~ Bushido to Robin |
Bushido is one of the many honorary Titans from the 2003 show Teen Titans and an ally in the comics. He is a skilled swordsman and skilled at martial arts.
Teen Titans[]
When the Brotherhood of Evil threatened every hero around the world, the original Teen Titans split up to alert as many heroes as they could.
In Japan, Robin arrived to find the hero known as Bushido under attack by a band of ninjas. The two heroes immediately began working together and defeated the ninjas. After the fight, Robin hands the Japanese hero a communicator and considers him an honorary Titan.
The Brotherhood of Evil later begins their purge of heroes. Bushido was, of course, one of the heroes attacked. Unfortunately, he was one of the unlucky ones and was easily defeated. Bushido was taken back to the Brotherhood's base in Paris, France where he was cryogenically frozen.
With many heroes beaten, Beast Boy lead a rogue team of honorary Titans to reclaim their friends. During the heroes' siege, Bushido was freed from his frozen state and helped beat the rest of the villains. Bushido then returned with the rest of the heroes to Jump City where he temporarily stayed. He is last seen at the end of the episode helping the Titans recapture Dr. Light.
Appearance[]
Bushido is a well-bulit Japanese male. His uniform consists of a sleeveless white shirt with pointed shoulder blades and long, black pants. He has a big collar similar to Katarou's which is blue on the inside, but the front of his collar is a black stripe which goes down to his belt. His belt is blue and carries his sword and scabbard, and he also wears long, black wristbands. Bushido wears simple, black sandals and his short, black, neatly trimmed hair is tied in a small ponytail. He looks like Samurai Jack without a white robe.
Personality[]
Bushido is a very respectful individual. After Robin handed him the communicator, he bowed, and in the issue Graduation, he used Japanese honorifics (domo and san). However, when fighting, he shows an aggressive side.
Abilities[]
Bushido has no known superpowers, as he is fully human, but is a master of the sword. His sword is made of an unknown but strong steel alloy which was capable of slicing through Atlas's leg. Also, Bushido uses this sword with amazing skill; he was able to defeat four ninjas at once. He also possesses extraordinary reflexes, and is also trained in unarmed martial arts styles and he is a very accomplished acrobat. He has shown to have extraordinary speed, agility, and strength for a human. Bushido is strong enough to send a grown man flying with just a punch. Bushido also seems to be experienced in hand-to-hand combat, proven in "Calling All Titans!" and "Titans Together".
