If you would just look at my lips you'd be fine!Hiryu Rin to Jurota Shishida in "Make It Happen, Shinso!"
Hiryu Rin (
Appearance[]
Hiryu has lightly tanned skin and black hair reaching roughly down to his shoulders, which he wears in a low braid. His eyes are shaped like a reptile's, and his irises are notably miniature.
His hero costume consists of white knee-high boots with yellow straps on the back and a high collared black bodysuit with thin yellow clouds across the torso and gets progressively baggier as it travels downward. He has a red belt tied around his waist with brown pouches on the side, and wears large yellow gauntlets with black sleeves with thin yellow clouds underneath and a visor on his head. His outfit appears similar to a Jiangshi, and his visor seems identical to the talismans commonly seen pasted on their forehead.
Personality[]
Hiryu is willing to work with others, as shown during the obstacle course when he suggested that everyone use their Quirks together to clear the way through the fallen 0-point robots. Notably, Hiryu has a severe demeanor when putting his abilities into action. He is rather diligent in terms of academic abilities and Quirk functions as well.[4]
Abilities[]
Overall Abilities: Hiryu has shown to be a very competent combatant with a great handle on the applications of his Quirk. Thanks to the versatile nature of his Scales Quirk, Hiryu excels in both close and long-range combat, effectively switching between hand-to-hand combat and shooting off his scales when it’s most convenient to him. If a target is not close enough for him to engage in close-quarters combat, Hiryu can fire off scales to hit his desired target.
During the Joint Training Battle, Hiryu demonstrated terrific accuracy when it comes to the projectile application of his Quirk as he was able to hit one of Denki Kaminari's small pointers that were attached to Jurota Shishida without injuring the latter, and from a reasonable distance. Hiryu also possesses sharp reflexes, evidenced when he detected a camouflaged Tsuyu Asui and quickly enveloped himself in scales to defend against her incoming attack. Unfortunately, due to the Rainy Season Hero's incredible leg strength, coupled with the insufficient durability of his scale armor, Hiryu was sent flying into the distance, crashing into Jurota (who was being subdued by Hitoshi Shinso), resulting in Hiryu's team losing the match.
Tactical Intellect: Hiryu has shown to have a strategic mind. After Shoto Todoroki turned various Villain Bots into the wreckage that blocked the path of various U.A. Sports Festival participants, Hiryu quickly suggested that different contenders use their Quirks to clear away so they could get through the obstacle course portion of the Sports Festival. In round one of the Joint Training Battle, Hiryu deduced the opposing team was tracking his team but didn't realize it was due to one of Denki's pointers until he saw one attached to Jurota.

Ultimate Moves[]
- Sprouting Scales (
芽 鱗 Garin?): Through his Scale Gauntlets, Hiryu discharges volleys of scales at a target. This move was first used against one of Denki Kaminari's stray pointers, which was attached to Jurota during the Joint Training Arc.[5] - Reverse Scales (逆鱗 Gekirin?): Hiryu makes his scales protrude outward instead of inward, so that their sharp ends may face the enemy as spikes for offense.[4]
- Within One: Scale Carapace (
腹 中 鱗 甲 Fukuchū Rinkō?): Hiryu activates Scales through his entire skin, essentially creating a full-body armor.[4]

Equipment[]
