Immortality

**Kuro** (クロ), or **Sloth** (怠惰*, Taida*), is the Devil of Sloth. He is the oldest of the seven Devils.

## Personality

Being the Devil of Sloth, Kuro spends his time sleeping, lazing around or playing video games. He feels no shame in running away to avoid any trouble and refuses to make decisions, since he doesn't want anything to be his fault, and doesn't want to disappoint anyone.

Despite his lazy and at times comical nature (comical due to his laziness and arguments with Ziel), he is shown to have a dark side. This is shown whenever anyone try to bring up his past that involves him killing Koriko, Ziel's former lover. The mere mention of his past is enough to make Kuro who is usually nonchalant to become aggressive. He views himself as a monster, a fact that he dislikes, which caused him to refuse finding out more about his own race as it'll prove further how much of a monster he and his siblings are. He also refuse to turn any humans into devils to make them his subclass, saying that they probably didn't want to become devils, and that devils shouldn't even exist.

Ziel's straightforwardness and sincerity started to influence Kuro, though he always hides it by feigning being uninterested and lazy as always.

He also prides himself in his cat form, often referring himself as a cute pet or super cute cat and such.

## Powers and Abilities

**Transformation**: Kuro can change into a black cat and into his human form at will. He can also speak when he is in his cat form. It is later revealed that he can turn into a giant lion, though Kuro states that it took huge amount of energy to change into his lion form.

**Claws**: He can extend his nails into long, sharp black claws, easily able to cut and skewer people and other devils.

**Speed and Flight**: He is shown to have incredible speed and can jump high very easily, also shown that he is able to fly.

**Endurance**: Since he is immortal, he can't die. But, he heals very quickly and he was still able to fight even when he was stabbed through with a sword and still stood protecting Ziel when she was being slashed at back and forth by knives.

**Inner Power**: When his control of his power was gone, he was much more faster, powerful, and ruthless; also unaware of what he is doing.

**Jacket Tails**: He can harden, move and use the tails at the end of his jacket to fight. From this jacket, he can also produces black spikes that stabs through his enemies.
