Drastic Thrash

(トラスチック・スラッシュ)

 —Drastic, commanding Professor Scientist Ajitama to be thrown out the window

**Drastic Thrash** is a student at Lifeworld Academy, and a trained Beast Gaucho. He is often seen accompanied by his 'buddy,' Chance, who could probably be better described as his shadow, sticking by his side at all times. He commands the Space Beast, Rhinostamp, in battle, and he claims that it is undefeated. He also summons forth Switchercon by using the upgraded Beast Gaucho Visor.

## Personality

Drastic's disposition is, as his name would suggest, brash, over-the-top, and cocky. In Episode 1, he boldly approaches the then-retired Dash Ajitama to challenge him to a Space Beast battle before even knowing his name, and he more or less bullies him in to accepting the challenge. He then proceeds to trash talk Dash for most of the match.

He comes from a lengthy history of family trauma; his absent father in particular is a sore subject. His mother has dated many decidedly questionable men, including the shady Hurato, and an unnamed ex-boyfriend who once "chained him to a radiator." While it's indicated that the absence of his father has dealt quite a bit of damage, this is further demonstrated in Episode 6 as he mentions feeling empty despite being incredibly powerful and having 'everything.' It's implied that his emptiness is due to the lack of a father figure in his life.

## Interests

He loves playing video games, which he is, of course, the best at. Definitely better than Chance. And DEFINITELY better than Dash Ajitama, probably. He has a weakness for the infamous snack food, Cheesy Quasars. Drastic owns a literal space chain, but doesn't wear it anymore because Chance bought him a Power Glove as a sign of their unending friendship. It's still a topic of discussion though if he thinks he's being lied to.

## Relationships

### Chance

Drastic's relationship with Chance is... interesting, to say the least. The two of them are completely inseparable, and probably a bit codependent. In Episode 1, Drastic tells his cohort that "he doesn't need to ask his permission to use the bathroom," implying that at some point, Chance would do just that. After several attempts at revealing to Drastic the prestigious identity of his opponent (the son of Professor General Ajitama,) Chance complains that "they just don't communicate like they used to."

Chance tends to be rather blunt and unfiltered when it comes to Drastic. Either that, or he's just too dumb to know when to shut his mouth. It's hard to say.

### Hurato

According to Drastic, his mom's boyfriend, Hurato is "*the biggest joke of them all*," and/or "*that rando that's getting it on with my mom*." Hurato attempts to win his affections by presenting him with an upgraded Beast Gaucho Visor, which increases the psychic link between a Gaucho and their Space Beast by over 120%. Drastic is impressed by the technology and its power, and he seems to come to terms with Hurato towards the end of their meeting in Episode 2.

As made canon in Sky Brother Source, Drastic exclusively eats the "Illegally Chunky" flavor of Cheesy Quasars. He makes sure to dispose of the empty packaging in the cupholders and center console of Hurato's car, in hopes that one day the contraband will get him in trouble with the law. "Hah, serves him right... loser."

### Dash Ajitama

 —Drastic to Niko while at the Cheesy Quasars Memorial Space Beast Arena and Genocide Museum

Drastic has shown time after time that he has a borderline obsessive disposition toward Dash, despite claiming not to. One of his main objectives is to show up Dash, and to prove he's better than the youngest Ajitama; he consistently mentions that he is either better than Dash, or is working toward proving that he is. Dash, however, seems to hardly care about Drastic or somehow proving that he's better. The only time Dash mentions Drastic is in mentioning being beaten by him in a Space Beast Battle.

### Niko

In Episode 3, Drastic takes Niko to see a Space Beast fight at the Cheesy Quasars Memorial Space Beast Arena™ and Genocide Museum demonstrating his lack of perception, as Niko had just interrupted a Space Beast battle between him and Dash Ajitama. Not only is she mortified by this fact, but his frequent mentioning of Dash indicates he did not invite her on a date out of genuine interest but rather to get back at Dash. Upset, she ditches Drastic. It's safe to assume that even if Drastic had an inkling of attraction to her, his chances are ruined and any potential relationship was immediately tarnished.

### Hank

After his introduction in Episode 6, Drastic is ecstatic to finally know the identity of his father, Hank. The two begin to form a close bond, Hank commending Drastic for how much he has accomplished, and his strength. Attempting to do the father-son activity of blowing up a (what did they blow up??) backfires, however, as Hank forgets his (anti-explosion suit idk) and thus dies.
