abstract
| - Phantom is an unknown entity that gave Kotori Itsuka, Miku Izayoi, and Origami Tobiichi their Spirit powers and also one of the main antagonist in Date A Live franchise. This was done by offering them a gem that dissolved into their hands infusing them with the power of a Spirit. It's unknown whether only some or all Spirits were humans given powers or if some always were spirits. Whenever meeting someone Phantom always hides its identity by turning its appearance and voice into a 'mosaic' so while people know it's there and can 'hear' its voice in their minds, nobody can discern or remember what Phantom looked or sounded like even on camera. How or why the gems gives certain powers or influences the receiver is unknown so only theories exist on why Kotori experiences increasingly destructive impulses when she uses her powers, extreme attacking and healing, versus what Miku, who doesn't have destructive impulses when using her powers with of control with minimal offense and defense, experiences. This entity is also the one who told Kurumi Tokisaki about where the second spirit may be held in along with the information that Shidou holds the powers equivalent to three Spirits within him. Although Phantom was in the area when Origami 's parents were killed, its more likely the killer was another Spirit (possible another girl who got powers like Kotori but gave in to the destructive impulses) as Origami was able to clearly see her (albeit at a distance.) Since Phantom uses a 'mosaic' to hide its (unknown if he or she so using neutral it for gender) identity with everyone it meets and even buried Shidou's and Kotori's memories of it there is no way Origami would have been able to have clearly seen Phantom, especially as the Spirit saw her before leaving.
