Keel Buster Keel
Funky

Name: Keel
Origin: Buster Keel
Gender: Male
Classification: Dragon Ape (S-class monster), Member of the Buster Keel Team
Age: 16, 21 by the end of the series
Powers and Abilities: Super strength, speed, durability, endurance, agility, high heat resistance (touched lava with his Dragonape arm for an extended period of time, and only had moderate burns afterward), expert Musouryuu user (a fighting style that involves using high amounts of physical strength to perform superhuman techniques), transformation (can access parts of his true body to increase his physical capacity with Lavi's help, currently able to release two of his arms, and his tail), pseudo-flight (can use his Dragonape arm's "Burst" ability to propel himself into the air), can flex his energy to scare away weaker enemies (like Toriko's Intimidation Aura)
Weaknesses: Hot headed, his true power is sealed away by a necklace which he can't take off, he can only fight at his peak ability if Lavi is there to play a seal breaking song
Destructive Capacity: Large building level+ possibly low city block level (capable of dispatching huge monsters, and send people flying large distances with punches, also temporarily stopped a volcano from erupting by pushing against it) | City block level | Multi city block level+ (stalemated an attack that blew away the western section of a large stadium, also beat a Giant Form T-Ross in after a long fight, who tanked a kiloton level laser) | At least town level+ (smashed a large portion of a mountain, became much stronger when he coated his body in flames)
Range: Average human melee range normally, further with his Dragon Ape arm and tail
Speed: Faster than the eye+ | Supersonic attack speed with his tail (capable of moving much faster than his brother, who could create afterimages, also moved faster than T-Ross, a Shikyou, could track on a few occasions, though this doesn't apply to his regular combat speed, as his tail is stated to move faster than the rest of his body), probably supersonic+ with Burst Speed | Likely hypersonic (Keel fought evenly with a transformed Dakki, who deflected machine gun fire) | Hypersonic+ (flew several kilometers in an instant to repeatedly punch Shiva while he was in freefall)
Durability: Large building level | City block level+ (withstood a punch from base T-Ross which wrecked the environment they were fighting in, was also in a fine fighting condition after taking T-Ross' most powerful attack, though it was partially dampened by Blue's barrier) | Multi city block level+ | At least town level+ (tanked a beam which totally destroyed a small mountain and cratered the ground, said beam also wiped out a large town, this was calculated at 450 kilotons)
Lifting Strength: Class M (capable of throwing huge monsters several dozen meters with one arm while in base, can further amp his strength by releasing his Dragon Ape arms)
Striking Strength: Class TJ+ (can punch through steel, rock, and send large monsters flying with casual punches)
Stamina: Fairly large (T-Ross noted that how when Keel was just 6 years old, he defeated his entire family, 100 members in all, Keel is also capable of fighting drawn out battles with injuries, and still get off his big attacks, shown in his fight with the Ayakashi boss, Kurokiri)
Standard Equipment: Nothing notable
Intelligence: Fairly low, but he is a skilled combatant, he's had experience fighting armed opponents, many different types of monsters with exotic abilities, and master martial artists, and manages to come out on top more often than not
Notable Attacks/Techniques:

- Infinity Burst: A super powerful punch that can send people flying dozens of meters.

- Gahou: A technique where the user attacks with their fingers similar to a claw. The power of the technique is able to cause opponents to bound away from its strength and is also known for piercing through steel with its force.

- Double Gahou: A two armed Gahou attack.

- Leg Gahou: A Gahou attack using the legs

- Gatling Gahou: A barrage of Gahou attacks that Keel used to blow up a Super Robot in the Adventurer's Circus.

- Dragon Ape Transformations: Through partially releasing the limiter on his body, Keel can turn his right arm into it's original form, the Dragon Ape's Arm. By doing so, Keel gains increased strength and speed (through "Bursting" energy from the scales on his arm, Keel can move at high speed), as well as access to new techniques. The arm is also extremely large and tough, and as such can be used as a shield in combat. Releasing an additional arm, a tail, and his legs is also possible.

- Engine: Keel releases compressed air from a gland in his Dragon Ape body parts to increase his speed and impact strength. This also gives Keel access to multiple techniques.

  • Burst Bullet: Keel opens up the engine in his right arm, and delivers a super powerful punch, capable of dispatching large monsters.
  • Burst Fang (Burst Musoryuu Gahou): An attack where Keel's Dragon Ape Arm turns into an energy claw and strikes at the enemy. Much stronger than the Gahou Keel uses in his base form.
  • Burst Machinegun: A series of super fast punches akin to Luffy's Gatling Gun and Toriko's Kugi Punch, performed by controlling the recoil and the steam explosions generated in his arm to launch consecutive punches at high speed. Excessive use of this move renders his arm useless for a long period of time afterward, it can nearly tear it off if overused.
  • Burst Speed: Keel flies through the air using built up steam and smoke from his Dragon Ape arm, at speeds that even T Ross had trouble keeping track of. Keel can use his tail to alter the trajectory of his flight.
  • Burst Thunder Storm: A flurry of hypersonic punches capable of knocking out S Class monsters, used once Keel has two Dragon Ape Arms.
  • Double Burst Gahou: Gahou with double the power of a Burst Gahou. Used once Keel has two Dragon Ape Arms.
  • Burst Heavy Bullet: A Burst Bullet with far more destructive power than a standard one. Used in Keel's true form.
  • Burst Hurricane: Keel punches his target over and over again while chasing after them once they're sent flying. The attack is so fast that it appears that the target isn't getting a chance to move at all once they're sent flying. Used in Keel's true form
  • Burst Meteor: Air pressure is built in everyone of Keel's body parts, and is released all at once, creating an extremely fast and powerful full body attack, used in Keel's true form
