Description
Pol T. is a supporting character in Petals of Reincarnation who appears as a reincarnated figure based on the historical Cambodian leader Pol Pot. He is an adult male with short white hair and yellow eyes, and he belongs to a group known as sinner-personalities, reincarnated individuals who carry particularly dark pasts. He was among the first of these sinners collected by the warlord Xiang Yu, and he serves as one of the Five Tiger Generals, a unit of elite fighters within Xiang Yu's forces.
In terms of personality, Pol T. is defined by near-total silence. He never speaks and shows almost no visible emotion, which makes him appear as a pure force of violence and destruction. Despite this intimidating exterior, he possesses a quiet gentleness and a sincere concern for genuinely kind people. His compassion is selective: he judges others by their humanity rather than by their allegiance, and those he recognizes as truly human are treated with unexpected mercy.
His motivations are rooted in loyalty and a personal code of honor. He follows Xiang Yu without question as a member of the sinner army, and he is deeply bonded to his frequent partner, A. Hitler. Pol T. acts as Hitler's legs and fists on the battlefield, carrying the physically impaired Hitler while executing the tactical directions Hitler provides. Their coordination is almost wordless and extremely effective, combining Hitler's analytical ability to read and predict enemies with Pol T.'s overwhelming physical power. This partnership defines his role in the story: he is the enforcer and the embodiment of brute force for Xiang Yu's faction, defeating many great figures through sheer destructive capability.
His most notable ability is the talent called Fruit of Corruption, also referred to as the Killing Field. This power generates fruit-like objects that rot anything they touch, including inorganic materials, the bodies of other reincarnated figures, and even manifestations of their talents. By scattering these fruits across a wide area, Pol T. can transform an entire battlefield into a lethal zone where contact means destruction. In addition to this ability, he has extraordinary natural physical capabilities. He can dodge surprise attacks with minimal movement, catch incoming strikes with his bare hands, and endure attacks from enemy talents without serious injury, allowing him to overpower opponents through raw physicality even when his talent is not the deciding factor.
His development is most visible during his battle against Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein. Fighting alongside Hitler, Pol T. overwhelms these powerful opponents and defeats them, but in doing so he perceives the humanity within them and chooses not to kill them. This moment reveals that his silence and violence mask a personal moral standard. Afterward, he and Hitler voluntarily submit to Pol T.'s own corrosion and die together, an act that reflects their shared pride and their refusal to compromise their principles. Later in the story, Pol T. is temporarily brought back through a combination of multiple talents, including those associated with Robert Cornish and Mary Shelley, allowing him to take part in conflicts once more despite the temporary nature of his return. Through both his brutal reputation and his quiet sense of honor, he stands as a figure defined by the contrast between overwhelming destructive power and unexpected compassion.
