Maoyuu Maou Yuusha/Characters: Difference between revisions

Sorted by '''English Name / Japanese Name''' (due the characters having ''titles'' as names, [[Translation Style Choices|different translations]] are bound to happen, so the original japaneseJapanese names are placed for consistenceconsistency).

* {{spoiler|[[Black Knight]]: After wearing the Demon Armor given to him by the Demon Queen, he becomes the Dark Knight, her enforcer in the Demon world.}}

* [[Magic Knight]]: Is not only a good swordsman but a magic user as well, for instance teleporting so casually that short-range teleports are part of his way of dodging in a sword fight.

* [[One-Man Army]]: Was able to infiltrate the Demon Queen's castle and fought her minions all by himself! Later it is stated that no matter how many, or which army the Hero may face, he ''will'' win against it.

** When rescuing Fairy Queen from the Black Wolf Forces, he took down entire companies -- allcompanies—all by himself, of course. The Wolves were shocked. Then Fairy Queen warned of the dangerous Demon Wolf General, not knowing that <s>Hero</s> Dark Knight had defeated him (paralyzed him with magic and then knocked him cold with a forehead flick) moments before. When she learned, she was astonished, but told him that the Black Wolf King was even more powerf--

* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: When told to make a "flashy" display of his powers, he vaporized approximately half of a nearby mountain. It took him about five seconds.

* [[Happily Adopted]]: Thanks to Hero, Demon Queen and Head Maid, the Sisters' lives are much better than their old life as serfs.

* [[Take a Third Option]]: Noble Youngster appointed Big Maid Sister to take charge of some leaderless mercenaries. Her first tactical decision, they challenged, had to be a question of fighting or fleeing the Holy Key Legionnaires. The Third Option she came up with was successful enough that the troops accepted her as their new commander.

* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Big Maid Sister, while posing as Crimson Scholar and shackled for what was meant to be public humiliation followed by execution, gave a [[Rousing Speech]] that led to the crowd throwing stones not at her, but at her captors. And then Winter King personally parried the executioner's sword. She triggered rebellion against the [[Corrupt Church]] with nothing more than words. She's come a '''long''' way from the serf tearfully hiding in a stable. Note that while the crowd thought she was Crimson Scholar, their benefactor, Winter King knew the truth (see WMG).

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: "Knight of the Demon Mask", "Superhuman Princess" and "Female Assassin of Stone-Wall Iris".

** [[Cute Bookworm]]: But cute also.

Prince of the Winter Nation.

Was once known as Archer,. Butler was one of the Hero's companions before the Hero's disappearance and went to become the Winter Prince's servant.

* [[The Archer]]: Twisted with a statement that he's called Archer because his targets are struck down "as if they were pierced by an arrow" -- but—but Lady Knight, at least, has never seen him with '''any''' weapon in his hand. [[I Have the High Ground|Standing atop a tall pole]], he simply gestures ... and several enemy soldiers fall, apparently spurting blood. So it seems he's some sort of wizard rather than a literal mundane archer. Either that or he's got a '''lot''' of unnoticeably small but especially effective [[Stock Ninja Weaponry|shuriken]].

* [[Badass Grandpa]]: Fought alongside the Hero. The anime, at least, hints that he may have been Hero's guardian/tutor when Hero was a small boy.

* [[Worthy Opponent|Worthy Former Opponent]]: He acknowledged Duke Silver Tiger and Beast Fang Clan as fellow Proud Warrior Race Guys. The King couldn’t yet bring himself to eat and drink with the Duke even after {{spoiler|a joint battle against a mutual enemy}}, but nonetheless ordered that Beast Fang troops be given supplies. Duke Silver Tiger told his warriors to lift their spears in salute to King Iron Fist.

The Merchants Union is a large organization in charge with the Southern Kingdoms war effort. Despite being the official war supplier for the humans, the Union has no loyalty to the human kingdoms and are only helping them [[Only in It For the Money|for the money]]. [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|The Union is a very powerful organization]] and to ensure they stay on top, they'll eliminate anyone who threatens their power. Their motto is: "Thou shall be a merchant before a human, Thou shall be a merchant before a faithful servant of the Church." Basically, they're [[Star Trek|Ferengis]].

* {{spoiler|[[Rousseau Was Right]]: Despite his belief in making money no matter what, he is won over by the Crimson Scholar's wish to help end the War by peaceful means. Her altruistic ways convinces the Young Merchant to agree to help her plant corn at the other nations.}}

** The Comic Clear manga shows Young Merchant, '''before''' meeting Crimson Scholar, being disgusted by the idea that money was '''all''' that was important -- andimportant—and wishing he could find some more worthy cause.

* [[Badass Bureaucrat]]: Asks for the Archduke Fire Dragon's surrender, admits upfront he needs it because there is no way in hell he'd ever win in actual fight, {{spoiler|then lays out a trade proposal that would literally be idiotic for the Archduke Fire Dragon to screw up lest his people suffer unless he cares more about his own pride.,}} and manages to bloodlessly get the Archduke Fire Dragon to knuckle under.

* [[Depending on the Artist]]: He's an old man with a monocle in the Comic Clear version while in the Comp Ace version, he's a younger man with a ponytail. In the anime, he actually seems younger -- andyounger—and much less sure of himself -- thanhimself—than Young Merchant.

A [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Fire Dragon]] and leader of the demon Dragon Clan.

* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: Calm, steadfast belief in her father's victory -- andvictory—and even when he lost, she's perfectly willing to become the Dark Knight's wife/whatever if he reclaims Gateway City, no real questions asked ... ([[All Amazons Want Hercules|though she does seem to be looking forward to it]]). Knowing [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|who her father is]], she's probably [[Lady of War|quite the fighter too]].

A fairy and Queen of the Fairy Clan.

Leads Beast Fang Clan, composed of several types of predatory [[Petting Zoo People]]. They, or at least the land-dwelling varieties, like to build mountain castles rather than live in cities, and demand several square kilometers of hunting ground for each member of the clan. So they were interested in new habitats in the Human World -- "''Lebensraum''" -- and—and that was '''their''' reason for supporting the war. South Arctic General and his forces, as well as the Black Wolf Clan who’d kidnapped Fairy Queen, were/are part of this clan.

* [[Hot -Blooded]]

* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: It doesn’t seem like it at first, but after he found out the dishonorable methods {{spoiler|Blue Demon Seal King was using to usurp the throne ... and that a member of Beast Fang was part of it}}, he became The Atoner -- andAtoner—and surprisingly clever at peaceful solutions.

=== Patterned Chief (alternatively Tattooed Chief) / Mon’you no Osa ===

Head of Giant Clan. Demon Queen indicates they’re literally [[Gentle Giant]]s; "...they have a line they never cross. They never go further than to a defensive threat. If you talk to them for a while, you’ll find that they are quite timid and genuinely honest." Unfortunately, their [[Fairy Tale]]s are full of innocent Giants being tricked and [[Made a Slave]] by [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters|unscrupulous humans]].

A demon waitress who works in a human bar. Later becomes something of a protégé and aide to Grand Princess Fire Dragon.

* {{spoiler|[[Rape as Drama]]: It is '''strongly''' hinted she was raped by human soldiers.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Know When to Fold'Em]]: {{spoiler|He peacefully surrenders Gateway city to the Demons in order to protect his men and the humans living there.}}

* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: {{spoiler|In order to protect the human citizens of Gateway City, he {{spoiler|refuses to join the Holy Crusaders' Commander in abandoning it. He's willing to usesuse peaceful, diplomatic solutions to keep both the humanhumans and demon citizensdemons at peace.}}

The East Fortress General's Second-in-command.

* [[Number Two]]

The leader of the Holy Crusaders that control Gateway city. He is also the White Night King's nephew, and is just like his uncle.

* [[Dirty Coward]]:{{spoiler| Like his uncle. He {{spoiler|abandons Gateway city rather than protecting it, and sacrifices his men to the retreating demons of Aurora island in order to escape.}}

* [[Hypocrite]]: Claims his "Holy" Crusaders [[Holier Than Thou|would never associate with filthy demons]] despite the fact his men are spending time with (which often means raping) female demons.

* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]: When heHe tries to murder the Maid Sisters, but Warrior Youngster defends them. The Commander finds out the fatal way that Warrior Youngster has Taken a Level in Badass as well as in Kindness.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Laser-Guided Karma]]: For{{spoiler|Because abandoninghe abandoned Gateway city and sacrificingthen sacrificed his Crusader's lives to escape Aurora island, he's arrested and brought to the Holy Kings Land capital for trial. While imprisoned}}, he loses an eye, apparently in an attack by rats. It seems to be averted for a while when he's given command of his uncle's troops to invade Iron Nation.

* [[The Neidermeyer]]: {{spoiler|He's fooled into {{spoiler|following the Dark Knight/Hero in circles, so that by the time the Crusaders reach Aurora island, Winter Nation troops are already attacking South Arctic General's forces. The retreating demons easily decimate the exhausted Crusaders.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: Due to the Hero and the Fairies giving nightmarish illusions to him and his men, {{spoiler|the Commander goes nuts and decidedecides to abandon Gateway City and its citizens. He heads back to Aurora island, [[Bad Liar|claiming his troops will help reclaim the islandit]]}}.

[[Took a Level Inin Badass|Eventually]] Merchant Youngster becomes {{spoiler|Winter Nation's Finance Minister}}, Noble Youngster carries out {{spoiler|diplomatic missions mostly for Ice Nation -- and also negotiating with Young Merchant}}, and Warrior Youngster {{spoiler|defends Iron Nation against an attack, reminding his outnumbered troops that they're not fighting for glory, but protecting their homes and families. They ''kick butt''. He also saves the Maid Sisters' lives}}.

* [[Naive Newcomer|Naive Newcomers]]s

* [[Only Sane Man]]: The Merchant Youngster seems to have comparatively more sense than the other two.

* [[Straw Character]]: Warrior Youngster initially believes women shouldn't be warriors, thinks everyone should devote themselves for the war effort no matter the price, and thinks starvation doesn't exist -- orexist—or it's a person's own fault if they're starving. It's no surprise Lady Knight, Demon Queen and Big Sister Maid have something to say about those views.

* [[I Will Wait for You]]

* [[Blonde Guys Are Evil]]

Despite the title, he’s the Spirit of Light Church equivalent of the Pope.

* [[Creepy Souvenir]]: He’s acquired the eyes of the late {{spoiler|Blue Demon Seal King -- with the sigil still glowing in them.}}
