The Kaichukan are Keshuma City’s elite internal force. More than guards or soldiers, they’re a respected institution responsible for maintaining order, defending the city’s borders, and regulating internal movement.

Where do they operate and train?

Their influence runs deep. From their sprawling headquarters—complete with training grounds, watch towers, sleeping quarters, and a full command center—they oversee city operations and house their own educational program, one of the only structured learning systems available in Keshuma. Many citizens dream of joining, but entry is limited and highly selective.

What is their culture like?

Once inside, members form a tight, protective culture. They fight for control, for peace—and for each other.

What do they protect against?

The Kaichukan represent order as a form of purpose. To many, they’re heroes—upholding safety in a world that constantly threatens to fall apart. They stand guard against outside dangers like the Kazegami, and track rogue coders like the Kodaka, who threaten to destabilize the system.

What is the Final Bosu Prevention Branch?

<aside>

Their most critical—and least understood—responsibility is internal: They run the Final Bosu Prevention Branch.

</aside>

This department monitors the growth paths of individuals and intervenes when someone nears the Maxline—the point where inner trauma could manifest as a Final Bosu. Through regulation, observation, and emotional support, they try to catch people before they cross that threshold. They even operate Support Centers, where citizens can voluntarily seek help before their growth spirals out of control.

How do they view growth and peace?

To the Kaichukan, growth is something to manage carefully—not something to be rushed. Left unchecked, it can become dangerous—for the person, and for the system.
