“	I decide what "death" is.	„
	~ Yogiri Takatou

“	Even though I've come across tons of people who claim that they'll absolutely never die, or that they’re already dead, or that the concept of death doesn't apply to them, they all end up dead in the end.	„
	~ Yogiri after killing Maya

Summary

Yogiri Takato (高遠たかとお 夜よ霧ぎり, Takatō Yogiri) is the main protagonist of the Instant Death series and a high school student who got transported to another world by a woman called Sion. After being abandoned to die by his classmates for being powerless, and asleep, alongside Tomochika, Ayaka Shinozaki and an extra classmate they are quickly attacked by a wyvern and presumed dead.

Unbeknownst to his classmates and the "all powerful" sages that summoned him, Yogiri already possessed a special and powerful ability before being summoned into another world that can instantly kill anything with a single thought regardless of how illogical it may seem for the ability to work. Despite his powerful ability he is incapable of achieving the goal of returning home with it and thus he makes his way through the new world in order to find a way back home. Through the story, however, we slowly learn of Yogiri's true nature. An eldritch horror-type being who for unknown reasons manifested himself as Yogiri back in the old world.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Instant Death (即そく死し能のう力りょく, Sokushi Nōryoku): Instant Death is Yogiri’s ability to kill anything with a single thought. Although he usually says something like “die” along with it, it’s actually stated and shown to be thought-based on multiple occasions as he can also activate it while saying anything else, such as "you're the eyesore". It has been noted that what phenomena occurs after he targets an object to kill it is dependent on Yogiri's cognition of the death. For example, if a door's purpose is to block the way into another room, it only becomes logical that once the door dies, it will allow him to cross the entrance. However, this is something that Yogiri does not actively do when using his ability, as it occurs by itself. Despite the name of the ability, it is not necessarily instantaneous if Yogiri decides to not make it so, as there is some leeway as to when his targets can die, as long as they do die eventually. Seemingly connected to the nature of instant death, Yogiri's perception of the world shows him any hostility directed at him or his allies, or just plain hazards, and he use that to track enemies he would not normally be capable of detecting, predict their movements/thought patterns, or automatically retaliate with the activation of instant death. Automatic Defenses: Even if the opponent is faster than what Yogiri can physically react, his powers activate automatically to retaliate before any harm is done to him. Partial Killing: Yogiri can kill specific limbs or the organs of his targets if he wants, such as their senses (looking, hearing, smelling), arms, legs, fingers, hands, etc. Even if you cut off the affected limb and try to regenerate/heal it, said limb will still be affected by his ability, and thus won't ever function again, no matter what the target does. It should be noted that at the beginning of series, Yogiri wasn't fully capable of killing specific parts of the body, but he eventually learned how to do it by training with his powers. Immortality Negation: Yogiri is not only capable of killing anything, but he can also completely negate different types of immortality, such as resurrection, regeneration, people who are already dead, and even targets to whom the concept of death doesn't apply. Furthermore, even if the enemy resides in a different plane and uses avatars to attack Yogiri, he can reach the true form by killing said avatars. Resistance/Immunity Negation: Yogiri's power is capable of completely bypassing immunity and resistance towards instant death abilities. No matter how much defenses or resistances to instant death a person has, it is all meaningless in front of Yogiri. Gates (門もん): Due to wanting to be as human as possible, Yogiri constantly restrains his power with Gates (also called Seals) that are locked within his mind. By imagining them opening, he can release more of his powers one by one. Each gate (when unlocked) leads Yogiri to a new phase, and each phase greatly amplifies his power. From the second gate and up, those doors would automatically close after a certain period of time. This process was set up to prevent him from accidentally destroying the world. First Gate (第一門だいいちもん, Daiichi Mon): When this gate is active, Yogiri becomes capable of killing anything (with a thought or automatically), can sense killing intent, and can foresee any incoming danger that might harm him. This is the standard Phase that is usually active at all times. Second Gate (第だい二に門もん, Daini Mon): When this gate is active, in addition of the powers from the 1st Phase, Yogiri's ability can now kill targets on a more abstract/semantic level. Yogiri has used this phase to kill his own momentum, falling energy, gravity itself, radioactive photons, wind, noise, and heat. Additionally, he can use this power through the use of other people as a medium, being able to kill anyone/anything that his targets have ever seen from their memories, as well as automatically killing anyone who tries to kill a certain person he has "marked" with this power, essentially protecting them. Final Phase (第三門だいさんもん, Daisan Mon): This is the default state of Yogiri before he put any gate or restriction on his power when the organization asked him if he wanted to live a normal life. When the Third Gate is active, in addition of the powers from previous Phases, Yogiri's ability can now kill the associations between two things. Yogiri has used it to kill the connection/association/relationship between Mitsuki and his own dream (which was the universe), leaving him in a coma with the sole purpose of sustaining the world. Simply put, this Final Phase is capable of killing the repercussions and associations that would happen after the target is killed. Killing Intent, Precognition and Black Lines of Death: Yogiri can sense and foresee any incoming danger that might harm him or his allies beforehand, being able to quickly kill the cause or just dodge said harm flawlessly. Moreover, he can also see black lines/fogs on people or places, which indicates that there is potential danger involving them. It is later explained that Yogiri doesn't detect only killing intent, but actually any potential harm to his existence. For example, even when it comes to unintentional attacks, or attacks from a user that doesn't even know about Yogiri's existence, they are still automatically killed if it's a threat to him. In addition, he is able to detect power sources from different dimensions and kill them there, as well as detect people who have the power of being impossible to be perceived by any means. Subjective Threat-Detection: Yogiri's power can subjectively recognize certain types of abilities as "a threat" even if they technically don't do any physical harm to him, such as mental attacks, automatically retaliating the enemy before the ability even affects him.
