There is no such luster warfare. Significance of battles or dreams, these are nothing but honeyed words to lure those ignorant people who don't know any better. War is simply a slaughterhouse for the strong to butcher the weak however they please, nothing more, nothing less.

—Gai Mou expressing his honest views to Shin.

Gai Mou, also known as the Raging Bull, is a Great General of the Wei Military and a member of the Seven Fire Dragons's first generation.

Appearance[]

Gai Mou is a man of larger stature than even Mou Bu or Mou Gou. He wears bright red armor in battle. He has long black hair in a ponytail, a long beard, little goatee action, and a fu manchu moustache. He has a very fleshy nose, thick eyebrows, and a sinister complexion. His cross-face scars are silver, hinting at their age.

Personality[]

Gai Mou is an easy going laid-back Great General who only goes on the battlefield if he finds someone interesting to duel. He is very boastful to the point of even exaggerating about his strength.

He also appears to be rather dense often having his lieutenant Jun Sou chiding him on his incompetence. An example of this is shown when he misinterprets Jun Sou's explanation about Shin going as far to assume Shin killed Ou Ki and Kyou. Another example of his simple-minded attitude is when he yelled his name and rank at the Hi Shin Unit in hopes of having a one-on-one duel with Shin at the risk of giving away his location to everyone (which was ultimately successful). 

Gai Mou is also rather lecherous as seen when he is indulging himself with five women (claiming to be making up for 14 years of being imprisoned) before clashing with the Hi Shin Unit. He is later seen with them again when he questions Ka Ryo Ten after sleeping with his concubines. He is very sexually driven and lustful.

Philosophically, he sees Ren Pa and Ou Ki's opinions of war as a struggle of dreams and sentiments as nothing more than delusions meant to disguise the slaughter for what it really is. Thus, he concludes that war is just a practice where the strong slaughter the weak. With this, Ou Ki and Ren Pa never took his challenges to duel him seriously and would withdraw as he didn't have a reason to fight that was worthy enough for them to consider.

History[]

Gai Mou is a part of the Seven Fire Dragons of Wei that were Generals who were fighting with Zhao's Three Great Heavens and Qin's Six Great Generals.

At some point, Gai Mou along with Rei Ou sided with Earl Shi's conflict against Tai Ro Ji, Shou Sen and Ba Tou, three other Fire Generals with Tai Roji being personally responsible for the death of Earl Shi's younger sister. This resulted in the deaths of the opposing Fire Dragons.

As a punishment, Gai Mou was incarcerated in an underground prison for 14 years along with his fellow Fire Dragons.

Story[]

Fire Dragons of Wei Arc[]

After Tou leading a Qin army invasion in Wei, Great General Go Hou Mei requested the assistance of the three surviving Fire Dragons. As the fight started, Gai Mou was appointed in charge of the reserve units. While he was in his tent having some 'fun' with ladies, Jun Sou informed him of the Hi Shin Unit's threat and asked for back up. Gaimou retrieved his podao and went outside, starting to fight the Qin soldiers. He called out for Shin with his loud voice and challenged him to come and face him one on one. Despite Jun Sou's doubts, Shin actually answered the call and the two engaged in a duel, with Gai Mou clearly overwhelming his opponent. At that point, however, a soldier informed the great general that it was time for him to retreat, as Jun Sou had a special gift for him. Gai Mou went back to his tent where soldiers brought him a gift - the Hi Shin Unit strategist Ka Ryo Ten. However, Jun Sou was captured too, and they had to negotiate. Gai Mou asked Ten what her desire is, and why she is on the battlefield. Depending on her answer, he promised he would kill her, or let her go. Ten told him that her desire is to win as many battles as she can with the Hi Shin Unit and help Shin achieve his dream. Surprisingly, Gai Mou was satisfied with her answer. With the whole battlefield watching, Shin brought Jun Sou, and Gaimou brought Ten. The hostage transfer was done without a fight and Ten returned to the Hi Shin Unit, while Jun Sou returned to the Gai Mou Army.

War of the Three States Arc[]

`1While he didn't appear, it's possible that Gai Mou and his armies stay behind to safeguard and secure the borders of Wei while the Go Hou Mei Army went off to assist the armies of Qin in capturing Juuko city.

Gai Mou was one of the most dominant figures who ravaged the plains of China together with Zhao's Three Great Heavens and Qin's Six Great Generals as a member of Seven Fire Dragons of Wei's first generation. Before his incarceration, it was said that he was responsible for taking the heads of over a hundred enemy generals.[1]

However, despite his strength, other Great Generals such as Ou Ki or Ren Pa never bothered dueling him considering the fact that he lacked something worth fighting for, which limited his true potential, and made him unworthy of a monster such as Ou Ki, who stated that he would be worthy of being sent to the next world in a duel once he found that sentiment.

Physical Abilities[]

Immense Strength: Gai Mou possess a monstrous amount of physical strength as he carries a large podao into his battle. In a single stroke he can easily cut through multiple soldiers and almost killed So Sui, who barely survived the Fire Dragon's attack with his destructive power[2]. And during his first duel with Shin, he was able to send the young commander flying across the battlefield with his first strike during their exchange.[3]

Glaive Mastery: Gai Mau demonstrates a masterful proficiency in wielding his glaive with decades of experience underneath his belt. While wielding his massive weapon he has slaughtered dozens of enemy soldiers with vicious ease. His dueling prowess is also great enough to overwhelm Shin in their duel as the strength of his blow were compared to Ren Pa.[4]

Leadership[]

Gai Mou is a capable leader and is able to command men effectively in battlefields. He tends to lead charges in the front line.

Tactical Abilities[]

Due to his dense nature, it is assumed that Gai Mou is not particularly well versed nor highly skilled with tactical strategies. He often leaves that to his strategist, Jun Sou.

Quotes[]

  • [Monologue about Shin]
It's not because this kid is an accomplished podao wielder. If anything, due to how shallow his technique is, you can tell he only just took it up in the last few years. But this boy possesses something that more than makes up for it. His Boldness! Just what is he carrying on his shoulders?!

(Chapter 384, page 15–16)
