- Shuu Ouma (桜満 集 Ōma Shū)
- Voiced by: Yuki Kaji (Japanese), Austin Tindle (English)
- The 17-year old protagonist of Guilty Crown. A socially
awkward person, Shu is a second year high school student and a member of
the school's modern image and video research club. His mother, Haruka,
works for Sephirah Genomics, while his late father, Kurosu, an expert on
the Apocalypse Virus, was killed during the "Lost Christmas" incident.
Shu's involvement in the series begins when he meets Inori Yuzuriha.
After Inori is arrested by the GHQ Anti Bodies, Shu decides to make
amends for not helping her earlier by delivering an item called "Void
Genome" she was transporting to the leader of Funeral Parlor, Gai
Tsutsugami. However upon arrival, a battle between the GHQ and Funeral
Parlor has begun, forcing Shu to escape while protecting the Void
Genome. It is then when he rescues Inori and protects her from a GHQ
Endlave that the "Void Genome" fuses onto his right arm, granting him
the "power of kings", which allows him to extract items from a person's
heart. After that incident, Gai offers Shu to join Funeral Parlor, but
Shu turns down the offer, refusing to join the organization until his
classmate, Yahiro Samukawa, betrays him to the GHQ, forcing him to turn
to Funeral Parlor for help.
- Despite joining them, Shu stays with Funeral Parlor due to Inori,
who he has feelings for, but he resents Gai, who he at first believe was
Inori's lover, due to the fact Gai used his feelings for Inori to make
him join Funeral Parlor and Gai is everything that he is not; smart,
popular and well respected. But upon seeing the real Gai; a man
conflicted to play a ruthless tactical genius and leader, Shu gains a
new respect for Gai and trust his new friends in Funeral Parlor
particularly Ayase. :After getting his name clear from the GHQ, Shu
returns to school with a more open, sociable attitude much to his
friends' notice. At the same time, Inori begins living with him and
their feelings for each other grow as he starts getting flashback of
forgotten memories. While still attending school, he continues helping
Funeral Parlor in their missions. But his new attitude doesn't last long
after Shu fails to save Yahiro's brother Jun as he was forced to kill
him to save Yahiro's life. Traumatized on what he has done, Shu refuses
to join Gai in an important mission to retrieve the meteorite where the
Apocalypse Virus originated before it is transported out of Japan.
- When his friend Hare slaps some sense into him and learns the Anti
Bodies have launched a coup d'état against the GHQ upper echelons by
starting a second Apocalypse outbreak in Tokyo, stole the meteorite and
decimate Funeral Parlor, Shu breaks out of his self-pity and decides to
rescue Inori and his Funeral Parlor allies. With the help of his friends
from school, Shu goes to rescue Inori and Gai from the GHQ and Anti
Bodies and faces the leader of the Anti Bodies, Shuichiro Keido.
- Encountering Yuu, a boy working with Shuichiro who also possess the
"power of kings", Shu finally remembers his forgotten memories. It is
revealed Gai was Shu's childhood friend, nicknamed Triton whom his older
sister Mana rescued ten years ago. Gai looked up to Shu as he was a
brave boy back then. Unknown to Shu or Gai, his sister was the first
person to be infected by the Apocalypse Virus, which slowly drives her
insane, even causing her to develop feelings for her brother.
Gai, who knew the truth, tried to reveal this to Shu on the Christmas
Eve of 2029. However, Mana found out about it and tricked Gai into
shooting himself. Shu then stumbles upon the scene and is asked by Mana
to marry her so that they 'can start a new race together.' Shu,
disturbed and shocked, rejects her offer, calling her a 'monster.' Hurt
at his remark Mana went berserk, causing the virus to take over her body
and spread it all over Tokyo, thus beginning the "Lost Christmas"
incident. Traumatized, Shu repressed these memories. With his memories
regained, Shu rescues Inori from Shuichiro's clutches in his plans to
transplant Mana's soul into her body so he and Mana will spread the
outbreak worldwide and start a new race. However, he is forced to kill
Gai so that his weapon could break the pod containing his sister's soul,
freeing her and ending the outbreak.
- After the outbreak, Shu, Inori and their Funeral Parlor friends
Ayase and Tsugumi stays at Tennouzu High after the school is converted
into a refugee center. However, the area their school is located is
barricaded and lock downed by the Anti Bodies who proceed to exterminate
the civilians inside. Due to uncertainty and despair, Shu replaces
Arisa Kuhouin as the student council president after regaining control
of a chaotic school assembly. After becoming student council president,
he rules the school with dignity and respect and refuses Yahiro's
suggestion to implement a Void-ranking system which determines how much
vaccine and care someone receives, believing that it will lead to
discrimination between the students. But when Hare is killed during an
attempt by Souta to find vaccines from a nearby hospital, Shu becomes
maddened with grief and implements the ranking system. After the
successful take down of the Tokyo Tower and the Ghost Team, Shu was
betrayed by Arisa Kuhouin and his fellow students. The resurrected Gai
then appears and slices off Shu's right arm, transferring the "power of
the kings" from Shu to Gai. Subsequently, Shu slipped into a bout of
extreme depression, horrified at his own actions. When Inori sacrificed
herself to protect Shu, he came to terms with his actions, and became
determined to save her. He then took Arisa hostage in order to have her
lead him to Inori. While driving, he gets news that Haruka is on the
run, and possesses the third Void Genome. Arisa takes him to the
building where she, the remaining members of Funeral Parlor, and Shu's
friends are hiding. Shu arrives shortly after Segai begins an assault to
take the Void Genome for himself. Before Ayase attempts to use the Void
Genome on herself at great risk, Shu finds it and injects himself with
it. With the Power of Kings returned to him, Shu pulls out his own Void,
which manifests as a new right arm made entirely of Apocalypse crystal,
replacing the one Gai severed. With their permission, he uses Ayase's,
Souta's, and Yahiro's Voids, now memorized by his Void, to save them
from Segai. The battle culminates in him using Yahiro's Void shears to
sever Segai's life. Despite his new-found abilities, as a side-effect,
Shu is infected with the Apocalypse virus while retrieving Souta's Void -
immediately curing the terminal Souta. Shu makes the decision to use
the Power of Kings to save Inori and stop Gai.
- Shu acquired his powers from the "Void Genome". His power is to
extract "Voids", genetic physical objects formed of the personality of
anyone younger than 17. After regaining his lost memories, his powers
evolved, allowing him to extract Voids from people while they still
retained consciousness. He briefly lost his powers when Gai stole it,
but regained them upon injecting himself with another "Void Genome". His
Void can absorb other Voids into his own, allowing him to use its
powers indefinitely. It manifests itself as an arm made entirely of
Apocalypse Crystal, replacing the arm Gai severed off when he stole his
powers. His void is a double-edged sword, however, as he also takes any
adverse effects that the Void user has, such as the Apocalypse Cancer,
and if by any reason Shu dies, all owners of the voids he obtained
should perish as well. After defeating Gai, Shu tries to take all the
Apocalypse Virus into himself, but Inori takes it instead, sacrificing
herself. At the end, Shu is seen celebrating Hare's birthday with the
others, and is presumably blind (he uses a white cane). He has a prosthetic limb and no longer has the Apocalypse Virus.

- The main heroine of Guilty Crown, is the stoic 17-year old
vocalist of the group Egoist. She is also a member of the "Funeral
Parlor" resistance group and her Void is a sword. She becomes Shu's
partner and as the series progresses, begins to show different types of
emotions, eventually falling in love with him. She's later revealed to
be created by Da'ath to become the vessel of Mana, and in episode 12,
she was captured to complete Mana's rebirth, but was then saved by Shu.
Afterwards, however, she starts expressing more erratic behavior,
cumulating with her killing two other students and stabbing Arisa
through the hand. She is later captured by the resurrected Gai and
Da'ath as she tries to protect Shu.
- Inori's Void is a heavy sword that resembles a bisento,
which can be combined with other Voids for different effects. When
extracted by Yuu, it takes a more wing-like shape. In Episode 18, she
also demonstrates the ability to turn into a "monster" mode, where a
pair of blades extend from her arms and she gains increased strength and
speed. In episode 21 Inori is consumed and reborn as Mana. In the final
episode, when Shu tries to take in all of the Apocalypse Virus into
himself, Inori takes it instead, sacrificing herself so that Shu can
live on.

- Voiced by: Yuichi Nakamura (Japanese), Micah Solusod (English)

Parlor" resistance group. He hopes to push the revolution to success
with the help of Shu's "power of kings". A charming and yet manipulative
man, he leads Funeral Parlor as a fearless leaders who expects the best
from his subordinates and not to disappoint him. At beginning of the

However, a battle between the Anti Bodies and Funeral Parlor leads to
Shu to gain that power instead. Nevertheless, he tries to make Shu join
his organization which he succeed after using his feelings for Inori and
after he was arrested by the GHQ.
- Shu at first holds animosity at Gai for manipulating him into
joining Funeral Parlor using Inori (not making things any better is that
Inori is rumored to be Gai's lover as well.) and he is everything Shu
is not; smart, popular and well respected. But upon seeing the real Gai;
a man conflicted to play a ruthless tactical genius and leader, Shu
gains a new respect for Gai and helps him in their missions. But after
Shu refuses to join them for an important mission after Shu is
traumatize over killing Yahiro's brother, Gai abandons him to continue
the mission; steal the meteorite where the Apocalypse Virus originated
from the GHQ. However, the mission fails when Shuichiro and the Anti
Bodies starts a second Apocalypse outbreak over Tokyo and proceeds to
eliminate both the upper echelons of GHQ and Funeral Parlor. While Gai
and several members survive, Gai's Apocalypse infections starts to
reemerge. A determined Shu arrives to help him from the Anti Bodies and
joins Shu to rescue Inori from the clutches of Shuichiro.
- Gai later reveals to Shu that he is in fact his childhood friend
"Triton". Ten years ago, he was saved by Shu and Mana from drowning at a
shore. Nicknamed "Triton" by Mana, Gai and the Ouma siblings became
close friends and spent a summer together where he admired Shu for his
confidence and fell in love with Mana for saving him. He eventually
discovers Mana's insanity and tries to warn Shu about it, but is tricked
by Mana into shooting himself in a church. After the Lost Christmas
incident, he leaves Shu to make himself stronger, eventually becoming
the leader of Funeral Parlor.
- After helping Shu rescue Inori, Gai goes to free Mana's soul from
the pod containing it. However, the crystals protecting the pod stab
him. Close to death and and pinned to Mana's pod, Gai requests Shu to
stab him through the heart at the same time, in order to break the pod
and free Mana's soul. He seemingly dies embracing Mana, finally reunited
with his lost love.
- At the end of episode 16, Gai was resurrected by Ouma Haruka. He
then reappears at episode 17, in which he slashed Shu's right arm with
Inori's void, transferring the "power of kings" from Shu's severed arm
to himself. His goal is to resurrect Mana, and shows disregard for human
lives after he is resurrected. However, after Shu defeated him, he
revealed that his reason is actually to free Mana from her role as Eve,
so she won't resurrect herself again and believed that Shu will stop
them eventually. He is last seen presumedly in Shu's mind, embracing
Mana and dies with her, this time for good.
- Gai has the ability to see people's Voids due to being infected with
the Apocalypse Virus. To prevent the virus from crystallizing his body,
he has a blood transfusion with Inori, as her blood can fight off the
infection. To prevent anyone in Funeral Parlor from knowing, he has
Inori visit his room during their blood transfusions, fooling everyone
into believing that he and Inori are lovers. His Void is a gun that
forces out other people's Voids, though it can also be used as a regular
gun.
