Description
Muneshige Tachibana, a former student of Tres España's Alcalá de Henares Academy and husband of Gin Tachibana from the same institution, served as the 1st Special Duty Officer of its Student Council. He held the title of one of the Eight Great Dragon Kings through ownership of the Mortal Sin Armament Lypē Katathlipsē, embodying refined sorrow.
This blonde, blue-eyed youth presents a serious yet approachable demeanor. His modified Tres España uniform lacks sleeves, features a protective left-arm gauntlet, and incorporates reinforced leg protection with enlarged shin guards. A unique backpack stores pre-prepared Acceleration spells, releasing ether powder via four ranures upon activation.
His background traces to inheriting the García de Ceballos name, tied to Tres España's privatized postal system. To claim the "Muneshige Tachibana" name and "Peerless of the West" title, he dueled Gin Tachibana. Initially outmatched, he endured brutal defeats where Gin employed lethal methods like metal rods and poisoned food. Through weekly challenges and studying Tachibana techniques, García sharpened his skills. In their final duel, Gin's inadvertent warning allowed him to destroy her cannons, securing victory. This triumph liberated Gin from isolation, leading to marriage and her unwavering loyalty.
Muneshige's combat prowess revolves around extreme speed. As a polearm-specialized Strike Forcer and Proximity Military Arts User, he channels the García de Ceballos legacy—historically linked to high-speed delivery—to achieve unmatched battlefield velocity. This enables rapid positioning, amplified strikes, and instantaneous evasion. After inheriting the Tachibana name, he refined his speed to avoid self-injury, cementing his "Peerless of the West" status. The polearm-type Lypē Katathlipsē synergizes with his close-quarters mastery.
Personally, Muneshige radiates straightforwardness, honor, and reliability. Duty supersedes personal desires, and he displays combat compassion—sparing Futayo Honda post-victory or warning Musashi's crew before deploying his Armament. Yet he grapples with understanding women, fueling humorous friction with Gin, who desires greater assertiveness in their relationship.
During the Mikawa Meltdown Incident, Muneshige and Gin escorted Pope-President Innocentius. On April 20, 1648, he investigated an energy pillar at Shin-Nagoya Castle, clashing with Tadakatsu Honda. Despite wielding Lypē Katathlipsē—a refined iteration of Tadakatsu’s Tonbokiri—Muneshige’s inexperience led to a crippling leg injury and defeat. Gin evacuated him for treatment.
The next day, he attended a Tonbokiri handover ceremony between Tres España and Mikawa. To avert conflict with Futayo Honda, he confronted her. Though initially dominating the fight, Futayo exploited the severed "García de Ceballos" name—the source of his speed—through unorthodox Tonbokiri use, forcing his loss. She spared him, recognizing her father’s indirect contribution to her win.
These losses spurred Juana, Alcalá de Henares' Vice President, to strip Muneshige of his council role and "Peerless of the West" title. He remained unconscious during recovery as Gin tended to him. Tres España later schemed to trade his title for financial aid, motivating Gin’s failed bid to restore his honor in the Anglo-Spanish Armada War.
Muneshige awoke on June 7, 1648, discovering Gin had not returned from Musashi. He hastened there, proposing they relinquish their inherited names. He vowed to re-earn "Muneshige Tachibana" through strength, after which Gin would reclaim "Gin Tachibana." Both transferred to Musashi Ariadust Academy as exchange students, becoming Assistant Vice Chancellors.
