Obe Nobunari

— Obe Nobunari.

**Obe Nobunari** (王部　信成おべ　のぶなり, *Obe Nobunari*; "*Nobunari Obe*") was the "No. 2 of the Ogun Union", but also the actual founder of the organization, placing Ogun Tetsuma as the main leader to use his charisma and attract various hoodlums, thugs and criminals in order to become the most feared criminal organization.

Realizing he could not control Tetsuma as his pawn any longer, Obe decided to create his personal army and plotted against Tetsuma for several years, creating various connections and alliances to overthrow Tetsuma's legion.

## Appearance

Obe has shaved hair with a distinctive line on one side. His eyes are two different colors and his left eye has a scar over it, which follows his distinctive line in his hair. His eyebrows have a unique swirly pattern and he wears glasses. He wears a v-neck shirt with three buttons on the right side.

## Personality

Obe is known for his silent nature, being eerily quiet most of the time and displays a serious face. Due to this, other members of Ogun Union describe Obe as cruel and scarier than Ogun Tetsuma. In reality, Obe is very calculative and intelligent, as proven for his whole plan on overthrowing Tetsuma and plotting in secret for years. Although not specifically mentioned, Obe seems to be aware when someone would betray them, as seen with Yasude Eiji backstabbing him and ran away.

— Obe Nobunari.

Obe hides his true emotions under a stoic expression until his plan comes into fruition after Ogun Tetsuma starts to go on a violent rampage: Obe expressed enthusiasm and praises Tetsuma's true violent side, claiming the "real Tetsuma" will destroy anyone and anything in his path. Even after badly wounded, he kept on praising Tetsuma and wanted to see more of his violence personality, to the point of being fanatical and nigh-insane.

## Biography

### Past & Youth

Not much is known in his younger days, though it can be assumed he used to live the criminal lifestyle ever since he was young. At some point during his lifetime, Obe received his infamous scar over his left eye and would become a known hoodlum within the criminal underworld.

#### Convincing Tetsuma & Foundation of Ogun Union

He would tracked down Ogun Tetsuma and meet him in a sushi restaurant, attempting to convince Ogun to become the leader of the future organization due to his charisma and made it clear he will not allow Ogun to leave the restaurant.. Initially, Ogun was reluctant and would laugh at the proposition, only to answer by beating Obe bloodily but managed to convince Tetsuma in the end. Obe would create organization that would become the Ogun Union, placing Tetsuma as the leader and the organization attracted a great number of hangures over the years.

Obe agreed to follow Tetsuma's decisions, although he knew Tetsuma would dislikes the idea of the Ogun Union importing and selling drugs and an organization without a black market is an organization who won't be recognized. However, he already had something else in mind and planned it meticulously for years, something Tetsuma would also be aware of but didn't cared about it.

### Present Day

Obe goes to Sanjou Ichiri's high school festival to try and kidnap her, because B.J. requested him to do so. Months prior, B.J. stole Obe's cocaine shipment and currently has leverage over him.

At the Brawlers Festival, Obe gives B.J. Shuma Rei to receive half of his cocaine back. During this time, Obe and B.J. decide to team up because their goals are similar, as well to eliminate the Chinese hitman Mèng Yán. However, this alliance was short lived, after B.J. brutally murdered Kenyuu.

## Abilities

### Mental Abilities

Obe is incredibly calculative, for setting the entire foundation of Ogun Union and placing Tetsuma as "the puppet" of the organization in order to gain more power over the years while creating a second plan to overthrow him meticulously and carefully without being noticed or exposed is a feat no one within the Ogun Union can replicate. Obe also has a great sense of doubt and whenever something does not go according to his plan, he will do anything to eradicate the problem but in a different approach: an example being B.J. disrupting his plan by stealing his cocaine cargos and would rather try to bargain with B.J. rather than using violent force to take it back.

### Physical Abilities

Obe is assumed to be strong since he is the No. 2 of Ogun Union, though there is little that proves the claims he is physically strong.

* High Pain Tolerance: Obe managed to take some of Tetsuma's wildest hits, having a bottle smashed on his head and struck several times by Tetsuma himself. Yet Obe kept remaining his known stoic face the entire time and shrugged off the pain, kept trying to convince Tetsuma to join him. After getting stabbed by Yasude Eiji and repeatedly getting punched in the face by Tetsuma, Obe has not shown the slight anguish of pain he experienced and remained conscious the entire time.
	+ Pain Suppression: Obe can feel pain, although it is possible for him to suppress the pain but it is unknown how he manages to shrug off the suffering he endures. During the Athletic Park War, Obe sniffed cocaine and it's plausible for the drug to have temporary nullified the pain Obe receives.

## Relationships

* B.J.: B.J. stole Obe's cocaine and asked for a bargain. Bernardo also made a temporary alliance with Obe and gave information about Ichiri will defeat Tetsuma, which could cause a massive uproar within the organization and could lead to Tetsuma's downfall, which Obe found it very interesting. But Bernardo betrayed the alliance after slaughtering Kenyuu.
* Ogun Tetsuma: Obe initially trusted Tetsuma, knowing the latter's charisma could attract many followers and make the organization stronger over time. But all Obe wanted from Tetsuma was to see him go into a rampage and kill everyone, however Tetsuma let himself go and repressed that side of him, much to Obe's dismay. Obe believed it was the time Tetsuma stepped down and get replaced by a new leader. Despite this, both seems to hold some level of respect toward each others.
* Yasude Eiji: Years prior, Obe and the consultant Yasude Eiji have both agreed the Ogun Union has hit a dead end, which is caused by Tetsuma ceasing his wild violence and unpredictable brutality. They both planned to overthrow Tetsuma and have kept growing their private "army" for several years. During the climax of the Athletic Park War, Eiji witnessed his plan crumbling as Tetsuma kept destroying Team Obe's men; he decided to betray Obe by stabbing the later and ran away.
