You've tasted nothing so far, but I can sense your fear." This alludes to the fact that Shiki may think he is at the same level as Nicole. We later see him confront Akira and Keisuke as they try to get to the church at the start of the "civil war", quoting Nicole's words "Those who cannot win keep challenging me, despite the fact that they will be defeated. However, the Line hadn't killed him like Nicole and the observers said it would, as he gets up a few moments later, covered in blood, which is apparently Nicole's. Nicole is seen to leave apathetically, leaving the four watchers to comment on Shiki's apparent 'death'. Shiki cuts Nicole open with his own mouth, and he takes some of his blood, causing himself to undergo what seems to be massive pain or an epileptic fit, as the Line affects his body. However, Nicole seems to mock Shiki, then he lures Shiki into drinking his blood, which is 100% pure Line. Arbitro, Kau, Gunji and Kiriwar are seen to be watching this battle.

Near the end of the series - episode 11 - he is seen battling against Nicole Premier, and is seen to be almost humiliated in his inability to hit him. It is unclear how they - Shiki, Arbitro, Kau, Gunji and Kiriwar -escaped. Akira and Rin then escape, leaving him and four others behind to fend for themselves. Bombs are dropped on the 'Palace', and Shiki is seen in what seems like a state of shock. However, just as he is about to kill Rin, Akira appears, saving Rin from his death. Shiki mocks Rin as they fight, causing the other to fall into desperation as he tries to kill him. Rin lands near a broken edge of the motorway, and he falls down, with Shiki disappearing.Īfter this, he is revealed as the Il Re when Rin presents a 'full house' of tags to Arbitro, who then accepts the challenge on Shiki's behalf. They clash for a short period of time, and it is then shown that Rin and he are related, but having different mothers. Shiki is next seen when Rin, alone on a motorway, yells his name. Upon an exchange of a few words and a short clash or swords, Shiki takes the suitcase and walks off into the night letting Akira live yet again. Shiki comments on his disgust for Arbitro's "pet", Kau, and his hobby for torturing young men, then leaves.Ī few episodes later Shiki again meets up with Akira and what seems like another battle - though it was actually a threat of a battle - ensues over a suitcase (which the viewer can suspect is filled with "Line") Akira was standing near after Nicole Premier asks him to give to Shiki. Then we see Shiki placing a suitcase filled with a new type of Line in front of Arbitro, head of Vischio, who talks about business matters between the two of them. Shiki then decides to leave the battered Akira for the time being.

Instead, Akira finds his chance to free himself by kicking Shiki in the stomach, although Akira collapses to the floor right after. In what could possibly be a slight interest in his victim, Skiki states in a fairly mocking voice that he will let Akira go if he simply begs for his life relating to the previous time he beat Akira where he refused to beg for his life. Shiki, clearly being the stronger of the two, easily overwhelms Akira and sends him flying through a glass window of an abandoned building, where he grabbes the nearly unconscious Akira and begins suffocating him against a wall. When Akira loses sight of Rin, he encounters Skiki in a dark alleyway and a battle ensues. This causes Rin to immediately give chase, with Akira following close behind, concerned for his friend. Later he is encountered again while Akira and his group were resting in a neutral zone, appearing just down the street having slain several people, causing an uproar for it being so close to the nuetral zone. He holds his katana to Akira's throat, commenting on his arrogant eyes, then walks away. After the Igra participants were slain, Shiki points his katana to Akira but does not kill him, amused by the fact the Akira doesn't beg for his life. He is then seen at the very end of that episode slaying a group of Igra participants who were going to kill Akira. Shiki appears in the first episode of the Togainu no Chi anime. Shiki formed the Igura in order to battle against Line-compatibles, so he could kill Nano and quell his memories of the first time they met.
The first Il Re who has never been defeated. He is a violent and brute man shrouded in mystery. Though he kills Igura participants frequently, he neither carries nor collects tags, and thus does not appear to be an Igura participant. Because he often appears in front of Igura participants and slays them immediately and with no warning, he is extremely feared. Shiki (シキ) is one of the main characters of Togainu no Chi. He is the strongest man in Igura.
