Daybit Sem Void (デイビット・ゼム・ヴォイド, Deibitto Zemu Voido?) is one of the seven Crypters, Masters attempting to supplant the Proper Human History with that of the Lostbelt in Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt. He is the Master of Grand Assassin Tezcatlipoca. He was formerly one of the forty eight Chaldea Master Candidates and a member of the A Team.
Profile[]
Background[]
Daybit is from Nevada in the United States of America.[2] He enrolled in the Clock Tower's Department of Lore, and while it was publicly rumored that he was expelled from the Department, he actually left voluntarily to join the Chaldea Security Organization [1], becoming one of the forty-eight Chaldea Master Candidates and a member of Team A. Rather than being invited by Marisbury Animusphere, he arrived of his own initiative upon hearing of Marisbury’s research and interest in his background.[3] Daybit planned to summon a Berserker-class Servant.[4]
Daybit is on record as having belonged to the Department of Lore for 8 years, but there exist no records of him from before then, not even from the Department of General Fundamentals, which all students have to register for when they enroll at the Clock Tower. All that is on record is that he was a genius who suddenly appeared at the Clock Tower and joined Lore at the age of 10. However, a document in the Department of Lore kept sealed by Policies titled “5 Minutes” hinted at his true origins. On one day in July 2004, all magecraft currently active in London and the surrounding academies associated with the Clock Tower was suddenly frozen. As magi could not determine the origin of the incident, things went back to normal quickly and the incident was swept under the rug, with nobody being charged with anything for the affair. The Department of Lore’s records, however, show that an Angelic Artifact being studied by an instructor in the Department was exposed for only 0.2 seconds at the time, which is presumed to be the cause of the incident. The name of this instructor, who vanished, was completely erased not just from the record but from everyone’s minds as well, though it is possible that Brishisan recalls it. The only survivor of the experiment was his 10-year-old son, on whom no further records exist. Shortly afterwards, a prodigy was recruited into Lore on the direct recommendation of Brishisan. This prodigy Daybit, whose actual age was unknown despite his physical body appearing to be 10, and is presumed to be the same individual as the vanished instructor’s son.[1]
When the Angelic Artifact exploded with light, Daybit saw his father vanish and knew he was dead, but his own shadow was also burned into the ground like his father’s, meaning he too had vanished. He compares what happened to him to how a type of teleporter in science fiction disassembles and reassembles a person on an atomic level — the process in fact kills the person it teleports and creates an exact copy of them. Daybit’s body was completely identical on a physical level to what it was before, and his personality and memories were unaltered, but he knew something about him changed. From that point on, he did not feel like he was a part of the World and felt alien from his fellow humans. The Department of Lore regarded him as “not of Earth”, and he no longer had a human perspective, but he still considered his body to be human, even if his mind was not. Though he no longer viewed himself as completely human after his reconstruction by the Angelic Artifact, his DNA was entirely human, and he concluded that he should obey Human Order.[3]
His memory has been altered by his contact with the Angelic Artifact so that it can only record a total of 5 minutes per day. He did not notice this until years after the incident, as it had no effect on his daily life. There is a theory that everything a person would need to remember in a single day could fit into 5 minutes, which he put into practice. His birth name is unknown, as Daybit Sem Void is a name given to him after the incident involving the Angelic Artifact. “Daybit” is derived from him only remembering “a bit of each day”, and “Sem Void” is derived from the “artifact of emptiness passed down among the Semites”.[3]
Daybit lent himself to Chaldea upon learning that Marisbury needed a way of observing the universe in a way that human technology was incapable of doing, though Marisbury told him he did not need him to view anything outside the 13.8 billion light years of the observable universe. When Daybit asked how Marisbury would secure the Human Order, the latter provided him information on his objectives which he requested the former keep secret from his teammates. He was to hide from the Counter Force, the Mage’s Association, and the other staff of Chaldea, to be a concealer, a Crypter. It was upon learning this that he concluded he needed to destroy Chaldea, even if that meant destroying the planet as well.[3]
In 2012,[5] Daybit confronted Marisbury in his office, threatening him to shut down CHALDEAS. As the choice was between CHALDEAS or his life, Marisbury pulled out a gun of his own and shot himself rather than let CHALDEAS go.[6]
Appearance[]
Daybit is a young man with blonde hair and light purple eyes. He wears black cargo pants with a belt, a black dress shirt and tie with a light striped vest over them, and a black leather longcoat and laced boots. After he has the Alien God's heart transplanted into him, his body becomes highly muscular, and the heart appears externally on his upper chest at the center of a gray skin growth.
Personality[]
Daybit is said to be an extraordinary person, that's why he will not try to understand anyone, nor will he ever be understood. The reason why the Servant assigned to him was Berserker was because there were no expectations of communication from the very beginning.[4] Daybit seems to be a bloodthirsty individual to an unknown extend, as he agreed with Beryl about the delights of murder. According to Beryl, Daybit is someone who would fancy the idea of replacing human history with that of a Lostbelt.
According to his father, what defines humanity is that humans instinctively try to do good, much as bugs instinctively seek out sources of light, and during his 8 years at Lore, Daybit followed his father’s advice. He views things from a “cosmic perspective” rather than a human one. As a Crypter, he is neither a servant of the Alien World nor is he fighting for the sake of Human Order, he is simply a “being that does good”, even if that is nothing more than a cold-blooded instinct.[3]
As he claimed, Daybit is not a person who would rely on others. This being the reason he sought to revive the ORT to stop CHALDEAS, even if that meant destroying the planet as a whole. Despite being an enemy of Chaldea, he holds a level of respect towards them. As per his agreement with Kirschtaria he revealed the identity of the Alien God to the Chaldeans before he executed his plan. When all was said and done he admitted to like the Novum Chaldea, considering them different from Marisbury's one.
He loved science fiction films as a child and was familiar with a theoretical form of teleportation from having watched them.[3]
He considers Scandinavia Peperoncino a friend, close enough for Pepe to be fine with Daybit calling him by his birth name, Myourenji.
Role[]
Fate/Grand Order[]
Olga Marie Animusphere orders Team A to participate in "Singularity Point F".[7] With Lev Lainur's betrayal, Daybit was amongst the casualties to be put into cryofreeze in their coffins.[8]
Arc 2 Prologue[]
After the events of Epic of Remnant, Daybit has woken up.[9]
Anastasia: Permafrost Empire[]
Daybit remains mostly quiet during the meeting with the Crypters. He agrees with Beryl Gut about feeling the pleasure of killing they couldn't experience in a coffin. When Kirschtaria Wodime reveals Chaldea is about to emerge from the Imaginary Numbers Sea, Daybit predicts they'll be in the Russian Lostbelt given the karmic bond between the Oprichniki that attacked them three months ago. Later, Scandinavia Peperoncino asks his opinion on the "cube", to which he responds by calling it a vulnerability in the Indian Lostbelt, and if it was him or Kirschtaria, they would have destroyed it immediately.[10]
SIN: Synchronized Intellect Nation[]
Like with the first meeting, Daybit barely interacts with his fellow Crypters. At some point of the conversation, Wodime asks his opinion about Chaldea's master, to which he responds they are doing pretty well to be someone who stands on the battlefield without a means to protect itself, like someone lacking awareness of the dangers. At the end of the meeting, Scandinavia asks him about his feelings regarding Ophelia's death, to which he answers he wasn't very aware of her though he says he feels somewhat regretful about that before cutting the transmission.[11]
Yuga Kshetra: Saṃsāra of Genesis and Terminus[]
He makes an unexpected appearance in the Indian Lostbelt, saving his fellow Crypter from a pinch and admonishing his Servant for his unnecessary judgement in a foreign territory. A surprised Peperoncino is unable to believe Daybit has traveled to India to help him. It was stated a Crypter can't interfere in the another Crypter's affairs, but there is no rule forbidding personal meetings, a loophole Daybit took advantage of to visit India, be it on a whim or due to fellowship. He reveals that, although somewhat expensive, Koyanskaya can be used to travel between Lostbelts.[12]
Seeing Peperoncino without his assigned Servant and fighting alongside the enemy, Daybit is confused about what is going on and the details. Peperoncino reveals that there have been problems with the Lostbelt King, but since the one responsible seems to be one of the Alter Egos, he couldn't comment about that to Kirschtaria. Accepting the disagreements between the Crypter and the Alien God's emissaries, Daybit concludes that Peperoncino is not betraying his comrades. He changes the subject and asks if Peperoncino can defeat a god. Hearing the Crypter's answer about how futile it is to even try to do something like that, he advises him to change the way you can deal with one: if there is a need that must be met, then there is a way to sabotage said satisfaction. Upon seeing Peperoncino understanding what he needed to do, he decides that it's time for farewells, asking him to keep the meeting a secret from Wodime. Without saying a word, he gazes at Chaldea's Master for a few seconds before exiting the place.[12]
Atlantis: Ancient Ocean of the Dreadnought Gods[]
Unlike the previous meetings, Daybit was absent for unknown reasons. It was commented that somehow the Lostbelt he is in charge of doesn't have anything resembling a Fantasy Tree.[13]
Olympus: Interstellar Mountainous City[]
Following the events leading to the culling of the Atlantic Lostbelt, Daybit remains the last Crypter operating in his own Lostbelt.
Nahui Mictlan: Golden Sea of Trees Travelogue[]
Daybit seeks to awaken ORT and have it devour CHALDEAS to destroy the world. He claims this is fulfilling his role as a Crypter: to destroy the planet before everything is hollowed out.[14]
Daybit reveals to Chaldea that the events of Cosmos in the Lostbelt have all been due to Marisbury Animusphere's plans. He calls Marisbury an ally of humanity, but an enemy of the universe, which is why Daybit is opposed to him. If the Animusphere Grand Order is fulfilled it will surely secure the Human Order, but humanity will be forever regarded as the worst form of intelligent life in the universe. Daybit would rather see the world be destroyed than have Marisbury's plans fulfilled.[3]
Abilities[]
Daybit is said to be an abnormal genius, worthy of acknowledgement by Da Vinci herself. Marisbury Animusphere valued his talents highly,[4] and considered him to have the highest Rayshift aptitude of all.[2] Da Vinci states that both Kirschtaria Wodime and Daybit are geniuses at magecraft, but in different ways; while Kirschtaria is the type who can perform anything theoretically possible without fail, Daybit is the type to achieve the impossible.[13] Among the members of the A-team, Daybit, Scandinavia Peperoncino, and Kirschtaria Wodime are ranked the highest in terms of fighting power and are considered more or less equal to each other so compatibility would decide the victor if they were to fight each other. In a simple duel to the death, Peperoncino would win, a frontal "war" would result in Kirschtaria's victory, and regardless of situation the one to ultimately win would be Daybit due to his unpredictability.[15] Although not shown in any great detail yet, his power and skill as a Master are proven to be extremely high, potentially surpassing Kirschtaria, by his acquisition of a Grand Servant.
Aside from Kirchtaria, he is the only member of A-Team that would be capable of overcoming the Human Order Incineration Incident and restoring humanity in a hypothetical scenario, though he would get stuck on the events after Goetia.[16] In fact, while in their coffins each member of A-team experienced multiple simulations of Goetia's Singularities by the Alien God, with the prize being that those who solve the Incineration would be resuscitated, and both Kirschtaria and Daybit were they only ones to complete them all. However, according to records found by Kadoc Zemlupus in Olympus, Daybit managed to overcome the Singularities and resolve the Human Order Incineration without summoning or using a single Servant. Kirchtaria's notes on this lead Sion and Da Vinci to speculate that, due to his way of thinking and acting being different to mankind, he's not part of the Human Order and thus would be incapable of summoning a Servant, forcing him to resolve the Incineration on his own. Due to solving the Incineration without the Alien God's help in Servant summoning, Daybit was able to resuscitate himself alone and thus owned the Alien God no debts like the other Crypters.[17] In the South American Lostbelt, he fought Camazotz to a draw by himself through the use of a single Command Spell. Despite not being part of the Human Order, Daybit is able to summon a Servant through the power of the land itself, and said Servant, Tezcatlipoca, is able to maintain their existence by constructing a human body to inhabit.[18]
Although Xquic, an Archetype, is capable of seeing all things from the second to eighth layer of Mictlan, Daybit is an exception as, from her point of view, the space he occupies is always "dark and without light"; as if he was there, yet not; there, yet imperceivable. She describes as if his atomic density was exceedingly low, as if he was an immaterial hollow, which Da Vinci compares to the mega-sized space structures known as supervoids; something that seems normal when observed up close but appear as nothing but darkness from far away.[18]
Daybit is the Terminal of the Dark Star (暗黒星の端末?), having formed a connection through the Wooden Halo Angelic Artifact. Through his connection, he can summon entities which are also classified as Angelic Artifacts. While represented as Foreigners in Fate/Grand Order, these shadow creatures aren't Servants, and are not even lifeforms from this cosmic sector, but rather aliens from a place more than 14 billion light years away; the dark stars that flew to the outermost reaches of the cosmos when the universe was born, whose light cannot even reach the planet Earth. Camazotz explains that Daybit is a mirror image; the higher combat power the enemy has, the more of these shadows he can call forth.[3] It's implied that this ability is what allowed him to fight Camazotz to a draw as well as resolve the Alien God's Singularity simulations without summoning a Servant.
When the Artifact activated, Daybit and his father, who were in its presence, were disassembled on an atomic level by the artifact and erased them from existence, along with both of their names and their background from all people's memories and records in the world, becoming as if they never existed. All that remains is their burnt-out shadows on the floor as the only indication to their existence, unable to be removed no matter what methods were used. Brishisan notes that the shadows, although unmoving, are alive and will remain alive forever even after the universe has completely cooled.[3]
Daybit would reappear 0.2 seconds after the Halo's activation, but recognised that he was not the same Daybit as before who died, but one that was reassembled exactly the same as before using his atoms. Though his body and DNA to his personality and memories besides his name were all identical to before, he knew he was different and wasn't a part of the world. There was one defect he discovered that was he could only record five minutes of memory of every 24 hours; each day to him would only be 5 minutes worth of events. Despite this memory defect, it caused him no abnormalities to his daily life, as for him it proves the theory that the events a human needs to remember in a single day can easily fit into five minutes, making the time regular humans have for memories a kind but inefficient amount to him. He would soon be called Daybit, meaning Day's bit, in reference to this idea. At the same time, the artifact would grant Daybit the ability to approach things from a cosmic perspective. This was partially why Marisbury would recruit Daybit, as he needed Daybit for a precise way capable of viewing the universe in a way mankind's current level of technology is incapable of doing. Marisbury states he only needs the view to go to 13.8 billion light-years and not to go outside the universe, and did not need the details about the contents of the universe but only its shape, though the shape was asked to be as elaborate as possible. All this suggests that the artifact made Daybit capable of viewing outside the universe as well as view much of the details of its contents.[3]
It is later revealed that, when Kukulkan knocked down the Storm Border and U-Olga Marie, Daybit had his Servant Tezcatlipoca steal U-Olga's heart due to his specialty of pulling out hearts while they are still alive. Daybit then had U-Olga's heart transplanted into him and, by keeping the heart in an active state and have it continuously send out biosignals to her, he made it seem like U-Olga still had her heart and prevented her from regenerating it, keeping her weakened. This also granted him the ability to be completely immune to any of U-Olga's attacks on him. Daybit predicted it would only give him two days before being discovered, but he was able to maintain it the whole time because U-Olga purposely kept herself in her weakened state due to feeling okay being in the company of Mash and the Protagonist.[3]

Character
A cool-headed young man, a little lacking in humanity.
Silent, emotionless and expressionless. All the right ingredients to ruin a conversation.
His no-nonsense attitude makes people describe him as “like a robot”, but it would be a lot more accurate to describe him as a game animal doing everything it can to survive. The simple beauty of the wild.
Marisbilly considered him the one with the highest Rayshift aptitude of all and his skills were also in the top tier among the Masters gathered by Chaldea, but due to his unsociable personality, he was given the role of supporting from the shadows instead of being the team leader.
Although the other team members acknowledge his abilities, his complete lack of cooperativeness made Wodime a preferable choice for the leader position.デイビット・ゼム・ヴォイド

TYPE-MOON Ace Volume 14 Nasu interview Question: So does that make Peperoncino second to none in terms of combat prowess??
Nasu: Pepe would win in a simple 1v1 match to death, but Kirschtaria would be the one to emerge victorious in a frontal “war”. And regardless of the situation, the one to ultimately win would be Daybit due to his unpredictability. These three are more or less evenly matched, so winning boils down to compatibility. Assuming the two belong to the same category of strength, you could say Pepe is backward compatible with Beryl.
So we already know who would win if Beryl and Pepe were to clash head-on.
Nasu: That’s right. Beryl thinks he could kill Pepe in an instant if he wanted to, hence his arrogance. Meanwhile, Pepe, sensing what’s on Beryl’s mind, would just shrug it off like the adult he is. “Sure, if that’s what you think. You do you.” - ↑ Famitsu 10/05/19 - Question: "For the last one, is it okay for me to ask my personal question? Say for example, if the protagonist didn't survive in the prologue, and someone from A-Team survived, what will happen to humanity? Is there anyone in A-Team who can successfully restore the Human Order?"
Nasu: "There are two... I believe, it's either Kirschtaria Wodime or Daybit Sem Void. But in case of Daybit, he will get stuck after restoring humanity and won't be able to face off against the danger in year 2018."
Kirschtaria will be able to hold on?
Nasu: If its Kirschtaria he'll just make it? No, he'll be able to clear half of the threat from 2018 but he can't win since he's a Crypter. But, if we're just talking about restoring the Human Order, Kadoc might have a chance. No, nope. It's too much for Kadoc.
Kadoc feels like he has a factor that'll let him become a protagonist. What do you think?
Nasu: His plot armor (最後の運命力) is just a tad insufficient. If Anatasia works hard then maybe, but without Lostbelts he won't meet "that Anatasia." There are various reasons why the other faces would quickly fail. - ↑ Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Nahui Mictlan: Golden Sea of Trees Travelogue - Section 12: Kingdom of the Dead
