Short Bio: Yurimaru
Elegant, lethal, and loyal to a fault, Yurimaru is one of the Eight Devils of Kimon—Gemma’s second-in-command and most refined executioner. He doesn’t wield a sword; instead, he dispatches enemies with electrified wires, delivering death with the precision of a calligrapher’s brushstroke.
Reserved and calculating, Yurimaru’s devotion to Gemma borders on obsession, adding a layer of tragic longing to his otherwise cold demeanor. His beauty is striking, his methods clinical, and his fate—like so many in Ninja Scroll—sealed by betrayal.
