Kishuna: Difference between revisions

'''Kishuna''' (Japanese: {{hl|キシュナ|Kishuna}} ''Kishuna'') was one of [[Nergal]]'s earlier creations, being his 252nd [[morph]],<ref name=number>{{Cite|{{hl|お前は、私が初めて感情を与えたモルフ。|You are the first morph that I have given emotion.}} {{hl|素体０２５２ではふさわしくあるまい。|Simply calling you body 0252 would not be fitting.}}|[[Nergal]] (Japanese release)|The Blazing Blade}}</ref> and intentionally created with the capacity to feel emotion.

Kishuna is a mysterious enemy character who appears throughout {{FE7}}. His true intentions are unknown, but Kishuna has a tendency to appear before [[Lyn]], [[Eliwood]], and [[Hector]] during their travels.

Kishuna's first appearance is in [[Imprisoner of Magic|Chapter&nbsp;18xE/19xH]], much to [[Aion]]'s chagrin.<ref>{{cite|Wha-What?! The magic power of this place... The source is... distorted... I... I can't use any of my magic!|[[Aion]]|The Blazing Blade}}</ref> Being within a certain proximity to Kishuna also seems to evoke unease and agitation; Lyn and Hector are shown to fall under such effects in Chapter&nbsp;18xE/19xH.<ref>{{Cite|Now that you mention it, I was so irritable... I couldn't let even the smallest thing go by without complaining. ...What could that have been? The Black Fang couldn't use magic either. So it wasn't an ally of theirs...|[[Lyn]]|The Blazing Blade}}</ref> Kishuna always appears accompanied by [[morph]] allies, though Kishuna himself shows no particular acts of aggression other than appearing. His morph companions, however, will attack anyone that comes near. Aion seems to be familiar with Kishuna, but it is unknown how he came to know of the magic seal.<ref>{{cite|A magic{{nwh}} That good-for-nothing has shown his face?! Curses... I'd not forseen this!!|[[Aion]]|The Blazing Blade}}</ref> Defeating Kishuna here is one of the requirements for proceeding to [[A Glimpse in Time|Chapter&nbsp;19x pt 2]]; if he is defeated here, Kishuna does not die, merely teleporting to safety upon defeat.

Kishuna's next appearance is in [[Genesis|Chapter&nbsp;22xE/23xH]]. Lyn, Eliwood, and Hector fall into underground ruins in the desert on their travels to meet [[Athos]]. If the game is in Hector mode, Kishuna has a flashback recalling his creation by [[Nergal]], which does not occur in Eliwood mode. Kishuna is once again accompanied by several morphs. Hector, [[Nils]], and [[Pent]] discuss the thick feeling in the air caused by Kishuna.<ref>{{cite|'''Pent:''' ...Something strange is here. I can feel it in the air.<br>'''Nils:''' Yes! You're right. It feels... thick!<br>'''Hector:''' This strange feeling... I know it... I've felt it before. Back on Valor.<br>'''Nils:''' On the Dread Isle?<br>'''Hector:''' Mm. We first felt it in some ruins near the Dragon's Gate. It was... a prickly feeling that rubbed us all the wrong way. Then, suddenly, everyone's magic stopped working.|[[Hector]], [[Pent]] and [[Nils]]|The Blazing Blade}}</ref> Once again, Kishuna vanishes after being attacked without saying a word. Ninian will later comment that even Kishuna's existence "makes a ruin of nature's most basic laws."

Lastly, Kishuna appears in [[The Value of Life|Chapter&nbsp;32x]], Nils mentions that his magic sealing aura no longer feels hostile and instead is filled with sorrow.<ref>{{cite|What's going on? It feels different than last time. In the desert, its energy felt so hostile... Now, it feels more like ...sorrow?|[[Nils]]|The Blazing Blade}}</ref> The lords defeat Kishuna's morph companions, and, finally, kill Kishuna himself. According to Nils, Kishuna's last words were calling out Nergal's name.<ref>{{cite|But it was still a morph. When it died... I heard its voice call out... It called out a name... Nergal. Did you hear its voice? Sorrow... It was filled with a terrible sorrow.|[[Nils]]|The Blazing Blade}}</ref>

* Nergal specifically mentions that Kishuna is his 252nd morph in Japanese,<ref name=number/> though this specific number was omitted in the localization.<ref>{{Cite|You are the only morph to whom I've given emotions. It won't suffice simply to refer to you as a number. |[[Nergal]] (English release)|The Blazing Blade}}</ref>

* There is an unused CG in ''The Blazing Blade'' that may feature Kishuna; it may also have been intend to be used in [[The Value of Life|Chapter&nbsp;32x]] rather than re-use the CG from [[Genesis|Chapter&nbsp;22xE/23xH]].

*''The Blazing Blade''{{'}}s boss theme table has an entry that assigns Kishuna the battle theme "Rise to the Challenge". As battles involving Kishuna are forced to use map animations, this battle theme assignment is unused.
