Personality

For all his low ranking, he has nerve. He was willing to face down the Deep Sea King when the monster vowed to slaughter everyone sheltering nearby, even as the fear registered plainly on his face.

History

During the Seafolk assault on J-City, Bunbun Man took cover in an evacuation shelter, but when the Sea King forced its way inside, he joined All Back-Man, Jet Nice Guy, and Sneck in trying to shield the civilians. The four were brushed aside with ease. Later, in I-City, he was among the crowd of heroes who tried and failed to stop the Hundred-Eyes Octopus, and he had to be pulled to safety by Bone and Red Muffler.

He surfaced again in the ruins of Z-City Ghost Town after Tatsumaki tore the Monster Association's base out of the ground, arriving to find Garou stripped of his power. As the assembled heroes argued over what should be done with him, King stepped in and cut the discussion short. In combat Bunbun Man relies entirely on his fists. His one named technique, the Bun Bun Rush, is a ceaseless swirl of punches that leaves an opponent no gap to counter, though it has never actually been shown on the page.
