Yo Mika

- "No matter how many summoners give their lives, Sin cannot be truly defeated. The rebirth cannot be stopped. Yet the courage of those who fight gives the people hope. There is nothing futile in the life and death of a summoner."
- —Yo Mika

Story
Edit

Added by KeltainentoukokuuMika first appears in Luca, where he is celebrating his 50th year as Grand Maester by attending the blitzball tournament held in his honor. He introduces Seymour Guado, the newly appointed Maester who has succeeded his father, Jyscal, following his death.
After the battle with Seymour, Mika places Yuna and her guardians on trial for Seymour's murder. It becomes clear there is a deep conspiracy surrounding Bevelle and Yevon. Mika is revealed to be an unsent, claiming that even in death, his leadership is "invaluable to Spira."
As Yuna and her friends dig deeper into this web of lies, Mika reveals the truth: "Sin cannot be truly defeated", and the teachings claiming that atonement for the crimes committed during the Machina War can defeat it are false. Only the hope that summoners bring when calming Sin is what keeps Spira going.
Later, when Mika learns that the party have destroyed Yunalesca and the only means of producing a brief Calm is gone, Mika descends into despair and disperses into pyreflies, leaving Spira to its destruction with no intent to witness it. Before vanishing, he mentions Yu Yevon - a significant hint to ending Sin permanently. (This meeting is the trigger for O'aka XXIII's brother, Wantz, to move to Macalania Woods and begin selling four-slot equipment.)

Added by KeltainentoukokuuMika's unsent status is hinted during he and Seymour's debut scene. When Tidus learns he has been Grand Maester for half a century, he asks "Shouldn't he be retired now?", much to Wakka's annoyance.
When Yuna, Rikku, and Paine encounters Mika two years later in the Via Infinito in Final Fantasy X-2, he has become the fiend Concherer.
