Merkava

This article is about a crossover with Under Night In-Birth!

I will take this prey. A most curious encounter. Interesting.

メルカヴァ Merkava
Name	Merkava

A mysterious man(?) bearing a strong resemblance to a Void. Those taking the form of Voids are but shadows of their former selves, who aimed to surpass In-Births and become Re-Births. There are many who take interest in these strange beings.
With a long reach and an abundance of airborne moves, Merkava is a character who excels at mid- to long-range. For those who advance within his guard, ambush them from midair with I, Soar the Sky.
