Asuka Tachibana

Voiced in the US release by Dave Wittenberg.

Age 16 - Asuka Tachibana is a member of HOLY who possesses the alter power of the 'Eternity Eight.' Tachibana has a sweet demeanor when he's not fighting, but when conflict arises he becomes stern and professional. Early in the series, a bitter but unrequited rivalry with Kazuma rises after he is embarrassed by Kazuma during his escape from HOLD headquarters. During Episode 5 he fights Kazuma a second time but loses miserably after having his eternity eight crushed by Kazuma's Annihilating Second Bullet. Kazuma then proceeds to finish him off with the Exterminating Last Bullet despite Asuka releasing the last of his Eternity Eight in a green energy wave. Later in the series, Tachibana befriends Kazuma after being trapped in an underground cave. He then asks Kazuma for a rematch but is defeated for a third time when Kazuma smashes through the Eternity Eight. After this he is given new insight into the ideals of the native alters from Kazuma. He then decides to leave HOLY and disappears to adjust to his new found life as a broker, helping merge the ghetto and metropolis. He later helps Mimori and the others. His physical appearance is almost identical to Ryuho's, but with purple hair instead of Ryuhou's green. He has a girlfriend named Cammy.

Asuka's alter, Eternity Eight, consists of eight small emerald orbs that act as an extension of his will, proving to be one of the most versatile alters in the series. These orbs allow him to control minds (although some alter users can resist this effect by a force of will), form a shield or a sword, heal himself or others, or fly at great speeds. He can also use them to manifest a bow to fire his Eternity Eight as an arrow, aptly named "Eternity Extra Shot". He first appeared in Episode 3
