### Appears In

Toaru Majutsu no Enforcer

Going by his current alias, **Kamirai Ukiyo** (上来 浮世, *Kamirai Ukiyo*?), with the pseudonym **Enforcer** (エンフォーサー?), he is one of the agents sent by **MERCURY** tasked with breaking down the foundation of Academy City, with the aim of starting a war between the Science and Magic Sides. He, alongside numerous MERCURY members, pursues the goal of eliminating the supernatural, using Imagine Breaker to permanently kill all illusions such as Esper powers and Magic. He attends Toaru Gakuin using the alias Kamirai Ukiyo to get closer to the Imagine Breaker.

## Profile

### Appearance

Initially, Ukiyo had a rather weak looking physique as he was very small, and scrawny. Overtime, he became much stronger as his body became more toned as he was progressing through Guāng Xi's training; giving him some muscularly figure but with a lean and tall body. He used to have short black hair but became white through overuse of his alchemy. His eyes are also the same color but changes to blue when using **Future Gospel**. During special occasions, when temporarily acquiring all line Imagine Models, his pupil became neon pinkish purple and his sclera became black. Furthermore, as his ability became damaged overtime, his eyes has heterochromia where his left eye is more purplish blue while the other is pale white.

### Personality

Enforcer displays a mostly indifferent attitude, taking little to no interest in anything other than his goal. When under the guise of Kamirai Ukiyo, he displays a relaxed, cheerful, and cocky persona.

Although willing to work with espers and magicians to achieve his own ends, he reacted negatively when they acted like they were his equals, referring to them as "abnormals". He proved to be a civil collaborator as he told his group exactly what they needed to do, even forming a close bond with some of them, as in their spare time he was seen to play games with them. This relaxed and condescending attitude remained during fights, where he would praise the abilities of his opponents. On occasion, Ukiyo would find himself pausing, claiming that he is talking like somebody else; this implies that some of his habits come from his future self influencing him.

As shown in his conversation with Accelerator, Ukiyo believes that the next stage of human evolution is not "optimizing the supernatural" but is instead "removing themselves of it". It was made clear that Ukiyo desires to find a world where humans can break away from their destructive nature, while Academy City is unintentionally creating one where espers optimize it. Ukiyo stands against Academy City's Power Curriculum Program because turning humans into a flesh and blood energy source would create widespread suffering and a world far removed from what he pursues. This belief is the main reason for his actions, his unethical and inhuman terrorism that've killed hundreds, and the primary motivation for his current plots.

### Background

Enforcer has discarded everything about his past to work for the eradication of magic and espers in opposition to the destructive nature of humanity. Hence, he has no real name, and his current name is merely an alias. According to his falsified background as "Kamirai Ukiyo," he is an ordinary high school boy who lived in an ordinary Japanese town, but moved to Academy City to pursue independence. As an only child, Ukiyo was raised in Kerman, Iran. His father was strict with a pacifistic view on war, while his mother was very loving towards him and often sang him lullabies. Their conflicting views on parenting their child resulted in the two frequently arguing with each other, much to his distress.

Ukiyo was good friends with three other boys, with who he frequently played games within an old army storage depot he found. The boys gave each other army-related nicknames such as 'Major,' 'Corporal,' and 'General,' while he was called 'Enforcer.' He desired to join the army with his friends when they became older, wanting to "kill all those awful monsters from the west." However, his father deeply disapproved of his ambition and activities, hitting him and berating his ignorance of Americans and approach towards conflict. Feeling left out due to all his friends having soldier uniforms and toy guns, he lied to his father to get pocket money and bought the soldier set, despite his guilt.

Later, he changed his mind about playing with his friends because of his guilt and left their hideout. Shortly after, the American Army crossed the border and began to attack the eastern provinces of Iran, launching a bomb at the friends' hideout. They continued to attack the rest of Kerman, devastating the town square. He was only saved from a piece of rock by his helmet, and was left with a deep gash. Being chased by Iranian rioters, and kidnappers, Ukiyo had awakened his Future Gospel. Seeing visions of a another boy running in front of him, he follows the boy but when he realized he's lost the rioters, he also lost the bow as well.

With nothing in his life left but hatred towards Ostania, he joined the Westalian army under the identity of Roland Spoofy while lying about his age. From there, he fought in the East-West conflict, using his skills as a tactician to win battles, eventually earning the rank of sergeant after many officers died in combat. On one of his posts, he encountered an Ostanian deserter who got caught in one of his traps. The deserter begged for his life as he wanted to be with a woman before he died. Humored by this, Loid spares him, surprised that the enemy soldiers can seem human. They have a conversation about the start of the war, which eventually devolves into an argument as Loid grew furious at the deserter for assumedly spreading propaganda. Their argument ended up exposing their location to Ostanian soldiers, forcing both Loid and the deserter to flee.

Suffering several injuries from his escape, Loid got sent off the front lines to recover. While recuperating, Loid reunited with his three friends, who had miraculously survived the bombing and joined the military together. Realizing they were still alive after all this time, Loid started to tear up, having blamed himself for their deaths. The friends were now together again, and an excited Loid invited them out, but they revealed that they were being deployed for a military campaign but promised to hang out once they returned. Loid would later learn that the operation his friends were assigned to was ill-conceived and recklessly planned, and only their dog tags were returned to him.

Loid began to reflect on what happened to his friends and his conversation with the deserter. He realized he knew nothing about the war and had been fighting his enemies with blind rage the whole time. He concluded that "Ignorance isn't bliss. Ignorance is weakness. Ignorance is a sin." Sometime after, Loid was approached by a man who knew his real name and that he enlisted with a fake name and age. The man revealed himself as military intelligence and had come to recruit Loid. Telling Loid that he would be court-martialed if he refused to join, the man instructs him to pack his things and meet him at a station at a later date.

When Loid arrived at the station, the man took his belongings and threw them into a nearby fire, telling Loid that he must toss away his name and rank to become a shadow for his country. Loid responded that no one knows his real name, adding that he does not care about his country or winning the war. After being asked what his reasons were, Loid thought about his new goal: to make a world where kids don't need to cry.

After joining MERCURY, he met Handler, who became his new commanding officer and turned him into a first-rate intelligence operative using the harshest means necessary. In between this time and before the beginning of Operation Strix, he mentored Agent Nightfall.

## Abilities and Powers

Having been trained by Xiaoyuki in combat for 6 years, and being a pseudo-Saint, Ukiyo is extremely adept at hand-to-hand combat, boasting significant strength and stamina, remarkable agility and reflexes and deceptive speed; as he can be seen dodging bullets. Though he was a young armed combatant during the war, in the manga he displays his abilities on the field by subduing a number of armed Iranian soldiers using only melee tactics. Ukiyo's killing spree throughout Iran itself is proof of his skills, as he manages to murder ten Magicians and is able to hold his own against Kamijou Touma, and Saints the likes of Kanzaki Kaori. In addition, Ukiyo proves himself capable of taking down inhuman beasts such as chimeras and vampires. Most impressively, through a combination of luck and skill, he managed to gain a pyrrhic victory over a severely wounded Accelerator.

Ukiyo is also intelligent, able to comprehend complex and advanced alchemical texts and concepts despite having never studied the craft, and is an adequate tactician capable of immediately identifying and assessing his opponents' weaknesses in combat. He shows himself to be very good at espionage, infiltration, and counterintelligence, and knows how to adjust his plans to account for changes. He logically assesses all threats and responds to them strategically. Using deductive reasoning, he devises clever ways to handle each situation as it arises. This is frequently demonstrated by deducing his opponent's strengths and weaknesses before engaging in battles. His basic understanding of alchemy allows him to take the lead in a group mission, or even go on his own without much instruction. But once an opponent's weakness is identified, he can quickly devise a plan to capitalize on it, effectively using each ally's unique skills to achieve that goal.

Whether he prepares to engage in combat or commands those in battle, Ukiyo's general approach is the same: he remains aware of all actions that allies and opponents make, even things that seem insignificant at the time or that he doesn't yet understand; he keeps track of where everything is located in relation to everything else, even features that lack obvious practical use; he studies the behavior of all combatants, gradually learning how they react in any given situation. By then focusing on this vast amount of information, he can quickly think ten moves ahead of his opponent(s) and devise over a dozen strategies, from which he chooses the most effective. Such strategies are often highly elaborate and use multiple layers of misdirection, where he takes small victories just to eliminate extraneous factors, pretends defeat in order to re-position opponents, and engineers conditions that will lead opponents to defeating themselves.

Ukiyo's method of fighting is entirely different from those of Kamijou Touma's fought during World War III. It consists of chipping away the opponent's fighting strength rather than their body like everyone else does. Any situation can change within a second, similar to a wiring diagram showing all possibilities. From this sea of possibilities, Ukiyo calculates the most likely outcome of events and chooses the most suitable attack. As his precognition is flawed, he does not see the future in combat, but is simply one step ahead. For Alchemists, fighting consists of assembling the proper ingredients ahead of time. Neither strong physically nor in Magic, they predict the future to steer it away from the worst outcome. If there is no predicted "future with victory", the alchemist of Atlas will not dight. Kanzaki describes this fighting style as very close to gambling, to which Ukiyo agrees.

Ukiyo states that Kanzaki Kaori is undoubtedly superior to him at fighting, and opponents like the first and second ranked espers are almost impossible for him to fight head on. Therefore, he has to use alternative methods to obtain victory. Days or even weeks before ambushing an opponent like Accelerator, Ukiyo revised all the data he has on his target and calculated every single of their maneuvers. The numbers indicated a complete landslide in accelerator's favor, but with the use of EM pulses to kill his electrode, and tricking him into activating a magical array to induce the rejection that happens when an esper tries to use magic, Ukiyo claims that it should've been logical that he would defeat Accelerator. But since he rushed it and was greedy for the kill, he caused Accelerator to act completely outside of predictive behavior, with the element of Last Order getting mixed in, and the manifestation of his black wings, it would have not been surprising if he lost.

Ukiyo was mistakenly thought to have been a Magician-Esper Hybrid, due to his use of Alchemy and him giving off AIM Diffusion Fields. But he could only do so because both his alchemy and esper powers weren't his to begin with. His alchemy is the result of the Saint's Arm generating it's own mana and the transmutation array tattooed over it, and his esper powers are the result of a brainwave network called Synthesis Grid. Because of his ability's nature being of borrowed power, he can't be called a true magician or an esper, akin to how someone using a spiritual item or Level Upper can't be called either.

### Magical Abilities

   While his physical prowess and fierce intelligence are frightful in and of themselves, Ukiyo's most dangerous element is his right arm, which is able to destroy anything with which it comes into contact by way of the intricate and arcane Transmutation Array tattooed thereupon. As a fundamentalist opponent of the supernatural, Ukiyo does not consider himself an alchemist in the traditional sense, but the strain of alchemy that his arm itself allows him to produce is powerful, advanced and unique. As observed by those who have seen it in action and lived to tell the tale, Ukiyo's method follows the cyclical flow of transmutation, but only takes into account the first two steps - comprehension and deconstruction. By "stopping at the second step", the physical structure of whatever he targets is broken down and not reshaped, essentially reducing it to debris. By applying this method to his victims, he destroys their internal systems instantly while circumventing both Human Transmutation and the stigma associated with giving new form to one of God's creations. He is able to destroy chimeras by blowing them up, reducing their bodies to bloody splatters. Still, for all the terrorist's anti-alchemical posturing, the fact that he is unable to deconstruct an object whose composition he does not comprehend suggests that Ukiyo does have a fair bit of alchemical knowledge and must actively identify, or at least make educated guesses at, the makeup of objects he wishes to destroy; despite his repeated assertion that the arm (and not himself) is the one performing alchemy, Ukiyo is an amateur alchemist by practice.

Ukiyo's arm array is the deconstruction half of a two-piece complementary set designed by Guāng Xi. By studying both Indian alchemy and Chinese alkahestry, Ukiyo's mentor was able to find similarities between the two and combine them into an array that incorporated their strengths. The right arm, marked with "TERRA" (the Latin word for "Earth") and "AER" (the Latin word for "Air"), carries an array incorporating twin snakes in a Caduceus pattern surrounded by reptilian scales which may represent the "Dragon's Pulse" of alkahestric origin and a series of tribal arrows leading down to the wrist, representing an outward flow. This arm is designated for deconstruction. The left arm, designated for reconstruction, is marked with the same array turned upside down to represent an inward flow and with the Dragon's Pulse tattooed in white ink rather than the black ink of the right arm. Its inward flow completes the cyclical pulse of full transmutation and it is marked with "IGNIS" (the Latin word for "Fire") and "AQUA", (The Latin word for "Water") completing the elemental tetrad.

#### Saint's Arm

After a surprise attack by Iranian gemstone left the young Ukiyo dying from exsanguination due to the loss of his right arm, his mentor contacted her association, asking them to heal the boy. They used the alkahestric properties to transfer the Saint's right arm to Ukiyo's body in exchange that Ukiyo work for MERCURY. Though Ukiyo is unable to transmute past the deconstruction stage with this arm, the alkahestric nature of the array makes his transmutations immune to any alchemy-sealing ability.

The Saint's Arm is part of collection of a certain Saint's corpse parts. Thought to be the preserved members of Jesus Christ, the corpse parts possess unique properties different between each part. The right arm that was stitched onto Ukiyo, has the ability to contain and release mana, allowing it to act as a generator and a battery for his alchemy to function. It is referred to as a spiritual item, allowing Ukiyo to use magic without actually using his own mana.

### Esper Powers

Despite not being an esper himself, he is able to use multiple powers under the control of the Synthesis Grid. While in control of said grid, he could borrow the abilities of those who are connected through the system.

His first victim being the recently recruited Kuramitsu Meruka and her ability, **Secret Research** (静電送信機(シークレットリサーチ), *Dansei Sōshin-ki (Shīkuretto Risāchi)*, lit. "Electrostatic Transceiver"?), a level 2 esper power which uses electrical signals emitted from machines and humans, to read the machines inputs and the human's thoughts. With this power, Ukiyo can read people's minds, or to be exact, read their emotions. Ukiyo can receive the electrical signals that machines and people releases, with his ability being more like a transceiver than actual telepathy. Because Ukiyo can read everything, even the most minute of intentions, Ukiyo needs time to filter through everything. Also, if the opponent is in poor condition their fatigue and other problems make the process even more difficult. Ukiyo only picked this up because he needed to complete his guise of a 'normal' student.

Ukiyo later obtained **AIM Watcher** (能力観察(AIMウォッチャー), *Nōryoku Kansatsu (AIM Uotchā)*, lit. "Ability Observation"?) from Tsurigane Saryou, which allowed him to "see" and visualize the AIM diffusion fields of other espers. Allowing him to identify changes in the AIM diffusion field which occur when an esper performs calculations in order to use their ability, and from those changes, he can accurately predict how their ability is going to be used. Ukiyo believed that this ability is extremely useful for engaging against espers, and contributes most of his victories against espers to this ability.

Picked up for its defensive capabilities, **Gravity Sling** (重力円環(グラビティスリング), *Jūryoku Enkan (Gurabiti Suringu)*?, lit. "Gravity Ring"), taken from Wanigawa Raifu, allows Ukiyo to redirect harmful objects in motion in a manner that is comparable to the effects of Accelerator's Vector Control. He can change the trajectory of anything that would hit him, such as a bullet or a falling car, to make it hit someone else. He can also use gravity to bend light to make enemy attacks miss.

#### Awakening

During his battle against Kakine Teitoku, in a final desperate attempt, he blared the audio of Synthesis Grid across the entire city, putting everyone who was listening to the sound to be registered in Synthesis Grid. With this move, Ukiyo had captured 540,000 espers in his network, including the strongest Electromaster, focusing their AIM Diffusion Fields on to him. Due to the influx of AIM Diffusion Fields coming all at once, he almost experienced an AIM Burst, but was later interrupted with the manifestation of black wings. Using the wing's calculation prowess and applying AIM Jammers on himself, using their influence to forcibly stabilize the AIM fields, he managed to bring about a transformation, referred to as **FUZE=Kamirai**.

Under this external influence, lines appeared on Ukiyo's body, along his hands to his fingertips, up the sides of his neck, and on his face, in across his cheeks and down his forehead. The previously black wings were replaced with ethereal cyan ones, and a halo made of the same ethereal cyan with multiple tubes that connected to different parts of his body. Orb-shaped lights also appeared around the glowing wings. On seeing the transformation, Kakine initially wondering if Ukiyo had materialized the AIM diffusion fields, guessed that Ukiyo was using the AIM Jammers (which are supposed to obstruct an esper's powers by messing with their concentration) to alter the minute field and synthesized the fields by constantly adjusting them on the micro level - a feat which was described as inhuman and something none of Academy City's super computers could do. Ukiyo later explained that he broke down and reconstructed the collection of AIM Diffusion Field, merging them to become the wings and halo that it currently is.

Apart from just using the myriad of esper powers granted by the 540,000 espers inside the network, he could clash them together to construct weapons made out of **Shadow Metal** (不在金属(シャドウメタル), *Fuzai Kinzoku*?, lit. "Nonexistent Metal"). When these shadow metals come into contact with Kakine's Dark Matter, a reaction equivalent to Antimatter touching Baryonic Matter occurs, creating an explosion bigger than the biggest nuclear bomb ever created by mankind. Due to the materials used to create the explosion, it was able to destroy Kakine's extremely durable white wings and other dark matter that Kakine used against him.

With the way Synthesis Grid works, all of the collective calculation power of the 540,000 espers boosted the level 1s and 2s into 3 and 4s, and with the addition of Misaka Mikoto, in this state Ukiyo more than qualifies the status of a Level 5 in terms of destructive power and application. As this was a desperate act that required the black wing's calculations, Ukiyo himself doubted he could do it again even if he wanted to.

### Future Gospel

   The mysterious ability that resides in his left eye. it is the ability to communicate through time, being able to receive messages from the future, granting him a form of flawed precognition. Ukiyo awakened this power during the war of Afghanistan and the U.S. When he was being chased by Afghan soldiers, he saw a 'man with white hair and black eyes' that was guiding him to the route that would shake the soldiers of off him. And once he was free, the man had also guided into meeting Xiaoyuki. Since then, the white haired man would continue to appear giving guidance to where he should go, and what to look out for, massively contributing to his successes and fortunes. All of this was the cause of memories from a future Kamirai Ukiyo who was manipulating the past to condition a scenario where he would become The One Above God.

## Equipment

### Synthesis Grid

After receiving a vision of Kiyama Harumi undergoing AIM Burst led Ukiyo to discover Level Upper, he decided to create his own version of it to complete his guise a normal student, a program he called **Synthesis Grid** (万能武装(ジンテーゼ・グリッド), *Ban'nō Busō*, lit. "Multi-purpose Armament"?). By altering how the brainwave scrying works between subject and administrator, Ukiyo removed the function that espers can share experiences, making each subjects brainwave different from each other, but the same to the administrator. Akin to a reverse Star Network where a hub transmits to multiple different devices but not to each other, the Synthesis Grid takes the brainwave waves of different "devices" and takes that information to the "hub." As this was optimized for the acquisition of esper powers and not calculation ability, the administrator can't take as much powers as the Level Upper due to the stress being concentrated to one person unlike the Level Upper which distributes it across all subjects. Because the Synthesis Grid doesn't share calculation power between subjects, they won't be put in a comatose state as the strain won't be enough for them to lose control of the system.

One weakness of Synthesis Grid, and by proxy Level Upper, is that since changing someone's brainwave is as simple as listening to an audio file, it is also as simple to reverse the effect. By turning one's original brainwave into an audio file, and restoring their brainwave, they can escape the network.

All esper powers borrowed through Synthesis Grid are:

* **Secret Research** (Kuramitsu Meruka; Kept)
* **AIM Watcher** (Tsurigane Saryou; Kept)
* **Gravity Sling** (Wanigawa Raifu; Kept)
* **Predator** (Iizumi Rita; Died)
* **Float Dial** (Awatsuki Maaya; Escaped)
* **Meltdowner** (Mugino Shizuri; Escaped)
* **Rampage Dress** (Hokaze Junko; Escaped)
* **Railgun** (Mikoto Misaka; Escaped)
* **Teleport** (Shirai Kuroko; Escaped)
* **Side Arm** (Usukinu Yasumi; Released)
* **Move Point** (Musujime Awaki; Escaped)
* **Telekinesis** (Maidono Hoshimi; Escaped)
* **Offense Armor** (Kihunata Saiai; Escaped)
* **Wave Conductor** (Yumiya Iruka; Escaped)
* **Macro Dying** (Yugure Tsumebakei; Escaped)

### Gáe Dearg

**Gáe Dearg** (必滅の紅薔薇(ゲイ・ジャルグ), *Hitsumetsu no Benibara*, lit. "Crimson Rose of Mortality"?) is Ukiyo's main weapon for battles which were matters of life and death, and used mostly to finish of a weakened opponent. It is a cursed spear 1.4 meters long that inflicts wounds that cannot be healed naturally or with magic. Originating from the legend of Diarmuid Ua Duibhne where he was given his swords and spears by Manannán mac Lir, the god of seas; said to have inflicted wounds that could not be healed.

The abilities of the spear are passive in nature. It does not require its name to be called upon in order to be utilized, allowing it to instantly actualize its curse of mortality upon striking the enemy. The spear lowers the opponent's maximum health limit, thus limiting healing and regeneration abilities to the point where the opponent received the injury. It is a dangerous spear, but only its owner, Diarmuid, can stand up to the tip of Gáe Buidhe and stay uninjured while stepping into it. The effect cannot be normally dispelled, and canceling the curse requires the destruction of the spear. It is just a spear if used in a short-term decisive battle, but thinking based on the assumption that one can fight the same opponent several times over a long period of time, it can be something like a really effective body blow that slowly yet surely works. If the target is not a Saint, it can be expected that the affected wound is fatal as one will bleed to death over time.

### Other Equipment

* **FIVE\_Over Modelcase\_"RAILGUN"** (ファイブオーバー モデルケース・レールガン, *Faibuōbā Moderukēsu Rērugan*?): The most well-known example of a powered suit. Its appearance is described to be like a five-meter-long praying mantis. It has two arms, two legs, and two sickles that can fold if needed to help it stand up. Translucent wings spread out from the armor. A large cylinder-like thing used to store lots of shells rests on its back. There is also a shield on the front side of each of its front legs, with an artificial weapon placed between those shields, a 3-barrel gatling railgun.

* **Steel Glove** (鋼の手袋, *Hagane no Tebukuro*?): Ukiyo once briefly used Bayloupe's Steel Glove in his fight against Kāmachi Kaiga. Despite its simple look, the Steel Glove is a powerful weapon. It can be used as pole arm with a very powerful piercing power, able to pierce through the metal of a car. Also, in conjunction with the symbolic representation of Thor's belt incorporated into the Steel Gloves, increases the arm strength of its user, making it dangerous to even get hit by it. However, its primary usage is for the four blades or claws of the Steel Glove is to "grab" things. Apparently, any object can be grabbed, from large solid objects, to miniscule things such as dust, to even things such as fire. From there, the user can either swing what it grabbed around or throw it at the opponent.

## Trivia

* Kamirai Ukiyo's appearance is taken from Isagi Yoichi from Blue Lock.
* Ukiyo's magic name, ***Parabellum517***, is a reference to the third iteration of the John Wick series, titled **John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum**, with the numbers "517" being the movie's release date, March 17th.
* Parabellum is the second half of a Latin phrase. '**Si vis pacem, para bellum**.' It's basically, If you want peace, then [prepare for] war. So, parabellum is prepare for war.
* Ukiyo's surname contains the kanji for "start" (上 *kami*?) and "next" (来 *rai*?), and his first name contains "to float" (浮 *uki*?) and "world, society" (世 *yo*?). Put together, *Ukiyo Yashiki* would mean something like "*the start of what's to come in the floating world."*
* When other characters reference the pronunciation of "Kamirai," it takes on different and seemingly coincidental meaning. Normally 'Kamirai spelled as (上来) is homophonous to (加未来) meaning "*the future*"
