Shiraori

Warning: Exploring this aspect of the So I'm a Spider, So What? Wiki contains heavy spoilers.

Shiraori (白織), more commonly known as Shiro (白) or White, is the mysterious commander of the Tenth Demon Army and Administrator D's object of interest. During her debut, she is presented as a highly suspicious individual who rarely talks and was powerful enough to kill the previous Hero, Julius, and his entire party instantly.

Appearance

Shiraori has the appearance of a young albino girl with ghost-white skin and long silver-white hair. She keeps her extraordinarily long, flowing, straight hair loose, but from neck down she styles it in a considerable braid.

Her eyes are unique, shining a bright ruby-red. Inside her two-human eyes are four small arachnid pupils surrounding her human pupil in a "X" shape, which makes it look like she has five eyes on each side.^[1] Her clothes, created from her dimensional thread, consist of a one-piece dress with wide-open sleeves and a large hood that she often uses.

Personality

“	No matter what anyone says, I won't accept any ending that doesn't leave the Demon Lord smiling.	”
— Shiraori, internal thoughts, Volume 10-Epilogue: Thus an Evil God Is Born

Shiraori is an introvert because she has little to no experience dealing with people due to the seclusion she experienced while trying to survive as a spider in the Great Elroe Labyrinth. She can read people's thoughts and intentions well enough and responds to their speech in her head, but often fails to communicate these thoughts with words. She has slight mannerisms that people close to her can understand, but she does her utmost to avoid interacting with people she is not familiar with whenever possible.

The only time her speech is clear is when she is in shock,^[2] or drunk.^[3] Most other times, she speaks in broken phrases that are just enough to get her message across.^[4][5] It is also important to note that she cannot hold her liquor and blacks out almost instantly. During this time, she behaves in outrageous ways, and her extraordinary power makes it impossible to contain any situation she may find herself in.^[6]

It takes a while, but Shiraori eventually warms up enough to Ariel to be able to speak to her like a normal person. This occurs after she has a "change of heart" and decides to fully commit herself to help the Demon Lord with her goals. This is not the case with others, though; she still ends up relying on her mannerisms or others that are close to her such as Ariel, Sophia, Merazophis, or Wrath to relay her thoughts and goals.^[7]

Although she rarely speaks, she likes to write. Since realizing that verbal communication is too difficult, she prefers to communicate with others through writing instead. She ends up writing several books worth of information about the System, her plans, and the state of the world.^{[citation needed]}

As the teacher of Sophia and Wrath, she drills into them the idea that stats aren't everything, and that strong individuals should never underestimate those below them.^[8]

As stated by her, Shiraori herself has shown to be fiercely independent and somewhat selfish. As admitted by her, she cannot fathom nor understand the way of thinking of people like Sariel, who continuously and recklessly strives to save humanity despite their incredibly foolish actions that ended up endangering their planet, even if ends up sacrificing herself in the process. Shiraori believes that one should always strive to do what one wishes and live freely, with her truthfully and honestly not caring what other people have to say about it or do. In her opinion, the only important thing is what one wishes to do. Shiroari herself admitted that she was perfectly fine with trampling over complete strangers in order to accomplish her goals and do what she wants.

These self-centered personality traits have been noted by Güliedistodiez to make Shiraori very similar to D who similarly does not care about other people while doing whatever she pleases.

Synopsis

Background

From the moment she was introduced in the prolepsis, Shiraori's identity was a big mystery. Upon confronting Schlain's party during the Elf Village Battle, it is revealed that she is actually the reincarnation of their classmate Wakaba Hiiro, thus making her and Kumoko one and the same. In her past life, she was a social outcast whose family had broken up and was bullied in class, spending most of her time reading light novels and playing video games.

However, this was only half-true. While Shiraori and Kumoko are indeed the same person, she is, in fact, not the reincarnation of Wakaba Hiiro. In reality, Wakaba Hiiro was an alternate identity assumed by D to escape her duties as the manager of the Underworld and play at being a normal high-school student. She was actually an outcast by choice, and her family that had "broken up" didn't really exist. Furthermore, despite her antisocial tendencies, her classmates actually revered her as the "Queen of the Class," and her would-be bullies were merely jealous.

Shiraori's actual true identity was an ordinary spider that happened to be in the classroom at the time everyone got reincarnated. Upon being spotted, one of the students, Natsume Tengo, wanted to squash her but was stopped by the teacher, Ms. Oka, who allowed the spider to stay as a sort of class-pet. However, the students were disgusted by it and Shiraori spent her days in the classroom desperately clinging on to life.

One day during class, a mysterious explosion occurred and killed everyone in the classroom, including Shiraori. In reality, the explosion was the result of a previous Hero and Demon Lord's attempt to assassinate D. Feeling responsible and thinking it would be fun, D reincarnated the casualties. However, such an act would definitely attract the attention of the underworld staff. Thus, to distract them, she took Shiraori's soul and gave it a piece of her own, effectively overwriting her existence, before reincarnating her as well.

Prolepsis

The Great Human-Demon War

Shiraori made her debut in the prolepsis during a meeting between the Demon Lord, Ariel, and the demon army commanders. She is immediately presented as a mysterious individual, only speaking the bare minimum required, regarding the status of her 10th army. Not even the Demon Lord's aide, Balto, knew her true identity, though he believed her to be a Ruler.^[9]

Her next appearance is after the conclusion of The Great Human-Demon War, when Ariel pics up the scarf that belonged to the previous Hero, Julius, who was slain during the war. The Demon Lord then jokingly decides to have the scarf send to Julius' younger brother, Schlain, though Shiraori just remained silent at the Demon Lord's remarks.^[10]

The Fall of Analeit

During Hyrince's recollection of the war to Schlain, who had inherited the Hero title, he reveals that it was Shiraori who slew Julius. He described her as a pure-white girl who leisurely walked onto the battlefield and instantly obliterated Julius along with the entire party using a Rot attack.^[11]

Following The Fall of Analeit, after Schlain managed to save his and Katia's families and flee, it is revealed that Shiraori and Ariel were watching the whole ordeal. Ariel's words also revealed that Shiraori was the one who masterminded the incident. While the Demon Lord had some criticisms, she stated that she trusted her to handle the situation.^[12]

March to the Elf Village

She later attended the meeting between the surviving commanders, once again only speaking the bare minimum regarding the status of the 10th army. Later going with Ariel after she announced that she will be taking the 4th, 8th, and 10th armies to attack the Elf Village.^[13]

On their way to the Elf Village by riding an Arch Taratect, Shiraori showed her first signs of emotions. Ariel noticed that she was worried about the Reincarnations about to be caught in the crossfire and tells her to not worry.^[14] Meanwhile, Schlain and his party were also heading toward the Elf Village to aid the Elves in the upcoming battle. During this time, Schlain had a dream about Shiraori that he interpreted as the spirit of Julius trying to tell him something.^[15]

Elf Village Battle

At the climax of the Elf Village Battle, Shiraori interferes in Sophia and Wrath's fight with Schlain's party just as the former is about to kill Hugo for insulting her, revealing herself to her mysterious "Master". She then removes a tiny spider from Hugo's ear, causing him to lose consciousness, further revealing she was manipulating him into initiating the battle. Shiraori's true identity is then revealed as Schlain's party all recognize her as their supposedly deceased classmate Wakaba Hiiro, thus making her and Kumoko one and the same.^[16]

Origin

Shiraori's original form is that of Kumoko, a spider monster from the Great Elroe Labyrinth. Kumoko evolved into Shiraori when she ate a GMA Bomb at the core of the G-Fleet in a panic because it was going to explode, thinking maybe she could digest and absorb it similarly to Ariel's Gluttony skill. The GMA Bomb was being used as a generator to power the G-Fleet and its army of G-Tris and G-Tetras. These autonomous robots utilize MA Energy as a power source. This technology was what led to the past destruction of the world and the necessity of the System, so a massive battle involving all the major players in the world ensued to make sure the G-Fleet and its army were put down for good, with Shiraori and Ariel being centerpieces in stopping it, which resulted in Kumoko swallowing the GMA bomb. After absorbing the MA Energy from the GMA Bomb, when it exploded inside her stomach, Kumoko reaches Divinity Expansion Level 10 and undergoes deification, transcends the System, and is reborn as Shiraori after 47 days.^[17]

When she awakens, she comes face to face with Güliedistodiez, Ariel, Sophia, Merazophis, and the Puppet Taratect Sisters. Güliedistodiez quickly realizes what has happened and explains to her that she has successfully become a god and escaped the confines of the System, but due to the unusual way she entered deification, by using the system, she had been left weakened due to being unable to use her energy via skills. Shiraori is effectively a normal human with none of the previous enhancements she had as a monster inside the System. Ariel decides to protect Shiraori until she learns to utilize the tremendous energy she now possesses.^[1]

Journey

Now completely helpless and reliant on the rest of the group for her needs, Shiraori laments her uselessness as they travel through the Renxandt Empire into the Mystic Mountains to get to the Demon Realm. She has little stamina and can barely even walk because she was so used to walking on eight legs. This helplessness leaves her thoroughly depressed while the rest of the party protects her. Sael is specifically assigned as her bodyguard when the others need to leave Shiraori alone, and this almost leads to some serious issues due to how literal Sael takes her orders.

When they finally leave the Renxandt Empire and begin travelling through the Mystic Mountains, they come face to face with Wrath, who is berserk due to the influence of the Wrath skill. They also accidentally kill an Anogratch; in the ensuing chaos caused by the swarm of monkeys, Ariel, and the rest get separated from Shiraori, Sael, and Sophia. Shiraori, Sophia, and Sael desperately fight Wrath and attempt to flee, but he opens up a giant crevice in the glacier they are standing on, causing Sophia and him to fall. In a panic, Shiraori summons thread from her fingertips to save Sophia from certain death, and in the process re-learns the first skill she ever used: thread-weaving. Elated, but at the same time scared, she saves Mera from falling into the crevice as well, while Sael gathers them all up and brings them to safety.^[18]

The rest of the journey through the Mystic Mountains is uneventful, and after a lot more suffering in the bumpy carriage, they finally get to relax a bit. Sort of. Shiraori later awakens her ability to control her energy fully after getting drunk, as in her drunken state she is unconstrained by logic and learns to instinctively use her energy after that experience.

Life in the Demon Realm

The Demon Realm is Ariel's domain, upon reaching Balto's — a trusted aide's manor, Ariel quickly gets Shiraori, Sophia, Merazophis, and the puppet taratect sisters settled into Balto's manor and begins her duties as the Demon Lord.

Due to their time getting to know each other, witnessing the numerous times Ariel protected her — once even risking her life. Shiraori decided to express her gratitude by assisting Ariel's plan to reignite the conflict between the human and demon factions.

She uses her new ability to create an army of mini spider clones to gather information across the domain, happens to stumble upon rebellious elements within the Demon Realm caused by Ariel's rapid militarism, passing the information to Ariel and Balto.

With tensions between humans and demons on the rise, combined with the lack of talented commanders due to the purge and an urgent need for military reorganization, Shiraori becomes one of Ariel's army commanders.

Relationships

Ariel "Demon Lord"

Grandmother; in the beginning, Shiraori had a rocky and antagonistic relationship with the Demon Lord due to past grievances. After coming to an agreement and witnessing how Ariel continues to protect her — even in her severely weakened state after the GMA bomb incident, their relationship greatly improved as they have officially buried the hatchet. Despite her poor social skills, Ariel is one of the few beings that Shiraori feels comfortable conversing with. Due to Ariel's soul being fused with a part of Shiraori's, Ariel is quick to understand and communicate Shiraori's intentions to others.

Sophia "Vampy" Keren

Protégé; while caring for each other, Shiraori has a complicated relationship with Sophia due to both struggling to openly express themselves, Shiraori due to her speaking issues and Sophia due to her pride. Though annoyed by her selfish behavior, Shiraori tries to bear with her, understanding that she is just a child wanting attention. She was even somewhat submissive toward her when she was without her powers, being rather frightened by her Yandere tendencies. Shiraori claims that she sees Sophia as somewhat of a little sister.

However, after Sophia caused an incident at the Demon Academy, Shiraori finally had enough and became stricter with her. In fact, she became borderline abusive, forcing her to address her as "master" using a curse and severely punishing her for any perceived disobedience. In a way, she now treats her more like an unruly pet dog than an actual person. While others have called her out for taking things a bit too far, Shiraori believes that is doing this for Sophia's own good.

Wrath "Mr. Oni"

One of Shiraori's travel companions and a pupil. She was indirectly responsible for Wrath regaining his consciousness. Shiraori also feels somewhat responsible for Wrath, helping him to get acclimatize and teaching him the ways of the new world. Despite Shiraori's communication issues, Wrath is one of the few characters in the series that can interpret what she is trying to convert to others. They currently have a working relationship with one another.

Merazophis "Mera"

Colleague; They originally met when Shiraori was still in her original Kumoko form. She saved him and the Karens from bandits, and she healed his wounds, much to his surprise. Unlike other humans she encountered, he never expressed hostility towards her. They officially became allies after she and Ariel save him and Sophia from Potimas. As they traveled to the demon realm, she is impressed by his abilities as a former butler and (inwardly) made fun of him being surrounded by beautiful girls when they traveled together. He also carried her during the time when Shiraori was rendered weak due to her evolution.

After becoming commanders of Ariel's army, Shiraori generally turns to Mera for the kind of underground missions that she does not want to burden Sophia and Wrath with. However, she respects his decisions, being fully willing to dirty her hands should he refuse.

Güliedistodiez "Gülie-Gülie"

Fellow administrator; in the beginning, Shiraori and Güliedistodiez were more-or-less neutral toward each other, and she even looked up to him to some degree. Unfortunately, their relationship began to sour once she realized he disliked her and she eventually began blaming his inaction for the planet's current state.

Because of this, Shiraori kept Güliedistodiez in the dark about her plan to save the world requiring half of humanity be sacrificed, as she knew he would not accept it. Though technically allies, Shiraori believed that them coming to blows was inevitable. True enough, once D revealed the details of Shiraori's plan, Güliedistodiez immediately turned on her. In the end, however, Shiraori was, though with some difficulty, able to talk him into a ceasefire upon realizing that D intended to shut down the system regardless.

Felmina

Her vice-commander in her 10^th demon army; Shiraori has an overall very positive opinion of Felmina and sympathizes with her, having been ousted by her family as a result of Sophia's actions at the Demon Academy. However, just like Sophia, she is not above severely punishing her for any perceived disobedience.

Wald

An officer in her 10^th demon army; Shiraori has an overall negative opinion of Wald, viewing him as "crazy" for remaining loyal to Sophia even after the charm the vampire unintentionally cast on him was undone.

Hyrince

As tense as Shiraori's relationship with Güliedistodiez is, the one with his clone, Hyrince, is arguably even tenser. Because he had been a companion of the previous Hero, Julius, whom Shiraori killed, he straight up accuses her of being "evil". Shiraori, however, does not even try to defend herself against him, even if she had not actually done anything, only criticizing him for letting his emotions cloud his judgement. Despite her low opinion of him, Shiraori at least expected him to try to stop Shun, causing her to be irritated when he instead helped him pass the roadblocks she created to keep the Hero out of the conflict. As a result, when they met again face-to-face during the Elf Village Battle, Shiraori gave Hyrince an angry glare to force him to cooperate when she had Sophia and Wrath escort Shun's party away from the battlefield.

Filimøs "Ms. Oka" Harrifenas

Because Ms. Oka prevented the other reincarnations from harming her in their previous lives, Shiraori feels greatly indebted to her and strives to ensure her safety without her knowing. She even went as far as to punch D's head off in a fit of rage once she learned of the dangerous position she was reincarnated in and promising to punish Sophia after allowing her to get in harm's way. After finally crossing paths during the Elf Village Battle, Shiraori treated Filimøs with the sense of respect expected from a student to a teacher and later had Sophia and Wrath escort her and the rest of Shun's party away from the battlefield. Ms. Oka is also one of the few people Shiraori is comfortable speaking to, though not to the same extent as Ariel.

Schlain "Yamada" Zagan Analeit

Shiraori has both indirectly protected Shun and caused him a lot of suffering. While she killed his brother, Julius, and overthrew his country, the latter was actually done to protect him, as the nation had secretly been taken over by the elves. Unfortunately, this instead only prompted him to enter the conflict. She regards him as a severe threat due to him being the Hero, possessing the Hero's Sword, and his Divine Protection skill, to the point she only opted not to kill him for Ms. Oka's sake. On a personal level, however, Shiraori holds no ill will towards Shun and even somewhat pities him, viewing him as an ordinary person who got thrown into a situation that he does not understand.

Feirune "Shinohara"

Shiraori has a very negative opinion of Fei due to having been bullied her in her previous life as Wakaba Hiiro. Furthermore, she has expressed jealousy toward her being reincarnated as a powerful wyrm whereas she was stuck as a weak taratect. Because of this, Shiraori takes great pleasure in watching Fei being put in embarrassing situations. However, she is relieved that she didn't accidentally eat Fei's egg when she was Kumoko. Despite her dislike for Fei, she draws a line.

Even following the revelation that Shiraori is not the real Wakaba, she still feels this way due to her having her memories.

Karnatia "Ooshima" Seri Anabald

While spying on Katia, though Shiraori was initially embarrassed watching her and Shun basically act like a couple, over time, she came to find their "harem" antics quite entertaining. Shiraori especially likes seeing Katia get jealous whenever Shun get "too close" with another woman.

Hugo "Natsume" Baint von Renxandt

Because Natsume attempted to harm her in their previous lives, Shiraori holds a massive grudge against him.

Upon finding him through her spy network, she nearly decided to kill him and only relented because it would make Ms. Oka sad. Though annoyed by his egotistical attitude, she did not believe it was her place to reprimand him. When he vowed vengeance on Ms. Oka after she stripped him of his skills, however, Shiraori concluded he would never change before brainwashing him and using him in her plans. Overall, Shiraori used Hugo up and threw him away once his usefulness had run out without any remorse, arguing he would have acted the way he did regardless of her brainwashing. After having him attack the elf Village and manipulate the Empire, Shiraori decided to remove her mind control Spider from his brain, knocking him out before leaving him to fend for himself.

Yuri Ullen

Upon finding Yuri through her spy network, Shiraori realized that she barely even remembers her, as she never stood out in their previous lives. However, while spying on her throughout the Academy Arc, she was shocked and disturbed to discover that she had become a Word of God fanatic.

Kunihiko Tagawa & Asaka Kushitani

Shiraori is indirectly responsible for the destruction of Kunihiko and Asaka's village, having ordered Merazophis to destroy it, so they would not cross paths with Ms. Oka and subsequently be abducted by the elves. Nevertheless, she did this to protect them and had arranged for the church to take them in. When they were finally brought to the Elf Village by Ms. Oka following The Great Human-Demon War, however, Shiraori did nothing as she already had other matters to deal with.

Suelecia Analeit

Shiraori's first interaction with Sue was just after she brainwashed Hugo, when the latter snuck into his room to kill for the attempt on Shun's life during the Academy Arc. Fortunately for her, sensing the overwhelming difference in strength, the princess submitted and became her subordinate. During The Fall of Analeit, Shiraori had Sue assassinate her father. However, sensing this might be too much for the young girl, she had Hugo brainwash her during this time as a way of showing her mercy. Afterward, as reward for her services, Shiraori agreed to give the young girl what she always desired: Schlain.

Julius Zagan Analeit

Shiraori saw Julius as a severe threat due to the danger posed by the Hero title. Because of this, she personally killed him during The Great Human-Demon War and attempted to delete the Hero title from the System. On a personal level, however, she felt no animosity toward him and even somewhat admired his way of living. Following the Hero's death, Shiraori concluded that she underestimated him, as she not only failed in her attempt to delete the title, but the Hero also greatly damaged her forces.

Bloe Phthalo

Because he burned down her webs during their first meeting, along with his vulgar attitude, Shiraori viewed Bloe as an occasional annoyance, inwardly referring to him as "Hooligan". Though somewhat aware of the crush he had on her, she just ignored him as she found him repulsive. Despite this, however, when she was sent to retrieve him by Ariel during The Great Human-Demon War, she respected his decision to stay.

D

Shiraori has a complicated and a love-hate relationship with D. While she has expressed gratitude for her assistance both within and outside the system and even feels some attraction towards her, potentially due to her having been the one who gave her name, she is also disgusted by her nonchalant treatment of the lives of the other reincarnations and the world's natives. D has openly expressed that she wants to keep Shiraori close to her due to her amusement value, viewing her as "hers". However, Shiraori cannot accept this, as she wants to live freely, but also acknowledges that, due to the overwhelming difference in power, she would be unable to refuse if D seriously wished to recruit her.

It was later revealed D was the indirect creator of her being, having infused her some of her memories as Wakaba Hiiro on to a classroom spider to distract her fellow gods and avoid her duties. Shiraori was initially angry that the whole purpose of her existence was just to allow D to slack off, but was silenced when her creator stated that, unlike herself, she is at least free.

Ultimately, after D revealed she reincarnated Ms. Oka as an Elf simply for her own entertainment, Shiraori finally got fed up with her antics and punched her head off in a fit of rage. While D would simply revive herself, this led to Meido finding her and dragging her back to work, causing Shiraori to get her revenge in a way. Unfortunately, this would not be the end of her troubles with D, as the evil god returned shortly after Potimas' defeat and revealed Shiraori's plan to destroy the System to the entire planet.

Meido

Shiraori inadvertently initiated her first meeting with Meido when she punched D's head off, which led the maid to find them. Sensing the difference in strength between them, Shiraori wisely kept silent around her, despite the latter viewing her as D's "toy". In the end, Meido did not really pay much attention to Shiraori and the two peacefully parted ways after the former retrieved D.

Powers & Abilities

Equipment

White's Scythe: A weapon built from one of Shiraori's front scythe-like limbs when she was an Arachne, this weapon has been modified by D^[1] with automatic growth properties and is virtually indestructible within the confines of the system. It can cut through anti-magic constructs and emits an eerie aura of darkness.^[19] A piece of Shiraori's soul is inside it^[1] giving it a will of its own. She has a habit of forgetting this weapon exists, but, when in danger, it summons itself giving her an immense boost in strength.

Conjuring

Having transcended the System as a god, Shiraori is now incapable of using any of her former Skills. Nonetheless, she learned how to replicate many effects through conjuring and can activate them from anywhere on her body.^[20]

• Physical Strength: By manually enhancing her body, Shiraori's physical capabilities are able to surpass the System's limit.^[21]

  • Message sending: Shiraori can send messages to others that directly appear inside their minds.^[23]

  • Resurrection: Only within the system Shiraori is able to resurrect the dead.^[24]
  • Shutting down the system: With the help of the keys that are granted with the 14 Ruler Skills or by forcefully picking the corresponding locks, Shiraori would be able to shut down the system, only leaving its "life support" functions active.^[25] This backdoor was intentionally left by D and was only discovered after Shiraori analyzed large parts of the conjuring that makes up the system.^[26]

• Barriers: Shiraori can create magical and physical barriers around herself^[22] and others.^[27]

• Bypassing resistances: Damage inflicted by her ignores system resistances, causing even those with a pain resistance skill to feel hurt.^[28]

• Clairvoyance:

  • Panoptic vision: Shiraori is able to see extremely far away and can even shift her perspective.^[30] This allows her to get a bird's eye view of any area or activate her evil eyes from large distances.
  • X-Ray vision: Shiraori is able to see with closed eyes^[31], through and around walls,^[32] and even look behind her^[33] always having an eye on her surroundings.^[27]

• Clones: Shiraori's aptitude for splitting her consciousness into multiple bodies allows her to create and control tens of thousands of clones. These clones are created to perform specific tasks and can serve as a new body, if her main body dies. There are a million clones^[34] that are generally stored in different dimensions and only called forth when needed.
  • All-purpose Battle Clones: Over ten thousand mass-produced battle clones that are similar to Shiraori's Zana Horowa form. They are equipped with poison, threads and scythes but their main weapons are conjurings and evil eyes.^[25] Their stats would be around 10,000 on average.^[35]
  • Information-gathering Clones: Thousands of mass-produced clones that look like palm-sized white spiders. Initially they were weak and not that hard to spot if one looked for them, easily being crushed by stepping on them. After improving them however, they now are stealthier and able to evade all detection skills. Everything they see and hear is transmitted directly to Shiraori or to special monitors.^[25] They are spread all over the world creating an enormous information network.
  • Mind-controlling Clones: A white spider small enough to fit on a fingertip, specializing in mind control.
  • Queen Taratect Clones:: A handful of clones similar in size and strength to a Queen Taratect.^[25]
  • Space-specialist clones: Similar in appearance and size as the information-gathering clones, but specializing in manipulating space. They are capable of creating other dimensions, eroding the fabric of space, teleportation, and slicing space.^[25]
  • System-related Clones: They analyze and meddle with the system.^[25] They are relatively weak, but were able to outrun a shadow created by the system for a while.^[20]

• Curse Casting: Shiraori can place curses on others.^[36]
  • Sophia's curse: Sophia is forced to refer to Shiraori as "master" and has to kneel whenever Shiraori orders her to.^[37]

• Dark conjuring: One of Shiraori's specialties she can use almost subconsciously.
  • Black Bullets: Small balls of dark energy that can be fired extremely rapidly. They have enough force to easily destroy robots that would have a stat average of around five thousand.^[30]
  • Black Spears: Spears made of dark energy that are considerably stronger than black bullets.^[20][38]
  • Black Wave Motion Gun: Shiraori produces waves of darkness out of her hands that violently push targets away.^[39]
  • Dark Missile: Missiles made of dark energy that Shiraori used as a smoke screen, but where powerful enough to wipe out a swarm of beasts that were summoned by a system shadow.^[20]

• Evil Eyes: Shiraori developed new version of her Evil Eyes after becoming a god, which she can all activate at the same time thanks to her having five pupils in each eye.
  • Annihilating Evil Eye:^[40] An evil eye that instantly obliterates every living thing in Shiraori's field of view. However, there is a strong recoil that not even her regeneration can easily fix. The damage is so severe that she is not able to use any evil eyes for several days without causing further damage to herself.^[20] If a clone would use this evil eye, it would completely disintegrate.^[38]
  • Anti-Magic Evil Eye: An evil eye that is seemingly supposed to stop any magic from forming. It is only mentioned once while Shiraori is drunk.^[39]
  • Gluttonous Evil Eye: An eye inspired by the Demon Lord's signature skill Gluttony. It absorbs energy from a target and breaks down any conjuring in Shiraori's field of view.^[41]
  • Inert Evil Eye: An evil eye with a time-stopping effect. Any target caught in Shiraori's field of vision is unable to move or act.^[31]
  • Past-Vision Evil Eye: An evil eye Shiraori developed that allows her to view scenes of the past. She mentions that she doesn't use it much because "it's far from user-friendly".^[42]
  • Repellent Evil Eye: An evil eye that applies a repellent force to anything Shiraori is looking at, effectively blowing the target away.^[39]
  • Unnamed Fear Evil Eye: Shiraori never mentions the name of this evil eye, but explains that it instills fear in anything she is looking at by directly affecting a target's heart and mind. She is able to reverse this effect to calm targets down instead.^[27] In the Web Novel this evil eye seems to be called Evil Eye of Panic.
  • Warped Evil Eye: An evil eye that twists the fabric of space in a targeted location. Since space itself is being warped it effectively ignores the durability of everything inside its effective area. Its small area of effect is the only downside of this evil eye.^[43]

• Healing conjuring: Shiraori is able to close even fatal wounds with ease.^[2]

• Image projection: Shiraori can project images in to the air or onto objects to illustrate what she is explaining.^[32][27]

• Immortality: As a god, Shiraori is immortal and will never die of old age^[44] as long as her soul is intact.^[23] Destroying her body is meaningless and even destroying her head will only cause her to momentarily lose the ability to think.^[22]
  • Regeneration: As long as Shiraori's soul isn't destroyed and she has sufficient energy, she can regenerate her body endlessly.^[22]

• Soul Sight: Shiraori has the ability to see other people's souls.^[24]

• Spatial conjuring: One of Shiraori's specialties, surpassing even Güliedistodiez who was stated to be extremely talented and lived far longer than her.
  • Pocket Dimensions: She can create multiple pocket dimensions where she can store various things. There are multiple dimensions with clones or other items. She can somewhat alter the properties of these dimensions and even forcefully shove people inside them. By letting attacks inside these pocket dimensions Shiraori can redirect them back at the attacker.
    • Meteor Bullets: Shiraori made over ten thousand bullets out of various legendary monster carcasses and dropped them from space. After gaining a lot of momentum, Shiraori captures the bullets in a pocket dimensions that is essentially a void in a straight line that loops. By shooting these bullets with the help of her battle clones she is easily able to take out multiple high-level Gloria in a straight line.^[38]
  • Spatial Separation: Shiraori is able to completely cut of space around her, making her practically untouchable. Only someone at or above her level stands even a chance of getting inside this "void barrier". The only drawback is that even light and sound are cut off and Shiraori has no way of knowing what is happening outside.^[20]
  • Teleportation: She is able to teleport anywhere she can think of, even other planets^[29], with just a thought^[31]. Teleporting herself seems to have negligible cost, but teleporting entire armies would drain a significant portion of her energy.^[45] She doesn't need to touch others to teleport them.
  • Territory: A field created by a god that is essentially an extension of their body. Inside a completed field Shiraori has an advantage and everyone else is at a disadvantage. Opponents will be slowed down and will find it hard to move, while Shiraori can move freely and even has the option to tweak the laws of physics. If two territories clash, the god that is better at spatial conjuring wins. By summoning thousands of clones and having them eat away at the opponents field, Shiraori can get the advantage over someone that is on her level of spatial control.^[24]

• Thread Manipulation: Due to her spider heritage, Shiraori can produce and manipulate spider threads.^[46]
  • Threads: Her threads are so durable that even Ariel cannot break them with brute force^[47], with their only vulnerability being high-ranking fire magic^[46]. After lacing her threads with spatial conjuring, they are practically indestructible unless one can destroy space itself or erase conjurings.^[22]

• Transformation: Shiraori can freely switch between a human and her Arachne form with just a thought.^[40]

  • Magic Interference: In the Web Novel Shiraori can manipulate magic of others making them activate skills they don't have.^[51] or interfere with their magic construction to completely negate a spell.^[52]
  • Telepathy: In the Web Novel Shiraori can use telepathy,^[53] and eavesdrop on other people's telepathic communication.^[54]

Etymology

• The name Shiraori means "white" (白) (shira) and "weave, weaving" (織) (ori).

Trivia

• Shiraori's ending in the web novel version of the story deviates from the light novel in several ways:
  • Shiraori successfully defeats Güliedistodiez in their fight.
  • Because Shun sided against her plan to destroy the System, she fights him and, while he manages to destroy her main body using the Hero Sword, she knocks him out using a copy of her original Small Lesser Taratect body.
  • Shiraori successfully shuts the System down but redirects the resulting backlash onto herself, seemingly sacrificing herself. In reality, however, she was merely faking her own death to finally escape from D, but the latter sees through it.
  • Shiraori still ends up with D. However, in this version, the latter straight-up captures her following her failed escape attempt via faking her death.
• Caffeinated coffee will completely knock Shiraori out for hours. It's her archenemy. To be clear, it's not as if she can't drink coffee, as she can drink coffee without caffeine and nothing happens. Likewise, she can drink caffeinated tea without a problem. Only caffeinated coffee will have this effect, due to her spider heritage.^[56]
• After becoming the 10th army general, Shiro trains the army to 1000 in each ability score, causing the opposing humans to think they are an elite demon force despite Shiro thinking that they are weak.
• According to D, Shiraori has the third-largest bust size amongst the Reincarnations, surpassed only by Sophia at #1 and just barely losing out to Karnatia at #2.
  • Shiraori herself is bothered by Sophia being bigger than her and even considered cutting them off.
  • The reason for this is that D intentionally set the other reincarnates to be smaller, those two being exceptions who "might" become bigger.
• In the web novel, Shiraori cursed Sophia to refer to her as "Master" accidentally while playing with a set of cards D left behind.
  • In the light novel, she does this on her own and on purpose when Sophia starts causing trouble.
• Shiraori can drink alcohol without getting drunk. However, due to the pleasure she gains while being drunk, she willingly stops her body from resisting alcohol, and allows herself to become drunk.
• In the Web novel, Shiraori does not get physically weakened when she reaches godhood. However, she does lose the ability to use system skills until she creates her techniques, some of which are inspired by or based on her old skills.
• As a god Shiraori is aromantic/asexual and is thus immune to charm effects, as they abuse the romantic feelings of a target.^[20]
