Biography

Biscuit Oliva (Japanese: ビスケット・オリバ, Hepburn: Bisuketto Oriba) was born in Cuba and later on migrated to America. He made a living as a prized mercenary for the US government as well as other countries in capturing and exterminating malefactors or threats that were too powerful for them to deal with. He also serves as a specialized jailor in the Arizona State Prison due to the facility containing some of the most dangerous criminals and him being the only person capable of truly keeping them in line. It was unknown what kinds of crime he committed in the past to be considered as a convict. In his later years, he was dispatched by the USA to fight Yuujirou Hanma. After fighting his way through groups of drug cartel mercenaries, he encounters Yuujirou at the leader's mansion and proceeds to kill the cartel's leader, before trying to engage Yuujirou in combat. Oliva rushes at the young fighter with his fist, but Yuujirou avoids the attack. After a while, the Unchained introduces himself to him and it turns out that the young Japanese recognizes who he is and Oliva feels honored. After a short conversation, Yuujirou tells that it is too early to 'eat' Oliva and decides to leave. The Unchained ess disappointed and began to explain that he came all the way to meet him. However, Yuujirou suddenly surprises him with a front kick that knocks him several feet back and allows Yuujirou to make a getaway. As Yuujirou left, Oliva smiled and said that Yuujirou will surely become even stronger.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Biscuit Oliva was an enormous Cuban-born African-American man. He has brown skin, short black hair and a thin black moustache. At first, it was easy to mistake him for a man suffering from obesity, but on closer look it is noticeable that his body is just composed of muscles which are extremely developed. He's also known for almost always having a smile on his face. In his debut, he wore a red shirt and he did not have his mustache yet, and in the third season, he wears a purple one. Usually, however, during fights he only wears a speedo, exposing his entire muscular body. His reputation led to him being known by the name of Mr. Unchained (ミスター・アンチェイン, Misutā Anchein).

He was the strongest man in the America and only man in the Arizona State Prison who has complete freedom as he is considered prison staff. Apparently, at some point the government decided that it was cheaper to pay for his massive meals, living quarter, library, and all the other expensive things he demanded in exchange for him living in the prison, where many prisoners are thanks to Oliva. He's a high-paid mercenary for the US government specializing in apprehending and terminating criminals or threats whose power are beyond the capacity of the conventional law enforcement and military to deal with.

Similar to Yuujirou Hanma, Oliva was extremely arrogant and contemptuous of most of his opponents. While quite knowledgeable in the area of martial arts, he is by no means a genius at it, making him vulnerable to complex techniques and cheat tactics. He shares his profession with Yuujirou as both of them are high-end mercenaries. Most governments, however, stated that Biscuit is far easier to work with than Yuujirou. Despite his arrogance and tendency to do things his own way, he makes a point to be good company to law enforcement who treat him with respect, such as Morio Sonoda, and also respects other martial arts masters who prove they can stand up to him. While sometimes looked at as an arrogant hunk of oversized muscle, he can be a really likable man to hang out and have a drink with. He'll even offer the Police Captain Morio Sonoda a Japanese imported beer during his visit at his luxurious prison domain. A big smile is pretty much his default facial expression, especially during fights. It's rare that anyone manages to wipe it off his mug. Also, Oliva cares deeply about his girlfriend Maria, visiting and dressing nicely for her, despite often times being met with derision from her, and is not distressed in the least about Maria's physical condition and more than happy to carry her.

Powers and abilities

His intelligence was above average. Despite the extreme focus on working his muscle mass, Biscuit Oliva has also increased his cognitive skills by reading and studying in various areas as he owns a massive library in his living quarter. He knows in full detail why nobles stuck their pinky out when drinking tea, as well as being skilled in toxicology. When it comes to combat skills, Oliva should be more knowledgeable than the average man, but he still falls short compared to eastern martial arts masters such as Kaiou Kaku or Doppo Orochi.
