“Give me back my little brother!” ― Soya to Hinao and Shiba who he feels are causing his brother, Hakuri, to betray him.[source]
Soya Sazanami (
He is a major antagonist in the Rakuzaichi Arc.
Appearance[]
Soya is a very tall man (standing at roughly two heads taller than Hakuri) with white hair, part of it at the front sectioned off in two small braids. He typically dons the Tou outfit; a black vest over a white dress shirt with black pants.
Personality[]
Around most people, Soya is a cold, intelligent and processional individual, who can easily focus on the tasks assigned to him and is as dedicated to the Rakuzaichi as the rest of the clan. His nature, combined with his strength, was what led Kyora to choose him as his successor to inherit the Storehouse.
However, around his younger brother Hakuri, Soya's personality drastically changes. Soya greatly cares for Hakuri but is overly possessive; whenever he fears someone may 'lead Hakuri astray', he will immediately attempt to kill them, as seen when Hinao interrupted their conversation. Soya relishes in Hakuri's weakness, enjoying the feeling of having him under his control (hence his persistence in ensuring Hakuri stayed with the family). On several occasions he has also used tools to injure Hakuri, a further display of his abusive nature. Soya's fanaticism regarding his brother is so strong that Hakuri and Shiba planned to weaponise it in order to lure him away for the rest of the Tou, and the plan worked without a hitch. Kyora is aware of Soya's attitude towards his brother and disapproves as it gets in the way of Soya's usual pragmatic nature.
When Hakuri refused to simply let Soya abuse him and began fully opposing him, Soya immediately decided to kill Hakuri for refusing to return to his former state. After Hakuri awakened to his second power of the Storehouse, Soya grew furious, as he viewed it impossible that Hakuri, a 'worthless failure' in his eyes, could ever be as great a prodigy as a legend such as the first Sazanami clan head.

Soya is extremely adept at using his shockwaves, using them to move through the air at extreme speed. The power of his shockwaves are extremely potent, able to travel through the air and deal severe damage to a building several metres away from where he was fighting Shiba midair, and also blast Hakuri across half a corridor and destroy the wall at the corridor's end, dealing severe damage to Hakuri.
