 "One of the Sacred King's Armory Kenbumajin, being drawn to those who show a great sparks of courage in their heart. With arrows that never miss like a bolt of lightning, he is a noble and levelheaded fighter. Though, he isn't immune to being dramatic sometimes because of his skills." |
Arjuna (アルジュナ), is a Lightning Attribute Sacred King's Armoy Kenbumajin first appearing in Beyond Light and Shadow. He is the third eldest of the five brothers that make up a majority of the Sacred King's Armory Kenbumajin.
He is the true form of Shirogane Inazuma (稲妻 白銀), a university student studying meteorlogy.
His Youseiken is called the Silver Lightning Fire-starter Bow, sometimes refred to as Gandiva.
Personality and Abilities
From what can be gleamed, he can keep a cool head most of the time, but can sometimes get a little competitive and enjoys showing off every now and again. However, there is one he tends to freeze up and refuse to fight.
His abilities include near flawless archery skills, able to shoot targets from a long distance or in awkward positions no problem. This is at the cost of close range combat being much, much worse by comparison, and fairly average defenses overall.

Relationships
Karna
His eldest brother, and their relationship is rocky to say the least. Having a fairly intense rivarly, though he's much, much less egar to rub past events and insults. In fact, a lot of their relationship is something he does not like to talk about very often.
Origin
Arjuna (अर्जुन) is one of the central characters in the Hindu epic "The Mahabharata". Third eldest of the Pandava Brothers, his father is the storm god king Indra and mortal woman Kunti. He was considered the greatest archer of his time, and was quite close with the god Krishna. His most famous story is the Bhadavad Gita, where Krishna grants him supreme knowledge of the universe to overcome moral dilenmas as the Kurukshetra War.
Trivia
 Artwork of Arjuna done to celebrate the start of Pride Month, confirming his nonbinary gender to a wider audience. |
- While he uses primarily he/him pronouns, he is nonbinary! (Again, nobody else can edit this database, only I can do that, so it's canon! Deal with it!)
- Out of all the Sacred King's Armory Kenbumajin, he was by far the absolute hardest to design. This was mostly due to figuring out a balance of colors and designs, as well as a hairstyle that stood out.
- One of these woes being that Pako is a very competent character designer and it's insanely difficult to make a take on Arjuna that's very pretty within the standards of anime, keeping Indian aspects, but isn't just copy and pasting Pako's notes.
- There was a focus to have his design have his acsessories and the like come in 3s, to signify he's the third of the Pandava brothers.
