Description
Tongue is one of three identical triplets collectively The Mouth, alongside Lips and Teeth. They operate as a single entity in combat, exhibiting flawless coordination that makes them move and fight like one organism. This near-telepathic synchronization lets them anticipate each other's actions and words, finishing sentences and executing complex maneuvers without speaking. Their teamwork perfectly mirrors the seamless interaction of human mouth components—lips, teeth, and tongue—which defines their collective identity.
Physically indistinguishable except for slight vocal variations, all three share black hair and employ a versatile fighting style blending multiple martial arts. Their combat effectiveness is utterly dependent on their hive-mind coordination; individually, they concede to being significantly weaker and less skilled. They acknowledged that former heavyweight boxer Iron Michael could evade their strikes one-on-one, though their combined speed allowed hits to land. Separated, their durability plummets, making them dangerously fragile; Iron Michael's attacks were considered too powerful for any single triplet to withstand.
The Mouth's key role occurred during the Great Prison Battle Saga. Recruited by a prison warden to subdue Iron Michael, they nearly succeeded. Using their seamless teamwork and adapted boxing techniques, they overwhelmed him. Jun Guevaru's arrival interrupted this, however, and he decisively defeated the triplets. During this clash, Teeth sustained severe injuries, triggering an immediate psychological collapse in Tongue and Lips. Panicked, they fled the battle, one urinating in fear. This exposed their critical vulnerability: incapacitating one member shatters their cohesion, causing complete loss of composure and retreat.
No documented backstory expands beyond their involvement in the prison arc. Probable American origin is cited, but no detailed personal history or motivations are provided. Their noted tactical intelligence in combat, utilizing techniques like Stomp, Jab, and Tetrahedron, exists solely within their group dynamic, not as individual skills.
