Shinrabanshōman

**Shinrabanshō-man** (森（シン）羅（ラ）万（バン）象（ショウ）マン, *Shinrabanshō Man*) is the combined form of Shinra Kusakabe, Shō Kusakabe and Mari Kusakabe within Adolla.

## Appearance

Shinrabanshō-Man closely resembles Shinra Kusakabe. He retains Shinra's muscular build ,white pupils, spiky hair and particularly sharp teeth. His eyes are also noteworthy as his pupils are white instead of black. From Shō the features ash white hair and eyebrows, along with traits of Mari's demon Infernal form with his devil horns. Shinrabanshō-Man is shirtless but has black scarf-like creations floating around him that give the illusion of wings. These feature the white kanji that read 'Shinrabanshō Man'. Across his body appear shifting white markings that appear to be like flames, although the three rings around his wrists appear to be permanently part of his body.

## Personality

As the embodiment of hope and Shinra’s heroism the Shinrabanshō Man is an incredible optimistic and caring individual. Free from the anger and doubt that could cloud Shinra's mind, Shinrabanshō Man is a confident and bombastic persona who is absolute confidence in the victory of hope over despair. This clarity also allows him to counter the reasonings of the Holy Maiden and present arguments based on his own experiences that humanity can enjoy life if they desire it. The hero of hope has a very relaxed attitude towards ideas of fate, preferring to instead fight for what he finds interesting. Unlike Shinra his perpetual toothy grin is not a sign of nervousness but of his joy even in the most dire situation. He is also very empathetic and compassionate, acknowledging that the despair and doubts of the world are unrelenting and drive Haumea to extremes. Despite his astonishing power he is resistant to the idea he could be a God. Although the possibility concerns him he remains dedicated to the future and ensuring he saved the lives of the planet. He is adamant that Adolla is not a flame of destruction like the White Clad have espoused but an actual force of creation like the Tokyo Empire believed it to be.

## Abilities

Combining the souls of the Third and Fourth Pillars with the doppelgänger of The Evangelist grants Shinrabanshō Man god-like strength equalling or surpassing Haumea's union with The Evangelist. None of Haumea's attacks can harm this form, although it is unclear if Shinrabanshō Man attacks could harm her as he has no interest in direct combat.

**Emotional Empowerment:** Due to his status as the incarnation of the Savior, and the personification of hope, and being the antithesis of the Evangelist, Shinrabanshō-man uses positive emotions and feelings to augment his abilities, such as using his determination, willpower, and hope along with the hope of his Family to enhance his abilities similar to Arthur. Through this ability he can also transform negative emotions into hope, such as the Despair-based abilities of the Saint.

**Godlike Physical Abilities:** Shinrabanshō Man is able to effortlessly counter attacks that move at the speed of light. It is in fact unclear if Shinrabanshō Man can be physically harmed as all of Haumea's direct attacks failed to hurt him at all, including a blast resembling a nuclear explosion and simply grabbing a ball of energy that should destroy all life before throwing it over his shoulder. He is also able levitate and glide through the air effortlessly. Notably he does not need to use Shinra's ability to propel himself using flames from his feet to do this and flight appears to come to him naturally.

**All of Creation:** Through the manipulation of Adolla, Shinrabanshō-man can manipulate, reshape, and warp reality by manipulate fire, heat, energy and matter in order to create Life and reshape the world. This is not limited to affecting himself as others managed but the ability to manipulate the entire universe, instead of separate objects or beings. He first used the ability against Haumea to transform her black flames into flowers before stomping the ground to create a flower field and water. He is able to recreate animals long lost after the cataclysm but these are limited to his own memory and imagination. Resulting in some being less realistic than he intended. Using the power of the Evangelist as fuel he is able to create mountain ranges, a working atmosphere, ecosystems and completely re-construct the Tokyo Empire from rubble. Although he claims it Took multiple attempts to get the buildings stable.

**Time Manipulation:** Shinrabanshō-man obtained an evolved variation of the Severed Universe ability without its drawbacks although with Shinra's ability to move at Light-Speed. Instead of significantly slowing down time, he manipulates it as a predetermined construct, allowing him to reverse and fast-forward the timeline as well as completely stop it in its tracks. He first used the ability to create life through the Light of Despair that Haumea used on him, though first explains using the ability to revive humanity,Shinra's speed with this ability is so fast that not even Haume with the power of the Evangelist could see it.

**Metaphysical Abilities:** Shinrabanshō-man's ability to shift reality allow him to manipulate life and souls. Using the flames and tears of the Holy Maiden of Despair although with own incredible abilities allows him to not only revive extinct animals and create entire lush forests but revive every single human who was killed during the cataclysm and also those who were either turned into Infernals or murdered over the course of series. Including those who committed suicide and Raffles Smith, who was murdered over 200 years ago. The exceptions at this resurrection are currently unknown besides the Pillars who were killed by Haumea as she absorbed their souls. These feats of reality manipulation are compounded by Shinrabanshō-man fundamentally altering the laws of physics, allowing body parts be severed and reattached with ridiculous solutions. He claims that he metaphysically changed the relationship between life and death, devaluing life and making death less threatening in order to reduce the despair it creates in humanity.

## Trivia

* Multiple cover pages across the series depict Shinra as a red devil due to his negative reputation. The irony being that Shinra's ultimate heroic form is that of a red devil he denied being.
* Although the transformation and end result are radically different, the process of the Kusakabe family combining their abilities, Soul Resonance, is a very direct reference to the author's pervious manga Soul Eater.
