"...Why don't we enjoy a special game? Except we won't be betting with coins... let's bet with our lives."

— Shô to Erza Scarlet in "Dream of a Butterfly"

Shô (ショウ Shou) is a childhood friend of Erza, having known her during the days she and their friends were kept as slaves and forced to build the Tower of Heaven.

Appearance

Shô is a young man with blond hair, arranged in a wavy style with fringes hanging above his forehead, and tanned skin. He has somewhat dark beady eyes and a small 5-shaped tattoo can be located below his lower lip. He also has an earring with diamond ornaments attached on his left ear. When he was first introduced, he wore a waistcoat with yellow buttons. Later on, he is seen wearing a long red robe with collar along with a pink pinstripe suit underneath it.

Personality

As Shô is the youngest of the group, he is the most sensitive to what's going on around him. He is also the closest to Erza, calling her "nee-san" (big sister). In his childhood, Shô was seen crying a lot as he was the one who planned their escape and couldn't admit it, resulting in Erza losing her eye.[1] He has an unusual personality, shown that he was partially insane when he wanted to get revenge on Erza.[2] Overall, he seems to be a caring person as it was shown how he cares for his "elder sister", Erza, so much.[3]

History

Young Shou

Young Shô

Shô was one of the children that were taken from his home and forced to build the R-System, otherwise known as the Tower of Heaven. It was there he made friends with Erza, Jellal, Wally, Millianna, and Simon, who weathered the cruel methods of the their captors together.[4] One day, Erza decided it was time to fight back and inspired the other slaves to stage a revolt.[5] Despite some sacrifices, the slaves were successful and set to leave the island for good.[6] But Jellal, now having been brainwashed by "Zeref", who, in reality, was actually Ultear,[7] destroyed the ship set to sail off of the island and claimed it was Erza's doing to convince Shô and his friends to stay and finish the tower.[8] After eight years, the tower was completed.[9]

Synopsis

Tower of Heaven arc

Shô, along with the other members of Team Jellal, appear at the casino that Team Natsu were vacationing in, with Shô forcefully becoming the blackjack dealer at the table Erza and Lucy are playing at.[10] He then uses his Magic to turn the patrons into cards. He accuses Erza of betraying them and distracts her long enough for Wally to shoot her with a Sleeping Bullet. He and the others then kidnap her, as well as Happy and head back to the Tower of Heaven.[11] During the trip back, Shô comforts Erza, but his emotions quickly change and he yells at Erza, almost manically, for "betraying" them.[12]

Shô explains Jellal's plans

Shô explains Jellal's plans

Shô goes to talk to Erza in her cell at the tower. There, he explains Jellal's plans to use Erza as a sacrifice to revive the Dark Mage, Zeref. After hearing this plan, Erza knocks him out and escapes.[13]

Shô hears the truth

Shô hears the truth about Jellal

He recovers and finds her, but not before overhearing of what really happened back when the revolt was completed, and that Erza never betrayed them. This throws Shô into a conflict on believing Jellal, or Erza. Simon later appears and confirms Erza's story, as well as Jellal's intention of playing a game with the coming threat of the Etherion. Everyone then agrees to work together in order to stop Jellal.[14]

When Shô hears Jellal's announcement about using the Etherion, Shô traps Erza in one of his cards and runs off, with intent on protecting her, defeating Jellal, and escaping the tower.[15] Unfortunately he runs into Ikaruga and finds himself no match for her. Luckily, Erza frees herself from her card and does battle with Ikaruga as Shô looks on.[16] After she wins, Erza convinces him to escape as she presses on to Jellal.[17]

Escaping the Tower of Heaven

Shô and the others escape the tower

He, Wally, Millianna, Happy, Lucy, Gray and Juvia get off the island[18] just in time as the Etherion crashes down upon the tower and completes the R-System. The group can do nothing more than watch from afar as the rest of the events unfold.[19]

Jellal is eventually defeated, and Erza is saved by Natsu. Later, Shô, Wally, and Millianna apologize to Erza for their actions and mourn the loss of Simon. Erza invites the group to join Fairy Tail,[20] but while they consider it at first, they stow away the night they're supposed to head back, still feeling ashamed of what they've done. Erza finds out but doesn't stop them, and allows them to go. However, this is not not before giving her friends a grand sendoff with fireworks as a way of showing that they'll always be friends.[21]
