Character Information
Character Design

His design was based off of Sanzo from Saiyuki. Down to drinking and gambling, etc. It was just loosely. Zou have big ideals and dreams about the things he would like but he is not always willing to put forth the necessary effort, particularly if it means being subservient to others or having to work in an unimportant, menial capacity.

Weapon Type

The Emei Piercers, also called Emeici or Emei daggers, are a traditional Chinese martial art weapon, a Monk's secret weapon. It was the Close-Range weapon of the Shaolin Monk.

The Emei piercers are stabbing weapons. Because of their short length, they can be concealed in one's sleeves until needed. In the show it was tested on a gel torso. The Shaolin Monk expert landed four lethal blows on the gel torso's head in roughly as many seconds, demonstrating the Emei piercer's remarkable speed, accuracy and killing potential. However the weapon's very short range was noted as a problem.
