- —Blanka
Jimmy, also known as Blanka, is a protagonist from the Street Fighter series. He appeared in the 24th episode of Death Battle, Pikachu VS Blanka, where he fought against Pikachu from the Pokémon series.
History
As a child, Jimmy was a pale-skinned boy from Brazil, until a horrific plane crash left him the sole survivor stranded in the Amazon rainforest. With all the predators living in the area and with no way of escaping, he was forced to camouflage himself day and night and after many years of this, his body absorbed so much chlorophyll that his skin turned into a permanent green hue. Before being able to fight the predators himself, Jimmy had to live off of electric eels as his primary food source, which inadvertently gave him the power to generate electricity. In time, Jimmy found his way back to civilization by pure accident, but had long since become a beast of a man and was called "Blanka" by the locals. Thankfully, by entering the second World Fighter Tournament, he found his way back to his mother and hometown. While Blanka didn't win the tournament, he was chosen by hundreds to represent Brazil in future tournaments, even making new friends along the way. And as long as his mama is proud of him, he is happy with himself.
