Yayotarou

The most feared duelist in Waterfall City’s grand plaza never lost a match for glory. Their only defeat came quietly, delivered by a soft-spoken chimp who mended fishing boats down by the river. Yayotarou, who held the same fearless ambition as Bushi, saw this gentleness as a liability—a weakness to be exploited or discarded. But they found themself returning to the water's edge, drawn not by a challenge, but by a calm they had never known. The shocked look they wear is not from a surprise attack; it is the permanent state of realizing that their heart could be conquered without a single blow. Their resilience, once a tool for battle, is now used to protect a fragile peace they would never have chosen, but cannot bear to live without.
