Darkbolt/Characters

This page describes the many characters of the Long Runner webcomic Darkbolt.

Naoko Yamino
Host of Darkbolt, the Demon of Darkness. Naoko is the comic's reluctant but iron-willed heroine and the leader of the Demon hosts. She is specifically chosen by Dakuu because she's a shy and meek bookworm who he thinks will be powerless to resist Darkbolt's will. That doesn't work out too well for them.


 * Cool Sword:
 * Determinator: In the vein of all good anime protagonists.
 * I Just Want to Be Normal: She starts out largely fighting just so that the Tenma will leave her to return to a normal life.
 * : Subverted.
 * Jekyll and Hyde: It's repeatedly Lampshaded that Naoko is almost a completely different person when transformed for battle, becoming almost implacable and ruthless.
 * Lady of War: Grows up into this.
 * Meaningful Name: "Yamino" means "of the darkness" or "dark."
 * Power Nullifier:
 * Shrinking Violet: At first, but this fades through Adrenaline Makeover.
 * The biggest step away from this comes during the climax of "Song" when she realizes that with Darkbolt's power, she has no reason to fear anything again.
 * Talking in Your Dreams: With Darkbolt.
 * Technical Pacifist: At the start of the series, she couldn't even watch her friend's martial arts tournament and wondered why people liked that sort of thing. Even later, she repeatedly expresses weariness at all the fighting before finally becoming a Martial Pacifist who trains in the sword with Yun.
 * Wide Eyed Idealist: Young Naoko tends to blindly trust people who want peaceful resolutions.
 * Unwanted Harem: Played for drama, rather than laughs.
 * You Gotta Have Colorful Hair: Dark green yet unremarkable.

Mariko Ikusa
Host of the Demon of War. A high school friend of Naoko and Yun. She is a tough tomboy with great talent in martial arts and sports.

""What? I though you said you weren't gonna waste any time talking!""
 * A Day in The Limelight: The never-finished spin-off game "Darkbolt: Summons" was supposed to have Mari as the main character.
 * Badass Normal: At first. She manages to kick around a freshly revived Darkbolt for a page or two before he gets more serious. After he craters her into a wall, and she lives through it, he considers her a good host for War.
 * Blood Knight: Does come to love a good fight almost as much as War.
 * Cute Bruiser: Tomboy to Naoko's girly-girl. Red oni to Yun's blue.
 * Cute Little Fangs
 * Elemental Powers: Blades, wolves, and blood are her main theme.
 * Chain Pain: Bloodbound Link.
 * Deadly Disc: War Blades.
 * Flechette Storm: Razor Storm.
 * Summon Magic: War Wolves.
 * Hot Blooded: More and more so as her and War start to work together.
 * Meaningful Name: "Ikusa" can mean "war" or just a "battle" or "match."
 * Red Eyes Take Warning: Especially when they become Glowing Eyes of Doom.
 * Talk to The Fist: Versus


 * The Worf Effect: Happens more often over time. Mari's almost as reckless as Ikkou but not as close in sheer destructive power.
 * You Gotta Have Colorful Hair: Blonde native Japanese girl.

Yun Shino
Host of the Demon of Death. A high school friend of Naoko, Mariko, and Ikkou. He spends much of his time training in kenjutsu and spirituality at a local temple. Yun is has a calm and wise demeanor that hides a lot of turmoil over his relationship with his distant parents.


 * Badass Normal: Just like Mariko, he managed to get some good cuts in on Darkbolt before he got serious. This also impressed him enough to consider Yun for Death.
 * Cool Pet: Shoki, a crow Yun saves.
 * Cool Sword:
 * Elemental Powers: Death, ghosts, darkness, and crows are his main theme.
 * The Grim Reaper: Yun's "Death Soul" attack summons this with a Soul Cutting Sinister Scythe.
 * Necromancer: He's got power over Death. Being a good guy he mostly uses this for instant-kills, exorcisms, and resurrection.
 * Summon Magic: Can summon crows.
 * Master Swordsman: He grows into this.
 * Meaningful Name: "Shino" can mean "of death" or "Death's."
 * Parental Abandonment: His father is rarely home, and his mother's not much better according to him.
 * Abusive Dad: Yun's father manages in the first scene you see him to insult Yun and Mariko's hair and the genders they imply and tells him to take his time getting home from a trip and not to bother him if he gets into trouble.
 * Shipper On Deck: Yun prodded Ikkou to ask out Naoko because he's friends with both.
 * Spider Sense: Even before bonding with Death, Yun could sense the presence of the Demons and later shows that he can track them.

 * Technical Pacifist: Refuses to kill Kansha when he has her at his mercy.
 * Wise Beyond His Years

Ikkou Zenkai
Host of the Demon of Destruction. He is introduced as a friend of Yun who has a crush on Naoko but can't work up the courage to ask her out. Hot-headed and reckless, he becomes the host of Destruction when he gets caught up in a fight between Naoko and General Dakuu. Unfortunately, he's unable to control Destruction, who takes over his body for the first arc.

Ikkou's hot-temper leads him to frequently get into trouble or cause trouble for others. He is, however, absolutely dedicated to Naoko.


 * Can't Spit It Out: Towards Naoko.
 * The Chew Toy / The Load: Spends a good chunk of the series mind-controlled by immensely powerful enemies . When he's not, he's often hot-tempered, impulsive, and reckless in combat, and he possesses a dangerous mix of immersive destructive power and of a lack of concern for collateral damage when angry. More than one unnecessary fight starts or almost starts thanks to him.
 * Determinator: Especially when Naoko is at risk.
 * Fighting From the Inside
 * Hot Blooded: And how!
 * Knight Templar: Ikkou takes a very hard line with the Tenma and isn't all that careful about collateral damage.
 * Meaningful Name: "Zenkai" can mean "complete destruction." "Ikkou" can mean "absolutely, completely, totally."
 * Offhand Backhand: To Fushi
 * : Socially, anyway, once
 * Villain Teleportation: Subverted in that he retains these powers from Destruction after regaining control of himself.
 * What the Hell Hero: Wow. So much.

Fushi Yoriyama
The Phoenix Samurai and host of the Angel of Life. First appears as a grown man who doesn't realize he's travelled back in time. He plays a critical role in "From the Ashes," and eventually joins the cast again later as a teenager.


 * Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance: Not a Fiery Redhead in personality, but he does have hair to match his flame powers.
 * Cool Sword: Chou.
 * Knight Templar: Fushi was more than willing to murder a helpless Tenma captive before Yun and Mariko walked in on him.
 * Later he, cold-bloodedly
 * Foreshadowing: His time in "From the Ashes" is a virtual fountain of foreshadowing for the plot of Requiem, which was published 10-11 years later.
 * Futureshadowing: Dear Lord, did we really read a scene on pp. 257-260 from pp. 2400-2403?
 * Also, look at all the future character designs and semi-spoilers in Fushi's memories on p. 350.

 * Playing With Fire
 * Samurai
 * Stable Time Loop: How he met Naoko.
 * You Gotta Have Colorful Hair: Orange (real-world red) hair in Japan.

Kansha
The last female member of Gleya's team. Her powers are based on paper talismans.

 * Smug Snake

Chaos

 * The Dreaded
 * Eldritch Abomination: Usually appears as a whirling field of static.

Order
