Shiryu is known as the calmest and most collected. His sheer physical strength is the greatest of the Bronze Saints,This is reflected in his ability to win numerous battles without his Dragon Cloth. Shiryu was trained at the Lushan Five Ancient Peaks in China, where he learned to reverse the waterfall's flow with his techniques and obtained the Dragon Bronze Cloth. His mentor was the Libra Gold Saint, Libra Dōhko..

Shiryu wore the emerald dragon cloth as well as the diadem like headgear he continued to meditate, but every now and then, his thoughts drifted to his dear...shunrei, he grunted and forced those thoughts as he channeled his cosmo through his entire body, meditating just as his old master has taught him.

"Clear your mind...focus on what lays beyond.." Shiryu whispered as he moved his cladded arms, hands, feet, his long black hair billowing with the wind, once centered, he performed the Rozan Shōryu-ha, impacting the cascade and shooting it upwards, but, he didn't reversed the current, not like the old master Dohko had said he should, he got careless and again, thought of shunrei rather than his lessons.
