Shogun

Shogun is the sixth demon boss in Shadow Fight 2, first appearing in Act VI: Iron Reign. He is a military warlord and the ruler of Ivory City, a town near the Gates of Shadows. He seized power from the former ruler of the city, known as the Prince, after he assassinated the said Prince.

Appearance
Shogun appears as a traditional Japanese Samurai, and is armed with a daisho - katana and a wakizashi which he wears on his hip. He is covered in black armor, and dons a Kabuto which is equipped with a Mempo that covers his whole face, excluding his white, featureless eyes.

Sensei's Story
Shogun is the servant of the Prince, a man of royal birth. He is the warlord of Prince's army. After he met Widow and was manipulated by her, he sets a scheme to betray the Prince, so he could claim his throne and become Widow's liege. He hired Butcher to kidnap Prince and ordered Hermit to train his soldier. However, Shogun did not see that the Prince made a bargain with Butcher, causing the latter to let him go. He is also not aware if the Prince is saved by Sensei later. Shogun plans to become a great warlord by using the magical Sphere that Widow has promised him.

After Widow obtained the Sphere, Prince comes to her place and seizes the Sphere. Shogun attempts to stop him, but he fails. Prince, who has lost his mind after getting the Sphere, takes Shogun to be executed and controls his mind with the Sphere. When Sensei arrives there, Prince makes Shogun fight Sensei. But, Sensei is able to defeat Shogun.

Act VI: Iron Reign
Shadow and his team head on to obtain the final seal which will lock the Gates of Shadow. Making their way to Ivory City, they learn that Shogun has taken over the city and has made it the seat of his vast empire. The city though, appears to be burning in flames. Sensei narrates that once the land surrounding the city was fertile. A wasteland is all that remains in its place now due to the effect of the Gates of Shadows.

Shadow begins his fight against Shogun's bodyguards and when each one is defeated, they mistake Shadow for their missing Prince and move on to higher authority for help. Sly encourages Shadow to play along with this mistaken identity.

Shogun first makes an appearance in conversation with General. After Shadow defeats Colonel, Shogun orders General to use whatever resources necessary to find and execute the rebel, who calls himself the Prince, and his associates. General responds by telling him that he will round up the best mercenary unit around and have them hunt down Shadow and the others.

Shadow then faces five mercenaries in a row in a survival style fight lasting five rounds. After their defeat, he fights General and then finally reaches Shogun. Shogun fights Shadow, still believing that he is the lost prince. After his defeat, Shogun is left in disbelief that he was bested in combat. Before Shadow moves on, Shogun surrenders his Jade Seal, claiming that even though he lost, the people will not follow a petty 'prince'.

Gates Of Shadows
Shogun teams up with the previous demons to halt Shadow's plans to close the Gates of Shadow. He battles Shadow last in line (sixth).

Interlude
Shadow returns in Interlude to fight Shogun for a third time to break the seal. Shogun, like the previous demons, is not pleased that Shadow wants to reopen the Gates. He declares that this realm and empire is his and therefore if Shadow reopens the gates, Titan will be released and Shogun will lose power and influence. Shogun tries to stop Shadow in his quest and the fight ensues.

Personality
Shogun is extremely aggressive and farts a lot hates failures. He refuses to tolerate any shortcomings or failure when it comes to the matters of his empire. He is a warlord who rules a vast empire, and has claims to have conquer thousands and entire factions. He has an extreme hatred of Shadow, whom he believes to be the Prince responsible for causing chaos in his empire. He thinks of himself as the ruler of the realm until Titan is set loose.

Shogun takes pride in his strength, and is devastated when he is beaten in combat. He values his empire very highly, falling apart when he believes it will be taken away from him. Shogun is fearsome, and his bodyguards fear him and his capabilities, proving that he is actually very strong. Shogun is shown to be quite arrogant, as he does not deign to deal with the enemy until he has no choice. Even when Shadow proves to be a highly dangerous threat to his empire, he prefer to assigns General to do the dirty work for him.

It is shown how much the empire means to Shogun when Shogun threatens to fight Shadow just to keep his empire under his command. As re-opening the Gate of Shadows would release Titan and cause Shogun to be evicted from his seat of high power, he fights Shadow in an attempt to stop him from opening the Gates so he can remain in his powerful position.

Perks and Enchantments
Shogun can call his bodyguards which will appear from either side of the screen, do a single strike to attack Shadow, and then disappear. These summoned bodyguards cannot be attacked. Their attacks cannot be blocked as well. However, they can be dodged. Shogun uses this perk after being defeated once. The bodyguard is summoned depending upon Shogun and Shadow's position on the battlefield:
 * Summoning

Corporal:  Corporal, along with General, has the strongest attack than other summoned bodyguards. Shogun will jump backwards when calling Corporal. Upon summoning, Corporal will dash forward, while thrusting his Yari forward. Shogun may call him when Shadow is close to him.

Captain:  Captain's attack is stronger than Colonel's attack, but weaker compared to Corporal's and General's attack. His attack also has the longest range than other bodyguards' attack. Shogun will roll backwards when calling him. Upon summoned, Captain will jump forwards. He then steps forward, bends down, and swings his Nodachi. Shogun will summon him if Shadow is too far from him.

Major:   Major is never summoned by Shogun.

Colonel:  Colonel's attack is the weakest than other bodyguards' attack. Shogun will roll backwards when calling him. Upon summoning, Colonel will jump forwards while thrusting his Bisento forward. Shogun may call him when Shadow is close to him.

General:  General, along with Corporal, has the strongest attack than other bodyguards. Shogun will stand still when calling him. Upon summoning, General will come from behind Shadow, roll towards Shadow, pivot on one foot, and swing his Glaive. Shogun will summon him if he is cornered.

Shogun's armor and Helm are enchanted with Damage Absorption, giving a chance to absorb all damage dealt to Shogun's body/head by a single strike.
