasure of theil kl!""
 * Actually Not a Vampire
 * The Big Guy
 * Blood Knight: His other side is very much this trope.


 * Bloody Murder
 * Horrible Judge of Character: He is way too trusting.
 * Interrupted Suicide: After, Krory feels that he has no reason or right to continue living anymore. So he provokes his carnivorous flowers and soon he, Allen and Lavi are all in mouth of one. It's Allen who snaps him out of it, telling Krory that if he becomes Exorcist everything would've been for greater good and   would have a purpose.
 * Misunderstood Loner with a Heart of Gold: He had tried making friends with the villagers in the past, only to have them shout at him, threating to stab a stake through his heart. Then his Innocence activated and his reputation got worse. Before meeting Eliade the only company he had were his grandfather's man eating flowers.
 * Naive Newcomer: He was secluded for so long that he knows very little about the outside world.
 * Our Vampires Are Different: Subverted, as he's not really a vampire.
 * Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette
 * Put on a Bus: After his fight against, he's so exhausted that he spends almost all the subsequent arc in bed, unconscious. He made very few appearances since his awakening.
 * Skunk Stripe
 * Spell My Name with an "S": Bizarrely, considering that he's named after a real person.
 * Split Personality: When he activates his Innocence, he goes from shy and gentle to cocky and aggressive.
 * Suck Out the Poison: He can suck out Akuma poison from others if he drinks the victims's blood.
 * Tuckerization: He is named after Aleister Crowley.
 * What Have I Become?: At first, he had no idea that the people he was attacking were Akuma, and he believed himself to be a monster.

Miranda Lotto


A shy, clumsy and insecure German woman who was the subject of ridicule in her hometown due to her inability to hold down a job. She has been fired from over 100 jobs, and often feels useless because of this. When her clock caused the same day to repeat over and over in her town after she connected with Innocence inside it, Allen and Lenalee helped her to revert the time flow to normal. She joined the Black Order soon afterwards, determined to be a useful exorcist.

Miranda's Innocence is the Time Record, which she can use to heal people and repair broken objects by reversing time. However, when she deactivates her power, the damage returns. Her Innocence also allows her to create a barrier of frozen time, negating attacks.

"Voiced by Megumi Toyoguchi (JP), Colleen Clinkenbeard (EN)"


 * Adrenaline Makeover: Subverted. After finishing her training, she makes her grand entrance wearing a tight black leather uniform that's quite a change from the demure outfits she usually wears. Then she trips up. And shortly after that, she freaks out and has a frantic apologising fit over doing something right, which shows she hasn't changed at all.
 * Apologises a Lot: Doesn't she just.

 * Butt Monkey: She starts out as this.

 * Determined Defeatist: This says it all: "Even when I said I wouldn't try anymore, I kept on trying anyway."

"Voiced by Takeshi Aono (JP), R. Bruce Elliott (EN)"

"Voiced by Mamoru Miyano (JP)"

Tropes associated with Chaozii Han

 * Anime Hair: once he unties his ponytail.

 * The Scrappy: Poor guy gets the short end of the stick in appeal to fans

Alma Karma


Yu Kanda's childhood friend and thus. In Kanda's flashbacks, he's shown as cheerful, a bit silly, optimistic boy who talks a lot (too much in Kanda's opinion) and who's big fan of mayonnaise. They didn't really get along at first, but after some Bloody Hilarious moments they became friends. Apparently enduring everything became little easier for them after that...up to certain point.

There's not much that can be said about Alma without spoiling some really major things, since he's very important character regarding Kanda. He doesn't appear in the anime.


 * Big Ol' Eyebrows: Look at that picture. Considering how other characters' eyebrows look like they were plucked, his really stand out.
 * Break the Cutie
 * Cheerful Child
 * Convenient Coma

 * Go Mad From the Revelation: When he discovers the "Second Exorcist" process.

 * Power Tattoo
 * Super Soldier
 * Triple subversion.

Exorcist Generals

 * Note that all of the generals qualify for Four-Star Badass and Asskicking Equals Authority.

Cross Marian


Allen's Trickster Mentor, one of the five Generals, and an incredible Badass. He has a rather sociopathic habit of racking up enormous amounts of debt and weaseling out of paying it, usually by foisting it off on Allen instead. He also doesn't especially like the rules the rest of the Order wants him to follow, and stays far away from headquarters as much as possible just because he's contrary. However, he's not a complete Jerkass; he does care for Allen (albeit in what is often a really twisted way) and he's made himself an incredible pain to the Earl in the course of Walking the Earth, such that he had Jasdevi sent after him. He left them a $10,000 debt to pay.

His Innocence is a gun called Judgment, and he kicks ridiculous amounts of ass with it. He also controls an undead woman with parasite-type Innocence called Grave of Maria, and has a so-far-unexplained ability to turn Akuma good.

 * Redheaded Hero: For a given value of "hero."
 * Revolvers Are Just Better
 * Sociopathic Hero
 * Sleep Cute: Pulls one off in chapter 206.
 * Smoking Is Cool: Boy, is it ever.

 * Jerkass: "Bunch of losers. I have nothing to say to them." He's talking about his team.
 * Mask Power: At until he removed it and hasn't worn it since. And it was a creepy one too.

One of the generals who. He was a school teacher before he became a general.

"Voiced by Kiyoshi Kawakubo (JP), Bill Jenkins (EN)"

 * Bishounen: In Lenalee's flashbacks to the period before she became an exoricst he's shown to be quite the looker.

 * Bunny Ears Lawyer: He can be pretty competent when push comes to shove.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: With all those wacky inventions and his tendency to drift into his own little world, it's safe to say he's at least a mild version of this.
 * Heavy Sleeper: The only way to wake him is to say Lenalee's getting married.
 * Knight Templar Big Brother: Oh good lord, so much. Mostly played for laughs.
 * Mad Scientist
 * Must Have Caffeine: And how. Doesn't stop him constantly falling asleep over his paperwork though.
 * Nice Hat
 * Promotion to Parent: He and Lenalee lost their parents to Akuma.
 * Reasonable Authority Figure: Unlike most of the Black Order, he genuinely cares about the Exorcists.
 * Ridiculously Human Robot: His latest creation Komulin EX is a tad bit too emotive for a machine. Allen of all people, takes advantage of this…
 * Running Gag: His robots and other Mad Scientist whatnots going berserk.
 * Also being woken up by the quote "Lenalee's getting married." It never fails.
 * Trash of the Titans: His perpetually messy office.
 * And by "perpetually messy," we mean that you can't see the floor for all the papers on it, save for a path cleared to the desk. On said desk, the papers are generally piled so high that you can't see Komui behind them.

Reever Wenham


The long suffering section chief of the science devision. He likes soda and dislikes cigarettes and alcohol. Since he works for Komui, his entire division is incredibly overworked.

 * Nerd Glasses
 * Non-Action Guy
 * Say My Name: Spends a good deal of the Alma Karma Arc screaming Allen's name dramatically.
 * The Scrappy: for his complete irrelevance despite constantly appearing (tough hopefully that may be on its way to change) and for being generally a crybaby.
 * Took a Level In Badass: From the pinnacle of uselessness to

 * Unfortunate Names: Sorry dude, but seriously...
 * Unfortunate Names: Sorry dude, but seriously...

Bak Chang


The Director of Asia branch. Also one of the few higher positioned Black Order members who actually get along with Allen, as Bak has shown great deal of concern for his wellbeing. He's compassionate -if a bit egoistical- man who. Despite his (relatively) harmless habit of stalking Lenalee, Bak seems to be friends with Komui. It might have something to do with that they both care about exorcists and think that they're more than just tools for Black Order to use.

"Voiced by Shinichiro Miki (JP)"


 * Bishounen
 * Blue Eyes
 * Character Tics: Breaking out in hives whenever he's nervous or flustered.

 * Uncanny Family Resemblance: He looks almost exactly like his father Edgar.

Rohfa
A 18 year old trainee in the Asian branch, who is always hanging out with Li Kei and Shifu. Was severely lovestruck when meeting Allen and hasn't got better since then.

"Voiced by Maaya Sakamoto (JP)"


 * Blind Without Them
 * Love At First Sight: Ouch.
 * Spell My Name with an "S": She is Chinese, so combined to the anime's pronounciation the most logical transcription for her name (蝋花) would be "Là Hua" but Rohfa is by far the most common spelling among fans. For some reason the French edition of the manga writes it Zhà Hua.
 * Through His Stomach: How she tries to get Allen's attention. It works… more or less.

For


The temperamental guardian of Asia branch. . Since she is actually a spirit, For can maintain physical form for only some period of time. So when she gets tired, her body becomes transparent as well.

 * Bare Your Midriff
 * Fiery Redhead
 * Older Than They Look
 * Much, much older.

 * Tsundere
 * Voluntary Shapeshifting: Uses this to turn her arms into blades, or take on the appearance of other people.

Lenny Epstein
Head of the North-American branch. Her family, along with that of Bak


 * Amazonian Beauty: A mild example. She is 180cm tall and her hobby is bodybuilding according to the databook. So she appears to be pretty muscular, at least until…
 * Art Evolution: When she appeared (volume 14). Just before the year-long hiatus (volume 19). After the hiatus (ditto). In only 5 volumes she has changed quite a bit.
 * Hot Scientist: Pretty in Mink too!

Malcom C. Lvellie
Inspector General for the Vatican and member of a family that served the Black Order since its foundation. Very astride on the rules, he will do absolutely anything to win the war against the Earl and imposes harsh restrictions on Allen out of suspicion

"Voiced by Ryusuke Oobayashi (JP)"

-


 * Does This Remind You of Anything?: His personnality is harsh enough, but with his moustache, it's hard not to think about… someone else.
 * Guinea Pig Family: One of the reasons his family is so influential within the Order. Not that he is particularly happy about it.
 * Large and In Charge: Although he too is obeying orders from above, he still has a high position. He is also stated to be 195cm tall and nearly 100kg. That makes for quite a formidable figure.
 * Mood Whiplash: Hello, Lenalee, we haven't seen each other since I traumatized you. You are so terrified you can't even talk… but anyway, I made delicious pastries, who wants some!
 * Not So Different: Lvellie seems to hate the Innocence and/or the Order, what makes him uncannily similar to Lenalee.
 * Spell My Name with an "S": Lvellie? Levellier? Luberier? Who knows?
 * Supreme Chef: His pastries are famously delicious and he even wrote a book on the topic. Allen would probably be fond of these if they weren't made by the guy who put him under surveillance and suspected him of heresy.
 * Take a Third Option: He states that his main motivation is . He seems kinda creepy when he says it, so it could be all lies or psychotic delusions.
 * Well-Intentioned Extremist: A possible interpretation of his character.
 * Wham! Line:
 * Wild Card: . This requires him to actually physically protect Allen.
 * Wild Card: . This requires him to actually physically protect Allen.

 * Hidden Badass
 * Real Men Wear Pink: A more mild example, he is quite the baker.
 * Smart People Play Chess
 * The Stoic
 * Sugar and Ice Personality

Third Exorcist Program

 * Action Girl: Kiredori and Tewaku
 * Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Goushi. When the Alma cells started to take over his body, he begged for Lenalee to save him. It turns out to be Mercy Kill in her part.
 * An Arm and a Leg: Tokusa looses both arms to Tykki in a confrontation.
 * Anti-Hero: Each of them is considearbly more ruthless that most of the already seen Exorcists.
 * Badass: All of them. Or supposed to be. Some of them fall short on the hype however. Madarao, however, is extremely so.
 * Badass Long Robe: Part of their uniform. The rest consists of a Sarashi and a Nice Hat.
 * The Big Guy: Goushi
 * Blood Knight: Tokusa seems to revel in his abilities in a way the others don’t.
 * Body Horror: When Alma's cells start taking control over their bodies, they deform quite grotesquely and extremely painfully.
 * Brainwashed and Crazy: Tokusa’s attack on Allen while under the control of the effect of Alma’s cells.
 * Cannibalism Superpower: They have the ability to transforms their left arm, causing the flesh to part away and reveal a core of Dark Matter within their forearm and a hole in their palm, through which they can create a vortex that resembles a black hole. This can be used to absorb an Akuma directly, or to spread a dark, shadowy quagmire across the ground which will swallow up any Akuma in the vicinity.
 * Creepy Child: Kiredori. It’s not intentional and definitely not of her own volition.
 * Deadpan Snarker: Tokusa
 * Emotionless Girl: Kiredori. Tewaku as well at times.
 * Eyes Always Shut: Not always, but Tokusa is pretty close.
 * Face Heel Turn: It really depends on how much it was voluntary, but seem to have joined forces with the Noah. The three aid Tykki and Road in freeing Allen from prison.
 * Facial Markings: Their eye makeup and the dots on their foreheads.
 * Hellish Pupils: Kiredori
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Tokusa had shades of it.
 * The Stoic and The Quiet One: Goushi and Madarao.
 * Sugar and Ice Personality: Tewaku has shades of it
 * Super Soldiers
 * Mercy Kill: Goushi by Lenalee, Kiredori by Socalo (believe it or not).
 * Number Two: Either Tokusa or Tewaku.
 * The Woobie: All of them, in hindsight. Goushi, Kiredori, Tewaku and Madarao are more of the Stoic Woobie, Tokusa is arguably a Jerkass Woobie.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Green in Tokusa’s case, and blue in Madarao's.

The Earl of Millennium


The Big Bad of the series, the Earl of Millennium (mostly known as the Millennium Earl to Western fans) doesn't look very dangerous due to his cartoonish appearance and cheerful attitude. However, looks are deceiving and this guy is responsible for the death of millions because of his Akuma.

He usually appears before a person grieving the loss of a loved one and politely offers to bring back the deceased back to life. If the offer is accepted, however, the Earl imprisons the soul in a ominous-looking black metal skeleton. The captured soul will then usually berate and curse the person who agreed to the deal...until the Earl completely takes control of the new Akuma and orders him/her to kill the other and wear their skin as a human disguise. Only Allen's cursed eye is able to see who's really an Akuma in a skin.

"Voiced by Junpei Takiguchi (JP), Jason Liebrecht Episodes 1-26 and Episode 40 onward & Todd Haberkorn Episodes 27-39 (EN)"


 * Acrofatic
 * Affably Evil: He has a very cheery attitude and his interactions with the Noahs often resemble those of a friendly uncle.
 * Attention Whore: In chapter 188, Road and Wisely are seen commenting on the Earl's need to always be the centre of attention.
 * BFS: His main weapon of choice.
 * Big Bad Ensemble: One of the top villains in the series, but he's losing ground to the 14th and Apocryphos.
 * Bishonen Line: his real form is much more pleasant to the eye than the way we normally see him, to say the least.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: always.
 * Deal with the Devil: Those who accept his offer to "bring back a loved one" do not end well...
 * Evil Is One Big Happy Family: Yeah, he might be utterly insane  but he's also a genuinely jolly old fellow who loves his family. His Person of Mass Destruction family, but his family nonetheless.

 * Technically a Smile
 * Spell My Name with a "The"

Tyki Mikk


One of the first Noah we meet, who is perpetually surrounded by a cloud of butterflies. The author admitted to creating him just because she wanted another really handsome guy to draw, and it shows. He is the Noah of Pleasure and originally lived as a homeless worker with his normal human friends while sometimes going back home to the Earl to do jobs (mainly killing people) because he thought it was fun. At the end of the Ark Arc, he was temporarily controlled by his Noah, which resulted in some new scars and long hair. Despite it being said that his Noah has 'awakened', the only significant change to his personality seems to be being very very cheerful around the hero.

"Voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa (JP), Brad Hawkins (EN)"


 * Affably Evil: Hey, he's a pretty polite guy for someone who's supporting the Endofthe World As We Know It.
 * Author Appeal: See the character description above. He's not unpopular among fans either.
 * Ax Crazy
 * Badass
 * Badass Long Hair: He wants to cut it, though.
 * Beat Still My Heart: How he usually uses his Intangible Man powers.
 * Beauty Mark: Underneath his left eye
 * Bishonen
 * Body Horror: He inflicted this on Allen, and
 * Butterfly of Death and Rebirth: The Tease (Teez? Teaz? Tese?) he carries around with him.
 * Evil Feels Good
 * Foe Yay / Ho Yay: He really, really likes Allen. "Don't be so cold, boy. An Exorcist made a Noah strip down to his underwear. Was that the first time you did it? Do you think it was destiny for it to be us?" Riiiight...
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: In english he's voiced by.. Ryan Steele!?
 * Intangible Man: He can choose what he wants to touch.
 * Like Brother and Sister: All the Noah are family, but Tyki and Road in particular seem to treat each other like actual siblings (although, being The Tease, he has mock-flirted with her at least once) and seem to hang out on and off the job more than the others.
 * Mr. Fanservice: Hey, the author herself wanted to make another handsome guy, so she made him.
 * One-Winged Angel: And a scary one at that.
 * Painted-On Pants: In his Noah outfit.
 * Scars Are Forever: He has massive scars across his chest from his fight with Allen in the Ark.
 * Slasher Smile: The last thing you see before Tyki pulls your heart out without leaving a mark on your outer body is this.
 * Smoking Is Cool
 * Super-Powered Evil Side: A really terrifying knight with insect-like tentacles
 * Tall, Dark and Handsome
 * He can also get pretty snarky.
 * The Tease: Wait...
 * Walk On Water: His selective interaction ability allows him to do this.

Road Kamelot


The first Noah ever encountered by Allen, she has the appearance of a small girl with spiky black hair. However, she is called the oldest Noah by other members of the family, implying that she was the first to awaken as one. Road is the Noah of Dreams, allowing her to travel between dimensions and control the Ark. She was shown to have survived, and cannot be harmed by physical attacks unless they are inflicted from inside of her dreamworld.

"Voiced by Ai Shimizu (JP), Cherami Leigh (EN)"


 * Affably Evil: She seems like a sweet girl around the Noah, who has a thing for lolipops and once asked Tyki to help her with her homework... she also caused a Akuma to self-destruct just to piss off Allen.
 * Ax Crazy
 * Badass
 * Character Development: Interestingly, while she remains a Noah and averts Villain Decay, she seems to behave a little less sinister each time Allen meets her.  Her attraction to and concern for Allen appears to be the cause of her decreasingly antagonistic behavior, so it's likely she'd still be pretty scary if she was dealing with anyone but Allen.
 * Creepy Child
 * Creepy Doll: In chapters 187 and 188,.
 * Daddy's Little Villain: Her relationship with the Millennium Earl is a perfect example of this trope.
 * Dark Action Girl
 * Dating Catwoman: What she'd certainly like to have with Allen.
 * Deliberately Cute Child: She can fake being a cute little girl quite easily. Her human adoptive mother appears to be completely oblivious to Road's darker side. Then again, she's married to Sherril...
 * Elegant Gothic Lolita
 * Even Evil Has Loved Ones: She cares really deeply for her family. Also Allen,
 * Even Evil Has Standards:
 * Fan Service Pack: Compare Road's initial appearance to how she looks now. Slight difference, no?
 * Rumour is that because Road's initial design led to so many questions from readers about whether she was male or female, Hoshino decided to make it more obvious.
 * Finger-Lickin' Evil: Technically, she was licking one of her candles, but the effect was there.
 * There is a straighter example though…
 * Foe Yay: She kissed Allen and claims to love him.
 * Though this could be more to do with the 14th than Allen. It's never explained why
 * That's probably was simply
 * For the Evulz: Why she's willing to create a door that would allowing the exorcists trapped inside of the arc to escape, but the only way they can get to it is if they battle the Noah who are also inside of it. Really the only reason the others do it too. And she decided that messing with Allen would be more fun than others, that's why she chose him.

The 14th


A man who's shrouded in mystery. The 14th Noah. The only facts known about him so far are that he backstabbed his own family 35 years ago, killed almost all of them, failed with his biggest goal and was forced flee from Millennium Earl with his brother for years. Timcanpy was originally his golem and it's mentioned that he had given it to Cross with a request to take care of his brother, because he would someday return. .

Presumably he's taking into account the general info and handful of appearances he's had. That, and the fact that Earl is still sore for his killing attempt, as 14th was his favourite among the Noahs.


 * Ax Crazy
 * Big Bad Ensemble: He's out for blood against the Earl and he doesn't care about Apocryphos, but he's easily Allen's most personal antagonist.
 * Chekhov's Gunman: Makes his first appearance during 59th chapter in Allen's ominous dream making rather creepy first impression. It can be passed off as nothing, as Allen doesn't seem think about the dream afterwards.
 * Dissonant Serenity
 * Doppelganger: When he appears in, he looks almost exactly like Tyki Mikk. This was discussed in chapter 183, when Wisely saw Tyki and was surprised that he looked exactly like "that man".

Mana Walker
Allen's father figure who died when he was around ten or so. After he called Mana back as Akuma, his father cursed him, granting Allen the power to see Akuma's tormented souls. Then Allen's Innocence activated for the first time and he destroyed Mana, which in turn led Allen to become Exorcist.

Before his death Mana worked as travelling entertainer. Despite Allen thinking about him every now and then during the series, very little is actually known about him. -

 * Nice Hat

 * Actually, we get a single panel silhouette of him (as a boy) in normal clothes in the manga with his brother.
