Hajime Nagumo

Hajime Nagumo (ハジメ), nicknamed by his classmates as God Slaying Demon King (神殺しの魔王, Kami-goroshi no maō), is the main protagonist of the Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou series. He is a former member of the Hero Party. He is the leader of his own party

After being called incompetent and betrayed by one of his classmates, Hajime falls into the abyss where his journey to become the strongest begins when consumed the monsters' meat and turned into a monster himself but nonetheless turn into a ruthless murderer.

Appearance
In the beginning of the story, Hajime had black hair, brown eyes, and a slim body type. He also had a kind face and attitude. After falling into the abyss and eating the twin-tailed wolf monster, his body began to wither away. After he drank the ambrosia in the abyss to counter the effects of the monster meat, his body began to heal and grow stronger in the process. Due to the stress of this repeated revitalization, his hair turned white, a condition called. His eyes also turned red and his body gained tattoo-like red veins and as well as his normal red blood cells turn into a purple spiked blood cells, a sign of becoming a demonic monster. These red marks also grant Hajime the ability to use magic without needing to use chants or incantations. He also grew 10 cm in height and gained a muscular, toned figure. The huge change in his appearance (along with his personality and abilities) made it difficult for those who knew Hajime before to recognize him at first, only recognizing him because of his voice and facial features (and that's only after taking a closer look).

Shorty after falling into the abyss, Hajime lost his left arm to the Claw Bear on the first floor. He would later lose his right eye during his battle against the Hydra. After completing the Great Orcus Labyrinth and gaining creation magic, Hajime would replace them with a mechanical arm and an artifact called the Demon Eye, respectively.

Hajime's adventure outfit consists of a black coat with crimson lining as well as a grey blazer and a white shirt underneath it with a cravat tied around his neck. He wears black pants that have gun holsters attached to them as well as black boots.

After he returned to Earth, Hajime's hair and eyes reverted back to their original color due to Kaori's restoration magic. He decides, however, to keep his mechanical arm and demon eye, which are disguised to look like his original arm and eye to keep his secret from the general public.

Personality
"I'll protect you, and you'll protect me. As long as we watch each other's backs, we'll be stronger than anyone. We'll beat down anyone who stands against us and burst our way out of this shitty world!"

- Hajime to Yue Hajime was originally a weak and average person with a timid and tolerant personality but with an extremely kind and gentle heart. While mild-mannered, he has a special type of bravery and strength of heart that would allow him to sacrifice his own dignity and well-being to protect a child from harm. Kaori noted that it would be easy to be a hero to fight against evil if one were already strong, but it takes true strength to go against evil if one knows that they are weak. His strength of heart is evident by his ability to keep calm when his class faced perilous dangers from a Behemoth, while Kouki had momentarily stood paralyzed by fear until being snapped out of it by Hajime. He had a Motto of "Hobbies First" and would put his hobbies over everything else despite ridicule by his peers. He was also considered mature.

After the betrayal of a classmate and falling in into an abyss, Hajime begins his descent to madness. The fear of dying and the pain of losing his arm coupled with days of starvation pushed him over the edge. His iron forged will to survive made him extremely ruthless, uncaring and sadistic and capable of killing any person who wants to cause him misfortune or get in his way, he outright stated that he will mass murder all the Humans and Demons and even destroy Tortus itself if he had to and will show absolutely no mercy even towards his own classmates if they dared to cross him which he later proved by ruthlessly brutalizing Daisuke Hiyama for attempting to make Kaori his undead sex slave in front of them and had no qualms about letting monsters devour him alive, an act that traumatized most of them and made them truly terrified of Hajime despite the fact he had saved them from Eri's death trap, even Shizuku and Aiko acknowledged that they will be slaughtered by Hajime if they were to attack him at the instigation of Heiligh Kingdom and the Holy Church. He would also smile in front of danger which made Shea call him a new species of monster called "Predator". He may be merciless, but he deeply cares for his comrades which is the last and only fragment of his lost kindness. As the series progresses, Hajime eventually does prove himself willing to help the helpless, particularly if his companions coax him into it, though he continues to demonstrate a cold demeanor. His methods, however, are usually pragmatic, frequently to the point of brutality, and he is stubbornly resistant to guilt trips and appeals to his moral compass, as Kouki repeatedly encounters, and refuses to acknowledge.

Due to the hardships he had suffered, Hajime developed a firm belief in independence of relying on one's own abilities to solve personal problems and overcoming obstacles independently as he had to in order to escape the Orcus Dungeon when all of his classmates with the exception of Kaori believed he was already dead. Thus, when he was safe guarding Shea's family and clansmen, Hajime opted to train the Haulia Rabbitmen so that they can learn to be strong enough to protect themselves rather than continuing to protect them himself for an indefinite period. Due to this newfound belief of independence, Hajime absolutely refused to do anything about Ehit's manipulation of the people of Tortus, stating to Miledi that it is their own problem to solve and he has no intention of risking his life for their well being as she and her fellow Liberators had as well as outright refusing Chase's attempts to persuade him to rejoin them or at least teach the Heiligh Kingdom's Synergists how to manufacture firearms to aid them in their war efforts. In Volume 6, when Kouki stated Hajime could convince him of Ehit's true nature as an Evil God by thoroughly explaining it several times, Hajime simply called Kouki stupid, fiercely criticizing him and his other classmate's delusional and naive beliefs that he himself must always risk life and limb to protect and help them simply because they are classmates, stating that because they keep holding onto such ridiculous idealistic thinking is what had allowed Eri and Hiyama to backstab them, nearly leading to their own deaths and also becoming zombified into Eri's undead puppets as Meld and Kondou had been. Hajime also told Shizuku to stop being so protective of Kouki, Ryuutaro and Suzu in the Shunee Great Labyrinth as they must learn to overcome their own trials by themselves in order to attain Age of God's Magic to realize their respective goals.

Hajime also believed it is a strong resolve and determination that allows one to realize their goals rather than power and abilities as which Hajime has proven when he, who was despised by the Holy Church, Heiligh Kingdom and his classmates as a completely useless weakling was able to achieve the extremely difficult feat of conquering the Orcus Great Labyrinth as well as Aiko, who without any combat experience had managed to conquer the Divine Mountain Labyrinth after she had resolved to help Tio fight against the Holy Church for the sake of her students and later Shizuku as well as Ryuutaro and Suzu who had managed to conquer both the Haltina Great Labyrinth and the Shunee Great Labyrinth despite the latter two's initial failure in the Haltina Labyrinth. Therefore, when Kouki questioned Hajime's refusal to defeat Ehit and save Tortus, Hajime took the chance to criticize Kouki's weak resolve and will in his naive idealism by correctly pointing out that despite being blessed by Ehit as the strongest out of his classmates at the beginning, he keeps screwing up during desperate moments when it is truly important due to his indecisiveness such as Cattelya's ambush and Eri's death trap.

During the Shunee Great Labyrinth, it's revealed that he has some doubts over whether or not he can live in Japan due to how strong he became and was scared of being referred to as a monster. Unlike other's who fall victim to the labyrinths doubt inducing traps, Hajime is able to endure the psychological torment.

As Kaori and Shizuku noted, despite his new found strength, confidence and courage, Hajime is always desperate to protect his comrades and to fight against any potential dangers that may befall him, a trait he has carried even before his fall into the Orcus Dungeon. Hajime is immensely cautious in all matters he handles, willing to take any possible precaution necessary to prevent even the slightest disadvantages from happening such as his absolute refusal to part with his technomagical firearms and artillery as shown in Volume 3 when More Nos wanted to buy his weapons or when Chase tried to persuade him to help the Heligh Kingdom mass produced firearms for their war due to knowing that with Ehit's absolute influence over the people of Tortus, giving up his weapons to the Holy Church and Heiligh Kingdom is an extremely risky mistake as he knows that they will all eventually become his enemies since Hajime is the only one who has learnt about Ehit's true nature and will definitely try to thwart his journey to return home by manipulating his worshippers to turn against him. Hajime even went as far as to give Chase a death threat if he ever tried to steal Donner for the Heiligh Kingdom Synergists to reverse engineer and mass produce it much to the shock of Aiko and his classmates who were present. Hajime also took the opportunity to tell Aiko of what he learnt about Ehit in order to warn her firsthand and also to gain her help and support in warning his other classmates about it to minimize the chances of his classmates turning against him under Ehit's manipulation knowing that Aiko's popularity with her students will allow her to have a better chance at convincing them. Hajime also reluctantly agreed to Kouki's party members requests in supporting them to gain Age of God's Magic as a precaution in case he needed their help to fight against more of Ehit's Apostles. Hajime also admitted to Shizuku that he preferred resolving problems early rather than at the last minute before it went out of control, also lamenting that Kaori's murder and nearly becoming an undead slave by Hiyama's hands was traumatizing even for himself.

Though he is usually cold towards people he meets, he is not above showing respect and behaving courteously towards people he finds interesting. While he usually scoffs at figures in positions of authority and power, he is shown to express respect to authority figures that are competent, cunning and who are willing to help others such as Catherine, Ilwa Chang and Lanzwi Feuward Zengen.

Hajime has no tolerance for empty idealism, emotional weaknesses or cowardice when Kouki Amanogawa (the strongest member of the Hero Party) allowed his indecisiveness to nearly getting himself and his party killed such as when Cattleya attacked the Hero Party and called Kouki's ideals to be naive, delusional and stupid as his expectations that fellow classmates are always obligated to help and protect each other which only enabled Daisuke and Eri to betray the Hero Party without even noticing. After Kaori join Hajime's party, he called Daisuke Hiyama and his gang worthless and weak when they feigned an apology to obtain forgiveness from Hajime and Hajime was already aware of Hiyama's betrayal which is his greatest fear. While beating up Daisuke, Hajime mocked his former bully when he called him a weak, selfish bully and a real loser when Daisuke blamed Hajime for receiving Kaori Shirasaki's affections. After murdering Hiyama, Hajime revealed to his former classmates of Hiyama's manipulation when he called him a selfish, despicable traitor. When Freid held Remia and Myu hostage, Hajime told the demon commander that he is a fool when Freid underestimated Hajime by previously attempting to used the Heiligh Kingdom and his classmates as hostage which Hajime coldly respond by casually massacred Freid's 100,000 troops.

Despite once being human, Hajime is a completely merciless murderer who doesn't spare his enemies no matter how they beg him even if anyone tries to convince him as he unleashed a massacre upon both human and demon worshipers of Ehit, killing off Ishtar and the bishops of the Holy Church and Freid's army during the war in Heiligh Kingdom when they attempted to attack him in the name of their religious worship for Ehit only for them to got themselves killed. As a former member of the so-called "Hero Party" who had learned of Ehit's true nature, he does not take orders from his former classmates (such as Kouki Amanogawa) as he has become powerful enough to survive on his own without the need to rely on them and has no superiors, as he ignored Kouki's pleas as he coldly murdered Cattleya. He gave his former classmates a warning that he will kill them if they dare to get in his way for any reasons such as morality which causing them to be terrified of him even his former bullies are shaken and scared as most of them (with the exception of Kouki) takes this warning seriously as they were terrified of his wrath and tried not to provoke him as they doesn't want to die by Hajime's hands, begrudgingly agreed with his realistic criticism of how their naivety and careless optimism had nearly cost them their lives by Eri and Hiyama's hands. Hajime considered sparing enemies are weaknesses, foolishness and mistakes for allowing enemies to defeat them or come back for vengeance when Kouki allowed his weaknesses to get a hold of him and letting Cattleya defeat him due to enemies will not feel for them. Hajime will also murder anyone who lays a single finger on or harms his comrades (harem) as well to proved his previous warning such as Hiyama as Hajime brutalized Hiyama and fed him to the monsters alive for his treachery after he temporarily murdered Kaori making this brutal murder as a proven example for his previous warning for those who still dares to cross him such as Kouki who had initally did not take Hajime's warning seriously. Despite being merciless, He spared Kouki for Kaori and Shizuku's sake by knocking Kouki out unconscious but kept his warning.

Hajime is disinterested in challenges from those who are weaker than him when they go up against him such as Kouki Amanogawa when he challenged Hajime into an unarmed duel for his try to take Hajime's harems only for Hajime to easily defeating and humiliating Kouki by tossing him into a pitfall filled with non-lethal bombs. He has no concern for vengeance as he viewed himself as more powerful than his now useless classmates but only get vengeance by avenging one of his harems supposedly death by killing their temporarily murderer like he did to Hiyama. Hajime will never give his guns to the like of weaklings such as Yukitoshi Shimizu. Being sadistic, He mocked and provoked his enemies to lead them straight to their downfalls after he murdered Cattleya, Noint, Hiyama, Alv and Ehit. After returning to Japan, Hajime can easily pulverize anyone who dares challenge him and leave his victims to be humiliated such as the so-called "Soul Sisters" and the students of the Yaegashi Dojo who are an annoyance to one of his wives, Shizuku.

Due to his new wild appearance, Hajime is very attractive to beautiful girls including Kaori and Shizuku. He is extremely more popular to girls more than Kouki as Hajime ended up winning their hearts while Kouki lost his attractions from girls due to his delusional justice and lack of resolve.

Hajime held immense love for his family, having an unbreakable bond with his parents Shuu and Sumire, having also become an Otaku mainly due to their influence. Their last message to Hajime before he was summoned to Tortus is encouraging him to return home safely back to their side at all cost, even if it means abandoning his virtues and morality, regardless of what mistakes he must make in the process of doing so, they will still forgive him is what drives Hajime's resolve to survive and conquer the Great Orcus Labyrinth as Hajime himself stated he would have given into despair and die had it not been for Shuu and Sumire. The main reason why Hajime refused to find and defeat Ehit to saved Tortus from the Evil God's malice is simply to go home and reunite with his parents which Shizuku had noted to Kouki, as all the painstaking efforts Hajime had spent to attain his current immense power from withstanding the agony of eating monsters to risking his life conquering the trials of the Great Labyrinths for Ancient Magic was solely for the sake of his family including the women of his harem. While Hajime is usually blunt and cold to most people after his transformation and is not above expressing his annoyance with even those close to him, he is very spoiling towards his family as he would flirt with Yue and later his other wives without concern for his surroundings. Despite Hajime being against Myu calling him Papa, he quickly became a doting and overprotective father to her. Initially, Hajime had eyes only for Yue alone, eventually he began to also gradually reciporate the love of the other women of his harem such as Shea, Kaori, Tio and Shizuku though he acted neutral at first as he is willing to take Shea on a date in Volume 4 despite having not officially accepted her as his second girlfriend to make her happy and in Volume 8 was willing to postpone the conquest of the Haltina Labyrinth due to her worries for her father Cam and the other Haulia rabbitmen whom were captured by the Hoelscher Empire, and ultimately helped the Haulia tribe in liberating all of the enslaved Beastmen solely for Shea's sake. At Kaori's request, Hajime also assist her in helping the Dukedom of Ankaji from their plague. When Kaori was possessed by an evil spirit in the Melusine Labyrinth, Hajime threatened to show the worst torments to the spirit for hurting Kaori, likewise when Kaori was murdered by Hiyama and nearly zombified by Eri into Hiyama's undead sex slave. Hajime was silently filled with immense rage, as he brutalize Hiyama and thrown him to be eaten alive by monsters and threaten Eri with tremendous fear and despair from a full blast Intimidation, being prepared to coldly execute her with a headshot had it not been for Hiyama and later Fried's interference. Hajime generously used his limited Ambrosia's supply to heal both Kouki and also Shizuku in Volume 9 and also saved Lilianna from being raped by Baius due to Kaori's close friendship with the latter three and also agreed to Suzu's request to give Eri a chance for redemption due to Kaori also pleading him to do so. Hajime also sympathized with Tio's desire for vengeance against Ehit for the deaths of her parents and fellow Clansmen in past and offered to help Tio fight and slay Ehit to realize her clan's dream for Ehit's downfall despite his initial absolute refusal to do so. Stemming from his love for his wives, Hajime is very respectful to almost all of his family-in-laws, being more respectful and patient than how he is with his own birth parents, using polite language when talking with them.

Hajime hates being annoyed by anyone whom he viewed as stupid, idiots, fools, delusional and worthless. He got extremely annoyed by Kouki's delusional idiotic ideals over and over again when Kouki even annoyed Hajime's party (harem) and caused Myu to cry to the point Hajime can't be bothered to take Kouki's self righteous challenge for Kaori and his harem, simply drop him into a pitfall filled with non lethal bombs to spite and humiliating Kouki for his insolence of trying to take Hajime's harems. He got annoyed by David Zahler as far as he shot him to tell him to mind his own manners. He got bothered by Tio's perversions as he initially threatened to kill her. Hajime has enough with Hiyama's bragging after Hajime gotten Kaori Shirasaki's affection as he was done talking with him and put him out of his misery by feeding him to the monsters. He got further annoyed by Shinji Nakano and Yoshiki Saitou despite of their proper respects. Hajime got quickly annoyed by the students of the Yaegashi dojo when they tried to attack him every time he visited only for Hajime to beaten them all up with no efforts. Hajime got highly annoyed by the so called "Soul Sisters" for try to break him up with Shizuku even trying to destroy the wedding photo shoot until he bullied them by grabbing one of them by the neck to force her to drink his laxative before tying up her ponytail hair even using a permanent marker on her face and completely humiliated the "Soul Sisters" in public.

In spite of his ruthlessness and being a murderer, Hajime is still honorable. He cares deeply for his companions including Kaori when he was forced to admit that he loves her. He allowed Kaori (his lover/future wife during in middle school) to join his party. Hajime will never let anyone to take his harems or who dares to lay a single finger on them as he is protecting them as he have done everything for them to become happy. After murdering Hiyama, Hajime gave his former classmates another chance to join him in clearing the remaining Labyrinths and to kill Ehit due to Suzu Taniguchi, Shizuku Yaegashi and Ryuutarou Sakagami's sincere pleas but kept his warning. Hajime was generous enough to offer his classmates with new enhancements to their equipment caused them to rush over to him as they had their weapons and equipment upgraded. Hajime even gifted his greatest masterpieces to Shea (Drucken), Shizuku (Blade Blade) and Suzu (Twin Iron Fans). He was willing to bring his former classmates back with him to Japan after clearing the labyrinth and killed Ehit.

One other trait that remains unchanged about Hajime is that he still remains an Otaku, something that Kaori points out. Hajime bases most of his creations and even his appearance off of things from animes, manga, and video games. He's even gone out of his way to create massive and extremely difficult to make Artifacts simply because it would be cooler. Hajime feels very self-conscious about this as he's fully aware it's all true. Being a Synergist at heart as well, Hajime can become so passionate about what he decides to make that he won't stop or compromise until he finishes what he started, which has only worsened after returning to Earth. This has led him to go overboard on more than one project and add many pointless but cool features to his Artifacts, even sometimes creating powerful Artifacts that are simply meant to be cool.

Due to his Otaku nature, Hajime has several fetishes that can cause him to become aroused and excited. He has a strong preference to beast-girls especially bunny girls as seen when he was learning about the various races of Tortus as he lamented the harsh conditions that the beastmen were forced to endure. Even after his transformation in Orcus, he still retains this preference which is shown when he starts fondling Shea's bunny ears and this habit grows much more, especially after Shea becomes his lover. He also has a fondness of maids as was seen when he became excited and nearly ogled a Heiligh Kingdom royal maid after she served him a drink. It was due to his obsession with maids that he attempted to inherit Oscar Orcus's will of creating a maid golem, which he succeeded by creating Freesia, a human-shaped Grim Reaper. Due to his maid fetish, he created the Fleur Knights, a group of combat maids which consisted of beautiful women which he trained.

Physical Abilities

 * Mystical Mutation - In the Great Orcus Labyrinth, Hajime devours numerous powerful Demonic Beasts, manages to survive the lethal process due to the Ambrosia and his iron forged will. As a result, Hajime's constitution was mutated by the magic of the monster granting him a tremendously high status, even breaking pass the level 100 limit.
 * Immense Strength - After continuously devouring many powerful Demonic Beasts, by the end of conquering the Orcus Labyrinth, Hajime gained tremendous superhuman physical power that is completely monstrous, his base Strength being twelve times powerful than Kouki who is Ehit's strongest hero, surpassing even Tio the strongest Dragonman in her dragon form, able to carry his oversized Pile Bunker or heavy artillery such as Orkan with little effort. Even without resorting to weapons, he can overpower the strongest humans, beastmen, and monsters with pure physical might, blocking a zombified Meld's swordsmanship who was the strongest Knight of Heiligh Kingdom with only one finger, throwing small harmless objects such as sugar cubes with extreme force to knock down knights. Hajime can easily break bones and strike with enough force to rupture his enemies' internal organs even Humans who were blessed by Ehit with enhanced physical power such as when Hajime broken almost all of Hiyama's bones and damaging his internal organs severely as he brutally beaten Hiyama up and gripped his neck to lift up the latter with only one hand. In the Schnee Labyrinth, Hajime overpowered a Limit Break enhanced Kouki without even using his full strength, bypassing the enhanced protection of Kouki's Limit Break enhanced durability, Physical Resistance Skill and Divine Armour which is the strongest armour type Artifact sending him crashing into an ice wall with one kick pulverizing it and instantly defeated him. After killing Ehit and his servant, Alv, Hajime now holds the power to kill gods or immortal beings with his newly reputation as the "God Slaying Demon King". Hajime can easily defeat weaker enemies with just one hit even in large numbers such as Yaegashi Family's Dojo's students and bullied the Soul Sisters both groups who are annoying to his wife, Shizuku Yaegashi. Hajime has carried anyone without even getting exhausted when carried Yue and Shizuku (while she was tired).
 * Immense Speed - Hajime's speed and reflexes are also augmented to be extremely formidable, his Agility being at least twelve times greater than Shizuku, supplemented with his speed-oriented skills, making it impossible for most enemies to detect his movements in battle. Even his overpowered classmates such as Kouki, couldn't so much as sense Hajime's movements.
 * Immense Durability - Hajime has gained superhuman physical durability, capable of withstanding attacks that would prove fatal for most people. He didn't receive any sort of injuries from feeble attacks such as Cattleya's most powerful attack, Kouki Amanogawa's attacks and Daisuke Hiyama's fireball as his body acts like armor. When using his defensive abilities, Hajime's body becomes strong enough to handle attacks from one of God Apostle while only receiving minor injuries.
 * Immense Endurance - Due to his countless brutal experiences in the Orcus Labyrinth from the agony of consuming monsters to withstanding numerous life threatening injuries from fighting all the powerful monsters, Hajime has attained tremendous tolerance to grievous pain. Augmented with his mystically mutated vitality and defense status, Hajime can withstand most attacks with only minimal discomfort.
 * Enhanced Senses - After continuously devouring many different types of monsters throughout Orcus Labyrinth, Hajime has developed superhuman senses. From having to fight different types of enemies that could completely hide their presence throughout Orcus Labyrinth, Hajime has honed his senses to the point where he can easily notice things before almost everyone else, with only Shea having better hearing due to her long ears.
 * Immense Mana - After continuously devouring many powerful monsters throughout Orcus Dungeon, Hajime's mana developed to extremely powerful and massive levels, far surpassing Atavists such as Yue, Shea and Tio, all of whom have powerful mana themselves. His original sky blue mana changing to crimson color. When he releases his mana, its powerful enough to block the immense mana pressure released from Noint, God Apostle, protecting Aiko who was about to fall unconscious. When enraged, he was able to cause all his classmates, who had overpowered cheat abilities to freeze in sheer terror. His mana capacity and regeneration are vast enough for him to operate the "Fenrir" flying craft, which consumes an immense amount of mana to travel between locations.
 * Genius Intellect - While his intellectual ability in academic studies is average, Hajime has proven himself to be an extremely clever genius in engineering. He has immense scientific knowledge which was self-taught from manga, anime, movies and video games. Hajime's intuition is also extremely accurate and spot on, as he was able to correctly deduce that one of his classmates is purposely responsible for the misfired fireball that led to his fall into the deepest depths of the Orcus Dungeon and the reason being jealousy towards Kaori's infatuation towards himself and would also commit any horrific atrocities to force Kaori to become his sex slave when Hajime warned Aiko about it. He would later be proven correct when Hiyama had assisted Eri in massacring and zombified all the Knights of Heligh Kingdom and also the death trap for their classmates and even murdered Kaori herself in order to make her his personal undead sex slave, a fact which even the extremely sharp minded Shizuku had noticed only when it was too late. Hajime was also the first to noticed that the Humans and Demons of Tortus were actually worshiping the same Evil God Ehit, who is actually posing as two different gods in order to manipulate the two race into fighting and killing each other for millienias after learning about Ehit's callous apathy towards the destruction of the Heligh Kingdom, who were supposed to be his most faithful worshippers, from Noint and that Ehit would send even more Apostles after him. This would be proven when Hajime succeeded in slaying Noint and stopping Freid Bagwa's invasion of the Heligh Kingdom, Ehit send five hundred Apostles to support the Demons as reinforcements to not completely annihilate the Humans who were Ehit's worshipers but also to eliminate Hajime. Hajime has also shown to be an acute judge of character, as he noticed the real reason why Tio joined his party was because she was hoping to uses him in her revenge against the gods, something the others only realize after she confessed it herself. Hajime also chose to confide in his teacher Aiko about the true reason of his refusal to rejoin them by telling her the secret he learnt from Oscar about Ehit's true nature as a twisted Evil God as he fully understands that Aiko who is extremely devoted to her students will absolutely believed his words as he is also one of her students whom she prioritized above all else and later Kaori since she held immense love towards Hajime will also believed him. When Kouki questioned why he had not told them about Ehit's true nature earlier when they reunited in the Orcus Dungeon, Hajime stated that Kouki will never want to believed him by elaborately pointing out his misguided sense of justice, inability to differenate between good and evil and most of all his habit of conveniently twisting and interpreting things to fit his worldview and will even get angry at him for seemingly slandering the god who had chose him to be the Hero, a statement which even Kouki himself could not deny.
 * Master Inventor - Hajime is an extremely resourceful and innovative inventor, combining his scientific knowledge learned from countless manga, anime, and movies with his transmutation skill to create various powerful technomagical weapons and other advanced magic-powered machinery. Hajime has shown to be an extraordinarily talented firearms designer, having managed to make firearms and artillery with unique customizations such as Donner & Schlag break action revolvers designed for mid-air reloading customized with make-shift swing out cylinders to incorporate the greater firepower of swing out revolvers, incorporating shotguns into Oscar's magical prosthetic arm artifact as well as Shea's Drucken War Hammer, modified the new Schlagen anti material rifle to function as a sniper rifle by mounting a telescopic scope to shoot from long distances, designed Metzelei as a handheld portable Gatling Gun. Hajime is also a self taught genius in vehicle engineering, having designed Steiff motorcycle, Brise pick up truck, a submarine and most of all Fenrir airship.
 * Master Craftsman: Hajime has trained his craftsmanship as a Synergist to uttermost perfection, due to his earliest attempts to create modern firearms which are extremely difficult to create in comparison to swords and armors, eventually succeed after countless trial and error. With unrivaled precision and dexterity in his craftsmanship, Hajime became an outstanding master gunsmith. Combined with Age of God's creation magic, Hajime can create technomagical artillery of tremendous power. In addition to guns, Hajime can also apply his skills into crafting melee weapons of the highest quality including refining them to be much more powerful as well as perfectly repair ancient artifacts. Hajime's masterpieces as a Synergist include his signature revolvers Donner and Schlag, Shizuku Yaegashi's Black Katana, Shea Haulia's Drucken War Hammer, and Suzu Taniguchi's Tessen Folding Fans. He is currently considered the best craftsman on Tortus, so much that all of the Heligh Kingdom's finest Synergists including Volpen wanted Hajime to accept them as his apprentices after appraising his craftsmanship in Shizuku's Black Blade Katana and perfectly restoring the Heligh Kingdom's barrier artifact in a matter of seconds.
 * Master Tactician - Hajime is an extremely pragmatic tactician, relying on unorthodox yet extraordinary strategies allow him to outsmart most enemies including the God Apostle Noint. He managed to come up with a cunning "lie" (which is the truth) that had most humans to turn against the God Ehit. Before his transformation, Hajime make cunning uses of his Transmute ability to first immobilize his target before killing it, something that impressed the knights who didn't expect him to be of much help at the time. This tactic worked even in the true Orcus Labyrinth, where the monsters were stronger and weren't weaken by someone beforehand. During the battle against the Behemoths, Hajime was able to quickly figure out a way to hold it back so his classmates could launch a barrage of magic attack against it when they were ready, which mostly worked if it wasn't for Daisuke trying to kill him. Hajime is good at taking advantage of his environment to his advantage as he often used the terrain to ricochet his bullets so they can hit enemies who are dodging. During his battle with a doppelganger-enhanced Kouki, he was capable of taking advantage of Kouki's collapsed mental state which left his attacks predicable, to easily overwhelm him.
 * Master Marksman - Like Earth's soldiers, Hajime is naturally gifted in in the uses of firearms, having mastered them all on his own while in the abyss. Hajime has outstanding marksmanship in dual wielding his technomagical revolvers, Donner and Schlag to destroy large numbers of powerful enemies in quick succession with deadly accuracy. During his battle against Noint, Hajime was able to aim at a certain point on her swords and repeatedly shot at it during their mid-air, high-speed close-combat fight until her swords snapped. Hajime can also wield his larger, more powerful firearms with equally amazing accuracy, even when he's holding them with one arm each. Hajime can ricochet his bullets off surrounding walls, allowing him to hit targets from their blind spots. He is capable of shooting things without looking at them as was demonstrated when he shot the Frost Eagles that were attacking Shizuku or during his battle with a corrupted Kouki. Hajime's marksman abilities are so immense that Shizuku wondered if Hajime had a secondary Gunner job which granted him such skill.
 * Stealth Expert - Due to his mastery of his "Hide Presence" skill, Hajime is capable of masking and manipulating his presence to avoid detection. He capable easily infiltrating into secure prisons as we demonstrated when he rescued Aiko and later Cam and the other Haulia from their imprisonment.
 * Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant - Having never received any form training before being summoned to Tortus and falling into the abyss, Hajime had self-taught himself how to fight. His fighting style has been regarded as the height of rationality, focusing on effectiveness. Hajime trains extremely extensively to incorporate kicks into his fighting style, which he combines with his monstrous superhuman physical prowess and leg enhancement skills, allowing him to overpower his enemies without any effort.

 * 108 Harassment Demon king-style  - It is one of the harassment styles developed by Hajime after the battle with Ehit in order to deal with problems. There are total 108 harassment styles but only a few of them are revealed so far.

Notable Harassment
The metal dust that had invaded into the body penetrated until inside the blood vessel, shredding the target from inside. If Hajime wanted, he could also use the crow type artifact "Ornis" as relay point to adjust the dust using "Convergence Transmutation", making the metal dust inside the body to react and give intense pain without killing the target. By the way, the crimson light was optional! The metal dust was clad with crimson light, becoming heavy fog that covered the world. The living organism inside that territory would have the inside of their body within the grasp of the demon king, at the same time their right to live or die was also wrestled away from them. "Gag Bullet" even though the impact was terrific, by using regeneration magic the target would be able to stand up again in three seconds as though nothing had happened, it was a bullet to make gag situation in real life. (The classmate's naming → You cannot escape from the demon king-sama!) It was a simple harassment done by simply making several hundreds Cross Velts Laying out super wide range space isolation type barrier. the space in a radius of three kilometers around Hajime as well as until the height of three kilometers was completely isolated. It was first used when the illegal agents of a certain country in earth tried to make a move against the returnees. At that time, Shinji and Yoshiki who carelessly entered the range kept yelling? ''"Let us out~, let us out from here~?" ''while hitting on the invisible wall. With the cooperation of Tio who was the best in using metamorphosis magic, Hajime succeeded in developing the Grim Reaper - Bio Hazard version that he was completely fixated upon. And he released them inside the barrier at that time, so the two's reaction was understandable. The Tyrant was especially popular. To the degree that several people completely lost their SAN value. This harassment is carried out with the help of Bel Agartha, where Hajime would kill the target then revive him with Bel Agartha and then kill him again, repeating this process over and over again until the target surrender himself. It is a small trick carried out by Hajime using space isolation to completely isolate his presence, and amplified presence within isolate space using Coercion, after space Isolation was dispelled. What appeared was a bursting crimson magic power with the Hajime grinning widely at the center. Hajime uses arachnee golems while using telepathy to forcefully make the listener have the experience of something gradually approaching, and amplifying their sense of fear using spirit magic. Harassment Hajime uses by using an artifact that reproduces a pseudo “Divine Statement” by applying and enchanting spirit magic. which makes it's target’s act chūni for a period of time. He pounded countless random Meteor Impacts from outside the stratosphere to attack the target mercilessly. The trajectory and speed of the meteors are adjusted using gravity control, turning all of them into a suitable meteor shower before ending it with a final super giant meteor. It was said that if a mistake was made this harassment could even made the planet totally broken. It brainwashes a person into thinking that they are a pop star. Hajime first uses it against some government agents that try to spy on him. It attaches a rocket to the target and leaves them stranded in the sky while changing their focus into something completely different from before.

He can also further boost his base stats with the help of "Evolution Magic" and by using a mineral supplement drink which he created, named "CheatMate", that has the ability to double a person's base stats.

Quotes

 * (To Ilwa Chang): "A piece of paper can be a good shield if you use it right. My job’s Synergist, you know? My duty is to make sure anything that can be useful is made useful. Don’t worry, I’ll make good use of your support."
 * (To David Zahler after he shot him) "I told you mind your own manners."
 * (To Cattleya about he's human): "No, actually, I'm not."
 * (To Cattleya): "I’ll kill anyone that makes themselves my enemy, even the gods themselves. I can’t imagine someone stuck as their pawn is much of a threat."
 * (To Kouki Amanogawa): God, you're persistent. Amanogawa, you're not mad about me killing her, are you? You're mad at yourself for not being able to kill her and pretending you've got a better reason for being pissed.
 * (To Kouki Amanogawa): It's kill or be killed in this world. You've got to kill your enemies. What's wrong with that?
 * (To Kouki Amanogawa) : "It’s my policy to kill anyone who becomes my enemy. Unless I have a good reason not to, I’ll make sure to kill them. It doesn’t matter whether they’re good or evil, or whether they can resist or not. The moment you show mercy is the moment you die. I learned that the hard way at the bottom of the abyss. Those are just my values though, and I have no intention of pushing them on anyone else. Still, if you plan on standing against me just because you don’t like that, then... Even if you are my former classmates, I won’t show you any mercy."
 * (To Noint): "I’d like to see you try, God’s Puppet!"
 * (To Noint): "Looks like this ‘Irregular’ was more than you could handle."
 * (To Daisuke Hiyama) "Shut up."


 * (To Daisuke Hiyama): "Don’t pin the blame on other people. You’re the one who decided to stoop to this level. Both here and in Japan, you’ve always been the loser. You didn’t lose to other people. You’ve lost to yourself. You never once tried to take responsibility for anything. All you ever did was sit on the sidelines and insult everyone else, when the real loser was always you."
 * (To Daisuke Hiyama)"Let’s test if you can survive or not. Ma~a, it’s probably impossible for you."
 * (To Freid Bagwa after murdered 100,000 demon troops) "The foolish one is you, you big fool. When exactly did I say that I was allied with the Kingdom and these guys here? Don’t just selfishly categorize me with them. If you want a war, then go right ahead. However, if you get in my way just like now, I’ll erase everything. Ma~a, I’m not free enough to waste my time on 1 million opponents though, this time around I’ll let you off so hurry up with the remaining people and get lost. You’re the commander of the army right? "


 * (To Kouki Amanogawa):"If I did told you, will you even believe me!?"
 * (To Kouki Amanogawa):"After all, we are talking about you who love to interpret things to your own convenience. The god Ehit whom the people of this world believed in and also specially chose you to be the Hero was a twisted evil god, and that your heroism efforts are completely meaningless, if I told you that, you definitely wouldn’t have believed me. You will probably get mad at me instead. Am I not wrong!?”
 * (To Kouki Amanogawa and his other classmates): "Are you stupid? Why must I go to such trouble just to suit your delusion? Don't tell me that just because I am a classmate, you all think that it is natural for me to always risked my life and limb to help all of you. If you keep believeing and spouting that sort of ridiculous crap, its gonna end up just like what happened with Hiyama."
 * (To Kouki Amanogawa): "If I have power, I should use it for justice? It’s because you think like that that you always end up messing up when it really matters. Personally, I think power should be wielded with a clear intent. You don’t do something because you have the power to. It’s because you want to do something that you obtain the power necessary to achieve it. If you really think you’re obligated to do things just because you have the strength to, then for you, strength is nothing more than a curse. You lack resolve, Amanogawa. Anyway, I’m not going to argue with you about the path I’ve chosen. If you keep pissing me off I’ll send you flying out of here like I did with Hiyama."
 * (To Kouki Amanogawa):" Listen up, Amanogawa. I don’t care about your justice, and I have no interest in arguing with you about what’s right and wrong. We’re not friends, we’re not comrades, and we definitely don’t believe in the same things, so I have absolutely no intention of doing something just because you say so. All I did was allow you to accompany me for a bit. Don't you dare make me angry. The next time you do something stupid... I’ll break your arms and legs and send you back to the kingdom.”
 * (To Shea Haulia): "You’re irreplaceable to me, Shea. I don’t want to hand you over to anyone else. Now that you’ve become special to me, I won’t ever let you go. I hope you’re ready."
 * (To Kouki Amanogawa): "First, I decide what it is I want. Then, I decide what it is I need to do in order to make that happen. After that, all that’s left is to do it. There’s no point in worrying about whether I can do it or not. If I have time to worry, I have time to think about what my next move should be. I’ve decided. I’m going to back home to Japan with Yue and everyone. I’m going to show them all the cool things Earth has, and introduce them to my parents. That’s what I’m putting my life on the line for. I don’t have time to care about ‘what ifs’ that even my own subconscious doesn’t have the answers to."
 * (To Kouki Amanogawa): "I know better than anyone I’m just putting the problem off instead of solving it, and that this isn’t a very human line of thought to begin with. But that’s still no reason to stop here."
 * (After defeating his doppelganger): "No matter what future’s waiting for me, I won’t stop struggling."
