What the bullish marubozu is

A full green body with no wicks. Buyers owned the whole candle.

Imagine a runner who sprints from the start line to the finish line without slowing down once. A bullish marubozu is a big green candle like that: price opened at the bottom and closed at the very top. Buyers were in charge from start to end.
