Who was Soshi Edit

Soshi's origin was shrouded in mystery. Some said that he was the son of Shosuro and Bayushi. ^{[citation needed]} The most commonly accepted case was that it was Shosuro herself, attempting to hide from the events on the Day of Thunder. The Soshi family did not exist until after the Day of Thunder, and after Shosuro disappeared, and Soshi himself disappeared only a few decades later. ^[1]
