| “ | Hey, have you heard the rumor? The one about the human who won't die, no matter how many times he gets killed? They say the blood that flows through his veins is extremely poisonous to supernaturals. As soon as one touches it, their body instantly wastes away. So basically, it should work on you too... The one that controls time within the school... The Clock Keeper's Big Clock!

Hyuuga Natsuhiko is actually a mysteriously immortal human that, according to himself, won't die no matter how many times he is killed. His blood also seems to be extremely poisonous to supernaturals, to the point that, if it touches them, it actually kills them instantly (Unless they are a member of the Seven Mysteries, which in this case, it would take a while).
This nature of his explains why he was able to come back from The Place That Is Everywhere And Nowhere, despite being captured by one of the denizens, as well as surviving a blast of fire earlier. The reasons why he possesses such power and how this effects his real age and daily life is currently unknown.
Appearance
Natsuhiko is a tall boy with short, messy red and black hair styled into an undercut. He has grey eyes. He is considered quite good-looking, as noted by Yashiro Nene.
He wears the usual Kamome Academy High School boy's uniform. His uniform shirt is unbuttoned and has its sleeves rolled up to reveal a teal, long-sleeved t-shirt. He also wears a germanium necklace with a red cord, that was a present from Sakura[1], and a black sports necklace.
Personality
Natsuhiko is a seemingly shallow individual, although he is not unfriendly. His motives are rather dubious, and it appears that he works with Tsukasa and Sakura simply because he has a crush on Sakura. He was willing to trick Nene and put her in potential danger but doesn't seem to have any ill will towards her.
He is rather reckless and perhaps not too bright, as seen during his attempt to escape with Nene back to the regular world. Despite having been partially responsible for bringing Nene into the situation, he also tried to help her escape and opened each door so that she wouldn't put herself in danger. When he was unable to continue himself, he encouraged her to continue.
He is loyal, or perhaps obsessive, to a fault, since he continues to have a crush on and pursue Sakura — despite her outwardly cold demeanor — and becomes excited by her minimal attention, even if it's negative. Natsuhiko holds no grudges when treated poorly and is willing to get into trouble to save his friends. This can be seen when he risked a confrontation with Teru to get Mitsuba out of danger.

Abilities
Immortaity
As a human who is cursed to never die no matter how many times he is killed, Natsuhiko is simply put, immortal.
Cursed Blood
According to Natsuhiko, his blood is cursed so that he can easily destroy supernaturals if they come in contact with it. While stronger supernaturals and members of the Seven Mysteries such as Hanako only get burns from touching it, weaker ones, including mysteries that do not get a Yorishiro, such as Mitsuba Sousuke can easily melt to their supernatural death.
Additionally, the blood can grow and fester to the point that a small amount of blood that Natsuhiko shed managed to envelope the entire Big Clock at The Sealed Auditorium and then shatter it, which caused the time in the school to stop, and inevitably, led to the creation of the New Present.
Trivia
- His favorite snack is black soybean senbei (a type of rice cracker).[2]
- His latest concern is that Tsukasa has been annoying.[2]
- His preferred type is Sakura.[3]
- His hobbies include fishing and karaoke.[4]
- When he goes fishing, he catches mullets. He says sometimes he catches things that aren't fish, like girls.[1]
- He is especially good at singing and dancing to idol songs.[1]
- He works out.[1]
- In Episode 9, his phone is black with a red design called an onsen 温泉 (hot spring?). It was widely-used as a symbol for hot spring baths before it was slightly changed.
- He gets startled by lightning.[5]
