Tidus

==Summary==
The protagonist of Final Fantasy X, Tidus was about to play a match of blitzball match in the Jecht Memorial Cup when Sin attacked, resulting in the destruction of Zanarkland. He wakes up in the Baaj Temple in the world of Spira, upon which he is informed by a girl named Rikku that Zanarkland was destroyed a thousand years ago. Confused and out of place, he meets Yuna, a fledgling summoner about to begin her pilgrimage to defeat Sin as many had done before her and believes his story due to meeting Jecht when she was younger. Hoping to find a way home, Tidus joins Yuna on her quest and becomes the keystone of a much greater scheme as the story progresses.

|-|Dissidia=
</tabber>
Attack Potency: Multi-Solar System level (Capable of hurting Sin with his attacks, who is unaffected by the Gravitational Forces created as an effect of his Giga Graviton move. Furthermore, is considered by Lulu to have proven himself as a Guardian, maybe even as the best, after the final battle with Overdrive Sin, Implying his efforts and the efforts of at least one more Guardian were significant towards defeating Sin) | Multi-Solar System level (Can stalemate Wol, grew more powerful during his time in Palamecia Mobius Final Fantasy) | Multiverse level+ (Is comparable to the other Warriors of Materia and draws power from the gods of the cycle. Participated in the defeat of Shinryu)
Speed: FTL+ (Capable of fighting Braska's Final Aeon) | Massively FTL+ (Can keep up with the other Warriors of Materia)
Lifting Strength: Class E (Able to endure the high gravity exerted by Sin's Giga Graviton from several kilometers away) | Immeasurable (Is superior to Neo Exdeath and Enuo)
Striking Strength: Multi-Solar System level (Capable of harming Sin and the Final Aeon whose role is to defeat Sin)| Multi-Solar System level (Capable of One Shotting Wol's Yojimbo in a single slash) | Multiverse level+
Durability: Multi-Solar System level (Can withstand the gravitational force exerted by Sin's Giga Graviton, however a direct impact would instantly kill him. Additionally, Tidus, regarded as one of the best Guardians ever, should be no less durable than Rikku, a Guardian of lesser note able to survive multiple Meteor spells and an Ultima from Trema, a character stronger than a Final Aeon-level Fiend, Paragon/Lord Zaon) | Multi-Solar System level | Multiverse level+
Stamina: Superhuman
Range: Extended Melee Range with Brotherhood/Caladbolg, several dozen meters with magic and Blitzball techniques
Standard Equipment:
▪ Longsword: Tidus' initial weapon, given to him by Auron in the Dream Zanarkand as a gift from Jecht. A simple sword that he uses to fight off enemies
▪ Brotherhood: A sword gifted to Tidus by Wakka, originally meant for his brother Chappu. It comes with both the Waterstrike and Sensor abilities, adding water elemental damage to its attacks and analyzing an enemy's strength, in addition to significantly boosting Tidus' attack power.
▪ Caladbolg: Tidus' Celestial Weapon, obtained in the Calm Lands after escaping from Bevelle. It naturally ignores enemy defense, harming them regardless of attempts to increase their durability, and makes Tidus instinctively evade and counter attacks.
▪ Blitzball: A spherically-studded ball used in the Blitzball sport across Spira. Tidus primarily uses it for ranged attacks, hitting enemies from several dozen meters away.
Intelligence: Tidus is a master swordsman and shield wielder at the end of the game, comparable to legendary warriors and Guardians like his father Jecht and Auron. While he lags behind them in blocking attacks and in the use of brute force, he is far more agile and acrobatic, specializing in dodging attacks before dishing out lethal counterattacks in return with a variety of swift maneuvers. He also triumphed over Spira's strongest, most notably, he managed to defeat Yu Yevon and Sin once and for all, a feat thought impossible up to that point.

Contrary to popular belief, the party members are not limited to their sections of the Sphere Grid and are capable of branching into the sections of other characters. Key Spheres, which are strictly used for this purpose, are canonically given out at certain points in the story, and character-exclusive abilities like Lulu's Black Magic and Kimahri's Lancet are discussed as if they are common abilities and not completely restricted to the characters in question.
