 * 4) He refuses to give up on a challenge, no matter how many odds are stacked against him.
 * 5) He views his friends as his family and would do anything to protect them.
 * 6) He has tremendous character growth, as he went from an angry teenager with a chip on his shoulder to fight for the sake of fighting to an altruistic savior of humanity with a stronger sense of purpose and willpower.

 * 7) He is not only not afraid to battle against demons, but also to stand up to corrupt authority figures at his school like Iwamoto.
