John Manjirō

Jon Manjirō (ジョン万次郎) is one of the 100 historical figure spirits who resides in the Village of Heroes.

Character History
As part of Argos' machination, a reincarnated John Manjirō lived among the 100 historical figures in harmony within the Village of Heroes on the Island of Eyecons. When Argos' Gamma forces attacked the village, John Manjirō was struck down and reduced to the form of a Ghost Eyecon which was recovered along with the others by Argos. Gathering all 100 heroic Eyecons, Argos used them as a sacrifice along with Darwin's power of evolution to convert Takeru Tenkuji's dead body into a vessel for the ultimate Eyecon, the Extremer Driver, which he intended to use to fulfil his ultimate agenda of converting all life on both Earth and the Gamma World into ghosts. Ultimately, however, Takeru was able to gain the strength of the 100 heroes along with his friend's spirits, allowing him to defeat Argos seemingly at the cost of his own existence only for the 100 heroes to use their power to restore his soul.

While the initial fifteen heroic Eyecons returned to Takeru's side, the whereabouts of John Manjirō and the others following the dissolution of the Island of Eyecons is unknown.

Portrayal
John Manjirō was portrayed by an unidentified actor.
