Quotes

When met on the way to Stark Mountain: Yo! If it isn't <player>! Don't tell me you're going to Stark Mountain, too? You're pretty wimpy... You're sure you're going to be OK? Heh, why am I asking you that? It's not like I care. Anyways, if we see each other on Stark Mountain, the race is on to see who gets the Magma Stone first!

Names

His name could be derived from the Japanese word for explosion (爆破 bakuha) which possibly refers to his training place, a blazing volcano.
