Emishi, Haruki

笑師春樹

Haruki Emishi is a follower of Volts within the Infinity Fortress. He earned the nickname "Fresh Blood Joker" (Senketsu no Joker) because he would always laugh as his enemies' blood was shed, invariably killing with a smile. His combat skills mean that he is often covered in the blood of his enemies after battles. (In fact, Shido Fuyuki once commented that if his will becomes stronger, his might is actually on par with the 4 Kings of VOLTS.)
Emishi's weapon is a long whip woven from the hair of the women of his people, also referred to as "Dragon's Hair." Thanks to the special care given to the hair before and after weaving, as well as the specific braiding method, the whip is as strong and pliable as a dragon's whisker. The whip consists of a single grip in the middle with two whip lengths protruding from each side, which Emishi handles very well with quick and fluid attacks such as "The Spinning top," "Venom Imitation," "Sandstorm," or "Winds of Destruction." Another technique Emishi possesses is that his blood, like that of all Loulan warriors, is highly combustible when it makes contact with oxygen; however, unfortunately for Emishi, it only seems to work when a large, arterial flow of blood is used. He went under the rule of MakubeX after VOLTS broke up, serving as one of the new four kings chosen for his speed and fighting prowess, and fought the retrievers of IL in the Infinity Fortress. He is the only male descendant left from the ancient Western Chinese desert kingdom of Loulan (Rouran) who is able to fight.
He is also an admirer and good friend of Shido after the Beast master made his way to his village in the Infinity Fortress, delivering food to the starving children, an image radically different to the wandering rumors.
