Fubuki (フブキ, Fubuki; Viz: Blizzard), also known by her hero alias Blizzard of Hell (地獄のフブキ, Jigoku no Fubuki; Viz: Hellish Blizzard) is the B-Class Rank 1 professional hero of the Hero Association. She is an esper, the younger sister of Tatsumaki, and the leader of the Blizzard Group, a B-Class hero faction. She and her sister are known as the Psychic Sisters (エスパー姉妹, Esupā Shimai). Fubuki is currently trying to recruit Saitama into her group. She's also a self-declared member of the Saitama Group.^{[citation needed]}

Appearance

Fubuki is a young woman with a curvy figure, straight, chin-length dark green hair styled into a bob with a fringe, and light green eyes varying from jade to mint. She also wears light pink lip gloss. Her main attire consists of a dark royal-green, form-fitting V-neck dress with a high collar, often paired with a long white fur coat draped over it, thigh-high black heeled boots, and several white pearl necklaces (two in the anime).

Additionally, she sometimes wears dark tights and black pumps instead of her usual thigh-high boots.

Full appearance

Personality

When Fubuki was younger, she was very self-conscious about her curves, particularly her breasts. Nowadays, Fubuki wears elegant, expensive clothing, as she believes in the saying, “clothes define the man”, giving her a rather posh and confident image.

Fubuki's cold disposition

On the outside, Fubuki is a cold-hearted, ambitious, confident individual who does not doubt her own abilities but understands her limits to an extent, causing her to not do anything irrational. She would do anything at all costs to secure her position as the top-ranked hero in B-Class, such as inviting possible threats like Saitama to join the Blizzard Group. If refused, she would attempt to ruthlessly take them down, becoming a prominent source of the "newbie crushing" that is commonly practiced by aspiring professional heroes.

However, despite her psychic talents and potential, Fubuki harbors a deep-seated inferiority complex, feeling insecure and frustrated about living in the shadow of her far stronger older sister, Tatsumaki. While she agrees with Genos that she has the ability to reach the higher ranks of A-Class, she believes she can never reach its top, let alone S-Class, due to Sweet Mask's gatekeeping at Rank 1 of A-Class, which prevents others from advancing. To compensate, she gathered lower-ranked B-Class heroes, hoping to surpass her sister through strength in numbers, unlike Tatsumaki, who prefers working alone.

Despite her insecurities, Fubuki has a strong heroic spirit. She willingly sacrificed herself to buy time for Bang and Bomb to escape from Overgrown Rover, a Dragon-level threat. She later demonstrated her selflessness again by saving Genos from the brink of self-destruction, despite the great physical toll it took on her.

Fubuki is a charismatic leader, earning the respect and loyalty of her group members, who are willing to risk their lives for her. In return, she deeply cares for the Blizzard Group and relies on them to advance in rank, despite her own telekinetic abilities.

Her personality undergoes a significant shift after meeting Saitama, who encourages her to overcome her fears and push herself to become stronger and advance into A-Class. She dedicates herself to the continued improvement and success of her organization. Inspired by Saitama's strength, Fubuki gains a new understanding of her sister and seeks to gather powerful allies, hoping to one day support Tatsumaki. Beneath her cold and insecure exterior lies someone who truly cares about her sister and wants to free her from solitude, fully aware of her responsibilities as a hero. When the Monster Association executives attack and Tatsumaki heads off to fight them, Fubuki is deeply grateful for Genos' and Bang's assistance in protecting her sister. She even shows great concern for Genos' reckless actions, ultimately breaking into tears of relief.

Like Tatsumaki, Fubuki is quite intelligent, but unlike her sister, she is more composed and level-headed, displaying strong deduction skills. However, her ego often drives her to seek attention and assume authority without always earning it.

Fubuki is also quite opportunistic, frequently attempting to recruit strong individuals into the Blizzard Group. She has even declared various members of the Saitama Group as part of her team without their agreement or even after outright refusal.

Abilities and Powers

Fubuki is the strongest among her group and her class, with Saitama previously being the only exception when he was in B-Class. She also claims to be capable enough to reach an upper rank in A-Class. However, she was easily defeated by the Demonic Fan and was knocked out. Physically, she appears to be no different than a normal person; Child Emperor's scanning device listed her at a mere "19" while many B-Class heroes are in the several hundreds, and A-Class in the thousands. It should be noted that the results of the device were later declared not reflective of the heroes' actual physical attributes and fighting ability. Beyond her fighting abilities, she has proven a fairly capable leader, able to lead a small army effectively and they, in turn, follow her orders completely.

She is also a fairly competent teacher when it comes to psychic abilities, as she taught every member of the Blizzard Group one psychic technique.^{[citation needed]}

Physical Abilities

Enhanced Endurance: During her fight against Do-S, Fubuki was able to endure the full force of the monster's whip, which otherwise sent several other heroes flying a considerable distance.

Supernatural Abilities

Fubuki uses her psychokinesis

Psychokinesis: Fubuki possesses psychic powers. She has displayed the ability to block a powerful attack from a Dragon-level Mysterious Being, although she was visibly exhausted afterward and claimed not to be able to do it again. Moreover, she is able to sense when her sister is nearby or using large amounts of psychic power. Furthermore, Fubuki's versatility also lies in her vast array of abilities to provide support for her fellow heroes in combat situations.

• Psychic Barriers: Fubuki can erect psychic barriers to protect herself or her allies. Her barriers were proven strong enough to protect Bang and Bomb from Overgrown Rover's energy blasts, albeit with difficulty, as Fubuki bleeds from her eyes after using the technique.
• Flight: Fubuki's psychokinesis is strong enough for her to levitate in mid-air, or even fly at quick bursts when needed.
• Organic-Body Enhancement (生体強化, Seitai Kyōka): Fubuki can temporarily strengthen organic parts of a person's body, boosting their physical attributes like speed. This also removed Bang and Bomb's previous lingering pains and strains.
• Telepathy: Fubuki can use telepathy to psychically contact her sister.
• Energy Suppression: Fubuki can use her psychokinesis to suppress thermal motion, as demonstrated when she helped restabilise Genos’ overloading core, albeit taking a significant physical toll on her afterwards, knocking her out as a result.
• Organic Restoration: Fubuki has the ability to use her psychokinetic powers to restore and heal organic materials. This was demonstrated when she healed the organic parts of Genos' overheated body. Additionally, she can draw upon the energy of others to aid in her healing abilities. For instance, she utilized Bomb's energy to partially recover Tanktop Master, leading to Bomb's fatigue. The more energy resources she can access, the more effective her healing becomes, as demonstrated by her complete healing of Tanktop Master's life-threatening wounds inflicted by Fuhrer Ugly, after drawing upon the excessive body fat energy of Pig God, resulting in the overweight hero becoming thin and malnourished.

Fighting Style

Expert Psychic Combatant: While not nearly as powerful as her sister Tatsumaki, Fubuki is a skilled esper. Even as a young girl, she was said to be capable of moving a truck. She primarily relies on psychokinesis in battle, using graceful yet destructive techniques such as hurling rocks, pebbles, and other objects at opponents. Her ability to fly allows for agile movement, and her quick thinking lets her manipulate her surroundings to gain the upper hand, impeding or crushing enemies. Whenever she uses her powers, a blue, glowing aura surrounds her body. Despite her experience, she still struggles with controlling her strength. On multiple occasions, she has worried about overdoing her attacks. Unlike most espers, Fubuki has developed the ability to control the trajectory of her telekinetic signals, which normally travel in a straight line. While this does not increase her power, it allows her to create a highly effective defensive technique.

Fubuki using Hell Storm

• Hell Storm (地獄嵐, Jigoku Arashi): Fubuki's signature move. This involves her surrounding the target with a strong tornado, drawing in rocks and nearby small objects to inflict damage along with the wind.

• Psychic Binding (念動金縛り, Nen-dō Kanashibari): An ability used to immobilize targets. Fubuki was able to use this move to hold down the entire Blizzard Group and other heroes who were brainwashed by Do-S. She also attempted to use it on Tatsumaki to prevent her sister from returning to fight during the Monster Association raid. However, Tatsumaki could easily free herself.

• Psychic Whirlwind (念流廻転嵐, Nen-ryū Kaiten Arashi): By making psychokinetic signals move in circles around her, Fubuki can create a whirlwind capable of harmlessly redirecting psychic attacks much stronger than her own, as she showed in her fight with Psykos. The technique also has a jamming effect: if another esper steps into the whirlwind, they will allegedly be unable to use their abilities. Fubuki developed this defensive technique in order to surpass her sister, Tatsumaki. Unfortunately, her sister had already developed that technique during her childhood, long before Fubuki did, and resisted its jamming.

• Psychic Strike (念打, Nen-da): By making a chopping motion with her hand, Fubuki can hit a nearby target on the back of the neck with her telekinesis, knocking them out.

• Hell Cluster (地獄団子, Jigoku Dango): Fubuki gathers debris from her surroundings and crushes the opponent with it.

Miscellaneous Abilities

Mental Resistance: Fubuki, possibly due to her strong ego, was able to free herself from Do-S' mind control.

Keen Intellect: Fubuki is shown to be an intelligent hero. She correctly deduced the current situation with the Monster Association without the communication system of the Hero Association working properly, while Saitama and the others were clueless.

In the webcomic, through her constant research and quest for versatility and innovation, Fubuki has learned things that not even her sister knows about, such as that resistance to psychokinesis is directly linked to one's willpower.

Equipment

Box Cutter: Fubuki was seen using a box cutter as a last-resort melee weapon against Saitama.

Quotes

• (To Saitama) "I won't hand over the position I worked so hard for!"
• (Referring to Saitama) "Why... are S-Classes blending in so well together with a B-Class? Can I be part of this too..."
• (Regarding Saitama Group) "Making Saitama's gang part of the Blizzard Group is more difficult than I expected..."
• (To Genos) "Leaders must always know how to behave like leaders."
• (To Tatsumaki) "I'll gather strong allies that even you can trust in. And then someday, I'll come for you... I won't leave you all by yourself. I'll save you, sister, in a way that you can't do by yourself... because I am... a hero."
• (Her thought on Blast) "Blast... You may have saved my sister's life... but... You've left a curse... on her heart."

Trivia

Fubuki in her youth

• She is ranked second overall in the latest official character poll, beaten by a narrow margin by Saitama himself. This was unprecedented, due to her limited presence in the redrawn manga at the time of the vote.
• According to the databook:
  • What she likes are being at the top of B-Class and the Blizzard Group as well as brands that suit her style.
  • What she dislikes are cheap items, heroes of lower rank that do not join the Blizzard Group, and traffic jams.
  • Her hobbies are collecting high-heels, shopping, gathering high-ranked heroes, and self-training.
• Fubuki is her real name. The origin of her hero name comes from her raging winds that give birth to a visage of hell. As a result, "Hell" was added to her name.
• Despite being the more mature-looking, Fubuki is in fact 5 years younger than her sister Tatsumaki.
  • Lily once mistook Fubuki as the older sister of Tatsumaki. This is repeated by Do-S during her fight with Fubuki.
• In Murata's stream when describing what the characters look like in real world, Murata stated the Psychic sisters look French. This is likely referring to their fashion sense, because Fubuki's physical features are based on Japanese references.
• As a high schooler, Fubuki would normally stand with her back arched, due to old men constantly staring at her breasts.
• In some of his streamed drawing sessions, Murata appeared to draw Fubuki by referencing the body of AV idol Julia Kyoka, also known as Julia Boin.
• Fubuki and her name appear to be based on the yuki-onna, a yōkai famous for her breathtaking beauty that's said to appear in the middle of a blizzard:
  • In the 2017 One Punch Man Halloween cover, Fubuki is depicted as a yuki-onna surrounded by her own henchmen, dressed as snowmen, another reference to the yōkai.
  • As a child Fubuki is shown in a picture in her sister's flashback hugging a snowman doll.
• When Fubuki was young, she played with a ball resembling the Moon and a stuffed bunny. These two toys are both references to the moon rabbit.^{[citation needed]}
