Tokyo Special Division 4
CharacterTokyo Special Division 4 was Makima's experimental Public Safety unit, a deliberately mixed squad of humans, fiends, devils, and hybrids treated as powerful but expendable assets.
Overview
Set up by Makima as a trial unit and later handed to Captain Kishibe, this subdivision of Public Safety broke from the usual pattern by blending fiends, hybrids, devils, and ordinary humans within a single team. Its roster leaned heavily on outliers, members judged formidable yet disposable by the bureau on account of their unusual nature.
Role
During the Katana Man arc, the divisions battered by the clash with Katana Man and Sawatari were folded into Special Division 4 to shore up its numbers. After Makima's death, the unit effectively ceased to function, since its members had either died or stepped away from the work.
Notable Members
Makima headed the division until her death, with Kishibe serving as captain and surviving. Its ranks gathered a striking mix of personnel: Denji, Aki Hayakawa, Power, Himeno, Kobeni Higashiyama, and Hirokazu Arai among the humans and hybrids, alongside the Angel Devil, Beam, the Violence Fiend Galgali, and Princi. Several members, including Himeno, Aki, Power, and Arai, died over the course of the story, while others such as Denji, Kobeni, and Madoka resigned.
