"The War Criminal of Sagittarius―Aiming and killing, Unsun Sajitari."
- — Unsun Sajitari
Unsun Sajitari (ウンスン・サジタリ, Unsun Sajitari), real name Sashitari Usuki (
Personality[]
Unsun Sajitari is a quiet man that mostly keeps to himself, wearing a calm and subdued expression whilst only adding brief comments to his comrades' words. He is disciplined, learning the art of archery through extraordinary training, but he also has a powerful sense of justice, which is what led him to commit his crime in the first place. When he realizes his impending doom, he accepts it with similar docility, even commenting that he's glad he was the one to die, instead of his comrades. He also appears humble, praising Niwatori as a great warriors after defeating her.[2] Like all the other war criminals, Unsun hates war and is ready to give up his own life in order to eradicate it.[3] He speaks in archaic Japanese (similarly to a samurai) and dresses in a very traditionally Japanese way, but he reportedly has a distaste for Japanese food (especially onigiri) since he finds the idea of food made with one's hands unpleasant.[2]
Appearance[]
Unsun Sajitari is a tall Japanese man with short, black hair and thin, slanted eyes. His most distinguishing feature is a large scar in the middle of his face which stretches from the top of his forehead down passed his the right side of his nose and to his chin. He is shown wearing a traditional Japanese archery hakama, with an ornate pattern on the sash with matching sandals, black fingerless on both hands, and a quiver full of arrows on his back.
Background[]
Unsun Sajitari was a promising new employee of a defense contractor agency. However, after coming across certain acts of injustice that were being covered up in the industry, his sense of justice compelled him to publicize the information. Although this lead to the injustice being stamped out, an unintended consequence was the leak of military weapon blueprints, which led to the deaths of millions of people. As a result, Unsun was charged with leaking confidential information and became wanted as a war criminal. In repentance for his actions, he took it upon himself to eschew modern weapons in favor of the bow and arrow, his single-minded and hardworking nature allowing him to master the art by the age of 20.[2]
Abilities and Equipment[]
- Bow and Arrow (
弓矢 , Yumiya): Unsun's primary weapon, a large bow with an angular shape. As repentance for his errors, Unsun decided to only use this old fashioned weapon instead of any modern armaments.[2] - The Unshot Shot (
不射 の射 , Fusha no Sha): An archery technique mastered by Unsun Sajitari at the age of 20 after intensive training. No details are given about how the technique works, though Unsun is capable of accurately hitting his target from many dozens of meters away.[2]
