Pyunma, aka 008, is one of the nine protagonists that appear in the 1966 Cyborg 009 animated film and its sequel Cyborg 009 Monster Wars.
Appearance[]
008 is a slim African man of average height. He has dark brown skin and a black buzz-cut, with some of his facial features being exaggerated and in a visibly "blackface" style (extra-bulbous nose, huge pink lips).
He wears the pastel lavender version of the 00 cyborg uniform that is seen on all other team members but 003 and 009.
Personality[]
008 is a quiet, serious young man but enthused to get the chance to use his abilities, such as when he assists 009 and 007 in traveling underwater to find a Black Ghost submarine to take control of.
As with many of the other cyborgs, he does not get much individual characterization or spotlight in both films, with only some scenes giving his ability attention.
Abilities[]
The enhancements to his lungs enable 008 to breathe underwater. He can also spew water from his mouth at enemies, as seen when he fights the Black Ghost soldiers in the second film.
History[]
Notes[]
- The identification of his home country comes from the 1977 Roman Album that profiled both '60s films and the 1968 TV series. Otherwise, it is left unstated.
