VS Battles Wiki
Although it was in the name of justice, we have beaten and injured many people using violence. If there is a penalty for that I will accept it. But... is there someone in this world that can live without committing a single crime? I can not believe it! Even people with the purest hearts must kill animals and plants to live. They do it because they have no other choice. If you say that all humans commit crimes, then... is the simple fact of living is a crime? What do you think? Answer me!
~ Andromeda Shun

Summary

Andromeda Shun (アンドロメダ星座(アンドロメダ)の瞬, Andoromeda Seiza no Shun), also known as Shun, literally meaning 'twinkle, instant', is one of the Bronze Saints. He is arguably one of the strongest characters in the series, although his gentle disposition and kind nature tend to hold him back from using his full power, until he is forced to do so. Shun is also the younger brother of Phoenix Ikki, a fellow bronze saint. Shun is the Purest soul and Chosen One. Whether he is reincarnation of previous vessel in unknown, but Tenma in Next Dimension implied Shun is similar to Alone.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

  • Nebula Chain: The Andromeda Saint's signature technique which allows him to manipulate the chains of his Cloth however he pleases. At the most basic, the Nebula Chain is a straight-forward attack where the chains rapidly slice and wrap themselves around the enemy. This attack can be improved by using the Thunder Wave of the chain., which in Shun's words, "will cross time and space to prevent your escape, no matter how many thousands of light years you run."
  • Rolling Defense: A simple defensive technique that utilizes Shun's chains in one of two ways: he will either twirl the chains around himself to create a barrier or set them on the ground to mimic a circular web; this was later named the Circle Defense. In web mode, the chains erect a special field that will shock enemies or summon chains to slice them should they attempt to enter it.
  • Great Capture: A technique that twists the chains to paralyze, capture, or immobilize foes. Shun also uses other ways of capturing opponents with Boomerang Shoot, Spiral Duct, etc.
  • Nebula Stream: A defensive attack that links directly to Shun's Cosmo. It entangles the foe with streams of the Andromeda cosmos in an attempt to paralyze them. As Shun becomes more determined to use his true power, the stream will eventually transfigure into the Nebula Storm technique.
    • Nebula Storm: When Shun's Cloth and Chain are destroyed, (or if he expels them voluntarily) he gains full access to his Cosmos, allowing him to concentrate all of it into a single powerful burst of spiraling energy. Because of its extremely destructive nature, Shun will only use it as a last resort.
