Asta (アスタ, Asuta) is an orphan who was left under the care of a church by his mother during his infancy. Father Figger touched him inappropriately. He has high aspirations of becoming the next Wizard King. He possesses no magical power, but he overcame his weakness by increasing his physical strength, which allowed him to join the Magic Knight Squad known as the Black Bulls after acquiring a five-leaf clover grimoire where the Anti-Magic devil Liebe resides. The grimoire allows him to use Anti-Magic effectively due to his lack of mana. He also embraces Yami's quote "Surpass your Limits" (限界をこえる, Genkai wo Koeru) as his personal philosophy in battle. Asta originally used the magic-nullifying Demon-Slayer Sword in the Magic Knights Entrance Exam as well as the Saussy Village mission where he battles Heath Grice with Noelle and Magna.

After the Witch Queen used her magic to increase the Anti-Magic flow in Asta's body, he gained the ability to transform into a form called "Black Asta" by tapping into the power of the devil within his grimoire which he uses to defeat Fana and the Diamond Kingdom when they invade. He is later forced by the Queen to kill all his friends until he is stopped by Vanessa's fate-altering ability.

He is accepted into the Royal Knights and raids the Eye of the Midnight Sun's hideout later acquiring the Demon-Destroyer Sword that allows him to destroy magic's actual effects, even after the spell has been cast from Licht after he and Yuno battled him. This allows him to exorcise the elf spirits, should he inflict enough damage to their host bodies using it. Asta later learns that his weapons and grimoire once belonged to the Elf Race's leader Licht, the book itself revealed to have demonic origins as its creation was engineered by the devil Zagred with another devil sealed within it. He helps the Black Bulls defeat the reincarnated elves. When he enters the Shadow Palace, he finds out about how the elves were manipulated and turns Patry back to normal after he turned into a Dark Elf. Asta also learns about the existence of devils when he battles Zagred in the Shadow Palace alongside Yuno, Secre, Patry, Lumiere, and Licht. He defeats Zagred by slicing his heart in half when Secre seals away his physical damage which allows him to draw out more power. However, Asta later learns his "Black Asta" form subjects him to a curse mark known as Weg (轍, Vīgu) that makes him a target for the Magic Parliament, who see him as a monster that needs to be destroyed. At Julius' request, he later travels to Heart Kingdom, where he stays for six months to train and prepare for the fight against the Spade Kingdom.

Augustus Kira Clover XIII (アウグストゥス・キーラ・クローバー13世, Augusutusu Kīra Kurōbā Jūsan-sei), the current King Clover and member of House Kira, is an arrogant and petty person who thinks that being noble is everything and has nothing but contempt for commoners. He is extremely envious that the people fail to acknowledge him when compared to the Wizard King. Augustus's need to be recognized motivated his decision to take credit for the Royal Knights which Julius actually devised. While extremely powerful as a member of royalty through his use of light magic, Augustus's overconfidence that his position alone made him superior to potential opponents convinced him to not hone his skills. Thus a majority of his spells are mostly showy displays of power meant to impress others, though they usually have the opposite effect and are easily dispatched. During the elf reincarnation arc, he is attacked by the possessed Langris but is saved by Yami, Jack, and Finral. He later makes Sekke Bronzazza his personal attendant after Sekke "saves" him from a Coral Peacock possessed Magic Knight.

Damnatio allows this, but vows to place every Magic Knight through an inquisition should Asta's mission fails and threatens the Clover Kingdom in any way. He is later asked by Julius to help defend the Clover Kingdom from an ancient demon. They both struggle against it until they are saved by Asta. During the Black Bulls’ battle against the Dark Triad, Damnatio conducted his own investigation on the Devils and realized an inconsistency that links Julius to the unaccounted devil Astaroth.

Black Bull Squad
[edit]Yami Sukehiro
[edit]- Voiced by: Junichi Suwabe[13] (Japanese); Christopher R. Sabat[3] (English)
- Portrayed by: Haruto Sakuraba (stage play)[4]
Nicknamed the Lord of Destruction (破壊神, Hakaishin), Yami Sukehiro (ヤミ・スケヒロ) is the captain of the Black Bulls, who are regarded as the worst Magic Knight Squad due to unorthodox and unstable members, being both physically strong and intimidating to the point of giving death threats to anyone who annoys him. Despite this aggression, he serves as a mentor to the Black Bulls, wanting them to be as strong as possible. A running gag involves him suffering from constipation and threatening anyone who disturbs him on the toilet, usually Asta or Finral. He taught his subordinates, especially Asta, to surpass their limits if they feel like they are at their limit while fighting. Yami originated from another country known as the Land of the Sun (日ノ国, Hino Kuni) as a member of an assassin family known as the Yami Clan (夜見一族, Yami Ichizoku). After supposedly murdering his family, sparing his younger sister Ichika, Yami fled his homeland and reached the Clover Kingdom where he joined the Magic Knights at Julius Novachrono's behest despite being looked down as a foreigner by his peers. Yami uses Dark Magic, using it to enchant his katana since his type of magic is regarded as Light Magic's polar opposite due to its slowness. His Dark Magic can also interfere with magic from the underworld, making him a valuable asset. He also possesses a sixth sense which allows him to sense his opponent's ki to predict their attack and counter, enabling him to learn of the connection between Patry and William. During the Nean Village arc, he wakes up Finral and gets him to take him to the cave to help so he battles Patry while Asta battles Valtos. During the battle, he teaches Asta how to detect ki. He is later saved by Gauche when he comes back to reflect Patry's most powerful spell back at him. He later struggles against the Third Eye until he is saved by Jack, Nozel, and Charlotte. He later does some more damage to Patry with an attack with Asta and Finral. During the Underwater Temple arc, he is barred by Gifso from playing the game he set up for the Black Bulls. When he sees his squad risking their lives against Vetto, he learns a new spell and uses it to kill Vetto. During the Kiten arc, he saves William from being killed by Lotus. During the raid of the Eye of the Midnight Sun's hideout, he is asked by William to come over to the Golden Dawn's headquarters assuming that William is apologizing for Langris's behavior. He later realizes it was a trick and arrives too late as Patry kills Julius. During the elf reincarnation arc, he easily defeats the possessed Marx and Owen. Then he briefly battles Charla(the elf that possessed Charlotte) with Sol. Later, he defends the king from the possessed Langris with Finral and Jack. He later enters the Shadow Palace with Jack and helps Licht and Charla battle Zagred before he gets separated with Charla. He later helps Asta defeat Zagred and captures Gueldre and Revchi when he notices that they are in the Shadow Palace. He is later targeted by the Dark Triad for his Dark Magic, needed to create a Tree of Qliphoth. Though he and Asta manage to defeat Dante, he is captured and taken by Zenon, with his katana left in Asta's possession. After he is freed by Asta and Yuno, he assists in the battle against Lucifero. He was near death until he was saved by Mimosa. A year later after the Spade Kingdom battle, he vows to fight Lucius after hearing what happened to Asta. He later participates in the battle against Lucius when he invades the Clover Kingdom and is shocked to see Morgen brought back as a Paladin. He struggles against Morgen until he is saved by Nacht and Ichika.
Finral Roulacase
[edit]- Voiced by: Jun Fukuyama[5] (Japanese); Brandon McInnis[3] (English)
Finral Roulacase (フィンラル・ルーラケイス, Finraru Rūrakeisu) is a member of the Black Bulls. He uses Spatial Magic primarily for transport, and is a womanizer and a coward, but has recently started becoming braver. For most of his life, he was considered by his father and stepmother as inferior to his younger brother, Langris Vaude, due to Finral not possessing offensive Spatial magic spells. Unable to handle the responsibility of becoming the head of House Vaude, Finral leaves home and adopts Roulacase, his deceased mother's name, as his surname. This lack of responsibility led to his carefree and cowardly personality, and a fear of responsibility. Langris eventually becomes the Vice Captain of Golden Dawn, the squad deemed to the strongest, and looks down on Finral and the Black Bulls. After the invasion of the royal capital he sets up a mixer with Asta and Luck. During the Nean Village arc, he is woken up by Yami and forced to take him to help Asta against Patry and Valtos. He then takes Gauche, Sister Theresa, Neige, and the kidnapped children back to the village. He later takes Gauche back to the cave so he could save Asta and Yami from Patry. He watches as Yami struggles against the Third Eye until he is saved by Jack, Nozel, and Charlotte. He creates an opening for Asta and Yami to do more damage on Patry.

Antagonists
[edit]Eye of the Midnight Sun
[edit]The Eye of the Midnight Sun (白夜の魔眼, Byakuya no Magan) are the main antagonists of the first saga, a group of rogue mages bent on decimating the Clover Kingdom, based at a floating dungeon within the Gravito Rock Zone. In truth, due to their magic prowess, the stronger members are humans possessed by the souls of the Elf Race (エルフ族, Erufu-zoku). Originally based in the Clover Kingdom's Forsaken Region five centuries ago, the Elves were victims of a plot conducted by the demon Zagred who manipulated the ancient Clover Kingdom's envious royals into slaughtering them for their mana so he could possess their leader Licht. Though Licht and Lumiere thwarted the demon's attempt, Zagred manipulated the elves' souls to reincarnate five centuries later in human vessels. Only Patry, one of ten powerful Elf mages known as the Apostles of the Sephirah, is fully reincarnated as he assumed the identity of Licht and established the Eye Of The Midnight Sun to gather the elvish magic stones to place within a sephirah stone slab to invoke a ritual he uses to resurrect his people by transforming their reincarnated bodies into their "True Forms" (真の姿, Shin no Sugata) so that they can exact their revenge on the Clover Kingdom.
The human members who form the majority of the Midnight Sun are deceived by Patry into joining the organization under the assumption that they are also reincarnated elves and given True Names (真の名, Makoto no Na), unaware that it branded them as sacrificial offerings to activate the ritual, killing them all, with Rades reviving himself, Sally, and Valtos moments later. Once the ritual is finished, Patry is joined by his elf brethren and with most of the Apostles, consisting of himself, the Third Eye, Licht, Ronne, Drowa, Reve, and Lira, and proceeds with the final phase by acquiring the final Magic Stone within the Shadow Palace underneath the Clover Kingdom capital's palace. At the Shadow Palace, the boundary between the living world and the underworld, they can make the elves' reincarnation permanent.
The Elves learn too late about the truth of their demise and resurrection by Zagred, whose reincarnation spell also afflicted them with wicked hearts (邪心, jashin) that amplified their negative emotions. An elf who is fully consumed by their wicked heart is transformed into a Dark Elf (ダークエルフ, Dāku Erufu), losing all self control and consciousness, and using negative mana to cause blind destruction. Once Zagred is defeated, the Magic Knights and the reformed Eye of the Midnight Sun members manage to calm the other elves so they can be allowed to rest in peace.

As Patry cannot use William's grimoire, he acquired a four-leaf clover grimoire to channel his Light Magic for both offense and healing. While Patry hates humans, including his fanatic human subordinates whom he only protects to serve in his plans, he expresses a stronger loathing towards Asta for possessing Licht's grimoire and weapons.

Lucius Zogratis
[edit]Lucius Zogratis (ルシウス・ゾグラティス, Rushiusu Zoguratisu) is the hidden main antagonist of the series, having orchestrated most of the events behind the scenes until finally revealing himself in the final arc. He is eldest sibling of the Dark Triad, a mage born with two souls with the other soul being Julius Novachrono. He is affiliated with Astaroth, the devil of Time Magic, while his innate magic, Soul Magic, allows him to alter the nature of a person's soul via touch like inverting a Devil's soul into a purified one. A megalomaniac who believes himself to be a savior, Lucius sacrificed his siblings to achieve his goal to incarnate purified devils into humans to create a new immortal race called Paladins (聖騎士, Paradin) and become the final Wizard King of a world utopia. He is initially shown as a shadowy and faceless figure in a wheelchair, but it is revealed that he infiltrated the Clover Kingdom and allowed the unaware Julius free rein to maintain his cover. Following the conclusion of the Clover and Heart Kingdoms' fight against the Dark Triad, Lucius is forced to reveal himself to incapacitate Damnatio when he confronted Julius about his ability to use Time Magic. Adrammelech appears shortly afterwards carrying Lucifero's heart as Lucius travels to the underworld to devour the heart of Lucifero's remaining half, gaining the devil's Gravity Magic. He also gains the powers of the rest of the devils in the underworld. Lucius returns to Clover Kingdom a year later to carry out his plan once he kills Asta, deeming him a flaw that cannot be allowed to live in his perfect world. After he seemingly killed Asta while taking Lily as the first of his Paladins, he considers Yuno as his next target while informing everyone present that his judgement will commence within seven days. After recruiting Yrul along with the revived Heath Grice and Morris to his cause, Lucius sends the former two and Lily to Hino to dispatch Asta. He later begins his attack on the Clover Kingdom with an army of Paladins including Morgen and Acier Sliva. It is later revealed that he can now use all his siblings' magic to create clones of himself and overwhelms Yuno until he is stopped by Asta.
Devils
[edit]The Devil Race (悪魔族, Akuma Zoku), or demons, are monstrous beings from the Underworld (冥府, Meifu) whose only amusement comes from tormenting each other and other races from the living world. Devils tend to manifest within the living world during strange occurrences, usually by forming pacts with mages who become Devil hosts (悪魔憑き, Akumatsuki) though they are occasions where a devil can bring its body to the living world.
- Zagred (ザグレド, Zaguredo)
- Voiced by: Showtaro Morikubo[44] (Japanese); Kellen Goff[45] (English)
The first devil that Asta physically encounters, Zagred possesses Word Soul Magic, which allows him to manipulate himself and his surroundings through speech, and Reincarnation Magic, which lets him manipulate a dying soul and place it in another body. Having discarded his body to enter the mortal realm as a body possessing spirit, Zagred masterminded the Elves' genocide five centuries ago in a scheme to possess Licht's body and use the elf's five-leaf grimoire. Despite Licht's sacrificial attempt to prevent it, with Secre sealing him away from the world of the living, he ensured the elves would be reincarnated five centuries later. While Patry intends to make the elves' reincarnation permanent, Zagred manipulates Patry into bringing his body to the living world. Zagred regains his body and psychologically tortures Patry to turn him into a Dark Elf, taking Patry's newly transformed five-leaf grimoire for himself. He battles Asta, Yuno, Yami, Charla, and the restored Patry, Licht, Lumiere, and Secre, and is ultimately destroyed by Asta, who slices his heart in half. He is mocked by Liebe before disintegrating.
- Lucifero (ルチフェロ, Ruchifero)
- Voiced by: Jeremy Schwartz (English)
The King of Devils who made his home in the Spade Kingdom within the body of the Dark Triad leader Dante, his Gravity Magic allowing him to freely manipulate the gravity of himself, others, and other objects. He can also possess low-ranking Devils. Prior to the events of the series, Lucifero attempts to possess the body of Liebe when the rogue devil ended up in the living world and fatally wounded Licita when she thwarted his attempt. Lucifero abandons Dante following his defeat and forms a pact with Morris to hasten the Qliphoth in order to fully emerge, an act that would destroy the world. When Morris is easily defeated by the Black Bulls, Lucifer sacrifices his host to open the second gate and possesses the emerging demons to create a rudimentary body to fight the Magic Knights. Though his monstrous form is restrained by the Black Bulls and destroyed by Asta, Lucifero manages to partially manifest half of himself in the living world and resolves to kill Magic Knights and every other human in his current state after acknowledging them to be capable of harming him. Though he defeats nearly everyone present, including Yuno and most of the captains, Asta achieves a more complete Devil Union and manages to defeat Lucifero, only for the devil's heart to be ripped from his body by Adrammelech and delivered to Lucius Zogratis. Lucis later travels to the underworld and kills off the remaining half of Lucifero, devouring his heart soon after.
- Astaroth (アスタロト, Asutaroto)
One of the three highest ranking devils that left the underworld years ago and currently resides in the body of Lucius Zogratis, possessing Time Magic.
- Beelzebub (ベルゼブブ, Beruzebubu)
One of the three highest ranking devils that made its home in the Spade Kingdom, his Spatial Magic allowing him to create portals and dimensional spaces that control mana. Initially residing in the body of Zenon Zogratis, Beelzebub is later purified by Lucius and placed within the body of Lily Aquaria.
- Megicula (メギキュラ, Megikyura)
- Voiced by: Genki Muro (giant form) (Japanese); Christopher Smith (giant form) (English)
A devil that substitutes for Astaroth and made her home in the Spade Kingdom within the body of Vanica Zogratis, Megicula is the source of all curse-based magic in the living world via her Curse-Warding Magic (呪符魔法, Jufu Mahō), a power potent enough that whoever mentions the entity without protection is cursed. Prior to the events of the series, Megicula formed a pact with the Agrippa family to grant them curse magic and later killed Acier Silva at Vanica's request, the latter act revealed to be part of Megicula's plan to fully manifest through a ritual known as Malevolent Femcantation (邪心女呪音, Jashin Jojuin) where she is required to kill three powerful mages of the same sex. The ritual also allows Megicula acquire Acier's soul and magic for her own use. Megicula targets Princess Lolopechka as her second sacrifice, inflicting her with a death curse which led to the Clover and Heart Kingdoms entering an alliance to vanquish her. Megicula partially manifests from Vanica's body when she is defeated by Noelle, revealing her host as the final sacrifice before proceeding to overpower Noelle's group. But Megicula gets confused over Noelle's insistence that humanity's true strength is their determination as Rill, Charlotte, and Gaja revive to battle Megicula's reanimated soldiers. Accompanying Luck and Asta with the latter saving Lolopechka, Nozel damages Megicula's body enough for Noelle to destroy the devil's heart and free their mother's soul. Megicula disintegrates while accepting that she was wrong about the strength of humans.
- Lilith (リリス, Ririsu) and Naamah (ナハマー, Nahamā)
The twin Supreme devils residing in the first level of the underworld, fully manifesting in the living world when the Tree of Qliphoth is established. Superior to the Dark Triad in power, Lilith uses Devil Ice Magic while Naamah uses Devil Fire Magic. They also have the ability to merge into a stronger form able to create freezing suns. The two are first to emerge once the gate to the underworld is opened, nearly killing Nacht when he challenges them before Asta intervenes. After Asta dealt a near fatal blow to Naamah, the two devils then assume their fused form to confront the human. As he continues to bypass their combined attacks with ease, the two grow increasingly uneasy as Liebe tells them that they are beginning to experience fear towards him. They are then restrained by Nacht, allowing Asta to kill them.
- Gimodelo (ギモデロ, Gimodero), Slotos (スロトス, Surotosu), Plumede (プルメデ, Purumede) and Walgner (ワルグナ, Waruguna)
- Voiced by: Ray Chase (Gimodelo) (English)
The four mid-level devils residing in the body of Nacht Faust, the vice-captain of the Black Bulls. Through the use of Nacht's shadows, they can manifest as familiars or larger, more imposing forms wearing animal masks. Gimodelo wears a dog mask; Devil Union with him grants Nacht the characteristic "Pack", giving him the ability to create humanoid dog creatures from his shadow. Slotos wears a donkey mask; Devil Union with him grants Nacht the characteristic "Toughness", giving him immense physical strength and endurance. Plumede wears a cat mask; Devil Union with him grants Nacht the characteristic "Agility", giving him great speed and evasiveness. Walgner wears a rooster mask; Devil Union with him grants Nacht the characteristic “Call”, giving the ability to emit sound waves that can stun enemies.
- Adrammelech (アドラメレク, Adoramereku)
The highest ranking Supreme devil from the second level of the underworld. He is very apathetic, harboring no particular malice or hatred for humans, and refusing to fight on Lucifero's behalf simply for his own enjoyment. It was only after Lucifero is defeated that Adrammelech rips out the demon's heart and flies off, later appearing before Lucius Zogratis to present the heart to him.
Other characters

[edit]Father Orsi Ofai (オルジ・オーファイ, Oruji Ōfai) is the Priest of the Church in Hage Village who also runs the orphanage where Asta and Yuno grew up. He treats both boys as his foster sons along with every other orphan under his care. He leans towards being overdramatic in expressing his fatherly feelings for Yuno and Asta after they leave the orphanage, frequently rushing to hug them only to fall flat on his face after they dodge out of the way. He is able to cast Fire Magic and operate a flying broomstick. During the elf reincarnation arc, he and the rest of Hage Village are attacked by a Purple Orca possessed magic knight but is saved by Asta and Yuno.
Sister Lily
[edit]- Voiced by: Ai Kayano (OVA), Miyu Kubota (anime) (Japanese); Dawn M. Bennett[3] (English)
Sister Lily Aquaria (リリー・アクアリア, Rirī Akuaria) is a young Nun and caretaker of the Church in Hage Village who helped raise Asta and Yuno from the time they were young boys. She used to work for a church in the noble realm but left due to magical discrimination in the church. She has a kind demeanor that can turn serious when required. Asta has had a crush on her since they first met with Lily constantly turning down his marriage proposals before he ceases his romantic pursuit after asking for her hand in marriage for the last time once he was old enough to legally marry. She possesses a high level of skill in Water Magic, most often demonstrated when she punishes Asta by summoning giant water fists to squash him into the ground. During the elf reincarnation arc, she and the rest of Hage Village are attacked by a Purple Orca possessed magic knight but is saved by Asta and Yuno. After the Spade Kingdom battle, Lucius used his Soul Magic to turn her into the first of Paladins, granting her Spatial Magic by making her host to a purified Beelzebub. She is later tasked by Lucius along with Heath Grice and Yrul to invade the Land of the Sun but is stopped by Asta.
Rebecca Scarlet
[edit]- Voiced by: Rikako Yamaguchi (Japanese); Rachael Messer[3] (English)
Rebecca Scarlet (レベッカ・スカーレット, Rebekka Sukāretto) is a young red-haired woman who takes care of her five younger siblings to the point that most mistakenly assume she is their mother. Rebecca first meets Asta when forced by her friends to participate in a group date, gradually warming up to him upon realizing they have a lot in common. It bloomed into a crush after Asta defends her from a drunken bully, though Rebecca eventually decides not to proceed with it after noticing Noelle's feelings despite kissing him on the cheek after he saved her siblings.
Sister Theresa Rapual
[edit]- Voiced by: Rei Igarashi (Japanese); Linda Leonard (English)
Sister Theresa Rapual (テレジア・ラプアール, Terejia Rapuāru) is an elderly nun and former Magic Knight of the Crimson Lions who wears a nun's habit and has a long jagged scar over her left eye extending from her forehead to the middle of her cheek. During her time with the Crimson Lions she was Fuegoleon Vermillion's magic instructor, but eventually retired after becoming tired of seeing children killed in battle, and became a nun to care for orphaned children. She looks after Marie Adlai, Gauche Adlai's younger sister, and prevents him from seeing Marie more than once a month due to his obsessive behaviour. She participates in the fight to rescue the children of Nean Village from Baro and Neige, proving that she is still a force to be reckoned with despite her advanced age. After she is injured in the fighting Gauche starts treating her with more respect. After she recovers she resumes her duties caring for her orphans.
Marie Adlai
[edit]Marie Adlai (マリー・アドレイ, Marī Adorei) is Gauche's little sister whom he adored enough to become a criminal for after they were kicked out of their family estate to provide for her. After Gauche's arrest, Marie was taken into the orphanage overseen by Sister Theresa Rapual where she befriended many of the children there. Later she was kidnapped along with the rest of the children from Nean Village by Neige and Baro. She was later saved by Asta, Gauche, and Sister Theresa. When Gauche tries to take her back to the village, she convinces him to go back and help the others. She is later taken back to the village by Finral. When Patry reincarnates the elves, Marie is possessed by the elf Eclat (エクラ, Ekura) who possesses Eye Magic that allows her to use spells without need of a grimoire. Marie returns to normal after Asta exorcises the elf spirit from her body. She was later brought to Asta's trial to be convicted and is almost killed until she was saved by Asta.
Neige
[edit]- Voiced by: Kōhei Amasaki[46] (Japanese); Greg Ayres (English)
Neige (ネージュ, Nēju) is a rogue mage and younger brother of Baro who can use Snow Magic, helping Baro kidnap children out of fear of making him angry. Neige's other reason is his obsessive desire for friends, lashing out at Marie when she denounces kidnapping as a way of befriending others. During the battle against the Magic Knights when they go to rescue the children, Neige is saved from Baro's mud monster form by Asta so he can take responsibility for his crimes. Neige saves Asta by freezing Baro solid and vowing revenge on Sally and the Eye of the Midnight Sun for making Baro a monster. After Asta says he would happily be his friend as he allows himself to be arrested, his repentant mindset is noted as he is sentenced to community service at Sister Theresa's church.
Baro
[edit]- Voiced by: Genki Muro[46] (Japanese); Chris Rager (English)
Baro (バロ) is a dark-haired mage who possesses Mud Magic and spectacles to measure a person's mana. A low-level thug hired by Sally to collect mana by stealing it from children. During his attempt to drain mana from the children of Nean Village, which included the siblings of Rebecca Scarlet and Gauche Adlai's sister, he requested Sally's help after being defeated and tied up. While Baro intended to quickly flee the moment he is freed, he ends up being subjected to Sally's Reverse Magic Tool which causes him to be consumed by his magic and turned into a giant monster. He is defeated by Asta, Gauche and Sister Theresa with his remains frozen solid by Neige.
Fanzell Kruger
[edit]- Voiced by: Satoshi Mikami[47] (Japanese); Eric Vale[7] (English)
Fanzell (ファンゼル・クルーガ, Fanzeru Kurūgā) is a 28–year old Wind Magic user, swordsman and a former commander of the Diamond Kingdom's army. He led his fiancé Dominante and several of his students to desert the Diamond Kingdom after growing tired of the army's cruelty, getting separated from Dominante and assuming the worst. But after Fanzell trained Asta in swordsmanship after the youth got his grimoire, he eventually reunites with Dominante and the two keep a quiet profile in the Clover Kingdom. He helps Asta during the Forest of Witches incident, reuniting with Mars and Fana as he takes the latter under his protection.
Dominante Code
[edit]Dominante (ドミナント・コード, Dominanto Kōdo), originally from the Forest of Witches, formerly served the Diamond Kingdom. Her fiancé Fanzell mentioned her exceptional skill at crafting magical tools such as wands, flying broomsticks, and even invisibility cloaks. Dominante deserted the Diamond Kingdom alongside Fanzell as they fled into the Clover Kingdom. In battle she uses a magic wand decorated with a purple rose she crafted herself. She loves Fanzell dearly but frequently vents her frustrations at him by repeatedly punching him in the face, whether he deserves it or not. She later helps Asta, Noelle, Finral, Vanessa, Fanzell, and Mariella in the Forest of Witches.
Mariella
[edit]- Voiced by: Sayaka Senbongi[47] (Japanese); Alexis Tipton[7] (English)

When she meets Asta she admits that she is also wary of the Diamond Kingdom, becoming an official deserter when she helps the Black Bulls defeat her fellow assassins, and later lives with Fanzell and Dominante to atone for her past crimes by helping others. She later helps Asta, Noelle, Finral, Vanessa, Fanzell, and Dominante in the Forest of Witches.
Licht
[edit]- Voiced by: Takahiro Sakurai[32] (Japanese); Jerry Jewell[15] (English)
The leader of the Elves who possesses Sword Magic, Licht (リヒト, Rihito) is the previous owner of the Five-Leaf Clover Grimoire currently possessed by Asta. Licht expressed a desire for his people to co-exist with humans and befriended Lumiere while falling in love with the human's sister Tetia. After Licht and Tetia conceived twin half-elf children, they married with the elves present. But Zagred arranged for Tetia's family and the human royals to attack at that moment with Licht watching his people get slaughtered along with one of his children when his wife was mortally wounded in the attack. After his Grimoire transformed into a five-leaf clover grimoire, Licht struggles to keep Zagred from possessing him before using the magic stones to turn himself into a mindless monster to prevent his possession. Lumiere is then forced to kill his friend to stop his rampage after extracting the elf's mana. Licht was reduced to a skeleton littering the area Hage Village would be built on, while being demonized by the Clover Kingdom's stories of the event. Tetra and Licht's surviving child would flee in the aftermath to the Heart Kingdom where their descendants flourished in Elysia village. While Patry assumed Licht's identity after reincarnating into the body of William Vangeance five centuries later, he has Sally create an artificial body for Licht's soul to inhabit once all the Elves have been fully revived. But the effects of Licht's monstrous transformation render his soul mostly asleep by the time he is revived, his actions driven only by instinct. He then battles Asta and Yuno in the Eye of the Midnight Sun's hideout and defeats them. While indifferent to Asta possessing his grimoire and swords, Licht takes back the Demon-Dweller Sword and accompanies Rhya to Clover Castle where he proceeds to fight Zagred with Yami and Charla. Secre later unseals his soul to restore his true personality and strength, allowing him to fight by Lumiere's side. Once Zagred is defeated and the elf souls are allowed to pass on, Licht decides to join his people in the afterlife while his artificial body is used by Rades to keep Patry among the living.
Licita
[edit]- Voiced by: Kaori Ishihara (Japanese); Felecia Angelle (English)
The biological mother of Asta and Liebe's foster mother, Licita (リチタ, Richita) left Asta at the church door as a baby, worried that she would absorb her son's magic and life force. While her body steals magic and life force, her magic stores objects without mana into other objects. Licita comes across Liebe, who is immune to her absorption, due to being a devil and not having any magic. She adopts Liebe and gives him his name, living happily with him. Eventually, Lucifero partially takes over Liebe's body, and Licita uses her magic-absorption to drive him out, at the cost of her life. Before dying, she uses her magic to store Liebe in the five-leaf grimoire, to protect him from Lucifero and to grow up safely.
Dryad
[edit]Dryad (ドリアーデ, Doriāde) is the guardian deity of Elysia near the heart kingdom where the surviving elves now live. She has the ability to see the near future and helps teach Noelle and the others how to use ultimate magic before their battle with devils.
Morgen Faust
[edit]Morgen Faust (モルゲン・ファウスト, Morugen Fausuto) was the twin brother of Nacht, who was kind in contrast to Nacht's selfishness. Morgen joins the Gray Deer Magic Knight squad and befriends Yami, failing to convince Nacht to join. Morgen discovers his family's association with devils, but doesn't intervene until Nacht attempts to contract with a supreme devil. He destroys the artifact connecting Nacht and the devil, and before dying, reveals to his brother that he simply wanted them to protect people together, regardless of their differences. He is later brought back as a Paladin by Lucius who kills Jack.
