Yamato Agari and Ultimo
Yamato Agari and Ultimo are the two major characters of Karakuridouji Ultimo. They represent Ultimate Good and are the leaders of The Good Doji Club.

Yamato Agari
""If I don't fight...then who will?!!""



The main hero. He's known mostly by all of this friends (and enemies) for being a huge idiot loudmouth and for his unusually tall height. In his past life, he was a bandit who later gained recognition with the people for his heroic, Robin Hood-like actions against the corrupt government.

Tropes associated with Yamato:
 * Adorkable
 * All Love Is Unrequited: He has a crush on Sayama. Whether she returns his feelings or not is unknown.
 * Being Good Sucks
 * Berserk Button: Even mention destruction anywhere remotely close to where Sayama is, and Yamato will lose it.
 * Bishie Sparkle: Yamato does this once in a while, but since he isn't really Bishonen it's probably played for laughs.
 * Brown Eyes
 * Butt Monkey: Try to find a chapter where something bad doesn't happen to Yamato.
 * Cannot Spit It Out: Yamato has been in love with Sayama for about, oh, seven years.
 * The Chosen One: Sorta. Dunstan prefers him as Ultimo's master, and has gone to lengths to keep him around, but it has been stated by Murayama that Ultimo still could get another master if he had too.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: Oh, so much.
 * Completely Missing the Point: Tends to ramble on about something that, really, has no importance to the matter at hand whatsoever. At least he's a little bit aware of it...
 * Covert Pervert: Some of the glimpses into Yamato's head have shown Sayama in more interesting outfits. (One time wearing nothing at all). Although, Your Mileage May Vary, seeing as he is a 16 year old boy, and has been in love with her for seven years.
 * Chapter 25 shows that in his past life he used to peek on Sayama (who was much younger back then) undressing.
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Typically Yamato is just the normal Idiot Hero, but if you push him too far or mention Sayama, he'll sport a Slasher Smile and start a fight.
 * Curtains Match the Window
 * Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: Yamato jumps at Vice, motivated by the desire to protect Sayama. This causes Ultimo to remember that Yamato's personality and values are the same as they were nine centuries ago, and he takes the opportunity to attack Vice, albeit being broken in half in the process.
 * Disappeared Dad
 * Dumb Is Good
 * Dumb Muscle
 * Expy: His past self looks like Amidimaru and/or Silva from Shaman King.
 * Five-Man Band
 * The Hero
 * Flashback Nightmare: His flashbacks.
 * Forced to Watch: Vice was going to make 12th century Yamato watch his comrades be killed.
 * Hilariously Abusive Childhood: He's outright scared of his mother. Nobody can take it seriously because it's Yamato, though.
 * Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Yamato would be the huge guy in any relationship he has, as he's freakishly tall.
 * Idiot Hero
 * I Just Want to Be Normal: Well, of course Yamato would act like this upon meeting Ultimo and learning about the Hundred Machine Funeral.
 * It Sucks to Be the Chosen One: Yamato can't go one minute without an Evil (or Good) doji either attacking him or asking him for help.
 * Katsuyuki Konishi: His VA in the V comic.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: He doesn't just look like Amidamaru, he sounds like him too!
 * Not to mention Kamina, America and Canada, and Komui Lee.
 * Kid Hero
 * Lolicon: Implied in his past life. He doesn't react to it well.
 * Love At First Sight: With Sayama way back when he was 10.
 * Living with the Villain: Yamato was unaware that Rune became Jealousy's master up to Chapter 9.
 * Mistaken for Gay: By Sayama, resulting in a Crowning Moment of Funny
 * No Indoor Voice
 * Non-Human Sidekick: Subverted, as many believe Ultimo, not Yamato, is the main character.
 * Not What It Looks Like: Happens with Yamato and Ultimo in Chapter 3.
 * Oblivious to Love: Yamato about Rune's crush, up to chapter 10.
 * Ordinary High School Student: Yamato used to be this... until he found out that he was the master of the most powerful doji of Good for 900 years and that he now has to fight with him against Evil in the Hundred Machine Funeral.
 * Papa Wolf / Friend to All Children: He is very protective of children, and has shown he would never hurt one. It seems to be a big reason for his attitude towards Ultimo.
 * He even took care of the kids in his bandit gang.
 * : An attempt by  in Chapter 21.
 * Real Men Don't Cry: AVERTED HARD. He's probably cried more than anyone else in the series. Even Ultimo.
 * Save the Villain: In Chapter 14, Yamato saves Iruma from a repeat of what happened in Chapter 8. He tries again to prevent Musashi from mind-wiping him later on, but.
 * Second Year Protagonist
 * Selective Obliviousness: Yamato, about Rune's crush on him.
 * Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Ultimo and Yamato play this straight with their appearances, and their personalities in general. But, they also subvert it with the fact that Ultimo is a fighting robot, and obviously a lot stronger.
 * Shirtless Scene: After Shirtless Scene, after Shirtless Scene, after, well, you get the point.
 * Shower of Angst: Yamato has one in chapter 4 when Sayama mistakes him for being a child molester.
 * Single Girl Seeks Most Popular Guy: Inverted with Yamato and Sayama. He's a dorky single guy that has a crush on (possibly) the most popular girl in class.
 * Single-Target Sexuality: He really seems to only have an interest in Sayama.
 * Speed Stripes: Yamato has these whenever he's running.
 * Take a Third Option: His plan is to fight or meet all the Doji masters before the Hundred Machine funeral.
 * Teens Are Short: ...compared to Yamato.
 * Too Dumb to Fool: Yamato immediately thinks there something fishy about Iruma's offer in chapter 5, though knowing him from his past life does help.
 * Took a Level In Dumbass: Yes he really does seem to get dumber and dumber each chapter.
 * Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth : In Act 18, when Jealousy reads his heart, he sees a army of Sayamas surrounding him and Yamato, making him realize that he'll die if he tries to perform the pledge with him. Unfortunately, this causes him to notice
 * Younger Than They Look: Yamato seriously looks old enough to be a teacher instead of a student.
 * Younger Than They Look: Yamato seriously looks old enough to be a teacher instead of a student.

Ultimo
""Nine centuries Yamato-sama! Ulti missed you very much!""



The greatest doji of Good. The manga essentially revolves around him. He embodies every good quality a person should have, such as modesty, kindness, and patience. However, there are incidents that imply that Ultimo isn't as nice as he looks. His master is Yamato Agari.

His Karakuri Henge theme are lions and cranes.

Tropes associated with Ultimo:
 * Ambiguously Gay: See Ho Yay / Ship Tease below.

 * Bishie Sparkle: Ultimo does this so much, other characters comment on it.

 * Catch Phrase: "Yes Master/Yamato-sama."
 * Chaste Hero: Ultimo is implied to be this. He never picked up on the awkward atmosphere after the chapter 3 incident, nor does he seem to realize what kind of implications he is causing with how friendly he is with Yamato. Makes a lot of sense though, since he is the embodiment of pure good.
 * Children Are Innocent: Possibly a Deconstruction / Subversion. He's the embodiment of Good, but, the cuteness hides a pretty nasty side of him.
 * Cute and Psycho
 * Cute Is Evil Not Exactley Good
 * Cute Machines

 * Don't Make Me Destroy You: A favorite line of his when fighting Vice.
 * Every Doji Is Better With Sparkles
 * Fan Service: The title page for chapter 16. Bonus points for his expression and pose, not reflecting either one of his personalities.

 * Giant Robot Hands Save Lives: How God Ultimo saves Hana.
 * The Glomp: Ultimo infamously gives these to Yamato whenever he sees him.
 * Good Is Not Nice
 * Green Eyes
 * Green Eyed Red Head
 * Grotesque Cute: Even when Ultimo is in Ax Crazy mode, with his Slasher Smile and all, you have to admit he still looks cute.
 * Hypocrite: Ultimo represents "Good"... but destroys a lot of neighborhood property and threatens to roast Jealousy alive with his rocket boosters while holding very disturbing expressions...
 * Jealousy even calls him out on this in his "The Reason You Suck" Speech. Before, of course, Ultimo smashes him to a pulp.
 * Incorruptible Pure Pureness: Ultimo should be this, but defently isn't.
 * In-Series Nickname: Uru, since the japanese pronouciation of his name is Urutimo.

 * Robotic Psychopath
 * Running Gag: Anytime Ultimo rushes to see Yamato, he breaks glass. Pieces of the glass always fly into Yamato. Usually his face.

 * Time Travel: His Noh power.
 * Thou Shalt Not Kill: He has a hard time remembering this.
 * What the Hell, Hero?: Understatement.
 * You Are What You Hate: Naturally being the good doji, his reason for hating Jealous and Vice would be their violent and evil natures. Jealous has even pointed out his hypocricy.

Musashi Murayama and Sophia

 * Big Man on Campus: Murayama immediately becomes this when he enters Yamato's school.
 * Bishonen: He's so bishonen that girls run and knock over desks just to see him.

 * When He Smiles: He gives a genuine smile to in Chapter 25.
 * You Can't Fight Fate: Murayama comes from the future, and his goal is to stop the Hundred Machine Funeral from happening. He fails the first time, and considering how Dunstan is always meddling with events, he probably can't stop it from happening.

""Who're calling brawny, new guy? Interesting... Shall I smite you with my sword?""

A girl that is part of Sayama's Girl Posse. She's very tall (almost as tall as Yamato, which is quite a feat), but is far from a Gentle Giant.
