Description
Hatz, alternately spelled Hatsu, is a sword-focused Regular driven by unwavering dedication to martial honor and personal pride. His journey into the Tower stems from a warrior’s resolve to protect his principles, though his separation from two younger siblings—forbidden from reuniting by the Tower’s laws—lingers as an unspoken weight.
Introduced in the 2nd Floor’s Deathmatch Test alongside allies Anak Zahard and Ship Leesoo, his combat style merges disciplined samurai techniques with katana mastery, clad in kimono-inspired garb. Rak Wraithraiser dubs him “Warrior Turtle,” a teasing homage to his tenacity.
Hatz values loyalty and despises those who betray combat ethics. His dry humor surfaces during the Crown Game, where he methodically stacks defeated foes—a subtle homage to yakuza tropes. Central to his identity is the sword “Psychopath,” mockingly named by Androssi Zahard. After a pivotal loss, he commits to grueling training, swinging his blade billions of times until even mundane objects like metal bars become lethal extensions of his skill.
His bond with Twenty-Fifth Baam shifts from casual camaraderie to fierce determination to remain relevant despite Baam’s meteoric growth. Defiant toward fate, he swears to challenge destiny itself if it endangers his comrades. In clashes aboard the Hell Train and within the Cat Tower, he wields the sentient sword Donghae, its power unlocked only through unclouded focus and combat integrity.
Hatz openly condemns adversaries like White, dismissing them as savages unworthy of the title “swordsman.” His loyalty to allies like Androssi remains unshakable, defending their unity against external manipulation. By the 52nd Floor, he aids Baam’s team in freeing brainwashed captives, confronting his limitations as a non-Ranker with pragmatic resolve.
Declarations like “Without a sword I am nothing. But depending on how I use it, even a common metal bar like this—!” encapsulate his evolution from rigid tradition to adaptable ingenuity, proving his strength lies as much in mindset as in steel.
