Blion
CharacterBlion is the guitar player in the Animal Band, the backing group tied to the singer Uta. A lion gifted with human intelligence within the Uta World, he debuted in One Piece Film: Red and is widely read as a nod to Brian May of Queen.
Appearance
Yellow fur and a red mane, sculpted into arched ridges that rise into a pompadour at the crown, give Blion his rocker silhouette. Arched patterns and Uta's name in block capitals are tattooed across his right arm and neck. He dresses in a tank top of black, white, and purple over black leather pants, finishing the look with shades, a silver belt, and bracelets ringing each wrist.
Personality
The source gives little on his temperament beyond his place in the band as its guitarist within Uta's world.
Abilities
Blion's known talent is his guitar playing. He took part in Uta's performance staged on Elegia. Because he never surfaced beside the other band members in the real world, it is suspected that he was conjured outright by the Uta Uta no Mi rather than being an ordinary animal transformed by it.
