Kurogane Jinsuke is the father of Gama and the former teacher of Sengoku Iori and teacher of Ranmaru. He and three other members of the Ogame School killed all the other members except for Turtle Sensei, Zenmaru, Gama, Shin, and Iori. He later created the Muhou School.

Appearance[]

Young Jinsuke

Younger Jinsuke

Jinsuke is an adult with long light colored hair that extends past his shoulders. He wears a white overshirt, over a black undershirt, white pants, white socks, sandals, and carries two sword on his waist. He also wears a black high collar jacket that he wears on his shoulders.

When he was younger, his hair was shorter and spikier. He wore a sleevless jacket with black shoulder.

Oddly, early flashbacks showed Jinsuke with completely different traits, including black spiky hair, sharp nose and a wide grin of sharp teeth.

Personality[]

Jinsuke has a very calm yet confident personality.

When discussing the ogame school with the advisors of the Muhou school he confidently states that the Ogame school will arrive in Jouka and states they are strong because they seriously intend to defeat him. While everyone else was surprised at their strength was discussing what to do to stop them from reaching Jouka.

He also has a somewhat twisted personality. He states that his orders for the Muhou school to thoroughly crush the Ogame school with all their might is his way of showing his love for them. In addition, he seemed to enjoy the idea of his son Gama and his student Ranmaru battling.

He also seemed happy and proud that Gama managed to defeat the 47th corps and the power of the drug Jugan.

History[]

Before the start of the series, he met Rintarou who had shown up on the shore from Holland.

Later, Jinsuke saved a nine year old Iori from bandits. After seeing Iori's potential, Jinsuke took him in and trained him as a swordsman at the Ogame school.

After mastering the secrets of the Ogame School, he went to Unabara and wandered there for a whole year, killing more than a thousands martial artists, including three of the Divine Spears and Hanamura Keijirou. Likely during this period he met a young Ranmaru Itou, and realizing the true nature of his eyes, he took him under his wing.

He got into an argument on who should be the leader of the Ogame school with fellow student Tessai. Later, he along with three other members, Kujou Mario, Ichinose Kai and Murasame Riko, slaughtered the Ogame school leaving only a few alive. Iori attempted to stop him before the massacre began but failed. As he left, he told Gama to become a strong swordsman and in a few years they would meet again. Jinsuke also warned that if Gama did not join him, he would kill Gama even if Gama was his own son.

He later went on to start the Muhou school, gathering powerful warriors from all the country.

As he falls on his knees in front of Gama, succumbing to his wounds and illness, he tells Gama that he regrets nothing of his life as a swordsman, and encourage him to cut him down. However, much to his surprise, Gama spares him and denies his sword, leaving him to die. Later he's given a proper burial in a secret location by Tsuchiryuu and Jinkuu.

Abilities[]

Jinsuke is probably the strongest swordsman or even warrior in the entire series: he mastered the Ogame School and all its forms (though he's never seen using their techniques, possibly out of spite). His stance leaves no weak spot, and his movements are incredibly fast and nearly impossible to perceive. He can fight even multiple powerful opponents at the same time. The peak of his power is seen in the final battle against Iori, where even injured and ill still manage to deliver an every-changing, powerful attack to Iori. Furthermore, he's the only characters of the series who was undefeated in battle.

Skills[]

  • Multiple Slash: Like many other strong swordsmen, Jinsuke can unleash several strikes in a row at great speed. He can do up to four of them in a split second.
  • Eyes of Divine Sight (天覚ノ眼 Tengaku no Me): Jinsuke possesses incredibly perceptive eyes, allowing him to see clearly even the slightest movement.

Techniques[]

  • Kosen Mutou: Jinsuke performs with his bare hands, resulting in a tremendous fist that can send the opponent spiraling away.
  • Kosahou (交叉法): As stated by Ranmaru, Jinsuke taught him this counterattack technique so that he could use the Eyes of Divine Sight at their top, but he's never seen using it directly.
