Yomi Satsuki (皐月 夜見 Satsuki Yomi) is the third-seat member of the Origami Family Elite Guard and an alumna of Renpu Girls' School.[3]

Appearance[]

Yomi is a girl with medium-length hair and pale brown eyes that are always at an empty gaze. Her hair is mostly white, with only the ends colored black.

She wears the standard uniform of the Origami Family Elite Guard, with black leggings and white thigh-high boots and a pair of black gloves most of the time.

Personality[]

Among the members of the Elite Guard, she is the one who most often stays at Yukari Origami's side. She appears incapable of showing emotions, and will not engage in conversation unless necessary.[3]

She has shown another side of her personality, willing to do anything to obtain power, to be more "useful".[4]

Background[]

Her achievements differ from those of fellow Elite Guard Maki Shidou and Suzuka Konohana, and so far nothing is known about any of her remarkable achievements as well as her capabilities, thus making her a Toji wrapped in countless mysteries.[3]

The president of Renpu Girls' School, Yukina Takatsu, claimed that Yomi is incapable of using an okatana properly.[5]

Chronology[]

Yomi was not seen in the National Swordsmanship Tournament until the decisive match, where she attended alongside Yukari Origami and the rest of the Elite Guard.[6] Since then, she mostly stayed within the headquarters of the Special Sword Administration Bureau, acting as Yukari's secretary whenever the need to summon certain people arose.[7]

Eventually, she was dispatched alongside Maki and Suzuka to Ebisu where a search party for Kanami Etou and Hiyori Juujou, fugitives accused of directly attacking Yukari Origami, was organized. Here, she used her Aradama swarms to isolate Kanami and Hiyori so that Maki and Suzuka could apprehend the two. After Maki's defeat in the hands of Kanami, a reinforcement order was called by Yomi, but she was found by Kaoru Mashiko of Osafune Girls' Academy, and was defeated.[5] Although she was able to regroup with her fellow Elite Guards, a second encounter, this time against Osafune Girls' Academy's Ellen Kohagura, compelled her to use several noro vials to boost her strength. She was able to gain an upper hand against Ellen, and she was even successful in fighting back against a combined effort of Kanami, Kaoru and Ellen, but the side effects of injecting too many noro vials in her bloodstream eventually took its toll and she collapsed.[4]

Yomi was returned to the headquarters of the Special Sword Administration Bureau with grave injuries to her right eye (which mutated after injecting herself with noro) and forearms, and was making a stable recovery. However, she was met with extreme prejudice by Yukina and was badmouthed for her latest series of failures.[8] Nonetheless, she continued her recovery until news broke out of a direct attack on the headquarters.[9]

Other Appearances[]

Toji no Miko Drama CD: Nagori Kachou[]

Following the anime timeline, the drama CD, set several months after the End-of-the-Year Great Disaster, revisited the "mountain hunt" that occurred in the anime series through a mission assigned to Maki Shidou and Suzuka Konohana, now members of the Special Defense Team, and both Kanami Etou and Hiyori Juujou. This mission's real objective was revealed as an investigation on the Aradama that were active in the area. In an encounter with these Aradama, Maki and Suzuka discovered that these pseudo-Aradama, which were partly created from Yomi's blood cells, somehow retained the fallen Elite Guard's memories of up to the time of the operation. Maki and Suzuka, still grieving over Yomi's death, decided to accept the request of the "Yomi remnant" to spar with them for the last time, the remnant then assuring that Yomi was grateful for the memories she had with the Elite Guard.

Toji no Miko: Kizamishi Issen no Tomoshibi[]

Yomi in Toji no Miko: Kizamishi Issen no Tomoshibi experienced a different fate than in the anime series. As a result of Yume's rescue from the Netherworld, the Elite Guard was able to reach Yomi before her body could fully succumb to effects of prolonged use of her Aradama, effectively saving her. After her recovery, Yomi rejoined the Elite Guard, which would eventually be called the Special Defense Team after the bureau's restructuring.

Aside from this, Yomi's origins in Akita were expanded in Act 5 of the main story. Yomi's friends from childhood, Akira Inago and Yuuki Toribane, are members of Mokusa's Hitakami Faction which was, for some reason, interested to know more about Mihono Asakura's hidden powers.

Combat Abilities[]

Average Swordsmanship: Yomi's level of swordsmanship skill is unknown. She has not demonstrated her skills in sword combat due to her preference in using Aradama summoning to fight, and was overpowered easily by Kaoru and Ellen in separate occasions in one-on-one combat. She is capable of performing basic sword skills.

  • Swordsmanship Style: Shinjin-Ryu (深甚流) - A swordsmanship style that teaches the principle of "reflecting water": "tranquil like water, clear as a mirror". The style fights with an unwavering heart, teaching techniques that disregards one's safety in battle by delivering a single thrusting strike at an enemy without defending from the enemy's attacks.[3]

Noro Empowerment: As member of the Elite Guard, Yomi gained access to the ability to empower oneself using noro.

Ep05 20m17s

Yomi summons a large swarm of Aradama from the wounds on her left arm.

  • Aradama Summoning - By making small incisions on her arms, Yomi can call forth a swarm of small butterfly-like Aradama from her blood which is mixed with Noro. These Aradama can be controlled by Yomi, and can follow orders like avoiding certain terrain or attacking specific targets.[5]
  • Aradama-Mutated Form - After injecting a considerated number of vials of Noro into her bloodstream, Yomi gained tremendous strength and durability. In this form, her right eye transforms into a horn-like protrusion that eventually opens into an Aradama-like eye as Yomi receives more Noro. This form, however, wears down on Yomi's judgment and fighting technique, becoming an existence similar to an Aradama, and was shown to be very unstable. Upon using this form and receiving up to ten vials of noro, she was eventually engulfed in non-combustible flames after several minutes of intense combat.

Equipment[]

Okatana: Suijingiri Kanemitsu (水神切兼光) - An uchigatana crafted in the hira-zukuri style, with sides that are flat like a kitchen knife. Legends say that a certain commander had slain a water god using this sword, causing floods to subside.[3]

Etymology[]

  • The name Yomi means "night" (夜) (yo) and "to see" (見) (mi).
  • Yomi's surname Satsuki means "May" (皐月).

Trivia[]

  • Yomi speaks in the Akita dialect, especially when she is embarrassed.
  • Despite being regarded as as girl who is incapable of showing emotions, she can show fear or embarrassment, and has even rambled to her fellow Elite Guards about tea, one of her favorites.
  • The white boots Yomi wears is the same pair of footwear worn by Yukari when she led the team that would later defeat Tagitsuhime during the Great Disaster of Sagami Bay. The pair of boots was an item that Yukina wanted to have, but it was Yomi who received it instead.[10]
  • Although her birthday is December 24, Yomi celebrates a different "birthday", which commemorates the day she swore her loyalty to Yukina.
  • Her family owns a few dogs at home. They owned a large white Akita inu that died of old age when Yomi was still in Grade 6, and they eventually got a Yorkshire terrier and a young miniature dachshund, both female. Yomi was devastated about the death of her Akita inu to this day, and sometimes still sees it in her dreams.[2]
