Trash Basher is a walking trash can-like Monster appearing in the 81st episode of the Kirby: Right Back at Ya! anime, A Trashy Tale.
Physical Appearance
Trash Basher is a trash can with greenish gray arms and legs. He wears rusty dark pink gloves and brown boots with lighter brown shoelaces, in which his gloves go up to the knuckles of his hands. Within his trash can body is disgusting garbage that he spews out to attack, along with acid-like liquid that he can spit, too. On his lid is a face with sunken-in red eyes. His lid can be opened up as a makeshift mouth for him to spew his garbage and liquid from.
Personality
Trash Basher likes to puke garbage everywhere he goes, despite not having unlimited supplies of it to spew. In the Japanese version, he speaks using the phrase "ゴミンナサ～イ" (Gomin Nasai), which comes from the words Gomi (meaning trash) and Gomen nasai (meaning I'm sorry or excuse me).
History
Inspired by the fact that King Dedede uploaded so much trash to the fortress's command center, the N.M.E. Sales Guy sends Trash Basher to the castle, where he then starts puking trash all over King Dedede's castle and then Cappy Town. Kirby refuses to suck up any of his garbage when Dedede sics him on the monster, but a broom thrown by Meta Knight allows Kirby to transform into Clean Kirby and easily overpower Trash Basher. Getting the monster to run out of garbage to spew, Kirby then hits him with a dust-bombing attack before finishing him off with one swipe of his broom, destroying him.
Powers and Abilities
Trash Basher's primary ability is spewing out heaps of trash bags from his mouth, in ether breath-like or a burst of trash. He can also drip them in front of people as a way of grossing them out, as shown when he battled Kirby. He can also spew out a dark gray-es green colored acid-like liquid. Despite his appearance Trash Basher is surprisingly a capable fight, but unfortunately, Trash Basher has one major weakness, and that comes from his limited supplies of trash. If he runs out, Trash Basher is left completely helpless and defenseless as he has no other means of attacks.
