Sumire
Last updated 2026-06-13
Sumire is an event-exclusive NPC who first appeared in the event Soulblazers' Snowbound Journey.
Profile
Sumire is an inspector of the Shuumatsuban, a position she acquired shortly before the Soulblazers' Snowbound Journey event. According to Sayu, she has a serious personality and pushes them hard during training.[1]
Sumire is also the trainer and partner of the Ninken Gaumaru, whom she has raised since it was a pup. She has high hopes for Gaumaru, as it is currently at the head of the newest cohort of Ninken. When she led the Shuumatsuban mission to Dragonspine during the Soulblazers' Snowbound Journey event, Sumire brought along Gaumaru to train its combat abilities. By the time of the Trials of the Brave Warrior event, she judged its skills to be on par with Taroumaru at its prime.
Despite her rigor, she seems to have a soft spot for Gaumaru; during the Technical Martial Challenge, she asked the Traveler to not be too hard on the pup, as she "[wouldn't] be able to bear it."[2]

Soulblazers' Snowbound Journey
Available after completing Playing in the Snow Counts as Training Too!
- Sumire: So, are you ready to challenge the Frostarm Lawachurl?
- Gaumaru: Grr... Woof!
- Sumire: Then focus on your training. You'll be able to do it one day!
- Sumire: Soon, at the martial arts tournament, you'll have your first chance to show what you've got.
- Sumire: As the newest generation of the Shuumatsuban's Ninken, I believe you'll go further than any of your predecessors.
- Sumire: Of course, it's not all about combat. Your tracking skills need work, too.
- Sumire: Your next goal is to find Master Sayu while she's hiding and napping in less than five times the time Miss Kano Nana took. Think you can handle that?
- Gaumaru: Arf-wooo!
Trials of the Brave Warrior
Available before completing Final Match Concludes, Champion Decided.
- Sumire: Oh? So you're the "Final Trial Guardian" Mr. Sieciech was talking about... That's reassuring.
And you are...?
- Sumire: Inspector Sumire of the Shuumatsuban. I'm here with my Ninken partner to sharpen my martial arts skills.
- Sumire: Sayu has spoken of your abilities many times, and now I may finally witness them for myself.
- Sumire: Please, don't pull your punches with any of us. I'm not the one footing the medical bills for the other two anyway.
- "Gaumaru"?
- Sumire: It's the Ninken I've raised since it was a pup, and true model and leader for the newest generation of Ninkens.
- Sumire: Gaumaru may still be a little wet behind the ears, but with the new and improved training method that was put in place. [sic]
- Sumire: its [sic] battle capabilities should be on par with... Mr. "Final Ray of Dusk" Taroumaru at his prime... Yes, we should be more or less there.
- Sumire: I hope you two enjoy the battle. And please, don't be too hard on Gaumaru.
- Sumire: Otherwise, I won't be able to bear it.
- Goodbye.
- Sumire: Take care.
Available after completing Final Match Concludes, Champion Decided.
- Gaumaru: Ruff ruff! Ruff ruff!
- Sumire: Looks like Gaumaru had a really good time.
- Sumire: Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the guidance. I hope we can do this again in the future.
