Choze

Choze stood as an exceptionally tall, heavily muscled man, so much so that the 175-cm Saitama reached only to his chest. His hair parted to the left above pale eyes, and oddly he had no eyebrows, dressing in a checkered red turtleneck, black gloves, and white trousers.

Once he devoured a monster cell and changed, his look turned demonic: horns sprouted, spikes pushed out from his shoulders and forearms, his hands blackened into clawed fingers, and his frame seemed to fuse with the red checkered pattern of his old sweater.

Arrogant and openly racist, Choze looked down on nearly everyone. In a fight he turned savage and bloodthirsty, forever driving opponents to death's edge and, by his own claim during the Super Fight, sparing them only because the referee stepped in, plainly relishing the kill. His sadism ran deep, delighting in the pain of others, and he would murder purely to gauge his own power, as when he snapped Rosie's neck to sample the Monster Cells' effects.

Above all he clung to a supremacist creed, certain that flawless breeding had made him and his clan the destined rulers of the world. That fixation was his undoing: it made him careless, so Saitama downed him with one punch. Turning into a monster only inflated his ego further, and having refused to learn, he underestimated Suiryu and fell a second time.

Choze belonged to a clan set on engineering flawless bloodlines, and he was raised as its perfect specimen. He entered the C-City Super Fight for the first time and made waves by publicly running down the other entrants. Suiryu's easy demolition of Max shook him, yet he blazed through his own matches, downing Mentai before beating Dave nearly to death. His streak broke against Saitama, who tired of the ceaseless boasting and knocked him clean out of the arena.

When Gouketsu and the Three Crows stormed the closing ceremony and pushed the fighters to turn monster, Choze killed the freshly changed Rosie, then ate a monster cell of his own. Remade as a Mysterious Being, his power spiked: one strike now flung a grown man from the stadium, and he tested it on Jakumen. In monster form he could also hurl energy, loosing his Inferior Race Annihilation Shot, an orb fired from between his horns strong enough to tear an opening in the clouds. He met Suiryu on level terms and became the first in a long while to make the champion bleed, but Suiryu snapped his horns, drove a blow into his gut, and finished him with the Void Phoenix Ascension Fist.
