Teruo Unagisawa
CharacterTeruo Unagisawa is nineteen and looks twelve, adores Pop☆Step past the point of good judgment, and has twice been turned into a giant eel by other people's chemistry. He ends up working at Hopper's Cafe, which is a gentler landing than most of the Villain Factory's material gets.
Appearance
Anyone guessing his age would guess middle school. Teruo is small, round-headed, round-eyed, and wide-nosed, with a scalp bare except for a single tuft at the crown, and none of it suggests nineteen years.
Trigger rewrites that body into something long and eel-shaped, its mouth built like a lamprey's. The Villain Factory's version goes further: a colossal electric eel of a thing, thick-limbed, with eyes running in rows across it.
Personality
Teruo is trusting to a fault and thinks very little of himself. He will say plainly that he is weak and that he is not clever.
The one thing that overrides all of it is Pop☆Step. His fandom is total, it pushes him into decisions he has not thought through, and it survives everything done to him. Even remade as a Next-Level Villain, she is still the only thing on his mind.

Abilities
His original Quirk, Eel, only surfaces under Trigger, and it swells him into a big eel-shaped thing whose skin is impossibly slick.
Electric Eel replaces it after the Villain Factory abducts and modifies him, locking in the giant eel-man shape and adding a discharge of electricity. The current costs him something: releasing it knocks him out cold.
He counts among the Instant Villains and later the Next-Level Villains, both in the past tense, and afterward he lands at Hopper's Cafe.
