## History

### Main Story

#### Prior to the events of *Penguinronpa*

Blast was recruited to the Elite Penguin Force and trained by Paige to utilize his abilities with his cannon. He was the second Elite Puffle that Agent met, and helped them solve the mystery of Operation: Robotomy.

#### Chapter 2

While Blast himself is not mentioned by name, the Elite Puffles as a group are first mentioned by Agent in Chapter 2 Daily Life when the agents are talking about the remote-control jet pack in the Puffle Training Room.

#### Chapter 3

In Chapter 3 Daily Life, Agent and Klutzy find several wooden boards in a cave, and Agent suggests bypassing them would be easier if "a certain puffle" was there. This is referencing Blast's ability to destroy wooden objects, as well as the fact that in *Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force*, Blast is used to destroy the exact same wooden boards.

#### Chapter 4

The Elite Puffles are mentioned a few times throughout Chapter 4 Daily Life. They are first mentioned by Gary in one of Agent's nightmares, then by Dot when strategizing how to defeat Jet Bot, and finally by Dot again when talking about the lullaby that Paige used to sing to them.

In Chapter 4 Deadly Life, Blast makes a small cameo in the Operation: Robotomy recap video, where he is seen next to Agent holding the Robotomy Gadget on the Gift Shop Rooftop. Blast then makes his first real appearance shortly afterward in the Chapter 4 Execution to rescue Agent. He fires himself out of a cannon and rams into Monobert's belly, knocking him to the floor. At the end of the execution, Blast appears in a fight cloud with the other Elite Puffles and Monobert, and is later called back to stand with the agents when Dot uses Paige's whistle.

#### **Chapter 5**

Blast appears to be confused along with the other Elite Puffles at the beginning of Chapter 5 Daily Life after rescuing Agent from Monobert. After Agent shuts down Monobert, Blast joins the other penguins and puffles in a big group hug, where he sits on Sam's back. He is then introduced to Sam and Amy as the Ultimate Daredevil by Agent. After the other penguins go to their igloos for the night, Blast sleeps in the Sport Shop with Gary and the other Elite Puffles.

The next day, Blast is walked to the Coffee Shop with the other puffles by Gary, who is exhausted from taking care of the energetic puffles all night. Dot suggests that each of the penguins should choose an Elite Puffle to look after, so that they won't be distracted with playing with each other. Sam is the last penguin to choose a puffle partner, and is left between Blast and Bouncer. He says he doesn't mind either of them, and lets Agent pick a second puffle partner first. They choose Bouncer, so Sam ends up partnering with Blast. From this point on, Blast is mostly seen sitting on Sam's shoulder. Later that day, during Mission 14, when Agent is testing Sam and Amy by having them go through a practice mission, Blast fires himself out of a cannon to crash into crate, revealing a bottle of cream soda. Next, Sam suggests Blast try shattering a block of ice to break it, but Agent says that would probably give him a headache. Sam also asks Blast to fire himself at Dot in a shark costume so she'll let go of Rookie, but he appears to be too afraid of the "shark".

The following morning, Blast goes with Sam to the Coffee Shop for breakfast, where he presumably eats some of the pancakes prepared by Gary along with the others. Next, in Mission 15, he goes to HQ with the group to search through the files on the computer for more information. Agent discovers that Blast's folder is mysteriously locked by a password, along with all of the other Elite Puffles. Then in Mission 16, upon entering the Command Coach simulation, Blast no longer travels with Sam and instead can be called whenever he is needed with the Puffle Whistle. Blast's ability is used to break open another crate in the Sport Shop, this time containing a grappling hook and a life preserver shooter. Blast then reappears at the end of the mission in a group hug between Agent, Sam, Amy, Chill, Bouncer, and Chirp.

The next day, Blast goes back into the Command Coach during Mission 17, and is used to knock Snow Bot off the top of the Ski Hill. Later, when Sam and Amy are battling the Test Bots, Sam calls for Blast with the Puffle Whistle, and he rams into Snow Bot once again. He appears dazed and confused along with the other Elite Puffles after Sam and Amy shut down the Command Coach. Blast then goes to the Pizza Parlor to have dinner with everyone. He is seen on the floor eating pizza with Bouncer, and is later said to have played with Sam, Amy, and the other puffles. After everyone leaves the Pizza Parlor for the night, he sits on Sam's shoulder as he has a private conversation, and presumably is taken with Sam after he runs out of the parlor crying.

The next morning, the agents discover that all of the Elite Puffles are missing. Sam is nowhere to be found either, and in turn, neither is Blast. In their attempt to search for them, Agent, Dot, Rookie, and Jet Pack Guy discover the bodies of Herbert and Gary.

In Chapter 5 Deadly Life, Blast remains missing until the beginning of the trial, where he is seen being held captive by the Ultimate Protobot 10,000- the true body of Monobert- along with the other Elite Puffles. After Protobot rigs the trial to result in Amy being voted as the killer, a wrong verdict is reached, and Blast must be executed along with all of the other innocent puffles and penguins. Blast is chained to the others, and is nearly crushed by a giant tower, but is quickly rescued by Shadow Guy, and Blast escapes back to the Box Dimension. Afterward, Blast is the only Elite Puffle that is seen crying when they all react to Sam's death. Blast is then saved again by the Test Bots from Protobot's lasers, and then is subject to a strange "restoration process" from a holographic video message from Gary.

## Quotes

* *"Blast! Blaaast!"*
* *"Blah..."*
* *"Blah-wah...!"*

## Trivia

* Blast's introduction code translates to "DAREDEVILS ARE SUPPOSED TO BRACE FOR IMPACT".
* When ramming into Monobert's belly during the Chapter 4 Execution, a visual effect is seen that is similar to the knockout effect from *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.*
* Blast apparently likes the idea of being a stunt double at the Stage.
* Counting the times he used his abilities in the Chapter 4 Execution and the Test Bot battle, Blast is currently tied with Pop for using his abilities the most times, at five.
	+ However, if uses in animations are not counted, and only uses where the action graphic appears are counted, Pop outranks him, as she has four uses and Blast has three.
	+ Coincidentally, Blast and Pop are also tied for having the most amount of required uses in *Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force.*
* When prompted to choose between Blast and Bouncer to be his puffle partner, Sam says "Guess I'm left with blue or red. This must be what non-members feel like...", which references the fact that under normal circumstances, players who didn't have a membership on *Club Penguin* could only adopt Blue or Red Puffles.
* In the 2022 Valentine's Day Special, Pop comments that Blast and Bouncer "know how to make a good tutorial." This is a reference to the two of them being the first obtainable Elite Puffles in *Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force*, and their abilities being taught to the player within the first two tutorial missions of the game.
* Blast, along with Flare, are currently the only puffles whose penguin partners have died since they were partnered together.
	+ Additionally, the two are the only puffles to have sprites of themselves crying.
