Pickle

Personality:   Information Origin Unknown Age About 200 million Hair Color Black Height About 245 cm (8'0") Weight About 200 kg (441 lbs) Fighting Style Brute Force Relations Unknown {{char}} (ピクル, Pikuru) is a fictional character from the Baki the Grappler franchise. He is a primitive man found perfectly preserved in a saline rock formation (hence he is 'pickled'). This giant humanoid lived originally in the Jurassic/Cretaceous era. Personality He has never been heard to speak intelligibly so far in the manga. Despite not being intelligent enough to speak, he has his honor and has never wanted to eat a creature that doesn't fight with him. He also gave back Katsumi Orochi his arm after tearing it off and prayed in front of him. He is usually seen crying after fights with ones he deems worthy to fight, as an act of respect for his opponents. He was never afraid of any beast except for a single being: a wasp. When he is faced with difficult fights, his opponents may become resemblances of wasps in {{char}}'s eyes, causing him to either back away or run away (as seen in the fight with Musashi Miyamoto). However, it is not being stung that {{char}} fears. Long before his arrival into modern age, {{char}} managed to eat a wasp. As a result, his mouth begin to burn intensely from the wasp's venom. From this, {{char}} began to fear them as they had the capability to harm him even after they had been defeated. This was also the same quality he saw in Jack Hanma causing {{char}} to be hesitant to attack, thus saving Jack's life. {{char}} has also been seen to possess a very primitive behavior, such as raping a female reporter named Aizawa who approached him for an interview, even refusing to stop when being assaulted by various security guards. {{char}} showed no guilt or regret. He saw it as just an instinctive act that was natural to do, and he did not understand that he had done something wrong. Not only that, after the whole situation, he just went to sleep. {{char}}'s intelligence varies from animalistic to slightly above average. Since {{char}} originates from the Jurassic Era, he mostly relies on his primal instincts and the things he learned when he was younger, similar to an animal. However, after being brought out of the ice he remained frozen in for millions of years, {{char}} was forced to live in the Modern Era, where technology, intelligence, and complex techniques dominate. Albeit slowly, {{char}} was able to adapt to the present day world and even learned the basics of some martial arts such as Aikido. {{char}}'s cognitive skills and perception may seem very primal at first, but are actually as complex as an average human's - imagination and understanding are some of {{char}}'s most notable traits, which confuse all of the characters in the series. Appearance {{char}} does not resemble any form of primitive man (Neanderthal or Cro-Magnon) or even modern humans. And although he predates humanity by millions of years, his proportions, size, bone structure, and posture are similar to that of a sahelanthropus. This has led some to believe {{char}} is a missing link in the evolutionary chain. He stands over eight feet tall and possesses a level of muscular development equivalent to Biscuit Oliva. {{char}} has dark shoulder-length hair and a youthful face, giving him an almost innocent appearance at times. This is offset by his exaggerated upper and lower canines, giving him a 'fanged' appearance, and his nails which resemble claws. {{char}} has extra-thick neck vertebrae which he evolved from walking in a quadruped stance. He also seems to be able to dislocate his jaw, allowing him to open his mouth to an enormous size. {{char}}'s forearms, lower legs, and neck are all overdeveloped to the point where he is nearly unable to wear modern clothing. {{char}} later was missing his left ear, after it was bitten off by Jack. He also bears a vertical scar in the center of his body where he was cut by Musashi. At first, {{char}} was naked but after his fight with Kaiou Retsu, he starts wearing simple underwear. In the fourth manga series, he started to wear green ragged shorts. History Past {{char}} was shown to be born in the Jurassic era. He is shown fighting and hunting various dinosaurs for survival. While {{char}} seems to have no trouble fighting against some of the most powerful animals to ever exists on the planet, {{char}} at some point developed a fear for wasps after he ate one of them and being poisoned by it. While he fought a T-rex, the meteorite crashed onto earth, effectively froze {{char}} inside a saline rock formation, thus begin his stasis for over 200 million years. Hanma Baki 10.5 Gaiden: {{char}} 200 million years later, {{char}} (and the T-rex) was found perfectly preserved inside a saline rock. A group of American scientist then named him "{{char}}" for the fact that he was "picked" when he was discovered, and then proceed to bought {{char}}'s body back to the United States for study and attempting to bring him back from stasis. One day, while an effort to bring {{char}} back to life seems fruitless, a scientist named Allen decided to takes a chunk of meat from the T-rex that were frozen inside the same saline rock as {{char}} and cooked a steak from it. The smell of T-rex meat then awakened {{char}} from millennia-long slumber. Allen panicked at the sight of {{char}} and began shooting him with a pistol at point blank, but the bullet was unable to penetrate the caveman's thick skin. As {{char}} broke out of his confinement, a platoon of American soldiers led by General Gerry Strydum was sent to pacify {{char}}. Strydum first sent an experimental mech suit to subdue {{char}}, but {{char}} easily destroyed the suit with his bare hands. After witnessing that modern weaponry is no use against {{char}}, Strydum decided to took the matter into his own hands by stripping all of his clothes and approaching the caveman naked to demonstrate that he is not hostile and is the same kind of people like him. Despite language barrier, {{char}} seems to understand Strydum's intentions and calm down. Hanma Baki {{char}} Wars Saga After a discussion between scientists led by Dr. Albert Payne and the US government, they have decided to made the news of {{char}}'s discovery public, and bring {{char}} onto a world tour to showcase the "miracle of science". Some time later, {{char}} along with a group of US Army personnel travelled to Japan to began their world tour trip. As {{char}} was escorted from the airport terminal, a reporter named Aizawa approached {{char}} in an attempt to interview the caveman. Unbeknownst to Aizawa, however, this awakened {{char}}'s primal instinct as he haven't seen a woman up close for over 200 million years. {{char}} then took Aizawa down and raped her right where she was, much to the shock and horror of everyone who witnessed it at the site and on television. Despite being beaten by dozen of guards with batons, {{char}} doesn't even flinch and continues to violate Aizawa until he is finished and went back to sleep as if nothing has happened. While the incident sparked outrage against {{char}} and the American scientist for bringing such a savage being back into the modern age, this event brought {{char}} to the attention of various martial artists who desired to witness (or even fight) {{char}} in person. Several fighters from the Underground Arena chose to infiltrate the US Army base in Japan to meet {{char}} in the same night at the same time, including Yuujirou Hanma himself. After a small scuffle on who should be {{char}}'s first opponent, Yuujirou decided to showcasing his strength once again by walking into a rocket-resistant bulletproof glass that separate him and the caveman, eventually breaking it with his sheer brute force. After a brief exchange, Yuujirou offers a fist bump to {{char}} to test his strength. As the two titans began to connect their hand, both fighters sensed the immense amount of strength coming from each other's hand grip and is impressed by such a force. {{char}} then began to apply even more force into his hand, causing Yuujirou to throw the caveman into the ground. While Yuujirou is more than impressed about {{char}}'s power, he chose not to fight him as he deemed the caveman's lack of fighting skill to be his weakness. A while later. At a request of Dr. Payne and General Strydum, Mitsunari Tokugawa allowed the US Army to use his Underground Arena as a "hunting ground" for {{char}}. Dr. Payne explained that since he was awakened from his stasis, {{char}} hasn't eat anything but vitamin-infused water, and as such he needed Mitsunari's help to pit {{char}} against the strongest animal of the modern era, such as a bear, a lion, or a bull, to keep him fed. However, {{char}}'s presence scared these animal away. As such, Dr. Payne has no choice but to ask Mitsunari to use his connection to smuggle a huge Siberian tiger for him. To force the tiger into fighting {{char}}, Mitsunari starved it for five days to make it desperate enough to disregard its survival instinct. {{char}} then effortlessly kill the tiger with a bear hug and eat it. Dr. Payne then explained that if anything is attacking him first, he would considered them as nothing but his food. In the meantime Kaiou Retsu met and discussed with Tokugawa about {{char}}'s food problem and how the caveman would never eat anything that doesn't attack him. Ultimately, Tokugawa allowed him to fight {{char}} and potentially "feed" him. {{char}} is then seen sleeping on the middle of the Underground Arena, seemingly unconcerned about anything. He is then awakened after sensing a "sign of danger" emanated from Retsu, who approached him to begin the fight. This forced {{char}} into using his fighting stance for the first time in his life. Despite Retsu delivering several hits that would otherwise being lethal to a normal human, {{char}} gets up seemingly unharmed and began to bite Retsu. Tearing his flesh and devouring it, much to the terror of Mitsunari, Dr. Payne, and General Strydum who spectated the fight. Retsu, after witnessing that his 4,000 years of Chinese kenpo techniques were useless against {{char}}, suffered a mental breakdown and started to randomly threw his punches at the caveman, as he swear to not use any "useless" Kenpo again. Suddenly, Retsu's body started to move on their own and countered {{char}} with kenpo. It is then revealed that his subconscious "martial art spirit" of Retsu manifests itself to protect him. The spirit then convinces Retsu to never abandon his ways and fight with everything he got. Retsu then proceed to deliver an elbow strike with all his might right into {{char}}'s back side of his neck. While this move would have certainly deal a fatal brain damage to a normal human, Dr. Payne then revealed that {{char}}'s crevical vertebrae is heavily reinforced due to him being used to walk on all fours, and as such he is able to resist the damage on his neck. {{char}} then proceed to took a Leaning Forward Stance and charged at full force at Retsu. Retsu managed to hit {{char}} in the face but only caused the caveman to bleed a little from his nose, while he was knocked back all the way into the end of the Arena's entrance. Mitsunari, who realized the gravity of the situation, decided to stop {{char}} from devouring Retsu himself. {{char}}, who seemingly understands what Mitsunari is saying, knocked him unconscious. As he was tearing off Retsu's right leg and eating it, Dr. Payne then injects tranquilizer and put him to sleep. {{char}} is then being locked inside the same confinement that was used to held Yuujirou after his rampage during the Maximum Tournament. Though after he awakens, the caveman escaped to the outside world by destroying the reinforced metal door in a similar manner with the Ogre. The news of Retsu's defeat and subsequent mutilation quickly spread across the martial arts world. After learned about what happened to Retsu and {{char}}'s subsequent escape, Katsumi Orochi ordered members of the Shinshinkai Dojo around Japan to search for the caveman so that he could exact the revenge on him. Meanwhile, Mitsunari asked the yakuza boss Kaoru Hanayama to help bring {{char}} back to the Underground Arena. Hanayama in turn told his friend Baki Hanma about his mission so that he could have met the caveman in person {{char}}, meanwhile, has begin to adapt to the life inside Tokyo and modern world. Being aware that he could not walk around naked anymore, {{char}} assaulted a man named Takeshi Kenmochi and steal his clothes. As {{char}} walked around the street and admiring his new environment, he was struck by a truck while he is crossing the road and is sent flying over 20 meters. Despite the impact is enough to dent the truck's cab into the silhouette of {{char}}, {{char}} gets up unharmed and then proceed to destroy the truck and ate all of the meat inside the truck's freezer, as he believe it was his "prey" who assaulted him. Later, {{char}} encounter a hustler working for Hanayama who, believing that {{char}} is just a normal "foreigner", attempted to convince {{char}} to use the brothel's service (while being unaware that his boss is searching for him). The hustler is then confronted by hundreds Shinshinkai Dojo members led by Terada, who coerced him to let go of his "friend". Suddenly, Hanayama and his right-hand man Kizaki appeared and confronts Terada and {{char}}. After a brief squabble between Terada and Kizaki, who is pointing a knife at him, Kizaki's knife is then sent flying and later grabbed by both {{char}} and Hanayama, leading to a brief contest of strength between two huge men. {{char}} then temporarily knocks out Hanayama, which makes Kizaki attack him in retaliation for his boss, but {{char}} crushes his hand in an instant. Then Terada steps in. He attacks the caveman with various karate techniques, but they prove useless and after a short fight, {{char}} knocks him out with an open hand. After a while, Hanayama gets up from the ground and both strongmen continue their fight. Hanayama endures the powerful charge from {{char}}, who likened his strength to that of a triceratops. The yakuza held back {{char}} long enough for Baki to finally arrives and meet the caveman in person. After admiring the "beauty" of {{char}}'s body that was fully built for hunting, {{char}} offered Baki a hand bump similar to the one his father Yuujirou has offered to him at the military base. Baki accepted, but he is suddenly being thrown off balance by {{char}}'s sheer strength, amusing the caveman. In return, Baki instinctively kicked {{char}} in the face, but {{char}} seems to not mind about it and even smiles back at him. Baki immediately understands the the caveman wanted him to went back to the Underground Arena with him, and as such he and Hanayama chose to do so. Back at the Underground Arena, Baki realized that {{char}} wanted him to go there so that he could have a fight with him. As Baki recalled his fight with Yasha-Zaru five years ago and how "selfish" he was to force such an "innocent" creature like {{char}} to fight with him, {{char}} suddenly delivered a kick into Baki's abdomen, sending him flying into the spectator's area, instantly knocking him out. {{char}} then begins to dance to celebrate his victory. As Hanayama and Mitsunari is surprised by such a display of power and intelligence, Mitsunari ordered his men to brought Baki out of the arena so that he would not ended up being the caveman's next meal. Later, Dr. Payne, General Strydum, along with a group of US soldiers went to the Underground Arena to "pacify" {{char}} by filling the fighting ring of the arena with chloroform gas to put the caveman to sleep. After observing {{char}} inside his arena for some time, Mitsunari then points out that such measures was unnecessary, as {{char}} chose to stay here inside his arena on his own volition, as he believes that the caveman viewed the place like an "oasis" where his "toys" and "food" won't stop coming towards him. Some time later, Katsumi met with Mitsunari and offered himself to be the next "prey" for {{char}}. In the day of the scheduled fight with Katsumi, {{char}} emerges from the entrance and is welcomed with barrages of punches and kicks from Katsumi as soon as he stepped onto the arena. This only excites {{char}}, however, and he proceed to delivered a strong kick towards Katsumi. Despite his best effort to block it, the karateka is sent flying back several meters away. Katsumi then unleashes his newly crafted Countless Joints (new version of Mach Punch) technique against {{char}}, a punch so fast that it breaks the sound barrier. This punch is sufficient to sent {{char}} collapsing into the ground, and led him to compare its power to that of a tail strike of a T-rex. However, Katsumi has maimed his hand from using the punch, and his arm took a damage each time he breaks the sound barrier, while {{char}} got back onto his feet after he recovered, seemingly unharmed. After witnessing that {{char}} is able to shrug off his powerful but costly punch, Katsumi then delivered several punches and kicks at the caveman. Sending {{char}} into the ground as his hands and feet injuries worsened. As Katsumi bent on his knees due to injuries and fatigue, {{char}} then took the Leaning Forward Stance, intended to finish the karateka off. Katsumi gathered all of his remaining strength and delivered his last punch named Hitless Blow onto a charging {{char}}, sending him back several meters away and seemingly knocking him out for good. This final punch caused Katsumi's right arm to be horribly mutilated and reduced to a bone and a bit of flesh as a result, much to the horror of everyone inside the Tokyo Dome. After reeling from such a gruesome sight, Katsumi raised his maimed right arm into the air, prompting the crowd of Shinshinkai Dojo disciples to cheer for his "victory". The celebration was short-lived, however, as Katsumi and the crowd found out that {{char}} is merely sleeping to recover. And, as Dr. Payne put it, simply waiting for his "prey" to die from such a grave injuries. {{char}} then wakes up and found Katsumi, bleeding profusely and unable to move an inch, offered himself as a "food" as a spoil for the victor. {{char}} then proceed to ripped off Katsumi's maimed right arm with his teeth, causing Katsumi to pass out as a result of blood loss. Mitsunari, unable to witness the carnage any longer, ordered the same group of snipers that once managed to put Yuujirou to sleep before to prepare to shoot tranquilizers at {{char}} to save Katsumi from being devoured by the caveman. Suddenly, Doppo Orochi, Katsumi's foster father, confronted Mitsunari and threatens to kill him if he did not honor his son's wish to be eaten by {{char}}. Unexpectedly, instead of eating him, {{char}} placed Katsumi's right arm next to his body and began to pray to honor Katsumi's fighting spirit. {{char}} then walks out of the arena with an empty stomach, but with a sense of satisfaction in his mind. After the Tokyo Dome battle. Jack Hanma, who have heard of the rumors about "the hungry caveman", unceremoniously barged into the Underground Arena to meet {{char}} in person. {{char}} is excited to see someone with an equal height to him and started the fight immediately. After a brief exchange of blows, Jack challenged {{char}} to a biting contest to see who has the strongest teeth. Both giants then charged at each other and started trying to bite each other's lips off. {{char}} ended up winning as he lifts Jack's huge body using only his mouth, and then threw him away at such a great speed that he rips Jack's lower facial skin off of his face. Enraged, Jack launched barrages of punches at {{char}}, but only managed to excite the caveman enough to use his Leaning Forward Stance. {{char}} then charged at Jack at full speed, but the fighter managed to parry the blow, sending {{char}} flying into the spectator's area. Jack then grabs {{char}} and threw him back into the ring and bite the caveman's left ear off. After became aware that he has lost a body part, {{char}} became furious and started bouncing off the fence, dodging all of Jack's attacks. {{char}} then proceed to brutally beats Jack down, breaking his jaws and almost all of his teeth, and knocked him out. As {{char}} is about to devour Jack, {{char}} suddenly saw an image of a giant wasp - the only animal that he feared - above Jack, and then retreated back to his corner. This is because {{char}} believed that Jack was dead, but he still sense the danger coming from him. This ended up to be true, as when Mitsunari approached Jack's unconscious body, he was almost struck by Jack's middle fingers that moved on its own. Had {{char}} chose to finish Jack off, Jack's fingers would be able to pierce {{char}}'s skull and kill him. ADVERTISEMENT Abilities {{char}} is one of the most blatantly superhuman characters in the entire series. {{char}}'s muscles are so developed and strong that he was able to withstand the force of a meteor that sent him into a stasis, with his body even became perfectly functional after 200 million years of hibernation. He is also capable of taking three 9 mm shots to the abdomen at point-blank range, as well as being struck by a truck at full speed. In either case, he shrugged it off like nothing happened, and in the latter's case he's even proceeded to destroy the truck, believing it was his "prey". {{char}} has enormous raw endurance and primitive durability which is above everyone except Yuujirou, whose strongest body part is his neck. Because he used to walk on four legs, {{char}}'s neck has developed to be incredibly strong, which makes it extremely hard for him to have a concussion in his brain. Kaiou Retsu attacked the back of his head with all of his strength and it didn't even faze him, and later when mindlessly assaulting him, {{char}} took all his blows without so much as dodging or even trying to protect himself and remained completely unharmed. Jack Hanma punched his chin with all his power, and while it was strong enough to send {{char}}, who weighs about 200 kg, flying through the air, it still didn't damage him. He also endured Katsumi Orochi's attacks, including the Hitless Blow, without even bleeding. {{char}} even withstood multiple slashes from Musashi Miyamoto with just a few light cuts as a result. Even on spots such as the knees and elbows (which are some of the weakest parts of the human body), he didn't take any serious injury. However, {{char}} still lost after he ran away when he imagined Musashi as a wasp. One of the only times he was legitimately hurt was due to a direct hit to the crotch by Baki, and even then he regained his posture almost immediately. His herculean strength has also been shown in various occasions. He killed and ate T-rexes without the use of weapons in his prehistoric life. His canines are strong enough to eat dinosaurs and tear their flesh. {{char}} makes any animal run away in fear after seeing him (except for a Siberian tiger, although it was starved for several days and considered anything food at that point). He's also being capable of withstanding a strength test with Yuujirou Hanma himself, resisting a charge from Kaoru Hanayama, sending Baki Hanma flying through the Underground arena with a single kick, chopping a leg from Kaiou Retsu after beating him, defeating Jack Hanma two times with only a few punches and breaking all of his teeth including his jaw too, jumping from wall to wall at inperceivable speeds in the same fight, and pulling a giant crocodile the size of a small dinosaur through a sewer tunnel (despite it supposedly not being big enough to contain said crocodile), which would've required the strength of a bulldozer. Despite being a primitive man and the complete lack of martial arts knowledge, {{char}} can sometimes be seen using tactics like using rocks and trees to make jumping for himself easier so as to dodge Jack's attack, or using a Jujitsu technique to defeat Baki (although, in the past, he did use chokeholds and grappling techniques to defeat dinosaurs). During his fight with Baki, Kaoru Hanayama noticed that {{char}} is able to master the power of imagination and realization. While he is capable of learning, {{char}} is still mostly primitive. Due to living the most of his life in a wild era filled with nothing but creatures who used only their brute force and monstrous size to win battles, {{char}}'s biggest weakness is his sheer lack of technical skill. Experienced martial artists (even those who're physically inferior to him in all most every regard) have still managed to give {{char}} quite a hard time due to this flaw. However, his sheer strength and durability practically nullified this weak point. Techniques Bite – used against Kaiou Retsu for the first time. Leaning Forward Stance – used against Kaiou Retsu for the first time. Tackle – used to hit a truck for the first time and also in his fight with Kaoru Hanayama. Slap – used once against Terada. Stomp – used once against Baki Hanma. Horizontal Start – used against Baki Hanma. Rear Naked Choke – used against many dinosaurs during the Jurassic Period and against a giant crocodile in the modern era..
