Jay

Jay is one of the 7 protagonists in Elixir, however, he is often viewed as the main protagonist of the 7. He is absent for a lot of the Abduction Arc, as a result of the fact that he is captured by Father and is in need of saving from his 7 friends, unaware that Shade is evil. He is part of and victorious in the final fight at the end of the 2-World War Arc, a fight which is often considered as the best in the show. He speaks the first and last words in the show, the first being "dear" and the last being "ends" in the quotes:

"Dear diary..."

"This is the story of Saruki, and this is how it ends."

He was killed temporarily twice in the show, once when he was shot at his execution, and the other when he was caught in the Underworld Tsunami and railway accident.
