Hari Kurono

Hari Kurono, also known as Chronostasis (クロノスタシス), is a yakuza and the assistant of Overhaul in Shie Hassaikai. He is the secondary antagonist of the Shie Hassaikai Arc.

Appearance
Hari has thin, dark eyes, pointed eyebrows and pale chin-length hair that forms arrow-shaped “clock needles” as a result of his Quirk.

As with the other members of the Eight Precepts of Death, Hari wears a plague mask, his being black with a gold trim and also including circular glasses over his eyes. He can also be distinguished from them by the long white raincoat he wears, the hood kept permanently up.

Personality
Chronostasis is a cold-hearted individual. He is not fazed when Overhaul kills a fellow subordinate and does not have objections to Eri’s treatment. Being Overhaul's assistant, he is very loyal to his leader.

Shie Hassaikai Arc
Chronostasis participated in Overhaul’s attack on Team Reservoir Dogs. He sat on top of the traffic lights and told Overhaul that since they have the money they should leave before the cops arrive.

Chronostasis showed up when Overhaul went to meet with the League of Villains. He stayed out of sight, and shot Mr. Compress in the arm with the bullet that disables quirks, as he was about to use his Quirk on Overhaul. This allowed Overhaul to destroy Compress’s arm. When Tomura Shigaraki dashed towards Overhaul, Chronostasis tried to hit him, but missed, forcing one of Overhaul’s subordinates to take the hit. Chronostasis leaped from his perch when the rest of the Shie Hassaikai burst in. Overhaul said they were late, and Chronostasis noted that he missed that one shot.

Later, Overhaul hands Eri to Chronostasis after he killed her handler, then ordering him to prepare a bath for her and clean up. When Tomura met with Overhaul, Mimic held his head down while Chronostasis pointed a gun at the back of Tomura’s head when he got too arrogant for their liking. Overhaul ordered them to let Tomura be since he came there to discuss the future.

While the rest of the Shie Hassaikai fight the heroes, Overhaul and Chronostasis attempted to escape with Eri, but they were stopped by Lemillion. Deidoro Sakaki and Shin Nemoto arrive and fight LeMillion, who overpowers then and then kicks Chronostasis while rescuing Eri. Chronostasis gets back up quickly and loads his gun with a quirk destroying bullet. Overhaul realizes Deidoro’s quirk must have weakened LeMillion. Chronostasis fires and misses as LeMillion uses his quirk to materialize in front of Chronostasis. Overhaul saves Chronostasis by creating a platform and launching him away from LeMillion.

Abilities
Stealth: Unlike some of the other members of Shie Hassaikai, Chronostasis was seen jumping down from the ceiling during the scuffle between Overhaul and some members of the League of Villains, implying he had been in the room undetected for some time. This is proven by the fact that he fired two shots, one of which stripped Mr. Compress of his Quirk, where as the other missed its target. However, no one in the League of Villains seemed to notice his presence.

Quirk
Chronostasis (クロノスタシス): Kurono's Quirk allows him to slow down the movements of anything he hits with his clock hand-like hair. However, Kurono cannot extend his hair unless he is not moving.

Equipment and Weapons
Gun: Chronostasis uses a handgun that fires his darts.

Special Darts: Chronostasis has access to bullet darts that carry some kind of substance that deactivates an individual's Quirk. According to Tomura Shigaraki, the dart that hit Mr. Compress caused his Quirk to be unusable for a while. The effects of the dart are not permanent, as Atsuhiro was shown using his Quirk without issue when the League of Villains attacked Overhaul following the events of the raid. The substance in the dart is later revealed to be the blood and cells of Overhaul's "daughter," Eri, whose Quirk is to reverse the time of an individual.

Overhaul
Chronostasis is Overhaul's direct assistant. He is loyal to Overhaul and follows his orders without question. As a leading member of the Eight Expendables, Chronostasis is trusted by Overhaul.

From what is seen of him, Chronostasis appears to be close with Overhaul. He is the first to act when the League of Villains attacks Overhaul and is wary of his boss almost being killed. Overhaul also refers to him as "Chrono".
