asks about why she allows him to be around her.
** When her brother starts to call Chu names, Natsume replies angrily that he shouldn't insult him like that and that he won't be weak forever - which thoroughly confuses her brother.

Mukuro is one of the three kings of the Demon realm - despised by Yomi as a "chaos preaching tyrant", somewhat liked by Raizen, but more or less feared by ''everyone'' for being shady and unpredictable. Discovering Hiei while preparing for war and, after testing his strength against Shigure, Mukuro placed him as second in command. Mukuro is quick to agree when Yusuke proposes the demon world tournament, battling with Hiei and winning but then ending up up losing to Enki in the final round.

* HornedHumanoid: The flashbacks showed that he had two horns originally and in the present has five more added to his head (with a pair coming out each side and a larger one in the back). The additional horns were presumably added to improve his ability to pick up on vibrations and sounds.



* MeaningfulName: His name translates into English as "to read" which is ironic in one sense given that he is blind, but is also fitting given that he can "see" and read his opponents moves via his ultra enhanced hearing.

Sei-Sei Shinto/True Disciples moved to Villains



!!''Sei-Sei Shinto (AKA The Armed Church of the True Disciples)''

The last enemies that Team Urameshi fought against in the story.
----
* AdaptedOut: The [[http://makai666.blogspot.com/2011/12/episode-112.html Sei-Sei Shinto]], which appeared in Chapter 174 (the next to last one) in the manga, doesn't appear in the anime.
* BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler: Ōtake, the former Captain of the Special Defense Forces who was removed by King Enma for failing to kill Yusuke]], is the leader of the Sei-Sei Shinto.
* TheCoup: In this case, the True Disciples goals is to [[spoiler: to restore the Deposed ruler Enma back onto the throne]].
* DeathRay / WaveMotionGun: What they plan on using as their FinalSolution against [[spoiler: Sarayashiki, Japan]] if their demands are not met.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Their opposition to the changes brought about by [[spoiler: the new Spirit World government led by King]] Koenma is strongly reminiscent of {{Right Wing Militia Fanatic}}s that were active during TheNineties. In addition their head grabs closely resemble [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keffiyeh Keffiyehs]] that are worn by people of the Middle East. Their goals are described, via the Creator/VizMedia English translation, as follows: "They believe they are on a Holy mission from god to purify the Human world. The True Disciples follow the most extremist (sic) version of their teachings".
* EvilReactionary: Now that the status quo has been changed [[spoiler: following King Enma's impeachment and removal from the throne]], they seek to restore the previous order at all costs.
* FantasticRacism: Against Demons who they still regard as being AlwaysChaoticEvil even after that was [[DarkIsNotEvil definitively disproven]]. The Sect also has some contempt for Humans in viewing them as being [[HumansAreBastards immoral]] and [[HumansAreMorons undeserving of running their own lives]]. Team Urameshi [[ScrewYouElves would beg to disagree]].
* GasMaskMooks: Most of the Terrorists wear Gas Masks.
* HostageSituation: Of whom notable individuals they are holding at gun point include Koenma and Botan.
* IRejectYourReality: They refuse to accept that [[spoiler: King Enma was responsible for brainwashing and using Demons to [[EngineeredHeroics justify his so-called "protection" of Humans]] ]] and now wish to restore [[EvilReactionary Status Quo Ante]] regarding that revelation as [[FanonDiscontinuity never having happened]].
* KnightTemplar: The Sei-Sei Shinto are a radical Spirit World religious sect that take over the Gates of Judgment in the Spirit World to "[[PureIsNotGood purify]]" the Human world.
* LightIsNotGood: Spirit beings, such as Koenma and Botan, have for most of the series been portrayed as [[LightIsGood allied with the forces of good]] against Demonic threats. In this instance it has been flipped with some of Spirit World's Denizens as the antagonists.
* TheMagicVersusTechnologyWar: In this case, Sei-Sei Shinto's Spirit World {{Magitek}} against Team Urameshi's members' SupernaturalMartialArts. Despite outnumbering the heroes thirty-three to four, the True Disciples were easily beaten. [[spoiler: The Interdimensional laser, on the other hand, remained as one thing Team Urameshi could not over come with brute force]].
* OrderVersusChaos: They are the order to the [[DesignatedVillain perceived]] anarchy of Demons. Though the order that Sei-Sei Shinto wishes to impose would better be described as [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans Tyranny]].
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Of a more Fantastic variety.
* SuperiorSpecies: What they believe to be the case with Spirit World in regard to its inhabitants' [[WhiteMansBurden "right" to rule over Humans]].
* UndyingLoyalty: For the ultimate villain of the series [[spoiler: King Enma]].
