Appearance
Kohina with Kagetane Hiruko
Kohina from Black Bullet has a unique and distinctive appearance, marked by an intricate and detailed outfit that reflects her character’s mysterious and enigmatic nature. She wears a small dress adorned with many intricate designs, particularly around the middle areas, which contribute to its ornate look. The dress features a blouse with loose shoulder garments and lighter-colored edges, adding an element of softness and delicacy to her appearance.
A key feature of her blouse is a hole around her neck area, revealing a small portion of her chest, which gives her outfit an elegant yet subtle touch of allure. Below the blouse, her stomach is covered by a slightly thicker adornment with intricate artwork, highlighting the attention to detail in her attire.
On her back, Kohina wears a piece of clothing that functions as a sheath for her double blades, a practical and functional aspect of her outfit. The lower portion of her dress consists of two layers of fabric, resembling petals, with a light color that adds a gentle and ethereal quality to her overall look.
Her clothing and overall appearance suggest a blend of grace, mystery, and combat readiness, fitting for her role in the Black Bullet series.
Personality
Kohina from Black Bullet exhibits a complex personality, heavily influenced by her father’s cruel and unrelenting nature. She shares his ruthlessness, often displaying a cold and calculated demeanor as she annihilates those who stand in her way without remorse. However, Kohina’s actions occasionally reveal an inner conflict, especially when it comes to taking someone’s life. This is evident when she questions her father about whether she should kill Rentaro Satomi, who had threatened them at the time. Later, she repeats this hesitation with Enju Aihara, indicating that while she is capable of cruelty, there are moments where she grapples with her actions.
Her vengeful side is another prominent aspect of her character, particularly when she targets those who have thwarted her plans or saved individuals she intended to harm. When such events occur, Kohina loses her composure, badmouthing her opponents and calling them weak in a fit of rage, showcasing her emotional volatility in the face of failure.
Despite her predominantly cruel persona, Kohina is not entirely devoid of emotions. Her reaction to Rentaro’s apparent death after Kagetane’s defeat reveals a more vulnerable side to her. Kohina bursts into tears, saddened by the loss, showing that beneath her cold exterior, there are still emotions at play. This mix of cruelty, vulnerability, and inner conflict makes her a layered and unpredictable character in the Black Bullet series.
