Desha

 (デスハー, Desuha) is a character in Ousama Ranking and its anime adaption. He is the King of the Underworld. He is the #2 ranked king in the world, and therefore an exceptionally-powerful monarch.

He was seen on multiple occasions to turn down the offer to become the number #1 king in the world.

Appearance
Desha is a large man with shoulder-length black hair, pallid skin, a pointed face, pointed teeth, and a thin black moustache. He wears purple and gold vestments, as well as a tall golden crown of unique design.

Personality
Desha is a jaded, disinterested man who enjoys novelty. After meeting Bojji and Kage by chance, the only reason he allowed them to speak with him was to relieve his own boredom. In spite of his attitude Desha is an extremely powerful king, ranked #2 in the world. He is also shown to be very beloved by his subjects, to which he is a fair and reasonable ruler.

He has a sour relationship with his younger brother, Despa, supposedly due to his envy of Despa's good looks (according to Despa). However, this lack of camaraderie doesn't prevent the two from working together in serious situations.

Desha is not above being opportunistic or retaliatory, and has chosen to use the current turmoil in the Bosse Kingdom, along with their secret portal to the Underworld, as an excuse to invade.

Plot
A legendary king and #2 in the Rankings, Desha first encountered Bojji and Kage when the two were found passed-out near the entrance to the Underworld. Amused by their weakness, Desha briefly spoke with them before casting them out of his castle, but allowing them to remain in his kingdom.

Later, Desha instantly sensed when Miranjo used her magic to free several Underworld prisoners, taking it as an excuse to declare war on the Bosse Kingdom. Desha chose to split his army in two, one detachment approaching the Bosse Kingdom above ground, where they would help subdue the prisoners and secure the Bosse Kingdom's capital city, and the other using Miranjo's Underworld portal to attack the castle from below.

Desha personally lead the detachment that used the portal, while Despa lead the detachment tasked with securing Ouken.

Immediately after crossing over Desha encountered Dormas and Hokuro, on their mission to destroy the Underworld portal. Though the two managed to slow the advance of Desha's army, they were easily out-classed by the powerful king. The tables turned with the arrival of Bojji, Kage, and Gigan, who started a standoff with Desha's army.

Ultimately Desha willingly retreated to the Underworld with a newly-knighted Gigan, after secretly consulting with his brother Despa. This appears to be part of a larger plan the two have to punish their true enemy: Miranjo.

Demigod
Desha is a demigod, or a human/god hybrid. He inherited most of his father's power, which manifests in him as extremely powerful magic, strength, and intuition. Like other magic-users he is also able to sense other beings' magic, including Miranjo's portal to the Underworld.

Lightning Magic
A devastatingly powerful form of magic recognized by the Order of the Underworld as belonging to King Desha. One bolt of Desha's lightning magic was able to completely knock out the immortal Ouken.

Communication Magic
Desha is capable of communicating with his younger brother, Despa, over long distances. He does so by speaking into his own cupped hand.
