Haragiri

Haragiri is a former member of the Sword Saint Association, an organization of elite swordsmen.

He later joins the Monster Association after ingesting a monster cell to gain more power.

He specializes in ultra-high-speed sword-drawing techniques that surpass the speed of sound.

After becoming a monster, his already formidable speed increases even further.

His exact disaster level is unknown within the Hero Association’s ranking system.

Despite his boost in power, he is ultimately defeated and killed by a superior swordsman.

Haragiri was originally a human swordsman recognized as one of the “sword saints.”

As a member of the Sword Saint Association, he stood among the top practitioners of swordsmanship in the world.

Seeking even greater strength, Haragiri accepted an invitation from the Monster Association.

He ingested a monster cell into his body, undergoing monsterification and officially defecting to their side.

The Monster Association assigned him a mission specifically targeting the Sword Saint Association.

His orders included eliminating Atomic Samurai, a central figure among the sword saints, while dealing with the others as he saw fit.

Haragiri is a master of sword-drawing techniques, focusing on ultra-fast Iaijutsu-style slashes.

Even before transforming, his sword strikes were described as exceeding the speed of sound.

After monsterification, his physical capabilities, especially speed and reflexes, increased dramatically.

This enhancement made his already lethal draw techniques even quicker and more difficult to follow with the naked eye.

Despite his boost in power, Haragiri’s technique and combat judgment proved inferior to top-tier swordsmen like Atomic Samurai.

In battle, he relies on overwhelming speed and surprise cuts rather than prolonged engagements or complex strategy.

Haragiri plays a key role during a Sword Saint Association meeting.

He secretly brings monster cells to the gathering under orders from the Monster Association.

At the meeting, he pressures the other Sword Saint Association members to ingest the monster cells.

His goal is to force them to become monsters and swell the ranks of the Monster Association.

He explicitly excludes Atomic Samurai from this offer, as Atomic Samurai is his designated target for assassination.

Haragiri threatens to kill any member who refuses to become a monster.

When the sword saints reject his demand, the situation escalates to combat.

Haragiri attempts to carry out his mission, using his monstrous speed and sword-drawing skills.

However, he is outclassed and is cut into fine pieces in a swift counterattack.

Haragiri dies on the spot, failing both his betrayal and his mission for the Monster Association.

Haragiri is driven by an obsession with strength above all else.

This fixation makes him willing to betray his comrades and his humanity for more power.

He shows a ruthless and coercive side by threatening to kill his former allies if they do not follow his path.

His actions reveal that he values power more than loyalty, honor, or the code of the swordsman.

At the same time, his fate underscores the series’ recurring theme that blind pursuit of strength without true skill or resolve leads to downfall.

Haragiri’s end serves as a contrast to swordsmen who uphold their principles even in the face of overwhelming power.
