Introduction[]
Yami Sukehiro is a foreigner from the Hino Country and the first captain of the Clover Kingdom's Black Bull squad of the Magic Knights. He is also a former member of the Grey Deer squad. He is currently a member of the Traveling Strike Force as a senior member.
Personality[]
Yami is uncouth, reckless, slightly hypocritical, and prone to delivering death threats at the slightest provocation. Despite this he is highly respected both for his rank and power who was able to see potential in Asta as such recruited him into his squad.
He believes that action speak louder than words and has quite the temper being easily angered over small things such as being bumped by another person or interrupted when talking. Yami also has a penchant for intimidation whether he uses threatening words or physically harms his target. He also tends to immediately go straight for a more physical solution to any problems or confrontations, such as when he destroys a part of the squad's headquarters to calm his subordinates. Despite being very bull-headed, reckless, and unrefined , Yami is an experienced and perceptive warrior, picking apart his opponent's strategies with a glance and is constantly trying to come up with counters for them.
Furthermore, he also prefers instilling tough love to his subordinates by giving them dangerous missions. He believes that it is the best way for them to overcome their limits and grow stronger. Yami also does not discriminate people according to their social status or circumstances where he is willing to accept Luck Voltia, Noelle Silva, and Asta to join his ranks, even though he is aware of each of their problems. His concern for them is likely tied to his own circumstances, being treated as an outcast in his youth like they are.
He shows great loyalty to those he cares for, such as his squad and his fellow Magic Knight captains, or to his master Julius for taking under his wing and giving him a future. He holds respect and gratitude for those who also saves those his cares for, such as when Sojiro came in and saved Asta from punishment from the Magic Parliament, he and entire squad volunteered to follow him to fight back against the Cult Of The End.
