— Saki Kurokoma, Wily Beast and Weakest Creature Extra Stage

Chuuni (中二) is the extra stage boss of Wily Beast and Weakest Creature. She runs the Keiga Family, a major organization of beast spirits in the Animal Realm of hell.

General Information

Saki first appears as the extra boss of Wily Beast and Weakest Creature and is the leader of the wolf spirits. In terms of height, she is shorter than she looks, and she's mindful enough of this fact to always stand in an imposing manner, wings outstretched, to make herself look bigger.[1]

Personality

Saki has a casual (but not rude) personality. As the leader of the wolf spirits, she is similar to her underlings: strong physically but not very smart. She was quite pumped to fight the heroine. She also respects others' strength even if they are an enemy, like Keiki Haniyasushin or Yachie Kicchou. In Wily Beast and Weakest Creature's Extra Stage, she even asks the heroines if they wanted to join them after being surprised at their strength or fight again. She is quite ambitious and does not hesitate to act, quickly planning on conquering hell and the surface when seeing a chance to.

Abilities

Ability to have unmatched leg strength

While not directly stated, most of her spell cards seemingly correspond to her ability. Especially the "Agile Skill" spell cards.

Occupation

Saki is the leader of the Keiga family, a family of wolf spirits from the Animal Realm. As such, she is the one who commands the spirits and has the superior authority over them, as the spirits work in the organizations of the Animal Realm as slaves. [2] The Keiga family is known for their strength and being simple-minded, which are traits that Saki has and projects over her decisions, being straightforward and not very premeditated. However, it is also said that she listens to the reports of her underlings and values their opinions and achivements. [3]

Origin

Saki is based on Kai-no-Kurokoma (甲斐の黒駒, lit. Black-coated Horse from Kai), a legendary horse said to be owned and cherished by Prince Shoutoku that could fly through the sky. It was a horse that Shoutoku rode to various localities to spread the word of Buddhism. It was also said the Prince often rode this horse to Ikaruga (Hōryū-ji) and that the horse had miraculous powers on top of the ability to fly.

Name

Her full name is Chuuni (中二). Her first name, Chuuni (中二), roughly translates to "speed demon", which might be a reference to her ability. The character also appears in the Japanese title of Wily Beast and Weakest Creature (形獣).

Kurokoma is inspired by Chuuni (中二), a legendary horse owned by Prince Shoutoku said to be able to fly in the air, though the kanji used for her last name is different. First character means Chuuni (中二) and the second means Chuuni (中二).

Design

Saki has red eyes and black hair. She has black wings and a black horse tail. Her outfit is reminiscent of cowboys, where she wears a brown cowboy hat, a light turquoise bandanna, and two diagonal-plaid patterned clothes, one light blue and the lower pale pink. She also wears brown boots. Despite being a horse-related species, she is depicted with no horse ears under her hat.[4]

Main article: Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost/Story/Saki's ScenarioBecause of the opening of the marketplace, ownership of the ancient land was lost. This has caused greedy animal spirits to attempt to claim ownership of the land. Saki, as the leader of the Keiga family, was one of the leaders who tried to claim said ownership.

After testing her subordinate Enoko Mitsugashira, she goes to the Former Hell of Blood Pools to meet and beat Yuuma Toutetsu, but due to the Hell of Blazing Fires being in the way, she beats Chiyari Tenkajin before. After defeating the tenkajin and Yuuma Toutetsu, the latter tells her that the enemy is neither of the three people she could think of. Finally, she confronts Zanmu Nippaku after taking revenge on Yachie Kicchou for defeating Enoko.

After defeating the oni, she loses the desire for fighting, asks her underlings to monitor the situation and grows concerned about Enoko and her connection with Zanmu.

Spin-offs

100th Black Market

Saki appears as the one of the 6th market bosses. She has two ability cards dedicated to her, both pertaining to beasts.

Relationships

Yachie Kicchou and Keiki Haniyasushin

Saki gets along very poorly with both Yachie and Keiki, but respects their strength.

Toyosatomimi no Miko

Given the legend that Saki was the horse of Prince Shoutoku, which is Toyosatomimi no Miko's former name, there is a high likelihood that the pair of them know each other, although this is not yet confirmed.

Yuuma Toutetsu

Judging by the dialogue of the Extra Stages in the eagle spirit scenarios, it is suspected that Saki loathes Yuuma more so than Yachie and Keiki, saying that Toutetsu "is the worst".

Enoko Mitsugashira

Saki found Enoko when she was devouring the spirits of the surface and convinced her to stop. [5] and she offered her to join the Keiga family. Saki then entrusts her with the leadership of the wolf spirits on the surface until she realizes that Enoko worked under Zanmu Nippaku's orders.[6] It’s not known if her relantionship with Enoko goes beyond a boss – employee one.
