Kusaka Kori/Fusions

Rōnin Kori
Rōnin Shiba is the entity born from the fusion of Kusaka and his brother-in-law Kenji, who first made an appearance to destroy Arturo in vengeance for his killing of Yoshiro Kazuki. He sported brown eyes with green and violet edges near the edge of the iris, with long flowing black hair in a style similar to Kenji's. His clothing consisted of a white kosode, black hakama and a white haori draped over his shoulders. His personality, aside from his violence which is equally picked up from both fusees, is relatively unknown. He demonstrated a no-nonsense attitude and coldly executed Arturo shortly after they began fighting, showing he does not like to draw things out.


 * Zanjutsu: Rōnin's skill with a blade is considered beyond the level obtainable by one person in a single lifetime. His speed, strength, skill and experience are so advanced that he was capable of completely dominating Arturo; at times he even managed to cut Arturo deeply when the latter had thought he had parried successfully. The sheer speed of his attacks are such that one cannot tell they have been struck until the blood bursts from their wounds.


 * Shunpo: Rōnin's speed is remarkably swift. He was capable of easily traversing a three-mile radius in a single step as well as completely outpace Arturo's Sonído during their battle; to the point Arturo couldn't tell when he'd been attacked or how many times.


 * Energy Wave: Rōnin was capable of producing an energy wave that combined the Jitsugen with the Reīssen; a combination that was so destructive it obliterated Arturo's entire body when used at point-blank range, despite the strength of the latter's Hierro. It appears to be Rōnin's signature offensive technique.
