Ryūra

Ryura is a character that only appears in the movie Inuyasha the Movie 4- Fire on the Mystic Island.

Ryura is the leader of the Four War Gods (a group who had taken over Horai Island), and has a long standing feud with InuYasha (character). The two had fought previously and although they were seemingly equal in strength, Ryura was able to slash Inuyasha across his back, branding the half demon with the glowing red mark of the Four War Gods. This was the time when Inuyasha was still with Kikyo, with the War Gods wanting to obtain her blood.

Sometime later, Ryura met Inuyasha again (as depicted in the movie) and the two engaged in many ferocious battles.

Personality

Like most villians, Ryura is portrayed as cruel, cunning and sadistic, having surpreme confidence in his own powers and underestimating his opponents. He appeared to have a bit of respect for the rest of the war gods, however.

Abilities :

It can be assumed that Ryura was very powerful, since he was the leader of the Four War Gods and had managed to incapacitate Inuyasha a couple of times (though Inuyasha proved to be stronger in the end) He is armed with two swords known as the Huzinga (Wind Blade) and Raijinga (Thunder Blade) He wields these two swords very proficiently and nimbly, and is able to fight on par with Inuyasha and his Tetsusaiga. He also has various techniques at his disposal:

Earth Dragon Gale : Utilising his Wind Blade, Ryura summons a spinning dome of compressed air around himself, as a form of defense. This technique was strong enough to blow away Inuyasha's Wind Scar.

Unnamed Wind Technique : Ryura uses his Wind Blade to unleash a powerful tornado-like attack, strong enough to easily blow almost anyone away.

Dragon Lightning : Using his Thunder Blade, Ryura summons a localised thunderstorm. After enough storm clouds have gathered, he uses the blade to send down a single bolt of lightning from the heavens in order to strike his enemy. This attack was powerful enough to stun and knock out Inuyasha.

Aligned under the storm god of the eastern sea, the dragon Seiryu. Represents the element of wind.
