Aoko Aozaki (蒼崎青子, Aozaki Aoko?) is the first protagonist of Mahou Tsukai no Yoru and a supporting character in the Tsukihime series and Tsukihime Remake series. She is the Magician of the Fifth Magic (第五魔法の魔法使い, Dai Go Mahō no Mahōtsukai?).

Profile

Background

Aoko is a member of the Aozaki family. When she was young, Aoko's grandfather, the third generation head chose to raise Touko as his successor while Aoko lived with her parents. She is not afraid at all of her grandfather, who is labelled a monster, and only thinks of the great magus who created the final Magic as "a terrible old man who's lived for too long through questionable means".[12] When she was fifteen years old, Aoko was suddenly named the successor to the Fifth Magic by her grandfather, and her sister Touko Aozaki, who was being trained as the successor until that point, was abandoned. Therefore, she originally had a very bad relationship with her sister. It was later revealed in Mahou Tsukai no Yoru, however, that the true target for Touko's anger was actually her grandfather who closed the Aozaki's path to the Root.

Ever since becoming the Aozaki heir, she has lived the life of a rootless wanderer, roaming the world with a single trunk in hand.[1][4] Her meeting with Shiki was merely a coincidence, akin to making friends with a local child in the midst of a long journey.[1]

Appearance

Aoko shows a very beautiful physical appearance with pale skin and the combination of long brown hair with bangs and blue eyes. At home, she usually wears a light blue sweatshirt, gray jeans and blue sneakers or a casual-red dress with an under-black shirt and pants with a pair of boots. While out, she often uses her school uniform or her brown coat with a chess style of scarf on her neck over the uniform.

Just after she fast-forwarded her own time, Aoko appeared with red hair that reaches below her hips or down to the lower legs, wearing a short sleeved white shirt, blue jeans tied with a belt and brown shoes (originally gray). She stopped aging after age 20.


Personality

Aloof and clumsy, yet free spirited, somehow managing to come together in this Magician. She takes her life as a mage simply, while loving her life as a respectable, strong young woman. By day she is a boarding school student, a genius who doesn't seem to realize things that are perfectly natural.[12] She seems like a stoic person but she actually has many different facial expressions. She seems like a flawless superwoman but she is actually the hard-working type.[5] She is described to be an extremely strong person in terms of personality, regretting nothing in her life because she follows through on every decision she makes. Because she does not care at all about what other people think of her, she is able to stay true to herself in any situation, believing that the worst thing a person can do is to lie to oneself. Even while accepting her life as a magus, she stubbornly sticks to the life of an honest person.[12]

In Tsukihime, Aoko is presented as a more mature and enigmatic figure. While she still maintains elements of her personality from her younger years, she has grown into her role as a powerful Magician with a more approachable and mentoring persona.[7][8] At that time, she seemed to be an amiable older-sister type, but generally her stance is to avoid getting too involved with other people.[1] Aoko values special places with precious memories and living things, regardless of if they are humans, animals or even plants. She has passed on the "value of life" to Shiki Tohno.[7][8][2] It was due to her influence that the young Shiki was able to grow up normally despite being burdened with abnormal eyes.[4] She's a difficult person to pin down, believes in justice, and is often unreliable.[2]

Despite the fact that she and Touko are sisters, Aoko shows great hostility towards her, to the point that she dislikes Runes because Touko uses a Rune-based magecraft. However, she is considered irresponsible by Touko for using the power of Magic without thinking about the consequences.[13] Many years later, Touko often buys items from the Mage's Association using Aoko's card as revenge for her stealing her Mystic Eye Killers.[14] It appears that their relationship is rather cordial and mended by the time the two are adults in Clock Tower 2015.[15]

She isn't afraid at all of her grandfather, who is labelled a monster, and only thinks of the great mage who called up Magic as "a terrible old man who's lived for a long time through questionable means".[12]

She doesn't like her name because it sounds like Blue (青, Ao?), so Shiki Tohno (Remake) decides to call her "Teacher" (先生, Sensei?).[1][2][4][7][8] Aoko is good at nothing but destroying things.[16]

Aoko's first crush was actually Ritsuka Suse disguised as a man, which was extremely embarrassing for Aoko when she found out.[17] Ever since then she hasn't had a high opinion of romance. As for her taste in men, she's not into pretty boys and prefers macho men built like Arnold Schwarzenegger.[18]

She considers gloves an abomination and refuses to wear them except in the most extreme cold.[19]

Role

Mahou Tsukai no Yoru

When she was fifteen, Aoko was asked by her family to give up her normal life entirely for the life of a magus, in preparation for her training to become the successor of the Fifth Magic.

She is a 17-year-old apprentice magus learning magecraft from Alice Kuonji in Misaki Town. Aoko tries to live two completely different life styles, living as a normal high school student during the day and acting as a magus during night, but Alice reprimands this as a half-hearted approach.[11]

When the bounded field of Misaki Town that concentrates the mana of the leylines to Alice's mansion is threatened, Aoko and Alice begin to search for the perpetrator at night. However, Soujuurou Shizuki witnesses them using magecraft in the park, and thus they are forced to kill him due to the highest law of the Mage's Association that states that no outsiders must be aware of magecraft. Immediately before Aoko lands the final blow on Soujuurou in a ruined theme park, a puppet resembling Aoko attempts to kill Aoko, and the two temporarily make peace until it is defeated.[20]

Aoko gives up on trying to kill Soujuurou, deciding that there should be another way to keep Soujuurou's mouth shut, but Alice disagrees. She unleashes Flat Snark, one of her three most powerful Ploys, and brings every object in the theme park to life gradually. After discovering that Flat Snark had taken the shape of the moon, Aoko destroys it with the help of Soujuurou, and Alice accepts her loss.[21]

Soujuurou is given poison pills at first as a safety measure but this is later switched out for a collar that chokes him on Aoko's will. They say that he would be allowed to stay with Aoko and Alice at the Kuonji Mansion until a runic spell for the memory erasure can be found.

Aoko and Alice discover that the one threatening the bounded field over Misaki Town was none other than Touko, Aoko's older sister, who wants to destroy the bounded field to reopen the path to the Swirl of the Root hidden under the land. The two face her one night but are completely devastated by Touko's "familiar," Lugh Beowulf, who is a class of mystery beyond that which magecraft can reach. Touko leaves the two alive.

After partially recovering, the two have a rematch against Touko but are beaten when she reveals her Magic Crests stolen from her previous opponents. Soujuurou then arrives to incapacitate Beo but is killed by Touko. Enraged by his death, Aoko activates the Fifth Magic, placing the five minutes of time that consists of Soujuurou's death in the far future and spending ten years of his time to accelerate her own time by ten years, bringing her the experience and strength of her 27-year-old self. Aoko easily overwhelms Touko and, after defeating her, curses her so that she would turn into a toad if she were to return to Misaki within ten years. The Magic is deactivated and the exchanged time of Aoko and Soujuurou are returned to normal, but the five minutes of Soujuurou's death is left in the future, causing certain annihilation for the entire universe.

It is later revealed that Aoko and Alice have found a book in the Kuonji library that details how to erase memory through the use of runes, but have decided to replace it and never open it again.

Tsukihime

Aoko was roaming around the country,[16] where she meets Shiki Tohno eight years before the events of the story take place. She encounters him after he runs out of the hospital where he was admitted due to the stress of nobody believing the existence of the lines shown by the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. She comforts him, and upon Shiki's proud demonstration of the ability, she reprimands him and tells him to value living things. She helps him deal with the ability by giving him a pair of glasses, stolen from Touko and made indestructible by her own abilities, that seals the effect of his eyes as long as they are worn.[7][8][22]

During the events of Tsukihime, Arcueid is able to tell the nature of the glasses upon seeing them, and she attempts to destroy them. She asks Shiki if Aoko happens to be around, commenting "it is probably safer not to deal with Blue in the first place."[23] Aoko appears before Shiki again after an undetermined amount of time during Eclipse, the epilogue of Tsukihime, much like their original meeting.[24]

Melty Blood

Aoko's ending

She has an active role in the Melty Blood series. After the defeat of Night of Wallachia, she comes to the city and attempts to make a familiar for her own use out of remnants of Wallachia and an unused part of Len. This causes yet another series of events as White Len uses the abilities of TATARI. Aoko is thought of as the main cause of the events of the arcade mode routes in Melty Blood Re-ACT, while that White Len is the main villain in the game. She acts as a non-playable final boss for each storyline. She later appears as a playable character in Melty Blood Act Cadenza and in Melty Blood Actress Again.[1][4]

Melty Blood: Type Lumina

Aoko's ending

Aoko's ending

In her scenario, flying back from Australia,[25] Aoko is hired by Mario Gallo Bestino to get rid of The Dead in Souya and hunt down Roa.[26] She meets Dead Apostle Noel, and at first mistakes her ability to to materialize the church from her traumatic past for a Reality Marble, but quickly corrects herself, saying it is a dream world that's spilling out onto reality.[27] She eventually encounters Roa under the city, who thinks Aoko has sussed out his plans and has come from the future to stop him.[28] After the resolution, Mario berates Aoko for having destroyed Roa's factory and for having wrecked havoc across the city (notably crushing train cars). Though Aoko protests that she would never put civilian lives in danger and she still saved the city, her pay is still docked. However, she arrives at a compromise because she has certain emergency measure just as useful as Roa's research to help Mario and/or his father Cardinal Laurentis. As a reward, the Cardinal gives Aoko enough money to buy her own private beach in Hawaii.[25]

In Mario's scenario, Aoko is contacted by Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg, who informs her that Mario striking a deal with Roa to obtain his research into immortality poses some potential threat to humanity, prompting her to intervene in Souya to prevent this from happening. After she successfully eliminates both Roa and his research, she is attacked by Mario in retaliation, but manages to defend herself and offers Mario a puppet body made by her sister as a solution to Laurentis' aging problem.[29]

Clock Tower 2015

Aoko travels to the Clock Tower and goes to visit Lev Uvall's department. Aoko refers to herself as Miss Aozaki to Ms. Norwich. When Lev appears, Aoko asks Lev to lend her money.[30]

Fate/EXTRA

Aoko Extra

Aoko enters the Moon Cell some time before the Moon Cell Holy Grail War of Fate/EXTRA. She helps Masters in the Holy Grail Wars by strengthening their Servants with Alteration of the Soul, which is where she strengthens the link between the Master's and the Servant's souls by hacking into each soul and choosing what to improve, allowing an increase of a Servant's parameters and unlocking new skills. This can be done in response to to the Master's Rank increasing through various events. She has had the system of the Moon Cell react harshly several times, but she complains that one of those times was the Master's fault for wanting some "quasi-legal" Alterations that contained extra skills for their Servant. Touko also enters at some point looking for "a friend of a friend" that got lost in the virtual world, keeping a stable, but bitter relationship between the sisters. Though Touko is much more suited to Alterations, she instead lets Aoko perform the tasks while warning others of her incompetence.[31]

Residing in the chapel of Tsukumihara Academy that is cut off from the system of SE.RA.PH and the rest of the world, she meets Hakuno Kishinami and helps them with their Servant.

Other appearances

Aoko seventh Golden Heroine 02

The Aozaki family is briefly mentioned by Rin Tohsaka in Heaven's Feel as having the best lands in Japan.[32]

Aoko has a minor role in Carnival Phantasm where she is parodied as having reared Shiki into growing up to become her lover with a plan based on Hikaru GenjiWP from The Tale of GenjiWP.

In TYPE-MOON's April Fools' Day 2013, she appears in Back Alley Satsuki. Aoko is a gold heroine of horse to protect the seventh temple and she is known as the Unidentified Flying Idol Aoko Aozaki (未確認飛行アイドル蒼崎青子, Mi kakunin hikō aidoru Aozaki Aoko?).

Non in-universe appearances

Aoko Aozaki and Alice Kunonji were guest characters in Lord of Vermillion Re: II a Final Fantasy arcade card game created by Square EnixWP. They returned in Lord of Vermillion III, along with Archer, Rin Tohsaka, Saber, and Gilgamesh from Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works].

Abilities

Aoko is considered to be a below average magus as her general proclivity for magecraft is not all too great, however her genius in simple destruction is unmatched.[1][4][2][16] While she is considered an inferior mage to the lecturers of the Clock Tower,[33] her genius in destruction and fighting makes her one of the few living beings capable of fighting directly with Servants.[34] Aoko's destructive power has earned her titles such as Witch of Destruction,[4] Magic Gunner[1][2] and Human missile launcher. While she is noted as being unable to beat Caster in a serious battle of magecraft it's unknown how she would fare with Magic.[35] In a battle between her and Arcueid, Arcueid would have a 70% chance of winning, but if Aoko is cornered thoughtlessly, she would use "something not good" for Arcueid, so Arcueid avoids her.[36]

Compared to Touko Aozaki, who has some of the best Circuits in the world, Aoko only has low grade, single function Circuits found in mediocre magi which generates much lower magical energy than her sister.[37] However due to their composition her Circuits have extraordinary rotational speed, structural durability, quality of output, and fuel efficiency.[21] They are considered special Magic Circuits that enable her to demonstrate the Fifth Magic, and they never run out of magical energy, which makes them one of the factors necessary to depart the planet. After Aoko demonstrates the Fifth Magic, she gains superhuman Magic Circuits, that generate colossal amounts of magical energy. The theory, origin and the spell that made them like that is something that others are completely incapable of comprehending. Aoko herself is just as clueless. Meanwhile, Zelretch, the user of the Second Magic, figured out the gist of it on his first glance at Aoko's Redshift form.[38]

In addition to the energy they generate, the speed of her Magic Circuits' rotation increases to near lightspeed. [39] Simply the act of activating her Magic Circuits generates sound, and while magecraft making sound is common, noise from the Circuits themselves is unheard of even within the Mage's Association. Her efficiency is comparable to "a car that can run one thousand kilometers on a single liter of gasoline."[3] As a result Aoko is able to overpower Touko in a contest of firepower without even being serious.[37] Comparing skills in magecraft, Alice Kuonji would emerge victorious ten out of ten times. Aoko could not compare to Alice's talent and lifetime of experience, and is not even worthy of her notice under normal circumstances. But a fight to the death is something else entirely. Alice is not a magus suited for combat, while Aoko is a destroyer specialized in fighting.[21]

Within the Moon Cell, she performs Alteration of the Soul for Masters and Servants. There is a link between the souls of the Master and Servant, and that link can be increased as the Master's rank increases by hacking. She hacks into each soul, and allows for them to choose specific attributes be improved. While Aoko's job is to perform Alterations made possible by various events, it can be said that she is less than useless. Even Hakuno, a self-proclaimed pseudo-magus, is able to see that Aoko is not really suited for the particular task. While it would seem to be Touko's specialty instead, as she claims to be better at Alterations by a factor of ten, she does not do them due to being too busy. Touko suggests not putting any faith in Aoko's abilities, and suggests simply recovering spiritual statuses the Servant has lost.

Magecraft

Aoko fires magic bullets by processing magical energy from a numerological crest, converting it, and outputting it.[5][40] Which she notes to be similar to Roa's orthodox usage of Numerology to fire lightning.[41] Her magic bullets are simple spells utilizing her rapidly-spinning Magic Circuits as the barrel of a gun to fire magical energy. This is not like other spells that work through nature interference to create wind, divide water, or accelerate aging. Magic bullets are simply materialized magical energy fired as heat. The result is a destructive force equal to the amount of energy she can handle.[21] Despite being a simple spell, the act of firing the Fifth Imaginary Factor as heat is only possible with the simplest of Magic Circuits which only Aoko has been shown to have.[42] For most forms of magecraft, Aoko is average or below, but when it comes to magical bullets, she's unsurpassable in terms of speed, precision, and destructive force. The magical bullet champion of the world of magecraft.[38]

Aoko's magic bullets have three levels of power;

  • Snap: A single-action spell that favored rate of fire over power. Aoko's equivalent of a machine gun volley. Does not require a incantation.[21]
  • Draw: A formula-triggered bullet encased in a jacket of wind pressure. If Snap was the equivalent of a machine gun volley, Draw was her artillery shot. Even as a novice, Aoko is able to shatter the breadmen created by Flat Snark into a thousand pieces, and destroy a paved road and a nearby food stall. A double-action magic bullet that requires the activation of her crest combined with a simplified incantation.[21]
  • Magic Blow: Aoko's most powerful type of bullet, a compressed magic bullet which has its power and energy multiplied by mobilizing her Magic Crest. Requires the chant "Tour Plan" to configure the magic bullets before use. Aoko has shown four different spells;
Spell Type Description
Force to Fourth Greater Magecraft A four-verse greater magecraft spell, a compressed bullet that contains all of Aoko's magical energy, it is powerful enough to destroy the old school building of Private Misaki High School. [13]
Starmine Greater Magecraft Greater magecraft spell, a magic bullet that reaches 3000 degrees Celsius with a max range of 650 meters.[21]
Blacklight Starbow Greater Magecraft One of Aoko's most powerful spells that will eventually fall under the category of "Finality: Settlement technique", a secret spell that is passed down in a mage family.[43] By drawing in the mana that Flat Snark was spewing in the amusement park with one formula and rotating her Circuits faster than she had ever done before while simultaneously expanding the formula to the limit, Blacklight Starbow was powerful enough to destroy the giant ice meteor Snark created, and shoot down Snark itself.[21]
Earthlight Starbow Greater Magecraft Aoko's most powerful magic bullet she can use at that age. It is another "Finality: Settlement technique.[38] While Blacklight Starbow gathers mana with one formula, Earthlight Starbow seems to gather mana from the atmosphere with five formulas at once.[44]
Aoko's activated Magic Crest

Aoko's activated Magic Crest

Aoko's Numerology style of Magecraft as an adult is called Starmine and Starbow (スターマイン、スターボゥ, Sutāmain, Sutābou?) it is based on the concept of images Aoko can visualize easily turned into spells that cause nature interference. She is apparently comfortable with imagining exploding fireworks and rotating stars, so all of her destructive spells are based upon those images. Spells that fall under Starmine's category are those whose energy has a fluid motion, while those that fall under Starbow's category are those whose energy has a fluctuating motion.[40]

She uses Offensive High Speed Incantation, to greatly increase the speed of her incantations during battle,[2] her particular method is known as Unlimited Rotation.[45] Simply chanting “Bullets, Deploy" is enough to fire twenty bolts at once, deployed instantly with each being more powerful than a rocket.[13] She is called by the very intuitive yet crude nickname of "Magic Gunner" because of the sheer abundance of high-output magic bullets she can fire off in rapid succession.[2] Even as a novice with just 2 years of training, Aoko is able to fire a greater magecraft in 4 verses.[13] Additionally, Aoko uses magecraft based on Notarikon, a branch of Kabbalah, which involves world play and shortening words which presumably helps her casting speed.[46]

Touko's various runes are unable to stop her no matter the quality or quantity, as her outstanding reflexes and prediction act in synergy with the powerful force of the bullets she releases with both hands. Touko is amazed at the simplicity of her magecraft, commenting that even at her peak she is utterly hopeless in only being able to blow things apart. While runes are curses effective against people, her bullets are powerful projectiles that affect all things without discrimination.[13]

Aoko kicking through Touko's Primeval Runes.

Aoko kicking through Touko's Primeval Runes.

She can be called a "melee-type" magus that generates magical energy from her ribs, and by the time it passes through her limbs, the spell is already in a ritually complete form that is expelled in a way that makes both her arms and legs resemble rocket burners to those on the receiving end of the attack.[40] The reason for the mixture of martial arts into her style of magecraft is very like due to the influence of a certain male roommate that she had back in her high-school days.[12][2] In Type Lumina, several of Shiki's and Aoko's moves strongly resemble each other's, implying that Aoko taught Shiki some martial arts.[47]  

Before obtaining power and experience, her kicks are enough to fell a tree. With age, she is able to rip through the atmosphere of an invisible wall of runes with a single kick, continue through it into the ceiling, and then smash it along with all of its runic protection. She destroys Touko's replicas of Primeval Runes with a single kick each.[13]

Her magecraft attribute is one specialized for breaking things, so she's not very good at healing, construction, and restoration magecraft.[4] Nrvnqsr Chaos believes she is something that destroys order. He believes absorbing her into his Chaos wouldn't be worth it because of that. She does have some capability in other areas, such as somehow making Mystic Eye Killers glasses, stolen from Touko, indestructible to the point where Arcueid is unable to do anything to them.[23] She is also able to utilize Gandr and a curse that would transform the afflicted person into a Madagascar frog if they entered Misaki Town.[13]

She is also able to turn remnants of the TATARI phenomenon into a familiar. She wished to use White Len as her own familiar, but they were too incompatible.

Fifth Magic

Aoko, fast-forwarding her own time with the Fifth Magic.

Aoko is the user of Magic Blue (魔法・青, Mahō Ao?), the Fifth Magic (第五魔法, Dai Go Mahō?), making her the only person in the current world capable of performing its miracles. It appears to have a connection with consumption and extinction.[48] According to Alice Kuonji, the Fifth Magic is about deceiving time, equivalent to running a scam.[49]

Despite Touko being a vastly superior magus, Aoko was chosen to inherit the Magic instead of her. Though Touko boasts some of the greatest Magic Circuits in the world, the Fifth Magic does not require such a thing, and it can be said that Aoko's simplicity is more suited to it. The secret of the Fifth Magic lies in "advancing civilization", fitting how Alice represents Medieval Civilization and Aoko represents Consumption Civilization. It also holds the answer as to why she is called the "newest" Magician.[50] Ars Almadel Salomonis is stated to have parts of and hints to the Fifth Magic to it.[51]

Its exact domain is uncertain, but with it, Aoko is able to perform time travel. She exchanges time, moving events that happened in the present somewhere else. Such as the death of Soujuurou, Aoko was able to move it in a far future which effectively revived him. While it's not true Resurrection, Aoko was able to avert his death by moving the 5 mintues where he died into the future. Having jumped in time for five minutes, he no longer exists on that time axis. Someone from the far future searching for him at that exact point in time would be unable to find him there.[13]

She is even able to create and maintain a Singularity with the Fifth Magic, as seen when she created a Singularity to contain Shiny Star and then sent it into the future by two years in order to create a situation that would undo Soujuurou's death against it in 1999, while simultaneously weakening it enough to defeat it.[52]

Aoko shifting through time.

Aoko shifting through time.

Utilizing time manipulation, Aoko developed a strategy to shut out outside interference by overlapping time migration effects from 0.1 seconds in the past and 0.1 seconds in the future, effectively granting herself Anti-Purge Defense.[38] Touko is unable to see through her methods and theorises multiple possibilities. Believing that Aoko is either shifting outside the time axis, using repeated instances of time travel by the second to avoid attacks completely, sending impacting attacks to a different time, or that she is wearing thousands of "herself" over herself.[13]

Through the Fifth Magic, Aoko gained Eternal youth and cannot age past 20.[53] Additionally in Melty Blood: Type Lumina, during a commision from Mario Gallo Bestino, Aoko was able to halt his aging with Blue.[54]

Redshift

One of Aoko's main uses of Blue, is transforming into her super form referred to as Redshift (赤方偏移, Sekihōhen'i?).[5] Aoko does this by borrowing either her own time or someone else's internal time. When she performed it with Soujuurou's time, Aoko borrowed 10 years worth of childhood memories as individual time manipulation is easier when working with parts that were forgotten. After transforming she only shows a slight change in appearance, but Touko understands after realizing that Aoko's gestures no longer match her age. The stable running of her Circuits, and even her breathing have changed completely. She realizes that Aoko has become a greater Mage than her in an instant, without amplifying her own Magic Circuits or gaining external Magical Energy.[13] In this form Aoko acquires red hair, the experience and training of her future self. Additionally once Aoko demonstrates the Fifth Magic, she gains superhuman Magic Circuits that generate colossal amounts of magical energy.[38] In addition to the energy they generate, the speed of her Magic Circuits' rotation increases to near lightspeed. [39] While she always looks the same, her internal time is always slightly different because her state depends on how far into the future the time replacement goes. Additionally the strongest spells she can use also varies.[38]

Aoko first chronologically appears in the Mahou Tsukai no Yoru novel version as the main character. While it is one of Kinoko Nasu's earlier works, it has been reworked in visual novel format, and it details Aoko's high school years and her friendship with Alice Kuonji and Soujuurou Shizuki.

Her first appearance in a TYPE-MOON work is during in the prologue of Tsukihime.

    Aoko Aozaki [Person's name]
    One of the five existing Magicians. It seems she hates the alliteration in her full name, and gets mad when people call her by it.
    As for why she's a Magician, it's because she arrived there at the end of a long and arduous road. If that's an incomprehensible answer to you, please refer to Kara no Kyoukai. Of course, the details probably still won't make much sense even then.
    She had such a large influence on the young Shiki that to this day she is the only person he calls "Sensei".
    The story of Tsukihime begins with Aoko and Shiki's first meeting. At that time, she seemed to be an amiable older-sister type, but generally her stance is to avoid getting too involved with other people.
    Ever since becoming the Aozaki heir, she has lived the life of a rootless wanderer, roaming the world with a single trunk in hand. Her meeting with Shiki was merely a coincidence, akin to making friends with a local child in the midst of a long journey.
    Within the Association, she is known as the Magic Gunner, Miss Blue. Her abilities as a magus are below average, but there are none more talented when it comes to destruction.
    Though she is an important person to Tohno Shiki, she only has a minor role in the story of Tsukihime. The incident where she takes the leading role is a story for another time.
    In Melty Blood Re-act, she appears as a hidden boss. As expected of someone with the nickname Magic Gunner, it's like fighting a living artillery battery. Also, maybe it's because she's not really taking it seriously, but her apathetic voice is pretty great. At first the production staff was a bit doubtful about the performance, particularly her monotonous "Oh, I guess I lost," but eventually it grew on them. A lot.

    Melty Blood: Type Lumina - Aoko Aozaki - Character profile

    One of only five Magicians who exist in the world. Successor to the Fifth Magician. Overall, she is not considered a skilled Magician. However, when it comes to destructive power, she is unrivaled in her talents. The sight of her raining down bullets like hot geysers has also given her the direct, yet rather tasteless nickname, "Magic Gunner". Who she learned it from is unknown, but she is also familiar with martial arts, and has a battle style that could be considered a hybrid of those martial arts and magic. She encountered Shiki on her travels. She gives him his glasses that suppress his Mystic Eyes, and teaches him the value of living things and how to handle things. For that reason, Shiki respects her and calls her his teacher. She's a difficult person to pin down. She believes in justice, is unreliable, and a vagabond.

  3. 3.0 3.1
    [v] Tsukihime Dokuhon PlusPeriod - talk. Glossary: Magical Energy [Term], p.194

    Magical Energy [Term]
    The source that powered all magecraft, analogous to gasoline.
    There were many names for it. For example, the magical energy in the atmosphere was called Mana. The meaning of Mana was approximately the same as that in the Polynesian culture. Also, Ether was not a form of Magical Energy as it was something else.
    The Magical Energy in this story included Mana and the Magical Energy generated by magi themselves.
    The difference in magnitude between the Magical Energy that permeated the natural environment and the Magical Energy generated by an individual was so great, it was foolish to compare the two.
    Since the atmosphere in the Engulfing Forest was under Einnashe's control, one could not utilize the Magical Energy of the environment. As a result, most magecraft could not be activated, a magus could only activate very small-scale spells that utilize an individual's internal storage.
    As an aside, this thing called "an individual's Magical Energy" as used by Blue in a foolish yet clever manner. To use a simile, it was like driving a car for 1000 km on 1 L of gas.
    Also, the capacity of Ciel was ridiculously large. If a regular magus' gas tank was 40, then Ciel's was more than 4000. She truly deserved the name Miss Glutton.

    様々な呼び名があるが、大気中にあるものはマナと呼ぶ事が一般的。マナの意味はポリネシアに伝わるマナとほぼ同意。また、エーテルは別物なので魔力とは呼ばない。
    本編中で語られている魔力はこのマナと、それとは別の物である、魔術師が体内で製造する魔力の事を言っている。
    自然界に満ちている魔力と、一個人が製造できうる魔力の差は比較するのも馬鹿らしいほど開いている。
    腑海林ではその大気さえもアインナッシュの支配下にある為、自然界の魔力を利用する事が出来ない。故に通常の魔術は機能せず、あくまで一個人の魔力のみで起動が可能となる、極めて小規模な魔術しか行使できない。
    余談ではあるが、この一個人の魔力という物の使い方が馬鹿みたいに巧いのがブルー。喩えるなら1リットルのガソリンで軽く1000キロは車を走らせられる、といったところ。
    それとは別に許容量が冗談みたいに大きいのがシエル。普通の魔術師のガソリンタンクが40だとすると、シエルのそれは4000を越える。流石はミス食いしん坊。

    Aoko Aozaki [Person's name]
    One of the five existing magicians.
    Though she is the legitimate heir of the "distinguished" Aozaki household, she's currently wandering around the world with a single trunk in hand.
    Her sorcery attribute is one specialized for breaking things, so she's not very good at healing, construction, and restoration sorceries. Known as the "Witch of Destruction", she's not particularly versatile, but is second to none when it comes to busting out of hopeless situations.
    It was due to her influence that the young Tohno Shiki was able to grow up normally despite being burdened with abnormal eyes. Therefore to him, she is an existence akin to a respected former teacher.

    魔道の名門·蒼崎家の正統な後継者だが、本人はトランク一つで世界中を旅している。
    “物を壊す”事にのみ特化した魔術特性で、治療·創造·修復といった魔術は並以下である。多様性、万能性は低いが、一点突破的な戦況なら他の追随を許さない“破壊の魔女”。
    幼年期の遠野志貴に影響を与えた人物で、奇怪な眼を持っていても心まで奇怪になる事はない、と論した人物。志貴にとっては恩師的存在。

    Nasu's comment: The newest Magician. Aoko-san, the heroine in slender clothing. She seems like a stoic person but she actually has many different facial expressions. She seems like a flawless superwoman but she is actually the hard-working type. She's the earliest heroine of Nasu Kinoko's fiction. She's the initial archetype of Azaka, Akiha and Rin. Koyama's Aoko had her breast volume increased by 20%, I don't know what to do with all that sex appeal! Two options were discussed for the extra chapter's fan-service scene: "Just out of the bath" and "Maid outfit". But for some reason "Bunny girl" which wasn't even a candidate got chosen. While Redshifting in the second episode she'll say the catchphrase "I still have two transformations left!" to drive the opponent to despair. As expected of Aoko.

    Koyama's comment: She is the character I drew the most including half of the standing up sprites and the discarded materials. I can't tell you how many times my designs for her casual clothes got discarded. We wanted to show more of her girlish side so there were talks about including event CGs about miniskirts, out of the bath getup, and getting shoulder rubs while studying. Alas, when I saw the amusement park battle I thought "So this is Aoko" and became convinced that in the end a simple sweater and jeans suited her the best. Aoko's outfit in the final battle (aka Super-Aoko) was also a difficult one to settle on. The Sci-fi option was discarded early. Although it would've been cool to have a bunch of lenses attached to her hands and feet to shoot beams (Laughs).

    A magus of the Association.
    A rare magus who experienced gruesome melees such as protecting Seal-Designed Magi and recovering grimoire.
    Forte favoured spells called Aero Strikes, and the sword acted as the magical staff.
    There were three orifices on the body of the sword, thus the sword was not quite fit for slashing. The purpose of the orifices was to generate sound. Slashing the sword generated a resonant effect, producing an invisible impact on the target.
    She looked like a blade-wielding swordsman, but this swordsman performed her swordplay hundreds of meters away from her opponent.
    The oldest daughter of a mage lineage of many generations. It seemed like she encountered Aozaki, who also shared the Wind Element, several times.

    Introduction - Aoko Aozaki

    A currently living Magician.

    Aloof and clumsy, yet free spirited, somehow managing to come together in this 16 year old girl.
    She takes her life as a mage simply, while loving her life as a respectable, strong young woman.
    By day she is a boarding schooler, a genius who doesn't seem to realise things that are perfectly natural.
    She's only just begun learning sorcery, and so her abilities are way below par.
    By night, she's growing up at her own pace under the guidance of her friend and accomplice, Alice Kuonji.
    At 16, entrusted with the pulse of the city's spirit, she begins to confront the foreign invaders showing up every now and then.
    She's busy every day, but she seems to be enjoying herself with no complaints.
    It could be a perfectly natural reason, or something like it.
    She isn't afraid at all of her grandfather, who is labelled a monster, and only thinks of the great mage who called up Magic as "a terrible old man who's lived for a long time through questionable means".
    Until a certain time, her style was based purely on sorcery, but after a new boarder stumbled in, she got in a number of fights, and from there on she changed to a more close-combat style of sorcery.

  14. [v] Tsukihime Dokuhon PlusPeriod - TSUKIHIME Dictionary: Aozaki Touko [Person's name], p.175

    Touko Aozaki [Person's name]
    Aoko's older sister. She studied sorcery under her grandfather, but murdered him over the shock of having the Aozaki inheritance usurped by her younger sister and fled to the Association. Unlike Aoko, her abilities as a magus are top class. She has even received a sealing designation due to her status as the world's greatest puppet master.
    She does not appear in Tsukihime. However, she is a key figure in Kara no Kyoukai, which intersects with Tsukihime. Tohno Shiki's mystic eye sealing glasses originally belonged to her.
    In retaliation for having her prized mystic eye killers stolen from her, she's been making an effort to buy as much stuff as she can under Aoko's name. Then, even the Association has entered the era of e-commerce?
    …Even though there's a high chance of her location leaking out if she keeps it up, it seems that revenge against Aoko even takes priority over her own self-
    preservation. Geez, Touko, you should try to be a little more mature.
    By the way, her name shows up for just a second in Fate/stay night, too. Is she secretly trying to win the prize for perfect attendance?

    Aozaki [Person's name]
    The name that briefly appeared in this story. It was the name of the mage house that managed the greatest "Spiritual Land" in Japan.
    In the mage world, the name had become synonymous with trouble.
    The Aozakis were an ancient house, but were by no means prestigious. Because of the "Path" opened by the previous Heads, the current Head of the Aozakis had a greater chance of becoming a "Magician".
    The current heirs were a pair of sisters whom were thought to be ominous. After a battle for the right of inheritance, the younger sister became heir of the "Magician" title.
    The older sister traveled to London and made quite a name for herself, but quickly withdrew from the Association due to being problematic.
    During the Fifth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, the older sister was busy hiding her tracks, while the younger sister was roaming around the country.
    Although the younger sister was good at nothing but destroying things, the older sister was truly a polymath. Fate might had a little to do with the older sister.

    冬木市で五回目の聖杯戦争が起きている頃、姉は行方をくらましている最中で、妹は気ままに全国行脚の真つ最中だとか。
    妹は壊すコ卜しか能か無いが、姉の方はなにかと芸達著な人で、「Fate」でもちよつぴりだけ関わりがあつたりなかつたり。

  22. [v] Tsukihime Material I - GLOSSARY: Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, p.98

    Mystic Eyes of Death Perception
    A special power that awoke in Tohno Shiki as the aftereffect of an accident seven years ago. Mystic Eyes that can apprehend "the lines vulnerable to death" ー the concept of a "time of death" inherently contained within all things.

    As opposed to the "physical phenomena that can be attained through modern technology", it is a "phenomenon that cannot be attained no matter what". Tracing these "lines of death" allows for the target to be severed and killed (in this case it is not the cut that kills, but death resulting in the target being cut).

    Although Shiki can suppress his power to a level that doesn't impede his daily life thanks to the Mystic Eye Killer glasses he once received from his teacher (Aozaki Aoko), the same cannot be said for when he runs into extreme situations. Ultimately, it becomes possible to not only see the "lines" and "points" of living and inanimate things, but also the death even of space and existence.

    直死の魔眼
    七年前の事故の後遺症として、遠野志貴に発現した異能の力。万物に予め内包された「死期」という概念⸺モノの死に易い線、を捉える魔眼。
    『現在の技術でも到達できる物理現象』に対する『どうあっても到達できない現象』のひとつ。この死の線、をなぞる事で対象に切断と死を与える事を可能とする(これは切断によって殺害するのではなく、殺害の結果として対象が切断されている)。
    かつて先生(蒼崎青子) から譲り受けた魔眼殺しの眼鏡によって日常生活に支障ないレベルまで力を抑えられるが、志貴が極限状態へと陥った際にはそのかぎりではない。
    究極的には生物のみならず非生物の「線」や『点』、さらには空間や存在の死まで視覚で捉える事が可能とされる。

    Q: Caster's ability as a magus is at the wizard level, but is it possible for Caster (Medea) to become a wizard in the future? Also, are there beings that have a "higher level as magi" than the current wizards?

    Q: Caster's ability as a magus is at the wizard level, but is it possible for Caster (Medea) to become a wizard in the future? Also, are there beings that have a "higher level as magi" than the current wizards?

    A: Caster's a magus back in the day that true magic was common so she wouldn't have good affinity with the "Five True Magics of the Modern Era" anyhow, so, she isn't going to be able to pick up True Magic.
    Also there are actually quite a few magi with level higher than the current wizards. In the first place, Aozaki Aoko herself is inferior as a magus than the lecturers of the Clock Tower.

    Q:キャスターの魔術師としての実力は魔法使いレベルとのことですが、キャスター(メディア)が今後魔法使いになる可能性はあるのでしょうか? また現存する魔法使いより"魔術師としてのレベルが高い"存在はいるのでしょうか?

    A:キャスターは魔法が当たり前だった時代の魔術師なので、"現代の五大魔法"とはそもそも相容れないので、彼女が魔法を修得する事はできません。
    現存する魔法使いよりレベルの高い魔術師はわりと多いです。そもそも蒼崎青子自体、魔術師としてなら時計塔の講師に劣りますから。

    Q: In the other Type-Moon works, who else besides Arc can fight against Servants?

    A: If we're working on the condition of one on one, with an extremely average Noble Phantasm. Generally most of the 27 Ancestors, Kishima Kouma, Aozaki Aoko.
    If it's just a defensive fight, but would still be a fight, then Ciel. Shiki (Rakkyo), Shiki (Tsukihime) are no match for Servants....but Ryougi Shiki (3rd personality) might be able to go as far as the Ciel class.

    Q:TYPE-MOON他作品で、アルク以外にサーヴァントとガチンコできるのは誰ですか?

    A:一対一、宝具が極めて平均的なものであるなら…という前提でいきます。二十七祖のほぼ全員、軋間紅摩、蒼崎青子。防衛戦だが戦闘になる、というのであればシエル。式、志貴の主人公コンビはサーヴァントには及びません…でも、「両儀式」ならシエルクラスまであがるかも。

    Q: It has been said that a certain Aozaki cannot even defeat a serious Caster, is this "certain Aozaki" Aoko Aozaki? Is this an assessment based on Aoko using True Magic?

    A: "A certain Aozaki" includes both Aoko and Touko. In a magecraft battle by modern standards, a "magus" who is capable of defeating a serious Caster does not exist.

    Q:某蒼崎でも本気キャス子に敵わないそうですが、その某蒼崎とは青子の方ですか?その場合、それは魔法 込みでの評価でしょうか?

    A:青子、橙子、どっちらも該当します。現代の魔術勝負で、本気キャス子に勝てる"魔術師”はいないですよ。

  36. Spoiler board on the old Type Moon Webpage - The diagram between Arc and Blue leans 70% towards Arc. However, if Blue is thoughtlessly cornered, she would use "something not good" for Arc, so Arc avoids her. Other than this act, as Kagami-san says, ORT would be the "strongest in a fight."

    Starmine, Starbow [Technique name]
    The names of the sorceries used by Aozaki Aoko.
    It seems that it's easy for her to visualize things like exploding fireworks and rotating stars, so her instant incantation sorcery invariably ends up being nature interference based on these images. The Starmine line is for fluid motion, while the Starbow line is for fluctuating applications.
    Aozaki Aoko can be considered a close-combat type magus, who fires magical energy from her elbow that calls forth a sorcery formula as it passes through her fist. For those unfortunate enough to face her as an enemy, both of her hands probably look like rocket burners.

    スターマイン、スターボゥ【技名】
    蒼崎青子が使用する魔術名。
    彼女にとって炸裂する火花や自転する星はイメージしやすいものらしく、瞬間詠唱による魔術はきまってこれらに基づいた自然干渉となる。スターマイン系は流動的な運動、スターボゥ系は変動的な応用。
    蒼崎青子は肘から魔力を撃ちだし、拳を通過した時点で魔術式を成立させる“格闘系”の魔術師と言える。彼女を敵に回した者にとって、その両手はロケットのバーナーのように映るだろう。

    Sword Camelot [Codecast]
    A special type of codecast known as a “Finality”.
    A secret spell that a renowned magus family passes down in its lineage.

    Sword Camelot is the secret codecast of the Harways.
    It’s a castle used so that two knights who value honor can determine who is the better of the two without the interference of interlopers.

    The wall of flame encircling their surroundings cannot be destroyed unless it is by the welder of a holy sword who is against the duel.

    Oh and that magic missile that a certain magic user used to destroy this reeeeally priceless relic ought to eventually fall in the category of Finalities.
