Rokusho (character)
Rokusho, also known as Head Scissors is a well-known character in the Medarot series.
Description
Rokusho is the name given to it by four Medarotters: Hikaru Agata, Ikki Tenryou, Azuma Amakura and Soruto. It is a KWG-type Medarot and set in stone what weapons most KWG-types used with its usual Scan ability, and Sword and Hammer attacks. All versions of Rokusho have a white, almost silver body, has two blue antennae on the head, a retractable blade-like weapon on one arm, and a mace on the other arm, and in the case of Ikki's Rokusho, a ragged and old cloak.
Nearly all versions of Rokusho have a calm and pacifistic personality and are guided by a code of honor.
Ikki's Rokusho, however is cynical, standoffish and almost comes off as cruel.
In the games
Hikaru's Rokusho
This Rokusho's personality is different from the anime, as in the games he'd already found his purpose in life. He is a pacifist, usually trying to reason with enemies, and unlike Ikki's Rokusho and his anime counterpart, doesn't try to seek revenge. He is guided by a code of honor, and actively tries to help Hikaru, being worried when the boy is attacked by God Emperor.
In the manga
Medarot 1
Hikaru and Metabee first met Rokusho in Dr. Medarot's lab, being controlled by Taiyo and his men. Metabee inadvertently frees him,and the duo end up on friendly terms.
Rokusho acts somewhat like an older sibiling to Metabee, responding negatively when Hikaru's father complains about him. Rokusho is organized and more polite than Metabee(who comes off as childlike), he hates using parts other than his own, and becomes Hikaru's parter. Later on when Hikaru participated in the World Robattle Tournament, Rokusho participated in many battles, fighting alongside Metabee. When Taiyo destroyed Metabee and injured Hikaru, Rokusho got separated from his friends and returned to battle Beast Master.
Medarot 2
Ten years later, it's revealed later that Rokusho suffers from PTSD after encountering Beast Master and watching Metabee die. He fights Ikki's Metabee in this berserk state until he's defeated.
Ikki's Rokusho
In the games
Medarot 2, 3 and 4
Rokusho appears in the same context as Metabee, given to Ikki by Hikaru. However Medarot 3 expands on his personality, portraying Rokusho as taciturn, but stand-offish and often cruel to Ikki, but not to the extremes Metabee goes. Metabee tries to annoy Ikki, while Rokusho acts like he doesn't care, annoying and making it hard for Ikki to interact with him.
