Summary
Bacterian is a massive and unhygienic fighter who competed in the 21st Tenka-ichi Budokai. He has never washed or brushed his teeth since birth and weaponizes his foul odor, forcing opponents to hold their noses so he can land easier hits. His moveset consists of repulsive attacks, including spitting on victims and touching them with groin sweat. Kuririn nearly falls to him until Son Goku points out that Kuririn only smells the stench because he is imagining it due to lacking a nose, a visual joke referencing Kuririn’s drawn appearance. Once Kuririn realizes this, he defeats Bacterian almost instantly. In the anime adaptation, it is revealed that he was homeless and lived in a city dump. He is later attacked and killed by Tambourine, but is revived later thanks to the Dragon Balls.
