Chiharu Matsuyamachi

**Chiharu Matsuyamachi** (松 (まつ) 屋 (や) 町 (まち)  散 (ち) 春 (はる) , *Matsuyamachi Chiharu*?) is the main antagonist of the Jagaaaaaan manga and one of the most powerful Fractured Humans thus far. He was infected with a Frenzied Tadpole and became the **Fractured Human, "Hidarikki"**, granting him the ability to grow and manipulate trees from his body and met his partner, the "**Hawk of Paradise**", **Naraku**.

## Appearance

   Chiharu is a man of average height with long grey/silver hair in the style of a pony tail, grey eyes and larger than average canines.

He is usually seen wearing nothing but the wood made from his ability.

   While under the guise of 'Nabingo', Chiharu allows the wood he generates to cover him completely; giving himself a more demonic look with an open mouthed, sharp toothed smile, and dark eyes.

As opposed to being completely naked like in his human form, Nabingo seems to enjoy wearing overalls, white gloves, work boots, and a baseball cap that reads "D.D.L." on the front of it.

## Personality

Chiharu has the belief that people should live more selfishly and that those who "half-ass" their selfishness don't have any value in their lives, calling himself a selfishness supremacist. Those he deems not selfish enough, he turns into trees to recycle what he believes are worthless lives. His desire to spread this point is so great, that he causes the Mass fracturing disaster, which killed over 4000 people, simply to prove a point to Shintarou Jagasaki and Misogi Hakuto. This involved him having to kill possibly hundreds of Fractured Humans and not allowing Naraku to eat any of the Frenzied Frogs, showing an intense dedication in both of the two and an especially good control of their emotions and desires in Chiharu, as this means he snorted only a few (if any) Duhnng-Balls from any of the digested remains of the Frenzied Frogs during his battles with the Fractured Humans.

Chiharu also sees justice as just another form of violence, mentioning how people who lack it are labeled as "*evil*". This philosophy leads him to say that people hurt others unconsciously, but since they aren't conscious of this, they think themselves to be good, leading Chiharu to believe this is how fights arise. All of this causes him to feel no guilt whatsoever for the Mass Fracturing Disaster as, in his eyes, all he did was merely give form to all the fighting caused by justice and life in a beautiful work of art.

Chiharu ultimately seems to have some kind of obsession with Jagasaki, seeing as how most of the things that he's done have been because of Jagasaki's existence. When he first met him, he seemed to want nothing else but his death, as he thought he wasn't selfish enough. After saving him from Shakuntani, however, Chiharu seemed to see Jagasaki's selfishness as being "*pretty good*", as his near fracturing had caused massive damage to the high school and could've destroyed the whole building and killed all the people around it, including his junior officer, Clarabelle Kawamoto had he kept fracturing. It is after this incident that Chiharu forms his obsession, as after this he meets with Jagasaki again, to tell him that he's been investigating him heavily, as out of the whole of Heiwa Happiness Heroes, he likes him more than the rest, due to Jagasaki being the only one to actually leave the group. During his talk with Jagasaki, he told him just how much investigating he did, telling him of how he found out Bell was his trigger, threatening him by suggesting he may kill her to get Jagasaki to fully fracture and show his full power.

## Powers and Abilities

### Increased Reaction Time

During his first encounter with Shintarou Jagasaki, Chiharu is able to catch a bullet shot at him using his wooden tentacles. As Jagasaki was using his handgun form, it can be estimated that his bullet was going at the same speed as a 38. special revolver which, at the slowest, can travel 671ft a second (or 204.521 m/s). This means that he must have some form of super human reaction speed, whether this was something he was able to do before he became a Fractured Human or it's a side effect of becoming one is unknown.

### Botanical Growth

Chiharu's unique ability as a fractured human is the ability to grow and manipulate wood from within his left arm which allows for a large variety of plant based abilities. The wood that he produces can either be used to cover his own body or grow outwards from the ground which seem to follow Chiharu's will. The upper limits of his abilities are currently unknown, although one could argue that he is only limited by his own desires. Chiharu seems to have a great deal of control over his Fractured Ability despite not having them for very long nor needing the constant use of Duhnng Ball's to prevent his Fracturing to worsen.

### Wood Weapons/Armor

Using his primary ability of Wood Generation and Manipulation Chiharu can grow wood from his arm outwards. This can grow to cover parts of his body or cover him completely depending on what he decides is necessary. The wood can enlarge the parts of his body he has them cover, drastically increasing his strength as seen in his first fight against Jagasaki. Acting as a live suit of armor, if attacked Chiharu can grow his ability further to shield himself. While strong it would seem that his ability still suffers from the same weakness that any piece of wood would have, such as fire or being sawn through.

Although not only used for battle purposes, Chiharu can use his Botanical Grow to cover himself up hiding his identity. Such an instance was when he had been under the guise of Nabingo, using his ability to cover his entire body in a more form fitting layer of roots.

### Tree Roots

        Chiharu can manipulate the wood grown from his arm to grow outwards from his body in large amounts. These thick roots can encase and trap intended targets, or pierce most biological creatures. Most of the time, if he deems them not selfish enough, Chiharu will turn the target into a tree, so as their body can be recycled into something he deems more useful. He appears to have a very good handle of his abilities, being able to use them with fairly good precision as well as in overwhelming amounts. Although it would seem that his roots are not unbreakable, as Mikazuchi's Fractured ability to Harden was not able to be penetrated by Chiharu's Roots. It would also seem that brute strength is capable of tearing through the wood as well.

### Biological Tinkering

By using his plants within the body of a Frenzied Frog he was able to change the creatures genetics. It is unknown to what extent that Chiharu can change a creature, although he was capable of turning an ordinary Frenzied Frog into a Gargantuan Frenzied Frog capable of producing Froglet eggs.

### Self-Resurrection

Upon fighting monsterous Noman Nomen, his body is slightly cut in half. After that he's try to saving Shintarou Jagasaki from falling, he died cauze of fatal wound before and cut in half. In the end chapter its reveal that Chiharu have abillity to self-resurrection using his seed plant.

Chiharu is able to revive upon death after some time. He's still die, so it would be inaccurate to call him immortal, but his death is ultimately meaningless as he will respawn. Generally this happens by returning to life in a specific location where his plant seed re-grow.

However this ability is not Absolute. Chiharu may still be able to meet his final death and can be slain permanently by specific means, or when certain conditions are met like he's not spare his DNA to plant seed before his death,

## Trivia

It may be that Chiharu is left-handed, as he is almost always seen using said arm to use his ability. This may be a subtle direct opposition by the author to Jagasaki, the protagonist of the series, who exclusively uses his right arm to shoot his enemies.
