Nameless Asura: Difference between revisions - Hokuto no Ken Encyclopedia

Line 22:

: The term Nameless Asura can be used to apply to other shuras who haven't earned a name. Falco derisively calls him {{nihongo|'''Sunagumo'''|砂蜘蛛||"Sand Spider"}}, which has become a popular nickname for the character.

== Appearance ==

He is a young man who has dark brown hair and almond-shaped eyes. His hair is styled into a cross between a long ponytail and a bowlcut, and he also wears an eerie looking mask that has no features on it besides a pair of eyeholes and six arrows pointing down and up painted onto it.

He wears a plated metal cuirass, a pair of vambraces with plates of armor over them, a pair of plated metal tassets, a plain pair of pants, and boots with plated metal armor over them.

== Personality ==

Like any other Asura, he is incredibly aggressive towards outsiders to the point where he will attack them on sight, and he is shown to be incredibly bloodthirsty, as he murdered 100 of Akashachi's crew members and maimed Akashachi himself, resulting in him losing an eye and a leg.

He also enjoys fighting strong opponents, as he said his blood was boiling while he was fighting Kenshiro, and despite this, he is more than willing to attack an already injured opponent as seen with his attack on Falco.

== Abilities ==

He has equally high strength, agility, and intelligence, and has mastered multiple weapons, ranging from extending staffs, shuriken, and throwing knives, among others.

His strength is so high that he can pierce through another man's body with his hands, which he incorporates into his Meppa Yōga technique.

He is also proficient at tactical thinking as he was able to come up with the idea of camouflaging himself using the soil around him.

==Trivia==

* [http://streetfighter.wikia.com/wiki/Vega Vega] (Balrog in the Japanese version) from the Street Fighter series ~~somewhat resembles~~ him, mainly due to the fact that both wear similar masks and ~~hairstyle~~.

* [http://streetfighter.wikia.com/wiki/Vega Vega] (Balrog in the Japanese version) from the Street Fighter series seems to be inspired by him, mainly due to the fact that both wear similar masks, have similar hairstyles, and also possess a similar fighting style involving their incredible agility.

* His nickname of Sunagumo is derived from the spider species known as the Six-Eyed Sand Spider, which notable for it's hunting behavior of camouflaging itself with sand and then ambushing it's prey, this behavior is similar to his Hama Sunagumo technique.

* [[Outlaw (Hokuto Musou)|Outlaw]] in the Hokuto musou games is known as Nameless Outlaw(名も無き悪党), which is very similar to Nameless Asura's title, perhaps to make them counterparts.
