Moving on, Sun Bird (also known as burung matahari) is said to be the guardian of the South. He was a Malaysian pirate in the 1600s but was reborn by the power of his twin krises. Sun Bird has the ability heal and provide healing support to his team.

Also, his haircut seems to be very familiar. Maybe we’ve seen too many Malaysian men with that groovy haircut. In fact, maybe you know someone with the same hairstyle!
