Bosse

 (ボッス, Bossu) is a character in Ousama Ranking and its anime adaption. He was the first king of the Bosse Kingdom and the father of Bojji and Daida. He was ranked #7 in the world, and widely acknowledged as the strongest man in the world.

Appearance
Bosse was a towering adult giant with black eyes, shaggy brown hair, a matching shaggy brown beard, and a very stern face. He was nearly three times the height of most adult humans, and had prominent scars crisscrossing his very muscular body.

He has since been forcibly reincarnated into the body of his second son, Daida, with the help of Miranjo.

Personality
Bosse is primarily shown in flashback, where he is depicted as a man of few words and overwhelming physical power. His relationship with most of the cast is never shown, particularly Hilling and Daida.

At some point either prior to the war or at the start of it, Bosse travelled to Houma to fight one of their mages in a duel of strength. Miranjo's father would agree to the duel, and proceed to nearly kill Bosse before being killed himself. Miranjo's mother, who was exceptionally kind and forgiving, would go on to heal Bosse. From that point on, Bosse would fight alongside the Houma military in their war effort, as well as watch over Miranjo and her mother.

During the war, the Houmas would ally with their neighboring nation of Gyakuza. This would ultimately lead to their downfall, as when it became apparent that they were losing the war they proceeded to betray their former allies. Bosse would learn of this, and rushed to Gyakuzan to try and protect Miranjo and her mother, where he would find Miranjo chained to a pole, beaten, filthy, and starving. Her hands had been chopped off and her face was mutilated. This led to Bosse slaying dozens of Gyakuzan, no matter their age, whether they ran, or begged for mercy. He then proceed to fill a sack with the corpses, and took them and Miranjo to a physician so she might be restored using their body parts.

Before the death of his original body Bosse professed a deep affection for Bojji, seemingly stemming from his deep love of his first wife, Sheena.

On the surface, it seems though Bosse will sacrifice anything but his own life in his pursuit of power, including his first son's physical strength and his second son's entire body. Bosse's true intentions now that he has been resurrected are unknown.
