Shachi: Difference between revisions

Editing a gallery
m "Shachi" can mean "orca" if written 鯱, but surely is not the intended meaning. Another transliteration of "Shachi" is 柘植, which is a proper name. However, Hokuto no Ken's characters all have their names in katakana, so it is not possible to determine the corresponding kanji nor meaning (in case they have).

: A foreigner to the Land Asura, he is the son of [[Akashachi]], a pirate who befriends [[Kenshiro]]. When he was a child, he was left behind at the Land of Asura after his father's crew were attacked and slaughtered by the [[Nameless Asura]]. He had the opportunity to leave Asura, but decided to stay in order to protect his girlfriend, [[Leia]]. Shachi learned [[Hokuto Ryū Ken]] under [[Jūkei]], because Shachi couldn't wait for the "saviour" to arrive. Shachi lost his humanity when he learned this forbidden art until he met Lin, whom he originally planned to use to lure Kenshiro and use him to defeat the three Rasho. He became feared across the land as {{nihongo|'''[[wikipedia:Rakshasa|Rakshasa]]'''|羅刹|Rasetsu}}, the [[wikipedia:Asura|Asura]]-devouring beast". To keep his identity secret, he disguised himself as a '''Boro''' (Boros are former Asuran warriors that had their limbs amputated), who served [[Alf]] of the Hourglass; and only revealed his identity to those he was going kill. After Alf's defeat, he continued to dawn the Boro disguised to help people in need usually taking them under the protection of Jukei. However, he also causes the capture of Lin by the hands of [[Kaioh]]. In the anime, after the defeat of Han he brings her personally to the first rasho, while in the manga he "hides" the girl in a location reputed as secret, but then Kaioh storms there kidnapping Lin. Shachi managed to be reunited with his father Akashachi before Akashachi was struck and killed by one of [[Kaioh]]'s arrows. At one point, he rips out his left eye as an offering to [[Hyoh]] to protect an injured Kenshiro and begins to wear his father's eye-patch. He dies from massive mutilation during his battle against Kaioh, dying in Leia's arms. In the anime, he has an upper piece of armor, absent in the manga.

== Abilities ==
Shachi is a practicioner of ''[[Hokuto Ryū Ken]]'' being the fourth disciple of Jukei. He has proven himself a very skilled fighter capable of killing many Shura by himself, earning the monicker of Rakshasa, the Asura-devouring Demon, and the fear of many Shura. Although not as strong as Kenshiro or the [[Rasho|Rashō]], he is more than capable of defeating Gunshō by himself albeit sometimes with great difficulty as he has to sacrifice one of his rib to defeat a powerful one like Kaiser.
 
Through his martial arts, he is capable of striking pressure points to have enemies' body compress before exploding violently. A tactical fighter, he analyzes his opponents in order to find openings he can exploit, and is also willing to take some damage himself in order to create those chances. Despite his skill, he is largely unable to truly master ''Hokuto Ryū Ken'' because he lacks substantial malice in his heart, and thus cannot employ the [[Matoki no Aura|Matoki]] which is central to the style's most powerful techniques. His most powerful technique revolves around throwing a barrage of Toki at the enemy.
