Genichi Sojo is a major antagonist in the 2023 urban fantasy manga series Kagurabachi. Sojo was a ruthless arms dealer and the wielder of the Enchanted Blade "Cloud Gouger." He idolized the late Kunishige Rokuhira, the creator of the Enchanted Blades, and developed a personal rivalry with his son Chihiro Rokuhira. He collaborated with the Hishaku, a secretive group of villainous sorcerers, in an attempt to create weapons similar to the Enchanted Blades.
Personality[]
Sojo was a casual man but was very strict in a direct manner, having no sympathy for his subordinates, especially those who disappoint him. He often organized the torture of some of his informants for failing to capture Char. Going so far as to cruelly kill his recruited sorcerers when they fail. But he also strongly believed that humanity should remain committed to the life paths it chooses. Sojo was able to withstand his massive mental problems by enduring his past traumas that were forced upon him and has not shown any of his traumatic effects.
When Sojo first met Chihiro, a new aspect of him appeared. Because he saw another Enchanted Blade user like him, he was enthusiastic and almost crazy that he was going to fight Chihiro wielding Enten. This is due to his great admiration of Kunishige Rokuhira and the Enchanted Blades he created them for, and sees them as perfect for use in combat and killing. Despite his uncontrolled enthusiasm in battle, Sojo was still able to calmly analyze events and create new tactics based on the movements and skills of his opponents taking place around him.
Biography[]
Past[]
There is no information about Sojo's past except that as a child, he once stood in a flower field with bodies of unknown people lying over it. It is implied that this event was caused by him coming into contact with the Shinuchi, the strongest of the Enchanted Blades, as the same field of flowers appears when Kyora Sazanami unleashes the tip of the Shinuchi. It is also worth noting that Sojo and the unnamed wielder of the Shinuchi have similar appearances, but any connection between these two is completely unknown.
About 10 years later, Sojo became a blacklisted criminal in Kamunabi, marking him on the blacklist. Even though he was wanted on the blacklist, he was able to operate in the underworld, using his cunning and skills to escape from justice.
Shortly after, he met with Char Kyonagi's father and forced him to exterminate information about the Kyonagi clan, which he succeeded in doing. Sojo finds the house where the last members of the Kyonagi clan are, and when he arrived at their house, he kidnapped both Char and her mother. For many periods, Sojo continued to hold Char and her mother captive and frequently performed experiments on them to try to harness the powers of Datenseki by routinely removing their limbs and organs. Char's mother didn't want to let her daughter suffer such a fate so they finally decided to escape from Sojo prison, unfortunately the vent was too small for the mother so only Char could escape and her mother had to burn down the entire Sojo facility to cover her tracks and save Char at the same time die.
After Char escaped from his facility, Sojo decided to recruit his own and the dangerous Sorcerers to hunt Char and bring her back to him. Some time later, Sojo received an enchanted blade called Cloud Gouger from the Hishaku organization, serving as his weapon.
Vs. Sojo Arc[]

Equipment[]
- Cloud Gouger: "Cloud Gouger" was one of only seven Enchanted Blades crafted by Kunishige Rokuhira in the period during and following the Seitei War. Cloud Gouger, like the other Enchanted Blades, was forged out of datenseki, a type of rare ore that multiplied any spirit energy poured into it. Datenseki was exceptionally volatile, and as a result Rokuhira was the only person who managed to stabilize and use it to forge Enchanted Blades. The spirit energy stored within an Enchanted Blade flowed into its user, enhancing their own spirit energy. Additionally, each Enchanted Blade possessed a set of unique abilities that its wielder could make use of. Cloud Gouger's special abilities were related to the generation of weather-related phenomena, and upon being drawn, the sword's power manifested visually as a pair of eastern-style dragons formed out of clouds.
- Ice Generation: The first of Cloud Gouger's three principle abilities was "Yui," which allowed its user to swiftly generate large amounts of ice in the direction of the sword's point. Cloud Gouger's ice was strong enough to completely immobilize a target in place. An extension technique of Yui which Sojo made use of was "Ketsu," which consisted of using Cloud Gouger to generate large chains of spiked ice around the user to shield from harm and pierce any nearby opponents.
- Lightning Generation: The second of Cloud Gouger's three principle abilities was "Mei," which allowed its user to summon and project powerful bolts of lightning. Mei's lightning was the most dangerous offensive ability of Cloud Gouger, as it was able to incinerate whatever was struck by it. Additionally, by building up the lightning before firing it off, the user of Cloud Gouger could exponentially increase its destructive output and range. Firing a charged lightning bolt placed stress on Cloud Gouger, and as such Mei could not be used for roughly ten to twenty seconds after being discharged at full power. Genichi Sojo, as a result of his latent skill with Cloud Gouger, was able to develop an extension technique of Mei wherein he cloaked the lightning summoned via Mei around his own body in order to drastically increase his own movement speed. Additionally, the cooldown period of the fully charged Mei reduced the more Sojo acclimated to the blade.
- Water Generation: The third and last of Cloud Gouger's three principle abilities was Kou it allows the user to create an enormous amount of water which can form clouds of mist to disorient enemies and obscure the wielder or be used to conduct the electricity generated by Mei, massively increasing its area of effect. Similarly, it can also be used in conjunction with Yui to generate more ice.
