Kaede Tanimoto/Legacy

==Legacy==
Kaede's death and final words, along with his step-mother's possible deception and his rescuing from Hondo by Isshinsai Ogata, drastically altered and corrupted Natsu's innocent personality. This, along with his master Ma Sougetsu's training, made him into a cold hearted, ill-tempered individual. Later, when he meets Honoka Shirahama, he finds many similarities between her and his sister, and the two develop a very sibling-like relationship, though Honoka's clumsiness and childish nature frequently gets on his nerves. Kaede's last words also made him determined never to lose a single fight, which acted as motivation for him during his second fight with Honoka's brother, Kenichi and later in his death match with Chou Enshin.
