Yami Sukehiro is the Captain of the Black Bulls, a squad of the Clover Kingdom's Magic Knights. A foreigner from "the Land of the Rising Sun" who washed up on the kingdom's shores after his boat capsized, Yami is uncouth, hypocritical, and prone to delivering death threats at the slightest provocation.

Dark Magic: Yami's magic allows him to manipulate darkness. He primarily uses this magic to increase his physical abilities and channels it into his sword, creating destructive arcs of dark energy that are powerful enough to counter Licht's Light Magic spells. It is a rare and unique magic that was recognized by the Sorcery Emperor himself.
*Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked Lightless Slash: Channeling his magic into his katana, Yami swings his blade, unleashing a dark arc of energy that absorbs other attacks and retains the same sharpness as an edged weapon.
**Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked Lightless Blade Storm: Yami coats their sword in Dark Magic and swings it in a disorderly fashion, creating multiple Dark Cloaked Avidya Slashes.
**Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked Black Blade: By coating his katana with darkness, Yami can increase the range and power of his swings.
**Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked Black Blade Blunt Slash: Yami coats a sword in darkness and extends the blade by shaping the darkness. Then he swings the blade wide and pushes a target back with the blunt side of the sword.
**Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked Lightless Blunt Strike: Yami coats his sword with Dark Magic, goes behind their target, and strikes the target's nape with the back of their sword. The blow is strong enough to knock the target unconscious, and since it is done with the blunt side of the sword, the target is not grievously injured.
**Dark Magic: Black Cocoon: Yami creates a spherical shell of darkness around themselves. The sphere can also be used as a means of transport.
**Dark Magic: Black Hole: Yami creates a singularity of darkness that draws in incoming projectile attacks, nullifying them in the process, but is limited by the singularity's small size.
**Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked Dimension Slash: A powerful slash that cuts through "dimensions" (space) itself, which Yami described as being able to cut through anything. Yami developed this attack as he was trapped and pushed to the brink watching his men fight a battle to the death.
**Mana Zone: Dark Cloaked Dimension Slash: Equinox: Greater version of Dark Cloaked Dimension Slash, extending its range and reach.
**Mana Zone: Black Moon: Yami takes control of the surrounding mana and then creates a Black Hole overhead, expanding the range of its absorption over a defined area. Yami is also able to discriminate what gets absorbed by the spell, such as erasing an opponent's spell while leaving an ally's spell unaffected.
**Mana Zone Condense: Dark Cloaked Iai Slash: Yami sheathes his sword, condenses the area of Black Moon's effect, and waits for his opponent to attack. Once the opponent is in range, Yami coats his sword in darkness, quickly draws the blade, and dashes forward, slashing the opponent across the stomach.
**Dark Magic: Death Thrust: Yami condenses the effect of Black Moon even further than his standard Mana Zone: Condense, focusing it onto one spot. He then thrusts his sword forward, creating a focused blast that's powerful enough to completely blow away 80% Dante's torso.
**Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked Deep Black Blade: By coating his blade with darkness, Yami can increase the range and power of his swings greater than Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked Black Blade.
* Dark Magic x Shadow Magic: Kids' Playground: With Mana Zone at full power, Yami and Nacht can create a spell that encompasses a large area with dark constructs used to hide themselves and allies from the enemy. This spell also creates multiple waves of dark clones that resemble Yami and Nacht to attack the enemy. Tactically, it is used to sneak up on enemies while the clones act as a distraction.
Ki: Having been raised in the Eastern lands, Yami can read the natural energy given off by human beings to predict their next attacks, granting him a pseudo-sixth sense for danger and enhancing his reaction speed.
Mana Zone: Offensively, the mana could be funneled into spells to increase their size and number. It could also be used to launch attacks from all-around, within, or behind a target. Defensively, the mana could be used to augment Mana Skin and other Reinforcement Magic spells, allowing for the prediction of enemies' attacks and for moving in mid-air.
Reinforcement Magic: Yami uses this magic to increase his physical abilities, such as speed, defense and attack force.
*Mana Skin: Basic technique for every mage that increases their durability by coating their body with their own Magic Power.
Restraining Magic: Is a form of magic that allows the users to immobilize their opponents.
*Dark Restraining Magic: Dark Binding - Yami creates ropes made of darkness which wrap around the target, restricting their movements and magic.
Note: Kids' Playground can only be used alongside Nacht.
