Quick guess that Banchou is Souji?

Sure gives a totally different vibe till the last panel, eh?

Yes. Banchou is "leader" in Japanese.

More specifically, "banchou" usually refers to a gang leader. Souji was designed to look sorta like a leader of a gang of high-school punks (or perhaps a future yakuza) who often dress like his first persona, Izanagi.

Hence "banchou" has been his nickname on a lot of Japanese boards (similar to how /v/ differentiates between Minato and Souji via MC and protag, respectively)

Man, with his hair back it doesn't even look like him...

You're right, it looks like he actually has a personality.

Y'know, this comic brings up a good point--I never did realize we never see Seta's eyebrows.

he looks badass that way!

We all know that anyone with personality can't possibly be our Souji.

In the panel where Chie kisses his forehead, he turns into Lancer!
