Battle[]
Even though the battle is not a back attack, some of the special attack formation rules still apply to the battles fought in the pagoda: the Change command to change row is grayed out, Shake starts with an empty ATB bar, and the first physical attack Yuffie inflicts deals double damage.
Shake may inflict Fury using Rage Bomber only as a counter-attack or when poisoned. Fury causes Yuffie's Limit Breaks to fill up faster, but her attacks miss more often.
Strategy[]
Shake's level is a multiple of 4, meaning he is vulnerable to L4 Suicide.

Etymology[]
All the bosses in the Wutai Pagoda appear to have a link to theater. Shake is likely a shortened version of Shakespeare, the most famous English playwright. The intention was that each opponent would speak in a different way based on their origin, but this is missed in the English translation.
