Kamiki Yūhaku

Biodata

Power Progression

Recognition measures how people perceive the character and helps complete a system profile; it is distinct from combat strength 3 8.

Background

The system

After transmigrating, Yūhaku bound himself to the unfinished Beautiful, Powerful, and Tragic System. It offered to bring him back to life if he completed its character profiles. Rather than receiving a fabricated backstory, he lived through the experiences that became part of each setting 1 3 8.

Artificial ability user

In Yokohama, Yūhaku was subjected to government human experiments intended to give abilities to ordinary people. He became Prototype Otsu No. 0, one of the facility’s successful subjects. Researchers repeatedly injured him to test his blood-triggered defense; the experiments turned his black hair white and left him unable to feel pain 8 11 12.

After the French Concession explosion, doctor Kambe Kazuha rescued him. Yūhaku found that his original family had separated and formed new families, so he left them undisturbed and lived with Kambe and the crow Xiao Wu. When Yūhaku was fifteen, the Kōrai-kai killed Kambe and burned their home. Yūhaku joined the Port Mafia to avenge him and eventually helped bring about the organization’s destruction 19.

Prophet and Cursed Spirit

In another character profile, Yūhaku was born into the Kamiki Clan with the inherited Prophecy technique. The clan regarded it as a taboo that foretold its destruction and confined him in a forbidden area. Yukimi befriended him there, and Yūhaku later escaped and spent half a year at Jujutsu High 37 41 47.

The clan deceived Yūhaku’s friends and used a blood relative in a Binding Vow to seal his powers. Its capture team killed both Yūhaku and Yukimi, who had returned to protect him. Yūhaku became a Special Grade Cursed Spirit and, while out of control, wiped out the clan. He subsequently sought confinement at Jujutsu High to resist his Cursed Spirit instincts 47 48.

Appearance

Yūhaku’s appearance differs between his character profiles.

• Artificial ability user: Red eyes and white hair; his hair was originally black before the experiments caused a physical mutation 7 12.
• Cursed Spirit: Pale pink hair and dark green eyes, sometimes showing faint red markings. He has two chains extending from the bones of his arms at the wrists 35 37 48.
• Clothing: He wears a black coat in Yokohama and is frequently accompanied by a crow 1 8.

Personality

Yūhaku often smiles gently and speaks with easy familiarity, even to people who distrust him. His manner can conceal threats or deliberate provocations; Dazai considers him dangerous and disloyal, while Chūya finds it difficult to tell what he truly feels 3 20.

His losses make him wary of attachment, yet he cares deeply for Little Crow and remembers Kambe’s kindness. As a Cursed Spirit, he rejects the idea of taking his suffering out on humanity and struggles to preserve his sense of being human 19 25 40 47.

Abilities & Skills

Survival With No Hope

Yūhaku’s artificial ability is a passive defense that activates when blood leaves his body. Its protective power increases with the severity of his injuries 7.

• It allows him to survive attacks such as Kitada Hiro’s gunshots 18.
• Chūya broke through the defense by applying greater force; blood loss and an instantly fatal injury remain dangerous 8 9 28.
• Yūhaku lost his sense of pain during experimentation, making it harder for pain to warn him of injury 12.

Borrowed ability

During the fog incident, Yūhaku used an ability he identified as not his own to drive back the White Tiger and Demon Snow 11.

• He reopened a wound to pay the cost of using it.
• The white light pushed both abilities back but caused recoil and contributed to his blood loss 11.

Prophecy

• He can learn information through a future conversation, including events he has not personally witnessed 37 40.

• After his transformation, he used Domain Expansion during the rampage that destroyed the Kamiki Clan 48.
