Tsugumi Umatachi (馬立 つぐみ Umatachi Tsugumi) is a grumpy eggplant-jockey that nobody takes seriously.
Background Information[]
Name[]
Tsugumi is the Japanese word for thrush. Umatachi means "getting on a horse".
Design[]
Tsugumi has blonde short hair and yellow eyes. They wears a strange jockey hat with goggles on it. They has black feathered wings on their back.
The eggplant that Tsugumi rides on is part of an Obon tradition, in which one decorates eggplants and cucumbers so as to resemble cows and horses. The makeshift steeds are meant to symbolize the spirits of one's ancestors riding into the afterlife.
Tsugumi's Appearances[]
- Reactivate majestical imperial
- Tsugumi was hired to herd the spirits by Fujiwara no Iyozane, in order to use them to resurrect Taira no Masakado. On the way to the Gloomy Straits, they run into the heroes who proceed to make fun of their appearance. Offended, they attack the heroes, but they are defeated. While Yabusame and Tsubakura are flying across the river, they’re ambushed by Tsugumi, who orders them to go home since they’re interrupting their job to collect the spirits. Yabusame is hungry and wants to eat the big eggplant Tsugumi is riding. In order to protect their vehicle, Tsugumi attacks them, but is defeated. Like in the previous scenario, Tsugumi asks the heroes to go home, since their presence disrupts the spirits. Sukune asks if they are the mastermind, but Yaorochi notices that Tsugumi is just a mook. Offended and wanting to finish their job already, Tsugumi attacks them, but is defeated. Tsugumi encounters Kuroji and Saragimaru, who proceed to make fun of the eggplant they are riding. Kuroji comments that such a big eggplant would be very valuable and proceeds to fight Tsugumi in order to get it. After the fight, Kuroji loses interest and flies away.
- Brilliant Pagoda or Haze Castle Tsugumi becomes a playable character in Brilliant Pagoda or Haze Castle and teams up with Fujiwara no Iyozane and Taira no Fumikado. Having been promised a reward by a desperate Iyozane (who is starting to regret allying with Fumikado), Tsugumi tags along with their group. They may also appear as a possible stage 2 boss on the neutral route.
Additional Information[]
- A lot of her attributes including their grumpy attitude, riding skill, rotational attacks and fast movement make Tsugumi a fairly clear parallel to Johnny Joestar of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. They even wears similar clothes and star motifs.
