Alili

Biodata

Power Progression

Appearance

• Build: Approximately six feet tall and burly, with a fleshy face and an initially menacing expression 2 4 8.
• During the church incident: His eyes became crimson with strange patterns matching the black gorilla’s, while his face remained expressionless 16.
• After joining Shadow Skull: Wore a hooded black robe. His face was deathly pale, and his sinister smile and unfamiliar aura contrasted with the man Chiba remembered 50.
• Demon-altered arm: A thick, pitch-black, monstrous right arm was concealed beneath bandages 51.
• During his battle with Chiba: Tore open his shirt to reveal a lean, muscular body covered in conspicuous scars 52.
• After his later transformation: Wore gray and carried a broadsword at his waist. His left hand was wrapped in white bandages, and a long scar beneath the corner of his eye gave his face a sinister appearance 112.

Personality

Alili initially bullied weaker villagers but became submissive when confronted by someone stronger. After Chiba defeated him twice, he bowed, called him “boss,” and punished his own subordinate for insulting him. His fear also developed into admiration: he knelt before Chiba and earnestly asked to learn magic 8 9.

Despite his poor aptitude, Alili approached training with enthusiasm and persistence. Chiba found him unusually well-behaved during instruction and later noted that Alili had worked even harder than he had at learning Taijutsu 14 15 18.

His attachment to Bobbit survived his cousin’s attempt to kill him. Bobbit’s death left him inconsolable and withdrawn. When he next encountered Chiba, his former deference had become bitter mockery, and he openly expressed a desire to kill him 17 19 50.

After joining Shadow Skull, Alili came to believe that strength determined whose wishes prevailed. He resented Chiba’s power over Bobbit’s fate and challenged what he saw as a contradiction in Chiba protecting Ultear while killing his cousin. During their battle, he declared that killing Chiba was his reason for living 51.

At their later meeting, Alili greeted Chiba without his former open hostility and let him and Tianna go. His reasons remained unclear; a woman at Shadow Skull’s base questioned whether revenge had truly been the reason for his efforts 112 113.

History

Village Gang Leader

Alili was a notorious village bully whose standing commanded deference from most residents except the village chief and priest. His gang collected protection money, while he demanded thirty thousand J on a loan of ten thousand J to Mira’s household 4 8.

He first appeared unconscious in Mira’s home, where Elfman carried him away. During a later debt-collection attempt, Chiba defeated Alili and more than twenty followers, then forced him to allow three months for repayment 2 4.

When his men subsequently tried to extort money at the smithy, Alili arrived prepared for a confrontation but immediately backed down upon recognizing Chiba. Chiba repaid the debt, rejected Alili’s attempt to waive it, and warned him against further harassment of the blacksmith. Alili then knelt and asked to become his lackey 8.

Seeking Magic

Alili asked Chiba to teach him magic so that he could become a wizard. Chiba questioned whether he would simply use power to commit further wrongdoing and told him to return after discovering what pursuing power meant to him 9.

He later alerted Chiba that newly arrived mages had detained Mira in the village. In gratitude, Chiba promised him instruction if Mira was unharmed. The arrangement initially involved Hodrian’s books, followed by Chiba’s daily Taijutsu demonstrations 11 14 15.

Alili also supplied information from Bobbit about the monster behind the church and the hired mages’ failed attempts to eliminate it. At Chiba’s request, he guided him to the church and remained there while Chiba climbed the mountain 14 15.

Bobbit’s Death

While Chiba was away, Alili stood beside Bobbit in a puppet-like state with patterned crimson eyes. He regained awareness after Chiba returned to rescue Mira from the priest’s demon offering 16.

Bobbit immediately attacked Alili with dark magic, but Chiba shielded him. Although Alili understood that his cousin had tried to kill him and had harmed Mira, he still could not bear the thought of losing his only family 17.

Chiba fatally burned Bobbit during their battle. Alili rushed to support his dying cousin, who claimed that he had wanted to send Alili to the “divine realm” first. Bobbit died in his arms, leaving him sobbing. Before departing, Chiba offered to wait until Alili became strong enough to seek revenge 17.

Alili stopped attending training afterward and shut himself inside his home, unable to overcome his grief 18 19.

Return with Shadow Skull

A few months later, Alili reappeared leading a three-person Shadow Skull group that intercepted Chiba, Ultear, and Wendy. He announced that he would settle an old score with Chiba before killing Ultear 50.

Alili mocked Chiba’s association with a dark guild mage, questioned what had happened to Mira, and accused him of never considering him a friend. He then attacked with black magic that spread onto Chiba’s arm through contact. Chiba repelled him with Chakra, but recognized that his former student now possessed magic power slightly greater than Manli’s 50.

Alili revealed that Shadow Skull had taken over his village after Chiba’s departure and killed its inhabitants. Unwilling to die, he survived the guild’s implantation of demon factors and joined it. He also revealed his monstrous right arm and said that, despite his ordinary talent, his awakened magic and the demon factors had brought him to A-Class 51.

As they fought, Alili accused Chiba of applying different standards to Bobbit and Ultear. Chiba explained that he had killed Bobbit for threatening Mira and that Ultear had saved him after he fell from a cliff. He apologized for the village’s fate and promised to try to save Alili, but said he would kill him himself if he could not 51.

Alili interrupted Chiba’s Hand Seals with fast magic and exploited his hesitation. Chiba adapted with quicker techniques and struck him with Fire Dragon Flame Bullet. Alili survived and counterattacked with Shadow Thirty-Six Forms, cracking Chiba’s Lava Armor, but Chiba defeated him in a contest of the same technique. Chiba then buried Alili with Earth Release and engulfed him and his two companions in lava 51 52.

Reappearance in the War

Alili vanished after his defeat and did not appear during the Flames of Life and Death incident. Chiba and his companions later sought information about Alili’s transformation while investigating Shadow Skull 78 112.

Alili reappeared in the snow as Chiba and Tianna considered destroying a group of puppets. Warning Tianna not to touch them, he drew his broadsword and moved too quickly for Chiba to stop him, placing the blade at her throat. He retrieved something from Kruse’s corpse and led nearly three hundred puppets away, telling Chiba that he was still an ant before a real war 112.

At Shadow Skull’s underground base in Dragon Corpse Valley, Alili met a woman who teased him for letting Chiba go. He attributed the events leading to Kruse’s and Rina’s deaths to her remark about capturing Chiba, though she denied having ordered them to do so. Alili said he worked with her because he owed her a favor 112 113.

They discussed an approaching awakening and a plan. Alili maintained that Shadow Skull would suffer total defeat in an all-out war after the loss of the Flames of Life and Death, and warned the woman to be careful of a powerful figure in the northern nations. He distinguished her plan from his own undisclosed intentions 113.

Abilities & Skills

Dark Magic

Alili wielded black magic after joining Shadow Skull. His fellow guild members identified his awakened magic as Evil Spirit magic; he also survived implantation with demon factors 50 51.

• Gathered a torrent of dark magic in his hand for a close-range attack.
• Spread that magic onto Chiba’s arm upon contact.
• Was repelled when Chiba enveloped himself in Chakra and countered with a palm strike 50.
• Used dark magic from his monstrous right arm against Chiba’s Lava Armor; the magic ate at the armor but was burned away by the lava.
• Interrupted Chiba’s Hand Seals with rapid magic and launched a large ball of dark energy at him 51.
• The full effects of his magic were not revealed.

Taijutsu

Alili received instruction in Shadow Flame Splits the Heavens from Chiba 15.

• Studied its first thirty-six forms through repeated demonstrations.
• Learned how to exert force during physical attacks.
• Trained diligently, but no mastery of a complete stage was documented 15 18.
• Used Shadow Thirty-Six Forms against Chiba, moving rapidly enough to leave afterimages and landing increasingly fast, powerful kicks that cracked Lava Armor. Chiba nevertheless gained the advantage when they contested the same technique 52.

Body Tempering

Hodrian taught Alili his body-tempering method, later identified as the Hel Body Tempering Method 14 18.

• No completed tempering stage was confirmed for Alili.
• His later increase in magic power was attributed by Alili to awakening his magic and receiving demon factors, not explicitly to body-tempering training 51.

Durability and Swordsmanship

• Survived a direct hit from Chiba’s Fire Dragon Flame Bullet, though the attack blackened his chest and made him cough up blood 52.
• After his later transformation, drew and positioned his broadsword against Tianna so quickly that Chiba could barely follow the movement with his Sharingan 112.

Puppet Control

Alili retrieved an unidentified object from Kruse’s corpse, after which nearly three hundred puppets moved and followed him. The object’s nature and the precise method of control were not explained 112.

Relationships

• Chiba Uchiha — Initially his opponent, then his admired prospective boss and Taijutsu instructor. Chiba protected him from Bobbit and later called him a former friend; Alili returned as an enemy who believed Chiba had treated him with contempt. After Chiba defeated him, Alili reappeared stronger and let him go, though his reasons were unclear 8 15 17 50 52 112.
• Father Bobbit — His older cousin and only family. Bobbit had cared for him since childhood and had not abandoned him despite his criminal behavior. Alili mourned him even after Bobbit attempted to kill him 17.
• Hodrian — Provided books and body-tempering instruction, but judged Alili’s magical talent too poor to select a suitable spell for him 14 15.
• Mira — A member of the household targeted by his debt collection. He later helped secure her rescue by reporting her detention to Chiba 4 11 12.
• Yani — A gang subordinate whom Alili slapped and kicked for insulting Chiba 8.
• Ultear — An intended target during his return with Shadow Skull. Alili resented Chiba’s willingness to protect her despite her dark guild connections and mocked her appeal to his former friendship with Chiba 50 51 52.
• Tianna — Encountered Alili alongside Chiba; he threatened her with his broadsword to stop her from destroying the puppets, then left without killing either of them 112 113.
• Unnamed woman at Shadow Skull’s base — A collaborator to whom Alili said he owed a favor. He rejected her advances and distinguished her plan from his own intentions 112 113.
