Description
Mitsugai Amagi is the founder and former CEO of the Amagi Corporation, a powerful conglomerate. He is a elderly man with white hair, often seen with a cane and formal attire, who holds a firm belief in a distinct divide between the rich and the poor. His driving motivation is the pursuit of creating perfect artificial humans. To achieve this dream, he initiated the N.E.T. Project, a secret endeavor that ultimately led to the creation of monstrous beings known as Players, who later escaped into the world. Feeling a heavy sense of responsibility for this catastrophe, Mitsugai then commenced Project Z.E.T. to create a being capable of destroying the Players, hoping to set things right. However, his plans were further derailed by the betrayal of a researcher named Kanzaki, who took the original Z.E.T. subject away. This left Mitsugai hell-bent on retrieving Z.E.T. after countless failed attempts to create a new one. His personality is often described as dogmatic, cold, and willing to do anything to achieve his ends, viewing even his own family as tools for his greater purpose. As the patriarch of the Amagi family, he is the grandfather of Kouga Amagi, whom he grooms to become the hero Alphas using the corporation's technology, and Konoha Amagi. His relationship with his son and heir is strained by his prioritization of the company. After the destruction of his laboratory by the Players a second time, a change appears in him. He seems to have softened, giving the protagonist Jin Kanzaki a choice to become Z.E.T. or live as a normal human, though it remains uncertain whether this is genuine or a facade. In terms of abilities, Mitsugai is not a direct combatant; his power lies in his immense wealth, authority as a corporate leader, and his deep scientific knowledge in genetics and artificial life creation. He is the architect of both the N.E.T. Project and Project Z.E.T., making him the origin of the story's primary conflicts. Over the course of the story, he transitions from an ambitious and ruthless industrialist to a man haunted by his failures, ultimately seeking a final solution to the chaos he unleashed.
