Summary[]
Minamoto no Yorimitsu (or simply, the Man) is the leader of the Blue Lane. He fights Satoshi after his underling, Amane, takes Sakura hostage, leading to the two having a showdown that results in Satoshi nearly dying. Despite this, Amane betrays him, leading to the Man slicing his underling's arm off and committing suicide by forcing the entire area to explode.
He is eventually reanimated in the Red Lane to help fight against the leader of the Red Lane, Empress Wu of Zetian where he fights her off without much effort.
2 years later, he helped Satoshi fight against the Green Lane in the form of fighting against the Family Head who sacrificed himself to summon the Bakunawa, leading to all sides convening to attack it and the Family Head. Eventually, they all managed to take down the Bakunawa, leading to the Family Head killing himself.
1 year after that, he helped fight against the Devil briefly only to be possessed and fight Satoshi himself. After a long battle, he would eventually be knocked out of his possessed state once the Devil himself, leading to the Man to accept that Satoshi was superior to him, with this leading to him and Satoshi's other allies being returned to the land of the Dead.

Standard Tactics: Minamoto typically defeats his opponent with immense speed and even when against opponents at the same level of attack power and speed, he always comes out on top, typically by slicing their head off as he also usually fights for the kill, rarely if ever sitting idly by. Against opponents with more abilities than him such as those of the Purple Lane, Thomas Fujiwara or Damian Alanis, he quickly dismantled them, threatening to kill them with ease. He rarely uses the Shadow Sword but when he does, he usually decimates the opponent with immense speed and precision.
Standard Equipment: The Dōjikiri Yasutsuna and Shadow Sword (very rarely). The Dōjigiri (童子切, "Slayer of Shuten-dōji") is a tachi-type Japanese sword that has been identified as a National Treasure of Japan. This sword is one of the "Five Swords Under Heaven" (天下五剣 Tenka-Goken). Dōjigiri is sometimes called "the yokozuna of all Japanese swords" along with Ōkanehira (ja:大包平) because of its perfection; it is of great historical value as one of the oldest extant katana-type weapons. The quality and the artistic value of the blade is exquisite, it has been kept in good preservation, and the legend tied to the sword is notable.
The Shadow Sword (Tula Harba) is a broadsword with an eye in the middle. It allows him to absorb and control Mana, teleport, create rituals, absorb virtually anything and summon the World of Darkness at will alongside Existence Erasure and true Durability Negation. He can do things like wrap it in Mana, absorb energy, revive the dead. He can also use both weapons simultaneously.
Weaknesses: He can be manipulated and possessed. | None Notable with the Shadow Sword or in his true form
