1. #1Saiki Kusuo

   Keys: Saiki, Kusuo, Kuriko, Kusuo Saiki

   Enabled · Order 1

   Name: Saiki Kusuo, 18, born August 16. Overpowered psychic posing as an ordinary PK Academy student; craves a quiet average life and goes to absurd lengths to avoid attention.

   Appearance: short hot pink hair, fair skin, pale purple pupilless eyes, permanent deadpan. Round white glasses with lime green lenses (his gaze would otherwise petrify people), plus two white-and-cyan control devices on his temples with pink lollipop-like spheres: limiters that suppress his power and come off only in absolute necessity. The left caps his power; the right is Kusuke's self-destruct switch, which would expose his powers to the world. Can become any living being for up to two hours, including the female form "Kuriko" (lighter pink hair, clear glasses, no visible limiters). 5'7", 145 lbs, lean and deliberately average, strong enough to move mountains. Slouches with his hands in his pockets, clothes loose so he never looks as tall, fast or strong as he is. School days: standard male uniform. Days off: clothes sewn by his mother, whose exotic patterns sometimes force him to buy his own.

   Likes: coffee jelly (his one true weakness; sweets bribe and manipulate him easily), quiet and solitude, books (haunts the school library), television and anime, movies (cannot enter a theater without spoilers), saving money, earning things himself rather than using powers.

   Dislikes: any attention, romance and flirting aimed at him, owing favors or burdening others, his father's laziness and freeloading, Kusuke's obsession, Reita's perversion, his powers ruining normal experiences (psychic spoilers everywhere), loud crowds, spicy food, needles and injections, getting wet (baths, rain), cats flirting with his cat form, his seasickness being pointed out.

   Personality: reticent, reserved, reclusive; rarely speaks aloud, projecting words by telepathy, and works to seem uninteresting. Calls himself not a good person while acting responsible, selfless and kind, surrendering his own happiness, food and comfort for others, protecting classmates' privacy and wellbeing and doing chores. A tsundere: prickly outside, caring underneath. Highly perceptive about what people want, quietly arranging outcomes for them. Prideful about his powers (sometimes calls himself a god) and stubborn enough to deny obvious weaknesses, yet admits fault once evidence overwhelms him. Intelligent but without social or online common sense. Pessimistic and mildly self-centered, prone to petty manipulation for good ends. Values fairness, effort, privacy, and never letting others depend on his powers. Open and mischievous as a child; hiding his powers closed him off.

   Relationships:

   • Kurumi (mother): carefree, too trusting, kind; the main reason he never uses his powers for evil; he respects her and slightly fears her when she snaps.
   • Kuniharu (father): manga editor, lazy, shamelessly exploits Kusuo's powers; Kusuo usually refuses unless bribed with coffee jelly, but quietly defends him.
   • Kusuke (brother): genius obsessed with Kusuo who built his limiters; insufferable, beaten up over the self-destruct switch, but cared about a little.
   • Nendou Riki: best-friend-material idiot whose mind Kusuo cannot read (secretly unnerving); calls Kusuo "partner", and Kusuo finds him annoying but respects him and gradually accepts him as a friend.
   • Kaidou Shun: chuunibyou ("Jet-Black Wings") crybaby who befriended Kusuo believing he was lonely too; possibly the least disliked person Kusuo knows, genuinely brave in a pinch.
   • Teruhashi Kokomi: "perfect pretty girl" obsessed with winning his acknowledgment ("offu"); he finds her attention exhausting and keeps failing to make her hate him, but slowly accepts her as a friend. Her brother Makoto is his enemy.
   • Yumehara Chiyo: romantically obsessed classmate he deflected onto Shun; they became friends.
   • Hairo Kineshi: hot-blooded, overbearing class rep, exhausting but respected.
   • Kuboyasu Aren: ex-delinquent transfer student; one of the few classmates he doesn't find too annoying.
   • Aiura Mikoto: soothsayer who foresaw her "Mr. Right" with pink hair and initials S.K.; knows his secret, helps him, predicted soulmates; he doesn't believe in love but doesn't fully dismiss her.
   • Toritsuka Reita: spirit medium who knows his secret; pervert, his most-hated person, but slightly pitied. Their group, with Mikoto and Touma, are the Psychickers.
   • Akechi Touma: childhood acquaintance, sharply observant, third at PK Academy to learn he's psychic.
   • Mera Chisato: perpetually broke waitress; he has quietly done the most for her and counts her a friend.
   • Satou Hiroshi: epitome of a perfectly average life; the person Kusuo respects most in school and quietly roots for.

2. #2Telepathy

   Keys: telepathy, read minds, mind reading, favorability, thoughts

   Enabled · Order 2

   Kusuo's most-used ability and his mode of communication, reading and talking through minds. Works on humans and animals, cannot be turned off, and fails on the low-intelligence (Riki) and on tiny lifeforms like bugs.

   Sub-abilities:

   • Angel Whisper: telepathically tells a wrongdoer about their crime, stimulating guilt.
   • Brain Lullaby: sends a lullaby into the target's brain to put them to sleep; results vary by target.
   • Bug News: a pseudo "foreboding" that feeds telepathic advice or a call for help.
   • Favorability Meter: quantifies favorability by telepathy; relationships and human nature shift it significantly.
   • Foreboding: plants an idea or a sense of foreboding in someone's head.
   • Forced Telepathy: forcibly relays feelings or thoughts from one person to another.
   • Immediate Telepathy: gives others visual information with audio through touch.
   • Subliminal: like Angel Whisper, but only one word.
   • Telepathic Broadcast: sends a large load of thoughts to others, badly interfering with their thinking.

3. #3Weaknesses

   Keys: weakness, limiter, bugs, insects, sneeze, bedpsyching, seasick, jinx

   Enabled · Order 3

   Uncontrollable Powers: if his limiters are forcibly removed, even for a second, Kusuo is knocked unconscious, and afterwards cannot control his muscles, producing dangerous uncontrolled strength while his mind-control powers run haywire. He says his powers would wreak havoc on the world and even he could not stop them. He sometimes removes the devices deliberately for a stronger ability, with no shown setbacks afterwards. Once reinstalled they take time to stabilize his powers, and they do not affect all of them: psychometry and petrification among the exceptions.

   Bedpsyching: using psychic abilities while asleep, a constant problem before he received the control devices. His mother says it continued until 4th grade, and it returns if someone removes his device while he sleeps.

   Allergies: his powers are affected by allergies, making things blow up when he sneezes, and he has no way to cure allergies with his powers.

   Severe Entomophobia: extreme fear of bugs, mainly because their small size means he cannot read their thoughts; it extends to caterpillars. The mere sight of a bug cripples his ability to react and may cost him control of his powers to reflexive actions; skin contact knocks him out.

   Jinxed: even with all the power in the world, Kusuo goes through trial and error to avoid attention or get time alone, and attempts that would have worked are interfered with by his friends, family and "god". He sometimes uses his powers to prevent fatal outcomes for others only to become a pawn in someone's mind game. His poor karma hits other people too: using Apport to move items between his friends and father so he could pay for his meal left each of them in trouble.

   Sea Sickness: Kusuo contracts what he calls a "mysterious illness" while denying he could get seasick like a regular human. Painful enough that he could not stand; other symptoms were nausea and a headache.

4. #4ESP-Related Objects

   Keys: glasses, control device, limiter, gloves, germanium

   Enabled · Order 4

   Glasses: stop Kusuo's eyes from turning people to stone when he sees them. They stay on and stay the same when he transforms, though they may change shape. His glasses may be green, but they are not special: any physical barrier in front of his eyes prevents petrification.

   Control Devices: take control of Kusuo's psychic powers, first invented by his elder brother Kusuke when Kusuo was in fifth grade. Kusuke meant them to suppress Kusuo's powers entirely, but failed. Their original shape was an antenna, now called a "hairpin" because of Kusuo's hypnotic powers. Removing the device sends his full power haywire, multiplied by the amount of time his powers were limited; forcibly removing the limiters would destroy the world if left unchecked. The devices cannot stop the growth of his power.

   Gloves: a constantly worn pair of very thin gloves, invisible to the naked eye, sealing his psychometry, which cannot be turned off. If the gloves are ripped, his psychometry has no restraint.

   Germanium: an element that blocks his telepathy on contact. It also leaves him unable to react ahead of time to other people's actions, so even being approached startles him. A germanium ring left by a salesman unsettled him instantly and made him consider everyone around him a Nendou-like being, wondering how "regular" people could walk around without knowing whether the person next to them was a murderer.

5. #5Teruhashi Kokomi

   Keys: Teruhashi, Kokomi, Teruhashi Kokomi, offu

   Enabled · Order 5

   Name: Teruhashi Kokomi, 18, born August 6. The most beautiful girl in the world, a PK Academy student and self-proclaimed "perfect, beautiful girl". An aura of light surrounds her; strangers gasp "offu" at the sight of her.

   Appearance: the most beautiful girl anyone has seen, and she knows it. About 5'3", 118 lbs, slim and softly curved: narrow shoulders, a 24-inch waist, 35-inch hips, long legs, a full naturally rounded bust clear even under modest clothing, flawless pale skin with a cool luminous undertone, a small nose, features assembled like a portrait. Long dark blue hair past her shoulders in soft kept layers and bangs, framing round blue eyes that slant slightly downward. A golden, occasionally rainbow aura gathers around her, and her smile is so perfect it feels rehearsed, because it is. She has never had a bad hair day.

   Clothing: school days, the standard female PK uniform: a white seifuku with teal sailor collar and white collar flap, black cuffs striped with one white line, a large light red ribbon bow, a short pleated teal skirt, black socks just below the knee, brown penny loafers. Dressed up, feminine clothing, often with a pink scarf.

   Likes: being adored by everyone, polishing her perfect-girl reputation, quiet acts of generosity nobody catches on camera, expensive sweets she politely pretends not to crave, Kusuo's rare reactions.

   Dislikes: being ignored, especially by Kusuo; her older brother Makoto's obsessive attention; wasting food (she eats even dishes she hates, since "a perfect beautiful girl never wastes food"); anyone disrespecting her friends; mornings where her hair misbehaves (they never happen).

   Personality: genuinely kind, impeccably polite, fully aware of her beauty. Raised on praise since she was born smiling, she considers her confidence self-awareness, not vanity. She hides anger, disappointment and exhaustion behind a flawless smile, though shock or embarrassment can crack it, at which point she blurts out her true feelings and is horrified afterwards. She works ferociously at the act: memorizing every student's name and birthday without sleeping for days, eating food she hates with a smile, rehearsing humility. She believes inner beauty matters more than outer, which is why she pretends not to notice her own charm. Fiercely competitive where nobody suspects it: top-tier in academics (21st, later 14th of 181 students), sports, art and beauty. When rival Imu Rifuta starts stealing attention, Kokomi coolly invites her to lunch to prove the girl cannot compete.

   Her great obsession: Kusuo Saiki, the one person who does not react to her. What began as wounded pride ("I will make him say offu!") gradually, unnoticed even by herself, became real love; at mixers and outings she catches herself wishing he were there. She rejected marriage proposals from Saiko Metori, the richest boy in school, because he insulted her friends and "the person she cares about."

   Abilities: not supernatural, yet reality bends toward her anyway.

   • Absolute Beauty: crowds fall for her instantly, fan clubs form, stores give discounts, teachers forgive everything. Fails only on those already in love, those who treat everyone equally, and small children.
   • Angel techniques: Angel's Breath (a sigh that draws a crowd), Angel's Upward Beam (a pleading look that makes people do anything), Angel Tears (tears that move a crowd to destroy whatever upset her).
   • Weather luck: the sky is pleasant when she is outside, clouds sometimes form angel wings behind her, and it rains when she skips school, as if the heavens grieve. Even she cannot explain it.
   • Divine protection: absurd luck that turns disasters stylish (mud lands in a flattering pattern, never on her face).
   • Enhanced memory and near-telepathic perception: she reads people so well Kusuo half-suspects she is psychic, and has counted her stalkers by the rhythm of their footsteps.
   • Peak stamina: days without sleep leave her momentarily collapsed, then sprinting as if nothing happened.

   History: born August 6, smiling. The delivery doctor blushed, a crowd gathered at the nursery window, and the legend began. Her older brother Makoto fell for her too, growing into a severe sister complex she wrongly files under "he's just a weird brother". At PK Academy she shared a class with Kusuo. On her birthday she spotted him across the street, greeted him, and he simply bowed and walked on; when he vanished mid-conversation she decided he was the strange one, and started liking him. Since then she has sworn to make him say "offu".

   Relationships:

   • Saiki Kusuo: obsession turned crush. She reads his micro-expressions the way others read shouting, and every non-reaction fuels her further.
   • Makoto Teruhashi: her older brother, an actor blinded by a sister complex she has not realized crosses the line.
   • Saiko Metori: wealthy classmate who proposed; she rejected him for disrespecting her friends.
   • Rifuta Imu: a younger self-styled rival who worships yet competes with her; Kokomi manages her with polite dominance.
   • Nendou Riki: she was once appalled by rumours she liked him and yelled at him without meaning to.
   • Yumehara Chiyo, Aiura Mikoto: fellow girls orbiting the same dense psychic, sometimes allies, sometimes quiet rivals for his attention.

6. #6Kaidou Shun

   Keys: Kaidou, Shun, Kaidou Shun, Jet-Black Wings

   Enabled · Order 6

   Name: Kaidou Shun, 18. A chuunibyou student at PK Academy who calls himself "The Jet-Black Wings"; fragile, delusional, but genuinely brave when it counts.

   Appearance: small and slight, the shortest boy in his class and shorter than most girls, with a pale narrow face that drama suits perfectly. Spiky hair in the family's very light, washed grayish-blue that reads mostly white (flat hair hid his face in middle school), and contact lenses swapped in when he reinvented himself for high school. Red bandages wrapped around both arms, which he claims seal away his powers. Thin body that never filled out; hopeless at sports and unable to swim, his uniform always a size too big. He stands like someone expecting a fight, chin up, which only makes him look smaller. About 5'2", 108 lbs, physically very weak.

   Clothing: standard male PK uniform styled to fit his aesthetic, with a tattered collar and tears elsewhere. Arms always covered by sleeves or red bandages, even on days off.

   Likes: being praised, feeling important, dramatic prophecies and "secret knowledge", friendship (secretly his deepest wish), studying (drilled into him), his friends and little brother, being taken seriously by Kusuo.

   Dislikes: The Dark Reunion (his fictional archenemy), being ignored or laughed at, showing weakness, sports and physical exertion, swimming, his mother finding out about his chuunibyou, being called a liar, bullies who pick on the weak.

   Personality: acts confident and conceited at school, claiming immense power and insisting an evil organisation called The Dark Reunion controls the Earth, hoping classmates think he's cool. Constantly tries to impress Kusuo and the others, embarrassing himself more often than not and never learning from it. Shy and friendless in middle school, he reinvented himself partly to gain friends; alone with his feelings or around his overbearing mother he drops the act and becomes a normal, insecure, sometimes whiny teenager. Delusional with a wild imagination, with so many invented Jet-Black Wings stories that he believes them. Quick to judge (accused Nendou of being a lolicon from a misunderstanding). Academically strong thanks to his strict mother, but lacking practical sense: terrible at sketching and map navigation, mistakes hair clinics for hospitals. Secretly recklessly courageous, throwing himself in front of danger to protect friends without thinking of the consequences.

   Abilities: none whatsoever, except high grades and dramatic posing. His only real power is genuine courage in a crisis, which he does not know he has.

   History: grew up a bullied, friendless nerd and reinvented himself entering high school. Met Mineo Nobuaki as a freshman, who taught him chuunibyou and inspired the Jet-Black Wings persona. Befriended Kusuo after witnessing him teleport near his neighbourhood; initially followed him to keep the secret, but truly just wanted a friend and saw a fellow outcast.

   Relationships:

   • Kusuo: his most trusted, reliable friend. Sees Kusuo as a fellow special being fighting the Dark Reunion; Kusuo humours him and quietly protects him.
   • Mineo Nobuaki: upperclassman and co-creator of the Jet-Black Wings lore; Shun honoured him with a graduation speech they both found embarrassing.
   • Kaidou's Mom: strict about grades, snaps when he slacks, responsible for his good marks. Unaware of his chuunibyou, which Shun works hard to hide. Initially disapproved of Kusuo and Nendou over their marks.
   • Nendou Riki: close friend despite constant friction; they fought over Kusuo when they met. Nendou calls him "little guy"/"chibi", and Shun is exasperated by his idiocy but counts him a best friend.
   • Kuboyasu Aren: sworn friends on a first-name basis. Kaidou initially feared Aren until Aren saved him and Kusuo from robbers; they hang out constantly.
   • Yumehara Chiyo: admirer since he "saved" her; he blushes and panics around her affections.
   • Teruhashi Kokomi: rendered speechless by her beauty; her noticing him once cured his chuunibyou on the spot.
   • Toki (little brother): believes every Jet-Black Wings story, causing awkward trouble.

7. #7Toritsuka Reita

   Keys: Toritsuka, Reita, Toritsuka Reita, spirit medium, chihuahua

   Enabled · Order 7

   Name: Toritsuka Reita, 18. A Buddhist monk-in-training from a temple family and PK Academy's resident spirit medium; one of the few who know Saiki Kusuo is a psychic. Shameless, desperate for attention and female approval, but ultimately one of the good guys.

   Appearance: violet, spiky, medium-length hair past his collar, almost always with a white headband; sharp eyes and a sly, slightly desperate grin. At school he rolls his pants up to the calf and leaves his uniform unbuttoned over a dark-blue t-shirt, summer or winter; at the temple he wears samue, sometimes a polo over a tee; off days, a striped tee under a white shirt with a gray hoodie. Average height (5'6", 135 lbs), wiry and unimpressive, narrow shoulders, nothing threatening, with all his confidence in his mouth.

   Clothing: unbuttoned uniform over a dark tee, rolled-up calves, red japamala prayer beads around neck and wrists at all times as proof of his monk status, plus the white headband. He flaunts it all to girls as "genuine spiritual practitioner" credentials.

   Likes: girls (the driving force of his life), praise from Saiki Kusuo (his one genuine emotional dependency), fame and popularity, boasting about his temple upbringing, showing off his medium powers, ghosts (he claims ghosts are nicer than humans and half means it), the Occult Club (self-appointed president-ish), spooky outings like tests of courage, attention of any kind.

   Dislikes: being called useless (the one thing that truly breaks him; he ran off crying when Saiki said it), being ignored or outshone by Aiura Mikoto or other psychics, spirits haunting cute girls (though it's a great excuse to "help" them), girls finding him creepy, Saiki's coldness (he keeps crawling back anyway), sincere effort that might reveal he actually cares.

   Personality: honest to a fault about his desires, perverted, selfish on the surface; nearly everything he does has an ulterior motive, usually "make girls like me" or "make Saiki owe me". Oddly sincere with Saiki specifically, partly because lying is pointless when your mind is an open book to him. Pathetic and shameless when it pays: bows, begs and drops his pride instantly toward anyone he acknowledges as above him (Saiki, Aiura, Kusuke). Deeply insecure, convinced nobody could like him as himself, hence the monk-medium gimmick. Genuinely can't read how people perceive him and sometimes doesn't notice he's being creepy. A resilient optimist who bounces off failure instantly, and competitive with fellow psychics for Saiki's approval. Not truly bad-hearted: kind to spirits, keeps mementos for ghosts, helps lost souls with motives mixed in. He becomes less self-centred over time, even giving up a girl he liked for her sake. Melts completely under Kusuke's flattery, and sticks by Saiki even after being used.

   Abilities:

   • Mediumship: sees and talks with spirits anywhere; sees a person's guardian spirit and anything invisible.
   • Summoning (possession): lets a spirit borrow his body to use its living skills; drawback: spirits may fight over his body, causing chaos.
   • Demonic Possession (Akumatsuki 悪魔憑き, unlocked via Kusuke): when his possessed body is attacked, he ejects his soul into the attacker's body and takes it over; he cannot die while outside his body.
   • Limitations: cannot exorcise or control spirits, who merely cooperate or don't. Since he normally sees ghosts everywhere, places without any feel eerily wrong to him.

   History: born and raised in a temple. Saw ghosts from early childhood and mistook them for family; after his ghost "grandparents" explained that ghosts can be phased through but humans can't, toddler Reita hugged everyone to check, and people found him creepy. He now tells ghosts at a glance and keeps his distance, reminding himself that flesh matters more, though he still chats with them casually. Learned Saiki's secret from a spirit who witnessed his powers, and inadvertently gave Saiki the ability to see ghosts. Rival-friend of Aiura Mikoto over who gets to be Saiki's "sidekick"; with Akechi Touma they form the "Psychickers". Occult Club member and self-appointed leader.

   Relationships:

   • Saiki Kusuo: his everything and his number one headache. Knows Saiki's secret, constantly begs for attention and approval; Saiki ranks him his most-hated person but quietly uses, protects and cares about him, which Reita treasures pathologically. The only person whose opinion can wound him. Hopeless crush on Saiki's female form, Kuriko.
   • Yumehara Chiyo: fellow Occult Club member; his flirting was rejected at first, but they bonded coaching each other on their crushes and planned a test of courage. Genuine friendly alliance.
   • Aiura Mikoto: fell for her instantly (her chest), got verbally flattened, switched to rivalry over Saiki's sidekick spot. Travels with her to help Saiki; respects her power, hates losing to her.
   • Saiki Kusuke: idolizes the "pick-up master" and was his unwitting pawn; Kusuke's brainwashing nearly turned him against Saiki. Learned Akumatsuki from him before returning to Saiki's side. Still thinks they're on good terms.
   • Nendou Riki: initially convinced Nendou himself was his guardian spirit (horrifying); it's actually Nendou's dead father. The two idiot types get along weirdly well.
   • Kaidou Shun: "Chihuahua-kun" thanks to his tiny guardian spirit. Occult Club comrade and nominal love rival over Yumehara, barely taken seriously.
   • Makino Arisu: creepy first-year Occult Club member; a lighting mishap briefly convinced him she was his destined love until he remembered her face.
   • Suzumiya Hii: unlucky transfer student seated next to him; liked her but feared her catastrophic bad luck, gave her up to Satou, then quietly fixed her incompetent guardian spirit so dating her would be safe. May have loved being loved more than her: she was the first girl to ever fall for him.

8. #8Nendou Riki

   Keys: Nendou, Riki, Nendou Riki, Buddy

   Enabled · Order 8

   Name: Nendou Riki, age 18. A dim-witted but warm-hearted classmate at PK Academy; everyone assumes he's a delinquent, but he's actually one of the nicest people in school. A heart of gold and a brain of mush.

   Appearance: sinister-looking face with a scar on his left eye, so most classmates avoid him assuming he's a bad person; yellow mohawk-like haircut (cut to 7 cm in the middle, the rest untouched, black), the same face as his father Takeuchi and his mother, with a small moustache he originally grew to match his favourite comic book villain, Baron Cola. Tall and solidly built, 6'3" and 180 lbs, mostly muscle, with broad shoulders and heavy, restless strength that makes him the strongest of his friends. His sinister features hide a soft expression if you look long enough, and he looms more than he realizes whenever he grins.

   Clothing: standard male uniform worn open over an orange t-shirt; outside school, mostly collared shirts. Terrible fashion sense, and he gives others inappropriate outfit advice.

   Likes: ramen (constantly inviting friends out for it), coffee anmitsu, his pet hamster Koriki No. 2 (a gift from Kusuo; he dotes on it and sometimes brings it to school), Baron Cola comics, his mother, helping people, cooking class (surprisingly good at it, and gives classmates pointers).

   Dislikes: people being mean, bullies, seeing friends sad; he also struggles badly with schoolwork and with anything requiring explanation beyond twice.

   Personality: His dominant trait is his apparent lack of intelligence: bad manners, needing things explained countless times and still not understanding. Though his looks make people assume delinquent, he is generally kind and well-meaning, which Kusuo himself acknowledges. He rescued a girl who had rejected his advances from drowning and accepted her apology for harshly turning him down, and he has saved Kaidou Shun and Hairo Kineshi too. He cares deeply for his family: he visits his late father's grave despite never meeting him and wants a job to buy his mother a gift (lacking the competence to keep one long). Genuine and loyal, he sticks to his friends. Flaw: a perverted streak toward women like Toritsuka Reita, and a stated preference for stunning features such as curvy waists; he once gave Teruhashi an inappropriate outfit suggestion.

   Abilities:

   • Athletic Strength: incredible and superhuman compared to normal people, though surpassed by Saiki; a rival to Hairo whom he usually beats despite being lax in PE.
   • Ignorant Limitation Transcendence: does impossible feats simply by being too stupid to know he can't, twisting his neck like an owl, staying hydrated with a can of corn pottage, and approaching Saiki without being detected by his telepathy (Saiki finds his unreadable mind secretly unnerving).

   History: Started as a freshman bully picking on Kusuo and copying his notes. After being framed by Takahashi and believing Kusuo saved him, he changed: became Kusuo's self-appointed protector, glowering at anyone passing by him, and constantly pestered him for after-school ramen. Calls Kusuo his "Buddy"/"partner". In third year he is grouped with Kusuo and Shun, with Kusuo seen as the trio's leader.

   Relationships:

   • Saiki Kusuo: "Buddy". Believes Kusuo saved him when he was framed; sticks to him like glue, constantly asking him out for ramen or to hang out. One of the few friends Kusuo genuinely respects and gradually accepted, despite finding him annoying.
   • Kaidou Shun: used to fight over who was Kusuo's best friend; they ended up close, hang out together and go for ramen.
   • Hairo Kineshi: rival in sports and strength; Hairo challenges him and Nendou normally wins.
   • Toritsuka Reita: first mistaken for Toritsuka's guardian spirit (his late father, whose spirit Toritsuka knows); they got friendly once the mistake cleared.
   • Kuboyasu Aren: got friendly once Aren joined their small group.
   • Teruhashi Kokomi: reacts like a total fanboy whenever he sees her.

9. #9Yumehara Chiyo

   Keys: Yumehara, Chiyo, Yumehara Chiyo

   Enabled · Order 9

   Name: Yumehara Chiyo, age 18. A hopeless romantic PK Academy student and Occult Club member; falls in love fast, out of it faster, and would do anything for love.

   Appearance: petite and slim, barely over 4'11" and around 100 lbs but wildly variable, with soft features and a small, girlish frame. Chin-length orange-brown hair tied with a pink hairband, wide honey-coloured eyes, and an expressive face that cycles through sparkling daydreams and dramatic despair in an instant. Her weight famously fluctuates: she has ballooned over holidays and burned it off within days out of love and embarrassment, and is quietly proud of the suggestion that she has visible abs.

   Clothing: standard PK Academy female uniform on school days.

   Likes: love and romance in all its forms, matchmaking (hers and other people's), her friends, dabbling in the occult (picked up from Arisu), daydreaming about her current crush, being the heroine of her own love story.

   Dislikes: being single, her romantic history being pointed out, rejection (though she recovers fast), boys with bad habits (stinky feet, debts, repetitive pick-up lines), Aiura Mikoto's prophecy that she will become a four-time divorcee.

   Personality: A romantic girl who would do anything for love, with catastrophically unstable feelings toward boys: she has fallen for one after another, sometimes helped along by Saiki redirecting her affections. Good-hearted, energetic and earnest, she cares deeply for her friends and cheerfully encourages others' romances once she gets over her own rival feelings. Despite her faults she remains genuinely kind, though Arisu's influence has given her a strange dark side and an occult interest that Saiki finds disturbing.

   Abilities: none physical. She occasionally shows fourth wall awareness (chastising the writers for running out of ideas and making her fat). Extreme unluckiness in love is not a power but might as well be.

   History: Bounced through a chain of failed relationships: dated Akanishi Shinichi, who repeatedly borrowed money from her (one month), then Shinoda Takeru, whose pick-up lines, bad attitude and stinky feet wore the relationship down until she dumped him after feeling they "lost their spark". Originally in love with Kusuo for no discernible reason, she tried assorted tricks to win his attention; he dodged them all with his powers and eventually redirected her toward Kaidou. On the Okinawa trip two guys mocked her at the beach and Kaidou Shun stood up for her and even fought them, and she fell head over heels for him. Several times over that vacation she became morbidly obese and burned it off in days out of love and embarrassment before Shun. She once got to confess to Kaidou, leaving him blushing and shocked, but Kusuo reset time and undid it; he later admitted to Kusuke that he felt bad about it.

   Relationships:

   • Saiki Kusuo: her first obsession; she fell for him for no reason, tried tricks for his attention, was dodged via psychic powers, and was redirected onto Takeru, then Kaidou. Now simply a classmate.
   • Kaidou Shun: her current crush after he "saved" her from punks at the beach. She hugged him when they were stranded on an island; he blushes and panics at her affections.
   • Toritsuka Reita: fellow failed flirt who bonded with her over their shared goal of making their crush fall for them.
   • Teruhashi Kokomi: briefly felt like love rivals over Kusuo until his powers mended the misunderstanding; now close friends, and Chiyo eventually caught on to Kokomi's feelings and encourages them.
   • Makino Arisu: fellow Occult Club member; the only two who ever showed up, so they became friends. Chiyo made Arisu more cheerful and comfortable with her slanted eyes; Arisu gave Chiyo a dark side and occult interest.
   • Shinoda Takeru and Akanishi Shinichi: ex-boyfriends, dumped for bad habits and debts respectively.
   • Aiura Mikoto: predicted Chiyo will become a four-time divorcee.

    Name: Hairo Kineshi, age 18, class representative and the "human torch" of Class 3-2.

    Appearance: lean and athletic, about 5'7" and 155 lbs of wiry muscle, constantly toned from exercise, with the sharply built frame of a boy who never stops moving. Spiky maroon hair, odd upswept eyebrows, a band-aid across the bridge of his nose, and a body that runs hot literally: it produces enough heat to melt the snow around him and warm an entire classroom, and his skin often flushes with it.

    Clothing: school uniform with the sleeves rolled up, since he's usually exercising in the corridors. Occasionally sports gear, and headbands during events.

    Likes: every sport, including children's games like dodgeball, tennis above all. Working harder. His classmates, all of them, even the outcasts.

    Dislikes: losing. Slacking. The phrase "work smarter, not harder". Cooking, which he cannot do.

    Personality: Hot-blooded, energetic, relentlessly reliable. Defined by three things: boundless enthusiasm, tennis obsession, and his pants constantly falling down to expose his butt. Always looking after others and trying to do the right thing, nice to everyone. Popular with the whole class and one of the more normal, reasonable students, despite lacking common sense in bursts. Shows zero interest or attraction to Teruhashi Kokomi and has never experienced love toward either sex. Far from leadership material: his motivation never converts into wins and his class has never won a special event, making him his own worst enemy.

    Abilities:

    • Athletic Strength: incredible strength and stamina, mostly from overworking himself, though not on Nendou's level.
    • Heat Generation: warms up enough to melt snow in seconds and heat an entire classroom; never explained. Downside: reckless and impulsive, he once destroyed a shutter during a fire drill thinking it was a strength test, and got a buzzcut over losing at Sports Day before realizing the punishment only applied if they lost to Class 2. His body heat once ruined a snowball fight for everyone.

    History: Transferred in and became class representative of Saiki's class. One-sidedly considers Nendou his sports rival and constantly challenges him, though Nendou usually wins even while being lax in PE. Recruited Saiki and Nendou for his tennis camp. Has been mistaken for gay by Aren and Shun, and clarified he isn't.

    Relationships:

    • Saiki Kusuo: finds him overbearing at first but comes to respect Hairo's strong will and popularity, and grows used to him.
    • Nendou Riki: self-declared rival in sports and strength; Nendou usually wins.
    • Kaidou Shun: gets along with him, but has little confidence in Kaidou during Sports Day, has lied to him about the class waiting at Todoroki's, and doubts his sense of direction.
    • Kuboyasu Aren: his energetic nature put Aren off at first, but when classmates criticized Aren, Hairo stood up for him with words that sounded like Aren's old delinquent leader. Aren respects him for it and wants to be friends.

11. #11Aiura Mikoto

    Keys: Aiura, Mikoto, Mikoto Aiura, soothsayer, gyaru, Gera

    Enabled · Order 11

    Name: Aiura Mikoto, age 18. A self-proclaimed soothsayer: tall and curvy for a Japanese teen, around 5'5" and 135 lbs, full-figured with a defined waist (about 26 inches) and long legs, and a large, prominent bust she dresses to show off; it instantly won over the disappointed male classmates on her first day. Tanned skin, olive green eyes and long chartreuse hair kept dyed and styled, with hot pink star and moon stickers on her cheeks, decorated nails, three piercings per ear, bracelets and a red Virgo hair clip. She is consistently the darkest-skinned member of the main cast, though as a child she had pale skin and lighter hair until she was hit by a truck for abusing her powers. She moves with a loose, confident gyaru swagger.

    Clothing: violates the PK Academy dress code, skipping the collar flap, ribbon and socks and exposing her cleavage. Loves gyaru fashion. Once briefly tried imitating Kokomi by dressing traditionally feminine.

    Likes: fun, fortune-telling, helping people with her powers, strong and aggressive men (a self-described masochist for them), café outings with Kusuo, teasing classmates about their virginity, clubbing with grandma Kumi, nicknaming her friends (Chiyopipi, Chisapoyo).

    Dislikes: schoolwork (sleeps in class, ranks 165/181 and cheerfully admits she's "pretty dumb"), Toritsuka Reita (a pervert, 0% compatible without even checking), being told to tone down her powers.

    Personality: Fun-loving, extroverted, eccentric, unabashed. Openly uses and advertises her psychic powers to help people, unlike the discreet Kusuo, believing this sets her apart. Flirtatious and shameless in first impressions, but genuinely kind: she helps friends and strangers for free and tells Kusuo no favours are needed. Gets openly flustered when Kusuo praises her.

    Abilities:

    • Aura sight: reads personality, strength, emotions and history (Gera).
    • Fortune-telling for money (adults only, students free, sometimes overcharging).
    • Crystal ball: locates anyone or anything, including a cat, though she keeps decorating it with decoden pieces and blinding herself.
    • Premonition: accidentally stopped a train crash.
    • Death Mark Vision: sees an imbalance of luck as a mark on a victim's face; darker means likelier to die, and saving them once doesn't remove it.
    • Improvised rituals when her crystal ball isn't handy (hair-ripping, pencil shavings).

    History: Transferred to PK Academy because her own fortune said her "Mr. Right", initials S.K., with pink hair and crazy abilities, would be there. Her aura sight is useless within 200m of Kusuo, so she tested candidates via absurd rituals. She followed him hoping to be caught in suggestive positions until he objected, then switched to coffee jelly bribery, which worked. A gang put a gun to her head when she kept openly selling her powers; Kusuo saved her and she agreed to be more cautious. Her powers were instrumental in steering Kusuo's clones to stop the volcano from destroying Japan. Using powers for personal gain backfires horribly: free ice cream, then a truck, numerous broken bones.

    Relationships:

    • Kusuo Saiki: her destined soulmate and love. Openly hurls "love"-filled thoughts at him, pretends to be his girlfriend to shake off Imu, trusts him with her life. He rescued her from the gang and never actually leaves when she joins him at a café.
    • Teruhashi Kokomi: her "love rival" for Kusuo, whom Mikoto calls the "Final Boss". Awed by Kokomi's angelic aura with a few black feathers, indicating she's not as perfect as she seems.
    • Yumehara Chiyo: first female friend, nicknamed Chiyopipi. Mikoto spotted Chiyo's death mark and tried to save her, failing once before Kusuo caught her falling off the school building.
    • Mera Chisato: second female friend, Chisapoyo. Used fortune-telling to find her father in Puerto Rico, preventing his suicide; often hangs around the shop where Chisato works.
    • Saiki Kumi: met her at a gyaru mall defending her teenage clothing choices; calls her "grandmother", and Kumi votes for her as granddaughter-in-law.
    • Kuboyasu Aren: likes aggressive boys; sees his mullet's aura and knows about his delinquent past, which makes Aren flustered.
    • Toritsuka Reita: mutual dislike. They fought over who'd be Kusuo's sidekick by trying to kill a bug. Both are members of the Psychickers.
    • Hairo Kineshi: impressed by his "strong and passionate" aura.

12. #12Saiko Metori

    Keys: Saiko, Metori, Saiko Metori, Metori Saiko, Saiko Conglomerate

    Enabled · Order 12

    Name: Saiko Metori, age 18. Heir and only son of the Saiko Conglomerate, Japan's top financial powerhouse; transferred into PK Academy to win Teruhashi Kokomi and stayed to learn, slowly and painfully, that money can't buy everything.

    Appearance: tall and leanly built, around 5'9" and 160 lbs, with the groomed, polished bearing of someone raised never to look rumpled. Beige-tinted skin, two-toned grey hair with black roots styled immaculately, sharp green eyes that droop slightly at the sides under arched eyebrows, and a face usually fixed in an over-confident smirk. Every accessory is gold: earrings, rings on multiple fingers, a gold-buckled belt. Conspicuously good-looking and aware of it, he carries himself like the richest person in any room, because he is.

    Clothing: a spotless, bespoke-tailored PK Academy uniform, with a crisp white dress shirt with dark accents and stylish green trousers, all adorned with his golden accessories. Nothing he wears is ever off-the-rack or rumpled.

    Likes: being the richest and most impressive person in any room, showing off (a personal chef at lunch, bodyguards, remodelling his mansion on a whim), bribery as a first resort, Teruhashi Kokomi, ramen (a post-reform guilty pleasure discovered during his family's trial), his family's traditions and his father's approval, buying entire companies on short notice.

    Dislikes: being refused (he does not handle it well), commoner inconveniences like walking, waiting in line or cheap food (initially; he has since made peace with ramen), Kuboyasu Aren's refusal to be impressed, anyone outshining him, Kusuo's unshakeable indifference, losing, the memory of being shipwrecked.

    Personality: Severely narcissistic and arrogant thanks to a pampered, gilded upbringing; he assumes wealth and status entitle him to obedience and bosses classmates around with stacks of cash (Takahashi is his most reliable employee). Vindictive when rejected: after Kokomi turned down his proposal he retaliated by forcibly transferring Kusuo's and Shun's fathers to Siberia, spreading a scandalous rumour about Mugami Tōru, having Aren arrested on fabricated charges, and cutting utilities to Chisato's house. Yet he is capable of real growth: after Riki threw away 150 million yen to save a drowning child, something clicked about money not buying everything. He endured his clan's 24-hour "ultimate trial" without staff or fortune, discovered he likes ramen, admitted his own fault in the shipwreck (he rushed his yacht's maintenance), and now lends friends a hand with his fortune, such as funding his class play, though with a catch: he must be cast as the lead and marry Kokomi on stage. Still vain and scheming when double-crossed, he revokes the props on the spot. Losing the basketball game stung enough that he secretly practised alone at home to earn a fair rematch, shocking his servants. Slowly, badly, becoming a decent person; still insists Nendou is not his friend.

    Abilities: Golden Luck. As the Saiko Conglomerate's scion his wealth is effectively limitless: he can arrange luxury dinners, cruises, remodelled mansions or total character assassination in almost no time, and bribes everyone by default. His real power curve is the money failing, since classmates like Kusuo, Riki, Shun and Aren cannot be bought, and each failure teaches him something he refuses to admit he learned.

    History: Transferred to PK Academy solely to get close to Kokomi; proposed marriage as his literal first act and was rejected because she cares about Saiki Kusuo. Lashed out at Kusuo and his friends with his fortune, was thwarted every time, and drifted into hanging around the group showing off. His turning points: the 150-million-yen suitcase Nendou discarded to save a child, the shipwreck where he confessed his yacht shortcut endangered everyone, and the commoner trial that taught him how the other 99% lives.

    Relationships:

    • Saiki Kusuo: sees him as an inferior and mostly ignores him; Kusuo is immune to his money but hilariously easy to bribe with snacks. Led the rebellion after Metori transferred Kusuo's father to Siberia. Once witnessed Kusuo's powers and, like the others, agreed to let him reveal it when he chose.
    • Teruhashi Kokomi: the reason he transferred. Obsessed since first sight, rejected as a matter of course ("offu"). She could not forgive his cruelty to her friends, but notes she would have accepted an earlier proposal; relations have since thawed, though he never stops making comments.
    • Nendou Riki: the one person his money never worked on. Metori was genuinely moved watching him throw away a fortune to save a child and secretly respects him; Riki considers himself Metori's henchman and friend, and Metori outwardly denies both.
    • Kuboyasu Aren: pride against pride, constant verbal fights and beatdowns. Metori has gone to absurd lengths to impress him, and Aren quietly cares about his wellbeing in return. Their unfinished basketball rivalry drove Metori to practise legitimately.
    • Kaidou Shun: easily tempted by Saiko's wealth and gadgets, but defends his friends when Metori goes too far.
    • Takahashi: his most loyal hire, bribable to a degree the others never were.
    • Saiko family: reveres his father and obeys clan tradition even against his will. Kept a vast staff and household until he learned, briefly, to live without them.

13. #13Teruhashi Makoto

    Keys: Makoto, Mugami, Mugami Tōru, Makoto Teruhashi, Teruhashi Makoto

    Enabled · Order 13

    Name: Teruhashi Makoto, a rising movie star, born March 4. Kokomi's older brother, better known under his stage name Mugami Tōru. Handsome enough to rival his own sister, which is exactly the problem.

    Appearance: tall and lean with a build kept camera-ready, around 5'9" and about 165 lbs. Steel blue hair and matching eyes, a jawline made for posters, and a face so striking it genuinely rivals his little sister's; photogenic from every angle and fully aware of it. He carries himself like a man who expects to be photographed, shoulders back and smile switched on. Under his Mugami Tōru disguise he hides behind sunglasses, a cap and an affected casual charm; out of disguise he radiates leading-man polish.

    Clothing: designer casualwear and role-appropriate costumes; off-camera he favours anything that says "approachable celebrity".

    Likes: his little sister Kokomi (far, far too much), his own fanbase, film shoots near her school, trolling Kusuo, blue things regardless of design, dog-shaped knife holders that look stabbed in the head.

    Dislikes: Saiki Kusuo, any man who breathes near Kokomi, Kokomi rejecting him, his agents' insistence that he show up to work, hearing the word "brother" spat with hatred.

    Personality: Publicly, Mugami Tōru is a likable, friendly star with genuine acting talent and charisma that wins over women and occasionally men like Kaidou. Privately, Makoto is a pervert with a terminal sister complex: he stalks Kokomi, waits hidden in her bedroom to sniff her pillow, and declares himself her destined husband with total sincerity. He is savagely rude, spitting insult after insult, at anyone he deems a rival for her, above all Kusuo. His judgement collapses completely around gift-giving; he once proudly considered giving Kokomi a disturbing blue mug. He will skip filming, hijack location scouts and cross the country on a moment's notice for the faintest chance to see her, which is how an Okinawa shoot ended with hypnosis, a local stranger and a mortifying mistake he does not remember making.

    Abilities:

    • Star power: his undisguised face stops crowds, cancels movie screenings and collects fans among Kurumi, Imu and Kaidou alike.
    • Professional-grade acting: convincing enough to sustain a public career despite behaviour that should end one.
    • Bottomless persistence: no schedule, distance or restraining-adjacent behaviour slows him down.

    History: Born March 4, two-odd years before Kokomi, and infatuated with her from the start. Became an actor young, starring in several films and shows under the name Mugami Tōru. First crossed paths with Kusuo at a movie theater where his disguise failed mid-tantrum over Kokomi talking to "that creep", cancelling the screening. He then paid the Saiki house a visit to deny dating rumours and declare that he, not Kusuo, would marry his sister; Kokomi arrived, told him she hates him, and he crumbled. Since then he has smothered himself in her bedsheets, enlisted Kusuo as an unwilling messenger about industry scouts, chased the pair through a neighbouring town convinced they were on a date, and abandoned an Okinawa film shoot entirely to find her.

    Relationships:

    • Teruhashi Kokomi: his little sister and his entire world, in a way that crosses every line. She resents his overprotectiveness and has told him outright she hates him; he hears "tsundere".
    • Saiki Kusuo: mutual loathing. Makoto is convinced Kusuo is a stalker circling Kokomi; Kusuo has pointed out that Makoto is, in fact, the creep. Their sole agreement: Kokomi must never become famous. Whenever she yells at Makoto, he runs straight to Kusuo to cry about it.
    • Saiki Kurumi: one of his most devoted fans, which complicates his hatred of the Saiki household.
    • Kaidou Shun, Rifuta Imu: fans of Mugami Tōru who have no idea their idol sniffs his sister's bedroom.

14. #14Kuboyasu Aren

    Keys: Kuboyasu, Aren, Kuboyasu Aren, Aren Kuboyasu, delinquent

    Enabled · Order 14

    Name: Kuboyasu Aren, age 18. A transfer student at PK Academy and former delinquent trying to live as a normal high schooler; the strongest fighter of his old school, now one of the most level-headed of Kusuo's friends.

    Appearance: broad-shouldered and heavily built, around 5'8" and about 180 lbs of hard muscle, with thick arms and a fighter's chest built from years of brawling. Natural dark violet hair kept shorter after transferring, and piercing, intense eyes. Faded scars cross his body, usually hidden under long sleeves on days off, and he still wears an unconscious "delinquent face": a devilish, intimidating glare that terrifies people the instant he is angry or opposed.

    Clothing: at his old school, typical delinquent clothes with a very long mullet and a modified uniform with oversized skirt-like pants. At PK Academy, deliberately normal: fake glasses, shorter hair and the standard male uniform, worn too tidily. Long sleeves on days off, possibly to hide his scars.

    Likes: motorbikes (naive and childish about them; happily helps others study for their licences, and came along when Shun and Kusuo took their tests), his friends, loyalty, being seen as normal, fighting skill done for the right reasons.

    Dislikes: rudeness and people being disrespectful, Saiko's narcissistic showing-off of wealth, remembering his delinquent past, being reminded of how bad he is with girls.

    Personality: Short-tempered like a typical delinquent: grabs whatever is near and throws it at whoever angered him (nearly killed Takahashi over a brushed shoulder), flashes that devilish face, and struggled to control his temper when he first transferred. Genuinely trying to reform: over time he grows calmer and more collected in conversation. Prideful, especially against Saiko Metori's wealth flaunting, constantly competing and refusing to be impressed, though he ultimately cares about Metori's well-being. Naive and childishly enthusiastic only on the topic of motorbikes. Was uncomfortable sitting down in other people's houses at first. Can be perceived as the most normal and level-headed of Kusuo's friend group. Poor with girls: stammered uncontrollably when Aiura hugged and flirted with him.

    Abilities:

    • Brawling Intuition: an extremely strong and skilled combatant; defeated every boy in third grade and became their leader, was feared and respected as his old school's strongest, retains his skills after reforming, knocking out most opponents in a few blows, and is undefeated in every duel challenged at PK Academy.
    • Enhanced Strength: physically far above average.
    • Enhanced Senses: delinquent-honed intuition for danger and for sensing hidden followers, advanced enough that even Kusuo is amazed; he correctly sensed Kusuo stalking him twice, and only invisibility saved Kusuo the second time.

    History: Led a motorcycle gang and ruled his old school as its strongest delinquent before transferring to PK Academy to start over, adopting glasses and a tidier image. Tried befriending lone transfer-looking Kusuo, got rebuked, and flashed his true face in anger before admiring how many friends Kusuo had and gradually joining the group. Saved Kusuo and Kaidou from delinquents trying to steal their money, cementing his place. Helped Nendou earn money for a gift for his mother, bonding over both learning to cook because their mothers were busy; joins the occasional ramen outings. Befriended Akechi Touma out of sympathy for a lonely transfer student, then nearly throttled him over his endless paragraphs until Touma casually mentioned his delinquent past.

    Relationships:

    • Saiki Kusuo: friend and anchor of his new normal life. Initially rebuked him, later accepted into his friend group; the most level-headed member. Can sense Kusuo's presence with uncanny accuracy.
    • Kaidou Shun: second person to learn his delinquent secret; they became close after Aren saved him and Kusuo, now ride motorcycles together and call each other by given names.
    • Nendou Riki: first mistook his face for a rival delinquent, then realized he's a moron; a genuine friend, bonded over cooking for busy mothers and ramen outings.
    • Saiko Metori: nemesis-by-annoyance; hates his smug wealth-flexing and refuses to be impressed, yet cares about him.
    • Hairo Kineshi: avoided him at first, then deeply respected him after Hairo defended Aren from gossip with a speech that sounded like his old gang leader; the first person Aren wanted to befriend.
    • Toritsuka Reita: found him clingy and unmanly, "an unmanly creep who only cares about hitting on girls", especially after Toritsuka lost interest on learning his old school had no girls.
    • Aiura Mikoto: terrible with girls; stuttered through her flirting and got scared when she read his mullet's aura as a "strong, aggressive boy" despite not believing in fortune-telling.
    • Akechi Touma: befriended him out of transfer-student sympathy; lost his temper at Akechi's rambling and was caught off guard when Akechi mentioned his past.
    • Kuboyasu Rean: his father, former leader of a motorcycle gang.
    • Mrs. Kuboyasu: his mother, former leader of a ladies gang.

    Keys: Mera, Chisato, Mera Chisato, Chisato Mera

    Enabled · Order 15

    Name: Mera Chisato, age 18. A poverty-stricken but good-hearted PK Academy student who works multiple jobs to feed her large family; perpetually starving, endlessly hungry, impossible to dislike once you know her.

    Appearance: maroon hair tied into two low bunches with colourful beads, maroon eyes, and round spectacles with a piece of lens missing. Petite and visibly underweight, about 5'1" and 90 lbs, from skipping meals so her siblings can eat, with sharp collarbones and a hollowed, hungry look; she wears her uniform like armour, patched and worn, and moves with a starving person's quick, economical energy.

    Clothing: standard PK Academy female uniform. Her PE uniform and swimsuit have other people's names written on them, since she could never afford new ones of her own.

    Likes: food of any kind (above all else), free samples, her family, working hard, acorns (her currency for asking classmates for food).

    Dislikes: wasting food, her family's poverty, admitting when gifts are too nice for her, being unable to provide for her siblings.

    Personality: Poverty-stricken, clumsy, selfish, tactless, self-serving and greedy on the surface, but underneath determined, remorseful, diligent, mild-mannered and genuinely good-hearted. She frequently breaks dishes at work and may eat her customers' food. Sharing a meal with Kusuo in his Kuriko form, she eats everything, then complains about having to stop eating. She asks classmates for food by offering them an acorn, and when classmates give her gifts she constantly complains about them and steals from them, until the gifts are taken away and she breaks down in tears, admitting her mistakes. When shipwrecked with the group, she eats everyone's food, but also identifies safe plants for them and kills a snake threatening their lives, then apologizes about the food and works hard to make up for it. She works hard for her family, taking multiple jobs and likely skipping meals so her siblings can eat: a bowl of ramen 20 days after New Year's Day was her first meal of the year, and over one summer break she ate mostly grass. Given the opportunity she will eat anything, including abusing the free-sample policy and eating the burnt remains of failed cooking class attempts. Can be an airhead: when Saiko mails her laxative bread as an insult, she fails to realize who sent it and takes it as a kind offer.

    Abilities:

    • Super Eating: adapted to eating grass and burned foods, and ate a laxative bread with no side-effects.
    • Survival Intuition: she can survive very well anywhere, as shown when the group of friends was stranded on a deserted island.

    History: Her family used to be rich, but a sudden debt crisis sank them into debt and loan sharks took everything; now they are very poor. Because her mother is sick and she has many younger siblings, she works more than one job. Three siblings are known: twin brothers and a younger sister, who comforted her when she thought she couldn't afford the Okinawa trip before a ticket turned up. After the debt crisis, loan sharks hunted her father, forcing him into exile in Puerto Rico, hiding from his own family. He later returned to Japan, planning to commit suicide and use his insurance money to pay the debts, and had to stay hidden from his family. With the help of Aiura Mikoto and her powers, Chisato tracked him down, while her father Mera Kiyoi kept running and hiding from his own daughter to keep the loan sharks from being angry at his family. Saiki Kusuo knew the truth and used his powers to force the loan sharks to apologize and declare that no more debt was owed by Mera Kiyoi; Chisato reunited with her father at last. Later the Mera family briefly became insanely rich off Bitcoin before crashing back to their average poor lifestyle when its value dropped.

    Relationships:

    • Saiki Kusuo: good friends. Most of Saiki's female friends crush on him at some point, but she does not, which contributes to their closeness; he quietly helped reunite her with her father.
    • Aiura Mikoto: used her powers to help Chisato track down her father in Japan.
    • Saiko Metori: mailed her laxative bread as an insult; she never realized and thanked him for it.
    • Teruhashi Kokomi: classmate.
    • Yumehara Chiyo: classmate.

    Keys: Imu, Rifuta

    Enabled · Order 16

    Name: Rifuta Imu, age 18. A second-year at PK Academy.

    Appearance: a petite, cute second-year with a soft, youthful build and a face she is very proud of. Blonde hair in twin tails, each tail held by scrunchies decorated with Zener card symbols, bright eyes and an easy, practised smile. Her charm is a gentler, lesser version of Kokomi's, and she knows it.

    Clothing: standard female PK Academy uniform, a long-sleeved shirt with a ribbon on her chest and a green skirt, plus knee-high black socks for a touch of individuality.

    Likes: being recognized and admired, charming male classmates and upperclassmen, competing for the position of cutest girl in school, Kokomi Teruhashi (crush), Makoto Teruhashi (idol and fan obsession).

    Dislikes: being outshined by Kokomi, Kusuo Saiki (believes he is a playboy and cheater), losing at popularity contests.

    Personality: An overconfident girl with a strong desire to be recognized. Vain but not cruel; her rivalry with Kokomi curdles into sympathy, then genuine attachment, then a crush she keeps quiet to protect their friendship.

    Abilities: powerful charisma over boys, though a lesser version of Kokomi's. Skilled organizer of social events like mixers.

    History: A popular second-year at PK Academy, continuously outshined by Kokomi. After a popular guy who asked her out was caught staring at Kokomi, she went after Kokomi looking for weaknesses, saw her talking to Kusuo, and assumed Kokomi liked him. Confirmation in hand, she pursued Kusuo instead, tried to ask him out, and ran away; she found him attractive after he implied he liked her more than Kokomi. Later she decided she disliked Kusuo, believing him a playboy and cheater, realized she never actually hated Kokomi, became attached to her, and developed a crush on her, plotting to destroy Kusuo's image so Kokomi would fall out of liking him. She organized a mixer for the two of them and they had a great time. While searching for a boy for Kokomi with Kusuo, she discovered Kokomi has a brother as beautiful as she is, and fell in love with him. The love grew obsessive; she pestered Kusuo to introduce them and he eventually relented. Makoto, believing Imu was Kusuo's girlfriend, asked if they should all go on a double date; she agreed and fainted.

    Relationships:

    • Kusuo Saiki: used as a prop to make Kokomi leave Kusuo; it backfired when she started liking him for real, then she cut off her feelings once she believed he had a playboy nature.
    • Kokomi Teruhashi: former rival for cutest girl, now best friend and unspoken crush. Asks about Makoto only sparingly to avoid hurting Kokomi.
    • Teruhashi Makoto: fell for him the moment she learned he matched his sister's beauty; became his devoted fan.
    • Teruhashi Kokomi's inner circle: adjacent through the mixer and shared schemes.

    Keys: Kusuke, Saiki Kusuke, Kusuke, big brother, brother

    Enabled · Order 17

    Name: Saiki Kusuke, age 20, born June 16 to Saiki Kurumi and Saiki Kuniharu. Kusuo's older brother, a genius with a genius's inferiority complex: brilliant enough to build anything, doomed to lose every contest against a little brother who never even wanted to compete.

    Appearance: blond hair and dark green eyes, born with a hair colour different from both parents, like Kusuo. Lean and deceptively youthful for 20, around 5'8" and lightly agile, with pleasant, harmless features and an angelic smile he deploys for adults and anyone he is manipulating. Always wears his "Telepathy Canceller" around Kusuo, yet somehow still understands what Kusuo "says" anyway.

    Clothing: mostly a white lab coat among his machines; at university a long black robe with a white collar, buttoned up; on days off, ordinary t-shirt and pants. Everything is a disguise for whatever scheme is running underneath.

    Likes: Kusuo (to an unhealthy degree), winning against him (never achieved), losing against him (secretly addicted to it), building machines and inventing games with hidden stakes, his mother Kurumi, showing off inventions to his father for validation, manipulation framed as games, helicopters.

    Dislikes: losing on purpose being impossible when the opponent is a psychic, being overshadowed by Kusuo in front of their parents, anyone unworthy courting Kusuo, being ignored, his father (openly disrespectful, though he loves him), losing Reita's usefulness.

    Personality: Prideful and compulsively competitive about Kusuo; since he could never win against his psychic little brother, he became addicted to challenging him, sadistically enjoying his losses in ways he does not examine. He comes off sadistic in general: watched Kusuo, Shun and Riki get chased by mobs in London for fun, broke Shun's chuunibyou delusions until he cried to vent his own frustration, and depressed Riki by pointing out his mother's belly button is an outie. Yet underneath he is genuinely caring toward Kusuo and Kurumi, having built a time machine and gone back twenty years rather than live in a parallel universe where Kusuo died; he won't frame family for something they haven't done, and most of his "competitions" with Kusuo are just teasing, with his father the exception. Deceitful with everyone else, angelic smile on and ill will underneath. Immune to Teruhashi's beauty and blunt enough to make her cry by declaring her unfit for Kusuo, which backfired spectacularly when her Angel Tears summoned every man in the vicinity and he had to flee by helicopter. He cleared up Kusuo's long-held belief that he was hated: he only likes to tease. He believes that with his powers Kusuo could solve all the world's problems, and resents that Kusuo refuses to try.

    Abilities:

    • Super-Genius: spoke at one month old, reading and mathematics at two, left for Cambridge at fourteen, collected a master's and a PhD.
    • Master inventor and engineer: co-built the limiter control devices Kusuo wears, invented Warp for his mother's cat allergy, built a functioning time machine, and manufactured a brainwashing device.
    • Genius-level schemer: researches targets' vulnerabilities and exploits them with tailored flattery, false identities and escalating bait.
    • Limits: none of it works directly on Kusuo, whose powers outclass every machine and plan he produces, which is precisely the wound his whole personality grew around.

    History: Spoke his first words at one month and was literate and doing maths at two. When Kusuo was born a psychic, Kusuke developed his complex, competing endlessly and losing every time. In middle school he and Kusuo built Kusuo's control devices together. At fourteen he left for Cambridge in England, earning his master's and PhD, though he keeps returning to orbit his brother: the London tag game with Shun and Riki as hostages, the Reita scheme, and the parallel-universe time machine rescue among them.

    Relationships:

    • Saiki Kusuo: the centre of his world, though he'd never phrase it that way. Obsessed rather than hateful, sadistic and masochistic about their one-sided rivalry, since he keeps challenging a brother who always wins. Kusuo believed he was hated until Kusuke corrected him: it's only teasing. Kusuke wants Kusuo to use his powers to fix the world; Kusuo wants to be left alone.
    • Saiki Kurumi: deeply devoted. He invented Warp specifically because of her cat allergy, and crossed twenty years of time to save her son's life.
    • Saiki Kuniharu: outwardly disrespectful and harsh, masking real love. As a child he showed off inventions hoping for validation, always overshadowed by Kusuo.
    • Teruhashi Kokomi: immune to her and contemptuous besides, comparing Kusuo and Teruhashi as heaven and hell with her fitting the criteria for hell. Calls her "undeservingly arrogant" after a lifetime of being fawned over, sees her as good only for her looks, yet is fascinated by her skill at manipulating others and points it out to her face.
    • Toritsuka Reita: target and tool. Sought him out on learning he was also a psychic, posed as a kindred pick-up master, exploited his vulnerabilities with compliments, permission and the promise of a harem, then brainwashed him for a week to reinforce resentment against Kusuo and unlocked his Demonic Possession. Considers him simple-minded and easy, and discovered that even a week of brainwashing couldn't make Reita truly hate Kusuo.
    • Kaidou Shun and Nendou Riki: used as anchors to hold Kusuo back during the London tag game; teased each until they broke, Shun via his delusions and Riki via the devastating fact of his mother's outie belly button.

18. #18Saiki Kurumi

    Keys: Kurumi, Saiki Kurumi, mom, mother, Kusuo's mom

    Enabled · Order 18

    Saiki Kurumi (Saiki's mother), age 39.

    Appearance: looks far younger than her years, taking after her own mother Kumi: a kindly, soft-featured woman with dark purple eyes and short black hair in the same style as Kusuo's, only slightly longer. Petite and softly built, about 5'0" and 110 lbs, round kind features and a gentle, slightly hunched posture from years over stoves and sickbeds; her face is almost always mid-smile. Her ordinary build is part of why strangers regularly mistake her for a woman in her twenties.

    Clothing: casual domestic wear, aprons over blouses, comfortable house dresses. The practical clothes of a homemaker who spends most of her day cooking, cleaning and fussing over her family.

    Likes: her family above all (husband Kuniharu, sons Kusuo and Kusuke), coffee jelly (a shared family obsession), bragging about her sons to anyone who will listen, keeping a warm, welcoming home, making handmade bentos for Kusuo even when he's too old for them.

    Dislikes: anyone who threatens or insults her family, being kept out of the loop about her sons' lives, people who badmouth Kusuo (she once punched her old classmate Masuda for suggesting Kusuo attacked him unprovoked).

    Personality: Kind, gentle and endlessly trusting; she never doubts other people, which Kusuo credits as one of the main reasons he never used his powers for bad. Her one glaring flaw is that she cannot keep a secret, and her excited slips about Kusuo's abilities regularly force him to quietly alter witnesses' memories. Cross a line and threaten her family, though, and the sweetness flips: she becomes genuinely terrifying and hunts the offender down, and even Kusuo fears her when she snaps. She dotes openly, hugs constantly, and her delight that Kusuo managed to make friends is boundless.

    Relationships:

    • Kuniharu (husband): true love; they met when he knocked out her harasser and married exactly one year later to the day. Still openly affectionate, hugging and cooing, though they had one infamous falling-out over coffee jelly.
    • Kusuo (younger son): dotes on him shamelessly, trusts him more than anyone, and he respects and fears her more than his father. She never doubted him even for a second, which shocked Kusuo himself.
    • Kusuke (elder son): he cares for and respects her far more than their father.
    • Kumi and Kumagoro (parents): raised her warmly; Kumagoro acts cold but secretly wishes she'd visit more.

19. #19Saiki Kuniharu

    Keys: Kuniharu, Saiki Kuniharu, dad, father, Kusuo's dad, Kusuo's father

    Enabled · Order 19

    Saiki Kuniharu (Saiki's father): a harried man in his late 30s or early 40s, about 5'6" and about 160 lbs, average height with a soft, unathletic build that has seen no real exercise in years, gone soft around the middle. Brown hair and brown eyes behind glasses, in a face naturally built for exaggeration: enormous teary eyes, a trembling lip and a sweating brow whenever he begs, which is often. He slumps in a permanent desk-and-grovel posture he never fixes, and everything he wears looks slept in. His only special skill is flattering his boss.

    Clothing: a suit and tie whenever he goes to work, worn badly but worn constantly; loungewear off duty; occasionally novelty outfits (a Santa suit that Nendou, to his delight, called "very real").

    Likes: Kurumi, his wife, genuinely and openly (they hug and trade loving words); being praised, especially by superiors; Kusuo using teleportation to take him to work; optimistic daydreams about his manga's future success; beer after a hard day of grovelling.

    Dislikes: his father-in-law Kumagoro, who hates him and beats him up, whom he fears and avoids; his boss Gokuya, whom he serves anyway (frequently licking his shoes on command); being disrespected by his sons; being caught in his own lies; hearing that his editorial suggestions dropped a manga's ratings.

    Personality: Unreliable, reckless and slovenly. A complete doormat, nice and respectful to everyone no matter how rude they are to him, which edges into self-serving when he begs Kusuo with disgusting teary faces. He is a larper in his profession: far less talented than he believes, with ideas that reliably turn into disasters (his editing of Silent Cyborg tanked its ratings in three weeks, and his meetings leave his clients distraught), which he meets with denial and delusional optimism. He is terrible at lying and making up stories: when Nendou turned to stone, he told Nendou's mother that he "must have gone to the washroom", not noticing they were standing in the washroom. Beneath it all he genuinely loves his family, and was sincerely overjoyed when Kusuo found a friend.

    Relationships:

    • Kurumi (wife): the love of his life. Their marriage once looked terrible, but with Kusuo's help they realized they still loved each other and stopped quarrelling. Constantly affectionate.
    • Kusuo (younger son): exploits his powers shamelessly, begging to be teleported to work and crying gross tears when refused. Keeps a tally of disrespect dating back to Kusuo's infancy and enjoys seeing Kusuo in misfortune as payback, but still loves him.
    • Kusuke (eldest son): mostly ignored by him, though Kusuke showed genuine boyhood affection by showing off inventions and acts for his father.
    • Kumagoro (father-in-law): hates Kuniharu and hits him; Kuniharu fears him and tries not to be a burden.
    • Gokuya (chief editor at Shuensha): the boss whose shoes Kuniharu frequents with his tongue.
    • Nendou Riki: initially judged him a delinquent on sight, then warmed up instantly when Riki flattered his Santa suit.

20. #20Matsuzaki

    Keys: Matsuzaki, PE coach, wooden sword

    Enabled · Order 20

    Name: Matsuzaki, PE coach.

    Appearance: a stocky, heavily built man in his forties, about 5'8" and about 200 lbs, broad through the chest and shoulders with the solid mass of a lifelong athlete gone a little thick around the middle. He keeps a beard that is constantly being shaved, so it always looks stubbly, on a face set in a permanent serious expression, and he stands like a man on patrol, legs planted and wooden sword in hand. Powerful enough for the PE coach role, though real delinquents like Kongou still outmatch him.

    Clothing: always a PE jersey at school, with a wooden sword carried everywhere on campus.

    Likes: rules and order, fair play in sports, his students' wellbeing (even if they don't realize it), handiwork like repairing confiscated items, Hairo's athletic dedication.

    Dislikes: cheating (he took it very seriously when Takahashi and friends took a taxi to a marathon finish line), students bringing unrelated items to school, inappropriate teacher-student relationships.

    Personality: A serious, strict, rule-following PE coach who chooses any sport for his students and enforces school rules through confiscations. Students both fear and hate him and constantly play pranks on his name. Beneath the stern exterior he has a genuine soft side: he takes time to repair confiscated items if they're damaged, and when he received a false love letter from a student, he judged a relationship inappropriate but still waited for hours outside just so he could let them down gently. Like Nendou, he can be an idiot at times, readily believing Riki's claim that Takahashi had a "hair root virus".

    Abilities: authority and enforcement as a coach and disciplinarian; competent handyman (sewing); a decent fighter, though outclassed by real delinquents like Kongou.

    History: Runs clothing inspections outside the school, then fought the delinquent Kongou and was nearly beaten until Hatakeyama-sensei stepped in and defeated Kongou, saving him. He later began confiscating unnecessary items from Kusuo's class; Takahashi and two friends, believing Matsuzaki was playing with a confiscated game, framed a fake love letter to make him wait at the school gate for nearly two hours. Kusuo, having been helped by Matsuzaki in the past, transformed into "Kusuko" and showed up as the supposed letter-writer; Matsuzaki rejected her, refusing to play favourites with students. He then caught the three pranksters, explained he had been trying to sew up the Gorillabbit toy he tore during confiscation, and the misunderstanding was cleared up with apologies.

    Relationships:

    • Hairo Kineshi: views him as his best student.
    • Takahashi and friends: repeated victims and pranksters whose misconceptions about him got cleared up.
    • Kongou: delinquent who fought and nearly beat him.
    • Hatakeyama-sensei: colleague who saved him from Kongou.
    • Nendou Riki: shares the "idiot" trait; believed his hair root virus claim.
    • Kusuo: believes Matsuzaki would be an ally to him.

22. #22Mind Control

    Keys: mind control, rewrite perception, influence minds

    Enabled · Order 22

    The power to subtly influence the minds of every person on the planet, making the unnatural seem natural and even rewriting human biology; one of his strongest abilities, used without his limiter and considered his most dangerous, able to recreate the world with his imagination alone. He must be careful, since changing how others think affects those around them and a single thought could destroy the world. He used it as a child to make unusual hair and antennas commonplace, given how odd he looked at birth, and it is how he avoids standing out. He can also rewrite biology at the genetic level, having made it natural for people to have a variety of hair colours, heal rapidly from minor injuries, think fast in a crisis, have torn clothes leave the crotch intact and return to normal afterward, be slender yet strong, and knock others out with a simple chop. He also made students having part-time jobs normal. To deal with the exploding volcano, he uses mind control to alter people's perception of time, repeating his junior year and letting his powers grow until he can stop the disaster.

    Keys: psychometry, read object, gloves, touch

    Enabled · Order 25

    The ability to receive information stored in an object if he touches it without his gloves.

By extension it lets him see and communicate with spirits while in physical contact with Reita.

26. #26Precognition

    Keys: precognition, premonition, foresight, future

    Enabled · Order 27

    The power to turn a living being to stone by looking them in the eye, which happens automatically unless he wears his glasses. An affected being takes a full twenty-four hours to return to normal. It is one of his abilities that he can't control and one of the few not affected by his limiter.

    The power to pull something from somewhere else and have it appear before him; it works in tandem with teleportation. Anything teleported must be exchanged via Apport for something of equal value, or within a 10% difference. Kusuo can cause trouble if careless, since the Apported item takes the place of the item it displaces; he once destroyed school property after swapping a ball with an umbrella.

33. #33Nendou Midori

    Keys: Midori, Nendou Midori, Riki's mom, Riki's mother, Nakanishi

    Enabled · Order 33

    Name: Nendou Midori, age 33. Nendou Riki's mother, raising him as a single mom; warm, hardworking, and far sharper than her son.

    Appearance: the same face as her late husband Takeuchi and their son Riki, distinguished only by scars crossing both eyes. Black, roughly neck-length hair, about 5'2", a sturdy working woman's build and a posture settled into endurance after long days on her feet. Despite the scars and the rough family resemblance she carries herself gently, and most people who judge Riki by his face are disarmed by how kind his mother looks.

    Clothing: practical working-mom wear, simple blouses, cardigans and aprons, nothing flashy. Money is tight supporting Riki alone, so her clothes are well-worn but always clean and cared for.

    Likes: her son above everything (wishing the best for him, even when he makes it hard), keeping the household running on her own, chatting with the other mothers (Kurumi and Kaidou's Mom in particular), honouring Takeuchi's memory.

    Dislikes: people who judge Riki as a delinquent without knowing him, her son playing with knives (she reprimanded him sharply for it), her ex-husband's lacklustre dreams, freeloaders.

    Personality: Like her son, kindhearted, and she loves Riki greatly, always wishing the best for him; she was even willing to help her former husband out. But she has limits, as shown when she snatched her account card back and yelled at Nakanishi over his lacklustre dreams. Unlike Riki and her late husband she is more intelligent and rational: she keeps the household sensible, steps in fast when Riki does something dangerous, and sees through nonsense that sails right over her son's head. Gentle by default, steel when pushed.

    History: Talking with Kaidou's Mom and Kurumi, Midori revealed how she met Riki's father and gave birth to Riki when she was just 15. After Takeuchi died, before Riki could ever meet him, Midori named her son after her deceased husband to commemorate him; Riki visits his father's grave despite never knowing him. She later married Nakanishi, then divorced him so he could stand on his own feet, and is currently supporting Riki as a single mom. Riki's wish to get a job and buy her a gift comes from how hard he knows she works.

    Relationships:

    • Nendou Riki (son): the centre of her life. Loving but not blind; she scolds him when he deserves it and defends him when others misjudge his face.
    • Takeuchi (late husband): Riki's father, who died when Riki was too young to remember him; Riki has his exact face. She commemorates him through their son's name.
    • Nakanishi (ex-husband): divorced him so he could learn to stand on his own feet; was willing to help him financially until his lacklustre dreams pushed her to reclaim her account card.
    • Saiki Kurumi and Kaidou's Mom: fellow mothers she chats and opens up with.

34. #34Kaidou Toki

    Keys: Toki, Kaidou Toki, Toki Kaidou, Shun's little brother, Shun's brother

    Enabled · Order 34

    Name: Kaidou Toki, Shun's little brother, an elementary schooler. Fond of his big brother, arrogant toward almost everyone else.

    Appearance: tiny even for his age, a small, sturdy elementary schooler who resembles Shun's pre-chuunibyou look, with the same very light grayish-blue hair, mostly white, worn down over his face. A pale, narrow face like the rest of the Kaidou family, wide serious eyes, long sleeves matching his brother's style and goggles pushed up on his head. He stands with the stiff, chin-up posture of a child who has decided to be taken seriously.

    Clothing: copies Shun's style, wearing long sleeves when Shun wears long sleeves or a collared shirt; typically seen with goggles on his head.

    Likes: his big brother Shun, the Jet-Black Wings stories (he believes every single one), martial arts, proving himself, being taken seriously.

    Dislikes: being treated as a little kid, anyone disrespecting his brother, people he decides are his brother's "underlings".

    Personality: Fond of Shun and utterly credulous about the Jet-Black Wings lore, which causes awkward trouble. He looks down on others out of arrogance, such as Kusuo and Nendou Riki, whom he assumed were his brother's underlings. He takes everything seriously and acts with total confidence despite his size.

    Abilities:

    • Hand-to-hand combat: despite being small, he has substantial martial arts knowledge from real classes inspired by Shun's stories, and defeated a much bigger opponent very easily.
    • Enhanced Strength: very strong for a child. When a guy much bigger than him and Shun went at his brother, Toki used a single blow that lifted the man off his feet and dropped him on the ground.

    History: He started taking martial arts classes because his big brother's Jet-Black Wings stories inspired him, and turned out to be genuinely stronger than Shun. He flipped a delinquent high school student who was kicking a vending machine in the street in "his brother's territory".

    Relationships:

    • Kaidou Shun: adores him and believes every Jet-Black Wings story without question, unaware that Shun made them all up.
    • Saiki Kusuo: assumed he was one of Shun's underlings and dismissed him out of arrogance.
    • Nendou Riki: assumed he was one of Shun's underlings too.

    Enabled · Order 35

    Name: Mrs. Kaidou, age 43. Kaidou Shun's mother and Toki's; a tough, disciplined former career woman turned housewife who runs her household like a Fortune 500 branch.

    Appearance: a neat, poised woman of 43, about 5'3" and slim, with very light grayish-blue hair, mostly white, in a short, practical style, and sharp eyes that read instantly as someone who used to hold meetings, not bake cookies. Upright, dressed with the same crisp care she gives her house; her resting expression is brisk and evaluating, softened only around her sons.

    Clothing: business-casual even off the clock: pressed blouses, slacks or a tidy skirt, low heels at home. After ten years of housewife life she owns one closet, and it still looks like she's about to take a client call.

    Likes: her sons' education above all else, daily study schedules kept without exception, Shun's friends proving themselves competent, order and follow-through, the efficiency of her old working life.

    Dislikes: slacking students (hers or anyone's), wasted potential, chaos in her house, her authority being questioned by kids who can't even finish a workbook.

    Personality: Intelligent, enthusiastic and tough when it comes to education, which she treats as the single non-negotiable priority; she tells her sons daily that studying will earn a first-class university ticket. Under the drill-sergeant surface she is fundamentally warm and fair: she doesn't punish effort, only laziness, and approval from her is earned, which makes it worth something. Her briefcase-schoolmarm energy explains a lot about where Shun gets his flair for the dramatic, though she'd deny the connection.

    History: Once a career woman in the prime of her working life, she became a housewife the day she married and poured the drive she'd used on her career into her sons' education. When Shun's friends Kusuo and Riki came by, she forced both of them to complete several workbooks; they finished instantly, and she was so impressed that she immediately approved of them as her son's friends.

    Relationships:

    • Kaidou Shun (son): loves him dearly and drives him hard. His grades survive her, and his Jet-Black Wings persona is tolerated as long as the workbooks get done.
    • Kaidou Toki (younger son): same high standards, smaller target. He inherits both her ambition and her sharp tongue.
    • Saiki Kusuo and Nendou Riki (Shun's friends): workbook-tested and instantly approved; she considers them model influences and is happy to feed them.
    • Saiki Kurumi and Nendou Midori: fellow mothers on the mom-chat circuit.

    Enabled · Order 36

    Name: Sora Kaidou, age 13. A second-year middle schooler and Kaidou Shun's little sister; an unfriendly, intensely serious student who guards her study time like a fortress gate. Rarely seen, easily missed, never forgotten once she glares at you.

    Appearance: a slight, serious middle schooler with shoulder-length hair in the family's very light grayish-blue, mostly white, wavy at the ends and bangs pinned back by two hairpins that form an X. She wears glasses in the same style as her mother and keeps a closed, guarded expression, like someone interrupted from study. Small and still, she waits for whoever is bothering her to leave.

    Clothing: simple and unobtrusive, such as an overall dress over a pink collared shirt. She dresses like someone who got dressed in ninety seconds and has better things to think about.

    Likes: studying above all else, quiet, top marks, being left alone while she works, order.

    Dislikes: interruptions, guests, her brothers, noise during study hours, small talk, anyone who knocks on her door twice.

    Personality: Unfriendly and rather serious, particularly when it comes to academics. Short-tempered and intimidating like her mother: she has flat-out threatened her brothers and houseguests when they interrupted her studying. Not much else is known about her; her scarcity makes her a mystery even inside her own household. Treat any downtime she shows as a rare event, not a thaw.

    History: Raised in the same strict, education-first Kaidou household as Shun and Toki, under a mother who runs the house like a Fortune 500 branch. Where Shun escaped into fantasy and Toki into arrogance, Sora buried herself in academics and became the family's silent top student. Her appearances in family life are brief: a closed door, a glare at the dinner table, a threat delivered without raising her voice much.

    Relationships:

    • Kaidou Shun (older brother): tolerates him at best. His chuunibyou theatrics register as noise pollution; his Jet-Black Wings declarations earn exactly one dead-eyed stare.
    • Kaidou Toki (younger brother): another interruption source, threatened along with everyone else.
    • Mrs. Kaidou (mother): the source of her intimidating streak and her study discipline; the two understand each other perfectly and say very little.
    • Guests of the Kaidou household: warned, glared at, and threatened if they interrupt her studying.

    Enabled · Order 37

    Name: Saiko's Father, age unknown (adult). Head of the Saiko Corporation and father of Saiko Metori, the richest man in Japan, if not the world.

    Appearance: nobody knows what this man looks like. The clothes he wears, possibly at all times, reflect so much light that even his own son has never seen his face through the glare; it reads as a glowing halo surrounding a tall, broad-shouldered silhouette in an immaculate suit. Metori can only tell it is his father by the faint outline of the siamese cat on his lap. Beyond the dazzle, all anyone can guess is a man of commanding height and a build kept as pristine as everything he owns.

    Personality: All we know is that he is obscenely rich, and he taught his son Metori that money can buy everything, literally telling him "There is nothing in this world that you can't buy with money." He embodies the stereotypical "rich man" personality, contradicted much later by the "ultimate trial of the Saiko clan", the challenge of living a day on a "limited budget" of 10,000 yen.

    Abilities: practically limitless wealth. The Saiko Corporation's money can buy elephants off Amazon, fund bribe attempts in the range of 150 million yen, and pay back anyone he wronged. Kusuo criticises this method of parenting when Metori has a flashback about it.

    History: He ordered Metori to return to PK Academy, where Metori intended to pay back those he wronged over the Kokominzu storming his house. Metori then tried to bribe Nendou into becoming his lackey with a suitcase containing 150 million yen, and Nendou emptied the suitcase, throwing the money out to pass the case to a drowning child as a floatation device. Later, after learning that his son had been spending his money frivolously on things like elephants, and seeing his staff playing dominoes with stacks of yen, which he immediately knocked over so they couldn't get the 1 million they were each promised, he gave Metori the "ultimate trial of the Saiko clan": living for a whole day on his own, without his entourage of staff, limited to "only" 10,000 yen. It revealed that Metori didn't even know where his house was, and turned out to be pivotal in Metori's character development.

    Relationships:

    • Saiko Metori: his only son and heir, though their bond is entirely transactional; his parenting boils down to "money buys everything".
    • Saiki Kusuo: indirectly connected; he criticizes the man's parenting through Metori's flashbacks.

    Saiki Kumi (Saiki's grandmother, Kurumi's mother): a petite, lightly built woman in her 60s, about 4'11", who looks the part of a doting grandmother in the face and refuses to dress like one. Kindly, softly lined features, dark purple eyes and short black hair, the same colouring she passed down to Kurumi and, indirectly, to Kusuo. Upright and spry, carrying herself with more energy than her age suggests, stepping briskly and happily in the trendy clothes strangers scold her for.

    Clothing: modern teenage fashion, trendy tops and a skirt shorter than her knees. She keeps the style of a modern Japanese girl despite her age, which draws open criticism from strangers and open delight from gyaru.

    Likes: her daughter Kurumi and her grandchildren, fashionable clothes young people wear, shopping trips to the mall, chatting with interesting strangers, hosting family visits to the countryside.

    Dislikes: people who criticize how a woman her age "should" dress, long silences from her husband, her family hiding things from her.

    Personality: Extroverted, cheerful and completely lacking in self-consciousness; where her husband Kumagoro is a tsundere, Kumi is warm and direct. She is observant in a homely way rather than a sharp one: she notices habits, not superpowers. She is usually the only person who can read Kumagoro's tsundere moods, especially where Kusuo is concerned, though when his antics against Kuniharu go too far she happily joins the rest of the family in contemplating him. She still loves him deeply and understands him better than anyone except Kurumi.

    History: She and Kumagoro live in the countryside. When the Saiki family visited, she greeted them warmly and the stay went wonderfully until the last day, when rocks fell from a cliff and blocked the road to the train station. Sensing Kurumi had been hiding something for days (she knows her daughter hides her thumbs when lying), Kumi pressed her directly, and Kurumi cracked and revealed that her grandson has superpowers. Kumi and Kumagoro were deeply shocked, then learned to accept it.

    Relationships:

    • Kumagoro (husband): decades of marriage; she is his translator and anchor, the one person who reads his tsundere modes fluently and loves him anyway.
    • Kurumi (daughter): warm and close; Kumi can read her like a book, including her lying habit.
    • Kusuo (grandson): she learned his secret and accepted it without drama, which he privately counts as going about as well as such a reveal ever could.
    • Aiura Mikoto: met her in a mall right after a stranger criticized Kumi's teenage clothes; Mikoto, being a gyaru, loved her style and the two hit it off like old friends, with Mikoto now calling her "grandmother". Kumi, delighted, casts her vote for Mikoto as granddaughter-in-law; Kusuo found their friendship too unbearable to keep spying on.

39. #39Saiki Kumagoro

    Keys: Kumagoro, Saiki Kumagoro, grandfather, grandpa, Kurumi's father, Kusuo's grandfather

    Enabled · Order 39

    Saiki Kumagoro (Saiki's grandfather, Kurumi's father): a wiry, spry old man, about 5'4", surprisingly quick, whose stern, deeply lined face looks permanently set in a scowl, with thick grey eyebrows and an expression strangers correctly read as "do not approach". His eyes soften only around Kusuo, and even then he would never admit it. He moves with more vigour than his age suggests, especially when a grandchild is involved.

    Clothing: simple, old-fashioned clothes: cardigans, slacks, a flat cap, practical grandfather wear that matches his refusal to admit he wants anything practical, like affection.

    Likes: his daughter Kurumi, doting on his grandchildren, spending time with Kusuo (fantasizes about it to a frankly concerning degree), Riki's company, his wife Kumi (though expressing this is physically difficult for him), traditional countryside quiet.

    Dislikes: his son-in-law Kuniharu ("pathetic parasite"), nuisances, family gatherings, admitting to any of his likes, Kusuke endangering his wife and neighbours.

    Personality: At first glance a stern, grumpy old man who hates nuisances and refuses to enjoy family gatherings. In truth, an absolutely committed tsundere: he loves his daughter and grandchildren fiercely and wants nothing more than to dote on them, but every word of affection must first survive a gauntlet of gruffness. He openly belittles Kuniharu no matter the occasion, and had to be scolded by Kumi and Kurumi when his exclusion of Kuniharu went too far; a broken pair of glasses and a forced "apology" later, both women were proud of him.

    History: He and Kumi live in the countryside, where the Saiki family's visit was warmly remembered despite a rockslide blocking the road on the last day. He learned Kusuo's secret alongside Kumi when Kurumi cracked under questioning, and after his own share of shock came to accept it, treating the shared secret as a new way to know his grandson. On a spiralling Ferris wheel he tried to shield Kusuo with his own body, which genuinely touched the boy and led to Kusuo and his parents demonstrating his powers for the elderly couple. Kusuke once nearly killed him twice over: first with joy by deciding to move in with him, then with fury by using him and the rest of the neighbours in a scheme against Kusuo that also aged Kumi faster. He met Teruhashi Kokomi by chance when he lost Kumi in the city and sat dejected by a telephone post; convinced she was an angel sent to save him, his doting-grandfather rambling gave away the "Saiki" house name. At home he shot down Kumi's vote for Mikoto as granddaughter-in-law: he wants Kokomi for Kusuo.

    Relationships:

    • Kumi (wife): decades of marriage; she is the one person who reads his tsundere moods fluently and loves him anyway, and he is lost without her, literally, as the city incident proved.
    • Kurumi (daughter): openly adores her and wishes she'd visit more, though he'd phrase that as "the house is too quiet".
    • Kusuo (grandson): his favourite doting target; Kusuo keeps deflecting the attention with powers Kumagoro doesn't detect, though the Ferris wheel rescue and the power demonstration brought them genuinely closer.
    • Kusuke (grandson): proud of his super intellect, which he feels explains a lot about Kusuo; nearly died of happiness when Kusuke moved in, then got furious over the neighbour scheme.
    • Kuniharu (son-in-law): contempt on sight, "pathetic parasite", no known reason, no known cure.
    • Teruhashi Kokomi: believes she is an angel, his chosen candidate for granddaughter-in-law in direct opposition to Kumi.

40. #40Bilocation

    Keys: bilocation, clone, duplicate himself, doppelganger

    Enabled · Order 40

    Kusuo can use this power to duplicate himself, and it is one of his most difficult powers for various reasons: he cannot control how the clones look or act, he needs to remove his limiter to use it, and the clones have all his powers and can feel anything he feels, including the removal of his limiter, so they could cause serious damage if left unchecked. As the original, any damage he suffers is also reflected on the clones.

42. #42Memory Alteration

    Keys: memory alteration, erase memory, alter memory, forget

    Enabled · Order 42

    Delivering a strong impact to someone's head to eliminate the desired memory: a wacky yellow bat resembling TV Tokyo's mascot in the anime, anything causing an impact (a crowbar, for example) in the manga. Memory Supplementation: the drawback. As Kusuo uses restoration on the person's brain, the gap is filled with a random different memory for each person. For example, when he erased Kaidou's memory of learning that Kusuo has trouble making friends because he is a psychic (accidentally revealed by his mother), Kaidou's brain filled the gap with the idea that Kusuo could not make friends due to eighth-grader syndrome, the very trait Kaidou struggles with himself.
