== Diary Holders ==
 
=== '''Yukiteru Amano - The 1st''' ===
{{quote|''Voiced by Misuzu Togashi''}}
[[File:Yukiteru.png|frame]]
Line 48 ⟶ 50:
** In messages and diary entries, ユッキ― is normally used, which is romanized as "Yukkii".
* [[Tears of Fear]]: He tends to do this often in the beginning.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Hey, it was bound to happen eventually. He ditches the darts in favor of a machine gun, for one.
* {{spoiler|[[Took a Level in Jerkass]]}}
* [[Useless Protagonist]]: He lets Yuno do most of the fighting in the beginning.
* [[Weak but Skilled]]: For a long time he's not much of a fighter, but Yuki is arguably the most skilled at using his diary both in and out of combat.
 
-----
 
=== '''Yuno Gasai - The 2nd''' ===
[[File:Yuno.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|''Voiced by Tomosa Murata''}}
Line 66 ⟶ 68:
* {{spoiler|[[Alternate Timeline]]: The Yuno that's currently obsessed with 'Yukki' is from one, and the third corpse is from the current world.}}
* [[Always Save the Girl|Always Save The Guy]]
* [[The All -Solving Hammer]]: {{spoiler|Yuno often resorts to pulling out her knife to deal with troubling situations. She uses a literal hammer to screw destiny and smash apart the space-time continuum to rescue Yukiteru at the end of the manga.}}
* {{spoiler|[[All Take and No Give]]: Yuno tries to convince herself and Yuki that their love has been fake, and they have been merely using one another, Yuki using Yuno as a guard whilst Yuno used Yuki as emotional support. She fails to convince Yuki or herself.}}
* [[Anti-Villain]]
Line 91 ⟶ 93:
* [[Dull Eyes of Unhappiness|Dull Eyes of Psychosis]] In episode 11 of the anime when {{spoiler|she and Yukki are taken into the police station for questioning her eyes go dull when she decides to try to find a weapon}}.
* [[Elevator Snare]]: In their first meeting, Yuno forces her way into an elevator, corners the terrified Yuki, and then gives him his [[First Kiss]]. Cue the [[Uncomfortable Elevator Moment]], at least for Yuki.
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Yuno just can't help herself from ''laughing her butt off'' when she succeeds at manipulating Yuki into killing Hinata.
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]: Much like [[Darkstalkers|B.B. Hood/ Bulleta]], Yuno goes from squeaky and adorable to guttural and menacing whenever she's incredibly pissed.
* [[Feminine Women Can Cook]]: Uses it to impress Yukiteru's mother. How feminine she is is up for debate though, considering {{spoiler|her fallback plan if that didn't work was to use her "tools."}}
Line 108 ⟶ 110:
* [[Karma Houdini]]: She has racked up the highest body count in the entire series. {{spoiler|She's also responsible for the death of Yuki's friends, particularly Akise who she finished off herself.}} Yet {{spoiler|she still gets her HAPPY END with Yuki despite the fact she just killed one of his best friends in cold blood.}} And she hasn't been punished for this and even if she's yelled at, [[Easily Forgiven|it doesn't last long.]]
* [[Knife Nut]]: When a psycho toddler has it in for her, gasses the house, shocks her with a broken lamp, and wounds her inconveniently bare feet with thumbtacks, she finally reaches into the kitchen drawers and grabs the sharpest knife she sees for a showdown with the brat.
* [[Kubrick Stare]]: Gives Yuki a seriously terrifying glare through his letterbox - while wishing him a ''good night''.
* [[Lack of Empathy]]: To everyone other than Yukiteru. {{spoiler|When Tsubaki told her that she was going to destroy the world after becoming god Yuno's only gripe with that was that it would also kill Yukiteru. Late in the series she outright states that she doesn't care how many more people she'll kill in the future, because they are all useless pawns and because they'll be revived anyway after she goes back in time again (ignoring the fact that [[Alternate Timeline|technically they would be different people]]).}}
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: She is faster than most characters and hits very hard.
Line 116 ⟶ 117:
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: throughout the series but is most impressive in {{spoiler|episode 22}} also including a {{spoiler|[[Batman Gambit]].}}
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Her full name can be read as "my wife Yuno". Seeing as Yukiteru is named for Jupiter though, the kanji for Yuno's given name is really "Juno" read as Yuno (In central European languages the letter J is pronounced like what Y is pronounced in English), so even more fittingly for Yukiteru, is the reading "my wife, Juno". Which is fitting, because Juno, just like her Greek-counterpart Hera, can get mad easily at anyone that stole Jupiter/Zeus' love, and will chase them down to the end of Earth (Then there's the fact that Juno is a war goddess too)
* [[Murder Is the Best Solution]] [[Murder the Hypotenuse|Especially For The Hypotenuse]]: In her own words "Everyone who comes between me and Yukki can just die!" Probably comes with the whole Yandere thing.
* [[Not Good with Rejection]]: And HOW.
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Though there were earlier hints, [[Fridge Logic]] tells you she has been displaying this the entire story. {{spoiler|We find out she has played the survival game through before, so either she pretends not to know, or has [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|repressed it]] completely.}}
* [[Offscreen Teleportation]]
* [[Pants-Free]]: Yuno seems especially fond of this when there is an unconscious Yuki around.
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Combination of types C and D.
Line 142 ⟶ 143:
** [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]
** [[Wide Eyes and Shrunken Irises]]: Made much more apparent in the anime during her crazier moments.
* [[Uncanny Valley Girl]]:
* [[Unskilled but Strong]]: Polar opposite of Yukki, in that her diary is almost completely useless except when paired with Yukki's, she is actually one of the strongest fighters. The only ones shown to best her in combat being {{spoiler|Sevenths and Akise.}}
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: {{spoiler|Subverted in the later chapters when she becomes Yukiteru's enemy. She [[Zig-Zagging Trope|doubles back]] on that after she kills herself instead of him, though.}}
Line 154 ⟶ 155:
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: By Episode 15 that is.
 
-----
 
=== '''Takao Hiyama - The 3rd''' ===
{{quote|''Voiced by Jin Domon''}}
 
Line 164 ⟶ 165:
* [[Coat, Hat, Mask]]
* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Apparently the costume he wears is not only bulletproof but somehow also ''bombproof''. {{spoiler|This comes in handy when Minene attacks him in ''Mosaic'', as she quickly learns that [[Throw Down the Bomblet|her usual battle tactics]] are useless against him.}}
* [[Implacable Man]]: While he doesn't get a chance to show this off in the main series, he proved himself to be this in ''Mosaic'' {{spoiler|during his confrontation with Minene. He kept coming after her unrelentingly and wasn't even slowed down by the bombs exploding around him and by being shot at.}} Pity that [[Achilles' Heel|his diary is nowhere near as invulnerable as the man himself]].
* [[Malevolent Masked Man]]
* [[Meaningful Name]]: The kanji in his last name, Hiyama, is read as "volcano". The Roman god in the Dii Consentes that he is associated with? Vulcan.
Line 172 ⟶ 173:
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: A machete.
 
-----
 
=== '''Keigo Kurusu - The 4th''' ===
[[File:Keigo.png|frame]]
{{quote|''Voiced by Masahiko Tanaka''}}
Line 195 ⟶ 196:
* {{spoiler|[[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: He betrays Yukiteru and Yuno in order to save his son.}}
 
-----
 
=== '''Reisuke Houjou - The 5th''' ===
[[File:Reisuke.png|frame]]
{{quote|''Voiced by [[Asami Sanada]]''}}
Line 204 ⟶ 205:
 
* {{spoiler|[[Abusive Parents]]/[[Parental Neglect]]: We see that Reisuke's parents weren't a happy family like we were made to believe. His parents were often fighting and he would be left in the corner of the room by himself. Now whether this contributed to his creepy tendencies is the series is up to interpretation, but one thing is for certain. He was seriously happy being taken care of by Yuki's mother.}}
* [[Big Screwed-Up Family]]: Considers Yuki, Yuno, and Yuki's mom to be his ideal family. Calling Yuki and Yuno, big brother and big sister respectively. He considers trying to kill Yuki and Yuno a game. Yuno in turn, wants to kill him. And of course, Yuno is Yuki's creepy and violent stalker. Not exactly a well adjusted "family" (aside from Yuki's mom and arguably Yuki at least).
* [[Blush Sticker]]
* {{spoiler|[[Cheerful Child]]: In Paradox because his parents aren't killed.}}
Line 212 ⟶ 214:
* [[Evil Redhead]]
* [[Infant Immortality]]: {{spoiler|Brutally subverted.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Go Out with a Smile]] ''and'' [[Graceful Loser]]: After asking Yuno what will she do when she and Yukki face each other, Reisuke tells her to win The Game and dies smiling. Furthermore, he congratulates her and give her the antidote to the poison, and assures her it's the real deal, claiming that with his death assured, he wouldn't gain anything from it being a trick. His Diary reflects his last thoughts: "Hojou Reisuke is killed by Gasai Yuno. DEAD END. . . But I'm very happy!".}}
* [[Hand Puppet]]: He carries a pair of hand puppets around with him, which he talks to as though they were real.
* [[Leitmotif]]: Chiptunes.
Line 223 ⟶ 225:
*** Double subverted in ''Mosaic'' where he reveals that he really does love his parents despite what happens.
* [[Slasher Smile]]: A master of this. Particularly in the anime's second opening.
* [[Tyke Bomb]]: How else does a 4-year-old know so much about hydrocyanic acid and other poisons?
 
-----
 
=== '''Tsubaki Kasugano - The 6th''' ===
[[File:TsubakiMN.png|frame]]
{{quote|''Voiced by [[Eri Sendai]]''}}
Line 235 ⟶ 236:
* [[Berserker Tears|Angry Tears]]: {{spoiler|Tsubaki cries these when her diary is destroyed in the manga right after she sees her old handball.}}
** [[Tears of Remorse]]: What they are in the anime.
* [[Attempted Rape]]: {{spoiler|Tsubaki orders the cult members to strip and gang-rape the captive Yuno, in an attempt to lure the escaped Yukiteru out. He pulls a [[Big Damn Heroes]] and stops her.}}
* [[Broken Bird]]
* {{spoiler|[[Cry for the Devil]]}}
Line 257 ⟶ 258:
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Long black hair reaching her hips.
** All the way down to her feet [http://www.future-diary.tv/chara/6th.html in the anime].
* {{spoiler|[[Religion of Evil]]}}: The Omekata cult that she belongs to {{spoiler|or rather, is imprisoned by. The [[Alternate Timeline]] shows them as a more benevolent group, though. It helps that the Kasuganos were still alive to lead it well.}}
** Even more tragic is the fact that {{spoiler|in Paradox it's revealed that her parents were actually about to disband the cult in order to let Tsubaki lead a normal life. However, the second-in-command Funatsu wasn't having any of that, so he offed Tsubaki's parents before they could do so, trapping her in the cult as a sex slave.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Scars Are Forever]]: Yuno chops off her left hand, therefore she can't handle the heavy "Thousand Leagues Eyes Diary" and is open for Yukki's definitive attack with his darts.}}
Line 269 ⟶ 270:
** {{spoiler|[[Cute and Psycho]]: What she truly is.}}
 
-----
 
=== '''Marco Ikusaba and Ai Mikami - The 7th''' ===
{{quote|''Voiced by [[Tomokazu Seki]] and [[Natsuko Kuwatani]]''}}
 
Line 283 ⟶ 284:
* [[Curtains Match the Windows]]: Both of them.
* [[Eighties Hair]]: Marco sports a long, curled perm.
* {{spoiler|[[Graceful Loser|Graceful Losers]]s: When it becomes obvious that they are going to die, they don't take Yukiteru and Yuno down with them and even give them their last parachute, making it possible for the two to escape from Sakurami Tower.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice]]: Marco ended up impaled with a metal pipe during 7ths' second battle with Yukiteru and Yuno. Though it probably wasn't this but rather the collapse of the Sakurami Tower that killed him.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Interrupted Suicide]]}}: Marco, in the anime.
Line 298 ⟶ 299:
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Ai's hair is blue.
 
-----
 
=== '''Kamado Ueshita - The 8th''' ===
{{quote|''Voiced by [[Hiromi Konno]]''}}
 
Line 309 ⟶ 310:
* [[Harmless Villain]]: She doesn't want to win the game, and relatively speaking she hasn't shown herself to be nearly as crazy or murderous as the other Diary Holders.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Kamado can mean "hearth", which is one of the domains that Vesta was goddess over. "Ueshita" sounds like "Vesta" (Ueshita/Weshita/Wesuta). Just as well, Ueshita runs an [[Orphanage of Love]] and gives a place for orphans to stay, and Vesta was also the goddess of family and the home.
* [[Non -Standard Character Design]]: ...to say the least.
* {{spoiler|[[Obi-Wan Moment]]: Before dying, she asks Yuki to create a new world where children can live without worries}}
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Comes across as this by the time Yuki snaps.
Line 316 ⟶ 317:
 
 
-----
 
=== '''Minene Uryu - The 9th''' ===
[[File:Minene.png|frame]]
{{quote|''Voiced by [[Mai Aizawa]]''}}
Line 329 ⟶ 330:
* {{spoiler|[[Babies Ever After]]: 2nd world Minene with 3rd world Masumi. Much to the chagrin of her husband, he still has to catch and arrest his wife's counterpart, who is still a terrorist.}}
** {{spoiler|As a bonus, her babies (most likely twins) have super powers due to her receiving some of Deus' powers.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]}}
* [[Badass]]
** {{spoiler|[[Badass Abnormal]]}}
Line 350 ⟶ 351:
* [[Divine Intervention]]: Experienced this in the first chapter of ''Mosaic'' {{spoiler|and later on in the main story}}.
* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]: She prefers this style of dress.
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Parents Want Good Kids]]}}: For all of Minene's terrorism, {{spoiler|she seems to make a decent stay-at-home mom.}}
* [[Expy]]: Of Misato from Evangelion, both in terms of looks and in partnership with Yukiteru, who is Shinji's expy.
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: Which came after being subjected to [[Eye Scream]] {{spoiler|by the 12th.}}
Line 367 ⟶ 368:
* [[Licked by the Dog]]: She seems to be liked by a group of wild squirrels which follow her around.
* [[Love Redeems]]: Kinda. {{spoiler|She gives up terrorism and marries Nishijima in the third world, but her other terrorist-bomber self is still running around there.}}
* [[Mad Bomber]]: She bombs churches and assassinates religious figures.
* [[Master of Disguise]]
* [[Meaningful Name]]: As it turns out, Minene is named for ''two'' gods. Her first name, Minene, is an obvious corruption of Minerva, but her last name also contains the kanji for rain 雨 (''ame''), which corresponds to Neptune in the Dii Consentes. It still makes sense though, since Minerva and Neptune are usually paired together in the Dii Consentes.
Line 391 ⟶ 392:
* [[Throw Down the Bomblet]]
* {{spoiler|1=[[Touched by Vorlons]]: Received half of Deus' remaining power when he noticed MuruMuru was unfairly influencing the game to go in Yuno's favor. Deus was hoping that she would use his power to help set the game back on track, and while she did try to honor his request, Yukiteru's decision to [[Screw Destiny]] and help the 3rd world's Yuno made her change course.}}
* [[Deuteragonist|Tritagonist]]: Either she or Akise fit into this role.
* [[Tsundere]]: According to MurMur.
* [[Wild Card]]
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]
 
-----
 
=== '''Karyuudo Tsukishima - The 10th''' ===
{{quote|''Voiced by Hirokazu Hiramatsu''}}
 
Line 412 ⟶ 413:
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: He cares more for his dogs than for his child.
 
-----
 
=== '''John Balks - The 11th''' ===
{{quote|''Voiced by [[Takaya Hashi]]''}}
 
Line 436 ⟶ 437:
* [[Villain with Good Publicity]]: Actually contributes to his downfall.
 
-----
 
=== '''Yomotsu Hirasaka - The 12th''' ===
{{quote|''Voiced by Yoshihisa Kawahara''}}
 
[[File:Yomotsu-The-12th-mirai-nikki-14737031-90-120_936120 936.jpg|frame]]
 
A blind man who wants to be a superhero. His "Justice Diary" is an audio recorder that warns him of acts of "injustice" before they occur. It also gives him some sort of hypnosis power. While he claims to be a "Hero of Justice", his actions mark him more as a crazed vigilante.
Line 456 ⟶ 457:
* [[The Faceless]]: He likes to wear a mask, and his face is never clearly shown {{spoiler|until the last episode of the anime}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Attempts one after learning he has a Dead End to take out Tsubaki, but fails when he attacks Yuki, Yuno and Tsubaki, Yuno slashing his throat with an axe. However, this may have been intentional since Yomotsu opened Yuki's mind to the possibility Tsubaki was misleading him - [[The Cuckoolander Was Right|she was]].}}
* [[Heroic Wannabe]]:
* [[Knight Templar]]: Littering and murder are crimes which deserve equal punishment.
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Limp and Livid]]
Line 467 ⟶ 468:
* [[Transformation Sequence]]: His "transformation" sequence (which is simply him putting on the different articles of his costume and screeching "HENSHIIIN" the entire time) falls somewhere between hilarious and disturbing.
* [[Vigilante Man]]: Goes back and forth between a heroic and villainous type.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: [[Invoke|Invokes]]s this trope.
 
=== '''Azami Kirisaki - The 13th''' ===
{{quote|''Voiced by [[Yuu Asakawa]]''}}
 
Line 483 ⟶ 484:
== Supporting Characters ==
 
=== '''Deus Ex Machina''' ===
{{quote|''Voiced by [[Norio Wakamoto]]''}}
 
Line 490 ⟶ 491:
* [[A God Am I]]: Well, he really ''is'' a God, but he actively goads the other diary holders into this behavior to encourage them in the game.
* [[Akashic Records]]: He has it.
* [[Barrier Maiden]]: Reality isn't robust enough to exist without a powerful god maintaining it. Makes having a successor pretty important. {{spoiler|That said, it's not like the whole thing is destroyed the moment after the god maintaining it dies.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Divine Intervention]]: He does this to prevent Minene's death.}}
* {{spoiler|[[God Is Dead|God Is Dying]]}}: Part of the reason why he created the survival game.
* [[God Is Evil]]: Sure, he's about to die and taking the world down with him, but picking his successor by forcing mostly innocent people to fight a battle royale for the lulz?
** [[God Is Flawed]]: He leans a bit closer to this in that he wants the survival game to play out fairly between the players and without outside intervention from himself or MurMur, and honestly can't see the problem in it so long as he's kept entertained and his successor is chosen. He is also very willing to {{spoiler|cancel the whole game entirely}} when John Balks decides to {{spoiler|stop the Future Diary Project from developing further in the third world}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Half Truth]]: When Yukiteru asks him to revive Rea, Deus replies than it's impossible. When questioned why that is so, he states that he's dying and losing his power. While he doesn't outright lie, the way he phrases his reply makes it look like it's only impossible for him in particular and that the new god will be able to revive Rea; he doesn't mention that even a god would only be able to revive the body but not the soul. As his later conversation with Akise shows, it's not that Deus himself isn't aware of this.}}
* [[Imaginary Friend]]: Yuki at first believes Deus to be one. Turns out he isn't.
** [[Not-So-Imaginary Friend]]
* [[It Amused Me]]: Another part of his reason for creating the game.
* [[Jerkass]]
** [[Jerkass God]]
Line 505 ⟶ 507:
* {{spoiler|[[Your Days Are Numbered]]}}
 
-----
 
=== '''MurMur''' ===
{{quote|''Voiced by Manami Honda''}}
[[File:Murumuru_thumb_4937Murumuru thumb 4937.jpg|frame]]
 
Deus Ex Machina's servant, who takes the form of a dark-skinned little girl. {{spoiler|She is not as loyal to him as anyone was led to believe.}}
Line 519 ⟶ 521:
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: She's a silly character for the most part (despite the occasional slip up, like the incident that sets up the storyline for ''Paradox''), but she knows how to do her job. {{spoiler|And she is '''a lot''' more competent and devious than she first appears.}}
* [[Butt Monkey]]: In ''Paradox''. Might lean into being [[The Chew Toy]] depending on the fans that read the story.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]
* {{spoiler|[[Deceptive Disciple]] / [[Bastard Understudy]]}}: {{spoiler|Subverted in the end. It turns out she was loyal to Yuno, most likely because she became god in the first world.}}
* {{spoiler|1=[[Enigmatic Minion]]: Towards the middle of the story, MurMur starts hinting that she knows more than she lets on, perhaps more than Deus, and manipulates the game accordingly. Her true purpose isn't revealed until the full story about Yuno being MurMur's real god comes to light.}}
* [[Jerkass]]: Mainly toward Akise. Otherwise, she mostly enjoys [[Troll|screwing around with everyone else.]]
* {{spoiler|[[Just Between You and Me]]: Shows Yukiteru the past events of the first world right after Yuno starts to attack him to "make the game more interesting". Since she was working under Yuno, she was probably expecting him to die right after showing him the past world. And she would've been right had it not been for Minene's interference.}}
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Named for the Goetic demon Murmur. She also carries a small trumpet on her hip to reinforce the namesake.
** She eventually {{spoiler|wears a crown just like the Murmur from myth is said to wear after Deus death.}}
Line 535 ⟶ 537:
* [[Verbal Tic]]: Ends every sentence with "-noja", the equivalent of the standard Japanese explanatory expression "-noda" in some Western Japanese dialects<ref>namely, the ones spoken in Okayama, Hiroshima and Yamaguchi prefectures, according to the [http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E8%AA%9E%E3%81%AE%E6%96%B9%E8%A8%80%E3%81%AE%E6%AF%94%E8%BC%83%E8%A1%A8#.E8.BF.91.E7.95.BF.E3.81.8B.E3.82.89.E4.B8.AD.E5.9B.BD.E3.81.AB.E3.81.8B.E3.81.91.E3.81.A6.EF.BC.88.E5.B1.B1.E9.99.BD.E9.81.93.EF.BC.89 Japanese] [[The Other Wiki|Other Wiki]].</ref>
 
-----
 
[[File:Akise.png|frame]]
 
=== '''Aru Akise''' ===
{{quote|''Voiced by [[Akira Ishida]]''}}
 
Line 549 ⟶ 551:
* [[Badass Normal]]: He doesn't have a Future Diary, but he can still go toe-to-toe with Diary Holders. {{spoiler|[[Badass Abnormal|He gets one later, and it's the most powerful one yet.]]}}
** {{spoiler|[[Badass Abnormal]]: After he's revealed to be an [[Artificial Human]] created by Deus to observe the game, he receives a future diary through the 8th's server system and uses it to become a terrifying opponent for even ''Yuno''.}}
** {{spoiler|1=[[Didn't See That Coming]]: Yuno having two Diaries. Of course no one besides MurMur or Yuno would have seen it coming.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Barehanded Blade Block]]: In the manga during Yukiteru's and Yuno's last fight with 11th he saves 8th from Yuno by grabbing the blade of Yuno's sword when she's attacking her.}}
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Akise is one of the nicer characters in the series. He rarely gets pissed off even when Yuno tries to kill him multiple times. {{spoiler|The only time he lost it was when he spared Yuno and she responds by calling Yuki and lying to him and manipulates him to kill his friends.}}
* [[Bishie Sparkle]]: In ''Paradox'', especially in chapter 3.
* [[Bishounen]]
* [[Bi the Way]]: If ''Paradox'' is ''anything'' to go off of. <ref>In which he insists very clearly he is not gay, and seems to have a weird fondness for Tsubaki Kasugano, despite the undeniable [[Ho Yay]] with Yukiteru.</ref>
* [[Bodyguard Crush]]: On Yuki.
* {{spoiler|[[Break the Cutie]]: His confrontation with Deus. It's a real shocker to find out that you're not even human and then denied the things that made you you. The pride in his detective skills as well as his love for Yuki were denied by God himself. Fortunately, he breaks out of this quickly.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Bury Your Gays]]}}
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl|Clingy Jealous Boy]]: Only toward Yuno but even that is subtle {{spoiler|until the final confrontation.}}
* [[The Comically Serious]]
Line 564 ⟶ 566:
* [[Expy]]: His similarities to Kaworu of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' go way past the point of being unintentional. Like Kaworu, he's a [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]] voiced by [[Akira Ishida]] who seems to be in love with the meek main character, and turns out to be {{spoiler|an "angel" and later dies of decapitation}}.
* [[Hero Antagonist]]: In contrast to Yuno's [[Villain Protagonist]].
* [[Heroic Albino]]: Has shown shades of this in the actual series. Played straight in Paradox.
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic BSOD]]/[[Heroic RROD]]: When he confronts Deus on his own and finds out that he's an [[Artificial Human]], he tries to prove that everything he had done up to that point wasn't programmed into him, but with each of Deus' rejections, his body decayed more and more as it was returned into Deus' [[Akashic Records]]. When he finally tried declare that his love for Yukiteru was real, Deus rejected that as well, and said it was also something that he willed to happen as [[God]].}}
** {{spoiler|[[Heroic Resolve]]: Even though he was deleted and Deus proved that everything he did was planned out as God's will, he decides to forge his own future from that point on, creates his own future diary with 8th's server system, and swears to protect Yukiteru.}}
Line 581 ⟶ 583:
* {{spoiler|[[Off with His Head]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Out-Gambitted]]}}
* [[The Quiet One]]
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: He's a subversion of the trope as despite being a very subtle [[Yandere]], he's mostly a nice person overall. {{spoiler|[[Double Subverted]] in his final confrontation with Yuno; he went for the kill and was only thwarted when Yuno was revealed to be holding out the second Yuno's future diary for him to smash.}}
* [[Single-Target Sexuality]]: Guess who.
Line 587 ⟶ 589:
* [[Ship Tease]]: A ''lot'' of this with Yukiteru in the main story and ''Paradox''. Also has a fair amount with Tsubaki in ''Paradox'', too.
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: Subverted. At first he seems to be pushing Yuki to go out with Yuno going as far as to set them up for a date that could very well make them closer than before. However, this is so he can {{spoiler|trespass in Yuno's home hoping to dig up information that will make Yuki realize how much of a bad person she is.}}
* [[Spanner in the Works]]: The reason 10th got caught in the first place is that he assumed that Akise was a diary wielder and was out to kill him. These turn of events later lead to his death.
** {{spoiler|1=He almost ruins MurMur's plans in Paradox by preventing the tragedies that happen to nearly all the characters.}}
*** {{spoiler|In the main series. His dying message to Yukiteru serves as a catalyst which triggers the events leading to the final act.}}
Line 597 ⟶ 599:
** His vague [[Yandere]] tendencies become less vague in ''Paradox'', in that he is much more open about his desire to make sure that Yukiteru becomes a god.
 
-----
 
=== '''Hinata Hino''' ===
{{quote|''Voiced by [[Yuki Matsuoka]]''}}
 
Line 606 ⟶ 608:
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Hinata's hair in the anime is closer to being brunette rather than orange like in the manga.
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]
* [[Big Breasts, Big Deal]]: Mostly Type 3 with some Type 1; Hinata's size isn't really brought up too much, but she does get flustered whenever [[Les Yay|Mao]] is admiring her assets.
* {{spoiler|[[Dark Magical Girl]]: She may not have the powers (unless you count the Diary), but she does have the personality and backstory.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Faking the Dead]]: As part of her ploy to [[He Knows Too Much|kill Akise]] to gain her father's trust.}}
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: It's more of an orange tint than anything though.
** [[Curtains Match the Window]]: In the anime, where her hair [[Adaptation Dye Job|is brown]].
* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]}}
Line 616 ⟶ 618:
* [[Pointless Band-Aid]]
* [[Theme Naming]]: Just as {{spoiler|her father, Tsukishima, contains the kanji for the moon in his name}}, both her first and last name contain the kanji for the sun.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: The tomboy to Mao's girly girl.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy|Well Done Daughter Girl]]: She wants her father to acknowledge her.

=== '''Mao Nonosaka''' ===
{{quote|''Voiced by [[Yukana]]''}}
 
Line 627 ⟶ 629:
 
* [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]: They're not ''that'' big, but still noticeable.
* {{spoiler|[[Bury Your Gays]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]: It tends to be forgotten, but in the story arc when she was first introduced she held Yukiteru hostage at knife point and tried to kill him via Diary.}}
* [[Lipstick Lesbian]]: Towards Hinata.
* [[Nice Hat]]
* {{spoiler|[[Psycho Lesbian]]: Helps Hinata in her scheme to kill Akise, despite the fact that Hinata was only doing it to [["Well Done, Son" Guy|gain her father's approval]]. After Hinata apologizes for taking advantage of Mao's feelings, she actually tries to kill Yukiteru. Hinata herself doesn't really snap until [[Murder Is the Best Solution|Yuno stabs Mao]].}}
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: The girly girl to Hinata's tomboy.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]

=== '''Ouji Kosaka''' ===
{{quote|''Voiced by [[Minoru Shiraishi]]''}}
 
Yuki's classmate, who doesn't like him much (the feeling's mutual). He enjoys blogging on his cell phone, which inadvertently connects him to the 8th's Diary. He gets the "Kousaka King Diary" while {{spoiler|attempting to rescue Yuki from Yuno.}} It predicts his "brilliant moments". {{spoiler|Later in the series, it is upgraded to the "Neo Kousaka King Diary", which predicts the brilliant moments of the people around him as well.}}
 
* {{spoiler|[[A Plague on Both Your Houses]]}}
* [[Blessed with Suck]]: As Yuno points out after tricking him his diary is fairly weak in its information gathering abilities.
* [[Butt Monkey]]
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: But he slides more on the jerk side and rarely shows his heart of gold side.
* [[My Friends and Zoidberg]]: [http://www.mangareader.net/384-26037-17/mirai-nikki/chapter-18.html Justified, in that he's kind of a jerk.]
{{quote|'''Yukiteru''': I don't care much for Kosaka, but...[[The Power of Friendship|I'm gonna be friends with everyone]]!}}
Line 651 ⟶ 653:
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: To {{spoiler|Yuki}}.

=== '''Masumi Nishijima''' ===
{{quote|''Voiced by Makoto Ishii''}}
 
Line 659 ⟶ 661:
 
* [[Badass Normal]]: Notable in that his ''lack'' of a Diary is key to his effectiveness.
* [[Bishounen]]
* [[Career Versus Man|Career Versus Woman]]: Has to choose between doing his job as a policeman and later {{spoiler|being the 11th's bodyguard}} and his feelings for Minene. {{spoiler|He chooses Minene, and even proposes to her.}}
* [[The Charmer]]: Though he (unknowingly, at first) ends up mostly just pursuing Minene every time.
Line 677 ⟶ 679:
* [[Villainesses Want Heroes]]: Inverted, as Nishijima is the one who actively pursues Minene.

=== '''Rea Amano''' ===
 
Yuki's mother who's usually away from home due to work. Despite this, she and Yukiteru are shown to have a stable and loving relationship. She approves of Yuno and Yuki as a couple, against Yuki's ignored protests. {{spoiler|She is killed when her husband stabs her in desperation after he escapes the collapsing Sakurami Tower.}}
Line 685 ⟶ 687:
* [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents]]
* {{spoiler|[[Dead Little Sister]]: Becomes this to Yukiteru after her husband stabs her in a moment of extreme stress and desperation. If there was any doubt of how much Yuki depended on her/how much he loved her, it's certainly cleared away not too long after when we see just how ''broken'' he becomes without her.}}
* [[Hot Shonen Mom]]
* [[Meaningful Name]]: If Yukiteru is Jupiter (see his section above), then Rea is his Titaness mother Rhea.
* [[Parental Obliviousness]]: Especially towards Yuno's...behavior. Really, when your son is on the run from the law, then disappears for a week after being exonerated and comes back incredibly nervous, you should be at least a little concerned.

=== '''Kurou Amano''' ===
 
Yuki's father who left after a divorce years ago. He and Yukiteru are shown spending some father-son bonding after a long time since the divorce around 2/3 into the manga, where he is introduced. He really seems to care for Yukiteru and Rea {{spoiler|or so we are led to believe ([[Double Subversion|until that is subverted too]])}}. {{spoiler|He is killed by the 11th's henchmen.}}
Line 701 ⟶ 703:
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Fitting with the rest of his family's [[Theme Naming]], "Kurou" resembles "Cronus". {{spoiler|Not to mention how he tries to kill his son...}}
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Despite {{spoiler|trying to sell Yuki out to the enemy, and murdering his mother, it turns out those were just horrible mistakes that he never meant to happen and all he wanted was for the family to be happy... [[Redemption Equals Death|and then he dies]].}}
* {{spoiler|[[Redemption Equals Death]]: Yuki was willing to give him another chance after he turned himself and fulfilled his sentence, but the 11th's men killed him before he could do any of that. Ergo, Yuki forgave him completely and then freaks out on the murderers.}}
 
Line 856 ⟶ 858:
* [[You Don't Look Like You]]: Deus appears as a purple, sun-shaped, smiling emoticon.
