Code (Karma) JUS

Code is the last remaining Inner of the organisation Kara and its current leader after the death of its previous commander Isshiki Ōtsutsuki. Carrying Isshiki’s legacy within him, he inherited the Ōtsutsuki Clan’s will to become a Celestial Being and continually evolve to reach godhood with the power of the White Kāma bestowed to him by his master.

At the time Kawaki was brought to Kara, Code was one of fifteen candidates selected to participate in Jigen and Amado Sanzu’s Ōtsutsuki ritual to screen for a Kāma vessel for Isshiki. Only Kawaki survived to become an actual vessel. Code, on the other hand, displayed shaking and spasms such as the unsuccessful and deceased candidates, but managed to survive upon which his branded mark became a White Kāma.

Sometime after the Ōtsutsuki ritual and already deeply loyal to Isshiki, Code was so jealous to see only Kawaki proved viable as Isshiki’s next vessel that he came to openly hate Kawaki and even made it clear that if Kawaki weren’t the vessel, Code would kill him with his own hands. Meanwhile, with the astounding reaction that took place in Code’s body borne of the Kāma implant and mutation, Code’s combat abilities came to exceed Jigen’s. While anyone in Kara who became stronger than Jigen through modifications would normally be disposed of to avoid undermining his position of leader, Code was exempted due to his unwavering loyalty, leading Amado to instead install limiters in Code’s body that only the scientist could deactivate.
