* PragmaticVillainy: He backs out of his deal with [[spoiler:Shuten Douji]] and betrays him by devouring him, saying that while they're both AxCrazy murderers, he hates to see [[spoiler:Shuten Douji]] go for a brutal but quick kill on [[spoiler:one of Taisui's shikigami]]. This doesn't align well with Rapacious Bleached Head's love for inflicting gruesome torture and a slow, painful death on his victims.

The spirit haunting the old I Watergate. He was a normal boy who lived happily with his father. That changed when he got remarried.

She also had an affair with another man, who eventually killed his father when the latter discovered him. To dispose of the corpse, they turned his father's body into meatballs and told the boy to dispose of it. Due to the stepmother starving him, he ate the meatballs, not knowing it was from his father's corpse. Eventually the stepmother killed the man in an argument, while the boy escaped to the watergate.

When she was alive, she was beautiful and kindhearted woman who sold herself into prostitution to feed her family, given the name Otogiri. She eventually became an Oiran and was set be bought by a lord, but a courtesan serving under her named Kurenai poisoned his drink and framed Otogiri for it. The lord survived and beat Otogiri until she was disfigured. She was thrown out by the brothel, where her declining health caused her syphilis to progress to later stages. She used up her savings on mercury, believing it would cure her, but to no avail.
