Mikiri max100

An Oni traitor originally known as Ura who has made his lair atop Mount Oe. Transformed by Dokyo into a fearsome Genma, he survives by allying himself with the strong, and has a thorough disdain for those he sees as weaker than himself. Drinking alcohol not only heals him, it makes him stronger, so he should be prevented from indulging his habit at all costs.

EntryShuten Doji (Gourd Drainer)

大江山を根城にしている 鬼の一族の裏切り者。 かつては温羅と呼ばれていた。 生きるためには強い者の下に つくことをいとわず、弱者を見下す。 酒を飲むことで肉体を癒し、強化する。 飲むことを阻止すれば有利に 立ち回れるだろう。 道狂の手によって幻魔と化している。
