Toshiki Minegishi

Minegishi (峯岸 Minegishi) is a powerful Esper, a former member of the terrorist organisation Claw, and once part of the Super 5.

Appearance
He wears a white jacket with a collar and two breast pockets, black pants with a white belt, and black shoes. His eyes are narrow and he has no eyebrows at all. His blond hair is parted in the middle. He appears to be the shortest of the Super 5.

Post-Claw arc, he is seen wearing an apron with a sunflower pronted on front when he is working under a florist. His hair is styled messier as contrast to his previously neatly parted hair. He also looks more tired.

Personality
He was first introduced with a mocking personality, considering others's attempt to stop Claw's world domination as useless. Holding himself in high regard, he can take on many enemies on his own and typically like everyone with psychic power, looks down on others. He is initially cold and merciless, as he uses his plants to strangulate and suck the life force of anyone caught by it, particularly Fukuda, Ootsuki and Higashio, whom he left for dead after fighting them.

It is stated by Mob that he doesn't seem to be the type who likes plants, to which he agrees, saying they are just tools only to be used. However, he is not a person with no gratification, as he saved Mob and the others after being saved by the former, even though he knew the consequences of his actions would be considered betrayal towards Touichirou. He also shows that he cares about his fellow Super 5, as he expressed his disgust at the boss's personality and no hesitance at discarding Serizawa after turning against him as well. He also shows relief when he saw Hatori is just fine.

However, some time after Mob's and Suzuki's Boss Fight, he became a bit soft and shows more concern towards plants instead of the usual lack of it. He is also quite perceptive and quick to catch on, as he is able to discern Fukuda's, Ootsuki's, and Higashio's power and roles just at their one use of power. And knew from the start on what kind of person Suzuki truly is. Also, he immediately knew that the Divine Tree's roots are absorbing nutrients from the plants and the cause of the widespread cracks throughout the city just by looking at a growing root and concluding from the sudden wilting of the flowers from the flower shop.

Plot
His first appearance is at chaper 81 (Super 5), subduing Miguel and another unnamed mercenary, asking Joseph not to make things more complicated than it is. He shows up again when Shimazaki warns them of potential esper enemies from society, sitting beside the kidnapped Prime Minister, using his plants as to bind him. When the operation for World Domination starts, Minegishi and Shibata was tasked to widen their conquered territory, meanwhile the rest protects the base. Later, he encounters Shou's group, claiming it was no surprise that he was part of the ressisstance, saying that it fitted him since he was undergoing puberty. Then, he fights all three of Shou's Subordinates showing sharp analysis about their power and their roles in combat, helping him find out their weak point. After he won, he stated if he wanted to, he can instantly grow an entire jungle through the aphsalt; he berates them on being overconfident at the fact they were once part of the HQ but reminds them that he is one of the Super 5. Minegishi tells them that betrayal is unforgivable, even if he's the Boss's son. He finally encounters Mob when he was fighting 30 of HQ henchmen, saving the ones levitating and notes that he found quite a special specimen, that they would not be able to handle him. He orders them to provide support as he battle him. It is shown he's gotten a bit serious when fighting him, using a venus fly trap and create a makeshift barrier using plants that simply absorbed Mob's attack. Noting Mob's surprise, he informs him that the plants grow with imbued psychic energy as much as he wants and attacks Mob again. Now his turn to be surprised, seeing first hand that the boy can do it too.

Powers & Abilities
Chlorokinesis: Minegishi has the power to psychically generate and manipulate flora which he does by growing them with his imbued psychic energy. He usually creates giant vines, tree-like structures and giant Venus flytrap-like plants and, by his own acclaim, he could grow an entire jungle through asphalt if he wanted to. This medium serves both as his offence and defence, which is both his strength and weakness. It was shown by Keiji Mogami that usurping dominance over the plants he controls renders Minegishi ultimately defenceless. If an Esper is ever caught by his plants, they will strangulate and drain their life force.
