Product Information

In the case of Leon, he considers the possibility that Leon might have some understanding of the true nature of the world that Kaito does not, and that it may very well have given him no other choice than to do what he did. He also makes it clear that even if that really is the case, he couldn't care less and will pursue his vengeance against him no matter what it may cost. Even if that cost is The End of the World as We Know It. Demon Lords and Archdevils: Kaito was summoned to kill the demon lord. But out of everyone he considered a companion in the first timeline, she was the only one to never betray him, and in fact, gave up her life for his sake.

Horrible Judge of Character: Kaito himself notes that he was so easily manipulated, not because his enemies were particularly good actors, but because he himself was too trusting. He is thoroughly cured of that in the second timeline. Keryll easily believed Lucia's lies that Minnalis had been bullying her. Minnalis convinces a bunch of undead that everything wrong in their lives is his fault.Deceased Parents Are the Best: Averted with her mother, Maryse, who agreed to be sold into slavery, and took the brunt of the abuse from the slave merchant and their fellow slaves, to save her, dying as a direct result. Played straight with her father however, after he sold them both out to save his own skin. Asshole Victim: Each of them is guilty of discrimination, enslavement, betrayal, or a combination of the three (usually all of the above and worse). Not only do they deserve the hell Kaito puts them through, if not worse, seeing them utterly broken and losing everything they care about is cathartic. That's how despicable they are.

Birds of a Feather: Those Kaito recruits happily join him precisely because the betrayal they endured and their thirst for revenge is an eerie mirror of his own, sometimes even triggered by the same people who wronged Kaito. Inventing new torture methods is basically a hobby for Kaito and his party members. They also take pleasure and satisfaction in inflicting pain upon others. Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: As is revealed at the epilogue of the Grond Dot arc, her older sister was apparently murdered by elves, and whatever "oracles" she gleams from "The Great Spirit" are horribly garbled, after being able to commune only once a month, thus making her unable to get confirmation. This does not excuse or explain her genocidal hatred for all other non-human races, the fact that she sees those of other worlds, that she herself summons, as "monsters in human skin" even when they are 100% human, and why she wants so desperately to enact a horrific slavery policy on the vast majority of her 100% human subjects. Especially since she only had contempt for her family in the first place. The Hero Who Seeks Revenge Shall Exterminate With Darkness where the protagonist was betrayed by their comrades and suffered through many traumatic experiences, later becoming a powerful Anti-Hero/ Villain Protagonist that seeks revenge on their traitors. One of Kaito's spirit swords removes the target from the cycle of Reincarnation completely, causing Cessation of Existence. It also Retgones them, making it so that they never existed except in the memories of those who witnessed their demise.No Name Given: Not himself, but he was smart enough to Not tell Alesia his name when he escaped after coming out of Tutorial Mode.

Little Bit Beastly: Aside from her rabbit ears and tail, she could pass as a human, and often uses illusion magic to do so.Big Sister Bully: Despite being the younger sister, she loves to "lovingly" torment and demean Kaito.
