Funny Valentine

Funny Valentine is the 23rd President of the United States, and the main antagonist of Steel Ball Run. He is the true mastermind behind the Steel Ball Run race. He watches the competition from behind the curtains and hopes to gather the Saint's Corpse to use the Holy Relic to further the United States of America's interests and power, and explains that his way to do that is by "taking the first napkin".

Valentine has a lot of importance for patriotism and seems to care about his country. Most of his bad deeds are not selfishly centered, but instead are done in order to achieve what he thinks is power for America, and to follow his goal of making America the most dominant country.
