Kazuki (V.2) JUS

Kazuki Muto is the protagonist of the manga Buso Renkin created by Nobuhiro Watsuki. Kazuki Muto was once an ordinary high school student. One night, he witnessed a girl being attacked by a giant, snake-like monster. To save the girl’s life, Kazuki jumped in front of the snake’s attack, getting pierced through the heart and killing him instantly. It turned out that the snake was a creature called a Homunculus, and the girl was really Tokiko Tsumura, an Alchemist Warrior who hunts and kills Homunculi. After fending off the Homunculus, Tokiko brought out a device called a Kakugane and inserted it into Kazuki’s chest, the device acting as a replacement heart and bringing him back to life. The next day, one of Kazuki’s teachers caught him alone and revealed himself as the Homunculus who killed him, and planned to kill Kazuki to keep his secret. While Kazuki tried to escape the Homunculus, Tokiko called him and revealed to him what Homunculi are, and what exactly happened the previous night. After being eaten alive by the Homunculus, Kazuki ended up awakening his Buso Renkin, using it to burst out of the creature’s stomach and kill it. From that day on, Kazuki promised to help Tokiko rid the world of Homunculi so that no one else would get hurt by them.
