His journey is defined by a mix of restraint and decisive action as he pursues truth, vengeance, and family reconciliation. He earns the identity Flying Fox through his swift, precise swordplay and relentless pursuit of justice.

His blindness and reliance on trusted friends anchor the human cost of revenge and the value of true alliance. He visa-versa demonstrates how restraint can coexist with ferocity in a masterful swordsman.
