Shōgo Kitsukawa (しょうご Kitsukawa Shōgo), was the Second Fist of Ragnarök before it was disbanded. He is currently one of Isshinsai Ogata's disciples in YOMI.
Appearance[]
Berserker is a tall, muscular young man. He is fair skinned with dark blonde hair spiked up and blue eyes. He is constantly seen in a white sleeveless shirt, blue jeans, white sneaker, and red jacket with its sleeves ripped off. During his days as the Second Fist of Ragnarök, he wore black gloves with golden mark insignias shaped like roman numerals for 2. He is often seen chewing bubble gum.
Personality[]
Berserker has a calm disposition despite all the damage being done to Ragnarök and almost never loses his head, despite his seemingly ill-named position. Berserker is almost always seen chewing bubble gum and usually doesn't speak, even when something noteworthy happens. Berserker is said to be the most fearsome fighter in all of Ragnarök, and Loki even believes that he could be a better First Fist than Odin (though Loki may have simply said it in order to plant a seed of betrayal in Berserker). However, Berserker shows no interest in becoming a leader for any gang, and is actually afraid of fighting Odin, believing that the latter is much stronger than he is. Berserker claims to fear boredom more than losing during his match against Hermit. When in his Berserker mode, he's much more sadistic and brutal, going as far as to assault Hermit with everything he has without holding back and laughing maniacally.
Since having become Ogata's disciple, Berserker's personality is virtually the same, except he seems to take more interest in things around him and has surprisingly developed a sense of moral fairness during his fights (despite his calm, battle-ready attitude and the aggressive way that he fights). The biggest example of this was in his fight with Kenichi. He stated he came to fight him to test how much stronger he had become since the last time and admitted his gladness in fighting him. He even waited for Kenichi to make his Seikuken during the beginning of their fight just so he can test out his own Seikuken.
In battle 500, it was shown that Berserker has been carrying a very small grudge against Niijima, ever since their encounter during the Ragnarok Saga, and even stated that he "still owed him one" in a very serious way, which freaked Niijima out. Also, he seems to have gotten over his fear of Odin as Berserker saved the former from falling debris before stating that he now viewed Odin as a worthy opponent that he personally wants to defeat.
Skill[]
- Innate Talent: Berserker is best known for his natural talent in any aspect of combat. At one point, he single-handedly defeats Loki and his band of New Ragnarok's with little effort. Even Odin had great confidence in Berserker's skill, firmly believing that he could dispatch both Kenichi and Hermit and. Later, his talent caught the eye of the of Isshinsai Ogata, a man obsessed with martial artists' development, who decided to make Berserker his personal disciple. His unrefined fighting style is used to his advantage in confusing his opponents. Fighting solely on instinct present observation, he has no set pattern of attacks, making it almost impossible for his opponents to anticipate his attacks. He is an immensely perceptive combatant, able to quickly see through his opponents' attack patterns and battle methods, which allows him to instantly come up with proper counter or various new and effective attack methods. He can even perfectly copy the basics of any technique he sees. On his own, he was even able to develop and master Seikūken well enough to overwhelm a natural Sei-type and skilled user of it like Kenichi. His talents even allowed him to defend against the entire Yomi Armed Division all on his own while commenting minorly on the struggle.
- Great Physical Prowess: While never trained formally or even routinely, Berserker's constant fighting has conditioned him to his peak of physical prowess. Belying his large and well-defined built, he possesses remarkable agility, flexibility, and dexterity that can match, if not overwhelm most opponents. Combined with his talent, his fighting prowess naturally strengthens and develops with each fight and has allowed him to defeat many expert fighters, so much that he easily grows bored against most opponents.
- Enhanced Instincts: While his untrained fighting abilities leaves him unpolished to be full of wasted movements and openings, Berserker easily makes up for it with his unorthodox style. When faced against opponents that are able to draw him out, using sharp instincts and immense reflexes, he can quickly change his attack patterns to leave his opponent guessing, forcing them to rely solely on reflexes. Against equally fast opponents, Berserker can easily perceive the incoming danger and rhythm of his opponent's attacks, letting him calmly dodge most attacks with minimal effort. Even in areas of probability being against him, Berserker is still able to instinctually turn things to his advantage. When he played poker against Loki (a pro at cheating) he managed to get a Royal Straight Flush against Loki's 4-of-a-kind.
- Enhanced Strength: Befitting his well-muscled frame, Berserker is shown to have a high level of strength. During his fight with Takeda and Ukita, he was able to easily overpower the larger Ukita and effortlessly catch Takeda's powerful punches without moving off of Ukita. His teeth and jaw strength are also immensely strong, able to chew through a shuriken. After his training under Ogata, Berserker's strength has increased greatly, being able to cause a shockwave when striking Kenichi with just his elbows and broke Kenichi's Seikūken with just strength alone, being the second person to break it after Tirawit Kokin.
- Enhanced Speed: Despite his large size, Berserker has equally impressive speed. Able to quickly change his attack patterns or direction of attack, he is able to leave his opponents unsure of his next attack, making it easier for Berserker to land a strike. After his training from Ogata, Berserker's speed has increased to the point of being able to appear in front of Kenichi with just a step in. Kenichi noted it would have been bad if Berserker had attacked at that moment.
- Berserker Mode: Berserker's most revered ability, an adrenaline rush that lets Berserker access his full Dou Ki to attack at a much stronger, faster, wilder and unpredictable pace, while at the same time losing the ability to feel pain. Odin stated that, while in this mode, Berserker has no pattern or thinking behind his attacks and that he was just relying on instincts and power.
- Hybrid Martial Artist: Berserker fights based on instincts and reflexes, utilizing whatever movement had suited him most against his opponents. After Tanimoto defeated him, he underwent training in the ancient martial arts' exercises, this refined his instinctive fighting style without learning actual forms or techniques pushing well passed his previous limits and realizing his true potential. According to Lugh, this was done intentionally by Ogata, who realized that formless styles suited him most, and noted that it would result in creating his own martial art. Miu, noted this process is much like how Hayato developed his Fūrinji Style.
