# **Orochi**

*"I'd like to see you try, insignificant little whelp."*

--Orochi

### Appearance

Orochi is a built young man with thin, nearly soulless eyes. He wears light traditional samurai armor and a mask that makes him too edgy for his own good. He had no eyebrows for many years, but in Time Of Dying he grew a pair and decided not to shave them. He has been described by Nuxia as an upside-down triangle.

### Personality

Orochi has had a personality shift. At the beginning, he was cold, jaded, and cared only about training and bettering himself in combat. However, after his defeat at the hands of Musha, he seemed to see a bigger picture and start treating those around him with far more respect. He is still very serious and has little to no sense of humor, however.

### Early Life

Orochi Kensei XI was born in The Myre and mostly grew up there. He was very cynical and arrogant from a young age and no one ever wanted to play with him. However, this wasn't an issue for Orochi because he didn't want to play with lowly scum like them either.

### High School

It is unclear when Orochi migrated to Ashfeld, but it was some time in high school. He enrolled in Honor High School and excelled in his studies. He also joined the Honor High football team in search of victory and for a college credit. It was during this time that he realized PK was interested in him romantically. When she asked him out, he agreed, but only to be able to train with her. Every time PK wanted to go on a romantic date with him, Orochi would rather be training. During this time, Orochi developed a voluntary tactic called "Speed-Finishing", which allowed him to finish incredibly quickly during sex to save time. PK was the unfortunate first subject of this new ability, and despite Orochi's warnings, PK was standing up at her cousin's birthday party when the effects kicked in.

### Beginnings Arc

**PK and Orochi's Breakup-** When PK attempts breaking up with Orochi, he honestly doesn't seem to care and removes his shirt, running off into the woods to train by himself.

**Beach Day-** Orochi stands there uncomfortably while being gawked at by Wulin.

### Breach Arc

**Breaking Through-** Orochi is very antagonistic toward his own team in this issue, since it is his first time working with them. PK is annoyed at him about their relationship, Musha hates him for sleeping with PK, and Lawby doesn't care that much, but Orochi doesn't think much of him either. Orochi shows combat prowess in this issue, and makes Nuxia faint when he leads the charge by himself.

### Warrior's Den Arc

**Warriors Damned-** Orochi is seen speaking to his father Kensei briefly. He is then shown being rather angry when he sees he won't be getting gear.

**The Bad Batch-** Orochi asks for a protein bar before it is stolen by Shuboki. Shuboki and Orochi proceed to battle it out, before Orochi quickly stabs Shuboki in the kidney with a tanto. He attributes this move to his relationship with PK.

### Musha VS Orochi Arc

After Orochi is narrowly saved by Musha, Musha asks if Orochi respects him now. Orochi replies that he almost does with a glare. This triggers many other events like Lawby and PK creating a 7-Day training program for Musha to defeat Orochi at the upcoming ranked duel. It is unclear what Orochi does to train before he unveils a new move at the duel: "Delayed Strike". It is derived from his Speed-Finishing technique, and it allows him to determine when a strike with his katana takes effect. After trapping Musha with this attack, he repeatedly warns Musha that if he doesn't surrender, it will leave permanent damage. Musha makes him release the attack anyway, to which Orochi agrees. Musha suddenly activates full-block and the Nurui Kick, sending Orochi rocketing into a wall after smashing against the ground multiple times. Orochi is bruised and battered, and admits he knows when he has lost.

Later, Orochi menacingly comes out in a sling, and in an unexpected turn of events, announces to Musha that he sees him as a friend and equal. To this, Musha loses his composure and hugs Orochi while crying, much to Orochi's dismay.

### It Has Begun

**Red Wedding-** Orochi is seen at the bachelor party and in the crowd with a black eye and sling at Shugoki and Valkyrie's wedding. He is one of the first to begin thinking of a plan when Astrea appears and kills Priest Grunt.

**Infiltrating Wulinia-** Gabrielle sends Orochi, along with PK, Yumi and Musha to Wulinia to deliver a message to the Emperor about Horkos. Orochi leads the group, posing as a Zhanhu named Chengxiang who captured a pirate (Yumi), and an assassin (PK) and has brought along a rice farmer and merchant (Musha). The guard is convinced and allows the foursome to enter. When the Warmonger Asbestos attacks, Orochi fights her head to head, and nearly slashes her weak spot before the Warmonger unleashes unnatural speed and strength, blocking the cut. Orochi is set aback by this, and Yumi swings by and saves him.

When Asbestos follows them out, Orochi tells PK to prepare their supermove, which they then use to kill the Warmonger for good.

### The Resistance

**The Panty Raid-** When Cent and Conq ask Orochi to go on a panty raid with them, he refuses initially. However, when they threaten to "tell everyone about him and Nuxia", Orochi reluctantly accepts. They tell him to search Hulda and Zerk's bags, which he refuses to do.

### The Battle of Crow's Path

During The Battle of Crow's Path, the first major battle between The Resistance and Horkos, Orochi is seen fighting along side Shugoki, killing many Horkos members. He is one of the first to notice when the Horkos Navy is inbound.

### Declaration of War

**Unjust Hatred-** Orochi forces Nuxia to learn about acceptance and suggests she and PK should make a truce. Surprisingly, this kind of works out in the end. There are hinted romantic undertones of this comic.

### Warmonger Skirmish

When Orochi is sent to the beaches of The Myre, most of the Nobushi have been killed by a Warmonger attack. He goes with Musha and Lawby to look for Ayame, but when PK is sent to tell them about her whereabouts, the Warmonger Jomomados attacks them. Orochi is out of the fight when his arm is cut deep. He is then captured along with his team.

### Time of Dying

Orochi is sent by Horkos to a frozen prison called The Glacier. He is completely isolated and grows eyebrows. It is apparent that in this prison he is creating a new technique with is broken blade and a stone.

Orochi later strikes his blade with the stone and sets it alight, bursting out of the melting ice and killing the guards surrounding him. Offscreen, Orochi makes his way out of Valkenheim and to where Musha was imprisoned, at The Myre Maximum Security Penitentiary. Here he saves Musha's life by killing an archer that was about to shoot him. The rivals then head out into the sunset to find PK.

### Back From The Dead

In Back From The Dead, Orochi and Musha arrive in Numachi Swamp, where PK is being held. Orochi smells what he thinks is a swamp beast, and attempts to kill it for food. By some accident, this leads Orochi to find PK resting in a tree. She hugs him and the threesome is reunited. Suddenly, a Draconite-controlled Giga Grunt appears, hitting Orochi.

Orochi decides to keep the Giga busy while Musha and PK search for the Draconite wielder. While fighting, Orochi constantly assesses the speed and strength of his opponent. However, he is unable to stop the Giga from rushing over to Musha, who is saved by Conq, Warden, Lawby and Highlander. Everyone is reunited and they take a stolen Horkos ship back to the United HQ.

### Nobushi Retrieval Arc

Orochi immediately agrees to going with Lawby, PK and Shinobi to save the Nobushi in Wulinia. There, he is one of the main stealth operatives, alongside Shinobi, Yumi and PK. After finding out from PK that the Emperor was bamboozling the United (and was actually a sadistic bastard), Orochi's anger surfaces and he suggests a plan to kill every Horkos member in the area. After Lawby sees Ayame's messed up eye, the plan is given the go-ahead.

After this, Orochi consults with Shugoki to "do the thing" which is throwing him. Orochi flies through the upper levels of Da Chengbao, eradicating all lifeforms in his path, and accidentally disrupting Yumi and PK's attempt to silently take out Syntribos. Orochi bursts into the throne room and it is implied that he brutally murders the Emperor without flinching. After everyone's work is done, they head back to HQ.

### Zenith

Orochi is first seen in Zenith getting ready to train with PK. After speaking to Musha briefly, Orochi brings up to PK the fact that she obviously has a crush on the ronin. PK retaliates by telling Orochi she knows that he and Nuxia are together, to which Orochi drops a ninja vanish and disappears.

In Get Stronger, Orochi is seen sparring with Yumi, and it gets pretty intense. He purposefully draws out the fight to "incur the wrath of the Mangekyou Sharingan". However, this was probably a bad idea since Yumi kicked his ass afterward.

### Strengths/Abilities

* Speed and Reflexes: Orochi can move at high speeds and parry/deflect most attacks thrown at him. This is most attributed to his constant training.
* Delayed Strike: Orochi can make a slash with his sword that only takes effect when he sheaths his blade. He can also cancel the slash.
* Speed-Finish: In order to save time, Orochi developed the ability to finish sex very quickly. About 3 hours later, the subject of said ability feels everything at once, so Orochi recommends they remain sitting down.
* Storm Rush: Orochi braces before sprinting through the enemy with his blade.
* Kagutsuchi's Blade: Orochi ignites his blade with a small rock from Mt. Ignis, which can allow for devastating fire damage.

### Relationships

**Kensei-** Kensei and Orochi have a good enough relationship, however, Kensei always wants Orochi to visit and show off his girlfriend.

**Musha-** Musha and Orochi used to despise each other, however, after their fight they respect each other a lot.

**PK-** PK and Orochi used to date, which was not the greatest relationship. After they broke up, they didn't like each other at all, but once Orochi saw a bigger picture in life, he began treating PK with more respect and now they are good friends and teammates.

**Lawby-** Orochi once saw Lawby as a strange and sad old man, but in recent times they have worked well together and become friends.

**Nuxia-** Orochi and Nuxia appear to have some interesting romantic vibes coming from them when they interact.

**Yumi-** Yumi and Orochi are both rather cold and reserved, so they don't talk often but they consider each other friends.

**Shinobi-** Orochi asked Shinobi to be his manager during the ranked duel, and they both have respect for each other.

**Nobushi-** Orochi appears to be honored by Nobushi's presence, which she appreciates but doesn't understand.

**Conq-** Orochi and Conq have been very good friends for a long time now. It is unclear how Orochi puts up with him.
