[edit] History

A combatant in the Earth Rumble competition, "The Boulder" is a powerful Earthbender. Though his "pro wrestling" stage accent may seem unintelligent, he speaks with a degree of consideration and eloquence that suggests a greater intellect beneath his bombast wrestler facade. He appears to be a decent human being at a base level, but is dedicated to winning and competing in the Earth Rumble tournament. He shows this through his initial reservations about attacking Toph, a twelve year old blind girl, when she confronts him during the final round of Earth Rumble VI.

The Boulder is one of the best Earthbending fighters in the Earth Rumble tournament. While his style of fighting is less extravagant than the other fighters, he is still amazing to watch. His straight-forward, powerful Earthbending skills are effective in their simplicity. However, he is still no match for Toph, who easily defeats him in the final round of the competition. The Boulder has a Badgermole tattoo on his back and he always talks about himself in the third person. He frequently employs earth-related puns, for example: "The Boulder is going to win this in a landslide!"

The Boulder later reappears in "The Day of Black Sun, Part 1: The Invasion", alongside the Hippo and many other Earthbenders. He has stated to Toph that he and the Hippo no longer fight for other's entertainment, but for the good of the Earth Kingdom. Although his skills are invaluable during the invasion, ultimately the plan fails and almost all of the warriors are captured by the Fire Nation.

The Boulder was freed from prison after the War ended.

[edit] Trivia

  • According to Toph's ransom letter, his name was written as 大石塊 (dà shí kuāi) which translated as 'big chunk of rock.'
  • The Boulder was inspired by the Pro-wrestler, The Rock.
  • He is voiced by pro-wrestler Mick Foley, a good friend of The Rock.

[edit] Quotes

The Boulder: The Boulder feels conflicted about fighting a young, blind girl.
Toph: Sounds to me like you're scared!
The Boulder: The Boulder's over his conflicted feelings, and now he's ready to bury you in a rock-a-lanche!
Toph: Whenever you're ready, The Pebble

-Toph and The Boulder before their match at Earth Rumble VI.

Toph: You guys here for a rematch?
The Boulder: Negatory. The Boulder and the Hippo, no longer fight for others' entertainment. Now we fight for our Kingdom!
Toph: Sweet!
