Haba

Haba is a fairly short, muscular man somewhere in middle to older age. Wide eyebrows, cropped sideburns, and a heavy mustache sit on his face beneath dark hair. His cursed technique has fused the crown of his head to a rotor fitted with four propeller blades that spin to lift him into flight. A headband crosses his forehead, and he wears a light sleeveless zip-up vest bearing a shark design on the front collar, paired with dark pants and plain shoes.

Aggressive and full of himself, Haba most likely played a cruel part in coercing Rin Amai into serving Hanyu against his will. When Yuji brought Hanyu down, Haba flew into a fury and attacked at once, as any partner might. Even after losing once to Hiromi Higuruma, he badly underrated Yuji, arrogantly throwing away his aerial edge to fight up close. After Yuji wrecked his propellers, leaving Haba dazed from a head injury, he stubbornly insisted that Yuji had really lost because he had hurt his own hand.

Haba was marked by Kenjaku, which granted him the ability to develop an innate cursed technique for the Culling Game. He grew into a sorcerer roughly on par with his partner, though neither's exact point total is known. He does try to read his opponent's movements, but his planning is too shallow to make real use of his technique. Overconfident in his propeller's ability to slice through steel, he should have exploited the high ground against grounded foes, yet he kept closing in to attack at point-blank range. That habit doomed him against Yuji, who drew him indoors and went for his head as a weak point. While he could menace defenseless people like Rin, he was decisively beaten by fighters around grade 1 strength such as Higuruma and Yuji.

His innate technique, an unnamed power often called Helicopter Hair, reshapes his hair into a four-bladed propeller. Activating it lets him fly and hover in midair, and he can alter the length and angle of the blades as well as crank up their spin speed and durability. As with Hanyu, his cursed energy appears to be concentrated mainly in his hair.
