Command your muscles, for the perfect technique! And strike! With all your heart!
Hime is a participant of Crab 3, as a member of Brat Pack. She is a spaceship worker with way above average strength and a simple mind.
Appearance
Personality
Hime prefers to act instead of thinking. She relegates her decisions to those she trusts and would rather always go with the flow - this shows a lot of personal insecurity in regards of what she does. It’s been stated it was the result of some trauma due to being pushed into a well as a child.
Hime is one of the most good-natured Crabs, having a competitive spirit and being generally nice to everyone. She doesn’t come with any strong ambitions and seems mostly in for the sport. However, she does grow angry and frustrated at herself after being tricked during Round 1.
She is fiercely protective of her teammates.
Powers and Abilities
Hime is one of the most accomplished fighters of her team, having plenty of fighting experience. She has an abnormal strength that at her peak allows her to even bend steel with her punches (although it does not protect her from bone-fracture as she does). In R3, her peak form slightly increases her abilities, showing she came to CRAB already very close to her peak. She shows enormous willpower, being able to stand up even after being knocked into the ground by a powerful punch by Sanctus.
She might have SOME knowledge of technology given that she arrived to the setting with some machine components.
Her greatest technique is the Hime Punch, a perfect punch delivered with all her heart - with enough force to bend steel, it managed in her reality to knock out the superior foe.
Background
History
Round 1
Mister Overkill (won, entry) vs Hime Mashima (lost, entry) in Sabotage Supply Lines. Match page: C3 R1 - Mr Overkill vs Hime
In Centuria, Hime was made a defender of the Empire, while Overkill joined the Horde. Overkill provided the horde with upgraded Senjata weaponry, making a great shift in the battle.
In Hime’s reality, she got lost trying to find the imperial barracks and wandered for days in the forest, using her trusted doll Peluchin as a guide. She came across a caravan where Overkill was transporting weapons for the Horde, and hungry, stole some food from him. Recognizing Hime, Overkill attacked, but accidentally caused the horse carriage to run. Overkill fired a guided arrow to grab the horse, but fearing for the animal Hime held onto the arrow and was pulled above the carriage. Overkill stole a horse from Teresa and gave her chase alongside other Horde members like Florida Man and Sae. Hime deflected arrows shot by Overkill, but got marked by one of his homing targets, and Florida Man and Sae jumped into the carriage to fight her. Fed up with it, Hime shouted at them to stop ganging up on her and threw both of them onto the carriage, then knocked out Overkill by throwing her chestplate at his face.
In Overkill’s canon reality, Overkill planned along with horde orcs how to sabotage Empire supplies from a place less guarded due to Tikas diverting much of the Empire’s forces with his army. Overkill ordered six scouts to accompany him, while thinking to himself how enjoyable the whole situation was for him, being able to give weapons and kill civilians without oversight. Approaching Sanguine, he received a ritual soul that would teleport him back to base, with Sanguine cheekily observing Overkill was not planning to bring back the orcs he would bring to the assault. Approaching by helicopter to the depot, Overkill instructed the orcs to approach the perimeter and kill the guards while he planted explosives. He also gave the orcs explosive C4 telling them to activate to have his “god” come to their aid. Beginning the assault and slaughtering guards, the gods soon found themselves trampled by a bored Hime who had been assigned to guard the supplies. Finally encountering Overkill, Hime challenged him to a fight, but he responded by detonating the orcs and exploding her. However, Hime managed to survive -perhaps with Z’s help- and wounded Overkill with a punch. Noticing she quickly retracted her arm when he grabbed it, Overkill pretended to be a martial arts master to trick her, Hime fully believing it, and used the opportunity to use Sanguine’s ritual soul to return to base, letting the supply deposit explode.
After Round 1, Hime invited a depressed Kome to go clubbing. For once the girl accepted, and after they returned to the base they had an incident on which Kome accidentally teleported them into Tredecima’s room. Brat Pack ultimately, despite the poor showing, celebrated together in the base what little they had to celebrate.
Round 2
Cyrus Rivers (lost, entry) vs Hime Mashima (won, entry) in Karate. Match page: C3 R2 - Cyrus vs Hime
In Japan, both took the kemono potion, with Hime turning into a badger girl and Cyrus into a further monkey.
In Cyrus’s reality, he was quickly overwhelmed by Hime despite Lenard’s advice, which caused Cyrus to hit rage-breaking point and go into his spiritual form - ejecting the girl out of her body. Hime however remained still stuck as a soul - so Cyrus distracted her telling Lenard was doing something to her doll Peluchin and then ripped off her heart. Fainting after using his powers for so long, Lenard called Dr. Stitch to heal him.
In Hime’s canon reality, they faced each other in a karate-eating competition, with Badger!Hime being overly violent and territorial for the food and easily gaining advantage. Threatened by the Gamemaster to give a good show, Cyrus used his power to eject Hime’s soul - however, despite her hearing a voice calling from the other side, the other members of Brat Pack appeared in the spiritual world, having been transported there after Tripp coincidentally laced their teas. With Brat Pack pulling Hime away from the land of the dead, she kept facing the Rider in a semi-unconscious state, until she overpowered her team and was stopped by the voice behind the door - her beloved mentor Igrevni long passed away. Igrevni scolded Hime for taking out her frustration on her previous defeat on Cyrus, telling her to be kind to the boy and that he would watch over her - awakening then from death, Hime offered her opponent some of the food that was left.
After Wietse left, Hime spent a few days on Nuremberg after sharing some compromising news involving the Gamemaster possibly sleeping with Janitor. She was ultimately pardoned for her crimes after Kome and other characters interceded in her regard. With Wietse gone, Hime followed Kome as the temporary leader of the team.
Round 3
Hime Mashima (lost) vs Sanctus Diamond (won). Match page: C3 R3 - Hime vs Sanctus
In Hime’s reality, Hime conversed with Kome about her upcoming match with Sanctus, feeling conflicted about even hurting the muscle-woman. Kome suggested Hime use a weapon like many Crabs, but Hime refused the idea, and told Kome that she greatly admired her opponent and her body, which she checked out one time she massaged it… although it had a great weakness, in the calves. Kome asked Hime to use that to her advantage, but the girl felt conflicted and said she hadn’t thought about it. When the match began, Sanctus declared she wished to make the battle fair and dropped her armor. Hime responded in gratitude by declaring she would not attack Sanctus’s calves, much to Sanctus’s confusion and Kome’s embarrassment. The battle began with Hime unleashing a flurry of attacks, before being promptly knocked in one BAP OFF punch by the Servant. Barely coherent, Hime managed to stand up and seeing Sanctus approaching, focused herself on her master teachings to dominate her body, delivering a punch with all her soul and a perfect knock-out.
In Sanctus’s canon reality, the woman faced an overly excited Hime, making Sanctus cringe. Sanctus took off the armor in order to make the battle fair, and the fighting ensued - with Hime first punching the woman on the stomach hard enough to make her throw up, then them trading blows, Sanctus even grabbing Hime to avoid her falling off the arena in order to not sour her victory. Dodging Sanctus blasts and even a full on Diamond Cannon, Hime approached her opponent, but ultimately in the final punch exchange Sanctus triumphed, caving Hime’s eye out with her fist. Although defeated, Hime expressed her content for having fought such a strong opponent and having fun, and Sanctus commended Hime for fighting well.
Extra Matches
Z (lost, entry) vs Hime Mashima (won, entry). Match page: C3 EX - Z vs Hime
In Z’s reality, an exhausted Z and Hime traded blows in a purely physical battle, having spent all power and resources on previous tournaments. Although Hime used her mastered Hime punch, Z counter-attacked with their own Z kick and managed to defeat the girl by punching her down when Hime countered it.
In Hime’s canon reality, she was surprised to find out she had to fight Z, who proposed a simple fist fight. After delivering a series of combos to Hime, she claimed she would return the hits tenfold, concluded such tenfold was 327 hits (it wasn’t) and proceeded to catch and slam Z on the ground that many times while Kome, Celia and Dizzy cheered, finally putting them down.
After Crab 3
After Brat Pack won, Hime became the Goddess of Strength, donning a new look and an eyepatch given to her by Sanctus. She beat up Florida Man for raping Tripp. She created a copy of Overcroc and ate him, but ultimately decided to leave him alone in Berbie’s Multiversal Marble on Kome/Z’s request. She is seen in Kome’s epilogue hanging out with Sanctus and making a mess with her powers, then happily celebrating alongside the rest of her team after the anniversary of their victory.
Relationships
Life Within CRAB
She is very close (don’t heed the rumors!) with Kome and are usually seen hanging together (they were nicknamed MeMe Sisters). They share a bedroom with bunk beds. She might be the main reason Kome ultimately did not turn evil.
Had a one night stand with a younger Davok.
Was attacked by Sae but defeated her.
At some point she finally got Awesoman laid.
