Shogun

**Shogun**is a military warlord and the sixth Demon Boss in Shadow Fight 2, met in Act VI: Iron Reign.

## Appearance Edit

Shogun appears as a traditional Japanese Samurai, a middle-aged man equipped with two swords which he holsters on his right hip.  He wears a fully-flexible and highly protective armor, which will trouble Shadow with his attacks towards him. He wears a full-plated helmet equiped with a mempo mask. Being a demon, it shows his demonic eyes faintly lights out of his eye sockets. Shogun can pull the secondary holstered sword, when he uses his long attack.

## Storyline Edit

### **Act 6: Iron Reign** Edit

Shadow and his team head on to obtain the final seal which will lock the Gates of Shadow. Making their way to Ivory City, they learn that Shogun has taken over the city and has made it the seat of his vast empire. The city though, appears to be in ruins and Sensei narrates that once this city was very prosperous and lively but after Shogun got a hold on it, this was all that remained of its former glory.

Shadow begins his fight against Shogun's bodyguards and when each one is defeated, they mistake Shadow for their missing Prince and move on to higher authority for help. Sly encourages Shadow to play along this mistaken identity.

Shogun first makes an appearance in conversation with General. After Shadow defeats Colonel, Shogun orders General to "Find this Shadow who calls himself the Prince. He and his associates are to be executed. Use whatever means necessary." General responds by telling him he will round up the best mercenary unit around and have them hunt down Shadow and the others.

Shadow then faces five mercenaries in a row of five rounds. After their defeat, he fights General and then finally reaches Shogun. Shogun fights Shadow, still being under the impression that he is the lost prince. After his defeat, Shogun is left in disbelief that he was bested in combat. Before Shadow moves on Shogun surrenders his seal claiming that even though he lost, the people will not follow a petty 'prince'.

### **Gates Of Shadows** Edit

Shogun teams up with the previous demons to halt Shadow's plans to close the Gates of Shadow. He battles Shadow in a Challenge-Survival combat last in line (sixth).

### **Interlude** Edit

Shadow returns to fight Shogun for a third time to learn how to break the seal. Shogun like the previous demons is not pleased that Shadow wants to reopen the Gates. He declares that this realm and empire is his and therefore if Shadow reopens the gates Titan will be released and Shogun will lose power and influence. Shogun tries to stop Shadow in his quest and the fight ensues.

## Personality Edit

Shogun is extremely aggressive and hates disorder, chaos and failure when it comes to the matters of his empire. He is a warlord who rules a vast empire, and has claimed to have "enslaved thousands" and "conquer entire nations". He has an extreme hatred of Shadow whom he believes he is a Prince which caused a lot of chaos for the empire. He deems himself the ruler of this realm until Titan is set loose.

Shogun takes pride in his strength, and is devastated when he is beaten in combat. He values his empire very highly, falling apart when he believes it will be taken away from him. Shogun is fearsome, and his lesser bodyguards fear him and his capabilities, proving that he is actually very strong. Shogun is shown to be quite arrogant, as he does not deign to deal with the enemy until he has no choice. Even when Shadow proves to be a highly dangerous threat to his empire, he assigns his greatest fighter -  General - and his mercenary unit to do the dirty work for him.

It is shown how much the empire means to Shogun when Shogun threatens to fight Shadow just to keep his empire under his command. As re-opening the Gate of Shadows would release Titan and cause Shogun to be evicted from his seat of high power (Titan is the supreme demon), he fights Shadow in an attempt to stop him from opening the Gates so he can remain in his powerful position.

## Offence Edit

Shogun wields a Daisho, a pair made up of a Katana and a short sword (Wakizashi) as his melee weapon. Of the pair, primarily the Katana is used for most attacks and the short sword serves a finish move to his attack frenzy. The Daisho has Overheat Enchantment.

His ranged weapon of choice is the Kunai of the Wind, used until Shadow defeats him in a round. He uses Dragon wings once the player wins one round and keen chakram after the player wins 2 rounds.

Shogun's magic attacks are:

* Fire Ball (Used until the player wins one round)
* Fire Pillar (Used until the player wins two rounds)
* Asteroid (Used after the player wins two rounds)

Apart from these, during the fights, Shogun occasionally calls his bodyguards to attack Shadow.
