"I'll handle the brute force. You handle the technique. With my stupidity and your power, we're unstoppable." - Shun to Hiiro


Shun Zhang is the seventh Remnant of Paladin Decen, and served the Shaolin Temple alongside his younger brother Wen "Steel Palm" Zhang (Remnant 8) until he resigned due to his failing aptitude in martial arts. While Wen went on to become a master in the art of kung fu, Shun left the temple and returned to Japan, where his negative thoughts attracted a nearby Oni named Hiiro.

Hiiro was incapable of possessing Zhang due to the latter being a Remnant to Decen. Instead, the two form a friendship. Linked together, Shun and Hiiro made a name for themselves through numerous pranks and antics, many believing the Remnant to be a Yokai. During this time, Shun asks Hiiro to teach him the ways of the samurai through Japanese Martial Arts, as he felt that he would never be able to catch up to his brother in Chinese Martial Arts. However, Hiiro declines and reveals that he is actually of Chinese descent, and that his specialization is in the Chinese Martial Art Practice Hung Ga. Forging a deal with the Oni, Shun is able to tap into Hiiro's power and access his demonic power through his martial arts.

Shun soon makes his presence known as a frightening martial artist through the powers of the Oni, and continues his mayhem until he is discovered by the gods, who hired the Remnant-Oni hybrid to fight in their supernatural wars against one another as a part time bounty hunter. These tasks cause Shun to move around the world, and eventually landing in America, where he becomes a citizen.


Shun soon makes enough money to return to China, in which he began challenging numerous masters in duels, in hopes to find his brother and challenge him to a fight using his new demonic powers.


Appearance

Shun appears to be of asian descent, standing at 175 cm tall, with a muscular physique, weighing at 170 pounds. Shun possesses black spiky hair, clipped short, and streaked magenta at the ends, as well as bright magenta eyes like his father, Paladin Decen. However, his face is described to be mischievous and akin to a troublemaker. To the point where many shopkeepers exercise caution whenever he is around.


Shun wears a black hoodie with a recognizable pink zipper, and dark blue track pants. He also wears a pair of white sneakers, but will swap it out for black boots if he is in combat, as he dislikes his shoes getting stained. During his years in the Shaolin Temple as a disciple with Wen, Shun wore blue Shaolin robes and sandals, and his hair was shaved clean off.


When in his Wicked Oni transformation, features of Hiiro manifest through his facial features, as he takes on a redder tone, spiked teeth, and snake like eyes. His nails become darker and sharper, and his tongue becomes longer. Additionally, his hair grows longer and takes on a purple tint.


Powers

Superhuman Strength: Shun awakened Decen's superhuman strength around the same time his brother did, during their training as Shaolin Disciples. By training seven hours a day every day, the two brothers' bodies began to adapt accordingly. Although this strength was not as prominent compared to Decen, Shun found himself able to compensate for his lack of technique by simply overwhelming his opponent with his sheer power.

Minor Evolution: A power that was inherited by one of Decen's Absorbed Abilities, Shun became able to adapt his body to any situation, although the process takes a lot longer than his Father. Shun was largely unaware of this ability, as the power only once activated during his nonstop training in the Temple, where he wished for more strength. This power was what gave him an exceptionally muscular physique. However, due to Shun's laziness, he neglected to practice all of the stances in his curriculum, frequently skipping classes, leading to the Disciple to manifest a bulkier physique than his classmates, leading to a decrease in his speed.

Yokai Possessed: Although not formally a possession, when Hiiro merged with Shun, the two formed a master-servant relationship. Hiiro became Shun's familiar, and thus provided the Remnant with his own power. This drastically increased all of Shun's physical attributes, and allowed him to access parts of the Wicked Oni in battle.

  • Hiiro's Battle Memories: Shun is able to access Hiiro's memories during his many years terrorizing Japan as an Oni. This provided Shun with battle experience which would manifest in terms of his fighting style through his subconscious. Hiiro's fighting style is considered by many to be extremely ferocious, due to possessing the mastery of Hung Ga, but also the explosive aggression of a Yokai.
  • Heightened Reflexes: Hiiro possesses superhuman senses, and when transferred to Shun, provides the Remnant with heightened reflexes. Shun describes the feeling as an itch on the back of his head, or a compulsive urge to move in a certain way to avoid danger that he would otherwise not be able to see or detect using his own senses.
  • Demon Speed: Essentially considered an Oni himself, Shun is able to tap into Hiiro's innate Yokai physical parameters. This includes Hiiro's immense speed. Many martial arts masters who have fought Shun describe his speed as that of a "demon", due to the impossible speed that he is able to deliver his kicks and strikes. This was such to the point where some masters have pointed out that Shun may not only have replicated the No Shadow Kick, but had evolved it to the Chained Shadowless Kick. Combined with Shun's innate superhuman strength, the Remnant's combat prowess increased drastically.
  • Wicked Oni Transformation: If Shun chooses, he can give total control to Hiiro for at most fifty seconds. While in this state, the roles are reversed, and Hiiro has full access to his powers, as well as a portion of Shun's abilities. The Wicked Oni Transformation was so powerful that Shun was able to easily defeat several of the deities through simple hand to hand combat, while otherwise he would have struggled without the form.


Fighting Styles

Due to sharing his body with Hiiro, Shun possesses two sets of fighting styles. However, due to Shun's incapability to really learn martial arts, he relies frequently on Hiiro's styles over his own. However, he will use his own styles if the opponent is not as powerful or if he needs to conserve Hiiro's energy. Using too much of Hiiro's styles will cause Hiiro to fall asleep, much to Shun's annoyance.


Shun's Martial Arts Styles

Wing Chun (Beginner): This is the first martial art that Shun picked up alongside his brother. The two attempted to learn the style on their own time while also learning the Shaolin curriculum in an attempt to win the attention of the monks. However, unlike his brother, Shun did not possess a talent in learning the art, and thus his skill in Wing Chun was very lacking. He is, however, able to use the forms in combat, but can at most defeat several goons or uninitiated opponents. Against fellow martial artists, he is severely outclassed.

  • Chain Punch: This was the only move that Shun managed to remember due to it "looking badass". Combined with his superhuman strength, Shun's variant of Chain Punch became extremely powerful, but was significantly slower than other Wing Chun users.
  • Demon Chain Punch: Upon using Hiiro's Demon Speed, Shun was able to effectively perform the Chain Punch with even greater speed. This skill, although well known amongst masters, was still unavoidable due to the sheer speed of the punches landed by an Oni enhanced Shun.

Shaolin Kung Fu (Beginner-Disciple): Similar to his case with Wing Chun, Shun's skill in Shaolin Kung Fu is below the aptitude demonstrated by other disciples. Even those who are new to the art found themselves outclassing Shun due to his lack of flexibility and speed. After evolving his body and gaining a muscular physique, Shun's strength increased significantly, and he used this to his advantage, offsetting his slow and limited movements with superior and powerful strikes. Shun's strength was to the point where he was able to knock away a training dummy several feet with a single punch. However, this was still not enough, as a sparring match with his fellow disciples showed that even if his strikes were powerful, if an opponent was faster than him, he was still at a disadvantage.

Kickboxing (Beginner): Shun attempted to learn Kickboxing during his time in America, but failed due to his lack of aptitude in learning martial arts.

Taekwondo (Beginner): Shun also attempted to learn Taekwondo in Korea, but was again, unable to master the style due to his lack of intelligence in martial arts.


Hiiro's Transplanted Martial Arts Styles

Hung Ga (Master - Grandmaster): Hiiro claims to have been a master martial artist, perhaps even approaching grandmaster, before turning into an Oni, to the point where he used this art to perform heinous acts such as assassination, murder, and war. Due to essentially using these skills for his own criminal gain, he was banished from the school by his master, where his style of Hung Ga underwent a significant evolution. Hiiro's implementation of Hung Ga specialized in low stances, frightening speed, and fierce strikes, with an emphasis on "overwhelming the enemy with unstoppable, unavoidable, undetectable strikes until victory". Hiiro speculates that his use of the "tiger claw stance" was what made him manifest claws when he was turned into an Oni.

When Shun uses Hung Ga, he is essentially allowing Hiiro's movements to take over his body. Many masters recognize Hiiro's unique style, and describe Shun as a "cursed martial artist" due to his unorthodox emphasis on aggressive strikes with low defense. Combined with Shun's superhuman strength, aggressive and master level technique, many fighters in Japan described him as a "Yokai", and fighters in China described him as a "Yaoguai". Fighters in America describe Shun as a "demon possessed martial arts master".

  • True Shadowless Kick: While many believed such a kick was merely fictional, Hiiro reveals that there were a few masters who were capable of delivering the No Shadow Kick with great effectiveness. With Hiiro, he was one of the few that had mastered what he describes as the "True Shadowless Kick", in which he is capable of delivering a kick so fast and undetectable that his entire body appears motionless during the action. Hiiro claims that modern day implementations of the kick using distraction is but an imitation of the technique, hence why he coined the term "true" in the technique.
  • True Chained Shadowless Kick: Upon transforming into an Oni, Hiiro's speed and physical parameters were increased to a superhuman level. This meant a significant upgrade to all of his moves and technique. This boost was to the point where he discovered that he was capable of delivering multiple True Shadowless Kicks in succession, a feat that many would consider impossible. This move was coined the Chained Shadowless Kick, or the Chained No Shadow Kick, and can only be performed by Hiiro, and later, Shun, who uses Hiiro's powers.


Elemental Kenjutsu: Air and Earth Style (Master): Hiiro, in his human years after his banishment from his school, moved to Japan, where he used his background in Chinese Martial Arts to learn Japanese Martial Arts. There, he took part in the training of the sword, and learned kenjutsu. During this time, Hiiro attracted the attention of a select group of samurai masters by practicing his True Shadowless Kick in the forest, outside of the Elemental Air Style Kenjutsu school. There, Hiiro learned Elemental Kenjutsu, a swordsmanship style that emphasized the use of soul energy to manipulate the elements. Hiiro, a genius in martial arts, picked up the teachings of the samurai extremely quickly, then proceeded to learn the Earth Style. However, as with the Hung Ga school, Hiiro used these teachings for his own personal gain, committing crimes and disgracing the school, leading to his banishment. Tarnishing the name of both Air and Earth schools, Hiiro was hunted down by numerous samurai, and was ultimately killed. Hiiro reveals that the endless sin and lack of repentance during his death was what corrupted his soul and turned him into an Oni.

Shun, when calling upon Hiiro's kenjutsu, is able to tap into these styles, but requires the use of Hiiro's Sentient Katana, Tomone. Unfortunately, Shun has lost Tomone countless times, leaving her on the bus, or forgetting to pick her up in restaurants. On one occasion, Shun attempted to draw Tomone and inspect the blade in front of several girls to impress them, but made the mistake of calling Tomone "flat", causing her to cry, greatly angering Hiiro. Due to this, Shun is only allowed to wield Tomone whenever he is in his Wicked Oni Transformation, as Hiiro does not trust the Remnant with his weapon.


Converging River Fist (Grandmaster): Following Hiiro's banishment from the Earth Elemental Kenjutsu school, Hiiro was hunted by numerous samurai for defiling their teachings. During this time, Hiiro adopted a new fighting style that attempted to combine Earth and Air Styles along with his Hung Ga. However, Hiiro was unsuccessful as his Kenjutsu and his Hung Ga did not provide any effective overlap in combat.

However, many years later, upon merging with Shun's soul, the Oni discovered that these styles could be linked with his Wing Chun. Upon losing a match against Master Leung's "Sixty-Four Hands" technique, Hiiro attempted to integrate Shun's Wing Chun into his Hung Ga, but was unsuccessful. Upon Shun suggesting that they make a new style altogether, an enraged Hiiro berated the amateur martial artist, calling his suggestion absurd. However, later on, Hiiro develops the "Converging River Fist", its very purpose, to use movements capable of linking other martial arts styles and having them converge into a single style like a river.

The Converging River Fist integrates the grappling and strikes of Wing Chun with the low stances of Hung Ga, along with the grace and fluidity of the Air Style, and the fortitude of the Earth Style. Upon spending several months training and learning the technique, Hiiro masters the moves and challenges Leung once more. The duel ends in a victory to Shun and Hiiro.

  • Infinity Shadowless Chain Punch: Taking aspects of the Hung Ga Shadowless Kick, the Air Style Typhoon Blade Flurry, and the Wing Chun Chain Fist, Shun delivers an uncountable volley of punches at a near supersonic speed, undetectable, and blinding due to the integration of the Air Style. When Shun used this move against Master Leung, Leung's defences were breached by the sheer speed and amount of punches coming his way, along with the flurry that blinded his eyes.
  • Two Thousand Hands Technique: Hiiro develops this form upon inspecting Leung's Sixty Four Hands technique, recognizing the importance of using all the body parts in combat, Hiiro took Leung's style and brought the form to its theoretical limits. By using every aspect of the body, every limb and joint, along with the defensive properties of the Earth Style, Hiiro developed a form that was virtually impregnable. When Shun used the Two Thousand Hands technique, Leung was shocked at the martial artist's ability to quickly adapt his fighting style and integrate it into his own.


Personality

Shun is described to be mischievous and unpredictable. Due to his time in the Shaolin Temple being below the average in martial arts aptitude, Shun found creative ways to keep up with his fellow disciples. Modifying his technique to better suit his superhuman strength, emphasizing distractions and disorienting movements to slow his opponents down, or even making snide remarks to lose their focus in a fight.

Unfortunately, like his progenitor, Shun occasionally stoops low with his taunts, such as mocking Master Guan's breast size to make her lose focus, or releasing flatulence to defeat Master Yin's heightened senses during duels.

Shun is also rather childish and gullible, traits that Hiiro likes capitalizing on. Due to the two sharing the same body, Hiiro has multiple times, convinced the former Shaolin Warrior Monk in training to frequent nightclubs, reasoning that interacting with the strippers would train in mental fortitude. Shun's visits to the nightclub ended up to the point where he had become a regular and changing the slogan from "Brings Men to their Knees" to "Brings even Monks to their Knees". This news was met extremely poorly by the Shaolin Temple.


During his time in Japan, Shun had Hiiro act as his "guardian" and enrol in high school. There, he made friends with several of his classmates. However, due to his poor memory, Shun has multiple times forgotten the names of his friends. For instance, referring to Hinata as "Girl 1", and her boyfriend, Hayato, as "Girl 1's Guy". Many of Shun's classmates see Zhang as a complete buffoon, due to his idiotic personality and is often put off by his random loud outbursts whenever he is excited. However, despite this, they found Shun to be an important person in their lives, someone who shone like a beam of light and was an advocate of positivity.

When Hayato and Hinata discover that Shun is "The Yokai Martial Artist", that had become infamous for his brutal victories, the two did not end their friendship with Shun, something that moved Shun to tears. Shun became extremely attached to the two, such that when Hiiro told Shun that it was time to leave Japan and continue his journey to China to find his brother, Shun was very reluctant.


Shun has a very difficult time expressing his more vulnerable side to others, even his friends. Upon learning that he had to leave Hinata and Hayato behind, he claimed it was because he "was not interested in partaking a romcom anime" with the two. Upon returning to China, Shun kept a locket containing a group photo of the three around his neck, so he would never forget them when he left Japan.


Trivia

  • Shun is afraid of the dark.
  • Shun has multiple times, stated that his dream is to become crazy rich with his earnings from martial arts tournaments so he could afford a harem who feeds him gyoza every day.
  • Shun claims his IQ is 350, but Hiiro and Tomone believe Shun may have added an extra zero.
  • Shun is lactose intolerant, and has a habit of describing his stool in disturbing detail.
  • Shun wishes to grow long hair so he could tie it up, and has a phobia for razors.
  • Shun thinks ramen is for old people, which angers Hiiro who loves ramen.
  • It is speculated that Shun's poor memory may have been a trait of Decen, who had a habit of ignoring and forgetting details that he finds unimportant in battle.
  • Shun finds tall women scary.
  • Shun used to love deer, playing with them back when he was in Nara. However, after an incident where Shun dropped his favourite erotic novel and had it eaten by a deer, causing him to cry, Shun grew to dislike them greatly. Shun claims that part of the reason why he has trained in martial arts was to some day wreak vengeance on the deer that ate his novel.
  • Shun gained physical form in Nara, Japan. However, he has stated that his ethnicity is Chinese. Upon landing most of his contracts in America, he also obtained an American Citizenship. In total, Shun is American, Japanese, and Chinese.
  • Shun speaks fluent Japanese and Mandarin. However, Shun claims that although he was born in Japan, and grew up hearing the Japanese language, his brain was hardwired to speak Mandarin since conception. Shun is also fluent in English, making him trilingual.
  • Shun doesn't know how to read English or Japanese, as both languages were taught to him. He frequently asks Hinata to read the menu for him in restaurants.
  • Shun believes drinking ramen broth gives bad luck.
  • Although Shun is 175 cm, which is considered very tall in Japanese standards, Shun is still self conscious about his height, thinking he is too short. This feeling only intensified when he arrived in America, where the height standard is even taller.
  • Shun believes himself to be a master cook, which is not the case. After nearly starving to death due to Hiiro refusing to experience the taste of Shun's cooking, Hiiro convinces Shun to visit Hinata's house and get her to cook for him. Whenever Hinata accidentally adds olives to the food, Shun throws a tantrum.
  • Shun's BDS (Bench, Deadlift, Squat) numbers are 150 kg, 272 kg, and 226 kg. Upon using Hiiro's powers, these numbers increase to 226 kg, 500 kg, and 592 kg, which breaks world record pound for pound lifts. However, to preserve his identity as a Yokai Possessed, these lifts were done in secret.
  • Shun's nickname in the Shaolin Temple was "Slow Fat Guy", due to his bulky muscular physique, and lack of speed in his movements. Upon learning of Shun's apparent frequent visits to a nightclub, the disciples changed Shun's nickname to "Slow Fat Pervert". Shun appears not bothered by this, and introduced himself to Hinata and Hayato using this nickname.
