Yama

Yama is a Skypiean and the commander of God's Warriors, under Eneru. A large, imposing fellow, Yama is merciless in battle, defeating the famed Shandian warrior Genbou in Eneru's survival Game. Coming off of this victory with an air of overconfidence, he made the mistake of provoking the ire of Nico Robin when he destroyed the ancient village of Shandora, landing the commander a crushing defeat at the hands of the archaeologist.

Personality
Yama is fanatically loyal to Eneru, going so far as to reprimand Shura, Ohm, and Gedatsu for fighting in his presence. He displays an amount of brutality in battle, as evidenced during his fight with Genbou. He also seems to have little respect for the world around him, as seen when he destroyed the ruins of Shandora during his fight with Robin. He has also acted cowardly on occasion, begging Robin to spare him after his defeat. He has the interesting habit of saying the sound "meh" often

Abilities
Yama wields the Ten-Fold Axe (10連斬撃 (１０れんアックス) Jyuuren Akusu), a sash with ten Axe Dials sewn to it. Apart from his axe, Yama is a capable fighter, his style mainly focused on his massive weight.

Survival Game
Yama first appears to tell off the three remaining priests for fighting in Eneru's presence. He is not seen again until the Survival Game, in which he fights against Genbou. After Genbou easily defeats Yama's underlings, the commander himself steps into the fray. Though Genbou fought hard, Yama emerged triumphant, stabbing Genbou with his Ten-Fold Axe.

Shandora and Robin
Yama later attacks Robin, who is in the process of studying the remains of Shandora. During the fight, Yama did not notice (or did not care) that he was destroying the ruins. Robin, infuriated by this disregard of history, proceeds to go all out, employing such painful methods as slamming Yama into a tree and flipping his Ten-Fold Axe to hit him. After this beating, Yama begged and apologized to Robin, saying that he now understands the value of history. Robin ignored his plea, stating that what he did was still inexcusable. Robin then broke Yama's fingers with her extra arms and used Cien Fleur: Delphinium to hurl the commander off a cliff and down to a lower level of Upper Yard. After Eneru was deposed, it is unknown what happened to Yama.

Anime and Manga Influences
Yama continues the tradition of naming the enemies of Skypiea after ideas from Asian religion. Yama's namesake is the Hindu god of the dead.
