Sakari

"But I'll enjoy killing you most of all...!"

- Sakari

Sakari (サカリ) is the main antagonist of Rising Beginnings and the first main antagonist of the series. His influence is felt throughout several arcs of the series. This is the original depiction of Sakari, as created by Alex Guy. He appears briefly in Ocean Blue and Stardust Frontier.

He was originally a gangster, who slowly grew into a power-hungry individual and left the mafia to start his own path. Forming and leading the Chaos Agency, Sakari planned to rule the world with "mutants," starting with East City. This put him at odds with Keiichi's group; as a result, Sakari sent his agents and Dakera to kill them. After being defeated by Master Crimson, Sakari survived and released nanites into East City before retreating to unknown parts of the world, but his legacy continued with Dakera, who he had groomed to be his eventual successor.

In 2029, he returned and briefly witnessed the Grand Championship before disappearing once again. However, in the 2030's, it was later revealed that Sakari had possessed the Heavenly Gem and sent it to Terry Powers, a previous colleague, the raid on the Chaos Agency because of Keiichi.
