- 0 - The Fool
- Tohru Adachi: "Difficulty" - While Katsuya counts him as a friend, his interactions with Adachi have been no less than awkward of late, particularly since he told Adachi about what happened in Maboroshi. Little does he understand just what Adachi has done to him in revenge.
- V - The Hierophant
- Ryotaro Dojima: "Perseverance" - Katsuya respects him and his position. Also recruited to head up Department 4.
- VI - The Lovers
- Hikaru Kurosawa: "Stability" - D4's resident psychologist. While Katsuya's first impression of Hikaru was honestly not all that positive (he seemed flighty and frankly silly), that's shifted, thanks to Hikaru's unwavering support for the rest of D4 and Katsuya himself. Katsuya's thought that he needs to speak to Hikaru soon, though.
- IX - The Hermit
- Izo Imaizumi: "Instability" - Not someone Katsuya got on with well to say the least. Is currently in a coma, which is Katsuya's fault.
- X - The Wheel of Fortune
- Ran Itoh: "A Realization" - Prior, just a member of SEES to his awareness of things, but more recently he's become aware that Ran conceals quite a more dangerous edge to her. He discovered she was taking Cint as well, and based on his own experiences, he asked her to stop.
- XI - Strength
- Enoha Koinose: "Complication" - Complicated, to put it mildly. Katsuya struggles a lot with his feelings for her, and recent events have made things even more difficult. Extremely difficult. Yet, despite what he's done, she says she won't abandon him, and whatever he might feel aside, he's grateful for that.
- Jason R. Butler: "Opposites" - One of the few people Katsuya calls a friend, though their friendship is marked by lots of arguing.
- XII - The Hanged Man
- Baofu: "Distance" - To be honest, Katsuya doesn't like this guy very much. He seems to have a talent for getting under his skin. Yet, his talents are hard to deny, and lately, necessity has forced him to trust in the rumormonger's intentions. He owes Baofu a favor.
- XIV - Temperance
- Naomi Suzuno: "Downward Spiral" - He's pretty sure she hates him for what happened to Yisa. This is a problem, because she might be his sister-in-law someday.
- Shion Katsuragi: "Old Wounds" - He trusted Shion and counted her as a friend, but one day, she left and joined the NWO. Worse, he thinks he's starting to understand what she meant.
- XV - The Devil
- Daisuke Itami: "Tension" - A man who sets Katsuya's teeth on edge, but remains a valuable source of information.
- Leigh Anne O'Hara: "Bewilderment" - Katsuya is terrified of her.
- XVI - The Tower
- Mikiya Ryouhara: "Skewed" - Nailed Katsuya to the floor with a sword once. Katsuya doesn't like him for reasons that go way beyond this encounter, most pointedly regarding the way Mikiya has targeted his friends and colleagues, and Mikiya's worldviews and intentions. He is not in fact dead at all, though to judge by their latest (violent) encounter, Mikiya may be instead a sort of 'dead man walking'.
- XVIII - The Moon
- Eien Seida: "Unclear" - While he trusts Eien as well as he can (if remaining somewhat wary of her for her tendency to tease him), he's been worried about her ever since Kyo's SHU.
- Maya Amano: "Positivity" - Someone dear to Tatsuya. That makes her someone he needs to look out for, too.
- Yoko Nakashima: "Dimmed" - After Kyo murdered her parents and caused the both of them to end up in the Midnight Channel, she succumbed to her Shadow. Now unhinged and dangerous, it's all Katsuya can do to ensure that Yoko doesn't hurt anyone and remains safe herself. He intends to restore her, if it's at all possible.
- XIX - The Sun
- Kyo Taimiev: "Violence" - Wants him dead. Quite possibly also wants to destroy the world. The first is Katsuya's fault thanks to the SHU, and the second may also be Katsuya's fault. He murdered Yoko's parents and caused both Katsuya and Yoko to end up in the Midnight Channel. If they met again now...
- Tatsuya Sudou: "Unbalanced" - He is the person who nearly killed Katsuya's brother when he was eight years old. If there's anyone in the world Katsuya despises, it's him.
- Tatsuya Suou: "Inadequate" - The most important person to Katsuya. Things were looking better between them, but... with the revelations about the SHU and Kyo and Yisa, things seem to Katsuya to be just as divisive as before. Katsuya hasn't spoken to Tatsuya since before his own dungeon, a state of affairs that is a mix of what's happened lately and just what came out while in the dungeon. Even if Tatsuya's not aware of any of it, as far as Katsuya knows, he still feels as if he has absolutely let his brother down.
- XX - Judgement
- Hajime Shidou: "Guidance" - A fellow detective, and a good man. He has a young daughter, Mayumi; for that reason, Katsuya hopes to keep Hajime safe.
- Yisa Taimiev: "Misanthropy" - A woman who first declared herself judge, jury, and executioner, and now may just want to destroy humanity. The latter is Katsuya's fault, something he has come to realize more fully as he encounters the now unhinged woman time and again.
