Mikadzuki (三日月 Mikazuki) is a supporting antagonist exclusive to the Nanbaka Web Manga. He is always in proximity of Rokudo, and is the person who responsible for the death of Natsumi[1], Tauro Twisters[2], and Jemi Sandra[3].
Appearance[]
Mikadzuki is a fairly pale skinned guy. His hair is blond and exceptionally long, which has been tied into a thin ponytail with a band the same indigo shade as his suit with a ninja star seemingly tied on to it. His bangs are slightly messy, with a strand(?) coming across his face from the middle and swoop to the left with two other strands swooping to their respective sides away from his face, which curl inward at the ends. He has blond eyelashes and crimson eyes. He is mostly seen with either a blank stare or a cynical gaze. His nails are painted deep pink.
His suit is a shade of indigo, with the top ending with two swoops on each side respectively, going down to his ankles. The suit is tied with two maroon belts with a tassle shaped like a bow on the left side, tied to the belt on top. He has a low collared dress shirt underneath, as well as what appears to be a black bodysuit underneath it all, which goes down from his neck to his lower body. He has at least five stars on his person (one earing on his right ear, two buttons on his suit, one on his tie, and one on his hairband). His tie is of a royal purple color with a pale yellow elongated star printed on it.
Personality[]
Mikadzuki is a enigmatic man demonstrated to be expressionless and cold. He is also ruthless, capable of swiftly killing large groups of people with no hesitation.[4] He sees himself, Rokudo, and their enemies as living in a fundamentally different world from Ban and Jun, and as such warns them away from interacting with Rokudo or getting close. He is also very cynical overall, calling family a ridiculous concept. Despite his rough exterior, some of his actions speak to an underlying kindness, such as when he rescued Ban from an attack and urged him to run away, and also when he reassured Tauro that his sister was alive.[3]
Mikadzuki tells Ban that his world is "different" from his.
Background[]
Mikadzuki is renowned as a highly skilled assassin by the general public. At some point in time, he killed Natsumi, a subordinate of the Man with the Scar, for an unknown reason likely to do with Rokudo.[1] His main goal is to kill Rokudo, being adamant that he be the one to do so. As such, he keeps moving Rokudo around and has to kill off the rest of his pursuers.
Plot[]
Building 5 Arc[]
Mikadzuki tells Rokudo that Enki Gokuu is dead. Rokudo doesn't remember who he is, so he explains that he was the man who tried to prevent his prison break in the past. Rokudo then asks why he mentions his name, and Mikadzuki says it is because he died at Nanba Prison.[5]
610 Arc[]
Half a year before Momoko Hyakushiki's meeting with Leon Faiburg, Mikadzuki and Rokudo stay for a while at Bar Jun. The owner, Jun, and her brother, Ban, had become quite fond of Rokudo, and wanted him to stay. At first, Mikadzuki did not reveal himself to them, hiding above the ceiling while Rokudo resided with the two siblings. However, when Zodiac Police units enter Bar Jun to apprehend them, Mikadzuki kills them all and then cleans up the evidence.
He's adamant that Rokudo leave immediately, but Ban begs otherwise.[6] Soon after, Tauro Twisters attacks Mikadzuki with the goal of separating him from Rokudo. Mikadzuki easily destroys Tauro's arm and is about to kill him when Tauro manages to escape. Deciding to instead find Rokudo, he uses the signal on a tracking earring he had given Rokudo, only to find that Rokudo had given it to Jun without realizing what it was.[7]
Returning to the battle, Mikadzuki gets to work killing off all the ZP officers. Eventually he finds Ban, who he rescues from Jemi Sandra and orders to run away. Ban refuses, and ends up getting shot by Jemi. His last words are a plea for Mikadzuki to help his sister. When Mikadzuki arrives at the scene were Tauro is holding Jun hostage, he finds that Rokudo has already shot Jun in the head, leaving Tauro dumbstruck. Mikadzuki uses this opening to brutally kill Tauro. In the conversation that followed while Tauro bled out, Mikadzuki informed him that Tauro's little sister was alive, providing the man a great comfort.[2]
Sophia Valentine Case[]
When Rokudo touched Sophia Valentine's arm and activated her powers as the Togabito of Night, he was thrown into a deep sleep. In exchange of having her one day wake up Rokudo, Mikadzuki starts serving as Sophia's secret bodyguard, at the request of Ram. When Isou gets too close to the Valentine Mansion, Mikadzuki reveals himself and beheads him, leading to a tense conversation between the two[8]. After Sophia and the defected Zodiac Police members escape Nanba Prison, they go to where Mikadzuki has been keeping Rokudo so that Sophia can wake him up.[9]
Skills & Abilities[]
Swordsmanship[]
Mikadzuki is an unparalleled swordsman, easily taking out dozens of people armed with guns. His reputation is threatening enough to make both the Zodiac Police and Shiki take immense caution around him. He easily outpaces Tauro, who is noted to be a very proficient swordsman in his own right, as shown when he fought Tsu-in in her SLEEP Mode.
Stealth[]
Living above the ceiling of Bar Jun for a month straight completely undetected, Mikadzuki is extremely stealthy.[6] During his time guarding Sophia Valentine, she was completely unaware of his presence, as, likely, were the rest of the Valentines.[9]
Cleaning & Evidence Disposal[]
Within seconds, Mikadzuki is able to clean all traces of a massacre from a place. It becomes to the point that Jun can't even believe there was any bloodshed to begin with, and is able to comfortably touch the floor where a corpse once was.[6]
