~ Yogiri after killing Maya |
Background
Yogiri Takatou is the primary male protagonist of Sokushi Cheat ga Saikyou sugite, Isekai no Yatsura ga Marude Aite ni Naranain desu ga (aka Instant Death).
He is a high school student who got transported to another world by a woman called Sion. After being abandoned by his classmates, Yogiri and his new friend Tomochika decides to explore the new world outside, hoping to find a new way back home.
Most of the time, he is shown to be quite a calm guy (even in extremely dangerous situations), who considers most things nothing more than a bother.
Although his past is still mostly unknown, Yogiri has been shown to possess a special and powerful ability that can instantly kill anything he desires with a single thought.

Aoi saw that every future and possibility guides Yogiri into victory, so much that it was also implied that his existence is tied to only a single future where he wins in the end.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Instant Death: Instant Death is Yogiri’s ability to kill anything with a single thought. Although he usually says something like “die” along with it, it’s actually stated and shown to be thought-based on multiple occasions as he can also activate it while saying anything else, such as "you're the eyesore"[33]. It has been noted that what phenomena occurs after he targets an object to kill it is dependent on Yogiri's cognition of the death. For example, if a door's purpose is to block the way into another room, it only becomes logical that once the door dies, it will allow him to cross the entrance[34]. However, this is something that Yogiri does not actively do when using his ability, as it occurs by itself. Despite the name of the ability, it is not necessarily instantaneous if Yogiri decides to not make it so, as there is some leeway as to when his targets can die, as long as they do die eventually[35]. Seemingly connected to the nature of instant death, Yogiri's perception of the world shows him any hostility directed at him or his allies, or just plain hazards, and he use that to track enemies he would not normally be capable of detecting, predict their movements/thought patterns, or automatically retaliate with the activation of instant death.
- Automatic Defenses: Even if the opponent is faster than what Yogiri can physically react, his powers activate automatically to retaliate before any harm is done to Yogiri.[36]
- Partial Killing: Yogiri can kill specific limbs or the organs of his targets if he wants, such as their senses (looking, hearing, smelling), arms, legs, fingers, hands, etc[37]. Even if you cut off the affected limb and try to regenerate/heal it, said limb will still be affected by his ability, and thus won't ever function again, no matter what the target does[38]. It should be noted that at the beginning of series, Yogiri wasn't fully capable of killing specific parts of the body, but he eventually learned how to do it by training with his powers.[39]
- Immortality Negation: Yogiri is not only capable of killing anything, but he can also completely negate different types of immortality, such as resurrection[40][41], regeneration, people who are already dead[42], and even targets to whom the concept of death doesn't apply[43]. Furthermore, even if the enemy resides in a different plane and uses avatars to attack Yogiri, he can reach the true form by killing said avatars.[44][45]
- Resistance/Immunity Negation: Yogiri's power is capable of completely bypassing immunity and resistance towards instant death abilities[46][47]. No matter how much defenses or resistances to instant death a person has, it is all meaningless in front of Yogiri.[48]
- Seals: Due to wanting to be as human as possible, Yogiri constantly restrains his power with seals (also called Gates) that are locked within his mind. By imagining them opening, he can release more of his powers one by one. Each seal (when unlocked) leads Yogiri to a new phase, and each phase greatly amplifies his power. From the second seal and up, those doors would automatically close after a certain period of time. This proccess was set up to prevent him from accidentally destroying the world.[49]
- 1st Phase: When this gate is active, Yogiri becomes capable of killing anything (with a thought or automatically), can sense killing intent, and can foresee any incoming danger that might harm him. This is the standard Phase that is usually active at all times.
- 2nd Phase: When this gate is active, in addition of the powers from the 1st Phase, Yogiri's ability can now kill targets on a more abstract/semantic level. Yogiri has used this phase to kill his own momentum, falling energy, gravity itself, radioactive photons, wind, noise, and heat.[50] Additionally, he can use this power through the use of other people as a medium, being able to kill anyone/anything that his targets have ever seen from their memories,[51] as well as automatically killing anyone who tries to kill a certain person he has "marked" with this power, essentially protecting them.[52]
- Final Phase: This is the default state of Yogiri before he put any gate or restriction on his power when the organization asked him if he wanted to live a normal life. When the 3rd gate is active, in addition of the powers from previous Phases, Yogiri's ability can now kill anything and everything without limitation regardless of how complex the things he is going to kill, and likewise are capable of complex killing. Yogiri has used it to kill the connection/association/relationship between Mitsuki and the universe (because reality is the dream of Mitsuki, killing him would end the world). As a result, Mitsuki is left utterly powerless without his omnipotence, as what's left of him is now just a consciouness completely disconnected from reality, becoming a being that existed solely to sustain the world while his physical body in the physical realm is put in eternal sleep and still breathing (but no longer active). Simply put, this Final Phase is capable of killing the repercussions and associations that would happen after the target is killed.[53][54]
- Killing Intent, Precognition and Black Lines of Death: Yogiri can sense and foresee any incoming danger that might harm him or his allies beforehand, being able to quickly kill the cause or just dodge said harm flawlessly[55][56][57][58]. Moreover, he can also see black lines/fogs on people or places, which indicates that there is potential danger involving them[59]. It is later explained that Yogiri doesn't detect only killing intent, but actually any potential harm to his existence[60]. For example, even when it comes to unintentional attacks, or attacks from a user that doesn't even know about Yogiri's existence, they are still automatically killed if it's a threat to him[61]. In addition, he is able to detect power sources from different dimensions and kill them there[62], as well as detect people who have the power of being impossible to be perceived by any means.[63]
