Enzukai-no-Hakai, better known simply as Enzukai, and later on as Enzukai-Ryu, is one of the four main antagonists of the 2021 Roblox story horror game The Mimic, serving as a minor character in The Witch Trials gamemode and the main antagonist of Jealousy's Book.
He is the Beast of Jealousy and one of the four creations of Hakaisha who wanted to have puppets/tools. In 1621, he, alongside his siblings Kintoru, Netamo, and Yuma, became one of the The Mimics that rampaged across Japan before being sealed away by Kusonoki Masashige and Ashikaga Takauji under the sea near Aogashima Island.
Since then, he has been waiting patiently to escape, while at the same time manipulating both people and Yōkai into joining his religious movement known as the Kiiroibara Cult, and becoming his worshippers.
Following him escaping his seal, he launches a massive attack on Tokyo alongside his cult, attempting to recreate another Calamity Event, and eventually take over Japan and kill off every human until only Yōkai are left standing, with himself ruling over what's left of Japan as a god.
He is the archenemy of both Ashikaga and Isamu Uchiumi; the latter for murdering him, as well as brainwashing his brother Senzai into worshipping him and essentially turning him against his family.
Appearance[]
Enzukai is a tall and lanky figure with crimson red skin, three yellow eyes and long yellow horns. He wears a tattered long skirt with a black beady necklace and no shirt, he has broad shoulders with a small stomach. His hair is black and long, and he also has multiple teeth coming from each side of his mouth. As the game progresses, Enzukai's appearance starts to change; his teeth and hair grow longer, his eyes start to glow red, his back and shoulders become covered in black spikes, and his arm sprouts out multiple protrusions.
In Enzukai's second form, his entire body changes to only black and white. He has three long tails, a visible rib cage, two white masks (one on the face and half of a mask on each side), white markings throughout his abdomen, forearms, and thighs, large blade-like protrusions on both his shoulders, tall black horns, and large white messy hair.
In Enzukai's third and final form, he turns into a large white dragon with black horns and claws, three eyes, two long whiskers, a cloud-like pattern lining his entire body, and has multiple clusters of eyes dotted around parts of his body. During the final fight, Enzukai reveals a grotesque humanoid form sprouting out of his dragon form's mouth. This humanoid form possesses red markings across his face and body, a large red eye in his abdomen, his hands and wrists being black, two large horns with white grooves, and white glowing eyes as well as possessing an extra set of thin arms behind his back.
Personality[]
Like his fellow Beasts and siblings, Kintoru, Netamo and Yuma, Enzukai is a sadistic, manipulative, misanthropic, ruthless and deeply malevolent being who revels in wreaking havoc upon humankind for his and his creator Hakaisha's sadistic entertainment. Additional traits Enzukai exhibits are insane jealousy, arrogance and pride, and consequently need to always be on the top. Best and most obvious proof of his narcissism is creating the Kiiroibara Cult that worship him like a deity with unwavering and fanatical loyalty, despite his lack of any real, genuine care for any of them. Enzukai is clearly boastful, enjoys showing off his immense power and sees himself as above everybody, especially humans, other youkai (including his own worshippers), quite possibly the other three Beasts and maybe even his creator Hakaisha.
Due to being the Beast of Jealousy, Enzukai hates being second best and/or losing his position, thus feeling he is owed worship by those beneath him and wants absolute power for the big part just to satisfy his huge ego. This leads him to try to neutralize any threat there is to his power, Isamu Uchiumi, in particular.
Enzukai's sadism is quite different from Kintoru's sadism; while Kintoru enjoys toying with her victims and making them suffer as much as possible before turning them into puppets, Enzukai seems to prefer immediate yet more brutal violence, best shown when he ripped Isamu Uchiumi's heart out the second he saw him simply for being a human who tresspassed into his lair. While Kintoru spent centuries manipulating and brainwashing members of the Masashige family as revenge towards Kusunoki Masashige for sealing her and the other Beasts away, using strategy and opportunities to trick them, Enzukai and his cult invaded Tokyo without any prior thinking or planning, showing that Enzukai prefers getting what he wants by force rather than manipulation.
Despite this however, Enzukai is very much capable of skillfully manipulating people and taking advantage of any opportunity, presumably even on the same level as his sister Kintoru. This is best showcased by his relationship with the Uchiumi brothers, especially Senzai, who's memories he altered to make him believe Isamu betrayed him on purpose and took enjoyment in their father's abuse of him. This left him with insane hatred of his father Akihito Uchiumi and his brother. Speaking of Isamu, he emotionally manipulates him into believing that Senzai is completely gone, convincing him it's his fault and that he (Enzukai) was the only one ever there for him. These are all, obviously, lies, as Enzukai never genuinely cared for Senzai, nor any of his worshippers, and only used them as fanatical puppets who would do his bidding no matter what. This is shown in the Bad Ending of Jealousy's Book: Chapter IV when Isamu kills Senzai, Enzukai takes the opportunity to regain his strength and conquer Tokyo after the former dies, without feeling any regret or sadness about the former's death, or the deaths of Rin and Mio Tsushima, Tsukiya, Kutsu and Kyogi prior.
Judging by Senzai's taunts about a new world rulled by Yōkai, it seems that Enzukai's goals have shifted from bringing chaos upon humanity to complete takeover of the world and establishing a "youkai-supremacy", with him on the top, which again shows Enzukai's misanthropic nature and desire to rule over those he views as beneath him, especially humans.
Enzukai's arguably biggest flaws were his arrogance and ruthlessness; he underestimated Isamu Uchiumi in spite of the later constantly getting away and eventually managing to kill a few Kiiroibara Cult members, and transforming in his Enzukai-Ryū form as a final resort, using every bit of power he has to destroy his archenemy. All of this proves to be futile, however, as Isamu ends up shooting him with a supercharged arrow, killing him as a result. Hakaisha emerges from the sky and claims Enzukai "pathetic" and "another failed creation, just like his sister" for being "defeated by mortals", before taking his body, presumably to Jigoku as punishement for failing to kill Isamu.
To sum it up, Enzukai was a sadistic, power-hungry and heartless narcissist who genuinly cared only for himself and was ready to hurt and kill anybody who stood in the way of his hegemonic goal, and didn't care for deaths and defeats even of those loyal to him, including his siblings, as he never thought about, let alone tried, freeing them from their seals. In spite of his immense power, Hakaisha's final comments about him after his death show he was never meant to be a god or even anything above a mere tool for Hakaisha's amusement.
Biography[]
Background[]
A long time ago, presumably around 979 BC, a bored eldritch God named Hakaisha wanted to have puppets/tools for an unknown reason. To do this, he severed some of his body parts and used them to create The Mimics; with Enzukai being made from one of Hakaisha's eyes, additionally he is the third Mimic to be created after his older siblings Kintoru and Netamo. After his younger sister Yuma was created, they resided in their homeworld for some time before going their separate ways and visit several realms, with at least one of them going to Earth and revisiting it for some time.
Then in 1621, Enzukai along with his siblings descended onto Earth and began ravaging the country of Japan for a period of ten days during an event known only as the "Calamity Event." During his time on Earth, Enzukai would form a religious organization known as the Kiiroibara Cult, with assistance from a man named Kyogi. During the ten days, they both continued amassing more followers and either killed humans or convert them into Yōkai. Their end goal was to destroy all humans across Japan and take over what's left of the country before establishing a new world where Yōkai reign supreme, with Enzukai at the top.
However, they would be confronted by the samurais Kusunoki Masashige and Ashikaga Takauji, and after a lengthy fight, both Enzukai and his cult would be sealed away under the ocean near Aogashima Island, left to be forgotten by future generations. Additionally, Kintoru would be sealed inside a Sakura Tree somewhere in the east, Netamo would be sealed in his strongest, seething with rage and counting his days, and Yuma would be forced deep within the Earth and left to watch the world in reverse. When Hakaisha realizes that Enzukai and his siblings were defeated by "mere mortals", he declared them useless and chose not to try and free them from their prisons.
Although Enzukai was sealed away, his cult continued to operate and continue recruiting more members into their ranks; working to try and free their god from his seal. Around the 1940s, Enzukai would hear the prayers of a young girl named Chihiro Amano, and seeing that she prayed for someone to be her mother, he used a black substance in order to create Kurayami and act as Chihiro's mother, before recruiting her into his cult. Some time after, Kyogi would present Enzukai a man named Senzai Uchiumi and after noticing his envy and hatred towards his brother Isamu, decides to recruit the latter and give him the rank of Worshipper. Though, he would secretly alter his memories to have him misremember both his father and brother as being worse than they actually were.
Jealousy's Book[]
Jealousy's Book: Chapter I[]
Initially, Enzukai was only alluded to in the form of two statues that resemble him; one in a room in The Sisters' Minka, and the one in the center of Yoki Town. Near the ending, he makes his official appearance after Isamu escapes the Broken Ship, where he is seen tied up by large chains, and stares at the player.
Jealousy's Book: Chapter II[]
Similar to Chapter I, Enzukai was only alluded to when Isamu finds a giant stone statue of him in the Foggy Cavern. He later has his first face-to-face meeting with Isamu after his brother Senzai kidnaps him and takes him to his lair. After making a speech, Enzukai appears from out of the water and telekinetically brings Isamu towards him, before ripping his heart out and crushing it. Isamu then wakes up in Jigoku, with a building in front of him, as well as a root with eyes connecting to the building. This chapter confirms that Enzukai is indeed the deity of the Kiiroibara Cult.
Jealousy's Book: Chapter III[]
After Isamu escapes Dodomeki and falls down the sky, he wakes up and tries to walk through a dark flooded hallway. However, before he can reach the exit, Enzukai jumpscares him and pulls Isamu underwater. Later when Isamu wakes up on a raft, several black mirages resembling Enzukai attempt to drag him underwater and drown him. Isamu has to continuously repel the mirages; and with each attempt, the mirages taunt and mock Isamu for abandoning Senzai, questioning whether Isamu still thinks Senzai is his brother, and that Enzukai was the only one who was there to support him. It's worth note however that those mirages weren't the real Enzukai; merely a copy manifested by Jigoku itself to show Isamu what "sin" he did to warrant being sent down to hell.
When Isamu is seeing through Senzai's memories, he noticed there were some inconsistencies with what he saw and what he actually remembered. One of them is Senzai begging to his father that he'll be more like Isamu before being dragged away; yet Isamu noted that Senzai had always been proclaimed to be better than him (at least before the art university letter incident). And another was that there was a statue of Enzukai outside their house, despite Senzai not knowing about his existence up until they became adults and left their father's house. This led Isamu to realize Enzukai had warped Senzai's memories and made him perceive Isamu and his abusive father Akihito as monsters with Isamu's personality being the most warped. This was done in order to brainwash Senzai into fully devoting himself to Enzukai.
Near the end of the chapter after Isamu manages to revive himself, the real Enzukai is seen floating in the sky surrounded by a blob of black goo before transforming into his second form. In the end credits card, Enzukai is seen floating in the background as members of the Kiiroibara Cult are seen standing together and destroying Tokyo.
Jealousy's Book: Chapter IV[]
During the intro cutscene, Enzukai can be spotted levitating in the air while launching laser beams into the surroundings, causing nearby buildings to explode. Later on, he initiates contact with Isamu by confronting him and the spirit of Ashikaga Takauji within an illusory mental space. During this confrontation, Enzukai snaps Ashikaga's neck and steals the Shiroi-Honō lantern before dismantling it, causing its fragments to scatter into the physical world. His followers would eventually come into possession of four of the five lantern fragments (the fifth was on the roof of Isamu's office building).
Following the lantern's destruction, Enzukai reappears and actively pursues a recently awaken Isamu through the real-world environment of a burning Tokyo. Isamu attempts to sneak through to his office building by hiding inside destroyed cars, though Enzukai would be alerted of his presence whenever the former steps on any broken glass shards. Eventually, Isamu is able to enter his office building.
Later, Enzukai continues launching lasers around Tokyo before landing in the ground to confront Isamu a second time when the latter has to save some survivors in order to empower Ashikaga's Blessed Bow. This time, Enzukai has Rin, Kyogi, and Tsukiya assist him in hunting down Isamu as well as any of the survivors he tries to rescue. At one point, Isamu tried shooting an arrow at Enzukai, but was able to catch it on time and throw it away before continuing his way. Once Isamu has saved enough survivors, Enzukai undergoes a transformation, assuming his third and final form known as its "Ryujin" or "Enzukai-Ryū" form before he starts roaring into the sky
Within this Ryujin form, Enzukai attempts to burn or consume Isamu in combat. He demonstrates offensive capabilities including flight, the projection of fiery projectiles, and the summoning of large, blue, eye-covered tentacle-like structures from the ground; the latter of which Isamu destroys in order to supercharge the Blessed Bow and be able to damage Enzukai. After sustaining significant damage from Isamu's attacks, Enzukai roars before withdrawing from the battle. Once Isamu kills and executes Rin & Mio, Kyogi, and Tsukiya, Enzukai begins to breathe out a large cloud of flammable gas before igniting it with his fire breath and destroying most of the Kawasaki Ward and reducing it into rubble before flying back into the sky. A section known as the Desolate Arena is cleared out.
Once Isamu enters the Arena, Enzukai descends from the sky and loudly roars before manifests its core, skeletal humanoid form from it's mouth. Enzukai engages Isamu in direct combat one last time, utilizing attacks such as energy beams, ground impacts, and the summoning of fiery meteors. Despite this, Enzukai is ultimately incapacitated, but before Isamu can deal out the final blow, Senzai appears in front and begs Isamu not to kill his god; instead requesting Isamu that he will kill him instead since it's "what father would've wanted". Ashikaga notes that the White Flame will only kill those the wielder truly wants to kill. With limited time left before his temporary deal with Shihyosha is over and his soul returns to the afterlife, Isamu has to make a choice: either Kill Enzukai or Kill Senzai.
In the bad ending, if Isamu chooses to kill Senzai, the temporary deal with Shihyosha ends and Isamu subsequently dies. It's presumed Enzukai manages to recover from his injuries and finish destroying Tokyo as seen later when his brother Netamo remarked that his brother had succeeded.
In the good (and canon) ending, Isamu chooses to kill Enzukai, supercharging the Blessed Bow before firing a large shot that was powerful enough to kill the dragon. After this defeat, the evil god Hakaisha manifests visually as a colossal eye. Hakaisha declares Enzukai a "failed creation" and "as weak as his sister" before slamming down on Enzukai and dragging away his remains from the area.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Pocket Dimension Creation: Befitting his nature as one of the four Mimics, Enzukai can create a pocket dimension separate from our world that can perfectly copy Earth's appearance. Though, they can also twist or alter it's appearance; with Enzukai's dimension having an underwater aesthetic and environment; as well as including environments from the Kiiroibara Cult's past, such as Rin's minka and the playground Chihiro was hanging around. It's shown to not follow the laws of physics; as shown when despite the dimension appearing to be underwater, Isamu is able to breathe with little issue. It's shown to be almost impossible to escape; the only reliable ways to be able to leave is if the Mimic who created the pocket dimension was either killed or they choose to let any trapped people inside leave. While a Mimic's pocket dimension can perfectly copy our world down to the most miniscule details, there are signs that can indicate whether or not you're trapped inside one; with the signs in Enzukai's pocket dimension being a sinister face appearing in the moon, and aquatic flora and fauna occupying the area.
- Transformation: This is a basic ability shared by all four Mimics, though unlike his sister Kintoru, Enzukai is limited to only three forms.
- Levitation/Flight: In all three of his forms, Enzukai is shown to be able to float in the air and move in any direction.
- Pyrokinesis: This is prevalent in his third form, when Enzukai turns into a massive dragon, as he can shoot out fiery meteors towards his targets, and breathe a toxic gas that he can ignite to create a large explosion.
- Radiokinesis: In both his second and third forms, Enzukai can summon a giant laser beam that can burn anything it touches.
- Telekinesis: As shown in the ending of Jealousy's Book: Chapter II, Enzukai can pull objects and people towards him without making physical contact with them.
- Memory Alteration: Enzukai can warp the memories of people, making them misremember or forget parts of their past life. His most notable target was Senzai whose memories he warped to make him turn against his brother Isamu.
- Telepathy: Another basic ability possessed by all four Mimics, Enzukai can speak to anyone in their mind, which becomes more prevalent to anyone trapped inside his pocket dimension. Additionally, Enzukai can manifest himself inside the mindscape of a person, as shown when he manifested himself inside Isamu's mind to steal the Shiroi Honō lantern.
- Heightened Senses: Enzukai is shown to have advanced hearing and perception, as seen when he hears Isamu step on broken glass several meters away, and the fact he can catch an arrow in mid-air when Isamu tries to shoot him with the Blessed Bow.
Weaknesses[]
- Shiroi-Honō: Despite his immortality and extreme resistance to normal weapons and gunfire, he is still capable of being harmed with the Shiroi-Honō or White Flame, which is shown to be capable of hurting any Yōkai that comes into contact with it, even the Four Mimics. Additionally, the White Flame can be shaped to form weapons that are capable of harming Yōkai, such as Ashikaga's bow.
- Shortsightedness: Enzukai seemed to be ignorant in trying to use any of his ranged attacks such as his laser or fireballs on Isamu whenever he's either out in the open streets of Tokyo, or is hiding inside a broken car. It's highly likely this is out of sadism as in the end of Jealousy's Book: Chapter II, Enzukai was easily able to telekinetically pull Isamu towards himself and kill him without hesitation or difficulty.

Trivia[]
- The Kanji for the name "Enzukai" (炎図界) means "World of Flames". This is prevalent in his second and third forms where Enzukai can launch fiery meteors and lasers that will burn his victims or enemies.
- His name was originally Hannya but was later renamed to Enzukai. Interestingly in Japanese folklore, the Hannya is a female demon created from feelings of jealousy,and is the Yōkai that Enzukai is derived from.
- As of now, Enzukai is the only character to have yellow eyes.
- In the official teaser, Enzukai was still sealed. However, in the official trailer, Enzukai had broken out of his seal, it's unknown how though. Currently, there is a popular theory that Enzukai used Isamu's heart to break apart his seal after ripping it out of his body.
- Enzukai's second form is directly based on Keizer Ghidorah, also known as Monster X, from Godzilla: Final Wars.
- During his cameo in the Witch Trials, Enzukai states that "she" fills him with jealousy, implying he is envious towards either Kintoru or Yuma.
- Before his redesign, Enzukai's face resembled a Hannya mask, which is used in Japanese Noh Theatres to represent a demon born of jealousy.
- Although Enzukai is the deity worshipped by the Kiiroibara Cult, he is not the actual founder or leader of the cult. He acts as the "deity" that is worshipped by the cult, with someone else having created the cult in his stead. A lore writer would confirm that the founder and sole leader is Kyogi.
- Enzukai has the most amount of designs out of all the characters in The Mimic, currently amounting to six (seven if one were to include his mirage, nine with his Nightmare Mode designs, and twelve with his old designs).
- As of now, Enzukai is the only one of the Mimics to have statues depicting him throughout the game. These statues of him can be seen in the Sisters' Minka and Yoki Town in Chapter I, and the Foggy Cavern in Chapter II, as well as a gold bust of him that acts as a save marker throughout Jealousy's Book: Chapters II, III, and IV.
- Enzukai was initially confirmed to be genderless, using any pronouns. However, following the release of Jealousy's Book: Chapter IV, MUCDICH announced that Enzukai's gender is now up to interpretation.
- Interestingly in the game, Enzukai is usually referred to with male pronouns by both Ashikaga and his brother Netamo.
- Enzukai's Nightmare mode design seems to resemble the Yōkai known as the Ashura, though without the six arms that the latter are most famous for. Interestingly, according to Japanese folklore, the Ashura are described as powerful demons that are primarily fueled by violence, have massive egos, and are wracked with feelings of envy; all of which perfectly fits Enzukai's character.
- So far, Enzukai is the only one of the Mimics to canonically succeed in killing the protagonist of their respective Book.
- Despite Enzukai being the second Mimic to appear in the game, he's actually the third one to be created by Hakaisha, as he was preceded by Kintoru and Netamo respectively.
