< Hell Teacher Nube
Hell Teacher Nube/Characters
Main Characters
Meisuke Nueno ("Nube")
- Badass Teacher
- Big Ol' Eyebrows
- Body Horror: His left hand in itself. Specially when he loses control of it and Baki's powers almost consumes him. Hiroshi, Kyouko and Tamamo have to Time Travel to save him.
- Catch Phrase: "LEAVE MY STUDENTS ALOOOOOOONE!"
- Chivalrous Pervert: He lusts over Ritsuko and more than one pretty lady, but never over his students and women younger than he is. In fact, he rejects Yukime's affections because of their nine-years age difference, and lectures Izuna when he thinks she's into Enjo Kosai. And while he's undeniably attracted to good-looking women, he keeps himself firmly in check and upholds his devotion to Ritsuko or to Yukime, when they finally become a couple, and he all but stops ogling women after that point.
- Determinator
- Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": No one but Minako-sensei and his Disappeared Dad call him "Meisuke". Everyone refers to him as either "Nueno-sensei" or "Nuubee".
- Fujiko Takimoto (as a child)
- Hot-Blooded
- Parental Abandonment: His mother died when he was young. His father's disillusionment with people (he was the resident exorcist and helped everyone with generosity; they refused to help when his wife fell ill) caused him to grow cold and hardened and he abandoned his son while he sought fame and power.
- Perpetual Poverty: To the point he was actually haunted by Binbougami, the god of poverty.
- RedLeftHand: And it's actually red --oni look, on the surface, like muscle tissue and grayish purple sinew.
- Ryotaro Okiayu (as an adult)
- Sealed Evil in a Can: He's the can for Baki, the outrageously powerful and evil Oni who eats human souls for kicks.
- Weirdness Magnet
Hiroshi Tateno
- Book Dumb: Even takes pride on it!
- Expy: Of another Hiroshi.
- Hot-Blooded
- Idiot Hero
- Missing Mom: She died when he was five.
- Parents as People: His Hot Dad is almost never seen since he works as a truck driver and often has to go outside Tokyo, but Hiroshi does care for him.
- Toshiko Fujita
Kyoko Inaba
- A-Cup Angst: Well, when you have Miki as your schoolgirl rival and close friend...
- Balloon Belly
- Expy: Of another Kyouko.
- Fiery Redhead
- Girlish Pigtails
- Plucky Girl
- Tomboy
- Tsundere
Miki Hosokawa
- All Love Is Unrequited: She seems to have a very slight crush on Hiroshi, but it's rarely invoked.
- Balloon Belly
- Cursed with Awesome: Playing around with astral projection turned her into a bona fide Rokurokubi: the "long-necked woman." While it frightened the hell out of her and her classmates when it first manifested (she feared Nube would kill her) now she thinks it's cool and has learned to use it to her advantage, from playing pranks on people to extending her neck across town which saved her life once, extending her neck so far into the air she couldn't hear the instant-kill cry of the mandragora.
- Dumb Blonde: Less about being Book Dumb and more about her amazing lack of common sense.
- Expy: Of another Miki, though more In Name Only

- Older Than They Look: He's the same age as everyone in his class, but he looks (and often acts) like a pre-schooler.
Noriko "Noro-chan" Nakajima
- Cute Bookworm: As booksmart as she's nice. A plot point later.
- Machiko Toyoshima
- Rose-Haired Girl
