Hajime Nagumo

Hajime Nagumo, also better known by his classmates as the God Slaying Demon King and by Ehit and his servants as the Irregular, is the titular main protagonist of the Japanese web-turned-light novel, manga and anime franchise .
He is one of Ehit's former team of fake heroes who, after discovering the truth that he was an impostor and just used him as a pawn, turned into the false god's latest archenemy and killer.
Although being the main protagonist, and although being mainly an anti-hero, Hajime committed various terrible and violent acts over the course of the series, often murdering his enemies in cold blood, torturing them, beating them and even worse, viciously killing hundreds of Ehit loyalists and in general anyone who dares to stand in his way, often serving as more of an outright villainous protagonist rather than an anti-hero, especially in the earlier parts of the story, proving just how much of a ruthless killer he has become, ever since he was purposely betrayed and left behind by one of his classmates, droving Hajime into anger, sadness, loneliness and hatred, bringing him to abandon nearly all of his kindness because of all the pain, the agony and the suffering he was forced to endure in order to survive: this until he meet the imprisoned Yue, who was also betrayed due to her immortality and monstrous strength, who'll actually turn out to be the very reason Hajime managed to retain what's left of his soft side and hold a large control over his anger.
He was voiced by Toshinari Fukamachi in the Japanese version of the anime, who also voiced both Ard Meteor and his alter-ego from another world, Disaster Rogue from The Greatest Demon Lord is Reborn as a Typical Nobody, and by Matt Shipman in the English version.
==Overview==
Hajime was once a weak-willed but friendly, humble, kind-hearted, selfless and caring all-around human. But now a murderous monster due to suffering/enduring the unfathomable torment of the inner-most depths of the Orcus Dungeon, which all started because of a failed murder attempt by Daisuke Hiyama, his main bully, purely out of petty and spiteful jealousy.
In the beginning and before his mutation, Hajime had a miserable life in both school and Tortus, as he was bullied by Daisuke Hiyama and his gang after he got a lot of loving attention from their class’ most beautiful girl & school idol, Kaori Shirasaki. When he was left for dead and suffered due to Hiyama's betrayal, Hajime turned into a monster by devouring monster flesh out of desperation, absorbing their powers & abilities in a life-or-death process. Thus, no longer a normal human being after mutating.
After Hajime ate some of very powerful monsters and made weapons from the monsters' essences, he gained too much power and mutation-evolved strength that broke even the normal level 100 limit, meaning he became more powerful beyond anyone ever could be and became a human/monster hybrid, turned from a meek and good-willed human being into a ruthless, coldblooded and destructive killer, bent on his quest to return back to his home, even if he’ll have to kill all those who get in his way, especially if they’ll dare to harm his comrades (harem).
After learning from the Liberators that he and his classmates were being used by the false god, Ehit. Hajime abandoned all respects for him and has no concerns for false god of Tortus, but disrespecting Ehit as he swears to kill them all as well if they are got in his way.
After reuniting with his former classmates, Hajime broke all ties with them and left them behind for his quest of returning to Japan but ended up having Kaori Shirasaki join him to win his heart no matter what it took.
Hajime and his companions caused destruction and killed hundreds of loyalists all over Tortus, killing all those who blindly worship the fake god Ehit. 
In request of Princess Liliana, Hajime return to the Heiligh Kingdom to rescue his teacher, Aiko Hatayama. He killed Noint, the Holy Church's Pope, his bishops, Eri Nakamura's soldiers and finally Daisuke Hiyama.
With the help of Aiko and Princess Liliana S. B. Heiligh after Eri Nakamura's betrayal and Daisuke Hiyama's death by Hajime, he has successfully made humanity turned against Ehit and forever ruining his "chessboard of life and death" leaving Tortus as a godless world.
While still refusing to rejoin his former classmates just to suit Kouki Amanogawa's useless delusions, Hajime actually ended up giving his classmates another chance to join him and his companions to clear the remaining labyrinths to obtain the "Age of Gods Magic". And kill Ehit next, in order to return back home to Japan.
==Appearance==
In the beginning of the story, Hajime had black hair, brown eyes, and a slim body type. He also had a kind face and attitude and a very humble and selfless side. After falling into the abyss and eating the twin-tailed wolf monster's flesh, his body began to violently rupture from the inside. After immediately drinking the ambrosia in the abyss to counter the effects of the monster meat, his body began to heal and grow stronger in the process. Due to the stress of this repeated rupture and revitalization, his hair turned white, a condition called Marie Antoinette syndrome. 
In the light novel and manga, his eyes turned dark red, he gained tattoo-like red veins, a sign of becoming a demonic monster (which was absent in the anime). These red marks also grant Hajime the ability to use magic without needing to use chants or incantations. He also grew 10 cm in height and gained a muscular, toned and statue-like figure. The huge changes 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 later because of his voice and facial features (and that's only after taking a closer look).
Shorty after falling into the abyss, Hajime lost his left arm to the Claw Bear on the first floor (pre-mutation). He would later lose his right eye during his battle against the Hydra (post-mutation). After completing the Great Orcus Labyrinth and gaining Creation Magic, Hajime would replace both of them with a mechanical arm and a gem-like artifact called the Demon Eye respectively.
After he returned to Earth, Hajime's hair and eyes were reverted back to their original color thanks to Kaori's restoration magic. He decides, however, to keep his mechanical arm and demon eye, which are disguised to look like his original arm and eye.
==Personality==
===Pre-Fall===
Hajime was originally a weak and average human with a timid and tolerant personality but with an extremely kind and gentle heart and soul. 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. 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. 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. He had a Motto of "Hobbies First" and would put his hobbies over everything else despite ridicule by his peers. He was also considered mature.
===Post-Fall===
After falling into the abyss' darkest depths, and after suffering even more after losing his left arm due to Hiyama's betrayal, the rage for being betrayed, the fear of dying, the despair and his undying desire to see his parents, the two people he cares about the most, once again, all of this followed by several days of starvation and thirst, pushed Hajime to his very limit. All these factors mixed with his desire to survive and return to Japan, causing his gentle personality to completely change to that of a ruthless, wrathful, uncaring, bloodthirsty, sadistic, merciless, genocidal and coldblooded killer and torturer. Thus, becoming utterly ruthless and murderous toward all those who make them his enemies, making him more than ready to kill anyone and anything who stand in his path in any way, including his old classmates.
Hajime has almost completely abandoned all his kind and generous nature, replacing it with that of a very cold, cruel, coldhearted, indifferent,cynical and sadistic person,able to easily abandon a dying person without hesitation.
He's shown his sadistic side after killing monsters and eating their meat for his sustenance. He doesn't care for vengeance as he viewed himself to be more powerful than his now-useless classmates.
After discovering from the Liberators that Tortus was manipulated by Ehit, Hajime has no respect for the false god, but rather insults and disrespects him, as he will also kill him. He also sees the apostles and demons as ´God´s puppets´, as they are weaker than he is and killed everyone, including Noint, who is known to be the most powerful. Even though reunited with his classmates (only indebted to Kaori), Hajime still doesn't care about his weak classmates (except for Kaori and Shizuku) and give them a proper warning if they get in his way, he'll kill them, which caused them to be terrified of Hajime - even causing his former bullies to be more afraid of him than the rest.
Hajime proved he didn´t care for his former classmates as he killed Shimizu when he made a pact with the demons and attempt to kill his teacher, Aiko. He cruelly brutalized Hiyama (light novel and manga) before throwing him to feed the monsters for conspiring with Eri in the invasion of the Heiligh Kingdom. As well as having temporarily caused Kaori´s death. Though he was willing to forgive them if they learned from their mistakes and wrongdoings. Unlike in the anime, Hajime killed Hiyama with cold anger. 
Hajime will never let anyone lay a single finger or harms his comrades (harem) even in such worthless challenges such as defeating Kouki Amanogawa twice: first, in a useless unarmed duel and later a pointless fight while Kouki merged with his doppelganger. And murdering the traitorous coward, Hiyama, for his supposedly murder on Kaori Shirasaki. After killing Hiyama, Hajime made it a warning that if any of his former classmates got in his way, they would face the same fate as Hiyama.
Due to Ehit´s manipulation, Hajime considers Tortus a world of murder, where it´s just kill or die. Hajime also considers the Holy Church´s decree to be meaningless, as all their beliefs and efforts in the war against demons on behalf of Ehit were completely empty and false. Thus, revealing what they are only doing was dying in hopeless wars and sacrifice innocent lives - much of Ehit's amusement.
Despite being a former human, Hajime is quite indifferent towards Tortus´ situation, where he doesn´t care about the world or its inhabitants. Since he is not loyal to kingdoms, empires, cities or towns, nor is he concerned about saving the lives of people who were blindly worship the false god, and unlike the Liberators who wanted to save them, Hajime will not hesitate to kill them if necessary as it demonstrated that he unleashed the massacre upon the supposedly worshipers, who or whatever they are.
In his sadistic side, Hajime mocked and provoked his enemies to lead them to their deaths. He has no tolerances for empty idealism, delusional prides, emotional weaknesses or cowardice. He got disgusted by Kouki's idiotic ideals. He called Hiyama and his gang worthless and weak as well exposed Hiyama's greatest fear of him being responsible for Hajime's "fall" and left him for dead. He doesn't take orders from those who are inferior to himself. He refused to return to the so-called "Hero Party" to being pawns for Ehit's twisted entertainment nor will he let those who betray him into joining his party to get close to his lovers including Kaori (mainly the Bastard Four).
Due to his past experiences, Hajime became completely loathing and hateful towards cowards and traitors, despising them deeply, seeing them as living burdens, backstabbing weasels and dead weights.
When abandoning his timidity, Hajime is fearless when he is not afraid of anyone or anything anymore. He is not terrified of the so-called Gods of Tortus as he viewed them to be pathetic. He is no longer being intimidated by the Bastard Four (his former bullies) when the latter called them as weak and worthless, causing them to be afraid of him. He is shown no concern of being called a "heretic" when he will unleash a massacre against Ehit's supposedly worshipers, be they humans or demons.
After killing his lead tormentor Daisuke Hiyama for what he did in his betrayal, Hajime regained his life and no longer living in his loneliness and sadness thanks to his teacher. Aiko Hatayama as well became a bit honorable when giving his classmates a second chance and join him to kill Ehit for his sins, but retained his ruthlessness towards his enemies.
After returning to Japan, Hajime is at least a bit merciful as he will pulverize anyone who dare challenge him and left them to be humiliated as he did with the students of the Yaegashi Dojo and bullied and completely humiliated the so-called "Soul Sisters" in public who are annoyances to one of his wives, Shizuku Yaegashi.
Hajime has immense love for his parents. They were responsible for Hajime to become an otaku. While almost dying, Hajime vowed that he will return back home to Japan and reunite with his parents, even if it means to abandoned his kindness and his morality to become a genocidal mass murderer and a god-slaying destroyer.
Even though Hajime has a ruthless and fearless personality, Hajime still has some remnants of his former kindness. He cares deeply for his comrades (harem), for they are the last and only remnant of his humanity that Hajime has not lost or abandoned. He is a super protective father of Myu. He allowed Kaori Shirasaki (his childhood love interest during middle school and future wife) to join him. He let Shizuku (one of his lover and future wives) to keep his crafted sword, Black Blade, as a gift. After he murdered Hiyama, Hajime gave his classmates second chances but kept his warning thanks to Suzu, Ryutarou and Shizuku's begging though initially declared he will never rejoin them again. Hajime had promised Kaori if she dies, he will revive her with a stronger body. Hajime made more adjustments for his classmates' weapons and armor after opens his work. When he failed on Suzu's bracelets for enhancements, Hajime gives Suzu a pair of twin iron fans (one of his masterpieces) as a gift. Hajime at least obliged to Suzu's pleas to give her chance to talk some sense into Eri . Although he doesn't care for his classmates, Hajime was willing to bring them back to Japan,although only if they wanted to. If they chose to remain in Tortus, Hajime would leave them there and return to Japan for good without any hesitation.
Despite being ruthless, Hajime has a somewhat charitable side, when he faced Cattleya. Hajime gave her a chance to withdraw for her life and despite Hiyama and Shimizu being traitors and the horrors they did, Hajime was still willing to spare them if they learned from their mistakes and mend themselves. Hajime was also willing to give Eri a second chance [albeit only on Suzu's pleas], even after she was a crazy, sadistic, psychopathic traitor who tried to destroy the Heiligh Kingdom, nearly killed everyone in the Hero's Party and tried to transform Kaori in Hiyama's undead sex slave.
It as also been shown that even if he doesn't care for Tortus, Hajime is even willing to help the helpless, especially if his party persuades him, as shown when he helped save Akanji out of his party´s appeals.
His "Otaku" habits still remained unchanged as it's grown on him and his wife, Kaori Shirasaki. After returning to Japan, Hajime still getting used of watching anime and movie, reading manga and playing video games while with Kaori. Due to his otaku nature, Hajime also has a several fetishes that can get him quite aroused, such as as his strong preference for female beastwomen, especially rabbits. One example is when he caressed Shea´s ears, a habit that grew even more after he made Shea on of his lovers.

One of Hajime's classmates who is also a traitor working for Garland as a spy. It is unknown how Eri personally felt for him, but Eri is attempting to kill Hajime and the rest of their classmates due to him and them being in her way of making Kouki as her boyfriend. When he arrived, Hajime prevented Eri's "Soul Blind" from turning Kaori into Hiyama's undead sex slave, Eri betrayed Hiyama and cowardly asked Hajime to spare her life to make Kaori as his slave but only anger Hajime even more. When Eri send her slaves to kill Hajime, she is terrified even worse when Hajime destroyed her slaves. Eri tried to kill Hajime with dagger only for Hajime to overpowering her so easily. Hajime tormented Eri worse than the time she was suffered by her mother and stepfather. Hajime is willing to kill her regardless of what has caused her to become a traitor. She feared Hajime worse when he killed Hiyama. Hajime is willing to kill Eri but she got away with Freid. Eri has angered Hajime one last time when she captured Yue and gave her body to Ehit. Since Eri has no resolves left inside of her, he will kill her but no longer needed to when Eri committed suicide by exploding herself
===Noint===
Noint was sent by her master to kill Hajime. She considered Hajime as an "Irregular" that must be remove from Ehit's "chessboard". Hajime, himself, isn't impressed of her and mocked her in battle and killed her with his pile bunker as he scolded her by saying he is more that she could've handle. Hajime used Noint's lifeless body to revive Kaori.
===Freid Bagwa===
Hajime is Freid's swore enemy for not only did he and his party killed Cattleya and Mikhail, but Hajime's disrespects for the false gods. Freid tried to kill Hajime by an ambush to lower his guard, however it failed, Hajime, despite of injuries, he still can fight by shooting at Freid cause him to retreat. When Freid tried to use the Heiligh knights, Hajime's classmates, Remia and Myu as hostages to force Hajime to surrender, Hajime is one step ahead of him by using his satellite laser to destroy Freid's 100,000 initial troops. Hajime called Freid a fool of his mistook thinkings as told to leave or he will destroyed him and his remaining troops. Following with no options, Freid retreat but swore revenge upon Hajime.
===Ehit===
Hajime is Ehit's latest archenemy and killer. After summoned, Ehit belittled Hajime by blessing him non-combat abilities and without superhuman physical abilities.
After his mutation and learned about the gods, at first he originally doesn't care about them but will kill them if they get in his way as a result of his disrespects for the "gods". Hajime refused to rejoin his classmates to suit Kouki's delusions or to take part of Ehit's twisted entertainment by unleashing the massacre to kill the worshipers be they humans or demons
Ehit feared Hajime and his demonic powers when his pawns failed to kill him as Hajime has no concerns for Tortus or its people unlike the Liberators when Hajime unleashed a massacre upon humans and demon pawns. Ehit send Noint to kill Hajime but only for her to die at Hajime's hands which Ehit shown a sheer terror.
With the help of his old teacher, Aiko and Princess Liliana, Hajime has successfully made turn the human supposedly worshipers against the false god and sided with Hajime which Ehit shown in greater fears. Hajime insulted Ehit when he revived Kaori with Noint's corpse.
Ehit then send out his 500 apostles to kill Hajime, his party and the so called "heroes" and attempted for an omnicide to wipe the humanity and the Beastmen race. He fear the worse when all 500 of his apostle creations were all killed by Hajime and his party. When captured and possessed Yue's body, Hajime and Ehit fought until Yue freed herself from Ehit's manipulation allowing Hajime to kill Ehit and destroyed his "game" forever.
==Heroic Side==
Although being mainly an anti-hero, and although being quite uncaring towards those he doesn't care about due to his mistreatment from his classmates, Hajime proved to have a more compassionate side, one of the very few remaining traits of his former kindness, helping those in need when he can and/or as long as it is mutually beneficial.

==Powers and Abilities==
*Mystical Mutation: Hajime gained this mutation by devouring powerful monsters' meat and drank a liquefied mana. He has bypassing level 100's limits. The cost of his mutation is no longer considered to be a human anymore.
**Supernatural Strength: After he devoured many powerful monsters and absorbing their powers for his mutation, Hajime get demonic strength more powerful than demons, Apostles and false gods after slaying Ehit and Alva. Hajime's strength is 12 times more powerful than the supposedly strongest, Kouki Amanogawa. His strength is even greater than strength blessed humans, beastmen, demons and Apostles such as when he killed Noint. His strength is unrivaled and has no equal meaning no one in the Hero Party and Garland's demon troops (such as the supposedly strongest, Kouki Amanogawa and the demons' general Freid) has the strength or power match his strength. His inhuman strength can easily break humans' bones and damage their internal organs even those who were blessed by physical power such as the traitor, Daisuke Hiyama, who was one of the supposedly strongest of the so-called "Hero Party". He easily defeated the supposedly strongest and the so-called "hero" Kouki Amanogawa twice in first the unarmed duel and later his second fight even merged with his doppelganger (which wasn't strong enough to defeat Hajime) without any efforts. His powers are too much for anyone to handle even a spell used by the pope and his bishops still wasn't powerful enough against Hajime when Hajime easily break free this spell and ruthlessly attacked both of the pope and his bishops. He blocked his enemies' weapons (which are blunted and dulled) with his bare fingers such as Meld Loggins' sword. He can easily break weapons and armors with his bare hands as he crumbled Kondou's spear and break both of Meld's and Hiyama's swords as well damaged Kouki's divine armor.
**Supernatural Mobility: Hajime has tremendous speed that not even the masochist hero Kouki Amanogawa can catch his speed and keep dodge attacks that he tried to hit Hajime. His speed is at least 12 times faster than one of his lover/wives, Shizuku Yaegashi.
**Durability/Invulnerability/Regenerative Healing Factor: When unleashed his crimson Mana during his fight with Noint, Hajime get invulnerability, tremendous durability (damage resistant) and regenerative healing factor. He doesn't get a single injury or a scratch from those attacks that are weak such as Cattleya's most powerful attacks, Kouki's sword attacks and Hiyama's fireball. His durability is at least 12 times tougher than Ryutarou Sakagami's. Even an ambush by Freid Bagwa is just not enough to kill Hajime but only to injury him. When his fight against Noint, Hajime only took one slightest injury as it nicked him a little. His regenerative healing factor heals his wounds and recovering himself even if its severe.
**Enhanced Senses: Hajime can sense through any magic attacks even sneak attacks. Along his emotionally intelligence, He can predict every move or plans his enemies who commends only for him to foil every of their plans to ensure his enemies will all be emerged to their defeats in miserable failures. Hajime sensed an evil spirit reeks inside of Kaori's body. Hajime even sensed a large number of monsters outside the courtyard where it is a perfect opportunity to send Hiyama to his demise. Hajime easily predicated that Eri attempt to use Reichi Kondou to stab him from behind when she foolishly believed Hajime "let his guard down" where she completely underestimating Nagumo and his powers.
**Power Absorption: While in his mutation, Hajime has the ability to absorb power from many powerful monsters by eating their meat. He continually devoured the monsters to gain more and more power. The more he eats the monsters, the greater his strength will increase, even further to the point that no ordinary human, not even those who were blessed with physical power, such as Kouki Amanogawa (his idiot classmate), could ever surpass him.
**Immunity: Due to devouring powerful monsters, Hajime has immunity to all source of conditions. He is immune from mind control. Due to drinking alcohol by his father, Hajime is immune from its intoxication.
**Spirit Magic: Hajime can revived anyone who temporarily died by using Noint's body as a vessel when he revived his lover and future wife, Kaori Shirasaki within 5 days.
**Master Hand-to-Hand Combat: Hajime never received any method for training before his mutation. With his mutation, Hajime has tremendous power of hand-to-hand combat. He can easily overpower the supposedly strongest humans, demons, and Apostles even without using his guns. His Hand-to-Hand combat skills are considered to be too dangerous when it holds the power to effortlessly break bones and damage vital organs from humans even those who are blessed with enhanced physical power such as when he thrashed his psychotic self-proclaimed love rival, Daisuke Hiyama, after the latter severely injured Kaori Shirasaki (who is Hajime's lover since she met him in middle school). Hajime has easily thrashed the so-called "chosen hero", Kouki Amanogawa without any efforts or sustain injuries after defeated him so easily even when he used "Limit Break" and merged with his doppelganger which are still too weak to match for Hajime.
**Body Modifications: Hajime has tremendous body modifications. He implanted a cybernetic arm and a eye-like gem to replace his missing body parts. While revived person resided into Noint's body, he made adjustments of modification of the revived person's original body with both Noint's genes and organs through undergo and transplant surgeries to make their bodies tough and cannot die so easily as he did modifications on his lover/wife Kaori.
**High Pain Tolerance: Hajime has shown to be incredibly resistant to injuries and pain, being able to survive just with minor injuries against powerful attacks of enemies such as Noint or Freid Bagwa.
**Electrokinesis: After devouring two wolf-like monsters, Hajime obtained lightning affinity. He can shock his enemies with lightning attacks. With using his revolvers, he imbued his lightning abilities with full charge blast. His lightning can charge liquids including blood such as when he easily electrified the monster (that cut off and eaten his left arm).
*Immense Intelligence, Tactics and Strategics: Despite of his average grades, Hajime is extremely emotionally intelligent even greater than one of his lovers/wives, Shizuku Yaegashi. He is fully aware that Kouki is so naive and delusional enough to not believe and get mad at him instead if he did tell him of Ehit's manipulations which is the reason he will not tell him. Hajime already know Hiyama was attempted to kill him before when he backfired Hiyama's plans towards him and his gang and will use the knowledge for Hiyama's demise when attempted to feign an apology to join Hajime's party purely to get close to Kaori Shirasaki (who is Hajime's lover since middle school). After defeated the weak and selfish Hiyama, Hajime revealed the true reason Kaori will never become Hiyama's girlfriend for his worthless life due to his lack of responsibilities which always caused Hiyama to his own failures as well as his downfall as Hajime was not expected Hiyama to survive when kicked toward the monster hordes. With the help of his teacher, Aiko Hatayama and Princess Liliana S. B. Heiligh, Hajime has successfully turned all of Ehit's human worshipers against the false god himself. Hajime also has the knowledge for strength and weaknesses. Hajime considered Noint as a weak "god's" puppet who stood no chance against him after killing her. He criticized Kouki the reason why Kouki kept on failing is due to his childish idealism even in their fight when Kouki foolishly merged with his doppelganger when Hajime considered Kouki to be an emotional and incompetent weakling who can never defeat him in both strength and willpower as he easily defeated him twice in an unarmed duel and later when Kouki merged with his doppelganger for a pathetic measly power up that is still too weak to defeat Hajime. Hajime knows the all Tortus worshiped the same fake god. Hajime is also one step ahead than the foolish demon general of Garland, Freid Bagwa as Hajime called him the foolish one after wiped out 100,000 demon troops. Unlike Kouki and Ryutarou who were both reckless when fighting their enemies head on without even thinking, Hajime is cautious and sharpish when considering to attack their enemies head on without thinking would lead them to an ambush. He knew that Kouki would eventually betray him because due to his delusions which did happen in the Frost Caverns of Schnee, when Amanogawa fused with his trial doppelganger which is still too weak against Hajime. To rescue Aiko, Remia, Myu and his classmates in Garland, Hajime faked his surrender to easily trick the demons and freed himself from the magic sealing cuffs when he unleashed the massacre upon the demons and the false demon god, Alva.
*Marksmanship: Like earth's military soldiers, Hajime has great accuracy of using firearms and grenades. His revolvers can penetrate high level monsters' durability and pierce through armors such as the Templar Knights and Kouki's strongest armor. While his sniper rifle is 10 times more powerful version than his revolvers. His pile bunker has the power to penetrate through defenses and pierce a powerful individual's weak points such as Noint's heart. One of his wives, Shizuku Yaegashi asked of Hajime's newly rank as a gunner which is unknown to him. Hajime can even hits targets without even looking such firing the monsters surrounding him, Noint of destroying her swords, shooting the undead Reichi Kondou's head off, easily dispelled Hiyama's fireball, shot a monsters who attempt to capture Shizuku and lastly shooting Kouki Amanogawa's kneecaps.
*Training Methods: Through his mutation, Hajime has a harsh and brutal training methods of turning weak willed people into a strong assassin. According to Ryutarou Sakagami, Hajime is considered to be a pupil of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman.
*Weaponry Creations: Hajime created powerful weapons with powerful ores similarities of Earth's military's firearm for war. His shield has powerful defense also reflects the attack back into his enemies. His hammer is one of his greatest masterpieces a gift to one of his lovers/wives, Shea Haulia. His black sword is one his greatest masterpiece that is light but cuts through anything and cannot be broken as it was a gift for one of his lovers/wives, Shizuku Yaegashi. His mini-gun has incredible power and hold 12000 bullets and his anti-tank rocket can caused great explosion though outnumbered but not outgunned. Hajime's orbital satellite laser can destroy countries and lands and the lives within when he demonstrated of extinguished over 100,000 demon troops under Freid Bagwa's commands. His shotgun shells don't contain ordinary gunpowder, but poison needles. He created powerful grenades and bullets from monsters' manas and genes. His Twin Iron Fans are powerful fans imbue the user's blood for barriers and tornadoes as it was a gift for Suzu Taniguchi to replace her failed enhanced bracelets. Though he may not be a creator of other weapons, Hajime can only enhance those weapons to strengthen them such as Ryutarou's gauntlets but cannot enhance weapons that have too much adjustments (such as Kouki's sword and armor) when only weakened the so-called "hero's" equipment.
**Vehicle Creations: Hajime created any source of vehicles for transportation. His motorcycle similar to an american gang's bikes while carries 3 people. His truck carried at least 10 people similar to military hummer. His bus carried 20 people. His submarine is similar to a navy submarine but lava-proof. His aircraft travel many places in few minutes. His speed boat is similar to a navy speed boat. Hajime not only created these vehicles for transportation, but equipped with heavy guns. Despite of him didn't get his driver licenses, he can still drive his vehicles.
*Medical Knowledge: Hajime created elixir to heal wounds even if it's severe. But it cannot help those are beyond saving such as Yukitoshi Shimizu after shot at the heart by unknown demon assailant.
*Murder and Torture Methodologies: Hajime has tremendous methods to murder, torture and harass those who are his enemies. In various occasions, Hajime harassed only two of his companions who are perverted to him such as Shea and Tio (though they always get use to it). In interrogation, Hajime tortures his enemies to give him all evidence and intellect that he needs before ending them such as Cattleya and Alva. He tortured the spirit who controls Kaori's body by using bullet that inflict pain mentally without physical harm to Kaori's body. For those who harmed his companions, Hajime tortures, abuses and kills those who harmed his companions in one of his worst methods when he brutally thrashed Daisuke Hiyama and later feed his former bully to the monsters after his supposedly murder on Kaori Shirasaki (who is one of Hajime's lovers since middle school). If anyone said Yue's name without honorifics, Hajime will brutalize those who hold no rights to say Yue's name in an even worse case because he gave her a name so casually when he easily thrashed Kouki Amanogawa (his classmate who is a self-deluded idiot).
*Terrakinesis: After his "blessing" and summoning, Hajime became a synergist, with the ability to transmutate materials. Realizing this, he learnt to use it in order to manipulate the earth under his feet, creating defensive barriers of various dimensions, from small to enormous. It is by using this capability that he allowed his classmates to escape from the Behemoth (allowing even Hiyama to eventually betray and try to kill him).
*Great Leadership: As the leader of the Returnees, his own party, which is not a part of the so-called "Hero Party", Hajime has a great leadership which allowed him and his party to easily win at every battles and successfully conquered the Great Labyrinths. He has splendid commands over his companions who are completely obedience and loyal towards him due to their undying love for him. His leaderships are also helps those to become strong from the resolves (except for Kouki Amanogawa due to his weak resolve and willed of devotion to his so-called "justice"). His commands over Yue are powerful enough to destroy anyone who stood in his path effortlessly even in large numbers. His commands over Tio are more powerful enough to destroy buildings easily including the Holy Church's Temple which purposely killed the pope and all of his bishops whom failed in their attempt to interfere Hajime's battle against Noint. His leadership over the fake heroes allowed themselves to successfully complete their trials (except for Kouki who is an idiot and the only one who failed in his trial because of his weaknesses and delusions even in his easy and effortless defeat at the hands of Hajime). Because of his powerful leadership, Hajime doesn't take orders from those who are weak and misguided such as Kouki due to his delusions pride and childish ideal of his useless heroisms as well Amanogawa's poorly leadership (that classmates started betraying him and the other students mainly Eri and Hiyama).

==Trivia==

*As the anti-heroic protagonist of the series, Hajime adopts many qualities of different kinds of anti-heroic archetypes:
**Hajime, like some of the other protagonists, started out the weakest in the start of the series.
**He (along some of the other protagonists who suffered tragedies) was abused and bullied as well betrayed by his respective enemy/self-proclaimed "love rival".
**Through his suffering after being betrayed by his falsely ally, Nagumo, like all the others, became the strongest of his series as well completely surpassed all of his classmates (including his idiot classmates who are the most hated and the weakest characters in the series, Kouki Amanogawa and Daisuke Hiyama) when his journey of vengeance has began after he obtained the power of darkness and mutated into a hybrid due to him eating the monsters' meat and gaining their power but no longer as a pureblooded human.
***Like the other protagonists, after obtaining the power of darkness to achieve his goals, Hajime undergoes a rather grueling and overwhelming training in order to endure, fully develop and learn how to use and completely control over his newly dark and monstrous powers to take out all those who stand in their way with ease.
**In the end, Hajime (just like those in the categories) successfully exacted vengeance upon the one who betrayed him when he vengefully killed his lead tormentor Daisuke Hiyama by savagely beating him up and feeding him alive to death by the monsters for what this deluded maniac did not only to Nagumo and Kaori Shirasaki, but also the innocent lives he sacrifices for Eri Nakamura's twisted yet delusional schemes as well brought an end to his weak and incompetent self-proclaimed love rival's insolence towards Nagumo and delusional fantasies of Kaori for good.
**After killing Hiyama for his delusions and sins, Hajime (just like the others) has the Heiligh Kingdom and the Holy Church to clear his name from the falsely accusation of heresy and treason after Ehit's lies and deceptions where discovered and exposed when Nagumo has successfully turned humanity against the false god with the helps of both his teacher Aiko Hatayama and Princess Liliana S. B. Heiligh and Ehit's supposedly human worshipers (who were once devoted to him), is now fully aware seeing just how rotten and cruel Ehit truly is.
**When his classmates asked of him what exactly happened to him after he fell to the abyss of the Orcus Labyrinth, Hajime (like the other protagonists who destroyed the tarnished reputations of the most hated and weakest villains who were their own self-proclaimed love rivals permanently) later completely ruined Daisuke Hiyama's already tarnished reputation by revealing to his classmates that Hiyama fired at him intentionally, not accidentally causing everyone to completely written Hiyama off as a self-deluded traitor as well lost their remnant trace of sympathy for this sociopathic fool when they finally realized that Hiyama has truly been a filthy villain at this time.
