is a methodical teenager who wields the Monado: a sword that gives him the ability to use various magical abilities, as well as see the future. Shulk's ability to wield the Monado is due to him being one of the few survivors who returned from a quest in order to retrieve it. His appearance has been made much more realistic, combining both his Super Smash Bros. 4 model with his Xenoblade Chronicles artwork: his hair has been given much more details, and his colours have been darkened. He is voiced by Shintaro Asanuma in Japananese, and Adam Howden in English.
