Akihiro Yatsumaru

Akihiro Yatsumaru is a Hell-Hunter and prominent Antagonist in Cysti, mainly as a nemesis to Sadow.

Appearance
Akihiro has shoulder-length spikey, white hair with bangs that frame his face. He has pale skin and blue, slitted eyes. He has a more defining physique than Sadow, displaying it with an open-chest black Trenchcoat with spikes framing his chest. Unlike Sadow's own Trenchcoat, Akihiro's flaps are more solid and spike-looking, pointing outwards in separate directions. He wears knee-high black boots and always wears the red crystal necklace if he's claimed it from Sadow.

Personality
Aki displays, in contrast to Sadow's aversion to it, a love of indulgance. He rapes and kills without even a thought to it, claiming he is an animal, like Sadow, and that it is his nature to do these things. He lives for battle, and even displays a sort of withdrawal when he is outside of it. Aki tends to think of nature, including his own as well as Sadow's, as chaotic, violent, and self-serving.

He treats Sadow with high regard, though in a negative way. He tends to refer to him often as "runt", regarding him as younger and less experienced than he. To this end, he strives to conflict against Sadow as much as possible and grows infuriated when interrupted or declined a duel against him. He also has no qualms against torturing or killing people he knows Sadow is close to in order to antagonize him.

Akihiro loves massive displays of destruction, grinning wide in satisfaction when seeing clouds of fire rising from burning debris.

Quotes
"Hey, runt! It's been too long! Forsake any orphans lately?"

"I was hoping to kick the runt's ass first, but I suppose I can settle with some side dishes before going for the main course!"

"I bet you're wondering why you keep losing. It's because you're weaker than I am. You always have been, and you always will be!" -To Sadow

"You still don't get it; we're animals, you and I. We just don't give a fuck, one way or the other. But you're so anal-retentive to give a fuck, you can't realize that you're incapable of giving a fuck! But whether you give a fuck or not, I will never give a fuck! So you might as well stop giving a fuck before I start to give one!" -To Sadow

"Looking for this?" -To Sadow as he reveals Furi's necklace.
