Jukai

Jukai is a skilled prosthetic physician whose hands have both inflicted pain and mended broken lives. When Hyakkimaru was left barely alive after being stripped of his limbs and senses by a demon, Jukai rescued him from the brink of death, fashioning artificial limbs that restored his ability to survive and fight. Yet Jukai's past is shadowed by a darker chapter — he once served as a torturer, causing immense suffering to those in his care. Driven by profound remorse, he dedicated his life to healing the wounded as a form of penance. He became Hyakkimaru's adoptive father, granting him both a name and the will to live. Throughout the story, Jukai stands as the moral and emotional anchor of Hyakkimaru's journey, embodying the redemptive power of love and sacrifice.
