Eijiro Kirishima, also known as the Red Riot, is a simple guy, just like his quirk. Or this is what it looks like at first glance. In fact, their hardening ability hides some surprises and secrets. Let’s find out everything about the young aspiring hero of My hero academia.
Kirishima’s peculiarity is mostly defensivebut it also allows him to go on the offensive. The angularity of its rock-hard skin can actually cut through normal human skin. Thus, his fists can inflict two types of damage: club force and cutting force. The latter effect is greatly enhanced in its unbreakable form where its fingers become claw-like.
Kirishima is not yet able to do this retain their maximum hardness for indefinite periods of time. Indeed, a lot of energy and endurance is required for this state. However, there are clever ways the potential hero can build their toughness. For example, by knowing the direction of the enemy attack, Kirishima can choose which areas of the body to harden to protect itself. In addition, activating the quirk could improve its mobility and reduce the feeling of fatigue only in the upper part of the body.
By hardening, Kirishima withstand all types of physical trauma and this will be demonstrated during the race at the UA Sport Festival, an event where he offers to perform as a horse in Bakugo. In fact, on that occasion, Red Riot was not affected by his partner’s explosions and burns. However, this does not mean that Kirishima will not be harmed. After the boy has reached a certain pain threshold, he touches a break point where he loses the activation of his quirk.
The hardening of Kirishima only affects the outer layer of the body such as the skin, but also this it can be torn or destroyed. During the fight with Rappa for the Hassaikai, the boy’s skin breaks into a thousand pieces, revealing the inner muscles.
However, once Kirishima is healed, it hardens comes back stronger than before. With every hit, Red Riot’s Quirk increases durability, endurance and strength. Like any good hero, the student shows that it is not how often you fall, but how often you rise from adversity that matters. Did you already know everything about him? We admire this Christmas cosplay from My Hero Academia. Bakugo or Gran Torino? Here is the winner of this hypothetical clash in My Hero Academia.
