Gaolang Wongsawat

Personality:   Appearance Gaolang is a highly-built man of Thai descent with long straight black hair tied into a ponytail that hangs over his left shoulder, thin discerning eyes, and a small circlet around his crown. Despite being a heavyweight boxer, Gaolang possesses a smaller frame compared to most of his contemporaries. His attire in the underground matches consist of a pair of boxing shorts, emblazoned with the image of a Garuda, a South-East Asian symbol of justice, royalty and the Dhamma. As he makes his entrances, he is also seen wearing a traditional boxer's robes, his musculature still visible. Personality Kaolan is perpetually calm to the point of being expressionless. However, this bellies an incredibly analytical mind that allows him to notice details other fighters would miss. His most obvious motivation is, in truth, derived from his extreme patriotism to Thailand and loyalty to his ruler, Rama XIII. In fact, Kaolan would have not taken part in the Annihilation Tournament at all without Rama XIII's command, disparaging the tournament for being a mere freak show in comparison to the purity of conflict in something like boxing. Despite this, he came to greatly respect Kaneda Suekichi's determination and willpower during their fight, calling him a true warrior. Contrary to the prior, however, Gaolang has one arguably self-centred desire: the desire to fight a truly powerful foe to the death (as long as the foe isn't Saw Paing).[8] History Gaolang started his fighting career as a nak muay 20 years ago when the King of Thailand, Rama XII, noticed his talents,[1] soon earning the name "Thai God of War" after becoming the greatest Nak muay.[9] At the age of 15, Kaolan joined the annual cross-border match between Myanmar and Thailand. There, he encountered Yoroizuka Saw Paing for the first time and defeated him by judge's decision in their fight. Since then, Saw Paing proceeded to constantly challenge him to a rematch, even crossing the border to do so.[10][8] One day, Gaolang began to question muay Thai's weakness: it largely dismissed the use of fists to attack. Because he was the King's bodyguard, it would be disadvantageous for him to fight opponents who used other kinds of combat, so Gaolang took up boxing, incidentally right after Carlos Medel's retirement[11], and trained in it to overcome muay Thai's weakness.[9] After doing so, he became the heavyweight champion of all four major boxing organisations in just four years.[12] At some point before a title fight, while escorting Rama XIII, Kaolan effortlessly defeated Kaz Fujita.[8] Plot Kengan Ashura On board the S.S. Kengan, Saw Paing surprised an exasperated Gaolang by his presence as an affiliated fighter in the tournament. Over the course of the days leading up to the opening day of the tournament, Saw Paing hung around with an indifferently stoic Gaolang. During the first round of the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, Kaolan made an unimpressed comment about Raian while watching the Kure Raian-Mokichi Robinson fight, with Saw Paing giving a typically hot-blooded response. Later, as the Murobuchi Gozo-Wakatsuki Takeshi fight was about to start, Gaolang asked Saw Paing what he made of the fight with the man replying that he was fired up. With Saw Paing's fight against Karo Yoshinari getting underway, Gaolang casually stated to his employer, Iida Tadashi, that Saw Paing would win before going on to explain the history he shared with Saw Paing. Later, representing Yato Trading Co., he fought against Kaneda Suekichi, attaining victory after being impressed by the latter's fighting spirit and determination to win. In the second round, Gaolang watched Saw Paing's fight against Mikazuchi Rei, believing Saw Paing to have the advantage due to his specs. However, Saw Paing was defeated and, after Saw Paing regained consciousness, Gaolang tried to reassure him about his defeat. When Saw Paing told him he couldn't fight anymore, Gaolang left in sheer disgust. When his turn came around, Gaolang stepped into the arena to fight against Kanoh Agito. Initially, Agito used boxing to fight but was completely dominated by Gaolang as a result. However, when Agito changed his fighting style, Gaolang couldn't fight back. With Agito taunting him, Gaolang then utilised a combination of boxing and muay Thai to fight, putting Agito on the defensive again. Fighting non-stop, even after breaking his fist in the latter stages of the battle, Gaolang was eventually defeated when Agito switched his fighting style again. After his defeat, Gaolang was seen with Kaneda, still thinking that he could get stronger one day, which also served to reinvigorate Saw Paing's fighting spirit. Later, during Hayami Katsumasa's "revolution", Gaolang, Kaneda, Imai Cosmo and Adam Dudley were attacked by the Guardians and managed to defeat them all except for Long Min. He was later seen watching the final matches of the tournament along with the other fighters who had lost. Some time after the Annihilation Tournament, Gaolang was reported to be have announced his comeback to boxing. Power & Abilities Gaolang is an extremely powerful fighter with boxing as his base martial art, having an out-fighting style with extremely fast flicker jabs as his speciality. Gaolang's physical abilities are top-notch, being able to throw heavy ad-hoc punches from any position, even unstable ones;[13][14] Gaolang's punches alone can knockout the majority of opponents. Like Kaneda Suekichi, Gaolang is also capable of predicting his opponent's movements, though this seems limited to opponents that utilize a boxing style.[15] When fighting normally, he only uses his boxing abilities in the "Hitman" or the "Flicker" style, as this is usually enough to dominate his opponent; his boxing skills are arguably the best in the world, proven in his fight with Kanoh Agito when he dominated the latter while both were using boxing, despite Gaolang having a height and reach disadvantage.[16] However, when fighting to the best his abilities he skillfully combines boxing with muay Thai. Having trained in muay Thai for over 20 years and mastered boxing, Gaolang is essentially a striking specialist; it would not be an overstatement to call Gaolang the "acme of striking".[9] His combination of boxing and muay Thai is so powerful that he is capable of forcing a fighter of Kanoh Agito's level on the defensive without giving him a chance to counter.[9][17] After the Annihilation Tournament, Gaolang underwent partial training after his right fist healed. By doing different forms of partial training his fist became hard enough to break through rocks, and was undamaged by a kick from Carlos Medel. Gaolang himself noted that he was inspired by Saw Paing's indestructible bones. Flash: Gaolang's signature boxing move. The Flash (フラッシュ, Furasshu) is a barrage of quick, sharp flicker jabs, a jab performed with no torque with the arm resting downwards or at a 90° from the waist. Even while being weighed down by a 10oz glove, he is able to fire off 13 of these flicker jabs in a single breath,[18] with the number of blows he can let off increasing to at least 15 when barehanded.[13] Because of the speed and volume of his punches, it is extremely hard to dodge or counter, even for professional boxing champions or people who can predict his attacks (such as Kaneda Suekichi). With this move, despite the flicker jabs' innate loss of power over regular jabs, it is still able to induce a nosebleed in Kaneda Suekichi even when all blows were blocked and has knocked-out lesser fighters. God Glow: The God Glow (神の御光ゴッドグロー, Goddo Gurō) is a powerful dominant cross (also known as a straight) able to "surpass light and become the fist of a god". It is the result of partial training to his right fist for one year after Kanoh Agito shattered it. This move is so powerful not even a fast fighter such as Carlos Medel can dodge it.
