Appearance and Personality
Edit
Like many character models in Final Fantasy X-2, Shinra is recycled from a completely unrelated NPC from Final Fantasy X. He wears a mask with an ochre visor, and a brown full-body suit with lime green mittens. His suit has a blue collar.
Although Shinra is intelligent and knows it, he is still very much a child and is often heard singing the Gullwings' theme song. When faced with a conundrum the others expect him to solve, he retorts with: "I'm just a kid!" Shinra cuddles up to Yuna before she departs for the Farplane, like a child saying goodbye to his mother or elder sister.

Shinra's BestiaryEdit
- Main article: Shinra's Bestiary
Shinra offers the reward of the excellent Garment Grid The End for the completing the optional activity of recording visual data of the applicable monsters in the game in their Oversoul states. Once enemies have been encountered in Oversoul state they are listed in red in Shinra's enemy database; however, he only lists enemy statistics for regular enemies.
Strongest ShinraEdit
- "I think I'll give this fighting thing a try."
- —Strongest Shinra
In Final Fantasy X-2 International + Last Mission, while using an Ultima Weapon he later upgraded into an Omega Weapon as part of his researching the Farplane's energy, Shinra is consumed in the fiend's pyreflies and is transformed into the Strongest Shinra.
The story behind it is that Shinra tried to manufacture the dark energy in the Farplane, and was possessed by the Omega Weapon. When defeated, Shinra apparently returns to normal.
Connection to Final Fantasy VIIEdit
Both Final Fantasy VII Ultimania Omega and the Final Fantasy X-2 Ultimania, suggest that Shinra of Final Fantasy X-2 has a connection to the company of the same name in Final Fantasy VII.
From Final Fantasy VII Ultimania Omega:[1]
- "Shinra is a boy who supports the Gullwings, the group which the main protagonist, Yuna, belongs to. He carries a name that gives him an association to the Shin-Ra Company, and he is researching a method that could utilize the energy of "the life force that flows through our planet." The results of this cannot be seen in FFX-2, but maybe one day his descendants will establish a "company that supplies the energy of the planet"?"
In the Final Fantasy X-2 Ultimania Kazushige Nojima said the following:[1]
- "After quitting the Gullwings, Shinra received enormous financial support from Rin, and began trying to use Vegnagun to siphon Mako Energy from the Farplane. But, he is unable to complete the system for utilizing this energy in his generation, and in the future, when traveling to distant planets becomes possible, the Shin-Ra Company is founded on another world, or something like that....... That would happen about 1000 years after this story, I think."
