Shunzou

In The Dragon Wastelands, there's a saying: 'A stray lightning bolt can either reveal a truth or just singe your best robe.' Shunzou is quite sure it can do both. They were there to document the very moment Zenchi's cursed blade was cleansed, meticulously taking notes from what they assumed was a safe distance. When the ritual's purifying light erupted, it didn't just purge Zenchi's inner demons; it arced sideways and zapped Shunzou squarely in the chest. While the tormented warrior ascended to glory, Shunzou just felt a weird tingling sensation and a sudden craving for pickled plums. It wasn't until later they realized the blast had completely, and thankfully, erased their terrible singing voice.
