Description
Hagakure Shido, the green Sword Eyes of Light, hails from a ninja village near Lemurion where he masters Yamabiko ninja arts. He possesses dark brown hair, dark eyes, and wears a signature green ninja outfit accented by a red and gold forehead protector, green scarf, and red armbands. His personality blends sneakiness with underlying loyalty; he uses underhanded tactics initially for personal gain but demonstrates strong protective instincts for the forest and those who earn his trust, frequently punctuating his speech with "de gozaru". His core motivation is acquiring the Sword of Judgment to bypass conventional training and gain higher village status.
He shares a profound bond with Hayatemaru, a giant bird closer than a brother. This drives key actions, including battling Rirove to prevent Hayatemaru's use as an alchemy ingredient, though he loses. When Atlantia's forces threaten his home village of Kolga, Hagakure returns to defend it, learning of its struggle against Sora, brainwashed by Atlantia. Confronting Rirove again within the Green Deity Sacred Tree, he obtains his Sword Brave and defeats Rirove under the condition Suou be freed. As Kolga's 100th challenger, he then defeats Sora, momentarily weakening the brainwashing before Sora's recapture.
Hagakure's character evolves significantly. Initially focused on shortcuts, he gradually embraces responsibility, evident in protecting Suou and aiding Tsurugi. During the final conflict against Garudos, he contributes strategically by providing Tsurugi with key cards like Shinobi-Chuuhi and Kengokiji while diverting enemy forces from evacuation arks. In the epilogue, he resumes training with fellow ninjas, committing to the traditional methods he once sought to avoid.
In battle, Hagakure utilizes a green charge deck featuring winged beast spirits. Key cards include The LightFangPhoenix Rekkuumaru and The HurricaneTwinBlade Kamui-Hayate, each summoned with distinctive catchphrases. His battle record includes losses to Rirove and Tsurugi, victories over Rirove, Sora, and Kizakura, and an undecided match against Haqua.
The manga adaptation presents variations: he first encounters Rirove over Hayatemaru, joins the Sword Eyes of Light afterward, and witnesses Bringer's capture. His Sword Brave manifests in the Green Deity Sacred Tree while shielding Suou from an attack. After defeating Rirove, he emphasizes learning from mistakes, and Suou departs independently. The manga concludes with Hagakure embarking on another journey with the Sword Eyes of Light.
His name, translating to "hiding in the leaves," reflects his ninja identity. His background includes parental absence, though specific family details remain unspecified.
