Benpatsu

Benpatsu (ベンパッツ, Benpattsu) is a Martial Artist and user of the Harsh Path Style. He and his dojo were the main antagonists of the Lobster special.

Appearance
Benpatsu is a lean-built man with his hair gather up in a high braid. He has a small mustache and wears a black gi.

As a monster, his appearance doesn't change much only with the additional third eye and sharp teeth.

Personality
Benpastu is an arrogant man, looking down on heroes like Sneck. He doesn't mind using tricks during fights, such as asking Sneck to stop only to strike him with an attack.

He is also cowardly as shown when he runs away in an attempt to save his own life after Mysterious Beings attack the stadium. He eventually turns into a monster just to save his own life.

Monster Raid Arc
Benpatsu is participating in the Super Fight Tournament in C-City at the C-City Super Stadium. This is the first time Benpatsu has participated in the tournament. While watching the match between Max and Suiryu, he was shocked by the latters strength, easily defeating his opponent.

Benpastu was pitted against Sneck. Mocking the hero for being in the lowest rank, he was quickly subdued by Sneck. He tried to punch Sneck, only to be counterattacked by Sneck's attack. Benpatsu comments on Snecks strength and falls on the ground, defeated.

Monster Association Arc
When the stadium is attacked, Benpatsu tries to retreat, but is stopped by Gouketsu, who throws in back into the arena. Benpatsu was given an option to either eat the Monster Cells and join the Monster Association or die. He decided to eat the cell and is excited of his new powers.

Lobster
Benpatsu alongside the members of the Harsh Path Clan came in to bust Bang's dojo to challenge him, only to find Charanko, Genos and Saitama eating hot pot. After one of the members challenged Charanko and almost ruining the food, Saitama effortlessly beat everyone, destroying the dojo only leaving Benpatsu. Moments later Bang arrives from the store, seeing the dojo destroyed, he immediately blames Benpatsu, much to his horror. After fleeing the dojo, the group gets beaten after bumping into Garou.

Abilities and Powers
Although not much is known about Benpatsu's strength, he was confident enough in his abilities to enter the Super Fight tournament.
