Shaka is one of the Twelve Gold Saints and stands guard over the Virgo Temple. He's best known as "the man closest to god"—a title earned through immense power and near-complete mastery of the Araya Shiki, the 8th sense. In fact, his cosmos is stronger than even legendary Gold Saints like Libra Dohko and Aries Shion. What makes Shaka unique is his existence between two worlds. He's a Bodhisattva who views humanity through a lens of compassion tempered by detachment. As a child in India, he was already spiritual and precocious, meditating by the Ganges and communing with God. Seeing death and suffering reflected in the river shook him deeply, leading him down a path of esoteric training. He eventually transcended human attachments, observing people's feelings with pity rather than truly experiencing them himself. That detachment defined him—until his encounter with Ikki forced him to remember he was human too. His combat style relies heavily on illusions and Buddhist-inspired techniques. His signature move, Transmigration to the Six Paths, traps opponents in illusory rebirth realms (including the realm of beasts, humans, hell, and heaven). He strengthens his cosmos by closing his eyes and releasing the stored energy when he opens them again. His Treasures of Heavens is his most devastating attack—it strips away the victim's five senses and leaves them as living corpses by shutting down the brain's core functions. He also employs Demon Pacifier to blast multiple targets and summons minor spirits through Heaven Supremacy on Evil Spirits. Beyond offense and defense, Shaka uses concentration techniques rooted in Hinduism and Buddhism. Om maximizes his cosmic energy, while the Tenpōrin Mudra clears his mind of doubt during battle. He also generates a defensive barrier called Hāṃ around his body. Shaka played crucial roles in both the Sanctuary arc and the Hades arc, though his journey ultimately led him to a tragic end.
