Description
Shiro Inukai operates as a member of the Obsidian Eight within the world of Orient. Hints of past traumatic abandonment by friends linger in his background, though specifics remain undisclosed. His actions are driven primarily by an obsessive pursuit of the Obsidian Goddess.
He possesses a tall, muscular build with pale skin, short spiky silver hair, and distinctive golden eyes. Freckles mark his face, and he wears earrings in both ears alongside a large golden cross necklace. His typical attire consists of a dark shirt, trousers, a belt, and a black cloak.
Shiro exhibits a dual-layered personality: outwardly carefree, playful, and enthusiastic, especially regarding his fervent fascination with collecting and discussing Kitetsu swords. This masks his true nature as a ruthless, pragmatic strategist who employs manipulation and deception. He shows no mercy in combat, readily eliminating adversaries, despises cowardice, and respects displays of bravery. His smooth-talking demeanor adapts to situations, including using lies to further goals, such as deceiving Musashi during their first meeting. Psychologically categorized as an ISTP (Introverted-Sensing-Thinking-Perceiving), he emphasizes practicality, efficiency, and task-oriented focus, though displays rigidity and difficulty adapting to change. He also aligns with Enneagram Type 8w7 ("The Challenger"), characterized by assertiveness, protectiveness of allies, intense justice-driven actions, and underlying vulnerability tied to past traumas.
His combat prowess centers on his Kitetsu Blade, "Abyss" (無明, Mumyo), granting spatial transference and manipulation. This enables teleportation within a cubic force field, environmental reconstruction (e.g., inverting terrain or altering gravity), and offensive redirection. He casually teleports massive objects, including mountain ranges, and employs battlefield-scale techniques like relocating opponents into lethal environments such as deep ocean trenches or volcanic lava. His signature move, "Void," creates dimensional cubes to isolate foes. His soul manifests as rare "white," lacking elemental affiliations but granting unparalleled spatial control. He demonstrates high durability, surviving attacks capable of obliterating mountains, and his speed scales above Mach 4,000 based on comparative feats.
Shiro plays a pivotal antagonistic role. During the Daito Mine Arc, he manipulates Musashi into a pit to extract the Obsidian Goddess and slaughters resisting Bushi to pursue his sword-collection agenda. He observes Musashi's failed blade trial, reveals his own black aura to recruit him, and later battles the Obsidian Goddess after she manifests through Musashi, escaping her counterattack by carving a segment of the sky—a feat implying deeper world-manipulation potential. In the Awaji Island Recapture Operation Arc, he collaborates with the Obsidian Eight to protect the Kishin Yamata no Orochi, deploying oni against the Uesugi clan and capturing their leader. He engages Naotora Takeda in combat, showcases spatial abilities while dismissing common soul colors as inferior, teleports Musashi to Awaji Island, and strategically relocates bombs to sabotage enemy forces.
His character development remains consistent in pursuing the Obsidian Goddess and creating the ultimate Kitetsu Blade. While his backstory suggests unresolved trauma from abandonment, his core motivations and methods show no significant evolution. He persists as a primary antagonist leveraging spatial prowess and manipulation against protagonists and factions opposing the Obsidian Eight's goals.
