Yami Asgard/Personality and Relationships





Personality
Yami was taught to maintain a stern, serious, and distanced personality, but often loses his temper in a goofy and exaggerated comical style. It would seem however, that this anger is the only emotion that Yami often feels comfortable showing. Outside of situations where he feels confident in battle, he rarely smiles or laughs. Even in moments that are particularly tough on the Guild and would warrant sadness, Yami chooses to maintain a quiet solemnity rather than outwardly express his emotions. He has been shown to believe to a degree that these emotions can hinder his judgement as a swordsman: when Nagato asked him if he was out for revenge upon discovering his sister's body, he replied that he doesn't fight for reasons like that. He can also be extremely intimidating, easily frightening weaker opponents with just his glare. It has been stated that he has a monstrous killing intent. Furthermore, it has also been stated that Yami is a born killer capable of showing no mercy during combat; it has been mentioned that Yami has killed before. Despite this, Yami has a kind heart, shown as he was willing to risk his life for the sake of a little girl he did not know shortly after his introduction. When fighting weaker or innocent people, he does try to hold back when fighting and use the dull side of his swords in order not to seriously injure them.

He has a strong sense of leadership and reasoning. While technically not a samurai, Yam maintains Bushido to a certain degree (e.g. he consistently refuses to attack an adversary whose back is turned, the only exception being when his friends are in imminent danger of losing their lives in which Yami would strike the attacker from behind)

While Dueling Yami can be very tenacious like when he is fighting but he can also be very relaxed and goofy. Yami loves Dueling and believes that most problems can ultimately be solved through it. He keeps going no matter how hard things get or how hopeless it seems, with a few exceptions (though it doesn't take much encouragement for him to start fighting again), although he does sometimes doubt himself. He always shows respect towards his opponents during a duel, with a few exceptions, even complimenting them during a Duel.

One of Yami's common traits is that he tends to make jokes or puns, even in some situations where it is not appropriate. Most of the jokes he makes are Duel-related but on a few occasions he does make jokes at someone's expense.

Yami has a close bond with his Celestial Spirits, to the point where he has no problem with an opponent insulting him, but is angered when they insult his cards. Yami is also fiercely loyal to his friends, which often results in his risking his life to save them.
