Pereza

Pereza (Spanish for Sloth) was a and a general of the Legión de la Oscuridad, serving under Tinieblas.

Appearance
Pereza is a large and bulky humanoid Hollow, who bears some resemblance to a gorilla. He has very long, muscular arms, and his skin is dull blue in colour.

Personality
True to his nickname, Pereza is highly sluggish and languid. He speaks in a melancholic, protracted manner and usually behaves in an uhurried way.

Moreover, he seems to be overly exhausted even by the simplest actions, and he frequently complains about his fatigue. Notably, he considers combat particularly troublesome, yet he does not hesitate to fight when given orders to do so.

Whilst languorous most of the time, he becomes surprisingly fast and somewhat ruthless in combat.

Plot
Pereza, along with his six "siblings", has been personally chosen by Tinieblas as one of the candidates to become Vasto Lorde. He has been trained and nurtured together with the others, and eventually has achieved the pinnacle of natural Hollow evolution.

Due to his languid nature, he remains at the top of La Aguja Blanca even after being informed about the intruders. Eventually, Captain Haruka Mewokuramasu encounters him on her way to Tinieblas's throne room.

The two talk briefly and the fight commences soon afterward. Initially, Pereza holds the upper hand, surprising the Shinigami with his deceleration field and astonoshing speed. He withstands an onslaught of Shikai techniques and low-level Hadō spells and presses Mewokuramasu with his powerful blasts.

As the duel continues, Haruka attempts to find Pereza's weakness, but the Vasto Lorde leaves her little time to deliberate upon the subject. However, she manages to temporarily constrain him with a Shikai technique, and then proceeds to realise her new plan. Pereza is shocked as she finally succeeds to pierce his defences, and despite his efforts to finish her off quickly, he ultimately dies to an extremely condensed Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō, which evaporates his body completely.

Powers and Abilities
Sloth: Pereza's signature skill is his deceleration field, a passive form of defence which impedes all physical attacks and disperses energy blasts. It requires no conscious thought to maintain. Still, it may be pierced by a strong and highly concentrated technique.

Enhanced Strength: Thanks to his imposing physique, Pereza can deliver fairly hard punches.





Notably, he has been able to continuously take a considerably fast opponent by surprise thanks to outbursts of exceptional speed.

It has a light blue tint.
