| ~ Bakuzan revealing his true nature. |
Bakuzan is a minor antagonist in the manga/anime series One-Punch Man, serving as one of the main antagonists in the Super Fight Arc.
He was a martial artist who practiced in the arts of the Dark Hell Assassination, known for using punishing techniques. He has fought in the Super Fight Tournament over the years to the point where he gained fame and earned himself the title as the Strongest Man in the History of Super Fight.
He was voiced by Taro Yamaguchi in Japanese, and Bill Butts in English.
Personality[]
Bakuzan is infamously known for his barbaric nature when entering in martial arts. He gained his reputation whenever he performed his brutal techniques on his opponents, which usually result in one sided matches. He has a vastly different view on martial arts than from what one would normally view it as, believing that taking part in martial arts places your life on the line instead of being competition.
Bakuzan takes great pride of himself as he looks down upon those that are weaker than him. Despite this, he holds great ambition of seeking to become stronger until he becomes the strongest being on the planet. His arrogance, however, makes him come off being quite incompetent and would ultimately lead him to his death.
When Bakuzan transformed into a monster, his bloodthirsty nature only evolved him into a more psychopathic and sadistic being, as he takes pleasure in torturing those weaker than him. Bakuzan initially seek to defeat everyone to prove he was the strongest, but upon learning from Gouketsu that there were monsters far stronger than him, he ultimately gave up on that goal and instead seek into a hobby of brutalizing lesser beings.
Biography[]
Bakuzan was once the two-time winner of the Super Fight tournament, thus earning himself his title.
On Z-City, he once again participated for the Super Fight tournament, being his third time in joining. While a news of the Monster Association caused the staff to decide to evacuate, he disliked the proposition and ensuring to them that he will take care of any monsters. Eventually facing a Saitama disguised as Charanko as the crowd and commentators watch in excitement. Bakuzan warns Saitama to prepare for him, but falls on deaf ears as the hero is busy tying his belt. Enraged, Bakuzan then claims he is "dead" before the match begins.
Dazed by the hero's lack of reaction, he thinks that the hero was untrained and insulting him for a fight. He then agrees to demonstrate his strength to Saitama, however when Bakuzan touched his head, Saitama panics and performed an uppercut to the martial artist, leaving Saitama victorious to the fight.
Later on, when the Super Fight tournament is about to conclude, The Three Crows and Gouketsu arrived, wanting the martial artists to become a monster. During the bloody skirmish, Suiryu asks Bakuzan to help him, but Bakuzan refuses, knowing that he is stronger than he is and instead chooses to become a monster by consuming numerous Monster Cells, however he loses consciousness as a result, as much as to Gouketsu's note that he was greedy for consuming all.
When Suiryu was about to flee, Bakuzan reawakens as a monster and attacks Suiryu. Instantly becoming a Dragon-level threat, Bakuzan gloats himself into becoming the strongest monster and fought Gouketsu, only for him to get defeated easily. Gouketsu told him that there are many other stronger monsters than him, warning him about the Hero Association before heading to the Z-City ruins.
Alone with Suiryu, Bakuzan then reveals to Suiryu that he enjoys torturing weaker people before he began tormenting him both physically and mentally. By doing so, he continues in torturing the unconscious Snakebite Sneck to give Suiryu even more despair. Saitama then arrives to save his life, however both appears to have forgotten who each other is.
Upon realizing that Saitama is in fact the same person who defeated him, Bakuzan felt fearful of his presence. He then demonstrated his abilities to seek revenge on Saitama for defeating and humiliating him in the first place. Despite this, all of his moves leave Saitama unfazed. He then deduces that Saitama was paralyzed in fear. Wanting to end him, Bakuzan uses his Hell Dispatch Chop to defeat Saitama, but he was killed in a single punch, leaving only his lower body and part of his left body.

Though Bakuzan admitted that the likes of Suiryu were stronger than him, he has shown to possess the ability of surviving a multi consumption of Monster Cells, suggesting he had superhuman qualities.
