Shigen

"Until I became 15 years old, I was raised by Yoda and didn’t know anything about the Zoans' suffering. Thinking that my parents were from the Gerxel priesthood, I left Il Island on nothing but a whim. But in Gerxel I witnessed the Zoans’ tragic reality with my own eyes and changed my mind. In every country, innocent people get captured and put to death only because they’re Zoans. I wanted to save such people and became a warrior for the Zoans."

- Shigen, in a conversation with Sierra

Shigen (シゲン Shigen) is a playable character from TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga. He is the adoptive son of Yoda, raised as a brother to Julia. His father was a dark swordsman of Zoa and his mother is Karla, making him the nephew of Sieg. He is the only character capable of wielding the ☆Dullahan.

Profile
Shigen is a member of Sealion Pirates and the right-hand man of Holmes. He plays the role of the advisor to Holmes and often makes sarcastic comments about the events happening around him. When he was 15 years old, he decided to ask Yoda about his birth parents and received a blunt response about their identities and how evil they are. Years before the game's events, Shigen saved Sierra from her execution and helped her leave the Gerxel Church.

If he is defeated at the Sealed Bridge in Map 24, he will be saved by Sierra, who wishes to repay him for saving her before. Both of them will join Holmes's army at the end of the chapter. After Katri leaves at the beginning of the second route split, Shigen becomes a mandatory character who will trigger a Game Over if defeated.

In the epilogue, he boards the Sealion to travel around the world alongside Holmes, Katri, Runan, and Enteh. Depending on events triggered during the story, Shigen can be accompanied by Julia, Sierra, or Krisheenu.
