Keima Katsuragi
"Voiced by: Hiro Shimono (JP), Chris Patton (EN)"

A 17-year-old master of video games known all over the internet as "The Capturing God" for his incredible skill at Dating Sim games. He vehemently claims to have no interest in reality (or 3-D girls), instead preferring the company of his video game characters. While a legend in the gaming world, in real life he's an anti-social Otaku whom most students avoid. Despite his lack of real world social skills, he demonstrates immense confidence and remarkable intelligence, and is in fact at the top of his class in every subject (except PE).

His life is changed completely one day when he unwittingly accepts a contract from hell that pairs him up with Elsea to capture evil spirits that are possessing girls in the real world. Using his vast knowledge and experience gained from playing hundreds of dating sims, Keima must win the hearts of young women in spite of his disinterest in reality.

At the start of the series, he's isolated, rude, thoughtless and inclined towards abusiveness. However, as time goes on, he goes through some remarkably steady development and shows a surprising amount of concern for the girls he captures.

"The unknown person who shows up in the middle of a crisis is always suspicious...IN VIDEO GAMES!"
 * A God Am I: There's a reason why Elsie refers to him as "Kami-sama".
 * Accidental Pervert: On a few occasions. Often subverted though, as he occasionally plans these moments.
 * Alliterative Name
 * Anti-Hero: Type II.
 * Ascended Fanboy: He is the epicenter of the Gal Game industry, to the point he and his site were responsible for the industry's reinvigoration while it was in shambles. Also he was asked to direct a game of his desire, but he refused in the end.
 * Asexual: Matters of romance and emotions aside, Keima has no sex drive whatsoever.
 * Attractive Bent Gender:
 * Awesomeness By Analysis: Thanks to his gaming experience, he's able to deduce many key aspects of his targets and instantly become an expert at any board game.
 * The "B" Grade: Once has a minor breakdown because he gets a 99 on one of his tests. Not entirely for the usual reason in this case; he also has a deal with his teachers that he can play games in class as long as he gets perfect scores.
 * Badass Boast: Keima is quite fond of these, from "I can already see the ending" to "I will end this capture in X days". They are not always true, however.
 * Batman Gambit: The setup Keima uses . Bonus points for coming up with it almost immediately after meeting her.

"If the world is perfect...then there wouldn't be a need for love now would there?"
 * Berserk Button: Anything that questions his status as the Capturing God.
 * Big Brother Instinct: To Elsie, even though they're not blood-related. He'd deny it himself if asked, though.
 * Bishie Sparkle: He can turn them on at will.
 * Bishonen: While he's usually a nerd, when pursuing a target and downplaying his interest in games, the fact that he's actually quite handsome comes to light. In the first novel, is surprised to see that he really is as handsome as  described.
 * Brilliant but Lazy: Subverted. Keima puts exactly as little effort as needed in anything that does not interest him… only said effort is just as much as needed to excel at such tasks. Particularly during capture operations, Keima sometimes withstands days and weeks of tedious menial labour just for the sake of setting up the needed scenario.
 * Brown Eyes
 * Bunny Ears Lawyer: Most of the teachers just ignore his playing while in class as he gets the best grades anyway.
 * Butt Monkey: Everyone loves to beat on him, especially the girls, often for no other reason than because he's there.
 * The Casanova: Subverted. He's doing this to help the girls, keep his head, and end the contract.
 * Catch Phrase: "I can already see the ending!"
 * And (usually to Elsie) "Let me teach you something nice", with Art Shift to follow.
 * In the first chapter: 'Don't screw with me!'
 * Appended to any statement about the way the world works: "...In video games."
 * Celibate Hero: Or at least, celibate in Real Life. Keima does not even raise an eyebrow seeing Haqua while she's taking off her panties. This is getting quite complex as the story develops, because he's at least becoming more involved with 'the real' and thus starting at least to react a little more to the feelings of others, including wistfulness.
 * Character Development: In general, he's gone from a Jerkass to a Jerk with a Heart of Gold. Indeed, one way of looking at it is that he's becoming exactly what the ideal hero of the dating sim is supposed to be like: Kind deep down, brave, determined and self sacrificing. Several of the arcs also have more specific development such as:
 * Kanon's arc appears to have him skip the easy option of just being the person Kanon relies on and instead both making her grow up and allowing her to keep being an idol, which she genuinely enjoys.
 * Chihiro's arc has him realize he couldn't just ignore the real world and pretend he's not part of it. Nor can he ignore the people in it and dismiss them as though he actually understands them.
 * Jun's arc is the first time where he's willing to admit he actually cares about the personal problems of the capture targets. As he mentions in surprise to Nikaido, when he sees Jun upset for some reason he actually cares.
 * Tsukiyo's arc has him abandoning his earlier behaviour of not wanting to put himself in danger.
 * He shows significant development in Akari's arc, wherein he realizes living in an imperfect world isn't all that bad.

"Haqua: It's like you were rejected twice in a row after your conquests... Feeling sad? Keima: It's good that she's forgotten... This way... She won't get involved in all this."
 * Keima goes all out to save after she was stabbed. After meeting with  he also directly indicates both being greatly concerned for the girl's wellbeing while also slightly depressed that he has been forgotten.

"There is always a chance of success! And if there isn't any... I'll just have to make one."
 * It's not clear what exactly his feeling but Keima is nonetheless affected by the reaction of the girls who've forgotten his conquest.
 * Finally, in general, Keima has gotten more into devoting time and energy to his conquests. In the beginning, he was often very reluctant to capture girls and would also be quite flustered whenever they showed affection to him. But as time goes on, he's more precise whenever a runaway spirit shows up, devoting time and energy into it while holding his composure even during the kissing.
 * And later, it got to the point where he was crying for, because he had to . We can say that he certainly has a long way behind him, to change from someone who doesn't care to acknowledge other people into someone who would shed tears because he had to hurt another person.
 * The Chessmaster: He's basically what Lelouch or Light would have been if they were into scoring chicks, real or virtual.
 * Chick Magnet: In the Dating Sim world, there is no-one mightier than our Capturing God... and it seems this has translated over to real life. Even when he's not trying to capture the girl like with Chihiro and Nanaka, he still gets them!
 * Consummate Liar: He's very good at pretending to be something else. Usually during a capture he has a completely different personality.
 * Crazy Prepared: Keima's P.E. teacher tries confiscating his PFP before swimming. Keima then brings out another one. The teacher takes that one too. What does Keima do? He takes out 6 more all at once. Even as a kid, he had 8 portable game consoles and 100 spare batteries. They even came in useful.
 * The Cuckoolander Was Right: Mock his dating sim based strategies all you like, they work.
 * Curtains Match the Window
 * Dangerous Forbidden Technique: "Capturing God Mode"/"The God of Conquest Mode". Played for laughs, though, as you might expect.
 * Deal with the Devil: Starts off the series, though really In Name Only: Keima didn't know he was dealing with devils and they didn't really get what they wanted either, but the contract is still as binding and lethal towards violators as the very worst examples of the trope.
 * Determinator: More so in later chapters.

""At any rate, your plan sure is clever! And in order to do that, they need But with the current state of affairs, only you can realize their dreams. There's no time to find In the end,  have no choice but to. Even if you are the worst of all men. Not even the Weiss can compare to you. You definitely are the worst sort of Big Bad Guy!!""
 * Every Man Has His Price: Played for laughs, then forgotten by the next page, in is treating him like a weak girl, telling how she will protect him from bullying, carry him at their wedding, make him wear a dress... He is furious. But in a brilliant display of Genre Savviness she points out that if he married her, he wouldn't have to do any work, and could play video games all the time. All he can say to that is "... really?"
 * Fan Nickname: Partly an In-Series Nickname; a lot of the fandom like to call Keima simply God.
 * Flash Step: He does this to Ayumi in FLAG 163.
 * Forgets to Eat: Once he played 2 weeks' worth of backlog games for 20 hours straight yet did not eat. In the end he hallucinated and sang, then got woken up by Elsie who then lampshaded the importance of eating. It happens again later, helping spark off the Chihiro capture after she badmouthed him.
 * Freaky Friday Flip to Gender Bender:
 * Friendless Background
 * Genre Savvy: He applies Fridge Logic from video games, and it works. Usually. However, he also has moments of Genre blindness, such as failing to properly interpret Haqua and Diana's tsundere behavior, and there's a subtle running subplot that the capture targets are never quite as simple and direct as he thinks.
 * Guile Hero: He's useless in physical confrontations, but thanks to his skill in strategy and seduction, pulls most of the weight in the series.
 * Hates Being Touched
 * Heroic RROD: Caused by exhaustion from trying to get 6 captures in 1 1/2 weeks.
 * Hero with Bad Publicity: Minami's friends noted that Keima is famous in high school as "the weirdest weirdo"
 * He has to battle a different type of publicity issue when
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Since when did Yoshii become so smart?
 * I Did What I Had to Do:
 * I Gave My Word: A subtle example. Although Keima wants to blow off helping Chihiro's band study, he did promise that if Chihiro or Ayumi ever needed him he would be there for them. He grumbles about how he shouldn't have said that since they weren't going to remember anyway but he did promise.
 * I Know Mortal Kombat: It's remarkable just how well video games translate to reality for him. This is because video games are somewhat based on reality.
 * In-Series Nickname: He has two; "God of Walkthroughs," or simply "God" in the gaming world, while his Real Life classmates call him otaMegane, or in short, otamega.
 * Insane Troll Logic: Unfortunately, insane trolls appear to run his universe, so he's usually at least pretty close to being right.
 * Instant Expert: He defeats Haqua at a game she brought from Hell that he has never seen before. Haqua also claims to have not lost in the last 100 years. She doesn't stand a chance against God.
 * It's All About Me
 * Jerkass -> Jerk with a Heart of Gold
 * Large Ham: When talking to anyone who's not a capture target, usually Elsie. Especially if it's about games. Which is about 99.9% of the time.
 * Logical Weakness: Three of them.
 * First, ordinary girls like Chihiro or Asami with no clearly defined traits confuse him.
 * Second, the energetic Cloudcuckoolander type like Tooru since they operate outside logic and all of his technique is based on said logic.
 * Third, aggressive girls like . He plays games where he chases after girls. If a girl chases after him, he's as inexperienced as the next person and gets extremely flustered, something Haqua eventually picks up on.
 * Loners Are Freaks: Eventually averted. He's just self-centered and mostly grows out of that. His treatment of Elsie is, at worst, Annoying Younger Sibling level.
 * Love Triangle: There are two revolving around him at different points. In the first novel, he seems to do it as a sort of Self-Imposed Challenge, though the two girls in question rarely get in the others way . Later and in the proper manga, there's a love triangle of Chihiro -> Keima <- Ayumi that becomes a huge snarled mess.
 * Ludicrous Precision: Born on June 6 at 11:29 and 35 seconds and can memorize real-life events on minute intervals. He justifies this by the amount of memorization needed to complete video games on multiple arcs, so he has to have precision at maximum. Which makes perfect sense given the amount of time he has played his video games.
 * Made of Iron: With all the physical abuse he goes through when exorcising, Keima is obviously like this, crappy performance in P.E. notwithstanding.
 * Manipulative/Magnificent Bastard: He very narrowly avoids both by being The Chew Toy/The Woobie.
 * Lampshaded by Haqua:

"Keima: Don't worry about it. I was deep in thought at the time, so I have no memory of your naked body."
 * Meaningful Name: His first name Keima is derived from the term "gamer". It is the Word of God. Written on the author's blog entry for FLAG76.
 * His first name is also a homonym for Knight, a minor point for the Nanaka arc, referring to the "keima" shogi piece whose chess equivalent is the "knight".
 * Another minor point, to go with the card motif of his capture targets, there is a Knight card of a standard 56-card deck.
 * Megane
 * Mistaken for Gay:
 * Nerds Are Sexy: The girls who like Keima for who he is have an element of this, though they also admire his strong will and disregard of the authority of others.
 * Nerves of Steel: When his life is threatened, he never loses his nerve.
 * No Social Skills: His vast experience of dating sims lets him play the suitor, but when it comes to befriending someone, he's at a loss.
 * Nosebleed: We never see him show enough interest in girls to have a real one, but he can do it on command.
 * Not a Morning Person: Either from playing not enough or too many games.
 * Not Distracted by the Sexy: Keima barely seems to notice all the fanservice around him, and when he does, he's usually annoyed by it. Best summed up by Keima's words after walking into Haqua taking a bath the night before.


 * Not Himself:
 * Oblivious to Love: Even with Elsie, Haqua, and Diana constantly "bothering" him, he doesn't seem to notice they are head over heels in love with him. Not to mention the arc heroines who are hopelessly smitten by him. For those he does know about, he still ignores them, making it difficult to tell where this starts and stops.
 * Playing Cyrano: Played with when he tried to help Chihiro get together with the guy she liked at the time instead of trying to capture her himself. Unfortunately for Keima, she became interested in him instead.
 * Proud to Be a Geek: And how!
 * Reality Ensues:
 * Real Men Hate Sugar: Keima has stated many times that he hates sweets, but if necessary for a capture will still eat them, as shown in Sumire's capture.
 * Red Baron: Known to the game community as "Otoshi-gami"/"The Capturing God"/"The God of Conquest." May or may not be related to "Gotta Catch Em All!"
 * Resigned to the Call: Keima had to be blackmailed into helping Hell, and even then Elsie has to constantly nag him to keep working.
 * Sarcastic Confession: During the capture of Amami Tooru
 * Second Year Protagonist
 * Selective Obliviousness: Invokes this trope often.
 * Serious Business: Dating Sims.
 * Shrouded in Myth: Chapter 51 shows just how muddled his reputation is.
 * Speed Echoes: One of the applications of his Dangerous Forbidden Technique is to move his arms so fast it looks like many.
 * In an omake, he takes it further and develops "Dancing God of Conquest Mode!!".
 * Spit Take: When Elsie informs him that Yoshino Asami may already like him, he spits out his tea.
 * The Spock: After  the girls around him chastise him for not feeling anything, and approaching it like it's one of his games. However, it was shown that he knows just how serious it is, and that he's so determined to put things right, he's entirely focused on solving the problem and finding another goddess to help her before she dies.
 * Spoiled Brat
 * Squishy Wizard: He's at the top of his class, is the God of Conquest, but his body is rather frail because he forgets to get himself in shape due to his obsession with video games. During arcs that require him to be more physically active, he is frequently shown getting exhausted.
 * Stealth Insult: Possibly not intentional, but... Haqua expresses anger that he walked in on her naked. He responds by saying not to worry, because he was too deep in thought at the time to remember her naked body.
 * The Stoic: And proud of it.
 * Not So Stoic: Keima blushes noticeably
 * And on a lighter note, Haqua points out that
 * Supreme Chef: Not exactly a chef, but according to the later chapters, he can make coffee that's to die for. Justified because he lives in a coffee shop.
 * Terrible Artist
 * Teen Genius: Can predict test questions, remember events in his life to minute intervals, and multitask with ease, as shown when he plays multiple games at once.
 * Tsundere
 * Unwanted Harem: Has Haqua, Diana, Tenri, Elsea and  after him. It's really unwanted because all he wants to do is play his games.
 * What Beautiful Eyes!: His eyes occasionally attract a good deal of attention. Amami Tooru finds them absolutely beautiful while others like Nagase Jun find them striking and powerful.
 * Wholesome Crossdresser: As the God of Being Captured.
 * Xanatos Speed Chess: A key tactic of Keima's, especially during the arc where he pulls stunts like using  to his advantage and using it in his plans or
 * Yaoi Fangirl: He 'slips' after he is affected by

Elsea de Lute Irma
"Voiced by: Kanae Ito (JP), Luci Christian (EN)"

Also known as Elsie, Elsea is a low-level demon assigned as Keima's partner. Having served as a minor cleaning demon for most of her life, she's very inexperienced and lacking in confidence. She has a childish personality, is fantastic at cleaning but bad at cooking, and has an attention span of about 3 minutes. She masquerades as Keima's little sister, but occasionally shows signs of having a crush on him. She literally idolizes Keima, often referring to him as "Kami-sama." She later becomes the left-handed bassist for Chihiro's band, the 2-B Pencils.

Over the course of the series, she has more or less graduated to being his real little sister. Apart from this, throughout the series she normally acts as a sort of plot device by using her robe.


 * Annoying Younger Sibling: In all but blood.
 * Attention Deficit Ooh... RED FIRE TRUCK!!
 * Bad Liar
 * Becoming the Mask: In the role of Keima's sister. At first she called him Kami-sama ("God"), then Kami-nii-sama ("God-brother"), and now it's just Nii-sama ("Brother"). She also calls his mother "mother".
 * Big Brother Worship
 * Butt Monkey
 * Compulsory School Age: She transfers into Keima's class, despite claiming to be his little sister.
 * His half-sister, though, so it's still logically possible.
 * Cordon Bleugh Chef: Elsea may not be a bad cook by the underworld's standards, but humans aren't used to eating so many tentacles and other questionable "foods".
 * Conveniently Unverifiable Cover Story: Poses as the illegitimate daughter of Keima's father, Keiichi Katsuragi.
 * Cuddle Bug
 * Cute Demon Girl
 * Detached Sleeves: Her normal outfit.
 * The Ditz: And cursed with enough self-awareness to realise it.
 * Dude, Where's My Respect?: She currently has caught the most Runaway Spirits, yet her colleagues refuse to believe that a ditz like her could be so successful. Then again, Keima did do most of the work.
 * Emergency Impersonation:
 * Epic Fail: She managed to set her notes on fire when studying for a test.
 * She's blown up a few buildings too from having her broom turned up too high while cleaning.
 * Finger-Suck Healing: Inverted; in dissent to the "in all but blood" statement above, she deliberately bites Keima's finger in a very early chapter to satisfy one of his requirements for 'being a younger sister' (that is to say, she needed his blood). Put simply, Keima wasn't amused.
 * Flying Broomstick: She doesn't really need it to fly, but it does serve as her Magic Wand of sorts.
 * The Glomp
 * Hair Decorations: Though this applies to all the New Devil spirit catchers. Doubles as a spirit sensor.
 * Hero Worshipper: She looks up to Keima, Haqua, and her big sister. She knows they're not perfect, but admires them all the same.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Kanae Ito, who's also Little Red Riding Hood and the first Catian on Earth.
 * Lethal Chef: While she's usually just using weird ingredients, there was that time she blew up a kitchen while trying to make a cake. Though that was mostly the mandrake's fault: The cake looked good until then.
 * Literal Minded
 * Little Sister Heroine: Invoked and subverted. Keima gives an epic speech about why she doesn't qualify and thus he won't accept her as his sister at all, but in the end he does. The subversion comes in when there is little romantic tension between the two and she simply acts like a normal, real little sister would. Naturally, the relationship is not without its Ship Tease, of course. Right after the Hinoki arc, Keima and Elsie are forced to go on a date by their friends. Keima refuses to treat it like a capture op (or date), and thus kills the most romantic moment, further depressing and angering Elsie who obviously wanted him to treat her like his date. She only recovers because he takes her to the firehouse to see the trucks after warning her "it's not my fault if you'll misunderstand".
 * Magnetic Girlfriend: In a subtle sense. The development of Keima's "harem" did start because he met her but he actually had to work and take the initiative to get the attention of most of the girls.
 * Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Justified. Her job is to make Keima do a PG rated seduction, meaning he has to open up to others.
 * Meaningful Name: "Elsie" has multiple meanings, mostly dealing with God, such as: "My God is a vow"; "God is my oath"; "God's promise"; "Oath of God"; "God is satisfaction"; "Consecrated to God"; etc.
 * Additionally, you can pronounce the name as "NPC". Well, Keima says he wouldn't work for a person in the Real World...
 * Mundane Object Amazement: Fire Engines.
 * New Meat: Due to the sudden demand for Spirit Capturers, Elsea was newly assigned to her position without having undergone the usual rigorous training process.
 * Otaku: Fangirls fire trucks (to the point where she reads magazines about them) and Kanon (to the point that she's memorised Kanon's songs and choreography).
 * Put on a Bus: For a protagonist, she has been away for quite a good chunk of the story. For the record, she left after chapter 117. Who knows when she will claim back her role as Keima's buddy?
 * Rapunzel Hair
 * Really Three Hundred Years Old: And still acts like she's 12.
 * Shoo Out the Clowns: Tends to happen whenever Keima gets serious about a capture.
 * Sidekick Ex Machina: Her role in Keima's strategies is essentially acting as a magic dispenser: "Elsie, could you do X with your robe?" "Yes, Kami-nii-sama!"
 * The Southpaw
 * Unreliable Expositor: Quite a bit of what she tells Keima in the first chapter is... well, wrong at worst and only partially correct at best. There is a reason Keima directs most Hell-related questions to Haqua, even pointing out that he can't fully trust what Elsea tells him.
 * The Watson: Unfortunately for her, Keima isn't the best at explaining.
 * Zettai Ryouiki

Capture Targets
Females whom Keima has to get the "Runaway Spirit" out of.


 * Locked Out of the Loop:
 * Loving a Shadow: It becomes clear over time that the girls aren't exactly falling in love with Keima. They're falling in love with whatever persona he projects for them to love. It's quite rare for Keima to not act at all during a capture and is only really done for two captures, one of which was a breather arc.
 * Averted with, and the other girls in love with him regardless of the capture target antics such as Tenri, Diana, Haqua, Asami from the light novels, Nanaka and, apparently, Airi. However, he doesn't seem to really understand this himself in the case of Chihiro, Asami or Tenri, who all admire his drive and nonconformity.
 * Motifs/Tarot Motifs: The first 14 girls (including Tenri), are shown here as the suit of hearts + the joker.
 * A bit of Fridge Brilliance with Tenri as the joker (also known as the wild card in some card games). She did not have a Runaway Spirit possessing her in the first place but instead Diana had a restrained weakened Weiss with her when she entered Tenri. She is also not one of Keima's official registered captures, Tenri was registered as Nora's target. Tenri could be place chronologically as: the 1st girl Keima met; the 1st girl who is a goddess host; the 10th girl Keima kissed since he became a Buddy in the Runaway Spirit Squad.
 * More Fridge Brilliance: Yui as the king.
 * Another with Ayumi being the ace.
 * Theme Naming: A lot of the females have surnames or family names from train stations.
 * Wistful Amnesia: To a greater or less extent depending on Keima's level of involvement during a capture.

Ayumi Takahara
"Voiced by: Ayana Taketatsu (JP), Kaytha Coker (EN)"

An athletic girl in Keima's homeroom and a member of the school's track-and-field club. Even after her Runaway Spirit was captured and she lost her memories of Keima, she still kept lingering feelings for him, which confused her immensely. She still shows up from time to time as a friend to Keima and Elsea, and plays guitar in Chihiro's band.


 * Armor-Piercing Slap: Gives one to Keima after.
 * Book Dumb: She claims to have once been a good student, but now she spends so much time on athletics that she's neglected her studies.
 * Crash Into Hello: Ayumi Missile firing!
 * First Kiss: With Keima.
 * Florence Nightingale Effect:
 * Furo Scene
 * Genki Girl
 * Hair Decorations
 * In-Series Nickname: "Mai High's missile"
 * I Want My Beloved to Be Happy:
 * Matchmaker Crush: Helps Keima pursue Chihiro when he asked to. She also wished him luck in making it happen.
 * Meaningful Name: Ayumi=Walking, beauty
 * Obfuscating Disability: She pretends to hurt her leg because she knew the upperclassmen were jealous that she'd be the school representative at the next track meet. Keima sees right through this.
 * Produce Pelting: To Keima with the gift basket's contents he gave to her near the end of her capture.
 * Talk To The Kick: When Keima tries to use his usual line to her this is her response.
 * Tomboy
 * Too Fast to Stop: She keeps on crashing into pillars and walls when running through the hallways. She tried to wear indoor shoes with spikes but was scolded for making holes in the hallways. Her friend Izumi Ishikiri suggests that she not run.
 * Tsundere
 * Wet Sari Scene:
 * What the Hell, Hero?:
 * Wet Sari Scene:
 * What the Hell, Hero?:

Mio Aoyama
"Voiced by: Aoi Yuki (JP), Hillary Haag (EN)"

A haughty girl whose father was the head of a major company. Unbeknownst to her classmates, her father had actually passed away recently, and Mio is actually poor now, but she's too proud to admit it. She makes a brief appearance during Yui's capture.


 * Disappeared Dad: Her father died one-year before the series start.
 * Forehead of Doom: One of the characteristics by which Keima identifies her as a tsundere.
 * Girlish Pigtails: One of the characteristics by which Keima identifies her as a tsundere.
 * Hair Decorations
 * Hair of Gold
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Mina Tepes is a Twin Tailed Tsundere!
 * Meaningful Name: Mio means: "my" or "mine" in Italian; "beautiful life" in Japanese.
 * Mock Millionaire
 * Multiethnic Name
 * The Napoleon: One of the tiniest girls in the series. Also one of the most violent.
 * Older Than They Look
 * The Ojou
 * Pride: Her major character trait, and a rather sad example.
 * Princess in Rags
 * Rich Bitch: The way Mio interpreted her father's words made her turn out like this, even when she was broke. She got better.
 * Shana Clone: A deliberate homage to the trend.
 * Token Mini-Moe
 * Tsundere: Lampshaded.
 * Tsurime Eyes: One of the characteristics by which Keima identifies her as a tsundere.
 * What Could Have Been: In the one-shot prototype, she was Keima's first capture, had a more normal physique and no twintails, and was still living in luxury. The prototype also did not give captured girls Easy Amnesia, so she remained infatuated with Keima, much to his chagrin.
 * Whip It Good: She threatens to treat Keima the same way Louise treats Saito. After the capture, Morida sees her blush on seeing him and is touched... until she wonders aloud why she has the urge to start whipping him.

Kanon Nakagawa
""I am a star. The mirror that reflects the era. But where is the mirror that reflects myself?"

Voiced by: Nao Touyama (JP), Brittney Karbowski (EN)"

Keima's classmate and a popular idol singer. She is a very dependent girl who desperately wants people to acknowledge her, so naturally she becomes immensely interested in Keima when she discovers he has no idea who she is. The Runaway Spirit that possessed her turned her invisible whenever she felt neglected.


 * Anguished Declaration of Love: Gives one to
 * Attention Whore: Before the situation with Keima, Kanon always felt the need to garner everyone's attention and approval; when Keima didn't acknowledge her existence or Idol Singer status, she literally disappeared.
 * Blatant Lies: From both the manga and anime: "A perfectly safe stun gun was used for this scene." Moments later, she knocks down a tree with them.
 * Chekhov's Gun: Keima looks back and remembers her trying to contact him during tests. However, there's actually an even earlier hint that she still has her memories: The omake chapters tend to contain hints about future events in between the humor and in this case she was noted as getting nervous at the word kiss and seeing the director's wig, which is katsura in Japanese. Puns...
 * Coy Girlish Flirt Pose: Does this for Keima just before her live preformance at the end of her arc. Because of where Keima was sitting and what Kanon was wearing at the time, he got quite a view.
 * Curtains Match the Window: Pink hair and eyes, setting her apart from most of the other girls in the series.
 * Dual-Wielding: Dual wielding stun guns.
 * Hair Antennae
 * Hair Decorations: Her iconic yellow ribbon.
 * Idol Singer
 * Invisibility
 * Meganekko: Only when at school.
 * Parental Abandonment: Her parents actually have an agreement for her to live by herself for her career.
 * Powers Via Possession: Invisibility.
 * Rose-Haired Girl
 * Shrinking Violet
 * Star-Making Role: For her voice actress, newcomer Nao Touyama.
 * Stun Guns Akimbo: Her weapon of choice when Keima ignores her.
 * Yandere: Played for laughs: Her second e-mail to Keima is nothing but "yoroshiku" (Please take care of me) repeated for multiple pages and she uses stun guns on anyone who doesn't recognize her. When this fails to convert Keima, she ramps up her efforts by giving him private concerts and threatening punishment if he doesn't show up.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Oddly enough, she's actually pretty much the only human character in the series with blatantly unnatural hair.

Shiori Shiomiya
"Voiced by: Kana Hanazawa (JP), Hillary Haag (EN)"

A very shy girl who loves to read books, and the secretary of the school's Book Committee. She spends most of her time practically living in the school library, where she has developed an emotional attachment to the books. Her arc focuses around her difficulty in speaking to others.

"Simone didn't feel sad at all because he wasn't an important man to begin with!"

 * Cute Bookworm
 * Did I Just Say That Out Loud?
 * Extreme Doormat: She slowly grows out of this as she interacts with Keima.
 * Hair Decorations: Her two hair ties on the sides of her head.
 * Her Codename Was Mary Sue: Her stories feature Simone as a blatant stand-in for herself. Oddly enough, in her sci-fi story, Simone's a mix between an idealized version of herself and Keima.
 * Her second story features Simone as a swashbuckling masked fencer on the cusp of the French Revolution.
 * Heroic BSOD: Goes into one (for about five seconds) thanks to the emotional Trauma Conga Line of
 * Inner Monologue
 * It's Been Done/Writer's Block: Suffers a bad case of this in chapter 147, realising most every idea she comes up with has either already been done or somehow turns into another sci-fi, then letting herself get distracted by her books.
 * Meaningful Name: Shiori = Bookmark
 * Motor Mouth: Her After Chapter reveals that post-conquest she can apparently talk so much and so quickly that she actually falls over due to not pausing for breath. No punctuation, as she puts it.
 * No Celebrities Were Harmed: Casiraghi died while Simone was in the middle of their kiss. They somehow got transported into a battlefield and Casiraghi was the only one to be riddled with bullet holes.

 * Visible Silence

Kusonoki Kasuga
"Voiced by: Ami Koshimizu (JP)"

The captain of the school's girls' karate club, who has repressed her feminine side in order to take up her father's dojo. She claims to hate weak things, but deep down she has a soft spot for them, which she tries her best to hide. As her personality continues to polarize, the Runaway Spirit possessing her causes her feminine side to manifest itself as a separate person and challenge her for control of her body. She appears again during her elder sister's, Hinoki's, capture.


 * Alliterative Name
 * Big Sister Worship: Ever since she was young, she loves her older sister Hinoki unconditionally.
 * Boobs of Steel: The strongest normal character in the series, she also has a bust surpassed only by Nora and possibly Hinoki. And the latter is no slouch herself.
 * Charles Atlas Superpower: She doesn't snap tiles, she puts her fist through them.

 * Rapunzel Hair
 * She's Got Legs
 * Split Personality
 * Literal Split Personality
 * Statuesque Stunner
 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: All in one person.
 * Tsundere: The anime adaptation plays up her fondness for cute things and blushing and gives her more of an internal monologue, which ends up landing her right here. In the manga, she's just masculine and, like most of the other girls, somewhat prone to violence. She just hits harder.

Chihiro Kosaka
"Voiced by: Kana Asumi (JP), Serena Varghese (EN)"

Another student in Keima's homeroom and close friend of Ayumi. She's completely average in almost every way imaginable, a fact that she's woefully aware of. Wanting excitement in her life, she has a habit of confessing to popular guys in her school, although she sets her sights too high and is always rejected. She later goes on to start her own band, the 2-B Pencils, for which she does guitar and vocals.

"Keima: She's exactly a middling real girl among real girls!"
 * Chekhov's Gunman: Makes a few appearances before her capture arc.
 * Florence Nightingale Effect: Keima tries inducing one while testing to see if she has a goddess.

 * Unwitting Instigator of Doom:

Jun Nagase
"Voiced by: Aki Toyosaki (JP)"

A university student training to become a teacher, who comes to Keima's school to teach for two weeks. She's very passionate about everything she does, and is also a big fan of pro wrestler Jumbo Tsuruma. Believing Keima to be a troubled student, she spends much effort trying to reach out to him.


 * Hot-Blooded
 * Hot for Student: Keima tries desperately to try capturing her in any other way other than this before being stuck with it because the teacher routes in dating sims are always harder. Obviously, he fails. Really, he's lucky that she was just a student teacher and therefore viewed him as a project instead of labeling him out of bounds as a student.
 * Meaningful Name: Jun could mean "pure".
 * Naive Newcomer
 * Sempai-Kohai: With Nikaido.
 * Sensei-chan: What she tries to be.
 * Stepford Smiler

Tsukiyo Kujou


The only member of the school astronomy club, who spends her time watching the moon with her doll Luna. She cares only for "beautiful" things, and considers things like emotion to be ugly. Like Keima, she holds disdain towards reality, and prefers to live in her own fantasy world (on the moon). Based on her feelings, her Runaway Spirit shrinks her to the size of a doll.


 * Club President: Astronomy Club
 * Blue Eyes
 * Elegant Gothic Lolita
 * Expy: Of Shinku.
 * Foreshadowing:
 * Hair of Gold
 * Hime Cut
 * Incredible Shrinking Girl
 * Kuudere

 * The Ojou
 * Powers Via Possession
 * Princess Curls
 * Purity Personified:
 * Screw Destiny: Tsukiyo call Keima out on his Because Destiny Says So pickup line.

Minami Ikoma


A middle schooler and member of the school swim team, although only as the third substitute. She is indecisive about her life, and contemplates quitting the swim team until she meets Keima, whom she erroneously believes to be an older member of the swim team. Her story arc is told primarily through her own point of view rather than Keima's, depicting her growth in confidence as she idolizes Keima as her sempai.

"Keima: "Being a sempai is like a love potion you get for free!""
 * A Day in the Limelight: She's the only capture target to have the story told mostly from their point of view.
 * Annoying Younger Sibling: She has an annoying younger brother.
 * Inner Monologue
 * Location Theme Naming / Meaningful Name: Minami=South; nami=Wave
 * Sempai-Kohai: Keima conceptualizes this relationship between him and Minami, and lets Minami's imagination fill in the rest.


 * Wistful Amnesia:

Rieko Hinaga


A ghostly girl manifested by a Runaway Spirit. Rieko herself is an elderly woman, but the spirit appears as a manifestation of her longing for past memories.


 * Cute Ghost Girl
 * Identical Grandchild: Reiko's granddaughter Airi looks like her when she was her age.
 * Miniature Senior Citizens: She is barely taller than her granddaughter.
 * Red Herring: The 'ghost' that is seen early on looks like Airi and she has some social issues, so the natural assumption is that she's the capture target. However, Keima realizes quickly enough that Airi has no problems with her lifestyle and therefore no gap.
 * Talking the Monster to Death:

Sumire Uemoto


The daughter of a ramen restaurant owner who's eager to take up the family business, but her father disapproves of her desire. Wishing to prove herself to her father, she gets Keima to assist her in creating the perfect ramen recipe.


 * Big Eater: How she seems at first, but she's really researching different kinds of ramen.
 * But Not Too Foreign: She dresses Chinese because her mother did, implying she had a Chinese mother.

 * Qipao: Always wears one when working.
 * Unnamed Parent: Both of her parents.
 * "Well Done, Daughter" Girl: All she wants is for her father to acknowledge her as a ramen chef.

Nanaka Haibara


A shogi enthusiast who once lost to her classmate Tenri (possessed by Diana). She took the loss very hard, and has devoted herself to beating her in a rematch.


 * Breather Episode: The official reason for her arc. It's why it's so straightforward and with nothing in the way of real twists.
 * But Not Too Foreign: Her grandfather from her mother's side was a French soldier.
 * Defeat Means Friendship: In a sense. After scoring a victory over Diana she stops both looking down on Tenri and feeling any real sense of rivalry, so they become friends. Apparently Tenri is also really good at shogi.
 * Fragile Flower: Cries easily. This may be an inherited trait.
 * In the Blood: Attributes her hate to lose from her father and grandfather.
 * Kansai Dialect
 * Meaningful Name: Nanaka means "Seven Lances", referring to a piece in Shogi.
 * Playing Drunk: Off of ginger ale.
 * The Rival: Nice job, Diana. Next time, try to think before actually taking over for once.
 * Sailor Fuku: Her school uniform.
 * Second Place Is for Losers: Despite being an excellent shogi player, she still can't get over her one loss.
 * Serious Business: Shogi.
 * Training From Hell: Went through this with Keima.

Yui Goido


A rich heiress living a suffocating life under pressure from her parents to be the perfect daughter. Her desire to escape her life is finally granted when her Runaway Spirit lets her switch bodies with another person. She later joins as the drummer of Chihiro's band, the 2-B Pencils.


 * Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Her mother is an overbearing Education Mama Ojou who doesn't let her daughter do anything she doesn't approve of.
 * Bifauxnen: Becomes one after
 * Bokukko: During the capture, Yui gets some odd looks because her pronoun usage naturally differs from Keima's, though not quite a true example due to the circumstances.
 * Covert Pervert: She wants Keima to wear a dress while dating her, which she excuses as to not be Mistaken for Gay. She's very happy when he finally goes through with it.
 * Crash Into Hello
 * Even the Girls Want Her: Post-capture Yui seems to be a lot more popular than she was pre capture. Including quite a few middle school girls, apparently.
 * Hidden Buxom: Her clothing deemphasizes it, but she's actually rather well-endowed.
 * Improbable Weapon User: She one-shot a hulking bodyguard with a drumming stick.
 * Knight in Shining Armor:
 * Kimono: Worn a flower-patterned one on her body during her arc. She switches over to suits post-capture, except wearing a yukata when sleeping.
 * Laser-Guided Amnesia:
 * Meet Cute: First more or less subverted when Keima was just annoyed and it didn't mean anything to either. If she hadn't had a runaway spirit nothing would have come of it. But she did, so it was then invoked by Keima setting another up.
 * Mistaken for Gay:
 * She later intends to correct this trope
 * Nice Girl: Keima has issues with how proactive she is, but she's really one of the nicest girls in the cast and one of the few who never abuses him.
 * No Sense of Personal Space: Around Keima.
 * Ojou
 * Powers Via Possession
 * Rapunzel Hair: Before her capture. Post-capture, she had an Important Haircut to a Tomboyish Ponytail.
 * Royal Rapier: Yui uses a prop one during.
 * Running Gag: Being mistaken for a guy.
 * Single-Target Sexuality: Post-capture Yui fell back in love with Keima, and wants only him by any means neccesary. She even seems willing to accept him pursuing other girls and let slide as long as she can have him too.
 * Somebody Else's Problem:
 * Spoiled Sweet: She never acts snobby, and uses the family's wealth to buy equipment for the girls' band.
 * Stalker with a Crush: Post-capture Yui relentlessly tails Keima as he tries Keima thinks she's acting like the protagonist of a dating sim, and that's his job. Multiplayer eroges...
 * Tomboyish Ponytail
 * : Post-capture.
 * Yamato Nadeshiko: She's been raised to be one, but is clearly feeling a little stifled.
 * : Post-capture.
 * Yamato Nadeshiko: She's been raised to be one, but is clearly feeling a little stifled.

Hinoki Kasuga


The elder sister of Kusunoki Kasuga. An eccentric fashion designer, actress, and artist who always carries around a megaphone. Came back to Maijima City after 5 years.


 * Boobs of Steel: Just like her younger sister and just as proficient in martial arts.
 * Cool Big Sis:
 * The Gadfly: Enjoys teasing Kusonoki as shown in her after chapters.
 * Glasses Pull
 * Heir to the Dojo: Or rather, she used to be.
 * Large Ham: Dethrones Nora as the hammiest girl.
 * Loud of War: Easy with the megaphone, miss.
 * May-December Romance: This is the basis of her arc, though of course not the cause of her gap. She's the 'adult' heroine and the story presents this as a big wall between her and Keima. This might seem odd considering that A. the age gap is only three years and B. Jun is actually older than she is yet no mention of this was made in her arc.
 * The Runaway: She ran away when Kusunoki graduated from middle school, and now lives independently in the USA (backed up by her Omake).
 * Sexy Coat Flashing
 * Shipper on Deck: Her omake is basically her teasing Kusonoki about Keima and trying to hook her up with him. At least part of it is probably trolling though.

New Devils
The current residents of New Hell ever since the Old Devils were sealed away 300 years before the start of the series. There are two known factions, The Runaway Spirit Squad and Vintage.


 * Aura Vision: Demons and humans associated with one are able to see the dark aura generated by the Weiss.
 * Black Magic: The magic of Hell has been referred to as this. It is relatively neutral in its normal state, but it can be empowered by evil and negative feelings.

 * One-Gender Race: There are no male New Devils.
 * Our Demons Are Different: Especially if you compare them to the Old Devils, The Weiss.
 * Shinigami: They are not known to actually escort the dead, but they are the guardians of the afterlife and the Scythe of Testament is one of the highest honors a demon can receive.
 * Thou Shall Not Kill: According to Lune, New Devils are forbidden from killing humans. Though there are some that are rumored to do so anyway.
 * Wingdinglish: Their Hellian writing system; it is somewhat readable.

Haqua du Lot Herminium

A friend and former classmate of Elsea's, who graduated top of their class. Having always excelled at everything she did, Haqua was quickly promoted to the position of District Chief of Area 32 in charge of capturing Runaway Spirits, but since her promotion she has had a terrible record. With the help of Elsea and Keima, Haqua wins back her confidence and in turn begins developing feelings towards Keima. Her human partner is Yukie.

-
 * A-Cup Angst: Oh how she's so conscious about her size...
 * Arbitrary Skepticism: It takes her a bit to get used to the idea that Goddesses can exist. Never mind that she's a demon.
 * Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: Challenges Keima to a game and accepts his terms that the loser has to do whatever the victor wants. After losing, Haqua "pleads" with Keima to not make her do anything. But Keima just wants to ask her questions about Hell, prompting her to lash out.
 * Ascended Extra: Starts out as a minor recurring character.
 * Badass Adorable: Her big moment in chapter 176 and the following scene leave no doubt that she's both badass and adorable.
 * Badass Bookworm: She's able to outfly and outfight Vintage agents despite not having her hagoromo. While Vintage uses powerful spells and devices left over from Old Hell, she put the effort into knowing how demon magic actually works.
 * Badass Cape
 * Berserk Button: More or less everything Keima has done in her presence so far.
 * Big Damn Heroes: Chapter 175.
 * Clingy Jealous Girl
 * Curb Stomp Battle:
 * Detached Sleeves: Part of her new outfit in FLAG 175.

 * Flaming Sword: Haqua has a spell that can produce this effect with her scythe.

 * Playing with Fire
 * Really Three Hundred Years Old
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning: Mostly averted. Just don't make her angry.
 * Sexy Backless Outfit: Apparently part of her normal outfit. The hair just gets in the way.
 * Ship Tease: Oh yeah, sure, have her and Keima be partners for a week. I'm sure she'll really be professional about it.
 * Sinister Scythe: Awarded to her for being the number one student in her class.
 * Skilled but Naive: Her biggest character flaw. She is very book smart and was rivaled only by Fiore at the devil magic school. But when she started working in the field, she stumbled quite a bit at first. Later, when treachery became an issue, It Got Worse..
 * Took a Level In Badass: Hell. YES. Losing her celestial robe and having to rely on her own spells seems to have actually increased her effectiveness.
 * Tsundere: She's more the tsuntsun type so far. And considering the scythe she's waving around it's better to steer way clear of her outbursts.
 * The Watson: She takes over for Elsie in the goddess capture arc.
 * Wide-Eyed Idealist: Has a great deal of pride in the peaceful, civilized world of New Hell.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Purple shading to blue.

Nora Floriann Leoria


A powerful senior demon who does not get along very well with Elsea and Haqua. Rather than letting her human partner do most of the work, like Elsea and Keima, she prefers to take matters into her own hands, sometimes with lethal means.

 * Mind Probe: Her senior demon powers let her delve into people's hearts.
 * Murder Is the Best Solution: If her target's been hurt by someone, she'll give them revenge... up to and including killing the one who hurt them.
 * Obfuscating Stupidity:
 * Pet the Dog: Although her regard for human life is low, she's very hesitant to do anything that could lead to a fellow New Hell Devil dying. What Measure Is A Non Demon, perhaps?

 * Wall of Weapons: Had a whole pile laid out on the ground when she wanted to kill Keima.
 * What the Hell, Hero?:
 * White-Haired Pretty Girl

 * Zettai Ryouiki: Grade A with her shorts.

Akari Kurakawa (Rimyuel)
Member/Head of the Biology Club. Older than Keima, but smaller. Has a frail appearance. Wants to create a "Perfect Human" (using a robot).


 * Artificial Human: Creating one is her goal.
 * Break the Badass:
 * Button Mashing: kissing Keima repeatedly made him think that she was treating a kiss like pressing a button.
 * 'Button' in this trope is plural. So if she actually tried Button Mashing on Keima it would ramp up the Fetish Fuel level of the chapter even more.
 * Perhaps this will lead Keima to the conclusion that he really likes the girls he "saved" in a way. Even with the fact that he does what he does partly because he doesn't want the demons that possess the girls to reincarnate.
 * The Cavalry:
 * Compressed Hair: That hat of hers holds more hair than you think.
 * Dating Sim: Keima compared her to a game/dating sim character.
 * Distaff Counterpart: Her disconnection from reality and dislike of real people is very similar to Keima's.

 * Girlish Pigtails: How does she keep all that hair under her cap?
 * Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Compared to Keima. She's THAT little. She's about four and a half feet tall.
 * Humans Are Flawed: This train of thought motivates her into wanting to create a "Perfect Human." In the end Keima convinces her that flawed humans are not a bad thing.
 * Meaningful Name: Her name means "Light."
 * Peek-a-Bangs
 * The Pig Pen: Defining trait? Reeks of oil. Her after chapter is mostly focused on this rather than any actual work she does. Apparently, it wasn't just something she was doing to keep people away. Nope, she's entirely unaware that she reeks.
 * Red Herring:
 * Sinister Scythe: Near identical to Haqua's Scythe of Testament, though a lot more battle worn. Presumably awarded to her for being the top of her class.
 * Spell My Name with an "S": Is it "Rimyuel" or is it "Lumière," French for light?
 * What Is This Thing You Call Love?: Keima tries to invoke this early in the arc.

Centuries ago, the Jupiter Sisters, goddesses from Heaven, managed to seal away the Runaway Spirits by making a collective Heroic Sacrifice, trapping themselves alongside their prisoners. When the spirits finally managed to escape, the sisters were released as well. They ended up in the spirits' human hosts, resting dormant until they could regain their strength. Unlike the spirits, however, the goddesses draw strength from love and affection.

Collectively, they share the following tropes:


 * Barrier Maidens: They were this when they made their Heroic Sacrifice to seal away the Weiss 300 years before the story. That is until the Great Runaway Spirit Escape 10 years before the story.
 * Chekhov's Gunman: Five of the goddesses are inside Keima's previous capture targets.
 * Expository Hairstyle Change/Split Personality Makeover: When the goddesses are in control of their hosts' bodies, their hair or other features change to indicate it.
 * Famous Ancestor: Jupiter, king of the Roman gods, from whom the sisters take their collective name.
 * Gender Blender Name: 4 of the 6 goddesses are named after male gods from the Roman pantheon.
 * Level Up At Intimacy 5: The more affection the hosts have, the more power the goddesses can unleash.
 * Their rough progression: The Mirror Shows Your True Self -> Willing Channeler ->  ->.
 * The Mirror Shows Your True Self: Once they've regained enough strength, the goddesses can appear in their hosts' reflections and shadows.
 * Our Gods Are Greater: What the sisters were - or could be - capable of at full power is unclear, but they weren't omnipotent. As they regain their strength, they become able to switch places with their hosts, manifesting superstrength and superspeed, and have a measure of resistance to spells.
 * Power Source: The Power of Love
 * Sacred Language: The language of Heaven the Goddesses speak. In the manga it is rendered in a Wingdinglish which is somewhat readable.
 * Sealed Good in a Pretty Girl: The sisters' current status.
 * Sharing a Body:.
 * Theme Naming: Each named for one of their relatives in the Roman pantheon.
 * Theme Naming: Each named for one of their relatives in the Roman pantheon.

Tenri Ayukawa / Diana


Keima's childhood friend who has just recently moved back into town. She has a huge crush on Keima, but is too shy to come forth with her feelings. After a certain incident with Keima 10 years ago, she became possessed by Diana, one of the Jupiter Sisters. Diana is assertive and strong-willed, and is now able to temporarily take full control of Tenri's body at times. Together, the two of them become allies in Keima's quest to capture Runaway Spirits.

She is the third oldest of the Jupiter Sisters.

"Diana: Didn't do it for Tenri. Didn't do it for Tenri. Didn't do it for Tenri. Didn't do it for Tenri..."
 * Blinding Bangs: Until after Tenri's arc, when she cut her bangs so they don't cover as much.
 * Braided Twintails: Only when Tenri sleeps.
 * Chekhov's Gun:
 * Childhood Friend Romance: Keima denies that they were friends in the first place, though. Still unclear as to which way this is going.
 * Clingy Jealous Girl: Diana.
 * Color Failure: Actually worse, since it looks like she got petrified.
 * Cool Big Sis: Diana acts like this for Tenri.
 * Disappeared Dad: Tenri's father is neither seen nor mentioned.
 * Forgotten Childhood Friend: For a decade.
 * Girl Next Door
 * Good Is Not Nice: Diana can be rather cold and inconsiderate some of the time.
 * Hair Decorations
 * Inferiority Superiority Complex: Beneath Diana's not-inconsiderable ego, she believes she's caused trouble for Tenri, herself, and her sisters.
 * I Want My Beloved to Be Happy:
 * Meaningful Name: "Tenri" means "Rule of Heaven".
 * Mundane Object Amazement: Diana is really impressed with Tenri's magic tricks even though she herself used to split the sea and control the weather.
 * Patient Childhood Love Interest: She's referred to as one, but Keima vehemently rejects the idea by listing all the actual requirements for the trope. On the other hand (much like with Elsie after he used similar logic to attack her 'little sister' credentials), she ends up becoming one of his few actual friends. Ish.
 * Powers Via Possession
 * Sailor Fuku: Her school uniform.
 * Shipper on Deck: Diana pushes Tenri towards Keima quite insistently and gets annoyed when the 'details' of his job come up. However, see also tsundere below.
 * Shrinking Violet
 * Stage Magician: Tenri's hobby.
 * Disappearing Box: One of Tenri's tricks. Diana's favorite version is with swords stabbing the box.
 * Super Speed/Super Strength: In Diana's case, at least.
 * Tareme Eyes/Tsurime Eyes: Depending on whether Tenri or Diana is in control.
 * Tsundere: Diana, who clearly has no interest in Keima herself and is only trying to help Tenri. Pay no attention to her blushing and fretting over Keima taking her first kiss when he kissed Tenri. Tilted towards the kuudere side of the spectrum.
 * You Never Did That for Me: Diana's complaint to Keima asking if he exchanged some S-P-E-C-I-A-L kind of love with Tsukiyo but didn't do it for Tenri.

Apollo
A somewhat ditzy goddess who refers to herself as a muse, she is also the healer of the sisters.

She is the second oldest of the Jupiter Sisters.


 * Chekhov's Gun: Keima looks back and remembers trying to contact him during tests. However, there's actually an even earlier hint that she still has her memories: The omake chapters of her host.
 * The Ditz: Apollo cheerfully owns up to being an idiot.
 * Facial Markings
 * Hair Antennae
 * The Medic: Apollo's an expert in the healing arts, according to Diana and Vulcan.
 * Moving the Goalposts: Possibly justified depending on how you look at it.
 * Idiot Ball: To be fair, Apollo admits freely that she's not very bright. She's a muse, and planning is not one of their strong suits. So, partially justified.
 * Rose-Haired Girl

Vulcan
The first goddess uncovered by Keima, Vulcan is nearly blind, deaf and immobile. However, she possesses the ability to bring objects to life and control them, more than making up for this.

She is the eldest Jupiter Sister.


 * Berserk Button: Vulcan will not tolerate *any* threats to 's purity.
 * Call Back: Vulcan insists that Keima carry her around, similar to the time he had to carry around during her capture arc.
 * Curb Stomp Battle:
 * Elegant Gothic Lolita
 * Eyes Always Shut: She's not entirely blind, but that's how she's drawn.
 * Foil: Vulcan is expressive about her feelings whilst remains stoic. Both still retain an aura of a noblewoman.
 * Foreshadowing:
 * Handicapped Badass: According to Vulcan, she has bad hearing and eyesight, and can't walk (similar to her namesake). Her power over objects more than compensates for this, though.
 * Disability Superpower: She may be blind, deaf, and immobile, but her powers more then make up for it by using Luna as her eyes and ears... and everything else as her fists.
 * Hime Cut
 * Mind Over Matter: This is Vulcan's main power - and she can do some terrifying things with it.
 * The Ojou
 * Perverse Puppet: Vulcan's able to possess and use it as a substitute body.
 * Power Dyes Your Hair
 * Princess Curls
 * Red Headed Heroine
 * Screw Destiny: and Vulcan call Keima out on his Because Destiny Says So pickup line.
 * Scrub: In-Universe: "Don't fight with weapons doesn't have!"

Mars
The next goddess found after Vulcan, Mars appears to the most physically powerful, as befits her name. Mars seems serious and businesslike to the point where she seems completely inexperienced when it comes to love and romance.

She is the second youngest of the Jupiter Sisters.


 * Boobs of Steel: What a coincidence, the warrior goddess ends up in the bustiest of the six hosts.
 * Braids of Action: When Mars takes over, her host's hair is braided.
 * Double Standard Rape (Female on Male): States that Yui will assert her feelings, even if she has to force herself on Keima. But apparently there are some guys who are into that and maybe Katsuragi is like that, so it might be OK.
 * Foil: Mars thinks only about fighting while her host thinks only about romance. Both demonstrate masculine characteristics.
 * Hair of Gold
 * Knight in Shining Armor:
 * Lady of War
 * Laser-Guided Amnesia:
 * Power Dyes Your Hair: When Mars takes over, her hair turns blond and she gains a circlet.
 * Royal Rapier: Her host uses a prop one during her date with Keima, but Mars wields it expertly against the "evil agent of Vintage."

 * Super Speed/Super Strength
 * Tomboyish Ponytail
 * Unfamiliar Ceiling: Mars goes through this when she wakes up, quizzing her new host on where she is.
 * War Goddess: Duh.

Minerva
The fifth goddess, she is unique in that during the recapture arc she is in fact seen separate from her host. Her personality appears quite similar to her host, as does her appearance, though Minerva looks far younger.

She is the third youngest of the Jupiter Sisters.


 * Barrier Warrior: Minerva can manifest forcefields to protect herself or others.
 * Cute Bookworm
 * Dual Age Modes: When Minerva is in control, her host's body appears younger.
 * Hime Cut
 * Power Makes Your Hair Grow
 * The Quiet One
 * Shrinking Violet
 * Token Mini-Moe: Most childlike of the Jupiter Sisters, though not actually the youngest.
 * Visible Silence

Mercury
The final goddess and the one Keima has of course been trying to find the whole time, Mercury is considered to be something of an oddball. While the other sisters all have a particular strength, Mercury appears to have more interest in learning weird spells.

She is the youngest Jupiter Sister.

 * Facial Markings
 * Peek-a-Bangs
 * Sleepyhead: Shows distinct signs of this.

 * Fun T-Shirt: Wears one that says, "NO PUNK NO LIFE".
 * Gradual Grinder: A rare positive example.

 * Shipper on Deck: Although not outright stated, she seems to try to manipulate Haqua and Keima getting together. Such as telling Keima that Haqua must be in a good mood because of him and how she supposedly talks about how good-looking he is. She also insists on him taking a bath and then tells Haqua that he already went home when she herself wants to take one. Keima is able to see through it though, unlike Haqua.

Ryou Asama

 * Ill Girl: Her classmates seem to think she gets sick a lot.
 * Shrinking Violet: At school, her behavior and attitude are rather muted due to difficulty in interacting with large groups of people.
