Personality

As a teenager, Haruchiyo has a calm demeanor and rarely talks. He was extremely loyal and much nicer to those he follows and worships. However, it is later revealed that he is also quite manipulative and is exceptionally good at deceiving other people. As an adult, Haruchiyo seems to be more extroverted, blunt, and loud. Similarly, he resembles Joker. He is ruthless and displays psychopathic tendencies. It’s implied this is caused by the drugs he takes, which provokes his rather maniac personality. He takes sadistic delight and notorious euphoria when executing traitors, while voicefully stating he is enacting Mikey's will. When encountering Takemichi, Haruchiyo ordered him to be silent for the "king" would speak, and threatened to shoot Takemichi for his casual approach, believing it a disrespect. In his younger days, before meeting Yasuhiro Muto, he was described as a wild horse who couldn’t keep himself out of trouble. This made it quite difficult for other divisions in the gang to manage him. It is said later on that he is often banned from meetings due to his ‘bad character’. Haruchiyo’s most notorious trait is his fanatical idolatry towards Manjiro Sano, believing Mikey to be his "king" (akin to the Chess King), and thus deserving of the utmost respect, loyalty and devotion. He is so inclined towards protecting Mikey or the image of him, that he assaulted a gang by himself when they were badmouthing Toman. He also approached Mucho when released from detention, purely to kill him for treason for betraying his king, going as far as brutalize him to his bones for his remnants to be left to be found afterwards.

Skills and Abilities

Authority The positions held by Haruchiyo have varied depending on different futures and pasts. He is Bonten's number 2, the Toman Fifth Division Vice-Captain, and the Vice-Leader of the Kanto Manji Gang, meaning, he has the highest authority in the gang aside from Mikey. Manipulation Haruchiyo may appear to be a calm and trustworthy person, but is actually very manipulative. He was able to manipulate Mucho for a very long time and dismembered him after he betrayed Mikey. This manipulative trait has ceased, following Mikey and Takemichi's successful time travel to undo tragedies together. Fighting Prowess Haruchiyo has been shown to be a capable fighter. He is always seen fighting with a weapon. Haruchiyo was shown to be capable enough to fight both Ran and Rindo Haitani who together are an extremely powerful combination. He also effortlessly managed to defeat his little sister, Senju Kawaragi who at one point was considered one of the Three Deities, although he did mention it was partially because it was him who raised her. While using a katana he was seen fighting Tenjiku's former strongest Kakucho, with himself having the advantage in the situation.
