Yasutora Sado

Of mixed Mexican and Japanese heritage, Sado is a strikingly tall, heavily muscled teenager whose size and features make him look far older than he is. His skin is dark, his cheekbones stand out, and waves of brown hair usually fall across his brown eyes. Inked on his left shoulder is a heart wrapped in a snake and angel wings above the words Amore e Morte. He favors his school uniform or bold open-collared shirts, and grows a small goatee in the months following Aizen's defeat.

Reserved and gentle, Sado rarely fights back when picked on, yet his friends treat him as an equal and he keeps a well-hidden fondness for cute things, from small animals to Kon's plushie body. He is sharper than his silence suggests, placing eleventh in a class of over three hundred, and his loyalty runs deep, above all toward Ichigo, for whom he would take on a captain.

Fearless and largely unreadable, he shows real feeling only when someone he cares for is in danger. Raised in Mexico by the man he calls Abuelo, Oscar Joaquin de la Rosa, he carries an old coin and a vow never to raise his fists except in another's defense, a promise he holds dearer than his own life. He has a taste for tomatoes and music, and a weakness for the show Carnivore Kingdom.

Even before his powers surfaced, Sado possessed startling raw strength, hoisting fallen steel beams and swinging telephone poles like bats, and his body proved unnaturally tough, shrugging off collisions that would hospitalize anyone else. Repeated brushes with Ichigo's spiritual side gradually let him sense and then see spirits, and his own spiritual energy runs high enough to overwhelm weak Shinigami and topple a Privaron Espada.

His true gift is a Fullbring, mistaken at first for latent Shinigami power and later traced to the Hogyoku answering his wish for strength. His right limb, Brazo Derecha de Gigante, armors over in black and magenta as a balanced weapon that both guards and strikes, firing a projectile blast called El Directo. In Hueco Mundo he awakened the left, Brazo Izquierda del Diablo, a white, red-striped arm devoted purely to offense whose crushing punch delivers La Muerte. Years later he channels the same power into a professional boxing career, reaching a world heavyweight title bout.
