Bikū is a Makai Priestess purposed as a Darkness Hunter in the events of The Makai Flower. She makes her return as the protagonist of Bikū Darkness Slasher and in Makai Tales.

Personality[]

Bikū is a Darkness Hunter, a solo internal affairs priestess with the power to prosecute anyone within the Makai Order. Because of the nature of the job (to seek and destroy corrupted members within their order), she's a pariah and not well received by any that cross paths with her. Despite facing contempt and criticism, she righteously believes her responsibilities is a necessary one to keep people in line and neutralize all threats from darkness and evil. So deep in her conviction that she would take down her own fallen brother, Izumo, who lost his way and was corrupted by a Horror. However, Bikū is by no means a cruel person.

She respects the strong and shows mercy to the desperate. Bikū is willing to let go of former transgressions if the person shows a real change for the good. In her brief encounter with Raiga, she has proven herself a worthy ally and won their trust. Despite gaining respect from her peers, she often leads a hermit lifestyle, always training and moving on to the next potential threat. Her greatest view of things would change after battling the founders of the darkness hunters and taking on an apprentice.

In her journey in becoming a stronger hunter, she met Daichi Kurama, the son of a corrupted priestess she eliminated. Despite their awkward history, Daichi never resented Bikū and event wants to become a darkness hunter himself. It was also during this time that she would face Zesshin and learn the terrible actions of her mentor, Byakkai. Up until now, she thought a corrupted spirit was the only threat to the world but she learned a person of the light can still cause harm; this changed her perception of the world and that evil isn't the only threat for her to look out for. It was through all these experiences (coupled by the fact she's the last hunter) that she agreed to take on Daichi as an apprentice.

History[]

Origins[]

Bikū is known in the Makai Community as a Darkness Hunter, a type of Makai Priestess who specializes in the internal affairs of the Makai Order by checking reports of Makai Knights and Priests who have fallen to the darkness or have become possessed by a Horror. Her job includes checking the purity of a Makai Agent's soul and assassinating those individuals who are fully tainted or evil, sometimes with the aid of a Makai Knight that a Watchdog or the Senate assigns to her. She then cremates the bodies of the possessed in a ceremony so the souls can find peace and ascend into the afterlife and also so the Horror's Jakki can be fully purified so it cannot revive in the corpse.

The Makai Flower[]

Bikū first appears in the episode Red Lotus, chasing down the fallen Makai Knight, possessed by a Horror. She is later assigned to work with Raiga Saejima and his team by the Watchdogs, due to her target being one of the Slab Horrors, though she initially refuses the aid without testing their abilities. She manages to best Crow in their bout, but once she faces Raiga in a standoff, she immediately admits defeat. Eventually, they track down the Makai Knight Izumo and Bikū assists Raiga in dealing the killing blow, before cremating the Knight's corpse. She later reveals that Izumo is her younger brother, though doesn't show any signs of sadness, saying that this is the path of the Darkness Hunter. As she leaves the group, Bikū explains that her next target is the man who freed the Slab Horrors.

Abilities[]

  • Makai Priestess/Darkness Hunter Training: Bikū is a trained Makai Priestess, but made into a Darkness Hunter. As such, her sensitivity to sensing dark intentions is greater than priests and knights. Although trained in the offensive magical arts against Horrors, her skills have been re-purposed to take down corrupted members of makai society. Because of this, her combat strength rivals that of knights and the strongest of priests with autonomous permission by the Makai Order to neutralize any who stray into darkness.
