Taizoo

"Hey, this isn't a festival for kids! Don't you dare bring the level of this tournament down! I don't know what you're saying... What I'm saying is, get lost before you get hurt!"

- Taizoo threatening Meliodas to leave the tournament in Come Together! Festival Bastards!

Taizoo is a mountain bandit-turned merchant, and a three-time champion of Byzel's annual fight festival.

Appearance
Taizoo is a tall, very muscular man with a shaved or bald head. His attire is similar to a boxer's, with no upper body clothing, trousers, and gloves without fingers.

Personality
Taizoo is very irascible and often uses violence on individuals that anger him.

Ongoing Arc
When Meliodas and King enter the fight festival in Byzel, Taizoo, believing that the two are children, perceives their joining the tournament to be them lowering its level, which angers him, with him lifting both of them with a single hand and commanding them to leave before they are hurt. Hauser, however, easily lowers Taizoo's hand, while stating that age doesn't matter in a festival, resulting in the ex-mountain bandit having a grudge on the Holy Knight.

During the preliminary, he is seen lifting other fighters with ease and flinging them off the ring, and smirking as the audience cheers for him. After it ends, he is shown to be among the eight fighters who have survived the preliminary and have advanced to the main tournament, and after the drawing the lots that will determine his opponent in first round, is assigned to fight against Hauser. Taizoo is later seen during his battle with Hauser, which is soon revealed to have resulted in Taizoo losing heavily against an obviously much stronger Hauser but continuing to fight due to his ego, despite Hauser having used only a very tiny portion of his power, knowing that if he overused his strength even a little, he would kill Taizoo. As he persistently attacks Hauser, he is requested to surrender, with Hauser also adding that if was for his own benefit; Taizoo, however, refuses to do so. When he charges at Hauser once again, the Holy Knight, stating that while he does not want to use his abilities on an ordinary person, letting the battle continue any more would be bad for his opponent, uses his abilities to create what appears to be a small tornado around his arms, and sends the former mountain bandit flying out of the ring with a punch that is strengthened by said ability.

Later, after Meliodas and Ban's battle, Taizoo, upon waking from his unconsciousness, discovers Cain to have carried him from the area where he landed following his defeat. Cain commends Taizoo for putting up a good fight, but the former mountain bandit retorts that it was certainly not so, and he had, from the beginning, known of the difference in his and Hauser's strengths, and of his opponent being a Holy Knight. As the battle continues, and Love Helm comments that Diane can only defend herself against Hauser's attacks, Taizoo commends her for even doing that, and adds that if she is caught within the twisters even a bit, she will be defeated, and that Hauser's attack was not something an ordinary human could withstand. Cain replies to Taizoo's statement that it was as if the defeated fighter has had an unpleasant experience with a Holy Knight; the latter admits to have had one with a Holy Knight from Danafor when he was young, and still a bandit.

With Matrona cornered, Taizoo commends her for having been able to evade Hauser for so long, but is then extremely shocked when she blocks Hauser's attack with ease.

Abilities/Equipment
Taizoo, due to his huge muscular stature, is much stronger compared to an ordinary human. However, he is still no match for a Holy Knight of Hauser's caliber.
