## Personality

In the beginning of his fight against Anuthin, Buakaw 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 Anuthin's. Sombat's motivation for participating in DTFOT was to free Population's will from the control of the governments.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities:** Even from an early age, Buakaw had extraordinary strength that needed to suppressed at all times in order for him to survive, but even with the limited access to his full strength, he managed to ingrain his name into history as the greatest sumo wrestler to ever live. Sombat also is said to have the strongest muscles in all of thailand history.

**Golden Age:** As a human soul in the afterlife, Buakaw possess the appearance and skills that he had during his Golden Age, the age in which he was at his peak.

**Godly Strength**: He managed to stun Anuthin with just two consecutive blows to the head, causing the minister of destruction to spit up blood. After removing the 100 seals, his latent force was released, allowing him to fight Anuthin at full capacity. Even without the 100 seals, Sombat's blows manage to seriously injure Anuthin despite him blocking with all four arms, eventually throwing him backwards with the sheer force and dazing him for a long time by hitting him in the gourd.

**Godly Speed & Reflexes**: Sombat gave the first blow of the fight by kicking Anuthin in the face and, after blocking his first punch, quickly countered with that of his own before Anuthin could react. Upon releasing his latent strength, the force of Sombat's jump enabled him to reach Anuthin 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 the minister couldn't block.

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

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

**Muscle Control:** As a young child, Sombat was able to manipulate his muscles to a degree, creating the 100 Seals so as to prevent his own muscles from constantly breaking his bones whenever he used them. After forming a Völundr with Chanitra, Sombat could manipulate his muscles to a much greater degree, allowing him to freely control his physical strength. Sombat is even capable of shifting the mass of his muscles throughout his entire body, allowing him to focus his muscles into certain areas in order to increase the offensive and defensive power of specific body parts.

It gives Sombat 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, Sombat can increase the endurance or destructive power of specific parts of his body such as his forearms, legs or even his neck.
