Not to be confused with a Toukiden character.

Shiki (志貴) is an original character in Warriors All-Stars.

Role in Games

Warriors All-Stars

He is Tamaki's older brother and the eldest child of the former king. Shiki possesses the Yasakani Magatama as proof of his royal lineage.

For unknown reasons, he obstructs Tamaki and Setsuna's claims for the throne.

Toukiden

After the events of Warriors All-Stars, Shiki and his relatives are devoured by a demon and warp to Nakatsu Kuni near Shinonome Village. Their royal treasures protect their souls from being devoured by the demons of Ōka's world. Surrounded by demons, Shiki weakens many of them until Tamaki guides the protagonist's party to his rescue.

Before the protagonist's party reaches him, Tamaki is captured by a demon. The party pursues it to the tenth level and find Shiki fighting the demons alone. Setsuna inquires if Shiki has seen his sister which alarms him to her disappearance. Shiki immediately joins the search for Tamaki. Once his sister is saved, Shiki collects the royal treasures and recites the incantation to send the trio back to their home world.

Character Information

Development

Furusawa remarked that the original characters in Warriors All-Stars were originally designed to be human beings, but the team felt that their visuals "lost entirely" to characters from other IPs. They then tried to make the original characters appear to be "almighty", but this was declined for going too overboard just for the sake of distinguishing them. Their current beastly appearances were originally suggested by one of the game's designers. It was accepted since anthropomorphism wasn't present in the other Warriors IPs that they had picked. Furusawa wanted the original characters to be in the roster so they could help provide different perspectives in a "long and tight" character driven narrative.

Okitsu carefully played Shiki to be a "ruthless man" who has his own set of beliefs. He likes his character's ears.

Personality

He bears the countenance and mannerisms befitting a prince, yet Shiki hardly displays emotions. He always acts in a collected manner and shows no mercy to anyone, even to his own family.

Character Symbolism

The Yasakani Magatama is one of the Three Imperial Regalia of Japan.
