Bosse

Lore & Background

Bosse was a giant warrior who, in his prime, was widely renowned as the strongest man in the world. He made a deal with a demon, choosing to steal power from his very own son. Feeling remorseful later, Bosse chose to become king and establish a country to ensure Bojji had everything he ever wanted in life. He was the first husband of Shiina (Bojji's birth mother) and later married Queen Hiling, with whom he fathered Daida. On his deathbed, he affirmed Bojji's right to succession. His consciousness was later transferred to Daida's body through the machinations of the Magic Mirror and Apeas, using an elixir that made Daida a vessel for reincarnation.

In Their Own Story

The inciting incident of the series' first arc is the death of Bojji's father, King Bosse, a legendary giant warrior who, in his prime, was widely renowned as the strongest man in the world. While Bojji's right to succession is affirmed by Bosse on his deathbed, there are those among the royal court that believe that Bojji's physical shortcomings make him unfit to rule. Unbeknownst to both Bojji and Hiling, Daida, under the influence of an enigmatic figure, has set in motion a sinister plot to consolidate his power — and Bosse is subsequently reincarnated in Daida's body.
