Netami Kihaku

Netami Kihaku is one of the major villains on Anime Clash Rewind. An entity born out of the jealousy and envy of the mage Shota Kihaku, Netami seeks complete domination of the new world. Unlike many of the major players on Anime Clash, Netami prefers to accomplish this through political means, using his shapeshifting and telekinetic powers to his advantage.

Powers
Telepath- Netami is a skilled telepath, capable of reading the minds of those around him easily. This makes him a very dangerous foe in battle, as he is capable of predicting every one of his opponent's moves before they make them! Using his high levels of telepathy he was able to defeat Kyou Nenshou in hand to hand combat with ease, and hold his own in a fight against Kataki Doragon as well. He is also able to use this to telepathically shield someone from mind control, or mentally assault an opponent's mind directly to render them unconscious as he did with Terra. He is even able to segment a target's mind as he did to Tifa, separating her pure and dark halves in her mind and sealing the latter away.

Telekinesis- Along with his skills as a telepath are Netami's formidable skill at telekineses. Although rarely displayed, Netami has demonstrated sufficient power to block most physical attacks and throw a human sized target with the power of his mind alone. During the Invasion of London he was able to decimate an entire street of zombies with raw mental strength. During the Third Invasion of London, Netami was also able to destroy a city block with a telekinetic throw.

Shapeshifting- Perhaps his greatest talent is Netami's power of shapeshifting. Using this power, Netami can assume any form he desires. He has made copious use of this ability to impersonate other major figures, or move through crowds undetected. Because of this power, nobody has ever seen Netami's true form-- not even Shota.

Weapon master- Netami is highly adept at using a wide variety of weapons with a high level of skill. During the Invasion of London, he used various firearms, a saber and combat knives with considerable skill.

Hand to hand-Netami has demonstrated a thorough talent at using hand to hand combat, effortlessly defeating Kyou Nenshou, and managing to best Kataki Doragon in hand to hand combat as well.

Storyline
Netami first appeared before the convergence of the worlds. He first emerged during the Heartless's final attack in Central City. Shota attempted to transform into a more combat-oriented entity, however, Netami took over instead. Quickly moving to the source of the problem, he encountered Tifa, who was on the verge of combining the worlds. Using his powers of telepathy, Netami was able to seal up Tifa's dark side within her mind, before the worlds suddenly merged in a massive wave of darkness.

His first act in the new world, was to recruit the services of the shinobi; Kataki Doragon. Upon learning that Kataki had been bound into the service of Dyre Meirella, Netami went about attempting to assassinate the vampire. Unfortunately, not all went according to plan, and Dyre was able to survive the trap set for her, forcing Netami to reveal himself to her. This would not be the first attempt Netami made on her life, nor the first time she would survive such attempts.

Not long after, Netami joined a number of other prominent figures at the Chapel on Hanging Neck Isle, after being summoned by The Necromancer. Netami was the last to arrive, showing up just after Homura, aggravating Dyre to no end, though slightly amusing the War God. During the course of the meeting, Netami successfully managed to incur the anger of the sorcerer Magus by using his skill with telekinesis to humiliate the sorcerer. Only a timely intervention from Dyre prevented the two from entering a full scale battle in the presence of so many of their foes. Ultimately, Netami left the meeting, determining none but the Necromancer and Homura to be of any threat to his goals.

Netami made his first serious move for world conquest shortly thereafter. Upon sending Kataki to assassinate the Prime Minister of london and framing Tokyo, Netami quickly established himself as a rising star in the political world, using his talent with telepathy to his advantage, quickly racing for the position. He orchestrated the Ginza Bombing in order to provide a further catalyst for a war between Tokyo and London, adding to the political turmoil, while using Kataki to pick off his political opposition, leaving only one left besides himself. He was finally able to win the election, by orchestrating a failed assassination attempt upon himself during one of his speeches. As the new leader of London, Netami put a swift end to the rising tensions between London and Tokyo, by using his telepathy to take control of the head of Tokyo, combining London and Tokyo into a joint nation, controlled by the heads of both cities, much stronger than before. Netami quickly took control of Tokyo, upon the death of it's leader, due to "natural causes" and by extention claimed control of Karakura town as well.

Although Kataki served Netami well, the shapeshifter attempted to find additional soldiers he could count on. As such, he held a tournament inviting warriors from all around, and implementing Kataki as an examiner to weed out those deemed to weak to serve Netami, which Kataki accomplished-- defeating Yusuke in the first round with little difficulty. Unfortunately, Kataki was eliminated in the second round, and only Dyre and Kitiara made it to the final round, which Kitiara forfeit. His tournament idea failed, Netami disbanded the organization, and disappeared without a trace. This strategy ultimately backfired as it brought the detective S onto Netami's trail, culminating in Netami becoming the detective's primary suspect for both the Ginza Bombing and the assassination of London's Prime Minister.

Things were going well for Netami until he became an indirect target in the Necromancer's battle with Dyre. Upon taking control of the vampire's ghouls, the Necromancer released them into London, where they immediately began to infect the quarantine. Left with little other option, Netami joined forces with Dyre in order to drive them out of the city, and grant Dyre control over her minions once more. He was successful in this endeavor, and took Dyre with him to Sunagakure wherein he swiftly won over the Kazekage, and managed to take the shinobi of the Sand village under his employ. During his stay in the Sand Village, he and Dyre were targeted by an assassin of Tifa.

Following the assassination attempt, Netami and Dyre retreated to her castle, where Komaki Da, arrived to inform them of the Necromancer's iminent attempt on Vesta's life. Dyre expressed the intent to face the Necromancer alone. In the ensuing debate with Komaki attempting to persuade Dyre not to go, and the vampire insisting, Netami eventually chose a side and knocked Dyre out, to allow Komaki time to gather sufficient forces to battle the Necromancer.

During the battle with the Necromancer, he used his telepathic powers to shield Vesta from the Necromancer's control, enabling her to fight her former master on even footing. He assisted her with periodic telepathic assaults on the Necromancer's mind and pulled Dyre out of harm's way when S used the power of the Death Note to crash a jet into the Necromancer. Following the Necromancer's death, he and Dyre formally broke off their alliance and went their separate ways.

Netami, however, was quick to move onto his next alliance, forming one with Nararia Crimzone. Forming a brief pact to ensure both of them furthered their goals, Netami set up an elaborate plot to enable the conquering Mazoku's takeover of Central City. Appearing during one of Vesta's performances, Netami befriended the Fuhrer, King Bradley. Netami was able to discuss a diplomatic meeting with the Fuhrer, and following that evening, Bradley made arrangements to travel to London.

During Bradley's stay in London, Netami was inconvenienced by The Second Invasion of London. However, his forces proved far better equipped to repel the Undead threat, in this occasion, armed with specialized weapon, and creative use of Pokemon, they were able to successfully repel the attack.

Following Nararia's victory at The Battle of Central City, Netami went to Arabasta to engage in a diplomatic meeting. Here, he encountered Tifa, whom he attempted to ally with. Vesta arrived herself, and quickly determined the nature of Netami's alliance. Ultimately, the three proposed an alliance to turn Nararia's impending attack on Arabasta into a trap to defeat the Mazoku and end her plans for world devastation. Netami admitted, that due to the bonds of his agreement, however, he was not permitted to directly assist in Nararia's destruction. Fortunately, his condition allowed him to take a back seat, and still allow the magical assistance that would be required to combat the conquerer of Central.

Netami ultimately retreated back into the recesses of the mind of Shota Kihaku, allowing the mage to take over for a time, but emerged when he discovered that Nararia had reneged on their agreement and had launched an attack on London. Enraged by this betrayal, Netami took over Shota's body again and went to engage Nararia in battle during the Third Invasion of London.
