Tyr defeated by Squalo
Tyr was the previous Sword Emperor and Varia’s Leader before Xanxus. However, he was defeated in a battle with Squalo. With this, Squalo was declared the new Sword Emperor, and to secure his seat, he defeated 100 people in a row, where every battle was filmed and the set was later given to Takeshi Yamamoto. For an unknown reason, Xanxus became Varia’s Leader instead of Squalo, who defeated the former Leader of Varia. He had only one hand, and because of this, Squalo cut off his own hand as well to further understand Tyr's fighting style.
