Profile
Despite his fearsome appearence and brutal fighting style, Raoh seems to be quite caring towards Zappa, as shown when he attempted to comfort him in one of his endings.
Story
Very little is known about Raoh, but he seems to be the spirit of an ancient warrior,[1] who was a blind military commander from China.[2] It is unknown when he attached itself to Zappa, but ever since he did so, Raoh has protected him. One such occasion was following Zappa's escape from a house where he inadvertently draw the ire of a Robo-Ky (whom Zappa mistook for a lifelike doll) due to the other ghosts defending him and burning the house. Thinking the danger had passed, Zappa fell asleep, but the Robo-Ky caught up with him, intending to make him pay for ruining the house. Before he could wake Zappa up, Raoh appeared and presumably did away with the robot.[2]
Abilities
Only manifesting when Zappa's orbs have reached maximum, Raoh mainly attacks by punching and uppercutting due to the lack of a lower body.
Trivia
- Raoh is named the character of the same name from the manga and anime series Fist of the North Star.
- He has been described as 武将 (bushō?).[2] In Japanese history, it is mostly used for a outstanding warriors from the late Heian period to the Azuchi-Momoyama period and the early days of the Edo period.[3]
