He,

determined by the
lines of their
bodies. These puppets
were created as
experimental asexual
samples necessary
for the ritual
to transform Yuga
into a god of destruction.
But experimental
samples or no,
these beings modeled
on Haohmaru and
Shiki have been
given strength
from the Netherworld
by Yuga to give
them abilities
that far and away
surpass those of
Gandara.
