Enja Kazuki

Enja Kazuki (炎邪火月) is the Rasetsu/Bust form of Kazuki in Samurai Shodown 64: Warriors Rage. He is actually considered to be a different character than 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 lacks the ability to control fire on distance from his body (unlike Kazuki), as well as any fires that he didn't create.
 * Fire Emperor Mode: Enja Kazuki's stance changes 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
His moveset is severely upgraded moveset of Kazuki's Rasetsu/Bust form from previous game. Enja.Kazuki lacks any long-range attacks or special moves, but can be very damaging in close combat. One of his moves was specifically designed as instant kill move of sorts (unblockable and doing gigantic damage, but slow). Aside from one move which animations were borrowed from previous game's Kazuki (Six Realms Raging Flame), Enja.Kazuki fights exclusively with punch attacks, the reason of this was to emphazise yin-yang differentiation of characters (fire assotiated with yang, which is assotiated with upper body half). His other notable aspects are Fire Emperor mode which gives him new fighting style/stance and super armor but removes ability to block; and his super which is most complex in series, having wide array of follow-ups and several different phases avialable.
