This is supposed to be classified information held within MBI, however most Sekirei and many Ashikabi know about it anyway.Īshikabi throughout the series have been shown to be lacking in purpose and hope, as MInato was an introverted ronin suffering from crippling self-doubt, Mikogami was friendless, neglected, lonely, and socially inept, Higa was burdened by the pressures of being groomed into a specimen worthy of inheriting his family's company, Seo was down on his luck and showed signs of being world-weary and self-hating despite his bravado and alpha-male image, Oosumi was a drifter who felt as though he meant nothing to anyone and lacked anything to set him apart from his peers, Chiho was sick, frail, imprisoned, and grieving, and Natsuo was grieving, immensely nihilistic, and suicidal following the death of the love of his life. Another important part of the Ashikabi-Sekirei relationship is the fact that when an Ashikabi is killed, all of the Sekirei that they have winged are 'terminated'. Miya also stated that the reward for the last Ashikabi in the game ( Sekirei Plan) is the last Sekirei. According to Miya, many of the current Ashikabi may be descendants and have genetic remnants of former "authority holders" from a distant past within them.

If the link is particularly strong it can enable full telepathic contact. The feelings of the Sekirei can also be felt in return by the Ashikabi. For example, when Musubi's crest disappears and Minato becomes sad and starts crying, Tsukiumi and Kazehana (who wasn't winged at the time) feel his pain Kusano who is far off at Izumo Inn immediately knows what happened, and it is implied that Matsu also can feel Minato's feelings. One aspect of the bond between Sekirei and Ashikabi is that they can feel each others feelings. The power of an Ashikabi can be determined not only by the number of Sekirei he or she has bonded to him or her, but by the emotional bond between them. In terms of appearance, unlike Sekirei (who are mostly buxom women or handsome young men) Ashikabi can be quite innocuous as they vary in gender, age, sexual orientation, personality, and even social status, however most prominent Ashikabi, such as Higa, Natsuo, Seo, and Yukari, are good-looking, and a few, such as Natsuo, Higa, and Mikogami, are very wealthy. The only Ashikabi said to have forcefully winged Sekirei are Higa Izumi and Mikogami Hayato. If a person is an Ashikabi they can forcefully wing Sekirei against their will, but this goes against the principle that the Ashikabi's power is the power of fate (as stated by Asama Takehito and Seo Kaoru) rather than letting the Sekirei find their destined Ashikabi naturally.


For the vast majority of Sekirei, the reaction is one of deep and committed romantic love and fondness, although some Sekirei may instead view their Ashikabi as one does a friend or sibling, such as Mutsu's relationship with Hayato Mikogami, who he reacted to. The result is a "winged" (or "emerged") Sekirei with whom an everlasting bond is forged.

Some prominent Ashikabi involved in the Sekirei Plan, from the viewer's left-right: Natsuo, Mikogami, Higa, Sanada, Seo, and Minato.Īshikabi (葦牙) are humans with unique genes that enable them to empower Sekirei destined to serve them through an exchange of DNA between the Sekirei and the Ashikabi (usually done through a kiss).
