The {{nihongo|'''Buckle Bruiser'''|バックルブルーザー|Bakkuru Burūzā}} is an armored version of a [[Bruiser]] [[Unversed]]. They possess the ability to deflect enemy attacks, much like the [[Large Body]] or [[Land Armor]]-type [[Heartless]], except they retaliate with a powerful lunge that usually cannot be blocked or dodged.

You'll need to get behind it to hit its weak spot (try magic!) but don't get careless just because it's slow. Buckle rhymes with knuckle, which rhymes with pain, which you'll be seeing a lot if you're not ready to block.

The '''Buckle Bruiser''' is an [[Unversed]] that is found in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''.


==Story==
==Story==
A Buckle Bruiser is first spotted in Terra's story with a group of smaller Unversed attacking a young Hercules but they are defeated at Terra's hand. Another is spotted in Aqua's story just as she enters the Coliseum. Phil at first offers to protect her, but runs away leaving Aqua and Hercules to fight them
===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
When [[Terra]] lands at [[Olympus Coliseum]], he spots a Buckle Bruiser and some smaller Unversed attacking [[Hercules]], and drives them off. When [[Aqua]] arrives later on, a Buckle Bruiser attacks. [[Phil]] offers to protect her, but immediately runs away, leaving Aqua and Hercules to fight the Unversed off by themselves.


==Appearance==
==Design==
A Buckle Bruiser is, put simply, a Bruiser Unversed clad in purple armor with the Unversed Emblem on its chest. Its face is colored white and red, and it wears a helmet giving it the appearance of a gladiator, in fitting with the Olympus Coliseum theme. It wears two shields on its arms and has yellow feet.
A Buckle Bruiser is a large, bottom-heavy creature with predominantly black skin, though it is almost entirely covered in predominantly blue armor. Its feet, which are covered in gold armor, curl up at the toes and its conical arms are protected by circular, blue and gold shields that it can throw. Its head is spherical, light grey, and covered by a blue helmet with a gladiator-esque, light grey crest and two grey spikes on its sides. The armor on the Buckle Bruiser's midsection is black with gold designs decorating it, and somewhat resembles a belt. Its red eyes are set in an angry expression and the Unversed symbol is emblazoned on the center of its belt.


==Attacks==
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix]]'', the Buckle Bruiser receives a palette swap which gives it a red body armor with white highlights. Its two bucklers are now white and gold, and the crest on its helmet is gold as well. Its head is now white, and covered by a red helmet. The midsection armor is gold with black designs decorating it.
Buckle Bruisers use the shields on their arms to deflect frontal attacks as well as offensive purposes. It can throw its shields like boomerangs at opponents. It also attacks by body slamming and punching opponents. It can also retaliate with a lunge.


==Strategy==
==Strategy==
The Buckle Bruiser isn't a difficult enemy if you know where to attack. The tactic to defeat one is similar to beating a Large Body or Fat Bandit heartless: avoid its attacks and attack from behind.
Buckle Bruisers use the shields on their arms to deflect frontal attacks as well as for offensive purposes. The shields deflect nearly all frontal attacks, so that magic is the sole effective method to attack from the front. When using physical attacks or commands, it is simplest to attack either from behind, or after the Buckle Bruiser has lunged and is lying on the ground. When attacking from behind, the Buckle Bruiser may try to counter with Shield Dive, so attack slowly and try to anticipate the attack. If afflicted with status effects that stop its movement, such as Magnet or Stop, it is unable to block attacks from the front.
