Cao Cao

Cao Cao is a descendant of the historical Cao Cao and the former leader of the Khaos Brigade’s Hero Faction. He is the wielder of the True Longinus, regarded as the first and most powerful Sacred Gear. Following Sun Wukong stepping down from his role, Cao Cao later becomes a vanguard under Indra. Cao Cao is known for his strong charisma and strategic thinking, allowing him to gather and lead individuals with Sacred Gears into a unified group. He places great importance on human potential and believes that individuals with unique abilities should strive to reach their limits. His outlook is heavily influenced by his heritage, leading him to see himself as someone with a significant role in shaping the balance between humans and supernatural beings. He possesses a high level of confidence in his own abilities, often approaching challenges with the belief that he can overcome even the strongest opponents. At times, this confidence develops into overconfidence, which can affect his judgment in critical moments. He may become visibly frustrated when situations do not unfold as expected. Despite this, Cao Cao is capable of recognizing strength and potential in others, showing respect toward individuals he considers worthy, including Issei Hyoudou, Vali Lucifer, and Azazel. He is also thoughtful, often analyzing situations deeply when outcomes differ from his expectations. Cao Cao places importance on the concept of purpose and destiny, believing that encounters between powerful individuals occur for meaningful reasons. Over time, he begins to question his own role and the true meaning of being a “hero,” especially after reflecting on his past actions. Following these reflections, Cao Cao undergoes noticeable personal growth, becoming more cooperative and willing to work alongside former adversaries when facing larger threats. He contributes to efforts aimed at maintaining stability and protecting others.
