Jofuku/History

Chapter 2
Jofuku appears at the Busters' ritual through a television and claims to be Saga itself. Through this, he gives messages in which he warns that the apocalypse is near and that Saga would soon be destroyed if they did nothing. Furthermore, he provides the date of the end of the world as 1999. The message cuts off with warnings to seal everyone from Saga's curses before the deadline.

Chapter 3
Jofuku tells Eikichi that Saga's supernatural activity is well known to the inhabitants, and that from time to time some of them commission the Sagako Busters to deal with them. He informs Eikichi that thanks to his Misogi power and his constant fight against the Sagako, there will come a point where he can use this energy to revive Yuko Hyodo.

Chapter 4
Jofuku is helping Tae in her work as a fast food vendor in a food truck. Here we are shown his real appearance in the Gaiden manga, and it is revealed to us that he is Tae's adoptive father.

Tae sends Eikichi and Jofuku to go shopping to help her with her food stall. Jofuku reveals to Eikichi that Tae used to work with Yuko and that during that time the place was thriving. After Yuko was turned into an onion, the place lost interest and only Tae was there to stop the place from disappearing. He reveals that the Sagakos murdered Tae parents years ago.

When they arrive at the food point, Eikichi feels a Sagako and the three of them are going to fight him because he was the one who was scaring away the customers of the place.

Chapter 5
MJ accompanies the Busters at a party because he reconciled with Tae after talking on TV. Tae had gotten into a fight with him long ago for being too overprotective of her.

After a crazy night at the party, MJ sees Eikichi coming out after being hit by Tae, so he decides to tell him the story behind the group Saga Sagako Busters. They both enter a room filled with Sagakos sealed in onions. MJ mentions that the curse was born from the search for the Elixir of Immortality, and that since then, he has been struggling with the curses that originate from Saga. Over time, the curses took a new form and became Sagako. Eikichi asks why onions are special, and MJ replies that the land of the Hyodo is special because of long exposure to love that gave them the strength to seal the curses. MJ and Eikichi go to the bathroom, where MJ decides to release more information about the curse.

10 years ago, the Busters team was formed, but without Yuko's power it was impossible to seal them. Before Yuko, curses had no physical form, but changed form as Saga becomes prosperous. The force of the curses cause them to take physical force. Before, the curse manifested itself through natural disasters and ruin to the people of Saga.

However, the Sagakos will not possess humans and will eliminate people who bring prosperity for Saga. As Yuko brought prosperity to Saga, her power was weakening after so many battles with Sagako. She ended up being sealed and preserved in an onion. To get Yuko back, all of Saga's curses must be sealed, and that is where Eikichi has the responsibility for him as Sagako Busters.

In the morning, the group receives a fax indicating Sagako's presence. With Jofuku's power he manages to locate the Sagako and his suspicions of Sagako possessing humans are frighteningly closer.

Chapter 6
After the Saga Sagako Busters managed to contain the Sagako, he appears to see how the situation is, clarifying that he only felt Sagako's direction and that it was they who concluded that Takeo was possessed, in addition to that Takeo and Sachika made such a good couple that attract the prosperity of Saga.

Present

Chapter 8
Angry at the failure of the mission, he asks the Busters to take care of fixing the problem and not letting another Sagako escape. When Tae tells him that maybe he should fight with them, he just replies that the human world should only be shaped by humans. With no other choice, Eikichi decides to go find Anna on his own.

Chapter 9
At the group meeting about Higashino he is attentive to the problem that he poses to the integrity of the group, Anna asks him what would happen if a Sagako can be defeated with regular weapons since Keiji shot Sagako with a pistol. Hearing these words he gets up from the table visibly angry and exclaiming that if you destroy a Sagako's container it will destroy the Sagako but the soul inside it will not be purified and the curse will become stronger, in other words, if it is not sealed in an onion will come back but stronger.

Chapter 10
After Higashino's beating of Eikichi, MJ tries to talk to Eikichi about what happened, having a hard time getting information out of him. While the Busters do their missions, he keeps an eye on Eikichi at the mansion, making sure he's okay while they're gone.

Chapter 11
As the days go by, Jofuku begins to feel more and more ill and has no choice but to stay in bed all day accompanied by Romero. When the house collapses because of a giant Sagako, he manages to save Yuko's onion from the rubble and is rescued by Tae when they get to safety.

Flashback
