“ | Words mean little. Actions are what count. | ” | — Saizo, to Corrin |
---|
Saizo the Fifth, more commonly referred to as simply Saizo (Japanese: サイゾウ Saizou), is a character in Fire Emblem Fates. He is a ninja, and an underling under direct command of Ryoma. Saizo forms the red-green duo with his brother, Kaze, despite not being cavaliers. His personality contrasts his brother; while Kaze is calm, Saizo is hot-blooded and quick to become incensed.
