When the Goblins attack the world, Teppei grew afraid of the new world but became confident after seeing the wise board and wanted to become a "knight" to protect everyone.

Story[]

Abilities[]

Teppei's Iron Form

Iron Goblin Form.

Goblin Physiology: Teppei is a goblin, but he can control his transformation to keep his personality intact.[3]

Skills[]

  • Transformation Control: Teppei has shown to have complete control over his transformation,[3] but during fits of rage he will transform unconsciously.[4] He has also shown to be capable of partially transforming parts of his body into his fully Goblin form.[5]
  • Pyrokinesis: Teppei is capable of producing flames from his body and is able to use it for various purposes, such as producing a ball of fire in his hand to illuminate dark places,[6] or to infuse his fists with heat energy.[7] However, if he uses his flames too much, he risks overheating his body and needs to cool down. His Iron Skin has been shown to melt and fall off under this heat.[8]
  • Iron Skin: Teppei's partially and fully transformed states have iron skin, which grants him both increased offense and defense. In his full Goblin form, he was able to take a direct hit from Kirio's wind attack with absolutely no damage sustained,[9] and only took slight damage from Numazawa's acid, which would have dissolved any other substance almost instantly.[10] He is also shown to be bullet proof and managed to withstand a direct hit from a grenade launcher with no visible damage.
  • Superhuman Strength: Teppei has incredible strength, even for a goblin. He is able to lift up and throw a car with little effort,[11] and is capable of killing a horde of lesser goblins with relative ease.[12]
  • Superhuman Durability: Teppei is shown to have incredible endurance, as he was able to get blasted away and slammed into the ground by Kirio, and get back up as if nothing had happened.[13]
  • Metal Working: Teppei has shown to be able to handle melted iron, making it possible for him to cast metal.[14] However, as he doesn't have any casting techniques or sanding tools yet, he can only construct simple tools or weapons for hitting, stabbing or protection.[15]

Equipment[]

  • Scale Shield (鱗の盾 Uroko no Tate): By using his own melted iron and hardening it, Teppei created this shield. It is made of layers over layers of iron scales because he needed to use it to counter Numazawa's acid.[16]
  • Demon Bone Crusher (鬼骨砕き Oni Honekudaki): By using his own melted iron and hardening it, Teppei created a big iron plate, with a handle, which he uses to hit his target with a lot of force.[17]

  • (To Kirio Karasuba after he states that Teppei's power is meant to destroy mankind) "You think I'm going to do that just because I've gotten a bit of power, you tengu bastard? I'm not like all of you! I won't become an ogre or a demon like you lot! I'm going to fight for the people important to me! I'm going to fight for the person who gave me courage just now! I'll become a knight who protects everyone!"[20]
  • (To himself) "I'll climb back to my feet however many times I need to, and keep fighting...!!"[21]
  • (To Numazawa) "Shut up, you eyesore! Going and getting a big head just 'cause you got your grubby hands on that filth of a power...just looking at a sleazebag like you makes me wanna puke. Go die in a ditch."[22]
  • (To Yuki) "Shut up! You're wrong! My power exists to protect everyone! I'll keep fighting and protecting people! And its not like I've lost my friends, either! A man's friends will always be his friends, even if they cut all ties!"[23]
