Crowned the King of Giants and styled the Monarch of the Beginning, Legia served as the hidden boss tucked behind the Tokyo S-Rank Gate. Seized long ago by the Rulers, he was eventually slain by Sung Jinwoo.
Roughly twice the bulk of an ordinary adult, Legia carried a heavily muscled body washed in bluish-gray skin. Long, unkempt black hair spilled around a scraggly beard, and his eyes glowed a fierce red. He wore almost nothing, just a single long loincloth of tattered white cloth.
A peculiar sense of humor marked Legia, who burst into deranged laughter the moment he realized a fellow Monarch had finally tracked him down. He was cunning to match, very nearly fooling Jinwoo into freeing him from his prison.
After the Absolute Being was cast out and killed, the Rulers captured Legia and held him fast with mana-absorbing chains. Eons on, planning to saturate the human world with mana before their rematch against the Monarchs, the Rulers buried a single essence stone within his neck from behind, which woke in him a bloodlust aimed at humanity. They later handed him an exit, opening a Tokyo S-Rank Gate through which Jinwoo arrived to face him. Overjoyed at the chance for freedom, Legia pledged to stand with Jinwoo in the war ahead and tied them together with a spell that barred either from lying, adding that he could never be turned into a shadow soldier because he was a spiritual organism with no flesh-and-blood form. Jinwoo, far warier than expected, found the stone planted at the base of his neck. Exposed, Legia struck out, but Jinwoo slipped every attack and took his head off with one blow, scattering his body into shards of light and clearing the gate. Among the nine Monarchs and as King of Giants, he commanded immense physical strength, the lie-forbidding Pledge of Trust, the power to create gates, and Spiritual Body Manifestation.

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....

Five Bleach female characters, ranked and settled. Yoruichi sits at number five, the spot nobody expects, and our number one is an Arrancar with a soft heart....
