Expect lots of [[World of Badass|Badass Tropes]].

 

 

[[File:53240.jpg|frame]]

 

 

An immortal werewolf placed in jail for taking Mabaa's left eye. Despite being so dangerous and powerful, his personality is quite silly. He can also be serious and cunning when needed, but he usually isn't since he can't die. {{spoiler|Recently he is helping the DWMA to fight the Kishin with Eruka}}

* [[An Ice Person]]: Free uses Ice based magic, but his personality is a little off from the usual.

* [[Big Badass Wolf]]: The whole werewolf deal you know and can be pretty darn badass when he wants to be.

* [[Magic Misfire]]/[[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: Happened two times during his first fight after 200 years, the second time resulting in him becoming a [[Human Popsicle|Wolfman Popsicle]]

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Names himself Free after beeing freed by Medusa.

* [[No Sense of Direction]]: In the Baba Yaga arc of the manga. He was supposed to destroy tower 1 and he went toward tower 2 instead. In the end he ended up at tower 8. Besides towers 2 and 8 were opposite to each other. He had been in Baba Yaga's Castle for a pretty long time by then... I mean that's just messed up.

* [[Not-So-Great Escape]]: When Eruka got him out of jail and he was still restrained. He talked pretty darn loud. The guards found out and surrounded them. He then kills them all in about thirty seconds.He was about to bust Eruka out of Jail but he was easily caught

* [[Our Werewolves Are Different]]: Voluntary shapeshifting, full control of his mental faculties, just as strong in human form as in wolf form (but no tail or claws/bite) and apparently immortal by nature before he stole Mabaa's eye.

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: If he wasn't immortal, he would have accidentally killed himself dozens of times over.

* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: Free has stated that his werewolf form is his true form.

* [[Unskilled but Strong]]: After years of imprisonment, let's just say that Free has gotten a little bit... rusty... with his magic skills. At one time, he even manages to encase himself in a block of ice! However, when he does get it right, he's a major threat, not to mention the fact that he can afford to be unskilled due to the fact that he is ''immortal.''

 

[[File:24946.jpg|frame]]

 

 

Ragnarok is Crona's Demon Sword partner. He shares a body with his meister and loves to bully and torment him/her at every opportunity.

* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]: In the anime {{spoiler|when Crona jumps in front of Medusa's vector attack to save Maka, Ragnarok comes out of the resulting pool of blood yelling that they're both going to die and it's all Maka's fault, "but at least stupid Crona isn't alone in the end."}}

* [[Body Horror]]

* [[Bloody Murder]]: He's Crona's [[Equippable Ally]] made out of black blood, after all.

* [[Bully and Wimp Pairing]]: Bully to Crona's wimp.

* [[The Imp]]

* [[Jerkass]]: Has been a pretty consistent one throughout all his different forms.

* [[Vibroweapon]]: He vibrates by [[Make Me Wanna Shout|screaming]].

 

[[File:37588.jpg|frame]]

 

 

The legendary sword used by heroes and kings. In spite of his immense powers, Excalibur hardly ever has a meister because no one can put up with his unbearably grating, loudmouthed, egomaniac personality. He usually resides in a cave full of fairies, who also can't stand him.

* [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]: Can cut through Dimensions. its just ''one'' reason why he's called THE most powerful weapon in the setting

* [[Awesome but Impractical|Awesome But]] [[The Scrappy|Intolerable]]

* [[Fearless Fool]]: More in the anime, where he's pretty much the only one that isn't afraid of Asura's power.

** Justified since he is that powerful.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Excalibur is '''''[[Naruto|Pain]]'''''?!

** [[Deadpan Snarker|Yes]]. [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Yes it certainly is]].

** According to the anime, he was a lot more coherent in King Arthur's day. And also had a cool beard. Apparently his sanity is directly proportional to his amount of facial hair.

** Note that in his first appearance, Excalibur was willing to cut his list of 1,000 requirements down to 800 in return for being wielded as a weapon by Kid or Star. Presumably, a sufficiently persuasive Meister could negotiate him down to something manageable.

* [[Large Ham]]: Picking [[Takehito Koyasu]] for his Japanese voice role and [[Troy Baker]] for his English couldn't possibly have been unintentional. And yes, they overact like hell and obviously had fun doing it.

* [[Phrase Catcher]]: "SO ANNOYING!"

* [[Running Gag]]: The [http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/227/1287208133569.png 'I-Have-Met-Excalibur' face].

* [[Smug Smiler]]: Sort of.

* [[The Scrappy]]: An in-universe example (and a [[Base Breaker]] on the audience). He's so ungodly annoying that he causes the exact same pained facial expression in everyone who meets him. [http://www.mangareader.net/soul-eater/74/25 This includes] {{spoiler|the Book of Eibon's Table of Contents}}, which ''[[Rule of Funny|doesn't have a face]].''

** Another example is that Black☆Star's [[Leitmotif]] involves a line specifically underlining that he can't stand Excalibur. This in [[It's All About Me|Black Star]]'s [[Leitmotif]]. The fact that he took time out of praising himself just to single out someone he doesn't like speaks volumes.

* [[Secret Test of Character]]: Almost every question that comes out of his mouth is a [[Secret Test of Character]]...that only makes sense to him.

* [[Talkative Loon]]

* [[Talking Weapon]]: And singing... and dancing... and ''never shutting up''...

 

[[File:33707.jpg|frame]]

 

 

Giriko is a Demon Weapon and an ally to the witch Arachne. He lives for fighting and destruction, and takes the form of a chainsaw in weapon form.

* [[Ax Crazy]]: Is he ever.

* [[Badass]]

* {{spoiler|[[Gender Bender]]}}: {{spoiler|Since his latest kid was a girl he had no choice but to transport his mind into her, effectively changing genders.}}

* [[Foe Yay]]: Admits he has some for Maka. {{spoiler|Considering he was a girl by then, it also counts [[Les Yay]]}}. Let the [[Interplay of Sex and Violence]] begin!

** Whoa, he's like the [[Evil Counterpart]] of [[Handsome Lech|Spirit]].

* [[Immortality]]

* {{spoiler|[[Self-Disposing Villain]]}}: {{spoiler|See Karmic Death}}

* [[Slasher Smile]]

* [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]]: Is quite fond of this trope.

* [[Undying Loyalty]]: For Arachne.

* [[Unknown Rival]]: To Justin, {{spoiler|before joining him}}.

* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: {{spoiler|Hasn't taken the death of Arachne very well at all.}}

* [[Yandere]]: For Arachne.

** {{spoiler|After her death, Giriko proceeded to try to rape Maka and then attempted to kill both her and Soul, ranting about how they had to die because of what they had done to her.}}

 

[[File:38743.jpg|frame]]

 

 

A demon blade called the Uncanny Sword and Tsubaki's estranged older brother, resenting her for being a more gifted weapon than he.

* [[Aloof Big Brother]]

* [[Badass]]

* [[Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe]]: He seems rather fond of talking like this.

 

[[File:38749.jpg|frame]]

 

 

Mosquito is Arachne's butler. His appearance is a short old man with a large pointy nose which is used to suck the blood out of a victim.

* [[Badass Grandpa]]: Until he pulls off the [[Bishounen Line]].

* [[Battle Butler]]: For Arachne.

** Considering he kind of looks like a bishounen Dracula, [[Vampires Are Sex Gods|that's probably true]].

* [[The Dragon]]

 

 

 

* [[Big Bad]]: In the anime version at least, still open for debate in the manga though. But the battle of the Moon states otherwise considering that the Kishin is the last major villain, as well as the most active villain, and possible end boss. Also he's responsible for the Kishins be born and madness in the first place.So he does qualify as the Big Bad for the entire series.

** [[Bigger Bad]]: Bigger than Arachne, potentially bigger than Medusa. However he rarely gets any screen time and is only briefly seen in flashbacks, or mentioned at all. But he still remains a major threat.

* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Attacking the bystanders in the Death Room to force Shinigami to [[Taking the Bullet|take the 'bullet']] [[Tear Jerker|himself]]. Also, interrupting Kid's longer-than-usual transformation sequence by skewering him.

** Also when he realizes he's {{spoiler|[[What Is This Thing You Call Love?|started to feel something for Arachne]], he kills her to keep anyone from using her against him}}.

* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: {{spoiler|It's been stated in the manga that he is a "Great Old One", along with the other Eight Warlords, he himself implied to be the "[[Anthropomorphic Personification]] of the Madness of Terror."}}

** [[Humanoid Abomination]]

* {{spoiler|[[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good]]}}: {{spoiler|Asura is defeated in the anime because he cannot comprehend the concept of courage.}}

* [[Eyes Do Not Belong There]]: Not on your hands, your forehead, and ''especially'' not ''[[Up to Eleven|inside]]'' your normal eyes!

* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: Having your skin ripped off and turned into a bag with which to seal your soul for all eternity. No wonder he's even crazier when he comes out.

* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: A vajra that fires laser beams?

* [[Not So Different]]: A pale, extremely anthropophobic, insane person who betrayed Shibusen, has Black Blood, has a weapon inside his/her own body, and is "allergic to rules". Waitwaitwait- are we talking about Asura or Crona?!

* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]: His primary weapon, which can easily impale you. Plus they're made of his own skin.

* [[Sealed Evil in a Can|Sealed Madness In A Can]]

* [[The Corrupter]]:Asura creates an army of clowsn and has them corrupt people such as Justin.

* [[Ubermensch]]: Anime-only, from his [[Reason You Suck Speech]] to Shinigami-Sama in Episode 48, he can be seen as this.

 

 

[[File:33712.jpg|frame]]

 

The {{spoiler|False}} 3rd [[Big Bad]] of the series,{{spoiler|(the greed incarnation of)}} Noah originally appeared to being working for Arachne, until it's revealed that his true goal is to use the Book of Eibon to absorb and "collect" everything, which he feels in essence would make him "everything". {{spoiler|In truth, he's not actually human, but a projection from the Book of Eibon used to carry out its will.The first Noah is greed and the second Noah is wrath but is more of a secondary villain.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Artificial Human]]: After he gets killed, the "Table Of Contents" in the Book of Eibon reveals he was a manifestation of the Greed chapter, called a "statue." Another one is sent out, this time of the Wrath chapter, thus leading to...}}

** {{spoiler|[[The Nth Doctor]]}}

*** He also collected {{spoiler|Excalibur. Freaking "He's So Annoying Everything Wants To Kill Him" Excalibur}}. You do ''NOT'' get stranger than that.

* [[Dissonant Serenity]]: Never shows anything stronger than mild irritation, {{spoiler|even when he's sucking people up into his book}}.

* [[Great Big Book of Everything]]/[[Tome of Eldritch Lore]]: The book of Eibon. He thinks by collecting everything in the world that [[A God Am I|he will become a god]].

* [[Legacy Character]]: It would seem Noah would at least ''like'' to be something this, as he's used Eibon's name for "brand recognition", as mentioned above.

* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]: {{spoiler|Stein, Sid, Marie, Nygus and Tezca}} never stood a chance.

* [[One-Man Army]]: {{spoiler|As Spartoi found out.}}

The above mentioned abomination sealed with Noah's Book of Eibon. {{spoiler|It claims that it was one of the Eight Warlords, along with Shinigami, Ashura, Eibon, and that those eight are and were truly beings known as the Great Old Ones, "existences which drive men to madness", to paraphrase the thing.}} It can give power at the cost of one's sanity, similar to the effects of Black Blood.

* [[Ambiguous Gender]]: It's a massive, inky black mass, and only ''very'' vaguely humanoid. So it seems safe to say that Atshushi is justified in ''this'' case.

* [[Fan Nickname]]: Its title is often shortened to "GOO", which, nicely enough, also describes its apparent form quite well, other fans simply call it The Black Mass.

* {{spoiler|[[It's All My Fault|It's All Our Fault]]}}: {{spoiler|It states that the Great Old Ones' very existence influenced madness and that they were ultimately responsible for the madness that was Asura.}}

** It's also staying there by choice, for its own vague reasons, and has the power to get out any time.

 

[[File:63266.jpg|frame]]

 

Gopher has a rather aggressive and violent nature, especially if it is concerning insults made towards Noah, whom he is both extremely protective over and obsessed about. Gopher personally believes that he is the only one who can satisfy Noah. Justin also describes Gopher as always being uptight. He later demonstrates a tendency to bite his top lip whenever he becomes enraged.

* [[Battle Butler]]: To Noah

* [[Crazy Jealous Guy]]

* [[Death Glare]]: Subverted; he tries, but just achieves a [[Narm|ridiculously pouty inverted-V face]]. Unfortunately for Death the Kid, his pout is silly, but [[Berserk Button|asymmetrical]].

** It doesn't look asymmetrical at first, but Kid could see the differences, they're near microscopic.

* [[Fan Nickname]]: Waffles.

* [[Large Ham]]: "NOAH-SAMAAAAAAAAA!"

* [[Yandere]]: To the point of parody. Gopher seems to think ''everyone'' is a rival for "Noah-sama's" affection.

 

 

A small, unassuming creature that acts as a guide inside the Book of Eibon, leading its visitors through the book's chapters until they reach enlightenment or madness. {{spoiler|It's actually the 3rd [[Big Bad]] of the Series ,the book's "intelligence" and Noah's puppetmaster, with desires to take the Kishin for itself so it can "educate" the world with Asura's madness.}}

* [[Evil Mentor]]: {{spoiler|It wants to be one of these for the ''whole world,'' corrupting everything with the knowledge and secrets that Eibon locked away.}}

* {{spoiler|Madness Mantra}}: {{spoiler|A quite epic one:}}

* {{spoiler|[[The Man Behind the Man]]}}: {{spoiler|Is revealed to be the one behind Noah's actions (and who created him in the first place.}}

* [[Tome of Eldritch Lore]]: It essentially ''is'' one.

* [[Verbal Tic]]: Depending on the translation, "squideed" or "outdeed" for "indeed," followed by a hasty correction.

 

 

A samurai with a soul so strong that it counts for ninety-nine souls by itself. Black Star was about to take his soul but stopped when he saw how Mifune was protecting the young witch, Angela. He acts like a big brother or even a father to Angela.

* [[Anti-Villain]]

** Made even clearer in the anime, in which his soul is blue (i.e. uncorrupted).

* [[Friend to All Children]]: ''His primary motivation''. Just in case, y'know, him being an [[Anti-Villain]] wasn't clear enough.

* [[Hair of Gold]]: Manga only.

* [[Master Swordsman]]

* [[Morality Pet]]: Angela.

* {{spoiler|[[You Killed My Father]]}}: {{spoiler|Anime only, in which he is responsible for killing Black?Star's father, White Star. Subverted in that he doesn't die. Also, Black?Star holds no grudge against Mifune for that specifically, as he knows [[Complete Monster|his father]] deserved what was coming to him.}}

 

 

Insanity incarnate, it was born as a result of the madness Asura released into the world. Maka and Soul first encountered it in a twisted factory where it tried to drive them both insane, but they defeated it with Maka's anti-demon wavelength. It escaped, and has since allied itself with Noah's team and with Justin Law in particular.

 

Recently, Medusa has {{spoiler|taken to creating her own artificial Clowns: the Black Clown, which has similar capabilities to the original, and the Violet Clown, a "portable" model shaped like a crescent moon that defends her from insanity and amplifies her attacks}}.{{spoiler|Asura has created more clowns on the moon}}

* [[The Corruption]]: It and the Black Clown spread insanity just by existing.

** In turn, the Clowns rise from the corruption of Asura's insanity. {{spoiler|Asura's dwelling is ''packed'' with them.}}

* [[It Got Worse]]: There is now a bunch of these things running around.

* [[Mind Rape]]: Pulls a particularly nasty one on Maka.

* [[The Dark Chick]] well on Noah's/Table of Contents's team.

 

 

 

The mysterious creator of BREW, the Eternal Spring, and the Book of Eibon, among other demon tools. Eibon was one of Shinigami's eight warriors, alongside Asura. Not much else is known about him.

* {{spoiler|[[The Atoner]]}}: Anime only. {{spoiler|He sided with Arachne to save his lover from death, and turns himself into the key to unlock BREW for Shinigami to use when he failed.}}

* [[The Faceless]]: Due to wearing several masks and an ornate robe during his only comfirmed appearance.

* {{spoiler|[[Soul Jar]]}}: {{spoiler|The anime incarnation hid himself inside the Key of Eibon.}}

 

 

 

The Dutchman is the soul of the ship Nidhogg, who fought Death the Kid while collecting souls for the Kishin. He later appeared as a factory which housed The Clown. Ultimately, he was destroyed, after being toyed with by Blair.

* [[Genius Loci]]: A ship, and, later, a factory.

* [[Nice Hat]]: Of which he is very protective.

* [[Self-Destruct Mechanism]]: His second form included one that would actually kill anyone who touched it; he tried to goad Blair into pressing it by claiming it would kill ''him''. However, Blair tricked him into pressing it himself, so he died, taking the factory with him.

 

 

 

A little girl who lives in Shibusen with her parents. {{spoiler|And becomes Medusa's host unwillingly.}}

 

 

* {{spoiler|[[Adult Fear]]: Your cute five-year-old (insert: daughter, sister, cousin, ward, neighbor, etc.) goes pets a stray dog while walk down the street. After that she starts talking to herself while watching TV for way too long and acting like a zombie. Later that night you have a glimpse of a super creepy viper, and your little girl cries and claims to have seen it too. The morning after, she keeps acting creepy and kills a spider with her own hands... and starts talking like an adult and acting cold to you, addressing you as if you were a stranger. And ''then'', she vanishes right in front of your porch, and you can't do anything abut it. '''Yikes.'''}}

* [[Barrier Maiden]]: Sorta. {{spoiler|Medusa not only possesses her, but uses her as a hostage: yeah, she ''did'' promise to leave Rachel's body, but it doesn't mean she can't use Rachel's age and pawn condition to her advantage.}}

* [[Creepy Child]]: {{spoiler|Not her fault. Dammit, Medusa.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Fille Fatale]]: Sorta, since Medusa keeps acting as [[The Vamp]] while in the poor little girl's body, doing so specially to drive Stein and others mad. [[Squick|Aaaaaaauuuugh]].}}

* {{spoiler|[[Grand Theft Me]]: On the receiving end.}}

 

A weapon who takes the form of a giant harpoon gun. He is traditionally wielded by a different person for his village's annual [[Giant Flyer|sky whale]] hunt.

 

 

* [[Cool Old Guy]]

* [[Student and Master Team]]: He's far older and more experienced than his meisters, and guides them during their hunts.
