Tot Musica

Tot Musica is a monstrous being known as the "Demon King of Songs", which was sealed under Elegia by a past user of the Uta Uta no Mi. It is able to be summoned when the user of the Uta Uta no Mi sings its namesake song. It is the secondary antagonist of One Piece Film: Red.

Appearance
When first summoned in its First Movement form, Tot Musica appeared as a massive humanoid figure with no bottom half, with large yellow hair and a short beard. Its face was white and ghoulish in appearance, with a long nose and a mouth filled with fangs and constantly twisted in a grin. Its right eye was a dark hole, while its left was a glowing red X. Its extremely long arms resembled piano keys. It wore a large top hat and was draped in a dark cloak, and had flaming skulls floating around its neck like a necklace.

Its Second Movement form retains main traits of its First Movement form, except it is larger and has green hair, claws at the ends of its fingers, sharper teeth, and a crocodile-like hat.

After fully absorbing Uta into itself and drawing further from her power, Tot Musica transformed into an even more abstract Third Movement form. Its cloak vanished, and it manifested a bottom half resembling pudding, an additional pair of arms, and large feathered wings. Its fangs grew sharper, its hair increased in size, and its hat changed into a crown-like form bedazzled with red jewels and large golden crocodiles. In this form, what was once a grin changed into a permanent scowl.

Personality
Being a mindless being of destruction, Tot Musica shows little personality. However, it was shown to actively seek out Uta Uta no Mi users in order to trick them into summoning it.

Abilities and Powers
Tot Musica is incredibly powerful, as it caused the destruction of Elegia after being summoned by Uta. It has the ability to manifest in both the Uta World created by the Uta Uta no Mi user and the real world. The only way to defeat Tot Musica is with simultaneous, targeted attacks from both the Uta World and the real world; however, like the Uta World, it would be resealed upon the Uta Uta no Mi user falling asleep.

It was shown to have some level of influence on the real world even when sealed away, as the sheet music for its song was able to fly out of the ruins beneath Elegia on its own to find Uta Uta no Mi users.

Past
At some point in history, the song used to summon Tot Musica was written down and sealed away deep in the ruins beneath the kingdom of Elegia.

12 years ago, the sheet music for Tot Musica's song was released from its seal when Uta began singing during the Red Hair Pirates' visit to Elegia. Floating up to the room she was singing in, Uta sang the notes aloud, summoning the demon king. As a result, it went on a rampage of destruction, killing nearly all the people on the island. However, Shanks and the Red Hair Pirates were able to stall it long enough for Uta to fall asleep, sealing it again.

Following Tot Musica's disappearance, the sheet music was hidden away by Gordon, who did not have the resolve to dispose of it outright as a lover of music. Uta later discovered it sometime before her concert on Elegia.

One Piece Film: Red
Tot Musica was summoned by Uta once more during her concert on Elegia as a final attempt to protect her vision of a perfect world. Although its strength was immense, a combined attack in both the Uta World and real world on each of its body parts from the Straw Hat Pirates, Red Hair Pirates, Heart Pirates, Jellyfish Pirates, Bartolomeo, Charlotte Oven, Charlotte Brûlée, Charlotte Katakuri, Helmeppo, and Koby eventually weakened it, allowing a final attack from Luffy and Shanks to defeat it completely.

However, Tot Musica's power had already captured the spirits of those in the Uta World, preventing them from returning to the real world. It was not until Uta used her singing to reverse this that they were able to return. The sheet music for Tot Musica's song was then once again taken by Gordon.
