Satsuki Kurogiri, a Master of Babel.
The Unified Language (統一言語, Tōitsu Gengo?), referred to as "The Book of the False God", is the language of ancient Babylonia, a time when no other languages existed and no distinction was made between the speeches of humans, creatures, and living and non-living things. The "truth" spoken before humans became scattered across the world can directly draw from the records, memories, and phenomena recorded in the Swirl of the Root.[1]
Characteristics[]
Babel comes from the famous Babylonian tale. Humans created the Tower of BabelWP to reach the heavens, but God grew angry and destroyed the tower, along with the language. This language was the Unified Language that is able to communicate any kind of concept.[1]
With the Unified Language, one can speak with any creature in the world, read people's pasts, and completely and absolutely hypnotize others. The effects of Satsuki's hypnotism generally lasts about a day.[2]
It is spoken directly through the soul resonating with the Root, allowing it to act as a powerful form of telepathy and hypnotism. The receivers must obey the speaker, known as a "Master of Babel", unquestioningly, as a human rejecting the words of the Unified Language would be the same as rejecting their own existence. If a target is also connected to the Root, the target can somewhat resist its effects. It is considered several ranks above Divine Words in "power", though it lacks the Divine Words' ability to affect nature.[1]
The ability is framed as the polar opposite of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. While a user of Unified Language draws on Akasha to record and recall the past, a user of the the Mystic Eyes of Death perception views the many potential future ends. One observes only the past, the other observes only the future; in essence, they are two sides of the same coin.
Even though the movie showed that one could make Satsuki's ability useless by covering one's ears, this was specifically stated to be a non-canon element of the movie, since the Unified Language connects to the soul itself.

Nasu: It varies depending on the time and effort he puts into it, but basically about a day.
Takeuchi: Got it. So the effect is about the same as when you say “I’ll work hard starting tomorrow!”
Nasu: Even a hypnotic suggestion couldn’t make me do that. - ↑

Nasu: When he was kidnapped by fairies, it’s safe to assume they tampered with him in various ways. Kind of like Shocker from Kamen Rider.
Takeuchi: Kurogiri Satsuki is a modified human. He was altered by fairies as a child, and became a thirty-year-old with a proclivity for dreaming!
Nasu: Oh, I wish somebody would alter me! - ↑
