Asa Mitaka

Asa Mitaka (三み鷹たか アサ, Mitaka Asa?) is the main protagonist of the Academy Saga. She is a high school student who became the host of the War Devil, Yoru, making her the inhabitance of the War Fiend (戦せん争そうの魔ま人じん, Sensō no Majin?), though she still retains her human personality when Yoru allows her control, making her a rare case of a living Fiend host. Due to half of her brain intact, Asa can occasionally or be forced to switch with Yoru sometimes, mainly in battle or when Yoru is bored.

Asa attends Fourth East High School with Denji, with whom she briefly attempted to start a relationship with, ending in disaster, though she develops a crush on his alter-ego, Chainsaw Man instead. After a meeting with Fami she becomes a Famous Devil Hunter as a member of the Chainsaw Man Church.

Asa is a 18 year old high school girl of average height and build. She has brown eyes that are usually pitch dark, though the irises become much brighter in some situations. Her straight hair is black and reaches the middle of her back, and she wears it in two low twin tails, making it appear shorter. Asa also has bangs that reaches her eyebrows, she will often switch and wear her hair at shoulder length loosely with long bangs on the side that reaches her chin. outside of school her hair is usually down, she has a curvy body with slightly wide hips whilst having soft yet slightly ample breasts.

She wears her school's female uniform which consists of a long-sleeved white button up shirt worn beneath a black pinafore style dress with a pleated skirt that extends below the thigh, a black bow at the collar, a wide belt at the waist, and black, thigh-high socks. She also wears sneakers. her alternate school uniform is a long sleeve white collared button up shirt and a black skirt that stops below her knees, black thigh high stockings and black shoes. in her apartment or out of campus grounds she wears more comfortable and outdoor clothing. such as turtleneck sweaters, hoodies, skirts, shorts, sneakers, and etc.

Asa is a quiet and unsociable girl. She dislikes all of her classmates, frequently wishing they would drop dead and spurning any offers of friendship or relationships. She is a very sensitive person and has a very negative outlook on the world, other humans, and Devils, and tends to assume the worst of others. She is, however, very fond of cats and would rather kill a human than a cat. Asa later admits to herself that her mean-spirited attitude towards her peers was a result of jealousy and a lack of belonging. She also suffers from low self-esteem and considers herself to be clumsy. Despite this, Asa can sometimes be falsely self-assured and overconfident. When the public gives her the recognition she yearns for, she initially claims to dislike being popular but then smiles while watching people on TV praising her. Asa can be extremely socially inept, so much so that the War Devil inside her shows more social awareness than her despite having limited knowledge about humanity.

Her moral compass is somewhat artificial, as she is often more worried about the consequences certain actions carry instead of the actions themselves. For example, she doesn't feel bad about having accidentally killed Bucky but feels bad because of the looks her peers gave her. This also gets reaffirmed in the aquarium, where Asa refuses to kill Denji after being trapped and starved for several days. She doesn't do so because it goes against her morals but because she does not know what is right and wrong and constantly tries to avoid making mistakes.

Asa is fairly altruistic, putting herself in harm's way to save others even when she is afraid. Asa would be willing to endure bad situations if only she were to suffer, but refuses to drag others with her. After being saved by Chainsaw Man, she realizes she's glad she's not dead and is no longer as negative towards other humans or towards all Devils. However, this was short-lived as she easily fell back into depression and even attempted suicide during the Falling Devil fight.

Asa doesn't cope well with failure or when things don't go her way and tends to overthink the problem. Because of past experiences, she is extremely afraid of making mistakes. Once she does make a mistake, however, she usually gets very angry and blames everyone around her except herself. Though after calming down she'll break down in self-deprecating rants and thoughts in her inner monologue. She seeks validation as shown by her internal monologue during her meeting with Yoshida or breaking down and seeking comfort from Yoru despite being afraid and screaming at her mere moments prior.

She struggles with trust and fears being alone, yet also fears approaching others because she worries about making mistakes and ending up alone once more. This puts her in a "cognitive dissonance" as she puts it, where she's afraid of both solitude and companionship. She is shown to have a negative opinion on sexual intercourse when Chainsaw Man reveals his main drive in life is to have sex and she openly expresses disgust and says "Ew". Asa believes people only have sex or kiss when there's nothing better to do, Asa says the thought of sharing her saliva and body with someone highlysickens and extremely disgusts her, because of this disgust, she believes she'll never experience such things since it grosses her out.

Object Weapon Creation: Asa is able to turn any object that belongs to her into a weapon. An object that belongs to her can either be something she bought or took. Object weapons created by Asa thus far are:

Super-Strong Uniform Sword (制せい服ふく強つよ強つよ剣けん, Seifuku Tsuyo-Tsuyo Ken?): A rectangular shaped sword made from Asa's uniform. Due to the sentimental value of it, as it was given to Asa by her late mother, the sword is extremely powerful. It was able to slice and dice Yuko in her Devil form into dozens of small pieces in an instant despite the sword being knocked away. Despite its power, the sword is extremely brittle and was destroyed in the school's collapse.

Aquarium Spear (水族館アクアリウム槍スピア, Akuariumu Supia?): A two-pronged spear approximately two meters long, made from the aquarium building Asa purchased for one million yen. The tips of the spear are fish-shaped and the handle of the spear drips water. Once impaled into a target, the full contents of the aquarium explode out of the victim's wound. This weapon is especially powerful due to the guilt Asa felt about destroying an entire aquarium and was strong enough to instantly kill the reincarnated Eternity Devil who imprisoned her in the aquarium.

Super Chainsaw Man Motorcycle (スーパーチェーンソーバイク, Sūpā Chēnsōman Baiku?): A motorcycle made from the motorbike stolen from a man driving on the street. This motorcycle possesses a very large chainsaw which is positioned horizontally between the two wheels and extends for a few meters out the front. Its other notable features are a vastly upgraded engine and a black livery. The bike also appears to be able to drive on its own. It has proven to be extraordinarily durable, being able to easily survive an entire apartment building being thrown onto it.

Unspecified Strong Weapon: Sometime after joining the Chainsaw Man Church, Asa created a sword to hunt devils. The sword consists of a black J-shaped crossguard covered in spikes and a seemingly detached levitating triangular blade. She used this weapon to kill at least 10 devils suggesting it's fairly powerful. It somewhat resembles one half of a scissor in its appearance which could suggest its origin.

Room 606 Sword (606号室剣 606-Gōshitsu ken): A large claymore created from Asa's apartment complex that she bought. The length of the weapon is nearly as tall as Asa, with pipes, a vent, a ceiling fan and leaves sprouting around the hilt. This sword was strong enough to instantly destroy a tentacle of the Octopus Devil. This weapon was created without the need of Asa/Yoru touching it.

Flesh Weapon Creation: Asa is able to make anyone she "owns", including humans, Devils, and Fiends, into a variety of deadly weapons almost instantaneously simply by touching them. This does not appear to immediately kill the human, as they can still scream in agony. In order to make a flesh weapon, Asa must either: take a limb from the victim which she can then turn into a weapon, kill them and turn their remains into weapons, or form a relationship with someone wherein they "belong to her". She can also make weapons from her own body parts which will violently tear themselves off her if she does so. Flesh weapons created by Asa so far are:

Nail Knife (爪つめナイフ, Tsume Naifu?): A simple dagger made from Asa's own fingernail, which violently ripped itself off. The knife is about a foot long, has a finger-shaped handle, an s-shape crossguard and a straight blade. It appears to bear no special properties much like a regular knife.
