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 talking about Kishuna

Kishuna (Japanese: キシュナ Kishuna) was one of Nergal's earlier creations, being his 252nd morph,[1] and intentionally created with the capacity to feel emotion.

Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade

Role

Kishuna's creation.

Kishuna is a mysterious enemy character who appears throughout Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. 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 Chapter 18xE/19xH, much to Aion's chagrin.[2] 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 18xE/19xH.[3] 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.[4] Defeating Kishuna here is one of the requirements for proceeding to Chapter 19x pt 2; if he is defeated here, Kishuna does not die, merely teleporting to safety upon defeat.

Kishuna's next appearance is in Chapter 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.[5] 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 Chapter 32x, Nils mentions that his magic sealing aura no longer feels hostile and instead is filled with sorrow.[6] 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.[7]

Personality

Kishuna is very much a character that keeps to himself, not speaking a single word until his death. Considering his last word was Nergal's name, Kishuna seems to have still held some feelings towards Nergal after being rejected.

Trivia

The unused CG.
  • Kishuna is the only morph not explicitly modeled after a specific human to have an affinity.
  • In the 0206 and 0219 prototype builds, Kishuna uses Ein's portrait from Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade.
  • Nergal specifically mentions that Kishuna is his 252nd morph in Japanese,[1] though this specific number was omitted in the localization.[8]
  • There is an unused CG in The Blazing Blade that may feature Kishuna; it may also have been intend to be used in Chapter 32x rather than re-use the CG from Chapter 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.
