WHITE QUEEN

Kurumi Tokisaki (時とき崎さき 狂くる三み) is the third Spirit to appear. Due to her brutal actions, she is referred to as the Worst Spirit. She is also the first Spirit to appear as an antagonist in the Date A Live series.

Mana Takamiya reported that Kurumi Tokisaki is the most dangerous Spirit ever known. She has killed over 10,000 people, with an estimate of only around 100 being Spacequake victims. As such, her title as the Worst Spirit comes from personally killing her victims with her own hands.

Kurumi is “a girl with “astonishing beauty” as described by Shido Itsuka. She appears to be elegant and has very polite manners. Kurumi Tokisaki had used unstated and unexplained methods to personally transfer into Shido Itsuka’s class so that she could get closer to him. Her purposes and reasons for moving were simple: consume Shido Itsuka, and in doing so, gain the Reiryoku sealed within his body.

Kurumi is a person whose character is difficult to read. She possesses a dislike of humanity that borders on mistrust, which is something that she shares with most of the other Spirits in her debut. She is a skilled actress as she is capable of putting on the façade of an innocent, curious young girl when she needs to. This skill of hers is shown when she registered as a student at Raizen High School and spoke in a polite manner. However, under that mask lies a mad woman, prone to fits of insane laughter and possessing no regard for human life, viewing them as a food source to restore her own time, and thus, a disposable commodity.

Later, it was revealed that Kurumi had a conversation with a mysterious being that made it seem like she was talking to herself. Here, she stated her real goal was to seek Shido out in order to be able to use her 12th bullet to travel 30 years back in time and kill the First Spirit. To accomplish that, she required a significant amount of Reiryoku which she didn’t possess, which is why she wanted to consume Shido. Shido held the Reiryoku of three Spirits within him, enough for her to be able to use the 12th bullet and still have some power left over to kill the First Spirit.

Clones

Combined with the power of the Eighth bullet, she can create a clone that has all her experiences, memories, and abilities; they use her guns, summon and dismiss Spacequakes at will, and even summon the City of Devouring Time.

Time Manipulation

Kurumi can manipulate time through her bullets. Her flintlock pistol and musket both possess special bullets that can cause different effects on the subject’s time depending on the number of the bullet.

First Bullet YUD

Accelerates external time on its target. Kurumi frequently uses this bullet to increase her own speed in battle.

Seventh Bullet ZAYIN

Temporarily freezes the target’s time.

Sixth Bullet VAV

Fourth Bullet DALET

Allows Kurumi to share her senses with someone on a different time axis. Due to her rarely getting to use this bullet, Kurumi admits it still takes a fair degree of effort to share her thoughts.

Tenth Bullet YUD

Peeks into the past of any object struck. By using this bullet on herself, Kurumi was able to regain her memories from her amnesia.

Eleventh Bullet YUD ALEPH

Sends its target to the future. The distance of time traveled forward is exponentially proportional to the amount of time and Reiryoku spent.

Twelth Bullet YUD BET

Sends its target to the past. It shares the same drawback as the Eleventh Bullet and likewise sends its users back to their original time period after the effect wears off.
