Heavenly Warriors
Profile
The Heavenly Warriors are Enel’s army — the ~50-soldier military force he brought when he seized Upper Yard roughly six years ago, sitting atop the Survival-Game hierarchy alongside his three vassal Priests (Satori et al.). The Japanese term (神の軍隊 / “God’s Army”) frames them as the divine army of the false Kami.
Keep distinct: the rank-and-file Heavenly Warriors vs. the separate Priests (the Satori line). Per the 0256 Survival-Game tally, Enel counted “50 Heavenly Warriors + 3 vassals (Priests) + Commander Yama.”
