Kurumi Tokisaki (one of her clone)

Appearance

Kurumi is "a girl with astonishing beauty" as described by Shido Itsuka. She appears to be elegant and has very polite manners. She has pearly skin and long, black hair usually tied in long twin tails. Her right eye is red-tinted while her left eye appears as a golden, inorganic clock face, which is covered by her bangs and only revealed when she transforms into her Spirit form. When the hands of the clock eye are not in motion, it typically rests in the 3 o'clock position. Five years ago, Kurumi once wore an eyepatch to conceal her clock-like left eye, though she now considers it shameful and covers the eye with her hair instead. As a human, and after being sealed, her left eye is identical to her right. As a college student, she begins to wear earrings. Her hair is now partially tied back with a red ribbon, no longer covering her left eye. Kurumi's Astral Dress is made out of crimson and black frills, giving her the appearance of an elegant Gothic Lolita with uneven twin tails that emulate the minute and hour hand of a clock.[5] On her head, she usually wears a big crimson net bow to hold her hair. She also wears a red and black collar on her neck. After absorbing Nia's Sephira Crystal, her Astral Dress gains several crosses reminiscent of Nia's nun-like Astral Dress. Kurumi's height is stated to be 157cm, and her three sizes are B85/W59/H87. When not in her Spirit form, Kurumi usually tends to wear either the female winter uniform of Raizen High School or a monotone black Gothic Lolita dress.

Personality

Kurumi is the type of person whose character is difficult to read. She possesses a dislike of humanity that borders on mistrust, which is something that she shares with most of the other Spirits in her debut. She is a skilled actress as she is capable of putting on the façade of an innocent, curious young girl when she needs to. This skill of hers is shown when she registers as a student at Raizen High School and speaks in a polite manner. However, under that mask lies a madwoman, prone to fits of insane laughter and possessing no regard for human life, viewing them as a food source to restore her own time, and thus, a disposable commodity. There is a twisted justice behind her methods, however, as the people that she brutally murdered were would-be rapists and animal abusers. Also, a good sign of her sense of justice lies in her ultimate objective: to go back in time, kill the First Spirit, prevent the Spacequakes from ever happening, and save millions of lives in the process. This goal made <Phantom> call her a kind person, albeit sarcastically. In hindsight, Kurumi possesses some degree of innocence that her psychotic behavior has not entirely ruined; she has a soft spot for small animals and other creatures. She once slaughtered four humans not because she needed to replenish her time, but because they were trying to kill a kitten. She also appeared to have some desire for a normal life, a chance at redemption, as Shido was able to speak with one of her many timelines and nearly convinced her before the true Kurumi interrupted.

However, despite her redeeming qualities of not killing without a reason, Kurumi doesn't think of herself as a great person and even appears to hate being called one. When Shido stated that he would not give up on her despite her being a murderer, she responded by using her City of Devouring Time on the students of Raizen High School. She even summoned a Spacequake, which could have killed them all, in an attempt to make him give up on her. Also, when <Phantom> called her a kind person, Kurumi's initial response was to try to shoot her. Her ability to summon clones of herself from her past adds even more complexity to her character. The clones are essentially herself, which means they have the same personality. However, they also have free will to an extent, even if they share memories, goals, fears, and obsessions. Due to being made from the past, the clones may contain traits that Kurumi no longer possesses, namely her old chunnibyou habits. Kurumi has shown a degree of embarrassment regarding this part of her past and those clones in particular whenever it is brought up. Kurumi appears to have a particular fondness for cats, as shown by her brutally murdering a group of men who were shooting at one with pellet guns. In an Omake, it is shown that she can be quite embarrassed about this. When Shido and Tohka caught her, she ended up going so far as to have one of her clones pretend to be the real her and "dispose" of her so that she could get out of the situation without ruining her reputation.

Before becoming a Spirit, Kurumi had a strong sense of justice. While lamenting about the inequality in the world, she always possessed a strong desire to help those in need. This trait was considered both pure and naïve, the latter of which Mio took advantage of to trick her into becoming a Spirit that hunted down other Spirits that were incompatible with their Sephira Crystals. After becoming more jaded, Kurumi is shown as having developed a stronger tolerance towards despair, being the only Spirit to not immediately inverse after seeing Shido killed throughout her numerous time loops.

Background

Kurumi was once an ordinary human before becoming a Spirit. She grew up as the daughter of a rich family and was beloved by her parents. However, one day while returning home she was attacked by a monster. She was saved when a girl wearing a dress made of light killed the monster. The girl introduced herself as Mio Takamiya and claimed herself to be an "ally of justice". She told Kurumi that the monster was called a Spirit and asked her if she wanted a power like hers to help her fight them. Wanting to protect her family and friends, Kurumi accepted the offer and was given the Sephira Crystal containing Zafkiel. Afterward, she bonded with it, unknowingly turning herself into a Spirit. Working together with Mio, Kurumi began hunting down Spirits, with her killing at least over 50 Spirits during that time. However, one day after killing a Spirit, Kurumi left Mio with the usual task of cleaning up the body. However, after leaving like usual, this time she decided to turn back and invite Mio to come with her to her friend Sawa's house, hoping that an adorable cat could defrost Mio's usual melancholic demeanor. However, to Kurumi's horror, instead of a monster lying on the ground, she found her best friend Sawa lying dead as Mio was holding a red Sephira Crystal. Realizing Sawa was the Spirit and she had killed her, Kurumi started to inverse. However, before the transformation was complete, she used her Fourth Bullet Dalet to reverse time and prevent the transformation by returning to a moment before being overwhelmed by despair.

Mio then revealed the truth: both her identity as the First Spirit and how she was having the Sephira Crystals bond with humans, turning them into monsters, and then killing the host in order to slowly refine the Crystals. Mio claimed that she intended to entrust the Sephira Crystals to those chosen among humanity, but hesitated when she was asked about her motives. Then, Mio thanked Kurumi for all her work so far before causing Kurumi to blackout. After some unknown amount of time had passed, Kurumi woke up in a giant crater after causing a Spacequake, with no recollection of anything except how the powers of her Angel worked. Just as an AST team was preparing to attack her, Kurumi fled the scene by escaping into her shadow. While deliberately her current situation, she eventually resolved to use the Tenth Bullet Yud on herself to regain her memories. Afterward, Kurumi swore to use her Twelfth Bullet Yud Bet to travel back in time in order to kill Mio and prevent the existence of Spirits from ever happening. At some point, using her ability to make clones of herself, Kurumi had created a massive information network. In order to gain enough time to use the Twelfth Bullet, she and her clones began to prey on humans, taking many lives in the process. However, the many lives she had taken attracted the attention of DEM, who sent Mana Takamiya after her. They fought many battles, during which Mana had always killed her. However, unbeknownst to Mana, she was just killing Kurumi's clones. Much later, <Phantom> appeared before Kurumi at some unknown point in time and told her about Shido Itsuka, along with the Reiryoku sealed inside his body. Having nothing to lose, Kurumi infiltrated Raizen High School through unknown means to confirm if this story was true.

Summary

Mana Takamiya reported that Kurumi Tokisaki is the most dangerous Spirit ever known. She has killed over 10,000 people, with an estimate of only around 100 being Spacequake victims. As such, her title as the Worst Spirit comes from personally killing her victims with her own hands. Kurumi Tokisaki had used unstated and unexplained methods to personally transfer into Shido Itsuka's class so that she could get closer to him. Her purpose and reason for moving were simple: consume Shido Itsuka, and in doing so, gain the Reiryoku sealed within his body. During the time Kurumi was a Raizen High School student, she almost succeeded in consuming Shido. However, she was forced to retreat after being overwhelmed by Kotori Itsuka's destructive might. Kurumi had claimed that it was because she simply wasn't prepared to face her, but later argued that she could defeat Kotori if she had more time stored up. Later, it was revealed (at the end of Volume 4) that Kurumi had a conversation with a mysterious being that made it seem like she was talking to herself. Here, she stated her real goal was to seek Shido out in order to be able to use her Twelfth Bullet Yud Bet to travel 30 years back in time and kill the First Spirit. To accomplish that, she required a significant amount of Reiryoku which she didn't possess, which is why she wanted to consume Shido. Shido held the Reiryoku of three Spirits within him, enough for her to be able to use the Twelfth Bullet and still have some power left over to kill the First Spirit.
