Mushogatake Yosuga

==Summary==
Mushogatake Yosuga 「無生ヶ嶽縁 Mushōgatake Yosuga」 comes from the Koshu Domain in the Land of The Rising Sun, where he has always been recognized as the strongest person since childhood. Ryuuda Ryuudou, who is from the neighboring Domain, is the only one considered worthy of being Yosuga's rival.
One day, a deadly disease outbreak swept across the two provinces where Yosuga and Ryuuda resided. The illness was fatal to those with low magic power, and the only known cure was a rare herb called the soul-quickening grass, which was extinct in their region. To find a cure, they had to use a hidden power within the Land of the Sun called the Tengenstu. However, the only way to acquire the power was to sacrifice all of one's yoryoku. Although Yosuga was afraid of losing all his yoryoku, Ryuuda accepted the terms and found the cure, saving both their lands.
Although Yosuga was upset that he had lost his only rival, he recognized Ryuuda's noble character. This led him to decline the offer to become the Shogun and instead join the Ryuzen Seven.

Additionally, Ryu recognized Yosuga's exceptional abilities and believed that he was the only one capable of assisting Asta in executing a flawless Zetten slash.

Ki: Yosuga is able to manipulate his own ki, increasing it dozens of times to enhance his physical abilities. Reading one's ki allows ki sensers to sense the target's emotions and true intentions but also predict their opponents' next moves and easily dodge attacks. This can also be used on lifeless objects. (Used for Ki Manipulation, Enhanced senses, Information Analysis and Precognition)
*Zetten: The technique's name literally means "sky-severing" and comes from the creator's legendary feat of splitting the sky with the technique. Yosuga is capable of manipulating his ki to concentrate his Yoryoku in his body and subsequently release it in a single attack. By concentrating it into his arms and legs, he can increase the power of his palm thrusts and kicks, as well as his sword slashes. The increase given by zetten is enough to affect even areas hudreds of meters away, or attack almost several times in a single strike. There are different ways of using Zetten; for example, some people split their power output between two strikes at 50% output each, while others use five strikes at 20% each (Used for Ki Manipulation, Strength Amplification and Speed Amplification)
