Zi-Lan is a member of The Sixteen Warriors of Hades Phoenix Island. He and Spartacus are the personal bodyguards of Todo Hyoei and are selected by him for the final three battles alongside his own son, Todo Gouki. He is the first of them to fight and goes up against Date Omito.
Appearance[]
Zi-Lan sports a delicate face similar to Hien, with long light-colored hair. He wears light colored clothing with a pair of shoulder pads, a big belt, and a pair of boots as well as kneepads.
In his Carddass card, he is depicted as having light blue hair and a lilac colored outfit, while in the pachislot game, his outfit is colored white, with his shoulderpads, belt, and boots all being black, and his hair being colored lilac instead.
Personality[]
Due to his tough childhood, Zi-Lan is a ruthless and cruel person, but he still maintains a human side, as he stepped down when he realize Date Omito went through the exact same things as he did.
Powers and Abilities[]
Due to him specializing in the Thousand-Day Whirlwind Mirror, a technique that involves imitating every last move an opponent makes, down to using the same weapon as they do, it is safe to assume that Zi-Lan is incredibly intelligent, to the point where he can predict every last movement his opponent makes, and can think and react at speeds that are beyond excellent as well.
Also, if his Thousand-Day Whirlwind Mirror is defeated, he carries a dagger coated in powerful poison that paralyzes the optic nerves of it's victims on his person to fall back on.
Techniques[]
Thousand-Day Whirlwind Mirror (千日颮鏡, Sennichi Hokyo): Zi-Lan is able to mirror his opponent's every move, using the same weaponry as his opponent. His intention is to irritate his opponent, and strike them when their guard is down. He can also use his opponent's movement against them to increase his own striking power.
History[]
Early Life[]
Zi-Lan was one of the orphans forced to take part in the Lone Slaughter Battle and was the only survivor from among a hundred children.
Sometimes later, he would be taken as one of Todo Hyoei's personal bodyguards, and served under him for an unknown amount of time.
Great Heaven-Challenging Olympic Tournament[]
Seeing that the best warriors of Hades Phoenix Island had fallen after the power of Otokojuku, Todo Hyoei decided to use Spartacus and Zi-Lan, two of his best bodyguards, to accompany his son in the final battles.
Zi-Lan would be pitted against Date Omito, who he would imitate as part of his strategy to defeat him.
Initially, Zi-Lan seems successful, able to break Date's spear and even pierce him in the chest as a result of perfectly imitating his moves, irritating him and enabling Zi-Lan to create openings. However, Zi-Lan is fooled by Date's improvised technique, No Romn Mad Dog, forcing him to abandon his spear.
In desperation, Zi-Lan attacked Date with a poisoned knife that would throw off his vision, and revealed that he was a survivor of the Lone Slaughter Battle. As a fellow survivor, Date empathized with him, causing Zi-Lan to admit his defeat.
