Prates nickname real meaning.

[Katsushyro]

Prates nickname “the nightmare” is not due to the fact that fighting him is a nightmare, it’s actually for a pretty funny reason.

There was a kids show in Brasil some 20 years ago with a caracter named Pesadelo (nightmare in Portuguese), and people made fun of Carlos because he looked like this character.

He does still resemble it a little :
