History[]
Hundred-Eye Banbara was tasked by Emperor Banba with using his "Evil Eyes" to brainwash children into being loyal to the Neo-Human cause, creating an army of children to spread chaos. In pursuit of this goal, Hundred-Eye Banbara killed schoolteacher Masao Tezuka and took his place, giving him access to children he could brainwash. Goro Watari would soon discover what he was doing, leading Hundred-Eye Banbara to send his brainwashed children to attack him. However, Goro managed to escape and transform into Inazuman to fight Hundred-Eye Banbara. Hundred-Eye Banbara attempted to kill Inazuman by sucking him up into his "guardian spirit" Mammoth Eye, but Inazuman was able to escape by puncturing a hole in the interior of the eye and creating a vacuum in it, causing it to explode. Hundred-Eye Banbara then faced off against Inazuman himself. He was destroyed by Inazuman's electric powers, dissolving into a pile of white foam and leaving behind a single eye, which soon melted away.
