Harsh Path Clan

The clan presents a uniform look on the mat. Its fighters dress in black martial arts uniforms and knot black belts at the waist, marking them out as one of the many rival schools that each pursue a signature style of their own.

A reputation for cruelty and swagger follows the group wherever it goes. Members are known for their brutality and their arrogance, traits that fuel their habit of hunting down and dismantling other dojos rather than testing themselves fairly.

One member, Benpatsu, entered the Super Fight tournament and drew the A-Class hero Sneck. He underestimated the professional and lost. When the monster raids struck the cities, Gouketsu appeared at the tournament on behalf of the Monster Association and converted several fighters into monsters, Benpatsu among them, only for Suiryu to defeat the transformed Benpatsu after choosing to stand against the creatures.

The clan's most memorable outing comes in the side chapter Lobster. Hearing that Bang's Dojo was on the verge of folding, they showed up looking for a fight. Saitama and Genos paid them no mind, and only Charanko stepped up to defend the place before being quickly beaten. Annoyed at the pair's indifference, the clan tried to ruin the lobster the two were cooking, which finally prompted Saitama to scatter them by smashing their bodies through the dojo's walls. Bang arrived to find the wreckage and asked the lone standing member, Benpatsu, whether the clan was responsible, and the terrified man simply pointed at Saitama and Genos. Limping home afterward, the beaten fighters happened to cross paths with Garou, and when they spoke ill of Bang's dojo he thrashed them all over again.
