Disciples of Avan[]

Dai (ダイ)
Voiced by: Toshiko Fujita (1991), Atsumi Tanezaki (2020)[1]
Twelve years old, Dai grew up as the only human on Dermline island. He gains some fame after defeating a group of fake heroes who had kidnapped his friend Gome and protecting Princess Leona from some assassins. When the Dark Lord Hadlar is resurrected, the previous hero, Avan, comes to help train him to become the next hero. Dai possesses the ability to gain enhanced strength and a better control of magic when the emblem of the dragon appears on his body, which is a mark of the Dragon Knight's lineage, later discovering that his original name was Dino, son of the Dragon Knight Baran. Dai managed to learn the Earth and Wave Slashes with Avan, but had to acquire the Sky Slash on his own. Notably, Dai can infuse his weapon with elemental magic to create more powerful sword techniques. He can do the same thing with his Draconic Aura, but ordinary weapons cannot take the strain; Hyunckel's Demon Magic Sword breaks after Dai performs a crest-assisted Avan Strash. To suit this ability, Dai acquires an orichalcum sword from the legendary swordsmith Lon Berk, which can take the pressure.
Popp (ポップ, Popu)
Voiced by: Keiichi Nanba (1991), Toshiyuki Toyonaga (2020)[1]
The son of the weapons merchant Junk, fifteen-year-old Popp left his home in Lankarks village and decided to become an apprentice of Avan, training to become a magician. Coward and lazy at first, he slowly changes for the better after befriending Dai and the others. He is a specialist in fire spells, mainly those of the Sizz type, but as the story progresses he learns more powerful spells such as a gravity pressure attack. He can use Kamikazee and Crack type spells as well. Later on in the series, Popp becomes a Sage, one of the highest class of magicians who can use both attack and healing spells. Throughout the series, Pop uses various weapons, but later on in the series he acquires a staff from Lon Berk with the same power that rivals Vearn's staff, the ability to turn magic power into attack power, along with his signature spell, Frizz Cracker (メドローア, Medoroa), after training with Matoriv. In addition to this, Pop's staff can transform to any shape.
Maam (マァム, Maamu)
Voiced by: Miina Tominaga (1991), Mikako Komatsu (2020)[1]
Sixteen years old, Maam is the daughter of Leyra and Loca, the priestess and warrior who helped Avan in the original fight against Hadlar. Maam trained under Avan and is proficient with healing spells (such as Heal), but never could successfully learn any offensive ones. Avan gave her a magical gun that shoots magic spells, which helped her compensate for her lack of expertise with any of the other schools of magic. When the gun gets destroyed she decides to change to another class, fighter, and temporarily leaves the party to train under Brokeena, known as the God of Martial Arts. Under Brokeena, Maam learns one of her ultimate techniques: the refractor fist, an attack that uses healing magic to overload the opponent's body regeneration, collapsing it. Later on in the series, Maam acquires a transforming armor weapon from Lon Berk, which allows her to increase the destructive power of her techniques.

Her father is missing and presumed dead, leaving her in control of rebuilding her kingdom and helping in the fight against the Ultimate Demon King. She is friends with Dai, although it is hinted Dai feels something more for her. Leona is proficient in both Sizz-type spells and Crack-type spells; however she is best at healing spells such as Fullheal, which she uses effectively in the fight against Baran. Despite she was never a student by Avan's, later on in the series, she becomes an official member of Avan's disciples when she inherits the 5th mark of Avan from the Queen of Carl, Flora.

Voiced by: Hideyuki Hori (1991), Yūki Kaji (2020)[1]
Twenty-one years old, Hyunckel was raised by monsters after his parents were killed in a monster attack.

Hyunckel then becomes Avan's first pupil but, after graduating, unsuccessfully tried to kill his teacher with a technique he invented himself, Bloody Scraid. He was then taken in by Myst-Vearn who brought him up to become General of the Immortal Army, one of the six main armies under Hadlar and Vearn's control, known as "Leader of the Undead Knights Hyunckel". After discovering that Hadlar had killed his adopted father instead of Avan, he joins Dai's party.

Thereafter, Hyunckel has been using a spear with the same properties and created by the same person. Hyunckel can use all the basic Avan techniques also in addition to Demon Puppet Grab.

After Hadlar was killed by Avan, Vearn resurrected him into a stronger body that could be revived countless times by Vearn's magic, with each revival increasing his power. This body proved to be too weak in the face of Dai and his companions, so Hadlar uses Zaboera to transform him into a hyper demon, which allows him to acquire a massive increase in power and gives him regenerative properties.

Voiced by: Kenji Utsumi (1991), Takaya Hashi (2020)[3]
The Dark King Vearn is the supreme leader of the Dark Army and the main antagonist of the series who calls himself the god of the Darklings. Vearn hates that the gods gave humans the surface world to live while the Darklings have to live without the sun. Thus his goal is to blast away the surface using a hexagonal Black Core explosion field to both rid the world of weak humans while also giving the sun to the Darklings. Near the end of the manga, it was revealed that in order to achieve immortality, Vearn separated his body into two parts. The body he directly controls retains the intelligence and magic power, while the body that was given to Myst retained his physical strength. The second body became Myst-Vearn. Vearn used his great magic power to use the spell of Frozen Time on Myst-Vearn. As Myst is a unique case of being able to manipulate a body that is affected by that spell, Myst-Vearn's body effectively acquired immortality, while Vearn's body, while growing in intelligence and magic power, kept aging. After being defeated by Dai, Vearn decided to restore his original body and became more powerful than ever. He was defeated again with great difficulty by Dai and turned into stone. Vearn has the ability to cast almost every type of magic available, including one of his strongest types: Frizz-type magic (his Frizz is stronger than Popp's Kafrizzle). Because Vearn can also cast healing spells, he is considered a Sage class, one of the highest class of magicians. Vearn also had a staff given to him by Lon Berk, which can turn magic power into physical attack power, though it eats power at an immense rate. Vearn's most powerful attacks are a phoenix-shaped Kafrizzle, Kaiser Phoenix, a palm heel strike with touki that can repel or reflect attacks and spells called Phoenix Wing, a touki hand chop that is as sharp and deadly as Dai's sword, called Calamity End, Calamity Wall, a wall of rushing energy created by either his legendary staff or his barehand, and finally, the Tenchi-Madou, an ultimate counter move that unleashes Kaiser Phoenix, Phoenix Wing, and Calamity End simultaneously.

But Maam manages to break through the prison and injure Zamza by over-healing him by making him throw up Dai. Seeing this, Dai uses his sword to mortally wound Zamza.

Hadlar's Guardian Knights[]

The personal bodyguards of Hadlar Leader of the Demon Lords army. Hadlar created them from chess pieces made of orihalcon provided by Vearn to replace the defeated leaders of the six regiments. Since they were created like Flazzard their core must be destroyed in order to defeat them, which is located in the left chest just like a human's heart and can only be damaged by orihalcon weapons. As the Guardian Knights have a chess motif, each is themed after a different piece except for the king, who is represented by Hadlar himself.

Hym (ヒム, Imu)
Voiced by: Shin-ichiro Miki[6]
Since he was created from a pawn piece he fully understands that there will always be someone better than him. He, like the rest of the knights, fight fairly and praises worthy fighters. He mostly seems to live by the concept of "an eye for an eye" since he said he would not be satisfied until he punched a hole in Hyunckel's forehead as Hyunckel had pierced a hole in his. He had his own arm cut off after it became limp since he believed it would become a distraction during a fight, and has shown that he is a bit of a hot head getting lost in the heat of battle and not wanting to stop even if it was not his prime objective. He is an expert in mera (fire) spells but only uses them to increase the power of his fists. In the final part of the story, Hym discovers he actually is the reincarnation of his master, acquiring Hadlar's silver hair and the ability to generate Touki as an organic being.
Sigma (シグマ, Shiguma)
Voiced by: Chikahiro Kobayashi[6]
Created from the knight piece, he has the Mirror of Shahal on his chest. This object can repel enemy spells and Sigma can also use as a shield. With his horse legs he has the highest speed and jumping ability of the group, which also allows him to perform a double jump in any eight directions. He attacks using a lance. He is also very perceptive to the point of pointing out the flaw in any action someone may take against Hadlar. Sigma was killed by Pop.
Fenbren (フェンブレン, Fenburen)
Voiced by: Koji Yusa[6]
Created from a bishop piece, he calls himself the perfect hunter because his body is made of eight bladed sections. He has mastered all bagi (wind) type spells. He is unlike the rest of the knights since he himself stated that he is cruel in battle. He can use his sword arms as drills to tunnel underground to avoid attacks but he will not use it to attack from behind. He lost his eyes when Baran attacked him but afterwards he gained the ability to sense where his enemies and other objects of orihalcon are. He was cut in half by Dai while guarding the underwater door to the Demon Lord.
Block (ブロック, Burokku)
Voiced by: Tokuyoshi Kawashima[6]
Created from a rook piece, he is the physically strongest of the group, with strength surpassing Crocodine's, he can't fully speak so he relies on the others to speak for him (the only thing he can say is "buroom"). To protect his fellow knights he threw himself over them to take a powerful magic attack. His one technique comes from the castling move in chess which causes him to split in two revealing a more human body underneath that can quickly switch places with the king (Hadlar). The one time he used this move was to save Hadlar from Vearn before transporting Hadlar and his fellow knights to safety but not before saying his first and last words "Everyone take care of Lord Hadlar".
Albinass (アルビナス, Arubinassu)
Voiced by: Yukari Tamura[6]
Created from a queen piece, Albinass is the one who coordinates the group's attacks, acting as the group's voice of reason and reminding them that they fight for Hadlar. While she is considered the only female of the group she has stated that the group members have no gender and that each is powerful in they own way. She treats every battle as a game of chess, going as far as calling those fighting "pieces". She attacks using needles (called Needle Thousand) which are hard to dodge since they cover a very large area; the only flaw is that Albinass cannot or does not move when using it, making her a sitting duck for anyone lucky enough to escape her attack. She normally keeps her arms and legs sealed under her metallic cloak but when she does use them her speed and strength increase dramatically. Additionally with her arms unsealed she uses her magic in a compressed ball (called Thousand Ball) for more precise attacks in place of her normally wide range needle attack. Her loyalty to Hadlar is second to none, even to the point of being mistaken for loving devotion. Albinass was killed by Maam.
