Overview | Gallery |
The Oni Mask Sorcerer is a sorcerer who ambushed Chihiro and Char after learning of the bounty placed on them by Genichi Sojo, and later was present outside the Rakuzaichi building during the day of the auction.
He is a minor antagonist in the Vs. Sojo Arc and a recurring character in the series as a whole.
Appearance[]
The Oni Mask Sorcerer is a black-haired individual of average height who, much like many Yakuza in Tokyo, wears a black suit and tie with a white shirt (left untucked) alongside black pants and shoes. Uniquely, he wears a ruff of fur around his neck and a distinctly recognisable oni mask.
Personality[]
The Oni Mask Sorcerer is a confident, casual and pragmatic individual. When confronting Chihiro, he was confident enough in his skills to already muse over how much Sojo would pay once he succeeded before actually battling Chihiro. However, when Azami showed up, his confidence quickly eroded to pragmatism as he focused on evading the situation, prioritising survival over the bounty. The Oni Mask Sorcerer's casual nature arose when he was chatting with his associate the Bald Tattooed Man, being lax even when discussing the deaths of auction attendees.
Relationships[]
Bald Tattooed Man: The Oni Mask Sorcerer is on good terms with the Bald Tattooed Man, as they debated cordially prior to the 208th Rakuzaichi, displaying a degree of familiarity between the two.
Plot[]
Background[]
The Oni Mask Sorcerer has attended the Rakuzaichi for several years prior to the present.[1]
Vs. Sojo Arc[]
After Sojo posted his bounty, the Oni Mask Sorcerer ambushed Chihiro Rokuhira and Char Kyonagi at a crossroads alongside two other sorcerers. However, Azami from the Kamunabi then arrived and quickly dispatched the other two sorcerers. Recognising the man as a high-ranking member of the Kamunabi, the Oni Mask Sorcerer quickly raised his arms and declared he would give up and leave before teleporting away.[2]
Rakuzaichi Arc[]
Prior to the beginning of the 208th Rakuzaichi, the Oni Mask Sorcerer sat on a stone wall inside a parking lot outside the auction building, talking with a bald man with tattoos on his head. The Oni Mask Sorcerer noted it was unusually calm, and that most years some attendees would cause trouble and be disposed of by auction security. The bald man replied that due to the auctioning of two Enchanted Blades, everyone would likely be on edge and be dissuaded from starting any trouble. The Oni Mask Sorcerer countered that the blades were the headliners of the auction and would only be sold at the very end, likely after dark, so there was no point for everyone to be so antsy at such an early time. The bald man concedes that it would be unlikely to remain calm for long, and that the evening would be quite hectic.[3]
Abilities[]
Overall Abilities: The Oni Mask Sorcerer is a competent sorcerer who believed himself capable of fighting a wielder of an Enchanted Blade, displaying confidence in his abilities. He was able to quickly rush at Chihiro and just as quickly cancel his movement upon spotting Azami. Despite wearing a mask, his eyesight is barely impaired, as he was easily able to spot the Kamunabi badge on Azami's shirt.
As a sorcerer, the Oni Mask Sorcerer has accomplished the first stage of spirit energy usage, being able to use his spirit energy to strengthen his body to superhuman levels.
Sorcery[]
Teleportation: The Oni Mask Sorcerer's movement sorcery allows him to teleport, his prior location vanishing into smoke. The maximum range and any other limitations on his teleportation are unknown. He used this sorcery in order to quickly evade Azami upon spotting his Kamunabi badge.
Trivia[]
- During Hinao's discussion on sorcerers in Chapter 3, the Oni Mask Sorcerer was one of the sorcerers who were depicted. His introduction and first speaking role are in Chapter 7.
