Warrior Takemikazuchi

**Warrior Takemikazuchi** (ワリオル•建御雷) is a guild member of Ainz Ooal Gown and regarded as one of the Forty-One Supreme Beings by the NPCs of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. He is the creator of Cocytus.

## Appearance

Warrior Takemikazuchi is a Nephilim that wears a set of dark red samurai armor. His horns are of an uneven length, resembling the crescent moon crest on the *kabuto* of famous samurai Date Masamune. He is armed with a *katana* whose hilt is similar to his armor

## Personality

Warrior Takemikazuchi is a risk taker and wants to enjoy the game to the fullest during his time as a clan member of the Nine's Own Goal in YGGDRASIL. He is also described to be competitive, seemingly viewing Touch Me as his own rival who he wants to do battle against.

## Background

    Warrior Takemikazuchi was one of the original members who founded Nine's Own Goal. During his time in YGGDRASIL, Nishikienrai joined Nine's Own Goal and was one of the earliest clan members in it. When it got disbanded by clan master Touch Me, he would participate in the founding of a new guild alongside former clansmen, ending up to be one of the 27 members to have become part of Ainz Ooal Gown.

He was among the candidates that was selected by Punitto Moe to work in Momonga's Party. He plays a role in helping his guild members successfully conquered the Great Tomb of Nazarick. After the conquest, he would end up creating the NPC Cocytus during his stay in Nazarick. As a warrior, he happened to admire Touch Me’s strength and considered him to be his greatest rival. Also, Warrior Takemikazuchi had a hobby of making weapons for his character to use in battle. Particularly, he hopes to make the kind of weapon that can help him defeat his rival, Touch Me.

However, before Warrior Takemikazuchi could complete the weapon, he suffered the tragedy of losing his greatest rival who quit the game. In the end, his ultimate weapon (still incomplete) was later placed on display in the Treasury. Before Takemikazuchi logged out for the last time, he gave his sword God Slaying Emperor Blade to his creation, Cocytus as a farewell gift.

### Touch Me

Warrior Takemikazuchi considered Touch Me his greatest rival and was forging a weapon with the aim of defeating him.

## Trivia

* Ainz Ooal Gown was named from the combined suggestions of Warrior Takemikazuchi and Punitto Moe.
* Aside from Momonga, Warrior Takemikazuchi was implied to have also done battle with Touch Me and lost that too.
* It is presumed that based on his character sheet, Warrior Takemikazuchi has most likely chosen to quit playing the game right after his rival, Touch Me left.
* During his YGGDRASIL exploring career, when Nishikienrai found a geyser that gushed water at regular intervals, Warrior Takemikazuchi and Bukubukuchagama believed it to be a common game gimmick and that the geyser could propel a player in the air to a hidden scaffold. However it turn out just to be only hot water, causing Nishikienrai to suffer damage to his game avatar.

## Quotes

* (To his Guild Members): *"Well, I'm not going to say Touch-san is wrong or that he’s cowardly, but dungeon delves that he plans aren’t really exciting. I still want to take part in this foolish expedition and flail around like an idiot. Momonga-san, you’re the best. I knew picking you as Guildmaster was the right choice."*
* (To his Guild Members): *"This is a game. A game. A total party kill is just part of the fun. After all, Nine’s Own Goal was a clan founded by fools. Why do you think the clan was named that way? Didn’t we all do foolish things in the past? Humanoids mocked us for fools, while our fellow heteromorphic players hated us for doing unnecessary things. We only became more respectable after our numbers increased. Actually, no, do you remember how the first World-Class Item we found got snatched away? And I’ll say again, Touch Me did nothing wrong. But… but I still want to mess around like a fool again."*
* (To Momonga): *"I came here because this was what I wanted to do. I couldn’t ask for anything more. I’ve always wanted to predict the foe’s tactics in a battle with no clear means of victory. Plus, if I’m backed up by you guys, that move of mine might..."*
