Description
Hagakure Shidō embodies the green Sword Eyes of Light, hailing from Kolga village near Lemurion. He masters Yamabiko ninja arts and relentlessly pursues the Sword of Judgment to shortcut his training and ascend effortlessly in status. His character weaves opportunism with fierce loyalty; he deploys cunning tactics for personal advancement yet stands unyielding in protecting the forest and trusted comrades. Central to his identity is his profound bond with Hayatemaru, a giant avian companion he cherishes deeper than kinship.
Early conflicts see him shielding Hayatemaru from Rirove Rakels, the purple Sword Eyes of Darkness, who covets the bird for alchemy. Though defeated initially, Hagakure later duels Rirove within the Green Deity Sacred Tree to liberate Suou Rakels, triumphing after awakening his Sword Brave. This clash marks his evolution from self-serving ninja to one risking everything for others. When Atlantia invades Kolga village, he returns to defend it, strategically overpowering Sora Ryuyo—brainwashed into serving the Sword Eyes of Darkness—to demonstrate his tactical growth.
In the climactic battle, Hagakure joins the ritual to summon the Sword of Judgment, clashing with Gordy Dain. During the final onslaught against Garudos Randall, he aids Tsurugi Tatewaki by supplying critical cards like Shinobi-Chuuhi and Kengokiji while evacuating civilians. His journey ends with a return to Kolga for continued ninja training in the anime, while the manga sends him adventuring alongside fellow Sword Eyes of Light.
He wields a green charge deck focused on winged beast spirits, featuring key cards The LightFangPhoenix Rekkuumaru and The HurricaneTwinBlade Kamui-Hayate. His battle cries often include the verbal tic "de gozaru." His attire remains uniform: a green ninja outfit accented by a red-and-gold forehead protector, armbands, and scarf.
Manga adaptations introduce slight variations: his first clash with Rirove occurs earlier, and he obtains his Sword Brave while defending Suou from Rirove’s assault, cementing his protector role. Core motivations and relationships remain unchanged across both narratives.
