(Second Ascension)

(Third and final Ascension outfit. The armor is completely green and he doesn't wears a helmet)

(His weapon)

History: He was a Japanese warrior of the early 13th century, his name comes from Awa no Kuni's Asaina-gun, where he lived at one time. Though very likely an historical figure, Yoshihide appears in literature and in kabuki as a somewhat an superhuman legendary character. According to these, his mother was the renowed female warrior Tomoe Gozen, and he had superhuman strength which he used to accomplish a number of stunning feats.

Yoshihide's name is associated with some incredible feats. According to the Azuma Kagami, he and the then future shogun Minamoto no Yoriie, who were good friends, one day were together in Kotsubo. Yoriie said he had heard what a good swimmer Yoshihide was, and he challanged him to give a demostration of his prowess. Immediately, Yoshihide jumped into the sea and soon re-emerged with two or three sharks in his fists. Yoshihide is also mentioned in the Soga Monogatari as having competed for strength with Soga Goro Tokimune.

Finally and most famously, he is said to have opened the Asaina Pass by himself in one night, thus giving this extremely important pass his name.

He became a retainer of Minamoto no Yoriie and fought alongside his adoptive father, Wada Yoshimori, and Yoriie in a revolt against the Hojo in 1213. He raided and burned the Okura Bakufu, seat of Minamoto no Yoritomo's government. When he was defeated in battle, he fled to Awa no Kuni with 500 horsemen. From this moment, his whereabouts are unknown but, according to the Wada family records he fled to Awa no Kuni, and then to Korea.

Noble Phantasm~

Mutsuurakuchi~The Seven Entrances of Kamakura: Anti-Army Mystic Sword: B+: This Noble Phantasm does not consist on a single weapon, it comes from the fact that the sheer might of Yoshihide turns any single object into a deadly weapon. In other words, this Noble Phantasm is the crystallized feat where Yoshihide created the Asaina pass in a single night, sublimed into a deadly type of demonic swordsmanship which is capable of shaping the land.

4: "Why is my surname 'Asahina' and not either 'Wada' nor 'Minamoto'? Well... that's because I used to govern over the Asai County, so it then became my family name. It... isn't much of a good reason, isn't it?"
