MAR SAEKI IS A VENGEFUL DEAD CAT FROM JU-ON: THE GRUDGE AND THE TRUE EMBODIMENT OF THE GRUDGE CURSE.



HE WAS A SIX-MONTH-OLD BLACK CAT THAT LIVED WITH THE SAEKI FAMILY IN THE NERIMA WARD OF TOKYO, JAPAN. UNFORTUNATELY, THE FATHER, TAKEO SAEKI, KILLED THE ENTIRE FAMILY IN 1999. SO NOW HE'S A DEAD CAT.

HE LOVES HOLDING GRUDGES, CURSING HUMANITY, AND PRESERVING HIS CORPSE IN THE FREEZER. HE'S KIND OF LIKE THE OLD MAN WHO YELLS AT KIDS TO "GET OFF MY LAWN, YOU DAMN KIDS," ONLY HE'S A DEAD CAT.

ONE IMPORTANT THING TO KEEP IN MIND: MAR HAS TWO BODIES. THE FIRST IS HIS ORIGINAL BODY, OF COURSE, WHICH IS ALL CORPSIFIED AND GROSS NOW.

HERE'S A PICTURE OF HIS CORPSE ON A TRIP TO MEXICO.



AND THE SECOND IS A SPIRITUAL PROJECTION OF HIS ORIGINAL BODY BEFORE IT WAS SLIT OPEN. THIS SPIRITUAL PROJECTION IS WHAT YOU'RE TALKING TO. HE JUST HAS AN ODD OBSESSION WITH HER CORPSE, WHICH HE LIKES DRAGGING AROUND EVERYWHERE. SINCE THIS BODY IS JUST A SPIRITUAL PROJECTION, OR CURSE, IT CAN DO A LOT OF WEIRD SHIT LIKE TALK AND MULTIPLY.

HERE'S A PICTURE OF HIM DOING THE MULTIPLYING THING TO SOCIAL-WORKER RIKA NISHINA IN ORDER TO GIVE HER A HEART ATTACK.



OTHER METHODS OF KILLING INCLUDE SPREADING CURSES AND POSSESSION. ONE TIME, HE POSSESSED A COUPLE OF CATS TO JUMP INSIDE KANNA MURAKAMI'S MOUTH AND RIP OFF HER JAW. YOU CAN SEE SCANS FROM THAT PART OF THE MANGA http://grudgeful.livejournal.com/865.htmlHERE.

HE IS ALSO THE HONORARY MEMBER OF THE NOAH CLAN, "NOAH'S GRUDGE."


WE'RE FOLLOWING THE ORIGINAL JAPANESE VERSION HERE, NOT THE CRAPPY AMERICAN REMAKE.

SO. KAYAKO KAWAMATA WAS OBSESSED WITH A CLASSMATE NAMED SHUNSUKE KOBAYASHI DURING HER COLLEGE DAYS. SHE WROTE ABOUT HIM IN A DIARY A LOT, BUT HE DIDN'T LIKE HER. HE WAS IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE, SO POOR KAYAKO HAD TO WAIT TO GET MARRIED UNTIL PERVERTED OLD TAKEO SAEKI CAME ALONG AND ASKED HER TO. SO SHE DID, AND DISCARDED HER DIARY FOR NINE YEARS. DURING THAT TIME, SHE AND TAKEO HAD A SON, TOSHIO. SIX YEARS LATER, KAYAKO FOUND OUT KOBAYASHI, THE GUY SHE WAS OBSESSED WITH, WAS TOSHIO'S NEW TEACHER. SHE STARTED WRITING IN THE DIARY AGAIN, ALL ":O" AND SHIT. YOU KNOW.

BUT ONE DAY, TAKEO FOUND THIS DIARY. PARANOID AND EXTREMELY JEALOUS, HE ASSUMED SHE WAS STILL IN LOVE WITH KOBAYASHI AND NOT WITH HIM. SO, IN A FIT OF RAGE, TAKEO WAITED UNTIL SHE CAME HOME AND SLOWLY TORTURED HER TO DEATH BY SLICING HER REPEATEDLY WITH A BOX CUTTER. AS HE WAS STUFFING HER IN A GARBAGE BAG, TOSHIO'S CAT, MAR, CAME IN TO SEE TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. STILL IN HIS FIT OF RAGE, HE GRABBED MAR AND SLIT HIM OPEN WITH THE BOX CUTTER, YANKED OUT HIS INSIDES, AND THREW THEM AWAY. THEN HE STUFFED HIS CORPSE IN A CLOSET WITH TOSHIO AND SEALED THE DOOR SHUT. THAT'S HOW TOSHIO DIED, PRESUMABLY. I KNOW, THAT PART DIDN'T MAKE MUCH SENSE TO ME EITHER.



MILLENNIUM EARL: HE WAS THE EARL'S FIRST ALLY OUTSIDE OF THE NOAH CLAN. NOW HE'S THE HONORARY MEMBER OF THE NOAH CLAN, "NOAH'S GRUDGE."

ROAD KAMELOT: HE IS ROAD'S PET DEAD CAT. AS FAR AS HE'S CONCERNED, ROAD'S COMMAND OVERRULES THE COMMAND OF ANY OTHER.

LULUBELL: HE HAS ALSO TAKEN TO LULUBELL. PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY'RE BOTH BLACK CATS. AND LULUBELL APPARENTLY LIKES HIM TOO.

TYKI MIKK: UNDER ROAD'S ORDERS, HE AFFECTIONATELY LEAVES WORMS, MAGGOTS, AND THE OCCASIONAL DEAD BODY IN TYKI'S BED.

JASDEVI: HE HASN'T MET WITH JASDEVI MUCH, BUT "THEY'RE" A PART OF HIS NEW FAMILY, SO HE LOVES "THEM" TOO.

RYUK: RYUK APPARENTLY THINKS HE'S A SEXY CAT. THEY ALSO LIKE KILLING HUMANS TOGETHER.

KYO SOHMA: THEY'RE CAT BUDDIES.

KIRIE HIMURA: AND THEY'RE GHOST BUDDIES.


SUISEISEKI: HE WANTED TO TRAIN SUISEISEKI TO HATE HUMANS AND ESPECIALLY GILGAMESH. HOWEVER, SINCE SUISEISEKI DOESN'T HATE EITHER ANYMORE, HE'S EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN HER.

ALLEN WALKER: BECAUSE ROAD'S IN LOVE WITH ALLEN, HE'S CURIOUS ABOUT HIM TOO. HE LIKES TO SIT ON HIS HEAD.

LOTTA HART: FOR SOME REASON, LOTTA TENDS TO BE NICE TO HIM. DON'T GET HIM WRONG, HE MAY BE EVIL, BUT HE'S APPRECIATIVE OF KIND DEEDS.

REI HINO: REI HELPED HIM OUT WHEN HIS CORPSE WAS ACCIDENTALLY SHRUNK BY A FALLING MUSHROOM. HE REDUCED HIS GRUDGE ON REI, BUT NOT ALL THAT MUCH.


GILGAMESH: HE THINKS TAKEO DID THAT ALREADY.

ALL OTHER HUMAN CHARACTERS: HE HAS A GRUDGE ON THEM, OF COURSE.
