Description
Hachiman, inmate number 8, was a former leader of the Chinese Mafia held in Building 5 of Nanba Prison's Gogyousan Underground Prison. A large pig mask, stitched down the middle, completely concealed his face and shoulders, blocking his vision and hiding his true appearance. He wore a standard yellow inmate jumpsuit fastened with red crossed threads, creating a distinctive silhouette.
He exhibited a cruel, merciless, and power-hungry personality, viewing humans as weak and expendable "trash" to be exploited by the strong. His cynical worldview shaped his leadership; he manipulated subordinates as tools for personal gain, demonstrating greed and deceptiveness by breaking promises and harming others without remorse. His philosophy emphasized strength as the means to obtain anything, urging the discarding of emotions and compassion.
Previously leading a powerful Chinese mafia, he recruited members brutally. He forced Liang from a martial arts temple by threatening to burn it down and kill everyone inside. He ordered the kidnapping of Upa as a child, intending to sell his organs. Later, he recruited Qi by offering to repay debts in exchange for creating medicine, but secretly modified Qi's formulations into lethal poisons for black-market sales. Discovering Liang had spared assassination targets, Hachiman tortured Liang and massacred the spared individuals. He then used Liang's mangled body to threaten Qi into compliance, leading Qi, Upa, and others to betray him, resulting in Hachiman's arrest. Imprisoned, he retained a vengeful desire to kill Qi, Upa, and Liang.
Temporarily freed by Enki to eliminate Jyugo and other threats, Hachiman instead sought immediate vengeance against Liang and Upa. He confronted them while they aided fellow inmates, commanding Rokuriki (possessed by Enki) to attack. After Rokuriki's defeat, Hachiman engaged directly, deploying paralytic poisonous gas created by Qi. He nearly killed Upa but was intercepted by Nico, whom he subdued with poisoned needles. Escalating the fight, Hachiman ordered Rokuriki to use lethal qigong techniques, endangering Rokuriki's life. Mocking Nico's frailty and choking him triggered Nico's violent alternate persona. Qi intervened, injecting Hachiman with a custom poison that caused him to choke himself unconscious.
Returning to his cell, Hachiman lamented his failure to kill Liang. Later informed he had disobeyed orders to eliminate Jyugo, he was subsequently killed, with his death staged as a suicide.
Hachiman possessed notable poison resistance due to his large physique, requiring higher doses. His relationships were defined by exploitation and vengeance. He saw Liang as a disposable assassin, torturing him for disobedience and vowing retribution after the mafia's collapse. With Qi, he alternated between praising his chemical skills and despising him as a traitor; Qi harbored deep loathing and engineered his defeat. Upa, once a child subordinate, was viewed as a commodity and later a target for elimination; Upa ultimately renounced him.
Quotes include: "You can obtain anything if you’re strong," and "I taught you that people are trash, didn’t I? That they’re perishable goods used to supply income."
His name derives from the Japanese god of war and archery, reflecting his brutal nature. His character design is inspired by Zhu Bajie from *Journey to the West*.
