Overview

Servant of the Mutsuki Family and a captain of the Novus Orbis Librarium: Hibiki is Kagura's secretary and right hand, who is highly skilled in the art of silent assassination and stealth. In terms of strength; he is on par with the likes of Jin and Tager, being able to appear behind their backs undetected until he was too close; Jin even goes as far as to commend Hibiki's abilities.

Drive: Double Chase

Hibiki's drive allows him to summon clones of himself in various directions, or, place himself in the current location of a clone. The clones can be hit, destroying them instantly, but Hibiki will not receive any damage. 5D summons a clone directly in front of Hibiki towards the opponent, while 6D puts Hibiki in the location of that clone. 2D summons a clone underground that will perform a rising attack after traveling towards the opponent, and 3D will put him in that location. J.D summons a clone forward in the air (j.6D puts him in that location), while j.2D summons a clone diagonally downwards (and j.3D will put him in that location). Hibiki's clones can serve a multitude of purposes such as: in blockstrings, using them to travel the screen, in combos, and to zone out the opponent. These are just a few of the many applications of clones.

To assist in the misdirection effect, the game's camera will not readjust for Hibiki's change in position after using and of his drives until the clone has disappeared.

Overdrive: Schwarz Reis

Hibiki's Overdrive accelerates the speed of his clones, allowing access to new combo routes and enhanced zoning.
