## Personality

Benjiro, considered by Raioku Yeir , Is one of the smartest of the Saotome children besides Rinku Saotome , he is very practical, and doesn’t waste time getting things done. He is, like his siblings very smart and observant. He is also really prideful like his brother. He never told Raioku how to make a robot, or robot limbs that actually work. Benjiro is very to the point, he hides it, but he has a big heart, and he noticeably has a very serious attitude like his father. But he is described by Kiyri as very charming and kind, Although because he is the middle child he has a hard time getting attention he deserves, this causes him to be more aloof and away from everyone else. Benjiro is quick to anger because he has a war inside of himself where he believes he’s not enough, he is always striving to be better than his older brother Rinku and feels accomplished when he finds out he is decently taller than him at the end of the book. Regardless of his anger issues Benjiro is afraid to face himself and to tell himself he is good enough. He is a very caring boy, this is proven when he made robot legs for Kiyri and saved her from the rouge robots  X and V. Benjiro is noticeably very respectful to girls especially Kiyri. He has a slightly inappropriate sense of humor, and makes inappropriate suggestions, observations and jokes . and his humor tends to get dark like Kenta Asoki. He is noticeably always using large vocabulary words when he speaks.

Benjiro has always had a hard time with his sensory skills, this is why when Raioku Electrocuted him it hurt more because his sensory was stronger than that of a normal human or Angel. It was extra hard for Benjiro to do normal things like ride a bike or tie his shoes when he was younger because of how sensitive he was. Although after he got tested on he became immune and can’t feel anything but a tiny pinch.
