**Itsuki Bardis** *(バーディス樹 Itusuki Bādisu)* lit. **Mystic Tactician ITSUKI** is the future incantation of the real Jason Dante Bardis from the Infernoverse. Appearing in *Dragoma Inferno The Bardis Chronicles*, he is assigned to be a higher ranked Grandmaster Tactician / Sorcerer, possessing the powers of the Mystic arts to open Flaming Gear portals across the Infernoverse and summon the Divine Kami through various spells in Japanese.

## Profile

Itsuki was born and raised in Irvine, CA, where he grew up with studying nature. His innovation in combat robotics brought him to step into the world of forging weapons with composite materials. Similar to Jason Ryuzaki Bardis, he attended USCB to fabricate composite materials for his presentations. After an appointed position as a judge in *BattleBots*, his fascination over magic and robots landed him at a heart therapy job at *Edwards Lifesciences*. Married to Michelle Izumi, they adopted both Alex and Katherine Tsukino, teaching them the ways of magic in all aspects across the Infernoverse.

Itsuki is subscribed as a Shinroist after discovering the power of mystic arts and magic deep within the Infernoverse. His formal views as an ordinary judge transcends into the *Dies Infernum* lore, most notably transcribed into The *Tome of Infernum* and the Fusion Nut's time gear, The Gear of Infernum. *The Book of the Rising Sun. Astronomia Nova. The Codex Imperium. Key of Solomon.* The book allows Bardis to practice his beliefs by regular meditation and influential teachings. The powers drawn from the Gear of Infernum gives him the ability to conjure Flaming Gear portals with a swift hand gesture.

Apart from the Gear of Infernum, his digital purple cape, Sozu has the ability make him levitate and soar over any terrain. The cape can morph mainly into a dragon, becoming his personal sidekick. It can also turn into an ottoman chair during tea time, or any other object according to it's surroundings.

### Dragoma Inferno The Bardis Chronicles

Itsuki first appears in the movie as 'Present!Jason', driving home from work with a Crimson Lotus air freshener suspended from the rearview mirror. His Hyundai Genesis strikes Past!Jason to the ground. The two later learn about themselves with Present!Jason aiding him to formulate a code back at the Wakefield Sanctorum. When the code goes awry, it flashes them to Zenin where they meet Dante.

### *Academy Infernolab!*

Itsuki is assigned as a spiritual teacher of the academy, training a new set of students into the fray against demons spawning from Zenin's opposite realms across the Infernoverse.

### *Attack on Zenin*

Itsuki appears in the *Attack on Titan* crossover manga where he advises both the Infernolab and the Royal Dragon Order about the Ragnavatar Titans across Zenin. He conducts a special spell that has the ability to freeze the titans in place all except for the Beserker Titan.

### *Likes and Dislikes*

**Likes:** dragons, magic, spiritual meditation, tinkering with LEGO, reading novels, calligraphy, eating Zaru Soba noodles, sipping on Gyokuro tea, and Kirin Ichiban beer.

**Dislikes:** Water (element), the Trinity / Saint Dragon lore (firmly believes that Ryujin and Shinrya created Exivus and everything in it was filled with their heavenly breath), losing in a fight against his enemies.

## Shifter Based Inspiration

Itsuki Bardis is highly inspired by Marvel's *Doctor Strange*. Almost identical with their abilities in the mystic arts, they both wear special amulets (Eye of Agamotto / The Gear of Infernum) and are able to bend / warp time and space. Strange's Cloak of Levitation and Itsuki's cape, Sozu share the same ability to levitate.

## Trivia

* Appearance wise, he shares similarities to Yuji Ryuzaki.
* His Sorcerer outfit shares the same color scheme as Yuji's battle yaginara.
* One of Itsuki's items, a wooden cabinet, can be seen in the chamber room of the Wakefield Sanctorum. This is a brief nod towards the wooden cabinet by the same name created by *The Infernolab Enterprises.*
