POWER SCALE:
Hasel is one of the most dangerous fighters in Block A, although his power works in a very different way than Sun Wukong's.

He is not only known for his physical strength.
Its true danger comes from the combination of:

swordsmanship + supernatural eye + Gretel + sword transformation ability.
The available material on the character describes him directly as an extremely high-level fighter within the tournament, and notes that the characters in Otogi Bukkorosseum possess deliberately exaggerated abilities.

Approximate classification:
Physical strength: High
Speed: High
Reflexes: Extremely high
Resistance: High
Durability: High
Swordsmanship: Extremely high
Perception: Extremely high
Hax / Special Abilities: Extremely High
Versatility: Extremely high
Offensive potential: Extremely high

Hasel can be considered a high-level fighter, especially dangerous in one-on-one confrontations.
His eye ability eliminates one of an opponent's greatest advantages: the element of surprise.

Hasel possesses a youthful yet unsettling appearance, with a slim and athletic body that contrasts with the enormous demonic creatures and structures that accompany him during combat.
She has short, messy, dark purple hair, with numerous strands sticking up around her head. Her face retains youthful features, but her expression is usually dominated by an arrogant and unsettling smile that reveals her teeth.
Her eyes have a particularly striking appearance. They are dark and penetrating, and are associated with her uncanny ability to observe weaknesses and detect lies in others.
He wears a kind of dark military uniform, mainly black and very dark green, decorated with gold embroidery and cords. On his head he wears a black military cap with a gold band and an emblem in the center.
A long black cape falls from his shoulders, covering much of his body and giving him a far more imposing silhouette. The clothing combines military elements with a fantastical and supernatural aesthetic.
Around her body appear details of purple and red, especially related to Gretel and her demonic nature.
Her main weapon, Gretel, has an extraordinarily peculiar appearance. It is not a conventional sword: it possesses a long, otherworldly, purple form, adorned with eye-like patterns and organic elements. The sword can radically change shape.
In her most monstrous state, Gretel can manifest as enormous demonic structures surrounding Hasel, taking on forms similar to monstrous limbs, creatures, or jaws.
These manifestations make Hasel appear to be accompanied by a gigantic creature instead of simply holding a sword.
The visual result is deliberately grotesque: a young man dressed as a military officer, accompanied by a sword that appears to be alive.

Hasel is arrogant, domineering, ambitious, and extremely self-confident.
He doesn't have Sun Wukong's playful personality or Alibaba's adorable clumsiness.
Hasel knows exactly what he wants and is prepared to push past anyone who gets in his way.
Their goal is to conquer the world together with Gretel.
This ambition is reflected in his behavior: he often speaks and acts like someone who believes he is destined to be above others.
He has a personality quite close to that of a "villain protagonist".
He doesn't necessarily act like a completely out-of-control character. Rather, he is calculating, proud, and aware of his own capabilities.
His confidence does not depend exclusively on his strength either.
Hasel knows that he possesses an extraordinary advantage thanks to his eyes.
He can observe his enemy, detect his weaknesses, and recognize when he is lying. Therefore, deceiving him is extremely difficult.
This also explains his attitude during the fights.
Hasel does not need to immediately launch an attack against his enemy.
You can observe it.
You can analyze it.
It can wait.
And when she finds an opening, Gretel takes care of the rest.
Despite his arrogant personality, Hasel maintains an extremely close relationship with Gretel.
Gretel is not just his weapon.
He is her younger brother.
Their existence is connected by a curse, so their relationship has a much deeper dimension than that of a warrior and his sword.
Hasel seems to accept Gretel's transformation and use it as part of his path to domination.
This demonstrates the extent to which he is willing to accept the monstrous in order to achieve his goals.

The relationship between Hasel and Gretel is one of the central elements of the character.
Gretel was originally his younger brother.
However, both ended up bound to a demonic sword through a curse.
As a result, Gretel literally became the sword.
Therefore, Hasel does not really fight “with” Gretel.
Hasel fights using Gretel as an extension of his own body.
Gretel can change shape and adopt different configurations, allowing the brothers to fight as a single entity.
The font that introduces the characters precisely summarizes their concept as:
Hasel, the older brother, has eyes capable of not missing any opening and detecting lies, while Gretel, transformed into a sword, can freely change shape.
This combination is what makes them both an extremely dangerous duo.

Hansel and Gretel:
Hasel is based on Hansel, while Gretel is based on his sister/brother of the same name within the traditional tale.

However, Tales of Destruction takes the original story and completely transforms it.
Instead of focusing on the abandoned children in the woods and the candy house, the work turns the brothers' relationship into a story of curse, demonic sword, and ambition.
Hasel ends up making a contract with a demonic sword.
The result is a curse that transforms Gretel into the sword itself.
Since then, the brothers have remained close.

THE CURSE:
The curse of the demonic sword is the element that defines Gretel's current existence.
Gretel ceases to possess a conventional human body and becomes Hasel's weapon.
This gives it capabilities that a normal sword could never possess.
Can:
change shape;
alter its structure;
extend;
adopt monstrous configurations;
to function like a creature;
act as an extension of Hasel's body.
The curse makes the relationship between them practically inseparable.

AIM:
Hasel and Gretel have an extremely clear goal:
Conquer the world.
They do not participate solely to survive.
They are not simply seeking to defeat their enemies.
They want to reach the top and establish their dominance.
This ambition is one of the main differences between them and other participants in the tournament.
While some fighters possess personal desires related to loss, redemption, or resurrection, Hasel is driven by an ambition for power and domination.

FABLEGGEDON / BUKKOROSSEUM
Hasel and Gretel participate in the Bukkorosseum, the tournament organized by Grim P.
The concept of the tournament is to pit the protagonists of stories and legends against each other in death matches.
The winner can get what they want, including the possibility of getting someone important back.
Hasel and Gretel appear within block A.
Their corresponding matchup is:
Pinokyo 008
VS
Hasel & Gretel
The fight pits two completely different concepts against each other:
Pinokyo 008: a technological weapon created to destroy humanity.
Hasel & Gretel: a swordsman and a demonic sword united by a curse.
The publication of volume 4 itself confirms that it includes the confrontation between Sigurd and Hasel & Gretel, while the structure of block A previously places Hasel & Gretel against Pinokyo 008.

Sword mastery:
Hasel is an extremely skilled swordsman.
His style relies on using Gretel with precision and taking advantage of the openings detected through her eyes.

Supernatural force:
He possesses strength far superior to that of a normal human.
He can handle Gretel even when she takes on forms of enormous dimensions.

Speed:
Its speed allows it to immediately take advantage of any openings it detects.

Highlights:
Their reflexes are directly related to their ability to perceive the weak points of their enemies.
It can react quickly when it finds an opening.

Endurance:
His body possesses a supernatural resistance that allows him to continue fighting in extremely violent confrontations.

Hand-to-hand combat:
Although Gretel is her main weapon, Hasel also possesses sufficient physical combat capabilities to defend herself when the situation requires it.

Coordination with Gretel:
This is probably his greatest practical skill.
Hasel and Gretel function as a single unit.
The weapon can change shape while Hasel continues to use it, allowing for attacks that are extremely difficult to anticipate.

Eye of Hasel
Hasel's most distinctive ability.
His eyes allow him to detect the openings of his enemies.
This means it can identify vulnerable points during combat.
It doesn't necessarily matter how strong the enemy is: if there is an opening, Hasel has the ability to perceive it.
Lie detection
His visual perception also allows him to recognize when someone is lying.
This makes it extremely difficult to deceive him with words.
It is particularly appropriate for a reinterpretation of Hansel, a character who in the original story faces a situation where deception plays an important role.
Gretel
Gretel is a living demonic sword.
Its most important ability is to freely change shape.
It can go from a sword to much larger and more monstrous configurations.
This gives it enormous versatility.
Gretel's Transformation
The sword can modify its structure to adapt to combat.
It can produce forms similar to:
limbs;
creatures;
arms;
monstrous structures;
enormous demonic masses.
The transformation is not merely aesthetic.
It allows Hasel to completely change his offensive style depending on the situation.
Sibling synchronization
Hasel and Gretel have exceptional synchronization.
Hasel identifies the opening.
Gretel takes the appropriate form.
Hasel executes the attack.
This combination makes Hasel's eye ability even more dangerous.

Gretel — Demon Sword
Type: Living demonic sword
User: Hasel
Conscience: Gretel
Nature: Hasel's younger brother, transformed by a curse
Gretel is Hasel's main weapon.
It is not a sword that Hasel simply found.
Gretel IS the sword.
Her younger brother was transformed into her as a result of the curse caused by the contract with the demonic sword.
Gretel's main ability is to freely change shape.
This allows the weapon to take on much larger and more dangerous configurations than a traditional sword.
In combat, Gretel can behave almost like a living organism.

COMBAT STYLE:
Hasel's style can be summarized as follows:
“Find the opening → Gretel changes shape → Hasel executes.”
Hasel does not need to attack indiscriminately.
First, analyze.
Observe.
Detects.
Wait.
And when it finds the vulnerable point, it attacks.
This makes confronting him directly dangerous.
An enemy can have greater physical strength than Hasel and still lose if they possess a weak point that he can detect.
Furthermore, Gretel can change shape, so even if the enemy manages to learn the pattern of her attacks, the weapon can completely alter its configuration.

1. It can detect weaknesses.
   His keen eyesight allows him to find openings that other fighters might miss.
2. He is difficult to deceive.
   It can detect lies.
3. It possesses an extremely versatile weapon.
   Gretel can change shape.
4. It has two fighters in one.
   Although Hasel is the one wielding the sword, Gretel possesses her own nature and actively participates in the combat.
5. His style is unpredictable.
   The weapon can change its shape during battle.
6. Possesses an excellent combination of perception and offense.
   Hasel detects the vulnerability and Gretel provides the tool to exploit it.

WEAKNESSES:
Although extremely dangerous, Hasel should not be considered invincible.
His main advantage depends on his ability to perceive and on Gretel.
If an enemy can:
completely hide their weak points;
attack from multiple directions;
overcoming their reaction capacity;
prevent him from using Gretel correctly;
or possess a resistance that makes the openings irrelevant,
His style can become much more complicated.
Furthermore, Hasel continues to rely on his human body to fight.
Its true monstrosity comes from the combination with Gretel.

Gretel is her younger sister.
Gretel became the demonic sword that Hasel uses.
Gretel's transformation is due to a curse caused by a contract with the demon sword.
Gretel can freely change shape.
Hasel possesses eyes capable of detecting the openings of his enemies.
Their eyes can also detect lies.
Their goal is to conquer the world together with Gretel.
Hasel and Gretel form a combat unit, so they are usually considered a single participant/duo within the tournament.
They are participants in block A.
Their Block A match is against Pinokyo 008.
The series portrays Hasel and Gretel as characters who seek world conquest, placing them among the most overtly ambitious participants in the tournament.
Hasel's appearance retains a relatively normal human silhouette, while Gretel brings the monstrous and grotesque part of the design.
The relationship between the two transforms a children's story about two lost brothers into a much darker tale of curse, power, and domination.
Within the logic of the manga, Hasel is especially dangerous because his ability is not simply about "being strong": he can find where to hit you to do the maximum possible damage.

“The Swordsman of the Demonic Sword”
Hasel, whose Japanese name is ヘンゼル (Hansel), is one of the main participants in the Tales of Destruction tournament, originally known as Otogi Bukkorosseum.
It's a reinterpretation of Hansel, one of the protagonists of the Brothers Grimm's fairy tale Hansel and Gretel. However, this version completely transforms the original story: Hansel is no longer simply a boy lost in the woods, but a swordsman who made a pact with a demonic sword, causing his younger brother, Gretel, to become the sword itself.
Together they form a single fighting unit: the warrior and the sword.
Hasel uses Gretel as his primary weapon, while Gretel possesses the ability to freely shapeshift, allowing the sword to assume different configurations and monstrous forms during combat. At the same time, Hasel possesses a supernatural visual ability that allows him to detect his enemies' weaknesses and recognize lies.
Their goal is extremely ambitious: to conquer the world.
Unlike other participants who enter the tournament seeking redemption, love, or the resurrection of a loved one, Hasel and Gretel participate driven by their desire for power and domination.
