Background / History
Zhao Yun is summoned by Su Jiu using a Random Character Card and immediately recognizes Su Jiu as his lord. After learning of Earth’s position among China, the Angels, Lieyang, the Taotie, and the Demons, he maps the competing forces and urges Utopia to establish its own position before pursuing alliances. Su Jiu entrusts him with the group’s deployments and arrangements. 10 11
Initially, Zhao Yun rigidly maintains a master-subordinate distance from the crew, even insisting that a distinction must exist between superior and subordinate. Su Jiu instead wants a comrade who can build Utopia alongside everyone else; Zhao Yun gradually becomes more relaxed around the group. 11 12 14
He later discovers Zhao Xin’s Zhao-family connection and personally takes responsibility for training him. Zhao Yun also saves the mute artist Ouyang Nasa from wolves in the mountains, ensures her safe return to Tianhe City, and develops a relationship with her. By the time Su Jiu discusses Zhao Yun’s martial path with him, Ouyang Nasa is identified as his wife. 22 37 38 40 194
Appearance
Zhao Yun is first manifested in imposing armor with a long spear on his back and a sword at his waist. He alternates between battle gear and modern clothing when off duty. 10 15 17
- Majestic armor at his summoning, carrying both spear and sword. 10
- Silver-white dragon armor, white cloak, and silver dragon helmet during the Soton mission. 15
- White suit while walking through Juxia City at night. 17
- White robes during later operations. 112 338
- Uses Void Armor during the defense against Void Creatures. 338
Personality
Zhao Yun is analytical, decisive, and deeply loyal to Su Jiu’s goal of building Utopia. He rapidly assesses political and military threats, assigns roles according to each teammate’s strengths, and can identify enemy strategy during active combat. 10 11 50 53
His loyalty does not prevent him from speaking frankly. He challenges enemies with taunts, debates ideals and freedom with Liang Bing, and pushes Zhao Xin through harsh training while adapting his instruction to Zhao Xin’s different energy system. 16 17 22
Despite his formal manner and battlefield severity, Zhao Yun is considerate toward civilians and companions. He protects evacuees, helps Ouyang Nasa after rescuing her, and worries about the safety of Ouyang Nasa and Bronya before returning to train the Trap Camp Army. 15 37 239
Abilities & Skills
Spear Mastery
Zhao Yun’s passive martial specialty is mastery of spear techniques. His fighting style combines rapid movement, precise thrusts, sweeping strikes, dragon-and-phoenix manifestations, and battlefield positioning. 10 16
- Swimming Dragon Eight Steps — transforms his movement into that of a swimming dragon; used in conjunction with the Moon Wheel against North. 10 16
- Thunder Dragon — a forward dragon-like charge that can strike enemies behind the initial target. 10 16
- Heavenly Dragon Strike — an area attack that transforms into a dragon. 10
- Dragon Soaring Phoenix Dancing — listed as his special skill. 10
- Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix — generates a phoenix manifestation surrounded by bird phantoms; it shattered North’s mist-forged skull defense, though it consumed substantial energy. 16
- Dragon Tail Swing — redirects his spear through a semicircular strike, cutting down enemies positioned behind his opponent. 16
- Dragon Breaks the Sky — coats his spear in Armament Haki and produces a black dragon-phoenix manifestation that grows more solid as he kills enemies. 151
Martial Instruction
Zhao Yun is capable of breaking down spear combat into practical movement and weapon-handling instruction. He recognizes that his own energy-circulation method would harm Zhao Xin and requests technical simulation of the moves instead. 22
- Five-Shot Barrage — a rapid sequence that shifts from a thrust into a weapon-deflecting upward pick and follow-up sweep. 22
- Tornado Strike — a sweeping strike used to disarm and launch an opponent. 22
- Gale Thrust — produces numerous spear shadows against an airborne target. 22
- Dragon Severance — a descending finishing blow whose final form can be adapted into either a thrust or a slam. 22
- His techniques’ energy routes cannot be directly transferred to Zhao Xin due to their incompatible systems. 22
Moon Wheel Coordination
Zhao Yun can combine his martial arts with Su Jiu’s Moon Wheel, an arrangement known to him from the time of his summoning. He states that this combination can double their power. 10
- Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl — pairs his dragon manifestations with the Moon Wheel’s crescent form to break North’s defenses. 16
- Uses the Moon Wheel’s arrival to cut through Taotie formations while infiltrating their flagship’s Star Net. 151
- The Moon Wheel’s energy cost is too great for ordinary team members to sustain, so Su Jiu grants its energy-transmission authority to Kesha during the Taotie flagship operation. 151
Dragon Courage and Weapon Spirits
Zhao Yun nurtures the Dragon Spirit within his Dragon Courage Bright Silver Spear with his own blood. Its Dragon and Phoenix Weapon Spirits eventually become the second documented Latitude Weapon after the Moon Wheel. 233 338
- The Sky Dragon sheds its scales, grows wings, and destroys a Taotie flagship with dragon breath. 233
- Dragon Courage’s Dragon and Phoenix manifest independently and choose Nirvana to support Zhao Yun’s advance. 338
- Zhao Yun attempts to stop their sacrifice, valuing the Weapon Spirits he personally raised over a forced advancement. 338
