Story (in the Fatal Fury Series)[edit | edit source]
Franco Bash is a kickboxer, who began fighting to distract himself from his wife's death. He traveled to Southtown in order to hone his skills as a fighter. He rose in popularity while avoiding the city's corruption, although his presence was beginning to be noticed by Southtown's crime syndicates. Franco was approached by Ryuji Yamazaki after a fight and asked to defeat Jin Chonrei and Jin Chonshu, who both sought to achieve immortality. He quickly refused, and Yamazaki disappeared as quickly as he appeared, but not before telling Franco that he would gain many strong enemies if he didn't concede.
Afterwards Franco became worried and his fighting ability became impaired. He returned home one day to find his son kidnapped and a note signed by Yamazaki. An inflamed Bash promised to bring his son's captors to justice, and with the help of the Lonely Wolves Andy and Terry Bogard, rescued his son, even though Yamazaki had escaped.
He was astounded by all of the fighting styles he witnessed and now travels the world with his son in search of strong opponents.
Franco's story continues in his Real Bout profile.
