Source-derived summary

The Rave Master manga and anime series features an extensive cast of characters created by Hiro Mashima. The series takes place in a fictional parallel world where humans along with species known as sentenoids and demonoids, fight using weapons, magic, and evil artifacts called Dark Brings (Shadow Stones in the anime's English dub). One of the primary users of Dark Brings is the evil terrorist organization known as Demon Card (Shadow Guard in the anime's English dub) which plans to use them to take over the world and plunge it into darkness.

The main character, Haru Glory, is chosen by the holy artifact known as Rave to wield the Ten Powers and embark on a quest with the strange dog-like creature Plue to find the remaining four Rave stones and end the use of Dark Brings thus bringing peace to the world. During his travels, he allies with a girl who has lost her memories and believes her name is Elie, unaware of her strong connection to the Rave stones. Along their journey, they gain allies known as the Rave Warriors. The Rave Warriors include Hamrio Musica, a thief who can manipulate silver, Griffon Katou, a strange blue creature and cartographer, Let Dahaka and Julia Dragoon, martial artists of the Dragon Race, Ruby, a wealthy penguin-like sentenoid; and Belnika a kind sorceress.

Creation and design

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “List of Rave Master characters” is wikimedia list article. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through List, Rave and Master, not as a finished interpretation.

The current 309-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “wikimedia list article” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1016043. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
