Biography[]
Souun is the leader of a group of beach battlers. She is a blue battler, but formerly used green.
When she heard that Toshiie was defeated, she saw this as an opportunity, and decided to head to Musashi. When there, she met Kanetsugu, whom she realized also came to face Yukimura.
Sasuke declared that anyone who wanted to face Yukimura would have to beat him first. Souun was annoyed, but agreed to battle him. She won easily. Although they were kicked out of the arena by Toshiie's gang afterwards, she didn't mind, because a stadium was needless when both battlers were S-Class. Afterwards, she had a battle with Yukimura on the streets. This time, Yukimura won thanks to his key spirit, although it was very close. Souun accepted defeat, but intended to win the next time.
Souun appeared at Toshiie's stadium a while later, hoping to have her rematch with Yukimura. However, Kanetsugu was there as well, and Toshiie had already laid claim on Yukimura before the both of them. Therefore, they decided on a tournament. Souun would face Kanetsugu, and the winner of their match would face the winner of Yukimura and Toshiie's match. Souun hoped that Yukimura would win, which he did.
Before Souun's match with Kanetsugu, it was revealed that Souun and Kanetsugu were once on the same team. Souun admits that she once admired Kanetsugu and his strategy, but wanted to surpass him, thus she left and found her own battle style, which was blue deck destruction. This had the power to ruin any opponent's strategy, because their cards would be discarded before they could use them. Souun lost the battle, which Kanetsugu claimed was because she was too fixated on a single victory, and not a larger dream. She was extremely angry, claiming not to understand Kanetsugu at all. Soon after her defeat by Kanetsugu, Souun also lost a match against Toukichirou Mashira, losing her stadium as a result. She was depressed over her constant losses, but her followers continued supporting her.
Later, Yukimura and Toshi appeared before her, requesting that she help them free Musashi, as Kanetsugu and others were causing problems, such as forcing everyone to only use a specific deck. Souun didn't believe Kanetsugu would do this, and it was confirmed by Hanzou that he was innocent. In truth, it was the work of Toukichirou and Ranmaru, and the wire-puller behind them. Souun seemed willing to help, but first wanted a re-match with Yukimura. Losing this match as well was only further damaging to her, so she decided to stay back and think.
After this event, Ichi Tenma met with Souun. She helped Souun remember her love for the sea, and also gave her a Soul Burst card. This led Souun to changing her mind and joining with Yukimura and Toshi. She faced Toukichirou, and defeated him this time.
When the Warring States Championship was announced, Souun met with Kanetsugu and Toshi to decide who could be on Yukimura's team. Souun was not given the chance to battle, as after Toshi lost to Kanetsugu, he gave up his spot. Thus, Souun became a member of the team, and began training with Yukimura and Kanetsugu.
In the preliminary tournament's first round, Souun defeated one of the Ushio brothers.
At the start of the finals, Dairokuten Maou appeared, requesting that he would take complete control over the IBSA if he wins the tournament. Ichi Tenma agreed, and Yukimaru and his allies determined to defeat him and end his ambitions.
During the first round of the finals, her team was matched up against the Shikoku representative team and she didn't need to battle in the first round, because the other two both won.
After the first round ended, it was announced that all 15 battlers who were able to advance to the second round would be split up from their groups and would have to fight by themselves. All battlers were given a day to relax and plan for future battles.
During the quarterfinals, she easily won agaisnt Kagekatsu Fujishiro in the second round.
Next, in the quarterfinals round. She has to face Dairokuten Maou whom she puts up a good fight. During the battle, Dairokuten Maou mocked Souun for being so weak and this angering her but is unable to last and is crushed badly, becoming injured and she needs to go to the hospital. Dairoukten Maou makes Yukimaru and his friend furious and decided to stop his plan.
She also supporting Yukimaru in the final battle for Yukimaru battling Nobunaga.
In the epilogue, she has her training with her gang in order to surpass Yukimaru.
