Hajime Team

The **Hajime Team** *(兆チーム, Hajime chīmu*), previously known as the **Sitri Runaways** *(シトリーの逃亡, Shitori no tōbō*), is a independent group of seven, previously five, Sacred Gear Users lead by Hajime Saji, the granddaughter of Kouho Saji. They're the main antagonists of Volume 4 through Volume 6.

## Overview

Adopted by the mad scientist Fuichi Miyama, six orphans plus his own son would undergo painful, monstrous experiments on holy, demonic and dragonic powers in order to adquire both their Sacred Gears and enough resistence in order to be the first generation of human soldiers for the day he, alongside Ramasus Goch Ambrosius and the Chaos Insurgency would invade the *otherworlds*. One day, however, the seven survivors escaped their maniacal incarceration, and after some time, adopted by different families, thus also acquiring different names and enrolling in different schools. One day, one of Fuichi's creation brought them together once again and sought to bring them back to his lair, activating their sacred gears for the first time. Since them, the group was bring together to achieve one single goal: Find and kill Fuichi Miyama, and if possible, Ramasus.

After the events of Volume 6 that almost brought their own Downfall, the group settled down in Kuoh Town, still planning their revenge under the Sitri and Gremory clans' custody, their leader shell-shocked and with a new member with them, the key to find Fuichi's location.

## Members
