Harsh Path Clan

The Harsh Path Clan gathers fighters who train in and perfect the Harsh Path Style, one of countless martial schools each pursuing its own method. Its members carry a reputation for savagery and conceit, and they dress the part in black uniforms cinched with black belts. Making a habit of tearing down other dojos, the clan eventually turned its attention toward Bang's Dojo.

A clansman named Benpatsu entered the Super Fight tournament and drew the A-Class hero Sneck as his opponent. He took the hero lightly and lost. During the Super Fight Arc, the monster Gouketsu appeared as an envoy of the Monster Association and converted a number of contestants, Benpatsu included, into monsters. Suiryu, who stepped up to challenge the transformed fighters, later brought Benpatsu down.

In the extra chapter Lobster, the clan caught wind that Bang's Dojo stood on the verge of closing and showed up spoiling for a brawl. Saitama and Genos paid them no mind, leaving only Charanko to defend the place, and he was swiftly beaten. When the clan tried to wreck the lobster the two were cooking, Saitama finally scattered them, hurling their bodies clean through the dojo walls. Bang arrived to find Benpatsu the last one upright, who fearfully pointed at Saitama and Genos. On their way home, the bruised fighters blundered into Garou, and after they badmouthed Bang's dojo, he thrashed them all over again.

Benpatsu stands as the clan's only named fighter, a rank-and-file member whose ultimate fate is left unstated. He turns up across the Super Fight tournament, his monster conversion, and the clash at Bang's Dojo.
