OVA
Description
Monjuro Hori, also referred to as Monjuurou Hori or Horimon Juurou, is the central male protagonist of the adult OVA Sex Code of the Samurai, which is an adaptation of the visual novel Samurai Hormone by Clam Chowder. He is a shinobi, a skilled ninja, who comes into possession of a secret scroll that various parties are desperate to obtain. His background as a wandering swordsman or ninja places him at the center of a conflict driven by desire for this prized item.
In terms of personality, Monjuro is portrayed as a confident and physically dominant individual. His demeanor is calm and self-assured, often displaying a composed exterior even when faced with direct threats. He uses his wits and combat prowess to navigate dangerous encounters, and he is not above exploiting the vulnerabilities of those who pursue him. His motivations are primarily self-serving: he retains the scroll for his own purposes, and his actions are driven by a desire to maintain control over his situation and to assert his own will over his pursuers.
Monjuro's role in the story is that of the catalyst and central figure. The narrative revolves around the attempts of two kunoichi to retrieve the scroll from him. Shizune, a female ninja from the Fuuma clan, is sent on a mission to reclaim the scroll and repeatedly fails, leading to disciplinary actions from her father and brother. Meanwhile, Kojuurouta, another kunoichi, pursues Monjuro out of a desire for revenge, believing that he killed her father and stole the scroll. Monjuro's interactions with these two characters form the core of the plot, as he proves to be a formidable and elusive target, using his physical skills and manipulative charm to outmaneuver them.
Key relationships are defined by this power dynamic. With Shizune, the relationship is one of pursuer and pursued, where Monjuro consistently gains the upper hand, turning her attacks into opportunities to dominate her. With Kojuurouta, the relationship is similarly adversarial, fueled by her thirst for vengeance, which Monjuro exploits. Both relationships are characterized by a cycle of conflict and forced submission, aligning with the adult themes of the source material.
Regarding development within the story, Monjuro does not undergo a significant moral or personal change across the single-episode OVA. His character remains largely static: he is the unchanging, dominant force who uses his authority and skill to shape the events around him. His notable abilities include expert swordsmanship with a katana, proficiency in hand-to-hand combat, and a strategic mind that allows him to anticipate and counter the tactics of his enemies. He is also depicted as possessing a commanding physical presence and a certain persuasive charm, which he uses to disarm and overpower his adversaries both literally and figuratively.
