Mini-Bucketmen A

Mini-Bucketman A is greedy, predatory and willing to kill children for valuables. He and his partner exploit their small bodies to pass among Treegun's students without immediately revealing that they are adult criminals.

Recognizing Sanko changes their priorities. The value promised by his bones offers a prize far greater than the treasures they originally entered the school to steal.

Mini-Bucketman A can exhale extremely potent poison, an adaptation associated with the polluted environment of the Mini-Bucketlings' homeworld. The toxin is powerful enough to incapacitate Sanko.

The Mini-Bucketmen also carry firearms and use their small size and childlike silhouettes to disguise themselves among actual students.

Their abilities make them effective against ordinary victims, but they have little defense against the supernatural power of Shimada.

Mini-Bucketman A and Mini-Bucketman B infiltrate Treegun Elementary School to steal treasure from its wealthy children. Their victims accumulate in a sealed section of the school, attracting Shimada through the Flesh of Death released by the corpses.

Sanko and Avakian enter the restricted area and initially confront Shimada before learning that the apparent children nearby are the actual killers.

The Mini-Bucketmen poison Sanko and attack Avakian after recognizing Sanko's identity. During the ensuing fight, Sanko kills one with his Flesh of Darkness axe, while Shimada kills the other before consuming the resulting Flesh of Death.

Mini-Bucketman B is Mini-Bucketman A's partner in the thefts and killings at Treegun Elementary School.

Zaha Sanko becomes a target after the pair recognize the value supposedly attached to his bones.

Avakian tries to protect Sanko and is attacked by the Mini-Bucketmen.

Shimada Death follows the deaths caused by the pair to Treegun and kills one of them during the confrontation.
