Siegfried

Siegfried is the Fifth Fist of Ragnarok, whose real name is Hibiki Kugenin (九弦院 響). He composes music by using his battles as inspiration for his melodies. He has a tendency to hum or sing classical music during his fights and his attacks are named after different music scores and compositions. Like his namesake, he appears invincible, always getting back on his feet after taking a severe beating. This is actually due to his fighting style which uses counters and dodging an opponent’s attack by the slightest margin. As such, he usually falls down on his own to fool his opponents. He is later defeated by Kenichi after being hit by a powerful punch Kenichi created himself. After their battle, he goes on a journey to find himself. Niijima later convinces him to join the Shinpaku Alliance, where he acts as the Alliance’s combat leader, but mostly as Niijima’s personal guard.
He is named after Sigurd, a hero in Norse mythology.
