Appearance[]

Elie Captured

Lance

Lance is a tall man of average weight with a muscular structure and prominent features. He has grayish purple hair, which is kept in spiky strands jutting outwards in every direction, and shaved on the sides. He has slanted red eyes and above the thin, purple eyebrows, at the tips, are silver piercing. When he was younger, he kept his hair tied at the back, forming a ponytail, with long, thick sideburns reaching up to his cheeks. Now, he keeps his sideburns but removes his long ponytail. He has a small portion of hair under his chin, almost forming a beard. Lance has fair tan skin with a pointy nose and big ears.[1]

Lance's outfit consists of a long light brown coat, tied with a furry, animal-like hair belt around his waist, with golden outer edges and a big golden collar. Around the collar of the coat, there are two big red spears circled by silver lines. On the back of the coat, there is a figure of a wolf with a big, round nose and a sword going vertically across with one handle and half a handle on the opposite side. At the bottom of the coat three buttons can be spotted, two exactly across one another and the third one a little lower from the other two. The left sleeve has a picture of the Demon Card symbol, unlike the right side. Adorning the cuffs are patterns of flowers, though in the anime this is replaced by a simple, light brown color. Lance keeps the coat zipped up to his chest. Under the coat, there is a lighter, smaller shirt tucked into his long creamy pants. Lance's final piece of clothing is his boots, which have a lighter color at the top, and reach above his ankle.[1]

Personality[]

Lance mocks Shuda

Lance's calm nature

Lance is a rough, cold-hearted villain best described as a carnivorous beast out for any prey. He does not take other people's feelings and life into consideration when killing or attacking.[2] When he was young, after obtaining the Beast Sword, he kills Galein Musica's entire family and lets him, Galein, live and sees him suffering through the years. Ever since then, he uses Galein for work purposes; retrieving the Rave stone. Galein was shown to not care for other people's property as he destroys an entire store just to capture Elie in an attempt to lure out the Rave Master, Haru.[1] He likes to be punctual and keep his promises as he tells the Rave Warriors that he will kill Elie if they do not give him Rave. In the middle of his fight with Hamrio Musica he stops and heads towards Elie, he raises his sword and almost kills her if not for Haru; keeping his word.[3]

As he fights Haru he shows a calm and mature persona. He lets his opponents tire themselves out before attacking, grating him an advantage when in battles.[4] However, when he loses power he makes himself thought as if he is defeated,[5] but instead he waits for his opponents to be distracted and charge in for another attack at the right moment.[6]

Synopsis[]

History[]

Beast Sword Man Lance

Young Lance

Lance, during his youth, was made a sword, the Beast Sword, by Galein Musica. After he was handed the sword, by Galein Musica himself, he kills Galein's whole family, stating that he wanted to "try out" the sword. This leaves Galein Musica scarred for life as he sees his own sword being used to kill his entire family. Nonetheless, Lance uses Galein in the future for his personal ambitions.[7]

Lance arc[]

Lance appears

Lance's killing desire

Lance questions his subordinates to what is keeping Bis from returning, but, after they tell him that Bis does not have Rave within his possession, he calls him a useless pig, and also asks his men if they at least killed the heir, to which they respond negatively. Lance, picking up his sword and getting ready to leave the building, states that if he wants the job done right, he has to himself, with a killing thrill.[8]

Lance takes Elie hostage

Lance takes Elie hostage

Moments later Lance heads to a hardware store in which Elie is currently located, and takes her captive when the Rave Master and Hamrio Musica enter the store. Lance introduces himself to Haru and the others, and threatens Haru by telling him that if he does not give him Rave within said time he will kill Elie; even if he is just a second late. Lance swings his sword and makes animal-like figures appear in front of Haru, giving Lance a chance to escape, leaving the others worried about Elie.[9] Back at his headquarters, Lance holds his sword to Elie's neck, excited for the hour and a half to be over so he can kill her.[10]

Lance slashes Bis

Lance slashes Bis

Lance sits on his "throne" as Elie suggest that they should play a game together, to kill time. Lance, quickly, gets up and puts his sword across Elie's throat, telling her that she is getting on his nerves and that, apparently, she does not know what her situation is. As Elie explains that she is bored a knife comes from the other side of the room and releases Elie from the chains, Lance looks back and sees Hamrio, and asks him where the Rave Master is, since he has no business with him. Lance tells Bis, one of his man, to kill Hamrio whilst he waits for the Rave Master. Not long after, Lance slashes Bis from behind, stating that he was dying to fight Hamrio and because Bis could not defeat his opponent. Lance prepares himself to fight Hamrio.[11]

The Beast Sword

Lance uses his true power

Lance sends a group of illusions towards Hamrio, not hurting Hamrio; since he knows that they are illusions, but quickly, using the smoke as a cover, Lance cuts Hamrio with his sword. However, in the middle of their fight, Lance heads towards Elie with his sword. He points it at her and states that the time is up, but before he can kill her, Haru comes crashing down through the roof and stops Lance's attack. Haru pushes Lance back with the force of his attack and tells him that he will win this fight, not surprising Lance at all. Lance looks at Haru's sword and asks him if that is the powerful Ten Commandments he heard about, to which Haru states that he will defeat him with that sword. Lance forms an illusion but before he is able to release it, Haru intersects his attack, shocking Lance. Haru keeps delivering multiple blows to Lance until Lance uses his sword's true power, forming a dragon.[12]

Lance attacks Haru with his sword

Lance attacks Haru

Lance, beginning to explain to Haru why he can create illusions without the need to swing his Beast sword, sends his dragon towards Haru with amazing speed, delivering a fatal wound to Haru. Lance launches forward and attacks Haru with many harsh blows, pushing him back. Haru, however, uses his Explosion to attack and destroy all of Lance's illusions, shocking the others and exciting Lance. Lance, eager to test out the new Rave Master's strength, sends more illusions towards him and states that with the power of his Dark Bring, Real Moment, he can make illusions real. He pierces Haru with his sword, but it barely manages to hit him. Haru grabs the sword and tells Lance that he is going down for killing Musica's family with the same sword Galein made, causing Lance to laugh. Lance moves back as Haru furiously attacks him, until Plue gets in front of Haru, making Haru stop his attacks. Lance looks at Plue and throws him up in the air as he sends a real illusion to eat him, worrying Haru.[13]

Galein interferes

Lance held down by Galein

Lance laughs as Plue is about to get eaten by his real illusion but it disappointed to see him escape from the danger by getting stuck in the ceiling with his nose, but quickly states that Plue isn't even worth killing. He is then interrupted by Haru who tells him that he now knows the weakness to his illusions, not shaking Lance's confidence in the least but delighting Haru's companions. Lance listens as Haru explains that his illusions can only be real until they bite, thus enhancing its name; Real 'moment'. However, Lance is still confident and prepares himself to deliver another attack by making many illusions appear around him. He sends them all to Haru but Haru manages to defeat a few with his Screen Bomb, but not all. Just as Haru is about to be attacked by another illusion, Lance is grabbed by Galein Musica. As Haru and Galein talk, Lance picks his sword up and gets ready to attack Galein, but his hand is grabbed by a chain that came from the roof where Plue landed, giving Haru a chance to attack. However, Haru refuses, much to Lance's luck. Nonetheless, Galein tells him to go through him. Haru runs towards them, worying Lance.[14]

Lance's defeat

Lance admits defeat

Lance sees Haru jump on Galein's back and aim for his Dark Bring, causing Lance to scream in anger telling Haru to stop; which he doesn't. Lance looks at Haru and tells him that he has lost, putting his sword down, he gives him, shocking his workers. Lance begs for mercy, stating that without his Dark Bring he cannot kill anyone, but Galein tells Haru not to trust him. Lance hears Haru say that the fight has ended as he stays still until Galein punches him for all he made him suffer. Haru turns around, ready to leave, but Lance gets up and rushes towards him with his sword in his possession. However, Haru easily defeats him with one slash and destroys his sword.[15]

Moments later the Imperial Army comes to Lance's headquarter and takes him under arrest, along with his men.[16]

Dark Bring and Abilities[]

Master Swordsman: Lance

Lance

Lance and his sword

Beast Sword: A sword that was forged by Galein Musica to be given to Lance. It is a large, thin, silver sword with a circle at the bottom center, with the famous Musica mark underneath it. The brown, thick cross-guard has many oval-shaped, yellow, figures going around it. The grip has many lines adorning the hilt. The sword's pommel is shaped like a sharp point. The sword is also adorned with a straight hilt.[17] This sword also gives Lance the power to create illusions such as lions and other animals. However, the illusions and the sword do have a weakness. If not completely swung, the illusions will not appear.[18]

Hundred Fangs

Lance's hundred beasts

  • Strength Enhancement: Lance has shown that this sword amplifies his strength to great measures, even granting him the ability to match against the famous Ten Commandments forged by the same blacksmith.
  • Beast IIIusions: Lance is able to make illusions of multiple, or as many as he wishes, lions and wolfs with sharp teeth, and look identical to the real thing. He uses this ability to gain a chance to escape if need be or for sneak attacks.[19]
  • Dragon IIIusion: With the power of the Dark Bring Real Moment and the Beast Sword, Lance is able to make an illusion of a big, green, ferocious looking dragon. Unlike his fake illusions, this one can cause physical damage to his opponent. The dragon also seems to have tremendously fast speed.[20]
  • Hundred Beast Fangs: Lance creates multiple real illusions of a beast stampede such as lions and wolfs, and sends them towards his opponents.[21]
Beast Sword

Lance's Real Moment

Real Moment: A Dark Bring that has the ability to turn illusions into real objects for a moment that's embedded in the Beast Sword. In combination with Lance's Beast Sword, which creates illusions of wolves, lions and other vicious creatures when swung, not only can it allow the illusions to manifest without need of swinging its blade but they also inflict physical damage even while Lance is holding the Beast Sword stationary, thereby eliminating the Sword's blatant weakness. Its weakness lies in the fact that the illusions can only be substantial for a set amount of time at the moment they attack before they dissipate back into nothingness.
