Golden Ball

Golden Ball (黄金ボール, Ōgon Bōru) is an A-Class Superhero, rank 29. He was partnered with Spring Mustache to investigate the Kombu Infinity rumor in Z-City.

Appearance
Golden Ball is a tall man who carries a lollipop in his mouth. Golden Ball wears baggy pants, a hoodie underneath a lettermans jacket and a hat. His jacket has "Golden Ball" written on his back and on the left breast, and the right breast of his jacket has the words: "It's not Kintama, it's Golden Ball," which is a joke about testicles.

Personality
Golden Ball is a rather confident man, who believes he does not need to prepare for a fight.

Rumored Monster Arc
Golden Ball, along with Spring Mustache, are dispatched to Z-City to investigate the rumors of an intensely strong monster. After not finding anything for a while, the two heroes catch a glimpse of a Mysterious Being and give chase. The creature turns out to be Kombu Infinity. Golden Ball immediately pulls out his weapon and fires a volley of his "Shape Memory Gold Balls" at Kombu Infinity who casually swipes away the attack to the side. While that was happening, Kombu infinity had snaked one of his tentacles through the street drain, and from behind wrapped it around Golden Ball's leg. He pulls him down the road and throws him into the side of a building, rendering him unconscious and unable to fight.

Garou Arc
Garou meets Golden Ball in a bar and challenges him into a fight. Golden Ball eventually accepts and they head towards the parking lot. It is revealed that Golden Ball was putting up an act and begins the fight in the alley heading towards the parking lot. Garou dodges Golden Ball's first two attacks. Golden Ball initially believes that Garou was able to dodge them because of his hand movements and then shoots a shot that ricochets and pierces Garou's leg.

Golden Ball, believing that he has the advantage now, follows up with Golden Breakout. However Garou effortlessly dodges all of them, thus refuting Golden Ball's initial thought that Garou used Golden Ball's hand movements to dodge his bullets. In a final effort, Golden Ball fires one more shot directly at Garou. Unfortunately, Garou was able to deflect and destroy it and then destroys all of the other bullets. Before Garou can attack Golden Ball, Spring Mustache appears.

Abilities
Golden Ball demonstrates the strength needed to operate a slingshot that can pierce iron and his high rank as an A-Class hero suggests that he is rather powerful. He was able to be the first and so far only A class hero to harm Garou, forcing Garou to use Rock-Smashing water fist, something Garou only used on an S class hero.
