Madoushi

From Final Fantasy Wiki

Madoushi (魔道士, lit. Magician), real name Kiri (赤い霧, Akai Kiri lit. Red Mist), is one of the characters of Final Fantasy: Unlimited. The older brother of Makenshi, he looks similar except for his red clothes and hair. Like Makenshi, he wears a veil over his face because he breathes out Mist. Originally his younger brother's only friend, Madoushi taught Makenshi everything he knew in the art of combat. Madoushi was voiced by David Stokey in the English version and Hideyuki Tanaka in the Japanese version. Additionally, in the Japanese cast list for the English ADV release, his character name is given as "Magic Taoist." Taoism is a system of philosophical and religious concepts and practices in various Asian cultures, emphasizing ideas as peace, "non-action," flexibility and receptiveness. Given that Madoushi was out for one thing, vengeance, it can be said that Oscha perverted his true nature when he resurrected him to do battle against Makenshi.

[edit] Story

Much to Madoushi's dismay, however, Makenshi outdid him in swordsmanship. As a result, Madoushi felt himself to be in his younger brother's shadow and wanted to see who was stronger, even after he died when Chaos attacked their world to prove himself stronger.

He initially appears as one of Oscha's plot to stall the protagonists, however it was to feed Chaos with Makenshi's horror of facing his own brother as Madoushi had intended to see once and for all who was the greater brother. But Makenshi was reluctantly forced to take his brother down for good. Makenshi still thinks about Madoushi, wondering if his brother intended the fight to go that way.

After Chaos is defeated, Crux discovered Madoushi's grave in the ruins of Mistaria. There she discovers a crystal that contained Madoushi's power, and by instinct sought to give it to Makenshi. With the crystal, Makenshi receives his brother's Mist powers, and becomes able to wield the Cross Sword (transformed from Crux) alongside his own.

[edit] Fighting Style

Madoushi carries a Maken weapon similar to that of Makenshi's. With it, he is capable of executing powerful swordplay moves as well as a dangerous Flare Sword attack. He also uses it to imprison Kaze in a pyramid. He also employs Mist, like Makenshi. His powerful red Mist is capable of immobilizing his enemies. Additionally, he uses a Mist attack, "Pure Red Requiem!," to transform into a Mist Dragon.
