He has outright stated that he will mass murder all the Humans and Demons and even destroy Tortus itself if he has to and will show absolutely no mercy even towards his own classmates if they dared to cross him, a statement he proved by ruthlessly brutalizing Daisuke Hiyama for attempting to make Kaori his undead sex slave in front of them and letting monsters devour him alive, an act that traumatized most of them and made them truly terrified of Hajime despite the fact he had saved them from Eri's death trap. His iron forged will to survive made him extremely ruthless, uncaring, and sadistically capable of killing any person who wants to cause him misfortune or get in his way. The fear of dying, the pain caused from the loss of his left arm and the days of starvation and thirst, all combined with his undying desire to return back to his true home and see his family once again, pushed him over the edge. He wasn't studying or doing sports.Īfter the betrayal of one of his classmates and falling in into an abyss, Hajime begins his descent into madness. He had a Motto of "Hobbies First" and would put his hobbies over everything else despite being ridiculed by his peers. His strength of heart is evident by his ability to keep calm when his class faced perilous dangers from a Behemoth, while Kouki had momentarily stood paralyzed by fear until being snapped out of it by Hajime. Kaori noted that it would be easy to be a hero to fight against evil if one were already strong, but it takes true strength to go against evil if one knows that they are weak. While mild-mannered, he has a special type of bravery and strength of heart that would allow him to sacrifice his own dignity and well-being to protect a child from harm. Hajime was originally a weak-willed and average human with a timid and tolerant personality, but extremely humble and with an incredibly kind and gentle heart. He decides, however, to keep his mechanical arm and demon eye, which are, however, disguised to look like his original arm and eye, in order to keep his secret from the general public. His appearance has been described to look like an anime character, something Hajime is painfully aware of.Īfter he returned to Earth, Hajime's hair is reverted to its original black color due to Kaori's restoration magic. He wears black pants that have gun holsters attached to them, as well as black boots similar to an Italian gangster styled suits. Hajime's adventure outfit consists of a black coat with crimson-colored lining coupled with a gray blazer and a white shirt underneath it with a cravat tied around his neck. After completing the Great Orcus Labyrinth and gaining creation magic, Hajime would replace them with a mechanical arm made out of Creation Magic and an Artifact called the Demon Eye, respectively. He would later lose his right eye during his battle against the Hydra. Shortly after falling into the abyss, Hajime lost his left arm to the Claw Bear on the first floor. The huge change in his appearance (along with his personality and abilities) made it difficult for those who knew Hajime before to recognize him at first, only recognizing him because of his voice and facial features (and that's only after taking a closer look). He also grew 10 cm in height and gained a muscular and toned figure. These red marks also grant Hajime the ability to use magic without needing to use chants or incantations. His eyes also turned red and his body gained tattoo-like red veins and as well as his normal red blood cells turn into a purple spiked blood cells, a sign of becoming a demonic monster. Due to the stress of this repeated revitalization, his hair turned white, a condition called Marie Antoinette syndrome.
After he drank the ambrosia in the abyss to counter the poisonous effects of the monster meat, his body began to heal and grow stronger in the process. After falling into the abyss and eating a pair of twin-tailed wolf monsters, his body began to wither away. In the beginning of the story, Hajime had black hair, brown eyes, and a slim and dry body type. Hajime after (left) and before (right) his transformation.
