Meet the characters from Seraph of the End

Yuichiro Hyakuya

Yuichiro is loud, furious, and impossibly stubborn in the best way. He’s basically a walking storm of revenge and loyalty at once—always charging at the enemy, sometimes before he thinks, and somehow he keeps dragging everyone into his orbit. He gets painfully sentimental about tiny traditions (ramen? a forgotten shoelace?) and then screams about justice five minutes later, so yes, very dramatic and surprisingly soft. He leads by gut, not plan, which is thrilling and terrifying, and honestly you can’t help rooting for him even when you want to shake him.

Shinoa Hiragi

Shinoa is sarcastic, stylish, and dangerously good at making you feel both amused and judged at the same time. She teases people like it’s a hobby but is secretly the glue that holds the squad together—cold jokes, warm heart, total contradiction. She’s low-key cultured (throws out classical references like casual insults) and has a sweet tooth or a mysterious hobby with paper dolls? maybe both, I can’t decide. She manipulates situations with a smirk and then pretends she doesn’t care, but she will absolutely go feral for her friends if you cross them.

Yoichi Saotome

Yoichi is the pure, soft heart of the team—the guy who brings tea and moral support and somehow stays brave when it counts. He radiates this gentle kindness and is adorably clumsy, like he might apologize to a chair if it looked offended (probably not canon but feels right). He quietly grows tougher across the chaos, surprising everyone by being more resilient than he seems at first. He’s earnest to a fault and balances fear and duty with this awkward, determined sweetness that makes you want to protect him and let him protect you.

Mikaela Hyakuya

Mikaela is heartbreak in a gorgeous coat—brooding, loyal, and unbearably tragic. He is fiercely protective of Yuu; that loyalty is basically his entire personality engine, sometimes noble and sometimes terrifyingly possessive. He smiles and melts you, then does something cold and you remember he’s been through absolute hell—so yes, hot-and-cold vampire vibes, always. Also, headcanon: he might hoard shiny things or snacks in secret? it’s silly but somehow fits the mood.

Shiho Kimizuki

Shiho is the dependable, quietly funny friend who makes the dark stuff feel a little less crushing. He’s practical, grounded, and has this deadpan humor that lands perfectly at the worst possible moment. Sometimes he’s the group’s amateur gadget guy or photographer (he claims to be a pro, but the photos are suspiciously blurry), which is somehow both useful and adorable. Above all he’s loyal and human—small fears, small jokes, but a backbone when everything goes sideways.

Guren Ichinose

Guren is the gorgeous, morally complicated commander who smiles like a devil and plans like a chess master. He’s cultured (wine, cigars—or wait, does he smoke? choose your canon), and his charisma is basically a tactical advantage. There’s a weary sadness behind his jokes; he carries awful choices with a calm face and makes them look like strategy, which is both magnetic and terrifying. He loves his people fiercely but manipulates things ruthlessly, and I’m convinced he keeps a tiny book of poems he pretends he didn’t write in high school—my favorite dramatic headcanon.
