“by traitor I don’t literally mean he is a traitor” yet ha, out of everyone Kimizuki is the most likely to have the potential to become a traitor to the squad. Kind of good news it won’t be out of malice rather simply he truly meant what he said, his sister comes first.



That's a good after writing that it is easy to state that it’s worth a thought, but hopefully not a serious one thing. Even after Yu emphasised that family is important, and Kimizuki’s insistence that he is in this for his sister, it was him escaping with the others when Abaddon was summoned and they fled from both the Japanese Imperial Demon Army and vampires that was a defining trait. Don’t think Kimizuki escaped to survive but because he trusted his squad enough that he knew they would help get Mirai back when they could.

After all he could have said something like "forget this, Mirai’s right there, going to get her." Yet he didn't and not because of multiple deadly threats literally on all sides, not even with Guren pulling the stunt he pulled, but virtually entirely out of dedication to his squad. Maybe he also remembers Yu had to do the same when Mika was so close yet so far when those two came into contact again at Shinjuku. This is why despite saying and acting that his sisters safety comes first, which it does, it comes first working within the parameters that his friends are just as important.

Kimizuki, surprisingly it has to be said considering how he first started when he was introduced, does show quite a nice caring side. In a matter of fact way, showing how omelettes are made on behalf of the team, to more practically such as defending Yoichi on more than one occasion. Then there is a personal aspect of it such as his view towards Mika. Instances such as not approving of Makato’s test on Mika to see what he thought of their blood, it was a nice gesture to not allow Makato to pick on Mika and put him on the spot.

Context for Kimizuki leaving the squad to check on his sister in Chapter 77: Yu is fine as he waits on a stretcher for his memories to be extracted as Shinoa is rushed away as she is turning into a vampire. They all hear a battle taking place nearby, everything is a bit hectic to put it mildly. That when chaos erupts Kimizuki heads straight to his sister may mean he has changed from being willing, or being forced to leave her as he done before. After learning she is still alive, this time perhaps Kimizuki thinks there is no leaving her again, that Mirai’s importance is higher than that of the squad now.

Equally as likely is maybe Kimizuki feels that at least his squad can defend themselves, Mirai cannot so go to defend her is the thinking. If he is a traitor for this, he would not care. Kimizuki has made up his mind, in dire conditions Shinoa is gone, battle nearby, just spend time with his sister hence why he went alone. This would be the new do anything for his sister path he is on, just focusing on Mirai over anyone else.

As it stands, Kimizuki has essentially deserted the squad which is made even worse that he was aware a battle was occurring. Even more worse that this desertion to choose his sister over duty dramatically increased the chances for Yu to get kidnapped, which he did since there were fewer people around to guard him from potential traps that were actually sprung. With Kimizuki’s rank he would surely be deemed a traitor, that is if there was anyone to hold him responsible. Everyone and their grandmothers are being attacked, there is no one with any time to think “the first is attacking us, Yu has been kidnapped, vampires are here, oh I know let’s discipline Kimizuki for going to see if his sister is all good” XD

Complex indeed with his feelings for his squad and sister, was this specific moment truly meant to demonstrate Kimizuki now holds his sisters safety as more important? Or again was it simply out of practicality, the squad are fine sitting with Yu as he waits for his memories to be tapped into, sister is all by herself with a battle going on, make sure she is safe may have been going through his mind. Which is perfectly fine from our view, makes sense what is Kimizuki supposed to just stand around doing nothing with the potential danger at hand? He clearly thought otherwise and for better or worse took the option he did yet all and all we would have to see his later actions for confirmation.

Wrong or right move, it’s an it makes sense move for anyone in Kimizuki’s shoes who has a heart. Yet it’s a good point about breaking squad formation when things seemed tough (a worst time to desert a squad) so something truly compelling must have instigated that action.

First, you raised one good reason without explicitly stating it, Kimizuki matching Yu’s reaction. Yu’s response to a battle was to focus ever more on helping someone who needed it, hurrying the scientists to carry out the memory process with the rapidly decreasing amount of time available. Kimizuki followed suit, extreme circumstances just caused them both to knuckle down and help someone, his sister in Kimizuki’s case.

That is a brilliant thought about Kiseki-o being a factor in Kimizuki leaving to check his sister (and awful if a demon’s actions is responsible to him being labelled a traitor!) Is certainly fascinating that demons can have a premonition or have innate instincts for incoming troubles.



Certainly persuasive that the demons may have sensed something was soon to be amiss. It does raise further questions such as what caused Yoichi and Narumi to join Kimizuki over Yu since Mitsuba decided to stay behind, and yet maybe an easy teammates are helping both Kimizuki and Yu with them split between them.

Another thought, if the demons thought something bad was being directed towards Mirai could they have not sensed the Hyakuya Sects imminent plot much closer to Yu? Unlikely, thinking out loud unless they could not sense this Jigenso demon or if this was deception on it’s part. If Jingenso is powerful enough to create tears in reality, certainly would not outrule it has come means to give the impression of a threat towards Mirai to cause the other demons to take their owners away from the mark (Yu of course).

Lot's of areas to contemplate, think it’s another great theory! Kimizuki may be a traitor if he intentionally left knowing that Yu would be kidnapped (the Hyakuya Sect say they want to save him, maybe Kimizuki looked the other way if he had some inkling of what was going on). Maybe a traitor for leaving the squad more so with the results it had. Also the possibility he had not a clue of the situation the squad was in, or had total comprehension so thought forget it going to check on his sister. Yet maybe he done the best thing if his actions help Mirai from possible dangers and no one even thinks 'traitor' but 'hero', it can branch out in so many ways!
