Small Beetle (小甲虫, Kokabutomushi*) was an insect-like Chimera Ant Soldier.[1]
Appearance[]
Small Beetle's appearance
He had green hair, and a large set of mandibles resembling a stag beetle's.[1]
Personality[]
He took great pride in his abilities and could be conceited.[1] However, when his life was in danger, he became fearful.[2]
Plot[]
Chimera Ant arc[]
During the Phantom Troupe's siege against Zazan's Squad in her palace, the Small Beetle confronts Kalluto. Thinking Kalluto is a little girl, the Small Beetle tries to woo the boy but is rejected. Finding the rejection hilarious, he pulls out a steel rope and intends to kidnap the unamused Kalluto.[1]
Small Beetle puzzled
Kalluto sprinkles confetti onto his paper fan and twice blows a squall of wind with the confetti onto Small Beetle who simply shakes it off. Small Beetle taunts Kalluto both times with his unimpressive attack, but Kalluto points out a piece of confetti is sticking out of one of his upper joints on his left arm. Puzzled by Kalluto's observation, he brushes off the piece of paper and attacks him with his steel rope, which easily gets sliced by Kalluto's paper fan. Baffled how Kalluto managed to make short work of his steel rope. Kalluto informs Small Beetle to not underestimate his paper. He then proceeds to attack Small Beetle with his Dance of the Serpent's Bite Nen ability, tearing off his left arm at the same exact spot, Kalluto pointed out a shred of confetti stuck to the arm. Crying in agony, Kalluto points out another piece of confetti on Small Beetle to his upper joint on his right arm. Small Beetle notices this and begins to sweat, as Kalluto claims his right arm is next.[2]
The aftermath of the fight reveals that Small Beetle torn to shreds by Kalluto's merciless attacks. While leaving the scene, Kalluto thinks that he should fix his "bad habit" of torturing his "prey".[3]
Abilities & Powers[]
As a Chimera Ant, he is already stronger than the average human. His exoskeleton appears to be rather durable, although his exposed joint can be exploited to attack. He has shown some skills at using a steel rope to fight and restrain his opponent.
Nen[]
After being violently "initiated",[4] he learned Nen.[5]
