BUDDHA TO ZEUS IN VARYING EXPECTATIONS

Buddha is Humanity's representative in the sixth round of Ragnarok, going against Zerofuku, despite
initially being listed as a representative for the gods.

Buddha is a prominent deity and the leader of the Buddhist Pantheon, being the founder of Buddhism,
one of the Four Sages, as well as one of the few divine beings, alongside Heracles and the Valkyries, who
are not in favor of destroying humanity. Buddha was formerly a human by the name of "Gautama
Siddhartha" and a famous philosophical figure hailing from Ancient Nepal, before attaining
enlightenment and eventually ascending to godhood.

Appearance
Buddha takes the form of a tall muscular man in a tank top with glasses along with robes tied around his
waist wrapping back to his hands. He wears a bindi on his forehead, and has his hair tied backwards in a
classical/old-fashioned way. He also dons earrings, a pair of rectangular glasses, and has elongated
earlobes. He has sharp canines and is seen most of the time sucking a lollipop. The tank top he wears is
accompanied an eyepatch-wearing rabbit design with the word "USACHAN" written right below it. The
rabbit is possibly in reference to the Buddhist tale of the moon rabbit, which symbolizes an ultimate act
of altruism. Buddha's eyes are usually completely black without pupils, but occasionally, a lily appears in
each eye representing the seven lilies that appeared when he took his first steps.

Personality

Buddha has an easygoing attitude and does not seem to take anything seriously. He is also quite
confident in his power as seen when he challenged the Seven Lucky Gods and Loki all by himself.[1] His
confidence is so great he said he wouldn't mind challenging Zeus to his face.[2] He is also unabashed and
extroverted, he talks comfortably with any one he meets, sometimes expressing his thoughts aloud and
acting in any way he pleases in front of any audience. Furthermore, he is extremely ballsy, not willing to
let anyone push him around, regardless of whether its a god or a human, saying that only he can move
himself.[3][4]

Buddha also seems to show great animosity and disrespect towards his fellow gods, as seen when he
ignored everything Loki had to say to him,[5] yawning even when Ebisu was threatening to kill him,[6]
defied Zeus' words and agreements,[7] told all the gods in attendance to shut up, and threatens to kill
anyone who stands in his way. In contrast, Buddha has an intense drive to protect humanity, as seen
when he goes against the orders of Zeus and fights for the humans despite agreeing to it previously,[7]
and still calmly tells every god in attendance that he'll kill any of them that try to stop him.[8] Buddha is
also biased towards certain individuals, as seen when he didn't share his sweets with Zeus, but openly
offers Brunhilde popcorn, and is more open and outgoing with her compared to Zeus. He also possesses
a terrifying aura.[9] Buddha has a tendency to say "Shaddap" frequently, further accentuating his child-
like demeanor.

Abilities

Godly Strength: Buddha possesses godly physical strength, as shown when a light kick from Buddha
damaged Zerofuku so much that he coughed up blood and couldn't breath.[10][11] Buddha could also
push Zerofuku's giant axe with his shield[12] as well as strike with so much force it caused him to bleed.
[13]
Godly Speed & Reflexes: Buddha managed to react to and dodge Ebisu's point-blank shot effortlessly
and with finesse,[14] and could easily match Zeus in speed and reflexes while trying to keep his candy
bowl away from him.[15] In his match against Zerofuku, Buddha effortlessly dodged his incessant and
blinding axe swings, occasionally even moving at speeds that surpass Zerofuku.[16]

Devotion: Buddha has a connection to the Pure Land, which means that, by entrusting one's fate to
another, they can draw out each others the power and surpass their natural limits. Before Ragnarok,
Brunhilde sought him out to learn about "intertwined fates" so that the Valkyrie's "Volund" would
enable them to fight against the Gods by entrusting their lives to the wielder.[17] It is through this
concept that humans are capable of harming the Gods with their weapons.[18]

Pure Enlightenment Eight Consciousness: A divine ability, one in which only those who're enlightened
can utilize. This ability allows Buddha to see a moment into the future,[19] granting him a form of
precognition. The moments that Buddha sees can be witnessed enough times for him to know exactly
how and when to best avoid incoming attack. Buddha has used this multiple times, such as when he
took a peak into the future in order to better dodge Ebisu's gunshots.[14] However, this ability was best
displayed during his fight against Zerofuku, where he constantly and effortlessly dodged the latter's
attacks flawlessly despite the size of his battle axe. It is implied that his normally-blackened pupils turn
into lily patterned when he activates this ability.[20]

Techniques

Six Realms Staff:[21] A divine weapon transformation technique channeled using Buddha's six realm
staff. This technique is based on the six realms known to Buddhists which mankind can reincarnate into,
each protected by one guardian Buddha which the six realms staff stores the power of. Once activated,
scrolls materializes from the the staff, slowly engulfing it. However, the staff changes to best suit
Buddha's emotions, so he is unable to choose which weapon he wants to wield.[22]

First Realm: Divine Realm, Wish Granting Wheel Kannon - Lokapala:[23] A giant halberd, known as the
twelve Deva axe, that has great range and attack potency.

Second Realm: Human Realm, Unshakeable Cord Kannon - Akshaya:[24] An indestructible Varja short
sword for close ranged combat.

Third Realm: Animal Realm, Horse-Faced Kannon - Nirvana:[25] A giant spiked club with excellent
offensive capability and blunt force.
Fourth Realm: Asura Realm, Eleven Faced Kannon - Ahimsa:[26] An enormous shield, which he uses to
defend from Zerofuku's giant axe strike.

Equipment

Six Realms Staff: Buddha wields an oversized prayer wheel in the form of a staff-like weapon, which he
carries on his shoulder. The staff stores the power of the six guardian Buddhas of the six realms in
Buddhism, allowing it to change its form to another type of weapon or tool based on his emotions,
Ahimsa being apparently excitement and Nirvana apparently seriousness, as he held harsher expressions
once wielding it.

Quotes

(To Zeus "The only one that can move me, on heaven or Earth, is me."[3]

(To the Gods) "If the Gods won't save them... I will. And if any god gets in my way... I'll kill them."[8]

(To Brunhilde) "I like em'! Those eyes full of worldly trouble! Almost like good and evil don't matter to
you as long as you can achieve your goal. Well, whatever. But there's one thing you oughta remember...
I can't just leave that be, now..."[27]

(To Odin) "Didn't I tell you guys? Friend or enemy, good or bad, god or human. It doesn't matter who
you are... 'cos in this whole world, I'm just me!"[28]

(To Zerofuku) "Happiness... ain't something you can give to other people. It's something you've gotta
attain yourself![...] Where there's shadow there's light you know?[...] So, how about it? Want to reach
enlightenment with me, bud?" [29]

(To Zerofuku) "One is truly one's own master... Zero. You've gotta love yourself."[30]
