Toji Fushiguro

Today, we are going to meet a certain 'Toji Fushiguro.' He is an exorcist, a gym enthusiast, and a bounty hunter when the opportunity arises

Journalist: Hello, Toji! Thanks for agreeing to this interview. Let’s keep it short and direct. Tell me, why did you sell your own son, Megumi, to the Zenin clan? I mean, I guess he didn’t come with a satisfaction guarantee, right?

Toji:Let’s just say I had better things to do than change diapers or listen to teenage angst. He had potential, sure, but I’m not the type to burden myself with feelings. I simply placed him where he could develop his talents. It’s like planting a tree: you put it where it gets the most sunlight, right? And honestly, the Zenin were way more motivated to take care of him than I ever was. A little service rendered, and boom, everyone’s happy… well, maybe not Megumi, but that’s just a detail.

Journalist: Yeah, just a little detail, right? Let’s keep talking about those "little details." Care to explain why the great Toji Fushiguro takes on contracts to hunt down high school kids? I mean, at this rate, are you going to start tracking down kids stealing candy?

Toji: Hey, don’t tempt me, I might just do it for fun! But no, listen, it’s not that simple. For me, it’s all about the challenge. Even a high schooler can be a decent warm-up if you put them in the right situation. A little contract here, a trap there... It’s my creative side. Don’t you think?

Journalist: Yeah, you’re definitely an artist.... By the way, how do you feel about being the idol of all those muscle-bound fans? The ones who think two hours in the gym makes them ready to be like you. How does it feel to be worshipped by an army of walking biceps who want to be "the next Toji"?

Toji: Hah! You mean those guys who spend more time taking selfies in the mirror than lifting weights? Oh, that’s cute. Very cute. But hey, I get it. They all dream of being like me, and honestly, I can’t blame them. Who wouldn’t want to be this impressive? But let’s be clear, those little pretenders will never be like me. They can do all the squats they want, it won’t make them as formidable as I am. I’ve got raw power and the brains to go with it. So if my fans want to worship me, let them. I’ll let them have that little pleasure.

Journalist: You’re a real poet, Toji. But tell me, with all these enemies you’ve made, aren’t you ever afraid of ending up alone? How do you see yourself in ten years? Still chasing down high schoolers, or maybe you’ll open a gym?

Toji: Ah, loneliness, that scares you, doesn’t it? Me, I find it amusing. I’d rather be alone at the top than surrounded by mediocrity. And between us, if I opened a gym, I’d go bankrupt. Why? Because nobody would dare to challenge me twice! And in ten years? Oh, I’ll probably be living the good life somewhere, with a mountain of cash and plenty of satisfaction. That’s the Toji Fushiguro way: no strings, no regrets, always a step ahead.

Journalist: Yeah, the Toji Fushiguro lifestyle, I get it. One last question before we wrap up: Are you aware that some see you as an anti-hero, a guy who respects nothing and no one? Doesn’t it bother you to know that your reputation is... let’s say, a bit controversial?

Toji: Controversial? I love that word! You know, controversy suits me just fine. Why should I care what others think? The opinions of the weak are good for gossip magazines, not for me. I do what I want, I answer to no one. And if that shocks people, all the better! It means I’m doing something right. You can talk about morality all you want; I talk about results. And at the end of the day, I’m the one who gets the last word, whether anyone likes it or not.
