Notes
Charismatic, ambitious, rebellious, loyal, and cocky, Masamune seeks to conquer and unite Japan while proving himself against worthy rivals. He masters the Six Claw style, wielding six katanas with superhuman speed and lightning-based elemental attacks, but its immense physical strain and his reckless, offense-first charges leave openings. A golden crescent moon helmet, black eyepatch, and blue armor define him.
