Kurumi Tokisaki is one of the main spirits that are part of the plot of the manga and anime series Date a live. According to the main plot of the story, spirits are extraterrestrial beings that produce earthquakes and other calamities every time they go to Earth. Only a few humans can seal them to control the threat.
Kurumi is one of these spirits who possesses a number of extraordinary abilities. It is described as the most aggressive and violent spirit of all, because it has killed more than 10,000 people by its own means. Thanks to the protection of her guardian angel, it has been nearly impossible to seal or kill Kurumi.
His appearance in the series pursues the objective of getting the spirits sealed by Shidou Itsuka and then using them to his advantage. However, she begins to feel attracted to him. Kurumi Tokisaki is introduced as the first antagonist in history.
Context
Most of the population located in Eurasia disappeared due to a dangerous and impressive phenomenon called a space earthquake, which can occur anywhere in the world.
Eventually, these earthquakes represented the arrival of spirits, extraterrestrial beings that pose a threat to humanity.
It is here that Shidou Itsuka enters the scene, an ordinary high school student who possesses the ability to neutralize these spirits by sealing their powers and keeping them within his body. However, to achieve this Shidou has to make the entity fall in love with him to defeat him through a kiss.
Throughout the story, Shidou's attempts, as well as his adoptive sister, Kotori, to save the world are contemplated.
History
Kurumi appeared in the series when she was transferred to Shidou's high school with the main objective of obtaining the powers of the sealed spirits that still remained in her body. She even expressed the desire to also kill Origami Tobichii, Shidou's companion and self-proclaimed girlfriend.
As time passed, Kurumi began to feel an attraction towards him, so her intentions changed to focus on finding the spirit that caused the deaths of more than 150 million people in the first space earthquake. If he succeeded, he would kill him and thus acquire his power.
During the series, Kurimi's different abilities are revealed, such as the ability to reproduce a series of clones of herself, which makes her practically invincible.
Importantly, Kurumi is the most dangerous spirit in the series, as she has been able to kill more than 10,000 people with her bare hands. In addition, he has the protection of his angel Zadkiel (called the emperor of time), who helps him to get rid of complex situations.
Origin
While the degree of damage she can do towards humans and other spirits is known, Kurumi initially lived as a normal girl before her transformation as a spirit. Some essential elements of its history can be highlighted:
-Kurumi was born into a rich and wealthy family, so she was a person loved and protected by her parents.
-She was attacked by a monster some time after returning home. She was saved thanks to Mio, a being of light who presented herself as an "ally of justice." He offered her powers that she could use to protect her family from spirits. By accepting, she received the Crystal of Sephira and the protection of the angel Zadkiel. Thus, and without knowing it, she transformed into a spirit.
-Started working with Mio killing spirits and all kinds of monsters. She later learned that said monsters were actually humans who had become hosts for the refinement of these crystals.
-After a while, Kurumi woke up in a crater without clear memories of her past life. At that time she was about to suffer an attack by the AST (Anti-Spirit Team), although she managed to escape.
-Little by little she began to understand both her powers (manipulation of time at her pleasure, shadow control and cloning herself), and those of her angel, so she began the crusade to find Mio and end her plan to spread more spirits.
-At that point, she made a series of clones of herself to try to find her whereabouts, at the same time that she was dedicated to killing thousands of people by her own means.
-More advanced in the story, the identity is revealed, as well as the powers that Shidou Itsuka's body housed. That is why he decides to infiltrate his secondary to obtain these skills.
Personality
Unlike other characters in the series, Kurumi possesses a complex personality because her actions and ideals seem to contrast with each other.
-Before transforming into a spirit, he believed in justice and despised the mistreatment of any living being. Also, he lamented the injustices that were happening around him, so he tries to help others.
-After his transformation, he seems to have no respect or appreciation for human life, since he sees people as a means to achieve his goals.
-Initially, he used an innocent and apparently harmless attitude, especially when entering Raizen High School. However, internally it is a being prone to anger and violence.
-Despite being a dangerous spirit, it retains a certain degree of naivety and nobility.
-It's weak point is animals and small creatures.
-The level of danger it has is related to the amount of lives it has destroyed; however, these people are believed to have been rapists and animal abusers.
-Your main goal is to find Mio to prevent the creation of spirits, as well as space earthquakes, in order to protect more human lives. This indicates that despite his questionable methods, he is someone who possesses a great sense of justice.
