**Yiyu** (イーユ, *Īyu*) is a top reincarnated member of the Rebedoa Empire with "several Regular Frame underlings in the Northern Composite Slab region," including Jio and Zeo (likely). [Hide Moderate Spoiler] He died during battle at the NCSR N3 Prison Camp.[Show Moderate Spoiler]

## Appearance

Yiyu is a man with shoulder length light colored hair.

## Personality

> "You’re very dull, you know... Do you know why I was deployed to this filthy backwater? Because I am exceptional. They said it would take ten years to conquer the Northern Composite Slab Region, and I did it in just one. I am the strongest Regular Frame, after the Emperor!" -Yiyu

Yiyu thinks highly of himself and is very cold hearted, capable of doing anything and using very brutal methods to achieve his goals. His interrogations, for example, consist of calm impatience while torturing his victims by slowly turning them into frozen "works of art". He doesn't care for people's lives and is willing to slaughter a whole town of non-combatants if it will aid in eliminating a significant threat.

He seems to revel in the possibility of a good fight, especially when he hasn't "fought a Regular Frame for the first time in ages."

Is *very* prideful, especially as a Regular Frame. Feeling embarassed to learn of even an *enemy* Regular Frame user's defeat "by a weapon like that", becoming enraged after effectively losing his duel with Etherow, finding “devious sniping” cowardly (similar to Eichi), etc.

“Yiyu is certain to come up with countermeasures. It will be difficult to strike him by surprise like before.” -Titania

Even with his pride, he can be quite perceptive and tends to plan out his battles well. More frighteningly, he can be very sadistic with his psychological warfare during a serious battle and seems to have a habit of torturing prisoners for either stress relief or pleasure.

Surprisingly, he was *very* bothered by Etherow's medling around and distressed by [Hide Moderate Spoiler] Zeo's death, by which point he seemed to have lost it.[Show Moderate Spoiler]

## Relations

**Titania**

* Failed to take her alive many times
* Killed many of her Regular Frame friends

**Subordinates**

* Jio
* Zeo (likely)
* [Show Moderate Spoiler]Biko

## Plot

Hunting down Titania and the relics she possessed, Yiyu had his soldiers attack the White Diamond Beam, massacring almost all inhabitants. After the battle finished and his soldiers captured Zezo (along with Biko and three other humans), Yiyu walked out of his ship, with a bit of disappointment for not getting to fight "a Regular Frame for the first time in ages" and embarassment for a fellow regular frame being "defeated by a weapon like that" before jumping straight to business. He wanted the relics they got the previous day after saving Titania, but Zezo didn't react to his request, so Yiyu impaled the remains of his body on a nearby spike and tore off his right eyelid so Zezo could "see clearly" his comrads before him. He then asked a second time. With Zezo's defiant silence, he casually (and painfully) froze one of them from the inside out, turning him into a "work of art" before offerring to "spare the rest" if Zezo told him where the relics were. To which, Zezo only responded "I'm sorry... everyone..."

Accepting Zezo's defiance, Yiyu began slowly freezing Biko while bragging to Zezo about his success and being the second strongest Regular Frame after the Emperor. Etherow then shot at his right eye (the only weak point) from a distance, but Yiyu managed to block his bullet with an ice block and mortally would him with an ice shard to *his* right eye in retaliation before calling him a "coward" for his "devious sniping."

A few seconds later, he saw the transmutation light and realized someone used the code to turn into a Regular Frame. Yiyu proceeded to armor up as Etherow rose in skeletal form, but seeing that Etherow couldn't armor up he felt he wasted the code and shot at him with an ice shard that was immediately blocked by Titania in humanoid form. Seeing her, he said "Is that all you've got, Titania?! Either way, I will show no mercy this time. I've paid the price too many times for trying to take you alive."

Yiyu then formed a giant ice block above the White Diamond Beam's castle before dropping it on their heads to crush them between it and the semi-superstructure beams beneath their feet. Feeling pleased with his destructive power, Yiyu celebrated that he "completely flattened that hovel" just before being pleasantly surprised by the sight of Etherow, having managed to armor up, lifting the giant ice block above his head before tossing it off the platform.

After a brief moment, Yiyu formed an ice bridge to quickly raise himself above Etherow before shooting ice shards at him, pushing him down into the Ruins. Seeing Etherow "already in shambles," Yiyu said “That means the code you acquired wasn’t such a great one. It was utterly mediocre.” and started approaching him. As Etherow took aim, Yiyu noticed his firing system power (the EBTG) and decided to "blast him head-on too” by launching a large continuous ice block at him. But to his surprise, Etherow's power pierced it and put a large hole in the right side of Yiyu's chest. Becoming enraged by the damage he'd taken (and duel effectively lost), he formed large ice spikes everywhere, making Etherow fall deeper into the Ruins. He then ordered his soldiers to find Etherow, but they were unable to.

Much later at a Rebedoa Empire base near the Supply Site Town, Yiyu asked why “three additional top-level reincarnateds [(Jate, Fyuma, and Aimu) were] being sent to such a backwater” only to take offense to Fyuma's answer that “His imperial majesty desires the swift retrieval of the relics and the elimination of that certain reincarnated individual." Claiming he didn't "need help from you three” in response, Jate mocked him by saying “His majesty doesn’t think so. He is treating this matter very seriously. You have made a blunder, Yiyu.” To which, he responded "Shut up, you corroded machine drip."

Some time later, his soldiers were attacked while getting supplies from the Supply Site Town during a routine (murderous) trip. Yiyu asked "Are we under attack?!" while questioning whether anyone in the area would "still attempt such a thing." Learning that Jio was too far away escorting the #2 Excavation Team and the attack was done by Etherow, he immediately ordered his soldiers to “blow up the town with the self-destruct mechanism!” to immobilize Etherow for awhile, potentially killing the townspeople. When Fyuma intervened saying “We are fighting to liberate humanity from the Central Control Level. The slaughter of non-combatants is inexcusable,” Yiyu replied “You’re so naive… you’ll regret this.”

When Eichi lost his battle against Etherow, Yiyu wasn't concerned about his death and instead surprised that Etherow “punched a hole through that megastructure.”

## Power & Abilities

### Regular Frame

As a Regular Frame, Yiyu is capable of reinforcing himself in armor, which bears a set of antennas on his forehead, another set dangling from his lower back, an almost full neckguard, and multiple stripes similar to Etherow's.

As an elemental type, he is able to not only create ice but, within a certain range, lethally and agonizingly manifest it in people's bodies if their skin is exposed to the air. Because of that, he will normally attempt to break Regular Frames' armor, creating "even a tiny breach," in order to easily destroy it with ice from the inside.

His other many ice manipulation techniques include:

* Accurately blocking bullets by forming mid-air ice chunks before they reach him
* Forming and shooting ice shards like they're large bullets
* Forming a glacier chunk above enemies
* Quickly raising himself to a significantly higher elevation by forming an ice bridge of sorts
* Charging and blasting ice forward in one continuous stream like a kamehameha
* Forming many large ice spikes rapidly in a general area
* Forming an ice shield
* Forming a giant ice block to freeze and capture enemy Reincarnateds
* Forming many ice chunks in the sky and aiming them at a single target

## Trivia

His charged ice blast looks *very much* like *Dragon Ball'*s kamehameha

Ability-wise, he's like a (somewhat) depowered Iceman from the *X-Men*.

Gave off strong Akan vibes from the film *Hardcore Henry* (2015) during the battle at NCSR N3 Prison Camp. [Hide Moderate Spoiler] Both battles were the last time we saw the characters.[Show Moderate Spoiler] For comparison:

* angry: “You think this is a joke?! Can you handle this much mass? Can you?!!” -Yiyu
* taunting: "Can you handle *this*,... *Henry?*" -Akon
