Awakened Cockroach

Background

Awakened Cockroach was a Demon-level Mysterious Being and a member of the Monster Association. He was eaten by Orochi.

Awakened Cockroach attacks C-City as part of the organized strikes against the human cities. He defeats 3 heroes with apparent ease and encounters Genos, warning him that he is strong.

During the fight with Genos, Awakened Cockroach maintains superiority, blocking or dodging every attack by Genos, while sending out his own attacks, outmaneuvering the cyborg with his speed and tricky movements. Awakened Cockroach has the upper hand until Genos decides to use instant adhesive to trap the monster, which was originally meant for use against speedster villains like Speed-o'-Sound Sonic. However, before Genos can kill the monster, Awakened Cockroach sacrifices his feet to get away.

After his battle with Genos, Awakened Cockroach goes to the Monster Association Headquarters in order to partake in a meeting that the monsters were having. During the meeting, Orochi impales Awakened Cockroach with one of his horns after realizing that he lost a battle prior to the meeting. Despite begging for mercy and asking other monsters to save him, Awakened Cockroach is devoured and killed by the Monster King while the other monsters watch in horror.
