Platinum Cavalier (プラチナム・キャバリアー, Purachinamu Kyabariā) otherwise known by his real name, Tomochika Kyoubu (京武 智周, Tomochika Kyōbu) is a member of the White Legion, Oscillatory Universe, as well as the first of the Seven Dwarfs.

Background[]

Platinum Cavalier, a member of Oscillatory Universe, is the first seat of the Seven Dwarves. As such, he is a close associate of the White King, White Cosmos, and is deeply knowledgeable in the schemes of the Acceleration Research Society.

Sometime during his time as a Burst Linker, Cavalier tamed a Pegasus Enemy using the Enhanced Armament Mystical Reins. The Pegasus, which he had named Arion, now serves as his main form of transportation.[1]

At some point, he became the student council president of his school, the Shirakaba-no-Mori Academy on Cosmos's orders along with Glacier Behemoth as his vice president.

Personality[]

Platinum Cavalier usually speaks in a calm, formal manner with a rather lazy tone. He has a tendency to stop for a few seconds before finishing his words with a slow force. Like White Cosmos, he emits very little hostility.[2]to the point, where even Haruyuki found it odd how he was emitting no pressure even compared to the other Dwarves.

As explained by Snow Fairy, everything Cavalier does is for the sake of Cosmos. He fulfills her orders without hesitation and has an abnormally high loyalty for her. It's because of this loyalty that he could sometimes act against her will, if it was for her sake, such as when he had tried to capture and make Silver Crow retire from the Accelerated World because he believed he was not trustworthy and could be more harmful to his King, even though she had accepted Crow into Oscillatory Universe.


He is a very calm individual who never seems to express any sort of emotion, whether it be his enemies or allies. That said once, Crow had cut off his arm, in their battle, and saw the emptiness that laid within it, he seemed to express extreme anger, and his eyes flashed red. After that fight, Cavalier returned to the real world with unfriendly attitude, ignoreed Haruyuki as well as all of the other Oscillatory Universe members' concern, and immediately left their meeting. Haruyuki speculated that with his desire to simply follow Cosmos and his intense desire to hide his Duel Avatar's secret, that he may be the original Duel Avatar that founded Argon's Array Mental-Scar Shell Theory,

Plot Outline[]

White Legion Arc[]

Volume 22: The Sun God of Absolute Flame[]

While the Kings were trapped within Black Vise’s “Icosahedral Insulation” Incarnate ability, Platinum Cavalier appeared in the sky above on his Pegasus. After a brief confrontation with Nega Nebulus’ Silver Crow and Sky Raker, Cavalier used the Luminary’s scepter to control the already tamed Sun God Inti, dropping him on top of the trapped Kings, bringing them into Infinite EK.

Volume 24: The Sword Sage of the Blue Flower[]

Twenty minutes after the Sun God Inti was defeated by Silver Crow using the Omega Style, the Apocalypse God Tezcatlipoca was summoned through its death. The moment Tezcatlipoca appeared, however, Platinum Cavalier flew in on his Pegasus, carrying White Cosmos with him, who then tamed the Apocalypse God using the Luminary’s crown.

Volume 25: The God of Demise[]

After Silver Crow was taken captive by Cosmos during the fight with Tezcatlipoca, Platinum Cavalier stood guard next to Cosmos while she talked with Crow, expressing hostility towards him. Soon after, however, he left to tend to his Pegasus.

Avatar[]

Platinum Cavalier[]

Platinum Cavalier’s duel avatar is described as having armor more silver than that of even Silver Crow and a figure more knightly than that of even Blue Knight. He wears a helmet with long decorative horns and armor with a curvy design. His visible equipment consists of a large shield[3]. Unlike every other avatar that has a real body inside the armor, Cavalier's avatar is empty inside.

Enhanced Armaments[]

  • Unnamed sword- This Enhanced Armament is a sword that is sheathed on his hip when not used.
  • Mystical Reins – This Enhanced Armament allows him to tame an Enemy of his choice, under the condition he can defeat it in a one on one scenario, in this case, a pure white Pegasus he nicknamed Arion.

Abilities[]

  • Ignorable Zone -A special attack that covers the area near Cavalier with a thin, invisible barrier that allows him to block off perceptions from many sources, such as Enemies and other Burst Linker detection abilities, It lasts 30 minutes.
  • 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐩𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠- Cavalier has the ability to copy and use the Incarnations of other Burst Linkers, as showed when he had copied Crow's Laser Lance and used it against him during their fight. Though he notes, he cannot copy advanced Incarnate techniques and simple ones like the Laser series is his limit.

Techniques[]

  • Femto StylePlatinum Cavalier's style of swordsmanship. Noted to be one of the most famed and strongest styles in the Accelerated World along with Graphite Edge's Ain Style and Blue Knight's Infinite Style. The principle of the sword technique is to quickly extend his sword, as it grows thinner to the level of a thin line, at almost an invisible speed to successfully cut its target. It is considered a heretical sword style like Omega Style.

  • 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞-A first-quadrant firing range expansion-type Incarnate skill. Like Laser Sword, but it extends much farther. Originally an Incarnate that belongs to Silver Crow but Cavalier was able to copy this Incarnate and master it within 3 days after acquiring it.

Trivia[]

  • The root of Platinum Cavalier’s name is “cavalier”, the origins of which lay in the French word “chevalier”, meaning a “horse mounted-soldier”. In contrast, the origins of the word “knight” lay in the Old English word “cniht”, meaning “servant”. As such, Platinum Cavalier, not Blue Knight, is the paragon of what we think of as a “knight”.
  • The namesake of Cavalier’s pegasus “Arion” lies in the legendary horse of the same name, who was the fastest horse in Greek mythology
  • He has a interesting contrast with Haruyuki Arita. Haruyuki is Silver, Tomochika is Platinum. Haruyuki is chubby and small, while he is tall and good-looking. Haru considers Silver Crow to be weak looking while Tomochika's avatar Cavalier has been shown to be very stunning on sight. Both carry a determined loyalty towards to their Legion Masters, though Tomochika is much more blindly loyal and shows no real interest in the other members aside from Cosmos, while Haruyuki cares for everyone in Nega Nebulus even if Kuroyukihime is the most important to him. Haruyuki ran for the Student Council for the sake of his friends and the school, while Tomochika became the Student Council President in his school due to Cosmos ordering him to.
