First up an amazing model, whoever is doing the Tadao, Penanggalan and Taisho sculpts should be praised for their amazing work. As I personnaly think that these are some of the most amazing sculpts of these two waves.
Pro:
Well the easiest pro is his 4 dice in mellee something both Cult and Wave have been struggling with, he's well armoured, fear (4), martial prowess and split attack will mean that even if only looking at his traits he's an amazing fighter. He's also got 7 wounds putting him right between a regular human and an oni.
Now his ki feats are incredible first up: immovable and toughness two for 3 ki once per game. This means that this model will be almost impossible to kill on the turn he uses this feat. Second ki feat gives armour piercing for 2 ki for the activation, a solid ki feat especially against Ito and Ryu. His last ki feat costs only 1 ki and let's him heal for the ki statistic of an enemy model killed within 3 inch once a turn.
Now his unique effects are interesting as he either gets soulles and fear 5, this means auto-winning any opposed ki rolls. His other unique effect is even better depending on what your opponent is, he gets brutal (1), impetuous, oni rage and powerful attack (1).
Con:
Alright this gonna be difficult. In my opinion his only con is that all of his special attacks require one dice. That's it. Now you might look at the 12 rice and think he's on the pricey side, trust me he's not, models with 4 dice are always more expensive and this guy makes up for it with all the extra's he's got.
Verdict: Awesome
Both Cult and Wave have been struggling with 4 dice models and this is an easy counter, I can see this model become an easy choice for both factions at the 42 rice mark.
