Ryuga Chisaka

Ryuga Chisaka is the main protagonist of the *Warped Eternity: Living Destruction's Abyssal Remnants* series, and is a warrior of the Defenders of the Light Corps, alongside Ayumu Ishioka, and Muzuri Kikuchi. He is also a major supporting character in the Warped Eternity: Desert's Falls sequel series. He is a user of Flora Style, Dragon Style, and Fauna Style, with him being primarily a Numen Style user. He is also the older brother of Chiyori Chisaka, and the younger brother of Mitsuko Chisaka. He is one of the most important characters in the Warped Time's Chronicles series and was one of the searchers for the Blood Eternity's Vessels which was connected to the disaster of the Shinrai Town and the continous bloodshed and spread of Shentan. He also became one of the participants of the Kliessarium Game in order to find out more information about Daiki. He also became one of Rei Matsuoka's unlikely allies, and was one of the main rivals of Hotaruko Anchali due to his past as a secret experiment and tortured slave to her father, a warlord and a chief of an unknown town. Unknowingly, he is also one of the human experiments whose experiences are considered parallel mirrors to Akio Akimitsu and Daiki's experiences as a human due to the level of brutality and suffering he endured before escaping from being a slave. He is known to be one of the human experiments who has lived for eight centuries to protect the Shinrai Town, and has disguised as an ordinary son of the Chisaka Family but has trained restlessly and rigorously throughout that warped time.

## Personality

As a civilian of the Shinrai Town, Ryuga had a considerably bubbly, but reckless, insensitive and impulsive attitude, and was noted to be a very cheerful man. He is noted to be very bubbly to others, always being noted by Ayumu as a jovial young man to others. He is also helpful, friendly and encouraging to his fellow warriors who desire to protect humans from the harm outside of the Voids, although he can be insensitive and rude. He is also very easygoing, and relaxed, much to Hizashi and Li Xiangyu's annoyance as they tend to be more strict, orderly, and disciplined. He is known to be relaxed and patient, even being about tolerate Ayumu and Muzuri's odd antics, and even hide his frustration with others. His relaxed and patient attitude is one of the reasons why Kazuo dislikes him due to his aggressive temper. However, his bubbly and laidback demeanor is quickly hidden as a facade, to help others be eased. Despite his patience and nice attitude towards others, Ryuga is seen as an extremely reckless man, who tends to make rather impulsive decisions and can be oblivious to his rudeness due to his insensitivity and boldness. This is also the same case with his words, as he tends to make tactless comments or be very blunt, even in the face of higher class nobles - with him being known as the most straightforward, insensitive, direct, and brutally honest. His tactlessness is such that he speaks so casually to the higher ups, and even insulted a chef, saying that their food was completely devoid of flavor. He also lacks the tendency to realize about his blunt tendencies, which amused Rei Matsuoka often due to how tactless and blunt he was, reminding Rei of himself. This is also due to his oblivious nature, which greatly contrasted to how calculating he was during battles and in dire and important situations. His casual attitude, allows him to talk so casually even to the seventh princess of Durene, **Moriko** Yasahana, despite the fact that she was a royal. His tactlessness is also seen upon his vow to kill Daiki no matter the cost, despite how powerful Daiki was. This also resulted into him insulting the Oiran Kujaku about her behavior, which he considered as utterly disgusting and filthy. Additionally, he often speaks so bluntly, that it would be perceived as harsh and rude, something Mirai Ayano wants him to shut up for. His tactlessness may come off as snarky and insulting, with a laugh, especially when expressing his annoyance through sarcasm and easygoing, as well as a relaxed nature. He doesn't really express much about how he feels clearly due to this nature and his view on the importance of upholding even unrealistic expectations of strength and becoming a warrior who should never show vulnerability.

He is often inconsiderate of other's feelings, due to his boldness, fierceness, and reckless nature. He also tends to be embarrassed at affection, and would often try to shrug it off, such as the case with Mirai's affection towards him. He also has very uncomfortable cases with affection, and wasn't capable of expressing it in the most proper manner. He also tends to be very unelegant, and fairly lacking in manners, due to him not being taught well enough by his parents. This impulsive, and reckless behavior also causes him to have odd eccentric habits, such as licking his lips when he became bored, or look up and show an irritated face when he was annoyed. Upon showing his dislike, he tends to roll his head, and lick his lips multiple times. This recklessness, unelegant and eccentric behavior allowed him to not care about what others thought about him, being completely unafraid of negative opinions about him by the higher-ups nd the lack of discipline he has. This is also because he acts like completely unafraid of how he was perceived, now he was no longer under the severe oppressions of the cults. This is also noted to be connected to his extreme amount of boldness, and fearlessness as a person. Although he is rather eccentric, and reckless, he cares immensely for his country, Durene, and is willing to go to any lengths to protect it. This was seen upon his decision to join the Defenders of the Light Corps, despite his mother's protests. He also cares immensely for his two sisters, Chiyori and Mitsuko, as he was deeply enraged by Sasaki Akiyama severely injuring and hurting them, to the point where they were near death. He also has no tolerance towards those who abuse their power, or strike fear upon those weaker than them, being enraged at Adonnes De Hanabi for doing so to the point of cutting her down without a second thought.

Due to this, he boldly swore that he will kill Sasaki no matter the cost, and is willing to avenge the lives of humans taken by Sasaki, even if it costed him his own life. Not only does he care for his country and sisters, but he also happens to care for his comrades, friends, and family, and is willing to do anything to protect them. He is also encouraging towards them, such as convincing Ayumu Ishioka to try his best, and that he will never be worthless or useless, and convincing Muzuri that he doesn't have to be so perfect. He is affectionate towards others, most notably Ayumu Ishioka, who he appears to begin a very strong bond with. He is also very compassionate and kind towards his comrades, openly expressing his kindness to them, and he even stated that he has no worth if he can't protect them. Additionally, he is noted to be very unshakable, and unwilling to back out in a fight, and has a hard time admitting or accepting defeat in addition to his egoistic nature.

He also tends to openly use vulgar or crude language in front of others, when he expresses irritation and rage, as such was the case with him expressing his disgust at the Tatralian leader for the leader's inhumane laws. He is also very self-confident as he is often proud of his skills, all which seems to irritate Ayumu often, who tries to tolerate his reckless and impulsive antics. Due to his caring demeanor, he is very headstrong and strong willed, making him motivated to make impulsive and reckless decisions when not in battle.

He is also noted to be very overconfident, which happens to irritate Ayumu Ishioka often. Because of his strong-willed nature and overconfidence, Ryuga tends to be very bold and fearless. Due to this overconfident and egoistical nature, he had a hard time in training, and according to Tsuma, he was such a headache to train, because of his lack of humility and cockiness. His overconfidence causes him to have a hard time learning things. It is also due to his nature that at times, he tends to be extremely fierce. His egoistical nature causes him to try to convince himself that he's not in the wrong, and often lash out on others who try to disagree with him, although when he realizes it, he will immediately apologize. Due to his boldness, he tends to be immensely aggressive and rageful towards those who hurt those he cares about. It also causes him to be violently protective of his loved ones, comrades, and friends. It is also due to his strong will that he is also unwilling to follow other's commands or orders and does things his own way, and expresses disdain in having to follow the rules. Although he will still try to be cooperative with others, Ryuga tends to make stubborn decisions which are not according to the plan sometimes. Despite his impulsive and stubborn demeanor, he is logical in battles and when faced with extremely serious problems, and will plan the next move carefully in his mind.

His impulsiveness and recklessness is not to be confused with stupidity and idiocy, as he is careful in planning the next moves to succeed. It was noted by Shiraishi Ume and Himeko Kuratoge that he is also tactical, and creative, as seen by his understanding of Numen Energy, and all the supernatural sources of abilities, and it's weaknesses. He is also able to create unique and powerful techniques, and devise plans, due to his planning, although sometimes, he tends to make rash and idiotic decisions. He is also calculating and guarded inside, questioning other's motives, and often does not reveal so much about himself.

Despite his act of being overconfident, he, in reality, has lost a lot of faith in his own abilities, due to his mistakes. As he does not want others to bother or worry about him, he tends to act extremely overconfident. He does get flustered when his abilities and talents are brought up, although he tries to hide this, by a facade of acting obnoxious, and excessively proud and vain when complimented. He also wants others to be eased, and hides his pain or true emotions through his bubbly, optimistic and happy attitude. This is due to his unwillingness to open up to others.

As stated, he is unwilling to open up to others, and does not want to make others worry about him. This is the primary reason why he tends to always act happy, laidback, good-natured, lively, blunt, eccentric, loud, friendly and bubbly around others. This also is a facade to express he doesnt care about other's opinions and expectations although said things are fake. His unwillingness to open up to others may also be due to his distrust and cynicism, due to witnessing the massacre of his town, and the deaths of his family to a seemingly ordinary civilian, who was, in truth, one of the most powerful gods, Daiki. His cynicism and unwillingness to trust was proven with his distrust with Shiraishi Ume, Adeline Lavigne, and even Ayumu Ishioka. His issues with trusting and cynicism still continued, although he became more open.

He is also excessively calculating of others, due to his cynical and distrusting nature and he does express his distrust too bluntly as seen by his first interaction with Kazuo. His unwillingness to open up, and cynicism is also to help people to not take advantage of him, or manipulate him. Because of his desire to make people not worry about him, he still wants to maintain his personality, in order to ease others, most specifically his sisters and the remaining survivors. He also maintains this nature in order for him to cling on to the advice that his parents gave him, as well as make others feel better. His cynicism and trust issues also caused him to develop a distrustful nature, because of the massacre of the Shinrai Town. This is also due to his tortured past as a slave, and how he was treated too horribly by the chief and warlords. This also became the reason why he wanted freedom and was often reckless and blunt.

He is also noted to be very proud of himself, for saving lives, and is determined to keep doing so. Due to his determination, he tends to be overachieving, and will push himself against his bodily limits, something that Tsuma and Rokihiko yelled at him to stop doing so. This overachieving behavior also causes him to be afraid of failing others, or failing in general, as he believes he dishonored them. He is noted to be determined to be stronger, due to his remorse and regrets for being unable to save others in his own town due to being weak. He also never gives up upon having a goal in his mind, as evident upon him never abandoning his goals. However, as the series progresses, Ryuga begins to understand that not all of his goals can be fulfilled, such as his goal of wanting to create eternal peace and prosperity, which he then abandoned. Nevertheless, he still continued following his goals. Despite his pride in saving lives, it often causes him to do dishonorable actions, such as doing psychological manipulation, mind manipulation, hallucination, hynopsis, deception, trickery, and manipulation in order to save innocent lives - something Chiyori goes against for and views as selfish. His dishonorable actions have noble intentions but it often makes others such as Minjun Hua question if such dirty tactics are really necessary. This is also noted to be one of the effects of Tsumi, moral confusion and leading to harm others more in the process and deceiving them to believe it's for the greater good.

Due to the fact that he acts overconfident, cocky and smug, he does not want to open up about his weaknesses. He also appears to be critical and disgusted upon those who have joined the Defenders of the Light for selfish purposes, such as Hanae's decision to join, because of money, which he believes as utterly selfish or those who are too incompetent or Aoyura's desire for money and fame. This is actually very bluntly seen, as he often judges them straightforwardly. He is extremely active in fulfilling his tasks and missions, and upon fulfilling his missions, he is usually very straightforward and serious about doing so, willing to get the job done correctly and as fast as he can. He also reprimands those who do not have the same determination as him, and is often quick to criticize them as he believes indomitable determination is something needed to maximize one's potential. Upon extremely sensitive topics, and severe insults, he tends to be angered, to the point of lashing out on others in a cocky and passive-aggressive side, despite who it is. This is due to his very low frustration and the hot temperament he hides underneath his calm and cheerful demeanour.

While he is overconfident, bold and impulsive, Ryuga, deep down, expresses worry about making dangerous decisions and actions which may cause him his life, and listens to the concern of his friends, such as Ayumu's reasoning. He is also empathetic towards innocents, but apathetic towards those who display no remorse or cruelty. Against his enemies, Ryuga remains an apathetic, uncaring, disgusted and unenthusiasthic demeanor. He is also unforgiving, and merciless towards them, cutting them down without too much thought. He is also critical about those who are merciful towards their enemies, not being able to understand them. Although he knows his merciless and unforgiving attitude, he cuts them down without too much pain, but this is not due to mercy. His unforgiving manner is also even seen with others, who are not his enemies, although he isn't unforgiving for petty reasons.

Ryuga greatly respects women, and was enraged to see the Ume Clan, and the Yasahana Family's abuse and sexism towards girls, and their views of viewing them as a failure. He also respects children, and is never willing to sacrifice them no matter what. He also will never want to sacrifice innocent lives. Additionally, Ryuga's determination makes him dedicated to fulfilling his missions, and so, he doesn't even get anxious upon doing impulsive tasks. This was evident upon him working as hard to fulfill his vow to protect those he cares about, and to protect as many lives as he can. He is also very diligent and hardworking due to this. He also happens to possess an indomitable spirit, as he was capable of focusing solely on his goals, and was also capable of resistance against dishonorable options, and doing his best to defeat his enemies and finally create a more peaceful world. He also happens to value greatness, as it is a trait passed to the Durenians, and would heavily dislike himself burdening others, to the point where he could rather die if he burdened others. In the series, it was shown that he had a spiritual understanding of Numen Energy, and can understand it's interconnection together, something which Tsuma believed to be "incredible" as although he was a headache to train, this could probably cause him to have a high advantage. Additionally, he can remain focused upon his mission, and will not back out on a mission, even with risks. He also strives to make himself better and more useful for others, while maintaining his lively demeanor.

Ryuga possesses an immense desire to avenge his town, and his parents who have been murdered by the hands of Daiki, with this desire fueling his rage towards Daiki and showing no mercy to him. He also boldly promised that he will kill Daiki, even if he died at the process of doing so. However, he also desires to protect people, and avoid many lives from being taken, and as much as he would commit dishonorable acts, he would not sacrifice any life. He realizes that many humans are negative, and those selfish humans who have committed harmful crimes, should not be spared or forgiven at all, and he does not go to any lengths to protect them. He even goes as far to call these people as "monsters". He also desires to lessen the wars, which cotninue to arise in Cruor, and is greatly concerned about the racism which occurs in the Cruor, and how other countries and races are against each other. He also desires to have freedom, and has a keen interest in knowing things, while still focusing on his original goals, and keeping his determination on fulfilling his goals. While he understands the negativity in the world, and does not ignore it, he still wants to make things better for everyone, although accepting that bad things happen at times. He also wants to be appreciated, and as such, when he does not feel appreciated enough, he tends to have violent outbursts, while keeping a smile on his face. This was proven upon kicking and holding a knife upon being ignored by Ayumu Ishioka, presumably to cut Ayumu's skin. This also led to Muzuri calling him extremely weird. Ryuga also has a fear of being forgotten, or being unimportant to others, doing anything he can to not be forgotten. He also fears losing others, as he already was forced to watch the fall of his town.

This fear of losing his loved ones due to his tortured past led to him having hysteria upon seeing Shiraishi, Tsuma, and eventually Himeko's death, and being enraged at Daiki for doing so to the point of being too blunt about it. He also expresses great horror upon the lives taken by the Warped Domain's Lords and became more vengeful towards them as a result. Because of his mistakes, and the people he has lost, he believes he does not deserve happiness, due to his empathy. He also hides his pain, and how he suffered from losses, through his bubbly demeanor, wanting others to be eased. He also does not want others to be worried about him, and tries to laugh off his pain and irritation. Ryuga possesses immense hatred, and disgust, directed towards the servants of the Demigods, evident upon his combat techniques, and his way of inflicting harm towards them. According to Ayumu, he is disturbing, as he is sadistic towards the servants of the gods, and enjoys inflicting them pain, even keeping a smile and mocking them, to the point of being rather sadistic about it. He also tends to laugh excessively, and in a state of bloodlust, he turns into a complete psychopath. This was also seen upon his constant smiles upon Chouka's suffering, and his disturbing demeanor towards the creations of the gods of the Warped Domain's Lords.

However, he will continue with his job as a warrior when said things are unneccessary but he tends to inflict as many pain to them, as possible and is completely apathetic towards them. This part is disturbing to Ayumu, and is often why Ayumu is scared of him, with another factor being his violent outbursts. He also continues to verbally mock his enemies, upon their defeat, but if enraged enough, he is quiet towards enemies, as seen with his attacks towards Daiki. He also cuts down the Dolls, and the Akame without any second thoughts, and is willing to do anything to achieve his goals of protecting people, and avenging the people murdered by Daiki's hands. This was proven that even with the fact that he saw a good Akame, he still was disdainful towards him.

Ryuga is also shown to be rather cunning, and harsh as evident by his extreme usage of brutal and harsh tactics, often resorting to psychological warfare to win. He uses too brutal and harsh language towards his enemies, speaking very ill of them infront of their face and expressing the satisfication on using psychological warfare. He is willing to go to extreme measures to defeat his enemies, and is driven by a twisted sense of justice which he believes is worth it for creating a more peaceful world. He appears to have a darker view of humanity, viewing criminals, slave owners, and warlords who want power and dominance over Durene and the Rosendalle Empire as unworthy of living and that only innocents were worthy to be saved, highlighting further his unforgiving and cruel nature. This was seen when he did not care to save the Tatralian King and several nobles when Sasaki Akiyama and Luka Odayaka, especially Daiki attacked and instead, focused more on defeating them. To achieve a twisted sense of justice, Ryuga is willing to manipulate and deceive others to achieve his goals or the greater good, and is fairly lacking in emotional consideration while hiding it using his demeanor. His lack of emotional consideration was evidenced when he couldn't truly comprehend why Soo-Hyun would save Joon-Woo when it was near impossible that Joon-Woo would still retain his memories.

Upon witnessing Himeko Kuratoge's death, as well as the deaths of many of his comrades, Ryuga becomes slightly more solemn, apathetic, and cruel with this being the reason this hatred grew. However, he still tries to remain his attitude, to not worry others. It is noted that he has become more critical, and strict upon his comrades upon slacking on their job, as seen with his blatant disrespect to Mai, due to seeing her slacking on her duties. He also begins to admonish those he doesn't see fit to become a warrior of the Defenders of the Light Corp. He is also much more organized, and is less reckless and loud than he was before, becoming more aloof, and reserved.

Ryuga also seems disgusted, at incompetent warriors, although he tries to hide it from others. He also became less enthusiastic, lively, reckless, and loud than he was before, greatly concerning both Muzuri and Ayumu. Upon Ayumu's great concern, he expressed that he felt rage and anger most of the time, although trying to hide it. He also expressed his concerns upon seeing Ayumu's near to death situation, and openly expressed affection towards both Muzuri and Ayumu, although he is more fond of Ayumu due to Ayumu being more tolerant with his antics, and Ayumu's more compassionate side. His more compassionate and optimistic side was replaced with a more solemn and less happy side, which he desperately tried to hide. He also gets frustrated when people don't show the same dedication towards fighting Daiki like he is, berating others for slacking upon their training and bluntly speaking to them. He is also quick to call out behavior, and doesn't use any form of honorifics, something that Rokihiko, Mirai, Ayumu, Muzuri and Himeko dislike about him. He also believes that a true warrior should always commit to their duty and never bow to any pressure, and should succeed. He also criticizes those who have joined for selfish decisions or reasons.

He remains extremely focused, and concentrated, and is noted to be more calculating and cold, while remaining some aspects of his bubbly demeanor. He is more than willing to complete all his tasks, and what is needed for him to be appreciated. He also thinks incredibly about his comrades, and will put his life on the line to do so, a trait which was never removed from him. At the death of Daiki, he eventually comforted others, but realized it was not yet over, and felt glad upon the fact that while he was not able to end the remaining clans, he was able to bring the world to more peace. He also remains his hardworking, and diligent attitude, but presumably becomes more straightforward and serious as well as critical, active, and sharp-tongued. He is also quick to call out other's behavior, and is often loud in speech, being very unafraid to say such things, even with any rank. Ryuga is also very curious, and passionate about his job as a member of the Defenders of the Light, taking it very seriously, and criticizes others for not doing the same, albeit he still is desperate to maintain a fake smile.

In the Sanje Realm's Entrance Arc, his strength honed to it's peak - a combination of his immense talent, strength, years of experience, training, and precision. This allowed him to increase the damage caused to Daiki with his strength alone, although it took many blows to fatally cause the largest and strongest wounds. He possesses three hundred and thirty three times the muscle mass of five sumo wrestlers, allowing him to perform tremendous amounts of ripping attacks alongside a variety of crushing strikes without fatigue.

**Immense Speed:** Because of his extreme tremendous speed training, Ryuga possesses tremendous amounts of speed, as evident when he moved so swiftly and even speedblitzed too many of his opponents in the Sanje Realm's Entrance Arc and was almost close to Akio Akimitsu's immense speed in attacking.

## Trivia

When meeting him, Amihan Perez initially was surprised and anxious by his lack of discipline and recklessness, thus trying to be one of his mentors to educate him. Amihan did stress the importance of flexibility and agility, but saw that due to Ryuga's immense potential,

He is just like Daiki but a mirror, two sides of the same coin.

Ryuga is actually noted as a foil to Kenzu Fuyuki.
