Jun Saeki

Jun Saeki (, Saeki Jun) is an antagonist in Kurohyou 2: Ryu ga Gotoku Ashura-hen. He is the secretary and fixer for Tokyo Governor Tadashi Tsurumi, and a former policeman.
== Profile ==
=== Appearance ===
Saeki is a tall, thin and bald man. His eyes are black and he has a hunched neck. Of note is his extremely long, snakelike tongue, that corroborates his overall slender, serpentine appearance.
In the TV serial, he looks identical to Reiji Shinjo instead.
=== Attire ===
He wears a blue suit over a striped red shirt and a red tie, and blue suit pants.
=== Personality ===
Saeki is mostly calm and level-headed, and does not anger easily. However, when called to combat, he becomes a psychopath, even having a tendency to lick his sword.
== Background ==
Nothing is known about Saeki, except that he was Tsurumi's long-time henchman, ever since Tsurumi had served as the TMPD's Organized Crime Division Chief.
== Involvement ==
=== Kurohyou 2: Ryu ga Gotoku Ashura-hen: 2011 ===
Saeki is first seen when Tsurumi demands information about Tatsuya. He insists that Tsurumi calms down and assures him that Tatsuya will be dealt with.
Later, him and Ryo Nozaki go out drinking after Futa Kinjo's defeat. It is during this meeting that Saeki explains the Kamuro Vegas Plan to Nozaki, and Nozaki's true intentions are revealed.
Towards the end of the game, Saeki calls Tatsuya and tells him to come to the Millennium Tower and quietly hand over the pen drive containing a list of Tsurumi's wrongdoings. This triggers the final showdown of Kurohyou 2. After Tatsuya defeats the KHS officers scattered through the tower, he reaches the rooftop where Tsurumi and Saeki are waiting. Following Tsurumi's futile talk with Tatsuya, Saeki decides to forcibly take the pen drive and goes insane. He and Tatsuya engage in combat, and Saeki is soundly thrashed.
It is unknown what happened to Saeki afterwards. He was likely arrested and awarded a life term in jail for his abetment of Tsurumi's corruption.
== Fighting Style ==
Saeki is described as being a kendo champion by Tsurumi; as such, he is the only boss in Kurohyou 2 to use a proper weapon. He is, however, also a formidable Taido fighter. By far, he is the most difficult boss in the game.
=== Katana ===
In the first phase, Saeki wields a katana and uses a moveset unavailable to Tatsuya. His moves are mostly wild swings, which deal massive damage and are difficult to dodge due to their lack of startup frames (except his charge slash). He has hyper armor in this phase, and cannot have his guard broken, be brought to his knees or be knocked down.
He does not have deathblows or an invincible attack in this phase.
=== Extreme Instant Death ===
Once Saeki is disarmed, the second phase starts. His fighting style, despite being labeled "Ancient Japanese Martial Arts", is actually a unique variant of Extreme Instant Death. He is extremely fast in this phase (so fast that the game's camera cannot keep up with him), and has a tendency to aimlessly run around the helipad. As before, he has hyper armor, but this time only during his attacks; he can be brought to his knees and knocked down. 
Saeki's Heat attack is a devastatingly fast 5- or 6-hit combo, and if the last hit connects, he can immediately follow up with "Rift Dance". His deathblows are Ogre Fang (in the story), Knifehand Strike (in Premium Adventure) and Scorpion Tail.
Saeki is level 23 in the main story and level 45 in Premium Adventure. His skills are shared between both his movesets. They are +4 injury reduction, +3 endurance and +4 weapon attack speed.
He is one of only 2 bosses in the Kurohyou series with a unique aura, his being dark purple. However, the purple aura appears to function in the same way as every other boss's pink and cyan Heat, since it appears both when he is about to do his Heat attack and when he is in the tired state.
== Trivia ==
Saeki's second name, , is composed of the kanji for assistant or aide, and chief, respectively. This is fitting due to his role in the game's story.
