Jofuku/Relationships

Kotaro Tatsumi
In episode 11, he warns Kotaro not to touch Yugiri because he owes her a lot. As implied in episode 13, the Bartender has to make fun of Kotaro's plan by calling it crazy, and to make him reconsider he tells him to get this over with and tell the girls it's all over. As expected, this has an effect because Kotaro leaves the bar looking for Franchouchou.

After the meeting with Arata Ookoba, Tatsumi goes to talk to Jofuku about his problems and they both comment that the Saga's curse is coming, likewise as part of Kotaro's plan. However, a storm interrupts them.

Yugiri
Thanks to her care, he was able to feel better for at least a while thanks to a tea that she gave him to drink. Although he didn't like it very much.

After the revolution started, Yugiri sacrificed herself so that Kiichi could create a new Saga and thus save Jofuku from dying.

150 years later, it is shown that they both still talk at the “New Jofuku” bar and that Yugiri is truly grateful to him for giving her a new chance in life.

Kiichi Momozaki
His supposed grandson, Kiichi, was a boy who lost his father after the Saga rebellion in 1874 and wandered the streets of Saga until he was adopted by Jofuku, who tasked him with saving Saga. Finally, with Yugiri's help, Kiichi was able to save Saga and save his grandfather from dying.

Tae Yamada
After Tae's parents are killed by Sagako, Jofuku finds Tae wandering the city and decides to take her as his daughter and personally train her to fight these curses. This training made Tae a rude and aggressive person; a life with a single purpose: to avenge her parents.



He was very overprotective of Tae, which causes both of them to fight constantly, and their relationship ends at a distance talking only on the mansion's television.

During the manga, Tae works at the Karatsu Burger food stall, where Jofuku is the boss of the franchise. They both see each other from time to time just to get groceries for Tae's work. Soon after, the two reconcile and Jofuku now personally helps the Busters find the Sagakos.

Although their relationship is not fully resolved, Tae once again shows some confidence in him as the chapters progress, letting him give the group advice on what they should do.

He finally succumbs to the curse, and is left at the Hyodo house to recover. Tae saves Saga by sealing a curse inside of her, which would make Jofuku recover and rejuvenate again. For him, although his adoptive daughter is dead, her spirit continues to protect Saga.

Eikichi Hyodo
When they meet in person, Jofuku thinks that he is just spying on Tae, but quickly realizes that he is the new member of the Busters who replaced Yuko. Even so, he distrusts him for being a bit of a wimp. Tae sends both of them to buy the groceries for the bus and they both go to the nearest supermarket to buy the offers of the day. After shopping, MJ tells him the truth about Tae's parents and how Sagako must be stopped.

In the next chapter, he tells Eikichi much of the truth about the curse and its origin by the Elixir of Immortality, how the Sagako work and the presence of the curse during the Saga story. MJ gives Eikichi hope about getting his sister back when all the Sagakos are sealed.

He shows sincere concern for Eikichi when Higashino brutally beats him, leaving him depressed for several days. While the Busters are away, he takes care of him when he goes out to eat at night.

By the end of the manga, he meets Eikichi again on the 5th anniversary of Tae's death to encourage him to move on with his life and tell him that Tae's spirit is safe protecting Saga.

Curse of Saga
Jofuku's greatest enemy, with whom he has fought for more than 2000 years to try to prevent the curse from continuing to destroy Saga. The curse tries to kill Jofuku by making Saga forgotten, and Jofuku fights the curse by protecting those who bring prosperity to Saga.
