Yotsuba Genzou (四葉 元造) was the first Head of the Yotsuba Family, which is one of the Ten Master Clans. He is the father of the twins Miya (深夜) and Maya (真夜), and the Shiba sibling's maternal grandfather.
Appearance and Personality[]
Genzou was a man who valued his family and clan immensely, going as far as wiping out approximately 4000 individuals in Dahan in the name of revenge for kidnapping his daughter, Maya (leading to Dahan's collapse). He has been shown to hold some guilt when his clan members were killed during their operation in Dahan despite them all being volunteers. He showed regret when he was at his limit, that he wouldn't be able to see his daughters again.
Genzou believed that each member of the Yotsuba Family could eliminate no more than 120 of the lives of Dahan government officials, magicians, and researchers. Thus, he forced himself to continue the revenge to reach at least the number so that it would be fair to others that have sacrificed themselves to aid him. This also shows how he was a man with dignity, suiting his role as the head of Yotsuba.
Background[]
| “ | Maya will arrive at this mansion tomorrow. Miya, I want you to look at her when she returns and then make your own choice. Whatever conclusion you come to, I will take all the blame for it. | ” |
—Genzou to Miya | ||
During AD 2062, Genzou's daughter, Maya, was kidnapped by the Kunlunfang Institute in Dahan and was experimented on. When Maya was rescued, Genzou asks Miya to separate all of Maya's memories from her emotions for the past three days with her Mental Design Interference but Miya tells him that she cannot do something that precise so Genzou tells her to change all her experience to knowledge. Miya stared at him in utter disbelief but Genzou tells her to look at Maya and whatever choice she makes, he will take all the blame for it.
After Miya left, Genzou meets with the rest of the clan and tells them his intent to avenge his daughter by eliminating everyone connected with the Institute. With the support of the rest of the Yotsuba Clan, around 4000 Dahan individuals were slain in exchange for 30 Yotsuba Family members, which was half of the clans fighting strength. [1]
Genzou died during his revenge in Dahan, presumably through overusing his magic Grim Reaper, which eventually pushed his mind to its limit later known to be the overheating of the Magic Calculation Area. [1]
Abilities[]
Grim Reaper[]
Grim Reaper (死神の刃) is an Outer-Systematic Mental Interference Magic unique to Genzou. It plants a specific image within the target's mind, usually one of death. After the target has been exposed, no form of protection, or distance, or time will stop the magic. As long as the victim recalls the image, the implanted suggestion will take physical form. Enemies who meet Genzou for a second time would kill themselves. The implantation process does not require a direct meeting, but the final kill does require it. The target has to be aware of the user and the user has to be aware of the target. The only way to survive is getting rid of the memory of the image.
