Description
Ayahito Sundan, also known by the alias Shredding Killer, is a character from the anime Big Order. He serves as the Tenth Hand within the Group of Ten, a powerful organization of Order users operating under the Dazaifu Central Bureau in Kyushu. His background is deeply tied to the catastrophic event known as the First Great Destruction. Before this disaster, he was designated as Subject Number One in an experiment conducted by the Hoshimiya Agency, which sought to convert human thoughts into energy. He was freed from confinement as a direct result of the First Great Destruction.

In terms of personality, Ayahito is often perceived as analytical, strategic, and future-oriented. He exhibits traits associated with being decisive and confident in his own abilities, frequently adopting the role of an advisor to others. His demeanor can come across as detached or ruthless because he prioritizes efficiency and logic in his actions. A strong driver of his personality is a need for control and power, balanced by a profound sense of loyalty and protectiveness towards those he cares about. This combination of traits makes him a formidable and somewhat enigmatic figure, enhanced by his practice of wearing a mask that obscures his face.

His primary motivation stems from his reverence for Eiji Hoshimiya, the series' protagonist, whom he blames for the First Great Destruction. Paradoxically, this blame has led him to view Eiji as a god-like figure. This complex perspective influences his actions and allegiances throughout the story. In his role as the Tenth Hand, Ayahito participates in high-level strategic meetings concerning Kyushu's push for independence and the potential use of Eiji Hoshimiya's powers. He is later present at the Yamaguchi meeting, where plans are made for an invasion of Japan.

Key relationships define much of his character arc. His most significant bond is with Rin Koryuki, a childhood friend for whom he harbors deep affection. Despite his fearsome reputation as a killer, Rin is the sole person he would never harm, and he is willing to go to any length to ensure her safety. Professionally, he is an operative who carries out orders without question, acting as an assassin for the powerful Tenshoin family.

Ayahito undergoes notable development during the series. A turning point occurs when he witnesses the execution of his colleagues' relatives in Tokyo during a teleconference with the Prime Minister of Japan, an event that causes him significant distress. Following the failed attempt at a Second Great Destruction, which is thwarted by the sacrifice of a comrade, his status becomes unknown or missing.

His notable abilities are rooted in his status as an Order user. He possesses the power to manipulate water, which he can use to launch devastating attacks. His most distinctive power is his ability to create dimensional warp gates through the use of zippers. This allows him to distort space and teleport himself and potentially others for tactical movement. These abilities, combined with his skill in combat, make him a highly valuable asset to the Group of Ten.
