Shigure (Tales of Berseria)

How Shigure joined the Tourney
A legate-rank exorcist from the Abbey. He is Rokurou's older brother and the head of their family. They use a unique fighting style in their aims to become the strongest warriors. Though a legate, he has a free-spirited attitude unappreciated by the serious-minded exorcists. He justifies his carefree behavior with his battle prowess. His sole joy is to fight tough opponents and seems to enjoy it when his opponent is stronger. He will never turn down a new challenge whenever it arises.

At the second Tourney, Shigure issued a challenge to one Sami.

Rangetsu Eagle (Final Smash)
Shigure appears before a dark, cloudy atmosphere announcing "I don't even need to dodge! It'll be the same every time!" and lifts his blade into the air before slamming it to the ground, shouting the attack's name and unleashing a momentous amount of power that ruptures the ground, dealing damage to the target in several flashes of energy. In fights against Rokurou, if the player using him press B at the right moment of Shigure's Final Smash starting, Shigure clashes blades with Rokurou, sending both men backward. The move inflicts damage to both Shigure and Rokurou, preventing the targeting and damaging of other players on the field.
