Cale/Anubisu Info

Cale/Anubsiu's face with his virtue glowing on his head.
Yami Mashou written in kanji.Name:

  • Yoroiden Samurai Troopers (YST): Anubis or technically Anubisu (悪奴弥守)
    Often the u is left out when written in Romanji, and the u is silent when the name is spoken. I personally prefer writing it as Anubisu to avoid confusion with the Ronin Warrior character Anubis.

Birth Date: December 3rd, 1550 (Year of the metal dog)
Note: This is the date given in YST information books. There’s a debate in the fandom if this date is based off the lunar (used in Japan before 1873) or solar calendar. As I am not sure which it is, I have left the date unchanged.

Back when he was born the area was known as Mutsu province. – Source: YST Encyclopedia aka Daijiten. (Note: Mutsu means “interior land.”)
A province in the northernmost area of Honshu. It’s famous for its apples and severe winters. (Mutsu apples are named in honor of this province.)

(Became a Dark Warlord/Mashou between 1563-1565. He’d be 12 at the youngest if he joined before his birthday.)
1 year in the Netherworld/Youjakai = 100 Earth years.

Subarmor is in dual red colors.

    A ninja weapon which is on the back of the left hand of the armor. Scroll to the bottom of this page to see a real life image of it.

    A long field sword primarily used on horseback. These weapons are large and heavy and take a lot of room to swing around.

    • In YST the sword is called Kokuroken
    • In RW the sword is called the Sword of Darkness

Attack Cry:

      Used it to bring frozen deer back to life and follow his command.

    • World of Darkness, bestow the cold kiss of death on this land/man
      Used to freeze an area, plants and animals, solid. Unfortunately I can’t quite make out the last part of this cry due to the echo.

  • Creating complete darkness indoors.
  • Creating blinding snowstorms outdoors.
  • Creating confusing illusions in total darkness which include multiples of himself and ghostly illusions.
