That being said, he holds sincere affection and love towards Mie-however, the tragedy of their situation is that Fujiki's willingness to uphold his honor as a samurai perpetually ends up causing rifts between them both, and this ultimately drives Mie to suicide, when she realizes that despite everything that's happened between them, he is still a slave to his honor. Even Evil Has Loved Ones: The "evil" part is arguable-Fujiki's not actively malicious, but his loyalty to Kogan is such that he is willing to do the most monstrous things imaginable to ensure Kogan's honor remains intact.The Dog Bites Back: After the samurai boy also named Gennosuke beat him and forced him to eat dung, young Fujiki killed him by smashing his head against a wall and took his scalp as a trophy.He never breaks social convention like this as an adult, however.
Bully Hunter: As a child he murdered the samurai boy who cruelly bullied the village children.Berserk Button: Tends to be polite and is willing to take a lot of abuse as long as it's from his social superiors, but if someone insults his master Kogan or the Kogan school of swordsmanship then Fujiki will punish them with his sword.Bait the Dog: At the start, he looks noble and admirable, but it becomes clear over time that he can commit or be complicit in cruelty for the sake of obedience and bushido.Before the final duel, when his sandal-bearer asks "You're not afraid?", Fujiki says with a perfectly calm and determined face, "I want to cut him down, so I will do so.Upon defeating seven sword-wielding ronin with his bare hands, he states, "I do not need a weapon when facing stray dogs.".Afterwards he has to re-train himself to fight without it. An Arm and a Leg: Loses his arm in the revenge duel with Irako, and almost dies from it.Animal Motifs: A tiger and on occasions, a dragon.Fujiki is unwaveringly loyal to Kogan, and is said to be most likely to succeed him as the school's grandmaster. In the present time in his duel with Seigen he has only one arm but it is noted that his back muscles could theoretically make up for lost strength.
