After losing
his home in the Ikaruga Civil War and his master Tenjo at the hands of Jin
Kisaragi, Bang and his followers began living in Kagutsuchi waiting for the
right moment to strike back at Jin and the NOL. There, he declares himself a
hero of love and justice and dedicates himself to exterminating evil and
overturning injustice wherever he goes. He is quite over-exuberant, prone to
speeches and tangents as well as making dramatic entrances. He has a romantic
fascination with Litchi, always willing to go charging
in headlong if he sees someone making her upset.
He is overzealous in every way, subtlety not usually at the forefront of his
mind, however his fiery spirit and will have earned him the respect of a few
characters, most notably Hakumen. He also wants Ragna's
bounty to rebuild the glory of Ikaruga. In the home console version, when he
uses his Fuu Rin Ka Zan move, its own theme song, "Omae no Tetsui ni
Kugi wo Ute", sung by Hironobu Kageyama, will start playing. This song,
along with his choice of clothing, movement and mannerisms, is derived as a
parody of the tokusatsu hero concept, more specifically Kamen rider.
