OVA
Description
Tsunami Shijo is an ancient Guardian, created alongside demons to protect humanity. He presents as a tall, slender man in his late teens or early twenties, with long white hair, pale skin, blue eyes, and distinctly feminine features. His standard attire is black clothing, often trench coats, gloves, and shirts, sometimes paired with red lipstick and black nail polish. Alternative outfits include suits, yukatas, or simple button-up shirts. As a junior high student, he had short black hair and wore standard uniforms, later switching to a black gakuran. In advanced age, his long hair is slicked back, and he wears light-colored traditional Japanese clothing.
Born around 1908 in Tokyo, Tsunami lived with his mother. He suffered severe school bullying, returning home injured but refusing to retaliate. His mother's murder by her intimate partner, Takamiya, triggered his first explosive power manifestation. Discovering her strangled body, his hair turned white as he unleashed flames that destroyed their home in an attempt to kill Takamiya. Presumed dead when authorities found no remains, he was orphaned. The onmyoji Ayanosuke Wakimi of the Wakimi clan helped him transfer schools and master his emerging abilities.
Tsunami exhibits a calm, soft-spoken demeanor with minimal emotional display, balanced by a playful, joking side, especially with allies like his secretaries. Self-sufficient resilience stems from early trauma. He carries profound guilt over a past failure: 30 years prior to his primary documented activities, Takamiya murdered his human wife, driving Tsunami to a catastrophic attack that inadvertently killed tens of thousands in Neo-Shinjuku. This solidified his emotional detachment, viewing deep human connections as vulnerabilities. Despite this, he remains dedicated to protecting humanity, acting ruthlessly against threats while showing occasional sympathy for manipulated pawns.
Key relationships include his mother, whose posthumous approval he seeks; his former lover and perpetual adversary Takamiya; Ayanosuke Wakimi, providing logistical and tactical support; secretaries like Kurumi Shingon (whom he may have adopted or fathered) and Reiko; and collaborators such as Tenku, who aids investigations. He also interacts with non-humans like the vampire Elle, who consumes his blood weekly.
Tsunami's capabilities center on fire and energy manipulation, including detonating sparks, generating defensive barriers, and teleportation. He demonstrates high durability, surviving space exposure and planetary-scale explosions, relativistic speed for interstellar travel, and flight. Additional skills include mind communication and mist summoning. He cannot drive, relying on others for transportation. A distinctive trait is his obsession with white rice, which he consumes excessively while avoiding other foods like meat or ooba leaves.
His chronological existence spans millennia. After his mother's death and Wakimi's mentorship, he operated for centuries, changing surnames but retaining "Tsunami." Around 2059, Takamiya murdered his wife, leading to the Neo-Shinjuku catastrophe. By 2089, he works as a private investigator in Neo-Shinjuku's ruins, handling cases involving demonic forces, such as tracking a human transformed into an oni by experimental drugs. This investigation culminates in a final battle where he transports Takamiya behind the moon and annihilates him, resolving their millennia-long conflict.
