- —Senketsu to Ryūko Matoi
Senketsu is one of the main protagonists of the Kill la Kill series. He appeared in the 141st episode of Death Battle, Shadow VS Ryuko, where he and Ryūko Matoi fought against Shadow the Hedgehog from the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
History
Created entirely out of Life Fibers, Senketsu was created by Isshin Matoi as a nameless Kamui specifically for his daughter, Ryūko, with the purpose of fighting off the threat of the Life Fibers. Isshin imbued him with Ryūko's DNA; as such, only she can communicate with and properly wear him. Sometime after his creation, he was hidden by Isshin during an invasion into his laboratory, in which Isshin was murdered. Senketsu would remain inactive there until Ryūko accidentally fell upon him years later, inadvertently reawakening him when blood from a reopened wound dripped on him. Desperate not to fall asleep again, he forcefully put himself on Ryūko. Once he regained his composure, he told her that he remembered little more than his powers and creator. Forming a symbiotic relationship, the two would seek to fight through the ranks of Honnōji Academy in order to find the truth behind Ryuko's heritage and the identity of her father’s killer.
