Bat: Difference between revisions

: Bat is a young thief who follows [[Kenshiro]] on his journey, believing he can use his strength as a means to survive in the harsh wasteland. It turns out that Bat originally left the home of his adoptive family so that his mother [[Toyo]] could take care of the younger orphans. Bat becomes Kenshiro's self-appointed sidekick, and although he is initially a brash, insensitive kid, having been desensitized to the violence of the post-war era, Bat grows into a mature companion. He proves to have his uses, with his ability for fixing gadgets and driving the dune buggy that he uses to traverse the wasteland, and his tricky character allows him to get out of some sticky situations. During their adventures, Bat develops a fondness for [[Lin]] and watches over her like a big brother. He also looks up to Kenshiro and witnesses many great battles throughout the series.

: Bat later becomes the leader of the Hokuto Army - a resistance movement who fight against the corrupt Imperial Forces and its leader, [[Jakou]]. He also finds himself falling in love with Lin, who fights by his side. When Lin is kidnapped and taken to the [[Shura no Kuni|Land of Asura]], Bat secretly follows Kenshiro to save her. Lin is rescued, however, the {{nihongo|Shikanhaku|死環白}} pressure point inflicted by [[Kaioh]] causes her to fall in love with the first person she sees. Bat is prepared to let her fall in love with Kenshiro, but he continues his journey, leaving Lin with Bat, insisting that only he can make her happy.
