Manga

Kodansha published the manga's 24 tankōbon volumes to December 1987.[4] The manga was re-released into 12 kanzenban volumes between March 1991 and August 1991.[5][6] The manga's license was transferred to Ichijinsha.

Game

[edit]

The player controls a baseball superhero named Batsu (Bats) who must use baseballs to defeat his opponents. Being hit once reverts him to "normal" Terii (Terry), who swats at his opponents using a baseball bat. Opponents include machinery, humanoids, and animals. Killing opponents while in Terii form results in a larger energy bar.
