||
| + | Madoka is a middle school student, so unlike most of the characters she is not enrolled at Toudou academy. She is the current head of the Mawari family, a White Feather family with expertise in swordsmanship. She is a very carefree, kind girl. She seems to like sweets as when she and [[Aya Natsume]] bought ice cream for the group, she tried to run off with it all herself. She tends to refer to people with cute nicknames consisting of abbreviations of their surnames with a Japanese honorific, such as mi-chan, te-chan, mata-kun, and kabu-rin. |
||
| − | Emi is a third year student at Todo Academy. Not only is she Mitsuomi Takayanagi's second-in-command, but she also harbors a deep respect and love for him. She is very concerned about Mitsuomi given his heart condition, and is probably more protective than she needs to be. Since Mitsuomi's still has lingering feelings for Maya Natsume, Emi sees Maya as someone she must defeat (the manga offers readers a glimpse of a strange friendship, or at least, mutual respect). |
||
| + | |||
| + | In her initial appearance, Madoka was quite different. Since at the time as she was under a manipulation jutsu cast by [[Sohaku Kago]]. While under his influence, she had reduced sensitivity to pain and was incredibly determined. The spell also convinced her she was in love with Sohaku, but after be freed from it, she views him as an enemy that killed her parents. Madoka is not the only surviving member of her family as someone with her last name assists [[Souichiro Nagi]] in his training. |
||
| + | |||
| + | After her subsequent release from manipulation jutsu, she actually assists the [[Juken club]] and develops a crush on [[Masataka Takayanagi]]. Masataka is oblivious to this crush. Madoka herself doesn't seem to have a good understanding of such things as she didn't understand why [[Shizuru Kamura]] views [[Maya Natsume]] as an enemy. Madoka agrees to assist the Juken club in anyway despite the fact she can't actually compete in the election tournament. It seems she is doing so not only because she is a good person, but also to catch Masataka's attention. She is present at the fight between Masataka and [[Souichiro Nagi]] in his Susano form. After the tournament she is seen training with the [[Juken club]] and its new members. In a flash forward she is seen going to meet [[Bob]] for training with his child. |
||
| − | Being a member of the rich Isuzu family, she works the family's traditional job as the Takayanagi family's inner guard. Two years ago, she served as Mana Kuzunoha's bodyguard and was often responsible for videotaping the various individuals that the Takayanagi family found interesting. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | At first sight, Emi appears to be a drop-dead gorgeous girl, and so popular with the male students that she is first on the list “Women by whom I would like to be stomped on by". However, she is not called "The Black Blade" for nothing. Her most coveted secret is that she is extremely obese, which she does on purpose so she can use her ability to contort and fold her fat. In these folds, she can hide throwing knives and other various small objects if needed. Thus to the untrained eye when she is fighting, Emi seems to be able to pull knives out of nowhere. This secret is so well kept that only a few people know: Maya and a very shocked Shirō Tagami are the only known people that have been confirmed to have seen her true form, although Shinobu Kagurazaka seems to know about her true body, going by his comments after her defeat by Madoka Mawari. |

| ⚫ | |||
| + | It is revealed that the Takayanagi family has historically been supported by the [[12 founding families]]. [[Mitsuomi Takayanagi|Mitsuomi]]'s takeover disturbed this setup, displacing most of the family heads. A new alliance has formed with the assistance of [[Sohaku Kago|Sohaku]], calling itself "[[F]]". Madoka is a member of F, and unlike the majority of F she actually considers Sohaku her enemy. |

| − | === |
+ | ====F Arc==== |
| + | As [[Bob Makihara]] goes out for a run one day, Madoka appears behind him. [[Mitsuomi Takayanagi|Mitsuomi]], [[Bunshichi Tawara]], and [[Shinobu Kagurazaka]] observe the fight. As Madoka goes to attack, Bob immediately kicks her claiming she stuck out given her unusual dress. To his surprise he realizes Madoka had already sliced his thigh. Bob attempts to upset her and gain an advantage through various sex references and poking her breast, but to no avail. Bunshichi points out Mitsuomi has quite a bit of interest in Bob, as Mitsuomi taps a beat on the window sill. Mitsuomi wants Bob to show what he is truly capable of and prove he is the warrior Mitsuomi thinks he is. Bob has already sustained significant wounds, but as Madoka goes to leave Bob grabs her legs. Since Souichiro beat a member of F on his own, Bob is determined to do the same or least take her out with him. He climbs on top of her and tries to beat her, but nearly gets his jugular cut instead. As Bob stumbles back Madoka pulls a whip-sword out, that was wrapped around her leg. Bob believes he will be killed and can do nothing to avoid it and his mind goes blank. |
||
| + | Next thing Bob knows, he has avoided the attack. He realizes he is feeling vibrations through the ground, and by going by the "beat", he can avoid Madoka's attacks despite the fact they are too fast for his eyes to see. As Bob uses his rhythm to continue to dodge the attacks, Madoka becomes very frustrated, even bursting into tears because she can't finish him off. At the same time, Bunshichi arrives at the Juken club's room and informs Masataka of the fight. Masataka heads out to help Bob. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | Emi sets up the attack at the bowling alley, and fights Maya in the ladies rest room. She dislocates Maya's shoulder but is nonetheless defeated. She used up most of her ki and was unable to maintain her slender form, returning to her fat form, she shoots blades like a fragmentation grenade further damaging Maya. Later she yells at Shinobu Kagurazaka, calling him a transvestite, when she finds out disregarded his duty by leaving Mitsuomi to fight the whole Juken club alone. She rushes to his assistance, but Bunshichi had already ended the fighting. She waits for Mitsuomi outside the men's restroom, until he is strong enough to get back up. |
||
| − | ====Flashback Arc==== |
||
| − | Emi was originally Mana's bodyguard and videotaped Shin and the school’s various top fighters. Bunshichi Tawara, after seeing the videotape of Shin kill innocent people, decided to track down Shin. While doing so he spotted Emi videotaping him, figuring that she knew where Shin was, he confronted her. Scared after he reaches for her chest, she stabs him in the hand and a chase ensues. While Bunshichi is insisting that she hand over her body to him as payment for the damage to his hand, she grabs more of her blades and prepares to fight him. During the fight, she runs out of the way as a car driven some of the Takayanagi family’s men slams into Bunshichi, wrecking his motorcycle. As the car comes around for a second attempt to finish him off, Bunshichi's arms increase in size shredding his sleeves and he smashes the car. Later on, he uses an unconscious Emi to force a taxi to stop. Looking through her stuff, Bunshichi finds a GPS tracker and uses it to find Shin, as Mana has three trackers on him at all times. |
||
| + | [[Emi Isuzu]] enters the fight as it is disrupting the order of the school. Emi's interference just frustrates Madoka even more. Emi uses her blades to stop the whip-sword from coming back together, Bob then uses the segments of blade as steps to run up and kick Madoka in the face (shattering her other blade in the process). |
||
| − | After Bunshichi defeats Shin, Emi makes an appearance as one of Fu Chi'en's hostages while he tries to drive Shin insane. He assaults Maya, and leaves her on the floor with ripped clothes for Shin to see. As predicted, he starts to lose it and subsequently severely injures or kills all of Fu Chien's men. Emi cuts the rope binding her and attempts to attack Fu Chien believing his defeat may return Shin to normal. Shin defeats Fu Chien, but immediately goes after Emi afterward despite the fact she was only trying to help. He pins her to the ground with her own blades and as he is about to attack again Maya calls out to Shin calming him down. Mitsuomi burst in and rushes Shin, Maya calls out to him making Shin jealous. He blasts Mitsuomi with a large quantity of ki, leading to his heart condition. Emi is very grateful to Mitsuomi for attempting to save her and the incident is the start of her attraction to him. |
||
| + | |||
| + | As Emi starts to tell Bob of all the complementary things Mitsuomi has said about him, and how pointless the training Maya is putting him through is, Madoka pops back up and stabs Emi in the back with her S.A.B.B. acetylene gas blades. Madoka then attacks Bob, stabbing him in the chest as well. She claims she came on an errand and will not leave empty handed. |
||
| + | |||
| + | Masataka arrives, places his hand on Bob's shoulder and blasts ki through him. Bob is unharmed, but Madoka is sent flying into a building. Madoka gets up and cuts off all her clothes except her bra and panties. Bunshichi reveals it's a brilliant strategy, clothes can transfer the impact of a blow to your body, make you easier to grab, and restrict movement. Masataka remains calm appearing to not "heat up" at all, but on the inside he's freaking out that she's almost naked. Madoka realizes Masataka's strength, and thinks he may be the strongest person she has ever faced. Madoka thinks of her love for Sohaku, and her plans to marry him, being distracted leaves her open. Masataka finishes the fight with his next blow. |
||
| + | |||
| + | Madoka is captured and taken the Juken club's room for interrogation. [[Kagesada Sugano]] tries tickle torture to no avail. As the Juken club discusses Bob's injuries, Madoka coughs up a rolled up blade she had hidden inside her body. She cuts her restraints and attacks Masataka. Aya destroys the blade and slices the amulet around Madoka's neck in half. Aya claims the amulet has a different "energy" than Madoka, and dragon/demon illusions pour forth form it. Aya reveals it is a type of magic Madoka has been under some form of mind control. She then reveals the secrets of F to the Juken club. |
||
| + | |||
| + | The undead [[Fu Chi'en]] under the same manipulation jutsu as Madoka later attacks the Juken club. Masataka protecting the data chip, flees with Madoka to Bunshichi's store. Bunshichi is hesitant to help, given his nature. Masataka decides to try and handle it himself, but want Madoka to stay in Bunshichi care. Madoka fears that Masataka might be killed. Eventually Bunshichi does offer his help, but in the end Masataka actually wins the fight on his own. He even prevents Fu Chi'en's suicide attack, that would have killed everyone (including the observers [[Tetsuhito Kagiroi]] and [[Katsumi Kabuto]]). Despite the fact Masataka is his enemy, Tetsuhito deemed him a worthy opponent. To show his gratitude, he uses his [[Dragon's Palm]] to heal Masataka and Madoka. When Katsumi tells Madoka it is time to go back, Madoka picks Fu Chi'en's broken blades and refuses. Katsumi starts to yell at her, but Tetsuhito interrupts pointing out Sohaku's jutsu is already wore off. The majority of the Juken club spends the night at Bunshichi's that night, and Madoka feels the next day is like the first day of her life. |

| ⚫ | |||
| + | Later Madoka sees [[Noriko Shindayu Inue]]'s car outside of Toudou academy, she knows something is not right. She goes to investigate, on her way up she encounters Noriko fleeing from Mitsuomi. Noriko uses her Dragon's Roar to control Madoka and have her attack Mitsuomi as a distraction. Once Madoka regains control, she and Mitsuomi take Noriko's car to meet the Juken club. Mitsuomi recommends a joint venture to rescue Souichiro from Sohaku, and kill Sohaku. Maya agrees and they head out. |
||
| + | |||
| + | They rescue Souichiro as he and [[Tessen Ishiyumi]] are about to kill each other. Mitsuomi manages to get Tessen to regain his sanity, and they also have Shizuru Kamura on their side now as well. As they go further into Sohaku's estate they reach the Soul's Echo Spirit Barrier (a gate inside Sohaku's estate). Tessen helps Shizuru battle the "double headed goblins", a group of people that protect the gate. Mitsuomi, Maya, Souichiro, and Madoka proceed ahead, while Shizuru and Tessen distract the double headed goblins. |

| + | Madoka and Souichiro attack Sohaku yet are hesitant to actually kill him for some reason. Mitsuomi doesn't share the feeling and promptly beheads Sohaku. Later after assisting Maya, Mitsuomi sends Madoka back with [[Reiki]] to assist Tessen and Shizuru. What exactly happens there is not shown, but later on it is learned that she was the only one not hospitalized after the fight and she attributes her lack of injury to the power of Reiki. |

Madoka proves herself to be to powerful as it takes Masataka Takayanagi, Mitsuomi's younger brother, to step up and defeat her. During this fight Emi was injured enough to be spend time in the hospital, but not enough to lose her form in public. After being released from the hospital, she is seen sitting on a curb with Bunshichi, Masataka, and others waiting to see the outcome of Mitsuomi and Maya going to kill Sōhaku Kago. |

During the Election tournament, she is seen using devious strategy to try to eliminate the Juken club. The reason for this is because she does not completely trust Bunshichi Tawara and Shinobu Kagurazaka, she also does not think that the Executive Council can win with the other members. However, Tagami, who dislike less than honorable tactics, ruins one of her plots by showing a late Masataka a shortcut to the battlefield where the Juken club is going up against the Archery Club. |

Madoka Mawari (圓 円, Mawari Madoka) is a character in the manga series Tenjou Tenge. She is a member of F, but she now sides with the Juken club.
Character outline
Madoka is a middle school student, so unlike most of the characters she is not enrolled at Toudou academy. She is the current head of the Mawari family, a White Feather family with expertise in swordsmanship. She is a very carefree, kind girl. She seems to like sweets as when she and Aya Natsume bought ice cream for the group, she tried to run off with it all herself. She tends to refer to people with cute nicknames consisting of abbreviations of their surnames with a Japanese honorific, such as mi-chan, te-chan, mata-kun, and kabu-rin.
In her initial appearance, Madoka was quite different. Since at the time as she was under a manipulation jutsu cast by Sohaku Kago. While under his influence, she had reduced sensitivity to pain and was incredibly determined. The spell also convinced her she was in love with Sohaku, but after be freed from it, she views him as an enemy that killed her parents. Madoka is not the only surviving member of her family as someone with her last name assists Souichiro Nagi in his training.
After her subsequent release from manipulation jutsu, she actually assists the Juken club and develops a crush on Masataka Takayanagi. Masataka is oblivious to this crush. Madoka herself doesn't seem to have a good understanding of such things as she didn't understand why Shizuru Kamura views Maya Natsume as an enemy. Madoka agrees to assist the Juken club in anyway despite the fact she can't actually compete in the election tournament. It seems she is doing so not only because she is a good person, but also to catch Masataka's attention. She is present at the fight between Masataka and Souichiro Nagi in his Susano form. After the tournament she is seen training with the Juken club and its new members. In a flash forward she is seen going to meet Bob for training with his child.
Synopsis
Manga
It is revealed that the Takayanagi family has historically been supported by the 12 founding families. Mitsuomi's takeover disturbed this setup, displacing most of the family heads. A new alliance has formed with the assistance of Sohaku, calling itself "F". Madoka is a member of F, and unlike the majority of F she actually considers Sohaku her enemy.
F Arc
As Bob Makihara goes out for a run one day, Madoka appears behind him. Mitsuomi, Bunshichi Tawara, and Shinobu Kagurazaka observe the fight. As Madoka goes to attack, Bob immediately kicks her claiming she stuck out given her unusual dress. To his surprise he realizes Madoka had already sliced his thigh. Bob attempts to upset her and gain an advantage through various sex references and poking her breast, but to no avail. Bunshichi points out Mitsuomi has quite a bit of interest in Bob, as Mitsuomi taps a beat on the window sill. Mitsuomi wants Bob to show what he is truly capable of and prove he is the warrior Mitsuomi thinks he is. Bob has already sustained significant wounds, but as Madoka goes to leave Bob grabs her legs. Since Souichiro beat a member of F on his own, Bob is determined to do the same or least take her out with him. He climbs on top of her and tries to beat her, but nearly gets his jugular cut instead. As Bob stumbles back Madoka pulls a whip-sword out, that was wrapped around her leg. Bob believes he will be killed and can do nothing to avoid it and his mind goes blank.
Next thing Bob knows, he has avoided the attack. He realizes he is feeling vibrations through the ground, and by going by the "beat", he can avoid Madoka's attacks despite the fact they are too fast for his eyes to see. As Bob uses his rhythm to continue to dodge the attacks, Madoka becomes very frustrated, even bursting into tears because she can't finish him off. At the same time, Bunshichi arrives at the Juken club's room and informs Masataka of the fight. Masataka heads out to help Bob.
Emi Isuzu enters the fight as it is disrupting the order of the school. Emi's interference just frustrates Madoka even more. Emi uses her blades to stop the whip-sword from coming back together, Bob then uses the segments of blade as steps to run up and kick Madoka in the face (shattering her other blade in the process).
As Emi starts to tell Bob of all the complementary things Mitsuomi has said about him, and how pointless the training Maya is putting him through is, Madoka pops back up and stabs Emi in the back with her S.A.B.B. acetylene gas blades. Madoka then attacks Bob, stabbing him in the chest as well. She claims she came on an errand and will not leave empty handed.
Masataka arrives, places his hand on Bob's shoulder and blasts ki through him. Bob is unharmed, but Madoka is sent flying into a building. Madoka gets up and cuts off all her clothes except her bra and panties. Bunshichi reveals it's a brilliant strategy, clothes can transfer the impact of a blow to your body, make you easier to grab, and restrict movement.

Madoka is captured and taken the Juken club's room for interrogation. Kagesada Sugano tries tickle torture to no avail.

Aya destroys the blade and slices the amulet around Madoka's neck in half. Aya claims the amulet has a different "energy" than Madoka, and dragon/demon illusions pour forth form it. Aya reveals it is a type of magic Madoka has been under some form of mind control. She then reveals the secrets of F to the Juken club.
The undead Fu Chi'en under the same manipulation jutsu as Madoka later attacks the Juken club. Masataka protecting the data chip, flees with Madoka to Bunshichi's store. Bunshichi is hesitant to help, given his nature. Masataka decides to try and handle it himself, but want Madoka to stay in Bunshichi care. Madoka fears that Masataka might be killed. Eventually Bunshichi does offer his help, but in the end Masataka actually wins the fight on his own.

Despite the fact Masataka is his enemy, Tetsuhito deemed him a worthy opponent. To show his gratitude, he uses his Dragon's Palm to heal Masataka and Madoka. When Katsumi tells Madoka it is time to go back, Madoka picks Fu Chi'en's broken blades and refuses. Katsumi starts to yell at her, but Tetsuhito interrupts pointing out Sohaku's jutsu is already wore off. The majority of the Juken club spends the night at Bunshichi's that night, and Madoka feels the next day is like the first day of her life.
Sohaku Arc
Later Madoka sees Noriko Shindayu Inue's car outside of Toudou academy, she knows something is not right. She goes to investigate, on her way up she encounters Noriko fleeing from Mitsuomi. Noriko uses her Dragon's Roar to control Madoka and have her attack Mitsuomi as a distraction. Once Madoka regains control, she and Mitsuomi take Noriko's car to meet the Juken club. Mitsuomi recommends a joint venture to rescue Souichiro from Sohaku, and kill Sohaku. Maya agrees and they head out.
They rescue Souichiro as he and Tessen Ishiyumi are about to kill each other. Mitsuomi manages to get Tessen to regain his sanity, and they also have Shizuru Kamura on their side now as well. As they go further into Sohaku's estate they reach the Soul's Echo Spirit Barrier (a gate inside Sohaku's estate). Tessen helps Shizuru battle the "double headed goblins", a group of people that protect the gate. Mitsuomi, Maya, Souichiro, and Madoka proceed ahead, while Shizuru and Tessen distract the double headed goblins.
Madoka and Souichiro attack Sohaku yet are hesitant to actually kill him for some reason. Mitsuomi doesn't share the feeling and promptly beheads Sohaku. Later after assisting Maya, Mitsuomi sends Madoka back with Reiki to assist Tessen and Shizuru. What exactly happens there is not shown, but later on it is learned that she was the only one not hospitalized after the fight and she attributes her lack of injury to the power of Reiki.
Tournament Arc
As the tournament approaches, Madoka again appears insisting she has to go with Masataka and Aya as they go to buy things for the group, and check Bob out of the hospital. She plans to provide the Juken club assistance in anyway she can, but as a middle school student she can't actually compete.
Madoka spends most of her time along side Mrs. Hotaru as she attempts to heal Maya, although Madoka dislikes Mrs. Hotaru's smoking. Later when Bunshichi arrives and plans to take Maya, Madoka does nothing, believing Maya would have wanted to go with him. Mrs. Hotaru asks why she didn't just hold him off for five minutes while she got backup. Madoka reminds her that five minutes with Bunshichi is no simple task and being that he is the strongest physical fighter in the school she would stand no chance at stopping him.

Mitsuomi Takayanagi says Madoka is the best in the strongest fencing class. She is by far the best with a sword of any character, far surpassing Maya and Aya.

Most of Madoka's blades are unique, but some stand out as worth mentioning.
- S.A.B.B Acetylene Gas Blades: Combines highly compressed oxygen and acetylene gas with assistive combustion. Basically a blade made solely of fire, much like the flame on a welder only it extends much further, similar to a lightsaber. The blade can exceed temperatures of 4,000 degrees. This appears to be Madoka's best weapon, as she only wields them when pushed into a corner.
- Whip-Sword: It initially appears to be a very large sword, but it can be broken into sections held together by two wires or some type of cords that run down the middle of the blade. This allows it to move similar to a whip.
