Appearance
Tsukasa is a tall young man, just under twenty years old, with eyes that are sometimes brown and sometimes red, and long brown hair tied into thick braids. He wears a crimson tunic and a yellow-beige belt. He is very muscular, although his build is rather lean and slim. From time to time, he wears a coat made from the fur of the lion he killed when he first awoke from his stone sleep.
The remnants of his petrification are cracks caused by the stone covering him that has disappeared, running diagonally across his torso and face. After losing these marks, he repaints them in the same spots on his body as war paint.
Personality
Once Tsukasa has something in mind, he is not likely to give up. To satisfy his idea of how the world should be, he went as far as to murder the person who had saved his life, and then raised an entire army to dominate the world, as it would allow him to enforce his philosophy.
He is highly sensitive to trauma and major events in his life. Since a wealthy old man beat him up when he was a child for picking up stones on land the rich man had bought, Tsukasa harbours a deep hatred for adults and property owners, never missing an opportunity to destroy their statues (thus indirectly killing them), which also shows that his composure and coldness are of the highest level.
He is willing to sacrifice his life to protect his little sister Mirai, even if the situation demands that he try to stay alive. He won thousands of strength championships to earn money for his sister when she was in hospital, but that was his only goal: fame, girls, newspapers, and his title as the strongest high schooler in the primate order leave him utterly indifferent.
Story
In our time, the entire planet was petrified, at least all humans and swallows, by a gigantic beam of light. It was only in February of the year 5738 that a human finally woke up, the high schooler Senku Ishigami, a genius in science and mathematics (proof being that he determined the date of his awakening because he counted the seconds for 37 centuries!!) and was later followed by his childhood friend Taiju Ooki six months later.
The world is full of statues, but they are determined to save it. Senku, who is a genius (I’ve already mentioned that), develops a cure for petrification. However, one day, while being pursued by very large lions, Taiju and Senku find themselves forced to revive Tsukasa, whose statue they encounter, and who they recognise as the famous high schooler known as the strongest in the primate order. He kills the lions with a single punch.
Sadly, he quickly begins to oppose Senku. Senku wants to revive the entire planet without discrimination, while Tsukasa only wants to revive the strong youth, arguing that wealthy adults will only begin to make life hell for others again by taking over lands and demanding rents.
Following this, a true war began between them. Tsukasa managed to kill Senku after extracting the petrification cure formula from him. But this very formula, having healing effects, allowed Senku to be revived without Tsukasa’s knowledge. Thus, the war could continue: Tsukasa revived strong young men while Senku made science-based weapons with the help of a village of humans (descendants of astronauts who were not on Earth at the time of the petrification and thus survived).
In the final battle, thanks to dynamite, katanas, and tanks from Senku's army, Tsukasa and his followers lost the war (also because Tsukasa was the victim of many betrayals), but they converted Tsukasa to their cause by reviving and curing his little sister Mirai Shishio, who had an incurable disease, and for whom Tsukasa had given everything and done everything to keep her alive before the great petrification.
Tsukasa's gratitude was short-lived: betraying him, his second-in-command, Hyoga, stabbed him from behind. But Senku defeated Hyoga with the help of the dying Tsukasa, who used his last strength and a 100,000-volt taser that Senku had made.
Tsukasa was frozen by surgery to keep him alive, until Senku brought back the necessary means from the other side of the world to save Tsukasa 60 chapters (two arcs) later. Tsukasa then joined Senku's forces, and they became friends. Senku is currently planning a trip to the Moon and wants Tsukasa as a member of his crew, which Tsukasa agrees to.
Powers / Abilities
- Strength: Tsukasa is extremely strong. He killed a giant lion with a single punch right after waking from a 37-century-long stone sleep. He can also destroy stone with his fists or crush it in his hand. While this might seem typical for a manga villain, it’s impressive for a supposed normal human.
- Speed: Tsukasa can attack with incredibly fast blows and sprint at an amazing speed. His rapid strikes resemble giant, devastating whip-like blows.
- Endurance: While Senku and his friends had a significant head start and were walking for a long time in one direction, once Tsukasa spotted them from far away (they had accidentally created a smoke explosion), he was able to run nonstop at high speed over a great distance. He didn’t even appear tired when he arrived at his destination.
- Reflexes: During a battle, Senku once shot a crossbow at Tsukasa (of course, he aimed to miss, just to impress him). The arrow was flying at over 200 km/h, but Tsukasa caught it mid-air, deflected it, spun around, and drove the arrow into the ground, all while matching the speed of the arrow.
- Charisma: Tsukasa is capable of rallying a great number of fanatics to his cause, commanding obedience, and having his followers adopt his doctrine. However, in this area, it seems that his enemies possess more charisma than he does. No one betrayed their side to join Tsukasa, whereas Senku had two spies within Tsukasa’s group, and three of his elite soldiers defected to Senku’s side. Additionally, Homura, Hyoga's right-hand, who is Tsukasa’s second-in-command, was bribed, and Hyoga ultimately decided to kill his leader from behind.
