OVA
Description
Motoki Yaze attends Saikai Academy as a high school student alongside classmates Kojou Akatsuki and Asagi Aiba. He possesses a tall, slender frame standing 1.88 meters tall, with swept-back dark brown hair, teal eyes, and is frequently seen in the school uniform wearing headphones around his neck.
He is a descendant of the Devas, belonging to the Yaze Clan known for developing Hyper Adapters—psychically engineered individuals. Designated a "lackluster" Hyper Adapter in infancy, Motoki was assigned solely to observation duties. His childhood involved monitoring criminal politicians and corporations engaged in illicit activities. Before entering middle school, his half-brother Kazuma Yaze briefed him on Kojou Akatsuki and tasked him with observing Kojou due to Kojou's status as the Fourth Primogenitor, a role formally designated by the Lion-King Organization’s Far East District.
His core abilities involve manipulating air currents, vibrations, and sound waves. This grants him extended hearing for surveillance over kilometers, aerial self-propulsion, and the creation of sound-based clones. Utilizing these powers requires concentration aids like headphones and pharmaceutical enhancers ("pills") for amplification. However, his abilities carry significant drawbacks: extreme sensitivity to loud noises causes physical pain or incapacitation, and they prove ineffective against opponents moving faster than sound. Overuse of his powers or enhancers risks severe internal damage.
Personality-wise, Motoki presents a frivolous exterior but demonstrates deep loyalty and attentiveness to friends. He often orchestrates scenarios to advance Asagi’s romantic pursuits involving Kojou, though this meddling occasionally strains relationships. He shares a close childhood bond with Asagi, frequently teasing her about her feelings for Kojou. His friendship with Kojou remains genuine despite his secret observation mandate. He maintains a romantic relationship with Koyomi Shizuka, one of the Lion-King Agency’s Three Saints.
Within his family, Motoki relates closely to his half-brother Kazuma due to their shared experiences of marginalization—Kazuma as an illegitimate son and Motoki as an underperforming Hyper Adapter. His father, Akishige Yaze, headed the Gigafloat Management Corporation. Motoki later assumed roles as director of that corporation and president of the Yaze Consortium, leveraging his family’s substantial financial and political influence to protect Itogami Island from destruction orders.
Key developments include Motoki sustaining life-threatening injuries during a Tartarus Lapse attack targeting Asagi. This resulted in a coma, severe blood loss, and organ damage caused by power overuse. Hospitalized within a high-tech pharmaceutical facility, communication device confiscation isolated him from allies. During his recovery, he aided Nagisa Akatsuki, revealing a protective facet of his nature. These injuries temporarily nullified his combat and observation capabilities.
