Power Progression

History

In Meteor City, Uvogin and Nobunaga were beaten after fighting a group of thugs over scarce food. Ian later helped Uvogin, Nobunaga and Machi learn Nen. Hoping to repay Chrollo and his companions for past help, Uvogin asked Ian to take talented friends with them when they left the city 6 8.

Uvogin killed Angsa, a supply-exchange official, and was captured by Ron of the Third Elder’s forces, who saw potential in him. In prison, Uvogin fought Tanik and refused Ron’s offer to serve the Third Elder. Ian broke his cell lock and smuggled him out under an invisible cloak while their companions waited outside 21 22 24 25.

Outside Meteor City, Uvogin fought Xierku Family guards and helped the group approach street gangs for identity information. His subsequent fights exposed both his strength and his lack of refined technique: he injured his own hand against Walker, fought Silva with help from the group’s items, and was badly outmatched by Knov before developing his whole-body defense 38 48 58 78 103.

Uvogin continued training and became Netero’s disciple with Ian’s guidance. Later, his boast that he would surpass Netero triggered the Gate of Glory’s rules, trapping him and his companions inside for 274 days. Ian eventually removed the gate’s restrictions and invited Cat Teacher to continue training them 230 341 344.

Appearance

Uvogin has a burly, muscular build that is unusually large for his age 15 125.

• Spiky hair, thick brows and large eyes 34 103
• Thick arms with prominent veins and sharply defined muscles 125
• Sharp canine teeth 341

Personality

Uvogin is forthright, hot-tempered and eager to fight. He readily confronts stronger opponents, sometimes charging in without considering their abilities. He can also be boastful: his promise to surpass Netero trapped his companions in the Gate of Glory 57 192 341.

He is fiercely loyal to Ian and his friends. He refused Ron’s offer because he wanted to follow Ian, and his conviction to protect Ian shaped his defensive Nen technique. Despite his rivalry with Nobunaga, the two remain close and frequently tease each other 22 24 103.

Abilities & Skills

Enhancement and physical combat

Uvogin relies on physical strength and Enhancement Nen, favoring direct attacks. Netero noted his strong physique and Nen reserves, but Knov exploited his crude technique and poor defensive coverage 103.

• Beat a group of ordinary Xierku Family guards and later subdued street punks 38 48.
• Continued attacking Silva after being shocked by his Nen lightning 78.
• Remains vulnerable to restrictive abilities: Ging’s talismans immobilized him, and Eluna’s chains restrained him despite his strength 128 192.

Destruction Punch

Uvogin compresses Nen around his fist and commits his strength and will to a single punch. Ian regarded it as an early form of Big Bang Impact 58.

• Its impact cratered the ground when Walker dodged 58.
• The missed blow mangled Uvogin’s right hand and used considerable Nen 58.
• Concentrating Nen in one point leaves the rest of his body poorly defended, a weakness Knov exploited 103.

Whole-body Nen defense

During his fight with Knov, Uvogin imagined himself as a shield for Ian and reinforced his entire body with Nen 103 104.

• He remained unmoved by a Nen-enhanced punch to the chin and endured a series of further blows 103 104.
• The defense consumed Nen; Uvogin noticed it running low before switching to an attack with his gauntlets 104.

Equipment

• Cool Gauntlets — Red gauntlets made through White Crane’s Gratitude. Shouting “Haohyougen” forces Uvogin into a glowing, leaping uppercut; the move leaves openings 67.
• Four Guardian Gate — A shield made specifically for Uvogin. Its door-panel form has an “indestructible” attribute; other forms include limb armor and a torso-covering tortoise shell. When its rage meter is full, it can release attack values absorbed by its non-default forms in one burst 125.
• Giant steel spider — A cockpit-operated vehicle Ian made for him with the Paper-Cutting Book. It can walk and climb the Magic Bean vine 293.

Relationships

• Ian — Close friend and protector. Ian taught him Nen, rescued him from prison and helped arrange his apprenticeship; Uvogin strives to be his strongest shield 8 21 24 230.
• Nobunaga — Close companion and frequent rival. They fought together in Meteor City, tease each other and compete in training 6 24 246.
• Machi — Close companion who joined the effort to rescue him and sometimes reins in his temper 21 24.
• Chrollo Lucilfer — A friend Uvogin wanted to bring out of Meteor City in repayment for his past help. Chrollo guided the prison rescue 8 21.
• Feitan — Rival and companion. Each defeated the other in an earlier fight; Feitan later joined the effort to rescue Uvogin 15 21.
• Netero — Uvogin’s martial arts master. Uvogin came to respect his love of fighting and hoped to face him in a duel 188 230.
• Ron — The Third Elder’s man who captured and defeated Uvogin. Uvogin vowed revenge for the humiliation 22 25.
• Cat Teacher — Martial arts instructor who trained Uvogin inside the Gate of Glory and criticized him for focusing on hard training rather than getting stronger 341.
