Telos Karma (究極の羯磨(テロス・カルマ), Terosu Karuma), also known as the Ultimate Karma (究極の羯磨, Kyūkyoku no Katsuma), is a Longinus wielded by Mitsuya Kanzaki.

Summary[]

In the past, there were several sudden incidents and phenomena impossible to explain under normal circumstances by historians or researchers causing a change in human history in places such as Japan and Europe caused by this Longinus, in particular, earning it the name "History Breaker".[1]

Four years prior, Telos Karma originally belonged to Momiji Nakiri, a member of one of the Five Principal Clans and little sister of their former heir and original owner of the Yellow Dragon, Nakagami Nakiri who had been hailed as the "Strongest Ouryuu in History" before causing an incident involving Tobio Ikuse and Vali Lucifer in Kyoto.

At some point, she disappeared and Mitsuya Kanzaki became the current possessor of Telos Karma, sparking the animosity of her little cousin Ouryuu Nakiri (born as Ryuuta Nakiri).[2]

Appearance[]

Abilities[]

Telos Karma has the ability to forcibly create and enforce options and choices that aren't possible normally, changing the possibility of certain phenomena into unexpected events. Ouryuu further elaborated on this by providing examples such as Telos Karma causing Ajuka's Game, Beelzebut, to experience failures and/or affecting the surroundings of a trained swordswoman like Xenovia, leaving her unable to react to something as simple as a thrown stone.[1] Telos Karma is said to be capable of changing or interfering with the course of the history of the world.[1][3]

  • Transcendental Arrival (嵌手(トランセンデンタル・アライヴァー), Toransendentaru Araivā): A technique that allows Mitsuya to artificially awaken both Balance Breakers of Innovate Clear and Telos Karma. When activated, Mitsuya's body becomes clad in a futuristic-looking powered exoskeleton. In this form and the world it creates, the user can control fate as they desire,[1] and Telos Karma's effects become enhanced to the extent that not even a God-class being can fully resist them.[4]

Trivia[]

  • The name of the Longinus comes from two words; "Telos" and "Karma", which both refer to a school of thought about a individual's purpose or actions:
    • Telos (/ˈtɛ.lɒs/; Greek: τέλος, translit. télos, lit. "end, 'purpose', or 'goal") is a term used by philosopher Aristotle to refer to the full potential or inherent purpose or objective of a person or thing, similar to the notion of an 'end goal' or raison d'être. Moreover, it can be understood as the "supreme end of man's endeavour."
    • Karma (/ˈkɑːrmə/; Sanskrit: कर्म, romanized: karma, IPA: [ˈkɐɽmɐ]; Pali: kamma) means action, work or deed; it also refers to the spiritual principle of cause and effect where intent and actions of an individual (cause) influence the future of that individual (effect). Good intent and good deeds contribute to good karma and happier rebirths, while bad intent and bad deeds contribute to bad karma and bad rebirths.
  • Telos Karma's status as the 13th Longinus which is considered heretical is a reference to the cross-cultural belief that the number 13 brings bad luck.
