The list of returning characters is extensive. Besides Asta, Yuno, Noelle, Nacht, and Liebe , the Captains of the Magic Squads will also be featured. However, the main antagonists will be the Dark Triad —Dante, Vanica, and Zenon—accompanied by the powerful demons Lucifero, Megicula, and Beelzebub .
