|---|---|---|
| Dark Heart-enhanced state | 76 | Absorbed the Dark Heart into her chest, drawing Dark Power from the void. Her appearance changed, and she gained enough spiritual power to pursue the First Spirit. |
Background / History
Kurumi received the Dark Heart from Izayoi Sakamaki's group and immediately recognized it as a means to end her shortage of spiritual power. She absorbed it into her body, transformed into a silver-haired woman in white, and set out to kill the First Spirit. 76
Using power granted through the administrator, Kurumi killed the First Spirit without dying herself. The version of Kurumi native to that timeline vanished afterward, while her former best friend continued living peacefully at the academy without knowing her. 88
Appearance
Kurumi is a beautiful young woman whose appearance changes significantly after her Dark Heart enhancement. Her usual clothing is a black-and-red gothic lolita dress, while her empowered appearance features silver-white hair and a pure white formal gown. 76 110
- Heterochromatic eyes; one eye can show a golden clock-like light. 76 241
- Originally has glossy black hair; Dark Heart absorption changes it to silver-white. 76
- Carries flintlock pistols used to fire time-infused bullets. 118 139
- Manifests the enormous golden clock Zafkiel behind her during combat. 118 182
Personality
Kurumi is playful, theatrical, and cruel toward enemies. She treats powerful opponents as “toys,” takes visible pleasure in hunting prey, and is willing to prolong a fight through time manipulation rather than end it quickly. Her pursuit and capture of Ishtar display both her bloodlust and her delight in controlling others. 138 139 144
Despite this, Kurumi is exceptionally patient and protective toward Kaname Madoka. She spoke with Madoka through repeated cycles of death and memory resets, remained concerned about her suffering, and sought knowledge that might prevent her from repeating her tragedy. 202 217 239
Kurumi is also possessive toward Izayoi Sakamaki. She calls him “dear” or “darling,” accompanies him into dangerous situations, and becomes jealous over his popularity at school. 110 216 234 261
Abilities & Skills
Time Manipulation
Kurumi uses Zafkiel and time-infused bullets to alter herself, targets, and local temporal conditions.
- First Bullet — Aleph: Accelerates her own time flow, granting extreme movement speed. 138
- Second Bullet — Bet: Slows a target's time, leaving them unable to keep pace with their thoughts or surroundings. 144
- Third Bullet — Gimel: Creates temporal replications of Kurumi, allowing numerous copies to attack at once. 139
- Fourth Bullet — Dalet: Reverses time on herself, restoring injuries and damaged clothing. 144
- Sixth Bullet — Vav: Sends her consciousness back ten seconds, allowing her to interrupt an opponent's previously successful action. 118
- Seventh Bullet — Zayin: Stops a struck target's time. 217
- Can summon versions of herself from different points in time and use them independently. 202 249
- Can move through space to evade attacks. 118
Her techniques require Zafkiel's clock hands to be positioned for the intended effect. This reliance on her clock and weaponry makes physical restraint a potential weakness. 217
Dark Power
After absorbing the Dark Heart, Kurumi became an elemental borrowing Dark Power from the void.
- Greatly reduced her spiritual-power shortage; she later reports almost never lacking spiritual power. 76 112
- Forms a black temporal domain that harvests monsters' lifespans. 150
- Was not yet fully developed after the enhancement and could not directly overcome the sun-like Mystery of Gawain's Noble Phantasm. 118
Combat Ability
Kurumi fights through ranged pressure, temporal traps, clones, and psychological intimidation rather than direct hand-to-hand combat.
- Neutralized Gawain's Excalibur Galatine by making its radiance wither through a time-infused bullet. 118
- Slaughtered Demon Beasts while alternately accelerating herself, slowing them, and restoring wounded prey to continue tormenting them. 138
- Forced Ishtar into retreat, then later captured and immobilized her through coordinated time acceleration and deceleration. 138 144
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Zafkiel — Giant golden clock used to select and channel Kurumi's temporal bullets. 118 182
- Flintlock pistols — Her primary weapons for firing time-infused bullets. 118 139
- Dark Heart — Absorbed into her chest; increased her Dark Power and spiritual-energy reserves. 76
- Phoenix Tail Feather — An item costing 67 million Points that grants rebirth through fire. Kurumi later used it in an attempt to save Anna. 254 255
Relationships
- Izayoi Sakamaki — Fellow chat group member and the person she calls “dear” or “darling.” She frequently accompanies him and shows jealousy over his attention from others. 110 216 234 261
- Kaname Madoka — A close friend whom Kurumi repeatedly supported through Madoka's recurring timelines. Kurumi is fiercely protective of her happiness and future. 202 217 239
- Akemi Homura — Initially regarded with intense hostility because Kurumi blamed her for Madoka's suffering. They later cooperate to protect Madoka and comfort one another during crises. 217 239 251
- First Spirit — Kurumi's target of revenge; Kurumi ultimately killed her after absorbing the Dark Heart. 76 88
- Ishtar — A goddess Kurumi treats as a “toy.” Their encounters begin with Kurumi hunting her and end with Ishtar being captured and humiliated. 138 139 144 145
- Chloe — A Hound of Tindalos who develops an overwhelming fear of Kurumi, causing Kurumi distress and confusion. 249 250
- Anna — Chloe's mother. Kurumi initially prepared to fight her, then attempted to help save her and opposed Anna's decision to sacrifice herself. 251 252 255
