Fukuma

## Debut

**Fukuma** (ふくま, Fukuma) is one of the Hachiraishin, consisting of the so-called Gods who rule over the Shuuki.

After her defeat against the members of the 8th Unit, she and Kuusetsu resides in Yuuki Wakura's mental world.

## Appearance

As a shapeshifter, Fukuma's actual appearance is unknown and she assumes the forms of multiple women, often the inversion of their skin tone, hair color, and clothing. However, she is capable of matching their skin tone and color when pretending to be them.

## Personality

Like the other members of the Eight Thunder God, Fukuma looks down on and underestimates humans, believing herself to be superior to their species. She, in particular, has a high amount of confidence in her abilities, which allows her to assume the form of others among the Anti-Demon Corps. Despite this, Fukuma takes her responsibilities serious, spying and learning about the people whose identities she assumes in an attempt to deceive their allies. Although she is opportunist, she is perceptive enough to realize when a plan won't work in her favor in the end.

However, as the second youngest member, Fukuma can often be childish and has a habit of lashing out when things don't go the way she intends, as shown in her fight with Varvara.

## Powers and Abilities

### Overview

As one of the Eight Thunder Gods, Fukuma is one of the eight strongest Shuuki, considered one of the "Gods" in Mato. As a testament to this, she would have killed most of the members of the 7th and 8th Unit had Himari not rewinded back time.

### Shuuki Powers

**Shapeshifting:** Her main ability appears to be altering and changing her appearance at will, assuming the exact form of people, to the point of having their clothing. For an unknown reason, Fukuma most often assumes the form of Ren, but has taken the form of Varvara, Bell, and Kyouka. Most often, her transformations are imperfect, in that the colors she assumes are the originals' negative contrasts. For example, whereas Ren has light skin and black hair, Fukuma has dark skin and light hair. However, as shown when she neutralized Bell, she can match their skin tone and hair color, becoming a perfect replica of the original. This, however, isn't perfect, as Yuuki noted her body and skin feels different from the original. In addition to this, she has full command of her bodily shape and volume, essentially being able to change herself into anything she wants. She is also capable of reducing her size, turning her body into a minuscule figure to evade any attacks that come her way.

* **Phase-shifting:** Her defensive ability in which she can alter the matter of her body, turning it into liquid-like substance which quickly adapts to any form of attacks that penetrate her.

* **Weapon Creation:** She can alter the shape of her body and turn it into deadly weapons like blades, easily slicing through the bodies of her opponents.

* **Cloning:** Fukuma can create copies of herself to fight in her stead, through a process almost similar to fission, which reduces her actual strength, but the clones are powerful enough to overwhelm the boosted members of the 8th Unit.

**Electricity Manipulation:** She can unleash a powerful electricity from her Halo.

**Enhanced Strength:** Fukuma possesses considerable strength, capable of piercing through Bell Tsukiyono's chest without any effort.

**Immense Endurance:** Befitting her status as a Thunder God, Fukuma has shown astonishing resiliency. She remained unaffected after being hit with deadly blows from Varvara in which the latter was shocked of how formidable the God was.

**Transformation:** Like the other Thunder Gods, Fukuma is evidently capable of transforming into a significantly stronger "Full Power" form. However, Fukuma requires her body to be free in order to transform, as seen in her battle with Varvara where she was unable to transform due to most of her body being frozen, which ultimately led to her defeat.

### Techniques

**Divine Messenger Transformation:** A technique in which she breaks off larges pieces of herself, manifesting them in the shape of various animals (specifically a deer, an octopus, a bird, and a fox). These animal-like extensions of her can then attack her opponent. In her battle against Varvara, this was mainly used as a diversionary tactic.

**Divine Weapon Transformation - Ame-no-Nuboko**: A technique in which Fukuma transforms herself into a giant spear and launches herself at her opponent. This technique is very powerful as it did considerable damage to Varvara's Kyouka statue within her Paladin realm.

## Trivia

* Fukuma is the 2nd youngest member of the Eight Thunder Gods.

* Among the thunder gods, Fukuma seems to represent **Fusu-ikazuchi** (伏雷, *Hidden Thunder*), coming from Izanami's right leg and embodying the thunder that hide behind the cloud. This resembles Fukuma's behavior shown so far, who initially chose to hide and disguise herself as Bell to destroy the Anti-Demon Corps from within rather than confront them directly.

* **Ame-no-Nuboko** (天沼矛 or 天之瓊矛 or 天瓊戈, ***{{{*1*}}}*** "heavenly jeweled spear") is the spear that in Shintoism was used by Izanagi and Izanami to divide heaven and earth.
