hapter 24: The Spark of Inventions
Members of the Tori no Ichizoku clan often find themselves questioning why Dr. Machinist is so undeniably evil. However, one thing that stands out is how he treats the clan members. Despite being ranked number 3 in the entire organization, alongside figures like Aliyah, the "Lady of Explosion," and "Poisonous Lord" Doku, Dr. Machinist doesn’t treat his fellow clan members as beneath him. This stark contrast to his ruthless treatment of victims is a surprising revelation. One would expect a narcissistic sociopath, but that’s not the case with him.
The reason for his more respectful demeanor toward the clan members lies in his still-present sense of morality. He views his actions—his torturous methods and his advancements in machinery—as a step forward for science. Despite his horrific crimes, he believes he is contributing to a better future. This perspective allows him to see his fellow clan members and even his superiors as allies and fellow humans. Surprisingly, he maintains friendships with both Aliyah and Doku.
Aliyah once spoke to a clan member about Dr. Machinist’s complexities:
Aliyah: “You know the guy, right? Dr. Machinist? The one with 80% of his body replaced with machinery?”
Toya: “Yeah, I’ve heard of him. Surprisingly, he’s a chill dude, despite everything he’s done. It’s hard to hate him. He stands out in a place full of racists and sexists because he still has some morality left.”
Aliyah: “He views his machines as a means to advance science and robotics. His intentions may be good, but the execution is something else entirely. He’s creating these horrific devices and killing people in the process—all in the name of science.”
Toya: “So it’s like he’s got good intentions but bad execution... but is that really the case? His motives are so conflicted. Why does he need to kill children and commit murder and rape to test his experiments? It’s like he views people as nothing more than lab rats. You’d think that would show extreme narcissism, but his narcissism is minimal. He still feels empathy—he’s a dark empath, and that’s what makes him even more terrifying. He could be anyone, blending in with society, while hiding a monster underneath.”
Aliyah: “When I first met him, I never would’ve suspected a thing. He seemed like just another normal guy. If he weren’t part of the clan, I’d never think twice. His lack of narcissism is concerning though—he doesn’t seem to care about himself. In fact, he might be willing to sacrifice his life in pursuit of his twisted goals, and that makes him even more dangerous.”
Toya: “He’s a master of manipulation—Machiavellian to the core. The way he plans and executes his crimes is methodical, like a well-oiled machine. He’s a doctor, an engineer. His mind works in ways that allow him to calculate every step before taking it. But here’s the thing: he still feels empathy. That makes him a far more dangerous monster than any sociopath or psychopath out there. He can be anyone, fit into any social circle, and still be a killer—one who could make the most depraved people look like saints.”
Aliyah: “His motivations are a puzzle. On the surface, he’s driven by science, by a vision of technological advancement. But when you look deeper, his actions don’t make sense. Why commit murder and rape, even with a desire to push the boundaries of technology? It’s almost as if the sadism within him is what drives him—despite his capacity for empathy. He could be good if he chose to be, but he chooses darkness instead.”
Dr. Machinist is a paradox, a man who has distorted his scientific pursuits into a dark, twisted form of art. His experimentation on human beings isn’t driven by a thirst for power, nor is it born of some personal vendetta—it is the result of an unshakable belief that he is advancing human evolution. His actions are painted as necessary sacrifices for the greater good. He considers himself a visionary, a creator, in the same vein as those who pushed boundaries in history. To him, the grotesque machines he builds, the innocent lives he destroys in the process, are simply part of the grand design of his future.

Yet, despite this grand delusion, he is not without complexity. His empathy, though warped, makes him dangerous in a way that pure sociopathy cannot match. He feels, but those feelings are twisted into something alien. He can form bonds, friendships, and connections with those who work with him, but these are all based on his own agenda. The camaraderie he shares with Aliyah and Doku is not born of mutual respect in the traditional sense but out of a shared belief in their vision of the world—a world where science is god, and humanity is nothing more than an experiment.

Toya Kurai, a member of the Tori no Ichizoku clan, was only 25 years old when Kaizen ended his life for the crimes he committed. His joining the clan was shrouded in mystery, and many questioned his motives. But the truth of Toya’s life, his struggles, and his journey reveals a story of pain, resilience, and a dark descent.
Born on May 21st, 1999, in New York City, Toya appeared to lead a normal childhood. He went to school, made friends, and even rebelled against authority—traits common in many teenagers. However, his life wasn’t as smooth as it seemed on the surface. Toya was diagnosed with dyslexia, which set him apart from his peers in ways that would affect him for the rest of his life. His condition made reading and writing a daily challenge, but it also made him an easy target for bullying. For the 11 years he spent in school, Toya was constantly mocked and belittled by classmates and even some teachers. The isolation and constant humiliation became the crucible that forged his beliefs about violence and survival.
In a world that had shown him no mercy, Toya came to believe that strength was the only way to gain respect and survive. He internalized the idea that violence was necessary to assert his place in society. Over time, he grew increasingly interested in martial arts, devoting countless hours to self-teaching. His focus on both academics and physical discipline led him to excel in both areas. While he managed to do well in school, his true passion lay in the martial arts, where he found an outlet for his anger and a way to defend himself.
Toya’s upbringing shaped the person he became—someone who felt compelled to prove his worth through force, believing that only by dominating others could he carve out a space for himself in a world that had never shown him kindness.
----------------------------------------
Toya, Aliyah, and Doku often worked together in carrying out heinous acts of genocide, each contributing their own brand of terror. Toya’s role in these massacres was especially dark. He distributed poisoned and explosive candies and medicine, luring unsuspecting victims—often women and children—into a trap of death. Armed with guns and explosives, he became a merciless executioner, targeting the most vulnerable to maximize fear and suffering.
What made Toya’s actions particularly vile was his penchant for sadism. He did not merely kill; he derived pleasure from the pain of his victims. Torturing women and children became a twisted pastime for him, a horrifying display of how deeply he had descended into depravity. His cruelty knew no bounds as he inflicted unimaginable suffering, his laughter echoing as a grim reminder of the human cost of his actions.
Doku’s poisons, Aliyah’s explosives, and Toya’s sadistic violence created a trifecta of death and destruction, each feeding off the other’s monstrous capabilities. Together, they left behind a trail of devastation that cemented their legacy as some of the most feared members of the Tori no Ichizoku clan. For Toya, these acts were not just a demonstration of power—they were a validation of his belief that violence and dominance were the only paths to survival and respect in a world that had shown him no kindness.
One of Toya’s survivors was a woman he had once tormented. Her survival, though, was no guarantee. In the aftermath of the massacre, he found her, broken and fearful. As she cowered, he seized the opportunity to manipulate her emotions with calculated precision. He exploited the trauma he had inflicted, weaving a web of control and dependence that she couldn't escape. Over time, he fostered a bond rooted in fear and manipulation, convincing her that he was both the source of her pain and her only protector.
Toya: “The world is cruel, my dear. But I can keep you safe. Together, we can survive this chaos.”
Broken and unable to escape the psychological grip Toya had on her, she eventually became his wife—a union forged in trauma and domination, a testament to his depravity and mastery of manipulation.

"Morality and justice, huh? I, Toya, am the handler and the giver of death. By replacing all of your medication and food and water with only poison and bombs, you will eat, drink, or even take medication and be killed, not knowing you were handed death by the one who gives it. I am the handler and the giver of death. And due to this, you die alongside your family, either by the poison or by the explosive water, food, or even medication. I am the handler and the giver of death. Toya Kurai."
