Saigiku Jōno

• Personality: A completely blind esper who compensates for this with phenomenally developed other senses. Outwardly, he is polite, calm, speaks in a soft tone, and is always smiling. In reality, he hides pronounced sadistic tendencies: Jono loves to listen to the rapid heartbeat of a frightened victim and manipulate people. He has incredible intelligence.
• Ability: "Priceless Tears." Allows him to disintegrate his own body into microscopic particles (the size of a cell). This makes him invulnerable to physical attacks, allows him to pass through walls, penetrate any premises, and attack undetected. Tetchō Suehiro - The Strongest Swordsman

• Personality: A serious, silent, and extremely diligent fighter. He has a heightened sense of justice and genuinely dislikes the torment of innocent people. Despite his fighting prowess, Tette has some strange quirks in his everyday life: for example, he only eats food if it's the same color (he can pour soy sauce into his coffee or mix white rice with sugar). He constantly quarrels with Jono over this.
• Ability: "Plum Blossom in the Snow." Grants him the ability to alter the length, shape, and trajectory of his sword's blade during an attack. His sword can bend at incredible angles and stretch over vast distances, piercing through any obstacle. Teruko Ōkura - Second-in-Command

• Personality: She appears as a little girl with blonde hair, but has a fierce, aggressive, and sadistic personality. She is cruel to her enemies, enjoys torturing prisoners, and is fanatically loyal to Fukuchi, obeying his every order without hesitation. However, she can instantly switch to capricious, childish behavior.
• Ability: "Soul Sigh." Allows her to manipulate the biological age of anyone (including herself) she touches. She can turn a grown man into a frail old man or an infant by stripping him of his powers.

The Hunting Dogs (猟犬, "Hunting Dogs") are an elite and powerful special forces unit of the Japanese Military Police, created to track down and capture highly dangerous espers. The unit is considered invincible. Ōchi Fukuchi is the unit's leader.

• Personality: At first glance, he appears to be an eccentric, loud, and simple-minded old man who loves to drink and behaves frivolously. He has the charisma of a folk hero. However, behind this mask lies a brilliant, ruthless, and pragmatic strategist with a deep inner philosophy. Childhood friend of Yukichi Fukuzawa.
• Ability: "Lion Dance" (Kagami Jishi). Allows him to increase the combat power and durability of any weapon he holds in his hands by exactly 100 times (be it a legendary sword or an ordinary stone).

• Personality: Viewers have long known him as the hot-tempered, arrogant, and combative lieutenant of the Black Lizards in the Port Mafia. In reality, he is a career military officer and a deep-cover spy for the Bloodhounds. Tachihara is torn between his loyalty to the Bloodhounds and his genuine affection for his comrades in the Port Mafia.
• Ability: "Winter Memory." Possesses powerful ferrokinesis—the ability to manipulate metal with the power of thought. He can change the trajectory of bullets, remotely control his pistols, enemy swords, and any metal structures.

A direct war between the VDA and the Port Mafia was artificially provoked by Fyodor Dostoevsky, the leader of the "Rats of the Dead House" (who would later prove to be a key player in "Death of the Celestials"). 1. The Agency's Fraud: With the help of an all-powerful Page from the "Book," Death of the Celestials rewrites reality. In the eyes of the public and the government, the VDA emerges as a brutal terrorist group that committed the murder of the hostages. The country's best forces—the "Bloodhounds"—declare a hunt for the Agency.
2. Port Mafia Intervention: The Mafia initially remains neutral, but the PM organization makes a deal with Fukuzawa. The PM shelters the surviving Agency members in exchange for one of the WDA members (Yosano Akiko) defecting to the Mafia after the crisis ends. The PM subsequently actively assists the detectives.

Trio dynamics

In fandom and canon, their relationship is built on contrasts: Fyodor acts as a cold puppeteer, Gogol is an unpredictable, chaotic element, and Sigma finds herself hostage to their global intrigues, constantly subjected to mental pressure and manipulation on their part.

Sigma

The general manager of the floating "Sky Casino." Unlike Fyodor and Gogol, Sigma is not a natural-born villain or an ideological terrorist. He is an artificially created being, born with the help of a mystical "Book" just three years ago.
• Appearance: A young man (177 cm) with unique long hair: the right side is dyed platinum blonde, the left is a soft lilac color. He has light gray, tired eyes. He dresses in an elegant and formal casino manager's suit with a long light coat.
• Personality: A sensible, anxious, deeply principled, and fundamentally kind person. Due to his lack of a past and childhood memories, he is easily manipulated. His only cherished desire is to protect the Sky Casino, which he considers his only home. He has a phenomenal memory.
• Ability: "Information Exchange." Allows Sigma to exchange knowledge with a person through physical contact. He instantly receives the information he most desires to know from the opponent, but in exchange, he gives away what the opponent most desires to know.

Nikolai Gogol

An eccentric terrorist and Fyodor's partner, calling himself "The Celestial" and "The Clown." His primary obsession is achieving absolute free will, for which he is willing to even kill his only friend.
• Appearance: A tall young man (184 cm) with long white hair braided into a ponytail. He has heterochromia: his right eye is green and his left eye is purple (the left eye is often hidden by a card mask or a heart-shaped scar). He wears a bright, asymmetrical magician's costume: a top hat, striped trousers, and a long cape.
• Personality: Acts like a crazy, hyperactive buffoon. He constantly jokes, asks riddles, and puts on dramatic performances. However, behind the mask of joy lies a deep psychological crisis, sadism, and a complete lack of pity.
• Ability: "Overcoat." Allows Gogol to use his cloak as a portal. He can link space within a radius of about 30 meters, instantly moving objects, weapons, his own limbs, or other people.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

The leader of the "Rats of the Dead House" organization and the key brains behind "Death of the Celestials." A cold-blooded, frighteningly intelligent, and religious manipulator, he seeks to purge the world of espers (people with abilities), considering them sinners.
• Appearance: A tall, extremely thin, and pale young man with an anemic build. He has dark, tousled, medium-length hair and piercing violet eyes. He almost always wears his signature white fur hat, as well as a dark coat with a fur trim.
• Character: Absolutely calm, calculating, arrogant, and devoid of obvious emotions. He is always several steps ahead of his opponents, polite, but ruthless. He loves to play the cello.
• Ability: "Crime and Punishment." Its exact rules have long remained a mystery, but it is capable of instantly killing a person with just a touch of their skin, making Fedor incredibly dangerous in close combat.

Fukuzawa (Yukichi Fukuzawa)

Yukichi Fukuzawa, 45, founder and director of the Armed Detective Agency. Formerly a feared government assassin known as the "Silver Wolf."
• Appearance: A tall man with a stern face, long gray hair and cold blue eyes. Always dressed in a traditional green yukata and a long black haori.
• Personality: Calm, taciturn, strict, but infinitely fair. He has unwavering moral principles and views all Agency employees as his children, for whose protection he is ready to do anything. He loves cats, although they often shy away from him due to his stern aura. He is a master of martial arts and a katana.
• Ability: "All People Are Equal" (Hito no Ue ni Hito o Tsukurazu). This ability only works on his subordinates (Agency members). It allows them to perfectly control their own abilities, suppressing their rampage (it was thanks to Fukuzawa that Atsushi was able to control the tiger, and Kyoka was able to control the Snow Demon).

Ranpo Edogawa

Rampo Edogawa, 26, is the Agency's top detective. He is the organization's greatest asset, capable of solving any crime in seconds.
• Appearance: A young man of short stature with tousled black hair. His eyes are almost always squinted and open only when his deduction is activated. He wears a brown cape, a matching detective hat, and brown trousers with knee-high socks.
• Personality: Capricious, childish, and self-centered, he acts like a spoiled child. He doesn't know how to use the subway and often gets lost in the city. However, behind this facade lies a sincere devotion to the Agency and deep respect for Director Fukuzawa.
• Ability: "Super Deduction" (Chō Suiri). Rampo sincerely believes this is a magical gift that is activated when he puts on the glasses given to him by Fukuzawa. In reality, he has no supernatural abilities. His "gift" is pure, genius-level human intellect and phenomenal observation skills.

Akiko Yosano

Yosano is the Armed Detective Agency's staff doctor. She is a proud, strong-willed woman and a fierce feminist who values ​​human life above all else.
• Appearance: A stylish bob with bangs, adorned with a gold butterfly-shaped hairpin. She wears a strict white blouse, a black skirt, black tights, and shoes. Her calling card on the battlefield is a huge medical cleaver or saw.
• Personality: A strong, powerful, and self-assured woman who isn't afraid to speak her mind. She's feared and respected within the Agency for her unique treatment methods. At first glance, she appears sadistic, as she derives visible pleasure from the process of "breaking" patients. In reality, this conceals a profound humanism—she sincerely abhors senseless deaths and considers murder the worst of sins.
• Ability: "Thou Shalt Not Die." A unique and extremely rare healing gift that can instantly heal any physical injury. However, there is a strict condition: the ability only works when the patient is on the verge of death. If the wound is minor, Yosano must first literally dismember or mortally wound the person to save them.
• Past: At the age of 11, she was taken to war by Ogai Mori (then a military doctor). He used her gift to endlessly heal soldiers, turning them into "immortal cannon fodder." The soldiers nicknamed her the "Angel of Death." Due to the psychological pressure and the realization that her ability makes people suffer forever, one of the soldiers close to her committed suicide. This completely broke the girl's psyche. She was later saved by Edogawa Rampo and Yukichi Fukuzawa, who gave her a new home in the Agency. She still hates and fears Mori with a passion.

Kyoka Izumi

Kyouka Izumi is a 14-year-old girl, a former mercenary for the Port Mafia, who was rescued by Atsushi. Due to her tragic past, she long considered herself nothing more than a "killing tool."

• Ability: "Snow Demon" (Yasha Shirayuki). Summons a ghostly samurai spirit with a sword that instantly destroys enemies. Initially, Kyoka couldn't control the Demon directly—it only obeyed commands from her phone (her mother's voice, and later, Akutagawa's). After officially joining the Agency, thanks to Fukuzawa's power, she learned to completely control the Demon herself.

Atsushi Nakajima

Atsushi Nakajima is the story's protagonist, a 24-year-old (18 at the start of the story) boy who grew up in an abusive orphanage. Because of this, he suffered from low self-esteem for a long time, but he found meaning in life by helping others at the Agency.

• Ability: "Golden Demon". Allows the materialization of a phantom armed with a katana. Unlike Kyouka (before joining the Agency), Koyou completely controls his demon with his mind.
• Past: In her youth, Kouyou fell in love and attempted to escape the Mafia with her lover. They were caught, and the former Mafia Boss brutally executed her lover before her eyes. This forever shattered her faith in the "light" and gave birth to a burning hatred for the organization's former leader. She treats Ougai Mori with pragmatic respect, but maintains a distance.
