Lost Cat

Lightning Genji, Stinger, Genos, Peach Terry, and Heavy Kong were assigned to secretly take care of Grizzly Nyah. Lightning Genji and Stinger were able to take care of one of the children, but had to ultimately run away from the mother. Lightning Genji stunned the Grizzly Nyah, while Stinger sliced its arm off.

Abilities and Powers

Being an A-Class hero charged with protecting D-City, it can be assumed that Lightning Genji is a rather powerful individual. Together he and Stinger managed to heavily injure a child Grizzly Nyah, a Disaster Level Demon monster.

Fighting Style

Dual-wield Stun Rods Style (スタンバトン二刀流, Sutanbaton Nitōryū): As its name suggests, it is a fighting style involving two stun rods.

He is also skilled at wielding them like normal sticks in combat, holding his own against two Tiger Level monsters at the same time.

• Max Voltage (電圧MAX, Den'atsu MAX): Lightning Genji hits his opponent with his stun rods with maximum voltage output. He can only use this technique a limited number of times. This is first used against a child Grizzly Nyah.

Equipment

Roller Skates: He uses a pair of roller skates during battles. His roller skates are linked with his battery.
