"I am the leader of the Kiketsu family. Do you really need any further explanation?" "Huh? What the...? Now that I think about it, I feel like I never had any questions..." — Yachie Kicchou and Reimu Hakurei (Wily Beast and Weakest Creature Stage 4.)
Yachie Kicchou (吉弔 八千慧 Kicchou Yachie) is the stage 4 boss of Wily Beast and Weakest Creature and the leader of the Kiketsu Family, one of the major organizations of beast spirits that dominate the Animal Realm of hell.
General Information
She first appeared as the mid-boss and boss of stage 4 of Wily Beast and Weakest Creature and is the leader of the otter spirits. Prior to the events of the game, she sent the beast spirits to the Human Realm to search for a human who could help against the haniwa army made by Keiki Haniyasushin.
Personality
Though polite and amiable on the surface, Yachie is a manipulative and condescending individual underneath. She is willing to use underhanded methods to succeed in her goal, including eliminating potential inconveniences if necessary. [1] She views human and animal spirits as resources and believes that cooperation is impossible in the animal realm and that competition is the way to make progress[2].
Abilities
- Making people lose the will to fight back
Her ability's true power is never directly mentioned. But when she confronts the heroines, she uses her power to make them unable to resist her orders, which is shown when the heroines agree to everything she says even though they do not understand what is happening. [3]
Occupation
Attention: This section is a stub and it needs expanding with more information related to the section's topic. If you can add to it in any way, please do so. |
Character Design
Origin
Yachie is based on the Jidiao (吉弔), a Chinese Legendary creature said to have been seen in Guangzhou and Guangxi. The jidiao has the body of a tortoise with the head and tail of a dragon.
Name
Yachie's full name is Yachie Kicchou (吉弔 八千慧 Kicchou Yachie). The first two characters in her name (八千 Yachi) mean eight thousand, and the third character (慧 e) means wise, which might refer to her manipulative nature.
Her surname "Kicchou" (吉弔) is taken directly from the Japanese pronunciation of "Jidiao". Those characters mean "good luck" and "funeral" respectively.
Design
Yachie is depicted with red eyes and blonde short hair with yellow antler-like horns. She wears a light blue shirt and a turquoise pleated skirt. She has a green scaly shell on her back, the scales extend to her long tail with segmented underside.
In her Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost appearance, she is depicted with yellow eyes.
Story
Games
Yachie finds the heroines and she tell them that the enemy they are searching for is not in hell, but if they defeat her she will tell them where it is. After being defeated, she tells them that their objective is in the Animal Realm and exactly in the core of it. Furthermore, she tells them that if they defeat the enemy, the invasion will end.

Relationships
Keiki Haniyasushin
Yachie views Keiki as a competition and therefore a worthy opponent for the sake of progress. However, she also sees Keiki as an old enemy to get rid of in the struggle for resources (in this case, human spirits). That said, they are familiar enough to talk amicably with each other whilst in a confrontation [2]
Saki Kurokoma
Saki gets along terribly with Yachie, referring to the dragon turtle as "foul" or "creepy" [4], but respects her strength. Yachie at least seems to respect the Keiga clan wolf spirits.
Yuuma Toutetsu
It is unknown how Yachie thinks about Yuuma. However, considering that the Kiketsu Family and the Gouyoku Family formed an alliance during the events of Wily Beast and Weakest Creature, it is believed that their relationship is neutral, if not bad.
Son Biten
Yachie contacted Biten supposedly to prevent her to fall to Hell, but she was only using this pretext to make her help the Kiketsu family in its surface invasion. [5] Yachie seems to treat Biten as any of her subordinates: as mere pieces to move to achive an objective. However, Biten decided to keep working for her as she felt sorry for her after seeing that she was “the shell of herself” after Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost’s plot. [6]

- Yachie is the only Windows-era stage 4 boss to appear in a game's jewel case of such era.
- In Unconnected Marketeers' files, the background of Wily Beast and Weakest Creature's ending 10 is present, where Yachie appears. This is likely an error from ZUN, who maybe left it from WBaWC without realizing it.
