During his reign as Imperator, Homura wears a deep purple version of his usual ''sokutai'' over numerous layers of red, white, and green kimonos. Instead of his large hat, he wears a large, golden, circular headpiece that faces forward, and instead of his orange platforms, Homura wears red ones.

==Personality==
==Personality==
Regal and graceful - Homura does not speak much within the series, often keeping quiet whenever present, but isn't afraid to speak his mind, such as defying the wishes of [[Kagura Mutsuki]] on at least more than one occasion. Homura is very polite and understanding, having shown a great deal of gratitude to [[Bang Shishigami]] for leading the Ikaruga people in his absence, but is also humble, asking that those around him don't fret over his safety. Homura is very close to Kagura, and is fond of Bang. <ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Chrono Phantasma Story Mode, Episode 12''</ref>

==Powers and Abilities==
Individually, Homura does not have much strength and rarely takes to battle because of this. In combat they use a large mirror which can focus a beam of light for combat. Otherwise, this is their only offensive capability. Homura's real strength lies in their ability to inspire their allies and retainers, such as Bang and Kagura, to fight for them in their stead.
