Onuma Den

**Onuma Den** (大沼 伝) is a Cobra Therianhtrope and a former member of Sumitomo Zaibatsu. He used to be one of Shinna Ryuji's gang members until his defection

## Appearance

He has a small build, black hair and while in his hybrid form, his lower half is replaced with a cobra's, his tongue becomes snake-like and turns purple, his teeth are replaced with fangs and his eyes glow green. In his full hybrid form he becomes a human sized cobra, his top half becomes that of a snake. Now sporting a flap like 'hood' that are trademarks of the cobra as well as poisonous fangs. In this form his bulk and length make him bigger than most of his opponents.

After the 2 years timeskip, his appearance hasn't changed much other than now he wears an eye-patch over his right eye.

## Personality

He is a sadistic lecherous, misogynistic and depraved rapist who prefers to have sex than actually fight. The cobra part of his body either helps with him weakening foes or makes it more enjoyable for him. He has raped one unnamed women and attempted to rape or threatened to rape Inaba Ui,
Nakanishi Eruza and Uzaki Hitomi consecutively. He does respect the hierarchy of his group, however. He fears Kaede and does his best not to incur her wrath. He may well look up to Shinna Ryuji he refers to him as Brother Ryuji or 'bro' for short and seems to listen to him.

However in the manga, after his defeat against Hitomi in Destroyale his personality takes a turn for the better. He left his gang went back to school and currently is now working for the Ishida Zaibatsu as an Internal Inspector of the Association. He holds no hard feelings towards Hitomi despite losing an eye to her, and is actually grateful for the change his defeat caused.
