Deku & Dekuina



Deku (木偶♂, Deku Osu) & Dekuina (木偶♀, Deku Mesu) are characters in the Samurai Shodown series of fighting games. In Japan, they are alternatively called Deku-o and Deku-mi. Deku is voiced by Daiki Nakamura and Dekuina is voiced by Kaori Minami.

Story
Deku and Dekuina are dolls created by Yuga the Destroyer. Yuga was seeking for the two strongests bodies for a perfect ressurection, a female and a male one. It found the female one in Shiki, and the male one in Haohmaru, but in case it failed to achieve both of them, Yuga created the two dolls, Deku (the male one) and Dekuina (the female one). Deku and Dekuina were given superhuman strength, but eventually Yuga used them to ressurect itself, but was eventually destroyed, destroying Deku and Dekuina in the process.

In the Asura-Zanmaden movie, there are several Dekus and Dekuinas.

Personality
They don't have personalities, since they are emotionless dolls.

Powers

 * Superhuman Strength - They were given strength from the Netherworld by Yuga.
 * Float - They are able to float.

Fighting Style
Deku fights with a axe-like weapon, his fighting style mimics both Shura/Slash and Rasetsu/Bust Haohmaru, complete with super move. His own unique super move levitates him into air as he raises hand and unblockable hellfires appear from ground under opponent.

Dekuina fights with two sword-like weapons, her fighting style mimics both Shura/Slash and Rasetsu/Bust Shiki, complete with super move. Her own unique super move makes her dive underground and then swimming there random routes with one of her swords (not unlike shark fin in "Jaws" movies") sticked out. Its unblockable and instantly kills opponent if connects.

Their weapons have specific ornaments and eyes described on them, suggesting they are of similar kind as Asura's and Oboro's weapons.
