Clause (クラウゼ Kurauze) is a delusional, yet powerful person who nobody likes due to been considered a nuisance to meat.
Their full name is Wilhelm von Clausewitz Halcyon HISUIMARU (ヴィルヘルム・フォン・クラウゼヴィッツ・ハルシオン・翡翠丸 Viruherumu fon Kurauzevittsu Harushion Hisuimaru).
Personality[]
Clause is known for being arrogant and impulsive. They are clearly delusional, but their immense power is fueled by it. Everyone treats them as an annoyance. For example, Yabusame Houren is not pleased to see them, and even Tsurubami Senri (disguised as Tsubakura Enraku) instantly dislikes them.
Their dialogue consists of incredibly wordy speeches and a generous use of metaphors and quotation marks on some key words. Words used in quotations can have ambiguous meanings, making it really problematic for everyone to fully understand them. Most of their pseudo-philosophical ramblings are illogical and vain. Even if one tries to insult Clause, they will take it as a compliment, insist that they are superior to others, and refuse to listen to the advice of others. Clause even acknowledges that conversing with them is difficult. Tsurubami's good ending in Evanescent Existence is the only time Clause speaks normally.
Abilities[]
Manipulate gravity[]
Clause can control gravity and manipulate it at will. However, because they only acquired this ability upon arriving to Mugenri, they're not very good at it. They can create black holes that can focus, grow, and decrease the gravity around an entire field.
Background Information[]
Name[]
Their real name is unknown, but they go by the bizarre fake name Wilhelm von Clausewitz Halcyon HISUIMARU (ヴィルヘルム・フォン・クラウゼヴィッツ・ハルシオン・翡翠丸); Clause (クラウゼ Kurauze) is a short-form used by Yabusame Houren. Nevertheless, Wilhelm von Clausewitz is all German, where the Wilhelm is a ancestor of English William and von means "of" or "from". Halcyon is a type of bird, and it can be used as an actual name, although it may have Greek origins.
In HISUIMARU (翡翠丸, official romaji), the first two kanji literally mean "jade" (翡翠 hisui), meaning the colour green or a type of gem. It can also mean "Kingfisher", another type of bird (bizarrely, even the kanji as signal characters can also mean "kingfisher", as well as "jade" and "green" respectively). The kanji 丸 means "full" or "round", or even "-ship" if treated as a suffix. The middle dots (・) in her name are used in foreign names to show where the next word begins.
Design[]
Clause has long purple hair and purple eyes. They wear brown baggy pants and a purple trench coat with a blue capelet. Their shirt is purple with a white necktie and has bandages on their ankles.
Appearances[]
Evanescent Existence[]
Like everyone else, Clause is spirited away to Mugenri and is the first to find a way to escape, arriving to the "sun that casts a shadow", which is a portal to the Senri Shrine. Clause believes the black sun to be a star and that they'll gain power for it. They also gain the power to control gravity upon arriving.

The preist Tsurubami Senri disguised as Tsubakura Enraku spirited everyone away for a test. Disappointed with most of the weak opponents, they go to a portal which returns to their shrine, which appears to everyone else as a "sun that casts a shadow". However, much to their annoyance, Clause has reached it first. Clause wants to tests their newfound powers in a danmaku battle and to "break the curse of the star". The fake Tsubakura becomes uneasy with Clause's strange way of talking and metaphors, so they fight and Clause is defeated.
After that, the fake Tsubakura reveals that they were Tsurubami in disguise and wants to test the heroines. Clause does not listen at all and starts praising themself and claiming that they knew all along that they weren't fighting with the real Tsubakura, while a clearly annoyed Tsurubami ignores them.
- Main article: Evanescent Existence/Story/Yabusame's Scenario
After being defeated by Tsubakura, they run into Yabusame. They ask for Tsubakura's location, but Clause starts rambling about how Tsubakura defeated them, but they insist that they weren't really trying with their full power. Annoyed with Clause's strange words and metaphors, Yabusame settles it in a danmaku battle and Clause is defeated again.
