personality Shiva is portrayed as a friendly, carefree, and proud god. However, he can sometimes be temperamental and violent, even challenging Zeus to a duel. Shiva is described as a lover of fights, as that is where he finds fun and excitement. He is also shown to be very arrogant and confident, underestimating his opponents. After his battle against Raiden, he changes his mind about humans and recognizes the power they possess.

He carries the will of all 1,116 gods of India, therefore, he claims that no matter what happens or who he fights, he will never lose and will not let down all those gods he defeated in the past.

Past A long time ago Shiva lived comfortably training and having fun with his best friend and storm god Rudra who although he was someone more serious, would join Shiva in his occasional dances. One day they receive a request for help because a nearby village was being attacked by a pair of ashuras called Shumbha and Nishumbha. Shiva and Rudra decide to go help, ending up easily defeating said ashuras. After this encounter and realizing that a civil war has arisen between all the devas for the control of the Hindu kingdom, Rudra tells Shiva that his dream is to become the supreme god of Svarga and proposes to Shiva to accompany him. This is how both decide to undertake together the path to conquer the top of India. Although at first no one took them seriously, they would soon gain respect because they effortlessly defeated any ashura and deva that stood in their way and stole their epithets.

Their journey took them to face powerful gods such as the god of fire Agni, the god of water Varuna, the god of lightning Indra and even Brahma and Vishnu, gods of creation and preservation. At last, after a long journey in which they defeated 1,115 gods, they were able to contemplate from the top of Svarga everything that now belonged to them. However, Rudra was still not satisfied and challenges Shiva to a duel claiming that two gods cannot exist at the top. Much to his regret, the god of destruction accepts. The clash between their fists would resonate throughout Svarga, attracting many of the gods they had previously defeated to watch what was happening. After a long fight, Shiva proves to be superior but the god of the storm was determined to fulfill his dream of being the most powerful so he continues to get up and try to fight even when his life was at risk. Shiva takes pity on him and sits on the ground surrendering, but at that moment Rudra falls to his knees.

and accepts that he has been defeated. Shiva cries because his best friend will not be able to fulfill his goal of being number one, but Rudra himself tells him that his dream now belongs to him, placing all his trust in him and giving Shiva a friendly fist bump, transferring his tattoos to him. In this way Shiva accepts the responsibility of being the leader of the Hindu pantheon while the other gods who were watching the fight celebrate with pride.

About four thousand years ago, Ares was present at the council of the gods to decide the fate of humanity. In the end, humans were allowed to continue existing but in exchange they would receive a punishment, so the city of Thebes was designated to be besieged. Loki suggests killing all the inhabitants of the city but Shiva stops him and tells him that they should not go too far so he proposes himself to destroy Thebes, however Ares speaks up and declares that being a Greek city the one to be punished it was a better option for the Greek gods to apply said punishment. With this said both Shiva and Loki give in to his insistence.

Council of the Gods He is seen voting for the destruction of humanity and mocking the idea that a human could face a god.

Ragnarok: First round Shiva was watching the first battle of Ragnarök and was seen in disbelief that Lǚ Bù could rival Thor. At the end of the battle he declared that he had not felt so excited in a long time.

Ragnarok: Second round Shiva was about to enter the Valhalla arena to fight representing the gods, but was stopped by Zeus, who told him that he would take his place. Shiva became angry and refused to give up his place, even challenging him to a fight. After some grumbling, he finally resigned himself and let Zeus take his turn to fight Adam.

Ragnarok: Third Round At the end of the fight, Shiva is stunned by Poseidon's death at the hands of Kojiro Sasaki.

Ragnarok: Fourth Round After the end of the third fight Shiva has a brief meeting with Zeus, Ares, Hermes and Loki where they discuss Poseidon's death and the repercussions it will have on Ragnarök. After some discussion he is determined to fight in the fourth round but is again stopped by Zeus who declares that the Greek pantheon must avenge the death of one of their own. Shiva has no choice but to give up his place again and watch the fight.

Ragnarok: Fifth Round After a long wait Shiva is finally able to fight at Ragnarök, making his entrance just after Raiden Tameemon's introduction. After a brief exchange of words once the duel has started Raiden decides to strike first by connecting Shiva with some flying kicks. The god, although a little stunned, smiles in happiness declaring that it was worth waiting for his turn to fight. Raiden continues to attack aggressively and Shiva manages to block a blow but almost at that same moment he receives a powerful punch to the face that destabilizes him and makes him fall to his knees. Raiden grabs his head and tries to knee him, however, to his surprise the god was able to block that attack. Shiva counterattacks by breaking free from Raiden's grip and holding him with his first pair of arms and then hitting him in the abdomen with his remaining arms, causing Raiden to be thrown into the air. The human would be able to turn his body to be able to land on his feet. After this, both fighters exclaim that they did not expect their rival to resist their attacks.

While Shiva finds the situation amusing Raiden Tameemon decides to fight seriously so he hits his chest breaking the seal that contained his muscles which begin to grow grotesquely; with the help of his Völundr he would manage to control said muscles avoiding being crushed by them. With his true strength released Raiden again takes the initiative and surprises Shiva again with a series of attacks even faster and more powerful than the previous ones, making him fall face down to the ground. Shiva gets up dizzy and Raiden takes advantage of the moment holding him and then tries to headbutt him but the god would block the attack also throwing a headbutt towards Raiden's face. The strong crash causes both foreheads to bleed. Immediately Shiva responds with a flurry of fast punches that make Raiden retreat but he

The latter would manage to grab his second left arm and using his enormous strength would crush said arm causing Shiva to scream in pain. The god would manage to free himself from that punishment by kicking Raiden's stomach but his arm would be destroyed. The gods in the stands are worried because a human could disable Shiva's arm, however his wives and the other gods of India begin to encourage him and remind him that they fully trust him. Right after remembering the path he walked with Rudra to become the most powerful Hindu god, Shiva assures Raiden that he will not lose against him, so he launches the attack again. After a brief exchange of blows he decides to fight seriously and begins to use his war dance, confusing Raiden due to the particular rhythm of said dance. Seeing Shiva use the so-called "Sacred Treasure of Svarga" the other gods of India begin to applaud and sing to accompany the rhythm of the dance. Once finished, Shiva launches himself against Raiden moving at an incredible speed and begins to hit him with each of his limbs continuously leaving the rikishi without the possibility of reacting against his attacks. Raiden seeing himself cornered by the incessant blows has no other option than to enlarge the muscles of his arms to use them as a shield. However Shiva does not stop his rhythm, attacking with increasing speed and power which ends up activating his Tāndava technique. In the end Raiden gives in and Shiva jumps using the human's arms as support to then attack him with his Krttivāsī kick which manages to severely burn Raiden's face and torso. The human smiles and proceeds to use all his strength with his Yatagarasu technique, taking Shiva by surprise who although he covers himself with two of his arms would be hit with immense force tearing them off. Shiva wounded, with only one functional arm and stunned, would manage to get up but is surprised to see that Raiden has

Shiva begins to suffer the consequences of using the strength of his muscles. With both equally wounded and worn out, Shiva realizes that both he and Raiden are alike as they carry the trust and admiration of their family and friends. Thus, he also chooses to use all his power by piercing his chest with his own fingers to directly stimulate his heart. By reviving his circulatory system he manages to activate his ultimate technique Tāndava Karma, causing a massive wave of heat due to the intense combustion his body enters. After accessing this state the fight continues and now Shiva begins to dominate as Raiden's body chars at the slightest contact with him and he is able to dodge each attack of the human, however Shiva also begins to suffer ravages from his wounds and the flames that consume his body. Both he and Raiden make an effort to stay standing while their lives are at risk. After a brief exchange of blows, Raiden uses his Yatagarasu again with the last of his remaining strength. Shiva responds with his Devaloka move, countering Raiden's technique and splitting his arm in two. Having exhausted his strength, the rikishi surrenders and thanks Shiva for the fight. The god smiles and recognizes Raiden's courage, then decapitates the human with a kick, ending his life and also thanking him for having given him a good fight. This is how Heimdall declares Shiva the winner of the fifth fight.

In the past, he defeated devas whose strength was overwhelming, including the god of lightning Indra, the god of creation Brahma, the god of fire Agni, and the god of water Varuna. Shiva faced and defeated a total of 1,116 gods including his best friend and storm god Rudra.

Divine Strength: Shiva possesses physical strength superior to that of the vast majority of gods. From a very young age, he was able to defeat numerous gods with a single blow, and during his fight against Rudra, the clash of his fists created shock waves that resonated throughout Svarga.

Thanks to his four arms, he possesses combat prowess superior to most gods and humans, being able to block his opponent's attacks with just one pair of arms.

Techniques Hidden treasure of Svarga Shiva starts dancing

Ta Ki Ta Tatin Gi Na Tomu (タ・キ・タ・タティン・ギ・ナ・トム, lit. "Sacred Treasure of the Svarga"?): A war dance that only Shiva can perform. While dancing to the "rhythm of the cosmos" he can attack his opponent with increased speed and power. The unpredictable rhythm at which Shiva moves while performing the dance allows him to continuously attack his opponent from all possible directions, giving him little chance to react. Tāndava (輪廻武踊 (ターンダヴァ), Tāndavua ?, lit. "Dance of Reincarnation"): Due to the intense use of his war dance, Shiva's body begins to overheat and combust, which gives him increased damage to his attacks, being able to burn his opponent with each hit he connects. Krttivāsī (虎爪炎舞 (クリツティヴァーサス), Kuritsutivuāsasu?, lit. ``Flaming Dance of the Tiger's Claw´´): Shiva leaps into the air and delivers a powerful downward kick with his flaming leg, this technique is capable of slicing and burning his opponent. The fire created by this attack is hot enough to almost instantly cauterize the same wound it creates by piercing the opponent's skin. Tāndava Karma (輪廻武踊灰塵（ターンダヴァ・カルマ）, Tāndavu~a karuma ?, , lit. "Dance of the Ashes of Samsara"): This is Shiva's secret technique. By stimulating his heart, Shiva can directly fan his atman (Sanskrit for soul), resulting in an incredible increase in strength and speed. Additionally, his body can burn at a higher level than when using the normal Tāndava technique. The heat it generates is such that anything that comes into contact with it will be reduced to ashes, so now Shiva's blows can carbonize his opponent's body in a matter of seconds. However, this technique has a drawback and that is that Shiva himself will be affected by the combustion that his body makes and if the battle goes on too long Shiva will begin to disintegrate due to the intense heat of the flames.

produced by their technique. Devaloka (大切炎舞 (デーヴァローカ), lit. "Important Flame Dance"?): A powerful spinning kick performed by Shiva in his Tāndava Karma state. This kick is so powerful that it was able to counter Raiden's Yatagarasu, ripping his arm in half in the process.
