Biography

History

Kaze was a student at Roku's Duel Sanctuary, but after Dueling him and losing his faith, he grabbed a sword and slashed a statue of "Blade Armor Ninja", cutting it in half. Afterwards, he left the Duel Sanctuary and hadn't been seen since.[1]

Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL

After Yuma Tsukumo and his friends went to the Duel Sanctuary to help Roku out, Kaze showed up again and challenged his former master to a Duel, which he easily won. He then ran inside and went to take the Legendary Deck, but was stopped by Yuma, who challenged him to a Duel.[2]

As the Duel progressed, both continued to overthrow each others' strategies and it was revealed that all of Kaze's hatred caused him to become possessed by a "Number" card, "Number 12: Crimson Shadow Armor Ninja". Kaze ultimately lost when Yuma Summoned "Number 39: Utopia" and defeated his "Number". He then went to slash the statue again, but was stopped by Yuma who convinced him that it was wrong, to which he apologized and began to study at the Duel Sanctuary again.[1]

After the Barians began to invade Earth, Kaze and Roku became aware of the crisis in Heartland and went to aid Yuma. When Yuma was rendered unable to Duel, they appeared and attacked the Emperors with smoke bombs, allowing Yuma to escape. When Girag attempted to give chase, they blocked his path and challenged him to a Duel. Kaze commented that Girag was no match against him and Roku combined, but Girag commenced a Chaos Draw alongside the other Emperors as he looked on in shock.[5] This let him use "Rank-Up-Magic - The Seventh One" to bring out "Number C106: Giant Red Hand". Kaze claimed that even if their bodies perished, the "blades of their hearts" would not be shattered. Girag defeated them both, with Kaze saying that he regretted nothing as their souls departed for the Barian World.[6]

Kaze and Roku alive

Kaze and Roku revived.

After Nash was defeated by Yuma, Kaze was revived as the fusion of Earth and the Barian World was stopped and the Barian Pipe released all the souls it contained. Kaze reappeared at the same spot where he and Roku were defeated by Girag and smiled towards the sky, knowing that Yuma saved them.[7]
