cygnus hyouga

Birthday: 23 January One of the truly interesting main characters in the series, Hyoga appears calm, collected, and unemotional. Beneath the surface, however, he is passionate and devoted to his ideals. The one person that forever lives in Hyoga's mind is his deceased mother. She died when Hyoga was still very young, having drowned during the shipwreck of a doomed cruise. The ship sank into the icy ocean, where the extreme cold prevented rigor mortis. Throughout the Sanctuary arc, Hyoga is shown to visit his mother periodically by diving into the waters. As a saint born under the Cygnus constellation, Hyoga can control and manipulate ice and snow at will. It is also implied that he is the first to wear the Cygnus Cloth in 10,000 years, as the cloth was previously concealed within an iceberg before Hyoga retrieved it. Hyoga's favorite technique is Diamond Dust, a windy attack that blasts ice and snow at the opponent in a single, concentrated point. He has used this technique for other purposes, like creating a mirror that reflects certain attacks or performing this attack on the legs of the opponent. Before learning Aurora Execution, his most powerful technique was Holodnyj Smerč, meaning "ice tornado" (renamed "Aurora Thunder Attack" in the anime). This technique captures his Cosmo into a single tornado, unleashed via an uppercut. Essentially, it is a more powerful variation of "Diamond Dust." The "Aurora Thunder Attack" involves Hyoga clasping both hands together as he expels snow and ice at the opponent. (Sources: Wikipedia, Wesker_CDA)
