Background / History

Bald Head is a player who modeled his transformed appearance after a bald-headed hero. His true form is an Asmo Descendant with silver hair, which he hides through innate Polymorph; Lin Yun identifies his race through Detect Race after initially suspecting further magical disguises. 352 427 523

Before joining the party, he was an ordinary but notably kind and calm person: he yielded to pedestrians, helped the elderly, and pursued thieves. He frequently fought alongside a “bald demon king,” though he was usually beaten before that figure ended the fight with a single punch. The demon king valued Bald Head's character and gave him a pair of nearly indestructible gauntlets with an expanded critical-hit range. 354

He first clashes with Lin Yun's group while wearing monk-like armor and red gloves. Lin Yun's Anti-Magic Field reveals him from camouflage, but Bald Head proves to be a melee specialist rather than a spellcaster, rapidly striking Cow Girl with his signature Ora Ora Ora barrage. After Lin Yun gives him a healing potion, Bald Head does not hold their fight against him; Warrior Girl subsequently recommends recruiting him. 352 355

As a party member, he becomes a dependable frontline fighter in the battles surrounding Kaede Village. He fights beside Little Dog against Wa Wan's ceramic army, burrows underground to infiltrate the enemy line, and returns to critically strike Wa Wan three times in succession. 426 427

Appearance

Bald Head normally presents himself as a bald monk-like fighter, an appearance created through innate Polymorph rather than his natural form. 427 523

• Bald head, frequently described as reflective under strong light. 552
• Golden eyes. 352
• Monk-robed or monk-like armor. 352
• Distinctive red, plastic-like gloves. 352
• True form has silver hair and is that of an Asmo Descendant. 427
• Later uses Earth Elemental form and can transform into a stone golem. 579 1139

Personality

Bald Head is fundamentally good-natured and steady rather than impulsive. He actively tries to avoid unnecessary killing; when stopping a potentially dangerous situation, he deliberately uses a non-lethal neck strike despite the accuracy penalty required to hold back his overwhelming strength. 354 606

His confidence in combat is balanced by a willingness to rely on his allies. He appreciates Lin Yun's preparations and protective support, admitting that being able to charge ahead while Lin Yun handles buffs and contingencies is reassuring. 593 He also shows empathy toward Enju, trusting her desire for freedom despite Little Dog's warnings. 429

Abilities & Skills

Martial Arts

Bald Head is a high-speed melee combatant whose bare-handed strikes can pierce armor, stone, metal, and even Adamantine-like materials.

• Uses Steel Fury Blow, Steel Fury Strike, Soul-Quality Shatter Strike, and Finishing Kick as heavy offensive techniques. 541 624 653
• Can launch rapid multi-hit barrages with Ora Ora Ora. 352 552 654
• His palm-finger strikes can pierce Orochi's body to the wrist. 654
• A normal punch carries a +10 damage bonus, making lethal force against ordinary people a serious concern. 606
• His critical hits are unusually frequent due in part to his special gauntlets. 354 427

Bronze Finger and Stone Finger

Bronze Finger modifies his attacks into piercing hand strikes and can ignore any target's damage reduction. Its upgraded form, Stone Finger, further enhances his claws and fingers. 429 654 718

• Uses Fractured Time Structure to consume an unused martial skill and reroll missed attacks. 429
• Stone Finger combines with Fusion Ki to create wind-blade attacks. 718
• Fusion Penetration increases Fusion damage by 50% and can bypass elemental immunity. 718

Moonlit Flow and Time Techniques

Bald Head possesses evasive and time-manipulating martial arts, though time-based techniques are suppressed or harmful in the Type-Moon world. 1140

• Half-Step Soul Departure turns him into an afterimage or semi-transparent form to evade attacks. 426 543 681
• Phantom Half-Shadow is a Moonlit Flow escape technique. 1140
• Interrupted Hourglass is his sole 9th-ring martial skill; it steals a moment of time when an enemy attacks, allowing him to act before the blow lands. 718
• Phantom Sun Stance stacks with Haste and Time Leap, increasing his attacks from four to six in roughly six seconds. 429
• Time-related techniques cannot be used reliably in the Type-Moon setting and may cause nausea or paralysis. 1140

Vortex and Elemental Techniques

Bald Head can manipulate elemental Qi for mobility, defense, and offense.

• Vortex Flow, Earth allows him to burrow into and travel through the ground. 426
• Vortex, Fire leaves a flame-like trail as he runs. 517
• Whirlpool Water lets him breathe and move freely underwater. 687
• Fusion Ki improves his reaction speed, movement, attack speed, and adds sharp Qi-blade damage to his strikes. 643 654
• Uses Earth Elemental form for subterranean escape and transformation-based combat. 579 1141

Unbreakable

Unbreakable is a risky defensive technique tied to Constitution or perception saving throws.

• Adds half of Bald Head's Charisma modifier as a luck bonus; with Blessed, this gives him a +3 luck bonus. 428
• A successful save restores martial skills equal to his Charisma modifier. 428
• A failed save still restores one martial skill, but imposes a -2 penalty on all checks for roughly six seconds. 428
• Allows him to resist effects such as Ghoul's Touch even after suffering devastating injuries. 543

Sandglass Crush

Sandglass Crush manifests an illusory sandglass inside a struck target.

• Forces a Constitution saving throw on a successful hit. 542
• Failure causes paralysis for 6–24 seconds. 542
• Success inflicts an effect equivalent to slow. 542

Dimensional Wave

Despite preferring hand-to-hand combat, Bald Head calls himself a long-range fighter when needed. 588

• Fires a blue, spatial energy blast from his hands. 588 592
• Deals force damage and ignores magic resistance. 669
• Can be used after Dimensional Door-like movement or during a Martial Charge. 592
• Its wide area can endanger nearby allies, as Little Dog notes after narrowly avoiding it. 598

Elemental Energy Beams

Bald Head can fire five energy beams from his fingers.

• The beams are non-magical, bypass Spell Resistance, and do not allow saving throws. 1147
• Acid and fire beams strike King Hassan and inflict Blind, Nausea, and Burning. 1147
• King Hassan suppresses these conditions with Mythic Power. 1147

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Special Gauntlets — nearly indestructible, Adamantine-like gauntlets with a critical-hit range beginning on a natural 15; gifted by the bald demon king. 354
• Chameleon Ring — provides camouflage used alongside Bald Head's Ambush ability. 681
• Extraordinary Physique Belt — grants a +4 bonus to Strength, Agility, and Constitution. 662
• Prayer Beads — carried during the confrontation with Noble Son and Miroku. 517

Relationships

• Lin Yun — teammate who initially fights Bald Head, later recruits and repeatedly supports him with healing, buffs, and tactical preparation. 355 579 593
• Little Dog — frequent battlefield partner; Bald Head fights beside him against Wa Wan and shares news about Kikyo after returning from his underground journey. 426 523
• Warrior Girl — advocates for Bald Head's recruitment after witnessing his strength. 355
• Enju — confides in Bald Head about her wish for freedom; he chooses to trust and help her. 429
• Sun Kui — works with Bald Head to investigate and confront King Hassan after Bald Head escapes underground. 1146
• King Hassan — overwhelms Bald Head after disabling his martial options; Bald Head initially escapes through Earth Elemental burrowing but is later killed by Hassan. 1141 1148

Story Role / Major Arcs

Recruitment and Ceramic Army Battle

After his initial attack on the group, Bald Head becomes part of Lin Yun's team. During the battle against Wa Wan and Enju's ceramic army, he evades a Fireball with Half-Step Soul Departure, burrows underground with Vortex Flow, and emerges to destroy Wa Wan's head with three critical hits. 352 355 426 427

He then confronts Wa Wan's ceramic Demon. He survives being caught underground, breaks free from its grip through brute strength, and uses Phantom Sun Stance, Bronze Finger, and Fractured Time Structure to punch through its body before Kagome's Purification Arrow destroys it. 428 429

Naraku and Orochi Conflicts

Bald Head acts as a durable frontline attacker against Naraku's miasma and tentacles, using Unbreakable to resist debilitating effects and Sandglass Crush to hinder a Naraku duplicate. 541 543 He later joins Lin Yun's pincer assault on Orochi, using Steel Fury Blow and successive Bronze Finger strikes to pierce Orochi's body. 653 654

After Orochi's severed leg attempts to escape underground, Bald Head retrieves it so Lin Yun can destroy it safely. 655

High-Level Martial Battles

By Level 17, Bald Head deploys Lunar Eclipse, Stone Finger, Fusion Penetration, and Interrupted Hourglass against Xiang Yu's phantom. His first overwhelming barrage inflicts at least 400 damage, but the real Xiang Yu ambushes him immediately afterward and nearly severs his shoulder. Lin Yun's Displacement prevents Bald Head from being killed in a single round. 718 719

He later damages the diamond-bodied Housenki with his claws, but suffers heavily when Housenki's diamond lance pierces through his armor and body. 729

Holy Grail War

Bald Head arrives on a Moon Dragon to assist against Heracles and the Sea Demon. 1132 As a stone golem and Steel Fist Vanguard, he uses a multi-hit Ora Ora Ora assault to break through the Sea Demon and destroy Bluebeard's core. 1139 1140

King Hassan interrupts the battle by sealing the surrounding space and preventing Bald Head from using his martial arts. Bald Head escapes by burrowing underground in Earth Elemental form, then later returns with Sun Kui to analyze Hassan's capabilities. 1140 1141 1146 He successfully inflicts Blind, Nausea, and Burning on Hassan, but is ultimately caught after Hassan overcomes the effects of Liu Xiu's meteor strike and kills him with a sword charge. 1147 1148
