Description
Nagayuki Tsumita is the Dragon warrior in the twelfth Zodiac Tournament, known by his zodiac name Tatsumi Kyoudai Ani, meaning the elder Tatsumi brother. He stands 164 centimeters tall, weighs 58 kilograms, and has ochre hair and golden eyes. Born on November 11, he is the older twin brother of Takeyasu Tsumita, the Snake warrior. The brothers were born into the Dragon and Snake clans respectively, raised with the understanding that they would both participate in the tournament.
Nagayuki and his brother worked together as righteous thieves, stealing from the wealthy while avoiding killing whenever possible. Nagayuki is also proficient in hacking and electronic manipulation, skills that served their criminal operations. Despite his profession, he values the time spent with his younger brother and appears satisfied with their life together, showing no strong desire for any wish from the tournament. This makes his participation somewhat reluctant, as he is forced into a situation where only one brother can survive.
In terms of personality, Nagayuki is portrayed as arrogant but cool-headed, often taking on a commanding role when coordinating with his brother. He is pragmatic and profit-driven, described as someone who robs his enemies as he kills them. He possesses a strong will and is intolerant of perceived weakness in others, though he also demonstrates a caring side toward his brother. His first-person pronoun is ore-sama, reflecting his self-assured nature.
Nagayuki's primary ability is called Heaven's Holding, which allows him to remain suspended in the air and even fly by manipulating his position in the sky. He carries a tank of liquid nitrogen on his back, which he uses to create a stream of freezing air that can attack enemies from above. This ranged cryogenic weapon is named Yukionna, or Snow Woman. His fighting style is aerial and opportunistic, using his mobility to gain advantageous positions.
His role in the story begins with the tournament already underway, as his brother is killed by the Rabbit warrior, Usagi, before the official start. Snake is decapitated and later reanimated as a zombie puppet under Rabbit's control, forced to fight against Nagayuki. This development drives Nagayuki's emotional arc, as he must confront his own brother's corpse in battle. He also uses his own Beast Gem delicately, aware of the time limit imposed by the poison. His wish is reported to be essentially nothing, indicating that he does not seek a grand prize but was simply fulfilling his duty as a clan representative.
Nagayuki's development centers on his reaction to his brother's death and the subsequent confrontation. He is visibly shocked and distressed when he learns what happened to Snake, and his combat decisions become driven by a mixture of grief and resolve rather than pure profit. The tragedy of the twins underscores the cruel nature of the tournament.
In the tournament, Nagayuki is methodical and strategic, watching other warriors fight before committing to an engagement. He survives for a significant portion of the war but ultimately falls victim to the Ox warrior's precise and overwhelming attack.
His notable abilities include Heaven's Holding for flight and vertical control, the liquid nitrogen emitter Yukionna for long-range freezing attacks, and his expertise as a thief and hacker, which gives him unconventional tactical options. His combat style combines aerial mobility with direct damage, making him a versatile threat in the chaotic battlefield.
