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.

Personality

Yachie is quite polite, but also pretty manipulative, polite on the surface, and condescending underneath. She is also quite straightforword and uses underhanded means.

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 used her power to make the heroines not resist her.

Background Information

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.

Stage 4 Boss Matriarch of the Kiketsu Family Yachie Kicchou Species: Jidiao Ability: Capable of making people lose the will to fight back The Animal Realm, the ultimate survival-of-the-fittest world. It's a world where the strong rule as they desire... or at least it was, until a few beasts that were just a little more clever and wily than others began to form organizations. By now, a select handful of gigantic organizations dominate the world. Almost all of the animal spirits already have no chance of victory by themselves, and the only way to survive was to team up with one of these organizations and continue fighting as their slaves forever. Even as everyone continues to fight to exhaustion, an organization can never be stopped. The Keiga Family is an organization of beast spirits with excellent leg strength, fangs, and strong bodies The Kiketsu Family is an organization of beast spirits that excel at surprise attacks from the ground, the water, darkness, and so on. The Gouyoku Alliance is an organization of beast spirits that fight from the air or with overwhelming numbers, from a bird's-eye point of view. There's also an unidentified organization of beast spirits who excel in cowardly methods of fighting, such as traps, poisons, parasitism, camouflage, and so on. Within the Animal Realm, each of these enormous beast organizations competed for their share. Meanwhile, there was one group of spirits that were complete slaves to all of these organizations. Creatures that were weak in power, but had extremely dexterous hands: homo sapiens. In other words, human spirits. The beast organizations' ruling classes created a shelter for the humans, so that they could continue to be used as ever-capable slaves without going extinct. The shelter was called the Primate Spirit Garden. Only when they looked over the Primate Spirit Garden, filled with humans who had no means of resisting, did each of the organizations forget about their conflict. The Primate Spirit Garden was a peaceful recreational facility for everyone in the Animal Realm. But that was also their big mistake. The human spirits were powerless on their own, but collecting them all in one place soon led to the creation of a catastrophically destructive organization. The human spirits cursed their powerless selves, and began praying to a god. That god responded by giving the humans idols to worship. The power of faith was revolutionary. With their newfound faith, the human spirits no longer feared the beast spirits at all. Since acting out of anything but selfishness was previously impossible in the Animal Realm, perhaps their newfound ability to act in the spirit of altruism had a large effect on them. However, it was actually the idols, not the human spirits, that had the power. The human spirits intended to devote themselves to the divinity beyond the idols, but they actually came to worship the idols themselves. As a result, it was only natural that these idols began to dominate the humans. The idols took control of the Primate Spirit Garden, and the status of the human spirits plummeted to the bottom once again. In being dominated by idols, the Primate Spirit Garden became the most awful, out-of-control organization of all. The idols flew forth from the Primate Spirit Garden, and began to take over the Animal World. The idols had no flesh, soul or desire, and so the beasts were quite literally unable to lay a finger on them. At this rate, the Animal Realm would surely be ruled by the idols and fall into utter ruin. But the beasts weren't simply sitting around and waiting to be dominated, either. The Kiketsu Family, which specialized in sneak attacks, brought things back from the brink by devising a strategy to overthrow the idols. Namely: "drag in a human from the surface, and destroy the Primate Spirit Garden with a human's own hands". Since the beasts were incapable of forming religions of their own, they would invoke a religious war by pitting the idols against a human whose faith was different from the Primate Spirit Garden's idolatry. A truly bold strategy. Getting to the surface world from the Animal Realm wasn't an easy task. However, the Animal Realm and Hell are right next door to each other, and are relatively easy to navigate between. Because Hell was currently going through a power struggle of its own, it was easy to travel through it to get to the Human Realm. The beast spirits went to the surface via Hell, and put on a show of pretending to invade it (though if they actually succeeded in dominating it, that wouldn't have been half bad either). Yachie is the head of the Kiketsu Family, one of the four major organizations in the Animal Realm. She sent the beast spirits to the Human Realm in search of a human who could be of use. She acts courteously towards everyone, but looks down on the vast majority of them. Nobody can resist her.
