A warrior on the path of finding self redemption and acknowledgement, Oda looks to find meaning through balance. His idea of balance is pretty basic. There is good and there is bad, but he is on neither side. A neutral being, he projects his balance through his fists. As a young man he was always fighting for strength. Now, he fights for acknowledgement and balance. When the world is tipped too far to one side, Oda appears to even it out again. Whether it is saving lives or taking lives, Oda is a man who cares little for what that entails, but rather on how it tips the scales of balance. This makes Oda either the protagonist or the antagonist depending on perspective. Under his sensei Izanagi and his mentor Hakai, Oda has joined the club as one of the worlds most active and oldest warriors.

## Personality

Balance; a simple yet complexed concept to understand when other factors are involved, yet, it is the very word that describes Oda the best. Previously a hot-headed and stubborn individual Odama realized in order for him to grow, he had to evolve. Not only evolve physically, but mentally and spiritually as well. This gave birth to his unique, but confusing personality. It should be noted, that Oda is a man who seems to go back and forth a lot. This is due to his balance aspect. His mental stability and will comes from a perspective revolving mostly around light. His power however, comes from a place of anger and darkness. Thus, the second keyword to his personally is discipline. Odama is a very disciplined individual. The disciplinary aspect can make him seem a bit cold, or rather more like a robot. In order to constantly better himself he has to constantly train, and this creates his cold persona. He finds his balance through combat and meditation; the two things that guide his life

## Abilities

* **Monstrous Strength:** One of the two keys to Oda winning battles. The monstrous strength of Oda allows him to bash and crack skulls, crush craniums, hurl enemies, and stop attacks dead in their tracks. Oda’s body in fact is an illusion in itself. As lean muscular figure makes it seem as if his strength does not go over a certain cap. You would be unwise to judge any book by its cover. Oda is fully capable of lifting, knocking down, and throwing people with greater height and weight than him. Although the lifting and throwing comes to a limit, the strength for damaging a larger opponent or object does not. With just strength alone he can level buildings, cause craters, and cause enough force to disrupt air currents, disrupt basic lightning, overpower fire, and separate water. Of course depending on the level of strength and the techniques depends on the level of output, but it is 100% a fact for Oda to constantly raise his strength. Even if it becomes a detriment to his own health.

* **Astonishing Speed:** As a person who specializes in physical combat, Oda’s natural speed level is very high. The evolution of his character and his Oni bloodline enhanced this beyond normal means. Being apart of the Oda branch, Oda’s speed makes him move around as a blur without enhancements. He is fast enough to dodge last minute, as well as has full control to completely stop his body without enhancements. Oda has multiple ways to enhance his speed. This comes through yang, anger, and his Oni Genbu. Regarding combat, Oda can unleash a vicious volley of blows. He is capable of moving and attacking fast enough to leave after images in motion in which can be used as faints or to confuse the opponent. It should be noted that at close range, Oda seems to be able to reach instantaneous movement when enhanced. Short bursts of speed allow him to capitalize on achieving maximum velocity at shorter distances. This is because he in fact is not necessarily fast, but he is quick. Someone who is fast, is able to utilize high speed more frequently at long distances. Oda is capable of doing this as well, but he normally finds this to be more predictable and tiring without enhancements. Do not be fooled, close range Oda’s speed level not to be taken lightly.

* **Taijutsu Master:** There is nothing more respectable than two contenders expressing themselves through close-combat. There was nothing more fascinating to a young boy than watching a shinobi overcome impossible odds with his bare hands. Ninjutsu was never an option for Oda. Unlike Rock Lee, Oda had the full capabilities of utilizing ninjutsu. However, his lack of commitment to practicing long ranged techniques discarded all possibilities of becoming a ninjutsu expert. Oda was more into the grit of combat. From a young age Oda began working on his taijutsu. He practiced everyday on his punching and kicking, not as a strategic fighter, but as a brawler. Oda wanted to be the best fighter he could after disgracing his family. It was only in his late teenage years when he was introduced to more efficient fighting styles. With prolonged life, and a man who continues to learn. Oda knows all popular hand-to-hand combat fighting styles. This is due to him traveling the world. His personal fighting style is a mixture of all those known styles. At his current stage he is fast and efficient. He never wastes a move. With his speed and strength, Oda utilizes potential energy to enhance his attacks and overpower his opponent. A simple fact of science that is underrated allows him to go fist to fist and win almost every time. Oda’s favorite style of fighting is submission fighting. He loves to throw punch feints and grapple. He may even tank an attack just to grapple an opponent. When offensively fighting he mixes a lot of fighting styles into submission combos. By analyzing his opponent’s fighting stance, he is able to predict on multiple ways the opponent can attack and counter efficiently. This allows him to recognize fighting styles or renders of fighting styles to give him an upper hand in combat.
