The Crow King appeared in 2015 manga called Toriko. The "Crow King" (烏王 Uō) is the most powerful Emperor Crow and the ruler of Area 3. Its power and absolute lordship over one of the major continents of Gourmet World makes it one of the mighty Eight Kings, the eight most powerful beasts in the world.
Being an Emperor Crow, it is a gigantic bird with dark red feathers. Its size is so great that those beneath it will perceive it as a night sky.
Not much is known of the Crow King's personality, but being one of the Eight Kings it is likely a fearless entity.
Powers and Abilities[]
As one of the Eight Kings, the Crow King is considered one of the most powerful creatures in the Gourmet World, and the supreme ruler of the skies.
Due to its ability to spread deadly poison with just a flap of its wings, it is said that all creatures entering the shadow cast by the Crow King will stop thinking and die.
Its true power is shown by being able to create shadows anywhere around its being, even above its own body. The key to this ability is that the Crow King creates a powerful miniature sun of concentrated light energy, which in turn gives creation to shadows. Those who find themselves in these shadows cannot think and are ravaged to non-existence by the energies generated by the Crow King's miniature sun.
Crow King can also shoot Appetite Energy beams out of its beak.
- Awareness: Aside from its immeasurable strength, what truly makes this mighty creature of the sky as 'king' is their "sensitivity" to nature, much like how small animals can sense predatory threats, changes in the weather, or imminent natural disasters. This allows the Crow King to sense tiny occurrence across the planet which may prove important to its survival, to a far greater extent than even the most keen animals. Even non-natural crises and events can be detected or anticipated by the Crow King, such as its detection of Toriko's rising power following his duel with Starjun. This nearly omniscient power is what has ultimately allowed the Crow King and its descendants to survive countless mass-extinction events which otherwise would have been lethal even to them.
Techniques[]
- Emperor Shadow ( 'Enperā Shadō', literally meaning "Crow King's Shadow"): By using its powerful Appetite Energy, the Crow King creates a ball of energy that emits a light so bright that it can be considered as bright as the sun. By emitting the light, the Crow King casts its shadow throughout all directions, preventing opponents from avoiding its shadow.
