Biography

Early Life

Unomaru’s father was always at work and whenever he came home his mother would yell at him. One day, when Unomaru was 14, his mother murdered his father and killed herself. Unomaru saw this happen and he started laughing.

10 years before the events of Code: Embryo, Unomaru worked for the Takamagahara organization on their attempts to create the T-System. Unomaru was present during the Wadatsumi Incident but survived due to being in the center building of the Wadatsumi Research Facility. He lost his memory of the incident but eventually regained them thanks to his meticulous notes.

At some point he invented TOi as a test for the T-System.

Embryo Incident

Code: Embryo, Lost: Memories

Unomaru first appeared alongside Mei Amanohokosaka at Touya Kagari’s house on the night he was attacked by Goro Joizumi. He told Hinata Himezuru to go buy tea so that he could talk to Touya uninterrupted. After making Es check if Touya had a crystal on his body, Unomaru explained that he assigned Es to protect Touya in case he got attacked again. He then took a sample of Touya’s blood to test if he’s a Union and left with Mei. In the car ride back, he asked Mei if she sensed the Azure from him. Upon learning that she did, although faintly, he said that things have gotten interesting and showed Mei the data he gathered on Touya, revealing to her that Touya was a Wadatsumi survivor.

The next morning, Unomaru arrived at Hakuo North Academy to talk to Touya. He told Touya that the Mitsurugi Agency bought Touya’s school claiming it was a coincidence but it was actually to allow Es to transfer in easily so she could continue to guard Touya. He also explained that for some reason Touya could hear a Discover Call up to 300 meters away. Unomaru played on Touya’s desire to protect people to try and convince him to use his powers to assist Es in tracking down Unions. When that failed he played on Touya’s guilt over surviving the Wadatsumi Incident, telling him that his mother, Ryoko Kagari, was responsible for the incident and the Union outbreak as a result.

That evening, he had the first encounter with Akio Osafune covered up as a gas explosion. He then approached Touya and expressed his gratitude for deciding to help him and his “dedication to justice,” something Touya denied as his reason.

A few days later, he appeared at the pool, having been the one to give Yuki Himezuru the tickets in the first place. He gave Es the order to have fun. He claimed he came to the pool, which was funded by the Mitsurugi Agency, by complete coincidence but also dragged Mei there against her will.

Unomaru stopped contacting anyone for several days until Akira Kamewari survived removing his crystal, at which point he told Es to return to the Mitsurugi Agency, claiming he had been doing important work. The next evening he found Touya and Kuon Glamred Stroheim outside the hospital, saying he came because something rare happened concerning Akira’s condition (while also saying he forgot his name). Touya asked Unomaru about Es and, despite claiming it was confidential, he told Touya that she was a Prime Field Interference Manifestation. Touya didn’t care about that, wanting to know why Unomaru abandoned Es. Unomaru claimed that it’s because he was close to finishing developing the new version of her and when he becomes focused on something he can’t pay attention to anything else. Touya was horrified by Unomaru’s callousness towards Es, with him calling her a thing and assuming Touya was worrying more about what happens to her body once she died then about keeping her alive. When Unomaru was about to leave, Sechs, Drei and Acht suddenly appeared behind them. Touya demanded to know why Sechs turned Akira into a Union but Drei said it’s because Akira wished for it. Unomaru was upset that he was being ignored and when Sechs called him foolish he asked why the Ten Sages abandoned their positions. Sechs said that to reach “zero” is completion and Unomaru said he doesn’t understand. Sechs then asked Unomaru what he desired most from the world and Unomaru said he simply wanted the prosperity of all mankind and would do anything to achieve that, even controlling a god if one existed. After telling Touya to ask himself why he exists, Sechs disappeared alongside Drei and Acht. Unomaru called them rude for just showing up, lecturing people and leaving and said he had no idea what they’re trying to accomplish before Touya hears a Discover Call coming from Akira’s room and runs off.

After Touya unleashed the power of the Origin of the Grimoire, Unomaru was glad to have verified its existence. While looking through the Mitsurugi Agency’s database he started laughing maniacally, saying he’d found Code: Embryo.

Unomaru declared that Touya was a high-risk Union and tasked Es and Mei with bringing him to the Mitsurugi Agency headquarters. After Touya and Es escaped, Mei called Unomaru, demanding to know why she lost command of the unit, but Unomaru said it was orders from the higher ups and hung up.

That night, at the Wadatsumi Research Facility, Unomaru sent an Es-N unit to confront Touya and Es as he talked to them over the speaker system. Unomaru told Touya to go into an elevator and come down to him if he wanted to talk, but specified that only Touya was welcome. Unomaru called Es garbage and ranted about how much surperior the Es-N units were, which angered Touya. Unomaru told the Es-N to kill Es and capture Touya so Touya and Es ran.

Touya took the elevator down to the core of the T-System where he was greeted by Unomaru and four more Es-N units. Unomaru revealed that he created eight of them, with another on the way and sent reinforcements to take care of Es. Touya said he needed to go back but Unomaru told him he locked the door behind Touya. Unomaru thanked Touya for coming to him and making things easy but Touya said he came to stop Unomaru from refining the Embryo. Unomaru asked him why he’d want to do that, saying that humanity would destroy itself within a century if left on its own. Unomaru teold Touya the story about his parents and said he wanted to end pointless fights and help humanity reach its full potential. Touya said he might have had a point but it’s wrong to manipulate people like that and he was afraid people would stop thinking for themselves. Unomaru then told Touya that his mother was also opposed to the T-System and during the Wadatsumi Incident, she shut down the T-System right before it was completed, causing the incident, but she managed to contain the damage to just the Restricted Ward. Angry that she stopped the T-System, Unomaru doctored documents to make it seem like Ryoko Kagari was in charge of the experiment and blame the incident on her as revenge. Touya called Unomaru insane since his mother was just trying to save people but Unomaru says Touya was the same since his Origin of the Grimoire is what caused the black wind that engulfed the Restricted Ward. Unomaru said it was time to refine the Embryo, which confused Touya since he came to stop it but Unomaru countered that refining it would be impossible without Touya. He then ordered the Es-N units to release the Grimoire and they pinned Touya to the ground with their swords. Unomaru told Touya that the Es-N’s weapons were made from from Mei’s blood and had the power to control the flow of seithr, allowing them to forcibly control the Origin of the Grimoire. Unomaru then revealed to Touya that Hinata was Code: Embryo, causing Touya to become enraged and start unleashing the Grimoire, which Unomaru said just saved him work. Unomaru had Touya absorb the seithr of all the Unions’ crystals he’d collected and give it to the Embryo, completing the Embryo and opening the Gate of Sheol leading to the Boundary. Unomaru said all he needed to do is go to the T-System’s control room and activate it in order to take control of the world. He also said he needed to hurry since leaving the Gate open for too long could kill everyone. Unomaru started going mad with power, saying he feelt like he could do anything and laughing maniacally. However, Sechs suddenly appeared and stabbed Unomaru with the Sword of Destruction: Kusanagi. Sechs said that Unomaru’s time had come. Unomaru ordered the Es-N units to kill Sechs but Sechs effortlessly defeated all of them. As Sechs turned his attention to the Embryo, Unomaru started stumbling forward, saying he wouldn’t lose to Sechs but fell into the Boundary.
