Michi Ru Mazuyo

**Michi Ru Mazuyo** is a character that appears in the book "Tales from the Omniverse" from the Bodyak's Chronicles series. He is presented as a minor antagonist (by which, however, all Nuggets are represented), but, unlike ordinary henchmen of the organisation, he is a fully fleshed-out character, having a background, real name, top position, distinctive personality and his own goals.

## Occupation

Michi Mazuyo, although he is a member of the Nuggets Criminal Organisation, is not an active gangster, instead serving more as a manager in various fields for the organisation itself. Mazuyo is a member of the control executive team aboard the Ghetto Blasta spacecraft, and is moreso one of the elite special agents. Michi most often interrogates guilty members of the organisation and/or people who were kidnapped by Nuggets (for significant reasons, of course).

## Personality

According to the author's description, Mazuyo appears as being of medium-to-tall height, having short wispy gold hair, thin distinct cheekbones, bright grey ("dead") eyes and overall dry skin.

Michi Ru Mazuyo is depicted as a mostly calm, polite, reasonable person, having a habit of stretching words and phrases to make a certain impression on the interlocutor (which is important during interrogations). He is close friends with two of his partners - brothers Areta Izamu and Norayo Ozemu.

Michi explains this difference between the personality traits of the organisation's special agents and simple "thugs" like this: *"When a Nugget acquires the necessary level of 'elite' experience, his mind is filled with the desire not to slash, bludgeon and mug people, but to work to promote the organisation's power and increase our area of influence in this Omniverse."*

Like all elite agents, Mazuyo wears a matte traditional wafuku with a haori jacket on top, but, unlike standard elite clothing (black /dark blue colors with a matte surface), Michi Ru Mazuyo's clothes are bright red with, made of glossy material, decorated with all kinds of Japanese patterns around the pieces' edges. Perhaps this is done because Michi holds a higher position than the rest of the elite agents. His glasses are also different from others - the elite wear dark sunglasses with a pointed shape, while Mazuyo's have a more regular rectangular shape and cast a dark red color, rather than grey or black.

## Involvement

Michi Ru Mazuyo first appears in a scene that takes place shortly after an organised Nuggets' raid on the Shaolin Dojo. Having been defeated in a battle with Yongsheng wei Jianyu, Feng heng Xiangjiang and Changming zian Zihao, the Zhu gang waited out an opportune moment to ambush Changming shortly after the battle. Changming was detained by the Zhu gang and placed in a capsule that was sent to the Ghetto Blasta ship.

There Changming zian Zihao met Michi Ru Mazuyo, where the latter began his interrogation, having previously ordered Areta Izamu to inject Changming with a "truth serum" (which eventually does not work). The purpose of the interrogation was to extract information about the present location of Satoshi Naiku in the Omniverse, since "according to recent observations" Naiku may be a purebred descendant of the One, and the elite Nuggets were tasked with preventing the chaos that Satoshi Naiku could cause with his newfound powers. Unfortunately for the Nuggets, it was all in vain, since the Naikopocalypse still happened.

## Trivia

* The name Michi Ru Mazuyo translates from Japanese as *the way of the dragon enlarging the world*;

* It is known that Mazuyo despises the Chinese, especially monks;

* By nature, with frequent monologues on philosophical topics, Michi Ru Mazuyo strongly resembles a character that of Agent Smith from The Matrix series.
