Zakuro is a female antagonist in Ninja Scroll, known for her ability to manipulate gunpowder and turn living bodies into walking fuses.
Zakuro is a woman who can control gunpowder at will.
Her deadly specialty makes her one of the more memorable threats in the story.
She develops feelings for Yurimaru, but he rejects her.
That rejection leaves her bitter and full of resentment.
Zakuro uses gunpowder as both a weapon and a trap.
She sends rats and even humans, implanted with ignition sources in their bellies, toward stores of gunpowder to trigger explosions.
Her methods are cruel, indirect, and devastating.
Rather than relying only on direct combat, she turns others into living tools of destruction.
During the battle with Dakuan, Zakuro is drenched in oil.
Kibagami Jubei then sets her on fire, causing her to explode.
Her death has immediate consequences.
The blast becomes the cause of the ship’s sinking.
