Wang is the main antagonist of the manga and the anime of the same name, Darwin's Game. One of the players of the tournament known as Darwin's Game, Wang is the leader of the clan that dominated Shibuya, Eighth, notorious for their savagery and brutality just like their master. Believing himself to be a protagonist of the Darwin's Game, Wang has no hesitation to brutally murders or brutalizing other people just to get what he wants. Due to his brutality and sadism, he makes his mark as the protagonist, Kaname Sudou's, personal foe.
He is voiced by Yoshitsugu Matsuoka in the Japanese version who voiced Emile from Dragalia Lost and Petelgeuse Romanee-Conti from Re;Zero and in the English version, he is voiced by Mike McFarland, best known as the voice of Buggy the Clown from One Piece.
Appearance
Wang appears as man with a fair build and a rather ghastly look on his face which reflects his true personality with his smug grin and his slanted eyes. He has a black hair tied in dreadlocks, wearing a black vest with a number 8 on his back and a grey shirt tucked in on the sleeves and a dark green pants which is also the uniform that were used by his clan mates. In addition, to prove himself he is the leader of the gang, he also has several red stripped tattoos on his arm.
Personality
Wang can be described as a savage and sadistic animal who relishes on committing violence and viewing people as nothing but a mere toy for him to play. This was evidenced when Wang and his gang usually tortures his victims in a slow and painful manner before finishing them off. His favorite modus operandi however, was to cut the fingers of his victims while using them as his favorite drink for him and his own subordinates.
In addition, Wang can be described as a delusional person, claiming that he was the hero of the Darwin's Game as according to him, his kanji name means "King" and can do whatever he wanted with his own position and doing whatever it takes to win the fight. Another evidence of his delusional behavior is when he claims that Eight is a clan that protect Shibuya despite at the end, they were nothing but a thrill killers obsessed with brutalizing people out of the way. When the going gets though, Wang is shown to be a coward, pathetically begging for his life to be spared and claiming that the Darwin's Game is bugged.
In spite of his negative traits, Wang does have several positive traits on his sleeve such as his cordial relationship with his gang. It is shown that his gang members respected Wang not out of fear, but his charismatic behavior to the point one of the gang members shown Wang as a huge enlightenment to kill more people. Other moments that he shown his charismatic behavior is when he gave one of his subordinates to drink his own personal favorite drink to become more powerful, the moment where he warned his gang members to keep their pants on and not get overtl optimistic or at one moment where he becomes angry towards his subordinates due to his incompetence but return to his cordial behavior again after sharing their mutual hatred with the cops.
However, some may argue that his positive trait fell apart because Wang has no hesitation to use his subordinates as a disposable fodder to attack the Shibuya Tower because they didn't participate in the Treasure Hunt event while he and the rest of his subordinate who participate in the game tried to solve the puzzle of the Treasure Hunt event and how he prioritizes his view about the heroes being nothing but his playthings after they massacred his gang members. Other positive traits that he shown is that despite his cowardice, he seemingly accepts his defeat despite being defiant to the very end.
Biography
Wang and his gang were introduced in the story as he and his gang brutally massacred the people who are the members Yakuza gang that ruled Shibuya, Akita-Kai, while torturing the remaining survivor by slicing his fingers off and using it as a drink for himself and his own gang. It is heavil implied that he is also responsible for the massacre in Shibuya as he and his gang attempts to took care of the lose ends.
During the Shibuya Treasure Hunt event, Wang was fighting against a mysterious girl with pyrokinetic powers at the top of a skyscraper building. Seemingly defeated at first, Wang manages to overpower her and throws her into the ground which led her into an imminent death. After the fight, it was soon revealed that he already collect 32 rings during the event and seemingly crack the code of the rings. During Kaname's fight against another Darwin's Game participant, Ryuji Maesaka, it was soon revealed that Ryuji hold a grudge against Wang because he murdered Ryuji's brother.
Seeing that some of his gang members didn't participate on the treasure hunt events, Wang decides to use them as a reinforcements so that he could attack the Shibuya Tower in order to retrieve the remaining ring while Wang and the rest of the gang decides to go to the Shibuya Station after managing to solve the ring puzzle.
During his hunts in the Shibuya Station alongside his gang, he and his gang managed to found the Information Broker of Darwin's Game, Rein Kashiwagi, who attempts to run away to save herself. However, Wang manages to capture her with his tenacious powers and starts to interrogate her in order to find the treasure. When Rein answered the interrogation by saying that she didn't know anything, Wang then twists her arm and threatens to cut her fingers one by one and then goes straight to her ears and her tongue.
Fortunately, Kaname and his companions manages to step in and saved Rein from trouble. During the fight against the heroes, Wang forces them to extract the information about the treasure and when Ryuji, who is now one of Kaname's companions, tries to run away from Wang, the latter then manages to capture Ryuji and attempts to torture him to death and turn his fingers into a liquor just like the Yakuza survivor he had brutally murdered.
