Enja Kazuki

Enja Kazuki (炎邪火月) is the Rasetsu/Bust form of Kazuki in Samurai Shodown 64: Warriors Rage. He is considered to be a different character from Enja. He is voiced by Atsushi Yamanishi.

Story
Due to his overriding desire for power, this version of Kazuki became dominated by the power in his sword. The spirit, named Enja, then continues to rampage the countryside. Although the spirit apparently devoured his soul, Kazuki breaks free of his control in his ending. He praises Kazuki's strength and reminds the man of the precious things he needs to protect. Kazuki's ending also suggests that Enja Kazuki did most of the fighting for Kazuki in the game.

Personality
Kazuki becomes a raging beast who is conquered by Enja's spirit. Unlike Enja's later counterpart, he can spiritually speak to Kazuki in words that he understands.

Powers

 * Pyrokinesis: Enja Kazuki can control fire. He can create a bright fire from thin air, enhance his attacks with fire, causing minor lava eruptions from ground and put his own body on fire. He is not immune to other types of fire. He cannot control fire separated from his body or any that he didn't create.
 * Fire Emperor Mode: Enja Kazuki engulfs himself in flames, and changes his stance to adopt the Pigua stance. He sacrifices the ability to block for unlimited super armor and a new fighting style, allowing for variety of combos and powerful attacks. He can shift between this and normal style of gameplay anytime.

Fighting Style
He uses a modified moveset of Kazuki's Rasetsu/Bust form from the previous game. Enja Kazuki lacks long-range attacks and special moves but compensates for this weakness in close range combat. Sacrificing speed, he can execute a single unblockable move which can instantly kill his opponent. His super, being one of the more intricate ones in series, has several different phases and a wide array of follow-ups for the player to utilize.

His fighting style was made to emphasize the yang principles via his fire and punches opposite of Suija Sogetsu.
