Power Progression

Background and History

Tsukimi Shisui was a Ghoul who became a Kakuja by hunting and cannibalizing other Ghouls. His childhood included abuse, and he later lived for years while concealing himself. Before leaving Tokyo in his previous life, he massacred Ghouls at the Ghoul Restaurant; Jackal arranged passage toward the Middle East 2 38 211 395.

After transmigrating to Ruolan Star, Shisui awoke in the body of Lou Shisui, a fallen Lou Family descendant who had taken poison. He inherited the body’s memories, and Psychic Energy accelerated its transformation into a Kakuja 2 9.
