Joben Manmitsu

**Joben Manmitsu** (万光上辺, *Manmitsu Joben*?) is the founder of the drug cartel known as El Camino. He is a Stray Otherworlder and the indirect cause of Hiroomi's death. He serves as a deuteragonist, and later, second major antagonist of Distortion of Tensura Proper.

## Appearance

Minoru is a young man of average height with brown eyes and brown hair worn in a style typically known as a two-block cut. When not wearing his school uniform his casual attire consists of a white jacket and blue pants.

## Personality

Joben Manmitsu was shown to be a ruthless, highly intelligent, sadistic, somewhat humorous and exuberant man whose entire motivation was "*Just Make Money*". He was cheerful and charismatic, but vicious when the situation called for it. Yuuki Kagurazaka himself said that Joben had great "showmanship" abilities.

Joben was shown to be very capable of cold-blooded murder as seen when he brutally murdered two junkies who refused to pay, and as revealed by a story he enthusiastically recounted of running over two parents during one of his night outings in a drunken state. Which turned out to be the parent's of Yuuki Kagurazaka.

During his bail hearing, Joben showed a complete lack of remorse for killing the parents, as well as total indifference to the victim's son being there. Joben maintained his calm demeanor, acting as though it was nothing, and even giving off a smug attitude seeing the rage in the young Yuuki's eyes, knowing he was not going to see the inside of a jail cell.

Joben was seen to be an extremely skilled investigator as well as seen during his search for the original Rimuru Tempest and eventually Zarasu' secret construction project, showing his dedication to accomplishing whatever goal he was focused on. He was also shown to be a seasoned brawler, tactician, and marksman as he was able to single-handedly take out at least 5 assassins sent by Damrada to kill him and also disable one of the assailants with a concealed razor blade and chopping off his foot with an axe even after being knocked down. Although he attributed him coming out unscathed to his Unique Skill, he states that without it he would be injured, but still alive.

His strong cunning was seen by him faking his own death in order to exact revenge on Damrada and Yuuki and also tracking down Yuuki's secretary, Kagali, and interrogate her for information while posing as a harmless business man.

## Background

As a child, Joben loved to read, a habit that was encouraged by his mother, even in poverty when they can't afford many books. His father often abused his mother, and Joben himself occasionally. Despite his occasional beatings, Taizen Manmitsu taught him a lot about his experiences of the world and his regrets throughout his live whenever he isn't in a drunken stupor, where he was told the value of money and power, and make it his life's goal to "*just make money*."

Eventually, things came to a head when his mother lashed back and killed his own father with an ashtray. Shocked at the death of his father, Joben admitted he wasn't in the right mind. He picked up a kitchen knife and rushed to his mother, and instead to disarming the boy which she easily could've, she choose to take the hit and embrace her son. She was quickly taken to a hospital where her wounds strangely heard rapidly. In prison, Sūchī Mikasa wrote a bestselling novel about their troubled domestic life and of how she killed her husband. She intended for the revenue made by the book to go to her son, but it instead went to the pockets of his neglectful foster parents.

Taking the money that was hidden by his mother, an amount totaling at 1,3 Million Yen which he would hide from his foster parents. He used it to spend most of his time in libraries, drowning himself in books to forget about watching his father get beaten to death and his attempt at his mother's life. Which would become the basis for the Unique Skill he would obtain later.

Though it is unknown with what method, he had already made a fairly large drug operation made out of his fellow schoolmates in highschool, taking into heart the mindset his father had imparted, and the money he "inherited" from his mother. It was as a freshman when he killed Yuuki's parents during his celebration of making the largest sale yet. He became acquainted with Hiroomi sometime during middle school and invited him to a night out in Roppongi with his other friends, where he would indirectly cause his death. 2 weeks later, he would be transported to the central world as a Stray Otherworlder.
