Shinigami

死神様

He is the Grim Reaper himself. He is, by far, the most powerful character in the series. He can be a bit of a joker, but when the time comes, he is all business. His number is 42-42-564 (shini-shini-koroshi), which literally translates to die-die-kill in Japanese. He possesses a special move known as the "Direct Noggin Shinigami Chop" (typically displayed when the Shinigami reveals his hand, a large, flat, four-fingered hand emerging from his robe). This serves as both a joke and a genuine technique. He constantly has to endure Death Scythe's antics regarding Maka or her progress. He appears to adopt a more playful attitude when speaking with his son, Death the Kid (he mentions liking his son's three white stripes). The Shinigami's soul wavelength is so vast that it completely covers Death City.
