Revision as of 08:38, 15 October 2014

Professor Nakayama is the primary antagonist of Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt. He is a small, wiry man with a multitude of Eridium fragments protruding from his skin, and has enhanced himself further by grafting on a robotic weapon appendage protruding from his back and over his right shoulder.

Background

Nakayama is a scientist who has become distraught after the death of his idol, Handsome Jack. Through further misfortune, a Hyperion transport ship that he was on crashed on the primitive continent of Aegrus, leaving Nakayama to fend for himself in hostile territory. To that end he resumed the kind of experimentation that he had done for Hyperion, grotesquely modifying both himself and some of the local fauna. Very soon he seized on a plan to clone his idol, Handsome Jack.

His involvement with Handsome Jack began when the Vault Hunter rescues Nakayama from his Lost Legion captors aboard Helios in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.

Involvement

Nakayama is captured by Lost Legion aboard Helios and later rescued by the Vault Hunter.

Nakayama is soon alerted to the presence of the Vault Hunters and message threats about how he will mete out his revenge for their killing of Handsome Jack. Rather than face them however, he sets a few obstacles in their path, but becomes increasingly agitated and fearful as these are swept away. Only at the very end does he fully reveal himself, but before he can do anything more he suffers an ignominious fate when he trips on some stairs and falls to his death.

Appearances

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel

Notes

  • Nakayama is profoundly incompetent, and not only places precious DNA samples in easy to reach safes, also has a habit of unintentionally revealing his plans in advance to the Vault Hunters.
  • When Nakayama loses his balance, the game will proceed to show his boss health bar at the top of the screen and give control back to the players. Players however, need not do anything as Nakayama will tumble down the ramp and lose a portion of his life each time he impacts on the ramp. He loses the rest of his health this way until he reaches the bottom of the ramp.

Trivia

  • Nakayama mentions that he poisoned the CEO of the Atlas corporation during his first encounter with the Vault Hunters, because neither they, nor Sir Hammerlock, knew who he was.
