| “ | No need to get so mad. It's not like I have something against him or anything. I never had any interest in Ren Pa's right arm since the very start. Because I'm going to be the man who attains the final seat of Zhao's Three Great Heavens. | ” |
—Fu Tei to Shin during their duel. | ||
Fu Tei is a General of the Zhao Military. He and his unit took part in the Battle of Sai as members of the Ri Boku Army. Fu Tei's goal is to attain a seat amongst the Three Great Heavens of Zhao.
Appearance[]
Fu Tei's face.
Fu Tei is a man of average size and possibly well built. He wears a commander's armor of light purple coloring, helmet with a feather on top and a scarf that hides his face, exposing only his eyes.
Personality[]
As the opposite of Kaine's seriousness, Fu Tei is an easy-going character who jokes around even in the midst of bloody battle. He considers himself superior, as he speaks for himself in the third person using the honorific - sama (lord, master).
He also has high faith in his skills, as he aims to become one of the Three Great Heavens, As a running gag, he seems to be easily distracted by attractive women which often leads to him being beaten up by Kaine as she is often a target for his flirting.
On the other hand, he is not above showing respect to foes who have proven their strength to him. One example was his interactions with Rin Gyoku during the Battle of Hika. Knowing how Kan Ki's officers and soldiers were all doomed to die either way, Fu Tei offered to offer Rin Gyoku a quick and painless death in place of being captured and tortured by the Zhao armies. When Rin Gyoku declined to stand and die with Kan Ki in the end, Fu Tei solemnly saluted him and bide him farewell. Likewise, as Kan Ki was charging in on Ri Boku’s location in a suicidal charge, he dismissed the Zhao army’s eagerness to capture him alive as there was no need, and a death would be a mercy.
Story[]
Coalition Invasion Arc[]
During the second day of the Battle of Sai, his and Kaine's units were sent into action. When he first arrived, he noticed Ryuu Sen and quickly defeated him. He then ordered his troops to leave that spot to Kaine's unit, which was just climbing, and head left. Because that was the direction Ri Shin was. Later, he is seen battling Den Yuu. Like Ryuu Sen, Den Yuu proves not to be a match for Fu Tei. Fu Tei then comments on how Sai has lost two of their precious officers. Den Yuu then rose up, still not defeated. But before Fu Tei could finish him, Shin came to his rescue. Fu Tei quickly realized it was Shin.
Ri Shin tricks Fu Tei
Fu Tei fought against Shin and the fight seemed rather one-sided since Fu Tei was too fast for Shin to hit, However, Shin realized that Fu Tei was just fast and not that strong. After realizing that, Fu Tei reminded him of Kyou Kai in her speed and he revisited a lesson Kyou Kai once gave him about speed and how to beat it. Shin then used bait to trick Fu Tei and knocked him out. Their fight ended at that point because Fu Tei was unconscious and Ka Ryo Ten was being kidnapped by Kaine. Seeing this, Shin rushed over and rescued her, knocking Kaine over the wall in the process. Fu Tei then regained consciousness and saw Kaine getting knocked off the wall. Referring to Kaine as his future wife, Fu Tei started an angry charge at Shin for throwing Kaine off the wall. Right in the middle of the charge Ryuu Sen appeared and rammed into him with his shoulder, sending him flying off the wall right after Kaine. He survived the fall due to him falling on top of some of the men standing below the wall.
On the 7th day of the siege, the Yo Tan Wa Army arrived to reinforce king Ei Sei. Fu Tei was at first startled by this unexpected development, but quickly took a grip of the situation. He led his army to a head-on attack on the new enemies and managed to slay his way to where the main army was. However, upon reaching there, he and his unit struggled against Rankai and other the top tier mountain warriors.

As a vassal of Ri Boku, Fu Tei is a talented commander. Ri Boku trusts his capabilities and gives him special assignments as shown in the Battle at Shukai Plains.
Physical Abilities[]
Master Swordsman: Fu Tei shows a masterful proficiency with dual swords and wields them with considerable finesse. He was able to swiftly dispatch enemy soldiers with precise stabs and cuts to vital areas. Even 100-man commanders, Den Yuu and Ryuu Sen of the Hi Shin Unit posed little challenge for him and were deftly defeated by Fu Tei. Fu Tei's technique allows him to bait his opponents into attacking him first. During his duel with Shin, he demonstrates his incredible ability by dodging the 1000-man Commander's sword swings before even entering his reach, However, due to how precise that reflex is it made leading Shin's movements extremely easy.
- Sword Throw: Fu Tei showed the ability to kill the enemy with a precise throw of one of his blades as seen when he killed a Kan Ki soldier from a distance.[1]
Immense Speed: Fu Tei possesses an immense speed with his dual swords. Shin described him as not being all that strong, but his speed being possibly on par with Kyou Kai.

Fu Tei is a capable leader to marshal troops of over 10,000 soldiers and possesses above-average leadership skills. During his pincer attack on Ou Sen's headquarter during the Battle at Shukai Plains, he was able to effectively command his cavalry in order to execute the attack in the most efficient way.
Tactical Abilities[]
Fu Tei possesses a considerable amount of military knowledge. During the Battle of Sai, he was able to quickly respond to the completely unexpected situation with the Mountain Tribe's attack as well as get close to Yo Tan Wa's unit but failed in preventing her charge.
Military Formations: Fu Tei is capable to perform military formations as he led a Wedge Formation to execute the pincer attack on Ou Sen's headquarter.
Weaknesses[]
While Fu Tei is a talented military commander, he is far too reliant on Ri Boku and lacks the overall explosive martial power along with the tactical insight to direct a battlefield by himself.

Trivia[]
- Fu Tei's character appears to be based on the real historical general, Fu Di. However, there seems to be some differences as his historical counterpart was already a general in 240 B.C.
- In the years following the Coalition Arc, it was unknown if Fu Tei had been promoted past the rank of 3000-commander, but it can be assumed since Ri Boku had given him larger tasks such as looking over the transfer of over 10,000 troops and the taking of Ou Sen's head, he mostly attained the rank of at least a 4000-Man Commander or 5000-Man Commander.
- Fu Tei wears a scarf to protect his nose and mouth from allergens as he is quite prone to coughing.
