Description
Win Kirifuda is a blue-haired teenager initially portrayed at age twelve, passionately dedicated to the card game Duel Masters. He frequently stays up all night constructing decks and strategizing for tournaments. His attire includes an orange jacket with green cuffs, a black shirt featuring striped patterns, a green necklace with a card-shaped pendant, wrist pieces, white pants, and flip-flops. His personality blends naivety with unexpected strategic depth during duels; he firmly believes the game should be enjoyable and fun, a conviction that sometimes supersedes external expectations. This mindset enables him to resist corruption from darkness, exemplified when he revived the ancient entity Abyssbell = Jashin Emperor after drawing the card Fork = Fock during a tournament duel against Bowie Obochiyama. Despite Jashin's promises of absolute victory, Win asserted that victory relies not solely on powerful cards but on the duelist's skill, utilizing Jashin's effect alongside other creatures to win.
Later, around age sixteen, he enrolled at Maihama Academy, founded the Duema Saikou Club to promote enjoyable dueling, and participated in the Duel Wars tournament. Subsequently, under unexplained circumstances, he lost all memories of his past and began living alone in Shibuya. He attends high school, works part-time jobs like restaurant service (though struggling with basic tasks such as order accuracy), and maintains friendships, particularly with Niika, who is aware of his amnesia. He exhibits unexplained moments of physical prowess, like knocking out a bully with a single kick or running at superhuman speeds, hinting at latent abilities tied to his forgotten identity. These flashes of strength often occur during stressful situations or threats to his friends.
His memory loss attracts supernatural attention. A mysterious "Boundary Line" appears in Tokyo, revealing a ruined alternate world inhabited by dangerous creatures. Jashin contacts him through this boundary, declaring an imminent duel to "regain everything." He also encounters Crysta, a girl claiming they are engaged and belong to another world; she reveals his original world was destroyed, though the cause remains undisclosed. When Niika is kidnapped and crystallized by otherworldly entities, Jashin guides him to use his Duel Masters cards and shields defensively against these creatures. This confrontation leads him to obtain Crystal Cards—artifacts tied to his lost memories—which trigger fragmented visions upon contact, such as glimpses of his father and a childhood home in Shirahama.
In the ongoing "Gekka no Shinigami" storyline, he navigates high-stakes conflicts involving these Crystal Cards, illicitly traded on the dark web marketplace "Demon Lord" for sums like 15 billion yen. He confronts entities such as Ballom, linked to unexplained murders, and Imish Itzayana, an "ancient god" manipulating people by stealing their hearts. His journey centers on reclaiming his erased past while protecting his friends from escalating interdimensional threats, with Jashin continuing to communicate from the shadows and foreshadow pivotal duels.
