"All right! The time has come! J.J.! Tempest! We're taking off! Say bye-bye, 'cause we're outta here!"

Uzuki (ウヅキ) is a necromancer and one of the leaders of Amnesia. She goes by the alias of The Black Monger and is usually accompanied by her subordinates J.J. and Tempest.

Having first appeared as a secret cameo in Hilda's original arcade mode story ending, Uzuki made her playable debut in UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II Sys:Celes as the first character in the game's season pass.

Background

The Night stalker who witnesses the deaths of all things - the "Black Monger"

Uzuki is every bit as monstrous on the inside as she is elegant on the outside. All she wants to do is play with her bizarre powers and see lots of people suffer. This led her to join Amnesia, which she’d heard was full of interesting people. But when it turned out that the leader of Amnesia was obsessed with gaining further power in order to become a Re-Birth, Uzuki lost interest. The solution was simple: All she had to do was rip things apart until the fun came back. Thus begins her story of rebellion.

Information

Uzuki is a long-haired young woman and a more recent addition to Amnesia. She is a strange young woman who is recognizable in part for her choice of dressing completely in black, childish clothing, carrying a black parasol wherever she goes, her odd looking facial features as well as her grating voice.

Appearance

Uzuki is a young-looking woman with long, pink hair that goes past her feet and strange facial features, such as black pupils with white, hypnotic swirls and thin lips that leave her mouth seemingly locked in a wry smile. She wears a pair of glasses with thick, red rims. Her real eye colors are actually red, as shown on her in-game sprites and her arcade ending.

Her attire consists of a black corset with white strings and two straps that are connected to a choker and a pair of black pantaloons with two large belts hanging loosely from her waist. She wears long, black gloves that travel up to her upper arms, and high-heel boots. Uzuki's most defining aspect of her wardrobe is a large, black top hat that veers off to the side slightly with a white clip depicting a cartoonish face resembling that of a rabbit adorned just above the brim of the hat. She carries a black umbrella with a skeletal handle (Originally a normal steel handle) and a handbag, the contents of which remain unknown.

The hat Uzuki wears is able to emote and talk, as shown in concept art and her in-game animations.

Personality

A far cry from the other members of Amnesia, even including Hilda. Uzuki is described as being cruel and self-absorbed, having absolutely no respect for anyone else but herself and will go to any lengths to achieve her goals. Her train of thought is very simplistic and she mainly acts according to the first gut feeling she has. She despises taking orders from anyone, much preferring to do whatever she wants instead.

Compared to anyone else in Amnesia, Uzuki holds the most disdain towards Hilda, whom she refers to as an "Ignorant wench" (馬鹿女), and will go out of her way to berate her as much as possible.

Story

UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH (Exe:Late [st/cl-r])

Episode: Festival Flames (祭りの後火)
While Uzuki herself doesn't make a physical appearance, Chaos briefly refers to promoting new members that they have recently gained, and brings up Uzuki as a notable example. Thanks to Uzuki's EXS abilities, as well as Hilda wanting absolutely nothing to do with her, she quickly earns herself a promotion. She now acts as an Executive within Amnesia.

Episode: Power Beat (強者の鼓動)
Once again, Uzuki doesn't make a physical appearance, but when Waldstein passes through a group of visitors at Amnesia's party, he notices a girl wearing foreign clothes that remind of him of a "magician" or a "witch doctor", which could be referring to her.

Arcade Mode (アーケードモード)
Uzuki makes an appearance at the end of Hilda's Arcade Mode story only if the player has scored two-hundred-million points. She briefly appears alongside Enkidu when Hilda asks someone to dispose of Hyde and Linne, and she makes her dislike for Hilda very clear.

UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II Sys:Celes

Arcade Mode (アーケードモード)
TBA

Abilities

Uzuki's ability is the EXS of Ghostly Husks: Necromance (幽骸のEXS『ネクロマンス』), which gives her an ability to manifest objects and beings themed after supernatural entities, or more specifically, the undead, as well as slight manipulation over the movement of her hair. These objects include things such as large bone formations, and specters in the shape of skeletal bats wreathed in pink flames. It also gives Uzuki some degree of shapeshifting power, such as being able to change alter the size of her sentient hat and also turn herself into a puddle of slime to avoid attacks. Necromance is said to be very useful in larger-scale battles and Uzuki is usually called upon during them because of this. If Chaos' comments are to be believed, Uzuki is incredibly powerful thanks to her EXS, which is given further weight by her quick succession through Amnesia's ranks in a short timeframe. In battle, Uzuki fights with a black, sharp-tipped umbrella dubbed Beloa (ベロア). According to Vatista in Uzuki's arcade story, Uzuki's EXS is somewhat abnormal, and akin to those of Void's FLS energy.

Creation & Development

In a Q&A held on the website Twitter, it was stated that Uzuki's design was influenced by Seiichi Yoshihara getting into Goth-punk fashion and developing strong interest in that style of dress at the time of her creation. Additionally, Yoshihara mentioned his love of Capcom's Darkstalkers series and wanted to bring its essence into UNI in her gameplay and visuals.

Trivia

• Uzuki (卯月) is the traditional Japanese name for the fourth month in the Gregorian calendar, April. Four is also a traditional number of bad luck in Japan. April is sometimes referred to as the "Month of Death", which ties to Uzuki's visual theme as The Undertaker as well as her ability, Necromance.
• Uzuki shares her voice actor with Eltnum, being Satomi Akesaka.
• Before becoming a member of the roster in Sys:Celes, Uzuki was the only non-playable character who has both made a physical appearance and talk in the past that doesn't appear in Chronicle Mode, only getting a few offhand mentions.
• Despite only appearing in Hilda's UNI Arcade ending if certain conditions are met, Uzuki's dialogue portrait will always be unlocked in the gallery no matter if you've scored the amount of points necessary to trigger the ending or not.
• Previously, at time when the Season Pass of Sys:Celes was announced, Uzuki was originally scheduled to be released on August 2024, before her release date was instead changed to one month early on July 25th, 2024.
