Rei: Difference between revisions

When [[Jagi | the imposter with Seven Scars]] killed his parents and kidnapped his sister [[Airi]], Rei abandoned his humanity and roamed the wastelands as a lone wolf, surviving through any means necessary. Rei was hired by the [[Kiba Ichizoku|Fang Clan]] to infiltrate [[Mamiya|Mamiya's]] village as one of its bodyguards. However, Rei betrayed them and helped [[Kenshiro]] thwart them off, believing it would be wiser to side with the stronger side. Afterwards, Rei went to the hideout of the Fangs with Ken and Mamiya to defeat [[Kiba Daiō|their leader]]. However, the Fangs had managed to capture Airi from her previous captors and used her as leverage to coerce Rei into fighting Ken for them. However, Rei and Ken managed to trick the Fang Clan by striking each other's vital points at the same time, placing both of them in a temporary false state of death. After the Fang Clan was defeated, Rei was reunited with Airi.

Rei would become one of Kenshiro's most trusted allies. He exposed [[Amiba|Amiba's]] true identity at the [[Village of Miracles]] and accompanied Kenshiro to the city of [[Cassandra]], where the real [[Toki]] was imprisoned. Although Toki was saved, Rei was forced to rush back to Mamiya's village when he learned that [[Raoh|Ken-Oh's]] army was on the move. Rei fought [[Gallon|the leader of the invasion squad]] before going head to head with Raoh. However, Rei was defeated and struck in the vital point ''[[Shinketsushū]]'' sentencing him to three agonizing days to live.

After rescuing Mamiya from [[Medicine City]], Rei learned that she was once one of [[Yuda|Yuda's]] captives before she escaped and became the leader of her village. Swearing to avenge Mamiya's honor, Rei dedicated his remaining days to tracking down Yuda. However, Yuda managed to elude his pursuit, leaving Rei's struggle in vain. This was until Toki extended Rei's lifespan for one more day by striking the vital point ''[[Shinreidai]]'', which had the side-effect of transforming his hair white from the unbearable pain it caused. Rei entered the final showdown with Yuda, and after a treacherous fight, he triumphed with the technique ''[[Hishō Hakurei]]'', the Soaring White Splendor. After the battle, Rei tells Kenshiro to live on as the hope of the new world before spending his final night alone in a hut to spare his loved ones from his gruesome death. Afterwards, Kenshiro ignites the hut as a funeral pyre for his fallen friend.
