Ibuki
Ibuki's whole path changed after losing Mashiro Sagura—his friend who died so Ibuki could gain the red dragon's power. It wasn't something he chose, and the guilt of it stuck with him. But instead of falling apart, he made a promise to himself: he'd become the best king possible, like that sacrifice meant something. Fans often note that this moment defines everything about who Ibuki becomes—the weight of what he lost, and the drive to honor it by actually being worthy of that power.
