Sumo, also known as the Boy, is the protagonist of Final Fantasy Adventure and its direct remake Adventures of Mana.

Background

Final Fantasy Adventure & Adventures of Mana

Originally an enslaved gladiator of the Glaive Empire, the crimson-clad youth is thrust into a quest to protect the sacred Tree of Mana from his overseers and thereby honor the last wishes of his fellow gladiator and close friend Will.

Sword of Mana

Born and raised in Granz Realm, the Hero had a happy childhood in which he was well provided for both financially, being the son of Consul Hermann, and spiritually, listening to the legends of the world as spun in song by Lord Granz. However, one dark day, his parents were accosted by Prince Stroud, who had taken on the moniker of "Dark Lord", for hiding the (supposed) sole survivor of his massacre of the Mana Village. While his parents stayed behind to try and reason with Dark Lord (a tactic that resulted in their deaths), the Hero fled alongside the girl. Unfortunately, he twisted his ankle and, telling the Heroine to run ahead, was eventually captured and thrown into the dungeons of Granz Castle. There, he was forced to become a gladiator-slave for the Realm, battling monsters daily just to stay alive.

History

Final Fantasy Adventure & Adventures of Mana

Sumo starts out as a gladiator being enslaved in the Dutchy of Glaive and forced to fight exotic beasts for the entertainment of the Dark Lord. On day, fed up of seeing countless prisoners and friends felling in battle, Sumo succeeds in escaping the arena after listening to his dying friend Will entrusting him to seek Sir Bogard near the Great Waterfall. He overhears a conversation outside between Dark Lord and his assistant Julius and is almost immediately spotted by the lord himself. The young knight tries to defend himself, but is ultimately sent down the waterfall by the evil ruler's sheer strength.

“The son of Hermann, the consul of Granz Realm, escaped from Dark Lord's grip when the villain stormed the consul's home. Ten years have passed. Now the hero seeks revenge.”
