Shotaro Mugyiwara:
The Main Character of the Webnovel
Date of Birth: January 30, 2008
Zodiac Sign: Aquarius
Eye Color: Vermillion
Hair Color: Platinum
Height: 240 cm (approximately 7'11")
Weight: 1000 kg (2204 lbs) — not due to bulk, despite being actually way buffer for his age, but because his muscle fibers are far denser than a normal human's, forged through divine energy, trauma, and repeated exposure to forces no body should survive. His body feels like steel wrapped in skin, yet moves with the grace of someone half his size. Walking causes a faint tremor if he doesn't actively suppress it.
Hairstyle: Modeled after Vergil from Devil May Cry. Shotaro keeps his hair slicked back and spiked, with six distinct strands falling symmetrically over his face—three on each side, each bending slightly inward to form a sharp, balanced frame.
Skin Tone: Originally pale, his skin was forever altered after a divine lightning strike as a baby, burning his cells and leaving him with a distinct olive-tan hue—a mark of the heavens.
Born to Hashirama Mugyiwara and Himawari Mugyiwara, the latter still a virgin at the time, Shotaro's birth shook the cosmos. On the night of his arrival, the stars aligned, forming the kanji "ムギワラ" in the sky as the entire solar system moved into divine alignment, the same Mugyiwara family birth mark being on his right shoulder.
The miracle of his birth reached across spiritual and religious realms. Declared the Messiah by the Pope the very next day, his existence marked a turning point in prophecy and belief systems alike.
On the day of his birth, time itself was stopped to allow three legendary beings to visit the newborn, guided by Angel Gabriel:
Ashwathama, the immortal warrior, embedded into Shotaro's infant mind the Knowledge Crystals of the Narayanastra, Brahmastra, and Bhramshirastra—legendary astras. This act recognized Shotaro as the karmic reincarnation of Krishna and ensured he would grow with a divine instinct for celestial warfare.
Kaine, the cursed wanderer who once murdered his own brother, bestowed a blessing of Lucidty, allowing Shotaro's mind to withstand even the most elderitch uncomphrehandle stuff, meaning he can infact figure out stuff a normal human can.
Al-Kidr, the eternal wanderer and hidden saint of divine knowledge, laid his hand upon the child's forehead and granted him the ability to understand all languages—spoken, written, or signed—in English. A gift that would make Shotaro a bridge between peoples, faiths, and dimensions. He saw in him a vessel of universal understanding; everything he would say would be in the listener's mother tongue; whatever he heard would be English.
Until the Hokkaido incident happened.
Religion: Due to being both the messiah & Kalki, he is probably both Jewish & Hindu in a sense Jesus & Krishna were
Hobbies:
Video Games—His favorites are the Devil May Cry series (particularly for Vergil), Tomb Raider, Silent Hill, COD, Apex legends, Minecraft and Assassin's Creed—though he lost interest after Unity. Games, to him, are a form of myth in motion.
Anime & Manga – A huge Dragon Ball fan, Shotaro also enjoys darker seinen works like Nana, Madoka Magica, and Berserk. He avoids slice-of-life genres, feeling disconnected from their themes of calm normalcy.
Scrubbing toilets—a daily ritual. Shotaro cleans his toilet every single morning and cannot mentally function if even the smallest stain remains. It's an expression of inner discipline—a war against chaos, one flush at a time.
Cooking & Cleaning – He finds peace in domestic work, often doing chores without being asked. His food is simple but refined, and he cooks with the same focus he brings to battle.
Reading Religious Texts—His bookshelf holds the Quran, Bible, Torah, and the Bhagavad Gita—not for dogmatic study, but to better understand what kind of messiah he might be. He keeps the covers dust-free, respecting them as windows to human hope.
TV he's all in. His favorites include Breaking Bad, Doctor Who, and Game of Thrones—though he famously stopped watching GoT after season six, claiming he had a gut feeling the ending would fall apart. Turns out, he was right, and he's smug about it to this day.
Movies—he's developed a fondness for South Asian cinema—especially Bollywood and Tollywood. Their unfiltered drama, out-of-pocket action, and unapologetic emotional swings feel like a wild fever dream he can't look away from. It's both absurd and brilliant to him, that's why he often makes refrences to those
Personality:
Shotaro Mugyiwara is a walking enigma—sassy, sarcastic, and unapologetically filterless. His wit is sharp, and his tongue even sharper, constantly laced with snark. He enjoys getting under people's skin, pushing their buttons just to see how they react, all while analyzing their true nature. For Shotaro, people are puzzles, and every interaction is a game to him—one that's less about connection and more about revealing the raw truth beneath the mask.
He doesn't bother with monologues or deep, introspective speeches; he speaks whatever's on his mind, often without a second thought. Especially when he's drunk, he becomes even more unrestrained, offering a flood of unfiltered thoughts. He's often blunt to the point of discomfort, preferring to shatter illusions rather than spare feelings. Truth is his currency, and he spends it liberally.
While Shotaro might come off as a sharp-tongued provocateur, he is, in reality, a master of reading people. He can quickly assess who is capable of redemption and who is beyond saving, not through lofty ideals, but through sheer observation. His insight into human nature is both a gift and a curse, as it isolates him from those who remain oblivious to their own flaws. He can see the darkness in people, but he doesn't judge them for it—he understands it. Everyone is just a reflection of their choices and circumstances.
Beneath the brash exterior, Shotaro carries a profound trauma from his past, though you'd never guess it from his demeanor. Instead of confronting this pain head-on, he buries it deep, distracting himself with… well, unusual coping mechanisms. For hours, he might binge-watch "teacher porn", not in a sexual sense but more like a bizarre, detached form of escape—like watching an odd Netflix series that's both comforting and distracting. It's not about gratification; it's a way to shut his mind off, numb himself from the weight of his own soul.
In terms of morality, Shotaro has a complex view. He doesn't see the world in terms of "good" and "bad." For him, these labels are meaningless in the grand scope of the universe. Power defines morality. Actions, rather than inherent traits, determine right from wrong—
Morality, to Shotaro Mugyiwara, is not a birthright, not a cultural construct, not a divine commandment etched into stone—it's a mirror held up to the soul only when one is unshackled from consequence. He believes that the world's obsession with labeling things "good" or "evil" is nothing more than a comforting illusion, a mass delusion constructed by those too afraid to admit that virtue is often born of weakness, and that mercy from the powerless is not mercy at all, but desperation wearing a saint's mask. For Shotaro, power is the ultimate clarifier. Power, real power, is the freedom to do as you will with others—freedom to harm, to help, to walk away—and it is in that sacred moment of control where a person's truest self is exposed, raw and unfiltered. He does not believe people become corrupt because of power; rather, power is the scalpel that slices away pretense, revealing what was always there. It is not that the world lacks morality—it lacks people who have held power and still chosen grace. He does not romanticize suffering, nor does he scorn ambition, but he watches, always, for what one does when they no longer have to pretend. That is his religion: not gods, not scriptures, but the decision made in silence when the leash is in your hand and the world waits to see if you pull.
he doesn't align with any side. He's not a leftist, not a right-winger—he sees both as flawed cults of certainty. But he does enjoy acting like a bigot around "snowballs"—the overly sensitive, overly outraged types. Not because he believes the things he says, but because he enjoys watching the mask of moral superiority crack when they're provoked. For him, it's not politics—it's a character test. He throws fire just to see who melts, who panics, who gets mean when their high ground feels threatened. It's part of his broader belief: people show their true nature when they think they're in control—or when they feel they're losing it.
Dislikes
Shotaro has a visceral distaste for arrogant, ego-stroking types—the kind who'd suck their own dick if they were just a bit more flexible. He especially loathes when they flaunt their inflated pride like it's divine currency. And while he knows it's not the most virtuous trait, he gets a near-sadistic satisfaction from watching those egos crumble. It's not about dominance—it's about reality enforcing humility, and him watching it happen like a private cinema.
He also despises gacha games. Especially Fate/Grand Order and anything made by HoYoverse. If he weren't trying to be a good guy, he swears he would've torched Mihoyo's entire headquarters along with a chunk of Shanghai, just on principle.
Then there's turtles. Yes, turtles. He got jumped by a bunch on a beach as a baby—don't ask how—and he's held a grudge ever since. They're slow, scaly, and suspicious.
Red pill culture also grinds his nerves. Incel, femcel, alpha, sigma, beta, "Queen"—he finds the whole hierarchy pathetic. It's cosplay psychology for people who've turned bitterness into a belief system. He especially can't stand when they try to flex superiority by shitting on the opposing gender like it's a sport.
Finally, large boiled chunks of vegetables in his food. He's not picky otherwise—he'll eat nearly anything—but those rubbery, overboiled veggie blobs? Something about their texture and appearance feels aggressively unappetizing. They offend him on a visual level.
Weaknesses
Despite all the divine blessings, Shotaro isn't invincible—and his flaws are just as interesting as his strengths. One of his most peculiar vulnerabilities is self-imposed: due to the lucidity gifted by Kaine, his brain processes every sensory detail—every flicker of light, sound, and motion—with unbearable clarity. To cope, he intentionally slows his cognitive processing down to a manageable pace, like lowering the volume on a deafening world. But this makes him easy to catch off-guard. He gets "caught lacking" more often than you'd expect from someone considered a messiah.
Then there's his physical density. Shotaro weighs one metric ton (1000 kg) due to his inhuman muscle density. That means he can't swim—he sinks like a divine anvil. He also can't ride a bike or any standard two-wheeler unless it's built like a tank. It's not that he doesn't know how, it's that physics simply won't let him.
Perhaps his most philosophical weakness is the narrative nature of his power. His strength is not absolute—it's contextual. If he's facing something evil, twisted, or irredeemable, his power skyrockets to meet that threat. But if the opponent can be reasoned with, if there's still humanity left in them, then he's locked out of his full strength. His body—and the universe—refuses to escalate. He can't win with power in those cases; he has to win with words. It means that sometimes, thehero has to sit down and have a conversation he doesn't want to have, to save them.
Redoman's Words on Shotaro
"When I was designing Shotaro, I had a mix of Goku, Superman, and Archer from Fate in my mind—characters with immense power, yet human flaws, burdens, and complexities. The idea of tormenting him, watching his struggle, his growth, his beliefs, and his immense power be tested in ways that push him to his limits? I can't help but wonder just how far he can be pushed. I'm curious to see what cracks first—the hero, the messiah, or the man beneath it all. Because in the end, it's always about the conflict between who he is, and who he's expected to be.
