Awakened Cockroach is a mysterious being who appears during the Monster Association arc, demonstrating exceptional speed and combat awareness. 

As a Disaster Level Demon threat, he evolved from a regular cockroach after developing an intense fear of being stepped on, which ironically transformed him into a humanoid creature capable of fighting back against his fears. 

His most notable trait is his extraordinary speed and precognitive abilities, allowing him to sense and evade incoming attacks before they happen.

Appearance

  • Humanoid Cockroach: Awakened Cockroach is a monster cockroach that looks like a human. He has the face of a man and a brownish red exoskeleton covering his body and limbs. He has four arms, two legs, and cockroach wings behind him.
  • Two Long Antennas: Long antennas protrude from his head, enhancing his insect-like appearance and likely aiding his reflexes and awareness.
  • Slim and Agile Build: Awakened Cockroach has a sleek and wiry physique, built for speed and quick reflexes rather than brute strength.
  • Exoskeleton Armor: His body is covered in a durable shell, providing decent resistance to physical attacks, though not impenetrable.

Personality

  • Cocky and Confident: He takes immense pride in his speed and reflexes, often mocking opponents who fail to keep up with him.
  • Sadistic and Playful: Awakened Cockroach enjoys taunting and toying with his enemies in battle, treating fights as a game.
  • Survival-Oriented: True to his cockroach theme, he prioritizes survival above all else. When faced with overwhelming danger, he will not hesitate to retreat to ensure his own safety.
  • Strategic: Despite his arrogant attitude, he is not reckless. He analyzes his opponent’s weaknesses and exploits them during combat.

Quote

I’ll tell you in advance, even if you could attack at the speed of light, you still wouldn’t hit me. My body dodges killing intent and dodges on its own in advance.

Abilities, Power, and Skills:

  • Superhuman Speed and Agility: This is his most notable trait, repeatedly emphasized in his fight against Genos. He moves so quickly that Genos, a highly advanced cyborg, struggles to land a hit.
  • Enhanced Strength: While his primary asset is speed, Awakened Cockroach also displays considerable strength, landing a blow that sends Genos tumbling.
  • Self-Amputation: When trapped by Genos’s adhesive, he detaches his own feet to escape.
  • Enhanced Reflexes: He possesses reflexes sharp enough to react to high-velocity projectiles and close-range attacks. This agility allows him to stay a step ahead of most opponents in combat.
  • Wall-Scaling and Maneuverability: True to his cockroach theme, he can climb walls and move through tight spaces with ease. Combined with his agility, this makes him extremely versatile in different environments.
  • Flight: His insect-like wings grant him the ability to perform short bursts of flight, aiding in both offense and evasion during combat.
  • Enhanced Durability: While not invincible, his chitin-like exoskeleton provides him with a degree of protection against physical attacks.
  • Combat Proficiency: Awakened Cockroach is skilled in close-quarters combat, combining swift melee strikes with his claws and legs. His unpredictable movements give him an edge over less adaptive fighters.
  • Unpredictability: Because of his cockroach-like traits and the ability to sense killing intently, his moves become so unpredictable that even the S-Class hero Genos had a hard time landing an attack.
