Papi Lio

Papi Lio is the anime protagonist of an anime where he eats butterflies and gets powers Papi Lio is an old man who starts out very physically strong, but as his anime series went on, he became physically weaker and became more reliant on using the abilities the butterflies gave him.

These butterflies secrete a natural alcohol based chemical that accellerates various muscle growth as well as altering human DNA. Papi has an alchohol problem that makes him addicted to eating the butterflies.

Papi Lio has many enemies in his anime, based on various natural predators of butterflies, such as frogs, birds, wasps, ants, and dragonflies. The frog one is gay.

Papi Lio's family life is very good. He has a loving wife and two children, who he never beat even when they definitely deserved it. Unfortunately, his substance abuse made him wildly pacifistic, and he went on a peaceful rage where he drove out into the pleasant Butter Meadows and pulled out his legendary Cobalt Net. He's been training in the art of Leidoptery for the last 10 years in this secluded meadow, learning everything he could about natures majestic winged beauties.

It was within the first year of his studies that he first discovered the innate abilities the butterfly secretions granted to the human body when ingested. Training and studying he figured out different abilities and mastered their power, but soon discovered the butterflies were going extinct.

His research papers hit the world by storm, and soon the various enemies of the butterfly came to eat them and absorb the powers for themselves, even the gay frog one. Especially the gay frog one. Now it's up to Papi Lio to defend the swarm armed with nothing more than his butterfly net and his collection of helpful butterfly companions.

Will Papi Lio get over his crippling chemical addictions? No. Oh well.

Trivia - Papi Lio gets his name from Papilio, the latin word for butterflies
