Story

World
During the Dark Tournament, human martial artists, demons, and wealthy patrons collide under rules rewarding strength, endurance, and victory by knockout or death. Spiritual energy and demonic power define each fighter's limits. As a mercenary and reigning champion, Younger Toguro stands among the final obstacles, testing Yusuke's resolve while seeking a battle capable of ending him.

At his peak 100% form, his shoulders widen significantly, his skin takes on a greyish, armored texture, and his overall silhouette becomes monstrous and intimidating.

Notes
Stoic, honorable, disciplined, and ruthless, Toguro pursues a worthy opponent capable of killing him, hoping to atone for past failures. Guilt and lost human connection expose his weakness. Muscle manipulation allowing him to use varying percentages of his full power; the cost was his humanity and soul. Dark sunglasses, massive muscle mass, green trench coat, and flat-top hair define him.
