## Profile

### Identity

Berserker's true identity is **Musubi**, the main female protagonist of the manga/anime series Sekirei. She is designated Sekirei #88 and is the first to be winged by Minato Sahashi. She is a fist-type Sekirei. Musubi bears an uncanny resemblance to Yume, the Sekirei of Fate and a former member of the Discipline Squad. It is revealed that, in the past, she saved Musubi's life by implanting her soul inside her. It is Musubi's goal to carry on Yume's wish and free all Sekirei, with the help of Minato and his other Sekirei.

She met Minato while literally falling out of the sky and was moved by his kindness. This caused her Sekirei Crest to react to him. Due to this, she and Minato became involved in a tournament organized by the MBI Corperation, called Sekirei Plan, which forces them to fight with other Sekirei in the capital in order to protect themselves and the ones they care about.

### Appearance

Musubi is a fair-skinned young woman of average height and slender build. She sports a very developed and curvaceous body with a slim waist and flared hips. She has brown eyes and brown hair. Her hair is hime-styled; it has short bangs, chin-length strands surrounds her head and framing her face, a single antenna-like strands that hangs just above her head, and hip-length hair at the nape of her neck. Her most noticeable physical trait is her firm and well-endowed chest which is the second largest of all Sekirei, only behind Kazehana.

Her normal attire is a white gi with red string decorating it that resemble the traditional clothing worn by the miko with the addition of a short red skirt, mid-calf brown boots, and upper thigh-high white stockings. She also wears a pair of red combat gloves that she only takes off for more social events.

A running gag in the story is about how her clothing always ends up torn and tattered every time she fights, which usually results in a scary speech about manners and modesty from Asama Miya.

### Personality

Musubi is very cheerful and carefree to the point of not having any concept of modesty, as she routinely appears either under dressed or with little or no attempt to cover her exposed breasts. She is very naive but insightful, often saying things she does not understand, and is probably the most 'childish' of Minato's Sekirei, even more so than Kusano. She is very eager when it comes into confronting other Sekirei but never fails to be polite as she would usually ask for permission first before fighting them. Musubi is almost always smiling, even when she is upset or angry.

She develops a inner visage in the form of a ferocious bear that appears behind her whenever she is jealous or angry. The reason given is because she is Miya's disciple. Partly thanks to the inner visage, she has earned the nickname bear (Kuma) given by Tsukiumi, by Benitsubasa (during the third stage after witnessing her visage) and by the fact of this visage being obviously a bear. While Miya uses the Demonic Visage, Musubi uses the "Bear Visage". Another reference of it is when she and Tsukiumi protect both Minato and Kagari after the kiss.

Musubi is very loyal and keeps her word to the point of trying to fulfill it. It has been seen in her battle with Karasuba; to fight and live until they remain the last Sekirei on the battlefield, and Yume; when kidnapped with No.87 Kaho, they swore to Yume that they'd find and be winged by the person they love, and become stronger than anyone else, and when one of them becomes the "last one", the last one would release the Sekirei who had lost their wings back into the freedom of the skies.

Beyond that information, she also has a rivalry with Tsukiumi over who Minato's legal wife is. This rivalry consists mostly of shopping contests to decide who is allowed to sit next to him during meals, which Musubi has never lost once. With the others, she just competes to become closer with her Ashikabi.

Musubi is also known in Izumo Inn for being a glutton, eating large amounts of food and is apparently a capable cook, although she has only ever been seen cooking curry. Miya's nickname for Musubi is "Natural Big Meals Eater".

## Abilities

Her abilities classify Musubi as a close combat type, specifically a "fist-type"; using raw might and unarmed combat skills to fight. As such, she relies on punches, kicks, throws and other grappling, and acrobatics. While initially very unpolished and full of openings, her constant training with Miya has dramatically improved her fighting skills. Karasuba, one of the strongest Sekirei, believes that in time Musubi will far surpass Yume, a Sekirei that considerably outmatched Karasuba herself. During Benitsubasa's second fight against Musubi, the other Sekirei was quickly overpowered to the point it was suggested she use her Norito against Musubi.

In addition to constantly improved combat skills, Musubi has repeatedly demonstrated remarkable raw strength, speed, and agility. She also showed equally impressive stamina and endurance. Despite taking several hits to her head and torso from Benitsubasa during their first fight, Musubi quickly stood back up unfazed, greatly surprising Benitsubasa.

While most of Musubi's attacks consist of punches and kicks, Musubi has begun to produce and exude pink energy through some of her attacks and a pink aura through her Norito, able to produce amplified, energy-based attacks. This energy is the same energy that Yume, #08, had been known to use. It is classified as photonic energy, essentially the power of light. It is heavily implied that this is a result of Yume's Tama merging with Musubi due to the strength of Musubi's connections with Minato and his other Sekirei, something Yume wanted both for herself and the young girl she saved.

Musubi was temporarily able to use the powers of Minato's other Sekirei in her battle with Miya on Kouten, such as Tsukiumi's water and Kazehana's wind.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Kuma no Te (Bear Palm); "Bear's Demolating Force"**

A strong photokinetic palm strike, used with acquiring strong energy into one's palm hand and releasing it with full force that can cause destruction on anythhing that it comes across, oblitirating anything it comes across.

#### **Kuma Ryūsei; "Bear's Catastrophic Strike"**

The Kuma Ryūsei is a very powerful punch that can leave a huge impact on the object that it strikes. This Noble Phantasm can be activate by Musubi using her Norito for the second Prayer.

"These are the fists of my pledge. Crush the catastrophe before my Ashikabi!"

By the time tbe prayer is complete, and she calls out her attack, she unleashes a punch that is so strong that it destroyed the junction where they were fighting, sending someone flying away with the force and can leave a devasting impact when in contact with her target.

#### **Tama of #08 Yume; "The Core of the #08 Sekirei"**

The Tama (or Aramitama) is a component for the Sekirei's body also referred to as the Sekirei Soul, Sekirei Core or Sekirei Spirit. It's their core/nucleus/spiritual force planted inside them which enables Sekirei to live and make use of their powers, so in essence it is the life of a Sekirei itself, if a Sekirei loses their Tama or if it shuts downs, they will ceases to function.

Musubi possess the #08 Tama of Yume, which was given to her by the later years ago, meaning that the Sekireis can trades Tamas with others in order to freely switch bodies with the chosen Sekierei without the other having to die. Yume's Tama is a rare "Paired Sekirei Core", that has properties of both a typical Sekirei Core and an Ashikabi core, not only does it mean that Musubi doens't had to be winged, with a "soul not meant to bond with anyone." If Musubi activates this, calling upon Yume's Tama can give her more power to protect her allies, the ability regenerate others and control her Kouten without her Ashikabi needing to stay to assist her.

Sometimes Yume can take over and control Musubi's body even when Musubi was incapacitated. During her control, a tattoo appears on Musubi's stomach and her eyes will show yin/yang symbol. The tattoo that appears may actually be her activated second crest. Yume's power seems more compatible with Musubi, as her super strength and powers brought more power to her arsenal and blast her opponents away with her photokinetic powers. The Noble Phantasm also has Yume be able restore Musubi's crest when it is destroyed. Meaning that Musubi will still continue to fight if this can happen numerous times, that is unless she is outright killed for good.
