Who Are The New Characters In 'DXD Scarlet Nexus In DXD'?

' and the new characters are a breath of fresh air in the franchise. The standout is definitely Ryuko Himejima, a fiery-haired exorcist with a chip on her shoulder. She’s not your typical holy warrior—her weapon of choice is a chainsaw katana infused with blessed flames, and her attitude is as sharp as the blade. What makes her fascinating is her backstory; she’s the illegitimate daughter of a fallen angel and a human priestess, which gives her this tortured duality. She fights demons but struggles with her own demonic heritage, and the way her powers flicker between holy light and hellfire mid-battle is visually stunning.

Then there’s Kaito Kurogane, a devil contractor with a twist. Instead of summoning demons, he fuses with them, transforming his body into living armor. His design is pure nightmare fuel—imagine jagged obsidian plates and glowing crimson veins—but his personality is oddly chill. He’s the guy who cracks jokes while his arm morphs into a giant claw. The dynamic between him and Ryuko is gold; she hates his guts at first, but their forced partnership leads to some of the best banter in the series.

A lesser-known but intriguing addition is Lilieth Vesper, a vampire alchemist who communicates exclusively through her homunculus familiars. She’s this eerie, silent figure draped in Victorian lace, but her creations do all the talking—literally. One homunculus mimics her dead sister’s voice, another recites spells in Latin, and the third just insults everyone. Her combat style is chaotic; she throws potions that explode into spectral snakes or temporary black holes. The lore hints she’s connected to the original 'DXD’s' Grigori, but the mystery’s still unfolding.

Lastly, don’t sleep on Draven Asmodeus, a renegade devil prince posing as a human rockstar. His guitar solos unleash sonic waves that shatter barriers between dimensions, and his fanbase is unknowingly his energy source. The irony? He’s secretly a pacifist. His arc revolves around sabotaging his family’s war plans by 'accidentally' botching rituals during concerts. The series leans hard into his glam rock aesthetic—think leather pants, glowing tattoos, and a stadium fight where he defeats a hydra by dropping a literal speaker on it. These characters aren’t just new; they redefine what 'DXD’s' universe can be.
