**Setsuna Kiryu** (桐(き)生(りゅう) 刹(せつ)那(な), *Kiryū Setsuna*?) is a main character in the fan-made series **Universal Warriors**.

also known as **The Beautiful Beast** (美(び)獣(じゅう), *Bijū*), is a mysterious individual whose history is closely intertwined with Tokita Ohma's. He was the affiliated fighter for the Koyo Academy Group during the most recent Kengan Annihilation Tournament. Two years after the Tournament, he suddenly reappears interacting with Gaoh Ryuki.

## Personality

Outwardly, Kiryu is a very polite and friendly person, belying his true obsessive nature directed towards Tokita Ohma, with an irrational hatred towards Tokita Niko. While his obsession in Ohma initially appears to be sadomasochistic and sexual, it's more of religious fervor: He worships Ohma as a god who will give him destruction and loathes Niko as the devil who defiled his god. Kiryu also suffered a severe form of psychosis due to overusing the Fallen Demon technique, causing him to hallucinate that Niko is still alive and taking the form of different people and that he must kill Niko in every form he takes.

Two years later, his personality seems to have taken an even darker turn, even after being freed from the side effect of Fallen Demon by Ohma. He now becomes interested in "grooming" Ryuki into becoming his new "God", even mentoring him in learning the Koei Style to prepare him to defeat Ohma, his old "God".

## Character Design

Kiryu is an effeminate-looking young man with long black hair that falls down his back and frames his face in two long bangs, gentle livid-colored eyes and he has an incredibly defined musculature.

Two years after the Tournament, Kiryu sports bob-cut black hair reminiscent of the style when he was younger.

## Abilities and Equipment

Setsuna is a powerful and dangerous combatant, who was able to effortlessly defeat Ozu Toshio, an undefeated Kengan fighter, and later, onboard the S.S. Kengan, he easily defeated two of Metsudo's Bodyguards, men who are renowned for their impressive strength. With his natural aptitude for martial arts, Kiryu has proven himself to be a skillful fighter, able to pressure people of Ohma and Kuroki Gensai's level in battle.

Setsuna is also a noted prodigy in martial arts. While it takes normal people at least eight years to complete the training needed to use Rakshasa's Palm, Setsuna managed to master it in only a year.

Kiryu proves to be a master of stealth and infiltration, as shown when he broke out of his imprisonment without alerting the Bodyguards as well as the the fact he was able to leisurely meet up with Ryuki and Akoya despite currently being manhunted by the Kengan Association ever since Kengan Annihilation Tournament.

### Koei Style

Setsuna uses the long-lost martial art revived by his master Taira Genzan. However, Genzan was only able to salvage two techniques before his death at Setsuna's hands. Kiryu uses the Koei Style's techniques very well, mastering them in a short time and even improving them, highlighting his fighting genius.

### Niko Style

Before learning the Koei Style, Setsuna learned the Niko Style from The Other Niko. While not nearly as skilled in the style as Ohma is, he can combine its techniques with the Koei Style to compensate for his shortcomings and use the knowledge he has to counter Ohma's techniques.

#### Fallen Demon

The secondary secret technique of the Niko Style is demonstrated only by Setsuna. This technique only activates whenever Kiryu is in a critical situation. It allows him to react to his opponents more quickly, letting him dodge and counter attacks that would otherwise land. However, due to the drawbacks of the technique, and the fact he's used it too much, it causes him to see hallucinations of his 'devil,' Tokita Niko, still alive and taking the form of other people.

Artistically, the state has Kiryu's face drawn in shadow, with narrow white eyes and an unnerving smile. His face is reminiscent of the twin theatre masks' comedy mask.

### Mingling of the Tiger and Fox

**Mingling of the Tiger and Fox** (虎(こ)狐(こ)の交(まじわり), *Koko no Majiwari*) is a combination of the Koei Style's Rakshasa's Palm and the Niko Style's Swimming Swallow.

Not only does Kiryu deliver a rush of blows with unpredictable and quickly-altering trajectories, but each of the blows also has the lethal twisting force of the Rakshasa's Palm behind it.

## Story

### Original

Kiryu was born in the Inside as organ stock for his wealthy biological father and spent his entire life beaten, detained, and unwanted. Before his captors harvested him, a young Tokita Ohma killed his captors because he believed them to be edging in on his turf. Believing Ohma to be a god that would destroy him for his sinful nature, Kiryu chased after him and remained within the Inside so he could find "god" again. Selling himself into child prostitution to gain money and connections, he soon earned the favor of one of the most powerful men in Goyu Ward. Going to the "Outside," Kiryu found and killed his biological father, stealing his money and using his connections to find "god" again. Two years after their first encounter, Kiryu learned of Ohma's location in the Inside and ran happily to his "punishment" only to find that Ohma had been "defiled" by the devil, Tokita Niko, Ohma's master. It was here that Kiryu met The Other Tokita Niko, who informs Kiryu about Tokita Niko as well as teaching him the Niko Style. Informed by The Other Niko about Taira Genzan, Kiryu later encountered the martial artist and became his student.

Two years later, Kiryu returned to the Inside and found Ohma once again. Accosting Ohma, Kiryu forcibly activated the Possessing Spirit after it was bestowed upon him by The Other Niko, causing him to violently rampage. Ohma nearly killed Kiryu but was stopped at the last minute by the arrival of Tokita Niko. With Niko stopping Ohma's rampage, Kiryu then watched as Niko fought The Other Niko.

It was very soon after this that Kiryu's master Taira Genzan challenged and killed Niko when they were young. Then, during the ten years, Kiryu and Genzan fought in the Death Fights. In this time, before Ohma could exact revenge on Kiryu's master, Kiryu killed him first, intentionally earning Ohma's wrath.
