Rough, rude, and competitive, Fugaku seems like a barbaric warrior who loses himself in the fight. A part of him appears to enjoy slaying demons with reckless abandon, but the other is genuinely humane. While he can't deny that his greatest failure bothers him, he has long since resolved to avoid regretting his past and accept reality. He uses his personal experience to offer perceptive and empathetic advice for his comrades through a tough front. His boisterous yet kind nature is well loved by children, who flock to him as their ideal older brother figure. Fugaku cynically picks on Hatsuho and Ibuki, condescending their smugness whenever it arises for comical relief. In the latter case, he sees through Ibuki's superficial front and disdainfully calls him a "pretty boy". (Source: Koei Wikia)
