Unlike Goku who can become a Super Saiyan and keeps increasing his strength during the battle, Metal Bat is the polar opposite. His increased strength doesn’t last long, once he uses all his strength, Metal Bat will immediately fall unconscious.

4. Tends to Beat Enemies First

Similar to Saitama, sometimes Metal Bat unconsciously beats his opponents even though he doesn't want to injure them. Sometimes, he has to interrogate his opponents for information. Probably due to his nature like a high school delinquent, he often does that.

This occurred to Senior Centipede and Rafflesidon, also at the end of the first season when he destroyed Melzagard’s marbles.

Outside his appearance that is far from a smart-looking guy, Metal Bat is a smart fighter. He can find a way to deal with Rafflesidon’s sleeping gas, then find Elder Centipede’s weakness in one glance, and he can provoke Garou to turn his body for him to attack.

Metal Bat probably looks like a fighter who will destroy everything with all his might. It turns out that it’s a part of his strategy. The longer he lasts in battle, the more his fighting ability increases and it can bring him victory.
