Jisuk Yoo

**Jisuk Yoo** **(유지석** *Yu Ji-Seog***)** is one of the main characters in the manhwa, *Eleceed.* He is the younger brother of Jiyoung Yoo, the head of Shinhwa Association. He is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, awakened person in his age group in South Korea. There are only 3 other teenage awakeners in Korea that are able to rival him, adding Wooin as well. Like his sister, his main ability is Aerokinesis. He has attended the Awakened Academy as a representative of Shinhwa Association.

## Background

Jisuk is the little brother of Jiyoung Yoo and is one of the strongest awakeners in his age group. He is affiliated in Shinhwa Association. When he was a child, he was lonely because everyone put him at such a high pedestal for being very talented. He beat Stage 3 in the awakeners test when he was but a child, which was apparently astonishing in the awakened world as Stage 3 was something that was even difficult for adults to pass.

During an unknown time, Jisuk's parents were deceased, which left him in a difficult childhood. With his sister, Jiyoung, taking place as CEO of Shinhwa Association, the other awakened members attempted to encourage Jisuk to fight his own sister since they thought that Jiyoung was unfit as a CEO. This led to Jisuk getting involved in constant fights with others, eventually isolating himself from other awakened members and any formal event.

He has never had friends that stood up for him before Jiwoo or even had anyone around that he could call a friend. The "friends" he previously had used him for his money. They also used his name as a way to collect money from kids in other schools. He is seen by the teachers as a delinquent.

It is also mentioned by Inhyuk and Jaehyuk that Jisuk didn't participate in most of awakened meetings and that he used to cause lots of troubles in the past that even his own sister had to put him in punishment.

## Appearance

Jisuk Yoo has straight white hair that covers the rest of the tightly shaved black head with green-gray eyes. His complexion is naturally quite tanned. He has a very tall and muscular build and is around the same height as Wooin. His school uniform is similar to Wooin's and Jiwoo's with matching grey blazer, a light blue tie, a white polo shirt and sneakers. He mostly keeps his shirt untucked.

His academy uniform consists of a black track jacket with red trim, black track pants and sneakers.

For his casual wear, Jisuk was first seen wearing a grey sweater with a white line on the left sleeve and dark gray draw pants. It's shown that Jisuk frequently wears sweaters and draw pants pairing it with sport shoes. At one point, he has been seen wearing a black hoodie with red trims and a white shirt underneath it. He wore black sweat pants along with purple and blue sport shoes.

## Personality

He's a rebellious person with a short temper. He's arrogant and likes to fight, even though he rarely has to try to win. He's lazy and likes to skip classes as he will not do things if he finds them bothersome. He doesn't listen to anyone except his sister. He's also been described as an a\*\*hole on multiple occasions.

However, after being friends with Jiwoo, he stands up for people he cares about and doesn't bully those who he sees as weaker than him. In fact, Jisuk now actively tries to prevent bullying by teaching bullies in the Awakened Academy a lesson. Jisuk will fight anyone who bullies or messes with Jiwoo. He still enjoys fighting others and figuring out 'the ranks'. Jisuk follows only those who he deems are stronger than him and if he underestimates a strong individual, he attempts to make up and treat them as a king, shown when Kayden's cat form quickly immobilized one of the Klein brothers, Jisuk immediately attempts to butter up Kayden's cat form through treats and toys and treats Kayden's form with great respect. Jisuk is also good at coming up with excuses on the spot, which he learned after years of defending his fights. Jisuk can also be childish (when he named his kick "knee kick of reckoning"), impulsive, violent, loyal and brave.

## Abilities and Fighting Prowess

Jisuk's main ability is wind manipulation. However, Jisuk also has great combat ability as shown when he quickly dodges Jiwoo's punches. He can manipulate the wind to move quickly like Jiwoo and can expel wind from his hands to fight his opponent. He has a great sense of perception and can analyze the enemy.

**Aerokinesis**: Jisuk is able to control wind. He is able to create tornados and whirlwinds. He can also manipulate wind fluently enough to use it as a wall or an acting force field around him to minimize any damage. He has quite a strong control of his ability as shown when he was able to hold himself off against the Klein Brothers. However, he is still weaker than Inhyuk Goo and Jiyoung.

**Superhuman Speed**: Using his wind ability, Jisuk can increase his movement speed. However, not only he cannot reach Jiwoo's full potential speed, but it also becomes his weakness as his ability is divided, causing his attacking strength to decrease.

**Enhanced Durability**: Most broken bones and severe injuries would be critical to the average human, but since he is an awakened one most of these injuries are not serious. Awakened ones can recover in no time.

**Enhanced Strength**: As he is an awakened one it is safe to assume that he is physically strong.

Jisuk is ranked as one of the five most powerful awakened ones of his age group. The other four are Subin, Sucheon, Gangseok, and Wooin. Jiwoo is also tentatively included in this group.
