Kaze
| ||||||||||||||||
|
“ | Though I have served the royal family for some time, I serve no single master. I've always been troubled by this fact, but perhaps Lady Mikoto arranged it... so that someday, when the time was right, I could serve you, Lord/Lady Corrin. If you will have me, then I will pledge myself to you. | ” | — Kaze, swearing his loyalty to Corrin. |
---|
Kaze (Japanese: スズカぜ Suzukaze) is a character in Fire Emblem Fates. He is a ninja in the service of Ryoma. Kaze forms the red-green duo with his brother Saizo, despite not being cavaliers. Unlike his brother, he accompanies Corrin regardless of their decision. He is calm and polite.
Biography
Kaze and his older twin brother, Saizo, are members of a ninja clan from Igasato that has proudly served the Hoshidan royal family for several generations. Trained from a young age, Kaze became an exemplary ninja.
Before the decision
Kaze was trained in the way of the ninja from a very young age. When Sumeragi attempted to parley with Garon by the latter's suggestion, he was attacked by Nohrian soldiers and later killed by Garon. Since then Kaze has regretted that he never went with his gut instincts that told him something was amiss. In a support conversation with Corrin, he admitted to that regret as well as apologized for being the cause of Corrin being separated from their family.
Kaze is first seen early in the game as a prisoner captured by Nohrian soldiers. Along with Rinkah, Kaze was forced to battle against Corrin. Corrin would then stand against Garon to spare them, but Leo knocks Kaze and Rinkah out while Xander orders them to flee before Garon found out. Later, Kaze is seen again when Rinkah captures Corrin, where he promptly calls them "prince/princess Corrin" before guiding them to the capital of Hoshido. Kaze assists the other Hoshidans in fending off invisible soldiers attacking Hoshido.
Birthright
Kaze follows Corrin through series of battles after their decision to side with Hoshido. He is seen guiding them to the Wind Tribe where they are attacked by Faceless monsters, to which both dispatch. After finding out it was a trick by Iago, the group fights against the Wind Tribe and meets up with the leader of the Wind Tribe, Fuga.
In Chapter 15, Kaze and Corrin defeat the Wolfskin tribe. After the battle, the ground splits open and Corrin falls into the hole, only to be saved by Kaze. If Corrin has an A support with Kaze, he will strike an explosive gem found in the chasm which propels the two to safety. If Corrin does not have an A support with Kaze, he will confess his regrets about failing to stop Corrin's kidnapping and throw Corrin to Hinoka before falling to his death.
Conquest
Kaze initially abandons Corrin after their decision to side with Nohr. He is next seen defending the Rainbow Sage in Notre Sagesse under the command of Hinoka in Chapter 11. After the battle, he overhears Corrin discussing their plans to save both Hoshido and Nohr. Swayed by their earnest desire for peace, Kaze defects to Corrin's side. Unlike his fate in Birthright, Kaze will have no story plot that involves in his eventual demise.
The westernmost chest in Chapter 26 is subject to an intriguing oddity related to Kaze's weapon level. If Kaze's shuriken rank is B or higher, the chest will yield a Spy's Shuriken. If it is still his base rank of C, it will yield a Spy's Yumi instead.
Revelation
Corrin refuses to side with either Hoshido or Nohr and is forced to go into hiding. Kaze reappears at the conclusion of Chapter 8 after convincing Saizo not to commit suicide in order to eliminate Corrin and he, along with Sakura, decides to join Corrin's cause to take down Anankos. He rejoins with the same stats he had at the conclusion of Chapter 5 before the route split.
