{Shiva}

A powerful spinning heel kick used by Shiva under his Tandava Karma state. The kick was so powerful and burning hot that it managed to overpower Raiden's most powerful move, Yatagarasu, and rip his arm in half.

Shiva's ultimate secret technique. By forcing his heart to beat faster, Shiva is able to directly stimulate his atman (spirit), resulting in an incredible increase in power and speed. Additionally, his body combust and burns at a higher level than when using Tandava, to the point of burning his surroundings, and objects far away from him to ashes. In this state, all his blows become hot enough to char and burn away flesh and was burning away the powerful muscles of Raiden. There is a drawback to this technique however, as Shiva himself will eventually burn out if he uses the technique for too long.

Shiva jumps into the air and brings down a powerful kick while simultaneously combusting his feet, slicing and burning his opponent. The flames created from the kick is hot enough to cauterize the flesh of Raiden, who had the greatest muscles in all of Human History.

Due to his intense dancing, Shiva's body becomes super-heated and starts to combust, which increases the power of his attacks and burns his opponent.

This martial dance is Shiva's trump card and can only be performed by him. By dancing to the rhythm of the cosmos, Shiva is able to attack his opponent with far greater speed and power while confusing them. Its unpredictable rhythm allows Shiva to continuously attack his opponent with multi-hit attacks while his opponent is under the impression of being attacked by many, many enemies all at once.

Semi-Immortality: As a God, Shiva has a limitless lifespan and will not die of old age.

Divine Physiology: As a God, Shiva possesses physical abilities far greater than any ordinary Human. His body cannot be harmed by mortal weapons, however, he can still be harmed by unarmed attacks from individuals with superhuman strength and Divine Weapons.

Pyrokinesis: Shiva can produce powerful heat and flames. Moreover powerful enough to burn the sturdy likes of Raiden Tameemon. The heat is capable of burning nearby objects and turning them into ash. However, he is not completely immune as the heat, as in tradeoff for Tandava Karma, his flesh slowly gets burnt away

Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Shiva is extremely skilled in the art of unarmed combat. He was able to defeat 1116 Gods with nothing but his fists, including Rudra, his partner that helped him defeat 1115 out of the 1116 Indian Gods. With his four arms, he can use moves and techniques exclusive to his physiology. His combat mastery was displayed in Round 5 of Ragnarök, where he contended with Humanity's Raiden Tameemon in a melee, matching the sumo wrestler, who is known for his tremendous combat skills and physical strength, hence even countering him and outclassing him on several occasions. After losing an arm from his opponent's Wild Boar, the God of Destruction adapted to his disadvantage by taking a wider stance, shifting his disrupted center of balance. And later on the fight, having lost three of his arms, he was still able to fight on par with Raiden.

Expert Dancer: Shiva is also a very skilled dancer, capable of dancing in the rhythm of the cosmos. By implementing dancing in his fighting style, he can fight more effectively and make his movements more unpredictable. He also has multiple techniques which involve dancing and by using said techniques he managed to defeat a great number of powerful gods.

Thanks to his four arms, Shiva possesses far greater dexterity in combat then most people; defending himself from oncoming strikes with one set of arms while attacking his opponents with the other pair.

Shiva has displayed tremendous heat resistance, able to dance until his body starts to generate enough heat to burn the flesh of his opponents, his body receiving not a single drop of damage in the process, nor showing any signs of pain. In comparison, Raiden, despite having the strongest muscles in all of mankind, was greatly affected by the flames. After using Tandava Karma, Shiva's own body was set on much greater fire which slowly burnt his flesh and nearby objects started to burn away, yet despite all the damage that he took from this process he was still able to survive the intense heat.

Shiva has displayed immense fortitude and pain tolerance, being capable of quickly recovering each time Raiden landed a blow on him, and even remained conscious and continue fighting even after losing three of his arms; Shiva was even capable of contending with Raiden blow-to-blow as he was enhanced by his Supramuscular Exoskeletal Mawashi Belt, henceforth foreshadowing a prove of survival of the deadly Yatagarasu, where he lost two more of his arms and received great damage to his face, which made him bleed and broke him two of his teeth. During his fight with Rudra, the sweat that flowed from their duel became a heavy rain that rained down upon the entire land, yet despite their fight possibly lasting for hours, Shiva showed no signs of dehydration by the end of it, and moreover even outlasted his friend's own great endurance. After going into his Tandava Karma, the Destroyer kept contending with Raiden in combat, where he had to endure getting burnt up by his own flames.

To compromise for the little defense in his fighting style, Shiva harbors an incredibly durable body. He took on the rikishi's Dropkick and Russian hook with minimal damage. As Raiden unlocked his 100 Seals, getting a massive increase in his physical abilities, the Indian God proceeded to withstand a beatdown from him. Then, dazed due to the Chrysanthemum Clothesline, as his opponent used Jizo's Embrace, thanks to the natural sturdiness of his head (According to himself), Shiva countered the headbutt by headbutting back, receiving minor damage as a result of their clash. Furthermore, Shiva survived the Yatagarasu of Raiden at blank-point range, which was so powerful it held back the sound barrier, coming out only with a loss of two more of his arms and damage to his face.

Befitting his nimble fighting style, Shiva is extremely mobile and swift in his limbs, demonstrated when he recovered from Raiden's Dropkick with a quick backflip. Shiva then managed to block Raiden's punch right after being hit hard on the head and also blocked his knee after taking another blow to the head, thus already attacking after defending himself, shocking the rikishi, as he has immense speed as well. Shiva, after recovering from Raiden's headbutt, quickly counter-attacked with a combo attack, where he dealt a double palm thrust with his lower arms and then an uppercut with both of his upper arms, the sumo wrestler unable to react, then performed a series of punches that made Raiden retreat backwards, who had difficulty reacting to all the blows, letting Shiva land one on his head and one on his ribs. After using the Hidden Treasure of the Indian Pantheon, Shiva's speed increased to the point of leaving multiple afterimages, allowing him to evade Raiden's attacks and overwhelm him with multi-hit attacks. In his youth, at the climax of his fight against Rudra, the Brawler was able to attack him several times faster than he could react. Shiva has and displayed incredible reaction time, showcased when he managed to react to the Yatagarasu, entering a guard to defend himself from it at blank-point range.

Made evident by the high muscularity of his body and henceforth his many titles, Shiva possesses extreme superhuman strength. Even in his youth, he bested thousands of Indian gods notable for their power, in hand-to-hand combat, which included defeating deities who were much larger than him. During his battle with Rudra, his best friend who has immense physical strength himself, he was able to fight with him on equal terms, if not even better, and their clashes sent massive shock waves throughout Svarga and the sound of their punches echoed through the entire land, with Shiva eventually overwhelming him. Many Gods of his pantheon acknowledge his strength. Shiva's monstrous strength allowed him to match Raiden Tameemon in their fight on multiple occasions, who has Humanity's strongest muscles: He managed to stop a punch and a knee from Raiden, despite his opponent's own phenomenal physical might, and send him flying across the arena with his 4 arms, hitting him in the chest with his lower arms and threw him behind himself at the same time, with his upper set of arms, making him fall back after the blow. And later in the fight, still dazed from an earlier lariat, as the sumo wrestler (who unrestrained by his 100 Seals) held him by his head and delivered Jizo's Embrace, the God of Destruction countered it with a headbutt of his own, stunning back the rikishi and dealing damage to him. After recovering from Raiden's headbutt, Shiva unleashed a ferocious volley of blows with all his four arms, forcing the Japanese fighter to retreat backwards, with the pressure of his punches being compared to cannon fire and causing his opponent several injuries, despite Raiden's supernatural durability. After having one of his arms crushed, and deciding to fight more seriously, Shiva's punches were able to blow away the still amplified by Thrud Raiden, even with his guard up, the force of his punches being even strong enough to leave prints of his knuckles on his body.

Shiva is introduced as a carefree, proud, and powerful God. However, he has shown violent tendencies, even against Zeus himself but stood down in respect of his senior.

This is further reinforced when he boldly became shocked by what his opponent thinks of Ragnarok, stating that it is the best event. In his youth, Shiva was far more lazy and easygoing. Almost every serious thing he did, was through following his best friend, Rudra, while he actually enjoyed to sleep and dance, so much that he wished to become a God of Dancing.

However, he did say he always has fun with Rudra, so he is fine following after him.

Once he and Rudra finished fighting their way to the peak of Svarga, he shows a lot of compassion towards Rudra, trying to change the subject to not fight him and begging Rudra to give up so he wouldn't have to harm him further. In the end, Shiva tried to pretend to act defeated so he could stop the fight and make Rudra happy to think he achieved his dream. However, when Rudra scolded him to give it his all and made him see he really got to the peak of Svarga, he finally accepted the title of leader of their pantheon.

He states in his round that he won't lose to anybody and that he isn't going to let Rudra and the people cheering on him down. Vishnu does comment that Shiva is always reckless while Rudra replies by stating that while he (Shiva) is nicer than anyone, once he get into a fight, he enjoys talking with his fist more than anyone else. Varuna also comments on how Shiva doesn't stop smiling, no matter how many times he gets hit, and Agni states that Shiva doesn't know the meaning of restraint.

Shiva is a tall, muscular man shown to have four arms and five golden eyes, with only three of them open when he's calm. He has indigo skin and messy black hair (slightly purple in the cover). He wears a golden bandana around his head and baggy golden trousers with a blue sash tied on his waist. Also, he has blue tattoos on his wrists, fingers, biceps and neck, which were given to him from his best friend, Rudra. These tattoos are consist of a zigzag pattern between two horizontal lines on his biceps and neck, three horizontal lines with vertical lines coming from the upper line on his wrists, and one horizontal line on each of his fingers, except his thumbs.

After using Tandava Karma, Shiva's skin will turn red while his tattoos turn black and blue flames cover his arms and lower body. It seems that if one of his limbs is damaged too much, the blue flames won't appear on the limb in question.

Shiva is the Gods' representative in the fifth round of Ragnarok, going against Raiden Tameemon.

Shiva is a prominent deity and the leader of the Indian Pantheon. He is a Supreme God and known as the "God of Destruction", and the greatest brawler of the Indian Pantheon.

In his youth, Shiva never had any interest in becoming the leader or the strongest of his pantheon, that dream belonged to his closest friend, the Storm God Rudra. Shiva merely joined Rudra on his journey and fought alongside him. After defeating all the other gods of India, Rudra challenged Shiva himself for the true top spot. The battle was the most epic in India's history, but in the end, Rudra was forced to accept that Shiva was stronger and admitted defeat.
