Gauche Adlai
A user of mirror magic who dotes on his younger sister, Marie. The INTP (Logician) traits of analytical ability and unique values are evident in his fighting style and his abnormal affection for his sister. The gap between his INTP-like eccentricity and the calm judgment he shows in battle is his charm.
Reo Mikage
A trapping genius of rare talent, Genkaku Mikage is a classic "Logician" (INTP) who unleashes his exceptional intellect on the pitch. With Introverted Thinking (Ti) as his dominant function, he instantly analyzes the structure of the game with pure logic, devoid of emotion, to predict his opponents' moves. His play is built on meticulous calculations, like a game of chess. The INTP's characteristic curiosity and perfectionism drive him to constantly seek the perfect "trap." While having a lone-wolf side, he shows a unique attachment to certain teammates, especially Seishiro Nagi, whose talent serves as the ultimate research subject and a device to embody his own logic.

She has a peculiar sense of money and is always broke, but her passion for music is genuine. Her INTP-like eccentricity and occasional profound words are her charm.
Jin
As the eldest member of BTS, Jin is the beloved mood-maker, "Worldwide Handsome." Beneath his bright exterior lies the sharp, logical mind of an INTP (Logician). He masterfully uses his Introverted Thinking (Ti) to analyze situations and lighten the mood with unexpected jokes. This INTP trait, combined with his sense of responsibility, allows him to be both a caring and firm guide for his members. His high self-esteem, playfully expressed as "Jin-ism," and his stable vocals make him a spiritual and performative anchor for the group.

He is the embodiment of pure intellect and the relentless pursuit of truth.
Conan Edogawa
While he looks like a first-grader, he possesses the mind of high school detective Shinichi Kudo. Strongly reflecting the INTP (Logician) MBTI type, his intellectual curiosity and logical thinking are unparalleled. Always calm and collected, he solves complex cases based on objective facts and evidence, unswayed by emotion.

This double life, a necessity for the introverted INTP to be understood, creates his greatest charm and conflict.

This dramatic change, culminating in self-sacrificial love, makes him one of the series' most profound and tragic characters.
