Summary Panty Hose Taro plots his revenge
In someways he had mixed feelings about his father. From his birth father he gained smashing good looks. From Happosai's giving his first bathe in Niuho-manmaorenni-chuan, he became a powerful creature not the odd amalgam of creatures who drowned in that pool. It was what happened next bothered him
His mother deferred to the pervert due to the custom that the person giving a baby its first bath was allowed to name it. The pervert of course chose Panty Hose Taro thinking that he had given a fine name to the boy. And so he was twice cursed. First by Jusenkyo, then Happosai.
Unlike the rest of those cursed by Jusenkyo his curse allowed him to be more powerful than most people. But he needed that power to deflect the laughter which ensued whenever he told people his name. No one could keep a straight face when they heard it.
As a result he was required to fight battle after battle simply to stifle the abuse he received from cruel people who could only snicker at his name. No matter how powerful he was and how many people he defeated, no one could respect a boy named Panty Hose Taro.
He searched Happosai to force him to change his name, but much to his chagrin he discovered that as powerful as he was, Happosai was more so. Worse yet, even if he had defeated him,. Happosai actually liked the name. He viewed the name itself as the source of his power.
And so he was forced to slink back to China to try to obtain more power. Only if he had enough power could he stand up to the man who had named Panty Hose Taro and ruined his life.
