Biography[]
Manga[]
He is first shown in a mine near the capital with a new form of Danger Beast, thinking about how long it's been since he was in the capital.
He is next seen observing the battle between the new Danger Beasts and Seryu. After she finishes killing them, he notes to himself that the Jaegers are very powerful, but that they are not as strong as the group he is putting together, and that they can play with his "toys" until they arrive.
Later, he finds Esdeath and Tatsumi together at the summit of Mt. Fake, and after being noticed while hiding, he notes that it is too early to let the Prime Minister know about his return. Then he used his Teigu, Shambala, to teleport them to a remote island in the far south, where they were attacked by a giant Danger Beast very similar to Dr. Stylish's ultimate form.
After the mission to kill Bolick was concluded, Syura was shown in the Imperial Palace, seated on a throne, surrounded by his group. He tells them that the time has come and that the Empire will now be their "toy."
Syura then returned to the Empire revealing he was on a mission given by his father to find "People with useful talents." Syura decides to give a demonstration of the people he found by making them slaughter the Death Row Prisoners and introducing them to his father. During this, he thinks to himself that it's "Playtime" and that he will surpass his father.
Shortly after that, Syura is ordered to investigate the Umatora Theater in the Capital as there is a play that criticizes the Empire. When he is there, he reveals the name of his newly formed Group, "Wild Hunt." The producer denies the accusation and tries to bribe Syura but he declines the money and declares the Death Sentence on them, quickly leading to the entire team being raped and killed by Wild Hunt. Syura himself took part in it, showing his twisted side by calling this action part of the investigation. He then mentions that this is all because Esdeath is not present in the Capital.
After his devilish act, Syura joyfully tells his father how much of a kick he gets from leading Wild Hunt telling him that he made preparations to take out Night Raid. Along with his father, he watches the Great General Budo arrive.
Syura, along with his father and other advisers of Emperor Makoto, discussed the danger that the revolutionary army posed to the Empire before being interrupted by the arrival of the great General Budo. Syura noted that the reason that his father can remain calm when he's facing the revolutionary army is because of the "Ultimate Teigu" that has been passed down the imperial bloodline and the presence of Budo and his imperial guards. But before that, they decided to end the Night Raid above all, and for that, Syura made an ambush attracting Lubbock and Tatsumi to a secluded area. After this, Syura teleported the two to the palace of Empire, where Suzuka, Budo, Esdeath, and Dorothea were awaiting them. Even with the resistance of the two, Tatsumi and Lubbock were captured. However, Esdeath claimed Tatsumi for herself, leaving Lubbock to Syura.
After Tatsumi was almost raped by Suzuka and Dorothea, Syura tortures Lubbock while forcing him to say where the hideout of Night Raid was. However, Lubbock refused to tell him, and in return, Syura then crushes his testicles with a pliers. After that Syura left the room, saying he would continue the torture tomorrow, Honest showed Syura that the crimes committed by the Wild Hunt were discovered by the community, and to prevent Syura from being convicted, Honest dissolved the Wild Hunt. In an act of rage, Syura returned to the torture room and decided that torture would continue until Lubbock told him the location of the hideout of Night Raid. Lubbock agreed to tell the location and then Syura released him so he could point it out using a map of the capital. However, Lubbock used his strigs to break Syura's neck, killing him instantly.
Anime[]
Syura is first introduced as he watches the new Danger Beasts devour a group of miners. As he watched the carnage with a sadistic grin, Syura, now in possession of Shambhala and the Danger Beasts, decides to head back to the capital, lamenting that with the carnage from the war, it should be a "wonderful time." A few days later, Syura observes Seryu and Hekatonkheires slaughtering the Beasts, deciding to sit back and enjoy the carnage caused both by the Beasts and their destruction.
The next night, Syura climbed Mt. Fake, while slightly disappointed at how quickly the Danger Beasts had been wiped out, he grinned sadistically upon returning to the Capital (unaware Lubbock had watched his arrival). Syura tried sneaking up on Tatsumi and Esdeath but the general noticed his presence immediately and threatened him to show himself. Syura walked into the open and commended her for noticing him and now knew why people feared her. Esdeath, guessing he had involvement with the Danger Beasts, demanded he tell her or else she'd torture him. Syura, unfazed but knowing he couldn't escape and didn't have a chance at beating her, used Shambhala to send her and Tatsumi to a deserted island, taking his hood off, Syura wondered what "game" he should play next.
A day later, Syura teleports to an unknown building where he lamented that his father would be furious if he discovered Esdeath had been removed from the equation, deciding it's not worth his father's fury, Syura opened a portal on the island. He was then greeted by one of his mistresses' who rudely asks what he's doing and (after he insults her) states that despite his language he is refined. But things quickly go violent as when Syura admits that he is refined due to his father being Honest, the woman insults the Prime Minister. This caused Syura to strike her in the gut and demanded what a "whore" like her was to question such things. Syura grabbed her by the hair as she struggled to breathe and proclaimed that while he had the utmost respect for his father, he could do far better than Honest and that surpassing him was the greatest honor he could achieve.
Sometime later. With the numerous losses the Jaegers suffered. Honest introduces to them Syura and Wild Hunt (unlike their manga counterparts, the members were covered by matching robes and had no lines) as the new elite force in the capital, Syura greeted Budo, praised him for his reputation and how now that he was there, the general had nothing to worry about. Budo leaves, declaring that experience has taught him a few 'rats' are around before the swarm appears, Syura mockingly asks his father why Budo can't stay in the palace and look 'pretty'. Honest informs his son that this was his chance to prove himself and that his status as his heir would depend on his performance. Syura tells his father to enjoy the show and, thinking of his spy, grins at how he had a few rats of his own to hunt.
When Tatsumi and Lubbock attempted to infiltrate the palace with the help from a spy disguised as a maid. Lubbock notices blood seeping through the door. Opening it, they are greeted by the sight of the other spies' corpses which then explode. Greeted by Wild Hunt, Syura, sat among the flames, introduced himself, and revealed how he was the one who sent Tatsumi and Esdeath to the island and released the Danger Beasts Stylish created. After revealing to Tatsumi how he committed these crimes because they amused him, Tatsumi charged him in fury, only for Syura to reveal that the explosion wasn't just an attempt to kill them but to gain Budo's attention. The great general appears, and after introducing himself and declaring them trash, attacks Tatsumi, who equips Incursio to battle the titan.
Before Lubbock could help his comrade, Syura teleports in front of him to block his path, after ordering Wild Hunt to not interfere, Syura engages the assassin. The two launch attack upon attack at each other, countering each attack with their respective Teigu. Sensing Lubbock's confusion on his teleporting ability, Syura reveals Shambhala, how he could teleport anywhere he marked but it provided a massive strain on his body. Syura then reveals a formula that allowed him to use Shambhala infinitely and that he marked the entire capital with markers. All Lubbock could do was flee as Syura attacked him from every angle. Eventually, the maid (revealed to have been the one to set them up) grabs Lubbock from behind so Syura can kill him, only to both their shock for Syura to slice her throat instead. Remarking how toys shouldn't interfere with his plans. Lubbock asks what he means and Syura declares how everything is a toy to him and how he'll surpass his father and be crowned empowered.
Noticing Lubbock's darkened expression, Syura told him not to be upset and that their battle had just started, only for Lubbock to coldly state that it had just ended, and Syura lost. Before Syura could ask what he meant, his hand holding Shambhala was cut straight off, so quickly that it took Syura a few seconds to register the pain before screaming. Picking up his foe's Teigu, Lubbock revealed that he had placed Cross Tail's wires over every marker opening and how he had used Syura's bragging and flamboyant nature to figure out the marker locations.
Sadly, after deciding to interrogate Syura to find out more of Honest's plans, Lubbock was stabbed in the back by the maid, who uses her last breathes to beg Syura to free her parents (the reason for her betrayal) and fell down dead, only for Syura to mock her dead corpse with the fact he'd killed her parents ages ago.
Declaring that he'd had a marvelous time tormenting Lubbock, Syura decided to express his "gratitude" by using Shambhala's trump card to send him to an alternate space. But after he laughingly mocked Lubbock on how he'd die alone in Shambhala's world, Syura realized that Lubbock wrapped Cross Tail around his severed hand, bringing him into the alternate world as well. Before he could escape, Lubbock formed Cross Tails into a spear and plunged it into Syura's chest, deciding that if he'd die, Syura would die with him.
Syura declared that he wouldn't die with a rebel and that he'd rule the nation and give it the fun it deserved, only for Lubbock to state that in a weird way, he understood Syura's goals. Syura pitifully wined that he couldn't die yet and he had so much to do as Cross Tail's wires started entering his body and wrapping around his heart. Lubbock acknowledged that Syura wanted to change the world, and how everyone wanted to do that, but that didn't give him the right to treat fellow Humans like playthings and they're nothing. Pulling Cross Tail's wires back, Lubbock ripped Syura's heart into tiny pieces, ending the madman before his goals could be realized. While at the same time, Lubbock falls into the portal and gets impaled by spears.
Hours later, Budo informed Honest of his son's passing, leading Honest to pitifully wail for a few moments (about 3 seconds) before stating "Oh well" and that Syura's life for a Night Raid assassin was a worthy trade off, showing that despite everything, Syura meant nothing to him.
Personality[]
Syura is seen to be an extremely cruel, selfish and sadistic young man who enjoys tormenting people just for fun, he is shown to be pretty perverted like using women like sex toys, as well being quite abusive with them. He tends to lick his lips whenever picking up a woman, as seen with Kurome. He also gets angry and irritated somewhat quickly when things don't go his way, especially when he disappoints people, such as his father. He also enjoys torturing his enemies, as a means to make them spill out information, as seen with Lubbock.
He behaves very much like a spoiled child, his status as the son of the prime minister giving him an overinflated sense of self-entitlement. As in he feels entitled to the right that he can do/go/kill or use whatever, wherever, and whoever he wants, and becomes violent when someone gets in his way. Even so, he has an obsession with pleasing his father and becomes emotionally unstable if he feels in danger of losing his approval.
However, the key difference in the anime to note is that while he most likely indulges in the heinous act, there is no mention of him being a rapist in the anime adaptation. While he is shown abusing his mistress for talking down to him for being Honest's son, that is the extent of his abuse towards women shown. Furthermore, his anime counterpart is also far less evil in general. While still a heartless brat, he does not go out of his way to kill and rape people for fun like he does in the manga. However, given that he still killed various people, his sadism is merely toned down instead of Syura himself being made more sympathetic.
Syura proves many times that while he wants to please his father, he doesn't do it out of love or respect, but out of desire to surpass him. Therefore, most of his crimes are fueled by his sadism. He also does not care about his group; outright showing contempt towards them. Thus, unlike his father who briefly mourned his passing, Syura clearly did not care about anyone but himself.
Powers And Abilities[]
Syura holding Shambhala.
Syura possesses Shambhala, a Teigu shaped like a yin and yang symbol that allows him to be teleported across large distances, as well trapping him and its enemies in a distortion in space with several planets and strange-looking architecture floating around inside. According to him, those who are pulled into Shambhala are doomed to be trapped here forever once the portal closes (however this technique is only shown in the anime adaptation)
He is shown to had a stamina greater than a average person, being able to climb Mt. Fake in a short amount of time, giving Lubbock only moments to hide after noticing a presence moving up the mountainside. He is also proficient in hand-to-hand combat. He has demonstrated to had learned numerous fighting techniques during his travels, though not as powerful in unarmed combat as Wave.
Trivia[]
- His name is usually romanized as "Shura" which means "fighting" or "scene of carnage" in Japanese.
- In the manga. Syura had white hair and green eyes. But in the anime, his hair is lilac and his eyes are golden yellow, this was made likely to avoid similarity with Scar from the Fullmetal Alchemist series.
