Taiju Shiba/Relationships

Hakkai Shiba
Taiju is Hakkai's elder brother. He viewed Hakkai as weak-minded and beat him while saying that his physical and verbal abuse were actions of love. He forces Hakkai to join Black Dragon- But after witnessing a shift in Hakkai's mindset, Taiju no longer sees a reason to stay with his Hakkai, and his sister Yuzuha and leaves the household. In an alternate timeline, Taiju grieves Hakkai's death by visiting a chapel daily. Taiju seems to care for Hakkai, but doesn't know how to exactly express it.

Yuzuha Shiba
Yuzuha is the younger sister of Taiju. Taiju often beat her and physically assaulted her growing up- As mentioned before, Taiju beats his siblings. She was protecting her younger brother, Hakkai; by taking two hits for the price of one, so Hakkai could remain untouched. Taiju does seem to care for her, but he's upset that she won't understand. In the Black Dragon Arc, when Yuzuha attempts to kill him, he reacts by saying, "Why must God put me through such tests?" Then he is seen crying as he says, "Why must I be forced to kill my own beloved sister?"
