**Physical Appearance:** Hearts presents as a humanoid with blonde hair, red eyes, pointed ears, and pale skin featuring yellow facial markings. His initial attire comprises a black coat, orange visor, red gloves, distinctive arm armor, red pants, and boots. Following defeat and imprisonment in Hell, his appearance shifts: his hair becomes disheveled, he wears a dark-blue prison uniform, and a halo manifests, confirming his deceased status. Later, within the Pseudo Universe, he adopts a crimson fur-collared trench coat paired with black pants.
**Background:** Hearts' origins remain largely undefined, though he developed an intense hatred for divine beings, specifically Zeno, due to their arbitrary dominion over mortal lives and realities. This hatred crystallized into his objective to eliminate all gods. His formidable power led Fu to select him as a warrior confined within the Prison Planet's Core Area. There, Hearts ascended to leadership of the Core Area Warriors, a group including Fused Zamasu, Cumber, Oren, Kamin, and Lagss, unified by their mission to dismantle the divine hierarchy.
**Personality & Traits:** Self-righteous and driven by a professed desire to liberate mortals from divine oppression, Hearts believes gods stifle true freedom. However, he demonstrates hypocrisy by willingly destroying planets and killing innocents to further his goals, rationalizing such destruction as necessary "nourishment" for the multiverse; he openly acknowledges this contradiction when challenged. He values comrades like Kamin and Oren, vowing their sacrifices would hold meaning. Hearts exhibits pronounced confidence and composure, rarely unsettled by adversaries, and enjoys challenging combat, showing respect for powerful opponents like Jiren or Goku. While his arrogance lessens after his initial defeat, his disdain for gods persists. Later actions reveal a shift, as he actively protects mortals, such as preventing Meta-Cooler from killing a defeated tournament opponent.
**Abilities:** Hearts possesses advanced ki manipulation, flight, and teleportation. His signature abilities revolve around gravity manipulation: he generates "Gravity Cages" capable of immobilizing targets with immense force, annihilating them and absorbing their energy into the Universe Seed. These cages can expand to planetary scale and eliminate immortal beings. Additional techniques include Gravity Burst, Continuous Energy Bullet, and Gravity Finale. He also utilizes "Heart Reading" to access opponents' thoughts and predict their moves, a power countered by mental emptiness. Fusing with the Universe Seed transforms him into the "Ultimate Godslayer," drastically amplifying his power and enabling the creation of massive constructs like the God Meteor. Post-death, he gains immortality and full self-sustenance.
