Elder Toguro

Elder Toguro

Elder Toguro (in Japanese: 戸愚呂兄, Toguro-ani) is a human turned demon shapeshifter.

He usually rides on his brother's shoulder, and often fights alongside him. Unlike his younger brother, Elder Toguro has no honor and is utterly sadistic.

He was voiced by Katsumi Suzuki in the Japanese dub of the anime, and by Bill Townsley in the English FUNimation dub.

Biography

Elder Toguro can alter the shape of his body to form weapons or to move his organs to escape harm, and also has powerful regenerative abilities, almost to the point of immortality.

After being nearly destroyed by his brother, Elder Toguro is trapped in a regenerative state on the island where the Dark Tournament took place.

There he is found by Sensui and devoured by Sensui's cohort Gourmet. This proves costly for Gourmet as Toguro easily takes control of his body.

Ultimately, his healing factor proves to be his undoing. After Elder Toguro takes control of Gourmet's body, Kurama uses the Sinning Tree technique on him. Ordinarily, the Sinning Tree saps its victim of their energy until they are dead while showing them an image of their worst nightmare, keeping them in a constant state of intense physical and psychological pain. However, since Elder Toguro's healing factor is involuntary, the Sinning Tree is unable to kill him. He is forced to spend the rest of eternity in constant pain and experiencing his worst nightmare.
