Poseidon is counted among the Twelve Olympian Gods and rules over the seas and oceans.
He bears fearsome titles such as “Tyrant of the Great Ocean” and “Zeus of the Sea,” emphasizing his power on par with Zeus within his own domain.
Among the gods, he is also known as the “Most Terrifying God,” a being so feared that even other deities avoid provoking him.
This reputation comes not only from his immense power, but from his ruthless, uncompromising nature.
In stark contrast to the aged and worn appearance of Zeus, Poseidon is depicted as a handsome, youthful man.
His features are refined and elegant, giving him an almost idealized image of godly beauty.
Despite this beauty, his presence is severe and intimidating rather than gentle.
His expression and bearing make it clear that he sees himself as far above others.
Poseidon is extremely arrogant and proud, to the point that Ares and Hermes call him “the most godlike of all gods.”
For him, this “godlike” quality means absolute confidence, overwhelming pride, and a complete lack of compromise.
He believes that a god, being a flawless existence from the beginning of the world, has no need for comrades, alliances, or schemes.
This ideology leads him to disdain cooperation and to look down on anyone he considers beneath him.
Those he deems inferior are dismissed as “small fry,” not even worth his gaze.
He rarely bothers to look them in the eye, reinforcing the gap he feels exists between himself and all others.
Ares and Hermes admire Poseidon’s overwhelming majesty and divine presence, calling him “the most godlike god.”
To them, he is the purest embodiment of divine pride and authority.
Hades, another of his brothers, describes Poseidon as “more noble and straightforward than any other god, and the one most worthy of the title of king.”
This shows that, despite his harshness, Poseidon possesses an unbending, regal core that even other powerful gods respect.
At the same time, many gods fear him deeply because of his merciless actions and extreme beliefs.
This fear is what earns him the title of the “Most Terrifying God.”
Poseidon once killed his own elder brother Adamas because Adamas opposed his ideology that gods have no need of comrades or plotting.
After killing him, Poseidon went so far as to treat Adamas as if he had never existed from the beginning.
This act of erasing a fellow god, and even a blood relative, from recognition shows how absolute and ruthless Poseidon can be.
It is a key reason why other gods regard him with both awe and terror.
Poseidon’s divine weapon is the trident, a three-pronged spear that symbolizes his dominion over the sea.
With it, he is capable of annihilating opponents who dare to enter his range.
In battle, Poseidon rarely moves unnecessarily and maintains an almost statuesque stillness.
He waits for his foes to approach, and the moment they step into his reach, he strikes them down with a single decisive blow.
This fighting style reflects his extreme confidence and contempt for his enemies.
He sees no need to chase or struggle, only to punish those foolish enough to come near.
Poseidon does not view humans as equals or even as worthy adversaries.
His pride and divine self-image make it difficult for him to acknowledge mortals in any meaningful way.
Even during his match against Kojiro Sasaki, Poseidon never recognized his opponent as someone worthy of respect.
He remained aloof and disdainful from beginning to end, treating Kojiro as another insignificant “small fry.”
When Kojiro ultimately perished, Poseidon did not mourn him in the slightest.
In contrast to the grief shown for Heracles, Kojiro’s death drew no sympathy from Poseidon and did not shake his pride at all.
