Naoya Ushio

On the surface, Naoya Ushio presents himself as a dedicated public security officer, but beneath that facade lies his true allegiance to the radical anti-oni group CCC. He harbors a deeply warped form of compassion toward oni tormented by bloodlust, believing that death is the only true liberation they can receive. The prominent scar marking his face is a self-inflicted wound from his school days—burned into his own skin with an iron as a means of confronting relentless bullying—a silent testament to the trauma that shaped him. Once his cover was blown, he unhesitatingly opened fire on Taira Sarana, laying bare the cold and uncompromising extremism at his core.
