Mitsuo

**Mitsuo** is a mysterious Sekirei because his No. is -01, but it's revealed that he is the previous No. 00 before he handed his powers and title to Sekirei No. 01 Miya Asama. He is the new protagonist of the story *The Wings of Love.* Although he or Minaka never revealed in the story, it's revealed that he is Minato Sahashi and Yukari Sahashi's half-brother. After he woke up from a coma after being resurrected, Mitsuo along with Ayane Kasahara are solving the mysterious events that are happening to Sekireis and Ashikabis throughout Shinto Teito.

## Appearance

It's unknown what he looks like in his previous life, back when he used to be No. 00. In the flashbacks, he just appeared in a god like appearance in a book which Takami read.

In this new life, he resembles closely to Minato, thanks to Minaka Hiroto. Mitsuo doesn't wear a shirt or shoes, only black pants that are sort-of torn at the bottom. They have concept-like white feathers from the bottom to the middle. But after Kichirou Shintaro gave him some clothes, he wears a light white t-shirt with a zipper less parka on top. With a new pair of sneakers. He has Aqua Blue colored eyes, spiky black hair, and beige skin. Lastly, he has a huge Sekirei Tattoo implanted on his back.

## Abilities and Powers

**Mitsuo's Wings:** His wings are actually his main weapon in the present and in the past. He used his wings to not only fly, but he can tackle, using them as a shield, pick up enemies into the air and piledrive them to the ground, and twirl around like drill to hit his enemies. He can also use his wings to help anyone get them up into the air. And the one thing he can do with them, is that he can heal someone by spreading out and little particles of light will gather to the person's wound and heal like time has been reversed.

**Super Strength:** Mitsuo's strength is nothing compared to the other Sekirei. Since he has the will of a god, he is far more powerful than all the Sekireis, including Sekirei No. 01 Miya Asama and No. 88 Musubi. He showed his strength when he hit punched a thug like he is trying to crush a cement block.

**Side Effects:** Mitsuo also has the case of tapping into his mind and hears the cries and screams of someone who is in trouble or something and seeing the image of what's happening to them. Not much is known, but it clearly states that he has full control of this ability in the past. However, now in the present, it seems he has no longer control over this ability.He still receives them though, but in the process, results in having a terrible headache.

And because he's a god, Mitsuo has the power to copy all 108 Sekirei's abilities, weapons, and level of power.

* **Weapon Mastery:** He is extremely good with any weapons, like he has been trained under a high level martial arts master. He can master any weapon, swords, chakrams, spears, hammers, etc.
* **Hand-to-Hand Combat:** He is extremely skilled when it comes to this kind of combat. He can even cause an earthquake or possibly destroy the earth if he copied all the Sekireis who know hand-to-hand combat together.
* **Manipulation Power:** He can even master when he copy a Sekirei who has elemental abilities. He has unbelievable control, he even demonstrated when he fought against Tsukiumi. Even if he's up against a manipulation-type Sekirei, the Sekirei Mitsuo's fighting won't regain control over his or her manipulation, because his is extremely more stronger than theirs

## History

Mitsuo is revealed to be the previous Sekirei No. 00 years ago, it is also said in legends that he is a god. His duty was to guard the Kouten and protect and keep watch the bonds between Sekirei and Ashikabi. He was actually the one who brought peace and harmony to not only Japan, but the entire world as well. However, one day there was a ancient being who only saw the negative side within Ashikabis, treating their Sekireis as their slaves and other stuff. This drove her to believe that Sekireis have the only right to live in this world. The Sekireis saw this as a threat and fought back with their Ashikabi’s to protect their bonds and love they held dear for each other. But their efforts were futile, because no matter how much they pull, the ancient being was too powerful. But as her plan was about to come to fruition, No. 00 came down and decided to battle. He fought until she’s weakened. Then, No. 00 used the very last ounce of his power, to use the power of the Kouten’s mother core to trap the ancient being herself and her negative emotions. Just before he got himself terminated, he then summoned the number after him,  No. 01. He passed on his powers to her and told her that when the time comes, she will eventually pass down her powers and teachings to the next, so something like this will never happen again. After that, his body disappeared and taken to a safe place. At the same time, the Kouten disappeared too and its mother core split into 8 crystals which contain the ancient being separately and part of the Kouten’s power. Those 8 crystals were actually the Jinkis.

Later, after his death, Minaka Hiroto was able to find his remains and brought him to the MBI after its construction. Although Mitsuo seems he can't be resurrected, Minaka used some of Minato Sahashi's genes and metabolisms to help revive him. But after that, Mitsuo looks mostly like Minato, so Minaka proclaimed that Mitsuo is Minato and Yukari's half-brother. His resurrection happened after Minato is born. Although Mitsuo has no memory of his previous life, Minaka managed to help him regain his memory. And so, when years went by, Minaka kept Mitsuo under stasis just in case if a disaster ever strikes like he did with the ancient spirit years ago.

## Wings of Love - Story

Spreading the Wings of a New Beginning:

He isn't actually seen yet, but he made his first appearance when Takami detected a strange signal belonging to a Sekirei, but the energy signature is different.

Awakening:

Mitsuo made his actual appearance while sleeping in a pod, which is identical to the ones the other 108 Sekirei have been sleeping in the Sekirei ship Minaka found. He starts to have dreams, visions about future and past events. Then he heard a man's voice, and he said that he's going to eradicate all Ashikabis and make a paradise for only Sekireis to live in. After hearing that, he woke up by seeing his eyes open.

Later, Mitsuo began to walk around the city, which is raining, with exhausted eyes. He's been doing this for hours and starts to get very hungry. He decided to rest up against a wall, but then a man came out of his noodle restaurant and saw Mitsuo. He came to Mitsuo and aid him in providing something to eat. So he took him inside and gave him a bowl of noodles, pork katsu, and gyoza. The man proved to be the owner and introduced himself to be Kichirou Shintaro. Mitsuo also introduced himself and Kichirou is kind of shocked to realize Mitsuo is a Sekirei. Mitsuo finished his meal and decides to leave, promising Kichirou he will repay his debt someday. However, Kichirou stopped him there, saying that it's dangerous out in the rain and he could get lost. So he decided to let Mitsuo stay with him for the night. Mitsuo is wondering if it's too good to be true, but he has no other choice, so he accepts.

He got up the next day and went downstairs. Kichirou saw him and says good morning. Mitsuo is quiet for a second and finally said that it seems Kichirou decided not to kill him after all. Kichirou is shocked to hear this and asked Mitsuo why would he say such a thing. Mitsuo explains that it's too good to be true based on what Kichirou was saying. But Kichirou said to not worry about it and told Mitsuo that he wouldn't dare to kill him, a Sekirei. Besides, if he wanted to kill him, Kichirou would've done it after Mitsuo revealed he's a Sekirei. Mitsuo is thankful and apologizes. And again, he decided to leave. But before he left, Kichirou stopped him again, but this time he gave him some clothes. And without further a do, Mitsuo left. He was walking but he still has a problem, where is he going to go from here? But before he can make a decision, a group of mean-looking bikers came in to the noodle shop. Mitsuo already realizes that he has a bad feeling about it.

The bikers came in and about to have their meals. After they finished, they are just about to leave. But Kichirou told them to stop and gave them the bill, asking them to pay up. But one of the thugs started to choke Kichirou and is about to kill him. But Mitsuo came in after they saw what they did to Kichirou. So Mitsuo beated them all up and as a result, the thugs gave their wallets and ran away in fear, never to be seen again. Kichirou thanked Mitsuo for helping him, and Mitsuo said that he needed to repay his debt after all. Kichirou is so thankful and allowed Mitsuo to stay in the noodle restaurant, free of charge. Mitsuo is glad to hear that from him and Kichirou decided to cook something for him as a reward. Unknown to Mitsuo, he's being watched by the Disciplinary Squad.

The Voice:

After Mitsuo saved Kichirou, he decided to give Mitsuo a job in his noodle restaurant. Mitsuo arrived at a corporation in order to get a shipment to aid Kichirou's restaurant. Mitsuo picked up the shipment thanks to his Sekirei strength and started to head back to the restaurant. But he stopped for a second and heard something... a girl's voice. He didn't know what's going on, probably one of his mysterious side effects. But what he did know is that the girl's voice is calling for help. The voice is so strong, it forced Mitsuo to accidentally drop the shipment. One of the employees of the corporation asked Mitsuo if he's okay, but he said he's fine. Mitsuo is wondering what was that all about, but he thinks it was probably just nothing.

When he got back, he gave the shipment to Kichirou. Mitsuo asks if there's anything else left that he needs to do, but Kichirou said that it will be all for today. Mitsuo went to sent down on the stool, but he heard the voice again, but this time it gotten stronger and caused him to be dizzy and faint. Kichirou aid him and pleads Mitsuo to wake up. Mitsuo keeps having these visions while his eyes are closed. Then he finally saw the girl wrapped around in rope and suffered from a bunch of bruises, and she is shown to be on a wrecked-up boat along side of the coast. Mitsuo finally wakes up and Kichirou is glad he's awake. But Mitsuo said that he's going to go get some fresh air, then takes off his clothes and went back to his original style and went away. Kichirou already knows that Mitsuo is lying however...

Apparently Kichirou is right, because Mitsuo is heading to the place where he saw in his visions. When he arrived, he's near the coastline over across the shipment trade station across Shinto Teito. Then he saw it, the exact same wrecked-up boat he saw in his visions. So Mitsuo went in there to check things out. It definitively looks abandoned, filled with cobwebs and broken glass. Mitsuo then heard a noise and found her, the girl from his visions upstairs. As expected, the girl is all tied up in rope, lying down, and covered in bruises. Mitsuo is about to untie her, but then he hears someone outside asking who's in there. When Mitsuo got out, he saw a whole bunch of thugs, probably the one's who kidnapped the girl. Mitsuo warned the thugs to leave if they want to live and to leave the girl alone, or else he'll make them. But the thugs didn't take it to seriously and they all started laughing. After they calmed themselves down, they started to charge at Mitsuo. But suddenly, Mitsuo did something that's unbelievable. His Sekirei symbol on his back started to glow and spread out light-blue wings, and resulted in him causing a powerful shockwave that drove the thugs away. Some were able to get back up, and those who did were actually beaten down by Mitsuo and his Sekirei abilities. After the battle is done within minutes, Mitsuo untied the kidnapped girl's restrains, picked her up, and carried her back to the noodle restaurant in order to tend her wounds.

After Mitsuo got back, Kichirou immediately tended the girl's wounds. While tending, Kichirou asked Mitsuo if he has any idea who he saved. Mitsuo says no, but Kichirou says that the girl's name is revealed to be Ayane Kasahara, the daughter of the richest man of all Shinto Teito. Mitsuo then asked why the thugs kidnapped her, but Kichirou guessed that they kidnapped Ayane in order to convince her father to give them a lot of money. Mitsuo is getting worried, but Kichirou touched Mitsuo's shoulder and reassured him that Ayane will be okay, she just needs to rest. There's nothing Mitsuo can do, so he decides to sleep since it's getting late. But before doing so, Mitsuo promises Ayane that he will protect her while clearing her hair so he can see her face.

A Desire to Protect:

The next day, Ayane woke up. But as she's trying to survey her surroundings, she realized that someone is grabbing holding her left hand, and it turns out to be Mitsuo. Ayane is shocked, probably because of what happened, and scooched back towards a wall, but Mitsuo woke up after realizing she let go of his hand. Mitsuo is glad to see Ayane awake and he explained everything that's going on, including that he's a Sekirei. Mitsuo then asked Ayane if she wants something to eat, in which she agreed while replying gently.

When they both went downstairs, Kichrou already prepared a meal for the two. Kichirou told Ayane that he has some bad news, Ayane's father, Shotaro Kasahara has gone off country on a business trip and won't be back for month, if not then longer. Ayane may have already knew about this, but Kichirou explained that he and Shotaro are childhood friends and he said that Ayane can stay here until her father comes back. Ayane responded back that she is grateful for the kind offer and she and Mitsuo continue to finish their meal.

Later, Ayane says that she's going out for a walk around. But Kichirou stopped her there, saying that it might be still dangerous since she may be hunted down again. Ayane started to get disappointed, but Mitsuo came down, with his clothes on, and says that he will go with her for protection. Ayane tells Mitsuo that he doesn't have to, but Mitsuo still accepts anyway, not knowing that Ayane blushed due to him saying that kind thing to her. The two gathered their stuff and went out.

Decisions and Consequences:

Mitsuo and Ayane are walking. Mitsuo realized that Ayane is looking at him and she turned away after realizing. Mitsuo asked what's wrong but Ayane said nothing, saying she never went on a date with a boy before. Mitsuo wondered what's a date, then Ayane explained. After that, they both decided to go to the mall and Mitsuo realizes that Ayane wrapped her arm around him. He didn't understand why Ayane is doing that, but decided to let it go. So they went to many places, historical sights, clothing stores, a restaurant, and even a arcade.

It's the afternoon and Mitsuo and Ayane are taking a subway back to the noodle restaurant. While on their way, Ayane got tired and decided to take a little nap by resting her head beside Mitsuo. Mitsuo then said to himself and no matter what happens, he will protect her. When they got out Ayane thanked Mitsuo and wondered if they can go out on a date again like this. Mitsuo said yes, claiming they can go whenever Ayane wishes to.

While walking, Mitsuo sensed something. Ayane asked Mitsuo if he's okay, and Mitsuo said that he sensed something. Suddenly, someone is about to attack, but luckily, Mitsuo grabbed Ayane and carried her to safety. The one who attacked the two is Sekirei No. 99 Tsubaki. But Mitsuo can sense that there's something wrong with her, clearly that isn't normal. Mitsuo is eventually right, Tsubaki's eyes are red and there is a dark aura around her body. Mitsuo had no choice, so he told Ayane to stand back, took off his clothes into his fighting gear, and prepared for battle.

So the battle began and it started to get fierce. The battle lasted for a long time, but it's revealed that the reason for this long battle is because Mitsuo is trying to figure out how to defeat Tsubaki by snapping her out in whatever state she's in without killing her. Not only Ayane is watching the fight, but Matsu, the members of the Disciplinary Squad, and Takami are also watching. Then Tsubaki is about to strike Mitsuo from behind. Ayane tried to warn Mitsuo but little did she know that Mitsuo already knows about this. Then Mitsuo performed something awestruck. He started to unleash a shockwave that knocked Tsubaki back. When the dust cleared, Mitsuo is being seen wielding a nodachi and his wrist is glowing "No. 04". The battle then continued and his fighting style and skills are related to the Sekirei No. 04 Karasuba. Mitsuo won the battle by slashing his sword through Tsubaki's shoulder and seeing her falling to the ground. Luckily, the slash didn't reach Tsubaki's heart since he gained Karasuba's control ability. Mitsuo's nodachi then disappeared. Ayane ran over to Mitsuo and asked if he's okay. Mitsuo said that he's fine and both of them head to Tsubaki who is lying down. Mitsuo examined Tsubaki, Ayane is started to get horrified thinking that she's dead but Mitsuo eased her by saying that she's still alive and her Sekirei symbol didn't disappear. Ayane wondered why she attacked us, but all Mitsuo can say is that he doesn't know.

Suddenly, Tsubaki's twin sister, Sekirei No. 98 Tsukiko came running along with their Ashikabi, Akira Tachibana. Tsukiko realized that Mitsuo is the one who hurt her and demanded what has he done to her. Mitsuo tried to explain the situation, that Tsubaki attacked them, but Tsukiko said they are lies. Mitsuo got ready to embrace himself, but Akira stopped her there and told his Sekirei that Tsubaki is still alive. But they realized that they have to do something, or else she will die. Mitsuo approached them and said he can help, which Akira let him. Mitsuo kneeled down and spread his wings, then suddenly the light feathers from his wings began to heal Tsubaki's wound. Tsubaki then woke up and the three of them embraced each other. Mitsuo and Ayane are very happy that they are okay. But Mitsuo said that they should get out of there while they still can, that it will be difficult explaining their situations like this. Ayane agrees, so the two got their shopping bags and went back to Kichirou's noodle restaurant.

When they got back, they told Kichirou everything that's been happening while they were gone. Ayane is still wondering what happened to Tsubaki, saying that they didn't do anything wrong. Mitsuo is still wondering, that there must be some sort of cause behind this. But Kichirou got reminded and explained to the two that while they were gone, he saw the news about a Ashikabi falling to terrible ill and his Sekirei is getting worried about him. Mitsuo is still wondering about that, but for now, he just told Ayane and Kichirou that they should keep this to themselves and to figure out these strange occurrences, which they both agree.

Answers:

Mitsuo is being seen with Ayane at a harbor. Mitsuo asks Ayane what are they doing out there. Ayane explains about what happened yesterday, the way Mitsuo suddenly got that nodachi. Ayane realized that sword belonged to the "Black Sekirei" and asks Mitsuo how did he do it. Mitsuo explains that he just thinks about the weapon he wants or the Sekirei's number, then he gains not only their weapons, but their abilities too. That's the reason why they are at the harbor, to see what kind of abilities he can do if he copies down the other Sekirei's abilities. So Mitsuo trained by copying down other Sekireis' abilities with the help of Ayane and her list of Sekireis on her tablet. Then they're finished, and lucky for Mitsuo, he's actually very good at realizing memorizing.

Then Mitsuo and Ayane rested against a crater and decided to talk. They recounted about the previous events, a Ashikabi sot sick and the Sekirei Tsubaki went mad and attacked the two. Mitsuo said that they aren't getting anywhere by just sitting around and thinking all day, but they don't have any leads. But Ayane has an idea, to talk with Tsubaki and ask her what happen to her. Mitsuo thinks it's a good idea, but they have one problem; how are they going to find them. Ayane said that her list of Sekireis is actually a master list, containing their Ashikabis and where they live. Ayane then found the address of where they live and both of them gone to their next lead.

They arrived at the house and made their introductions to Akira, Tsukiko, and Tsubaki. While having a little conversation, Mitsuo and Ayane got down to business. Mitsuo asks Tsubaki if she can tell them about what happened that made Mitsuo forced to fight her, and Tsubaki agrees will tell everything, after all it's the least she can do after Mitsuo saved her. Tsubaki explains that she went out to get groceries and got this terrible headache, and that's how she was like that. Mitsuo and Ayane started to get disappointed, that that's not going anywhere for them. But Tsubaki explains more that she started to have visions of a floating island that has black wings, the Kouten. Mitsuo is surprised and just said thank you to Akira and the twins before he and Ayane left.

After they left, Ayane asked Mitsuo what did he know back there. But before he answered, Mitsuo asked Ayane if she knows what the Sekirei Plan is, in which she replied yes. Mitsuo then asked where do the Sekirei go after they are terminated, that's when he explains about the Kouten. Ayane asked how does he know all of this, but it's revealed that Mitsuo has little memory of his past. Ayane asked what does any of what Mitsuo said have to do with all of this. Mitsuo said that if what Tsubaki said ack there was true, then they know exactly where they need to go next.

A Past Left Unforgotten:

Mitsuo and Ayane are in a speedboat that they rented thanks to Ayane's business card. They used to get to Kamikura Island, their next lead and where it all began. When they arrived, Mitsuo claimed that the island hasn't changed a bit. But when they got closer, the place seemed almost destroyed (probably due to the events of the Last Stage of the Sekirei Plan). While investigating the damage, the place is covered with impact craters and scars. Ayane wondered what happened, but all Mitsuo could that it must have been signs of a great battle. Then Mitsuo told Ayane that they are here. Ayane is surprised to see some sort of a spaceship. So they went to the ship, while Mitsuo knowing full well who it is inside.
