Stinger is a 24-year-old male hero from One-Punch Man, ranked 10th in A-Class, known for his bamboo shoot-shaped spear “Takenoko” and his exceptional combat power against aquatic and deep sea monsters.
Name: Stinger
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Affiliation: Hero Association
Hero Rank: A-Class Rank 10 (formerly Rank 11)
Stinger has a bright, cheerful, and energetic personality.
He tends to be somewhat overconfident, but his strength largely backs up his attitude.
Despite his pride, he shows genuine concern for civilians and fellow heroes.
He is willing to put himself in danger both in combat and in rescue efforts.
Stinger is a powerful spear-wielding hero who specializes in close- to mid-range combat.
He uses a unique spear whose tip resembles a bamboo shoot, nicknamed “Takenoko.”
He once defeated ten Deep Sea tribe monsters, each considered disaster level Tiger, entirely on his own.
This feat demonstrates his ability to control crowds of enemies while maintaining overwhelming offensive pressure.
In terms of physical durability, it is stated that if a C-Class red-scarf hero’s physical toughness is 100, Stinger’s is about 1600.
This massive gap highlights how far above average his body strength and resilience are compared to lower-ranked heroes.
Stinger’s signature weapon is his beloved spear “Takenoko.”
The spear has a tip shaped like a bamboo shoot, giving it a distinct, layered, drill-like appearance.
He uses this spear both for piercing attacks and for spinning techniques that boost penetration power.
The weapon is central to his combat style and his image as a hero.
Gigantic Drill Stinger
Stinger’s special move involves rapidly spinning his spear to greatly increase its piercing power.
He then unleashes a high-speed thrust that acts like a living drill, boring straight through enemy bodies.
In one notable display, he fires off this attack four times in quick succession.
Within an instant, he opens holes in four separate enemies, showing both speed and precision.
During the Deep Sea King incident, Stinger confronts the threat but ends up being defeated.
After this battle, he is hospitalized alongside the hero Inazumax due to their injuries.
He later recovers and is discharged from the hospital.
After the catastrophic destruction of City A, Stinger rushes to the ruined area to help.
In the aftermath of City A’s devastation, he dedicates himself to rescuing survivors and aiding the wounded.
This shows that he is not only a fighter on the front lines but also a hero committed to disaster relief and support.
