Summary
Black Sperm (黒い精子 Kuroi Seishi) is a monster who first appeared during the S-Class Heroes' raid of the Monster Association.
Despite his dull appearance and small stature, he is one of the Association's most powerful members and is easily a high-end Dragon level threat capable of defeating even S-Class Heroes. He first appears when Tareo is separated from Garou, chasing after and tormenting the child. Atomic Samurai steps in but is soon overwhelmed due to Black Sperm's ability to split into numerous versions of himself, as well as reform whenever one of his selves is killed.

Attack Potency: Varies (The power of a Black Sperm body depends on its cell count) from Below Average Human level (A single Black Sperm cell is so weak that even a puppy could defeat it[11]) to at least Mountain level (Ripped Genos' arm off[8] Was called very powerful by Atomic Samurai and could deal significant damage to him[1][Statistics Values 1]) | Country level (Far stronger than before. Knocked out Superalloy Darkshine and sent him flying away with a single punch[12]. Stomped Vomited Fuhrer Ugly. Should be somewhat relative to Homeless Emperor due to not being considered as a weakling, unlike Vomited Fuhrer Ugly[12]. Psykos claimed that he and Homeless Emperor could defeat anybody, which should include the likes of Gouketsu[13][Note 2][Statistics Values 2]) | At least Country level (Stronger than his Golden Sperm form, as he contains trillions of more cells inside his body. Said by Homeless Emperor to wield unimaginable power, and his passive Ki was called immense by Atomic Samurai, making him show concern and possibly fear[14]. Fought with Flashy Flash and Post-Darkshine Garou[9]. Later fought Garou on his own for a while before being overpowered[10])
Speed: Unknown, possibly High Hypersonic (Psykos believed that Black Sperm could fight with Tatsumaki alongside Homeless Emperor[13] right after witnessing her defeat Gyoro Gyoro) | At least Massively Hypersonic+ (Faster than before. Intercepted an attack from Atomic Samurai with the Sun Blade. Casually blitzed Darkshine and Vomited Fuhrer Ugly[Statistics Values 3]) | FTL (Surpassed Flashy Flash's speed. Created a massive constellation with his sheer speed in 1.3 milliseconds alongside Garou[Statistics Values 4])
Lifting Strength: Varies, up to Class T (Easily restrained Sweet Mask. Able to rip Genos' arm off, which Gums couldn't do despite biting him for an extended period of time[Statistics Values 5]) | At least Class T (Much stronger than Superalloy Darkshine, even calling him far too weak) | At least Class T (Significantly stronger than before)
Striking Strength: Varies from Below Average Human level (Comparable to its attack potency) to at least Mountain level (Ripped Genos' arm off[8]) | Country level (Comparable to his attack potency. One-shot Superalloy Darkshine[12]) | At least Country level (Comparable to Post-Darkshine Garou[9])
Durability: Unknown | Country level (Withstood numerous cuts from Atomic Samurai's Sun Blade, but was also shown to be directly cut and lose his arm to the Sun Blade[15]) | At least Country level (More durable than its Golden Sperm form. Took hits from Post-Darkshine Garou and survived his Killing God Fist of Monster Destruction[9])
Stamina: Superhuman (Never seemed to tire during his battle against the S-Class Heroes despite taking an enormous amount of damage continuously)
Range: Varies from Below Standard Melee Range up to Several Meters with Size Manipulation and Elasticity. Tens of Kilometers with Sperm Tsunami (Implied to be able to flatten Z-City overtime if he decided to split to his limit and crush everything on his path) | Extended Melee Range by sheer size | Extended Melee Range by sheer size, Several Meters with Elastic Tentacle (Able to extend the tentacle on his head to strike opponents or restraint them)
Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: Above Average (While he initially appears rather single-minded and straightforward, he is incredibly sharp in combat and was one of the few monsters in the Association to use tactics and outmaneuver his foes)
Weaknesses: If his cell stock gets low, he'll become weaker and eventually be unable to regenerate or make copies. Beating his bodies to death instead of slicing them will slow down his duplication. Complete body destruction will effectively kill a Black Sperm body and stop his duplication. If he fuses his cell stock permanently in a new body, he no longer can regenerate or duplicate with that body.

Notes/Explanations
- ↑ Black Sperm's duplication and shapeshifting also works as a sort of pseudo-regeneration allowing him to recover from even being sliced into tiny bits as long as he still has sufficient cells in stock
- ↑ While Psykos' statement mentioned Black Sperm by name instead of Golden Sperm, it is more likely that she was referring to him as an entity rather than the Black "form"
