Fubuki Azuma

**Fubuki Azuma** (東(あずま)風舞希(ふぶき), *Azuma Fubuki*) is a member of the Anti-Demon Corps and is the 9th Unit's Chief. She is the mother of several daughters such as Yachiho and Himari Azuma. Winning against her youngest daughter during the Azuma Banquet to decide the new Azuma Family Leader, Fubuki was the victor, thus succeeding her mother.

## Appearance

Fubuki is a beautiful and buxom woman with dark blue eyes and long dark blue hair that has a single braid rolled around the back of her head.

She is often dressed in the usual Anti-Demon Corps uniform with the upper portion of her breast being viewed, a pelvic curtain, thigh boots, and long gloves.

## Personality

From her first appearance, she is shown to be a calm, respectful and ambitious woman, holding a great deal of pride in the Azuma Household as she had desired the Commanders' seat simply because multiple members of her family once held the position of Commander.

As a perfectionist, Fubuki is rather critical about results, praising all her oldest daughters for their talents and feats as Demon Hunters and criticizing her youngest daughter who she views as a failure for not matching her older sisters.

Whenever Himari is concerned, Fubuki has no maternal feelings toward her daughter, going as far as to state she'd even "put her down" if she continued dragging their family name through the dirt, a threat that Himari knew was genuine.

Although Fubuki is really strict, deep down Fubuki cared for her family as she was aware of how harmful Toberas' method were towards the younger generations of their family. Upon becoming the new head of their household, Fubuki stated she will utilize love when handling the members of both branch and main member of their clan.

Despite performing indecent duties ranging from massaging Yuuki to letting him eat honey off her breasts and showing off her near naked body, Fubuki maintains her usual calm, if not softer expression, granting him a reward and encouraging her youngest daughter to do the same. She got her boldness from her mother.

## Background

Fubuki hails from the Azuma Family, who became successful in the Demon Corps, then at some point, she married a man and had three daughters.

## Powers and Abilities

### Overview

Like all other women, Fubuki attained a unique power having devoured one of the peaches from Mato. As one of the Anti-Demon Corps' Chiefs, she is much more powerful than normal Demon Hunters and as such is one of the strongest women in the organization. Befitting the 9th Unit Chief, Fubuki has the highest authority among the 9th Unit. A testament to her strength, she was capable of defeating a Shuuki horde in the same amount of time that it took Yuuki to transform into a Slave. Fubuki is also a highly intelligent fighter as she pointed out how Yuuki and Kyouka were vulnerable while switching forms by seizing Yuuki's chain during their sparring in Shangri-La.

Against Himari and Yuuki in "Whirlwind: Sky", Fubuki used simply 10% power to overpower both of them in two different fights, stating that a Vice-Chief's strength is worth 30% of hers.

### Peach Blessing

**Sunset** (太陽を穿つ槍(サンセット), *Sansetto*, lit. "Sun-Piercing Spear"): Fubuki's Peach Blessing, which allows her to summon a Yari spear out of thin air that has a symbol resembling the sun on the spearhead capable of extending and retracting at will. After hearing about and seeing it for the first time, Yuuki described it was simple yet strong. She is noted to have full control over Sunset's power, using whatever percent she requires to fight against her opponent. It is said that the longer her spear gets, the stronger her body.

* **Man-Spring** (無窮の鎖(スレイブ)・肉(にく)弾(にく), *Sureibu: Nikudan*, lit. "Eternal Chain: Meat Bullet): The Slave Form, which Yuuki assumes after **Fubuki**, acted as his Master, causing him to assume a burlier and bulkier form, where he has elastic limbs, allowing him to build up more momentum for attacks, and makes him nigh-invulnerable when it comes to blunt attacks.

### Physical Abilities

**Master Spearwoman:** Fubuki is a masterful spear wielder, capable of using precise and fast strikes with subtle motions; to the point that Yuuki almost couldn't handle them in his "Whirlwind: Sky" before overpowering him, all while still holding back. A single swipe from Sunset handling multiple missiles, using at most 10% power, instead of spinning it to defend.

**Bodywork Intuition:** She has a deep understanding of bodywork, performing a massage that reinvigorated Yuuki, who was still recovering from the aftereffects of using Killer Fang. It is pointed out that she can gain a deep understanding of a person's entire musculature from touching them.

**Immense Strength:** While only utilizing a small portion of power from Sunset, Fubuki can still deliver devastating blows that can easily defeat Yuuki in his Slave Form meanwhile dealing damage to the surroundings.

**Enhanced Speed:** While the full extent of her mobility is still unseen, Fubuki has shown incredible reflexes, almost to the point of being able to defend from all types of attacks and ambush. She is able to outrun Tenka's space portals with ease.
