Rista was a male lion from the Sabi Sand Game Reserve in South Africa. You may also know him by another name: one of the Mapogo Lion Coalition.
This powerful coalition of six male lions was famous for its relentless expansion and brutal territorial wars. At its peak, it ruled the entire reserve, earning the name "Sabi Sand's Dark Age."
Rista was the second-born. He and his younger brother, Pretty Boy, were twins, but their personalities were completely different.
Rista was the only member to defeat the eldest brother in a head-on fight.
Pretty Boy, on the other hand, was the eldest brother's most trusted younger sibling.
In 2010, Rista and Pretty Boy both died in the Battle of Elephant Plains.
Reincarnated as a human, Rista goes looking for Pretty Boy while making a living playing soccer. He even gets himself a dad: Cristiano Ronaldo.
CR7, the Premier League's top star at the time. Once Rista approves of someone's credentials, just as he approved of the eldest brother, Enge, he has to acknowledge the strongest one, then beat him!
Pairing: Jude Bellingham
