Summary
Kurumi Tokisaki (時崎 狂三, Tokisaki Kurumi) is the third spirit to appear, and so far the most brutal spirit in the series. She is also the first spirit to appear as an antagonist in the Date A Live series.
However, Kurumi is later revealed to be not truly malicious, as she tries to drain humans' lifespan to gather power to travel back in time and kill the first spirit, whose appearance caused the devastating spacequake that killed 150 million people.

Notable Attacks/Techniques: Kurumi mainly can manipulate time, but her main power is associated with controlling shadows. Shadow is her primary element while Time is her secondary element in terms of usage. Combined with the power of the 8th bullet, she can create a clone that has all of her experiences, memories, abilities, etc. These clones can take the form of long white hands with red outlining when they are in Kurumi's shadows. However, as these are her past selves, they sometimes may contain feelings which the current Kurumi no longer possesses and as such, Kurumi will not hesitate to kill these clones if they choose to disobey her.
- City of Devouring Time: Uses a red barrier to trap and consume other people's life forces to refill her own. This ability not only consumes the life force of the opponents but restores her own power. She used this ability to send thousands of people into a comatose state in an instant.
- Spacequakes: These occur when Spirits from the alternate dimension occasionally appear in the human world, bending the wall between dimensions and resulting in large-scale explosions. All Kurumis can summon and dismiss these at will.
- Clones: Kurumi can create at least hundreds of clones which have her physical abilities, if several are destroyed, she can create other
- Hands of Darkness: Kurumi immobilize the opponent by creating white hands behind him and block it, she can use this move for absorbing people in her dark dimension
- With Zafkiel (only the real Kurumi can use these):
- To activate any power she needs, she first needs to call her Angel (regardless of whether or not the Angel has been summoned already), and position her flintlock at the number of the bullet on the Angel. Next, she needs to shoot the bullet at the target with the gun. If she needs to use the power on herself, then she is required to shoot herself.
