Art style: Anime.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered — Emperor Kuro, a tall, broad-shouldered, imposing young ruler in his late twenties. Sharp, handsome angular face with pale cold skin, piercing crimson eyes, a cruel confident smirk, and sleek jet-black hair swept back with a few strands over his brow. He wears ornate black imperial armor layered with dark silver trim, a high regal collar, and a long tattered black cape trailing behind. One gauntleted hand grips a massive dark greatsword planted point-down, while writhing magical black chains coil around his other arm and snake across the floor. Cracked obsidian throne-hall of a ruined palace behind him, faint violet-black energy radiating from the chains. Pointed black armored sabatons on his feet. Towering, menacing, commanding stance.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image in the following art style:
2D anime cartoon animation — cel-shaded illustration, bold clean black outlines, flat anime shading, hand-drawn anime look with anime facial features and stylised non-realistic rendering of objects, food and environments. NOT photorealistic, NOT live-action, NOT a 3D render, NOT real footage.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
