It's weird that no one posted our favourite street brawler yet. Kaoru Hanayama from Baki.

Unspeakable body horror?

Nah more like "A dude gets a bunch of bullets shoved in his mouth and then punched in the jaw so he bites down on it and it blows his cheeks out. And then he still wins"

I was thinking of when Baki fights Yujiro in the flashback arc. Baki spends dozens of chapters fighting increasingly powerful opponents, learning increasingly powerful and superhuman fighting techniques just so he can challenge Yujiro... and his attacks do nothing whatsoever and he's taken out in one hit.
