**Raiden Tameemon** (雷(らい)電(でん) 爲右エ門(ためえもん), *Raiden Tameemon*?) is a main character in the fan-made series **Universal Warriors**.

Raiden Tameemon, birth name **Tarōkichi Seki**, was Humanity's representative in the fifth round of **Ragnarok**, going up against **Shiva**.

Raiden Tameemon, also known as the "Peerless Rikishi" (無(む)類(るい)力(りき)士(し), *Murui Rikishi*?) has the strongest muscles in the history of mankind and was a famous Japanese sumo wrestler; considered to be the best of all time.

## Personality

Göll described Raiden as the "*incarnation of desire*", being shown as a perverted and lustful man when around beautiful women. Despite this, he claims that he's always completely serious about any statement he makes.

In the beginning of his fight against Shiva, Raiden appears to take the battle very seriously, disregarding almost all the statements the god made that fighting was fun. He later questions how people could possibly consider fighting a sport for enjoyment, signifying that his motivations differ vastly from that of Shiva's. Raiden's motivation for participating in Ragnarok was to free humanity's will from the control of the gods.

Growing up as child, Raiden was viewed a monster by many other kids and became depressed, his mother would encourage him to use his strength for the good of the weak and always hugged him with love. From that day, Raiden took his mother's words to heart and used his strength to help the villagers around him. When the "Great Tenmei Famine" began, Raiden became saddened by the death and suffering occuring all over his village and so decided to become a sumo wrestler to raise money for his hometown.

At first, Raiden was afraid of accidently harming his opponent during his sparring matches, but Tanikaze Kajinosuke challenged Taroukichi to spar with him and pushes him to do his best. Raiden dedicate his whole life to sumo and to always perform at his best, but eventually his opponents starting viewing him the same way as the children from back home would and so Raiden decided to seal away his most powerful moves. However, as the days came and passed by, he slowly became jaded with sumo as there was no one who could withstand his full strength. Even so, he still won all of his matches for his hometown.

When Shiva dealt him a heavy injury, Raiden started to enjoy the fight which gave him the opportunity to do sumo to his heart's content. When his strongest attack was destroyed by Shiva, Raiden stood his ground against him and thanked Shiva for granting him the opportunity to do sumo like he use to, showing no signs of fear in the face of death and only regretted never giving it his all in many of his previous matches.

When Þrúðr became his volund, he started to develop romantic feelings for her and even asked her to leave in his last moments as he didn't want her to end up dying alongside him, but Þrúðr refused and told him of a promise she made to herself that once she fell in love with a man she'd stay by his side for the rest of her life which deeply moved Raiden, holding Þrúðr's hand and thanking her for everything.

## Character Design

Unlike his historical appearance, Raiden Tameemon is a physically imposing man, as he is seen towering above Brunhilde and Göll, even when sitting down. His hands are so big they easily cover up hand plates of other sumo wrestlers. Raiden's hair is dark brown with white highlights strung throughout it. It is tied into a ponytail. His eyebrows are sharp and distinguished.

When introduced, he is naked, but prior to the fifth match, he receives his Volund. The Volund seems to adorn him in a set of tattoos, with black arm and leg bands that go around his wrist, biceps, ankles, and kneecaps, the ones around his kneecaps being blue, and a large blue sumo belt around his waist.

## Abilities and Equipment

Even from an early age, Raiden had an extraordinary strength that had to be suppressed in order for him to survive, but even with his limited strength he managed to ingrain his name into history as the greatest sumo wrestler to ever live. He also is said to have the strongest muscles in all of human history.

### Powers and Abilities

#### Technique

* **Dropkick**: Raiden quickly charges at his opponent and jumps in the air while delivering a powerful kick onto their face with the soles of both of his feet.

* **Lariat**: Raiden lunges at his opponent with an outstretched arm and briefly launching them spinning into the air before landing face-first onto the ground.

* **Jizo's Embrace**: Raiden grabs his opponent's head and smashes his own into theirs with all his strength, leaving them completely stunned for good awhile.

* **Wild Boar**: Raiden grabs a limb from his opponent and concentrates all of his might into his arms, crushing the gripped area.

* **Shishimai**: Raiden launches his feet in the air with his hands supported on the ground while delivering a powerful kick with the soles of both of his feet.

* **Miyama**: Raiden puts up a wall of flesh by focusing his muscles into both of his arms as a way of defending himself.

* **Yatagarasu**: The strongest form of Teppou, which is one of Raiden's forbidden moves. The most fundamental and essential in Sumo, Raiden takes a stance by focusing the power of his muscles into his legs and then channeling said power into his hand, the flow of energy culminating in a palm strike with such force that it managed to blow away two of Shiva's arms (despite him being in a defensive posture) and releasing a shockwave that removed all sound from Valhalla Arena.

#### Skills

* **Godly Strength**: He managed to stun Shiva with just two consecutive blows to the head, causing the Hindu deity of destruction to spit up blood. After removing the 100 seals, his latent force was released, allowing him to fight Shiva at full capacity. Without the 100 seals holding him back, Raiden's blows manage to seriously injure Shiva (even though the latter was blocking all of his attacks with his four arms), throwing him backwards with the sheer force of his blows and dazing him for a long time by hitting him in the gourd, Raiden also managed to crush one of Shiva's arms by concentrating his latent power into his grip.

* **Godly Speed & Reflexes**: Raiden gave the first blow of the fight by kicking Shiva in the face and, after blocking his first punch, quickly countered with that of his own before Shiva could react. After releasing his latent strength, the force of Raiden's jump enabled him to reach Shiva in an instant and overwhelm him with a sequence of strikes that hurled the god backwards before finishing with a powerful blow to the head before that he could not block. Then, after taking barrage of Shiva's punches, Raiden quickly recovered from the blows and grabbed one of Shiva's arms before he even noticed, crushing it. He can also become even faster through the utilization of the muscle manipulation ability granted to him by his volund.

* **Immense Durability**: Raiden withstood two extremely powerful punches from Shiva that hurled him upwards with little to no apparent damage. He also endured a volley of punches from Shiva with all four of his arms, suffering little damage and even managed to recover quickly afterwards by grabbing onto one of the god's other arms.

* **Immense Endurance**: Raiden continued to fight against Shiva, even through the pain of his uncontrollable muscles and the god of destruction's relentless attacks which caused him severe injuries. Even when Shiva burned his flesh, he continued fighting on.

### Equipment

* **100 Seals**: A set of muscles that would seal the strength of his others. Raiden created the seal in order to prevent his muscles from crushing his own bones. After creating the hundred seals, Raiden barely managed to regain equilibrium within his own skeleton. With the help of Þrúðr the seals were broken, allowing Raiden to fight at full strength.

* **Mawashi of Flesh and Bone:** A divine weapon in the form of a Mawashi provided by the "Volund" of the Valkyrie Þrúðr. It gives Raiden the ability to use all of his strength, unhindered by his rare medical condition, as well as gaining full control of over his muscles, allowing him to even shift their mass freely throughout his body. By shifting his muscle mass throughout his body, Raiden can incrasse the endurance or destructive power of specific parts of his body such as his forearms, legs or even his neck.

## Story

### Original

In the month of January 1767, Taroukichi Seki was born with an abnormal condition called Extramuscular Bone Tightening. When he was 2 years and 8 months old, Taroukichi wasn't able to stand on his own two legs much to the worry of his parents. However, soon after his parents starting worrying for him, Taroukichi walked on his own for the first time in his life as his parents bear witness. When his mother was about to congratulate Taroukichi, his body's muscles tightened, breaking every bone in his body. Due to his abnormal condition, Taroukichi's muscles continued to grow out of control whenever Taroukichi made a step on his own. Despite his condition, Taroukichi refused to give up and continued to move forward. As he continued to move on his own, he developed the 100 seals on his body to prevent his muscles from overgrowing.

When Taroukichi was 5 years old, he developed an interest in sumo from watching the other boys in the village doing sumo. When Hyakuhei spared with Taroukichi, he impacted Hyakuhei out of the ring causing him minor injuries. The other boys became scared of Taroukichi's strength and called him a monster as they ran away. After that incident, Taroukichi stopped playing with the other kids and became sad on how his immense strength brings fear to people. Back at home his mother asked on why he wouldn't play with the other kids. Taroukichi started crying and told her on how his monstrous strength terrifies them. She later hugs him and told him that when he was born with an abnormal condition, she continually prayed to god for Taroukichi to stand up. She also told him that she loves him and that he should use his strength for the good of the weak. From that point of time, Taroukichi took his mother's words at heart and grew up to be a kind-hearted child. And so he would have lived and be loved by all in the land of Shinano. However, in 1783, the eruption of Mount Asama in Shinano changed his fate forever. The volcanic ash wiped out all the crops and plagues and famine struck the whole Shinano province. The disaster lead thousands of people to starve to death in what would be later be known as Great Tenmei Famine. At the age of 17, Taroukichi left Shinano and made his way to Edo. Taroukichi chose to become a sumo wrestler to raise as much money for his hometown as he could. Taroukichi then joined a sumo stable under Urakaze Yohachi. When it was Taroukichi turn to spar with his fellow students, he declined and warned them about his monstrous strength. Kajinosuke Tanikaze challenged Taroukichi to spar with him as pushes him to do his best. Taroukichi lost every time against Tanikaze and didn't give up due to his motivation to support his hometown. At the end of day, Taroukichi started to enjoy sumo and viewed it as fun. Tanikaze decided to take in Taroukichi as his student. Taroukichi tirelessly devoted himself to practicing the fundamentals of sumo. For him, sumo was the first place in his life where he could go all out against his opponents. In 1790, Raiden Tameemon debuted under the sponsorship of the Matsue Domain and won his first match. In a series of consecutive wins, defeating his opponents with just one strike he shone bright like a bolt of lightning. He use his victory earnings to rebuild his hometown and to relieve the villager from famine. This in turn caused the villagers look at him not as a monster, but as their hero. But one day, the sumo wrestlers that was spar against him viewed him as a monster. Raiden became sad again and told Tanikaze about his early childhood on he was viewed as a monster. Since then, Raiden sealed away his most powerful moves so he wouldn't break his opponents and so he wouldn't harm the weak. Even with his strength sealed, Raiden continued to win and send the money back to his hometown. For over 20 years, Raiden Tameemon was never defeated in a match and became known as the greatest rikishi in history, although he was never promoted to yokozuna. He later left the sumo ring for good and never went all out again, not even once.
