Borracho (ボラチョ, Boracho) is a character in the Aozora's Adventure series.

Powers and Abilities[edit | edit source]

Borracho is a short-to medium-ranged fighter that uses a combination of his wits, fit physique, and modifications to his body to overcome his opponents. His go-to boxing style for fighting and sparing is southpaw and his footwork is an unorthodox custom style designed to adapt to his body modifications, including denser skin. Each of Borracho’s limbs are tempered steel springs tightly coiled and fully under his control, all of which he can compress and extended at will. Normally compacted and sealed tight to resemble real muscular limbs and (slightly) hide the creases in each coil, Borracho can unravel the coils to reveal their true forms at will. These spring-limbs give him the ability to reach blinding speeds with his movements and extend his spring-like appendages to strike at longer ranges.

By flexing and compressing a limb tightly, a process dubbed the “Retención de compresión” (Compression Hold), Borracho can build pressure into a limb and bulk it up, increasing its mass and the distance the limb can extend out when released. For instance, applying the Compression Hold on the arms will let Borracho throw a punch that extends out much further than the natural range of his spring coils, using wind assistance to amplify the speed and strength of the punch. Applying the Compression Hold into both legs and extending them out simultaneously will execute a powerful jump, or a strong horizontal launch if performed from a wall. At full strength, Borracho can combo several Compression Holds into each other to maneuver around a room or a big open space at breakneck speed, at the cost of straining and tiring out the springs and forcing him to rely on sluggish movement and weaker attacks while his body recovers.

Borracho’s signature ability is the “Gancho de alta tensión” (High-Tension Hook), a combination technique utilizing the Compression Hold on all of the springs on his body to a perfect balance to unleash a clobbering fist at breakneck speed.
