• Number Two: He's outright referred to this in the show, and he's second in the command chain.
• Redemption Equals Death: Clone Bunzo gives his own life to shield Hayato from gunfire. He dies asking Hayato if he's truly a human, to which Hayato tells him what he did was a very human thing.
  • The same may be true of the real Bunzo as well. The narrator states the reason he chose to kill himself rather than be saved was because he realized how horrible he had become.

• Driven to Suicide: Commits suicide after being talked down by his brother.
• Shoe Phone: Zig-zagged. His main weapon is a seemingly-ordinary brass knuckle... that can fire laser beams.

Iwao Daimon

Portrayed by: Yuji Abe

The owner of the Daimon Konzern, who is really The Devil in disguise.

---

• Badass in a Nice Suit: Fights Draft Redder and decisively smacks him down, all while in the form of a man in a business suit.
• Big Bad: He's the biggest threat the Exceedraft team faces and the one behind several seemingly independent villains they gone up against. Considering he's the Devil, he may technically be responsible for every act of evil in the series.
• Corrupt Corporate Executive: His public guise is that of the owner of a major business conglomerate.
• Deal with the Devil: In one instance he offered one Villain of the Week a chance to save his son by assisting him in his plans. Fitting, given who he is.
• Louis Cypher: "Daimon" sounds a lot like "demon". This is pointed out by Hayato.
• The Man Behind the Man: Turns out, Carlos Togo was a practicing Satanist and was influenced by Daimon to commit his atrocities.
• Oddly Small Organization: Outside of his two secretaries that accompany him in his first appearance (who do nothing but stand in front of him) and the few Villains of the Week he employs, the Daimon Konzern doesn't seem to have any employees and Daimon doesn't have very many subordinates he uses, preferring to get things done on his own.
• Outside-Genre Foe: Him being Satan means he's many many leagues above the typical villains the Exceedraft team face, and the atypical ones like Carlos.
• Phrase Catcher: "Daimon... Akuma!"
• Satan: He's the Devil. There's not much more you can say really.
• Villains Out Shopping: In his free time he's an avid Squash player.
