Ryuko Tatsuma/Relationships

Nejire Hado
Ryukyu is the hero Nejire was working with for her Hero Work-Studies and the two seem to have a fairly close relationship, Nejire is very attached to Ryukyu and follows his orders without hesitation. Ryukyu congratulated her when she saw that Nejire improved the range of her attacks and Nejire ran to hug her during Sir Nighteye's meeting. Ryukyu did not object to Nejire hugging her and even opens her arms to receive the hug.

Ryukyu also seems to value Nejire's opinion, as he was willing to listen to Nejire's offer to recruit Ochaco Uraraka and Tsuyu Asui in his office. Unlike other people, Ryukyu is not bothered by Nejire's childish and noisy personality and treats her like a younger sister.

During the war, when Nejire saw Ryukyu severely hurt she showed immense anger a side she rarely expresses.

Ochaco Uraraka and Tsuyu Asui
Thanks to Nejire's recommendation, Ochaco Uraraka and Tsuyu Asui were hired by Ryukyu for internship and both girls got excited for the opportunity.

Both Ochaco and Tsuyu respects the Pro Hero and are grateful that she accepts them as intern. On the other hand, Ryuko believes that they both have potential and welcomes her agency while saying that the internship will help them develop their fighting skills.

Ryuko trusted Ochaco and Tsuyu to go to Sir Nighteye's meeting and deemed them fit to go on the operation against the Shie Hassaikai and the rescue of Eri. During the Ryukyu mission, Ochaco, Tsuyu and Nejire defeated Rikiya Katsukame and demonstrated good teamwork. Ryukyu entrusted Ochaco and Tsuyu with Sir Nighteye's safety and re-recruits them during the return from internships.
