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

"Long ago, there was a boy who had a dream. A dream to become a great fighter, with a pure and unwavering heart. This boy trained and worked hard, until he became one of the greatest martial artists in existence. That guy is my brother. I cheated and ripped off someone else's martial arts. Now give me my payment." - Shun Zhang

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 formed an alliance. Struggling to make a living, Shun and Hiiro visit numerous criminal organizations and becomes a bounty hunter for the Red Eye Gang, and is tasked to fight and defeat numerous kung fu masters and spread fear in both Japan and China. Each fight making the Remnant stronger and gaining reputation as one of the most feared martial artists in the gang.

After gang was dismantled, Shun and Hiiro moved to the town of Folia, there, the two contracted work as adventurers, frequenting the Dungeons. Due to Shun's incredible combat prowess, Shun and Hiiro secretly sneak past the Dungeon Raiding Teams and descend the levels far below the other adventurers. Making a living by fighting and destroying extremely high level monsters in secret. Eventually, Shun joins a Legion under the god Volc, hoping he could make more money for his caretaker, Granny Bethel.

After hearing about the horrific stories of The True Demon Lord of Iaia, Shun vows to avenge his fellow adventurers by slaying the Black Dragon, unbeknownst to him that the very person he was trying to kill was Remnant 4.

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 baggy torn blue shorts. He also wears a pair of white Nike sneakers, but will swap it out for a pair of ragged black sneakers if he is in combat, as he dislikes his white shoes getting stained. Along his hands are white bandages that wrap all the way up to his forearms. It is revealed that Shun has blistering problems on the palms of his hands whenever he exerts himself. 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.

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.

After training and fighting with Hiiro, Shun's body continued to adapt and evolve, losing the excess muscle mass for a more lean physique, and thus regaining his original speed. Additionally, Shun's eyesight evolved to perceive actions in microseconds.

Once Shun began Dungeoneering and cleared the 100th level, his body adapted to withstand the blows of the mythical Triple Horned Dragon, which is said to possess one of the most powerful physical attacks known to man.

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.

• Demonic 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, Later Disciple): 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.

• Infinite 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.

• Tomone's Ceremony of Roses: Hiiro summons Tomone and delivers an uncountable number of slashes at a blinding speed. Using the Air Style, the slashes project outwards beyond the katana's reach, using the Hung Ga style, the slashes are delivered are undetected as the user appears stationary, using the Wing Chun style, the slashes are delivered quickly and efficiently. Hiiro names the Form after Tomone, as she loved roses, and the aftereffect typically was a shower of blood from his targets. As this move is a Kenjutsu Form that requires Tomone to perform, Shun is not permitted to use it unless he is in his Wicked Oni Transformation.
