CHARACTER INFORMATION Character Name: Shun Kurosaki Age: 16 (assumed) Canon: Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V Canon Point: Episode 91 Character Information/World Information:Wiki history feat. awful dub names
Personality: The quickest way to describe Shun would probably be that he’s everything you could expect from a boy forced into unexpected war in his early teens. Vengeful, prickly, distrustful and scathing, but determined, skilled and unwaveringly loyal to his comrades, he’s a shell-shocked veteran at an age where nobody should be, and it heavily affects how he interacts with others.
In combat and strategy, Shun is somewhat of a study in contrasts. He’s observant and wary (or almost paranoid, on occasion), to the point where out-of-place skill and strategy is enough to raise (correct) suspicions that another member of Standard’s Lancer team is actually a spy from the Fusion Dimension’s military arm, Academia. When he chooses to, he can be patient and execute fast-paced, hard-hitting plans to escape places such as the Underground and Synchro Dimension’s prisons on his own terms, usually leaving the rest of the Lancers in his dust. However, in practice he’s often reckless and needlessly violent, attacking people for merely being in his way and initially refusing to acknowledge the validity of goals other than his, until he was coaxed out of this mindset during the course of a duel with Crow. As of his current canon point, he will accept and support goals that differ from his as long as he can relate to them – a person wanting to protect friends or family is much more likely to get a positive response from him than someone wanting to take power, whatever their reasons (especially given his history with Academia). However, he expects everyone to share his determination and drive when it comes to their own missions, and may look down on those who don’t have the strength or will to see them through.
Taught by the school of constantly trying not to die, Shun is a skilled combatant in both dueling and physical confrontation. The first thing to notice about his fighting style is that it differs between both of these. When he duels, he duels honourably and with skill obviously trained towards combatting swathes of enemies at once, using cards that return stolen comrades’ monsters to his field and powering up his ace monsters to easily wipe the opponent’s field, which he uses to deliver the fury and sorrow of his lost comrades to his enemies. But when he fights physically, he plays incredibly dirty, focusing on pressure points to drop foes in one hit and making use of unconventional but powerful strikes from elbows and high kicks. This exemplifies his role as a survivor, and the last person from Heartland alive to venture outside the Xyz Dimension, striving to save his lost comrades. Upon calling out a foe for their role in the destruction of Heartland, such as Sora or Dennis, Shun rarely cites his own anger – instead, he speaks of the fear, sadness and anger of the civilians and comrades he’s lost over the course of the war, and channels their feelings through his attacks. He doesn’t talk about his own dreams and goals being crushed, though we know before the war he was focused on becoming a pro duelist; instead, his anger comes from the destroyed futures of his closest friend and family member, Yuto and Ruri. For someone so seemingly impossible to befriend, Shun values his friends and comrades immensely, and takes their losses as personally as he would his own, if not more so. However, this drives him to excessive vengefulness at times, having to be talked out of it by people he trusts to stop his pursuit of an enemy or target. While Shun is critical and mistrustful of most people to start, it’s not too difficult to make friends with him if you have strong goals and a strong will, and especially a similar past, as shown by his fast friendship with Crow.
Shun’s own strong determination is born of what he needs to save; the civilians, children, and untrained soldiers of his hometown, as well as Heartland itself. So much as a mention of his enemies is enough to rile him up, and he’s completely merciless in confrontations with them. Anyone he mistakes as an enemy is subject to the same treatment, unless someone he trusts can vouch for them. However, he’s not all hard and bitter, as the sight of lost comrades hits him incredibly hard, and he finds himself incapable of talking about what happened in Heartland if answers are demanded out of him (however, when talking on his own terms and especially to enemies, he recounts the events powerfully and without hesitation). He has a soft spot for children like the ones who used to cheer him on when he was training to become a pro duelist, and the idea of taking a child into a war zone sets him off very clearly. In general, he seems to disparage people who revel in war or don’t take it seriously enough, and so bonds well with those that do take things seriously and know the weight of their actions – and also understand that war isn’t as simple as black and white when you have to do awful things to win. Though he can be a difficult person to handle at times, Shun’s strength, will and loyalty are a virtue to any team he decides to be part of, and he has the sense to curtail his own thoughts on being ordered around if there’s a valid reason for it or he’s agreed to see a plan through and he has no real reason to reject orders but for his own resentment.
War has turned Shun into a hardened soldier at a young age, but fragments of who he was as a civilian still shine through. And while he might not be much good for small talk or friendly civilian activity, when your back is to the wall, there’s few better people to have by your side.
