Quote Corner Good evening, puppy. I feel like I'm experiencing déjà vu. The last time I challenged the Eastern Union and lost, were you my opponent? Master told me to buy time, but since I'm here, let's have some fun. Throw every cheat you've got at me, and embarrass yourself to your heart's content. Quote Corner2
— Jibril to Izuna, prelude to the battle in Killing Giant


Jibril (ジブリール, Jiburīru) is the youngest and strongest of the Flügel race. Her love towards knowledge started even before the declaration of the Ten Covenants. She opposes the book sharing law created by the Council of Eighteen Wings and left Avant Heim, her homeland, to win the National Library of Elkia from the previous king in a game. When Sora heard what happened to the library, he challenged Jibril in order to gain knowledge of the other kingdoms. When she lost the game, she became Sora and Shiro's servant since she had bet everything she owned, including herself, claiming that knowledge was worth her own life. However, she was allowed to keep the library and maintain it although she must now share it with the rest of Immanity. Thus, Jibril took the siblings as her masters and over time, she began to understand and accept Sora's belief in the potential of humanity. Unlike Steph, Jibril is happy to become the siblings' underling, and is shown to have grown feelings toward Sora.

According to Azril, Jibril was given the gift of imperfection by Artosh and therefore named the "Exceptional Unit". This gift is what Artosh believed would allow Jibril to find the answer to the Flügels' continued existence should he disappear (which was the case).

Appearance

She has long purple-pink hair that reaches down to her knees and two white wings protruding near her hips. Her pupils are purple surrounded by a gold iris but a cross shape appears in her pupils when she is focusing on a task (such as performing a spell). Her ears are wing-shaped and she also has a halo over her head. She usually has her midriff exposed and wears a long skirt. She has also a slim and well-endowed body. She has the physique of that of a 17 to 18-year-old but in actuality is much older. After unleashing her ultimate attack, her appearance reverts to that of a young girl due to the magic recoil. Her three sizes are from above, 88, 55, 85.

Personality

She seems to be soft-spoken and polite, but she can also be incredibly condescending to other races of the Ixseed below her own, as shown when she indirectly insults Stephanie Dola and when she refuses to apologize to Fiel Nirvalen for wreaking havoc, also when told she had to lick Fiel's feet she refused saying she would not lick a 'mere' Elf's foot. She has a great love for knowledge and gets easily excited at the prospect of gaining new knowledge, such as when she drooled over Sora's tablet after seeing the vast information it contained. Despite her initial arrogance, she has a high sense of honor while playing games, as she doesn't like cheating, or being cheated. She tends to remember the "good old days" before the oaths were established and when everything could be solved by killing, in a rather disturbing way, somewhat showing her sadistic personality. 

She is also perceptive, being able to uncover the weakness complex formula of Elf while none of her brethren can do so, and also figure out Steph's feelings for Sora

Unlike Steph, Jibril fully embraces her servitude to Sora and Shiro, going so far as to address them both as "Master". Throughout the anime and light novel, Jibril's feelings for Sora seem to grow, despite stating she's not supposed to have the feeling called love. Jibril first stated her feelings in Episode 10 wondering even though it's supposed to be humiliating that she licked Fiel's foot, if she takes it as a order from the master she gets excited, questioning whether it could be love, before Sora interrupted her. Despite this, in Light Novel Volume 4 Jibril has expressed a willingness to merge a part of Sora's soul with her own to attempt to create a hybrid, essentially showing a willingness to bear his child. Later on, in Light Novel Volume 5, she confesses to Sora that she can finally understand love (or her perspective of it) and has fallen in love with him.

She also proved to have a masochistic side, because right after licking Fiel's feet she said it was the biggest humiliation of her life, but soon after she felt excited when considering it as an order from Sora. In Volume 5, she requested Sora to dismiss her as a useless being, and felt totally ecstatic about it.

It is also revealed Jibril, like the rest of the Flügel race, has a bloodthirsty personality. When not in battle, occasionally being bored and in a battle to the point where they collected severed heads as trophies.

History

Jibril is the last and most powerful Flügel created by the Old Deus Artosh and served under him until his demise. As the "Exceptional Unit" created to answer the paradox of the strong and the weak, she was blessed with the gift of "imperfection" and thus was constantly challenging the norm. Due to her habit of taking risky moves and challenging opponents much stronger than herself, she would often require the Rite of Restoration in order to regain her power. According to Azril, she had to do so 116 times out of 245 campaigns she participated in.

During the Great War, she was caught in the Ja La Anse rite cast by Think Nirvalen and knocked out of the sky when she fly past the Elven capital Mellyrn. She obliterated the capital with her Heavenly Smite, which resulted in her reverting to child state for 5 years. After the destruction, Jibril stole all the books from the Elven Library despite the Elves' best attempts to prevent this. Due to the loss of so many books, the Elves suffered a heavy blow in magic development which, according to Fiel, took more than 800 years to recover.

Sometime during the Great War, while embarking on one of her solo campaigns, she came across an Ex-Machina named Schwi. Ex-Machina heads were extremely rare prizes amongst the Flügel, because at the time there was an unspoken rule to never provoke the Ex-Machina lest one seeks ruin. However, Jibril was confident she could take down Schwi, so she had no choice but to retaliate. Despite her best efforts, Schwi was ultimately defeated and killed by Jibril. However, Jibril did not escape unscathed, as she had to use Heaven's Strike against Schwi and lost all of her magic power.

After Artosh was defeated and the war concluded, Jibril lived in the Flügel city Avant Heim for some time. However with the passage of the Book-Sharing Law, she decided to leave as she did not agree with it and did not want her books passed along freely. Sometime after she challenged the Immanity King for the rights to his library, which she easily won. Jibril then stayed at her library until she was challenged by Sora and Shiro, where she lost in a game of Materialization Shiritori. In accordance with the bets for the game, she swore her very being to Sora and Shiro. Although not requested by Sora and Shiro, Jibril would go on to accept the siblings as her new masters, seemingly having replaced Artosh.

Jibril would then follow the siblings on their quest to reach Tet, the One True God. This included helping them in their quest to acquire the Werebeast nation, Dhampir and Siren Nation, and even a trip to her homeland, Avant Heim. Along the way, she has been documenting their actions in her own book.

Abilities

Strengths

As the final unit and most powerful individual of the Flügel race, her massive strength was hinted at by Azril who stated that, were she to assist Sora and Shiro in playing a game of tag against 100 other Flügel, the match wouldn't be considered a competition at all. It is unknown what her full capabilities are (disregarding Heavenly Smite). However, parting a pathway through the sea to Oceando is apparently a representation of 5% of her full strength. She is also seen being in close proximity to a blast from a hydrogen bomb, and emerging unaffected. Her speed is also incredible, capable of moving, maneuvering, and reacting over thousands of times faster than sound with ease. All of her senses are unrivaled, for example she was capable of perfectly seeing and locking on the Elves base, even though she was miles above in the sky, it was night and there was smoke everywhere.

As a member of the Flügel race she is absolutely immortal, possessing an infinite life span: immune to all diseases, illnesses, disorders, toxins, impurities, and physical and/or mental interference; she is entirely self-sustained; will never age (always remain in her physical and mental prime) and is immune to aging abilities; she is virtually invulnerable to all harm as shown when she was shot by the Elves and she only fell out of her flight course, but was otherwise physically unharmed, and even if she is injured she can regenerate from any injury. As the most powerful Flügel her immortality, invulnerability and regenerative capabilities are vastly superior to any of her race.

As a Flügel she possess a limitless level of intellectual (memory, calculation, learning, creativity, IQ, etc.) and cognitive (observing, deduction, tactical analysis, multitasking, combat, movement, etc.) proficiency that is of the highest level in existence, an extremely high IQ and intellectual capacity. This is shown in the ability of the Flügel to start “stealing” all knowledge after the ten pledges are established as an alternative to their practice of taking heads, since absorbing the knowledge of all others is the same as taking their head. Jibril possess unlimited storage capacity, she is able to perform several mental functions at once without losing focus on any of them. Her mind allows her to instantly recall specific information with incredible speed and perfect accuracy. She is able to store everything that she experiences and retrieve it immediately without the typical human pause for thought. The speed of her thoughts augments her analytical ability so that she is able to make snap decisions about her surroundings and create complex scenarios at high speed. She is able to track the probability of an event by piecing together stored data, and is able to perform multiple tasks at once by allocating a portion of her brain to each task. She can use her mind to replay an event that occurred during the war she has seen, play a game, and focus on battling an opponent simultaneously without any one task distracting her from another. She was told Sora that she can speak, read, writes, understand, and communicate in any and all forms of languages. The knowledge she has gathered during her millennia of existence are incredibly vast. However, it is not perfect or infallible, as she lost to Sora and Shiro. She's also a very competent mage, capable of using spells to teleport herself, Sora, Shiro and Steph to any place she can see or that she's been to previously. She's also capable of phasing through walls at will.

It is said that Jibril has once used a spell called "Heavenly Smite” which had completely annihilated the Elven capital Mellyrn. As a drawback, she could not use any magic for 5 years. In Light Novel Volume 5, she uses the power again, but does not suffer from any recoil as she was in an illusionary world where her magic power was unlimited.

As the "final unit" of the Flügel, Jibril's is capable of killing a Gigant, a Dragonia, and a Phantasma on separate solo campaigns. However, her failed attempts to do so were twenty-nine times more (simply put: out of 90 attempts, 3 were successful).

Weaknesses

Due to being a Flügel, Jibril is very dismissive of other races below her own and her confidence in her own knowledge. This, in turn, causes her to overlook the potential threat posed by the said races. This is no more evident than in her game with the siblings, that even with the knowledge from her examination of Sora (that the siblings weren't from Disboard), she still regarded Sora and Shiro with barely concealed scorn, but was intrigued by the discovery.

Sora mentioned that Jibril lost in her game of Materialization Shiritori because of her arrogance. For example, the game could have ended in Jibril's favor in the first move where Sora and Shiro called upon a Hydrogen Bomb. Instead, Jibril shielded them from the blast because, as Sora predicted, it would have been boring for her.

Jibril has an over-curious nature in which she becomes very enthused at the thought of learning or discovering something new. As such, she can be bribed in exchange for knowledge she doesn't know (although finding something she doesn't know is challenging as she has been learning for thousands of years).

Whenever Jibril uses Heavenly Smite, her body regresses to that of a young girl.

As seen during Materialization Shiritori Jibril is incapable of surviving a hypernova, an explosion that has a temperature of over 50 billion degrees celsius.

Quotes

Oh yes...where are my manners, my name is Jibril. Pleased to make your acquaintance. But I'm afraid it's time for us to say goodbye.
—Schwi and Jibril about to fight in No Game No Life: Zero
I apologize for calling you scrap, it was shamefully crass of me but, I have deemed your presence a threat that needs to be eliminated. You are an enemy worthy of the full extent of my power.
You want my library. Does that mean you want to challenge me to a game, human?
Before the introduction of the ten pledges, the Flugel collected severed heads. However, now that murder is forbidden we value knowledge above anything else. It's no exaggeration to say that books containing that knowledge and the place where they are held, are as valuable as one's life. Since you're telling me to bet my life, what are you offering to bet in exchange?
I apologize. I hadn't considered that you Imanity would consider yourselves anything but weak.
People from another world- no, the Imanity...they are a terrifying race.
—Jibril losing to Sora and Shiro in Episode 6
Oh~ I remember the Ancient War! The Dragonia, Gigant, and Old Deus storming around the battlefield. Fifty Flugel banding together and barely managing to kill a single dragon or 200 of us taking on a god and losing!~ What wonderful memories!~
—Jibril reminiscing about the Great War in Episode 7


Trivia

  • The author stated that Jibril is the Arabic reading of Gabriel, and that the name is not from the hentai Djibril – The Devil Angel.[1]
  • She is the first Flügel to serve an Immanity.
  • According to Azril, Jibril's kill count of higher ranking Ixseed during her campaigns are as per follows:
  • Whether Jibril is the strongest unit among Flügels does not seem to be very consistent in the novels. Volume 5 seems to imply so, but the gaiden story "High Card All Raise" clearly states that Azril was multiple times stronger in terms of raw power during their duel. Nevertheless, it could be ascertained that Jibril is much stronger than average Flügels.
  • Against Schwi, Jibril moved a distance of at least 100 meters in 0.000046 seconds. Jibril moved at 2,173,913 meters per second, roughly equal 6388 mach (that's over 6000x times faster than sound).
