Maruhage Empire - Known Antagonists

Known Antagonists

• Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo: One of the five children of the Hair Kingdom, he has chosen to take down the empire after being sacrificed by his father to the Hair Hunters. As he travels around the world, he continuously takes out one Hair Hunt block after another in order to bring peace to the world.
• Hajike Gang: A strange squadron first encountered around Hajike Town, it is led by the bizarre leader Don Patch. While they do not find too much in common with the Maruhage Empire in general, they particularly take offense to the H-Block "Wig Gang". However, Don Patch does eventually join in the battle against the empire.
• Heppokomaru / Gasser: A teen boy from Puppu City, he was part of a resistance movement within his hometown against the Maruhage empire, working with his teacher Fundoshitarō (Loincloth Lloyd) to take down local Hair Hunters, particularly Gunkan. But when his friend is captured and he finds himself on the lam, he wanders across Bo-bobo and Beauty, trying to team up with them while being pursued by assassins sent by Gunkan. He too eventually joins Bo-bobo's side.
• Hatenko: Another citizen of the Hair Kingdom, he left at a young age to search for the missing Bo-bobo due to the problems at home. Along the way, he takes out any Hair Hunters in the way, but gains bad blood because of such. (in particular with the legendary "Joke Killer" Torpedo Girl, who's alliance is unknown) He also has ties with Don Patch's Hajike Gang.
• Giga & the Cyber Empire: Considered an equal to Tsurulina the 4th, Giga leads his own technologically advanced island of Cyber City far away from the jurisdiction of the largest empire. Though occasionally asked for assistance, Giga prefers to keep to his own twisted art, invading other lands only to gather Shinken users to create more of his bizarre masterpieces. The island is penetrated and defeated two times: once by the Hajike rebels to rescue fellow member Heppokomaru, and later by the Neo-Maruhage Blue Elite Corp.
• Hydrate & the Reverse Maruhage Empire: Although he is the younger brother of the emperor, Hydrate holds bad blood after being forgotten, abandoned and thrown into the Dark World ten years prior. Gathering an alliance of several of the most powerful warriors of this world, he has created an empire of his own deep underground, with the primary objective of coming to the surface and claiming a birthright to be the emperor of his brother's kingdom! Although most of his forces consist of warriors from the Dark World, his alliances also include "Catharsis of Babylon" Byakkō and Hair Child Bebebe-be Be-bebe.
• Shigeki X: The original leader of the legendary Shigeki Empire, it has been said he controlled one of the few kingdoms in the entire world that was able to resist the powers of the Maruhage Empire, even drawing infamy from Tsuru Tsurulina the 3rd. Although the kingdom is no longer in existence, it has been said he may be allied currently with forces in the Hair Kingdom...
