Teppei

==Summary==
Teppei ( 鉄平 (てっぺい)) is a famous Saiseiya under the tutelage of Yosaku and the grandchild of "Knocking Master" Jirou . He decided to become a Saiseiya after seeing a once beautiful valley that his grandfather used to hunt in turn into a barren wasteland due to over-hunting. Noticing the sad look on his grandfather's face, Teppei decided to become a Saiseiya. Teppei helped Toriko by protecting him against Tommyrod and regrowing his left arm.
After the events in the Four Beasts Arc when he lost in battle against Joie, he was brainwashed to become a ruthless minion of NEO, now becoming a threat to the Heavenly Kings.

* Fertility Seed (肥沃の種 Hiyoku no Tane): Described as a "fertilizer for human use," this seed can increase the body's natural healing ability to its maximum. However, due to it containing also a little amount of toxic substances, it also destroys cells before triggering the speedy recovery, thus possibly being fatal. ====

Intelligence: As the grandson of the legendary Knocking Master, Teppei is a skilled combatant on par with the Four Heavenly Kings, having restrained the likes of Zebra on two separate occasions. He most frequently fights in hand-to-hand combat, using his grandfather's trademark Knocking techniques to incapacitate foes without killing them. He is also a skilled Saiseiya and can quickly grow plants to assist him in combat or heal others. In addition, he is also experienced in the use of Dark Techniques, destroying Komatsu's heart and instantly restoring it in order to ensure that he would be able to handle the power of his Gourmet Demon.
Weaknesses: Using the Fertility Seed destroys cells before the recovery process begins, thus there's a chance that it will kill Teppei rather than heal him
==== Notable Attacks/Techniques: ====
Gourmet Cells: Specialized cells with excellent regenerative and strength-enhancing qualities. When a human successfully adapts Gourmet Cells into their body they gain overwhelming life force and strength, creating a super human. An individual's Gourmet Cells increase in power when they consume delicious foods that suit them and the 'tastes' of their gourmet cells, causing the cells to 'evolve'; this enhances the strength of the user and their abilities. Gourmet cells can also evolve as a response to harsh new environments, instantly creating adaptations which allow the user to survive. Gourmet Cells have very high energy demands, so individuals must consume frequent large amounts of delicious food, lest the cells begin uncontrollably devouring the their body at the cellular level. Due to consuming at least four of the items from Acacia's Full Course, Teppei is able to manifest his Appetite Demon through his limbs to attack his foes.
Knocking: A special, non-lethal method of capturing wild beasts that works by striking specific pressure points on the target's body with just the right amount of speed and power, resulting in almost complete paralysis.
* Impact Knocking (インパクトノッキング, Inpakuto Nokkingu): Teppei is able to perform very precise Knocking using his bare hands. The blows he lands are also very painful, compensating for the lack of true damage to the opponent. His Knocking appears to have various levels of intensity, that are named after the gradations of meat cooking.
** Medium (ミディアム, Midiamu): A powerful blow to the celiac plexus that can paralyze the target completely. However, it was only partially effective against Tommyrod's insect ganglia.
** Well Done (ウェルダン, Uerudan): A more powerful version of the Impact Knocking. Teppei gives multiple strikes to the opponent's motor nerves that paralyze every muscle in their body.
Nail Injection: (ネイル注射, Neiru Chūsha): Teppei elongates his pointer finger nail. This technique was used with a medical purpose, as the nail can be dipped in various substances, therefore effectively acting as a syringe.
Wood Spear (ウッドスピア 'Uddo Supia'): Teppei covers his arm in vines to spear the opponent from a distance.
Acid Tree Sap (酸樹液 'San Jueki'): Teppei releases an acid sap from both arms to free himself from restraints.
Warp Road (ワープロード 'Wāpurōdo'): Teppei creates a path through the Back Channel.
Binding Tree of Thorns (茨 (イバラ) の縛り樹 'Ibara no Shibari Ki'): Teppei binds an opponent with thorned vines
