History
Asachi turns up during the raid on the Auction, holding the building's exterior entrances. Hurling spear-like quinque, he lands a hit on Naki's calf, though a second throw is knocked aside before it can wound the ghoul. He and Mura then close on the SS-rated Rabbit, Ayato Kirishima, assuming the ukaku fighter would tire quickly and falter up close. The gamble proves fatal, as both men are beheaded in an instant. Asachi is modeled on one of the twenty winners of the CCG's recruitment drive, and the operation reports tie him to the idea of protection.
