=== Ayumu Aikawa ===
[[File:kore_wa_zombie_desu_ka_ayumu_4974.jpg|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Takuma Terashima]] (Drama CD), [[Junji Majima]] (Anime) [Japanese] and Austin Tindle [English]}}
 
The [[protagonist]] of the series. An [[Ordinary High School Student]] killed by {{spoiler|Kyoko}} before the start of the series and revived as a zombie by Eucliwood Hellscythe. Technically he is now under her servitude, but more often than not he's the one running the household.
-----
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Accidental Marriage]]: With Maelstrom, after [[Accidental Kiss|accidentally kissing]] her.
* [[Alliterative Name]]
* [[Amusing Injuries]]
* [[Ass Shove]]: Twice in the OVA, causing temporary [[Wimpification]]. He also gets one with a flower in the first ending theme and a bunch more in the Of the Dead's ending theme.
* [[Back Stab|Back Stabbed]] [[Impaled Withwith Extreme Prejudice|with Extreme Prejudice]]: How he died in his [[Backstory]].
** He's been stabbed [[Four Is Death|four times]] since becoming a Zombie, including once by Sera as part of his own [[Batman Gambit]] against {{spoiler|Kyoko}}.
* [[Badass Cape]]/[[Frills of Justice]]
* [[Barehanded Blade Block]]: Pulls one against {{spoiler|Kyoko}}.
Line 19 ⟶ 20:
* [[Chainsaw Good]]
* [[Covert Pervert]]
* [[Cross DresserCrossdresser]]: Both as a Masou-Shoujo and as a [[Cat's Eye|Kisugi sister]] parody. The former mode puts him in a pink frilly dress, and the latter mode (seen in the OVA) puts him in a unitard. Apart from those examples, episode 6 of season 2 has him crossdressing to advertise the tsundere cosplay cafe per popular demand.
** [[Dragged Into Drag]]
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Not exactly a moron per se, but Ayumu is mostly a servant to his ladies. But beware: given the chance, he can {{spoiler|rip a Whale Megalo's head off, tear Kyoko to shreds with the Mystletainn, or punch the King of the Night out of immortality}}.
* [[Cursed Withwith Awesome]]: Being a zombie grants him functional immortality, regeneration and [[Super Strength]]. Becoming a masou-shoujo gives him even more powers. However, he lacks a number of [[Required Secondary Powers]], meaning his body will tear itself apart if he uses his super strength too much, and his masou-shoujo outfit is intensely humiliating (but thank God for that [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|memory-wash ability]] taken from Haruna).
** In ''Of The Dead'', he loses his [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]] ability since he broke Mystletainn.
*** He actually popularize the outfit after the incident.
* [[The Dead Can Dance]]: By proxy since becoming a zombie hasn't affected his ability to breakdance.
* [[Death Byby Origin Story]]
* [[Death Is Cheap]]: Naturally comes with his new lease of (undead) life.
* [[Detachment Combat]]
* [[Explosive Overclocking]]: Ayumu can push his body past its human limits. This tends to leave him crippled afterwards, however.
* [[Expy]]: Doesn't he look like [[Higurashi no Naku Koro Nini|Maebara Keiichi]] to you?
* [[Genre Savvy]]: During the Tsundere challenge.
* {{spoiler|[[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: After blowing himself up, Ayumu [[Heroic BSOD|blames himself for being too weak to protect Eu]]. Haruna (whom Ariel helped mind-dive into his subconscious) knocked some sense into him, convincing him to come back to life.}}
Line 37 ⟶ 38:
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: He always gets better (even from otherwise fatal injuries), but this is still played straight {{spoiler|at the end of Episode 10, when he takes the time bomb the King of the Night placed on Haruna's head, allowing it to explode in midair, literally tearing himself apart. His [[Heroic BSOD]] at that moment also made his "death" a little bit longer. Haruna, Seraphim and Maelstrom reassemble him at the start of Episode 11, but it took Haruna's mind-dive to finally convince him to come back to life.}}
* [[Hidden Depths]]: He can breakdance.
* [[Imagine Spot]]: [[Once A Episode]] with Delusion Eu.
{{quote| "This is the fantasy of our weak-hearted protagonist, Aikawa Ayumu."}}
* [[Knight in Shining Armor]]: Swears to stay by Eu's side even after she tearfully confesses to her horrifying secret.
* [[Magical Girl]]: [[Wholesome Crossdresser|Uh, guy.]]
Line 56 ⟶ 57:
*** Speaking of which, he thought he'd finally be able to get over the incident after Mystletainn was fixed, but his classmates had him [[Dragged Into Drag]] again afterwards anyway, this time to advertise the tsundere cosplay cafe.
 
=== Eucliwood Hellscythe ("Eu") ===
[[File:kore_wa_zombie_desu_ka_eucliwood_8459.jpg|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Yukari Tamura]] (Drama CD), Midori Tsukimiya (Anime - Main), [[Kotono Mitsuishi]], [[Mika Kanai]], [[Tomoko Kaneda]], [[Yuko Minaguchi]], [[Satomi Koorogi]], [[Sakura Tange]], [[Yuki Matsuoka]], [[Noriko Hidaka]] (Anime [Season 1 Delusion]), [[Fumi Hirano]] (OVA [Delusion)], [[Aya Hisakawa]] (Season 1 [Episode 0 Delusion]), [[Kikuko Inoue]], [[Omi Minami]], Kimiko Koyama, [[Mariko Kouda]], [[Etsuko Kozakura]], [[Chisa Yokoyama]], [[Mayumi Iizuka]], [[Sumi Shimamoto]], [[Yui Horie]] (Anime [Season 2 Delusion]) [Japanese] and [[Cherami Leigh]] [English]}}
 
A necromancer and possibly the most powerful {{spoiler|masou-shoujo}} ever, able to both kill and revive a person with her voice alone. As a result, she only speaks through writing words on a notepad, and constantly wears plate armor just to prevent her powers from going out of control.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]
* [[Badass Adorable]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: Never treat death casually around her. Fortunately for everyone nearby, it just gets her annoyed (like Haruna, who got a slap). You'd know if she got '''really''' angry (just ask {{spoiler|Kyoko}}).
* [[Big Eater]]
* [[Blessed Withwith Suck]]
* {{spoiler|[[Blood Magic]]: How she heals people.}}
* [[Blue Eyes]]
Line 79 ⟶ 81:
** {{spoiler|After the events of Episodes 11 and 12, this is starting to slip a little. In the OVA she occasionally cracks jokes, albeit still in writing, and actually writes out "wwww", the Japanese equivalent of the [[Emoticon]] "LOL".}}
* [[Hair Decorations]]
* [[Evil Laugh]]: During the [[Cat's Eye]] parody in her [[Talking Withwith Signs|usual fashion]].
* [[Expy]]: Shares a little bit of [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Literature)|Yuki Nagato]], [[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight|Saber]] (armored dress and [[Big Eater|appetite]]) and [[Rei Ayanami Expy]].
* [[I Am a Monster]]: [[Cry Cute|Tearfully]] calls herself one before Ayumu, on account of her powers. [[Knight in Shining Armor|The guy thinks otherwise]].
* {{spoiler|[[Idol Singer]]: Steals the entire competition from Haruna, Seraphim and Sarasvati with her words' powers temporarily transferred to Ayumu via Ariel's machine. Then she's joined by Haruna due to said machine temporarily breaking down.}}
Line 95 ⟶ 97:
* [[Pretty Freeloader]]
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]
* [[Reality Warper]]: Capable of doing this by speaking and emotionally.
* [[School Swimsuit]]
* [[Shameless Fanservice Girl]]: Her reaction to her [[Stripperiffic]] bikini {{spoiler|Ayumu accidentally put her on with his thoughts temporarily powered by her magic}} was "Stimulating".
Line 102 ⟶ 104:
* {{spoiler|[[Supernaturally Delicious and Nutritious]]: Her magic draws Megalo to it.}}
* [[Superpower Lottery]]: She is without a doubt the strongest character shown thus far, able to kill by speaking. This leads to...
** [[Story -Breaker Power]]: She could easily [[Curb Stomp Battle|defeat]] everybody introduced thus far. The only problem is that [[Technical Pacifist|she is against violence and doesn't like to hurt people]]. {{spoiler|This especially doesn't help her when one of her old friends, Yoruno/The King of the Night, wanted to end his life at her hands, forcing him to harm her newfound family just to provoke her into ending his immortality-induced misery.}}
** [[Superpower Russian Roulette]]: But she can't control it by normal means.
* [[The Voiceless]]: Subverted. She can talk, but due to her [[Power Incontinence]], she communicates through [[Talking Withwith Signs|written notes]] instead.
** {{spoiler|She speaks in episode 11 and in episode 12 she '''sings''', though only because her powers are temporarily transferred to Ayumu so she can do so. Also with the help of Haruna. She does again in episode 7 in ''Of The Dead'' thanks to Haruna borrowing her mana.}}
* [[24-Hour Armor]]
* [[Leotard of Power|Unitard Of Power]]/[[Sensual Spandex]]: During the [[Cat's Eye]] parody in the OVA. She says (or, more accurately, ''[[Talking Withwith Signs|writes]]'') that it's for "aesthetics".
* [[When She Smiles]]: At the end of Episode 4.
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]
Line 116 ⟶ 118:
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]
 
=== Haruna ===
[[File:kore_wa_zombie_desu_ka_haruna_4832.jpg|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Kaoru Mizuhara]] (Drama CD), [[Iori Nomizu]] (Anime) [Japanese] and Jād Saxton [English]}}
 
A self-described genius "masou-shoujo" from Villiers who fights Megalo, though her genius seems based in a whole different universe. Her weapon of choice is a pink chainsaw named Mystletainn, but she accidentally transferred most of her powers to Ayumu while trying to erase his memory. Now only he can wield Mystletainn against the Megalo while she regenerates her powers. In the meantime, she's squatting at his house and cooking fried egg in all its forms.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[A -Cup Angst]]: Is jealous of the fact that she has the smallest bust out of the gang. Heck, even Eu ''is'' bigger, if only slightly, than her.

* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: Able to correctly predict the questions on Ayumu's math exam by looking at his problems.
Line 134 ⟶ 137:

* [[Do -It -Yourself Theme Tune]]: Her Japanese voice actress, [[Iori Nomizu]], sang both opening themes, ''Ma-Ka-Se-Te Tonight'' ("Leave It to Magic Tonight") and ''*** Passionato''.
* [[Empathic Weapon]]: Her Mystletainn, whose allegiance shifted to Ayumu after absorbing most of her powers. {{spoiler|However, in Episode 11 it reaffirms Haruna's ownership of it, allowing her to transform full-time again and help Ayumu double-team the King of the Night.}}
* [[Hair Decorations]]
Line 160 ⟶ 163:
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]
 
=== Seraphim ===
[[File:kore_wa_zombie_desu_ka_seraphim_960.jpg|frame]]
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Shizuka Itou]] (Drama CD), [[Youko Hikasa]] (Anime) [Japanese] and Morgan Garrett [English]}}
 
A beautiful, skilled vampire ninja obsessed with her sword technique. She came to ask for Eu's help in a secret war her clan is fighting, but after losing a fight against Ayumu decided to stick around his house instead. She can make sharp objects out of leaves.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Actor Allusion]]: [[Youko Hikasa|Her]] [[Catgirl|cat-]][[K-On!|ears experience]]. Amusingly enough, earlier in that same episode, Maelstrom pulls off the "Moe Moe~ KYUN!" stance while her classmates are trying to help her get {{spoiler|Ayumu}} to reciprocate her love for him.
** The [[Ninja Maid]] scene that serves as the season's climax, though, ''does'' play this straight, minus the "Moe Moe~~ KYUN!" bit.
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Type III when she's introduced. She's probably Type II by the current point in the story.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Lifesaving]]
{{quote| "You're a crossdressing [[Catch Phrase|piece of shit]] festering in a bag of rotten garbage, but I believe in your strength."}}
* [[Atomic F-Bomb]]: When she figures out Ayumu {{spoiler|is the reason she and the rest of the girls at the indoor water park ended up wearing extremely [[Stripperiffic]] swimsuits}}, she yells "You piece of '''''SHIT!!!!!!'''''" as she smashes his face in with her foot.

Line 191 ⟶ 195:
* {{spoiler|[[Elegant Classical Musician]]}}
* [[Hair Decorations]]
* [[Expy]]: Think of a more criminally sexy, more badass, more foul-mouthed [[K-On!|Mio Akiyama]] (with the [[Youko Hikasa|same voice actress]] to boot). {{spoiler|Also replace the bass with a violin.}}
* [[Family-Unfriendly Violence]]: Becomes a victim of the worst non-fatal in-series example of this in Episode 10 (never mind that deaths here are often bloody, {{spoiler|her eventual [[Disney Death]] from a separate attack by Yoruno later on included}}, if not graphic). She reveals that {{spoiler|her own comrades did this to her after [[You Have Failed Me...|Sarasvati had put a hit on her as punishment for abandoning her mission to assassinate Eu]]}}.

* [[Kaleidoscope Eyes]]
** [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]/[[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: Her eyes glow red as a warning she's ready to kick ass (usually Ayumu's).
* [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: A positive example -- {{spoiler|because she relented on her order to kill Eu, the latter resurrected her with some of her own blood after the King of the Night kills her.}}
* [[Lesbian Vampire]]: Comes across as this in Episode 5 by way of giving Haruna a mouth-to-mouth anesthetic before sucking some blood out of her. Come Episode 7, it is revealed that a heterosexual kiss is tantamount to a [[Shotgun Wedding]] in her culture.
Line 208 ⟶ 212:
* [[Ninja]]
** [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: Vampire ninja maid.
** [[Ninja Maid]]
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: Able to grow bat-wings that let her fly and conjure weapons from leaves. Occasionally needs to drink blood, using her kiss as an anesthetic. Apart from that, indistinguishable from a normal human (and can even walk under direct sunlight).
* [[Perpetual Frowner]]
Line 214 ⟶ 218:
* [[Sexy Backless Outfit]]: Her [[Stripperiffic]] idol outfit.
* [[She's Got Legs]]

* [[Winged Humanoid]]
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Despite her contempt for Ayumu, she nevertheless respects -- and even starts to somehow mellow out to him on account of -- his combat talent.

{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Mamiko Noto]] (Drama CD), [[Hisako Kanemoto]] (Anime) [Japanese] and [[Brittney Karbowski]] [English]}}
 
Another vampire ninja (from a faction which rivals Seraphim's) who fights Megalo with bowls of pork ramen. After accidentally kissing Ayumu, she finds herself married to him (becoming the fourth girl in [[Unwanted Harem|Ayumu's harem]]) thanks to the traditions of her family, but seems okay with it.

* [[Hime Cut]]
* [[Hot Chick Withwith a Sword]]

Line 296 ⟶ 302:
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: {{spoiler|She orders Seraphim to assassinate Eu to prevent her powers from attracting more Megalo, then puts a hit on Sera herself for disobeying her orders, but is nevertheless willing to save her and Haruna from the King of the Night and even helps the former (together with Maelstrom, herself from a rival clan) seal away the gates to the netherworld.}}

** {{spoiler|Averted in Episode 8 of Season 2, where she outright states that even she's confused by these feelings for him, after stabbing him yet again with her sword. She then tells him her punishment is to be forgotten by everyone, but he promises her he won't, no matter how much time passes.}}
