Eiryou Ashihana

Eiryou Ashihana began his role in the story as a hired gun tasked with tracking down Saiga Katsu—a cold, calculating mercenary who measured everything in coin. His signature weapon is a string-controlled puppet known as 'Grin,' which he wields with unnerving precision. Though his outward demeanor is ruthless and transactional, prolonged contact with the main cast gradually reveals a deeply principled side beneath the surface. When autonomous puppets emerge as a critical threat, his expertise proves invaluable to the group, and he ultimately takes up arms to honor the bonds he once dismissed.
