Shagān (シャガーン ) is a minor character featured in Shodai Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun. He is a genie who is shrouded in mystery.
Background[]
Shagān is able to be summoned with the use of the Mysterious Ring, a special item that has an extremely low chance of dropping from certain enemies. Upon being summoned, he is able to grant Kunio a single wish. The player is given three randomly selected options out of the following[1]:
- "I want to go back to the hotel" - Returns the player back to Hotel Osaka.
- "I want a gift" - Instantly recovers 50 health, though will continually increase the health gauge.
- "I want willpower" - Energy increases by 100 and will ignore the player's maximum energy.
- "I want to live it all" - Fully restores health and energy.
- "I want to be healthy" - Restores the player's physical condition to normal.
- "I want a friend" - Increases the hidden "Luck 2" stat by 100.
- "I want to be stronger" - Increases the player's level by one. This wish is hidden if the player is at level 50.
- "I want to have a girl" - An office lady is summoned and will hug the player before disappearing.
- "I want to be a girl" - The player is transformed into Miho Yanagisawa.
- "I want to be happy" - Temporarily sets the player's luck stat to the maximum amount.
- "I want to drink" - Temporarily changes the player's luck stat to 1 and 0.
When playing as Miho, Kunio's special moves will become unavailable and is instead only given the ability to jump and use a slap attack. The player is transformed back into Kunio if the Bike Key is used, a story event is triggered, the game is restarted after saving, or the player dies. Each time Shagān is summoned, there is a chance that the ring used will break even if the player decides to not make a wish.
