## Profile

### Background

16 years ago, a couple where wandering the forest with the sky filled with clouds and cold temperature. Shinjiro and Izumi Kirisaki then happened to stumble upon a young baby boy, who cries are heard as he is left alone in the wilderness, covered in a white cloth with a Wooden knife near the infant. They take the boy as their own and named him Shugo. Shugo grown to like his family and was happy until their untimely deaths when he was 13 years old. Since then he is now living with his aunt, Asami Kirisaki, who taught him swordsmenhip in her inn even if he wasn't very good at it.

3 more years have past as Shugo is a 2nd year at high school. Everything seems normal until he gets caught up in the ??? Holy Grail War, where he learns his real name is actually Shugo Nanaya.

### Personality

Shugo is described to be well-rounded in his own right. He is well-meaningful but can also be bit sarcastic sometimes. He is also pretty stubborn, as once he sets his mind on something, almost no one is going to change for him. He's also very caring towards others, especially the ones he has a close relationship with. As he learned about being born into the Nanaya, Shugo was hesitant about "killing" something, but felt it was necessary in order to defeat some servants the Holy Grail War.

### Relationships

#### **Akame**

At first becoming her Master in the Holy Grail War, Akame mostly acted aloof and coldly to Shugo, focusing only on their mission. Despite this, Shugo tries to get her to hold up during their time together. But as time goes on, she eventually warms up to him as he reminds her of Tatsumi. They both care for each other as Shugo treats her more like a friend than just a servant, even when Akame tries to protect him from harm as he tries to recklessly get them out some dangerous situation their in. Shugo eventually becomes more strong-willed in order to help her as he awakens his Mystic Eyes of Death Contract.

#### **Deadpool**

In a gag parallel universe where Deadpool is summoned as his servant instead of Akame, Deadpool introduces himself with a rapid-fire of 90's pop cultural references (*Independence Day*, *Disney's Aladdin*, and *The Fresh Prince of Bel Air*, among a few others), completely dumbfounding Shugo. As he is unwillingly roped into Deadpool's plans for his "grand comeback", he finds himself hopelessly at his wit's end putting up with Deadpool's relentless buffoonery.

## Abilities

Shugo once took lessons in sword-wielding, but abandoned it due to his technique while being decent, is lacking to him. However he does excel at knife wielding, especially the hidden blade he wields. He uses the sheath of them as a mean to parry oncoming attacks and can use the opportunity to throw his opponents of guard with other defensive techniques. Once he has an opportunity to draws his blade out, he will use it to attack his opponent's weak spot.

### Hidden Bokutō

The weapon that was left to him 16 years ago after being left by the Nanaya. It is his standard weapon of choice that he uses to fight with in the war. However, the Bokutō was destroyed in the process during his fight with Berserker. Leaving the Tantō as it's replacement.

### Hidden Tantō

An upgraded version of Shugo's weapon. It was created with the help of Kotarou Fuuma, using the base of the blade from the Bokutō he had after it was destroyed during the fight between him and Berserker and ???. The blade was more flexible and further enhanced by his abilities due to the circuits implanted in it.

### Mystic Eyes of Death Contract

Like Shiki Ryougi and Shiki Tohno, Shugo possess Mystic Eyes that relates to Death Perception, which allow the user to "perceive death," the conceptual "Death of an Existence," as the form of **Lines of Death**. Unlike Shiki Ryougi and Shiki Tohno, Shugo's concept of his Mystic Eyes is called **Death Contract**, the ability to see and predict the lines of living things, before drawing near them and cutting their lines connecting to the living and cutting off their existence. In other words, "killing them." He can also use it to predict the moves of his enemies, slowing things down in his perspective and countering them.

As Shugo activates his Mystic Eye, the color of his eyes changes from blue into a bright and clear white.
