Bontenmaru

Masamune Date's right eye was said to have a mystic power. After Bontenmaru was born, this boy with a special right eye was considered the destined successor of Masamune's will. Everyone who looked into his right eye would feel like they had nowhere to hide.

Fearless and courageous, Bontenmaru grew up under the family's careful education and high expectations. He believed he would become someone who could make the Date family great again.

However, Bontenmaru never bested his good friend, Sachiko. Not even once.

Before Bontenmaru could grow into an adult, the Date family was pulled into a crisis of life and death. To grasp the power of the future in his hand, the 3rd generation leader of Tobunkai gathered a large group of young people to train them into Radiants and held a compulsory internal contest that would decide the status of the children's families.

At that critical moment, Bontenmaru stood out and fought for his family. And it was exactly in that tourney, Bontenmaru became the true successor of Masamune Date...

Thanks to Bontenmaru's awakening, the Date family survived the tourney. But Bontenmaru knew the weakness of his household, as well as how powerful the 3rd generation leader was. Apart from standing their ground, his family must find an ally.

Bontenmaru chose Maki. Both her status and belief made her the perfect ally of the Date family. Meanwhile, Bontenmaru's resolution and courage were also recognized by Maki. She believed that one day he would become a valuable and powerful friend.

Masamune Date was said to be injured in his right eye when he was young. The truth was, one day, his right pupil suddenly disappeared and left a white eyeball. His mother thought it was the devil's eye and became cold toward him. However, a mysterious monk visited the Date family with a lens one day. He told Masamune that the lens was the pupil that had escaped from him, and it contained the power from another world. It's time for him to reclaim that power.

After placing the lens back to where it had been, a colorful, chromatic pupil reappeared in Masamune's right eye.

After Bontenmaru was born, he was recognized as the successor of Masamune Date because his right pupil was a round-shaped lens. However, Bontenmaru's power did not awaken.

The drastic changes inside the Tobunkai didn't make the life of the Date family easier. After making up his mind to follow Maki, Bontenmaru joined the internal tourney and fully awakened his potential in the battle against Chiyo.

Bontenmaru activated the lens in his right eye and became a Radiant. He also calmed the victory of that fight.
