Jun Mutsuki (Crossroads)

Jun Mutsuki is a character associated with Reiji Midorihara in Crossroads of Destiny. His vanguard circle is violet.

Personality
Jun is calm, calculating, and cunning, as is to be expected from the King of the Underground Fights. However, he has a strange sense of honor. Despite being the leader of a gang of cheaters, he himself never cheats or uses underhanded tricks in order to win. He also believes in forgiveness and mercy, understanding that the division between Reiji and Asahi is only temporary and hopeful that their bond can be renewed. He also tries to facilitate a bond between Reiji and Makoto.

Crossroads of Destiny
Some years before the start of the series, Jun learned how to play Vanguard from Reiji Midorihara, and the two became fast friends. Along with Asahi Yuto, they founded an underground fight circuit in order to test the limits of Vanguard. Even though Asahi and Reiji grew more distant over the years, Jun tried to maintain a friendship between both of them, hoping to serve as the bridge between them. This may be the reason he enters the Tournament of Champions.

Reiji Midorihara
Jun and Reiji were friends many years prior to the start of the series. Even though they don't speak as much anymore, Jun still considers himself and Reiji to be friends. He seems to have maintained communication with Reiji longer than he had with Asahi. Jun also attempts to reforge the bond between Reiji and Asahi.

Asahi Yuto
Jun and Asahi were friends many years prior to the start of the series. Even though they don't speak as much anymore, Jun still considers himself and Asahi to be friends.

Ryo Kanzaki
Jun and Ryo are generally friendly with each other. Ryo seems to have served as Jun's contact with Reiji during the years they spent apart.

Makoto Sakaki
Jun and Makoto meet during a challenge issued by Rex Kido in order to see if Makoto could qualify for the Tournament of Champions. When they met at the tournament, Jun taught Makoto more about the problems between Asahi and Reiji and also attempted to forge a similar bond between Reiji and Makoto.

Deck
Jun uses a Spike Brothers deck, focusing on calling units, which then superior call copies of themselves later on in the game. The deck allows him to constantly maintain a strong field of attackers. The extra soul that his rear-guards give when they superior call also fuels the skills of General Seifried and Unite Attacker.

By the time the Tournament of Champions came, Jun had made significant alterations to the deck. He decided to focus more on the new skill Spike Brothers received that allowed them to move Force markers between circles. Gone are units like Unite Attacker that focus too much on soul blasts. Key rear-guards in the deck now include Delta Attacker, Two-Headed Lineman, and Thundering Odarona.
