Mikiri max180

A warrior monk famed for his superhuman strength who was once Yoshitsune's most trusted retainer, but has been brought back by Dokyo as a mindless Genma. One false move, and he's liable to flatten you. And if you can't shatter his armor, you won't be able to so much as scratch him.

義経の生前の腹心。かつては怪力の僧兵として広く知られていたが、道狂に改造され幻魔となっておりすでにほとんど自我がない存在になっている。一手間違えれば即座に劣勢に立たされるだろう。全身に鎧をまとっており、鎧を破壊しなければ傷を与えるのも困難だろう。
