Biography[]
Past[]
Not much is known of Spec's early life, but he was imprisoned and sentenced to death for a string of serial murders in Florida.
Most Evil Death Row Convicts[]
In a moment of synchronicity, Spec and four other death row convicts escaped their prisons (Spec slaughtered his prison's guards and swam out of the Florida underwater submarine prison where he was being held) and headed to Tokyo with one goal in mind; to know defeat.
Spec hears about Baki Hanma's fighting prowess and confronts him, seemingly offering a token of respect, but the hand he extends to shake is someone else's severed hand, which freaks Baki out before Spec attacks him. During the commotion, the police arrive and arrest Spec, but he simply breaks the wall to his cell and continually goes in and out at his own leisure.
Spec is later present with the other escaped convicts as they meet Baki, Tokugawa, Doppo Orochi, Kaioh Retsu, and Shibukawa as they establish the rules for the upcoming fights; anything goes anytime, anywhere.
Spec stalks Baki through the park at night while on a date with Kozue, intending to challenge him. However, Kaoru Hanayama steps in and attacks Spec first to keep him away from Baki. A brutal fight ensues with severe injuries to both individuals, with Hanayama having multiple bullets explode in his mouth while Spec is knocked into an electric fence and electrocuted into unconsciousness. Hanayama delivers Spec to the police, much to the gratitude of the police captain. Nevertheless, while Hanayama is being escorted out, Spec breaks free and kills the officers in the lobby and chases after Hanayama, flipping over the vehicle he is in and grabbing a gun to shoot him. Hanayama, however, turns his head so that the bullet goes through the open hole in his cheek, letting him jump on Spec and knock him out cold.
While comatose, Spec is taken to a medical facility to recover, where his body starts to deteriorate and lose much of his muscle mass, revealing he is actually 97 years old.
Powers and Abilities[]
Metahuman physiology: Like many characters in the series, Spec naturally possesses a physical condition superior to an ordinary human beings. He ages at extremely slow pace, looking like a middle-aged man at the age of 97. His first encounter with Baki resulted in Hanma comparing him to his father Yujiro Hanma, and he is implied to be the strongest member of five prisoner convicts.
- Superhuman strength: Spec possesses superhuman strength, being able to effortlessly lift, mutilate and kill humans; demolish police cars; smash through thick prison walls; and even nearly cause Statue of Liberty to collapse after hitting it with a barrage of his blows. He was able to easily overpower Baki Hanma and push Kaoru Hanayama to a corner, narrowly losing to him.
- Superhuman durability: Spec is extremely durable, as he was able to withstand several blows from Kaoru Hanayama to his face, despite being send flying and Pickle comparing Kaoru's strength to that of Triceratops. He was also able to continue fighting after being electrocuted; while iron balls shot to his face, which have force equivalent to a professional baseball player hitting a ball, from two meters away without flinching.
- Superhuman speed: Spec is able to move at superhuman speeds, having ability to kill ordinary humans in a blink of an eye. He could deliver a kick to Baki's stomach and Hanayama's face without either of them being able to react. He often tends to appear out of nowhere, standing directly behind his opponents without their notice. He was also able to kill several guards at Florida coast within five seconds.
- Superhuman lung capacity: Spec can hold his breath for five minutes, which initially allowed him to escape his prison on submarine 200 meters below the surface by swimming to Florida coast, then kill all the guards within five seconds. This ability of his allows him to utilize his signature attack, Apnea Rush, by delivering a barrage of rapid blows to his opponents for five minutes straight without catching his breath.
- Superhuman swimming: As mentioned above, Spec was able to swim at the depth of 200 meters to the surface within five minutes on a single breath. After his defeat at the hands of Kaoru Hanayama, Spec began training by twitching his body as if he was swimming a butterfly stroke through a liquid thicker than water.
Trivia[]
- His appearance and name are based on the real-life serial killer Richard Speck respectively.
