    Bolge (ボルゲ, Boruge)
    Bolge was a blind thug leader from the final arc of the manga. He was a gruesome looking man with a disfigured head made of artificial skin, reinforced with metal. It was revealed that Bolge was blinded by Kenshirō during a previous fight, and because of this he carried a violent grudge against him. He preyed on every person to have wounded him, right down to the tiniest scar. Bolge murdered his enemies by slicing their eyes clean out and inflicting seven wounds on their chest, as a declaration against Kenshirō. Despite being blind, Bolge had acute hearing and secret weapons stored about his body.
    To protect Kenshirō and Lin, who were both suffering with amnesia, Bat fought Bolge in Kenshirō's stead. However, his plan failed and he was slowly tortured by Bolge. Kenshirō returns with his memory restored and defeats Bolge with the Hyakurestu Ken. Somehow, Bolge survives long enough to grab Lin in order to take her life with him. Bat uses the last of his strength to intervene and kill Bolge, sacrificing himself in the process.

    Trivia

    Bolge is probably based on the argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges, counting that both are blind and have a look-alike face.
