WHY:
“Behold the power of the Lord of Flames.” Western fans are about to get their first hands-on experience with Percival in the battle arena! This noble warrior has traveled far and wide to learn the secrets of statecraft, all in hopes of founding his dream country. Before setting out on his journey to achieve such lofty goals, he and Lancelot served as officers in the same knightly order, studying under the same master. He received his nickname, the Lord of Flames, from the noble way he wields his blazing longsword. Those who come face-to-face with him find themselves either entranced or terrified by his dazzling abilities.
