Meet Akutaro Shindo, the Leader of NG Boys
While Minato Kai has always been about man-to-man combat and pursuing its members’ true strength, and Siguma Squad is pretty much centered on its kebab-loving leader, Marito Jin, and his friend Outa, the NG Boys, led by Akutaro Shindo, excel in using underhanded methods.
In Bucchigiri Episode 4, the identity of the emperor has finally been revealed, and it is none other than Akutaro Shindo.
He was the same man who was banished from Minato Kai half a year ago after he had some conflict with Kenichiro Doman, the details of which have yet to be revealed.
Since then, Akutaro has climbed his way up to become the leader of the NG Boys, who were not known as a toxic gang back in the day.
Ever since Akutaro assumed leadership, the members of the NG Boys have been messing around with various civilians, causing a public disturbance.
Akutaro is also using his pawns to initiate a full-out gang war between Minato and Siguma without both squads knowing what he’s really up to or what’s going through his mind.
Hence, it seems like Akutaro wants Minato and Siguma to destroy each other for the sake of his gang.
How Strong Is Akutaro Shindo in Bucchigiri? Here's What We Know So Far
Unlike Minato Kai’s Kenichiro Doman and Siguma Squad’s Marito Jin, Akutaro Shindo uses a whip to fight his opponents.
He has great control over his whip as if it’s part of his own body. He is also agile, capable of holding himself against Arajin Tomoshibi.
With his whip, Akutaro could easily inflict severe pain on his opponents. As shown in his encounter with Zabu Kakeru, Akutaro never gave him an opening and continuously lashed at his opponent’s body.
In addition, Akutaro knows how to finish his opponents with a deadly kick. Akutaro can also get up from being punched in the face by Arajin and Senya!
Bucchigiri Episode 4 Ending Shows Akutaro Shindo With a Honki Person
It’s unclear whether Akutaro has a Honki person on his side similar to Arajin’s Senya the Majin.
But the way the episode shows Ichiya suddenly appearing behind Akutaro’s back (like a JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure stand) could imply that he has also made contact with a Honki person.
If so, Akutaro would be more difficult to deal with as Honki people like Senya can boost the combat prowess of its users.
