Gashakura (餓紗喰) is a member of Uruha Ma, as well as its second in command.
Appearance[]
Gashakura unmasked
Gashakura is a gigantic man, well over the height of any normal human. His body is protected by an equally huge and heavy white armor that seems to be made out of a craggy rock material. Over his chest, thinner sections connect to the main pieces, which are three long, thick plates that extend down to his waist. Gashakura's arms, as well as his waist are also covered in this armor. His helmet is made of the same material as his armor and has an upside down red triangle on the forehead.
When Gashakura removes his armor, he has the appearance of a man in his late twenties with short dark hair. The triangle symbol on his helmet is also on Gashakura's forehead as well.
Personality[]
Gashakura's sole motivation for entering the tournament was to find fighters who could equal, or even surpass his own strength. Initially, he was quite disappointed with the fighters he and his team had encountered, considering them all weak and easy wins. During his fight with Fūko, Gashakura finally got the battle he craved as Fuko proved herself to be exactly what he wanted, a worthy opponent. He also made it clear multiple times that he would not go easy on her simply because she was a woman though he did make a derisive remark or two against her gender, yet he came to respect Fuko as a true warrior nonetheless. Gashakura also was the only member of his team that didn't attempt to play any sort of tricks on his opponent and fought them straight. He always seeks a fair fight, as seen when he destroyed the laser towers, damaging himself in order to make things even with Fūko, who had been hit unexpectedly by the lasers.
Though he claimed to have done so not for Fuko's sake but because he didn't want anyone to say he only won their fight because of the laser net, this act, along with his conduct and respect, showed Gashakura to be an honorable warrior and possess a sense of integrity.
