Description
Hanzō Hyakki, an S-Class card battler in the Battle Spirits Warring States era, serves the Institution for Battle Spirits Administration (IBSA). He wields yellow attribute cards, specializing in magic-oriented tactics. His striking appearance features yellow spiky hair held by a dark purple headband, grey eyes, and a matching face mask. He wears black fingerless gloves adorned with red rings, a black shirt crossed by red belts, and a calf-length grey coat with yellow lining and torn shoulders. His attire includes black pants with silver belt buckles and red thigh rings, plus red boots with black laces. A yellow and black biwa, decorated with a small skull, rests on his back.
Personality-wise, Hanzō exhibits eccentricity, frequently quoting the Story of Heike and maintaining an imaginary friendship with his spirit partner, Fuurin. Unlike other S-Class battlers driven by ambition or rivalry, he battles purely for enjoyment, lacking deeper motives. His combat style leverages tactical magic cards, favoring psychological disruption over brute force.
Hanzō first appeared challenging Yukimura Rekka but suffered defeat. He later observed matches involving allies like Ranmaru Shikigami and Kanetsugu Houryokuin, visiting Kanetsugu in prison to expose Ranmaru and Toukichirou Mashira as the true culprits behind the Musashi disturbances. He also battled his student, Okuni Midoriyama, in a skill test, resulting in his loss.
During the national tournament finals, representing IBSA against Hokkaido, Hanzō defeated Suehiro Matsushiro. As IBSA's last standing battler after his teammates' losses, he faced Ranmaru Shikigami again and won, advancing to the quarterfinals. There, Kenshin Shirogane questioned his battle philosophy, prompting Hanzō to reaffirm his sole motive was personal enjoyment. He lost this match, ending his tournament run. Later, he supported allies opposing Nobunaga's plans and bid farewell to Nobunaga when he departed Japan with Toukichirou and Ranmaru.
His deck centers on spirits like Kyuubi Fox, Fuurin, and Inugami, augmented by magic cards including Angel Strike, Thunder Wall, Absolute Zero, and Hyakki Yakou. His battle record includes offscreen victories (e.g., against Murashige), losses to Yukimura and Okuni, tournament wins over Suehiro and Ranmaru, and a quarterfinal defeat by Kenshin.
His name alludes to the historical ninja Hattori Hanzō, while "Hyakki" (百黄) translates to "hundred yellow," reflecting his card attribute.
