"I am Jei, the Blade of the Gods."

Jei is a dark enemy of Miyamoto Usagi, who claims that he was sent by the gods to eliminate evil, and intends to kill anyone he believes has evil in their heart.

History

Yojimbo

Jei is first seen just after he murdered a family with Miyamoto Usagi as witness. Usagi berates Jei on how he could do something like that, calling him insane and a demon. Jei claims that his actions were justified, saying that they were infected with evil and the gods revealed their nature to him. As Usagi and Jei do battle, Jei continues to claim that the gods gave him his skill to cleanse this realm of evil, to which Usagi replies that he is the evil one. Just before Jei strikes him down, Usagi asks him who he is, to which he replies "I am Jei, the Blade of the Gods" and then disappears as he is stuck by lightning. He later appears in his own dwelling mystically watching Usagi as he is escorting Kintaro to the temple palace, believing that the gods have brought Usagi to him again. He decided he needed great warriors to destroy him, and thus performed a magical chant that summoned the Ninja Turtles from across the realms. Jei played a victim saying that Usagi attacked them to get close enough to hypnotize them. He then orders them to hunt down and destroy Miyamoto Usagi, but leave the boy he travels with unharmed, to which the turtles comply.

Personality

Jei is a samurai who believes that he was chosen by the gods as an emissary, to smite evil and execute sinners. However, in his delusions, Jei perceives nearly everyone to be a sinner and has the tendency of killing anyone who draws his attention. While he is capable of acting normally, once in the throes of his madness almost anyone within sight is marked for death. Because of his brutal rampages, most (including Usagi) do not consider him an emissary of the gods, but under demonic possession, or simply insane.

Abilities

Whether or not he still has his mental faculties, Jei does possess some supernatural power.

• Dark Magic: Jei has variety of supernatural abilities to conjure spells, and can perform feats such as being able to see his enemy's location just by looking into a bowl of water, and summon beings from other realms, such as the Ninja Turtles.
• Hypnotism: Jei can also hypnotize others to his bidding, but only by looking directly into his soulless eyes. Which is why usually accomplishes this by pretending to be a desperate old man asking for help to get close enough to their eyes. He was able to forge his own army this way and even temporarily brainwashed the turtles to do his bidding.
