Hidden Depths: Like Jhun, he's a fan of Athena's music.Giant Hands of Doom: His powers manifest as a pair of big floating ethereal hands, one red and one blue.Elemental Powers: His demonic powers possess fire and water.Deadly Lunge: His Scarlet Phantom special is him dashing forward with a punch with his red fist.Their playstyles are also very different - Ash being a more rushdown-oriented zoner that is reserved for specialist players (at least in XIII where he had some of the most difficult Trials even by that game's standards) while Shun'ei is a jack of all trades who is very reliable at any level of play and has combos that are very simple to perform.Shun'ei's powers, on the other hand, are both red and blue, the other additive colors. Interestingly enough, while Ash was a fire user like the previous protagonists, his fire was green (one of the three additive colors).Shun'ei doesn't have this issue since he has no charge moves. Adding to the above, Ash was a charge character, automatically making him more difficult to play properly when factoring in the charge time for his specials.Shun'ei, on the other hand, is a more conventional Shotoclone who is far and away the most accessible of the four protagonists in XV. Ash was an overall very difficult character to utilize at his fullest potential and, for all intents and purposes, was essentially KOF's equivalent of Remy.Whereas Ash was a massive Jerkass ( XIII notwithstanding) and a Troll to everyone he's ever met, Shun'ei is much more laid back and pleasant in comparison, with a few wisecracks to spare every now and then.But specifically, he mostly contrasts Ash Contrasting Sequel Main Character: Unlike most protagonists in the previous games who have pyrokinetic abilities, Shun'ei has both fire and water manipulation and his powers let him manifest a pair of ethereal hands floating by his side, the red hand represents his pyrokinetic powers, while the blue hand represents his hydrokinetic powers.Coat Cape: Wears a black jacket over his shoulders when fighting (that somehow doesn't fall off).Chuunibyou: Mostly in looks (yes, his particular fashion sense is Truth in Television in his native China), not so much in personality.Bishōnen: Par for the course for KOF protagonists.Bad Powers, Good People: He commands powers of a demonic nature, it's rumored to be a similar one with those of Verse's.Nowadays he decides to take on the challenge of the King of Fighters tournament along with his best friend Meitenkun.

In his childhood, his parents shunned him because of his strange powers he then got taken under Tung Fu Rue's wing.
