Appearance

Air presents a striking, tribal-inspired look. His dark-skinned, muscular frame goes shirtless above a grass skirt, and his black hair is bound into a pair of ponytails. He accessorizes with earrings and a shell necklace, and paints his face with black boomerang shapes across the forehead and cheeks, along with small black dots above his eyes.

Personality

There is a bold, combative edge to Air. He carries himself with self-assurance and does not hesitate to square off against someone as imposing as Pig God. Eager and openly aggressive, he holds a firm belief in the value of training.

Abilities

Air holds the thirty-fifth rank in the A-Class, and while the source keeps his full capabilities vague, that standing marks him as a capable and dangerous fighter. His strength shows in the force behind his throws, sending his boomerang hard enough to cut down a Tiger-level threat, while his speed and reflexes let him launch the weapon at high velocity and still snatch it back out of the air. That skill is on display when he drops the Tiger-level Black Roast in one throw as Saitama handles a separate monster nearby in Z-City.

His luck runs out against the remains of Evil Natural Water. Chasing the escaped Pig God from a helicopter, he flings his boomerang at the monster, only for it to fire water back through the weapon and pierce his neck. He survives after Pig God consumes the remains, though he later wakes in the hospital to find his voice altered, the doctors having replaced his damaged vocal cords.
