Chuutatsu Shibai, alias Kentei, emerges as a cunning antagonist across the *Ikki Tousen* franchise, mirroring the strategic brilliance of the Three Kingdoms’ Sima Yi. Masquerading as a paraplegic wheelchair user after losing her feet to Teni’s rampage, she weaponizes this deception to lull foes into underestimation. A dragon tattoo etched on her right hand pulses with chi, signaling her bond to supernatural forces. As Kyosho Academy’s shadow ruler, she orchestrates schemes to resurrect ancient warrior spirits, aiming to engulf the world in chaos. Her romantic entanglement with Sousou serves her ambitions, manipulating him to further her goals while coldly discarding allies like the injured Teni and disregarding Kyosho’s casualties.
In the manga, her machinations provoke Sousou—empowered by his dragon spirit—to nearly kill her, only for Kyocho to intervene. The anime diverges during the Battle of Chibi, where she abandons her wheelchair to crash a vehicle into enemies, unveiling her mobility. Confronted by Kanu, her body disintegrates as she merges her essence with Sousou’s power. Posthumously, her spirit lingers, hinted to reincarnate through a cloaked figure in *Xtreme Xecutor*, sustained by Teni’s fervent prayers. Manga lore later exposes her as Shikyo Gifu, a name echoing the historical Wei Feng.
Unwavering across all media, her motives center on exploiting the Dragon Jade to possess modern fighters with ancestral spirits, manipulating Sousou’s authority, and dominating Kyosho through calculated maneuvers. Blending feigned fragility with ruthless intellect, she endures as a persistent menace long after her apparent demise.
