https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/81df4c51_f97b_4f9e_873b_34c09a723567.jpeg
The main protagonist. He was once a sweet and innocent kid yet his childhood was a living nightmare no thanks to a gang of five bullies. Yet he firmly believe if he just shrugged it off, they would eventually grow bored and leave him alone. But that all changed when the bullies took it out against his own family; Uruma couldn’t stand it anymore and thus trained under the tutelage of his WWII veteran grandpa and enact his revenge against all that wronged him.
  • Affably Evil:
    • Shed tears for Anzai Zenichi after telling him that he must kill Kyou. Uruma was not insulting Anzai's death, unlike Kuga who insulted Anna's death after killing her.
    • After knocking both Oota and Mizuki out due to his desire to confront Jun, he apologizes to them both before and after knocking them unconscious.
  • All of the Other Reindeer: To simply put, his Gang of Bullies ruined his childhood for the heck of it, having a Friendless Background certainly didn’t help much either. Until he fights back.
  • Ancestral Name: He shares the same name with his grandpa, Shun Uruma, Sr.
  • Anti-Hero: Due to his quest for revenge, he becomes this as he vows to torture and kill the bullies who made his life a living hell. In addition, he’s also more than willing to kill anyone who gets in his way, but horrified when innocent people do end up in the crossfire. At the end of the day, he genuinely wants to get rid of the bullies not only for his sake but also for the sake of other's innocent lives as well.
  • Badass Boast: Usually delivers one before he torture the bullies.
  • Bad "Bad Acting": When his classmates decide to do a performance of Romeo and Juliet for the School Festival, he and Kaname are more or less forced to take the lead roles. His terrible acting annoys the heck out of several of the students, but the only reason that’s keeping him from being replaced is because Kaname has A LOT of fanboys, but they allowed Uruma to play as Romeo in order to keep the peace with each other. Uruma does seem to grow out of it when acting together with Kaname.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: He tried his best to put up with all of the tortures his bullies would put him through without ratting them because he didn’t want to trouble his parents and believed the bullies would eventually get bored and leave him alone. For the most part, he can be a sweet yet quiet kid, even under the brutality of Kyou’s gang, until he finally snaps and tortures each of them to death over what they did to his family.
  • Big Brother Instinct: The bullies made a fatal mistake when Kyou beats Kakeru into a coma and mocked his conditions.
  • Bring My Brown Pants: Has his when he was bullied by Kyou and his gang of bullies at the age of 12. Justified because Kyou was strangling him. This prompts Kyou to get off him before the little monster had the chance to kill him.
  • Character Catchphrase: "I won't let anyone take this revenge away from me."
  • Character Development: The death of his parents and his Grandpa's training turned Shun from a sweet kid into a mission-oriented killer. And once his revenge scheme gets going, Uruma eventually changes from someone who only cared about avenging himself to someone who cares about the lives of other people, which makes him different from the villains in the series as they only care for no one but themselves. If anything, it shows how compassionate Uruma has become over time. Furthermore, he went from only wanting to avenge the abuse he and his family went through to avenging other people, whether he himself is involved or not.
  • Clueless Chick-Magnet: He’s attracted quite a number of girls, even more so after the timeskip. And he’s often not aware of this, but becomes bashful once the girls spell it out to him.
  • Cool Big Bro: Is definetely one for his younger brother, Kakeru.
  • Cold-Blooded Torture: His favorite method of revenge is this.
  • The Dog Bites Back: After suffering in silence from his bullies’ beating the ever living shit out of him for who knows how long, he finally has enough when they killed his parents and beat his brother into a coma and vows to kill each and every one of them for what they did.
  • Easily Forgiven: Despite what Uruma did to Anzai Zenichi when he was a teenager, Oota no longer holds a grudge towards Uruma and simply moves on from the past.
    • Downplayed with Anzai Mizuki. While she understands that Uruma may be battling a greater evil than himself, she still doesn't forgive him for what he did to her husband. Despite this, she doesn't seem to be as angry at Uruma following the incident with Jun.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Despite being a serial killer, Uruma has MANY standards that he won't cross:
    • He would never resort to raping any women as he knows how messed up it is. He was even shocked when people like Karen, Kaname, and Anna have became victims of such crimes.
    • He does not target any innocent people. Justified, as he only targets those who are truly the worst people in the world (especially Kyou, who made everyone's lives a living hell).
    • He would never resort to hurting any children. Justified, as he has younger brother who he cares for, explaining his compassion towards them.
    • He would never make others suffer just for the sake of his own entertainment, which is a stark contrast to villains like Senkouji, Ushirou, Madoka, Kuga, and the Revolution Club, who commit those actions for the sake of their own twisted entertainment.
  • Foil:
    • To Kyou Shigoku: While both boys are of the same age, there is a considerable difference among the two. As Uruma is a murderous and vengeful, yet socially-awkward hero with barely any friends in his life, Kyou is a charismatic and cultured, yet cunning and abusive sociopath and prodigy with a cult dedicated to him. In addition, as Uruma is more than willing to have his hands dirty in order to accomplish his quest for revenge, Kyou would rather follow Charles Manson’s example and have his underlings commit many of the crimes he orchestrated just to see HOW he can become a killer WITHOUT having his hands dirty. Also, while Uruma values human life, Kyou does not have any regard for humanity in its entirety. While Uruma is shown to care for his family and friends, Kyou has little to no regards for the deaths of his family and friends as he would prefer to sit back and see how the events following his murder of Uruma's parents would play out.
    • To Anzai Zenichi: While both of them have murdered their bullies in the past, there is some differences among them. As Anzai Zenichi is set on a redemption arc by trying to prevent Uruma from becoming like him in his past, Uruma does not want to stop his quest of revenge as he wants to have his bullies killed.
  • Good Is Not Nice: Although Uruma may be the hero among a lot of his bullies' victims due to killing off those monsters responsible for everyone's tragedies, he can be very cold towards many people.
  • Gotta Kill Them All: Sums up his modus operandi in a nutshell.
  • Hero with Bad Publicity: Downplayed. Although he does get arrested for five years with the media even accusing him of being a criminal, nobody in the city antagonizes Uruma, simply treating him in the same way they treat other strangers.
  • The Hunter Becomes the Hunted: Once the bullies most favorite target, he finally decides to fight back and hunt them all down one by one after what they did to his family. Considering what kind of hell he’s been through, from being tied up and shot at with a BB gun, strangulation, sodomy, and other grisly tortures, it’s no wonder he snaps and goes after them.
  • Hypocrite: Despises his bullies for killing his loved ones when he killed Anzai Zenichi, who Oota loved in a specific way.
  • Identity Amnesia: It’s revealed that he lost his memories as a result of Jun indirectly causing his amnesia during the 5-year timeskip, yet the former still holds onto his strong hatred of Kyou.
  • Karma Houdini: Manages to avoid getting arrested for his murder of Anzai Zenichi…
    • Karma Houdini Warranty: Until it was revealed that Anzai placed a voice recorder on the side of the shack while approaching Uruma in the case that he gets hurt by anyone. The moment Oota finds it and play the entire recording, she immediately goes to arrest Uruma.
  • Kick The Son Of A Bitch: There are several moments when Uruma makes the villains suffer for their crimes.
  • A Lighter Shade of Black: While Uruma may commit morally questionable acts, unlike most villains, he doesn't go to the extreme and hurt others out of sheer sadism. If anything, he only targets criminals and psychopaths. Justified due to the suffering he endured and his desire to make the lives of others better.
  • Loners Are Freaks: His classmates and even his teacher in high school sees him as this because he preferred to sleep in the middle of class and kept to himself. Justified because he cares more about getting his revenge on the bullies than making any friends. It wasn’t until he met Azuma, reuniting with the Shirakawa twins, and preparing for the School Festival did he start to open up more.
  • Nice Guy: Before the bullies killed his family, Uruma was a kind-hearted and well-adjusted kid who wouldn't hurt a fly. The bullies's crimes and his 4 years of training have turned him into a antisocial and mission-oriented killer, but there are moments that show that his good heart still bleeds red, and he tends to treat people that aren't on his shit-list quite well, if in a reserved manner.
  • No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Is usually at the receiving end of this as a kid by Kuga. He will eventually return the favor and kill Kuga for it.
  • Pet the Dog: There plenty of moments that show that, despite all the horror and violence that followed him, Shun is still a fundamentally good person at heart.
    • While it was partially motivated by him wanting to test his skills, he saved Azuma from her rapist-would-be.
    • Uruma was actually quite willing to forgive and reconnect with Senkouji when it appeared that he had changed his ways, and visibly enjoyed being on his presence. However, Senkouji hadn't changed at all, and Uruma kills him for it latter.
    • Uruma delivers Karen's suicide letter to her parents after her and Ushiro's deaths.
    • During the first Kyou arc, when Uruma discovers that Jun was the one that sold him and his family out, instead of being angry or lashing out, Uruma instead tries to reason with him and break him out of Kyou's manipulation.
  • Pretty Boy: He’s won over the affections of Kaname and Azuma for his handsome features. Even one of Azuma’s friends admits he’s kinda cute, but put off for being a loner. He even managed to convince Anna that he was a girl when he crossdress as "Urushibara".
  • Relative Button: For the love of all that is holy, DO NOT INSULT OR HARM HIS FAMILY, or you WILL learn the consequences.
  • Rape and Revenge: He does both versions of this.
    • First, there’s him paying back Ushiro for sodomizing him by torturing him with the pear of anguish. But he doesn’t outright kill him. He saves that for Ushiro’s former captive, Karen, and kill him SHE DOES.
    • He’s furious when he finds out that Madoka had brutally raped Kaname and makes him pay the price for what he did to her.
  • Socially Awkward Hero:
  • Stress Vomit: He’s so horrified and guilt-ridden when he sees the aftermath of Madoka’s assault on Kaname that it makes him puke.
  • True Companions: With Kitami and Mimi. After he’s lost his memories, he randomly walks in on Kitami in the middle killing off a cruel client, but rather than Leave No Witnesses, he nurses him back to health and hires him in his Serial-Killer Killer business. Kitami and Mimi treat him very kindly and even organize a birthday for him on the anniversary of the day they met. Once he does regain his lost memories, Uruma insists on leaving them out of his Roaring Rampage of Revenge, but Kitami and Mimi immediately refuses to follow on his word while making it perfectly clear they’re with him till the end. Uruma is grateful for this and decides right then and there to change his actual birthday to the one his friends gave him.
  • Ungrateful Bastard: Downplayed.
    • While he is appreciative of his allies for their kindness, his murder of Anzai Zenichi more-or-less makes him this after the cop offered him a chance to redeem himself instead of arresting him. However, Uruma makes it clear to him that he needs to kill one more person (Kyou), leaving a heartbroken Anzai to regret not having saved Uruma from the path of darkness.
    • Knocks both Anzai Mizuki and Oota Asako out after they saved his life from Jun and his goons who attempt to murder him. However, Uruma does apologize to the cops before confronting Jun.
  • Would Hit a Girl:
    • Threatens to kill Azuma should she rat him out to the cops. But she remains loyal to him, so he refuses to follow to his word.
    • He gives a brutal kick to the face at Kyou’s underling, Momoki, hard enough to maybe knock her out or outright kill her. Justified because she was a monster of a bitch who killed Kaname and helped kidnap and threaten to kill Kakeru while using him as a Human Shield.
    • Knocks Anzai Mizuki and Oota Asako out after they rescued him from Jun and his goons attempting to kill them after Jun had his way with a doppelganger resembling Azuma Chizuru before offing her.
  • You Killed My Father: What finally breaks the camel’s back from his bullies torment is when they killed both of his parents.

     Grandpa 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/208e9cb9_7f71_449e_b405_56ed82e5fc5c.jpeg

Uruma’s paternal grandfather and legal guardian, he was once a WWII soldier and a member of a top secret unit under the imperial army. When he finds out what his eldest grandson’s bullies did to his parents and little brother, he readily agrees to train him from what he learned from his war days so that his grandson can one day avenge their family and pay back all his bullies in their own blood.


  • All for Nothing: He sacrifices himself after shielding Kakeru from Andou's chainsaw before succumbing to his death. Sadly, Kyou ended up delivering the final blow to the young child, making his effort into saving him for nothing.
  • An Arm and a Leg: Unfortunately, Gramps had to hack off his right foot (bound to a chain) to rescue Kakeru in time.
  • Anti-Hero: Training Uruma to torture his victims asides, he used to be a member of the 78th Kitayama Corps during World War II. This gets him alienated from his son as a result.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Ends up get sliced from a chainsaw all thanks to Andou's attempt on killing Kakeru.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Despite training his grandson to exact his revenge on his bullies, he also ensures that his grandson refrains himself from hurting those who are either innocent or redeemed.
  • Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": His first name is yet to be revealed. Thus, he’s only referred to as “Grandpa” or “Gramps” by his family.
  • Greater-Scope Paragon: Is the reason why Uruma is able to finish off the bullies in a badass fashion after Uruma's declaration of revenge on them.
  • Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: He may appear scary-looking, along with his grandsons warned to stay away from him, but it turns out he genuinely does love them. He also never held any ill feelings towards his son and daughter-in-law for not allowing him to interact with his grandsons in the first place over their fear of him.
  • Old Master: Having served in the Kitayama Corp, it's no wonder why he's been able to train Uruma in the art of torturing his victims, as well as training the teenager in martial arts! He even knocks down Andou Midori and Nogi Takashi, two of Kyou's researchers, onto the ground before they had their way with Kakeru! So much strength for someone in their 60s-80s!
  • Outliving One's Offspring: His son was murdered by Kyou's gang. He also would have outlived his youngest grandson had Kakeru not survived.
  • Papa Wolf: When Uruma reveals what the bullies have done to him and are responsible for the murder of his son, daughter-in-law and beating his youngest grandson into a coma, he immediately agrees to train him in the ways he has been trained as a soldier so that his eldest grandson will avenge their fallen family.
    • He personally killed Madoka, who played a major role in the fatal car crash of his son’s family, by tricking him into thinking he’s Kyou before finishing him off for good.
    • When it’s revealed he’s been kidnapped by Kyou’s cultists but then hears Uruma scream in terror. He frees himself from his restraints rushes out and knocks out both Andou Midori and Nogi Takashi before the former had the chance to saw off Kakeru's left leg. He then frees Uruma from Miguel’s vice grip on him, then killing the bigger man the very second he threaten to kill his eldest grandson.
  • Posthumous Character: Of the Andou arc.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: His failure to stop the Revolution Club members only gave them enough time to kidnap Jun himself and brainwash him into their own minion again...

     Kakeru Uruma 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/9a9e176f_0e5e_40e5_9c38_565381d174d9.jpeg

The youngest son of the Uruma family, he and his older brother are extremely close until the fatal crash that killed their parents and crippled him into a coma, no thanks to Kyou and his underlings.


  • An Arm and a Leg: Kakeru loses his right leg in Chapter 72 as Uruma lost to Jun in the first round of "Rock, Papers, Scissors".
  • Break the Cutie: The car crash that murdered his parents the coma that Kyou placed him in are both enough to traumatize the poor kid. Keep in mind that he was 6 WHEN IT HAPPENED.
  • Children Are Innocent: Is very kind towards both his older brother, Shun and their parents. He was even happy when his brother showed him a abandoned kitten that they wanted to care for.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: If getting placed in a coma by Kyou wasn't enough, he gets stabbed to death by Kyou, effectively turning Shun onto their captors, WITH THE CLAWS OUT AT FULL FORCE.
  • Scars Are Forever: His body and face are covered in scars when Kyou beats him with a rock, the burns he got from when Kyou set the car crash on fire, and the surgeries he went through.
  • Wham Episode: He finally wakes up in chapter 65. And in the following chapters afterwards shows he’s heavily traumatized from what he has seen from Kyou’s brutality.

     Mr. and Mrs. Uruma 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf65c7cc_9bc2_440e_8a6d_796947d2dd33.jpeg

The parents of Shun and Kakeru. They moved into the country side so they can stay close to their father and father-in-law’s residence in order look after his health, even though they forbid their sons from interacting with him because they’re afraid of him.


  • Deceased Parents Are the Best: Both are killed because of the deadly car crash instigated by Kyou, the ringleader of their eldest son’s bullies.
  • From Bad to Worse: Picture one of your own children confess that they’ve been horrifically bullied by a pack of sociopathic kids but your own kid refuse to name-check any of the bullies in fear of their retaliation. So you move away and transfer your child to a new school, hoping that all your problems are over and your kids are safe. Then the bullies murders you and beaten your other child into a coma.
  • Good Parents: They love their sons greatly, yet they’re disturbed by Gramps and forbid their boys from interacting with him.
  • Too Good for This Sinful Earth: For what little was shown, they were such a loving set of parents who wanted what was best for their boys and tried to protect their firstborn son when they find out he’s been bullied. This lead to a early death from the bullies themselves.

The Bullies

     As a whole 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/juujikaart.png

  • Asshole Victim: Uruma soon kills each and every one of them as slowly and gruesomely as possible, to pay back all the hell they have given him and his family. And they all deserved it.
  • For the Evulz: All of them relish in this trope and love every second of it. They have no other reason to bully Uruma and terrorize everyone else because it’s fun. Well that and to study how much bullying he can take before he’s Driven to Suicide, but that hardly counts as an excuse.
  • Hate Sink: For all their crimes that they have committed, they definitely fit this trope. Not only did they mistreat 12-year-old Uruma Shun, who tried his best to forgive his tormentors as much as possible, only for them to orchestrate an incident that took the lives of parents before beating his younger brother into a coma! And if that wasn't enough, they grew up to be criminals who commit acts of animal cruelty, kidnapping, abuse, or sexual assault, yet they don't even get hunted down by the police. And they do all of this evil shit just so they can to watch the world burn! Due to their irredeemable personalities, it should come to no surprise when Uruma kills his bullies out of rage.
  • Jerkass: To consider them as such is an Understatement!
  • Kick the Dog: Oh boy, where do we BEGIN?!
    • Senkouji Katsumi:
      • Shot Uruma with a BB Gun in their childhoods.
      • Faked his redemption to Uruma and kidnaps him and Azuma before torturing the former!
      • Chokes a cat that he cared for before murdering it!
      • Insult Uruma's family when it's Uruma's turn to torture Senkouji, resulting in the latter's death.
    • Ushiro Yuuga:
      • Kicked Uruma while riding on a bicycle in their childhoods.
      • Molested Uruma in their childhoods, causing the young boy to cry.
      • Bit the tongue of a prostitute before holding a lighter under it simply because she wanted to leave her job and go to university.
      • Kicked a man for not paying for his services.
      • Kidnapped and chained Karen up while raping her many times for a year.
      • Attempted to kill Azuma Chizuru after confirming her as the witness to his crimes before sending out his minion, Ganno, to finish her off.
    • Madoka Hiro:
    • Kuga Daichi:
      • Used Uruma as a punching bag for his "judo" sessions in their childhoods.
      • Kicked something out of Uruma's hands while berating him in class.
      • Injured many of his male peers severely under the guise of practice.
      • Raped many of his female peers.
      • Regularly abused Anna for no apparent reason before eventually killing her.
      • Beaten Uruma to a bloody pulp after tying him up before attempting to use him as a "training kit" for his planned assault on Shigoku Kyou.
    • Shigoku Kyou:
      • Asides from turning all of his friends into the monsters they are, he even went as far as nearly choking Uruma to death with a judo move!
      • Kills the cat that Uruma had been taking care of before telling him to find it in a forest, traumatizing the young boy.
      • Shoves his friend, Madoka Hiro, in front of a car that Uruma's parents and Kakeru were in before turning the car turned in a different direction, killing the parents and injuring Kakeru.
      • Beats Kakeru into a coma before setting the car he and his parents are in on fire!
      • Kills a crow for no reason.
      • Ignored Madoka Hiro from time to time due to his lack of empathy for the young boy.
      • Recruits Jun at a time in which he mistakenly believed Uruma raped his sister.
      • Runs a cult dedicated to not only ruining the lives of many innocent people, but also those of the members.
      • Appears at the hospital Kakeru is in (presumably due to Jun's disclosure of the location) before revealing himself and attempting to choke Uruma, causing him to fall into a trauma before leaving.
      • Has Kaname brutally butchered, sending her brother into despair after seeing her body.
      • Killes Kakeru with a knife in front of Uruma, causing his grandfather's attempts to save Kakeru to be meaningless.
      • Taunts Uruma before escaping from the police.
      • Tricks a kid into committing suicide.
      • Punishes the surviving cultists following the assassination of Andou and Kurusu by having them tortured and mutilated.
  • Kids Are Cruel: They make Children of the Corn look like preschoolers in comparison. And THAT’S saying something! Of course they don’t stay kids forever, but don’t change their vicious attitude, which leads to them becoming…
  • Teens Are Monsters: As if they weren’t bad enough as kids, the bullies themselves have grown up as either gangsters, rapists, or animal abusers and go out of their way to terrorize anyone within their line of sight just for the sheer heck of it.
  • Villains With Good Publicity: Varies within the bullies.
    • Senkouji Katsumi: His friendly demeanor allows everyone to view him as more of a kind and easy-going individual instead of a monster.
    • Ushiro Yuuga: Everybody from his school thinks that he is an awesome and cool person, yet little do they know that deep down in his heart is a monster who not only holds a prostitution ring where he treats his employees very badly, but had also kidnapped and raped a young girl named Karen Sakuraba for a year.
    • Madoka Hiro: Downplayed as he doesn't make any efforts into protecting his reputation.
    • Kuga Daichi: Downplayed as with Madoka, he also doesn't make any efforts into protecting his reputation, especially when he breaks the bones of his male peers while raping his female peers! It's no wonder why everyone hates his guts save for his girlfriend, Anna, whom he regularly abuses.
    • Kyou Shigoku: Not only is Kyou known by everyone to be both a school prodigy and an activist, but he has also amassed a large cult dedicated to him! Worse, due to the reputation he has, it would be hard for anyone to testify against him!
      • This is especially true after five years in which he is not only appearing on television with the reputation of a "social activist" but at the same time, he has 100,000 followers in his cult!
  • Villains Want Mercy: Whenever they’re suffering from Uruma’s torture, you can expect the bullies to beg him to stop and let them live. And you can expect THAT to always backfire in the most gruesome way possible.
  • Would Hurt a Child: All of them fits this in their own ways...
    • Madoka Hiro: Scares a little boy for staring at him before poisoning another teenage boy who resembles him.
    • Shigoku Kyou: Beats Kakeru into a coma during his childhood, nearly burns him to death in a fire, had his henchman amputate his right leg, and stabs him in the chest.
  • Would Hit a Girl:
    • Senkouji Katsumi: When torturing Uruma, he shot several nail tacks at Azuma, nearly injuring the girl had they hit her.

    • Kuga Daichi: Beats and rapes every woman he encounters (especially Anna Sukisagi).
    • Shigoku Kyou: Had Kaname brutally butchered during the "Rock, Paper, Scissors" match between Uruma and Jun.

     Kyou Shigoku 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shigoku_kyou_portrait_29.png
The leader of Uruma’s hellish Gang of Bullies. A truly sociopathic piece of work, he’s hellbent on watching the world burn by manipulating others into liting the match for him instead of getting his hands dirty. Just as it seems like Uruma is on his way to make Kyou his final target in his Roaring Rampage of Revenge, Kyou gains the upper hand with his own literal cult following, The Revolutionary Club. After the time skip, the cult has gained an extremely large following of over a thousand members, and the general public sees him as Mr. Perfect. Then Uruma comes back for round 2, ever the most determined to enacted his revenge against Kyou for ruining his life and destroying his loved ones.
  • Arc Villain: Of the Kyou Arc.
  • Arch-Enemy: Towards Uruma.
  • Ax-Crazy: Easily the worst case of this in the story, which is really saying something. Kyou is little more than a sadistic and delusional sociopath who leads others into doing absolutely horrible things and that treats things like abuse and mutilation as "games".
  • Big Bad: He is the main reason why all the events in the series happened. From manipulating a lot of people, including the bullies who, ironically, are no better than him due to the crimes they committed to participating in indirect murders and orchestrating several kidnappings, he is arguably one of the worst villains to have existed in the entire manga.
  • Bad People Abuse Animals: He plucks off the feathers of a crow and then strangles it when he grew bored of it.
  • Cult of Personality: He's the leader of the Revolutionary Club, a group of like-minded scumbags who all but worship him.
  • Dirty Coward: Rather than face off against Uruma solo as his former victim has done with the rest of the bullies, he decides to sic on him a new batch of underlings, with Kakeru’s life on the line. Uruma calls him out on this but it falls on deaf ears.
  • Dissonant Serenity: No matter what atrocities he commits, he goes about it in a perfectly calm and logical manner, as if he knew better than anyone else.
  • Enfant Terrible: Definitely. He was already an homicidal psychopath at 12, when he carried out the death of Uruma's family.
  • Faux Affably Evil: While Kyou may seem like a nice person on the outside, he has a DARK HEART on the inside as Uruma describes him as "pure evil". This is proven as Kyou is abusive, manipulative, and smug about the crimes he commits.
  • For the Evulz: In Kyou's mind, the most amazing thing a person can do is kill another person for no reason at all, and that is the goal he's striving for.
  • The Heavy: The most recurring villain of the series and masterminded all of the events in the manga
  • Hypocrite: His main goal in life is to somehow become a killer without getting blood on his hands. Then he decides to orchestrate the murder of Uruma’s parents by pushing Madoka in front of them while they’re driving by the road, leading to them to crash. After beating Kakeru bloody with a rock, he personally sets the car wreck on fire, just to make sure the entire family is dead. While Kakeru managed to survive, Kyou did intend to kill him and is still guilty for murdering the boy’s parents by setting them on fire all by himself. So much for not getting blood on his hands.
    • He tells Madoka Hiro to stop bullying a child much younger than him, acting if he became more compassionate over time, when he himself is no different from Madoka when it comes to his abusive treatment of children, particularly Kakeru. If anything, this was to prevent blowing their cover to the general public of how monstrous they are.
    • He decides to outright murder Kakeru by stabbing him from behind, THEN HE HAS THE AUDACITY to outright belittle Uruma for becoming a monster, who was doing everything he could to avenge his family that KYOU conspired to murder for his own bloodthirsty amusement. Again coming from a guy who doesn’t want to kill because he doesn’t want blood on his hands but wants to make like Charles Manson, and order his underlings to do the job for him, only to say “screw it” and go out and kill someone himself. Then he decides to criticize someone for becoming a monster when HE is in no position to criticize who is a monster when Kyou is the devil himself. You can arguably call him the biggest Hypocrite in this entire manga.
  • Karma Houdini: Downplayed. While he has gotten away with most of his crimes for 84 CHAPTERS, he had his right eye slashed in Chapter 85 by Uruma, but not without expressing pleasure...
    • By Chapter 86, Kyou manages to escape before Uruma could kill him thanks to Oota's intervention, although his right eye is still bleeding. Despite this, he still avoids facing any charges by the law enforcement for FIVE YEARS as he is still running the Revolution Club.
    • By the 100th chapter, the scratch around his right eye has already healed and he does not seem to be bothered by it anymore.
  • Manipulative Bastard: It’s because of his brainwashing and teachings that turned the bullies into the way they are. This is why Uruma considers him as his most dangerous enemy of all.
  • Meaningful Name: His last name, Shigoku, sounds very similar to "Jigoku", which in Japanese means hell.
  • No Historical Figures Were Harmed: He bears many similarities to well-known and feared cult leaders.
    • Charles Manson: Both manipulates their followers into committing murders under their orders.
    • Jim Jones: Once he gains an extremely large following, he sets up an island in the middle of nowhere and hires armed guards to patrol the grounds in case anyone tries to escape, much like how Jones manipulated his follows into joining him to a jungle in the middle of Guyana, and also had his men armed to the teeth in case anyone also tried to escape.
    • And finally, Shoko Asahara: Besides their shared Japanese nationality, both maintained a public front, particularly televised interviews, whilst looking like they’re good guys, which won over many followers. Like Manson, both manipulated their followers into committing murders.
  • The Sociopath: All the bullies have shades of this, but Kyou is definitively the one who is closest to a textbook example of a high-functioning sociopath. Not only Kyou suffers from a blatant Lack of Empathy, he is highly manipulative (to the point is heavily implied the other bullies turned out the way they did because of his influence), hides his evil behaviour behind a mask of superficial charm and has no sense of integrity or remorse from his many acts of evil. And like many high-functioning sociopaths in Real Life, Shigoku has no Freudian Excuse and has been like that since childhood.
  • Troubling Unchild Like Behavior:
  • Uncanny Valley Girl: A Rare Male Example. Even before one realizes how evil this guy is, there is something incredibly strange and disquieting about him, what with his Empty Eyes, androgynous appearence and ever-present smile.
  • Villain Has a Point: As messed up as Kyou can be, he DOES have a point towards Kuga when he stated that NO ONE should ever be allowed to assault him in any manner. His point can be justified as Kuga later had his way with his cousin, Anna, ALL BECAUSE HE THOUGHT SHE WAS KYOU.

     Katsumi Senkouji 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/senkouji_katsumi_portrait.png

He was an old friend of Uruma, until they meet Kyou, driving Katsumi to become a devoted follower and one cruel animal killer. During high school, he tries to make amends to Uruma, but could he truly trust on what his former friend is saying is true? Definitely not.


  • Arc Villain: Of the Senkouji Arc.
  • Bad People Abuse Animals: Uruma believes he was the one who killed a stray kitten he was secretly taken care of because a favorite pastime of his tormentor was to jam bugs into his BB gun and shoot into the air. When he wants to make amends with Uruma, he shows him a stray cat he’s looking after and even saves it from getting run over by a truck. But this was all a act so he can kidnap Uruma and kill him. He then shows Uruma the very same cat he had just saved moments ago and breaks its neck and then shoots at it corpse with a nail gun.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: One day he approached Uruma and tried to apologize for what he did when they were kids. He even brings up their old friendship before they met Kyou. But Uruma is suspicious yet torn if he should believe what he says is true, that someone as evil as Senkouji would turn over a new leaf so suddenly. He was right.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Uruma skins Senkouji when the latter was unconscious after getting choked by Uruma and being tied up by several ropes. In addition, when he notices how parts of his skins are peeled off, he understandably SCREAMS bloody murder. In addition, when Uruma touches the parts where his skin used to be, HE SCREAMS ONCE AGAIN as those areas are more sensitive to even the SLIGHTEST touch. Then Uruma shoots him with the same BB gun model that Senkouji once used on the him several times, He experienced so much pain that he literally dies in SHOCK as a result.
  • Faux Affably Evil: Senkouji appears to be very kind and friendly towards Uruma during the moment that they had bumped into each other when they first met. The former even took Uruma to other places on an outing just to continue their "friendship". When Uruma questioned him about the events regarding his family's death, Senkouji immediately teared-up and apologized to Uruma for all the pain that he put him through, saving a cat from a truck to prove his redemption. However, Senkouji's true colors would soon be revealed to be that of a monster, shown as when he signaled for Azuma to hold Uruma in his place as he knocks the latter down before kidnapping them and tying them up. He even murders the same cat that he supposedly saved just to prove that his "kindness" was a fake, with his true agenda revealed to be killing him.
  • Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: He tries to apologize to Uruma as he’s being tortured for all the hell he had given his former victim; proclaiming that it because of Kyou’s manipulation and teachings that brainwashed him into taking part the bullying and was forced to go along with it. Uruma doesn’t buy it because he knows that Senkouji is lying through his teeth and makes it clear he will NOT spare him from his vengeance.
  • Flaying Alive: How he goes out. Well that and dying of shock due to being shot at his sensitive areas with a BB gun.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Subverted. Senkouji is pretending to be this since his goal is to capture Uruma and kill him.
  • Hypocrite: Senkouji gets very shocked when Uruma kidnaps him and intends to kill him, even though said former did the same thing to the latter and almost killed him.
  • It's All My Fault: He goes in his knees and begs Uruma to forgive him for all the bullying he put him through back in the day, blaming himself for what Uruma had to go through. This would soon be subverted, as he didn’t mean every word because he wants to kidnap and murder him. But once Uruma has the tables turned, he drops it and blames Kyou for making him the way he was and rages out against him until he dies.
  • Karmic Death: Senkouji bullied Uruma by tying him up and shooting him with a compressed air gun. Uruma kills him by chaining him up the ceiling, peeling a large portion of his body, and shooting him with the same model, causing him to die of shock.
  • Moral Myopia: He’s shocked when Uruma kidnaps him, has just flayed him alive and intends to kill him. Never mind the fact that he kidnapped Uruma himself because he wants to kill him.
  • Never My Fault: While he’s tortured by Uruma, he blames Kyou for corrupting him and that he was only forced to take part in the bullying, despite the fact that Senkouji enjoyed every second of it with a Slasher Smile and never made any attempt to get the others to stop. When Uruma makes it clear that he’s going to die, Senkouji lashes out at him and blames him for not dying by his hands, even though it’s his fault for kidnapping him first and trying to kill Uruma.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: While Senkouji barely appeared in the manga due to being quickly killed off by Uruma after attacking the latter, his lack of redemption is the main reason why Uruma never gave his bullies a second chance to redeem themselves.
  • We Used to Be Friends: He was once good friends with Uruma until he stopped hanging out with Senkouji because he got creeped out by his cruel and wicked behavior after joining Kyou’s gang.
  • Villains Want Mercy: Once he’s at Uruma’s mercy, he tries to apologize for trying to kill him first and go to the police and confess to what he did. When he realizes that Uruma is not taking any more crap from him, he rages out at him for not dying by his hands.

     Yuuga Ushiro 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ushiro_yuuga_portrait.png

One of the most depraved members of the bullies, he leads a teen prostitution ring with an iron fist. He’s also kidnapped his girlfriend, Karen, for an entire year, and has no plans to free her anytime soon. Then Uruma comes into the picture.


     Hiro Madoka 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/madoka_hiro_portrait.png
One of Kyou’s most loyal lackeys, he’s a religious fanatic who views Kyou as a Devine being to him. He definitely has a lot of screws loose, and has his eyes set on Kaname, but Uruma has other ideas…

     Daichi Kuga 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kuga_daichi_portrait.png
Captain of the Judo team and a truly a horrific beast of a human being.
  • And Your Little Dog, Too!: When Uruma confronts him and calls him out for the murder of his parents and his comatose brother’s conditions, Kuga laughs it off and declares that after he kills him, he’ll go after Kakeru and kill him as well, just to spite him. Uruma makes him suffer dearly for it.
  • Arc Villain: Of the Kuga Arc.
  • Ax-Crazy: The most physically violent and brutish of the bullies. Beating people, breaking bones, raping women and killing people with his bare hands; Kuga is not above any of that.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Uruma breaks his joints, nearly feeds him alive to killer shrimp, and then beats his face into bloody pulp with a cinderblock. And he keeps going on and on long after he passes on, leaving what was once his face now a pile of his own brain bits.
  • Depraved Bisexual: He rapes many of his female classmates and tried to do the same to Kyou when they were kids because he has a crush on him, only to slash his face as a warning NOT to do it next time. After gaining the upper hand from his fight with Uruma and tying him up, he reveals his plans to rape Kyou but wants to “practice” first with Uruma. Fortunately for Uruma, he fights him off and ends his reign of terror, PERMANENTLY.
  • Evil Is Bigger: Both as a child and as an adolescent, Kuga is very big. And he is by far the second cruelest Bully of the group, only surpassed by Kyou.
  • Faux Affably Evil: When Kuga was younger, he offered a lollipop to his future girlfriend, Anna Sugisaki (who happens to be Kyou's cousin from their mother's side) while smiling in a friendly manner. However, his kindness towards her would be fake as he proclaims that his relationship with Anna is one-sided, implying that he never truly loved her to begin with.
  • Hate Sink:Big time, among all the bullies he's the WORST one, a brute, cruel, sadistic, RAPIST, also an ingrateful monster to his girlfriend.
  • Karmic Death: Kuga used Uruma as a training dummy for his Judo keys, he was very brutish, liked to attack his club mates, and saw himself as unbeatable in Judo. Uruma defeated him in a Judo match, breaking some of his limbs. Then, he leaves him in a barrel where there are mantis shrimps, crustaceans with a powerful blow that hit Kuga as soon as Uruma puts him in the barrel. Even if he doesn't die from torture, Uruma kills him by smashing his head with a cinderblock in a fit of rage.
  • Obviously Evil: Seriously, if his hulk-like body figure or scarred face didn’t give it away, maybe his hair literally shaped out as devil horns sticking out at the sides?!
  • Rasputinian Death: Out of all the bullies, Kuga got easily the most drawn-out and convoluted death. First, he gets brutally beaten by Uruma during their Judo duel. Second, he gets lowered into barrel full of boiling water and mantis shrimp (which have a supersonic natural weapon and cut their way into his skin). Kuga gets saved from this death trap by Anna, and briefly manages to get the upper hand on Uruma before getting beaten again. Uruma then finishs him of by hitting his head with a brick until it completely breaks open. Kuga deserved every single one of these things, but you can't say that he went down easy.
  • Serial Rapist: Kuga raped several of his female teammates, and even planned on doing the same to Uruma and Kyou.
  • Ungrateful Bastard: How does he thank Anna for saving him from Uruma’s torture devices? he rapes her to death because he started to have hallucinations that she was Kyou. Uruma calls him out on this, but his response is to call her feelings as one-sided.

Classmates

     Chizuru Azuma 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ef8798ac_bd30_42c3_8922_aa40cf639f95.jpeg

A girl from Uruma’s class, she’s not exactly the brightest bulb in the drawer, but tries help him out in any way she can. She has a big crush on Uruma and will do anything for him to notice her.


  • Becoming the Mask: When her friends pressure her into revealing who she has a crush on, she randomly chooses Uruma in order to get them to back off. She ends up genuinely falling for him after he saves from from a rapist.
  • Bring My Brown Pants: Has this during Senkouji's torture of Uruma.
  • Genki Girl: And how.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: Played for laughs, as Azuma gets pretty jealous whenever Uruma is around Kaname.
  • Final Girl: Is this for Part I as the majority of the female cast has been murdered.
  • Morality Pet: Is this to Jun Shirakawa following the death of his sister during the Jun arc. She is the reason why he manages to snap out of Kyou's indoctrination before committing suicide.
  • Stalker with a Crush: Whenever she’s not talking to Uruma, you can expect her to secretly follow him around, especially if he’s with Kaname.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Let’s just say she doesn’t think to hard out of the box whenever it comes to life threatening decisions, yet Uruma is always around to save her. Some of the examples include-
    • Not taking the chance to escape when a classmate tricked her into joining Ushiro’s prostitution ring.
    • Even after Uruma threatens to kill her if she ever sold him out to the police, she still continued to romantically pursue him.

     Kaname Shirakawa 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cd49c5c6_f6b2_4e5c_9d3e_53d71daab84e.jpeg

The most popular girl in school and a old childhood friend of Uruma who he forgot about until they met again in high school. She’s a really sweet girl and wishes she and Uruma can be more than friends.


  • An Arm and a Leg: LITERALLY, as she lost a right arm and a left leg by the end of Chapter 74!
  • Break the Cutie: As if being a former victim of Kyou’s Gang of Bullies wasn’t bad enough, getting raped by Madoka BROKE her. She eventually recovers. Until Chapter 74 in which Momoki (one of Kyou's researchers behind kidnapping Kakeru and Kaname and the one who possibly mutuliated Kaname) wheels a lifeless Kaname on a large cart with a missing right arm and a left leg.
  • The Cutie: Very sweet and kind demeanor, with a golden heart to match. Madoka and Kyou’s cultists weed it out of her.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Having her right arm and her left leg chopped off by Momoki as a result of Jun losing 2 rounds is one of the most horrific things that ever happened to her, especially when she has suffered enough. This was ostensibly averted by Chapter 141 as she reappears at the Kitami Clinic for an "incurable disease", only to reveal that said person is actually a look-alike of Kaname.
  • Easily Forgiven: She admits that due to her budding friendship to Uruma, Kyou’s gang made him their new target, and she feels extremely guilty for moving away not long after this. But Uruma holds nothing against her. Considering how Kyou killed his parents and crippled his little brother into a coma because of him changing his “guinea pig” from Kaname to Uruma, this speaks volumes of how forgiving Uruma is towards Kaname.
  • Got Volunteered: She and Uruma are randomly chosen for the lead roles of Romeo and Juliet by their classmates, with no say to the matter. While Uruma is horrified, Kaname is flustered but secretly happy to pair up together with her crush.
  • Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: The volume 7 cover depicts her with blonde hair, along with Innocent Blue Eyes to reflect her demeanor and kind heart.
  • Head-Turning Beauty: Even Uruma himself seems enamored but shy around her. But a lot of the boys at their school have the hots for her. Unfortunately, so does Madoka.
  • Innocent Blue Eyes: She’s truly a pure-hearted individual, and the volume 7 cover shows off her blue eyes to back this up.
  • Nice Girl: Is genuinely sweet and very kind to everyone.
  • No One Could Survive That!: Her right arm and left leg are cut off by Kyou’s underlings and left to bleed out, as her brother hugs her lifeless body. Come chapter 141, she comes back alive and well, only to reveal in the next chapter that that "Kaname" isn't the one who was involved in the incident years ago, but rather someone who looks exactly like her and shares the same name.
  • Patient Childhood Love Interest: She’s in love with Uruma ever since they were kids, but wants to wait for his response towards her Love Confession once the School Festival is over.
  • Posthumous Character: Of the Jun and Momoki arcs.
  • School Idol: She’s revered by her classmates as the “School Madonna” due to her beauty. Unfortunately, it eventually leads to the wrong kind of attention from the wrong sources.
  • Secret-Keeper: Uruma tells her that he killed her rapist, Madoka, so that she can move on from the trauma. She’s grateful for his gesture.
  • Sex for Solace: After suffering from Madoka’s rape, she eventually goes to a hotel with Uruma and confides with him of her trauma. She tearfully asks Uruma if he can “overwrite” those memories. In the immediate next panel, they commit the deed. While Uruma is having sex with her in a rather aggressive way, Kaname enjoyed it, as she hugs him, then one hand grips the sheets, as she passionately calls his name.
  • Shrinking Violet: She’s often very shy around Uruma, but sometimes works up the courage to be more bold with her growing attraction towards him.
  • Single Woman Seeks Good Man: The reason she fell in love with Uruma is because he comforted her on a rainy day after suffering from the five bullies torment. They soon became fast friends, but this resulted in the bullies making Uruma their next target. She moved away not long after this, but felt extremely guilty for what he went through, but Uruma proclaims that it wasn’t even her fault to begin with and quickly forgives her.
  • Stepford Smiler: She essentially takes Uruma on a date with her at an amusement park and arcade, happy to be at his company. She proclaims that she’s doing fine since they last met and she’s over her ordeal from suffering at Madoka’s hands. But it doesn’t take long for her to crack and break down, which leads to a Sex for Solace moment with Uruma. She gets better. Until her death by the end of Chapter 74.
  • Tareme Eyes
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Because she was unwilling and felt ashamed to tell Jun the truth of who actually raped her, this only sent him on a dark path that would lead him to becoming a member of the Revolution, kidnapping Uruma’s remaining family, having them, along with her, indirectly killed.

     Jun Shirakawa 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_4037.jpeg
An old friend from Uruma’s elementary school, now attending the same High school, and Kaname’s older twin brother. He’s very protective of her yet he ships Uruma with her.
  • Affably Evil: Pre-timeskip: Despite his anger towards Uruma, he eventually understands that Kyou was cruel to begin with, and thus, in spite of his participation in the crimes that he possibly committed with Kyou, he attempts to make amends with Uruma by allowing him to beat him in the rest of the rounds of "Rock, Paper, Scissors". Too bad it would eventually cost his sister's limbs as a result. By the post-timeskip, all of this is gone as Jun has became a full-fledged monster who tortures multiple women AND their families, although this is played straight with Azuma, who he genuinely cares for, knowing that she is an innocent person.
  • Alas, Poor Villain: Despite having become a villain without any redeeming characteristics, one can't help but feel terrible for this guy after his sister got raped and murdered, spiraling him into a path of darkness...While this certainly doesn't excuse the crimes he commit during the post-timeskip, it's hard not to feel bad for this guy after the suffering his sister went through...
  • Anti-Villain: After mistakenly believing Uruma to be the one who sexually assaulted his sister, he joins Kyou's cult with the intention of avenging his sister, even though there was little he knew of what really happened and that he’s ironically serving the same person behind the man who attacked his sister in the first place. By the post-timeskip, it is no longer the case since Jun has became an absolute monster, although this does get reverted back later on.
  • Arc Villain: Of the Jun Arc.
  • Ate His Gun: How he goes out in Chapter 154.
  • The Bad Guy Wins: Not only did Jun get away with ruining many people's lives, but at the same time, he didn't suffer the consequences for doing so! Worse, the clones whose lives he ruined have committed suicide, making this arc to be the first arc since the Kyou arc in which Uruma failed to save everyone! (with the exception of Azuma, who survived in this arc)
  • Because You Were Nice to Me: In Chapter 153, despite kidnapping Azuma, he never tortured or hurt her in any way as he chose to take her somewhere safe and away from his torture of Uruma as he decides to torture a doppelganger in front of Uruma to torture him.
  • Becoming the Mask: Initially, he pretended to make Azuma Chizuru suffer in front of Uruma just to spite the latter. However, after Azuma foiled his ruse, he even thought about making her suffer for real just to continue spiting Uruma...until memories of his friendship with Azuma and Uruma resurfaces in his mind, snapping him out of this state.
  • Bring My Brown Pants: Has this when he hugs his lifeless sister in Chapter 75.
  • Big Brother Instinct: He pulls a Nightmare Face when he thinks Uruma is dating his sister, yet it turns out he actually does ships them together. He gives his blessing for him and Kaname to be together, but makes it clear to never harm her, or else. After Madoka’s assault of Kaname, he mistakenly believes that it was Uruma, and joins together with Kyou to take him down. But this would end VERY badly for everyone, especially Kaname.
  • Bully Turned Buddy: Inverted by the post-timeskip. After the death of his sister, he becomes so bitter that he decides to make Uruma suffer out of pure spite.
  • Dirty Coward: Tells Uruma to stay at a specific spot of the bridge before walking many feet away from him, before reminding Uruma that he was the one who shot him with a gun, causing him to fall down a bridge. RIGHT BEFORE HE FIRED HIS GUN AT URUMA AGAIN. This shows that not only is he aware of how powerful Uruma is and his capability to disarm him had he been caught, but at the same time, he's willing to use dirty tactics to attack his enemies! Worse, despite all the bad things he has done, he not only fails to be properly punished for his actions, but even went as far as committing suicide, making him the only villain in the manga to never receive any proper comeuppance.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Combined with Misplaced Retribution, in retaliation for Uruma's alleged assault of his sister, he not only had Uruma's family killed, but at the same time, he abused many women he tricked into becoming his "Kanames" while kidnapping Azuma Chizuru, one of the few remaining people who loved Uruma, and making all of them suffer.
  • Driven to Suicide: Jun commits suicide after memories of his friendship with Uruma and Azuma resurfaces. After realizing how much he made them suffer, he commits suicide out of shame and disgust for his actions. Interestingly, this makes him the first villain in the manga series to commit suicide in stark contrast to the majority of of the villains, who are killed off by the protagonist, while this makes him the second character in the series to do so after Karen Sakuraba.
  • Even Evil Has Standards:
    • Jun is horrified that one of Kyou's researchers cut off Kakeru's right leg as a result of Uruma losing the first round of "Rock, Papers, Scissors". He tries to leave the game as he knew that such a game would eventually lead to Uruma's brother's death. Unfortunately, he isn't given that choice, so he decides to throw the rest of the match at Uruma’s favor. This ends badly for everyone.
    • Despite his face-heel turn, he refused to kill or torture the real Azuma Chizuru as she didn’t do anything wrong. Instead, he simply has her watch Uruma through security footage…
    • After regaining his memories of his friendship with Uruma and Azuma, he not only realizes how much trouble he caused for his friends, but, upon mistaking Azuma for his late sister due to his own hallucination, he commits suicide via gunshot.
  • Evil All Along: Chapter 142 seems to have redeemed Jun's wickedness by showing him as a doctor years later, who seems friendly to Uruma, in spite of his vengeance towards the Revolution Club... However, with the relevation that Jun was the abusive boyfriend that "Juujika" were to initially target, his abuse of the Matsushima family angered Uruma so much that he confronted Jun about the incident, only for one of his victims to show up to Jun's defense in order to help him escape Uruma's wrath. In addition, Jun is much worse that he was during the pre-timeskip thanks to Kyou's further brainwashing of him during the years Uruma was imprisoned, as shown when he dated multiple girls he coerced into dressing up as his late twin sister. Worse, he even went as far as kidnapping Azuma Chizuru and was revealed to be the person who shot Uruma with a gun on the day that Uruma lost his memories!
  • Face–Heel Turn: Zig-zagged. He ends up becoming this by the end of Chapter 63 due to thinking that Uruma had raped his sister, when it was actually Madoka. However, this becomes inverted later on as he realized how much of a victim Uruma was. Sadly, this was inverted back to this trope as he was not only escorted out of the elementary school before the police could arrest them, but at the same time, he was revealed to be the abusive boyfriend to Kaname Matsushima, who has the same face and same name as his younger sister, proving that he ended up becoming a perverted stalker who would force his girlfriends to take on his sister's appearance. In addition, he even enslaved one of his girlfriends' family into playing the role of his own, threatening to hurt them had they not complied with his expectations! He even goes as far as kidnapping Azuma Chizuru and was revealed to be the one who shot Uruma with a gun around a year ago! Despite this, it gets inverted later on as he realizes how far he went….
  • Faux Affably Evil: Becomes this by the post-timeskip as shown when he acts friendly to Uruma after having seemingly recovered from the abuse the Revolution Club had put him through, only to reveal a lustful, obsessed control freak who abuses multiple women into donning the appearance of his late twin sister inside him.
  • Foreshadowing:
    • In Chapter 141, we see Kaname having survived the attack that Kyou inflicted on her. However, the fact that she retains the exact same appearance from 5 years ago is pretty odd. In addition to Jun having just called Uruma earlier, this strongly foreshadows Jun's surgery on multiple women with the same hiragana characters as his late sister's names.
    • In Chapter 142, as Uruma and Jun are communicating, the screen on Jun's phone turns on, revealing multiple women sharing his late sister's face and appearance. If anything, this is an indicator that he is not only the abusive boyfriend that Kaname Matsushima described him to be, but at the same time, a monster who kidnapped all the "Kanames" into playing the role of his late sister. Furthermore, the fact that Jun did confirm his sister's death from six years ago also raises the question of how the other "Kaname" is alive. If anything, it hints at something more malicious about his character.
    • In Chapter 143, as Uruma contemplates on whether to trust Jun, an abrupt flashback of a person pointing a gun at him appears in his mind. Since such memories don't trigger unless strongly associated with a particular person, item, or object, this indicates that Jun was the one who not only shot Uruma with a gun on the day he met Kitami, but at the same time, indirectly caused his memory loss.
    • In Chapter 144, when Kaname Matsushima takes a shower at a place, her boyfriend, who is revealed to be none other than Jun Shirakawa, crushes the GPS tracker placed on his shirt while muttering Uruma's name in contempt, before acting as if he understood Uruma later on. If anything, this is a strong indicator that not only is his alliance with Uruma fake, but at the same time, he would hold a grudge against him over the attack on his sister in the past, thus prompting him to get revenge. Furthermore, after Oota notices that Kaname Shirakawa's appearance in a photo before her death matches the same with another "Kaname", it only goes to prove that Jun has done something with different women.
    • Chapter 146 shows Kyou and his minions receiving news about Jun Shirakawa from a cultist. Since the Revolution Club only keeps check on those who are part of it, this is a strong indicator that Jun is still part of the cult, revealing his true colors.
    • Chapter 147 has Jun having his men kidnap Azuma under the pretense of still being a friend to her all those years. Since it is unusual for him to have those men working for him, it not only indicates his loyalty to the Revolution Club, but at the same time, plans on using Azuma to make Uruma suffer later on.
  • Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: Uruma’s Inner Monologue discusses the pain he felt in Kaname’s demise, thus felt just as heartbroken as Jun. He was willing to forgive and work together with Jun, even after the knowledge of Jun’s involvement with Kyou’s cult as a means to infiltrate. However, Uruma is rightfully enraged that Jun fully embraces Kyou’s teachings while happily joining hands with Kaname’s actual killers to “get back” at Uruma, especially as Jun denies any fault he had in his sister’s death, and is especially furious that he rapes and orders Azuma killed out of spite. Uruma decides right then and there not to give Jun a free pass on his “grief” and declares that he WILL kill him.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: He went from a harmless, yet friendly and easy-going to a wrathful, hypocritical, and illogical monster who wants others to suffer simply because his sister was killed by the same club he works for...
  • Hate Sink: If getting his sister and Uruma's family killed wasn't enough, his intercourse of multiple women while forcing them to don his sister's appearance is even more messed up. In addition, not only did he enslave a family into acting like his own, but at the same time, he even went as far as kidnapping Azuma Chizuru and was revealed to be the person who shot Uruma with a gun on the day that Uruma lost his memories! He even went as far as raping Azuma Chizuru just to spite Uruma before having her mutilated by his goons. He becomes so detestable that he makes Kyou look nice in comparison! This, however, becomes downplayed as it was revealed that the day prior to his confrontation with Uruma, he actually took the real Azuma Chizuru somewhere away and safe from his torture of Uruma as he still cares for her.
  • Heel Realization: After Jun regains his memories of his friendship with Uruma and Azuma following his release from Kyou's indoctrination, he realizes how much suffering he put his friends through, and as a way to make amends, he commits suicide via gunshot.
  • Hypocrite: Despises the Revolutionary Club for what they did to his sister when said person got his sister hurt and brutally killed in the first place due to rushing to judgement. Worse, he claims to despise the Revolutionary Club when in reality, he is actually working for them the entire time as he manipulates Uruma into trusting him just to finish him off upon learning of his survival from the attack many years ago... He takes this further by NOT only raping Azuma in front of Uruma, but even went as far as having his goons hacking off an Azuma doppelgänger’s limbs in the same manner as Kaname, making him no different from the type of "rapist" he despised.
  • Idiot Ball: Despite his intentions to avenge his sister, his actions had also led to the researchers kidnapping his sister as someone who he would lose if he doesn't beat Uruma in the game. Eventually, his sister does get killed off when he lost to Uruma in the game twice.
  • Insane Troll Logic: He blames Uruma for Kaname’s rape and eventual death but he decides the next best coarse of action is to join forces with Kaname’s actual killers! Uruma rightfully points out that they’re the ones responsible for Kaname’s death, but Jun refuses to listen to any reasoning and condemns Uruma for all of HIS suffering, while denying anything wrong that he’s largely at fault for.
  • Jerkass: Becomes this by the post-timeskip as he kidnapped many women and forced them into being his "Kanames", tried to kill Uruma at some point, continues working for the Revolution Club, kidnaps Uruma and the police and forces them to watch his horror theater, rapes Azuma Chizuru in front of Uruma, AND has his goons hack off her limbs to spite Uruma! However, this becomes downplayed as Jun actually protected the real Azuma Chizuru from his revolutionary club soldiers as he took her somewhere safe and away from his torture of Uruma as the one he killed in front of Uruma was a doppelganger.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite kidnapping Azuma, he still cares about her as he protected her from having to be used as a tool for torturing Uruma as Jun uses a doppelganger instead of the real Azuma just to torture Uruma.
    • Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: However, when Uruma discovers that Jun pretended to hurt Azuma just to spite him, Jun planned on making Azuma suffer for real, turning him into this trope. If anything, it only made his protection of Azuma seem as if he only cared more for himself than anyone else. Until memories of his friendships resurfaced...
  • Killed Off for Real: Commits suicide in Chapter 154 after memories of his friendship with Uruma resurfaces. Imagination of his sister’s presence certainly didn’t help either.
  • Knight Templar Big Brother: When he thinks that it was Uruma that assaulted his sister, he joins forces with Kyou. Little did he know, he’s dealing with the ringleader of Kaname’s former bullies, one of them who’s actually responsible for her assault in the first place. Then Jun engages in a deadly match of rock-paper-scissors with Uruma, while Kakeru’s life is at stake. But he doesn’t care because he wants Uruma to suffer like Kaname did. That is until Kyou’s cultists cut off Kakeru’s right leg with a chainsaw does he have a change of heart, but Kaname suffers the consequences BADLY.
  • Manipulative Bastard: Is this during the post-timeskip. Unlike his personality during the pre-timeskip, Jun is not only misogynistic, but at the same time, he tricks Azuma and Uruma into falling for his traps!
  • Misplaced Retribution: Blames Uruma for raping his sister when it was Madoka who had actually caused her suffering. The kicker? Chapter 151 reveals that he eventually knew that it was Madoka who committed the crime, yet he still hates Uruma for turning Kaname into a “sex slave” just because he saw the two of them go into a hotel, but it was for different reasons. Even when Uruma reveals that he never harmed Kaname in any way, Jun bluntly admits he doesn’t care.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Has this when his victory in the first round of "Rock, Paper, Scissors" led to Kakeru getting his right leg chopped off by Andou Midori. He decides to make up for it by throwing the rest of the match in Uruma’s favor, but Kyou has other plans…
    • After realizing how far he went, he felt so guilty that he committed suicide as a result…
  • Never My Fault: Blames Uruma for the suffering and death of his sister while HE refuses to admit any role in causing Kaname's death, even when Uruma already states that Kyou and Momoki (whom Jun had joined forces) are responsible for her death.
  • Posthumous Character: Along with Kaname, he becomes this for the Momoki arc, which is why Juujika chose to take their revenge on Momoki instead.
  • Shipper on Deck: Even though he’s protective of Kaname, he’s surprisingly very supportive of his sister’s feelings towards Uruma and tries to hook them up, but makes it clear not to ever hurt her in any way. He drops this when he mistakenly believes that Uruma raped her.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: By the events of the post-timeskip, he's become a lot worse than he was when he betrayed Uruma over the delusion that his friend raped his younger sister. When getting Uruma's family killed wasn't worse enough, Jun abusing multiple of his girlfriends with his younger sister's appearance was even worse as one could imagine the sheer horror the girls had to face when dealing with him.
    • Worse, Jun became so evil that he makes Uruma look GOOD in comparison (justified as Uruma would never resort to measures as extreme as that of Kyou or his fellow members).
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Because he took part in kidnapping Kakeru Uruma to avenge his sister, this only led to the researchers holding his sister hostage and killing her after Jun lost to Shun twice!
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: Is nowhere to be seen after Kyou escaped before getting arrested. However, it could be possible that he and Andou kidnapped him to either brainwash him more or murder him to avoid having witnesses on their tails. Finally averted by Chapter 141 in which he makes a phone call to the Kitami Clinic trying to talk to Uruma, seemingly caring about him, only to reveal that he tried to assassinate Uruma in the past.
  • Walking Spoiler: It’s hard not to talk much about him without revealing he thinks Uruma raped Kaname (when really it was Madoka) and SNAPS. Or that he joins Kyou’s cult and becomes just as insane as the bullies. Or that he snaps out of it and switch sides after Kakeru’s right leg is cut off by the cultist and then loses his sister as a result of wanting to make up to Uruma.

The Police

     Anzai Zenichi 
A cop who’s investigating the recent disappearance of Uruma’s bullies, he’s quick to suspect that he may know something out it, but prefers to stand by and wait to see what he’s up too.
  • Ambiguously Evil: Whether he killed his bullies or not is left ambiguous. However, he does question himself if Uruma ever repeated the same actions that he did, implying that he may have done so...
  • Anti-Hero: Is this given that he appears to be interested in arresting Uruma for no damn reason other than his desire to teach him a "sense of justice". In addition, it is left ambiguous as to whether he really did murder his bullies. Despite this, he truly cared about Uruma more than the audience thought he did.
  • Death by Irony: Anzai was initially presented as somewhat of a despicable character due to not seemingly doing anything about the crimes the bullies are committing and only getting involved whenever Uruma is mentioned and also for not being affected by the events at all. Chapter 57 averts this as it revealed that (from his perspective) he didn't have enough evidence to prove that the bullies are the ones who committed the crime of murdering Uruma's parents and beating his little brother up (partly due to Uruma's unwillingness to admit that he was being bullied and possibly due to the fact that the bullies are unwilling to confess to their crimes). Because of this, as more and more of his sympathetic traits finally show up, he was immediately killed off when he tried to help Uruma redeem himself after witnessing the aftermath of his murder of Kuga.
  • Everyone Has Standards:
    • As soon as he finds Uruma on top of Kuga after murdering him, he was very shocked at what he just witnessed.
    • When he first approaches the bullies, he is disturbed by how they have the potential to kill other people.
    • Even when he could have quit the investigation of Uruma, he decided to, once and for all, get involved during Uruma's fight with Kuga to prevent him from becoming a monster. Sadly, this wouldn't end well for the detective.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite his questionings of Uruma and his supposed antagonistic nature, he genuinely wants to prevent Uruma from becoming a monster. Sadly, it didn't end well for him. However, Chapter 79 revealed that he planted a voice recorder by the side of the shed to record his entire encounter with Uruma, making it ambiguous as to whether he really wanted to help Uruma redeem himself or only cared about arresting him.
  • It's All My Fault: Has this in Chapter 58 after blaming himself for not having been there for Uruma, causing him to fall into a path of darkness, before Uruma kills him.
  • Police Are Useless: He previously investigated the car crash that killed Uruma’s parents and led to his brother in a coma, yet never suspected the bullies had any part of it, despite Uruma having damning evidence with their phone call and the time placement. Although he did make it clear to his grandpa that he wants no part of the law enforcement’s help and would rather handle things himself.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: Despite only appearing in some chapters of Part 1 himself, the recording of his death would allow Oota to arrest Uruma, thus preventing him from killing Kyou that would lead to the events of Part 2...
    • This only made another woman with the same surname as him wanting to avenge him by wanting to kill Uruma at some point in the story...
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Sort of. Because he did not investigate the case of Uruma's family's death, this only gave Uruma more time to prepare for the time of his revenge, as well as being able to kill off 4 of his bullies. Anzai even went as far as apologizing to Uruma for not stopping him from a monster (although that isn't completely true as Uruma himself refrained from killing other innocent people such as Kaname Shirakawa and Azuma Chizuru).
    • Heck, this is more or less true depending on his intentions in approaching Uruma during the Kuga arc. The fact that he recorded his entire interaction with Uruma only allows Oota to later arrest the teenager and prevent him from killing Kyou, placing him in prison for five years while the psychopath might be out there doing some bad stuff, setting off the events of Part 2...
    • Worse, another woman sharing his last name (possibly his daughter or wife/fiancee) ends up receiving news of this, prompting her to avenge him by trying to exact revenge on Uruma

     Oota Asako 
A police officer partnered up with Anzai Zenichi to investigate the case of the disappearance of the bullies.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Although she may be very nice to almost anyone she meets, she is, after all, still a police officer and you can get arrested by her!
  • Break the Cutie: As she finds out that Uruma was the one responsible for Anzai Zenichi's death due to hearing evidence from a voice recorder, she was heartbroken to find out that the innocent and kind boy that she thought Uruma was actually a murderer who cares more about revenge than anything else.
  • Character Development: She pretty much went from a klutzy and naive police officer to a far more serious one following Anzai's death...
  • Everyone Has Standards:
    • At some point, she dated a man who was revealed to be a part of the Revolution Club. Despite his attempts to recruit her, she refuses to date him again after discovering how twisted he is...
    • As soon as she sees the play where Jun reenacts the events surrounding the incidents with his sister in his own twisted, delusional way, she becomes completely shocked and horrified at the parts when the actors impersonating Uruma and Kaname starting having sex before hanging themselves...
    • Vows to have Jun and his cult arrested despite having been captured by him.
    • After seeing Azuma's doppelganger beheaded, she gets so shocked that she calls Jun out for what he did to her.
  • Hero Antagonist: Heavily downplayed for the majority of the time (with the exception of Chapter 79 as Oota initially thought that Uruma was an innocent boy [which, ironically, he was when he was younger before becoming cold as a teenager]). They even have a genuine friendship as she shares her house with Uruma. However, once she finds out about the ordeal involving Uruma killing Anzai, she temporarily loses her respect towards him and arrests him several chapters later. Despite this, she doesn't hold any grudges towards Uruma during the Jun arc...
  • Nice Girl: Oota is generally a friendly, kind, and easygoing police officer. Despite her constant attempts to act serious all the time, she generally wants to be helpful towards other people, especially Uruma when his house got burned down by one of Kuga's goons. However, she does end up being less respectful towards Uruma following evidence of Anzai's death, although this does become downplayed after she and Uruma see each other again 5 years later.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Ends up being this as her arrest of Uruma not only prevents the teenager from murdering Kyou, but also allows the latter to recruit more and more criminals.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: Averted; it may seem as if she was never to be heard from again ever since Chapter 88. However, this is completely averted as she returned in Chapter 106 to investigate "Juujika-san".
  • What the Hell, Hero?
    • Part I: Tells Uruma that she'll never forgive him if she finds out that he truly murdered Anzai Zenichi (even though the truth was out to begin with).
    • Part II: Tries delivering it to him after he knocks Anzai Mizuki out before doing the same to her.

The Revolution Club

     As a whole 
A cult dedicated to Kyou Shigoku, they are introduced in Chapter 65. Contrary to their title, these people actually brainwash and torture anyone joining their cult relish every second of it!
  • Asshole Victim: You can expect any of them to suffer the consequences when they are either killed off or beaten up by Gramps and Uruma!
  • For the Evulz: As they’re all a bunch of loyal cultists towards Kyou, it’s a given. Ando will proudly proclaim it to.
    “I’ll do anything to inflict pain! That’s my way of having fun! It gets me going!”
  • Hate Sink: While not on the outwardly detestable level of the bullies who followed Kyou and his gang, they still manage to fit this trope as their sadistic, twisted ways of finding fun through torturing other people makes them this. It’s even more messed up as they’re willing to follow Kyou every command as a cult without a shred of remorse.
  • Sycophantic Servant: All of them literally worship the ground Kyou walks on, and their boss has no issue with encouraging them to either hang themselves or execute whoever fails him. And it doesn’t deteriorate their devotion to Kyou.
  • Would Hurt a Child: Three of the Revolution Club members treated Kakeru very badly...

     Andou Midori 
A member of the Revolution Club. Contrary to his appearance, he is actually one of the strongest fighter in the entire manga behind Gramps.
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/andou_midori_portrait_29.png

  • Arc Villain: Of the Andou Arc.
  • Asshole Victim: One of the most cruelest characters that can give Kyou and the Gang of Bullies a run for their money, suffers a well-deserving agonizing death at the hands of Uruma.
  • Bad People Abuse Animals: After the timeskip, we’re reintroduced to this douche as he’s killing a room full of dogs and puppies.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Uruma puts him in a bone crushing torture device, stabs his eye, then burns him alive while smashing his pedestal of Kyou.
  • Dirty Coward: Instead of fighting Gramps with his fists, he uses a chainsaw to fight him out of fear of getting killed off!
    • Somewhat downplayed as Andou is more than willing to put his life on the line when it comes to protecting Kyou from any attacks, not minding if he gets injured.
  • Faux Affably Evil: Although he talks in a respectful way, his typical facial demeanor, as well as his sadistic personality, shows that he isn't nice to begin with, and once he starts fighting Gramps, he drops his polite facade and becomes outright nasty.
  • Four Eyes, Zero Soul: Wears himself a pair of glasses and his humanity is as empty as the vacuum of space itself.
  • Hypocrite: Despises those he perceives as being "weak" when said person himself would resort to using a weapon that would show how weak another person is.
  • I Resemble That Remark!: He’s offended when Uruma calls him a Dirty Coward because he chooses to fight Gramps with a chainsaw instead of fighting with their fists. He responds by charging at Gramps… with his chainsaw still in hand. Then he tries to kill Kakeru, a defenseless little boy but Gramps takes the hit, until Kyou finishes the job on Kakeru. Proving once and for all that as much as Ando will deny it, he’s a pathetic coward though and through.
  • Jerkass: Reveals his very cruel and sadistic attitude once Uruma calls him out for being a coward by using a chainsaw to fight Gramps instead of fighting him one-on-one with their fists. He even enjoys killing "weaklings" such as Kakeru, Momoki, and Gramps (who sacrificed himself to save Kakeru).
  • Karma Houdini: Downplayed. While Uruma DID manage to kick him in the face after the cultist restrained him earlier, he has not faced any retribution for his participation in the murder of Gramps AND even escaped with Kyou before the two of them could be arrested. Until his torture at the hands of Uruma, however.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: Averted in Chapter 104 as it was revealed that he was active in Kyou's cult since their escape from the police back in Chapter 86.

     Momoki Sana 
A member of the Revolution Club. Despite her affiliation with the Club, she plays the least active role compared to the other Revolution members.
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/momoki_sana_portrait_29_7.png

  • Arc Villain: Of the Momoki arc.
  • Dirty Coward: Not only did she use Kakeru as a human shield, but the moment that Andou attempts to kill her and Kakeru, she LITERALLY dropped Kakeru on the floor before running away in order to save her own neck!
  • Faux Affably Evil: Although she maintains a polite speech towards a revolutionary club soldier in Chapter 159, she feels nothing but pleasure towards the soldier's pain after injecting him with a poisonous drug.
  • Hate Sink: She's a sadistic monster who takes pleasure in the suffering of others, in addition of being a repulsive coward who needs to use a little kid dirty to save her skin, and a murderer responsible of Kaname's death. It's obvious that Momoki is wrote so that the reader rotts for Uruma to brutalize her.
  • Karma Houdini: Downplayed, while she didn't receive any retribution for her participation in the kidnapping and eventual murder of Uruma's remaining family members, she hasn't suffered the consequences that badly as she is seen five years later, having already been recovered from the pain by Uruma's kick.
  • Villain Respect: After Jun committed suicide, she had her henchman, Masashi Nakamura, take his body from his hideout before remarking how happy she is for him after he managed to impress both her and Kyou for his torture of Uruma. However, the authenticity of her respect towards him is left ambiguous.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: Like Jun, she was also nowhere to be seen after getting kicked in the face by Uruma and following the events of the police arresting the latter... However, given that a kick in the face wouldn't be enough to kill her and that the police found five corpses in the building (including Kaname), one can deduce that she regained enough consciousness from the hit to escape the building before getting arrested. This was eventually confirmed in Chapter 104 in which she, along with Andou and two other unidentified cult members, were seen entering a room to meet up with their boss.

     Miguel 
A member of the Revolution Club. Although he appears to be very intimidating, he talks in a very cordial manner. However, that does not make him any less twisted than his other co-workers.
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/miguel_portrait_29_7.png

  • Faux Affably Evil: He may talk in a very polite manner towards everyone, although underneath him is another twisted monster.
  • Genius Bruiser: Interestingly, in spite of having a lot of strength like Kuga, he isn't as angry as the latter and prone to direct violence. Instead, he would be very calm and calculating while also using his strength to attack his enemies.
  • Hypocrite: He tells Nogi to calm down when he starts attacking a newcomer to their Club. However, Miguel would later attack the same newcomer for "talking about the Revolution Club in a certain way".
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni:
    • To Kuga. While both of them are giants with brute strength, Kuga is very bad-tempered and prone to violence and sexual assault, whereas Miguel is subtle and very calculating besides using violence at only necessary times.
    • To Nogi. Interestingly, while Nogi is a short man who is very prone to antagonizing others and assaulting them, Miguel would simply remain calm while using violence only when necessary.

     Nogi Takashi 
A member of the Revolution Club. Being the shortest of all the club members, he is the most prone to violence and is very hot-headed like Kuga.
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nogi_takashi_portrait_29.png


    Kurusu 


  • Asshole Victim: Killed by the same young girl he adopted because he manipulated and killed her adopted sister.
  • Creepy Souvenir: He keeps the arms of his victims.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Reo and Uruma put him and Ando in a medieval torture device called the “The Stork/Scavenger’s Daughter”, which forced him to crouch down until a majority of his bones break. Then Reo breaks his neck in a crushing hug and burns his remains.
  • Code Name: Used the name ”Noumi Touma” when he adopted Reo and Rio.
  • Nightmare Fetishist: He finds the shriveled hands of his slain victims arousing. Yikes.
  • Would Hit a Girl: He only kills girls because of the “thrill” it gives him.

The Kitami Clinic

    Kitami Kougo 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_4032_1.jpeg
The mysterious owner of the Kitami Clinic. Despite appearing to be a doctor, his business is actually a coverup for his assassination dealings called “Juujika”, who targets those who’re perceived as being evil.
  • Affably Evil: Despite his intimidating appearance, he seems to be very cheerful and polite towards other people.
  • Bully Hunter:
    • Ever since he was a kid, he had a strong sense of justice and didn’t have any regrets on fighting back against his schoolyard bully, even though it earned him a stern lecture from his teacher and beating from his parents.
    • What inspired him into forming Juujika was inadvertently killing his patient while performing surgery and his surprise at the wife for thanking him because said patient was an abusive husband.
  • Butt-Monkey:
    • He’s dismayed to be left out of his friends’ missions, so he “borrowed” a boat to follow them all the way to Revolution Island, then swam the rest of the way once the boat’s owner caught him stealing. And he carried a huge backpack of important items. By the time he reaches Mimi and Saki, he’s heavily exhausted on account of climbing and running around the island looking for his friends.
    • There’s his comical reaction to finding out a potential wealthy client turns out to be a 12 years old boy who lied over who he was. Later on he finds out Uruma is out drinking with Mimi, Saki, and Azuma; leaving him shocked that his friend is hanging out with a bunch a beautiful girls while he’s left with a pile of paperwork.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Being a Serial-Killer Killer, there are many lines that he won't cross:
    • He firmly believes Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil and would never commit such a vile crime.
    • Rather than killing Uruma upon meeting him in the past, he decides to take him to his place and nurse him back to health (though part of it could be that Uruma simply earned his respect for not choosing to rat him out and instead offering him some advice on disposing his victims' bodies, showing that they do have a common goal in terms of getting rid of the criminals in the world).
    • He would NEVER engage in any fecal fetishes like Gonda nor would he ever feed anyone those disgusting matters, except on Gonda but only because he enjoyed torturing his victims by feeding them his own shit, so the good doctor decided the best torture for him is A Taste of Their Own Medicine.
    • MOST IMPORTANTLY, he only targets people who are causing other people's sufferings. Thought the clients are required to pay him up first, he always had a strong sense of justice in being a Bully Hunter.
    • He’s horrified and guilt ridden from the time he accidentally killed his patient in the middle of surgery. He apologized profusely to the patient’s wife, but felt surprised that the wife was grateful to him since her husband regularly abused her. This is what inspired him to start his own assassination business.
  • Not So Stoic: In spite of his intimidating appearance, he can actually be very funny as shown when Uruma tripped and dropped his lunch on the ground!
  • Serial-Killer Killer: This is the true purpose of his job. While he is a genuine doctor, his clinic is also a front to hire clients wishing to off any cruel individual.
  • True Companions: With Uruma and Mimi. They’re both employed by Kitami, and he becomes immediately concerned when Uruma started freaking out at the mention of Kyou's name from Gonda before the cultist died from suffocation of his own fecal matters. Once Uruma restores his memories and insists on leaving them out on his revenge, Kitami and Mimi refuse to back down and make it perfectly clear they’re with him till the end.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Despite his crimes, his goal in this world is to get rid of as many criminals as possible since they could be out there hurting other people. Given the Crapsack World he lives in and his clients who suffer through it because of said Crapsack World, it’s justified.

    Mimi Kawana 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_4035_1.jpeg
A nurse employed by the clinic. Like her boss, she also helps out on his Serial-Killer Killer business.


  • The Cutie: She’s kind and helpful to the clinic.
  • Damsel out of Distress: Once she’s pinned down by a cultist, she notices Uruma’s knife and stabs her would-be rapist. She also threatens to do the same to another cultist trying to rape Saki and the two manage to escape.
  • Hospital Hottie: She’s a nurse and The Cutie. Several guys find her attractive because of this.
  • Hopeless Suitor: She has her eye on Uruma, but he’s a Clueless Chick-Magnet.
  • Genki Girl: Quite energetic on her part.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Let’s see… bright colored hair, protective older brother who ships her with Uruma, and a kind-hearted personality. Back already, Kaname? Shoot, they even have the same hairstyle but Mimi’s is shorter but their face and eye shape look similar.
  • Trash of the Titans: Uruma is shocked by how extremely messy her apartment is, and comedically horrified to find her asleep in the middle of her own laundries and trash without a care in the world.
  • True Companions: With Uruma and her boss, Kitami. She dutifully follows in Kitami’s Serial-Killer Killer business and will feel immediately concerned whenever her boss or Uruma are harmed in any way. When Uruma regains his lost memories while wishing to leave her and Kitami out of his Roaring Rampage of Revenge, they both refuses to back down and make it perfectly clear they’re with him till the end. He’s grateful for this. While she does have genuine romantic feelings towards Uruma, he’s sees her as a close friend. And although she’s comedically dismayed to have other rivals over Uruma’s affections, she still glad to stay by his side as a co-worker and a friend.

Other Characters

     Karen Sakuraba 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/e5c6523d_a193_45e1_a70f_2179c9371e93.jpeg

A classmate of Yuuga’s school, later turned girlfriend. She went missing a year ago under mysterious circumstances. Little did the general public know, she’s held captive by her boyfriend and is living in horrific conditions under his “care”


     Anna Sugisaki 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/745a4609_f392_446f_a601_b831e5ef2c42.jpeg

Kuga’s girlfriend from back when they were kids, she doubts what their classmates say about this thuggish attitude. And suffers the consequences very, VERY badly.


  • Big Eater: When Uruma tails her to a ramen restaurant, he sees her order a very large portion, which she eats in under five minutes. When we see the restaurant's scoreboard for the quickest times, she's in the top three. Specifically, all three.
  • The Farmer and the Viper: How does Kuga thank her from freeing him from Uruma’s deadly torture devices? He rapes her to death.
  • Fatal Flaw: Her blind faith in Kuga has her ignore people's warnings about him being an evil person, and even when she does come to accept they're true, she still thinks she can change him for better and comes to his aid. Kuga repays this dedication by raping and killing her.
  • Horrible Judge of Character: She’s in love with Kuga ever since they were friends from their childhood, yet dismisses what the other students warn her about him as rumors. Even when she finally sees him for what a utter bastard he is after beating her up and nearly raping her, she tries to change him back to what a “sweet kid” he was.
  • I Can Change My Beloved: When she can no longer hide from the truth any longer, she finally admits that Kuga is indeed a monster. Yet firmly believes with the love she has for him he can change for the better. Kuga doesn’t care one bit.
  • Idiot Ball: Even though Anna could have left Kuga to die during his torture, she CHOSE to save him in spite of the crap he's put her through! And he thanks her by ASSAULTING her.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: Despite her one-shot appearance during the Kuga arc, the fact that she freed Kuga and indirectly gave him some time to torture Uruma also allowed Anzai Zenichi to catch up with them, as the detective would secretly record his entire interaction with Uruma in case anything bad happens to him. This, in turn, allows Oota to pick up on the recording and later arrest Uruma for what he did to Anzai, preventing the teenager from even killing Kyou, his last target of his vengeance.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Her inability to see Kuga for the irredeemable monster he really is, and having rescued him from Uruma's torture, sentenced her to a crude death.
  • Wham Episode: Chapter 43 reveals that she’s Kyou’s cousin on their mom’s side.

    Reo Suzuyama 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_4034_1.jpeg

A newbie of the Revolution Club’s recruitment camp, she has ulterior motives against one of the cult’s strongest members, Kurusu. She befriends Uruma and protects his allie’s against their enemies.


  • Action Girl: The girl can shoot dead an entire group of rapist-cultists and fights down Kurusu.
  • Big Damn Heroes: She guns down cultists right as they were about to ravish Mimi and Saki.
  • Big Sister Instinct: She swears vengeance against Kurusu because he killed her adopted sister, Rio.
  • Birds of a Feather: She gets along swell with Uruma, because she looked into his background and felt inspired enough to go on her own Roaring Rampage of Revenge. By the time they coincidentally crash into each other while the respective party is dishing out their revenge against Ando and Kurusu, they team up to torture their enemies together.
  • But Now I Must Go: Once she’s finished her Roaring Rampage of Revenge, she insists to Uruma that she must leave but hopes they’ll meet again in the future.
  • Comically Serious: She’s not the first and certainly not the last to join this trope. Determined to get her bloodthirsty revenge on Kurusu, she’s also has her comedic and energetic moments.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Her parents died while they were in a brutal car crash. She was bullied while in an orphanage, and her only friend during that time was a young girl named Rio. They’re both adopted by Kurusu, and she gets jealous of his closeness to Rio, since they both had a crush on him. At one point she rejected Rio and told her not to call them all as family. One night she decided to run away, then heard what she presumed to be Rio and Kurusu in the middle of having sex, but once Kurusu left, she walked into Rio with an arm cut off, bleeding profusely. Rio’s final words to her was that Kurusu killed her, as wells as gifting her knitted gloves and asking her if they are family. She tearfully replies they are family.
  • Distaff Counterpart: To Uruma. She’s a young girl who’s also on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against individuals that killed their loved ones. Comes to no surprise that they become friends and team up against their respective enemies.
  • Hiding Behind Your Bangs: She has bangs that cover one side of her face to reflect her mysterious and lone wolf demeanor.
  • Tragic Keepsake: Her mother’s ring becomes this since she was the only survivor of her family’s car crash. She manages to recognize Rio’s severed arm amongst Kurusu trophy’s because she noticed one had her mother’s ring on its finger.

One of the many to join the recruitment camp of Kyou’s Revolutionary Club, coincidentally at the same time as Uruma, Mimi, and Reo. She becomes an ally to the team.


  • Buxom Beauty Standard: She IS a bikini model and was hired as such because of this trope, and she tries to highlight her large chest as a means to win over Uruma, much to Mimi and Azuma’s displeasure. Key word, TRIES.
  • Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Once the Revolutionary Club’s true colors are revealed, her admirers prefer to save their own hide and turn their backs on her. Just as she’s lost all hope, Uruma comes in and aids her against the cult. She instantly falls head over heels for Uruma.
