Date Masamune

**Bontenmaru** is the future Date Masamune(伊達正胸) and a christian samurai.

## Appearance

Bontenmaru has blonde hair and heterocromatic eyes, one chestnut, the other blood red, which causes her to wear an eyepatch due to people calling her a demon child. she tends to wear black clothes with christian adornments. Finally, it has been noted that she is both asian and not, a mixed ancestry which is not exactly unnoticed by her peers.

## Personality

Bontenmaru very much seems to value christianity, but she values it most because she believes herself to be the beast spoken of in revelations himself in human form, in other words she happily expresses, with 8th grader syndrome and a whole lot of over the top whackiness to boot, that she will eventually destroy the entire world.

However, she really is just a hyperactive child seeking some form of love and attention which she is unfortunately deprived off often and made fun off for her eyes and racial type.

Due to her 8th grader syndrome she seems to believe she can summon demons and form seals and barriers, despite the clear reality. Yoshiharu describes her as the perfect "Jakigan" character, and ultimately, due to explaining to her how she can use her Heterchomia to scare off her enemies, he ends up inspiring her, unintentionally and without even realising who she is, to usurp the throne of Oshu, take over Japan and join the Nanban to sink the country to the bottom of the ocean as the beast of revelation should.

She seems to look up to Yoshiharu, who can reason with her very well at times, and admires Nobuna, due to the similar backgrounds they bare. When it comes down to it, half of her actions thus far have actually been encouraged by Yoshiharu's words and her own ambitions or delusions.

## Background

Her mother was said to have had an affair with an unnamed foreigner, which led to Bontenmaru's birth and subsequently the tension between her parents. Her brother is the favourite while she is percieved as evidence of her mother's affair.

Because of her eyes, her people began to believe she was punished by the Buddah due to her birth, and half banished her to Sakai, even her own mother seemed to find her eyes hard to look at, calling them ugly.

Her Aide since young is Katakura Kojuurou.

## Plot

### Kyoto Arc

She first appears when Yoshiharu enters a christian church, at which point she attempts to keep him out using a seal, which obviously doesn't work. When she tries to draw her sword, she is stopped by Louise Frois, who asks her not to be rude to those who come to hear the words of their god, Bontenmaru submits, but continues to complain to Yoshiharu until he ends up picking her up and treating her rather comically like a child. After Yoshiharu encourages her and tells her the truth about her Heterochromia and calls her a "jakigan" character, she ends up becoming inspired by him and decides to use her "jakigan" to conquer Oshu. Shocked, Yoshiharu asks who she is and she calls herself Date Masamune before running off to usurp the throne, conquer Oshu and take over the entire country thus leaving Yoshiharu to contemplate the consequences of what he has just done.

### Retreat at Kanegasaki Arc

Back in Oshu, Bontenmaru builds an anti-christ church and summons her aide Katakura Kojuurou. She declares that she will take up the name "Jakigan Masamune", noting how Yoshiharu said her eyes were popular in the future, and decides to overthrow her father, take over the surrounding territories and dominate her way straight into Kyoto, where she will duel Nobuna to see who the real demon lord is. Half terrified, half confused, Kojuurou ends up dragged into it behind her master.
