==Biography==
Tatsumi is the leader of the battlers of darkness who plan to revive the Evil God-King, and the strongest of them all. He was actually a descendent of one of the heroes who had sealed away the Evil God-King. After the sealing of the Evil God-King, the Twelve God-Kings had scattered and the household of the heroes had started to dissipate, except for the Etoshinmori clan.
Frustrated by the fact that the Etoshinmori clan did nothing but watch the world, Tatsumi started to travel around the world trying to look for The DragonTwelveGodKing, which had once belonged to his household. Unable to find anything, Tatsumi traveled to where the Evil God-King was sealed. There, Shishi appeared in front of him, and gave him The DragonTwelveGodKing Ourovorius, and claimed that she was sent by the heavens to serve him.
Shishi explained that Tatsumi's purpose was to reawaken the Evil God-King, which would cause the 12 God-Kings to regather. This time, however, it will be up to Tatsumi to control it, as he was the Dragon Child of a certain prophecy.
He was first seen invading Mei Merryhadda's village, easily defeating one of their battlers.
Later, he catches up to the escaping Mei, planning to take The SheepTwelveGodKing Glorious-Sheep, the Twelve God-King Mei was supposed to protect. They battled over the God-King, with Tatsumi easily winning. Afterwards, he takes Glorious-Sheep, much to Mei's distraught.
Seeing the battlers of darkness's losing streak, Tatsumi decided that he would use Glorious-Sheep to take The Horse and Rooster Twelve God-Kings, the ones used by the heroes chosen by Eto Etoshinmori the 8th. He ordered General Inui to deliver Glorious-Sheep to Kengou, where they would cooperate to lure and steal the chosen heroes' Twelve God-Kings. However, Kengou lost, so the SheepTwelveGodKing was lost to the heroes.
Later, the heroes came to Tatsumi's castle to try to take back the RoosterTwelveGodKIng, which had been taken by Inui. When Kiki Beresia, a fellow hero's descendent, was unable to stop them, Inui offered to battle, but Tatsumi wanted to battle them himself.
Tatsumi gets into an argument with Eto, and reveals his reasons for reviving the Evil God-King and his hatred for the "false" heroes that Eto summoned from the other worlds. Eto objects, leading to a battle between Tatsumi and one of the heroes, Shunta Mogami. Tatsumi won easily, and took Shunta's 12 God-King.
When Tatsumi was debating who to give Exeseed to, Shishi suggests to give it to Kazuya Taiga, Shunta's rival from his world. Shish explains that Kazuya's hatred for Shunta would put him into a deeper state of despair. Tatsumi summons Kengou to test Kazuya's strength, and agreed after Kazuya won.
Sometime after, Ron Gai arrived to challenge him to a battle, having previously defeated Kabuto. It is likely that Tatsumi won.
Later, he was challenged by Kazuya, who intended to prove his strength. Wanting to witness his rage, he accepted the battle and easily won.
After he lost, Kazuya obtained an Ultimate, The Hellflame FourDemonLord Bram-Zand. When he returned with Shishi, Tatsumi was shocked by the Ultimate, but was also impressed. Inui battled Kazuya, but his God-King's effect wasn't able to affect any of Kazuya's Ultimates, which led to him losing. Tatsumi is impressed by the Ultimates' ability to evade effects that target spirits, but was also a bit frightened of Shishi's idea of using Ultimates to revive the Evil God-King.
Tatsumi was ready to use the power of Ultimates to gather the rest of the 12 God-Kings. Both Kiki and Inui were opposed to this, but Tatsumi was willing to sacrifice the Soul Core if it meant saving the Spirits World. Because Tatsumi was willing to use this power, Io, a white hero with The OxTwelveGodKing Avalanche-Bison, was called to the Spirits World. According to the prophecy, Io would be called to the world to act as a white shield for Tatsumi after he starts wielding the forbidden blade. Tatsumi allowed Kiki to test Io's strength, and Io was able to win.
Later, Tatsumi and Shishi confronted the heroes again, planning to take their God-Kings. He calls the Battle Spirits from the other worlds a fake, angering Yoku Albatrosa. This leads to a battle between them. Tatsumi brings out Ourovorius quickly, but eventually falls to Yoku's Double Drive effect. The battle leaves him unconscious for sometime.
While it's recovering, Yoroi thinks about regaining Ourovorius while Shishi search the God-King card of the snake for him to strengthen his deck. After he wakes up and the two were able to give him the two purple twelve-God-Kings. He then battles Yoku again for the remaining God-King cards that him and his group have and, thanks to The SnakeTwelveGodKing Tiamadau he was able to win this time. After obtaining all the Twelve GodKings he tries to take control of the Evil GodKing but Shishi explains that she only deceiving him as she's part of the Evil GodKing
He watched in horror as the God-Kings turned to stone, and he ended up falling due to the quake.
Later he is still alive and he decided to follow Shishi and then challenged her to a special battle Which him having unlimited cores and her having the yellow and purple God-Kings, having four soul core as lives and her spirits refreshed every end of her turn. As he's about to lose Kiki and Inui come to rescue him and with their help and the will of the spirits world in The BlackNinthDragon Obsidian-Dragon they're able to win.
After the trio reunites with Shunta, Yoku and the priestess Eto he's shown to handle a hit for her stating that if his world will be destroyed will be his fault and he can't forgive himself. Then he summoned and give Ourovorius and Timadau to Shunta and Yoku to help them in the final battle.
