Xavi, sometimes referred to as Zabii and Q-Ball in Devil Kings, is a character from the Sengoku BASARA series.

Biography

He is a missionary whose intention is to spread the love of God in Japan. Very proficient with machinery; his stronghold contains traps and mechanical drones (bearing resemblance to himself and dubbed the Mecha-Q's). In Devil Kings, he speaks with what seems to be an Italian accent. He wields two hand cannons and his element is fire. Xavi is loosely based on the Christian missionary Francis Xavier.

In Sengoku BASARA: Samurai Heroes, Xavi's teachings inspire the creation of a new religious movement in the island of Kyushu, called "Xavism", led by a devout named Sōrin Ōtomo. Although he does not appear physically in Samurai Heroes, having been murdered by Nobunaga, portraits of him appear in the Hetsugigawa stages.

Weapons

Twin Cannons - Dual bazookas with weak attack power and defense.

Core Welders - More powerful than Twin Cannons, but still only have mediocre attack and defense.

Magma Drill - Bazookas with an extra fiery kick. They have high attack, poor defense and also add fire damage to each hit.

Negotiator 9000S - These bazookas have low attack but very high defense. They also add a bonus hit to every blow made on a "primed" target.

Spartan Launchers - Have the same properties as the Magma Drills, but with vastly higher attack and mediocre defense.

Megaphones - A comical weapon. These "guns" have decent attack and good defense, but they also have the same prime advantage as the Negotiator 9000s, so this is a good weapon for bumping up the combo meter.

Trivia

An inside joke is that Xavi's angels resemble him with curly hair, and appear whenever he wants them.

Before each confrontation, Xavi always shouts out "Let's go, Xavi!"; this was followed by his successor Sōrin in Samurai Heroes.

He is called "Pontiff" Xavi by his deluded followers.
