Kyouji's Story
Kyouji is a mystery. Everyone knows he's a
mystery. He knows he's seen as a mystery, and he doesn't care. Well,
check that. I wouldn't be surprised if he was getting a bit of an amusement
kick at the undercurrent of discomfiture that his presence causes. It's
not that he's a nasty freak like Fudo; he's a rather nice, pleasant person,
actually. He's from Babylon City. Everyone knows this, Kyouji makes
absolutely no secret of it. Yet here he is in Lower Town, complacently
following MakubeX's orders like any other good subordinate.
What gets everyone is the "why". "To observe," Kyouji
says blandly, with a tiny, Cheshire Cat's I-know-something-you-don't-know grin.
It's an answer that doesn't answer the question. The reason's why
he's observing and to whom he reports his observations are, outside the fact
that it's to and for Babylon City, total unknowns. Mention of that place's
name is enough to put even the upper echelons of Lower Town on edge. Even
Raitei wasn't powerful enough to broach that place.
But Kyouji polite about it and MakubeX is polite about it, so everybody else
has no choice but to be polite about it, and everyone ends up distrusting each
other in private.
Not that there's much even MakubeX can do to gainsay the situation. Kyouji
is on a par with Akabane in a fight. His weapon of choice is as his last
name (kagami= mirror) suggests-- mirrors. By extension, glass.
He doesn't need to carry any around, being apparently capable of generating
and reshaping it on the spot. By far his favorite technique is "Diamond
Dust". Scattering untold billions of powder-fine glass shards, he
can manipulate them well enough to create dozens of mirror images of himself
in the thin glass fog. What his opponents usually forgets to notice is
that they are still razor sharp glass shards, and they are floating around
in the breathable air. One good whiff and your lungs are suddenly sliced
to mincemeat. If that doesn't kill you quick enough, they'll eventually
start working into your bloodstream through your pores. On the defensive
side (not that he needs to use it much) is speed enough to match Akabane, and
an ability to switch himself out with a mirror image in a blink.
SPOILERS
(black on black, so just highlight to read)
Kyouji's got the hots for HIMIKO?!?!?!?
Well, that's what he's currently confessing to, anyway. He makes another
appearance in volume 22 of the manga, getting sent by MakubeX to give Ban and
Himiko a hand. However, the reason he agreed to go, as he flat out says
straight to Ban's face, is that he's head-over-heels in love with Himiko and
is there to help her in any way he can. Her stubborn ingenuity in their
fight way back during the "IL" mission apparently impressed him quite
a bit. He minces no words in admitting that he fell for her shortly thereafter.
...But Kyouji is one who's undoubtedly good at straight faced lies, and there's
just something too far fetched about it to make me want to believe him right
away. It could just be paranoia on my part, though. Weirder things have
happened in GB…
