Haiji

“	As long as you’re afraid of failing and would rather suffer and worry without even trying, there isn’t but a single thing you’ll understand. If there's something you want to know about.. you ought to ascertain yourself! Capture and grasp the truth!	„

To find out about his unknown past, Haiji joins the White Joker organization alongside his assistant Chitose Toriiooji. He is called Barschheit by Nacht, his older brother, and the only person that Haiji recalls from his past's memories.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Haiji’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Haiji doesn't know much about his history himself. His farthest recollection is that of 6 years ago, to be in a large area where the amount of Glowing Corpses was so big that covered the entire floor. Near to him, he spotted a bitten Black Apple and a pitch black-dressed person smiling to him. He later would call the attention of a certain orphanage and receive the name "Haiji". With the Apple on his possession, Haiji dedicated his life to discover the truth behind it and the Glowing Corpses, in order to discover the truth about himself. He started to work in a laboratory in Japan for a certain research institute, being sponsored by an old man and having Chitose Toriiooji as his assistant. He somewhat also got the confidence of the local police, as he was referred as the "usual scientist" that deals with abnormal cases. His researches earned him a total patrimony of €13,650,728.00. Genius vs. God Arc In the middle of a research in his lab, his assistant hastily informs him about a sudden request from the police. Suddenly, an explosion occurs, in which blows Chitose away while Haiji was able to hide behind a protective shield while making a conclusion upon the experiment. After giving his assessment on Chitose's body, his assistant quickly tells him about the request which related to a discovery of a Glowing Corpse. Hearing this, he quickly shoves Chitose away as he leaves the room. At the crime scene, Haiji can be seen utterly fascinated while laughing hysterically upon seeing the corpse. He then immediately calls his sponsor as he asks for a huge amount of research funds which the sponsor approves on. Later on, Haiji starts performing an autopsy upon the said corpse while he reveals to Chitose about his past and the mysterious apple. As he was speaking, suddenly the corpse wakes up and starts transforming into a horned humanoid. As it brings havoc upon Haiji's Laboratory, Haiji can be seen fascinated rather than frightened while naming the monster James. The monster, James, shows his wrath even more as he starts demolishing the entire lab. Chitose who survives from the falling debris, falls into deep silence as she sees a steel rod stabbing through Haiji's back. Seeing his assistant losing her will, he quickly encourages her by stating the true meaning of being a scientist. He also further elaborates on the history of the black apple where he reveals that every people who ate it have lost their life and turned into a Glowing Corpse. Without hesitation, Haiji also eats the apple and suddenly blood came out his entire body. As James about to attack Chitose Toriiooji, a concrete wall can be seen flying towards him which stops him from advancing to Chitose. It turns out that the apple has given Haiji the power to manipulate gravity. Through his newfound power, Haiji can be seen easily defeating James. Later on, he can be seen renewing his goal and stating that his new objective is to reveal everything about this unknown knowledge. After the intense fight with James, Haiji was immediately admitted to a hospital for recuperation. In the morning, it can be seen when Chitose Toriiooji came to visit, he has almost entirely healed where he is now able to casually eats the apple and analyzes the apple's capability. Later on, he can be seen spending the entire afternoon conducting some research and experiment in his hospital room. As the night comes, a Nurse comes to check up on him but suddenly she started to transform into a giant winged Harpy that starts chasing Haiji and Chitose all over the hospital. They also find that the hospital has been surrounded by similar monsters as the one chasing them. Haiji quickly escapes to the rooftop as a last resort where his "apple" is snatched by the Harpy which she gives to a mysterious masked figure. As the said figure claims that he has been watching Haiji, he assessed that Haiji is just a mere human and is not the "brethren" who suppose to possess the apple. The moment he passed his assessment, a building block suddenly come falling down towards Haiji and Chitose. However, as calm and collective as always, Haiji is able to quickly stop the building from falling while assessing the apple's capablity. He then reveals that he has been preparing an apple form bomb the entire day in which he quickly detonated, resulting in a point-blank explosion on the masked figure. To Chitose Toriiooji's surprise, the masked figure survives the explosion. After a slight conversation between him and Haiji, he proceeds to his next attack. Against the attacking Harpy, Haiji resorts in giving her a small scale Gravity Push to the stomach in which forcefully ejecting the two peas out of her. As the Nurse returned to normal, Haiji sends her to Chitose as he challenges the mysterious person who called himself God. Haiji, even with the use of his gravity power, is cornered as his opponent swallowed the peas and transform into a monster himself. However, to the masked figure surprise, Haiji has been secretly taking them to the ocean. As he releases his gravity power, Haiji launches a surprise attack from behind in which draws the masked figure his first blood on the battle. Haiji then quickly escapes to the park where they wait for the nurse to wake up. After leaving the Nurse, Haiji then proceeds on telling his assistant about his prediction about an existence of another Eureka, at the British Royal Museum, England. However, not long after that Chitose suddenly quits her job and runs away, leaving Haiji speechless. In order to bring her back, Haiji visits her house in the morning. Knowing the fact that Chitose's Father had passed away, he quickly turns to her mother and properly asks for Chitose's "hand" in which he got her approval. Haiji then was quickly dragged into Chitose's room for further explanation. After he does quick scan of the room, Haiji then starts giving his assessments over Chitose's work. He reveals that Chitose has become an essential part for him to achieve the truth. He was then can be seen staying in Chitose's room as he waits for her confirmation. Later on after getting her answer, to everyone surprise, Haiji has actually been slowly moving Chitose's house to the airfield. Upon arriving, Haiji then asks her to go to England with him while calling her Chitose. White Joker Organization Arc Arriving at the British Royal Museum, Haiji quickly conducts a significant research on one of the artifacts, a hammer, displayed. He was then being warned by Chitose Toriiooji for his behavior. However, instead of complying to her, he asked her to negotiate with the Museum to hand over to hammer to him. A panicked Chitose suddenly breaks the hammer in which caused both of them to be dragged into an isolate chamber for further questioning. As they are being detained, a curator who took them for custody, asks them their reasons on their appearance at the Museum. As Chitose apologizes for her action, Haiji reveals that the hammer on display is a fake and accused the man in front of him for possessing the real Pythagorean Hammer. The said man then quickly snatches Haiji's apple from his pocket while claiming that he already knows about the man who awakens the Newtonian Apple. As the man threaten to kill them while activating the hammer, Haiji also activates the apple from a piece of the apple that he hides in his mouth beforehand. However, before they could engage each other, a little girl interferes and surprisingly, asks Haiji to join their organization called the White Joker. Unfortunately, Haiji plainly rejects her offer which caused the girl, Mira, to shower him with questions. However, Haiji remains resolute with his decision in which even Alan Blackman's threat cannot shake him. In fact, the threat sparks another tension between them. Mira who has changed her mind about Haiji, deliberately mentions the fact that White Joker had a connection with his past. Hearing this piece of information, Haiji decides to take a peek on their base. As they reach White Joker's base, Haiji yet again obtained a piece of intel about his memory when Mira reveals one of Mavro's attempts to annihilate humanity. Due to the information about the discovery of a massive amount of Glowing Corpse, Haiji recalls a memory where he met a man cloaked in black robe in the middle of those corpses. He also confirms the reason for his resentment to Alan is also because he wears a black attires. In the middle of their conversation, suddenly an explosion occurs. Mira then explains that they have predicted this upcoming invasion from Mavro. Seeing a person cloaked in black appears with a gigantic monster with him, Haiji and Alan Blackman prepare for a fight. Not long in his invasion, Ragins destroys the main pillar of the base in which creates a cave-in. As Mira and Chitose Toriiooji prepare for emergency procedures, Haiji is kept busy holding the debris from falling to the ground which leaves Alan Blackman to stop Ragins and his puppet. As Mira finishes the evacuation and Alan Blackman defeats Ragins' puppet, Haiji release the falling debris and enters the fray. He then can be seen being cornered by Ragins without a way to counter his Thalesian Amber's Lightning Bolt. As Haiji and Alan fall into the ground, suddenly the light went out and Mira can be seen rushing to Alan's side. Alan then explains to Haiji that through Mira, he can heal both of them. After being healed by Mira, Haiji quickly releases Chitose Toriiooji, who manages to stop Ragins from killing Mira, from the said Mavro's grip and quickly dragged her to his side while saying that he'll handle the rest of the fight. The heated fight resumes as Haiji and Alan Blackman have been completely healed. However, Ragins who is unable to shoot electricity anymore, starts rampaging and attacking Haiji and Alan from multiple sides at high speed. Haiji deducts that he stimulates his own muscles by channelling electric current to them. As Ragins is now untouchable, Haiji proposes an idea of combining their Eurekas. When the Eureka touches each other, a reaction occurs where they start changing color. However, due to the strain of using Eureka multiple times, Haiji and Alan start vomiting blood and once again fall to the ground. Seeing their futile efforts, Ragins starts mocking them before being taken by surprise by their devastating combination attack. Haiji and Alan manages to combination "sound" and "gravity" and create a wide scale Crushing Wave which is able to hold Ragins onto the ground. Haiji then proceeds to finish Ragins with another combination attack. As Ragins is in his deathbed, he saw a familiar figure as he sees Haiji's battle stance. However, before he could confirms the mysterious figure, Haiji unleashes a molecules Disintegrating Slicer which vaporizes Ragins completely. Later on, Haiji can be seen collapsing onto the ground due to exhaustion. Labyrinth of Mist Arc After officially becoming a member of White Joker, Haiji and Chitose Toriiooji immediately head off for their first mission. In the aircraft which taking them to a region at France, Haiji can be seen scanning through the basic intel of their mission. As he is intrigued about the coming mission, he also feels delighted as Alan Blackman is not assigned together with him, much to Alan's dismay. Mira also tells them about another member who will be coming with them whom she refers as a tough "Steel Woman". As they reached their destination, they are welcomed by the so-called "Steel Woman" who introduced herself by the name Vivian Blanchard. She can be seen giving Haiji and Chitose a grand welcoming by hovering above ground in her palanquin while showering them with roses. However, unfazed as always, Haiji quickly dragged her down with Newtonian Apple's power and quickly dismantle her palanquin to analyze its structure. As Vivi starts shouting at him, he innocently mentions about her flat chest in which Vivi awards him with a fist in the face. A conversation later, they can be seen arriving at the Witch's, who is the prime suspect of the mission, house where Haiji and Vivi boldly enter the house. At that house, they met a frenchman called Nils who is the grandson of the Witch. He then tells them that his grandmother has been secluding herself inside the Mist Labyrinth. After a slight conversation, they immediately head off to the labyrinth. Upon entering the labyrinth, Haiji starts explaining his hypothesis of Nils' Grandmother being a wielder of an Eureka which he based on the fact that the whole labyrinth is actually made of mist. Further into the labyrinth, the group unknowingly encounter a pair of minotaurs and one of them manages to grab a hold of Haiji. As Haiji asks Vivian Blanchard's assistance, she manages to defeat one of them. Surprisingly, Haiji can be seen standing and observing her during the fight. He tells her that he actually lied and let himself to be taken so he can see Vivi's Sumerian Ruby in action. He then can be seen giving his honest assessments over her power in which makes her blush where she also rejects Haiji's request of her showing him the Eureka's power a second time. Feeling relaxed after they defeated the minotaurs, they were taken by surprise as the two minotaurs start reconstructing their bodies. As Haiji would like to avoid any meaningless fight, he quickly takes everyone with him and escape by flying using the Newtonian Apple's power. However, as they soar through the labyrinth, unknowingly the Mist Labyrinth starts changing its layout which separated them into two group with Haiji left with Nils. Haiji and Nils soon become lost due to the absence of an Eureka Locator which let them to wander aimlessly to every direction. Haiji also concludes that tearing the mist wall only let a single person through at a time and a path from above is useless as the labyrinth would endlessly constructs walls as they advance higher. At this time, Nils starts venting that he still believes in his grandmother and wants to meet her. Hearing this, Haiji makes a promise that he will fulfill his wish. He then starting to think about conducting an experiment where he takes two bites out the Newtonian Apple. After doing so, Haiji gains a boost of power which let him able to demolish a series of wall at once with his Gravitational Wave. As they move on, Nils asks Haiji whether he wants to be his friend in which Haiji approves. As they reach the witch's chamber after being reunited with Chitose Toriiooji and Vivian Blanchard, they find that Nils' grandmother had passed away. Seeing the Witch's dead body, Haiji is then taken by surprise from a sudden appearance of a man who calls himself Dodomekis. Haiji proceeds on asking him about his identity only to be brushed of by him, as he stated that he despise talking to men. Later on, he confesses that he was the one who killed Nils' Grandmother, as he puts on his black coat. Seeing Dodomekis in black attire, everyone quickly realize that he is one of the Mavro. Learning about his Mavro's membership, Haiji starts comparing him with the man from his past. Unfortunately, he concludes that he is not the one that he is searching for. As Dodomekis reveals about his encounters with Nils' grandmother which resulted on the creation of the Mist Labyrinth, Haiji infers that the ever changing Labyrinth was created to prevent the Mavro member attempt of attacking the town where Nils is living by imprisoning him in it. Later on, Haiji can be seen joining Vivian Blanchard fight against Dodomekis by sending him a devastating Gravity Push. However, his attack was rendered useless as Dodomekis quickly regains his ground. Further into the battle, as Vivian being cornered by Dodomekis' Poison Breath, Haiji quickly pulls her away from him. However, it resulted in him unable to avoid Dodomekis' Poison Bath which is filled with Infectious Poison, creating burn-like wounds all over his face and arms which rendering him unable to move. As he is lying on the ground, Haiji then can be seen telling Dodomekis that there is still one more person who is able to fight. However, his statement resulted in Dodomekis to kick Nils down to the ground as he is rendered immobile. Suddenly, in the middle of the frenzy, the Witch appears. Haiji then bears witness upon Nils' Grandmother handing over a family artifact to Nils. While Nils wondering about the said item, Haiji can be seen ascertain that the particular item is one of the Eureka. The moment that the Mist Labyrinth disperse into thin air, the fight restarted with Nils activating his newfound Eureka. Haiji quickly assists Nils in his fight against Dodomekis by launching a surprise Gravity Push attack. Answering to Dodomekis confusion, he reveals that he has forcibly moves his body by supporting it with gravity. Although, Haiji also realize that due to the complexity of the technique, he cannot hold it for a long period of time. As Nils come rushing to Haiji's side, he can be seen praising him by saying that he didn't make the wrong choice whilst also stating that from that moment they will be fighting the same enemy. Although, as he praises him, he also casually informs Nils that he will, later on, examines his body for his Eureka compatibility talent which was inherited due to his unique lineage. As they conclude their conversation, they can be seen preparing for another fight against Dodomekis. As Dodomekis felt uneasy as he sees Haiji face, he quickly throws two massive Poison Bath attack at them. Fortunately, Haiji is able to dodge the attack by flying upward. However, as he still trying to regain his balance, Dodomekis can be seen already standing in front of them where he is ready to deliver devastating punches towards Haiji and Nils. After being saved by Vivian Blanchard, who somehow is able to restrain Dodomekis' movements, Haiji proceeds on combining his Newtonian Apple with Nils' Eureka. As they combine them, Nils' Mist Minotaur can be seen dispersing and start surrounding Dodomekis with the dispersed mist. When Dodomekis starts his mockery over their attempt on hiding within the mist, Haiji explains to him that their true intention is to trap him instead. As the mist has completely surround Dodomekis, it starts to change into liquid form. Haiji reveals that using his gravity attraction force, he is able to condense the mist and change its property from that of a gaseous into a liquid form. Seeing Dodomekis who is unfazed by the water dome that they called Aqua Cage, a coil like pole made of the water starts protruding on the inner surface. It then suddenly shot a powerful beam of water which is strong enough to tear the ground apart and subsequently cut Dodomekis' black coat. Haiji quickly enlighten Dodomekis that the dome and the Water Cutter beam are not the only technique that they had prepared. Soon after that, multiple coils of water start protruding from every corner of the inner surface, ready to be activated. The moment Haiji and Nils activate their combined Cage Violate move, all the water coils start barraging the helpless Dodomekis with beams of water. As Haiji congratulate Nils for job well done, a sphere of black substances suddenly arise. From inside the sphere, a man dressed in total black can be seen coming out of it. The moment Haiji saw him, he quickly trembles as he is in fear. However, his fear turns into joy and excitement when the Mavro calls him Barschheit and reveals that he is his older brother and the man from his past. After finding out that the mysterious man from his memories turn out to be his own older brother, Haiji can be seen becoming petrified as he looks at his brother with excitement in his face. He then can be seen falling into silence as he witness his older brother entering the eerie black substance and appearing right in front of him. Seeing his brother's feat, he starts assuming that his brother possesses the Spatial Manipulation ability which is able to create space distortion. After that, Haiji is once again forced to witness his brother exceptional act where he slowly tortures Dodomekis which resulted on the said Mavro's death. As Haiji watches his brother kills Dodomekis, a part of his memories arise where he sees his older brother standing in the middle of a pile of glowing corpses. Haiji then asks him whether the incident of a massive amount of glowing corpses has a meaning behind it. However, the answer he gets from him resulted in Haiji to fall further into depression as the older brother said that the memories that Haiji have were nothing but memories that were inserted to his mind. Furthermore, he also explains that Haiji had lost his memories because he used him as experimental subject and those memories were inserted in order to prompt Haiji to search for him so he could see the result of his experiment. After all of the sudden revelation, Nacht while referring to Haiji as Barschheit, asks him to join the Mavro in which angers his assistant who tries to defend him. Unfortunately, her anger only gives rise to Haiji's uneasiness which is noted by his older brother. He then once again while offering his hand, asks Haiji to choose between the so-called "God" species Mavro or the humans. Haiji who is still shocked after finding about the truth, rises his hand as he trembles. Unfortunately, to his brother's and everyone's surprise, Haiji indifferently declines his older brother's offer by saying that the one who will win the war would be the humans. Subsequently, he quickly unleashes a point-blank range Air Slicer while stating that he doesn't want to be called as Barschheit as he ignores his brother's reasoning. However, his surprise attack was proven to be useless as the older brother comes unscratched by it. Haiji then can be seen being pressured by his brother's killing intent while the said brother mentions that his younger brother's answers is "logical" as they're mother is a human. He also mentions that he never experience the sort of fear that his younger brother is having right now. Thus, to his reasoning, he decided to spare Haiji's life as there are still things that are unknown to him but not for his younger brother. Moving on, Haiji can be seen still standing helplessly as his brother leaves through his portal. He then can be seen reaffirming his goal and stating that the next time they meet, he will show him the result of his experiment as he intends to intensify his research on the Newtonian Apple. He then can be seen being interrupted by Vivian Blanchard who shyly states that he is not alone which he easily accepts much to everyone surprise. Later on, he once again embarrasses Vivi with his honest intention of examining her steel body. He also asks Nils to prepare antidote to Dodomekis' poison as they rejoice after their long adventure. Blood Ties Arc Haiji and the rest of the group arrive in Rome, Italy after completing their mission at France. As Nils uses his Mist Minotaur to carry the three incapacitated White Joker members around the said organization Medical Facility, Haiji suddenly starts vomiting a quite an amount of blood. Fortunately, looking as indifferent as always, he proceeds on asking Vivian Blanchard about the doctor whom is going to treat them. Before he is able to finish listening to Vivi's explanation, a monkey suddenly appears right beside him. Haiji who is in a critical state, is helpless as the said monkey lifts him up and takes him away from the group. A moment later, the monkey enters a treatment room where it placed Haiji in one of the chairs. An unknown voice then can be heard from behind the curtain where it calls the monkey, Medico, as it greets Haiji. Later on, as Vivi and the rest manage to catch up and arrives at the same room, they witness a quite an intimate scene as a young lady is closing her distance to Haiji. As emotionless as always, Haiji nonchalantly asks the said doctor whether she had an eye problem as she is too close to him. After hearing the doctor's explanation about her treatment method, Haiji starts questioning about her skills as he assessed that Dodomekis' poison is a type that is yet to be discovered. However, as he speaks, all the wounds on his body have already starting to heal while the doctor, Riz Aquilanti, states that the treatment is complete. Unsatisfied with Riz's unknown method, Haiji quickly activates his Newtonian Apple and nullifies the gravity around him and Riz. He then proceeds on asking her mysterious method, to which she vaguely answer by saying that she is only performing her job and would gladly listens to any of her patients' requests. Hearing such devotion, Haiji proceeds on revealing his Mavro and human hybrid lineage to Riz while asking her to perform a complete diagnosis on his body. As the so-called Maria's Soldier falls into tears, Haiji receives a request from his assistant for her to be involved in which he quickly complies as that is her job. A full diagnosis of Haiji's body is then performed where a sample of his blood was taken. Riz's reveals that Haiji had an unfamiliar blood to her as she wonders whether it might holds the secret of the Mavro members' strength. Haiji then reminds her that he is only a half Mavro and only able to exert half of the Mavro's Eureka-compatibility. However, Riz argues his opinion while saying that Haiji's hybrid feature might be able to surpass the pure-blooded Mavro's strength, depending on the way he used it. Later on, Riz proceeds on announcing a new mission for Haiji where she will be participating as well. After Riz Aquilanti reveals the secret of her being a man in which Haiji had already realized, he then briefly explains the said mission. They had to go to Austria to retrieve a painting in which was painted using the Eureka, Landsteinerian Paint. Soon after that, the White Jokers arrive at one of the auction venues in Austria. Haiji, not usually wearing a proper suit, can be seen struggling on tying his tie to which he needs help from Riz Aquilanti. While Haiji complains on Riz's whom oblivious on personal boundary, he can be seen listening as the White Joker's doctor giving a brief explanation on the painting. A moment later, a certain someone starts harassing his assistant which prompts him to defend her by shoving down the said man while once again got tangled by his own tie. As Riz once again helps fixing his tie, they can be seen heading to the venue's hall as the auction begins. As the auction begin, Haiji and Chitose bare witness to the power of Riz's Eureka, the Roentgenian Fluorescent Paper in which enables Haiji to finally understand on Riz's previous unknown healing method. Later on, Riz finally gives his confirmation that the painting they're after, the "Crimson Full Moon", is up for bidding. Haiji who sees that Riz Aquilanti is losing to the previous arrogant millionaire's bidding, quickly placed his own bidding of €13,650,728.00 in which astonished everyone in the venue. His assistant who is oblivious to his wealth, quickly asks the question in which he easily answer by saying that he earns the money from his previous researches while mentioning that such an amount is inexpensive comparing to the knowledge Haiji would gained. Later on, as the White Jokers stare at the "Crimson Full Moon", Haiji can be seen listening as Riz reveals that the possible candidate to wield the Landsteinerian Paint would be his very own assistant, Chitose Toriiooji. As Chitose starts denying her candidacy for the Eureka, Haiji then prepares himself for a fight as a Mavro approaches them. While activating his Newtonian Apple, Haiji then starts underestimating the approaching Mavro as he had already stand victorious against two of them and knowing the fact that it would be two versus one against the Mavro. As Haiji is still indifferently placed a condescending comment at the said Mavro, Riz quickly grabs his arm to escape when he noticed the danger that the Mavro has in his hands. Unfortunately, the moment they managed to reach the exit, the Mavro is able to land his attack in which manages to injure Riz Aquilanti. Haiji then can be seen being taken by surprise as the self-claimed God-class Mavro is wielding two Eurekas at the same time. The Mavro then quickly targets Chitose Toriiooji as his next prey in which Haiji manages to push her away with his Gravity Manipulation. Unfortunately to his surprise, the attack redirects an hit him in the chest in which resulted in a heavy bleeding. As he knows that he is reaching the death's door, Haiji manages to calm his terrified assistant as he says that he glads that she is safe. His action manages to prompt Chitose to activate the Landsteinerian Paint's power and saves his life. Haiji then can be seen reactivates his Apple for counter attacks. The moment Haiji activates his Apple, a strange symptom occurs where the mark of the Apple is appearing not only on his eyes but also on his body. He then proceeds on giving his gratitude and appreciation towards Chitose Toriiooji for her assistance. The Mavro, who cannot stand the sight that Haiji survives his judgement, launches another one of his combined Homing Laser attack. To everyone surprise, Haiji is able to deflect the attack with a single swoop of his hand where Riz analyze that Haiji did it purely with his gravitational power. Enrages from being outclass by a hybrid such as Haiji, the God-class Mavro initiates his strongest attack towards Haiji and Chitose. The young scientist quickly reacts and starts creating a black sphere upon his hand. The black sphere then starts absorbing all the laser beams created from the Mavro's attack. Riz Aquilanti realized that the peculiar black sphere is actually a compressed Black Hole. Haiji then quickly launches his counter attack while the Mavro is confused by the failure of his strongest attack. Still confused and believes that he is superior than him, the Mavro can be seen being sucked into oblivion as Haiji created another Black Hole at point-blank distance from the God-class Mavro. Haiji then proceeds on declaring, as the Black Hole is dispersing, that with the use of his Newtonian Apple, he will defeat even God. Decide Arc After completing his research and manages to manufacture the Hungry Joker Pills in which able to enhance the level of Eureka-compatibility of a human, Haiji proceeds on heading to Japan. In there along with Chitose Toriiooji, Haiji can be seen meeting up with Kildo to intercept the said Mavro's plan of exterminating the humankind. In a dark alley, as Kildo greets him upon his arrival, Haiji gives him his gratitude over his teaching about "God" while also mentioning that it is his turn to teach him all about "human". As they move up into the rooftop, Haiji and Chitose quickly activate their Eureka while the young scientist quickly declares that he had already acquired all the knowledge to fight Kildo on equal ground. Ignoring Kildo's compliment on him, Haiji quickly unleashes his powerful Black Hole technique towards him. Unfortunately to his surprise, Kildo had also received a new Eureka, the Darwinian Seed, in which combined with his Mendelian Peas are able to easily dispel the black hole. Subsequently, Kildo quickly launches his counter attack and stabs Haiji in multiple places with his claws, rendering him immobilized as he declares that he is now the strongest being on Earth. However, unfazed by Kildo's power, Haiji unexpectedly felt pity over the said Mavro as he believes that getting stronger alone is useless an incomparable with rising to power alongside friends and comrades. Kildo who felt ridiculed over Haiji's point of view quickly challenges him to show the so-called power the young scientist put his belief on, which Haiji as he equips his surgical mask, commence his final experiment. After waiting for Chitose Toriiooji to finish on manufacturing Hungry Joker Pills from their White Joker friends' blood sample, Haiji then asks Kildo whether he still remembers about the first Eureka that they had disputed before, the Newtonian Apple. At the same time, all the pills that Chitose had manufactured was swallowed by the Apple as Haiji explains that by going through this process, they managed to create a perfect Eureka. As the young scientist starts referencing from the old testament about the so-called fruit of Genesis, Haiji then calls the evolved Eureka as the Edenic Fruit of Knowledge. Suddenly, Haiji's surgical mask starts to rip apart and creating a huge jaw in which completely swallow the said perfect Eureka. As Haiji finally activates his new Eureka's power and slowly disintegrates Kildo's binding over him, he calmly asks the Mavro to carefully observe his power.

Equipment

• Newton's Apple: Being an Eureka adapter, Haiji is able to use these items, and the one of them that's in his possession is the Newtonian Apple, which grants him access over the ability to manipulate gravity. The Apple takes the form of an ordinary apple with a single stem protruding at the top. One main differences is that the apple is black in color. It also has a distinct feature located at the lower half of the apple. The feature is a horizontal curve line which extends across the apple's front surface. The said line also has seven vertical lines spread across with different lengths between each others. This particular feature gives off the vibes that the apple is actually "smiling".
  • Eden's Fruit of Knowledge: Eden's Fruit of Knowledge is regarded as the Perfect Eureka is the Fruit of Genesis, that is, the Eureka mother of all the others. Although being a mystical fruit created in the beginning of the world, it is possible to be recreated in the current days according to the White Joker's research. With it, it is possible to obtain the Almighty Power. After eating the Fruit, the user's body becomes transcendental, to the point where it can produce the desired effects in both themselves and the surroundings. For an example, they become able to reduce structures to their conceptual chemical formula, heal themselves and their clothes with some sort of flame that allows them to levitate.
• Experimental Apparatus: Haiji has a bag carrying small flasks and bottles attached to his belt, that's used by him even when he's not performing experiments. Whether this bag can be used for storing small items it's currently unknown. As a scientist, Haiji always uses a lab coat for identification and dirt protection. Haiji also has a smartphone.
• Laboratory Instruments: Prior to James' rampage in his workplace, Haiji possessed a great amount of experimental apparatus, that allowed him to perform several experiments and practices, such as the study of compounds and the undergoing of autopsies. Among his paraphernalia, it could be observed tubes, erlenmeyer flasks, volumetric flasks, hoses, lamps, a shield, scalpel, a cadaver dissection table, and a laser beam emitter. In addition, Haiji also possessed a bulletin board, boxes, a bookcase and a shelf as data storage, as well an apple tree over the entire laboratory and glowing lizard for his research on the Black Apple and the Glowing Corpses.

Notable Techniques

Regular

• Intelligence: Haiji is a very intelligent person, managing to become a renowned and credited scientist at a very young age, working for a certain Research Institute and having a personal sponsor. He's able perform several scientific experiments at a time in order to conduct complex research on a wide variety of concepts, this is owed mainly to his strong sense of awareness and high capacity for accurate deduction. He managed to figure out the powers of Newtonian Apple by himself, while some of the other Eureka users had to be taught or research how to use theirs, showing that Haiji possesses reasoning above average. He has extensive scientific knowledge, which helps him in his researches and in coming up with strategies when fighting against his opponents. His logical and highly analytical way of thinking also led to him discovering many possibilities about the powers of Eureka, such as combination or multiple use.
  • Chemistry: Haiji has a very good understanding of chemical substances. His laboratory used to be full of equipment used in chemical experiments, and Haiji has been shown to be able to prepare a protein-based explosive compound on the fly.
  • Biology: Haiji has an interest in biology and seems to know a lot about biological systems. He inquired to Chitose about which Family her stuffed animal belonged, and keeps a perculiar lizard whose body unusially glows in his lab. He was able to deduced that James became a monster due to genetic mutations on his body, even though it was an abnormal occurrence.
  • Medicine: Haiji's impressive medical knowledge is demonstrated when he was able to perform autopsies on some corpse and preserve them for future analysis. He's also able to properly apply anesthesia to a body.
  • Mathematics: Haiji is shown to be able to calculate exetremely long lengths with great precision, showing a capacity for dimensional analysis.
  • Logic: Haiji's complex logical reasoning is one of his greatest assets and has consistently been shown to help him several times more than his Eureka. For an example, his ability to understand his Eureka's abilities and successfully deducing that biting the Apple more than once would result in a successive increase of received power. He also reasonably concluded that Isaac Newton formulated his theories because he was the adapter of the Apple, whose juice he drank.
  • Craftsmanship: Haiji is able to build device with a significant easy, as even when hospitalized, he managed to build a remote-activated bomb in the shape of his Apple; making it a perfect replica that deceived even Killed. He was also to quickly understand the mechanics behind Vivian Blanchard's flying device by skillfully disassembling it a little.
  • History: Haiji is keeps a thorough collection of data and resources regarding scientific facts, such as the history of the Apple and other Eurekas from the human perspective. His knowledge in the area made him able to recognize the previous adapters of several Eureka.
  • Physics: Haiji's skill with his Eureka is supplemented by his understanding of physics. When battling James, Haiji noted that he wasn't able to crush the monster with his current power and subsequently, by applying his knowledge of the scientific concept of pressure, used the air to slice James in a half. He also demonstrated insight on the principles of acoustics and electricity.
  • Predictions: Haiji was able to predict several situations and prepare himself to deal with them beforehand, like when he knew that Killed would try to steal his Apple. Also, due being an Eureka user, Haiji is able to determinate the localization of an Eureka with relative precision.

Newton's Apple

• Gravity Manipulation: When Haiji takes a bite of his Apple, he obtains powers that allow him to manipulate the gravitational attraction forces and its several aspects in a certain area, and between the bodies contained therein. Overall, Haiji's abilities consist on the manipulation of force vectors between bodies, being the type of this force the gravitational one. As gravitational force is a physical quantity that depends on the masses and distance between bodies, and these aren't changed by Haiji when using his powers, it can be assumed that their nature consist in the abrupt alteration of the Gravitational constant in the area affected.
  • Gravity Intensification: Haiji is able to increase the intensity of gravity force exerted by the planet on their target(s), creating an attractive and repulsive force. The same can be done with the gravitational attraction between him and/or other bodies.
    • Gravity Pull: Haiji can increase the attractive force of a certain body to make objects to be thrown at it with great force. This also makes him able to increase his own gravity to make opponents and objects to be attracted to him, prompting him to launch physical attacks. Additionally, he can intensify the gravity of the Earth to make the target(s) "heavier" and restrain them, with a force strong enough to crush the ground itself, creating a crater.
      • Gravitational Wave: Haiji was shown to be able to perform this movement only after taking two successive bites of the Apple, thus enhancing his powers. He waves his arms down and makes a wide linear area in front of him to be crushed by a strong gravity.
    • Gravity Push: Haiji is able to make objects to be repelled by him, changing the amount of gravitational force between them and himself, which effectively makes the object fly away with great force from him. It becomes useful when Haiji has his movements restrained by something like a rope.
  • Gravity Nullification: Haiji becomes able to nullify the effect of a planet's gravity to, for an example, allowing him and other objects to float. The power degree of this nullification, that is, the limit of weight that Haiji is able to annul, depends on his experience and strength, but it's known that even enormous parts of buildings can be lifted by the his power even after taking a successive bite of the Apple.
  • Flight: This ability can be used to allow him and other bodies to levitate above the ground. Once in Zero-G, Haiji is able to fly around freely, matching attractive forces to the direction where he is going to. While flying, Haiji can deliver powerful flying attacks enhanced by gravity, that were strong enough to break Killed's mask and make him bleed.
  • Wall Walking: Haiji can create a pseudo gravitational field into any objects, allowing him to attach himself and others to any surface where they can walk and stand up on it. He can do it at the same time as lifting the very object, what makes it a floating surface for Haiji.
  • Air Slicer: Haiji can even control the gravity exerted on a certain mass of air, what allows him to use it as a slicer, mainly when applying a sudden high amount of gravitational force in a smaller area. He does this by pointing his hand upwards and then swiftly waving it downwards, effectively tracing the region cut by the Slicer.
  • Gravitational Controller: Through a precise application of multiple vectors of gravitational force strategically placed on his body, Haiji is able to control his own movements by forcing them. It becomes useful for him once he's with his movements restrained.

Enhanced Form

• Enhanced Gravity Manipulation: Haiji's control of the gravity reaches to a level where even light, an electromagnetic wave whose mass is immeasurably small and only explained by Einstenian's General relativity theory is within his power's range. Such ability implies that the there are no entities that can't be trapped by his powers.
• Black Hole: Haiji stretches his hand forward and concentrates an enormous attractive force in a single point, therefore efficiently creating a small black hole, that is impressively under his complete control, absorbing only what Haiji desires in a swirl-like pattern, including light. A quick change of the target being absorbed also can be useful for Haiji to prevent that target from running away.

Eden's Fruit of Knowledge

• Evolved Body: After eating the Fruit, the user's body becomes transcendental, to the point where it can produce the desired effects in both themselves and the surroundings. For an example, they become able to reduce structures to their conceptual chemical formula, heal themselves and their clothes with some sort of flame that allows them to levitate.

Combindations:

• Pythagorean Hammer: An experiment of Haiji consisted in combining his Eureka with Alan's, that proved to be successful. To perform it, Haiji and Alan touched their Eureka, that changed their colors.
  • Crushing Wave: Once Haiji and Alan activate their powers, they're able to produce a devastating sonic wave that crushes everything in every directions, except in a small are that protects themselves and allies. They stand in the area as well, each one pointing to a side where the wave is being created, therefore creating an Omnidirectional Wave-Shaped Destruction. It was strong enough to destroy everything, from the floor to hard wreckage, inside a White Joker's base.
  • Disintergrating Slice: Another move enhanced by the combination is the Air slicer: Haiji does the same hand movement to cut the target with air, and, after being cutted, sound vibrations are reverberated on the cutting local, that cause the destruction of the molecules of the target's body, disintegrating them.
• Heronian Aeolipile: The second experiment of Eureka combination performed by Haiji and Nils Lees also proved to be successful. To do so, the steam produced by Nils' Aeolipile enveloped Haiji's Apple and the two acquired both Eurekas' powers combined.
  • Aqua Cage: A huge mass of mist is produced around the users, effectively hiding them in the mist while they prepare the attack, that consists in surrounding the target with such mass of mist in the shape of a dome, and then using the gravity to increase the mist's pressure in order to condensate it and create a giant water dome to trap the target inside. Other portions of mist also get condensed, making giant water bubbles to surround the dome as well.
    • Water Cutter: By controlling the shape of the water present in the Aqua Cage's wall, the users can mold the water into a syringe-shaped format, that can forcefully eject ultra-high-pressurized water from its pump, that can slice anything that comes in contact with it.
    • Cage Violate: Haiji and Nils create several Water Cutters, all of them pointing at a target, and then make all the water present in the dome to be ejected from them with a great force, causing the Aqua Cage to burst into water and be dispelled in rain.

Other

Standard Tactics: Haiji will opt immedieatly for eating Newton's Fruit and using his gravity techniques on his opponent. If it is evolved Haiji, he will immedeitly open up for using a black hole on his opponent. Haiji with access to the Eden's Fruit of Knowledge will instantly go for ending the fight through reducing his opponent to their conceptual chemical formula and then erase them from that.

Weaknesses: Initially on a single bite from the apple his powers will only last 5 minutes, though after repeated use the timeframe increases.

Trivia

• Whenever Haiji flies while carrying Chitose Toriiooji with him, he always carries her backward with her back facing forward.
• Haiji's other name, Barschheit, literally means harshness in German.
• He is the influence and model of Yuno from Tabata's current series, Black Clover.
