Genpou Saji encompasses two distinct figures within the *Ikki Tousen* franchise. The primary character bearing this name is **Shishi Ouin**, who adopts it as an alias. A third-year student at Nanyo Academy and one of its "Big Four" A-rank fighters, his historical counterparts include Wang Yun and Zuo Ci. He has brown hair and wears the Nanyo uniform. His manipulative, arrogant nature manifests in overt flirtation and non-consensual groping of women. He shares a complex bond with Shimei Ryomou, whom he calls "Mou-chan," and harbors romantic feelings for both her and Housen Ryofu. His overarching aim involves destabilizing rivals, particularly targeting figures like Toutaku for elimination. In the **manga**, Ouin orchestrates Ryofu’s betrayal of Toutaku. Later, as "Ouin," he awakens Hakufu Sonsaku’s dragon, absorbing its negative energy to save her. This costs him his arm and infects him with corruption. Accepting death, he dies by suicide off a cliff, his final thoughts on Ryofu. In the **anime** (*Dragon Destiny*, *Great Guardians*, *Xtreme Xecutor*), Ouin’s actions turn more villainous. He engineers Enjutsu’s assassination via Kouha Kannei, driving Kannei mad. His attempt to control Hakufu for Kanto domination fails when Toutaku possesses her. After defeat, he seeks redemption and secludes himself. He resurfaces in *Dragon Destiny* to aid Nanyo against Kyosho Academy, fighting beside Ryomou at the Battle of Red Cliffs to help defeat Sousou Moutoku. Post-battle, he resumes womanizing but stays allied with Nanyo. In *Great Guardians*, he collaborates with the real Genpou Saji to provoke Ryomou’s dragon, secretly aiming to protect Ryomou and Ryofu. The **real Genpou Saji** is anime-exclusive, debuting in *Great Guardians*. A female toushi, she endured ostracization for her insect fascination and gothic appearance, breeding hatred toward others. Her potent genjutsu revives Ryofu and mind-controls fighters like Ryofu, Gentoku Ryuubi, and Hakufu, though prolonged use causes physical pain. Initially, she seeks Ryomou’s dragon by manipulating emotions—engineering a false romance between Ouin and Ryomou to incite jealousy. She despises love and friendship, striving to inflict suffering. She develops a crush on Ouin, viewing him as her sole understanding. After Hakufu shows kindness, her demeanor softens into care. By *Great Guardians*’ end, she lives with Chuubou Sonken, continuing under his care in *Xtreme Xecutor* for stability. Their stories converge in *Great Guardians*, where Ouin’s cooperation with the real Saji advances her scheme while covertly protecting Ryomou and Ryofu. This arc concludes with the real Saji abandoning her vendetta against humanity.
