Sōichi Mogami (最上 宗一, Mogami Sōichi ?) was a member of Old Border and Yūichi Jin's mentor[1][3] who sacrificed himself to make the Black Trigger Fūjin.[4][3]
Appearance[edit | edit source]
Mogami wears a pair of sunglasses atop his head and has slicked-back fair hair.
Personality[edit | edit source]
He was a very close friend of Yūgo.[1] He also disliked conflict, and wished for co-operation in Border.[3]
History[edit | edit source]
Mogami was a former Border Agent, and one of Border's founders.[3][1] He also was Yūgo's rival.[1] He used to be Jin's mentor.[1] He used his life to make a Black Trigger, the same trigger which Jin formerly used.[4]
Plot[edit | edit source]
At a certain point in time before the start of the series, he joined Old Border.[2] He later participated in the mission around five years ago which killed him and nine of his friends.[5]
Black Trigger Capture Arc[edit | edit source]
Yūma mentions him as the acquaintance his father had in Border.[1] Director Rindō reveals that he died 5 years prior to the current events.[4] after creating Fūjin.[4]
B-Rank Wars Arc[edit | edit source]
When asked by Osamu about the current whereabouts of the members of Old Border[5], Yuri points doesn't point out Mogami as he was one of the ten who died.[5]
Abilities[edit | edit source]
Having taught Jin, one of Border's most powerful agents, how to fight with Triggers[3], and having been Yūgo's rival[3] when the latter was as strong as Shinoda currently is,[6] Mogami was undoubtedly an extremely skilled fighter. His ability to create a Black Trigger implies that he possessed a large amount of Trion.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- In a photograph of Old Border, Mogami is depicted standing next to Shinoda and Jin.[7] His sunglasses and slicked-back hair are also similar to what Jin will wear later on.

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: Out of the current characters, who is about as strong as Yūgo?
A: Yūgo was as strong as the current Shinoda. Four years ago, Yūgo would have been stronger, but Shinoda trained every day and caught up.
