This page is for the characters that appear in ''[[High School DXDDxD]]''.
 
{{Unmarked Spoilers}} '''THERE WILL BE SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T READ THE LIGHT NOVELS! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.'''
 
== Occult Research Club ==
Tropes relating to them:
* [[Almighty Janitor]]: Everyone in the Club with the exception of Rias and Azazel are low ranked devils. Rias is currently one of the weaker members of the Club. You do the math.
** {{spoiler|Although latter Issei, Akeno, and Kiba get promoted it's implied that they are still not promoted to where it would indicate their strength level. Especially Issei who at this point should be a ultimate devil with [[Super Mode|Trianna]] but is still one of the lower ranked devils}}.
* [[Badass Crew]]: [[A Worldwide Punomenon|Hell]] yeah!
* [[Battle Harem]]: Even if you include [[Ho Yay|Kiba and Gasper]]. It gets lampshaded by the [[Word of God|author himself at one point.]]
Line 16:
*** [[The Big Guy|The Big Girls]]: Akeno, Koneko, and Xenovia
*** [[The Smart Guy|The Smart Girl]] ''and'' [[The Leader]]: Rias
*** [[The Chick|The Chicks]]s: Asia and Gasper
*** [[The Mentor]]: Azazel
*** [[Sixth Ranger|Sixth Rangers]]s: Irina, Rossweiss, and Ravel {{spoiler|We could also probably add Ophis in here now too.}}
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: {{spoiler|''Everyone's'' reaction was this when they only saw Rias' 8 pawn chess pieces instead of Issei himself.}}
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: They have the [[Every Thing Is Better With Princesses|princess of the demon world]], a survivor of a horrible experiment, [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|a child of a fallen angel who turned into devil who is also a priestess]], three very [[Cloudcuckoolander|ditzy]] believers of god, a [[Catgirl|nekomata]] that looks like [[Expy|Yuki Nagato]], a [[Cross DresserCrossdresser|cross dressing]] vampire, a [[Mad Scientist]] that is also the [[Authority Equals Asskicking|leader of the Fallen Angel side]], a [[Valkyries]] that loves money and hates spending too much, a demon phoenix, [[And Zoidberg|and finally a]] very perverted former [[Ordinary High School Student]] turned devil who also is a dragon.
* [[Pyrrhic Victory]]: {{spoiler|They did win against the Sitri group, but lost a lot of members to pull it off.}}
* [[Switching POV]]: The story is usually told through Issei's perspective, however there have been other characters that have gotten a narration from their perspective instead. To date, the only ones who have switched point of views from Issei are Rias, Kiba (secondary narration if there's something going on with Issei), Azazel (when there's a discussion with the leaders involved), and Asia.
* [[True Companions]]
* [[Try Not to Die]]: When Xenovia and Irina were able to get out of the dimension caused by George, they tell Issei to survive. {{spoiler|[[Our Hero Is Dead|Guess what happens to him.]]}}
* [[Unskilled but Strong]]: Not them individually but their whole group in the rating games lack experience hence they often don't do so well against a team in a rating game. This is best exemplified in their match against Sona's group where they had a hard time with Sona's strategies and hence almost lost.
 
=== Issei Hyodou [[Chess Motifs|"The Pawn"]] ===
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Yuuki Kaji]] (Japanese)}}
 
The primary protagonist of the series and is also called "Isse" by his peers. He gets a girlfriend early on in the story, goes on his first date with said girlfriend, and then gets killed by said girlfriend. Before he gets killed though, he wishes he can be brought back to life and his wish is so powerful that Rias Gremory gets to answer his call and he is reincarnated as a devil. He dreams of being a harem king, unknowingly already in the middle of being one.
----
* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: In one of the short stories of Volume 8, it's revealed that {{spoiler|he has a ''female gorilla spirit'' who has a crush on him.}} Needless to say, he's not amused.
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: Notable in that he's got ''twice'' the number of weaknesses because he's both a dragon and a devil.
* [[A Date Withwith Rosie Palms]]: After Rias appears to him all of a sudden in volume 2 and then goes back to her home. Thankfully, the anime omitted that little detail.
* [[Ascended Fanboy]]: He's a fan of [[Super Sentai]] shows alongside Irina, and he finally gets a [[Show Within a Show|show in hell called Breast Dragon.]] He's conflicted however whether he's happy about it or not seeing as it's embarrassing for him to have his show called "Breast Dragon", however kids do love it.
* {{spoiler|[[Ascended to A Higher Plane of Existence]]: He's got both Great Red ''and'' Ophis' existence within him.}}
Line 45:
*** Another one would have to be ''"If you want to burn me, bring me a phoenix or a dragon!"''
** [[Badass Creed]]: {{spoiler|Gains this after getting Crimson Queen mode instead of Juggernaut Drive.}}
{{quote| {{spoiler|I who is about to awaken. The Red-Dragon Emperor who discarded away my ambition. I held the infinite dreams and hope within my arms. I shall walk the path of rule of right. I shall become the king of Crimson Dragon. I will promise to you all. I shall show you the future which glows in crimson light.}}}}
*** He's fighting off ''other [[Badass Creed|Badass Creeds]]s'' in his head while reciting this.
** [[Badass Finger-Snap]]: When unleashing Dress Break.
** [[Badass Pacifist]]: Would prefer talking rather than beating up his enemies. {{spoiler|And that's including the past users of Boosted Gear.}}
Line 52:
** [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: He's usually thinking about perverted things, but push comes to shove...
** [[Dare to Be Badass]]: Delivers this to Gasper when he held the [[Distress Ball]] in volume 4.
{{quote| ''However, Gasper! It’s no use if you don’t get up on your own, you know? After receiving encouragement by a girl, next is standing up! [[It Makes Sense in Context|Don't you have a wonderful pair of balls on you!?]]''}}
** [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: {{spoiler|Gets to land the final blow against Loki.}}
** [[Heartbroken Badass]]: His thoughts reveal that he's still traumatized after getting himself killed by his ex-girlfriend and also rejecting her beg for mercy when she gets killed by Rias.
Line 58:
** [[One-Man Army]]: {{spoiler|Defeats an entire group of middle-class grim reapers, beings ''stronger than high class devils'', by himself. And this is with him only using Balance Breaker and at this point, he's a lot weaker because he just fired off two Dragon Blasters, and used Gift on Rias and Akeno. This surprises Siegfried as to how strong Issei really is.}}
** [[Submissive Badass]]: He's even more powerful than ''any'' member of his group, however he's still going to follow Rias' orders no questions asked.
** [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: ''Took millions!''
** [[Underestimating Badassery]]: Seems like a lot of people think that he's not as badass as he's supposed to be. He proves them wrong all the time.
* {{spoiler|[[Battle in Thethe Center of Thethe Mind]]: The past users of Boosted Gear wanted him to use [[Deadly Upgrade|Juggernaut Drive]] again. He only gets saved thanks to the power of the children and Irina cheering for him, Sairaorg's encouragement, and one of the past users of Albion [[Chekhov's Gun|who's consciousness resided in the fragment Issei absorbed from Vali.]]}}
* [[Berserk Button]]: Invoked by Vali to make him fight harder. ''It works too well.'' {{spoiler|Said button is ''halving his harem's breasts''.}}
** A more powerful one is {{spoiler|either harm ''anyone'' from his harem, or declaring that they're dead will and he'll rip you apart and ''[[I'm a Humanitarian|eat you]].'' Shalba Beelzebub found this out the hard way. It's not just physical harm either, when Phoenix shows up he humiliates Rias (his fiancee) by making out with one of his Evil Pieces right in front of them prompting Issei to release his Boosted Gear and try to attack him.}}
** {{spoiler|Tell him that you're going to harm children in his presence. [[Curb Stomp Battle|We dare you]].}}
{{quote| '''Issei''': (to {{spoiler|Raiser}}) I don't understand difficult things. However when I lost to you I still remembered one thing from that. ''You made Buchou cry'' and that's all I need to know to punch you!}}
* [[Beat Them At Their Own Game]]: {{spoiler|Used Samael's poison that was from his body when he fought against Shalba, infused it with a bullet of Gogmagog he found at the Dimension Gap alongside Ophis and Great Red, and used it against Cao Cao.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Big Damn Heroes]]: Shows up [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]] with Great Red and Ophis accompanying him.}}
** {{spoiler|[[Dynamic Entry]]}}
* [[Boom! Headshot!]]: Achieves this {{spoiler|in his 2nd fight versus Cao Cao, who lost his eye after that.}}
* [[Breath Weapon]]: He learns how to breathe fire {{spoiler|[[Training Fromfrom Hell|after training with Taninmin]]}}
* '''[[Buxom Is Better]]''': Issei '''loves''' tits. It helps that {{spoiler|Rias}}, his first girlfriend for real, is a busty redhead that's mouthwateringly hot. {{spoiler|Akeno}}, his second and the Number Two of his harem, is just as busty, {{spoiler|and EX reveals that his other choices paid off handsomely when it comes to large, sexy racks.}}
* [[Can't Act Perverted Toward a Love Interest]]: Averted pretty damn hard. He'll still make lecherous passes even though {{spoiler|he finally is able to confess to Rias. Case in point: use Gift on the latter's breasts.}}
** It should be noted that the girls like it this way, and constantly encourage said advances.
* [[Chick Magnet]]: He's got (in order of who liked him first): Asia, Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Xenovia, Irina, Ravel, {{spoiler|Rossweiss, and Ophis}}. That's not counting the numerous amounts of admirers he has and that's not including ''[[Even the Guys Want Him|the guys who want him.]]'' According to Ddraig, dragons are [[Chick Magnet|Chick Magnets.]]
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: As much as he wants to make any moves, he just can't touch Rias because she's too good, and Asia because she's too pure.
** {{spoiler|As the novels go on, he does, particularly Rias who he manages to claim as his own through being a good guy. As the time goes on, he manages to nab Akeno, too, and many more beautiful women follow after her.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Cool Sword]]: Gains the Holy Sword Ascalon after Archangel Michael gives it to him [[It Was a Gift|as a gift.]]}}
* [[Combination Attack]]: Due to his [[Status Buff|Gift]] powers, he's able to amplify his ally's attacks and launch a more powerful version. To wit, he pulled off a [[Field of Blades]] with Kiba, amplified Power of Destruction with Rias, amplified Akeno's Holy Lightning and his personal favorite with Gasper: Time stopping plus Dress Break.
Line 82 ⟶ 84:
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: He treats it like it was one. [[Hilarity Ensues|It's actually hilarious.]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: He gets his moments, normally when talking to [[Those Two Guys|Matsuda and Motohama]]. One particulary funny example occurs when he tells them he is going to ditch them to go to Rias' home (In the Underworld).
{{quote| '''Matsuda and Motohama''': Go to hell, you bastard!!!!<br />
'''Ise''': (after hanging up) Well, I am going to hell. }}
** He also does it (internally) when Rias can't tell who the Maou Rangers are.
Line 91 ⟶ 93:
* {{spoiler|[[Did You Just Romance Cthulhu?]]: He gains Ophis' affection from the way she clings at him. The other girls in his harem are not amused.}}
* [[Drop the Hammer]]: {{spoiler|Briefly wields Thor's hammer, Mjolnir against Loki.}}
* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]: After his [[Training Fromfrom Hell]] with Tanninim, he has developed quite a good looking body that half of his female classmates have a crush on him, knowing that he's a pervert.
* [[Even the Guys Want Him]]: To defeat him, that is. Vali, Sairaorg, {{spoiler|Cao Cao and Kiba wants to fight are the prime targets. Needless to say, he's not amused.}}
* [[Evil Is Hammy]]: While he's definitely not evil, his actions whenever using Dress Break and Bilingual plus Gasper's Time Stop makes him one of these in the eyes of a female. Koneko even lampshades it that only villains ever get to be that hammy.
Line 111 ⟶ 113:
** He also has a love for having a harem and have sexual relationships with his fellow club members {{spoiler|but the girls reveal that that they see fear in his eyes whenever they interact with him which shocks him. He still has a lot of trauma in regards to relationships because of [[Manipulative Bitch|Reynalle]], his ex-girlfriend.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Horned Humanoid]]: After activating Juggernaut Drive the first time.}}
* [[Idiot Hero]]: [[Zig -Zagging Trope|Zigzagged]]. Well he has his moments he is usually on top of things once someone explains it to him and is not nearly as lacking in commen sense as some of the other members of the Occult Club. He only gets really dumb when it concerns [[Oblivious to Love|Love]]. He also gets smarter as the series goes on.
* [[Informed Flaw]]: Everyone calls him talentless and he's often remarked as the weakest holder of Boasted Gear. At the start that makes sense but once he starts training he completely blows through the more "talented" members of the Occult Club in terms of both strength and the rate he grows stronger. While it's true that he trains hard Sairaorg trains longer and just as hard as him and he still surpassed him in the end. At this point it gets a little ridiculous when someone remarks him as weak or talentless considering how fast he improved.
** Although to be fair, the ones calling him talentless nowadays are [[Authority Equals Asskicking|Azazel]], [[Born Winner|Vali]] and [[Badass Normal|Cao Cao]]. And even then, it's a compliment for them because they know Issei is a hard worker and is getting even stronger in a different direction.
* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: Lots of 'em in this series and he's always the youngest; the latest being {{spoiler|Ophis. And now Great Red is joining the fun.}}
* [[Ironic Echo]]: Him promising to Koneko that he'll never use Dress Break to his allies. For those who haven't read the light novels, {{spoiler|he uses it (by accident) towards Asia and Koneko in volume 3 because he was targeting Irina at that time, he uses it at Asia in volume 6 for his [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]], and he uses it again towards Rossweiss in volume 9 because he needed to get past her. The one with Xenovia on volume 8 doesn't count because it was his clone running loose.}}
* [[It Runs in the Family]]: His father wanted a harem too, but had to settle for one wife.
* [[Jack of All Stats]]: Pawns have the secondary ability of "Promotion" if they are deep in enemy territory [[Chess Motifs|(in chess a pawn is promoted when it hits the last row on the opposing side of the board.)]] Which allows him to promote himself to any piece except a King, gaining that piece's abilities.
* {{spoiler|[[The Juggernaut]]: Juggernaut Drive. [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Duh]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Kaiju]]: When he shows up in his [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment alongside Ophis and Great Red, he combines with Great Red and becomes ''gigantic sized'' to take out the Annihilation Maker monsters. [[Word of God]] states that it's a one time form only.}}
* [[Large Ham]]: Every single time he uses Dress Break and Bilingual to his female opponents, he will be bringing ham.
Line 127 ⟶ 130:
* [[Magnetic Hero]]: He attracts special people like crazy. Practically everybody important in this series had some form of interaction with him.
* [[Male Frontal Nudity]]: In episode 2 and it's uncensored even though it's only in a single frame and even then, it's easy to miss it.
* [[Me's a Crowd]]: Something Azazel experimented on him. [[Three Hundred300]] of him to be exact. And yes, the cover illustration for said short story is a [[Shout-Out]] to said movie.
* [[Mistaken for Gay]]: After Kiryuu spreads the photo of Issei and Kiba singing a duet together, rumors of them [[Ho Yay|having a relationship]] spread like wildfire. Doesn't help that Kiba [[Ho Yay|sometimes even outright tells Issei that he'll protect him]]. Issei just thinks he's nuts.
* [[Mistress and Servant Boy]]: He's the servant and Rias is the mistress. {{spoiler|Subverted as the time goes on, as they get close enough to be on equal footing.}}
* [[Multi-Armed and Dangerous]]: He grows extra limbs, some of which are sword-like, {{spoiler|when in Juggernaut Drive.}}
* [[Multiform Balance]]: How [[Super Mode|Trianna]] works.
** [[Fragile Speedster]]: Welsh Sonic Boast Knight gives up armor in exchange for speed.
** [[Glass Cannon]]: Welsh Blaster Bishop has a long charge time but very destructive attacks.
** [[Jack of All Stats]]: Normal Balance Breaker has no weakness but doesn't add any special power.
** [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Cardinal Crimson Queen basically combines all 3 modes strong points without any of their weakness.
** [[Mighty Glacier]]: Welsh Draconic Rook has heavy attack and defense but due to the extra armor in this mode speed is lowered.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: All the [[Training From Hell]] more than pays off for Issei in terms of his looks, as [[Heroic Build|all those muscles]] make his goal of scoring hot pussy way, ''way'' easier than before.
* [[Mundane Utility]]: How he acquired Dress Break in the first place was to peel vegetables at a distance.
* [[Naked Onon Revival]]
* [[Nice Guy]]: Despite being a pervert he is one of the nicest people in this story.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: {{spoiler|Destroying one of Cao Cao's eye didn't exactly end well when Cao Cao gets a rematch with replacing his now missing eye with a Medusa eye.}}
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: A perverted high school student that is both a dragon and a devil.
* [[No One Gets Left Behind]]: {{spoiler|Stays behind the group in volume 11 to rescue Ophis from Shalba Beelzebub.}}
* [[Normally I Would Be Dead Now]]: {{spoiler|Apparently, if he didn't use Phoenix tears when he and Cao Cao fought the second time at Kyoto, he would have died already.}}
Line 150 ⟶ 154:
* {{spoiler|[[Our Hero Is Dead]]: Near the end of volume 11. It probably won't stick though.}}
** {{spoiler|[[He's Back|It didn't.]] [[We Can Rebuild Him|Technically at least.]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Pals Withwith Jesus|Pals With Ophis]]: The only person Ophis even considers as a friend is him.}}
** {{spoiler|And now he managed to become Great Red's friend.}}
* [[Papa Wolf]]: To all the girls, but ESPECIALLY Asia and Koneko. Just ask Kuroka and [[Complete Monster|Diodora]].
Line 172 ⟶ 176:
* [[Roar Before Beating]]: {{spoiler|When in Juggernaut Drive against Shalba.}}
* [[Screams Like a Little Girl]]: ''He's the one who screams'' when he accidentally walks in on Asia while she was in the shower instead of the other way around.
* [[Sealed Inside a Person -Shaped Can]]: Issei is the can to Ddraig.
* [[Second Year Protagonist]]
* [[Serious Business]]: If you want to put on a strip show for him, {{spoiler|take out your bra first before your panties. Sairaorg's Bishop found that out the hard way.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Sickeningly Sweethearts]]: With Rias. Even referred by Azazel as that stupid couple.}}
* [[Shoulder Cannon]]: His Illegal Triana Bishop form.
* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: Ships Saji to Souna.
* [[Spanner in Thethe Works]]: Wrecks his opponents plans like no tomorrow.
** With Reynalle: {{spoiler|Punching her in the face so powerful she got blown out of the window (anime)/punched across the room (light novel and manga).}}
** With Raiser: {{spoiler|Beats him up at ''his own'' engagement party.}}
** With Souna: {{spoiler|Uses Bilingual on the entire Sitri team and had their plans found out.}}
** With Diodora: {{spoiler|Defeated ReynalleRaynare, thus getting Asia's affection.}}
* [[Spit Take]]: When his mom asks him when is she going to have a grandchild ever since {{spoiler|he finally calls Rias by her name.}}
* [[Status Buff]]: How ''Gift'' works.
* [[Straight Man]]: Pulls this off when Asia or Xenovia end up praying and gain damage.
** As long as he isn't in his perverted antics, he's this to ''anybody''. He's this to Rias when he recognized who the Maou Rangers were right away while Rias thought it was a new enemy. Also one to Bikou and Vali when they thought [[Creepy Crossdresser|Mil-tan]] was a ''[[Catgirl]]''. He even wanted to point out to Irina that although she's wanting to create a new club, she's still joining the Occult Research Club. And he also is this to Rossweiss {{spoiler|when he pointed out that he used Dress Break on her and the first thing she complains is that she ''wrecked her clothes and that cost her money instead of covering herself up.}}
* [[Superpower Lottery]]: Subverted. While one would think that having one of the strongest Sacred Gear that doubles your power every ten seconds would be a big win Issei himself is utterly talentless and has to compensate by going through [[Training Fromfrom Hell]] to get stronger.
** {{spoiler|Played straight when he's now considered the offspring of both Ophis and Great Red.}}
* [[Technical Pacifist]]: Never kills anybody even though he beats the crap out of them.
* [[Tender Tears]]: Yes, perverts are able to regard girls as people with feelings-hopes-and-dreams rather than just objects.
* [[The Champion]]: For Rias; he'll do ''anything'' for Rias.
* [[The First Cut Is the Deepest]]: ReynalleRaynare's attempt on his life, he feels that even though he would like to pursue a relationship with any member of his unknown (to him) harem, he's scared that he would be rejected almost instantly.
* [[The Heart]]: The occult club sticks together mostly because of him. In fact if he ever decides to leave and form his own group both Asia and Xenovia would go with him.
* [[The Messiah]]: [[Irony|Even though he's a dragon-devil.]]
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: Inverted. {{spoiler|Cao Cao, Vali, Sairaorg, and Kiba all express their wishes to defeat Issei one day. Them being all guys, Issei wasn't amused by it.}}
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Delivers this towards {{spoiler|Shalba Beelzebub the second time he [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb stomped him.]]}}
* [[Thou Shalt Not Kill]]: Hasn't really killed anybody outside of Rating Games and even then, no one dies in Rating Games anyway. He might beat them to a bloody pulp though. {{spoiler|His first kill however is from Shalba the second time they fought.}}
* [[Time to Unlock More True Potential]]: Well, it is a shounen series after all. {{spoiler|His true potential, as revelealed by the ''EX'' spin-off light novel, is [[Marry Them All|marrying a harem consisting of Rias, Akeno, Asia, Xenovia, Irina, Rossweise, Ingvild, Le Fay, Kuroka, and Koneko]] and then siring at least one child with each.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Title Drop]]: Since Great Red used his powers to create Issei a body with the help of Ophis, he's now also known as the "Dragon of Dragons" or "D×D" who's still in high school; or in short, ''[[High School DXDDxD]]''.}}
* [[Transformation Sequence]]: When he puts on his Balance Breaker for the first time in the anime.
** [[Transformation Is a Free Action]]: Yet somehow, no one attacks him while he's transforming in this form. Even Maou Ranger Red (Sirzechs) lampshades that it's a rule to never attack while the opponent is transforming.
* [[Unskilled but Strong]]: His main problem once he actually starts getting stronger is that he lacks technique.
* [[The Rival]]: While Vali is more likely his rival thanks to their Sacred Gears, he considers his true rival to be Saji.
* [[The Worf Barrage]]: Possibly the ''weirdest'' one ever. {{spoiler|Dress Break doesn't work on Sairaorg's Bishop because ''she's willing to strip'', thus using said skill would be pointless because ruining a strip show is pretty bad. He then tries to use Bilingual but the only thing that's coming out from her breasts is ''which clothes is she willing to take off next''.}}
** A more serious example would be his Balance Breaker Scale Mail. If you could break his armor that it indicates that your a threat to him. If you can't expect to be utterly destroyed in combat with ease.
* {{spoiler|[[Tranquil Fury]]: He's usually loud and hotblooded, but if he's in this state, you might wanna run away pretty quick.}}
* {{spoiler|[[We Can Rebuild Him]]: His old body is now dead, however thanks to Great Red and Ophis, he's got a new full-time dragon body.}}
Line 221 ⟶ 225:
 
=== Rias Gremory [[Chess Motifs|"The King"]] ===
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Yoko Hikasa]] (Japanese)}}
Declared as the top one beauty of Kuou academy and the head of the Gremory house, she is a top-ranked devil and is Issei's master. She first appears to Issei after he summons her as he was dying. Taking pity and also interested in Issei's Sacred Gear, she revives him with eight pawn chess pieces. Referred to everyone as "Buchou".
----
Line 227 ⟶ 231:
** {{spoiler|[[Action Girlfriend]]: After Issei confesses to her.}}
* [[A Father to His Men|A Loving Big Sister To Her Servants]]: She ''really'' loves her little brothers and sisters; [[Berserk Button|breaking their hearts and making them cry]] is a ''one way ticket'' to the afterlife.
* [[Ars Goetia]]: Her name, Gremory, is taken from one of the only three female demons (of the 72 total)--with the other two being a wolf and a mermaid--mentionedmermaid—mentioned in the [[Ars Goetia]].
* [[Badass in Distress]]: That is, if you can call the engagement party with Raiser being a distress moment.
* [[Badass Princess]]
Line 235 ⟶ 239:
* [[Bedmate Reveal]]: Doesn't mind sleeping naked with Issei.
* [[Benevolent Boss]]: She loves her warriors so much she regards them as family rather than employees.
* [[Berserk Button]]: When the three Fallen angels she and Akeno are confronted by in episodes 4 and 5 {{spoiler|say how funny they found Issei being taken in by Yuuma and almost killed by her to be, she only waits long enough for Akeno to tell them they picked a fight with the wrong person before she vaporizes all three of them with a single attack, that's one in total, not one each!}}
** Harming any of her servants in general. Hell, if you harm ''even your own servants'', she'll roast you.
* [[Black Bra and Panties]]
* [[Can't Catch Up]]: Gets hit by this hard. Unlike the rest of the club she doesn't gain any new ability thus she didn't get any stronger than where she was at initially. This means that while she was the strongest in volume 1 by volume 11 she is actually one of the weaker members of the club.
** Hell, even she thought she was [[The Load]] during her and Ise's fight against Sairaorg and his Pawn.
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: As soon as Akeno starts making her moves on Issei, she gets jealous.
* [[Cool Big Sis]]: Lovingly-kind or sternly-mature as the situation calls for it.
* [[Cry Cute]]: [http://i.imgur.com/5X9cD.jpg Aww], [[I'm Taking Her Home Withwith Me|Can I Take Her Home With Me?]]
* [[Crutch Character]]: At the start, she's the strongest member in the club. By the middle part of the series, she's now just at the middle rank. [[Justified Trope|Justified]] because, [[Fridge Brilliance|Kings in chess are pretty weak.]]
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]
* [[Face Palm]]: Does this all the time.
* [[First Girl Wins]]: Of sorts; despite allowing Issei to amass a harem as he always dreamed of, Rias stipulates one condition - she has to be the prime wife. No questions asked.
* [[Foreign Fanservice]]: Although they look to have similar skin tone after Issei's mother walks in on the pair naked in bed together she specifically tells his father he's in bed with a foreign girl.
* [[Foreign Fanservice]]: Although they look to have similar skin tone, after Issei's mother walks in on the pair naked in bed together she specifically tells his father he's in bed with a foreign girl. The dead-tree translation actually has her say, "It's an international incident!"
* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]
* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]: Issei dearly wants her just for himself, and thankfully for him {{spoiler|Rias is more than happy to be his girlfriend and future wife.}}
* [[Idiot Hair]]
* [[If It's You It's Okay]]: She's willing to be naked in front of her servants, especially towards Issei.
* [[Intimate Healing]]
* [[Made of Temptation]]: Successfully tempts Rossweisse to join the group as a teacher despite her age.
* [[Meganekko]]: Sometimes wears one even though she has good vision. It's implied she does this purely to make Issei rock hard.
* [[Magnetic Hero]]: She has gathered quite a lot of powerful and special people in her group even before meeting Issei.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Lias' Pawn is a [[wikipedia:Fairy chess piece#Notable examples|Fairy Chess Piece]] that can also move sideways. It was proposed as a way to 'shake up' the rules of chess, as Issei does for the Rating Game.
* [[Mistress and Servant Boy]]: She is the mistress and Issei is the servant.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: She is the official #1 hottest girl in Kuoh Academy. Needless to say Issei's romance with her grants him quite the prestigeous position.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]
* [[No Nudity Taboo]]: While Issei was freaking out and his mother seemed stunned, her response when Issei's mother walked in on them naked in bed was a polite "good morning" without even trying to cover herself up.
* [[Onee-Sama]]: Referred to as one of the two onee-samas in Kuou Academy.
* [[Out-Gambitted]]: {{spoiler|By Souna.}}
* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: Her power.
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]
* [[Red Baron]]: Crimson-haired Ruin Princess.
** [[Embarrassing Nickname]]: Later on, she becomes known as Switch Princess much to her embarrassment and blames Bikou for it.
* [[Red Headed Heroine]]
Line 268 ⟶ 273:
* {{spoiler|[[Sickeningly Sweethearts]]: With Issei in Volume 11. To the point that they forget people are watching them.}}
* [[Squishy Wizard]]
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: She's 175cm (5'9'') and smoking hot, as Issei himself sees this.
 
=== Akeno Himejima [[Chess Motifs|"The Queen"]] ===
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Shizuka Itou]] (Japanese)}}
One of the devils in the service of Rias, she is also part of the Occult Research Club and acts as the main confidant of Rias.
 
{{spoiler|She's actually a half-human and a half-fallen angel who resents her father because other fallen angels killed her mother, so she enters in the service of Rias as revenge.}}
----
* [[Action Girl]]
Line 291 ⟶ 296:

* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Gets better has she becomes more exposed to the world.
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]

{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Kenji Nojima]] (Japanese) and Sean O'Connor (English)}}
[[File:Dxd 02 3517.jpg|thumb]]
 
The school prince of Kuou Academy and self-proclaimed best friend of Issei. He is also a part of the Occult Research Club in the service of Rias.
 
Line 337 ⟶ 343:
----
* [[The Ace]]: Has lots of Fangirls compared to the unpopular Issei, plus he is intelligent and quite powerful. [[Lampshaded]] in the anime's end credits, there's a playing card theme, and Kiba is shown as the Ace of spades. Also a really good [[Foreshadowing]] too, see below this trope.
** [[Broken Ace]]: Despite his cool appearence it is shown in Volume 3 that {{spoiler|Kiba has a obsession with revenge which makes him hot-tempered and irrational}}.
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: He realizes that if his legs are damaged, then he'll lose overall combat performance. {{spoiler|And it shows by Siegfried almost dominating against Kiba when the latter's legs were getting weak.}}
* [[Apologetic Attacker]]: Apologizes to his enemies whenever Issei breaks out a new perverted technique, much to the latter's frustration.
* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: He is a [[Master Swordsman]] and eventually {{Spoiler|gets promoted to the Club's Vice-President by the end of Volume 20}}.

{{Quote|Kiba: "You can continue howling to the Grim Reaper in Hell."}}
* [[Broken Ace]]: Has lots of fangirls compared to the unpopular Issei, plus he is intelligent and quite powerful. Despite his cool appearance, it is shown in Volume 3 that Kiba has an obsession with revenge, which makes him hot-tempered and irrational.
* [[Broken Bird]]: Male example, in which he still feels the pain of being experimented upon back during his childhood, even well into adolescence.
* [[Broken Hero]]: He is a calm, confident and skillful Knight. His perpetual smile and collected demeanor hide the fact that he is the only survivor of the Church's Excalibur experiments, who were so brutal that left him traumatized and killed all his friends when he was a mere child and to top it off, he is an artificial human without sense of self-worth; he is so deeply loyal to Rias simply because he has nothing else to hold on, something that Rias knows but is unable to fix. He admits to it in the Kokabiel arc. Though it gets kinda fixed with Issei and Koneko's friendship (with a healthy dose of Rias's [[Tough Love]] to help).

* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]
* [[Cynicism Catalyst]]: His participation in "The Holy Sword Project" caused him to become disillusioned with the Holy Swords in general.
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: He was originally called Isaiah, and was taken in by the Church and was chosen to be a part of a project called "The Holy Sword Project" supervised by Valper Galilei which led to the deaths of all of his friends and other participants when Valper [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|decided to eliminate them]], resulting in the latter's hatred of the Holy Swords namely Excalibur. After successfully escaping the facility with the help of his friends, he finally succumbed to the poison he inhaled. Lying on the ground, he was then found by Rias.
* [[Defrosting Ice King]]: During his initial days as Rias's servant, Isaiah was distrustful of Rias and all those related to her. One day, when giving tribute to his deceased friends, he was confronted by a stray Devil and fought a hard battle until his master, Okita, came to rescue him. After this event, he finally opened up to Rias and took up the name Rias thought of specifically for him, "Yuuto Kiba".
* [[Deuteragonist]]: Half of the series's point of view is through his eyes whenever Issei is not available.

* [[Forgotten Friend, New Foe]]: When they have first met again for a very long time, she was conflicted to kill Issei or not since she's an exorcist at that time while he's a devil. After the [[Peace Conference]] however, this is no longer an issue.
Line 483 ⟶ 505:

Issei had already discovered the "troublemaker" part, though unaware that alcohol caused it, when she invited -- no, '''insisted''' -- that he join her in the bath ... and when the harem walked in, Grayfia hugged him, ''pressing her breasts to Issei's back'' (yes, they were both naked at this point), and asked what they'd say if she said she was "making connection" with her young brother-in-law.

* [[Jerkass]]: When first introduced in the story. [[Flanderization|Flanderized]] in the anime version to the point when comparing him to his light novel version/manga version, he's way different.
** [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Despite the fact that he still acts like a jerk towards Rias and still kissed his servants in front the group, he actually gave a lot of good advice to Rias and told Issei that if Issei is defeated, it is a blow to Rias. Not to mention, he's the one who gave Rias a handicap and told her that their Rating Game will take place in 10 days and tells her that if she wants to do it now, he knows he'll curb stomp them.
* [[Playing Withwith Fire]]
* [[Superpower Lottery]]: His main strong point is that he can't be killed. As you can imagine that is enough to get through most enemies.

----
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: While Diodora had blond hair in the original light novel series, his hair is dark green in the anime.
* [[Ambition Is Evil]]: His ambition is to kidnap and have Asia join his harem.
* [[Ars Goetia]]
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Despite not cracking until his Villainous Breakdown, his obvious pleasure at raping and torturing Asia is a sign that he has not got a right mind.
* [[Big Bad Wannabe]]: He is memorable for being the first villain that Issei completely [[Curb Stomp Battle|overpowered]]. Unlike all the former villains who are all stronger then Issei.
* [[Bait the Dog]]: When he first appears, he's an affable devil. Then it's revealed that he's a murderer and a rapist. After that, he tries to kidnap and rape Asia.
* [[Berserk Button]]: He despises the idea of someone that's much stronger than him.
* [[Big Bad]]: He is the main antagonist of Volume 6 until Shalba kills him.
* [[Big Bad Wannabe]]: He is memorable for being the first villain that Issei completely [[Curb Stomp Battle|overpowered]]. Unlike all the former villains who are all stronger then Issei.
* [[Bullying a Dragon]]: Diodora decides to underestimate Issei's powers as the Red Dragon Emperor when he attempts to rescue Asia. It doesn't work.
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Was only mentioned as part of Asia's [[Backstory]] in the first volume before he makes his appearance.
* [[Classic Villain]]: He represents [[Lust]] and Pride.
* [[Complete Monster]]: One of the biggest ones in the series.
* [[Crisis of Faith]]: Diodora actually gets off on causing these in his marks; finding a devout, well-respected holy woman like a nun and slowly breaking their spirits until they ultimately give in to despair.
* [[Cuckold]]: Proposes to and attempts to kidnap and rape Asia, incurring the wrath of Issei.
* [[Death by Irony]]: He gets killed after being overpowered by the Issei, the same person who helped rescue Asia, whom Diodora tried to pull a rescue attempt by killing Raynare before Issei stepped in.
* [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?]]: He mocks Issei about his [[Blue Blood nature. Granted, Diodora truly didn't realize that he was mocking someone almost three times stronger than him, but it still counts.
* [[Dirty Coward]]: When the club tries to rescue Asia, he threatens to use her as a Human Shield, before teleporting away snickering.
* [[Disc One Final Boss]]: He's presented as one of the final main villains of the second story saga, but it's not until the finale of volume 6 that the true final boss turns out to be Shalba Beelzebub.
* [[Engineered Heroics]]: He planned for Asia to get excommunicated by the church and also waited for Raynare to kill her, only for him to kill the fallen angel and revive Asia, thus appearing to be her "savior." The last part of his plan fails when Raynare is defeated by Issei and Asia is revived by Rias.
* [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good]]: Diodora's arrogance and relentless self-centeredness blind him to the idea that Issei will defeat him and cause his plan to kidnap and ultimately rape Asia to fail.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Issei. Just like him, Diodora wanted to form a harem. However, unlike him, Diodora was willing to do anything to accomplish his goals, including outright murder.
* [[Evil Gloating]]: When the group confront him, he continuously taunts Issei about having kidnapped Asia, eventually [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil|crossing one too many lines]] and causing Issei to reach his [[Rage Breaking Point]] by threatening to rape Asia.
* [[Evil Plan]]: He had planned to make Asia a part of his harem from the very beginning.
* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: As part of his smug, polite facade. He opens them when he gets aggravated, like when Issei tries to pull him away from Asia.
* [[Fatal Flaw]]: Diodora's pride and lust. He can't control his urges to rape and murder nuns, and couldn't stand being underestimated by Issei, and that's precisely how he lost in volume 6.
* [[For the Evulz]]: He’s pretty much a scumbag for the sake of being a scumbag. He even drags the rest of the Occult Research Club into his business with Asia just to have more victims. This kills him in the end when he gets curb-stomped by an enraged Issei and is dispatched by Shalba as a result.
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]: He may have been calm and polite in the Young Devils' Gathering, but it was only because he had to do it to cover his true motives, not to mention that he was clearly shown to drop his polite demeanor whenever not in their presence.
* {{spoiler|[[Netorare]]: Tells Issei that he'll steal Asia. [[Curb Stomp Battle|Three guesses how that ended.]]}}
* [[The Plan]]: {{spoiler|Everything thing he did is for Asia to join him.}}

* [[Let's Fight Like Gentlemen]]: Requests from Sirzechs to lift up the rules that restrict the Gremory team so that they can fight at full power.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Noted by both Issei and Kiba to be fast, strong and durable. Considering how strong Issei is and how fast Kiba is we can take their word for it.
* [[Megaton Punch]]: Enough to knock out ''anybody''.
* [[Muggle Born of Mages]]: Well, the equivalent of devils, but he still counts.
* {{spoiler|[[Powered Armor]]}}
* [[Power Limiter]]: Limits himself to just be able to have a good fight with his opponents. [[Megaton Punch|Doesn't matter anyway]].
* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: Ships Rias to Issei.
* {{spoiler|[[So Proud of You]]: When his mom finally wakes up from a coma, she says she's proud of him, causing him to shed a [[Single Tear]].}}
* [[Training Fromfrom Hell]]: Subjected himself to this so he can become stronger.

* [[Evil Costume Switch]]: Anime only.
* [[Hotter and Sexier]]: The light novel and the manga version of her reveal was just showing off her wings. The anime however, got her to wear [[Stripperific]] clothes.
* {{spoiler|[[Kick the Son of Aa Bitch]]}}
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Although this is working without the component kanji (and, therefore, a way to look them up), "Yuuma" sounds like "Ghost Fiend"--and—and "fiendish" barely ''begins'' to describe her killing of Issei. Never mind her actually being a Fallen Angel...
** Actually, she reveals she chose that name because "Yuu" means "night" or some equivalent, which was [[Complete Monster|WHEN SHE PLANNED ON KILLING ISSEI!!]]
* [[Smug Snake]]

=== Calawana, Donnasiege, and Mitelt ===
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Kumi Sakuma]] (Calawana), [[Taketora]] (Donnasiege), and Yuiko Tatsumi (Mitelt) (Japanese)}}
 
Three fallen angels who collaborated with Reynalle to get Asia's Twilight Healing and have themselves promoted.
Line 757 ⟶ 807:
 
=== Kokabiel ===
[[File:Kokabiel profile pic infobox.png|frame]]
 
A fallen angel who steers the plot of the third volume. He steals the pieces of Excalibur to strengthen the fallen angel faction and to tempt Micheal to start an all-out war.
----
* [[And I Must Scream]]: His ultimate fate. Azazel seals him in Cocytus, the deepest part of the Underworld.
* [[Barehanded Blade Block]]: Uses only ''two fingers'' to block Kiba's sword.
* [[Big Bad]]: The main antagonist of Volume 3.
* [[Blood Knight]]: Wants a war to get fighting starting once again.
* [[Disc One Final Boss]]: He gets defeated by Vali at the start of the second saga.
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]: He has a deep voice and is a villain.
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: He wants to restart the war between the Three Factions just to prove that Fallen Angels are the superior race.
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: He's sealed up in Cocytus after Vali defeats him.
* [[For the Evulz]]: Wants to start the war just so that he won't be bored. That and he's willing to prove that the fallen angels are superior.
* [[Human Popsicle]]: His punishment for attempting to reignite war was eternal freezing in Cocytus.
* [[Kick the Son of a Bitch]]: Kills Vlapis for outliving his usefulness.
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: He's the first enemy that the ORC was completely incapable of beating, and he drops the bombshell that God Is Dead.
* [[Obviously Evil]]: His face alone in the second PV of the second season looks like he fits more in the devil society than in the fallen angel group.
** Its also a case of [[Fridge Brilliance]], due to the fact that Angels in the Bible are known be terrifying in appearance.
* [[Politically Incorrect Villain]]: Well, he is racist, after all...
* [[This Cannot Be!]]: When he finds himself losing to Vali, who lampshades how stereotypical such lines are before finishing him off.
* [[Wake Up Call Boss]]: Manages to become this for the entire (incomplete at that time) Gremory team. They could barely scratch the dude and it took [[Superpower Lottery|Vali]] to beat the crud out of him.
* [[We Used to Be Friends]]: Even though Kokabiel tried to start another war, the other fallen angels still think of him as a comrade and thought that what he did was stupid.
* [[The Worf Effect]]: He both Worfs and is Worfed. The ORC could ''barely'' scratch him, establishing that while they are badass, they have a long way to go before they are major players power-wise. He is immediately one-shot by Vali, establishing him as a major player, power-wise.

=== Freed Zelzan ===
[[File:Freed sellzen profile pic infobox.png|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Japanese)}}
{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Japanese), Ben Phillips (English)}}
 
An exorcist for the fallen angels, he first appears in the story in Volume 1 (Episode 3 of the anime) when he kills a human who has a devil contract saying that all devils and humans who contact devils must be killed.
----
* {{spoiler|[[Artificial Human]]: Made from different patterns of genetics of those who carried the blood of the original Siegfried to use Gram}}.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Yep, he's a nutcase.
He's both insane and aggressive, attacking whoever gets on his nerves, or simply catches his fancy when he's "in the mood."
* {{spoiler|[[I'm a Humanitarian]]: In the sixth volume, he gets turned into a chimera and when the club meets with him again, he's shown to be eating the two remaining knights Diodora had.}}
* [[Back for the Dead]]: After having been cut down in Volume 3, Freed would meet his ultimate end in Volume 6 at the hands of Kiba.
* [[Blood Knight]]: Freed may be an exorcist, but he doesn't give a flying crap about God. The only reason he's an exorcist is so he can kill demons and slake his bloodthirst.
* [[Body Horror]]: His body takes on the terrifying form of a chimera during his final appearance.
* [[The Dragon]]: He plays this role to Raynare in Volume 1, then to Kokabiel in Volume 3, and again to Diodora in Volume 6, although it's up for debate as to whether he was really serving the latter or just looking for revenge against the Research Club.
* [[Evil Is Hammy]]: He seems to overact his scenes, and seems to enjoy doing it.
* [[Fatal Flaw]]: His insane behavior leads to him getting killed by Kiba.
* [[Gratuitous English]]: He peppers his speech with random English words.
* [[Half the Man He Used To Be]]: How Kiba ultimately kills him.
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: In the sixth volume, he gets turned into a chimera and when the club meets with him again, he's shown to be eating the two remaining knights Diodora had.
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: After being revived as a chimera, Freed dies permanently in Volume 6 when Kiba slices him apart nearly instantly.
* [[Knight Templar]]: Averted. His wanton slaughter of supernatural being has nothing to do with any higher purpose. Freed never even believed in God, and only became an exorcist so he could slaughter things with impunity.
* [[Large Ham]]: We think his seiyuu had a hammy time delivering his lines.
* [[Laughably Evil]]: As warped as Freed is, he's a joy to watch between his mood swings and bizarre mannerisms.
* [[Minor Injury Overreaction]]: He gets punched in the face by Issei and from there proceeds to lose all sanity.
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: Freed is an exorcist of the Church, who wields holy weapons against the creatures of the underworld. He is also an [[Ax Crazy]] maniac.
* {{spoiler|[[Long Lost Relative]]: Made by the Sigurd Institution the same as Siegfried and Lint, so he is artificially related to them. Especially to Lint as he and her are made from the same genetics}}.
* [[The Mad Hatter]]: In the English dub, he gleefully refers to himself as a "psycho priest free agent."
* [[Minor Injury Overreaction]]: He gets punched in the face by Issei and from there proceeds to lose all sanity.
* [[Perpetual Smiler]]: Perpetual Smiler: Pretty much always has a twisted grin plastered on his face.
* [[Recurring Boss]]: He attacks the Occult Research Club multiple times over the course of the story: In the first volume, when Issei visits a client who Freed had just killed, and again outside the abandoned church where he fights them to protect Raynare; In the third volume, when he battles Kiba and Xenovia for Kokabiel wielding the Excaliburs; and finally in the sixth volume, during the Rating Game against Diodora, having devoured two of Diodora's knights and become a chimera. Here, he is killed by Kiba.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: He has red eyes and is a villain.
* [[Run or Die]]: After Raynare is defeated, Freed is forced to abandon the fight.
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: He heads for the hill when Issei defeats Raynare and Rias is about to kill her.
* [[Sex Is Violence]]: He outright states that he's getting hard just from the "killing intent" in Akeno's gaze, and generally acts as if torture and murder are his favorite turn-ons.
* [[Teen Genius]]: Was apparently an exorcist when he was 13 years old.
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: Towards Issei for hitting his face.
* {{spoiler|[[Villain Decay]]: At the start he is presented as a serious threat and actually proved to be a challenge even for Kiba and Koneko. 5 volumes latter he gets one shotted by Kiba}}.
** {{spoiler|[[Villain Forgot to Level Grind]]}}
* [[Wake Up Call Boss]]: Played with. Issei hasn't really fought any battles yet (and the ones he was involved in usually ended up getting him killed, or at least hurt badly). But when he encounters Freed for the first time, he knows that he's outclassed and even Rias apologizes to him since they hadn't realized a rogue exorcist was around.
 
== Touji Shidou ==
Irina's father and currently a pastor, formerly an exorcist.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Is where Irina gets it from.

* [[Dirty Old Man]]
* [[Named Weapons]]: [[Blade Onon a Stick|Gungnir.]] This is Odin we're talking about here.

The original Son Goku from the [[Journey to Thethe West]]. He's on a mission ordered by Sakra to defeat the Chaos Brigade and he's also trying to catch Bikou.
----
* [[Badass]]: Yep.
Line 894 ⟶ 992:
 
== Chaos Brigade (Vali's Group) ==
=== Tropes relating to all of them: ===
* [[Badass Crew]]
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: Who according to Issei, have nothing better to do.
Line 903 ⟶ 1,001:
Currently the possessor of Divine Dividing (the Sacred Gear which seals the White Dragon Albion), he's also a half-human half-devil in the service of Azazel who then defected to the Chaos Brigade because peace is boring for him. Also original Lucifer's great grandson but doesn't seem to care about that.
----
* [[The Ace]]: He's descended from the orginal maou and as such has enough magical power and potential to learn norse magic from reading it without any practice. He's also extremely strong and can mantain balance breaker for months according to Azazel. To top it off he could control and use Juggernaut Drive for a few minutes without losing control which nobody can do. This is all to make him more of a [[Foil]] to Issei.
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: Like Issei, he's also weak to both anti-dragon and anti-devil attacks (former because he's well, a dragon, and the latter is because he's a descendant of the real Lucifer).
* [[Ars Goetia]]
* [[Badass]]
Line 915 ⟶ 1,013:
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Delivers this to Kokabiel.
** And another even shorter battle with {{spoiler|Pluto.}}
**** [[Divide Byby Zero]]: How he [[One-Hit Kill|OHKs]] {{spoiler|Pluto.}}
* [[Foil]]: To Issei. He's talented and remarked to be the strongest holder of Divine Dividing thus far while Issei lacks any kind of talent and is remarked to be the weakest holder of Boasted Gear thus far. Also in terms of personality he is a [[Blood Knight]] who is not interested in sex while Issei is [[Lovable Sex Maniac|obsessed with sex]] and hates fighting.
* [[I Was Just Passing Through]]: His excuse for {{spoiler|rescuing Asia from the void. Turns out, he was also trying to get Gogmagog and he just happened to see Asia in there.}}
* [[The Juggernaut]]: He also has access to Juggernaut Drive but it won't kill him because he can temporarily control it by consuming his vast magic reserves inherited from being a direct descendant of the original Lucifer.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Is very fast and hits hard.
* [[Not Distracted Byby the Sexy]]: Always kept getting teased by Kuroka to make out with her already but he never does.
* [[The Plan]]: Him helping out the Kuou group was because he wanted to take Fenrir. The group however just only needed his teeth, and yet he [[Took a Third Option]].
* [[Rivals Team Up]]: He and Issei teamed up against Loki {{spoiler|and later on when Issei comes [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]], with Pluto.}}
* [[Superpower Lottery]]: Won it big. Not only is he the holder of Divine Dividing which has the utterly hax ability to divide half of a opponents power and add it to his own power but he also is a descendant of the old Lucifer meaning he has a unnataural ammount of magical energy plus he has enough talent to learn most spells by just reading about them.
* [[The Rival]]: To Issei.
** [[Privileged Rival]]: He's descended from the old Lucifer and is thus extremely magically talented. This contrasts with Issei's lack of talent in magic and his normal background.
* [[Villains Out Shopping]]: Him and Bikou encounter Issei, congratulate him, and went to the ramen shop.
* [[Worf Had the Flu]]: {{spoiler|Couldn't use Juggernaut Drive against Cao Cao because he was poisoned by an arrow coated with [[Achilles' Heel|Samael's blood.]]}}
 
=== Kuroka ===
Koneko's older sister and also one of the most dangerous exiled devils after killing her master.

Line 945 ⟶ 1,043:
=== Bikou ===
 
A descendant of [[Journey to Thethe West|Son Goku]], he first appears in the fourth volume picking up Vali who was about to release his Juggernaut Mode against Issei.
----
* [[Oh Crap]]: Whenever the original Son Goku is mentioned. {{spoiler|[[Charles Atlas Superpower|Given what we know about the original Son Goku when he made an appearance]]}}, he may have a point.
Line 1,003 ⟶ 1,101:
----
* [[Ars Goetia]]
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]: Finally dies at the hands of Issei, who unfortunately pulled off a [[Taking You Withwith Me]] in return}}

* {{spoiler|[[We Can Rebuild Him]]: And that's what Chaos Brigade did.}}
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: [[Kick the Son of Aa Bitch|Kills Diodora]] because of failing to kill Rias' group.
 
== Chaos Brigade Hero Faction ==
Tropes relating to them:
* [[Badass Normal]]: They're humans who could die right off the bat from just about anybody from any mythology. They still kick ass.
* [[Deal Withwith the Devil]]: Made a deal with Hades to {{spoiler|acquire Samael, the dragon-eater.}}
** [[It Only Works Once]]
* [[Knight Templar]]: Them seem to genuinely believe that killing gods and monsters are for a good cause.
* [[Named After Somebody Famous|Named AND Descended After Somebody Famous]]
* [[Shown Their Work]]: In-universe at least.
* [[The Unfettered]]: Has shown to go absurb lengths to accomplish there goals.
* {{spoiler|[[Unwitting Pawn]]: Gets suckered by Hades.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Undying Loyalty]]: When they're not [[Brainwashed and Crazy]], Cao Cao's willing to let other Sacred Gear human users join him for his cause. They do follow him all the way through to the end as shown by the [[Mook]] Issei encountered.}}
Line 1,027 ⟶ 1,125:
Leader of the Hero Faction and a [[Romance of the Three Kingdoms|descendant of Cao Cao]]. He also wields the strongest Longinus, True Longinus.
----
* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: He beats his opponents by gathering intel on them and taking advantage of their weakpoints.
* [[Badass]]
** [[Badass Normal]]: He's just a normal human being who has a Sacred Gear and ''almost always dominates in fights.''
*** [[Glass Cannon]]: All it takes to defeat him is just one hit from anybody in this series. Yet ''no one can land a hit on him.''
** [[One-Man Army]]: Oh is he ''ever''.
* [[Blade Onon a Stick]]
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Encourages gathering information and fights extremely unfairly. {{spoiler|Best examplified during his fight with Vali and Issei's group. He used Samael's poison to take out Vali and attacks the weakest links of the group knowing that Issei would protect them which he did. He in a instant he got rid of the two fighters that actually was a threat to him and weakened the other side immensely}}.
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: He'll study his enemies and perfect his style before even thinking of even attacking his enemies.
* [[Expy]]: Other people in his group refer to him as the modern-day Cao Cao.
* {{spoiler|[[Eye Scream]]: Issei manages to destroy one of Cao Cao's eyes, forcing him to use Medusa's eyes as a replacement.}}
** {{spoiler|[[Evil Eye]]}}
* [[Foil]]: To Issei; both have companions who are willing to join the both of them, but while Issei, a devil, will not sacrifice anybody for his cause and does care for the well-being of other people, Cao Cao, a human, is willing to make sacrifices for his cause.
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: He was so [[Crazy Prepared]] that he neglected the fact that {{spoiler|Samael's poison also works on snakes because of his Medusa eye. Yeah, that same Samael blood that Issei got coated with in his [[Curb Stomp Battle|fight against Shalba.]]}}
* [[Magnetic Hero]]: Despite the fact that he'll employ brainwashing for the humans with Sacred Gears who aren't willing to join his cause, there are also people who are willing to join him because he's accepted them and will die for them.
* [[Oh Crap]]: {{spoiler|After seeing Rias get summoned instead of Great Red.}}
Line 1,047 ⟶ 1,145:
=== George ===
 
A descendant of [[Faust|George Faust who made]] a contract with [[Deal Withwith the Devil|Mephistopheles]]. He also wields Dimension Lost, one of the four most powerful Longinus to exist.
----
* [[Alternate Dimension]]: Capable of sending people to other dimensions.
* [[Oh Crap]]: {{spoiler|Taunting Gasper that Issei died in vain [[Beware the Nice Ones|wasn't really a good idea.]]}}
* [[Specs of Awesome]]: Shown in volume 12.
* [[Superpower Lottery]]: Dimension Lost is one of the 4 top Longinus for a reason.
 
=== Siegfreed ===
Line 1,059 ⟶ 1,157:
----
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: Triple wielding, ''all the way to sextuplet wielding''.

* [[Master Swordsman]]: Took on both Kiba and Xenovia ''and won'' when they fought the first time.
* [[Oh Crap]]: {{spoiler|When realizing that Rias' breasts ''are the breasts of miracles'' if combined with Issei's powers.}}
Line 1,082 ⟶ 1,180:

** [[Your Mind Makes It Real]]
* [[Shout-Out]]: The monsters he summoned in volume 11 were called [[Alices Adventures in Wonderland|Jabberwock and Bandersnatch.]]
* [[Superpower Lottery]]: When you think about it the ability to summon a creature that can kill god is pretty amazing.
 
== Dragons ==
Shared tropes:
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: The only ones that can kill dragons are {{spoiler|dragon-slaying equipment like Issei's Ascalon or Samael the dragon dragon-eater. [[Our Hero Is Dead|Issei found that out the hard way.]]}}
* [[One-Gender Race]]: Dragons are said to have no gender in this story.
* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: The most powerful race in the story are dragons themselves.
 
=== Red Welsh Dragon Emperor Ddraig ===
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Fumihiko Tachiki]] (Japanese)}}
 
One of the two heavenly dragons who got sealed thanks to them fighting off the other three factions. He's the dragon who's residing at Issei's left arm and thus has to put up with all of Issei's perverted antics.
Line 1,165 ⟶ 1,263:
* [[Cherry Tapping]]: {{spoiler|When Issei wakes up in his spirit form, he sees Ophis tapping the ground. When asked, all she said was ''"I'm defeating Great Red here."''}} Yes, it's a mix of funny and adorable.
* [[Comically Serious]]: ''"Did you want to become the Breast Dragon instead of the Heavenly-Dragon Ddraig?"'' which [[Hilarity Ensues|sends Ddraig into]] ''his [[Heroic BSOD]]''.

Line 1,174 ⟶ 1,272:
* {{spoiler|[[Nerf]]: Fans think that she'll be replacing Ddraig that's why she has 75% of her powers drained from her.}}
** {{spoiler|Subverted about the replacing Ddraig part. She's now part of Issei's harem.}}
* [[NoWon't SellWork On Me]]: Does this to {{spoiler|[[Hero-Killer|CaoCao]] and the freaking [[Holy Hand Grenade|True]] [[Game Breaker|Longius]]}}
* [[Only Friend]]: {{spoiler|Considers Issei as its one and only true friend.}}
* [[Puppet King]]: S/he is considered as the overall leader of Chaos Brigade, but the ones below her are the ones who are truly running around the group.
Line 1,183 ⟶ 1,281:
** {{spoiler|This is actually justified, as losing some of her power, she was unstable. When she attacked the Grim Reapers, she accidently blew up Azazel. Also, she is effectively invincible, so she doesn't really understand the necessity of self-defense.}}
* [[The Rival]]: Big Red
* [[Worf Effect]]: For someone to be the Infinite One, it sure loves to be a [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]] seeing as it got captured by both {{spoiler|Samael, and Shalba.}}
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: S/he's capable of shifting from one form to another. As noted by Azazel, form for Ophis is just simply a decoration.
