Vampire Asagi

**Vampire Asagi** is a character appearing in Taimanin Asagi 3 and Taimanin Asagi ZERO, as well as Taimanin Asagi Battle Arena. She is the result of the bad/downer end route for Asagi but is not created in the true/golden route of Asuka.

She is the result of a fusion of Edwin Black and Asagi. Having no real body of her own, she exists only close to Black, as an illusion, but is able to switch control over their united body. Just like Black, she is a vampire.

## Personality

Asagi's character has strongly changed after being fused with Black and being turned into a vampire, Asagi sees humans and Taimanin as food, and below her. Asagi also seems to have fallen in love with Black, wanting to be with him in a real body, to touch and making love to him.

She views the versions of Asagi in other worlds as fakes and worthless, but also sees them as possible vessels.

This Asagi is overall far colder, arrogant and sadistic.

## Appearance

She looks like the normal Asagi, but with long fingernails and red eyes. She wears a very revealing outfit that gives off an ominous aura with regal flair, the inner red color of her outfit seems to be colored red and might actually be blood.

## History

In the vampire route of TA3, Asagi uses the power of her Inner Demon (Kage) many times.

As Koukawa Asuka does not appear in that route, Asagi fights alone in the Demon Arena. Killing Oboro and the resurrected demonized Murasaki and Sakura. She uses her Inner Demon more and more and attacks Black. Still outmatched by him, Black invades her body as a black mist. Talking to Kage in a mind space of sorts, Black reveals his goal wasn't to rule Japan but fusing himself and Asagi as well as the Dark World and Human World and create a new world with Asagi. Black also says that all versions of them, are only shade imitations of the "Mother Sea", the origin of worlds.

Stating his ability to manipulate gravity, he can use it to link this world to the Mother Sea, destroying the earth and demon realm but rebuilding it afterwards as many new worlds will form in the aftermath. Feeling small fragments of Asagi's humanity still exist, he destroys them while he merges the world with the Mother Sea, destroying reality. After this, the world was recreated into multiple ZERO Universes as well as Online Universes because of Black's ability.

The new world born from this includes Vampire Asagi on his side. Murasaki and Sakura are seen hunting for something down below in the streets and eventually leave, while Asagi voices her love for Black and dislike for lesser beings. Four unidentified Taimanin notice her and start to pursue her, which leads Vampire Asagi to happily declare they will be dinner for tonight.

### Timeline ZERO

Vampire Asagi appears again in the ZERO Universe, seemingly only existing within Black's mind. Both can switch between one dominating body, having affected that new world by invading Koukawa Oboro (ZERO)'s body and manipulating events in the background. Wishing to make certain that Igawa Asagi (ZERO) might provide a good host body for Vampire Asagi, they hope for her corruption but not death.

After Igawa Asagi (ZERO) defeats Kaliya (ZERO) in the Chaos Arena, Oboro (ZERO) appeared and Asagi is able to feel Edwin Black's power. Black leaves the body but not before disabling a Murasaki that tries to pursue him, while a group of lesser Taimanin hunt after him, leaving Asagi, Sakura and Murasaki behind.

As Black flies through the night sky, it shows the same scene from Taimanin Asagi 3, with four Taimanin in pursuit and Vampire Asagi's declaration of dinner. Asagi switches into control of their body, while at least two of the Taimanin hunting them can be seen to be Houma Midori and Shinonome Nea.

### Timeline TABA

She appears in Amidahara, to the Asagi, Annerose Vajra and Fuuma Kotaro of that world. Guarding an Otherworld portal, created by the UFS with a Philosopher's Stone. She only could be pushed back by the combined effort of Neu Eazlane and the others that forced the portal to close. This vampire Asagi is captured in "what if" events but otherwise does not appear again in the story.

At the end of the TABA events, a new **Vampire Asagi** is seen in the epilogue, within a new world that was the result of another "reset". However, this Asagi is able to free herself from the corruption, (probably) because of Fuuma Kotaro half absorption of Edwin Black's power, which granted her and him additional memories. As both Kotaro rejected the path of a demon, Asagi did so as well after being fought and asked.

## Trivia

* The scene playing in both TA3 and TA-ZERO only difference are that Sakura and Murasaki appear in 3 as their older self, not their ZERO versions. This could be a light retcon however, the scenes are too similar to be coincidence. Most likely, a world reset of Black is either able to create multiple worlds with minor variations at the same time, or this ZERO Universe is the result from a slightly different Taimanin Asagi 3.
* In TABA Neu Eazlane mentions after seeing Vampire Asagi, that she and Edwin Black have a shared existence, which goes back to Asagi and Black being modeled on the relationship of the Hindu gods Parvati and Shiva
* She appears in Action Taimanin as a costume swap for Asagi.
* As Black's true form is that of a "Shiva"-like (World Destroyer) and Asagi as "his" Parvati (goddess of fertility, love, beauty, harmony, marriage), both are seemingly part of a cycle of creation and destruction. The combined form of "**Vampire Asagi**" sharing one body, might be like "Ardhanarishvara" that also is one being and fusion of Shiva and Parvati (female/male) aspects.
* Because of the Shiva and Parvati, as well as the Ardhanarishvara parallels, and the fact they change bodies, The Vampire Asagi entity can technically be referred to as He/Him, She/Her, They/Them. Because the female version is more prevalent, She/Her is what is commonly used.
* It is not clear if Vampire Asagi also has the abilities of both Asagi and Kage.
* Although Black does not actually need Vampire Asagi to reset the universe, he seems to want to guide Asagi to a path that eventually ends with her being fused with him so Vampire Asagi is born. The reason's behind it are not clearly stated, but it seems that he mainly wants Vampire Asagi to be the Eve for his Adam.
