Anju (Zenki Series)


 

Anju is a character from the Kishin Douji Zenki series. She is a human woman with green hair, green eyes, skimpy clothing and a huge earrings.

She is an antagonist of the Karuma ark and a powerful magician, who mainly uses elemental magic.

When Anju was a girl, she was found and raised by monks in a buddhist villiage. She was a close friend of Miki Souma and soon both of them fell in love with each other, but then Karuma came, killed most of the monks and kidnapped Anju. Anju was then brainwashed into serving Karuma.

Obviously, Miki Souma was one of the few monks to survive Karuma's wrath.

Anju was never seen again until the events of the second episode of the anime.

She dies in Episode 17 when Karuma turns her into a Hyouijuu and forces Anju to fight Zenki. Zenki himself gets mortally wounded, as Anju is so powerful, that he needs to use Rudra to defeat her.

Fortunately, Zenki recovers and is able to fight on.

Anime

Episode 2

Anju first appears in Karuma's dimension with Karuma (who is levitating in mid air) and her other servants Guren and Goura standing on three rock pillars, where Karuma gives them orders.

Guren and Goura often get into arguments about who is Karuma's best servant, while Karuma and Anju try to calm them down.

Episode 12

Miki Souma meets Anju and finds out that she has been brainwashed by Karuma into being her servant. A flashback occurs where the story of Anju and her relationship with Miki Souma are revealed. Souma desperately tries anything to free Anju from Karuma's control.

Episode 15

Anju is slowly awakening from Karuma's spell, but Karuma notices it and forcibly removes Anju's memories of Miki Souma. In this episode, Karuma supplies Anju with a powerful sealing spell, because Karuma is slowly getting annoyed by Zenki and his friends foiling her plans. At the end of the episode a mind controlled Anju (assisted by Goura and Guren) even manages to seal Zenki into a stone statue. As Karuma lets out an hysterical laugh and calls her servants back.

Episode 17

Souma finally succeeds to free Anju, which enrages Karuma so much, that she flings a magically altered Hyouinomi at Anju, forcibly transforming her into a Hyouijuu, which then attacks and badly wounds Miki Souma. Zenki then comes to Souma's aid and fights Anju and defeats her by using his Rudra attack. Anju isn't only defeated, but dies and Zenki ends up in a badly injured state. This is a huge breakdown for Souma, who then ends up in a coma, having nightmares of Anju's death.

Manga

While Anju's devsketches are first shown in Volume 6 of the manga, Anju herself doesn't make any plot related appearances and stays exclusive to the devsketches sections of the manga.

Interestingly, though, the beginning of Volume 8, features a young woman named Yuki, who looks very similar to her, though is an entirely different person and not related to Anju in any other way.

Goki (Zenki Series)

  Goki   (also known as   Akira Gotou   or   Gokimaru ) is one of the main characters from the   Kishin Douji Zenki series . He is a Demon God with blue hair, blue eyes, detailed armor and two horns on his head. He has pointy ears and his fang is on the right side. In his human form he lacks the armor, horns and fang. Goki is one of  Chiaki Enno's  guardian deities. He likes making figures and sculptures. Goki is generally a very mature person, as he is calm and very intelligent. He is also humble and extremely loyal. In the anime, Goki's human self is mainly referred to as Akira and rarely by his full name Gotou Akira or Akira Gotou.

Kuribayashi (Zenki Series)

  Kuribayashi  is a character from the  Kishin Douji Zenki series . He is a young human man who wears a robe. He is bald and has black eyes. Jukai  is Kuribayashi's mentor. Kuribayashi is also secretly in love with  Chiaki , as in Episode 2 of the anime, he ends up being transformed into the  Hyouijuu Buidou  because of his desire for Chiaki. He sadly never gains the courage to tell her about his feelings. Oddly, Kuribayashi's deep affection towards Chiaki is only present in the anime of the series. The manga mainly handles him as a oneshot character, that rarely appears, if at all. Instead, it features  Akira's  deep affection towards Chiaki, which, while also present in the anime, isn't seen until in the later episodes, as Akira doesn't appear until the second season of the anime. Once Kuribayashi has failed to woo Chiaki in the anime, he never manages to gain the courage to properly speak up to her again.
