Itsuki Kawasumi (Web Novel)

Kawasumi Itsuki is the Bow Hero and one of the four holy hero summoned in Melromarc

Personality
Being a bullied child has left Itsuki with a desire to be special and superior, his sense of justice and need for praise both stem from this, as does his inability to deal with the meek Rishia, who reminds him of his weakness.Like the other three heroes he believed the world they had come into was a game, but he goes further than they do and believes Naofumi has met god I.e. the game master, and received powers from him to explain his superiority. Even after becoming a yes man and having everything shattered, he still feels Rishia being stronger than him has to be a cheat. Like the other heroes he thought he was immortal as well, since the "game" wouldn't let them die.

He called himself an ally of justice and tried to act on it, at-least as fairly at the beginning but he lost the true essence of justice and acted on his own selfish reason under the guise of justice.His sense of justice is so encompassing that he refuses to listen what anyone had to say and believed his own to be true and just. Under the influence of the Curse Series Itsuki wishes to bring everyone in the world to understand him and his justice, via brainwashing arrows, and goes completely off kilter, trying to outright kill Rishia when she said his stance on justice was utterly mistaken, not willing to listen to her and calling everything against his belief as evil.

Though he goes on about justice on a regular bases, his view of it is incredibly self-indulgent and one sided. As Naofumi and later Rishia both put it Itsuki's justice is not the same as someone else's justice, and there are as many types of justice in the world as there are people. He was willing to put the evil doers to death if he believes so, and was willing to Kill Nafoumi when the later was charged with kidnap accusation and doesn't mind of killing some one, if he considers them to be evil though it may not be true.

He can also be quite gullible and stupid, though not to Motoyasu's extent, as all of his teammates excluding Rishia are in fact extremely untrustworthy people who just praise him all the time.They just fed his desire to be praised and every-time he felt satisfied by their praise.He's even willing to conceal his power form allies and wait for them to actually be in danger before he'll step in so he can impress them.

He feels in his own mind that he's the strongest of the heroes, and he undergoes stealthy missions to kill corrupt nobles and save villages almost always just for the praise. He's extremely petty, and not very smart, believing Naofumi is guilty on both the false rape charge and later believing the Nafoumi of steeling his credit for his achievements, which basically isn't hard for anyone to do because Itsuki pretends to be a robbin-hood-esk Hero who conceals his own activities often.His pettiness was once again exposed, when Rishia was praised over him for her effort against L'Arc. For which he framed Rishia of breaking an item and kicked her out, as she was praised over him.

Then again he can be easily fooled, like he was by the church of three heroes for all their lies about Nafoumi and also by Nafoumi's scam of an item that supposedly had the power to raise his EXP intake. After awakening his curse series, He believes Naofumi is evil for taking slaves and turning away people who he could supposedly revive from the dead, because Malty tricked him into thinking the latter was possible.

In short, he's stuck up, gullible, and wants to be praised by others. The one thing Naofumi has ever said to him that has genuinely enraged Itsuki is in fact as simple as "i thought you were better than this, my evaluation of you has dropped," to which he was willing to shoot the Shield Hero in the back of the head for it.

After the Spirit Turtle incident, his comrades all abandon him and he's reduced to a hollow shell of a man who goes around fighting in tournaments solely to gain praise from the crowd. He's later approached in this broken state and taken advantage of by Mald and Malty, as well as the revolutionary faction, and is given a Curse Series weapon based on Pride.

His own Legendary Bow, if Rishia is to be believed, feels he's gone too far and gives its power to her specifically to help her bring a stop to it.

Post Curse

After suffering defeat at Rishia's hands he's become a total "yes man"; he would dance, handstand, or execute himself if ordered, and cannot tell lies.This is because of the curse series which took away his will to decide on his own. He's left in Rishia's care until he recovers from this state.

The curse Itsuki received was a curse that effected thought process. His decision making power was nulled. The curse took away his will in itself. Itsuki was incapable of lying. Itsuki said the first thing that popped into his head. He couldn't make up lies. After his curse lifted off to a certain extant, he accepts his wrongs doings and misinterpretation of justice as he was drunk with conviction of others, instead of investigating.

After recovering from his curse, he was again able to think for himself, but his own sense of righteousness remained unclear to him. He began to accept that Justice was in the eyes of the beholder, and that depending on the individual's perspective, one form of Justice may seem true, while from another angle, it may seem to be false Justice. When the world is once again at peace, he plans to go on a journey that he hopes will help him develop his own sense of Justice; a sense of Justice that he will be adequately satisfied with, and not one that simply serves to benefit himself.

Summary
He is rumored to be the strongest Hero, but he has a messiah complex and claims everything he does is in the name of justice. He vanquishes those he sees as evildoers without thinking of the consequences of his actions. He likes to wait until people are in a crisis before acting so he can "save" them in a heroic fashion, going far enough to lie about his abilities to cover up his inaction before people fall into critical situations.

Itsuki’s group arrived before Ren and Motoyasu’s. Half a day faster at that. And he destroyed one of the statues just like the others.

But nothing happened, and the group was captured by the soldiers of the country.

Armor pushed all of the blame onto Itsuki. He shouted at him, telling him that he was no hero of justice.

With their trust broken, the group was thrown into jail. They were set to have an audience with the king… but the Spirit Turtle revived, and Itsuki was forced to challenge it.

But without lifting a finger… His comrades came to a silent agreement. They got together behind Itsuki’s back. They ran away, leaving him as a sacrifice to the Turtle.

Later Mald declared. That Justice without power was no Justice. Since Itsuki was unable to stop the Spirit Turtle, he was no justice.

To satisfy his sense of justice, he went off to challenge the Spirit Turtle, and his comrades had had enough and fled.
