Saiga Fūrinji

Saiga Fūrinji (風林寺 砕牙 (ふうりんじ さいが), Fūrinji Saiga) is one of the two masters of Kajima Satomi. He is the son of the "Invincible Superhuman" Hayato Fūrinji, the husband of the late Shizuha Furinji, as well as the father of Miu Fūrinji. He is the last/lost hero of Ryōzanpaku. 
== Appearance ==
Saiga's exact appearance is tall and slim and wears a striped suit with a tassle around the middle. He slim in frame with a incredibly well-muscled Well-defined build his hair style is somewhat reminiscent of Akisame Kōetsuji's. His hair is blond like his father and daughter. He wears arm and leg gauntlets for battle. When disguised as John, he is a portly short man with short hair and a mustache. He wore a camouflage outfit and glasses. When disguised as Okamoto, he had dark hair in the back with long bangs on the side that frame his face. He is usually seen in nice suits.
== Personality ==
Contrary to the persona everyone has been led to previously believe, Saiga appears to in fact be a compassionate man, quite possibly still a follower of the Katsujinken, and possibly not even a member of Yami at all. All the aspects of "Saiga's" personality to be a ruthless killer and a man who murdered his own wife, were in fact a ruse by Senzui who the actual One-Shadow of Yami was while disguised as Saiga and was Shizuha's true killer as well. As seen in his few appearances so far, he cares deeply about his daughter Miu, and loved his wife Shizuha dearly. He desires the safety of his daughter, as well as revenge upon Senzui for the murder of Shizuha. He also seems to have a knack and genuine passion for training disciples, as seen during his time training Kenichi and his friends on the submarine while disguised as Okamoto. He believes that the resolve to protect someone is one of (if not the) most important things for a martial artist and encouraged Kenichi in his resolve to protect Miu. Later, he even entrusted the boy with his old armguards and told Kenichi that he trusts him to put his life on the line to protect Miu, showing that he is a man with great insight into the character and thoughts of others, much like his good friend Akisame.
The real Saiga (as opposed to Senzui) also appears to be quite merciful towards his enemies, and despite his overwhelming power and skill has only ever been seen to use no more and no less than the necessary strength to knock-out an opponent without killing them, unlike the overboard and show-off antics of his father the Elder (who of course never kills anyone, but tends to go quite overboard when he gets the chance). He has a highly analytic approach to battle much like Akisame, as seen when he fixes a man's arm then immediately gave the man a serum able to heal said arm. All of this would seem to indicate that Saiga is quite possibly still a follower of the Katsujinken, and that people like his father the Elder, and his old friend Akisame, only believed him to have become a Satsujinken due to Senzui's masterful frame-job while disguised as Saiga.
Despite only pretending to be a Satsujinken however, Saiga has walked down that path before, out of the grief of losing his wife. This was shown during the Eternal Sunset arc; after finding out that Senzui killed his wife, Saiga openly stated that his old friend needed to stop, and also stated that he wanted revenge. He showed great amounts of anger over his friend's betrayal, and actively attacked him in powerful and dangerous ways, akin to the way most Satsujinken martial artists fight. However, after watching Senzui's death from the missile fire, Saiga showed great remorse in his actions and showed regret in not being able to save his friend.
== Skills ==
Saiga is the son of the "Invincible Superman" Hayato Fūrinji where he was trained personally by him during his youth. Evidence points strongly to him being a Legendary Master just like his father, with abilities far beyond even those of Grand/Elite Masters like those of Ryozanpaku and the Shadow Nine Fists. His strong Katsujinken background and heritage of the Furinji Clan was enough to incite fear in even the Kuremisago, which arranged marriages between powerful fighters to carry on martial arts.
* Master Hybrid Martial Artist: As Saiga was personally trained by his father, Hayato Fūrinji, he is a powerful fighter of the Furinji Style as he was able to casually perform one of Hayato's famed techniques during his training of the Shinpaku Alliance. He was shown defeating several opposing Kuremisago agents without killing them, a testament to his abilities with Furinji-Style skills. His skills are great enough to narrowly defeat Senzui who was able, while disguised as Saiga and acting as the One Shadow, to defeat a skilled fighter like Akira Hongō with little effort, and later to defeat James Shiba with nothing more than two fingers. It would appear that Saiga and Senzui are possibly on the verge of becoming Legendary Masters as the mere shock wave from their clash of techniques was enough to blow away a massive steel fortified wall, as well as a huge chunk of the building they were fighting in. This being a level of destruction far beyond even that caused by Grand Master Class fighters. 
*Expert Teacher: Saiga is a great teacher as he was shown being able to fend off the entire Shinpaku Alliance with ease during training and by himself, he was able to train them all and greatly improve and sharpen their individual abilities and skills in preparation for war, which shows how remarkable of a teacher he is. He was also shown to have a decent amount of skill with weapons, as he was able to give the Shinpaku Alliance an incredible amount of Anti-weapons training within a confined space while they were training in a submarine. 
*Expert Infiltrator: Saiga has also shown to have great infiltration skills as he was able to easily knock out several soldiers without them knowing of his presence and leave them all incapacitated. Saiga was able to guide the Shinpaku Alliance with him during the infiltration without any of them alerting the soldiers before engaging Yomi. 
*Immense Strength: When fighting 5 master class opponents in Tidat, Saiga used just his fingers to stop them, showing remarkable physical strength and tossed them with ease. He can also clash evenly against Senzui, who was able to stop James Shiba's "Left Hand Counter" technique with only two fingers. His strength is so immense that when he and Senzui both unleashed special-techniques and clashed, the resulting shockwave blew away a reinforced metal fortified-wall, as well as a huge chunk of the building they were in, causing a level of destruction from a single attack that had only previously been demonstrated in the series by the Elder himself. During his visit to the Kuremisago village years ago, Saiga was able to casually balance one end of an enormous boulder with just his index finger while the other end was balanced by Senzui.
*Disguise Master: Saiga has great skills in disguises, such as how he disguised himself as John the mercenary and no one, even Silkwat Jenazad knew that he infiltrated his base. Even more amazing is that, despite being a powerful master who presumably usually lets off an immense ki, he was able to hide his ki when he was disguised as John, to an extent that even Shio Sakaki and Jenezad, who are both experienced masters, as well as Kenichi Shirahama, who came into close contact with him, did not sense his ki at all. Later, it was revealed that "Okamoto" was, in-fact, just another one of Saiga's disguises, further establishing his skills as a master-of-disguise. As Okamoto, he was able to keep his ki virtually hidden from the masters of Ryōzanpaku until he was spotted and was praised for this by Akisame Kōetsuji who despite not recognizing him, clearly knew that he was a master.
* Immense Speed: Saiga's speed is inhuman; he moved so fast that when he took down the five Tidat warriors, the coat he tried to place on Miu Fūrinji just floated in the air for a moment and he went back to the same spot having already defeated them. Even Kenichi Shirahama noted how even he couldn't catch his movements at all, despite the fact that he had been able to catch a good portion of Shio Sakaki's and Akira Hongō's movements during their fight in the previous arc and was soon afterward able to catch at least some portion of the movements in Hongou's fight against Silkwat Jenazad. This would seem to indicate that Saiga's speed is beyond even that of Grand Master class fighters.
* Immense Agility: Saiga has shown himself to be immensely agile where he was able to clash against Senzui while mid-air and propelled himself on multiple surfaces of their surroundings to stay airborne with complete control of his movements.
* Immense Endurance: Saiga also equally has powerful physical might where despite being grievously injured during his fight with Senzui, whose techniques were enough to destroy their surroundings, he was still able to continue fighting to obtain the missile detonator. Although he noted that with his injuries, he was unable to defend against both Senzui and Mihai Știrbey (who had arrived to assist Senzui) before Shigure Kōsaka intervened and defeated Mihai herself. Despite this, Saiga still had enough strength to make one last attempt at obtaining the detonator by performing a technique that involved moving his hand at a very high speed that created afterimages.
*High Intellect: Saiga is also very knowledgeable in medicine, such as treating Menang's arm after he twisted it and gave him a booster shot for treatment. Even Kenichi Shirahama noted how similar his treatments were to Akisame Kōetsuji's.
