Background
Luo Di was born in Jupiter City and was once an exceptionally diligent high-school student. He studied attentively, exercised during breaks, ran at night, and spent much of his free time building his physique. His classmates often kept their distance because of his relentless self-improvement routine. 2 3 26 383
At fifteen, Luo Di witnessed Jock’s attack on his neighborhood, which killed his family. In the aftermath, he repeatedly exhumed and returned his relatives’ bodies from their cemetery plots without being discovered. Despite the severity of his mental condition, examinations found no sign of a Mind Corner in his pituitary gland. 78 390
He initially preferred living alone, filling his time with movies, weight training, cooking, and physical exercise. His fascination with horror-film murderers later shaped his combat style, disguises, clothing, and public persona. 30 108 279
Appearance
Luo Di’s appearance varies significantly between his human, Hell, Corner, and transformed states. His normal appearance is that of a young man, while his Hell-derived forms emphasize gray coloration, metal, ash, and anatomical distortion. 269 405 641
- Gray hair and gray pupils containing writhing tentacle-like structures after his Hell body is forged. 269
- A metallic Jaw Ripper replaces his jaw in several combat states. 269
- His Hell body can regenerate using iron-wire frameworks before restoring flesh and bone. 357 506
- In the Old Moon state, gray-white spinal fluid covers his head as a full mask, leaving only his hair, mouth, tongue, and metal chin exposed. 641
- Old Master Jiang’s inheritance gives him jiangshi fangs, stiff scale-like skin, and an increasingly heavy, hardened body. 750 751
- His true form is described as gray, oppressive, and monstrous. 405
Personality
Luo Di is disciplined, observant, and unusually calm under immediate danger. He approaches fear through concentration and analysis, often suppressing emotional reactions to formulate an effective response. 3 37 104
He has a strong preference for solitude and self-reliance, but he is not indifferent to others. Wu Wen’s death deeply destabilized him, culminating in a violent outburst at her funeral; later, he showed genuine empathy toward a grieving father whose Mind Corner transformation endangered others. 75 85
Luo Di enjoys direct combat, repetitive training, and the spectacle of arena fighting. His fascination with fictional killers informs the identity he builds around “Mr. Di,” though he increasingly questions whether endless killing is truly the path he wants to follow. 141 248 735
