– Yuta to Leez[1]

Yuta is a rakshasa sura of Taraka and Garuda heritage. This name, used among the humans, was given to him by Leez Haias; his brother Maruna refers to him by another name, Jatayu.[2] His real name is hidden and not yet known.

His mother is the primeval god Kali, and his father is the king of the Garuda clan. His primary goal is to locate his brother and sister, from whom he was separated over 100 years earlier. Once he arrives on planet Willarv, he joins Asha Rahiro and Leez Haias on their journey to Kalibloom, and develops a crush on Leez. However, his stepmother Taraka puts doubt in his mind whether his feelings are actually love, or just hunger.

Appearance

2nd stage

Yuta's human form in this stage resembles a thirteen-year-old boy with pale skin, short and straight black hair, and gray eyes. He wears a pale whitish-pink cape, long enough to cover his bare chest, back, and part of his light gray trousers. His cape opens on the left side because he is left-handed.[3] He carries his tightly-wrapped sword on his lower back.

Yuta's teeth

He also has a crack-like marking on the right side of his chest. He tries to hide his sura traits from humans, namely, a mouth full of sharp, pointy teeth, and black blood.

His sura form has an adult-like appearance and resembles his father Garuda. His coloring is darker than in his human form.[4] Yuta is somewhat large for a 2nd-stage sura, and he has a long, very strong tail.[5] Ran Sairofe notices a resemblance between Yuta's human and sura face.[6]

3rd stage

Yuta's human form in this stage resembles a boy in his mid- to late-teens, with the same hair, eyes, and skin color as his previous stage. His former cape is now a loosely-fitting scarf that seems to float around him, leaving his bare chest mostly exposed. The crack-like markings have spread further compared to his 2nd stage and become red when he transforms to his sura form.

His sura form appears less Garuda-like than his 2nd-stage form, and more like an armored humanoid.[8] His black, scaly armor is accented with red around his eyes, face, chest, upper arms, and upper legs. He has a prominent nose and a long, spiked tail. His scarf is also black and worn around his neck. Currygom has hinted that Yuta's true sura form visage is hidden behind a mask.[9]


In Season 3, we see a glimpse of what Yuta's development would have looked like if he had gone with his Garuda form instead, due to his forked development.[10] In a monochrome scene, Yuta's sura-form head looks much like Maruna's.[7]

General

When he is angered, his eyes become a menacing red and some lines appear on his face, right on the cheekbones and at the corner of his eyes; this tends to occur when he is extremely aggravated or wants to nullify magic. His eyes occasionally turn blue-green, the same color as those of his mother Kali[11] as well as his stepmother Taraka.[12] This seems to indicate when he uses his Kali-like insight ability (see Skills and Abilities).

Yuta's sura wings appear at will and they were likely the reason he did not wear anything under his cape during his second stage. His left wing comes from his Garuda half: it is a feathered wing, similar to Maruna's but with completely black feathers. The right wing, instead, is from Chaos and resembles a bat wing, with a semi-transparent pinkish membrane attached to a frame of red bones, with a gray bone hook on the wing's joint. The membrane is crossed by thin red veins.[13] Similar to the veins on his chest, the veins on his wing are always moving.[5]

Personality

Despite his apparent age and chaotic half, he has strong self-control thanks to the teachings he received from Shuri.[14][15] Sometimes his self-control slips, but not to the point of killing humans or hunting suras indiscriminately.

Yuta cares greatly for his companions, to the point of pretending to be a half for Leez Haias's sake, and a pure-blood for Ran; he also tries to protect halfs with whom he crosses paths.

After his development to 3rd stage, however, he admits to Asha that he has changed, becoming more indifferent towards anyone who does not concern him, not caring for anyone but Leez.[16] He still continues to try to maintain a friendly image, despite his annoyance with the way humans treat him, which makes him feel suffocated.

Despite his origins, he always identifies himself as being from the Garuda clan, not the Taraka clan.

Yuta has not revealed his real name, not even to Leez, whom he seems to be attracted to; the reason seems to be that the Taraka clan was made with the faulty and dangerous names left at the beginning of the universe by Kali. In fact, his brother Maruna does not appear to know Yuta's true name, either.

Notes

  • Yuta is one of the 12 characters that appear in the Prologue to Season 1.[17] He shares a panel with Leez and may represent 'protection and love'.
  • During his stay with the Garuda clan, he often hid his wings. Because they were a mismatched pair, Garudas other than his siblings bullied him.[13]
  • He's a unique existence, because suras can only reproduce with other suras from the same clan. He is also the only known child of a god so far in the story.
  • Yuta seems to know Vishnu personally, in a similar way that Kasak knows the primeval god.[18] This is because Visnu has been shown visiting both him and Shuri in Isholy sometime before the Cataclysm.[15]
  • Yuta is left-handed, though he can use both hands. His 2nd-stage clothes opened on the left side.[3]
  • Kali embedded an illusion in Yuta's mind, so in his eyes, Taraka has the same appearance as his real mother Kali. The parts that are different are Taraka's hairstyle, clothes, and tentacles. However, everyone else sees Taraka as a monster.[11]
  • His sword originally belonged to Garuda, who passed it down to Maruna, who in turn gave it to Yuta.
  • Yuta participated in the first 2 stages of the Test of the Sword, the tournament for the Sword of Return in Kalibloom. In the first stage he broke 47 boards, and in the second he scored 98/100, each time deliberately attaining a score just below Leez's.[19]
  • Yuta has been described by fans as yandere because of his behavior towards Leez since reaching 3rd stage.

Quotes

  • "I can't do it. Don't ask me to give up one or the other. ...I can't." — after stopping the fight between Leez and Maruna[2]
  • "What's going to happen to me now? I'm scared that I might really turn into the bad guy. It would probably be better if I stayed away from everyone, but I don't want to be alone." — sharing his development concerns with Asha[16]
