'''Sho''' is a secondary character in [[Puyo Wars]] and a major protagonist in [[Compile Worlds]]. He aids [[Daichi]] and [[Marin]] in defeating the evil [[Angol Mois]], and debuted in {{Episode|33}} to stop Angol's revived plans in [[Primp]] as well. His [[DNA]] was used by [[Ekoro]] to create an [[Alpha|impostor]] that would go on to start the events of [[Pre-Meteor Arc#Ekoro_Arc|the Ekoro Arc]].

'''Sho''' is [[one]] of the [[three]] main characters from the really obscure strategy game [[Puyo Puyo Gaiden! Puyo Wars]]. In this game, he seems to be a friend of [[Deitch]] and [[Marin]], and fights them using [[Tectar]]s that use [[Puyo]] as their [[energy source]]. The Tectar that represents him in the game's opening and promotional media resembles a giant [[duck]], bringing into question his [[tactic]]s.

Sho's first life was unknown; [[MadouCyc]] suggests that he was the "original spirit of the wind (magic?)" in the [[Madou World]]. Unlike Marin though, his life and cause of death(?) are unknown, and were not explored in Puyo Wars. He [[reincarnated]] as a [[human]] in the [[Puyo Wars World]], where he met Marin and constructed a [[Protector]] to ride, shaped like a [[Ducks|duck]], interestingly enough. Later on, he and Marin confront Daichi to test his might, and he states that Daichi would never equal Angol. Sho left, and didn't appear again until Daichi lost control of his synthetic form and rampaged about, prompting Sho to take action. After learning of Daichi and Angol's common origin and dragging the goddess [[Eldora]] into the mess, Sho helped Daichi defeat Angol, resulting in his "banishment" to [[the Abyss]]. He also presumably returned to his homeworld with Marin.

Translations suggest that Sho is a [[Tsundere]], though this has yet to be confirmed. There are also numerous jokes(?) in the dialogue suggesting he could be in love with Daichi. Regardless of whether Sho is or isn't gay, the other characters, particularly Marin and [[Ecolo]], tease him for it anyway. Due to this, he almost refused to [[Neutralization|neutralize]] Alpha, since it required [[touch]]ing him. <s>Which would've been okay if Alpha was a [[Nintendo DS]].</s> He may have a possible interest in birds or flying, given his Protector is an aerial vehicle based on a Duck. [[Watty]] apparently describes him as a "Mama's boy", on top of being ambiguously homosexual.

More notable than his game appearance is his appearance in [[Subete PuyoPuyo]], taking on a vastly larger role than he ever could have in his only official appearance. Sho, unlike some of the other protagonists, exhibits great emotional (over)reaction to situations, such as [[dance|dancing]] around like a [[moron]] in [[joy]] when he was released from his [[cage]], or trembling in fear at the sight of [[Eltia]] walking and talking. He also demonstrates reasoning and intellect; he is capable of rebuilding [[Ekoro's clones]] and has a vast knowledge about robotics in general thanks to his background in it. He lived in the [[Madou World]] prior to being taken to [[Primp]], where he vaguely recalled running into [[Witch]] and [[Arle Nadja]].

Prior to and during the events of the ''Ekoro arc'', Sho was kidnapped from the Madou World by [[Ekoro]] and [[blackmail|threatened him into building]] the [[laboratory]] of his [[Mountain Base]] and several of the clones therein. Most notably, Sho worked in tangent with Ekoro to create [[Phi]], a clone of [[Lagnus the Brave]] destined to be ''Project Perfect Light''. Despite his hard work, and Phi's successful development as a clone with [[artificial intelligence|free will AI]], Ekoro destroyed him and responded by locking Sho in a cage in [[Fos Canyon]] and working on [[Zeta]] by himself. It can be presumed that Ekoro may have locked Sho away because he feared his involvement made them susceptible to neutralization or having more friendly and moral personalities.

Of course, being a wind elemental, Sho can manipulate the wind to his whim. Stirring up tornadoes and launching powerful gusts are some of the things he's capable of. Additionally, he is a good air pilot and is athletic, cartwheeling out of the way of Draco's fiery breath. He's also quite skilled at [[Melee combat]] apparently, being able to perform low kicks and uppercuts during the battle with [[Satan]]'s Team in [[SHAME]].

Sho wasn't discovered until <span class='plainlinks'>[http://kumizone.org/wiki/:ChatLog/Subete_PuyoPuyo/22 episode 22]</span>, where his cage in [[Fos Canyon]] was discovered conveniently next to the last remaining evidence of Phi's existence. Sho was released by [[Ringo]]'s party, and he shared with them intimate knowledge of Ekoro's plans, except those pertaining to Zeta, which he was not allowed to work on. He followed the party to the [[Temple of the Wastelands]] to deliver [[Strange Klug]] the [[AVI]] disc Phi had recorded, and then back to [[Puyopolis]], where he settled into the remaining underground chambers of the [[ADMA]] Headquarters and began rebuilding Phi. He was still building Phi by the episode's end. Zeta implied that she would help him rebuild [[Beta]] and [[Theta]] as well.

Sho is a secondary character in Puyo Wars and a major protagonist in Compile Worlds. He aids Daichi and Marin in defeating the evil Angol Mois, and debuted in Episode 33 to stop Angol's revived plans in Primp as well. His DNA was used by Ekoro to create an impostor that would go on to start the events of the Ekoro Arc.

Biography

Sho's first life was unknown; MadouCyc suggests that he was the "original spirit of the wind (magic?)" in the Madou World. Unlike Marin though, his life and cause of death(?) are unknown, and were not explored in Puyo Wars. He reincarnated as a human in the Puyo Wars World, where he met Marin and constructed a Protector to ride, shaped like a duck, interestingly enough. Later on, he and Marin confront Daichi to test his might, and he states that Daichi would never equal Angol. Sho left, and didn't appear again until Daichi lost control of his synthetic form and rampaged about, prompting Sho to take action. After learning of Daichi and Angol's common origin and dragging the goddess Eldora into the mess, Sho helped Daichi defeat Angol, resulting in his "banishment" to the Abyss. He also presumably returned to his homeworld with Marin.

Translations suggest that Sho is a Tsundere, though this has yet to be confirmed. There are also numerous jokes(?) in the dialogue suggesting he could be in love with Daichi. Regardless of whether Sho is or isn't gay, the other characters, particularly Marin and Ecolo, tease him for it anyway. Due to this, he almost refused to neutralize Alpha, since it required touching him. Which would've been okay if Alpha was a Nintendo DS. He may have a possible interest in birds or flying, given his Protector is an aerial vehicle based on a Duck. Watty apparently describes him as a "Mama's boy", on top of being ambiguously homosexual.

Of course, being a wind elemental, Sho can manipulate the wind to his whim. Stirring up tornadoes and launching powerful gusts are some of the things he's capable of. Additionally, he is a good air pilot and is athletic, cartwheeling out of the way of Draco's fiery breath. He's also quite skilled at Melee combat apparently, being able to perform low kicks and uppercuts during the battle with Satan's Team in SHAME.

Etymology

Sho is a common given name in Japan. It means "To soar" or "Flying". This puns with Daichi and Marin's names, who relate to the land and sea respectively. (Sure is Kingdom Hearts in here)
