Hajime Saitoh
Alias:
Mibu no Ookami (Wolf of Mibu)
Looks:
Severe. He's reasonably tall, with slicked-back
black hair (except one or two bangs), and
finely-boned. Usually dressed in policeman outfit or
the Shinsengumi typic robes (add a long ponytail in
that case). Permanently serious or smirking, usually
has a cigarette handy (take this in consideration if
you have weak lungs like me).
Brains:
Impressive. He's a superb spy (former Shinsengumi
captain), current agent of the Meiji government, so
the Wolf must constantly sharpen his fangs to
survive in this muddy area. Extremely cunning, knows
how to talk to people and comes with good plans on
pinches. Far one of the most intelligent guys in RK
along with Shishi-o or Enishi.
Personality:
Mostly ruthless, Saitou-san has his own code of
justice and acting, adapting it to the
circumstances. Unless Kenshin, he's ready to kill
the ones who refuse to see the way, by his code of
Aku.Zoku.Zan (Kill Evil Instantly). May show a
slightly softer side to persons like Okita-kun,
Tokio or his daughters.
Cooking
- Home Economics:
It's suggested that he's pretty much a liker of
order and cleaning, as a good policeman is. Noted?
Fighting
skills:
Master of the ultra-fast and ultra-strong Gatotsu
technique, whose full potential wasn't shown in the
anime (duh!!). In the manga, when fighting Usui,
Saitou didn't impale him like in the TV series: he
RIPPED the guy's body in TWO, and impale the UPPER
part. I couldn't believe it when I saw the scan.
Even Kenshin had to see Gods to defeat Saitou.
Special
abilities:
No magical or superhuman ones (Thank god, some say).
I'll count his coolness everywhere, and how the hell
did he survive when Houji destructed the arena where
Shishio and Kenshin fought?
Competiton:
Sorry gals. Saitou is MARRIED, for crying it loud!
In Kenshin's words: "She's gotta be a goddess
if she's married to HIM". Though she never
appears in RK itself, in the fics Takagi Tokio is
portrayed as a woman of a will as strong as her
husband's, silk glove over the iron hand. So I don't
think he'll be willing to leave Tokio-san for a girl
he barely knows.
In-Laws:
None is known about Saitou's real family aside of
Tokio. Maybe Okita-kun, his loyal assistant, could
count as a sort of younger brother, but it's only a
possibility.
Sex:
Like Catherine Bloom said in the MP for Dorothy
Catalonia, "He's the one who's gonna be in
charge". Saitou would try to give a new meaning
to the use of "handcuffs", in example, so
he'll be mostly in control of the sexual encounters
from the start to the end. Maybe he'll test your
stamina and imagination to their extremes, too.
Overall:
Avoid this man if you're not likely to put up with
Saitou's dominant personality, or may doubt at a
difficult situation. The Wolf of Miburo isn't much
willing to be tamed by a porcelain doll. If you
think that you have the requirements (or think
you're a Goddess ^^), no one should stop you,
ladies. But even if you do have them, be warned that
Saitou may be 70% of time far away from you, in his
mission to make the bad guys see how sharp his teeth
are, by his favorite phrase: Aku.Zoku.Zan.
