Ryu Ishigori

## Introduction

Ryu is a jujutsu sorcerer from 400 years ago who was incarnated into the modern era by Kenjaku to participate in the Culling Game as a player.
He is also a confident hotshot with a strong drive to enjoy fulfilling combat. He is defined by his desire to fight worthy opponents and likens the experience to eating delicacies. Ryu fought modest opponents and met a good woman in his last life, so he didn't die with sentiments that he would label as regrets. However, those fights never satisfied Ryu and it left him with a hunger that followed him into reincarnation. Ryu believes he's never been full and wants to fight someone who could push his abilities to the limit, a dessert that could fill his insatiable hunger

### Character Details

Ryu is a sorcerer that boasts incredible destructive power and the highest cursed energy output of any player in the Culling Game. He was able to score seventy-seven points in twelve days in one of the game's fiercest colonies and forced a deadlock with other exceptional players like Dhruv, Kurourushi, and Uro.Ryu's ability to fire cursed energy like a cannon makes him a massive wide-range threat. He is also the only sorcerer who can unleash the same amount of power regardless of whether or not his cursed technique is activated.
