  • Artist Info: Personality<br />
    Despite his ninja style background, he prefers to forgo the Assassins Code by shouting and making his presence known. Black Star seems to exhibit some form of superiority complex, due to his undying need to be known as number one. His delusion of stardom is so great that he constantly gives out autographs that nobody wants. Black Star hates it when someone gets more attention than him and will show them who the real star is. In fact, according to Dr. Stein, Black Star's soul is described as "a terribly self-absorbed soul." Black Star's favorite quote is "I will be the man who will surpass God" and Black Star's favorite number is 1, what he considers himself to be. When referring to himself, Black Star uses Ore-sama, which shows he holds himself with high regard. His hubris does not allow him to take insults on his abilities, such as when Nygus reminded him that he is human and was once tacitly envious of Kid's god-like body, which also exhibits some form of inferiority complex. <br />
    <br />
    All of his methods of going about solving anything are generally headstrong and dependent on physical strength, just like Soul. From time to time, he will abandon Tsubaki if she tells him to hold back or run away, which ends him up in a worse situation. This might come from people mostly seeing him as a member of the Star Clan and judging him for their actions rather than his own. He fights with honor and will do what it takes to defend or restore respect to any fallen friends. He will risk himself and put himself beyond his own limits to follow his own path. <br />

    He is seen training a lot and despite trying really hard, he always fails at tests of intellect regardless of the significant amount of time he spends studying. He is also anything but a quitter. Mifune is a prominent figure in Black Star's personality, and has had a profound effect on him. His first confrontation with Mifune revealed that Black Star would rather not take credit he does not deserve. Even after defeating Mifune, he spared his life and the life of the witch Angela, which equated to 99 souls and 1 witch soul, respectively. His final battle against Mifune changed Black Star dramatically. He now follows his own distinct path, separate from the path his father once tread. After the match, he has admitted that he is beginning to mature past his egotism, and is noticeably more cool-headed and less arrogant, although his pride still remains. He also stops comparing himself to God, and now instead seeks to become a 'Bushin.' He also has more focus in battle, making him a formidable opponent.<br />

    History<br />
    Black Star comes from a long line of assassins known as the "Clan of the Star" (Hoshizoku). The clan was known as a group of ninjas who did anything for money. They previously victimized people in several villages, which made them infamous in various places. Due to their actions thirteen years ago, the entire clan was exterminated by Shibusen. Black Star, who was still an infant at the time, was taken in by Shibusen. Despite this, Black Star bears no malice over the lost of his clan, because he understood that his parents led a wretched life and eventually paid the price for it.<br />

    Abilities<br />
    Physical Fitness: Black Star is noted to be the fastest Shibusen student, surpassing Kirikou. Aside from his speed, Black Star has displayed a large amount of endurance; he was able to participate in a prolonged and arduous battle against Mifune, during which he suffered numerous cuts from Mifune and still managed to defeat him. His fitness is also recognized by Stein, who is regarded as the strongest meister to have ever been from Shibusen. During a training session, even Stein was caught off guard by Black Star's physical prowess and admitted that Black Star was actually outdoing him, in that aspect. He is also regarded as the strongest attacker out of his team, consisting of Maka and Kid. His fitness was alluded to early on in the series, as he was often seen working out. <br />
    <br />
    Strong Wavelength: Black Star is a practitioner of Soul Menace — a trait shared by Stein. By resonating with one's own soul, the user can drive their own soul wavelength directly into an opponent's body through a physical strike on them. Although Black Star is not as proficient in using it like Stein, he has managed to create two of his own versions: Planet Destruction Cannon and Certain Kill: Black☆Star Big Wave. Aside from this, Black Star is noted to have an incredibly strong wavelength. Stein once gave Black Star Soul absorption water, which, as the name implies, seems to have the properties of absorbing wavelengths. At first, Black Star could barely put his hand in it, but, when asked about it later on in the series, he replies that he became annoyed and drank it all. According to Stein, not even an average adult meister would have lived if he or she did that. This is even farther alluded in that his Soul as shown in resonance with Tsubaki early in the series is only slightly smaller than Maka's Soul in resonance with Soul as a Death Scythe a good 50 chapters later. <br />
    <br />
    Ninja Abilities: Black Star comes from the Star Clan, which specializes in ninja tactics and stealth. Black Star's arrogance often leads him to reveal his whereabouts, defeating the purpose of the ninja arts. The few times he uses his ninja stealth is when he peeps on Tsubaki when she is bathing, or when he finally takes the fight seriously. Likely due to his lack of the sixth sense — soul sensing — Black Star has developed his natural five senses, most notably his sense of hearing. He was able to recognize unstable footsteps from Crona and was able to hear the conversation between Sid and Nygus when they were talking about Stein's arrival. He has also demonstrated his own "sixth sense", which he uses to fight against insanity wavelengths. This is seen when he is the only one besides Maka, Soul, and Harvar to remain calm when Arachne's insanity wavelength erupted throughout Baba Yaga's Castle, he also managed to "blow" away the insanity with his wavelength. <br />
    <br />
    Shadow Weapon: After Tsubaki absorbed her brother's soul, Black Star gained access to the Uncanny Sword. At first, the sheer power of the sword was far too high for Black Star to handle. However, through practice and making peace with the entity within the sword, Black Star gained access to its remarkable power. He mastered this power in time to face off against Mifune in their last battle. During the battle, Black Star used the sword, granting him unprecedented power and speed.<br />
    <br />
    Relationships<br />
    Tsubaki Nakatsukasa <br />
    Black Star's weapon partner. Tsubaki's attitude is more reserved and quiet which makes her the complete opposite of Black Star, but at the same time she does her best to cope with him. Unlike other weapons, Tsubaki has the ability to transform into multiple weapons, which allows Black Star to perform various Ninja-like techniques during a battle. This makes him a versatile fighter among the three main meisters. At times, she seems to be embarrassed to be around her partner, because of his eccentric personality, but deep down she's very fond of him and feels she can be herself around him. Black Star, while he rarely expresses it, is also very loyal and caring towards his weapon. Also Black Star and Tsubaki not only live together but they share a bedroom.
