Bronze Saints

Pegasus Tenma

Voiced by: Tetsuya Kakihara (JP)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

• Back from the Dead: When Alone killed him in the first battle of the Holy War; thanks to Athena's divine protection in the flower leash, his soul was kept alive and subsequently rescued by Yato and Yuzuriha from Yomotsu Hirasaka.
• Break the Cutie: Not very rare. Learning that the place where he grew up was ravaged by Specters and that his childhoold friend is behind it all. Aldebaran's death, while he was unconscious. Dohko's apparent death, and the fact that he blames himself (and Degel doesn't help by agreeing that it's his fault). Yato and Yuzuriha turning into stone. Finding himself face to face with his beloved mother, who came back as a Specter.
• Brown Eyes
• The Chosen One: According to legends, the Pegasus Saint is always a key character in the Holy Wars against Hades, so everyone seems to think Tenma is some kind of chosen one and must make it through the war and face Hades. Tenma initially seems to think this means he's Blessed with Suck.

• Heroic Sacrifice: Alongside Sasha and Alone, to banish Hades back into the Underworld and keep him trapped there.

• Bodyguard Crush: Strongly implied to be in love with Sasha.
• Combination Attack: Twice. Once with El Cid, the other instance with Shion and Regulus.

  • Stupid Good: Even worse than Aldebaran. He let Sphinx Pharaoh rip his heart out just to prove that he was completely loyal to Athena when he could have kicked his ass easily (I mean, if he manages to do it without his heart in place...). Even if he does manage to perform Athena's Exclamation to allow everybody else to pass as a last stand, it still feels like a pointless death.
• Meaningful Name: Sisyphus was a king punished by the Gods for his arrogance: they made him roll a boulder up a hill to redeem himself, but before the boulder got to the top, it would always roll back down, no matter how many times he tried.
• The Obi-Wan: To Leo Regulus, his nephew.

• Good Wings, Evil Wings
• Glass Cannon: Terrifically strong, quite fast (and quite fast to attack with terrifically strong techniques), but kinda fragile when one manages to land a hit on him. When Sisyphus is finally able to hit him, it's One Hit KO.

• Eldritch Abomination: His true form as Kairos, the forgotten god of time.

  • Subverted, it turns out he actually has a palpable motivation, being that he was banned by his older brother, Kronos, and wants to kill him for it (there's no explanation for WHY he was banned though). By extension, he harbours a hatred against ALL older brothers; that includes Aspros.
