Magic and Abilities

Card Magic (マジックカード Majikku Kādo): Shô utilizes this Magic to trap people into pocket dimensions, effectively turning them into cards.

• Card Dimension: Shô traps people in one of his cards. However despite being trapped in them, the figures inside can still interact with those on the outside to an extent, such as when a casino patron was able to use his knife and cut Lucy's bonds. This spell is strong enough to imprison and trap even a powerful S-Class Mage like Erza, who only managed to escape thanks to Ikaruga's attacks.

• Projectile Cards: Shô throws cards at his opponent, which then multiply, and attack like projectiles.

History

Past

Shô was one of the kids that was taken from his home and forced to build the R-System, otherwise known as the Tower of Heaven. It was there he made friends with Erza, Jellal, Wally, Millianna, and Simon, who weathered the cruel methods of the their captors together. One day, Erza decided it was time to fight back and inspired the other slaves to stage a revolt. Despite some sacrifices, the slaves were successful and set to leave the island for good. But Jellal, now having been brainwashed by "Zeref", who, in reality, was actually Ultear, destroyed the ship set to sail off of the island and claimed it was Erza's doing to convince Shô and his friends to stay and finish the tower. After eight years, the tower was completed.
