**Joudougahama Lost** (浄 (じょう) 土 (ど) ケ (が) 浜 (はま) ロスト, **Jōdōgahama Rosuto** ?) is a mysterious devil and currently the Devil King Candidate of Death's Arcana. He is also the leader of Death's Group, where other Candidates, which he recruited, deal with other problematic Candidates that are a bad match up with the members' Arcana. He has other unknown intentions, which was later revealed to be the destruction of the devil king Academy and make a revolution in the Devil World, destroy it and then rebuild it to make it a better place to live for low-class devils while pushing the noble devils down. He was also briefly good friend with Yuuto during his childhood.

## Appearance

Lost is a young man around Yuuto's age with an athletic build. He has short, bright red hair with some loose bangs covering his forehead and golden eyes. He wears a long black hooded jacket, casual white shirt, black choker around the neck and damaged black jeans with a white belt. He is constantly seen with a gentle expression and a friendly smile but with eyes that look like a corpse and an air of mystery and approaching death. His hood covers his wolf like ears, sigh he is mixed blood devil.

When he gets serious, his atmosphere changes completely. His face becomes expressionless and his voice becomes lifeless and emotionless.

However, as a result of the experiments he underwent, Lost true form is black swampy-like liquid.

## Personality

Unlike other devils, who are mostly arrogant, boastful and possessive, Lost at first appears to be an easy-going, relaxed and friendly individual with a gentle way of talking. He is shown to be always calm and collected no matter the situation including life-threatening ones. Lost also seems to be very clever, manipulative and convincing as he influences several other Devil king candidates to work together while left one of them to die during a battle, removing battle power from one of them and later kill him. Because of his power and true nature, Lost is very brave and fearless showing no worry for his well-being in any situation, even standing in front of and declaring his goal face to face to the current Devil King.

Lost has a strong hatred and grudge against the current system in the devil world including the nobles which rule him, as it's only them who have more and more benefit whereas low-ranked and poor ones are constantly in a negative spiral. His goals were to destroy the Devil king academy and them the entire devil world and them rebuild him yet with low ranked devils being on the top this time. Despite his goal is seemingly generous, Lost was well aware that this could lead to antipathy and insurrection from others thus he seek someone who shares his view which he believes would be Yuuto since he was a human and experienced how noble devils in the academy treated him and others humans. He even offers him that if he joins him, he entrusted him a human world if he becomes a Devil king. His words were so convincing and earnest that Yuuto almost accepts his offer at first but later reject him as he saw a Lost´s way being too exaggerated.

However, Lost was also shown to be very cold and ruthless as he kills several Mario's cards without hesitation or second thinking and has a strongly intimidating side to such an extent, where the notably powerful Hoshigaoka Stella got goosebumps out of fear from him and was unable to move until he vanishes. He also shows no hesitation to kill Yuuto after he rejects his offer to join him.

In the past, Lost was very kind, strong-wiled, and protective of his kin as he stands up for his friends and share his food with them when needed. He was also rectless and power hungry as he was deluded by a noble to become stronger by infusing a blood of monster while being fooled by claiming its safe. After found it all false and being unable to escape, Lost was still able to survive the experiments and further infusing of the blood of monsters, holding himself alive by his willpower, hatred and vengeance for nobles, which ultimately benefited him as he uses his new powers to not just free himself but also to massacre the entire clan responsible for his suffering and even managed to claim the Arkana of Death, which could help him to archive his goal to take nobles down and make a fine place for all mixed-blood devils to make them live happily.

Lost has shown to be both prideful and disgusted by what he has become as he said Yuuto that he himself no longer know what he is and avoid Poran despite not seeing her after years, coldly telling her he isnt the Lost she knew, being visibly ashamed by his new self. He was willing to go to great lenght to archive his goal no matter the means he must use. Despite of his bad traits, Lost remains some of his kindness as he saved Rinne form her abusive family which try to kill her despite his hatred for nobles and was shocked and saddened what she did to herself while she attempt to save him. He have also strong friendship with Yuuto during their childhood often playing a tag or friendly fighting together. He also doens´t look down on humans unlike the nobles and was willing to give a human world to Yuuto if he managed to win a Devil king war, showing that he truly has degree of care for humans as such. When was losing his battle to Yuuto Lost was crying in both anger and brokenly as he only wishes to laugh with everyone and enjoying a happy live.

## History

He has made a group with other candidates but it's plotting something unknown behind it, he makes Yuuto think that Marios is the leader of the Death's Group, essentially tricking Marios and killing him. In volume's 3 epilogue he talks to Yuuto, he says he consider Yuuto his only comrade because both are Rebels of the Devil king Academy.

## Powers and Abilities

Despite Lost was originally a mixed-blood devil and thus being weak compare to nobles, he underwent various body modifications and receiving blood from many different monsters by noble experiments, resulting him becoming monstrously powerful as a result. As a testament of his true powers he was able to singlehandedly wiped out a entire clan of noble devils which was responsible for his creation. When using his power in the first time during devil king wars, he effortlessly killed another devil king candidate Marios, ending his very existence. Stella's impression is that he could kill her if he gets serious, despite the fact that she is one of the most powerful candidates, terifing her in process by sensing his anomality. His mere presence along with Rinne was enough to change the flow of battle of Yuuto, Rikimaru, and Seigi and their cards, where he managed, albeit shortly, occupied both Sannou sisters with ease. Despite hiding his power most of the time, Sansa acknowledge that his power could be immeasurable. Another powerfull devil king candidate Aspite acknowledged how dangerous Lost was, and rather fled at his first encounter with him rather than risk fighting him alone. During his final a batlle with Yuuto and Aspite he have upher hand in fight against them it ultimately takes a help of Yuuto cards and unlocking his characteriscit magic of his Arcana to kill him despite still being able to preasured him until the end.

**Unique** **Physiology:** As a resulf of experiment performed on him and being infused a blood of various monsters, Lost become unable to maintain his form and his body become a living magic formula in form of black muddy-like liquit which devour death devils literally becoming a living swamp of death itself. Lost´s unique body structure grants him many benefits like adaptivity to any environment and nigh-invulnerability because his body is essentially a magic formula that absorbs others formulas which makes him almoust immune to magic attacks while physical attacks only makes him change a shape since his original body is a liquid. Because this indeterminate form, he has little mana consumption and having incredible physical strenght. Although powerful as a drawback of this Lost himself is unable to use magic because of the magic formula in his vanish body before he manages to form it. Also very powerful magic like World Fall is able to destroy him and due to the negativity in his body he proved prone to the cleansing effect of Yuuto's Sein in sword form.

**Immortality:** Lost demonstrated to be unable to die by normal means. He has killed one of Marios´s card monster and later was buried under the debris of the building but after a while, he always appears as if nothing has happened. He claims that it's such because of his Arcana. However later Lost revealed that this is result of sorcerer modifications on him which make his body undying along with his unique form.

During his battle with Yuuto and Aspite, he fully makes his skin into armor and turning his lower body into a horse akin to that of a centaur as well as creating various weapons like a scythe, sword, or spear from his hands. However even more terrifying trait of this ability is that Lost is able to absorb his enemíes into him, taking their power, abilities and even their blood lineage as he did with the original owner of the Death arcana the take his qualification as a new devil king candidate

He is also very good in manipulating others and effectively manipulating other candidates so that some of them lost several cards and this lead to the death of 2 of them (where he personally kill one of them) and at the same time constantly analyzing his enemy.
