Metal Bat (Weapon)
ItemThis unbreakable metal bat is the signature weapon carried by the S-Class hero Metal Bat, forged by the Hero Association as a durable replacement for the ordinary bats he kept snapping in battle. It came to him as a reward for his promotion to S-Class after he wore out a long string of bats, so he asked for one that could never break.
Overview
The weapon is the club that Metal Bat swings in every fight, a solid metal bat suited to his brawling style. It came to him as a reward when the Hero Association elevated him to S-Class rank.
Before receiving it he had burned through a long string of older metallic bats, each of which kept cracking apart under the strain of battling Mysterious Beings. Tired of constant replacements, he specifically asked for a bat that could never break.
Function
The bat is prized for its toughness and striking power, built to hold up to the punishment its owner puts it through. Its defining trait is durability, since the whole point of its design was to survive fights that shattered every previous bat he owned. In his hands it becomes a hard-hitting instrument that plays directly into his own physical strength.
