Was he at least arguably a fool to be so easily manipulated by Kuni Yori, and kind of a traitor for using the Shadowlands against people of Rokugan? Also yes. (Yeah, the whole 'Look at mah boobehs!' armor is ridiculous - and probably painful for her - but otheriwise Snoddy's art nailed the character).Īs for Hida Kisada: He was such a Richard-head that I really disliked it when they just decided he was a big hero.somehow. You forgot O-Ushi, by far my favorite Crab. The Hida family is the single largest group of hard core people in rokugan. His other son Yakumo not only got to have two powerful magic hands (one a evil claw the other a jade fist) and was chosen as the crab clan thunder to fight and kill Fu Leng but eventually he became the sun. His son Sukune got sacrificed to Fu Leng which doomed his soul to Jigoku(hell) but he was such a pure spirit he was just able to leave. There is some epic art of him doing this. He ended up killing 24 of them with his bare hands before being knocked out. He was then so epic that he fought his way back to life, fought in more wars and was eventually killed in his old age by an army of scorpion clan ninja. Besides looking like a ripped version of the shredder Hida Kisada fought Fu Leng hand to hand and survived having a sword driven through his gut it eventually killed him two and a half years later. Hoshi monks were often the most 'honorable' of the monk orders, and some of their character cards in the game allowed you to gain honor for doing things with Rings, duels, etc.īonus: Togashi Nyima, punching a Crane in the head.Īll Hida are hardcore. Hoshi was a half-dragon (as in a creature, not just clan) that left the clan for a while when his father's successor as Champion, Hitomi, started having 'disloyal' members of the clan killed (she was being driven crazy by.well, it's long story. They were named after Togashi Hoshi, the son of the kami Togashi. They took the Hitomi name, and were often more direct and even brutal than the Togashi monks:Ī monk of the Hoshi family. the card was so-so power wise, but **** cool).Ī Dragon monk of the 'kikage-zumi'. Nice art of a Dragon monk (this character was actually a monk, a shugenja, and an alchemist. One of the times the Dragon clan did have an actual dragon (well, a 'Ryu, anyway) :Ī Dragon bushi, with excellent art that shows even many Dragon warriors have a philosophical / mystical side:
