Benkei - The Warrior Monk

Musashibō Benkei was a warrior monk of medieval Japan — a towering figure known for his unmatched strength, unshakable loyalty, and fierce sense of honor.
He first lived as a fighter of the temples, collecting the swords of warriors he defeated.
But everything changed when he crossed blades with Minamoto no Yoshitsune — and lost.
Instead of resentment, he offered devotion.
Benkei became Yoshitsune’s most loyal guardian, his shield against armies, betrayal, and fate.
He stood his ground until the very end — dying on his feet, still holding the bridge.
