The Shinpaku Alliance is an organization of Disciples created by Haruo Niijima in order to gain power and facilitate his goal of world domination. Which inevitably created a rivalry between them and Yomi.
The alliance was first introduced when Niijima comes to Kenichi's rescue in his fight against Kisara's group. It is formed by a motley crew of individuals: from refined martial artists seeking powerful opponents to expand their scope of experience to loyal pawns whose loyalty was garnered by a leader (Niijima) adept at fabrication. Those unskilled in fighting are trained by Niijima for information gathering. The organization itself has a signature gesture, which is done with the right arm performing a spinning motion at the front and then stops with the fingers outstretched and palm facing outward, and the pinky finger separated from the rest of the fingers. It is interesting to note that, as of the current time, the Alliance is comprised mostly of school students from Kōryō High School and converted ex-members from Ragnarök.
The group is led by Haruo Niijima who supervises the activities of the group. Notable Shinpaku members include Shirahama Kenichi (honorary captain), Ikki Takeda (The Puncher), Kaname Kugatachi (Freya), Hibiki Kugenin (Siegfried), Chiaki Yūma (Thor), Kisara Nanjō (Valkyrie), Taichi Koga (The Kicker) who was a former member and The Thrower. Miu Fūrinji is not an official member of the alliance (Kenichi was unaware that he had never invited her to a meeting) and would only appear when they needed help. After Renka Ma transferred to the school, she officially joined the alliance. Loki and Number 20, who opened a detective agency after Ragnarök disbanded, although not part of the Shinpaku Alliance, will often work for Niijima who is main their employer. Yami and Yomi consider the Shinpaku Alliance as part of Ryōzanpaku.
Organizational Structure[]
It has various different sectors and divisions such as the music division, info division, Chinese affairs division, weapons division, and the fashion division. It is thought that it has some form of trade and business division as on the last chapter there is a photograph of Niijima, surrounded by other businessmen this implies heavily that the Shinpaku alliance is now a globally recognized organization.
Commanders[]
Some of the most prominent Shinpaku Alliance members.
The Commanders are ranked as the Alliance's most capable fighters, besides Kenichi, and thus in lead of the Alliance's activities right after Nijima. A majority of them were former Ragnarök members until the said organization broke up and Nijima started recruiting some of their more capable members for his cause. Only Ukita and Shiratori are given the rank of Vice-Commander as they are regarded as not nearly as powerful as the others in terms of combat ability but are combatants no less. The main force of captains is very powerful but not as powerful as Expert and Master class fighter. All Captain and Vice-Captains are High Class Disciples and Middle Class Disciples.
Finances[]
It was once funded by its own party members and relies on management skill of Haruo Niijima, this was especially distinctive when the Ryōzanpaku went bankrupt, the entire Shinpaku Alliance was then funded entirely by Siegfried such as being able to afford Kisara's old base to use as headquarters. However, now that the corporation has expanded to such a great extent, it is now self-sufficient and able to sustain itself, through the music division, fashion division and possibly other divisions and sectors that it has. It has constant and persistent financial and commercial success seen when Matsui and Kurokawa are on computers and Matsui reports that they have improved again this month, bringing them closer to their goal of shares of the organization to the public.
