Further motivation comes from a degenerative heart disease which shortens his life, which has been treated by Degel using his freezing ability to estabilize Cardia's heart temperature.

Techniques[]

  • Scarlet Needle (スカーレットニードル, Sukāretto Nīdoru): Kardia used this skill as his trademark. This technique rests on your index finger having a nail-shaped sting like a scorpion. It consists of 15 contact points (which draw exactly the pattern of the stars of the constellation of this sign) which inflict great pain to the opponent slowly removing his five senses can be launched separately causing a slow torture or thrown together to turn the opponent's life. These 15 bites are the number of stars in the constellation of Scorpio.
