Bakuzan

Bakuzan was quite prideful and wished to make his actions meaningful. He was also quite bloodthirsty, wanting to kill Suiryu. He proved it again when detailing how he would hurt Saitama with a smile on his face. Moreover, he was extremely arrogant during battle as he stated that all contestants in the Super Fight Tournament are a bunch of weaklings. He believed that martial arts contests are not meant to be a sport, but rather a place to put one's life on the line. For that reason, he looked down on his fellow martial artists who treat the tournament as sparring and competition. Furthermore, he had a great desire to fight strong opponents since he felt that fighting a weakling was an insult to his ego. He was excessively brutal towards his opponents, especially those he felt were not worthy of facing him. Despite his massive ego and arrogance, he had keen enough perception to realize that Suiryu was stronger than him, as well as the power gap between humans and monsters through observation. As a result, he felt jealous of Suiryu's strength. Upon seeing Gouketsu overpower Suiryu, he was amazed at how much power a human can gain after becoming a Mysterious Being, and so he chose to give up his own humanity to become the greatest living specimen. His hate for Suiryu grew so much that, disregarding Gouketsu’s warning, he ate all the remaining Monsters Cells, almost dying in the process, to not let Suiryu become a monster too. This shows in certain situations he can be greedy. When he became a monster, similar to other Mysterious Beings, he became filled with bloodlust and hatred, slamming Suiryu into the ground and knocking him out cold. At this point, the power he gained from the Monster Cells had gotten to his head, and he proclaimed himself to be the strongest, but his arrogance was short-lived as Gouketsu easily overpowered him during their brief skirmish, and explained that there are even stronger monsters than him in the Monster Association. Bakuzan's inclination to torment the weak. The Monsterfication made him even crueler and sadistic than before as he took extreme pleasure in humiliating and torturing weaker opponents. He had no qualms to admit that, for him, the only reason to become stronger was to be able to prey on weaker fighters, and he seemed to be much more deranged than before, having completely forsaken his previous serious and cold demeanor and showing, as a monster, an almost always sinister and maniacal smile. Despite this, he was capable of displaying shock when faced with opponents stronger than him; known cases being Saitama and Gouketsu. However, in the case of Saitama, Bakuzan retained most of his extreme arrogance when confronting the hero as a monster, although he initially did show some disbelief when he first recognized him. Despite his attacks all proving to be obviously useless against Saitama, he still assured Saitama that the hero could not defeat him, and that Saitama was paralyzed by fear, showing that he had become less observant as a monster. As a result, his arrogance proved to be his downfall, as Saitama blew off half of Bakuzan's body after he tried his final attack on Saitama.

Bakuzan was a muscular man with spiky dark hair. He kept his sideburns unkempt and spiky and had a bushy uni-brow and goatee. He wore a white martial arts uniform with torn sleeves. As a Mysterious Being, he became much bigger and muscular, his height is just a bit shy of Gouketsu's. He lost his shirt, which left only his white trousers. His sclera became black and his pupils orange. His ears and teeth became pointed and he grew black fur over his legs, arms, and back. He also grew another pair of arms, spikes on his shoulders and elbows, three [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring-tailed_lemur lemur]-like tails, and horns over his head.
