Yama

Yama is a Bilkan and the commander of God's Enforcers, under Enel. A large, imposing fellow, Yama is merciless in battle, defeating the famed Shandian warrior Genbou in Enel'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 Enel, going so far as to reprimand Shura, Ohm, and Gedatsu for fighting in his presence. He displays quite an amount of brutality in battle. His ruthless fighting style gives him little respect for the world around him, as seen when he destroyed the ruins of Shandora during his fight with Robin. He has the interesting habit of saying the sound "meh" often.

Abilities and Powers
Despite his massive build, Yama is very acrobatic, agile and fast. His comparatively tiny limbs are very strong as well. He was able to simply kick an iron ball fired from Genbou's Bazooka back to him, and was able to smash right through the ruins of Shandora without pain, similar to a juggernaut. Yama wields the Ten-Fold Axe (10連斬撃 (１０れんアックス) Jūren [Akkusu]), 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, and belly dropping people with his ten Axe Dials.

Attacks

 * Axe Mountain (斬撃満点 [アックスマウンテン] Akkusu Maunten): Yama stretches the Ten-Fold Axe (a strip of cloth with ten Axe Dials sewn onto it like buttons) out in front of himself and flies toward his opponent. When the axe makes contact, the opponent is stabbed by a sharp burst of air. This attack's weakness is that the dials must be on the side of the sash facing the opponent, otherwise, they can injure the user as well.
 * Stomach Mountain (腹部満点 [ストマックマウンテン], Sutomakku Maunten): Yama does a simple body slam which, given his weight, can be devastating.
 * Punch Mountain (拳満点 [パンチマウンテン], Panchi Maunten): A simple punch, that again, can be quite powerful due to Yama's strength and weight.
 * Drop Mountain (落下満点 [ドロップマウンテン], Doroppu Maunten): Yama leaps into the air, flips several times, and delivers a flying drop kick to the enemy.

Survival Game
Yama first appears to tell off the three remaining priests for fighting in Enel'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. Then, when Yama tried to grab Robin, she broke his 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 and holds him in a lock position increasing the potential impact, then uses "Seis Fleur: Clutch" to snap him before he crashes into the ground. After Enel 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 Dharmic religions. Yama, as well as Japanese for 'mountain', is also the name of the Hindu king of the dead.
