Born with luminescent white hair and piercing icy-blue eyes, he quickly discovers that his abilities are far beyond those of ordinary mortals. As a child, his natural curiosity and compassion set him apart, but it is during a fateful incident in the village market—when he unleashes a surge of energy to protect a defenseless stray—that his destiny begins to unfold. Now a young warrior in training, Saru’s journey takes him from humble beginnings to the grand Measuring Ceremony, where his prodigious power is revealed before a captivated audience. With the mystical Soul Prism as his witness, his inner system awakens, and he summons his loyal shadow guardians—Umbra, Noctis, and Eclipse—each representing a facet of his growing strength.
