Description
**Itsuki Mitsutagawa** is a second-year student at Shadowverse Battle College and leader of the near-disbanded Seventh Flame club, following mass resignations after a clash with rival club First Reaper. While distributing recruitment flyers to rebuild, he encounters Light Tenryu, whose subsequent enlistment alongside Subaru Makabe rescues the club from closure.
Physically, Itsuki stands 156 cm tall with multicolored pink hair styled in twin ahoge and blue eyes. He favors hoodies and projects a gentle, kind-hearted demeanor. Childhood isolation stemmed from frequent misgendering due to his love for flowers and cute aesthetics. Shadowverse becomes his outlet for self-acceptance, expressed through a Forestcraft deck brimming with floral and nature motifs. His strategy revolves around returning cards to hand to activate followers like Slade, Blossoming Wolf and Cosmos Fang—later amplified by Feral Awakening—enabling potent combos and OTK finishes. This approach falters against boards with large followers, a vulnerability exploited by rivals like Ryoga Jasei.
Conflicts fuel his growth. He bonds with Ren Kazamatsuri over shared experiences of non-acceptance, defending her Seventh Flame membership against Tatsumi Raido. During their duel, Itsuki affirms his resolve to remain authentic despite critiques of perceived weakness, securing victory and Ren’s admission. His conviction is tested against Ryoga Jasei, wielder of DigiFriend Demonium. After losing their initial match over opposing views on DigiFriends, Itsuki studies Ryoga’s Bloodcraft tactics and triumphs in a Shadowverse Club Tournament rematch by empowering Cosmos Fang with Feral Awakening, earning Ryoga’s respect.
The Seven Shadows arc intensifies his journey. After aiding Ryoga via a distress call, Itsuki battles Luca Yonazuki. Though defeated twice, his second loss forces Luca to fight seriously, validating Itsuki’s progress. He later yields a final battle opportunity to Mikado Shirogane, prioritizing Mikado’s needs over his own goals. During the world-saving conflict against Arc Ruler and Shade invaders, Itsuki and Subaru are tasked with deactivating Gaia Tower. They confront Erde in a 2 vs. 1 battle where damage manifests physically. Near defeat, their DigiFriends Slade and Baccherus shield them, evolving into Slade, Blossoming Storm and Baccherus, Grand Ghostie—cementing their bond and enabling victory, albeit with injuries.
In the climax against Wolfram Zerga, Itsuki supports Light by deploying Slade, Blossoming Storm. Post-victory, he accepts Arc Ruler’s offer to erase public memory of their heroism, insisting Seventh Flame alone must remember. After the crisis, he celebrates with the club and observes Light’s duel with Mikado, reaffirming his dedication to Seventh Flame.
