꒷꒦Leonidas 𖥔

appearance

Befitting a Spartan warrior, Leonidas is a tall, muscular man with scars crisscrossing his body, with a distinctive long one running along the right side of his face. He has silver hair with a rough beard resembling a goatee and a man bun at the back of his head.

clothing

He wears clothing similar to that of a military soldier with blue camouflage pants, belts with pouches, heavy black boots, and a black shirt with a buckle. In both cases, he is smoking a cigar in his mouth.[5]

personality

Leonidas is a proud and loud individual who sees himself as one of the strongest, if not the strongest, fighters of the human race. When Brunhilde informed him that she was choosing him to be the fighter in the ninth round, he was uninterested: claiming that it would be better to send him in the first or last round of Ragnarok.[6] Leonidas hates being told what to do[7] and has no regard for something like fate. As such, Leonidas has an intense dislike for beings that attempt to dictate a person's actions, such as the Gods, none of whom he has ever met or seen while on Earth. Specifically, Leonidas harbors a great hatred for Apollo, as it was his oracle that prevented Sparta from mobilizing its full military might[8], which led Leonidas and the 300 men who followed him to sacrifice their lives at the Battle of Thermopylae. Upon learning that it was Apollo who would rise in the ninth round, he was instantly motivated to fight.[9] However, Leonidas respects strength and bravery. He was able to inspire all of the Spartans to join his fight against Persia with his speech, and grew to respect Apollo when he praised him and took pride in his scar. Leonidas declared that he enjoys three things in this world: reading in a hammock, enjoying a glass of wine with some Spartan cheese, and overthrowing arrogant gods with his bare hands. [10] Leonidas is the most selfish man in all of history, as he firmly believes that since a person cannot choose how he is born, he can still choose how he lives and dies, according to what his soul desires. It is this belief that led him to fight Apollo during the ninth round.[11]

strength

Like many of the fighters in Ragnarok, Leonidas possesses immense strength thanks to his years of training as a Spartan and as their leader. This was first demonstrated when, at the beginning of Round 9, Leonidas was able to slam his shield into the ground with such force that it left a large hole in the ground and covered the arena in a large cloud of dust. [12] When Leonidas transformed into his hammer form, his Phalanx Nemesis attack was able to cause a large shockwave that was capable of decimating and shattering the stage floor. While alive on Earth, Leonidas was able to shatter a giant statue of Apollo with a single punch, only receiving a little blood on his fingers. During the climax of Round 9, Leonidas' Phalanx Lambda was so powerful that it caused a massive shockwave in its wake, and was able to stop Apollo's Argyrotoxos arrow, though the Sun God still managed to pierce his shield and leave a large hole in his abdomen.

speed and reflex

While not as fast or reactive as fighters such as Apollo, Leonidas has shown himself to be capable of feats of immense speed and reflexes. Leonidas' speed was first demonstrated when Heimdall was saying "fight" with Leonidas having already leapt into the air and slammed his shield into the ground before Heimdall had finished saying the word. The attack was so fast that it left the audience in shock, and despite Apollo effortlessly dodging it, he was surprised by the sudden attack.[12] Leonidas was even able to block and redirect one of Apollo's arrows, which was an invisible light-speed attack, though Zeus claims that he was only able to do so because of the warrior instincts he had honed.[13]

resistance

From the day he was born, Leonidas trained his entire life and afterlife for the sole purpose of combat and fighting. While his specific training regimen is not known, it can be assumed from the training regimen the Spartan Warriors were undergoing when he was introduced that it involves lifting weights with their entire bodies, including their jaws and teeth.

mental abilities

Indomitable Will: As King of Sparta, Leonidas possesses an extremely strong and high willpower. The word "surrender" does not exist in the Spartan code. Leonidas fought Apollo, receiving several fatal wounds, but continued to fight until his death. Enhanced Charisma: Leonidas has high Charisma, being able to lead 300 Spartans into the Battle of Thermopylae to fight the invading Persian army.

equipment

Aspis Shield: [23] A dark grey metallic aspis shield lined with black, provided by the Völundr of the 5th Valkyrie, Geirölul. Due to Geirölul's unique nature, Leonidas can transform his short-range shield into a long-range weapon if needed, allowing him to fight from a distance as well, or transforming it into other weapons such as a buzzsaw or a hammer for more varied attacks.

techniques

Aspis - Saw Form: [16] The central portion of Leonidas' shield rises and several spinning blades emerge from it. This allows the shield to be capable of dealing much greater damage. Phalanx Asanatos (ファランクス・アサナトス, Farankusu Asanatosu): [15] Leonidas extends his shield by a chain and throws it at his opponent, in rapid succession. It is fast enough to leave behind afterimages. Aspis - Base Form: [5] The base form of Leonidas' shield is a metallic aspis shield, which is dark gray. Leonidas can slam his shield into his opponent at close range or can extend the shield by a chain to attack from afar. Aspis - Hammer Form: [19] The two halves of the shield around the central portion detach and transform into six spider-like legs, which then join together to create a large metal ball. The ball extends a little to reveal a handle, and Leonidas takes it off, now wielding a large hammer in his right hand and a shrunken shield in his left hand, both connected to each other by a chain. Phalanx Nemesis (Iron Hammer of the God of Destruction) (破神の鉄槌ファランクス・ネメシス, Farankusu Nemeshisu): [20] Leonidas raises his hammer backwards before swinging it at his opponent. The attack was powerful enough to completely destroy the entire terrain of the fighting stage. Aletheia Sparta (Shield of Truth) (真実の盾アリーシア・スパルタ, Arīshia Suparuta): [21] The entire metal covering of Leonidas' shield is broken off, revealing a standard-looking aspis shield underneath, which is engraved with a lambda. A dark aura is emitted around Leonidas and the shield itself when it is activated.
