Overview

“

Pull out your Ultimate Hellfire Burst Wave Motion Cannon if you wish. In that same instant, I shall send your head flying.

”

— Platinum Sperm challenging King.^[1]

This article is about Platinum Sperm. Not to be confused with Black Sperm and Golden Sperm.

Platinum Sperm (白プラテ金ィナム精せい子し, Puratinamu Seishi; Viz: Platinum Spermatozoon) is the ultimate fusion of Black Sperm,^[2] and a member of the Monster Association. He was killed by Garou.

Appearance[]

Platinum Sperm is a very large and muscular humanoid with a metallic shine, yet with a much leaner body than Golden Sperm. His signature head shape is much longer than the regular Black Sperm clones. His signature element is his platinum shimmer, similar to Golden Sperm's golden color. The platinum shimmer extends over the top half of Platinum Sperm's face, similar to a mask.

Personality[]

Platinum Sperm is shown to be an extremely confident individual. He is confident enough to stand up against King without any signs of anxiety, even claiming that he can send the hero's head flying in an instant, showing an arrogant side as well. He is also very vain, describing himself as perfect and flawless.

He appears to have a tactical mind, as seen when he suggested Garou join forces to defeat Flashy Flash. He also seems to have a side to him that mocks his enemies. After demonstrating his superior speed over Flashy Flash's, the latter's specialty, and seeing him lose his calm, Platinum Sperm likens the ninja to Superalloy Darkshine, stating that he too, is the kind of hero who will abandon their duties and try to protect their pride if they encounter such situation.

Plot[]

Human Monster Saga[]

Monster Association Arc[]

Having grown paranoid and fearful of King's words and next movements, believing that the hero is looking down on him, Black Sperm is enraged and decides to merge all of his clones together in order to defeat King. All of the Black Sperm clones charge toward Golden Sperm and begin merging with him, while a unit of 100 Black Sperm cells is detached as insurance. Platinum Sperm is then born.

Platinum Sperm vs — Platinum Sperm readying to fight King

Right after birth, Platinum Sperm readies to face King, showing no signs of fear. After King unfolds his arms and seemingly prepares for his attack, Platinum Sperm stretches the tentacle on his head and incapacitates several heroes around King with it, which frightens him. He then states that he realizes King has desired to fight him in his perfect condition as the reason why he has not made his move yet. Platinum Sperm proceeds to challenge King, telling him to unleash his Ultimate Hellfire Burst Wave Motion Cannon while claiming that he himself will finish the hero by sending his head off at the same moment. As King is closing his eyes and shouting the name of his attack in an attempt to intimidate him, Garou dashes in the direction of Platinum Sperm and sends him flying with a single punch before proceeding to splash Evil Natural Water with multiple blows in extreme quick succession.

Platinum Sperm passing through Garou and Flash — Platinum Sperm interrupting Garou and Flashy Flash

As Flashy Flash shows up and is talking with Garou, Platinum Sperm recovers and interrupts them by simultaneously passing through the two and pummeling them. He is disappointed by Garou, commenting that despite the latter having monsterized so much, he still does not have the courage to join the monster side. Having recovered their balance, both Flashy Flash and Garou start a free-for-all battle with Platinum Sperm. The three of them begin exchanging blows at incredible speeds. During the fight, Platinum Sperm suggests Garou team up with him to defeat Flashy Flash, pointing out that the hero's been weakened due to losing his sword and saying that they can have a one-on-one battle immediately after beating him. As Garou pretends to agree with him, Platinum Sperm lets his guard down and is punched in the face by the Hero Hunter, much to his anger. While their fight continues, Garou begins to showcase his Monster Calamity God Slayer Fist, and momentarily repels both him and Flashy Flash.

As the fight intensifies, he and Garou begin to outmatch Flashy Flash, hurting the S-Class hero's pride of his speed. Flashy Flash is enraged and charges at him with his Flashy Fist, landing multiple punches on him, but Platinum Sperm is relatively unharmed by the attack and quickly uses his Platinum Rings to defend himself and stop the hero. While catching his wrist, Platinum Sperm comments that he now knows Flash's limits as a mere human before kicking him away. Flashy Flash quickly recovers and attacks Garou with his Flowing Shadow Feet, only for the Hero Hunter to deflect his kick away. At this moment, Platinum Sperm comes in and kicks Flashy Flash in the face, remarking that the hero is full of openings and asking what is wrong with his spirit. As he viciously pummels the S-Class hero, he likens him to Darkshine, saying that once they are outmatched by someone in their specialty, they abandon their duties and put all their effort into protecting their own pride. Platinum Sperm then finally defeats him by punching him in the face so hard that it sends the hero skyrocketing down into ground, knocking him out as a result.

Immediately after Flash's defeat, Platinum Sperm is engaged by Garou, and the two of them begin fighting for real. He is able to fight Garou on equal footing, exchanging numerous blows with him within only 1.3 milliseconds in the sky, before the Hero Hunter manages to send him skyrocketing into the surface. An injured Platinum Sperm gets up, becomes furious and calls out Garou. In an instant, Garou dashes through him, diving both his hands through his body, delivering a finishing blow that causes Platinum Sperm to explode into bits.

Abilities and Powers[]

As a fusion comprising 53 trillion 999 billion 999 million 999 thousand 900 cells of Black Sperm, Platinum Sperm is an extremely powerful being. He possesses an overwhelming aura as sensed by Atomic Samurai.^[3] In his battle against an evolved Garou and Flashy Flash, both formidable opponents, Platinum Sperm held his own for some time without exerting his full strength.^[4] Upon becoming more serious, he effortlessly defeated Flash and fought on equal footing with the further-evolved Garou before ultimately succumbing to the Hero Hunter.^[5]

Physical Abilities[]

Immense Strength: As the ultimate fusion of Black Sperm, a Dragon-level threat, Platinum Sperm is incredibly powerful. Using his head tentacle alone, he could seriously injure and incapacitate multiple heroes, including S-Class ones, with a single strike each, albeit some of them were already injured.^[3] When pushed to his limits, he matched an evolved Garou in strength, engaging in hundreds to thousands of blows before being defeated.

Immense Speed and Reflexes: Platinum Sperm possesses an astounding level of movement speed and reflexes and is among one of the fastest individuals shown. He was capable of repelling multiple heroes around him, including S-Class ones, in the blink of an eye using his tentacle without most of them being able to properly react.^[3] When Garou and Flashy Flash were talking to each other, Platinum Sperm could interrupt and pummel them so quickly that it appeared like he was merely "passing through" both of them.^[6] Notably, he was capable of keeping up with Flashy Flash and an evolved Garou in combat, the former of which being well-known for his extraordinary speed among heroes, generating a geometric structure of light through the sheer speed of their clashes.^[4] Upon getting more serious, he surpassed Flash's speed, leaving the hero astonished.^[7] At his peak, he demonstrated the ability to combat and travel at immense speeds, exchanging hundreds to thousands of blows with an evolved Garou while creating a denser geometric structure of light across vast distances in a mere 1.3 milliseconds (0.0013 seconds).^[8]

Immense Durability: Platinum Sperm possesses immense toughness. He was able to withstand a surprise punch from an evolved Garou to his face which launched him into the air but left no lasting damage on him.^[4] Despite taking a barrage of punches from Garou's Monster Calamity God Slayer Fist when the Hero Hunter first demonstrated it, he sustained no serious injuries.^[5] Furthermore, he was sturdy enough to take multiple punches from Flashy Flash, a powerful S-Class hero, with no visible signs of damage.^[9]

Enhanced Stamina: Within 0.0013 seconds, Platinum Sperm demonstrated the ability to move across vast distances in the sky of Z-City while trading numerous blows with Garou, and didn't show visible signs of exhaustion afterward.

Elastic Tentacle: Platinum Sperm can extend his head tentacle to significant lengths, using it as a whip to attack opponents even from a considerable distance.^[3] He can also employ his tentacle to restrain opponents, as demonstrated against Flashy Flash, immobilizing him by wrapping it around his neck while simultaneously attacking.^[4]

Fighting Style[]

Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Along with his immense strength and sheer speed, Platinum Sperm was also shown to be a formidable skilled fighter, enough to compete against Flashy Flash, a highly accomplished ninja. More remarkably, he was even capable of contending with Garou in pure hand-to-hand combat, the latter of which being arguably the most skilled martial artist in the world, able to evenly exchange hundreds to thousands of blows with him before finally being defeated.^[4]

Platinum Rings (不埒な回し受けプラティナムリング, Puratinamuringu): Platinum Sperm rotates his arms and his tentacle to deflect attacks, allowing him to ward off punches from Flashy Flash.

(To Flashy Flash) "Is there something wrong with your spirit? Just like Darkshine, when you're outclassed by someone in your specialty, you abandon your duties and put all your effort into protecting your own pride. That's what being a hero is all about, right?"^[12]
- "A being who truly wants to help the weak... does not exist!"^[13]
