Appearance

Soyuz's Worker File.

Soyuz is a bald man with large, round eyes and a distinct cross-shaped scar on top of his head. He is shirtless, wears a large shield on his back held by a rope strap that is slung around his shoulder, and baggy pants that reach only past his knees.

Personality

Soyuz is a quiet and reserved man living in Ishigami VIllage. He is rather shy when it comes to women, incapable of resisting the charms of Amaryllis, and becoming incredibly flustered around Kohaku when she changes.

Being royalty himself, he has his father's kindness and wisdom, a natural leader just like him.

Abilities and Skills

Photographic Memory

Soyuz seems to have an incredible memory, able to remember things from even when he was a baby. When searching for the petrified people who fell into the sea, he was able to remember where the people were thrown from and the way they were moved by the currents, implying he has a photographic memory. He also managed to memorize the formula of the Revival Fluid in a short amount of time. It is later revealed that this is because he inherited his mother's great memory.

History

Little known about Soyuz’s childhood life, he was a child of the leader of the Petrification Kingdom.

During Ibara’s hostile takeover on his home kingdom, he made an attempt to kill the infant Soyuz, however, the said infant was saved by a young woman who was loyal to his father and ended up being framed by Ibara as a kidnapper attempting to kidnap Soyuz. Thanks to the woman's sacrifice, Soyuz ended up in Ishigami Village safely.

Plot

Treasure Island Arc

During the Treasure Island Arc, he reveals to the others that he was actually from outside Ishigami Village, having drifted there when he was a baby. He then leads the others to the island where he came from.

He and Ryusui look for the petrified who were thrown into the ocean. With help from a depetrified Taiju, they manage to find all the people who were tossed into the ocean.

Once Ibara is defeated, he decides to stay behind and become the new head of the Petrification kingdom. He tells Senku that he remembers how to make the revival formula and will be reviving the remaining petrified islanders. He asks Kirisame to take his place within the Kingdom of Science.
