That said, he has expressed several times the desire that even though he participates in these fights, he rather would want to defeat the enemy Sekirei without the use of aggressive violence because he wants to avoid hurting people in the process. He also never gets angry with his Sekirei and tries to convince them that despite his insecurities, he would fight with them and face his fear for his Sekireis' sake. Unlike many Ashikabis, he often worries about the fights where his Sekirei get involved and shows the utmost care and respect for his Sekirei. Minato's mother seems to be the cause of this side of his personality, as it's been stated several times that Minato never had the guts to go against his mother or his sister, who has a personality the complete opposite of his. He also frequently laments over his inability to protect his Sekirei, and is prone to blaming himself whenever they get hurt. Another good example is Tsukiumi refusing Minato's request to participate in the escape plan to help Kuno and Haruka Shigi escape from the capital or Homura who decides that he should be the one to hold on Matsu's stolen Jinki for the time being without asking for Minato's permission. An example of this is when he ordered Musubi and Tsukiumi to avoid the dangerous roaming veiled Sekirei (actually Uzume), he immediately received the opposite reaction and wasn't able to convince them to stay home instead of going after the mysterious Sekirei. Overtime, however, he grows to realise how important he is to his Sekirei, and vows to become a person worthy of their affection.īecause of his insecurities, Minato initially has a rather passive personality and often lacks the confidence to go against his own Sekirei when they decide on something.
As a result of his insecurities, he initially couldn't understand how he was an Ashikabi, believing that an Ashikabi should be someone special. In reality, he is extremely intelligent and his failures stem from an inability to cope under pressure, as shown when Matsu gave him an extra hard exam and he got every question right. Having failed the college entrance exam twice in a row, he believes himself to be a completely ordinary person with no distinguishing qualities.
~ Minato to Musubi, highlighting his insecuritiesįor most of the series, Minato's most defining trait is his complete lack of self-confidence. An Ashikabi should be someone special, right? I failed the college entrance exam not just once but twice. Minato also seems to have a likable appearance in the Sekirei universe as according to Homura, Minato has the facial expressions and gesture of a good person There are occasions when he wears a blue jacket over his white shirt but that happens only when he heads out together with his Sekirei. Minato is a tall, slim young man with messy black hair, gray eyes, almost always wearing a white shirt and blue jeans.
