Who Is Sanjuro?

Sanjuro is a ronin-like Heavy Blade who trains Shugo and treats The World’s combat with old-school honor.

Disciplined, dramatic, protective, and suspicious of cowardly or unfair play. He plays the warrior role sincerely.

Katana-focused Heavy Blade skill, mentoring, monster-fighting experience, and clear judgment under pressure.

Sanjuro helps Shugo grow from lucky avatar owner into someone who can actually stand in a fight for Rena.
