Kuroudou Akabane

Kuroudou Akabane is a male anime and manga character who features in GetBackers.

Biography

Kuroudou Akabane (Japanese: 赤屍蔵人, Hepburn: Akabane Kuro'udō)

It had been revealed that he used to be a real doctor/surgeon. He actually used to save lives when he served as the doctor on a battlefield. While on a stint in a foreign battlefield, he failed to save a young boy's life despite his efforts.

He fought with Ginji and lost when Ginji discovered that Akabane hid his scalpels within himself and used electromagnetic powers to pull them out of Akabane. Afterwards, Akabane simply left, telling Himiko that he was no longer interested in the job since he had lost blood and felt compensated for his time. Since then, he has shown a lot of interest in fighting again with Ginji and Ban Mido, even if they are supposed to be on the same side, for the sake of seeing their true power.

Overview

Personality and attributes

He came to be known as Dr. Jackal.

Powers and abilities

Akabane's primary weapons are 108 razor-sharp surgical scalpels which he can hurl with deadly accuracy. Although the GetBackers initially believed that he simply concealed the weapons beneath his flowing clothes, when Ginji incinerated them in their first battle it became apparent that Akabane actually conceals the scalpels within his own body. The scalpels appear to be an extension of Akabane - although he rarely chooses to manipulate their movement once thrown normally, he has displayed the ability to summon them back into his body from a distance. His most spectacular use of his scalpels is in his "Bloody Rain" attack, where he will launch all of the weapons into the air and direct them to rain down on a single target. Another of the many uses is that he can hurl his scalpels to form a hurricane around his victim before impaling them into the victim's body, a move he calls the "Bloody Hurricane". He has used it once in episode 32 on Ban. He can also throw his scalpels directly at the opponent, which is known as the "Bloody Stream".

Other unique powers include the "Bloody Cross" - by laying his palm outwards which has a cross scar, a cross-like pattern will appear, and cause his opponent to be cleaved into 4 quarters as though they were sliced by a cross-shaped knife. So far, he's only used it twice: against Kagami (who survived by letting his mirror double take the hit) and Kanade (who was later nailed to a tree with Akabane's scapels and stuck there until Kaoru Haruki healed him).
