Haragiri

Haragiri (ハラギリ, Haragiri) was a swordmaster and a member of the Council of Swordmasters before deciding to join the Monster Association. He was killed by Atomic Samurai.^[2]

Appearance[]

As a human, Haragiri had long dark hair slicked back and a prominent widow's peak. He appeared to be around 40 years old and had the look of a middle-aged man. His outfit consisted of a sleeveless haori over a kimono, and he carried a katana sheathed in a scabbard on the left side of his hip. In his monster form, his skin darkened, and a third eye emerged on his forehead. His teeth became sharper, his hair lightened, and it seemed to transform into large vines that protruded outward, with several veins coursing across his skin.

Personality[]

Haragiri was a very blithe individual who was mostly concerned about improving his swordsmanship. He believed that the sole purpose of the Council of Swordmasters is to refine their swordsmanship, viewing discussions about the Hero Hunter Garou as distractions from their original mission. In pursuit of power, he completely abandoned his humanity and joined the Monster Association. After transforming into a Mysterious Being, he grew increasingly arrogant, convinced he could easily defeat all other members of the Council of Swordmasters, including Atomic Samurai, one of the highest-ranked S-Class heroes.

Plot[]

Human Monster Saga[]

Super Fight Arc[]

During a meeting of the Council of Swordmasters, while Atomic Samurai expresses gratitude to the other members for their support in pursuing the Hero Hunter Garou, Haragiri interrupts. He reveals that he has joined the Monster Association, which offers him a power far beyond his current abilities in exchange for his humanity. He shows them three Monster Cells and transforms into a Mysterious Being, admitting that he has eaten one before. He then threatens to kill all the members unless they also consume a Monster Cell and become monsters themselves. Aiming to kill Atomic Samurai as ordered by the Monster Association, he prepares to strike, giving the others three seconds to eat a Monster Cell. When the time is up, he unleashes a slash toward Atomic Samurai. However, before his blade can reach the hero, Atomic Samurai swiftly unsheathes his sword and executes an Atomic Slash, cutting Haragiri into pieces and ending his life.^[3]

Abilities and Powers[]

As a human, Haragiri was a member of the Council of Swordmasters, possessing masterful skills in swordsmanship. Before becoming a Mysterious Being, he could draw his sword at speeds surpassing the speed of sound.^[4] His transformation into a Mysterious Being significantly enhanced his strength and speed.^[5] Despite this power increase, he was still no match for Atomic Samurai.

Physical Abilities[]

Transformation: Haragiri gained the ability to transform his physical form after becoming a monster, as he ate a monster cell prior to the meeting with the Council of Swordmasters, yet only when presenting them to the other members did he reveal his monster form.

Immense Speed and Reflexes: Before becoming a monster, Haragiri could draw his sword at speeds faster than sound.^[4] After becoming a monster, this speed further increased, yet he remained unable to keep up with Atomic Samurai.

Trivia[]

"Haragiri" is similar to the word harakiri, a ritual suicide originally performed by samurai. This is probably a reference to how he let his human self die in exchange for greater power as a monster.
Haragiri is among the few monsters of human origin who can access their human form, the others being Gale Wind, Hellfire Flame and Surprise-Attack Plum.
