Overview

“ Insert the text of the quote here, without quotation marks. ”

— To Asta in The Other New Member

Yami Sukehiro 「ヤミ・スケヒロ Yami Sukehiro」 is a foreigner from the Hino Country[3] and the first captain of the Clover Kingdom's Black Bull squad of the Magic Knights.[4][5] He is also a former member of the Grey Deer squad.[2]

Appearance

Yami is a tall man with a very muscular build. He has grey eyes and black hair of medium length that is messily combed backward, making it stick outwards. Additionally, he sports a stubble mustache and beard.

Yami's attire is very simple and consists only of a white A-shirt and black trousers. The trousers have an extra layer of tan leather that covers his outer thighs and down to his knees. The trousers are only supported by a belt around his waist. Yami wears another pair of belts, one of which he uses to carry his grimoire. Lastly, he wears black high boots that cover most of his calves.

As the captain of the Black Bull squad, Yami wears a black banner with the squad's insignia on it. He wears it over his right shoulder and it is attached by two strings to his left shoulder. The banner also has tattered edges, seeming to have been ripped off from a bigger banner. After six months of training, Yami's black banner is now longer to where he now wears it over his right shoulder and under his left arm in a cape-like fashion.

For the Star Awards Festival, Yami wears a simple robe over a fundoshi, and a twisted hachimaki tied in the front. He also carries an uchiwa. The fan and the back of the robe bear the kanji 祭 ("festival"), and the linings of his robe bear the kanji for "raging bull" 「暴れ牛 abare ushi」.[6]

In Yami's youth, he wore the same thing, but his build was not as muscular.

Personality

Yami angered by Asta

Yami after Asta bumped him.

Yami is uncouth, reckless, slightly hypocritical, and prone to delivering death threats at the slightest provocation. Nevertheless, he is a powerful and well-respected Magic Knight who was able to recognize Asta's merits when none of the other Captains would give him a chance.

He is typically a stoic man who believes more in actions than in words. He is very hot-headed, who can be easily angered by small matters such as being bumped by another person or interrupted when talking.[7] Yami also has a penchant for intimidation whether he uses threatening words or physically harms his target.[8][9] He also tends to immediately go straight for a more physical solution to any problems or confrontations, such as when he destroys a part of the squad's headquarters to calm his subordinates.[10] Despite being very bull-headed, reckless, and unrefined , Yami is an experienced and perceptive warrior, picking apart his opponent's strategies with a glance and is constantly trying to come up with counters for them.

Furthermore, he also prefers instilling tough love to his subordinates by giving them dangerous missions. He believes that it is the best way for them to overcome their limits and grow stronger.[11][12] Yami also does not discriminate people according to their social status or circumstances where he is willing to accept Luck Voltia, Noelle Silva, and Asta to join his ranks, even though he is aware of each of their problems.[12][13][14] His concern for them is likely tied to his own circumstances, being treated as an outcast in his youth like they are.

Battle Prowess

Magic

  • Dark Magic: Yami uses this magic attribute to generate and manipulate the element of darkness.[15] He primarily uses this magic by channeling it into his sword.[16] This magic has the ability to draw in other forms of magic, namely Light Magic, absorbing it into the darkness[17] and can even affect the other world.[18] Due to his Dark Magic's ability to affect the other world naturally, Yami is ranked as an Arcane Stage mage.[19]
  • Reinforcement Magic: Yami uses this form of magic to increase his physical abilities. It also allows him to make up for the slow speed of his Dark Magic.[20] With it, he remains standing under the immense pressure of Dante's devil-boosted Gravity Magic.[21]

Abilities

  • Master Swordsman: Yami has described himself as a magic swordsman.[23] He is extremely skilled in swordsmanship; he easily fights on par with Patolli, the leader of the Eye of the Midnight Sun, with nothing but swordplay in conjunction with his Dark Magic, destroying the surrounding environment.[24]
  • Enhanced Strength: Yami possesses tremendous physical strength which he further increases with magic. He easily throws Asta a considerable distance with just one hand.[25][26]
  • Enhanced Reflexes: Using ki, Yami can predict and react to attacks that others cannot keep up with[27] and nonchalantly counters these attacks without having to turn around.[28]
  • Immense Durability: Yami is an extremely durable fighter, remaining unfazed when hit by Patolli's light blades,[29] and emerges completely unscathed at his attempted cave in.[30]
  • Enhanced Speed: Yami is extremely fast, able to keep up with and surprise someone as fast as Patolli with his speed.[31] When Lotus Whomalt attempts to launch a surprise attack on William Vangeance, despite having to climb a massive tree,[32] Yami arrives just in time to intercept him.[33] He is also capable of dodging Marx's elf-enhanced arrows that are faster than normal.[34]
  • Immense Magic Power: As a captain of a Magic Knights squad, Yami possesses an immense amount of magic power, as shown when the anti-birds flee as soon as they realize his presence.[35] This is further proven when the slightest release intimidates multiple people.[8] After Yami blocks and counters Patolli, Valtos wonders if the captain could rival the Magic Emperor.[36] Gifso, the High Priest of the Seabed Temple, acknowledges Yami as being too powerful for his game.[37] When watching his squad fight to the brink of death, he surpasses his limits to escape the Abari's Different Dimension Sphere and becomes powerful enough to easily defeat Vetto.[38] Julius Novachrono states that Yami has grown more powerful after he returns to the kingdom.[39] Yami estimates that his amount of magic power outclasses all commoners and nobles, with only very powerful royals such as Nozel, the strongest of elves such as Licht and Charla, and devils surpassing him in this regard.[40]
  • Ki: A principle originating from his homeland, this skill allows Yami to use a sixth sense to perceive and react to unseen attacks and persons.[41]
  • Mana Zone: Yami can control all the mana in an area around him to increase his spells' power and range[42] and to stand in midair.[43] By combining it with Ki, Yami can react to his opponents' movements before they make them similar to Julius's future-seeing ability, though he states that it is not on Julius's level.[44]

Equipment

  • Grimoire: Yami possesses a three-leaf clover grimoire that contains various darkness-based spells.[45]
  • Katana: Yami uses a katana in combat.[46] It is from his homeland, the Hino Country.[47] It was broken by Vetto during their first encounter,[48] but replaced with a brand new one afterwards.[49]
  • Communication Device: Yami possesses a small device that allows him to communicate with the members of his squad. It can only transmit audio.[50]

Fights

Events

Relationships

Black Bulls

Asta

Yami personally recruits Asta into the Black Bulls after he takes an interest in him. He acts as a mentor figure to Asta, coming to his rescue after he is attacked by Patolli and teaching him how to use Ki. He has a lot of faith in Asta's strength, and he has acknowledged Asta as the one responsible for the squad's improved strength and reputation.

Noelle Silva

Yami recruits Noelle Silva into the Black Bulls despite her reputation as a failure of a royal. He has a lot of faith in her strength, and Noelle holds much admiration for Yami in turn, though she is sometimes put off by his gruff behavior.

Magna Swing

Yami and Magna Swing share a strong, almost brotherly relationship. Magna is completely loyal to Yami, and Yami in turn will take Magna to go gambling at times.

Vanessa Enoteca

Yami accidentally frees Vanessa Enoteca from imprisonment in the Witch's Forest, and she later joins the Black Bulls out of respect for him. She appears to have a slight crush on him, but Yami remains oblivious to this.

Gauche Adlai

Yami recruits Gauche to the Black Bulls despite him being an escaped prisoner at the time. Though Gauche rarely shows it, he holds a lot of respect for Yami and vice versa, though Yami is often put off by Gauche's obsession with his sister.

Luck Voltia

Luck Voltia holds Yami's strength in a high regard, and is always attempting to challenge him to a battle. Though Yami is sometimes put off by Luck's sociopathic behavior, he still acknowledges and highly regards Luck's battle strength and mana sensory abilities.

Finral Roulacase

Yami puts a considerable amount of trust in Finral Roulacase and his Spatial Magic. Though Yami often threatens Finral due to his cowardly behavior, he actually cares for him quite a bit and has confidence in his recovery after his battle with Langris.

Secre Swallowtail

Yami acknowledges Secre Swallowtail as a member of the Black Bulls and even attacks the Magic Parliament to save her and Asta from being persecuted.

Magic Knights

Julius Novachrono

Julius Novachrono is the one who convinced Yami to join the Magic Knights and the first person to show him any kindness since he came to the Clover Kingdom. They both trust each other very much and share a strong friendship, and Yami is heartbroken when Julius dies at Patolli's hands. Notably, Julius is the only person shown thus far who can get Yami to do something without receiving a single complaint in return.

Charlotte Roselei

Though Yami has yet to acknowledge Charlotte Roselei's feelings as he has not realized them yet, he holds a lot of respect for her strength and works hard to save her after she is possessed by the elf Charla.

William Vangeance

Yami and William Vangeance share a friendly rivalry not dissimilar from the one shared by Asta and Yuno. They both trust each other quite a bit, and Yami does not change his opinion of William even after he sees his disfigured face.

Fuegoleon Vermillion

Yami holds a large amount of respect for Fuegoleon Vermillion. When he hears of Fuegoleon's injury, he is confident in Fuegoleon's ability to pull through and recover, and at the same time wants to avenge the defeat during his fight with Patolli.

Mereoleona Vermillion

Yami and Mereoleona Vermillion share a hostile sort of camaraderie. They respect each other's strength, but they often get into altercations when they meet regardless. Uniquely, Mereoleona seems to be the only Magic Knight captain who scares Yami, as he starts shouting to evacuate the base after Mereoleona comes barging in. In comparison, he has recklessly angered people like Nozel and Jack without any form of caution.

Jack the Ripper

Yami and Jack the Ripper are drinking buddies and rivals. The two of them seem to turn every task they do together into a contest, whether it be fighting, drinking, or even selling food. Nevertheless, the two have been shown to work well together in a fight and they both acknowledge each other as worthy opponents.

Nozel Silva

Yami and Nozel Silva have an intense rivalry. Nozel is disgusted by Yami's unruly behavior, and Yami thinks of Nozel as an annoying pretty boy. However, they still respect each other as fellow captains and powerful fighters.
