First Appearance: Volume 8 (Manga), Episode 15 (Anime)  Former Rank: #3  Type: Offensive    Dauf was originally his generation&#039;s Claymore #3, surpassed only by Rigaldo and Isley. He is currently Riful&#039;s follower and lover, helping her torture captured Claymores and forcing them to Awaken. Dauf, in his Awakened form, is an immense humanoid with tremendous strength and exceptionally hard armour plating. He can form large rods from his armor (usually from his hands, back, and in his mouth), firing them as projectiles. Riful has stated that she made Dauf her lover because he is the only Yoma who could &quot;accept her without breaking&quot;. However, for all his physical power, Dauf is rather unintelligent and notably poor at tactics. His regeneration and healing abilities are also very slow. In his first appearance, he managed to fight Clare and Galatea to a standstill, as neither could breach his armor. He was defeated when Jeane managed to cut a gaping hole into his chest, nearly killing him. Accordingly, Riful had to intervene to save his life. He is extremely devoted to her and is terrified that she will one day leave him.   ~!He assisted Riful in her fight against Alica, Beth &amp; the Abyss feeders, resulting in the loss of his right hand and legs. He has been infected by projectiles. Priscilla hints that he may of deliberately let himself get hit by Projectiles but despite that forgot the original goal of what he wanted to protect as he throws Riful&#039;s body on the ground like a piece of trash when encountering Priscilla.!~    (Source: Wikipedia)

Freeza is a fictional graphic novel supervillain who first appears in the Dragon Ball manga created by Akira Toriyama. Freeza also appears in the television special Bardock: The Father of Goku; a few Dragon Ball Z movies, and in Dragon Ball GT. He is one of the most powerful major supervillains introduced throughout the Dragon Ball universe. In the gag series Neko Majin Z, it is revealed that he has a son, Kuriza. 

Freeza is introduced in the series as the powerful galactic overlord on a mission for immortality and conquest, ruler of an empire said to control seventy-nine or more planets. Freeza creates armies from the planets that he conquers, his most utilized race were the Saiyans. Freeza had heard about the legend of the Super Saiyan, a being with unrivaled power, but dismissed it as simple mythology; however, after several Saiyans emerged with rapidly evolving potential, Freeza began to fear that the legend would indeed come true, so as a result, destroyed the Saiyan race. His actions and lust for power eventually bring him into conflict with the heroes of the series when he tries to take possession of the wish-granting Dragon Balls on Planet Namek. 

~!Freeza's fears were realized when he was defeated by Goku, who in turn had become a Super Saiyan. His character would return shortly thereafter, having survived the encounter with Goku but having been left with multiple metal prosthetics. Though accompanied to Earth by his father, Freeza is unable to avenge his loss, being killed with relative ease by a newcomer to the series, the half-Saiyan time traveler Trunks. A blood sample taken before his ultimate fate would later become a catalyst for the next arc's featured villain: Cell, a warrior genetically engineered to be perfect. Toei Animation would continue to make use of the character in their anime adaptation, with Freeza making brief cameo appearances during the Boo arc, animated features, and Dragon Ball GT. He is last referenced in the manga as a measure of the strength of the Kaioshin, the supreme lords of the Dragon Ball universe, as "each of whom could have felled Freeza in one blow." In Toriyama's out-of-continuity parody of his earlier work Neko Majin Z, Freeza sends his henchman Vegeta on errand to retrieve his missing son on Earth.!~

Duke Everlue is the main antagonist of the Daybreak arc. A corrupted politician, he holds absolute power and influence over the nearby town of Shirotsume.  Everlue is a conceited and selfish man who declares himself to be highly-cultured and superior to everyone around him. He keeps a massive collection of books to flaunt his avid love for literature, though Lucy refers to him as an enemy of literature for blackmailing novelist Kemu Zaleon into writing a novel with Everlue as the main character. He is also extremely greedy and possessive, deeming anything he owns to be his alone and refuses to give it away or let anyone touch it even if he sees it as worthless.  Everlue has a rather twisted sense of beauty: He views otherwise, unattractive women to be beautiful, and declares ordinary-looking girls such as Lucy to be ugly. As a mage who specializes in Diver magic, he has a tendency to appear anywhere by bursting through the ground. He owned Virgo before Lucy had it.  (Source: Fairy Tail Wikia)

She also saved Sousuke and Tokiwa's lives from Amalgam members on the Jindai High School rooftop and aided in the defusing of the bomb planted on Tokiwa.  She even went as far to perform emergency surgery on Tokiwa after a piece of shrapnel embedded itself inside her diaphragm and then took her to the hospital. Showing further compassion, she also allowed Kaname Chidori to give herself up to Leonard so Sousuke's life would be spared, despite violating her orders. After the events in 'Continue On My Own', she is still helping Mithril, helping Gavin Hunter to complete the construction of ARX-8 Laevatein at the end of the novel 'Burning One Man Force', and has actually helped to transport the completed Laevatein to Sousuke in the progress of 'Get Together and Make My Day'.

He is also known for holding a white fan, on which various Japanese characters are written, with different words each time.

Raven is a General in the Amestrian  Military and one of the elite members of Central High Command in the capital.  ~!General Raven makes his first appearance in Chapter 50 of the manga, while Colonel Roy Mustang contemplates how to go about using the information about King Bradley&#039;s true identity as a Homunculus. At first it appears to Mustang that Raven can be trusted (the General&#039;s jovial nature and complimentary speech putting the nervous Colonel at ease) but when Mustang tests the waters by mentioning a rumor about the F&uuml;hrer being a Homunculus, Raven leads Roy into the Central Command room and repeats the rumor for all (including Bradley himself) to hear, revealing that ALL of Central Command is already entrenched in the malevolent machinations taking place in Amestris at Father&#039;s behest. !~

Kurono Kei is the protagonist of Gantz. 
He is a 10th grader summoned by Gantz, along with [Kato](https://anilist.co/character/3111/Masaru-Katou), after being hit by a subway train in an effort to help a hobo passed out on the tracks. 
Initially Gantz refers to Kurono as "Bitch" and "Loser", though he settles on "Kurono" as the series progresses.

~!Kei constantly shows the ability to improvise and see the bigger picture. He also seems to be a quick thinker in the midst of combat, demonstrating the ability to find his enemies' vulnerable points, quicker than most. He shows excellent use in all of the Gantz equipment, favoring the various guns, while occasionally using the Katana in which he shows great proficiency using. 
In the beginning, he is a rather selfish character who often ends up being the reluctant hero. Unlike the rest, he has sense to take an x-gun home and test it out. In doing so, he figures out that the x-shotgun can lock onto multiple targets and fire at them all at once. 
On his third mission, Kurono starts a relationship with a woman named Sei who she just meet with. Unfortunately, the mission is quite the disaster, and she dies, alongside Kato and all of the others members, leaving Kurono as the sole survivor. 
At one point, Kurono actually enjoys the brutal missions, having a chance to prove his mettle and to use the power Gantz's technology grants him to decimate his foes, as well as to receive the admiration of his team members (such as Sei or Kishimoto). This ceases after the death of Kato, where he becomes frightened of the missions and hesitates to act as recklessly as he had in the past. Another deciding factor in Kurono's decision to prioritize brains over force is his growing attachment to Kojima Tae. He starts to believe that he must come back alive in order to be with her.!~
After the events of Gantz Second Stage:

~!Kurono is forced to go alone in his next mission, as a form of punishment by Gantz for throwing a tantrum and demanding his friends be resurrected. On this mission, his fourth, he manages to kill a large group of winged, child-like looking aliens, but one survives and kills almost all of Kurono's schoolmates as a form of revenge.
Kurono, the more experienced member of the team at the time after the Buddhist Temple mission, is eventually regarded as a hero by the other players who look up to him. He becomes the leader of the team and decides to take up the mantle of Kato's philosophy that everyone should come back alive, wich is ironic considering that Kato had tried to model himself after Kurono's younger self. In order to increase the survival of the Gantz Team members, Kurono holds regular meetings at his apartment where the team discusses missions and practice using the suits. These meetings appear to help greatly during the Oni mission as nearly all of the members survive in spite of the outstanding and powerful number of enemies. At the end of the mission, Kurono requests the revival of Kato and Nishi Joichiro.
After the first mission of Phase 2,Kei is revived by Kato but remembers nothing beyond his choice to leave the game. Receiving the news from Nishi that the world will end in 1 week, Kei spends more time with his girlfriend Tae and is seen at the Tokyo Gantz team meeting with Nishi talking about the "End of the World" in 1 week's time.

As Kurono enjoys and wastes his last days together with Tae, Reika visits his apartment and confesses her love to him, asking to sleep with him. He rejects her saying he can't understand as to why she would have any feelings for him and tells her they are "worlds apart", mentioning that he is just a High school student and she is a celebrity. 

Kurono and the team are sent to Italy where the final battle with the Roman aliens takes place. He and the rest of his team witnesses the amazing power of the Roman statue aliens as they break his and Kato's Gantz Sword with ease. Even with assistance from other Gantz Teams, some of Kurono's team members perish in combat. At the end of the mission, Kurono yells at Gantz for not resurrecting Suzuki after being requested to by Reika. He later calms down and leaves the room with everyone. Unknown to the others, then Reika comes back into the room, and ends up resurrecting a second Kurono instead of Suzuki, although unwillingly. The Kurono "copy" appears with his suit on and an Z-Gun in hand. 

After meeting the original Kurono, the copy decides to live with Reika. The original Kurono stays with Tae but both are separated when a new race of aliens invade and occupy the planet; Tae is abducted in the process. As the original Kurono searches for Tae, the copy assembles with other Gantz members from across the world who wish to save humanity from the aliens. During one of these fights, Reika dies while saving the copy, leaving him with a death wish; he dies when confronting the aliens responsible for the invasion and the Gantz network. The original Kurono manages to save Tae and a large group of humans from the invaders. However, the aliens demand to face Kurono, having labeled him as the strongest fighter on Earth. Kei by this point is skilled enough with the Gantz Sword to fight on par with and even injure the notoriously fast Eeva Gund, most likely the Katasrophe Aliens' greatest warrior. This is a considerable feat, given the fact that Eeva doesn't seem to have been injured by anyone except from Kei.
Kurono accepts the challenge and thanks to Kato and his other allies, he succeeds in defeating the aliens' champion. Following the final fight, Kurono and Kato are received on Earth as heroes.!~

Sakamoto is a former member of the Joi. He is a good-natured man and optimistic to the point of being ridiculous, even in the most dangerous situations. His favorite phrase is "AHAHA! It must be _____". He also has a tendency to misspell names; he calls Gintoki "Kintoki". Gintoki often corrects him, citing that if he were named Kintoki, they would be in some kind of hentai anime (because 'Kin' from 'Kintoki' instead of 'Gin' would make the title 'Kintama', which means 'testicles' instead of 'Gintama', which means 'silver soul').  

Despite his goofy nature, Sakamoto is actually a successful businessman in the galaxy. He believes that business is a way of protecting his country. He has a private, well-equipped defensive business fleet. He believes that sacrifices should be made for the good of the community, which is why he chose to abandon his comrades on Earth to travel into space. Sakamoto is shown to be skilled with a pistol in an anime filler episode.

His name is based on the historical character Sakamoto Ryouma. He speaks in Tosa-ben, much like the inspiration for his character.

Kamui is a member of the Yato Tribe, the son of Umibouzu and older brother of Kagura. His excellent fighting skills helped him become Captain of the 7th Division of Harusame's Thunder Guns, the most powerful combat unit within the Harusame group and Overlord of Yoshiwara. Since defecting from the Harusame, he no longer holds these positions.   Kamui firmly believes that the Yato are to remain on the battlefield and shows his disapproval of Housen staying locked up in Yoshiwara. Because of this belief, he shows no pity towards family or subordinates as a sign of weakness is unacceptable. He tried to revive the abandoned tradition of Yato clan's men killing their own parent to prove their strength, although failed to successfully execute it and only cut his father's arm off.  Despite this, he pays respect to the opponents he kills by sending them off with a smile. He doesn't kill children, and dislikes killing women because they may give birth to strong children.


~!Kamui lived with his parents and his younger sister on Rakuyou when he was young. As a child, he took over his mother Kouka's responsibilities in doing the house chores and taking care of the then infant Kagura when Kouka fell ill.  He also took up the responsibility to protect his mother and younger sister in the absence of his father Umibouzu, who was seldom around as he was travelling around the universe searching for a cure to Kouka's illness.!~
