-themed monsters born from Gates, humans with magical potential who experience true hopelessness. As they possess individual personalities, some seek to turn more Gates into Phantoms on the orders of their leader Wiseman while others pursue their own desires. Additionally, some Phantoms embody the dark aspects of their Gate's personality and as such, either behave in an opposite manner or retain their original personality. Along with unique individual abilities, Phantoms can also assume the form of the human they were spawned from.


Medusa

is a cruel and calculating Phantom born from high school student , who was among the people that Sou Fueki abducted for his first Sabbath. She displays undying loyalty to Wiseman and takes great offense to any Phantom who refuses to carry out their mission, even going so far as to execute them. She also rarely takes part in combat unless she deems it necessary or is forced to. While attempting to infiltrate a high school and target a student named Takako, Medusa learns of her original self's twin sister Mayu Inamori and attempts to create a Phantom from her instead, only to contribute to Mayu becoming a witch and develop a rivalry with her.

is a Phantom born from florist assistant , who was among the people that Fueki abducted for his first Sabbath.

Due to Haruto Soma's interference, Phoenix convinces Wiseman to let him stop the wizard, only to be defeated and vow revenge. Phoenix goes on to battle Soma several times until Wiseman forbids him from doing so due to his constant losses against Soma. In response, Phoenix attacks drunkards in his human form, attracts Rinko Daimon's attention, and befriends her since she only knew of him in his Phantom form. After she suggests he act on his own whim, he enlists Sora Takigawa to help him settle his rivalry with Soma. During their final battle, the wizard sends Phoenix hurtling into the sun, which traps the Phantom in an endless loop of dying and resurrection that consumes his mana before he can fully regenerate.

While Takigawa was turned into the Phantom , he retained his original personality, acts on his own whims, and refers to most Phantoms by their Gates' names. Motivated by a desire to fight Haruto Soma at his full power and to know Wiseman's full plan, Takigawa secretly provides Soma with additional magic stones through his allies and assists Phoenix in his final battle with Soma before taking Phoenix's place as an observer for other Phantoms to get closer to Wiseman. After gaining Wiseman's trust, Takigawa becomes his right hand. Takigawa eventually reveals his unique nature to Soma in an attempt to convince him of their similarities but is disappointed when Soma discovers his history as a human. Following this, Takigawa attempts to make himself human again by planting the idea of investigating Sou Fueki into Soma's mind and making several attempts to kidnap Koyomi to retrieve the Philosopher's Stone from her body. When Kosuke Nito foils Fueki's second Sabbath, Takigawa tricks the latter into weakening himself before killing him to extract the Philosopher's Stone from Koyomi and absorb it. However, he inadvertently evolves his Phantom form and resolves to amass more magical energy through senseless death and destruction, leading Haruto to confirm that Takigawa had since abandoned his humanity prior to the Sabbath.
