The spirit haunting H castle ruins. During the Azuchi-Momoyama period, a castle was under siege by an enemy army. With the men away fighting a battle elsewhere, the women decided to kill themselves rather than surrender, to prevent being slaughtered and be put on display to damage the men's morale. They stabbed their throats and threw their bodies over a waterfall, which stained the river red for three days and nights. While most of them passed on, a single woman decides to stay behind and, using powers gained from absorbing the mountain's energy, recreate their deaths so that they wouldn't be forgotten by history. A cursed object was placed in the waterfall which made her go berserk and start killing people. Based on the real life Hachioji castle ruins.
----
* ArtifactDomination: Was filled with hatred by a cursed arm being placed in the waterfall.
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Rather than be killed by their enemies and be displayed to their family, they killed themselves and ensured their bodies are not found.
* TheCorruption: Was made evil by a cursed arm.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Her floating arms allows her to attack her enemies from afar for numerous angles at frightening numbers, but lacks the firepower to end a fight against ghosts that are strong enough to withstand it.
* DeathOfAThousandCuts: Can do this by attacking with a great number of floating arms.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Will teleport herself to help Yayoi when she needs it, while Yayoi gives blessed sake to her as an offering.
* EvilMakesYouMonstrous: Her body was nude, shriveled and had a inflated stomach from all the victims she's eaten, but once she became good, it was a normal body covered in a kimono surrounded by lotuses.
* FlyingFace: When she uses her powers, her body projects itself over the surrounding area, leaving behind her head.
* FloatingLimbs: Can create hundreds of floating arms to restrain or attack the enemy.
* FriendlyGhost: Was one before being made evil, beyond showing people a rather traumatic scene of mass suicide. After Yayoi removes the cursed object, she volunteers her help to Yayoi to repay her.
* JustWhistle: Gives Yayoi a silk belt to summon her if she needs her help.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: The spirit of H castle ruins holds on to the bodies of her victims, leading to them being reported missing instead of killed.
* OneManArmy: A literal case. She splits her soul to create clones of her dead comrades, who can fight for her.
* PlaceOfPower: The mountain the ruins are located in, which gave her power to sustain herself without eating other ghosts.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Tried escaping into the forest to wait out the curse of the High Priest, which nearly worked if not for Keitarou's spirit sense tracking her down.
* TouchOfDeath: A downplayed example. Anything touched by her hands receives a cutting wound which slowly cuts into the target until it splits apart.
* UnwillingSuspension: Once she cuts her victims neck, the victim will be pulled into the sky and suspended in the sky where one can barely see them, then are kept there until their necks are sliced off.

One of the only survivors of Yayoi's room after the attack by the unnamed Kami. As a result, the only ghost Yayoi can bring around for self-defense besides the graduates, and helps fight againsts weaker ghosts. Has since changed into a new form after consuming multiple ghosts.
----
* TheBerserker: Attacks like an animal against enemy ghosts.
* TheBigGuy: In terms of size, he's the biggest one in Yayoi's arsenal, but is far from the strongest. Regularly assists in fighting weaker ghosts.
* EatingTheEnemy: His primary way of attacking.
* FlyingFace: He can still fight easily even with only his head remaining.
* GravityMaster: He gained the power to project an arrow that sucks in his opponent, then crush them with intense weight. It's not actual gravity, but the weight of negative feelings from thousands of souls.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Only has the top half of his body.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Even when he only had half his body he was much larger than Yayoi, and in his evolved form Yayoi is smaller than his arms.
* IdentityAmnesia: Yayoi implies that he loss his memories in chapter 22. Has since regained parts of his memories, but not enough to remember his identity.
* ManlyFacialHair: His evolved form grows an unkempt beard.
* MegatonPunch: After he evolved, his physical abilities increased to the point that he can throw a punch strong enough that the resulting air pressure acted like a HandBlast.
* NoNameGiven: The one time his name was shown was obscured out.
* TheSpeechless: It may be because he doesn't have lips, but he never speaks. After he evolved, he speaks sparingly, requesting Yayoi for another chance to battle.
* TheReliableOne: He frequently attacks the ghost on his own accord to protect Yayoi, and has saved Keitarou and Eiko several times.
* RequisiteRoyalRegalia: His new form wears a elaborate Sokutai, clothes worn by Japanese aristocrats, covered in chrysanthemum symbols, the symbol of the Japanese emperor.
* RoarBeforeBeating: He seems to roar loudly every time he attacks after evolving. When he uses his curse, the louder he roared, the stronger it became.
* SkullForAHead: The only thing left of his head is his skull.
* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: Can extract an arrow from a wound on his head.
* TroubledBackstoryFlashback: His arrow shows him a memory of two crying children crying for his help, which drives him so mad that his roar started shaking the cave he was in.

[[caption-width-right:350: Transitional Imperial Spirit]]
One of the only survivors of Yayoi's room after the attack by the unnamed Kami. As a result, the only ghost Yayoi can bring around for self-defense besides the graduates, and helps fight againsts weaker ghosts. Has since changed into a new form after consuming multiple ghosts.
----
* TheBerserker: Attacks like an animal against enemy ghosts.
* TheBigGuy: In terms of size, he's the biggest one in Yayoi's arsenal, but is far from the strongest. Regularly assists in fighting weaker ghosts.
* EatingTheEnemy: His primary way of attacking.
* FlyingFace: He can still fight easily even with only his head remaining.
* GravityMaster: He gained the power to project an arrow that sucks in his opponent, then crush them with intense weight. It's not actual gravity, but the weight of negative feelings from thousands of souls.

* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Even when he only had half his body he was much larger than Yayoi, and in his evolved form Yayoi is smaller than his arms.

* NoNameGiven: The one time his name was shown was obscured out.
* TheSpeechless: It may be because he doesn't have lips, but he never speaks. After he evolved, he speaks sparingly, requesting Yayoi for another chance to battle.

* RequisiteRoyalRegalia: His new form wears a elaborate Sokutai, clothes worn by Japanese aristocrats, covered in chrysanthemum symbols, the symbol of the Japanese emperor.

[[caption-width-right:196:[[labelnote:click here to see her true form]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dg25.JPG[[/labelnote]]]]
The spirit haunting H castle ruins. During the Azuchi-Momoyama period, a castle was under siege by an enemy army. With the men away fighting a battle elsewhere, the women decided to kill themselves rather than surrender, to prevent being slaughtered and be put on display to damage the men's morale. They stabbed their throats and threw their bodies over a waterfall, which stained the river red for three days and nights. While most of them passed on, a single woman decides to stay behind and, using powers gained from absorbing the mountain's energy, recreate their deaths so that they wouldn't be forgotten by history. A cursed object was placed in the waterfall which made her go berserk and start killing people. Based on the real life Hachioji castle ruins.
----
* ArtifactDomination: Was filled with hatred by a cursed arm being placed in the waterfall.
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Rather than be killed by their enemies and be displayed to their family, they killed themselves and ensured their bodies are not found.
* TheCorruption: Was made evil by a cursed arm.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Her floating arms allows her to attack her enemies from afar for numerous angles at frightening numbers, but lacks the firepower to end a fight against ghosts that are strong enough to withstand it.
* DeathOfAThousandCuts: Can do this by attacking with a great number of floating arms.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Will teleport herself to help Yayoi when she needs it, while Yayoi gives blessed sake to her as an offering.
* EvilMakesYouMonstrous: Her body was nude, shriveled and had a inflated stomach from all the victims she's eaten, but once she became good, it was a normal body covered in a kimono surrounded by lotuses.
* FlyingFace: When she uses her powers, her body projects itself over the surrounding area, leaving behind her head.
* FloatingLimbs: Can create hundreds of floating arms to restrain or attack the enemy.
* FriendlyGhost: Was one before being made evil, beyond showing people a rather traumatic scene of mass suicide. After Yayoi removes the cursed object, she volunteers her help to Yayoi to repay her.
* JustWhistle: Gives Yayoi a silk belt to summon her if she needs her help.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: The spirit of H castle ruins holds on to the bodies of her victims, leading to them being reported missing instead of killed.
* OneManArmy: A literal case. She splits her soul to create clones of her dead comrades, who can fight for her.
* PlaceOfPower: The mountain the ruins are located in, which gave her power to sustain herself without eating other ghosts.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Tried escaping into the forest to wait out the curse of the High Priest, which nearly worked if not for Keitarou's spirit sense tracking her down.
* TouchOfDeath: A downplayed example. Anything touched by her hands receives a cutting wound which slowly cuts into the target until it splits apart.
* UnwillingSuspension: Once she cuts her victims neck, the victim will be pulled into the sky and suspended in the sky where one can barely see them, then are kept there until their necks are sliced off.

[[quoteright:316:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dg29.JPG]]
The ghost that haunts the old F tunnel. The tunnel became haunted after a family that owned a teahouse nearby was slaughtered by a robber with an axe, though it's unknown how he is related to that incident. A cruel sadistic serial killer, he tortures his victims and rips of their face to use as a mask. A few of his victims became vengeful ghosts that resented their fate so much they help him capture new victims. He resides in the previous old F tunnel, which is sealed off, along with the ghost of his victims. Based on the old Fukiage tunnel in Ome, Tokyo.
----

The spirit haunting the old I Watergate. He was a normal boy who lived happily with his father. That changed when he got remarried.

She also had an affair with another man, who eventually killed his father when the latter discovered him. To dispose of the corpse, they turned his father's body into meatballs and told the boy to dispose of it. Due to the stepmother starving him, he ate the meatballs, not knowing it was from his father's corpse. Eventually the stepmother killed the man in an argument, while the boy escaped to the watergate. He was caught and murdered by the stepmother, and as his ghost saw his body get turned into meatballs, he understood what he ate.

A ghost that was possessing a mirror that absorbed life energy from those that used it. Yayoi bought it after hearing the rumors and placed it in her room, where it then proceeded to eat all the ghosts inside to become a graduate. When she was alive, she was beautiful and kindhearted woman who sold herself into prostitution to feed her family, given the name Otogiri. She eventually became an Oiran(top ranking courtesan) and was set be bought by a lord, but a courtesan serving under her named Kurenai poisoned his drink and framed Otogiri for it. The lord survived and beat Otogiri until she was disfigured. She was thrown out by the brothel, where her declining health caused her syphilis to progress to later stages. She used up her savings on mercury, believing it would cure her, but to no avail. Eventually Kurenai came and mocked her, telling Otogiri that the lord has bought her instead and showed Otogiri her disfigured face with the mirror that the latter gave to her as a present. Overcame with hatred, Otogiri burned the brothel, Kurenai and herself down.

* ButterflyOfDeathAndRebirth: Her spirit butterflies who suck the life energy of those they touch and give it to Otogiri, which heals her.

* FacialHorror: Her injuries from the lord and the sores from syphilis ruined her face.
* FrameUp: Was framed by Kurenai for poisoning the lord set to buy her.
* GlassCannon: While she has great offensive powers, her body is relatively defenseless, which nearly caused her defeat.
* HighClassCallGirl: Essentially what an Oiran is, barring a few details.
* HealItWithFire: The fire her butterflies produce heals her.

* NothingButSkinAndBones: Eventually anybody inside his formation will become this.
* PeoplePuppet: He is bounded by strings from his formation that forces him to fight.

After the war ended, he lived the rest of his life peacefully. After death, however, his soul reverted back to his appearance when he was a soldier. The ghosts of hundreds of enemy soldiers that he killed was clinging on to him and prevented him from passing on, biting and clawing at him constantly, but due to his regenerative abilities he just heals from it. The soldiers also attacked anybody nearby, be it ghosts or human. The Demon Sergeant suffered from his torment and the danger he brought to innocents that he begged for death. He made a deal with Yayoi where he will assists her, and in exchange she will help him pass on.
----
* BlessedWithSuck: His ghost form is able to regenerate, which means rather than being eaten and pass on, he will suffer from his enemies tormenting him endlessly.
* CavalryOfTheDead: Well, they aren't really an organized force, but the soldier ghosts will attack other ghosts to quench their thirst.
* DeathSeeker: Deliberately provokes enemy ghosts to make them kill him.
* FateWorseThanDeath: He's already dead, but is imprisoned in the mortal world as the ghosts of his enemies cling on to him and torment him, while also harming innocent people around him.
* GeoEffects: Invokes this. When he is summoned, a formation is created on the ground. Anybody in this formation will suffer from the fatigue, starvation and injuries that the Demon Sergeant experienced in WW2.
* HealingFactor: Recovered really fast during his time at war, and as a ghost he can easily heal from being dismembered and eaten.
* HorrorHunger: The soldiers are horribly thirsty and will attack anyone for water.
* ImmortalityField: A downplayed example. Anybody in the formation he creates can't die, but won't heal from injuries and constantly suffer from pain and starvation.
* ImmortalityHurts: The Demon Sergeant and all those caught in his formation will suffer from this.
* NothingButSkinAndBones: Eventually anybody inside his formation will become this.
* PeoplePuppet: He is bounded by strings from his formation that forces him to fight.
* ReluctantWarrior: Not because of pacifism, but because he really wants to die.
* OneManArmy: Even before his death he was a famous soldier who killed hundreds of enemies.
* TheManBehindTheMan: It's implied that the true ghosts responsible for the Demon Sergeant's fate isn't the enemy soldiers, but his dead allies who are possessing him to stay in existence.
* VampiricDraining: The soldiers clinging on to him can suck water out of people they bite.
* WillfullyWeak: The Demon Sergeant's ability was supposed to weaken himself so that he could be killed, but it ended up being projected to anyone within the formation on the ground.
* UnfriendlyFire: The formation expands outward as its powers strengthens, and anybody caught in it will be effected, friend or foe.

A spirit that was born after the ghosts in Yayoi's room cannibalized each other. The High Priest can recite a sutra that sends all those that listens to it to hell. Those who have heard the sutra, before dying, can be made to recite the sutra by the High Priest, so even finding a way to stop him from speaking won't stop the sutra.

* GodzillaThreshold: Highly dangerous ghosts who might bring harm to Yayoi and her team even by accident. They are powerful enough to ignore the substitute dolls and harm Yayoi directly, and most of them want to escape her control, and would attack her if they had the chance. Thus, they can only be used against enemies that she can't defeat by herself.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Each of them have powers that can kill hundreds if they are let loose in a populated area.
