Hero (Suikoden II): Difference between revisions

Line 34:

The hero was noted for his strength, but also his lack of belligerence. He fought solely to protect others, as the [[Bright Shield Rune]] he inherited symbolizes. Living up to the expectations of those who relied on his strength was a major motivation for him to continue fighting even through the despair of the [[Dunan Unification War]].

[[Shu]] saw in him the hope of the people of [[City-State of Jowston|Jowston]], not merely as the son of [[Genkaku]], but as his own person. Because of this, Shu would push the hero to become the leader of the [[New State Army]] despite his youth.

Because of this, Shu would push the hero to become the leader of the [[New State Army]] despite his youth. It was said his true strength was his uncanny ability to touch the hearts and earn the trust of his comrades. His kind-heartedness inspired others to help him in turn.

Even were he to abandon his duties and flee with [[Nanami]] from [[Tinto Principality]], it is likely that this too would be an attempt to fulfil her wish. In the end, his lack of hostility is what would allow both he and [[Jowy Atreides]] to survive their duel at [[Tenzan Pass]].
