** Lampshaded by Haqua:

{{quote|"At any rate, your plan sure is clever! {{spoiler|The Goddesses want to quickly release their hosts.}} And in order to do that, they need {{spoiler|the [[Power of Love]].}} But with the [[Finagle's Law|current state of affairs]], only you can realize their dreams. There's no time to find {{spoiler|new love.}} In the end, {{spoiler|[[Batman Gambit|the Goddesses]]}} have no choice but to {{spoiler|accept you}}. Even if you are [[Handsome Lech|the worst of all men]]. Not even [[Emotion Eater|the Weiss]] can compare to you. You definitely are the worst sort of '''Big Bad Guy'''!!"}}

** His first name is also a homonym for Knight, a minor point for the Nanaka arc, referring to the "keima" shogi piece whose chess equivalent is the "knight".

*** Another minor point, to go with the [[Tarot Motifs|card motif]] of his capture targets, there is a [[wikipedia:Knight (playing card)|Knight card]] of a [[wikipedia:Standard 56-card deck|standard 56-card deck]].

=== Mio Aoyama ===

[[File:TWGoK2.jpg|frame]]

 

A haughty girl whose father was the head of a major company. Unbeknownst to her classmates, her father had actually passed away recently, and Mio is actually poor now, but she's too proud to admit it. She makes a brief appearance during Yui's capture.

* [[Rich Bitch]]: The way Mio interpreted her father's words made her turn out like this, even when she was broke. She got better.

* [[Shana Clone]]: A deliberate homage to the trend.

* [[Tsundere]]: Lampshaded.

* [[Tsurime Eyes]]: [[Rule of Three|One of the characteristics by which Keima identifies her as a tsundere.]]

* [[What Could Have Been]]: In the one-shot prototype, she was Keima's first capture, had a more normal physique and no twintails, and was still living in luxury. The prototype also did not give captured girls [[Easy Amnesia]], so she remained infatuated with Keima, much to his chagrin.

 

=== Kanon Nakagawa ===

=== Shiori Shiomiya ===

[[File:TWGoK4.jpg|frame]]

 

A very shy girl who loves to read books, and the secretary of the school's Book Committee. She spends most of her time practically living in the school library, where she has developed an emotional attachment to the books. Her arc focuses around her difficulty in speaking to others.

* [[Stellar Name]]: ''Tsukiyo''=A moonlit night

** Also the doll's, ''Luna''=Moon

* [[Tsundere]]

* [[Unnamed Parent]]: Only her mother is named.

* [[Red Herring]]: The 'ghost' that is seen early on looks like Airi and she has some social issues, so the natural assumption is that she's the capture target. However, Keima realizes quickly enough that Airi has no problems with her lifestyle and therefore no gap.

* [[Talking the Monster to Death]]: {{spoiler|Rather than capture the Runaway Spirit by filling the gap in Rieko's heart (a return to her youth), Keima has Elsie explain to the Spirit that Rieko is far too old to bear children, the mechanism by which it would have been reincarnated. Realizing that [[Failure Is the Only Option]], the Spirit surrenders.}}

 

=== Sumire Uemoto ===

 

=== Hinoki Kasuga ===

 

The elder sister of Kusunoki Kasuga. An eccentric fashion designer, actress, and artist who always carries around a megaphone. Came back to Maijima City after 5 years.

* [[The Quiet One]]

* [[Shrinking Violet]]

* [[Visible Silence]]

 

== The Katusragi Family ==

=== Mari Katsuragi ===

 

Keima's mother, an ordinary Japanese housewife... who used to run with [[Delinquents|biker gangs]]. She runs a little cafe from the Katsuragi home, "Cafe Grandpa". She loves Keima, but worries about his future. She adores Elsie, whom she thinks is her husband's illegitimate daughter, and treats her like her own.

* [[The Stoic]]
