Seira Orgel (星来・オルジェル, Seira Orujeru) is a fictional character from the media franchise Blood Tune. She is a magical girl who fits the moe archetype and Takumi Nishijou’s favourite comforting delusion. In Blood Tune, she has a younger sister named Erin-fray Orgel, a fellow magical girl, and a romantic rival, Sedna Février, who is a bounty hunter.
When posing as an ordinary high school student, she is called Seira Amanogawa (天之河 星来, Amanogawa Seira). She is also the Princess of ☆, her home planet.
Appearance[]
Seira has long, bright pink hair and big, lilac eyes, and a single earring in her left ear. She is large-chested and small waisted with slim, powerful limbs.
She wears futuristically styled high-heeled combat boots, and thigh-length leggings. She wears a bikini bottom, over which she wears a dress shirt-like jacket with the bust area cut out and tight, blue spandex over her chest. The outfit is completed with her short, red tie, long fingerless gloves that reach up to her mid upper-arm, and an oversized hat, plus her giant spiked magic stick “Samurai☆Condenser” (サムライ☆コンデンサ, Samurai☆Kondensa).
In Episode 13 of Blood Tune THE ANIMATION, she wears her “Post-Awakening“-outfit. This costume has a midnight blue-gold color scheme along with a red bow with long ribbons instead of a simple tie. In this outfit, the front part of her panties are completely visible instead of semi-obscured. Additionally, several brown eye-like shapes whose irises always face the camera adorn her new outfit.
Personality[]
Seira’s personality is seemingly that of the stereotypical moe anime character with a cute voice. She usually appears in his delusions whenever he is stressed or indecisive. Acting as the voice for the weakness in his heart, she always advises him to take the cowardly or self-serving option when faced with danger. She is mostly a support for Takumi and is his favourite anime girl.

Plot[]
When Takumi is on his way to save Rimi and stop Noah II, he encounters a Seira figure in the train tunnel. Suddenly, a hundred Seiras appear around him and start attacking him. He slays many of them with his DI-sword, but they succeed in crushing his left hand from the elbow down and dislocating his right shoulder. In the end, when they have neared killed Takumi, he realises that Seira is nothing more than a fictitious being, and all of them disappear.
Merchandise[]
A 1/8 figure of Seira was released by Orchid Seed in 2010. Just like the post-awakening figure that Takumi Nishijou mentioned in the visual novel and the anime, the figure of Seira has cast-offable clothing.
There is also a light novel adaptation of Blood Tune that features Seira as the heroine, called Blood Tune The NOVELIZATION.

Trivia[]
- Seira likes standing soba noodle restaurants[1], injections (medicine)[1] and Ovando (a pro baseball player)[1], but dislikes well-mannered people[1] and football[1].
- Seira's birthstone is the emerald.[1]
- During her spare time, Seira likes to practice baseball[1].
- Seira has a giant spiked magic stick called “Samurai☆Condenser” (サムライ☆コンデンサ, Samurai☆Kondensa), similar to her sister Erin’s magic stick “Ochimusha☆Compiler”.
- Seira's post-awakening costume contains multiple brown "eyes", alluding to the eyes of Whose eyes are those eyes?.
- Seira’s favourite phrase, “boke nasu” (ぼけなす), literally means “faded eggplant”, a popular insult in Japanese slang meaning “half-wit”, “dunce”, “idiot”, “fool”, “stupid”, “moron”, etc. Like many Japanese puns, “boke nasu” relies on a double meaning, specifically how “boke” can refer to a faded color, but can also refer to the type of joke where you say something absurd to someone else to try and get a funny reaction out of them (e.g. calling them a faded eggplant), from the manzai tradition of Japanese comedy duos, in which the funny man who acts stupid is called the “boke”, and their partner, the more intelligent and serious “tsukkomi” (突っ込み, tsukkomi), is always correcting the errors of the stupid “boke”, often by hitting them on the head with a fan (similarly to how Seira hits her opponents violently with her magic stick). There is another layer of irony to this pun too, because typically the “boke” is the person who says stupid/absurd things, but when you say “boke nasu”, you are the one saying the stupid/absurd thing (calling them “nasu”, an eggplant) while also accusing the other person of being the “boke”, which is totally backwards. This is a more creative way of insulting someone’s intelligence than the typical “baka” (馬鹿) which just literally means “fool”, “idiot”, etc. and is the most common insult in Japanese.
Etymology[]
- The name Seira means “star, spot, dot, mark” (星, sei) and “come, due, next, cause, become” (来, ra), literally “came from a star”.[2]
- Seira's real surname Amanogawa means “heavens, sky, imperial” (天, ama), “of, this” (之, no) and “river” (河, gawa), literally the “River of Heaven”.[3] In Japanese folklore, the “River of Heaven” (天の河, Amanogawa) refers to the band of light that the Milky Way galaxy forms in the night sky;[4] this “River of Heaven” is said in the legend of Tanabata to separate the lovers Orihime (representing Vega) and Hikoboshi (representing Altair).[5]
