Description
Jyubei is a middle-aged human male with slick brown hair, a mustache, and beard, marked by a distinctive scar across his right eyebrow and eye. He operates as a corpse dealer and bounty coordinator from his shop, Shikabaneya, purchasing demon parts from hunters. His profession involves assigning bounties to demon slayers, frequently directing Moroha against targets such as Kirinmaru's Four Perils while withholding their full identities or the associated risks.
He maintains professional connections across the feudal era. At Miroku's request, Jyubei took responsibility for raising Takechiyo, a young raccoon dog demon, though he primarily assigned him errands. He later employed Takechiyo to monitor Moroha during her missions. Jyubei also trained the wolf demon Yawaragi, who appeared eight years before the main events and later mentored Moroha. His most valued client is the pirate Riku, later revealed as an incarnation of Kirinmaru; Jyubei serves Riku loyally due to generous payments, unaware of his true nature.
Jyubei's relationship with Moroha centers on financial exploitation. He claims she owes him an immense, unspecified debt and consistently withholds the majority of her bounty earnings. This debt originated from costs incurred under Jyubei's coordination during Moroha's attempts to find a cure for Setsuna's Dream Butterfly curse. He exhibits greed in transactions, such as denying payment for Tokotsu's remains when proof of the demon's demise was compromised.
He once possessed a Green Rainbow Pearl, which attracted demon bounties and brought unusual luck to his business. The pearl's current status or acquisition method remains unspecified.
Jyubei's actions advance the plot by connecting protagonists to antagonists. He sends Moroha to slay Konton, the Third Peril, without revealing Konton's affiliation with Kirinmaru. His assignments for the girls align with Riku's requests, implying coordination against Kirinmaru's forces, though Jyubei withholds this motive. His role in Moroha's past includes facilitating her acquisition of the Red Rainbow Pearl from Tokotsu, though details of that encounter remain unclear.
Later revelations show his indirect ties to broader conflicts. Yawaragi's spirit, collected by soul collectors under Riku's command, recalls Jyubei during her final moments, linking him to the ongoing battles against Kirinmaru and Zero. His business ultimately serves as a conduit for the protagonists' confrontations with major antagonists.
