[[folder: Jin Muhou]]

->'''Chinese Name:''' 刃無鋒 Rèn Wú Fēng (CN) / Edgeless Blade (EN)

A wondering swordsman who happens to stumble upon the legendary hero, Syou Fu Kan in person. [[spoiler: While in all actually, he's the true one]].

For more insight, see [[spoiler: [[Characters/ThunderboltFantasySyouFuKan Syou Fu Kan]]]].

A professional assassin hired to ensure the safety of Ryoufu Setsujin.

* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:He thought entering the Sword Art Assembly would help redeem himself and reconcile his teacher, but it was all a trap set by Ryoufu. This only makes his situation worse after Ryoufu framed him for foul play and hiring the archer for injured/killed the other participants, no one will believe him anymore.]]

* AffectionateNickname: He calls Ryoufu Setsujin by "Ryou." According to Ryou, Setsu Mu Syou used to call him by "HeyYou" for about 3 years to reach this current state of name-calling.
* BodyguardingABadass: Setsu Mu Syou was on his 3rd year hired under Ryoufu Setsujin, and understood he is a notorious thief with a bad reputation. But he doesn't know Ryoufu's true target was [[spoiler: Setsu Mu Syou himself, (and by extension,) Tekkisen.]]

* DespairEventHorizon: The moment when Ryoufu Setsujin revealed his true intentions to him.

* IJustWantToBeNormal: He doesn’t want to be feared or hated by anyone he encounters for working as an assassin. His inner monologue revealed he was sincere with the above intentions, and was conflicted on how to live with normal civilians peacefullly if he were to continue this type of career. So he’s shown to have thoughts of quitting on being an assassin to live a normal life, or at least, use his talents under a brighter light if this were to continue to damage people’s impression of him. [[spoiler: [[LackOfEmpathy And Ryoufu took this chance away from him]].]]
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: The reason why Setsu Mu Syou is talkative despite his cold demeanor was that he is a man who truly wanted to socialize with people. His anti-socialness was mainly the result from working as an assassin; as people were too afraid to befriend him, he himself became hesitant to open up his deeper feelings with others. Ryoufu was the first person to approach him in a friendly matter.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:After Setsu Mu Syou is betrayed by Ryoufu, while blinded by rage, he uncontrollably and brutally slaughters every officer from the Sword Art tournament who gets in the way of killing Ryoufu. After he fails to kill Ryoufu, he makes a vow to kill anyone who knows him.]]

The greatest piece of evidence that could prove Setsu Mu Syou's innocence, the assassin's arrow, was removed by Ryoufu. He also lied to Setsu Mu Syou that the tournament was still continuing and insinuated he may have told a few lies to everyone involved.
