~ Kizuna A.I clarifying on her purpose as an A.I. and what she intends to do with her existence as a "singularity" |
Character Synopsis
Kizuna A.I is a Japanese virtual content creator created by Ump8, mainly appearing on the A.I Channel as a part of a series of loosely connected videos. She would first make her debut in 2016 and would continue to stay on Youtube til 2021, with her goal being to connect the worlds of A.I. and humanity together to bridge the gap between two seemingly distant and alien existences. She would go on to be recognized as one of the first V-Tubers to have existed within the industry as we know it today, being the progenitor to many V-Tubers that exist and indirectly being the main cause behind the creation of many companies who would go on to ride the V-Tuber wave (such as Hololive, Nijisanji and many others)
The origin of Kizuna A.I was that she was an A.I that came to being after having gained "ego" (a sense of self) and simply wanted to connect with the people of the "real world". She originally existed as a transparent vacuum of nothingness but then she "birthed" herself within a white space in which she continues to stay in as her domain within The Virtual World and sometimes she'd venture outside of it to other parts of The Virtual World or even find herself in other universes altogether. Kizuna A.I is known for her adventures and her ambition to bridge the gap between A.I. and humanity but at her core, she's just an idol and simply wants to connect the world through music

Special Abilities:
Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Social Influencing (Kizuna A.I is known for her naturally charismatic personality that has allowed her to captivate an audience of millions who adore her and respect her, with even other V-Tubers of a legendary status holding near worship levels of respect of Kizuna A.I, such as Tokino Sora considering her one of the few idols she'd consider her "senpai". Stated to be capable of connecting with everything in the universe and beyond, having been shown to have connected with everyone on the planet and bridging the gap between human and A.I relations with just her streams and contributions alone), Weapon Mastery (Kizuna A.I has demonstrated the ability to utilize a multitude of weapons ranging from guns, blunt items, swords and countless other weapons to boot), 4th Wall Awareness, Information Analysis (V-Tubers can draw attention to their fictionality and that they are part of a narrative. Hololive runs on metafictional elements, which allow V-Tubers to know about opponents through reading a short summary of them as represented by character introduction bios), Accelerated Development (Training, Battle & Leveling - Physical Stats & Abilities; It's shown consistency that V-Tubers are capable of learning at rapid paces and drawing out inner power at faster rates than normal; An example of this is Mio, Matsuri and company were able to overpower their imposters with ease despite the same imposters giving them a good fight prior. Their growth even visualized and treated akin to RPG progression), Flight (Shown to be capable of flying vast distances, even when in the depths of space), Split Personality, Duplication (Type 1 & 2; Kizuna A.I has manifested many different personalities within her psyche, with many of her personalities manifesting into physical beings who take the form of another iteration of Kizuna A.I, such as with her psychotic self becoming her own being), Energy Manipulation (Can project energy in the form of blasts akin to iconic techniques such as Hadoken or Kamehameha. Governs over the energy emanated from emotions, alongside being able to absorb them for energy), Information Manipulation (Reality is viewed as being purely comprised of data and information from the perspective of beings inhabiting The Virtual World, meaning that manipulation of The Virtual World is also control over the fundamental information that makes up the world), Non-Physical Interaction (Can naturally interact with beings who reside in Virtualand, aka beings who lack physicality. Capable of interacting with souls, shadows and even immaterial objects such as emotions like malice), Immortality (Type 1, 3, 5, 8 & 11; Kizuna A.I doesn't age normally like humans due to her nature as an artificial existence in which doesn't experience conventional aging. Implied that she is outside the applications of "life" as an A.I, with V-Tubers also not going to The Underworld {where beings go to officially die} and instead regenerate or some other process occurs. Kizuna A.I is able to live on so long content isn't deemed irrelevant. It's shown many times that V-Tubers can reincarnate to different worlds or in different bodies whilst retaining the memories of who they were), Regeneration (High-Godly; Kizuna A.I could regenerate from being erased due to lack of "Wi-Fi", a fundamental force in which administers reality for The Virtual World and actualizes their existence. Scales to V-Tubers like Uruha Rushia and Sakura Miko, whom of which could come back after being turned into a Tetris block and reduced to nothing. Korone is capable of coming back after being immediately erased by Mio and she even claimed she could erase Subaru, a metaphysical being who is a living thought. Aqua could regenerate despite her body being gone and her soul being crushed by Kanata), Plot Manipulation, Fate Manipulation (All protagonists in Hyperdimension Neptunia have Neptune's "Protagonist Aura" but to a lesser degree than Neptune herself per her existence as the "main character".

V-Tubers can interrupt the narrative and direct it in their own way, even completely ending the story if desired; This is shown with AKZi, Mio and many others; Kizuna A.I's "Protagonist Aura" also works on those that possess Type 4 Acausality and are specifically resistance to destiny), Non-Corporeal (It’s stated that V-Tubers are virtual in nature, with those being native to The Virtual World possessing no corporeal existence), Acausality (Non-Linearity; V-Tubers experience time and causality differently from normal beings; In Hololive, both causality and time is experienced in a fashion where past, present and future doesn't occur linearly and paradoxes result in splitting of timelines, preventing casual paradoxes), Size Manipulation, Biological Manipulation (Kizuna A.I is capable is altering the size of objects, including herself to becoming the size of a kaiju. V-Tubers can revert their sizes being altered, such as Okayu and Aqua being reduced to tiny. Despite being lolified, V-Tubers such as Korone, Mio and Okayu were able to revert back to normal; It’s also been shown that V-Tubers such as Ayame can freely control her size to become small), Creation, Pocket Reality Manipulation (Has control over "White Space", which is a personal space she can customize to her heart's content. Responsible for the creation of "The Resource World", a space that contains its own Sun, Moon and planet, including other spaces that exist within the pocket realm. V-Tubers are capable of generating objects and weapons into being, akin to "Minecraft" as implied in Hololive's crossover with Azur Lane), Conceptual Manipulation, Absorption (V-Tubers are capable of absorbing concepts, as evident by V-Tubers having the ability to consume "That", the concept of "something" in Hololive. Should scale to Haachama, who was going to consume Hololive English, including Mori Calliope, the concept of death itself. Rushia was able to absorb Kanata into herself), Law Manipulation, Explosion Manipulation (V-Tubers are capable of adjusting the rules of entire "servers", which are pocket spaces and V-Tubers such as Fubuki and Subaru are capable of creating laws where if someone loses, the opponent and their friends explode instantly. Can manipulate the "Core" of worlds, which are underlying foundations to "Content", which is culture, ideas and etc), Immersion (Able to enter fictionalized worlds such as video games, blank canvases and 2-D drawings), Space-Time Manipulation (V-Tubers have the ability to control spatial dimensions, being able to switch freely between a 2nd and 3rd dimensional existence. Resource Worlds that are created have their own flows of space and time), Negation (Scales to V-Tubers capable of killing Ships completely, bypassing their reliance on humanity and regeneration, alongside being able to kill other V-Tubers who possess High-Godly regeneration), Soul Manipulation (V-Tubers are capable of swapping souls with others, as shown here and here; V-Tubers are capable of vaporizing the souls of other beings), Existence Erasure (Beings in Virtualand can remove beings from existence and content), Statistics Amplification (V-Tubers are capable of empowering CPUs, raising their power and defense), Nonexistent Physiology (Physical; Kizuna A.I at her basic level is akin to transparent nothingness, with her body being merely a "shell" in relation to her true self as purely nothing), Empathic Manipulation (Content is capable of swaying the emotions of beings, making them have love for the opponent and their content)
Resistance to Extreme Heat (Can survive in hot temperatures such as burning celestial bodies and other places like the bottom of the ocean with high pressure. Okayu and Korone can no-sell the heat of an exploded sun. V-Tubers such as Ayame can endure being burned by the sun), Magic (V-Tubers have shown to be able to resist the effects of magical spells from Shion and other mages), Reality Warping, Empathic Manipulation, Existence Erasure and Law Manipulation (Can resist the effects of "Content"), Spatial Manipulation (V-Tubers such as Fubuki, Matsuri and many others resisted Purifier's spatial altering singularity), Soul Manipulation (Can survive attacks on the soul and having their souls removed), Absolute Zero (Scales to Matsuri and many V-Tubers who can endure Fubuki's sword, which attacks with absolute zero), Death Manipulation (None of Rushia's death spells are able to work on V-Tubers. Comparable to beings who can exist in The Underworld, which is the land of the dead), Radiation Manipulation (Can survive in close proximity to a star, where radiations are extremely potent; V-Tubers are capable of traveling through Star Clusters, which are high in radiation), Negation (V-Tubers can still regenerate after being hit with one of their own attacks), Corruption, Mind Manipulation, Madness Manipulation, Information Manipulation, Conceptual Manipulation (Biological & Metaphysical - Corruptive; Those who are exposed to The Void/Shadow Realm will be corrupted in the same way Ina was, with it corrupting both the body and mind. V-Tubers such as Amelia Watson and Korone are capable of surviving in it. The act of being erased in Hololive involves the complete erasure of all aspects that define one's existence, including their mind, body, soul, the "information" that makes up reality and the concept that defines one's existence)
Destructive Ability: Varies. (Kizuna A.I's power is dependent on how many people she has connected with and the amount of support she has from both her fans and others who shower her with affection), Megaverse Level (Kizuna A.I's power is beyond that of Kado, who she surpasses off the basis that she managed to one-shot HERO, the source of the former's power, also indicating that Kizuna A.I's power is greater than that of the V-Tubers who inhabit Virtualand {whom of which are comparable to the four CPU Goddesses}, whom of which were defeated by Kado and her army even when working together. Tokino Sora has implied numerous times that Kizuna A.I is stronger than her, as she's one of the few people in The Virtual World she holds in high regards, something she only does for those on her level, as shown by her total dismal of Minato Aqua) to Metaverse Level+ (When connected with the majority of the world, Kizuna A.I was able to overpower Random Word Generation, whom of which is usually superior to Kizuna A.I and was even able to completely erase The Virtual World temporarily through removing "Wi-Fi", a fundamental force in which administers reality for The Virtual World and actualizes it's existence)
Speed: Immeasurable (Superior to Kado on all fronts, which should include speed, whom of which can keep up with the four CPU Goddesses, who themselves are superior to manifestations of Histoire across the multiverse and are on par with Kurome, who can move freely within "Multi-Dimensional Space", of which is treated as higher dimensional). Nigh-Omnipresent (It's heavily implied that Kizuna A.I is capable of manifesting anywhere and everywhere where her likeness is bared, including things such as celestial bodies that vaguely "look" like her in some way)
Lifting Ability: Immeasurable (On par with the four CPU Goddesses, who are physically comparable to Kurome, whom of which is capable of moving entire dimensions with her energy, with Share Energy being proportional to one's own statistics, meaning it scales to physical lifting strength by virtue)
Striking Ability: Varies. Megaveral (Physically one-shot HERO, who was the source of power behind Kado, who was capable of harming and trading attacks with the four CPU Goddesses. Likely above the strength of Tokino Sora and is considered among the few she genuinely considers her "senpai") to Metaversal+ (Bruised up and overpowered Random World Generator, who was able to temporarily erase The Virtual World through his destruction of "Wi-Fi", which in itself allows The Virtual World to exist in the first place and administrates it's reality into being)
Durability: Varies. Megaverse Level (Capable of taking many assaults from Hero and others who are comparable to the four CPU Goddesses. Comparable to Tokino Sora in durability) to Metaverse Level+ (Random Word Generator was able to normally overpower Kizuna A.I, yet was unable to after she had been collected with the world, implying that he's unable to defeat or harm her. Should scale to her own AP considering amplifications from recognition boost all stats, including durability)
Stamina: Limitless (As an A.I and digital being, she doesn't require the need to sleep, rest or even eat)
Range: Extended Melee Range normally, up to Planetary with Power of Creation & Content to Stellar with standard V-Tuber abilities (Can create dimensions that contain their own sun, moon and possesses a visible starry sky alongside numerous comparable spaces. Able to manipulate and alter reality up to the scale of numerous stars)
Intelligence: Supergenius (Kizuna A.I is consistently stated to be a "singularity", being an A.I. who is far beyond the intellect of humanity and has greatly surpassed all other A.I. and or technologies humanity has devised prior to her birthing within The Virtual World. Her intellect is often compared to that of informational databases of the world and search engine tools such as Siri)
Weaknesses: None Notable
Other Attributes
List of Equipment: Various items across many different videos and canonical crossover events, with the items ranging from guns, swords, wands and countless other weapons within Kizuna A.I's arsenal
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Hadoken/Kamehameha: Kizuna A.I is capable of channeling her inner energy to shoot balls of energy in a fashion that is similar to Ryu and Goku's techniques of the same name
Kaiju Form: Kizuna A.I is capable of transforming herself into that of a kaiju, becoming the size of buildings and being able to cause havoc on a city wide scale alone
Power of Creation: A power source that derives itself from The Core of worlds. It allows one to shape the world around them and even create things from nothing, including entire planets
- Content: The surrounding culture of a world, of which can control the emotions and minds of those who are around it. Content can sway those who hate people into loving the user and their culture/ideas
- Emotional Energy: Has control over the energies emanated from one's emotions, which allow one to empower themselves and also use for attacks
- Core: Foundations to worlds, giving the world ideas, culture, entertainment and acting as a blueprint
Extra Info: The events of Neptunia Virtual Stars are revealed to be canon to Kizuna A.I's world. Unlike with other V-Tubers, this is the original Kizuna A.I who simply traveled to Neptunia's world and this is supported by the mention/use of videos from her original channel
- Here is a blog that justifies the ratings of Hololive and explains why they are rated as powerful as they are
- An explanation of how V-Tubers consistently scale to one another and how it's treated in-universe
- Despite not coming from Hyperdimension Neptunia, the reason Kizuna A.I possesses the "Protagonist Aura" that is normally held by those who naturally come from the verse is because she was able to be a "protagonist" of the series, most notably being the main character of Neptunia Virtual Stars's extra scenario where she gets an entire story to herself. In order for this to be the case, this would mean that Kizuna A.I would have to be a protagonist and by extension, possess a "Protagonist Aura" just like Neptune and other CPU protagonists
To provide explanation for the 1-A rating, it stems from the inner mechanics of A.I Channel and by extension, Hololive's cosmology. It's established that "Wi-Fi" in the context of the verse isn't the same "Wi-Fi" as we know in our world but just appears to function the same. In the context of The Virtual World, it's a fundamental element of it's structure that essentially gives it form and actualizes it's existence into being. The lack of "Wi-Fi" disconnects all things within The Virtual World from existence and effectively erases it, meaning that Random Word Generator's "Wi-Fi" removal and complete shutdown of all servers in The Virtual World would be a 1-A feat on the basis that they are erasing an entire cosmology of this size
- It's indicated many times that Kizuna A.I's reality exists within Hololive and that it's apart of the same Virtual World as the one that exists in both Hololive and Nijisanji. This would mean that Random Word Generator's scope would encompass the entirety of Hololive's cosmology per the reason that Kizuna A.I's cosmology is just merely Hololive/Nijisanji's own cosmology. This is even cemented with the many canonical crossovers Kizuna A.I has had with individuals from Hololive, such as Tokino Sora and many others
