| ~ Hanma's catchphrase. |
Shuji Hanma is one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside Haruchiyo Sanzu) of the 2017 Japanese manga series Tokyo Revengers and its 2021 anime adaptation.
He is a former member of the Tokyo Manji Gang and is Tetta Kisaki's right-hand man whose been aiding and assisting him throughout his plans. His main purpose in life is to find excitement and thrills to his enjoyment, which is the reason he commits violence throughout the streets to find and fight other gangsters for his sadistic amusement. He also serves as the second archenemy of Manjiro "Mikey" Sano and Ken "Draken" Ryuguji, coming after Kisaki since he killed Emma.
He is voiced by Takuya Eguchi in the Japanese dub and Zeno Robinson in the English dub.
Personality[]
Hanma is described to be a rather sadistic, violent, and cruel individual whose only purpose in his life is to find thrill and excitement to entertain his amusement as long as it interests him. Being once a junkie whose adrenaline is taken out by street violence and gang fights he's encountered, he's willing to harm others as a means to relieve his boredom. In terms of his, he was willing to kill all members of Moebius brutally if ever so failing him or running away in fear.
He doesn't seem to be that much concerned about the consequences or damage caused by his actions, especially having little care in regards to if it meant costing him his own life in the process, not having much value to it. As long as his actions of causing violence and harm continue to amuse him more, he's fine with anything going his way.
Despite being seen as an incredible sadist, he has some admiration and care for Kisaki, although he was a pawn to him. As stated by Shuji himself, whenever he's around him, he begins to see life as colorful and like a circus from his point of view. Even though he goes along with his schemes and assists him in any way possible, he is willing to save his skin once Mikey was about to end his life on his motorcycle. Apart from being loyal, he was willing to tell him why he follows him after his death, which was after seeing him dead he mourned and fulfilled his promise when visiting him at the graveyard, showing a bit of honor in doing so.
In return of his loyalty to Kisaki, Hanma began to develop somewhat of a value to those he worked alongside with and called out Mikey when he attacked one of his own men without a second thought. Though despite hypocritically working with those he and Kisaki backstabbed in the past, it is likely that Hanma began to mellow a bit ever since Kisaki died.
Regardless, he still took pleasure in all the violence and chaos he caused and partake in, especially for taking an active role in Kisaki's schemes, enjoying and gloating about the chaos surrounding his view, much to his enthusiasm. Apart from that, he is rather brutal in battle, due to the maximum of his strength and speed, which makes him more dangerous to the same scale as Draken or Mikey.
Overall, Hanma is a completely psychopathic individual whose longing for excitement to fulfill the empty hole in his desires for madness and chaos he is willing to spread to rid away with his intense boredom, if it meant getting someone hurt or killed, it's never his problem.
Appearance[]
One of the signature tattoos on Hanma's right hand, in which this translates "Sin".
At his teens, Hanma has a rather tall height, black hair with a bit of a dyed blonde streak between the middle of it, and even has shaved some sides of his hair additionally. He also wears a long golden earring on his left ear and has tattoos of "Sin" and "Punishment" on both his left and right hands respectively. When he first appeared, he was first seen wearing an oversized white Henley shirt with a few buttons, black cropped skinny jeans, and some dark brown sandals.
As an adult, Hanma still has his signature hairstyle, color, and the golden earring except it's tousled and more swayed. He also wore a white colored striped business attire, a vest, a tie and a pair of glasses.
Abilities[]
Hanma is considered to be one of the most brutal and stronger fighters in the series, whose strength and speed match the very strength in scale comparisons to Mikey and Draken. He was incredibly feared for such gifted power at his side that he would end up being incomparable to others except Mikey and Draken at best, especially how monstrous he can be in fighting through physical and brutal combat.
- Physical strength, defense, and prowess: His most greatest skill at his power. Hanma was born with incredible and intense strength that seemed almost impossible to achieve and is highly competent in every last of his fighting movements, not to mention his fighting is beyond brutal to the point it could outmatch Mikey at some way. In addition, he has great endurance and can take almost any hit thrown at him as he gets back up, thus was called a "zombie" by Draken for that, even had greater tactic to blocking Mikey's signature kick as that result. However, he can lose easily if he ends up being embracing his carelessness, which was and his only weakness to that.
- Intense agility and reflexes: His strength wasn't his only source to his own capabilities, his speed is also the same level as his strength but through the acceleration to how fast he could do in a fight. In his own movements, he can manage himself to defend through his instincts and tactics when facing his opponents, given he can predict what their next move is, such as when he blocked Mikey's kick. Another thing to know is that he has great flexibility in combat, managing to move one step at a time, which explains before he manages to beat a whole group of gangsters when he was only by himself.
- Authority (through Moebius and Valhalla): He has complete control over both groups, in most positions where he has been a top executive at best.
