"...And I love taking my time... though not as much as the moment my target dies..." — Yushohi in "Predation" |
Yushohi (ウショウヒ, Ushouhi)[1] is a high-ranking soldier in the Royal Army of the Kakin Empire, and one of the personal soldiers of Prince Benjamin.[2] Originally under orders from Prince Benjamin to be Prince Fugetsu's bodyguard, he's since been reassigned to become Prince Salé-salé's bodyguard.[1]
Appearance[]
Yushohi has fair hair styled in a buzz-cut, sharp features, and a gaunt face. He wears the standard Kakin military attire of zipper jacket, pants, and dark combat boots.[3] Like the rest of Benjamin's personal soldiers, he wears an earpiece in his left ear.[1]
Personality[]
Yushohi appears to enjoy killing people. While thinking about how his Stand by Me might be identified, he described his enjoyment in taking his time, but also said that he enjoys the moment a target of his dies even more. Despite this enjoyment, he maintains professionalism and remembers to do his duties, and does not display any outward emotion.[1]
Background[]
As one of the First Prince's soldiers, Yushohi graduated from Kakin's Royal Military Academy and became a part of his army.[4]
Plot[]
Succession Contest arc[]
Right before the Black Whale sets off, Yushohi and Benjamin's thirteen other personal soldiers listen to their captain Balsamilco's briefing on the structure of the Black Whale 1, arrangements made for the safety of the Princes, and orders on how to act.[2]
After Benjamin returns to Room 1001 after the departure ceremony and speaks with Balsamilco, he orders his fourteen soldiers to both protect and report on all the other princes. Benjamin informs them to exercise extreme caution in ascertaining the unknown abilities of the Princes' Guardian Spirit Beasts and the Hunters' abilities, and authorizes them to use lethal force in self-defense.[3] Yushohi becomes the Royal Bodyguard for Prince Fugetsu.[5] To avoid being detected by the En fields from nearby residential quarters, he chooses not to deploy his own. He attaches a Stinger Ball to Fugetsu, but before it can take effect, she teleports more than 20 meters away from him, terminating the ability.[note 1] He uses other Stinger Balls as a simple way of identifying other Nen users hiding their identity in her service.[1]
On the fifth day, after Rihan's Predator counters Prince Salé-salé's Guardian Spirit Beast, Rihan requests to be substituted by Yushohi so the guardian-less prince can be assassinated with Stand by Me. Over Benjamin's personal soldier's communication system, Yushohi reports that Fugetsu's Guardian Spirit Beast is hypothesized to be able of translocation, but adds that it may be possible Fugetsu can become invisible or otherwise undetectable. Shortly after, Yushohi receives orders to change shifts with Rihan, and begins guarding Salé-salé.[1]
The following day, Yushohi discreetly assassinates Prince Salé-salé and reports the matter to his superiors.[6]
Abilities & Powers[]
Yushohi has received military training.[3] He has proven to be fairly analytical.[1]
Nen[]
Yushohi is a Nen user; however, his superior Balsamilco Might believes him to be less knowledgeable than Hunters in that regard.[7] He can use at least Hatsu and En,[1] and therefore also Ren and Ten.[8] His Nen ability was extolled as the most suitable for assassination among Benjamin's 14 personal soldiers.[1]
Yushohi's Nen Abilities | ||
---|---|---|
Type: Unknown | Stand by Me (殺人を無罪にする方法 Sutando bai Mī, lit. "How to Get Away with Murder") | |
An ability meant for assassination that Yushohi starts by summoning a "Stinger Ball" (虫射球 Needle Ball), an insect-sized orb with four wings and a needle, to which he assigns a target. After an incubation period of unspecified length, the ability kills the target through unknown means. The incubation period is much longer for non-users than for Nen users. Stand by Me is terminated if the target moves more than 20 meters away from Yushohi, who is not notified about the ability's deactivation. If a Stinger Ball is found and removed from the target, the ability can never be used on that target again.[1] Since the buzzing sound of a Stinger Ball can only be heard by Nen users, the ability also allows Yushohi to tell them apart from non-users.[1] It is unclear whether this is because the construct is emitted or because it is part of a Conjuration ability which Yushohi has designed to be perceivable only by Nen users. Regardless of the Nen type involved in its manifestation, a degree of Manipulation may also be required. |

Trivia[]
- Yushohi's Nen ability is fittingly named after ABC's television series How to Get Away with Murder.
- The tankōbon release of Chapter 381 in Volume 37 added the name Stand by Me (スタンドバイミー, Sutando bai Mī) to Yushohi's Nen ability. However, this change was not present in the English volume.
- Yushohi's hair is dark in a panel in Chapter 374.

Notes
- ↑ Given the proximity of Fugetsu and Kacho's rooms, it is likely that the time Fugetsu moved far enough to unknowingly terminate Yushohi's Stand By Me was when she used her Guardian Spirit Beast's ability to travel to Tier 3 on Day 4. This would imply that he first attempted to use his Stand By Me sometime that day.
