Гото Рюджи

**Гото Рюджи** (고토 류지) - ранее сильнейший охотник Японии.

## Внешность

Гото - мужчина средних лет с черными волосами, c чувством стиля и аккуратно подстриженной бородой. В момент использования магии его глаза светятся чистым белым светом. Во время рейда на остров Чеджу он был одет в стандартную черную боевую форму своей гильдии и использовал красную катану.

## Личность

Внешне Гото Рюджи выглядит спокойным, собранным и вежливым человеком, который редко проявляет признаки тревоги или гнева. Однако на самом деле он поглощен самоуверенностью и жестоко пренебрегает другими: он оставил корейских охотников S-ранга умирать ради собственной выгоды и не проявил никакого сочувствия к членам своей гильдии, когда обнаружил их трупы. Он также был весьма амбициозен, доказательством чего являются его намерения стать охотником Национального уровня после устранения побега из врат на острове Чеджу. Гото обладает очень хрупким эго, так как начинает нервничать, когда сталкивался с более сильным противником чем он сам, как это было с Джин-Ву.

## История

About four years after the emergence of the Jeju Island S-Rank Gate, ant attacks began to occur on the south coast of Japan, resulting in the deaths of dozens of Japanese civilians and hunters. Realizing that the ants of Jeju Island could no longer be ignored, Goto flew to Korea to meet with Go Gunhee and offered to help the Korean government rid the island of the ants and finally reclaim the territory once and for all. With nothing to lose and with no other choice, Gunhee accepted his offer.

Four days before the day of the Jeju Island Raid, Goto met up with the rest of the Jeju Island Raid Party inside the Korean Hunters Gym and witnessed Jinwoo restrain Atsushi Kumamoto when the latter got carried away in his sparring match with Cha Hae-In. Suspicious as to whether Jinwoo was actually a mage-type hunter like the official report had said, Goto challenged him to a 1v1 sparring match and discovered that Jinwoo was able to move fast enough to dodge his attacks.

Realizing that he wouldn't be able to land a hit as long as he kept holding back, Goto unleashed his full power and attacked Jinwoo with the intent to kill, giving him a small cut on his cheek. Before he could try anything else, however, Jinwoo grabbed his hand. Realizing that Jinwoo hadn't been taking him seriously, Goto aggressively charged him, but Kei and Hoshino restrained him out of fear that he would get injured if the fight progressed and the match ended right there with no clear victor.

During the Jeju Island Raid, Goto divided his guild members into four teams. As the raid progressed, Goto suddenly lost contact with his guild members in Teams Charlie and Delta, and stumbled across their corpses in his search for them. Unmoved by their deaths and dismissing them as weaklings, he then relayed the news to Chairman Matsumoto, revealing that they never had any real intentions of helping the Koreans reclaim Jeju and had only offered to "help" in order to annihilate the Korean S-Rank Hunters for their own ends.

Believing that their mission had succeeded, Matsumoto ordered Goto and his surviving guild members to leave the island and abandon the Korean raid team to die. Before they could do so, however, they were ambushed by the Ant King, who decapitated Ishida in one strike. Believing that he could win, Goto decided to fight and ordered Hoshino to leave him behind and join up with Team Bravo. Unfortunately, the Ant King was too strong for Goto and took his head off in one slice, an ironic death considering that all of his so-called weakling guild members had died in the exact same way.

## Умения

Goto was the strongest hunter in Japan and his power earned him great fame from the public. As a testament to his strength, he was strong enough to create lethal bursts of wind pressure with his strikes and was fast enough to deflect the Ant King's first attack when the monster ambushed him. His senses were also sharp enough for him to almost instantly detect Jinwoo's massive strength.

Despite his skills, however, he was no match for Jinwoo, who easily defeated him in their sparring match, or the Ant King, who killed him in one shot. He was also noted to be completely outclassed by Liu Zhigang, China's strongest hunter, in power by a Chinese navy captain who had seen them both in action firsthand.
