Junpei is a Champion from Airlocked! season 3.
WARNING: Spoilers for Airlocked! season 3 follow.

Junpei Tenmyouji (天明寺 淳平 Tenmyouji Junpei) is an embittered veteran of what he calls "life-or-death games," having participated in no fewer than two before his appearance in Airlocked! As a result, while he has a lot of experience to offer his fellow Champions, he tends to be closed-off and prickly, only reliable in an investigation. Underneath that jaded shell, though, there's something still unshakably decent about him--and this sharp-tongued detective is only separated by two shots of whiskey from the lovable goofball he may once have been.

Claims regarding his psychic abilities have not been confirmed in the show itself. It is unknown whether that is due to the interference of the PIPs, that his powers really are weaker in isolation from other espers, or that he made his powers up.

He is a member of Ardyn Izunia's Kingsglaive and Yuuri Wakasa's partner.

Junpei's title, Champion Challenger, has yet to be officially clarified, but is thought to have something to do with his reckless personality.

According to Kip Larimer's categorization system, Junpei hails from Earth 7.

  • Junpei has participated in more life-or-death games than any other Champion.
  • Promotional content has confirmed his birthday is February 8, 2006.
