Falete
I mean, Gourmet
Sadao Makihara
Spanish incultural note:
Falete is a male Spanish singer size XXL who looks like a woman and is generally caricatured on TV comedy shows as an eat-it-all cartoon. His ex boyfriend,
a young man who faked his own kidnapping apparently to get rid of Falete with money, is frequently parodied as well. They have nothing to do with YYH, actually.
Posts so far:
Intro to Sensui's arc Doctor Seaman 1 &
2 Sniper Game Master 1 &
2 They finally reach the cave were Sensui and Itsuki await. Makihara is keeping Kuwabara hostage inside a boat in the middle of the cave lake. Sensui offers to return Kuwabara to Yusuke & friends, if they manage to defeat Makihara, alias Gourmet.
Gourmet has the ability of absorbing other people's abilities by eating them alive. Not even Sylar had to go that far.
He has already eaten Tapping, one of Yusuke's comrades in this arc, who had the ability to read people's hearts. So he can read them.
He provokes Kurama, whom he teases about the turmoil he feels after having killed Amanuma. Kurama tells Yusuke to leave it to him.
And in barely two seconds...
...He's taken care of Gourmet.
But Kurama is not fooled. He knows who's hiding inside the unfortunate youth.
Toguro's Older brother, henceforth creepy Toguro, who had been badly dissintegrated by his younger brother at the Ankokubujutsukai finals.
Sensui rescued him from the sea, attracted by his signal, and recruited him. Sensui had Gourmet eat him but, the boy wasn't able to digest him properly and creepy Toguro had completely taken over his mind.
So now creepy Toguro reunites the abilities of Tapping and Gourmet (reading people's minds/hearts and eating their abilities -literally!), together with his own self-regenerating ability. He believes himself invincible.
He is going to eat Kurama's lame-ass abilities too.
Kurama reacts by silently emiting some strange gas from his hands.
Which envolves himself and creepy Toguro completely.
Creepy Toguro soon believes to have caught him unawares and attacks without hesitation:
Kurama remains unperturbed. Creepy Toguro is puzzled.
This is what really happened:
"Why!? Why don't you dieee!?"
Kurama had planted a seed of that terrible plant at the same time he'd cut his head in two with his whip.
That plant produces illusions that feel completely real, while feeding from its victim until the victim dies.
But since creepy Toguro self-regenerates continually, he will never die and the plant will keep feeding off him as he fights Kurama in his mind forever and ever.
Kurama won't even grant death to the likes of him.
