Kakeru Kamisato

Kakeru Kamisato is a major character in the A Certain Magical Index franchise, serving as the titular main antagonist of the World Rejecter Arc in A Certain Magical Index: New Testament.
He is a mysterious high school boy who arrived at Academy City looking to eliminate all Magic Gods. He's actually responsible of the disappearances of almost all members of True Gremlin, having "exiled" them from the world using an unique power residing in his right hand called World Rejecter. To continue his quest he then moves against the weakened Othinus, who had been living with Touma and Index after losing all her powers, stating that she was still far enough from a normal human being to be considered a Magic God in his eyes. The two boys quickly clashed, despite Kakeru's initial belief that Touma might sympathize with him over their shared situation of being constantly involved in trouble and saving people with their special right hands.
He is voiced by in Japanese.
== Appearance ==
Kakeru is an ordinary young man with brown hair and eyes, and normally wears a school uniform consisting of a white formal shirt with a red, yellow, and blue striped tie, a blue jacket buttoned by two gold buttons and grey trousers.
== Personality ==
Both Kakeru and the narration describes him as a "normal high school boy who you could find anywhere". Due to this, he has a pessimistic and inflexible view of himself as someone who is just average or below in everything, not being able to get affections of girls or survive any supernatural events. 
Because of his perception of himself as normal, Kakeru fears that the girls of the Kamisato Faction only follow him around because of the power of World Rejecter. As such, Kakeru hates being given his power and being thrust into the role of a hero, so he takes his anger out on the Magic Gods after blaming them for this. Despite this, he still makes use of the World Rejecter and will not hesitate to help others in need.
Kakeru tends to project his own views of similarity or difference onto the world around him, disregarding others opionons and views in the process. When he learns of Touma's similar powers, Kakeru automatically assumes that Touma wants to be normal just like him and would join him in his quest to get revenge on the beings who empowered them. He is thrown for a loop when Touma reveals his dedication to helping and protecting people.
As opposed to Touma, who would try to find a solution where everyone is happy, Kakeru is more pragmatic and will often sacrifice one person to save another instead of seach for a more positive alternative. He is also more willing to inflict lethal injuries on his opponents. However, Kakeru does share Touma's intolerance of injustice and a strong sense of justice. 
== Abilities ==
Kakeru's main ability is the World Rejecter, a mysterious power that resides in his right hand, apparently granted to him by the Magic Gods of True Gremlin when they grew disappointed in Touma Kamijou. World Rejecter can banish its target into the unused portions of the world as long as it certain conditions are met, from living beings to inanimate objects and even a magic god's attacks. The biggest condition seems to be conflicting desires. For example, saying you want to escape your closed environment yet not wanting to give up your life surrounded by girls, fearing your weapon yet delighting in how different it is from those around you, whispering that you want to live happily with your girlfriend yet not wanting to destroy your harem, or clinging to the world while wishing for its destruction. It works on anyone who has a wavering heart or several conflicting goals like that. It also works on anything created by that kind of people. This includes attacks and weapons, even if the creators are not the ones using those weapons.
When it was used by Kakeru, it allowed him to "exile" the magic gods to their "ideal" type of world. Because of this, Kakeru describes their exile as their "salvation". This also means that entities banished through World Rejecter are unlikely to return once banished, even if able to, because it is unlikely for them to be willing to leave their ideal world. While it seems to work on physical touch like Imagine Breaker, Kakeru's ability also has a ranged function, as it also able to banish anything that is touched by the right hand's shadow. In order to take advantage of this function Kakeru carries a flashlight to manipulate the size of his hand's shadow. Kakeru's catchphrase, "Do you wish for a new world?", appears to be a trigger for using World Rejecter, as shown when Yuiitsu Kihara stole the ability but couldn't use it until she used the phrase, but Kakeru himself has been shown to be able to use the ability freely by merely moving his right hand.
