Zadich (ザディ ッチ , Zadicchi) is a Human featured in Nineteen Assassins. A member of the White Tigers, he was a novice student who had mastered the Denkoken. He serves as a secondary antagonist during Nineteen Assassins.
Overview[]
Appearance[]
Zadich is a tall, portly fellow with a shaved head. His hair is brown, though he prefers to shave it all off. He has tanned skin and brown eyes. Like the other White Tigers, he wears the standard white gi and black boots of his school. He also wears a black headband sometimes.
Personality[]
Both the Cranes and Tigers consider Zadich a slow, unintelligent boy. Zadich is filled with rage, directing much of that at Yurin for leaving the Tigers for the Cranes, wanting nothing more than to kill her. He has a rivalry with her throughout Nineteen Assassins. In chapter 2, he prevents Zhajiang from trying to rescue Shumi from Togarashi, showing pragmatism and bravery by standing against his leader to do what's right. The love he has for his friend in that moment is not something Zhajiang appreciates until much later in the story. While Mashiro has little faith in him during the Suma practice tournament, Zadich showed his quality by defeating Yurin and Chiaotzu without taking a hit. He also put on a good show against Paik, who was much stronger than him. He's underrated as a fighter even by his teammates. After learning of Mashiro's death at the hands of the Crane Hermit, he channels his rage towards the Crane students, neither crying nor overtly expressing sadness. He agreed with Zhajiang that Valentia Milano's offer to provide the Tigers with medical treatment to kill the Cranes was not the same as accepting a bounty on a fellow assassin (which was considered a taboo). He's a fiercely loyal boy, not the brightest nor strongest, but chock full of authentically earnest feelings.
History[]
Nineteen Assassins[]
In the second scene of chapter 1, after the Cranes went into Yoshitaro's tea shop, the White Tigers entered. Zhajiang, Shumi, and Zadich mocked the Cranes. They were perturbed by Yurin switching sides. Paik threatened to kill them if they tried to attack Yurin. Zadich promised to kill Yurin if he ever ran into her while collecting bounties. Zhajiang agreed, promising to kill the Cranes if they ever ran into them.
From the counter, Yoshitaro yelled at them, threatening to ban them from his shop if they fought. The Tigers moved to the other side of the shop, promising to meet the Cranes in the field soon. Tien decided it was time to leave and check out the bounty in Cardan.
In the fourth scene, Zhajiang found Huo-Guo and Zadich sparring in the White Tigers' dojo's courtyard while Shumi mediated next to them. He asked Huo-Guo to choose a bounty for them that would pay tons of money. She looked on her phone, finding the Rebel King of Nowhere, who was located on the island of Akki deep in the southern ocean. His bounty was Ƶ500,000,000, which got their attention. They resolved to take him out tomorrow.
In the third scene of chapter 2, the White Tigers met Silver, Glase, Eugen, Alabastian, and Charles on the Red Sea three miles north of Akki. Thereafter, the NRRA officers took them to the southern tip of the island, known as Demon's Point. Glase dropped them off in a rowboat. She explained the Rebel King of Nowhere lived in the jungle just beyond the beach and had red skin. He would be unmistakable. The woman promised to provide cover fire for them if they required help. She didn't know if the demon would skinchange in front of them, as they had little experience with him. She reminded them that King Furry himself had ordered the alien killed, for he was supposedly planning on taking over the world. This unnerved Huo-Guo.
Glase left them; the Tigers entered the forest. They didn't get very far in before they were attacked out of nowhere by an energy attack. Dazed and bleeding, the Tigers were attacked by what appeared to be a middle-aged woman. Huo-Guo attacked first, though the demon hit her away with a single kick. Zhajiang began charging a Denkoken while Shumi distracted the demon. She wasn't able to hold back the Makyan for long, pleading with Zhajiang to use the technique as she was beaten bloody. The boy tried to gather up as much energy as he could, waiting for the best opportunity.
When the demon punched Shumi to the ground, he saw his chance, releasing all of his energy upon her. Even as the forest burned to ash around her, the demon remained standing, unharmed, laughing at Zhajiang's pathetic attack. Glase and Eugen took this moment to attack from far off, though the demon parried the bullets without effort. Zhajiang begged Zadich to take Huo-Guo and run back to the boat. He planned on saving Shumi himself. The demon laughed at them, creating a red energy ball, for thinking they had any chance of getting away.
Zhajiang grew teary-eyed, flashes of memories coming to him, realizing he'd have to sacrifice himself to save the others. Just then, Shumi jumped up, punching the demon deep in the stomach, causing her to drop her energy attack. Shumi screamed at them to run. Zhajiang didn't want to leave her, but she said there wasn't time for her to get away. They'd all die if they didn't run now. Shumi pinned the demon to the ground. Zhajiang tried to charge up another Denkoken while Zadich pleaded with him to leave. The demon pushed Shumi away, pinning her and pummeling her mercilessly. As Zhajiang prepared to release his attack, he was knocked unconscious by Zadich.
In the third scene of chapter 3, the Tigers and Cranes met at the Suma tournament grounds while dozens of onlookers watched. Shen noticed one of the Tigers wasn't with them. Mashiro promised the tournament would go forward with three versus five. He offered Yurin one last chance to rejoin his school, but she refused. She stepped up to fight Zadich. Mashiro read out the rules, which were the same as the World Martial Arts Tournament's.
Then, their fight began. Yurin danced around Zadich, refusing to get too close because she was obviously slower, smaller, and weaker. The crowd jeered, causing Yurin to attack haphazardly. Zadich responded with several kicks and punches that swiftly knocked her out. The spectators went wild. Two men ran off with Yurin on a stretcher. Chiaotzu entered the ring next. He used telekinesis on Zadich before rushing at him. However, the Tiger was able to break free and kick him out of the ring easily. With that, Chiaotzu was eliminated.
Shen sent Paik into the ring next. The crowd chanted Zadich's name. He drank in their passion, hyping himself up. While Chiaotzu was removed from the area on a stretcher, the fight began. They went at each other with a much higher pace than the previous battles, Zadich taking the offensive. Paik withstood his assault, responding with a flying kick that shattered his arm, knocking him to the edge of the ring. He appeared unconscious, so Mashiro began the count. Before he got to seven, Paik grabbed Zadich and threw him out of the ring, ending any hope of him coming back.
In the second scene of chapter 4, Zhajiang woke up in the hospital in extreme pain. Zadich was in a bed next to him covered in bandages. Huo-Guo was asleep in her bed. He waddled over, asking him how he was feeling. Zhajiang was in immense pain, wrapped up in casts and bandages as well. Zadich told him Master Mashiro had left that morning, telling him he'd return in a few days' time. They wondered where he had gone off to.
Afterward, they talked about the Crane School, thinking the tournament had been a waste of time. It would have been better to ambush them. Neither would admit they were inferior to the Cranes. Just then, a woman entered the room, closing the door behind her. She introduced herself as Valentia Milano. She congratulated them for their effort in the tournament, especially since they had been two fighters down and had still managed to knock out four of the Cranes. She then revealed that not long ago the Cranes had murdered her sister Gertrude. Huo-Guo had woken up by now, stating the Cranes had killed her for the bounty on her head. Valentia didn't care, as it was still murder. They refused to kill the Cranes for money (as it was taboo for assassins to accept bounties placed on other assassins). Valentia revealed her father was the mayor of Orange Star City. If the Tigers agreed to kill the Cranes, she'd give them the best medical care available in the world, healing their wounds significantly faster than the Cranes'. She had a helicopter waiting to take them to Orange Star City with her. The Tigers gathered together, conversing in whispers. They wondered if it was a setup. Zadich was willing to go, while Huo-Guo thought it was basically accepting a bounty on a fellow assassin. Despite her protests, Zhajiang rose and followed Valentia out, telling his fellow Tiger that no one would find out. After hesitating, Huo-Guo followed him to the door, which moved Zhajiang deeply.
In the fourth scene of chapter 5, Zhajiang was lounging in the Orange Star City hospital. Shortly before dinnertime, Huo-Guo and Zadich met up with Zhajiang, showing them a letter from the Crane Hermit that informed them he had killed Master Mashiro. Zhajiang realized it was the Cranes who had done it, as the letter had demanded them to leave Suma at once. He resolved to attack Tien and the others immediately. His companions tried to dissuade him, as they were neither strong nor healthy enough to defeat the Cranes. Zhajiang didn't want to wait but their pleading convinced him to wait at least two weeks. Zadich promised he'd murder Yurin. Zhajiang limped off, trying his best not to think about Mashiro lest he break down in tears.
In the seventh scene, the Cranes stopped at the Ootaji Temple before returning to the dojo. Chiaotzu and Tien shared a moment, the boy expressing eagerness to perform additional assassination missions. Jaoros came over, saying there were lights on inside the teahouse. Everyone thought it was Kyofune. They walked to the building when suddenly they were ambushed by the White Tigers. Zhajiang sprung out from the teahouse, hitting Jaoros in the hand with a Denkoken, shattering it. He attacked Paik next, though she jumped aside, firing a Dodon Ray. Her attack missed. Zadich jumped from the shadows, hitting Yurin from behind with a kick. Huo-Guo did likewise, attacking Tien. He noticed, spinning around and blocking the attack. She came at him again but he sent her flying with a reverse roundhouse. Zadich stomped Jaoros, then took Yurin in a hold. Zhajiang parried Paik's attacks and kneed her in the stomach. He used an afterimage to dodge around her and take ahold of her like Zadich had done with Yurin.
Zhajiang screamed at the Cranes, calling them dishonorable for killing his master. Tien and the others didn't know what he was talking about. Tien asked him to release Paik and walk away without fear of reprisal. Zhajiang grew emotional, saying how Mashiro had taken him in from the streets, having been the only person to give him a chance, to help him. He snapped Paik's neck before Tien could utter another word, killing her. Tien retaliated immediately by killing Huo-Guo with a Dodon Ray. Both sides were enraged and hurt deeply. Chiaotzu attacked Zadich with a ki ball, breaking Yurin free. He had killed the boy.
