- "I will turn you into a commemorative stone and put it on my mantle."
- —Ukobach to the Flame-Haired, Burning Eyed Hunter
Ukobach (ウコバク Ukobaku) was the Crimson Denizen who sought the perfect form for himself to manifest into the world by capturing people and locking them inside bubbles with his Treasure Tool. As he was still searching for it, until then he refused to humanize; thus, his physical form was not entirely complete and had a partial human-shaped form. His true name was "Playful Collector" (纏玩 Tengan).
Appearance[]
Ukobach's cameo after the end credits of Overture Part 1
Ukobach was like a black mass of energy that was slightly human-shaped. He hid in the bubbles produced by his Treasure Tool, Atalante, so only his bright red eyes and leering mouth were visible.
Personality[]
Ukobach always drove an invisible truck to capture humans whenever he could to find his perfect physical form. He also always had his precious Treasure Tool - Atalante with him to help fulfil his selfish dreams and to aid him in manifesting into this world. He had a habit of taking photos of people he had captured because he liked their appearances.
Background[]
Ukobach as the photographer
Ukobach had an ambition to search for the most perfect form for him to manifest himself into the world by capturing people. To fulfill his ambition, Ukobach captured people and locked them inside bubbles with his Treasure Tool Atalante. The man who appeared after 10 years was also his prey. Ukobach found him too old, made him a Torch and threw him out. He took on the appearance of a strange photographer and approaches Yukio Hamaguchi with his assistant, asking if he could take some photos of him. He flattered him, getting him to say yes. After a short photo session, the photographer requested Yukio to meet him again in better-looking clothing; Yukio agreed for Saturday, and the photographer left. Ukobach devoured Junko Ōgami, who tried to get in his way.[1]
Plot[]
Overture[]
Ukobach with the picture of Yukio
At Jōshi Park, Ukobach abducted Yukio Hamaguchi, leaving behind a trail of fire. The Flame-Haired, Burning Eyed Hunter was able to follow it to a truck that was being driven by the assistant. When the Flame Haze entered the back of the truck, Ukobach activated a Fūzetsu, making the truck invisible to the outside. He was able to identify the Flame Haze and Alastor, then introduced himself. He explained his plan of taking pictures of people and choosing the best one as his new appearance. The girl called him 'weak', making him shrink back. The girl claimed that Ukobach was not strong enough to keep his new form, and he knew it. After being criticized further, Ukobach brought out Atalante, blowing bubbles at the girl. They were repelled. When he was asked to return to the Crimson Realm, Ukobach showed the Flame Haze a picture of Yukio. When the girl advanced, he squeezed the bubble. He used all of the bubbles as a shield and blew at the girl. This did not work, when Ukobach's arm and Atalante got chopped off. The girl stabbed him in the head, killing him. The assistant turned into blue flames then also disappeared.[1]

Treasure Tools[]
Atalante (アタランテ Atarante): Ukobach's Treasure Tool, Atalante, was able to trap people in bubbles. When he blew in it with an amount of the Power of Existence it created bubbles which could detain humans inside. The humans captured by Atalante would be shrunk into a smaller size for Ukobach's convenience. The captured humans cannot move or think and do not need to eat, but age normally as time passes.
Rinne[]
Ukobach used a Rinne of his own creation to assist him in his plan. It was humanoid and was able to act independently to some extent. When Ukobach confronted Yukio as a photographer, the Rinne acted as the assistant. Later, during Ukobach's fight with Shana in the truck, the Rinne was the driver.
