Mugen

Mugen is the second character of Shadow Tactics. He is the only samurai of the five selectable characters in both games of Shadow Tactics, and the only person to be able to kill other samurai in melee combat. He has a health bar that is three times larger than the other characters. Even though his speed is slow, he is able to kill as many enemies as Hayato can, and, even while running, he can carry two bodies at once, regardless of the type of enemy. However, his samurai armor prevents him from swimming or climbing around places.
== Personality ==
Mugen is a high-ranking samurai with a strong sense of duty, who is serving directly under the Shogun, being regarded as a trustworthy man whose honor knows no bounds. Mugen is respectful to everyone he meets, treating people with proper etiquette and honorifics no matter their origin. A very disciplined warrior, he lives and fights under the motto that a man is bound to his duty, and without it, life has no purpose.
He is responsible for gathering the small band of unlikely allies to serve the Shogun in the shadows and investigate the plans and whereabouts of the ellusive and mysterious Kage-sama. Mugen serves as the pillar of the group; his soft-nature, strong leadership and "gentle giant" demeanor earned him the respect of his peers. Despite his easygoing personality, he's ferocious in battle and is exceptionally skilled with the swordsmanship.
== Abilities ==
* Sake Bottle: Mugen can lob a bottle of sake in a small radius around him, which, when spotted by within an enemy's viewing range, will cause them to leave their post or patrol route and walk towards the bottle. Only one enemy can be lured at once, even if multiple enemies spot them bottle; the enemy who first notices it will be lured. In addition, only regular guards and civilians will walk towards the bottle; Straw Hats and Samurai will be briefly distracted, but won't leave their position. Mugen only carries a single bottle of sake; if a guard picks it up, the player must kill or knock the enemy in order to retrieve it.
* Sword Wind: Mugen spins his two katana, killing all enemies within its radius, up to four enemies at once. This is the second most powerful ability in the game for crowd control other than Takuma's bombs. Sword Wind won't affect Samurai, however, and it has the longest cooldown in the game.
* Matchlock Pistol: a small firearm with mid-long with a large noise radius around the user that instantly kill any kind of enemy, except for Samurai, who will damaged and fall on their knees for a few seconds, allowing executions. This pistol and Takuma's rifle are the only abilities capable of damaging Samurai enemies aside from Mugen's melee attack.
