Zanka Nijiku

Zanka's relationship with the Hell Guard is one of strained history and profound personal conflict. Born into the prestigious Nijiku family, Zanka was originally trained to join the Hell Guard, like the rest of his family. Zanka did initially at the academy, but Zanka's sense of inferiority towards his rival Hyo and meeting Enjin led him join the Cleaners. This is a move that created a significant rift between him and his family, which caused him to be exiled. The Hell Guard's general distrust of "Givers" - individuals who rely on special instruments for power - puts them in direct opposition to Zanka's identity as a powerful Giver and a Cleaner.

Kyouka Nijiku and Goka Nijiku Zanka and his elder siblings have a complicated relationship and are estranged terms with each other. In the past, Kyouka trained Zanka and put his through many tough training methods, such as teaching him how to dodge bullets. His family has high expectations for him and even Goka seems to feel some inferiority towards Zanka, who he viewed having greater talent than him. Kyouka encouraged Goka not to compared himself to Zanka since he isn't flawless and still young, and look after their younger brother as he needs to be protected. When Zanka choose to joined the Cleaners instead of being Hell Guard, Zanka was disinherited by the family. Both Kyouka and Goka are disappointed that Zanka chose a different path from them and failing to live up to the family's expectations. According to Zanka, Kyouka was very upset at him when he decided to become a Cleaner because of her dislike of Givers.

Zanka has avoided Kyouka and Goka since then, as he became afraid and nervous to be in close proximity with either of them. Likewise, Kyouka and Goka refused to see Zanka during their visit to Cleaners Headquarters. Upon seeing each other at the Doll Festival, Zanka initially try to hide from Goka. While confronting Mymo, Goka behaves coldly Zanka and criticize his brother for being too dependent on his Vital Instrumen

Riyo Reaper As members of Team Akuta, Riyo and Zanka are gets along very well and usually act casual when interacting. They often help each other out in missions. However, Riyo's playful nature and tendency to tease everyone makes Zanka think of her as immature. Zanka does seem to care about Riyo though as he became distressed after she was nearly killed due to Amo's powers in Penta.

Follo Tunito Back at the North Ward, Follo directly watched Zanka defeat the moose Trash Beast right outside the crowded window. Zanka's actions gave Follo an idea, and he went up to Enjin, Gris, and Zanka to ask if he could be apart of the Cleaners.

Tamsy Caines Zanka and Tamsy are seen working decently together during The Lady of Penta Arc. When Tamsy started to seem reckless with his abilities, Zanka shouted at him, confused at his actions. They are able to successfully contain the rest of the Cleaners together.

Engine Zanka has great admiration for Enjin for helping him out in the past, which is what inspired him to quit training to be a Hell Guard and to be a Cleaner instead. Zanka works hard to receive Enjin's praise, often very happy he does so, and holds Enjin in high regard at all times. Others noted that Zanka is rather soft with matters concerning Enjin, being labeled as a "pushover", but Zanka get annoyed at Enjin's teasing sometimes. They have a close mentor-student, brotherly bond as Enjin sees great potential in Zanka and understands his personality very well. Furthermore, they speak to each other as equals, especially when discussing important matters.

Rudo Surebrec Zanka's relationship with Rudo begins as that of a mentor and a trainee, with Zanka being appointed as Rudo's trainer by Enjin. However, their initial interactions are fraught with tension and a feeling that they just don't click. Their first fight only confirms this, and a subsequent incident further complicates their dynamics. Despite this rocky start, Zanka fulfills his role as a mentor by eventually figuring out the conditions under which Rudo's Vital Instrument could appear, which is a turning key point in Rudo's development. As the story progresses, their relationship seems to be improving, suggesting they are getting closer and that the initial friction is giving way to a more positive and collaborative bond.

Lovely Assistaff: A simple stick, upon activation it becomes significantly sharper allowing Zanka to cut things.[11] It's strength also increases, allowing Zanka to kick up large amounts of dirt from the ground.[12] Zanka's agile and fluid fighting style allows him to use his entire body in full force to swing his Vital Instrument to deliver a deadly blow to enemies. Vibration Sensing: Zanka can stick Lovely Assistaff to the ground allowing him to utilize vibrations to sense people or objects in the area even when his vision is obscured.

On the surface, Zanka maintains a calm and composed exterior, a stark contrast to the chaotic, emotional turmoil he often experiences within. While he strives to present a placid demeanor, his volatile inner state of anger, disgust, or excitement can erupt in sudden, exaggerated outbursts. Despite his efforts to suppress emotions, he frequently gets caught up in the antics of his more whimsical teammates, momentarily dropping his serious, no-nonsense facade. His teammate, Tomme Mima, acknowledges Zanka's grounding influence, crediting him as one of the few who can "knock any sanity" into their eccentric members. Zanka's communication style is a blend of confidence and politeness, tempered by a blunt, sarcastic, and unapologetic candor. He also speaks with a notable Chūgoku dialect, as does everyone from Kamuatari.

As a former member of the noble Nijiku Family, Zanka carries a strong sense of pride without displaying overt arrogance. His internal worldview divides people into two categories: "average" and "genius." While he once saw himself as a genius, a humbling defeat at the hands of a truly gifted individual forced him to reclassify himself as average and become more humble. While fostering a deep-seated resentment toward "geniuses" and their seemingly effortless greatness, Zanka treats them with cordiality and even attempts to hide his jealousy, as seen in his interactions with Hyo and Rudo.

Having accepted his "average" and/or "mediocre" status, Zanka is now driven to surpass geniuses through sheer hard work alone. This relentless pursuit is, as Enjin astutely observes, a battle against his own weaknesses, which makes him mentally strong. Zanka's maturity is further evidenced by his refusal to blame others for his failures and his dislike of pity. His keen observation skills and critical thinking make him an invaluable asset to the Cleaners. Even his boss, Arkha Corvus, relies on Zanka for his insightful analysis, such as his ponderings over the growing myste

Zanka is a tall, slender teenager with a striking and meticulously styled appearance. His dark brown hair is slicked back into a mullet and accented with blond streaks that complement his piercing navy blue eyes. His unique look is further defined by his eyebrows, which are shaved into a pattern resembling three distinct lines, and his pierced ears, from which hang long, dangling tassel piercings.

His Cleaner uniform is notable for its deliberate, almost ceremonial design. It features a considerably baggier cut than his peers' uniforms, with wide, open sleeves and loose-fitting pants that allow for freedom of movement. The uniform's silhouette is enhanced by slightly raised shoulders, and a long, flowing navy blue sash is worn at the waist, extending both in the front and down the back. Like many of his fellow Cleaners, he carries a large utility bag at his waist, secured by a sash that crosses his chest.

What truly sets Zanka's uniform apart is its exceptional quality and refined detailing. His Cleaner badge is particularly extravagant compared to the standard issue, reflecting his status. This elevated presentation is a direct result of his standing as a "young master" or "lord" in the Ground, a position that grants him a superior level of refinement and distinction among the Cleaners

He's a member of the Cleaners in Team Akuta.

Zanka was born into the prestigious Nijiku Family and was expected to become a Hell Guard like his older sister and brother. To fulfill this expectation, he enrolled in the Central Hell Guard Training Academy in the Kamuatari District as a trainee, where he quickly rose to the top of his class. However, his dominance was short-lived when another trainee, Hyo, joined and surpassed his abilities. Zanka realized that he couldn't hope to compare to a genius like her. Disheartened, Zanka ran away and met Enjin, who inspired him to become a Cleaner and become strong enough to surpass geniuses.
