KAGAMI YUUSUKE. A rising star in the New York Professional Duelling scene. Yuusuke is a head-strong, capable and ferocious tactician whose methods are rooted in tradition and honour. He represents idealism, restraint, fairness and compassion but struggles to balance what is right and what is practical.



CHIPP MACASTER. Yuusuke's hot-headed rival. Though short-tempered and quick to explode, he is among the fiercest classically trained duelists in all of New York City and wields the scarlet-eyes, a deck of cards made to accompany the legendary Red-Eyes Black Dragon and unleash the card's full potential.

HAYASHI AKIKO. The leader of the four horsemen and the primary antagonist of the first season. Akiko is often described as a beautiful yet mysterious woman, she's cunning, confident, manipulative and ruthless. Though just as much of a tactician as Yuusuke, she is revered as being one of the strongest duelists to ever grace the earth...



KIYOKO ALISSON. One of Yuusuke & Chipp's most fearless and loyal companions. Though at one point she was merely a spy working under the Ministry of Darkness, she now aides Yuusuke in his crusade against the forces of Nightmare through her street smarts, and strong-style of duelling.

BIOGRAPHY. Yuusuke Kagami (鏡味遊助, Kagami Yuusuke) is the main protagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh! 2050, as well as the son of Kagami Yoshimizu, or, the Masked Duelist. Much like the man before him, Yuusuke is a headstrong and optimistic duelist with a deep passion and commitment to the game of duel monsters. Unlike his predecessor, however, Yuusuke is less laid back and more actively cognisant of his responsibilities.In his childhood, the impact caused his mother to become comatose and his father to turn up missing, as a result, Yuusuke is raised by his Aunt Midori and Uncle Ishio. Later in life, after beginning to encounter the Ministry of Darkness, Yuusuke is made aware of his own latent supernatural abilities, representing pure light. Upon discovering this, Seto Kaiba pushes him further to take on the increased responsibility as a hero to honour the legacy of those who came before him.

last
wish

No, you don't get it. You don't understand what's important to me or what's important to being a duelist. What's important is not standing idly by and allowing people to create pain and suffering because you do nothing. If you don't get that, then you don't understand the first thing about being a duelist and you will never understand what I've fought for day-in-day out since I was able to pick up a deck of cards and call myself one.

GENERAL CHARACTERIZATION. Neutral Good. Yuusuke is wholly altruistic and believes (mostly) in classic ethical principles and morality. Overall, he is an incredibly warm, welcoming and grateful man who has developed a sensitivity for the people around him and wants to do what is best for his friends and family, especially before himself. Despite his growth as a duelist and an intellect, he remains incredibly humble and aware of his less-than-prestigious upbringing and doesn't let his growth interfere with his ability to relate to others or be widely understood, and doesn't care to flaunt or brag with words, and would much rather prove himself in the ring than with words, money, or material objects. Despite his simplistic and righteous nature, Yuusuke has shown himself to be just as shrewd and intelligent, much more than what most would assume from him, but, is still incredibly fallible and in a constant state of learning and self-improvement. At times, his desire to better himself and do what is right in his eyes unknowingly comes at his own detriment or drives a massive wedge in the relationship he has with others. This, often overwhelms him and can make him prone to grave mistakes or worse.


VIRTUES. Acceptance, authenticity, caring, commitment, compassion, confidence, consideration, contentment, courage, determination, dignity, encouragement, ethical, excellence, fairness, faith, flexibility, forgiveness, friendliness, graciousness, gratitude, honesty, honour, hope, humility, idealism, integrity, justice, kindness, love, loyalty, moderation, modesty, optimism, passionate, patient, peace, perseverance, preparedness, purposefulness, reliability, respect, self-disciplined, sincerity, tact, temperate, thankfulness, tolerance, trust, truthfulness, understanding, unity, wisdom, wonder.
FLAWS. Audacious, fierce, fixated, idealist, indecisive, overzealous, perfectionist, rebellious, soft-hearted, solemn


PERSONALITY. Yuusuke is quick-witted, down-to-earth and honest. He is a fun-loving, friendly and talkative man who is just as capable of expressing his emotions as he is fearless, stoic and valiant. Though unafraid of the danger that may arise from conflict, he will always try to find a way to avoid violent conflict with words and gestures, that is, unless he's been provoked, or encounters those who oppose what he believes in and what is right. When he's ready to fight, Yuusuke gets right to the point. No underhanded tactics, no subterfuge, and no 'dirty' moves; he pulls all the stops and shows whoever stands in his way that he is one of the strongest duelling forces in the world. Despite believing in classic ethics and moral values, when Yuusuke's back is put against the wall he isn't afraid of taking a step too far and using the full extent of his abilities to end another's life when no alternatives exist. Yuusuke lives for competition, risk and self-improvement, and will not stop until he feels 'complete' in himself and his duelling skills. Yuusuke, through and through, just wants to do what is right.


GOALS & AMBITIONS. Yuusuke's goals and ambitions, like any shounen protagonist, are extremely simplistic or nebulous (to some). Unlike most protagonists in the shounen genre, however, Yuusuke's goals don't have a clear end goal and don't revolve around a prize or other tangible object, and extends far past wanting to prove and find himself or holding the title of 'King of Games.' Instead, Yuusuke wants to be the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be and above all else, a family man. He uses duel monsters as a means to provide for his family and friends and the thought of them drives him to succeed no matter the cost. He struggles balancing some of his personal connections and professional connections and by mistake causes issues in his personal life due to his exploits as a duelist.


ORIGIN. Yuusuke was born on the 25th of January, 2033, in Queens, New York City. Like his father and grandfather before him, Yuusuke was part of a notable professional duelling dynasty, who, in the time before 2050, was briefly considered legendary. But, after a life of tragedies, his father, Kagami Yoshimizu (who went by the name Axel Mifune) moved him and his family to New York City away from his roots in the American south. As his father was still a professional duelist on the indies, Yuusuke grew up mainly with his sister and mother and lead a quiet life. At the age of 7, Yuusuke was in the crowd watching Yugi's Last Match against The Masked Duelist, who, after defeating him in an upset victory, handed him his deck in a seemingly random act.Shortly thereafter, Yuusuke was caught in the New York incident. Though he has no recollection of the event, he maintains an incredibly large scar across his entire back. The one thing he can remember after awakening and being saved, was that his family had survived, barring his father and that his mother was now comatose. For the next 10 years, Yuusuke would take up residence with his Aunt and Uncle, who took him and his sister in and treated them like their own. In that time, after having been a lifelong fan of Jaden Yuki, Yuusuke took heavily in his footsteps in wanting to become a full-time professional duelist and master many decks, including his idol's own Elemental HEROes. Though, shortly into his first year at the NY Duel Academy, his poor replica was destroyed, forcing him to use the 'dead man's deck' and use what the Masked Duelist had entrusted him with: The Accel HEROes.

CHARACTER & POWER ANALYSIS. As he is the antithesis to Hayashi Akiko, who is born of Darkness, Yuusuke represents and is born entirely of light, and is one of the many who were brought back to life via the last wish, which brought him back to life after his spinal column was severed in the incident 10 years before the series began.

()

DESC. Yuusuke's temporary elevated state of Clairvoyance.

Clairvoyance. Clairvoyance is not only the name of his mutation, coined by Z-4, it is also the first of his many abilities that he unlocked upon initially discovering that he was a mutant. Yuusuke, through supernatural means, is capable of sensing imminent danger, threat and evil in others, although some are resilient or unable to be detected by him even while his clairvoyance is mastered, though, the effects of all his abilities become significantly weaker if he is distracted or affected by too much stimuli. However, focusing on singular goals or maintaining immense desire or drive at the forefront of his conscience directly correlates to the strength of his abilities overall. So, while in use, he maintains constant focus on his loved ones and uses them to drive his ambitions and powers. It's also been shown that his abilities are highly affected by his own emotions, as, being overwhelmed by them, particularly grief and anger, is capable of causing extreme spikes in his ba and overall power.Much like Akiko, Clairvoyance manifests itself as a transformation of the mind and body and, ironically, triggers as a result of overwhelming emotions, including fear, uncertainty, anxiety and rage. After the initial burst of emotions, Yuusuke is then enveloped in a pale, golden light, causing an endorphin rush that puts him into a zen-like state where he maintains nearly complete control over his focus and mind. Through frequent use of this ability, and unlike Akiko, this transformation eventually becomes a permanent part of him. The change to his personality in this form manifests as grit, determination and a willingness to take things to extreme measures (if necessary) with little concern to risk due to having a reduced capacity to feel tension, fear or anxiety. Even so, Yuusuke has a certain level of apprehension while subject to clairvoyance due to becoming hyper-aware of statistics and probability including chance of failure. Due to this, the relative power of clairvoyance is never perfect, or absolute, except in the case of its full power variation. This evolution, however, is extraordinarily limited and only lasts a brief amount of time.


Supernatural Luck/Supernatural Prediction. Clairvoyance's secondary ability. Yuusuke is capable of accurately predicting statistics, and 'sensing' how his chances at games such as duel monsters change depending on the various conditions inside of the game itself. Due to the increased clarity and reduced capacity to feel fear; Yuusuke is capable of relegating calculations of chance to his subconscious and is capable of playing by 'feel' without thought; as if strategising and luck has become natural to his body rather than his mind and body acting in tandem with one another.Sealing. Yuusuke is capable of locking or sealing away great evil at the cost of large amounts of his energy when certain conditions, usually victory, are met.Penalty Games. Yuusuke is capable of executing divine punishments or penalty upon his opponents when certain conditions, usually victory, are met.Empathic/Morality/Light/Darkness Manipulation. Yuusuke is capable of executing a penance stare-like attack when certain conditions, usually victory, are met. This move, depending on his adversary, is capable of completely purging the darkness in someone's heart and replacing it with light, making it unable to return. In the case of beings composed of 'pure evil,' or the undead, it will kill or erase them instead.Soul Manipulation/Summoning. While in his clairvoyant state, Yuusuke, outside of Shadow Games, can conjure his cards as real constructs to act in defence of himself. When his powers are at a fever pitch and he enters his full power state, this flips on its head, and he is able to completely cut loose and use these summoned monsters, spells and traps in an offensive manner, but, not in a defensive manner, making his mind, body and soul vulnerable to attack.


Resistance to Mind & Soul tampering. Yuusuke, due to his experiences and sheer willpower, is highly resistant to mind and soul tampering, as he resisted Akiko (and Nightmare by extension's) brainwashing abilities after Akiko's 'natural' attempts at coercing and manipulating him failed. During the third act, Yuusuke, though heavily affected, survived a mind crush from Dark Yugi and later in his after-story rematch against Akiko.Magic Manipulation. Yuusuke's powers allow him to command, create and manipulate magical forces, mainly stemming from those contained in duel monsters cards. As previously mentioned, like many psychic duelists and similar characters, is able to bring out his monsters, spells and traps as real life constructs and apply their effects during duel monsters and general combat.Existence Erasure. When Yuusuke is pushed to his very limit, he is able to go past inflicting a simple divine punishment and is capable of completely vanquishing an evil spirit from all existence, such as Nightshade. This comes at a heavy cost, however, and will exhaust him to a near fatal degree.Fate Manipulation. Yuusuke is able to bend an evil-doers fate and cast them into reincarnation instead of being slain, such as in the case of Nightmare himself, whose human incarnation, Santiago Calaway, eventually returned to life, as well as a few select mutants whose souls were not held by Akiko.

BIOGRAPHY. Hayashi Akiko (林明子) is the first major antagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh! 2050 and a recurring rival of both Chipp Macaster and Kagami Yuusuke. Among other things, Akiko is touted as the original psychic-duelist and the firstborn modern mutant. She is also the highest-ranking member of the Royal Violet dorm and the leader of the Four Horsemen.Much like Yami Marik and Bakura before her, Akiko (or at least this Akiko) as she appears most commonly is the Yami (闇, 'Dark') second personality of her real-self that was awoken when she fell into the grasp of Nightmare. Despite being a darker counterpart. Unlike her predecessors, 'Yami Akiko' is now the only Akiko (as this personality is what manifested as her ka during mutagenesis) and cannot be erased or destroyed. Upon her defeat at the hands of Yuusuke and subsequent return, she takes on a much less villainous and benevolent role, finding that her ambitions now align with that of the heroes.

death

Don't mistake me for what I am... I am no human, 'nor mutant.
I am the emissary of death, and I've come this place for you...

(RELATIONSHIP:) KAGAMI YUUSUKE. Kagami Yuusuke, although at one point her mortal enemy soon grew to be her closest friend and then eventually the father of her child. Despite having little capacity for emotion, Akiko when engaging with him, comes 'alive' and feels comfortable expressing herself whenever he is around.(RELATIONSHIP:) CHIPP MACASTER. Akiko's first real rival. Although the two, just like Yuusuke have their struggles; she feels a longing and sense of sorrow for what happened in their youths. Despite her wicked and malicious tendencies, She strongly desires to 'right the wrongs' of their past. Despite her relationship with Yuusuke, she loves and cares for him deeply, even if she hardly shows it.

(RELATIONSHIP:) SANTIAGO CALAWAY (TITAN). Despite being told by Nightmare that this man was nothing more than a 'brainwashed servant' made to act as her cover, Akiko's relationship with the man once known as 'Titan' is one of deep respect and kinship. Some days after the incident, she appeared before him and was subsequently taken under his wing, and in the years following inherits his gimmick while in her 'full power' state; portraying herself as the daughter of Titan.(RELATIONSHIP:) HINOTE KAITO.

GENERAL CHARACTERIZATION. Anti-Hero/Villain. Akiko will always be a morally ambiguous figure whose iniquity casts a shadow over darkness itself. Whether or not her nightmarish mind is put to aiding the righteous or indulging the wicked is irrelevant; she will always be a highly enigmatic and complex figure who embraces and embodies the very concept of darkness and the fears of all living things, for she represents darkness itself. To put who or what she is in a single phrase; Hayashi Akiko is death itself. She lives for no purpose other than to pass people on to the realm of death and is not someone who can easily be pleased or associated with. Despite acting highly arrogant herself, she despises arrogance and commends sincere, righteous bravery and those who understand their 'place' in this world. Though at one point mortal, she's lost touch with that mortality and now tows a fine line between being a compassionless, benevolent being, and a tender-hearted companion to her few allies.


VIRTUES. Prudence, justice, fortitude, honour, nobility, order, fierce, fixated, diligent, patient
FLAWS. Disturbed, prejudiced, perfectionist, rageful, spiteful, vengeful, abusive, arrogant, audacious, blunt, callous, cursed, deranged, gluttonous, hard, indifferent, lustful, oppressor, sadist, seducer, solemn, spiteful, stubborn, unpredictable, withdrawn, manipulative, violent

PERSONALITY. A calm and collected individual, Akiko handles most situations that would induce anxiety or terror in the average person with an unsettling amount of ease. In most cases, Akiko's emotions seem mostly subdued, though, she is capable of being humoured and jovial in select instances. Underneath her stone-like demeanour, Akiko is a deeply disturbed and mournful woman, whose true emotions and feelings only show themselves when she is faced with adversity or is otherwise challenged. While in the heat of a duel, she is prone to toying, taunting and playing very deceitfully; acting with great arrogance, hatred or indifference as a means to cripple her opponent's spirit, or, to drive them to taking extreme measures so she can face them (and crush them) at their full power. Deep down inside she is extremely wrathful, vindictive and vengeful, though, after being touched by Yuusuke's light, puts much of her hatred and malice aside, making her far less wrathful and an overall more gentle person, though still maintains her stone-like demeanour to most. As time goes on, she becomes more tender-hearted, and affectionate to humans, though maintains a level of distance to most due to what she is and how the way she experiences life being fundamentally different from others.


GOALS & AMBITIONS. Although acting under Nightmare's all-seeing eye, Akiko primarily sought to have the "Ultimate Duel," a match so destructive and cataclysmic that it could ultimately kill her and, in the process, destroy the entire world so that she and the souls of the other children that had since become amalgamated into her could finally rest, undermining and ruining her master's plans. Due to her immortality making this dream impossible, she wishes for strong opponents that may end her boredom of life and entertains herself through duelling.

ORIGIN. Hayashi Akiko's origin is largely detailed in the Arc-1 Notes. Like all members of the Ministry of Darkness, 'Akiko' is one of the hundred and two children who perished in the New York incident. She is reborn as Nightmare's "first daughter" to lead the other buried souls and ultimately take over the world. Who or what she is and what she was before the present is largely left ambiguous and steeped in mysticism, so much so that even among other members, and her closest allies; everything about her before the present is entirely unknown.What is 'known' about her is that she is an only child. She was inspired by, taken in and trained by Santiago Calaway at the SIDA Duel Complex, and took on a similar gimmick and style as the man formerly known as Titan. In her time on the indie duelling circuit before entering Seto Kaiba's new duel academy, she was (briefly) in a tag-team with Kishi Reeds, and a one-time JFV Champion.


CHARACTER POWER ANALYSIS. Akiko is among one of the strongest duelists in her mythos, and the most powerful duelist within the Ministry of Darkness. Akiko, in contrast to her peers and siblings was reborn, altered and trained from the time of her undeath to be the ultimate duelist. Despite being labelled as the 'first psychic duelist,' by Yusei Akiko is not a psychic duelist in similar fashion to characters such as Akiza Izinski, but, something much more due to her status as a mutant. She refers to her powers as 'Psychokinesis,' or, the 'grand telepathy.' At times, she has been shown to do relatively elementary things like making damaging effects real, or, conjuring monsters and other card effects into reality, light acts of reality warping or complete existence erasure; feats psychic duelists alone are unable to do. Her great power, however, did not arise overnight; and even she has her limits, as her powers are just as much a curse as they are an incredibly powerful tool. As part of her contract with Nightmare, Akiko only exists in the present, unable to age and unable to die, and must constantly use her powers to maintain the illusion that she is merely human, which puts her under constant strain. If she isn't gathering energy or souls, she will regress in stature before being reduced entirely to ash and sent into limbo. To compensate for this, Akiko's abilities are tied to a burial urn that acts as a battery that she must gather energy from, and give up souls to in order to sustain herself. Due to having consumed the entirety of the Ministry, Akiko is capable of maintaining a baseline level of physicality for an indefinite period of time; however, uses its power very sparingly and will willingly spend time within it as a pile of ash to conserve or naturally replenish its energy over time.

High Telekinesis. Akiko, despite being labelled as a 'psychic', has shown the ability to move things with only her mind telepathically. Additionally, she can observe and carry arrangements of molecules such as atoms to deconstruct, alter and even erase the existence of some things, or in other words, warp reality. Despite this, Akiko very rarely tampers with reality due to her imprecision and the extreme amount of risk attached. Any use of her abilities causes tremendous energy loss, and stress, which limits her overall power ceiling and mental composure.Energy-Based Composition. Although Akiko generally appears as a 'normal' human being, Akiko is made up of a highly variable dark essence that is a deep, rich purple and black/pink along the edges. This form is usually only seen when she takes heavy damage when she is extremely low on energy or (briefly) before she transforms, and is the physical projection of her soul. She can increase or decrease the size of this composition and transform into her various forms by expending more or less energy. When Akiko runs out of energy, this substance slowly fades out of existence itself, and she becomes relegated to ashes inside of her urn.Extrasensory Perception. Akiko has senses that are not only sharper and far more sensitive and precise than most humans and mutants. Unlike most 'psychic duelists,' Akiko can exert large amounts of energy and focus on reading, tampering and communicating with the minds of others within a fairly close distance to her. She cannot use this ability easily or subconsciously and only uses it when absolutely necessary. She has a much easier time reading the minds and communicating telepathically with those she has a stronger emotional or physical attachment to. However, she is almost entirely unable to use any form of telepathy while in a standing or riding duel.Hypnosis/Illusions/Mindgames/Information Manipulation. Akiko's specialty. Naturally, Akiko is highly adept at persuasion, mind games and manipulation with her voice alone, but is capable of using her powers to do all manner of things to her foes... Akiko is a master manipulator, and has used her abilities to change the way others perceive things so that she may gain their trust to absorb or slay them.

Regeneration/Durability. Akiko can remain unphased or only slightly injured from most forms of physical injury and quickly reconstitute and regenerate her body from varying degrees of harm. She has been shown to effortlessly rejuvenate herself even after being reduced to ash. She, however, is incredibly susceptible to soul-based attacks and thus is most vulnerable during shadow games.Soul/Energy Absorption & Manipulation. Akiko can drain any living creature of their soul/life energy (ba/ka in the manga), as well as energy from typical electrical sources and regular eating of food. She requires this energy to sustain herself and her powers and cannot function without it. When she specifically consumes the soul of a living creature, or spirit, she gains dominance over their very being, and thus absorbs who they are. After a long period of time, these souls become a permanent fixture of her, and are 'cleansed,' which strips away any former identity they once had, making them unable to be recovered or resurrected. At this time, Akiko, now with complete control over them may adds them to her long list of familiars. As a result, Akiko, Akiko's souls and these absorbed beings are all collectively 'Akiko' and thus, any soul-based attack or reference to Akiko herself refers to her and everyone inside of her at once. Akiko has also been exhibited to enhance the abilities of other duelists, particular those during shadow games to inflict extra damage to one's soul, or, to greatly alter their ka (in the case of mutants).Familiar Control/Magic Manifestation. Unlike standard Psychic Duelists, Akiko can manifest her monsters and all card effects into reality, not just ones that inflict damage. Additionally, she can conjure the souls of those she has captured and 'cleansed' for many different purposes at varying costs of her own energy.Intangibility/Gravity Defiance/Teleportation. Akiko can walk through solid objects, such as walls, doors and even people, and has the capacity to ignore the laws of gravity outright for (extremely) limited flight purposes. In most cases when she needs to cover long distances, Akiko is capable of becoming one with shadows and teleporting wherever one is cast, so long as it is a known or visible location.

Supernatural Strength, Speed, Reflexes and Endurance. Akiko, akin to a vampire, has extremely high amounts of strength, speed, reflexes and endurance and is capable of withstanding blows from almost everything but duel spirits who are divine in nature due to their ability to damage her souls.Reality Warping. As aforementioned, Akiko is capable of focusing on and moving the base elements of the universe during extreme focus. This can allow her to warp reality on some level, but is very rarely used due to the extreme amount of danger and harm it can cause to not only her, but the entire world or universe and thus only uses this ability during moments she considers past 'extreme'.Existence Erasure/Penalty Game. Akiko (if she chooses) is capable of erasing someone's existence rather than neutralising and absorbing their essence in the event she kills or defeats someone. This, however, costs her a large quantity of her souls and thus reserves this for the same situations where she would use her reality warping due to the extreme instability this causes to reality. In any other case, winning a battle will result in her casting someone's mind, body and soul into the darkness inside of herself to become one with her.Undead/Immortality. Akiko, upon her resurrection, is completely immortal. She is completely immune from most diseases and conventional aging, even when using her 'real' body. While in her psychic state, Akiko has suffered extreme amounts of injury or outright vaporisation only to reform herself in a matter of moments."The Urn." Akiko, as mentioned previously, is bound to her urn, which acts as a power battery that passively takes a share of any energy she attains either by 'human' means or by absorbing others. It is the medium of which all her abilities stem from, and also acts as the vessel in which the ashes which make up her 'true' form reside in and reconstitute whenever she chooses to give up her psychic abilities. Despite its capacity being theoretically infinite, Akiko is only able to take away so much energy before its seal stops the flow, and either reduces her to her base physicality, or locks her inside itself if she takes more than she is otherwise allotted.

"PURE FORM AKIKO"

"YAMI AKIKO"
(闇明子)

DESC. Yami Akiko, despite not being the 'real' Akiko, is Akiko's most seen or default form, representing her as she would appear in the present, or her 'ideal' form. This form of Akiko appears close to a woman in her early twenties and resembles her former self in life only very little. In this form, she grows to be much larger, curvier and generally 'more adult' by nature, and is generally described as a stoic and beautiful young noblewoman.As a Dark Super Mutant, her form fluctuates based on damage and energy.

DESC. Akiko's second awakened state.

Her hair and skin tone take on a much more colorful and vivid tone more in-line with her mother rather than being drained, lifeless and cold like her other forms; alluding to a more natural and 'lifelike' appearance, unlike a corpse.

  • All of Akiko's forms/appearances, barring her 'pure' state, are drawn based on several traits of female stars from the golden age of Hollywood, leading actresses from the Kaiju Eiga period of Tokusatsu, fused with existing Yu-Gi-Oh characters.

  • Akiko's 'pure form' appearance is based almost entirely on her creator by looks, but, adopts traits from her other forms.

  • Despite appearing the oldest out of everyone in her year, Akiko is actually the youngest in the grade overall.

  • Akiko, in concept, was heavily inspired by characters such as the Hulk or Broly, and takes on an aspect of the former's being alternate personalities being born from childhood traumas. Akiko's 'full power' awakened state in-fact is based on the alter-ego of the former Kluh and the Devil Hulk.
