NITEN Dōraku

Master Combatant

One of the greatest and most skilled combatants, Niten is the teacher of Hellados and Honō.

He possesses an ability similar to Cinereous, but instead of sensing an opponent’s danger level, Niten senses and studies their weaknesses. Unlike Cinereous, his ability is not instantaneous. It usually takes several minutes for Niten to fully understand an opponent, depending on their complexity.

Kinetic Swords

Niten can channel kinetic energy into his swords, charging his strikes with tremendous force. He can also release stored energy to push enemies away.

His swords can be thrown across long distances and recalled to his hands. He can also control one sword remotely while fighting with the other, allowing the floating blade to attack independently.

During an attack sequence, Niten can rapidly switch which sword he holds and which he controls remotely, creating a continuous flow of physical and airborne attacks. Hellados later adapted this technique for his floating spear attacks.

The longer Niten charges a sword, the more devastating its next strike becomes.

Signature Move — Perfect Strike

Once Niten has fully studied an opponent and identified their weaknesses, he can concentrate his stored kinetic energy into a single precisely targeted attack.

If executed successfully, the Perfect Strike can end the fight with one charged blow.
