Rippou

Rippou stands as one of the three supreme sovereigns governing the Hidden World, wielding unchallenged authority to create and enforce its laws. On the surface, he appears to be a pleasure-seeking drifter — endlessly absorbed in cigarettes, liquor, and gambling — earning frequent criticism for dodging his duties. Yet beneath that carefree facade lies a ruler of formidable gravitas, capable of commanding absolute respect when the moment demands it. A longtime acquaintance and superior of Abe Seisai, Rippou has taken a keen interest in Hanae's latent potential, quietly steering the protagonists from the shadows while subjecting them to relentless and unforgiving trials.
