Benares Guide at PopRot

Spoiler note: This profile discusses Benares’s role across the original 3×3 Eyes OVA and broad mythology setup.

Who Is Benares?

Benares is the most dangerous active enemy in the OVA, a powerful Wu tied to Kaiyanwang who wants Pai/Sanjiyan power back inside his master’s orbit.

Arrogant, patient, and terrifyingly certain of his superiority; he treats humans and lesser demons as pieces on a board.

Immortality as a Wu, demonic transformation, sorcery, commanding monsters, overwhelming physical power, and long-range pursuit.

He gives the short OVA a real main-threat shape, connecting individual attacks to the larger mythology of Sanjiyan power.

Anime: 3×3 Eyes
Core theme: immortality is useful in a fight, but it also turns identity, consent, and humanity into story stakes.
