{{quote|
Protagonist of the series, a young [[Delinquent]] and first year at Ishiyama High, the delinquent school. At the start of the series he already holds quite a reputation, being known as "Rampaging [[Punny Name|Ogre]]" or the "Strongest Juvenile Delinquent". The story starts as he is telling the story of how he first found Baby Beel to his best (and only?) friend Furuichi. One day while fishing by the river (actually, taking revenge on some gangsters who tried to kill him in his sleep), he sees a man floating down it, pulls him to shore and the man splits in half revealing a baby boy. This boy is the son of the demon king and Oga soon finds he has been chosen as the one to raise it, along with the baby's maid Hilda. The story follows his life as Baby Beel's father, and the events at Ishiyama as he battles for the title of the strongest.
Oga was picked to become Beelzebub's father because he possessed the qualities of the ideal parent for the future Devil King: [[Charles Atlas Superpower|strong]] , [[Jerkass|arrogant]], and a person who [[Sociopathic Hero|thinks-nothing]][[Heroic Comedic Sociopath|-of-fellow-man]] . Despite this Oga isn't completely evil: he only really bullies those stupid enough to attack him in the first place and is willing to stick his neck for his [[True Companions]] without a second thought. He also takes time to teach Baby Beel what it means to be a "real man" (when he's not trying to get rid of him that is). He easily gives in to flattery and is an avid ''[[
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Type V and when you think about it, very little of what he does can he called heroic at all.
** During the Akumano Academy and onward he becomes a Type IV.
* [[Art Evolution]]: The mangaka has started drawing Oga's face softer around the edges, making him look more and more [[Bishounen]] by each chapter. The evolution in his design is coincidentally in line with his recent character development and maturity.
* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: Ishiyama now recognizes him as their new leader after defeating the Tohoshinki one by one.
* [[Badass]]
* [[Badass Abnormal]]
* [[Badass Baritone]]: For a fifteen year old anyway...
* [[Badass Family]]: Somewhat; Oga's older sister was the first leader of the Red Tails, though her abilities have yet to be seen. Whether his parents are (or were) this as well remains to be confirmed.
* [[Badly-Battered Babysitter]]: Constantly getting electrocuted and at one point almost has {{spoiler|his arm blown off by Beel's powers}}.
* [[Battle Couple]]: That's what the whole school ''assumes'' he and Hilda are.
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: with Hilda
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't interfere with his fights and don't mess with his [[True Companions]].
* [[Blood Knight]]: Hasn't turned down a fight in the series so far.
* [[Blue
* [[Body Horror]]: When Baby Beel gets too excited and his powers go haywire, {{spoiler|his arm swells up and almost explodes}}.
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: [[Street Fighter|"Shouryuken!" "Psycho Crusher!"]]
* [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]: Is abnormally strong even without Beel's powers. This is the whole reason he's been able to survive as his parent so far.
* [[Chaste Hero]]: Has shown no interest whatsoever in girls, relationships and other gender-related high school trappings.
* [[Chick Magnet]]: For some reason (and to Furuichi's utter dismay). He himself is completely oblivious (at least consciously), putting him in [[Clueless Chick Magnet]] territory.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Frequently [[Casual Danger Dialogue|reacts to situations]] like no other sane human being would, and spouts [[Insane Troll Logic|absurd aesops]] that he seems to think make perfect sense.
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Pretty much one-shots everyone he fights with {{spoiler|except Tojo, Miki and Aoi}}.
* [[Cutting the Knot]]: If a problem exists, Oga will punch people until it goes away. His solution to an impending tournament arc was to arrive at the site a night early and beat everyone up himself.
* [[Deal
* [[Delinquent]]
* [[Determinator]]: No matter how much damage he takes, even when he's covered in blood, he's still able to get up and keep fighting. The only reason he won against {{spoiler|Tojo}} was because he wanted it so much.
* [[Dismotivation]]: Half the time he seems to forget about his ambition to lay Beel off on somebody else until it becomes relevant to the plot.
* [[Evil Laugh]]
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: He's been appearing shirtless on covers and so forth far more as the series goes on.
* [[Face of a Thug]]: [http://www.mangareader.net/222-15806-15/beelzebub/chapter-1.html No kidding]. It's enough to scare ''{{spoiler|Yolda}}'' shitless...He doesn't seem to realise though.
* {{spoiler|[[Fusion Dance]]}}: When he drinks too much Super Milk.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Several, all of which have been minor and hilarious.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]: Sometimes
* [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath]]: Type V antihero? Check. Sociopathic towards everyone and enjoys being excessively violent? Check. Jerk? Check. Usually gets away with it? Check. It's all [[Played for Laughs]]? Check. Oga is definitively one of these.
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Frequently pointed out by Furuichi. A [[Running Gag]] is that he seems to think everyone else is a bigger idiot than him, and when he encounters anyone particularly clever he asks them ridiculous trivia questions.
** {{spoiler|After tearing through a several dozens of demons to save Hilda, when confronted by needing to solve a sudoku quiz to advance he instantly gives up.}}
* [[Innocent Cohabitation]]: Everyone assumes he and Hilda are sleeping together. In fact, he doesn't even want to live with her.
* [[Invulnerable Knuckles]]
* [[Is That Cute Kid Yours?]]: Except for demons, Furuichi,{{spoiler|Aoi, Saotome, Isafuyu and Ittousai Kunieda,}} everyone is sure Baby Beel is his biological son.
* [[Jerk
** Recent chapters throw him into this category.
* [[Last-Name Basis]]: Everyone refers to him by his last name, except his family obviously. {{spoiler|[[Defrosting Ice Queen|Hilda]] has started to do this recently. Partly explained by her [[Identity Amnesia]], but she still does it even after regaining her memory.}}
* [[Made of Iron]]: He does show realistic damage, however he never seems to notice it and certainly won't let it stop him.
* [[Mark of the Beast]] / [[Power Tattoo]]: The Zebub Spell mark, which grows bigger every time he uses his strength.
* [[Megaton Punch]]: His main method of attack.
* [[Men Don't Cry]]: Sticks to this philosophy.
* [[Mental World]]: He has absolutely no idea what dwells in his. Looks kinda like a some sort of [[Widget Series]] mecha anime on a ton of acid.
* [[Mistaken for Cheating]]
* [[Not What It Looks Like]]: He doesn't get very far trying to explain that Baby Beel isn't his, as his family seem far more willing to believe Hilda than him. Well, that and he's an idiot.
{{quote|
'''Hilda''': What are you saying all of a sudden? After even going as far as [[This and That|that]]. It was honestly amazing... }}
** And half of what he says to Aoi, which he seems to think is entirely platonic, such as asking her to "go out with" him for the park debut, trying to make her Beel's new mother and buying her alter-ego ice cream before having a chat about babysitting.
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Has no clue about Aoi's massive crush on him, despite her blushing whenever she's around him. {{spoiler|Although if we go by what's seen on previous chapters, he's finally beginning to catch on, if only on a subconscious level.}}
* [[One-Man Army]]: When {{spoiler|Hilda}} gets kidnapped, the enemies propose a [[Tournament Arc]] to settle things. Oga then decides "Screw it, that'll take too much time," and after a quick five-minute conversation with his friends, attacks the enemy base head on. By himself. {{spoiler|While he probably would have failed without his eventual backup, he chews through about a third of the army before he even gets winded.}}
* Otaku: Big fan of ''[[
* [[Papa Wolf]]: {{spoiler|He flat out states Beel won't destroy the world because he's his parent and he won't let him do something that stupid. He even managed to turn this trope into a powerup to beat Jabberwock with his ''bare fists''.}}
* [[Perpetual Frowner]]
* [[Progressively Prettier]]
* {{spoiler|[[Power Dyes Your Hair]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Power Gives You Wings]]}}
* [[Promotion to Parent]]: Sort of. Beel isn't actually related to him in any way, but as far as he's concerned Oga is his father.
* [[Psychic Link]]: Played for laughs when he and Furuichi randomly start conversing using telepathy. It's quickly forgotten.
* [[Punch a Wall]]: Punches the ground following his fight with {{spoiler|Tojo}} and a nasty powerup from Beel and subsequently {{spoiler|destroys the school.}}
* [[She's Not My Girlfriend|She's Not My Wife]]: But at this point he doesn't even bother to correct anyone any more.
** In recent chapters, he's begun to issue denials, starting with Tojo.
* [[Slasher Smile]]/[[The Un-Smile]]: Any time he smiles, [[Fangs Are Evil|pointy teeth and all]].
* [[Snark Ball]]
* {{spoiler|[[Super Mode]]}}: Super-milk time!
* [[Suplex Finisher]]: Against {{spoiler|Tojo.}}
* [[Talk to
* [[Tiger Versus Dragon]]: The dragon to Tojo's tiger.
** The kanji for dragon is also in his name.
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Croquettes
* [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist]]
* [[Unwanted Harem]]: The makings of one, which he barely seems to acknowledge, and which Furuichi points out is incredibly unfair considering this.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: With Furuichi.
* [[With Friends Like These...]]: It's understandable ''why'' he has no friends. Why Furuichi sticks around with him is a complete mystery.
* [[Wouldn't Hit a
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: Has taken to using wrestling moves quite a lot in his fights lately.
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: Due to [[Art Evolution]], he's started looking older and older. He's 16.
=== '''Kaiser de Emperana Beelzebub IV aka "Baby Beel"''' ===
{{quote|
{{quote|
Son of the ruler of Hell, he was sent to Earth to destroy humanity in place of his [[Otaku]] father who's too busy to do it personally. But before he can do that he needs to grow up and master his powers, and for that a human contractor who will take the role of parent is needed.
He quickly becomes very attached to Oga, and can always be seen clinging onto Oga's back or sitting on Oga's head. When he becomes agitated or sees blood, he'll often throw a tantrum and will spontaneously electrocute anyone within his vicinity. Without Oga, he is physically weaker than even the average human child, but contact with Oga allows him to unleash his demonic powers.
He understands speech but can't speak himself yet, instead making typical baby noises (often accompanied by subtitles, for instance when conversing with another baby and a household deity) and is always naked with a pacifier in his mouth. He, like Oga, is shown to get angry easily and often copies Oga's movements and mirrors his reactions. He provides most of the story's comic relief.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Anti-Anti-Christ]]: Doesn't seem very concerned about destroying all of humanity. Instead he's quite happy to follow Oga around and get into petty fights, or just act like a regular infant.
** In Chapter 107, Oda declares that {{spoiler|as his father, he will make Beel this.}}
* [[Attack of the
* [[Blood Upgrade]]: Whether it's his or not.
* [[Character Title]]
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Green hair, green eyes.
* {{spoiler|[[Cute Little Fangs]]}}
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: He's terrified of {{spoiler|Miki}} and refuses to have anything to do with him.
** Not exactly terrified but Miki pisses Beelzebub off.
* [[Goo-Goo Godlike]]
* [[Harmless Electrocution]]: Thankfully for Oga. They seem to have eventually dropped the whole "outside of a certain radius, the electric shocks become lethal" aspect of them.
Line 124 ⟶ 127:
* [[Joke Character]]
* [[Like Father, Like Son]]: One of the reasons no one questions that he's Oga's son is because they're just so alike.
** Revisited when Beel gets involved in a [[Love Triangle]] between Kanzaki's niece, Futaba and Izou's littler sister Chiyo (who happen to be blonde and dark-haired respectively).
* [[Moses in
* [[Naked People Are Funny|Naked Babies Are Funny]]
* [[The Noseless]]
* [[No Mouth]]: His mouth is almost always covered with his pacifier.
* [[Only Known
** Actually we find out in chapter 80, that at least [https://web.archive.org/web/20120101135909/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/beelzebub/v07/c080/5.html Oga] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20111231051620/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/beelzebub/v07/c080/10.html Furuichi] just don't remember it. [https://web.archive.org/web/20111231051625/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/beelzebub/v07/c080/11.html Much to Baby Beel's distress.]
* [[Shock and Awe]]: Has the power to electrocute people when he's angry or upset, a power which by extension belongs to Oga as well.
* [[The Symbiote]]: Needs to feed off Oga's strength in order to use his powers properly.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Green Hair]]
=== '''Hildegard''' ===
[[File:hildegarde_1873.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|
{{quote|
Preferring to be known by her nickname, Hilda is the busty, blonde-haired demon maid who helps Oga take care of Beelzebub. She was personally chosen for the position by her master the Demon King and treats this as a great honor. She always dresses in a gothic lolita style and carries a parasol. She's first introduced trying to take Baby Beel back from Oga but failed since at that point he had already became attached. After that she decides to move in with Oga and act as Baby Beel's mother.
Hilda is not to be trifled with as she's every bit as strong, brutal and short-tempered as Oga. She also posses a sharp mind and often works behind the scenes to aid Oga and Beelzebub in their escapades. At first she was skeptical about Oga's ability to be Baby Beel's father, believing he lacks many essential qualities, but after learning more about him and seeing the extent of the trust between the two of them she changes her opinion of him and they start getting along better.
After Ishiyama's group got challenged by the Six Knights {{spoiler|she transferred to Oga's class in order to help them on their way to victory.}}
She seems to care for Lamia, who in turn idolises Hilda for her strength and beauty, and affectionately refers to her as Nee-sama (older sister).
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Action Girl]]

* [[The Comically Serious]]

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: It's a very, very, ''very'' slow proccess given all the other weird stuff going on, but she's been warming up to Oga slightly. {{spoiler|[[Identity Amnesia|Later developments]] seem to be speeding up this proccess somwehat. Then she gets her memories back and forgets everything...well, maybe not everything, as she calls Oga with his first name.}}
* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]: How she dresses, though not necessarily how she acts.
* [[Femme Fatale]]: Uses her looks to her advantage when convincing Oga's family to let her live with them.
** It was less about her looks, and more about manipulating them into thinking that [[Manipulative Bastard|she and Oga]] [[The Baby Trap|had a child together]].
* [[Gag Boobs]]: Bound to happen once in a while, especially it it involves (A) Aoi, who is [[A
* [[Green Eyes]]

After some [[Hilarity Ensues|'help']] from Oga's family, she starts thinking she's actually his wife...and behaves [[Moe|appropriately]], even gaining [[Tareme]] eyes in the proccess! Squee?}}

After the whole incident, Hilda became the only non-relation character in the series to call Oga by his first name, Tatsumi.}}
* [[Only Known

=== '''Takayuki Furuichi''' ===
[[File:Takayuki_9517.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|
{{quote|
Oga's one and only friend, and the first person who knows the truth about Beelzebub. He is also just about the only student who is not a delinquent in the main cast. Despite his lack of fighting ability, he's quite clever and cunning. Expresses a desire to escape the strange events he's become embroiled in, but always gets dragged back into it one way or another. Likes to think of himself as a ladies' man and will never pass up an opportunity to flirt with someone; however, he always fails at it, just like with everything else he does in life.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Action Survivor]]: This kid has been to the demon world, and got through all of the fights Oga has been in without really knowing how to fight at all.
** What about saving the girl and taking down the [[Big Bad]] of the Summer in Hell arc with just a [[Attack of the
* [[The Call Knows Where You Live|Arandron Knows Where You Are And Will Abduct You]]: He is not allowed to go on vacation or even sleep when Oga and the gang want him for something (usually nothing). They make Arandron go kidnap him.
* [[Blue
* [[Bromantic Foil]]
* [[Butt Monkey]]/[[The Chew Toy]]: Nothing ever goes right for him and he's bullied almost constantly.
* [[Casanova Wannabe]]: No one can deny that he tries...
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: He doesn't actually get any though.
* [[Combat Commentator]]: Although sometimes it's just [[Blatant Lies|lies]].
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: As mentioned below the one fight he has fought and won on his own his method of attack involved [[Refuge in Audacity|nearly drowning a baby.]] It worked.
* [[Dirty Coward]]: Unless there is a woman involved.
* [[Fun T-Shirt]]: The anime gives him a shirt with the words [[Butt Monkey|Fool]] [[Bilingual Bonus|1]] written on it. The Okinawa arc adds to the collection by giving him one with the word (and picture of a) [[Dirty Coward|Chicken.]]
* [[Genre Savvy]]: He seems to have a good grasp of the plotline and often points out tropes when or even before they happen.
* [[Guile Hero]]
* [[Jerk
* [[Kidanova]]: His dearest wish.
* [[Knight in Shining Armor]]: He wanted to be this to save Arandron's daughter, Angelica, but, well, not much came of that.
* [[Last-Name Basis]]: He is on this with Oga and everyone calls him by his last name. His first name isn't revealed until about half way through the story, and only mentioned in passing.
* [[Memetic Badass]]: General Furuichi is an ''in-universe'' example, as well as in the fandom. It backfired in universe where everyone just assumed that he was the [[Chessmaster|mastermind]] behind the whole fight.
** Even Oga's mind seems to think he's pretty [[Badass]].
* [[Mistaken for Badass]]: Kazuya (as well as a few others) seem to think he's much cooler, stronger, smarter and good-looking than he really is. Furuichi doesn't deny this. It gets him in trouble (see above).
* [[Mistaken for Pedophile]]: Due to being caught in [[Butt Monkey|several]] [[Not What It Looks Like]] scenes with [[Token
* [[Mr. Exposition]]: Even his buff counterpart in Oga's mind acts as this.
* [[Not What It Looks Like]]: Because he is the [[Butt Monkey]], he had to try and explain [[Macho Camp|Arandron]] moving in with him and talking like he and Furuichi are lovers to his parents.
** Plus the episode when Lamia visits his house...
* [[Only Sane Man]]: He plays this a lot. Poor guy.
* [[Pretty Freeloaders]]: [[Gonk|Arandron]] is living with him. So subverted. Hard.
* [[Psychic Link]]: He gains one with Oga; like a lot of things in the series, it's played for laughs.
* [[Straight Man]]: To everyone else.
* [[Trying to Catch Me Fighting Dirty]]: The one fight he participated in alone that he won, his method of attack involved [[Refuge in Audacity|nearly drowning a baby.]] It worked.
* [[Unlucky Everydude]]
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: He and Oga.
* [[With Friends Like These...]]: This is his and Oga's relationship.

{{quote|
One of the servants of Beel. He basically serves as a sort of... umm, [[Bag of Holding|humanoid storage device.]] Currently rooms with Furuichi, which has led to [[Hilarity Ensues|a LOT of fun]]. Also, considering how he looks, [[Ambiguously Gay|EVERYONE suspected he was gay.]] [[The Ugly
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: Furuichi does not appreciate his affection, or obsession. Arandron talks about Furuichi to his daughter using the [[Japanese Honorifics|honorific "sama"]] [[Rule of Funny|for whatever reason]]. The anime takes this trope [[Exaggerated Trope|and runs full steam with it.]]
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: No surprise here.
* [[Bag of Holding]]: His purpose. Has also led to a lot of "[[Double Entendre|inside jokes]]" with Furuichi.
* [[Disney Death]]: Most DEFINITELY parodied in the Demon World Arc.
* [[Macho Camp]]: Definitely no surprise here. Turned [[Up to Eleven]] in the anime if you can believe it.
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: He's based off Freddie Mercury and named after French actor Alain Delon.
* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]
* [[Stalker
* [[Teleporters and Transporters]]: A living teleporter.
* [[The Ugly
** Mind you, some people still think he's gay. (It's like [[No Bisexuals|bisexuality]] is an unknown concept.)
=== '''Dr Forkas Rachmaninnor''' ===
{{quote|
The ''real'' imperial doctor, who is also pretty dang awesome, just for showing up to the party [[Awesome McCoolname|with a name like his...]]
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Actually, That's My Assistant]]: Lamia was believed to be the doctor of Beel until he showed up.
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Have you seen it?
* [[Nice Hat]]: The only item of clothing he wears.
* [[Playing Both Sides]]: {{spoiler|Claims to be on the side of the sick, and heals both Hilda and the demons that work for Behemoth's group after the attack.}}
* [[The Faceless]]: Sort of. When he first appears in the human world he uses a muumuu body, which is basically a slime with two eyes, arms and a hat.

=== '''Lamia''' ===
{{quote|
A [[Deadpan Snarker|very snarky]], [[Bratty Half-Pint|very young]] demon who initially tricked Oga into thinking she was Baby Beel's doctor... at least until the real doc showed up. She is devoted to Beel and seems to admire Hildegard but dislike almost everyone else.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Actually, That's My Assistant]]: Was thought to be Beel's doctor until the REAL doctor showed up.
* [[Boom! Headshot!]]: The way she gets Oga to enter his [[Mental World]].
* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]: Most definitely this.
* [[Head Pet]]: Has a little ghost who tends to hang around.
* [[Magic Skirt]]

Baby Beel's daddy and ruler of Hell, [[Cloudcuckoolander|who also happens to be a total nut job]]. Vows to destroy the Earth every so often, but is always too busy to go through with it.

The {{spoiler|older brother}} to Beel, he is sent to destroy Earth due to Beel taking too long, but decides video games are more important than his duties. He has three demon maids of his own: Isabella, Yolda and Sachura.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: To Lamia.
* [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]
* [[Disco Dan]]: The most advanced consoles he knows are the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] and [[Sega Genesis]], at least until he goes to the human world.

=== '''Yolda''' ===
{{quote|
She bears a strong resemblance to Hilda and carries a mop with her, which she uses as a weapon much as Hilda uses her parasol. The two seem to have an unsettled score and Yolda positively despises Hilda. She is also able to move very quickly and knocks Furuichi and Kunieda out easily. In contrast to Hilda, she has a [[Femme Fatale]] attitude. It is later revealed that she is a dimensional transfer demon like Alaindelon; her powers are said to be even greater than his, and she is able to distort dimensions and create sections of space detached from the physical world. It is later revealed that she is {{spoiler|Hilda's sister}}.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}

Behemoth's army of demons who are going to {{spoiler|"help" En destroy the world}}. Have currently taken over Ishiyama High and turning it into Akumano Academy...''right as the main cast was about to go back to it'' resulting in a rivalry (partially sparked by Furuichi who had united everyone under tales of a mysterious Akumano Academy without knowing it actually existed).

== Ishiyama High ==
The school that Oga attends, basically filled with a buttload of delinquents. In essence, it's the school that no parent in their right mind would ever send their kid to. EVER. Ruled over by the pseudo-Student Council Tohoshinki, the students of Ishiyama High get into a whole lot of trouble, all of the time.

Line 495 ⟶ 502:
The four leaders of the delinquent forces at Ishiyama High. Tōhōshinki is an acronym of their respective last names, Hidetora Tojo, Aoi Kunieda, Hajime Kanzaki, and Tatsuya Himekawa.
They serve as the primary antagonists for the first part of the manga. Their conflict with Oga was caused by his quest to find someone even stronger and more evil than himself on whom he could force Beelzebub, which they took as him trying to usurp their power.
Tōhōshinki aren't coherent group but rather rivals who fought among themselves over domination of Ishiyama (except for Toujou who did not care about the whole thing and even had problems reorganizing the others). This comes to an end after Oga defeats them and briefly unifies the whole school under himself.
After {{spoiler|Ishiyama High is destroyed, the Tōhōshinki together with their top subordinates are put in the same class as Oga and Furuichi and ally with them to defeat the Six Knights.}}

The constant teaming up has been [[Character Development|slowly and tactfully]] making them much more friendly with each other. If this continues, it could even result in [[Fire-Forged Friends]] and [[Five-Man Band]]}}.
* [[Four Is Death]]
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: Sort of. Kanzaki seems to be choleric, Himakawa is sort of phlegmatic, Aoi tends to be melancholic, which leaves Tojo to be... [[Genki Girl|ARE YOU KIDDING?!?!?!]]
* [[Necessary Evil]]: Not the nicest of people, but after Oga starts beating them, lower level [[Delinquents]] who they previously held in check start getting out of hand.

{{quote|
The first boss taken on by Oga in his quest to be rid of Baby Beel. Kanzaki's gang was one of the most feared gangs in Ishiyama, and his reputation for malice and extreme violence was the reason Oga sought him out in the first place. However, after Kanzaki humiliates and attacks Shiroyama, his most loyal subordinate, an enraged Oga defeats him, upon which he loses his reputation and much of his retinue, save for Natsume and Shiroyama.
Kanzaki has mellowed out much after his defeat and began to consider Natsume and Shiroyama as friends rather than subordinates, and became much more loyal to Oga and the rest of his schoolmates in Ishiyama.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Actor Allusion]]: During the New Year parody of ''[[Journey to the West]]'' Himekawa calls him [[Gintama|Gin-san]]. <ref>He was portraying Ginkaku </ref>
* [[Bad Boss]]: Initially he treated everyone under him like crap {{spoiler|He still does but takes offense to others treating his subordinates like crap.}}
* [[Berserk Button]]: Pulling that chain on his face looks awfully tempting, but it gets him seriously pissed off and gives him a [[Unstoppable Rage|huge power boost.]]
Line 524 ⟶ 530:
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: When someone tries to use his niece as a hostage, Hajime calls them on it... only for his subordinates to point out that is exactly the sort of thing he has done before.
* [[If You're So Evil Eat This Kitten]]: His way of testing Oga's loyalty to him, it predictably backfires.
* [[I Can Still Fight]]: He and Himekawa pull this trope while fighting Tojo's underlings.
** Also tries something similar during the rooftop battle with the Six Knights.
* [[Jerkass]] -> [[Jerk
* [[Kick Them While They Are Down]]
* [[Miles Gloriosus]]: Heads down this path after Oga beats him but technically is a good fighter that gets into fights WAY over his head.
* [[Overshadowed

=== '''Tatsuya Himekawa''' ===
{{quote|
A member of the Tohoshinki and the second member that Oga takes on in his quest to be rid of Baby Beel. At first he is seen as a suave, devilishly smooth mafioso style guy, sporting an 80's style outfit and a ridiculous pompadour. After meeting Oga, however, we then see him become [[Badass Decay|almost entirely useless]].
Himekawa is the sole heir of a large financial zaibatsu, and almost always uses his immense wealth to have his way. Unluckily for him, his money was not able to buy Oga off, the latter promptly giving him the beating of his life. He now regularly uses his wealth to assist the Ishiyama Gang in their escapades. He is also shown to be [[Bishonen|quite handsome]] [[She Cleans Up Nicely|when he doesn't sport his trademark pompadour]].

* [[Batman Gambit]]: Pulled one on the fly to avoid being expelled and to force a confrontation with the Six Knights, which not only saved him, Oga and his group from being kicked out of the school but also got the Six Knights to lose their authority.
* [[Blackmail Is Such an Ugly Word]]: Never outright says it, but considering his actions...
* [[Captain Smooth and Sergeant Rough]]: He's the Smooth to Kanzaki's Rough, considering his use of bribery to get what he wants.

* [[Lonely Rich Kid]]: Recent chapters of the manga showed hints of this.
* [[Not-So-Harmless Villain]]: Whenever he can't throw his money around he's usually lumped in with mediocre fighters like Kanzaki, but then he electrocutes an entire gang with a custom taser-whip and coolly drops one of them off a high rooftop just to prove a point.
{{quote|
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Not like Furuichi or Aoi.
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]: His initial belief that if you can't beat them, [[Every Man Has His Price|buy them out]].
** He uses it again when playing a videogame against {{spoiler|En and his maids}}... but to be fair, he didn't use this trope until the other side started to cheat.
* [[Secretly Wealthy]]: Being the son of the "Himekawa Group" it's not really a secret that he is rich. The extent being that {{spoiler|he ''owns a luxury building'' just for himself, is something everyone finds out later when he shows off the place offhandedly}}.

She dons a [[Paper-Thin Disguise|disguise]] and a fake name when taking care of her little brother in the park or other places so as not to be embarrassed or confused as his mother.

In the anime Himekawa knows as well.
* [[Horrible Judge of Character]]: Liking Oga makes this trope more or less a given.
** She seems to realize that he acts much more kindly to her alter ego than he generally acts at school. It should also be noted that Oga may act like a jerk to a lot of people, but actually treats Aoi without that much hostility.

* [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Woman]] of Ishiyama's special class.
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Her alter-ego, Aoi Kunie (which she adopted when taking care of Kota) is her wearing girly clothes, a bucket hat, and glasses with her hair in pigtails.

{{quote|
{{quote|
The last of the Tōhōshinki to be introduced and by far the strongest one, Tojo (Tora to his friends) could have taken over Ishiyama any time he wanted if he actually cared about it. He loves nothing more than a good fight and has power to back it up, being the first man to ever beat Oga in a fight.
He's... actually a pretty nice guy who won't bother those who don't want to fight with him. He loves cute things like babies and cats. When he's not beating someone up he's usually doing some kind of part-time job (exactly what job changes with each appearance).
After {{spoiler|Oga destroyed Ishiyama High}} the two of them ended up in the same class (along with the rest of main cast) and teamed up against Six Knights. They get along now, which doesn't stop them from engaging in fights almost every time they meet.
He has past with Zen, a mysterious demon contractor who took care of him when Tojo was a kid. {{spoiler|As it's turns out, their newest teacher Saotome is in fact Zen}}.
As of the current arc {{spoiler|he accidentally got into a fight with demons targeting Baby Beel and received heavy wounds. After receiving basic training from Zen on how to fight demons, he went off on his own to train and will assist Furuichi with the incoming battle against Behemoth's army }}.

** When he fights an opponent who has a supersonic swords, [[Up to Eleven|he punches it and breaks it.]]
* [[Cuteness Proximity]]
* [[Determinator]]: Probably the biggest in the series. {{spoiler|After fighting Izuma who was using demon powers most of the night, he takes on a full demon and [[Curb Stomp Cushion|holds his own]].}}

* [[Friendly Enemy]]: He and Oga seem to get on all right nowadays.
