Description
Gazelleman is a Tanzanian gazelle-type wrestler, a top graduate of the Hercules Factory who achieved the number one rank in his class. Despite this prestigious standing, he often suffers defeats in matches, frequently used to showcase antagonist strength. Initially assigned to protect Tokyo alongside Mantaro Kinniku, he frequently expresses frustration with Mantaro's laziness and lack of dedication.
He stands 193-205 cm (6'4"-6'7") tall, weighs 136 kg (302 lbs), and possesses a Choujin Power rating of 1,000,000. His signature techniques are the Antler Fist, an aerial strike delivered with an antler-adorned glove, and the Savannah Heat, an advanced move capable of splitting opponents into three parts, first seen in V-Jump manga.
During the d.M.p Arc, Gazelleman attempts to discipline Mantaro but is quickly defeated by Kevin Mask. He intervenes when d.M.p attacks Mantaro's residence but is overpowered and injured, preventing further participation and relegating him to a spectator role. He assists with merchandise sales and provides commentary, efforts often depicted as comically ineffective.
In the HF Second Year Replacement Matches, Gazelleman faces Jade. Despite high ticket sales fueled by his popularity, he is taunted for being out of shape. After a brief resurgence, he loses due to depleted stamina and suffers a severe injury from Jade's "Red Rain of Berlin," leading to an extended hospital stay. He later returns to support Mantaro in the semi-finals but is hospitalized again after confronting Scarface.
For the Chojin Olympics: The Resurrection, Gazelleman returns to Tanzania, winning the national preliminary championship by defeating Sky Crow. He loses in the global preliminaries, falling for a trick during a "Rock, Paper, Scissors" match, attributed to his inherent curiosity. Throughout the main tournament, he serves primarily as comic relief, including unsuccessful attempts at reverse psychology to sway audience support for Mantaro. He volunteers to replace an injured Kevin Mask but is dismissed by doubting peers.
In the Demon Seed Arc, Gazelleman helps row Mars toward General Rib and defends Kevin Mask after a tag-team loss. He later assists in Mantaro's training by taunting him about Kevin's superiority and, alongside Terry the Kid, uses robotic arms to simulate the Ultimate Asuraman Buster technique to hone Mantaro's combat skills, highlighting his role as a supportive teammate.
Across his appearances, Gazelleman evolves from a top-ranked graduate to a character defined by comedic losses and loyal support. His early potential is overshadowed by frequent defeats, yet he remains a consistent presence in group dynamics, providing encouragement and participating in critical training initiatives, emphasizing resilience amid recurring humiliations and injuries.
