In [[Yūma's Trigger|Black Trigger]] mode Yūma gains a black jumpsuit which [[Replica]] fuses itself with.

In B-Class trigger mode, he has a uniform similar to Osamu's, except his jacket's left sleeve doesn't have a shoulder guard. His right arm also has the same design as his left, unlike Osamu's, making his jacket more symmetrical. Also, the black stripes on his jacket's sleeves are thinner and, unlike Osamu's, don't have white stripes in their middle, and the black stripes also go over his shoulders and collar. On the sides of his shoulders, he has [[Tamakoma Branch]] emblem, surrounded by the stripes. In addition, the sleeves of his jacket somewhat merge with his gloves, and he tucks his pants inside his boots, like when he was a C-Class agent. His Unit's emblem is located on his left chest.

==Personality==

==Personality==

Yūma has a laid back personality and is not very knowledgable about Japanese customs, due to being from another world (despite having a Japanese [[Yūgo Kuga|father]]), leading to some run-ins with rough people. He is logical, advising [[Osamu Mikumo|Mikumo]] to stay away from the Trion Battle Soldier rather than save the students as Mikumo could die. He seems to be aligned with [[Border]]'s cause, fighting against Neighbor forces. Despite his happy exterior, he is actually deeply depressed due to his father's sacrifice to revive him, and had no more reason to live for other than bringing him back to life.

==Background==

+

[[File:Yuma's_dying_body.PNG|thumb|250px|Yūma's dying body]]

+

When he was 6, Yūma's father [[Yūgo Kuga]] taught him "The Three Teachings".

+

+

When Yūma still lived in the Neighbor world, he and his father, Yūgo, participated in the Civil War between [[Calvaria]] and [[Spinthir]], helping Calvaria as a favor to a [[Raymond|friend]] of his father. One day, Yūgo told Yūma not to participate in the battle because earlier that day they had found the dead bodies of some of their men, and they were some of the most powerful of their side. Yūma's father suspected it was the result of the other side having a [[Trigger/Black Trigger|Black Trigger]], so he wanted to keep Yūma out of danger. Yūma, however, just pouted and didn't really think much of his father's words.

+

+

After his father had left to go fight, Yūma left Calvaria's fortress and went to the battlefield. Seeing multiple battles he could help win, he decided to make attacks behind the scenes and eliminate some of the enemy units. But before he could do that, he was approached by a mysterious enemy, and wasn't strong enough to defend himself, resulting in his death. As Yūma laid there dying, his father came to his aid, and took out his own black trigger. He then sealed the body of the dying Yūma inside the trigger, substituting it with a body made of Trion (which is the reason his hair is white); thus saving Yūma. Unfortunatly, this took all of Yūgo's power. And so he turned to dust, crumbled and died. However, this does not mean Yūma is immortal; Yūma's real body is sealed inside his ring and is slowly degrading. And once his body inside his ring is fully gone, it is most likely Yūma's Trion body will also be terminated.

==Relationships==

+

;'''[[Osamu Mikumo]]'''

+

:Yūma and Osamu share mutual respect for one another. Yūma admires Osamu for his honesty, sense of duty, and eagerness to help others at a cost to himself. Osamu looks up to Yūma for his fighting experience and strength. He wants to give Yūma reason to keep living. Yūma is considerate of Osamu's position in Border. He tries to advance Osamu within the organization's ranks and decides to take on the task of taking Osamu and Chika to A-Class.

+

+

;'''[[Chika Amatori]]'''

+

:Yūma is impressed by Chika's abundance of trion. Just like Osamu, Yūma is affectionate towards Chika and strives to make sure she is safe.

+

+

;'''[[Yūichi Jin]]'''

+

:Yūma respectfully acknowledges Jin's strength, admitting that he might lose to Jin in a fight. However, he trusts that Jin would not become his enemy. Jin looks out for Yūma, directly facing off against HQ multiple times to stand up for him. When HQ sends the Expedition Force for Yūma, Jin refers to him as his "cute junior" and proceeds to fight for him.{{ref|name=c25|c=25}}

+

+

;'''[[Yūgo Kuga]]'''

+

:Yūgo is Yūma's father. Yugo tries to keep Yūma out of danger by discouraging his participation in serious battles, but Yūma does not take him seriously. As a father, Yūgo took time to teach Yūma life lessons. He loved Yūma deeply and died to save him, passing on his side effect and black trigger. Yūma wishes to bring his father back to life. He is baffled by why Yūgo sacrificed himself for a son who got himself killed because of his own disobedience.

+

+

;'''[[Kirie Konami]]'''

+

:Kirie singled Yūma out as the strongest of the Osamu-Chika-Yūma team and agreed to help train the team only if she got Yūma. She looks down on Yūma as "midget" while demanding his respect.{{ref|name=c23|c=23}} They form a mild rivalry during training, and both see the other as a worthy opponent. Kirie seems competitively proud of her trainee, proclaiming Yūma's potential to the team when Chika was considered the best candidate first.

+

+

;[[Shun Midorikawa]]

+

:After Shun defeated Osamu in Battle, Yūma stepped in beating him after deliberately losing the first few round's completing the deal of Shun calling Osamu 'Sempai'. Later Shun starts dressing like Yūma.
