Hifuki Mushi is one of the main characters in "Dead Mount Death Play." Known as the mysterious arsonist, their real identity is not just one person but a group who uses hypnosis to create many temporary copies of themselves by transferring their personality into regular people—without hurting the real person. The original Hifuki Mushi has already died, and their mission is revenge against a secret group called the "Children of Sabaramond," who did cruel experiments on them 100 years ago. Saved by Majiri Agakura, the survivors started using their copy ability, which made it easy to disappear for decades. Later, convinced by Tsubaki Iwanome, the group stopped involving innocent people, betrayed their old organization, and left Japan with Kuon Higuro to seek the home of their enemy, the Republic of Lugnysas.
Hifuki Mushi’s appearance always stays mysterious.
They usually carry a raincoat labeled "Be Careful with Fire," which is tied to their crimes.
Hifuki Mushi is known for being secretive and strange.
They often sing old children's songs, which makes them seem even more mysterious.
Their words and actions are hard to understand, and few people really know their real thoughts.
A famous phrase of theirs is, "This world is not normal. That's why I long for flames."
The Tragic Past
Hifuki Mushi’s story starts 100 years ago.
They were one of 18 victims locked away for experiments by the "Children of Sabaramond," a secret group.
Most of the victims died in a fire, but two people survived thanks to Majiri Agakura.
Those two became the “original” Hifuki Mushi and started seeking revenge.
The most shocking skill of Hifuki Mushi is copying their own personality into others using hypnosis.
This allows them to create many "copies" acting as Hifuki Mushi at the same time, helping to hide their movements for many years.
The real person’s mind disappears while the copy is acting, and the process leaves no lasting harm.
When a copy is not needed, it can be erased completely.
