Yogiri Takatou

## Summary

**Yogiri Takatou** is the main protagonist of the *Instant Death* series and a high school student who got transported to another world by a woman called Sion. After being abandoned to die by his classmates for being powerless, and asleep, alongside Tomochika, Ayaka Shinozaki and an extra classmate they are quickly attacked by a wyvern and presumed dead.

Unbeknownst to his classmates and the "all powerful" sages that summoned him, Yogiri already possessed a special and powerful ability before being summoned into another world that can instantly kill anything with a single thought regardless of how illogical it may seem for the ability to work. Despite his powerful ability, he is incapable of achieving the goal of returning home with it and thus he makes his way through the new world in order to find a way back home. Through the story, we slowly learn of Yogiri's true nature. An eldritch horror type being who for unknown reasons manifested himself as Yogiri back in the old world.

Martial Arts, Weapon Mastery, Immortality (Types 4, 7 and 9. If Yogiri dies, he will reincarnate into a new vessel. Yogiri isn't human nor even a living thing.

Yoshifumi could not get new abilities or weapons, from his Reactive Evolution when facing Yogiri.), Power Nullification (No nullification ability ever affected his powers. One who is familiar with his powers stated that nullification of his power isn't worth thinking about. Yogiri stated his power is irreversible. A nigh-omniscient technology stated there is nothing that can be done when Yogiri's ability is activated.), Fate Manipulation (Yukimasa's ability of rewriting the future at will didn't work on Yogiri.), Causality Manipulation (The HRE failed to overturn the decided event that is his death due to Yogiri's ability, even after making it so that event should have not happened.

Exists outside the system of the heavenly records and space-time. It is imperceptible / incomprehensible even from the point of view of acausal beings such as the HRE, and is stated to be beyond fate, plot and causality itself. Additionally, its attacks are also not attached to causality due to its nature.), Absorption (UEG is melted into his darkness)

**Attack Potency:** **Athlete level** (Yogiri is exceptionally athletic and was given martial arts training from Tomochika.), **Hyperverse level** with powers (Even at his avatar state, he is capable of channeling the power of the true form to attack, with both acting in tandem with each other.

**Weaknesses:** Yogiri's ability doesn't instantly activate against people he cares for | None notable

**Feats:**

* Yogiri can kill specific body parts of a person's body
* Yogiri can kill everyone in a certain direction from himself
* Yogiri can use his power in a way that makes the target die after a few seconds if he wants to. He also explains that his power is irreversible
* Yogiri can use his power however he wants as long as it leads to the death of the one it was used upon, and he also mentions that his power is irreversible once activated.
* Yogiri’s ability does not negate the regeneration, but instead negates the regaining of their functions trough any method. Ex: If Yogiri kills someone’s ears they can cut them off and regenerate them perfectly but they still won’t be able to hear, not even trough telepathy.
* Yogiri “kills” a dog man’s eyes, ears, and nose; negating the senses that go along with them. No amount of healing magic was useful, and the dog-man is completely unable to communicate with others or grasp aspects of the world, even telepathy is effectively negated...
* Analyze skill can't detect Yogiri's abilities
* "Killing intent" is a rather lacking description for his powers, since he actually can sense/predict any hazards towards his life
* Yogiri's can see hazards in the form of shadows which allows him to know where attacks were going to land, the source of the danger or the trajectory of the attack.
* Yogiri’s Instant Death “killed” Lisa’s ice magic, completely negating it, and he also “killed” her magic staff causing it to shatter to pieces.
* Yogiri can kill clothes
* Yogiri killed Lain’s true body through the indirect connection Lain’s B existence had with Lain’s (main) existence who’s existence was reliant on her real body which was located in a completely different dimension.
* Yogiri only leads towards one future and his opponent could not attack within time stop because they would get him killed trough killing intent.
* Yogiri can kill barriers
* Yogiri’s ability reacts to the Heavenly Record Eater’s killing intent and causes that the death of the avatar of the Heavenly Record Eater to become a decided future.
* Yogiri kills an undead
* Yogiri’s ability kills an entire battalion of undead monsters and people with “immunity” to Instant Death.
* Yogiri inadvertently killed the sealed Devil and his passive miasma
* Yogiri can kill inanimate objects
* Yogiri kills the tower’s ability to suction spirits.
* Yogiri's existence is protected by Fate
* Narration states that Yogiri can kill any existence or phenomena
* Heavily hinted that Yogiri is the incarnated phenomena of death.
* Aoi states that Yogiri is not a living being
* Yogiri causes Aoi to fall into despair, her internals organs to twist, and her sanity be lost when she tries to look trough the flow of Fate. She immediately surrendering despite her ability, as all futures lead to Yogiri’s victory.
* Vahanato was instinctively afraid of Yogiri and would not take aim at him with her light attacks despite her having lost all of her sanity.
* Yogiri's ability is beyond the normal flow of time and beyond fate
* More about Yogiri's ability
* Yogiri is capable of killing the immortal ruler of life and death, someone on whom the concept of death should not even apply to

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* **Instant Death:** Instant Death is Yogiri’s ability to kill anything with a single thought, although he usually says something like “die” along with it, it’s actually stated and shown to be thought based on multiple occasions as he can also activate it along anything else such as "you're the eyesore". It has been noted that what phenomena occurs after he targets an object to kill it is dependent on Yogiri's cognition of the death, for example, a door's purpose being that of blocking the way into another room, so it only becomes logical that if the door dies it will allow him to cross the entrance, however this is something that Yogiri does not actively do when using his ability as it occurs by itself. Despite the name of the ability it is not necessarily instantaneous if Yogiri decides to not make it so as there is some leeway as to when his targets can die as long as they do die. Seemingly connected to the nature of instant death, Yogiri's perception of the world shows him any hostility directed at him or his allies or just plain hazards and use that to track enemies he would not normally be capable of detecting, predict and sense their movements/thought patterns, or automatically retaliate with the activation of instant death.
	+ **Partial Killing:** Yogiri can kill specific limbs or the organs of his targets if he wants, such as their senses (looking, hearing, smelling), arms, legs, fingers, hands, etc. It should be noted that even if you cut off the affected limb and try to regenerate/heal it, said limb will still be affected by his ability, and thus wont ever function again.
* **Killing Intent, Precognition and Black Lines of Death:** Yogiri can sense and foresee any incoming danger that might harm him or his allies beforehand, being able to quickly kill the cause or just dodge from said harm flawlessly. Moreover, he can also see black lines/fogs on people or places, which indicates that there is potential danger involved with said things. This allows him to essentially sense and/or see hazards to his life before they happen.
* **Gates:** Due to wanting to be as human as possible, Yogiri constantly restrains his power with gates that are locked around within his mind. Each gate (when unlocked) leads Yogiri to a new phase, and each phase greatly amplifies his power. The exact number of gates is currently unknown, but it's stated to be "several".
