Central Fiction

The fight against Ragna had seriously injured Jin and he had no recollection of the fight. He was unable to move, and even Celica’s healing sorcery was not enough, even though she had stayed at his bedside. Celica left after some time, and Tsubaki visited him. He explained his relationship with Ragna, and his earliest memories to her, including the day he cut Ragna’s arm off under Terumi’s influence. They were interrupted by Noel, whom Jin had sent for earlier, and Tsubaki left. Noel told him what happened in the fight, and he ordered her to find Ragna before Tsubaki would. Trinity Glassfille was watching, and he spoke to her after Noel had left; they formed a pact, and Trinity, using Alchemy, made his body able to fight again, although at the cost of him being unable to ever fight afterwards. Jin was later absorbed into the Embryo but the Power of Order prevented his memories from being altered. [1]

Part of his pact with Trinity was to find Platinum the Trinity, which he attempted to do inside the Embryo. He found his way to the Monorail in Kagutsuchi. [2] Much later on, he found Jubei, although he was not looking for him, they did discuss the latter’s distorted memories, and he left his mentor to investigate the strange world they are in. [3] He was later teleported to Ikaruga by Nine, and instructed to defeat Izanami to claim a part of the Azure, and trusted Trinity’s instinct to go to Kokonoe to complete both their goals. [4]

With barely any time left, Jin and Trinity found Platinum, who’s existence was on the verge of disappearing. He perceived both Luna and Sena, recognizing them with the Power of Order. The measure was only temporary, so Jin resolved to help Trinity make it permanent. [5] The three of them broke into a Sector Seven facility and escaped with information pertaining to Platinum’s body. [6] He allowed Carl to help Trinity with modifying Platinum’s body so they could exist within the Embryo. [7]

After finishing the maintenance and saving Platinum, the trio left Carl and were found by Jubei, who warned them of the eleventh Nox Nyctores. [8] They travelled to the Kaka Village first to drop off Platinum so she could materialise the Hihiirokane, which Jin concluded could outright kill Terumi. [9] Later, Jin travelled with him to Yabiko where they found Celica, Noel, Ragna, Kokonoe, Kagura, and Rachel discussing how to break into Nine’s workshop. He told Kokonoe it was impossible to naturally enter the workshop. [10] The following morning, Jin was part of the strike squadron sent to Nine’s workshop. There, he listened to Nine’s explanation of the world, the Prime Field War, her desire, and why she created the Corpus Sepulcro: Requiem. Although he believed her a threat to Order, he could not attack her because it would drain his body far too much. [11] He watched Ragna defeat the sage, and attempted to fight off both Izanami and Nu, who had come to kill them all. He could not fully fight, however, and was teleported away after watching Nine die to delay Doomsday and stop Izanami from moving for a week – he was also forced to leave Jubei behind. [12]

Jin and the others were teleported to the church that he grew up in, leaving him shocked as to how it could exist, even within the Embryo. While the others went inside, Jin and Ragna talked about how it could possibly exist before deciding to go to the nearby river – both completely calm and not at one another’s throats. [13] They returned to the church to sleep, and had breakfast together with Celica and Noel. He left the building and talked with Rachel, Trinity, and Ragna about the situation at hand and agreed to “play house” for the time being. [14] Jin also listened to Noel perfectly describe his childhood through Saya’s eyes, calling it “impossible”. [15] The hero later listened to Trinity’s request to stay inside Yukianesa so she could help him to defeat Izanami and Terumi, and he complied. The following morning, he watched Celica finally die, and the group teleported back to Yabiko – it’s unknown how her death affected Jin. [16]

Jin would be reunited with Tsubaki, Kagura, and Kokonoe back at the Yabiko branch, and also met Hakumen. He listened to Noel, learning that she holds one half of Saya’s soul, and agreed to be sent within the Embryo’s frozen space-time to deal with Requiem and Izanami, being taken there by Lambda-11. [17] Inside, he was separated from the others, being stranded with Kagura. They were found by Azrael, who shifted space-time to fight them in the Colosseum. After watching Kagura fight the Mad Dog to a near stalemate, Jin intervened, using "Artic Dungeon" to freeze him, and the two became the first pair to ever defeat Azrael. Jin left Kagura behind to rest and travelled onwards to find Requiem. [18]

The final part of Doomsday began to occur, leaving Jin and Trinity stranded in the White of Nothingness. They soon ventured to find the others and Amaterasu. He eventually did, finding Tsubaki, in her Izayoi form, alongside Hakumen battling Nu. He watched Ragna defeat both Nu and Hakumen, and then Terumi breaking Hakumen’s soul and taking the Susano’o Unit for himself, becoming Susano'o once more. Jin watched him snatch Noel and transport both himself and the Amaterasu Unit outside of the Embryo. He learnt from Trinity how to escape the Embryo to follow them and journeyed with Ragna to the Kagutsuchi cauldron to do so. [19] There, he saw Hazama jump into the Boundary and found Rachel. With Ragna, Trinity, and Rachel, Jin jumped into the cauldron, ending up on the exterior of the Embryo. [20]

Outside the Embryo, Jin and Ragna fought against Susano’o, although the hero had reached the limits of his body after perceiving the God using Order. Ragna dragged Terumi out of the Unit, and Trinity transferred him into the Susano’o Unit with Hihiirokane, and he slashed down both his brother and the God, although both were dragged into the Gate. [21] Terumi was killed by the Grim Reaper, and when Ragna exited the Gate, he fought against both Jin and Noel, taking their dreams. Trinity took Jin out of the Susano’o Unit. Jin began crying into his brother’s arms, knowing this would be the last time he would ever see him. Together with Noel, who had now reclaimed all of Saya’s memories, they returned to seithr. [22]

In the new world created by Ragna, Jin forgot about his brother, and was last seen at an NOL ceremony where Homura presided – both Kagura and Hibiki were also present. [23]True to Trinity’s deal, Jin is now incapable of ever fighting again in his life.

Powers & Techniques

Library Entry

Jin Kisaragi

Ragna’s younger brother, who is commonly known as ‘Hero of Ikaruga.’

He is almost always cool and composed – the keyword being ‘almost.’ To most, he is apathetic and even cruel at times, but deep down he’s ambitious, competitive, and lonely. According to Ragna, however, he was a little cry baby in his youth.

He was adopted by one of the families of the Duodecim, the Kisaragi family, and there nurtured his talents into what they are today. He is given his own unit while still in the Military Academy, and only moments after graduating, he is sent to Ikaruga, where, his war efforts will earn him the infamous title. He will become the youngest commander of a unit that size, with the rank of major. He wins his commendations for bringing down the leader of the Federation, Tenjo; however, Jin doesn’t remember the details of the event because Terumi erased parts of his memory.

The mental strain placed upon Jin from his beloved Nox Nyctores: Yukianesa, causes him to behave irrationally when around Ragna. He is filled with attachment and murderous intent, often ignoring his orders to quench his thirst.

After he overcomes Yukianesa’s curse, he gains the Power of Order, and is able to control his will. Now under the guidance of none other than jubei, Jin sets off to free his childhood friend, Tsubaki, from the Imperator’s curse. His destination? Ikaruga.

Jin, Makoto and Noel encounter Tsubaki, where Jin uses the Power of Order to rid Tsubaki of her Immortal Breaker power, freeing her from the curse.

Then, Jin takes a stand against the Gigant: Take-Mikazuchi, with Noel and Ragna at his side, but is gravely wounded by Ragna’s hands after Ragna is affected by ν’s sword.[24]
