Sakuma

**Sakuma** (佐 久 間, *Sakuma*) is a collector and a thief who works in Elena Aoki's group.

## Appearance

Sakuma is a slim young male with long pinkish/reddish hair. He has a more slender physique than the rest of the group. Sakuma is first seen wearing a latex type material shirt and pants.

In Sakuma's monster form his appearance changes slightly, he gains a lizard tail. What changes are in the back of him. When Sakuma transforms he gets several arms that have strings attached to them. The arms also have wheels that the string is attached too. The arms look similar to something of a spider.

## Personality

Sakuma is a calm young man at first, but he does have some other traits that distinguish him. When Elena Aoki ends the phone call with Chihiro Yoshioka and Elena tells the group that its not their business, he feels personally attacked. Its as if he was high strung for a period of time. Sakuma isn't shown much at first but what is shown is that he can be one of the quietest people out of the group but has moments where he can be serious.

## Plot

Shuichi Kagaya, Clair Aoki, and Tadanori Sanbe finish their fight with two of Kaito's strongest puppets that he resurrected after he killed them. As they finish the fight, Naoto walks into the Alien Spaceship crashing. This is where Kaito stays and fights anyone who comes near the crater. Once Naoto walks into the crater, Kaito and Naoto talk about how it has been awhile since they've seen each other and how Kaito's selfish ability to resurrect the dead has taken control of him. To Kaito, it seems how he was trapped in his own common sense and how he fails to see the true reality of things. To Kaito, death doesn't exist. Naoto's reason to fight Kaito was to destroy Honoka. Honoka was once Kaito and Naoto's friend, but Kaito killed her. Kaito then deems Naoto a true sinner and sends his resurrected puppets at Naoto as they crush him. Naoto then transforms into his monster form, which is similar to Shuichi's.
As they fight, Honoka eventually walks up behind Naoto. Honoka tells him that she doesn't remember anything about who she is, the previous person being deleted is how she puts it. After that, he doesn't know what's happening and Kaito's puppets trap him. They are hurting his monster form and he can barely take any more damage. Just as he says that, a bunch of claws attach to the back of Naoto's body. The wheels of the arms pull back and Naoto's body is quickly swept away by Sakuma's claw strings. Kaito then realizes that Naoto has allies. Sakuma pulls Naoto all the way back to him and then asks if he is still alive from the impact. Sakuma explains how his form is meant to steal cars or safes and not Naoto's monster form. Sakuma also mentions how he is a thief.
