February 9th is the birthday of Kilik, the Destiny Awakened!

Let's celebrate the dignified ascetic who challenges the Soul Edge with the sacred mirror Dvapara-Yuga, a memento of his sister, and the staff Kali-Yuga, which absorbs all power!#SOULCALIBUR pic.twitter.com/vuhFxgJYXS
These are concept art for Kilik. His costume and armor are decorated with Fenghuang motifs. The Dvapara-Yuga, a holy mirror to contain his inner Evil, is not to be missed. The pattern that glows suspiciously in his Evil state covers his entire body. (1/2)#SOULCALIBUR pic.twitter.com/vw9th839ny

(2/2) In the rough draft stage, we tried to keep elements of the previous designs, while still trying to create a style most appropriate for Kilik when he was equipped with the Dvapara-Yuga. In this game, the change to Malfested was a new visual challenge for us.#SOULCALIBUR pic.twitter.com/xKEn9G80C5

On Kilik's background, as if to represent his virtuous soul, is the Fenghuang with flame.

Anecdotes about the flaming bird are told all over the world, and it is sometimes referred to as a symbol of immortality and rebirth – just like the legendary sword, Soul Edge.#SOULCALIBUR pic.twitter.com/5nfcNTtl3P
