Fogland is a trio

Prisoner #182's attitude toward Hiren in the manhwa "Fogland" can be described as hostile and wary. #182 perceives Hiren as a representative of authority—he sees him as a guard or overseer who keeps them both imprisoned, and is initially prepared to fight him.

At the same time, there are important nuances in their interaction that demonstrate the ambiguity of position No. 182:
Hiren's restraint. Despite his hostility, Hiren doesn't kill #182, even when he has the opportunity. This contrasts with his general reputation for ruthlessness toward prisoners.
Interest. Hiren is clearly intrigued by #182's anomalous regenerative abilities, which go far beyond the ordinary. This leads him to finally decide to treat him—an act that is unusual for him, as he has refused to help prisoners for years.
and now Daria is in a constant state of quarrels and squabbles

Irritation and conflicts
#182 often makes no secret of his dissatisfaction with his teacher. He's irritated by Dante's loud voice, his breathing, and the decisions he makes that he considers "stupid." When agitated, #182 can even resort to physical force—hitting or slapping Dante.

A prime example is the scene where Dante gets his jumpsuit dirty. #182 was angry because the uniform was special to him: it was the first new outfit he'd had since losing his arm.

Another telling moment: when Dante tried to eat a sweet potato (No. 182 took it as a personal insult and even woke up in the middle of the night to save the plant).

Mutual trust and assistance
Despite the constant clashes, a trust develops between the characters. No. 182 is inclined to believe everything Dante says. Moreover, he repeatedly warns the teacher of the dangers of the Land of Mists and the impossibility of escaping the prison. At a critical moment, during the prison riot, No. 182, despite his strength, has no intention of harming Dante and may even attempt to save him.

Why is this important?
Their relationship demonstrates that even in the most difficult circumstances, people (or non-human beings like #182) can find common ground and support each other. #182, with his complex past and trauma, learns to trust and see others not as enemies, but perhaps even as friends.

Throughout the series, 182 demonstrates a variety of abilities, including:

Enhanced upper and lower body strength: able to pierce the Tower's neck with a single punch.[13]
the ability to bite through a gargoyle's teeth [14]
Pain tolerance: the ability to put fingers back into place after a fracture [15]
Fast healing: bones heal on their own in seconds [16]
Enhanced Speed: Ability to climb walls[17]
Enhanced Agility: Dodge most of the Fluffysaurus' hair.[18]
Enhanced Hearing: The ability to locate Dante from a great distance by the sound of his glasses.[19]

182 was born in Fogland and raised by the administration, exposed to the mists even before birth. Due to this, he possesses far more advanced abilities than those exposed to the substance later. Children conceived, born, and raised in Fogland are known as mist-born children.[3]

182's childhood was spent in a cold, empty environment. One memory, which today remains inextricably linked to his love of sweet potatoes, shows 182 in a dark, empty room, sitting next to his companion, Sky Seer. The only source of light was a television in the center of the room. The girl told him about different animals. Those cuter than crows, she said. The celestial seer, with tears in her eyes, declared that as soon as she left this place, she would have a puppy.[4] Although this was not destined to happen. After Dante's brief lesson on sweet potatoes,[5] 182 mistook the plant for an animal and began handling it with extreme caution, remembering his friend's wishes.

Another memory, more frightening than the first, and the one that left 182 with a permanent hatred of water, shows a multitude of children huddled on the shower floor, under a hail of cold spray. Through all this abuse, the figure of the seer emerged, who, like the others, including 182 himself, was frightened and huddled. Despite this, he comforted her as best he could, holding her hand.[7] These times reveal the invisible hardships he undoubtedly faced as a child, and give an idea of ​​the conditions in which these children, born in the fog, grew up. In captivity, trapped, like animals.

Main character traits
He's reserved and reticent. He rarely engages in conversation unless necessary, which is likely due to a traumatic experience and a reclusive upbringing.
Irritability. He's easily irritated—for example, Dante's teacher's loud voice and breathing, as well as his sometimes ill-considered decisions, clearly irritate 182. At such moments, he can become aggressive, kicking or slapping Dante.
Ambivalence in his relationship with Dante. Despite frequent conflicts, 182 saved his teacher's life several times, suggesting he has glimmers of empathy. However, his motives are often ambiguous: for example, he could be acting out of an interest in learning sweet potato recipes, rather than simply a desire to help.
Affection. Memories of 182 comforting his companion, the Celestial Seer, by holding her hand, suggest a capacity for empathy and affection.
Durability and Strength. Physical injuries (missing right arm just above the elbow, scar on left side) and early exposure to fog have given him incredible stamina, speed, agility, and pain resistance.
Specific phobias and habits. He has developed a strong hatred of water, which stems from a traumatic experience. He also exhibits excessive caution and even a strange attachment to sweet potatoes, mistaking them for living creatures. He even called their roots a penis.

182 is a young man in his early 20s. He has pale, sickly skin, cracked lips, several missing front teeth, a blue tongue, and bright blue eyes surrounded by deep shadows. These are all traits typical of someone addicted to the Mist. He has unnaturally white hair that sticks out in all directions, and numerous freckles on his cheeks. 182 is extremely thin, with a body fat percentage of less than 5%.[8] He is missing his right arm just above the elbow, and has a scar on the left side of his body that runs from his shoulder to his pectoral muscle.
He wears an orange prison uniform, the right sleeve tied in a knot beneath his severed limb, and a black paper bag over his head. 182 removes the bag only when asked, and when eating, he lifts the paper above his eyes, revealing the spiky ends of his hair peeking out from the large holes in the bag. Before receiving a new uniform, 182 wore an old one for an indefinite period of time. The first uniform was torn and stained beyond repair. Apparently, it was the same one he was wearing when he lost his arm—the right sleeve was completely torn off. Dante couldn't fix it even after thoroughly washing it. Despite this, 182 refuses to throw away the useless piece of fabric, as it's one of the few items he owns. He claims the uniform had his number on it, making it as his as the sweet potato. Finally, 182 is wearing high-quality black combat boots, which do not fit well with his supposed status as a prisoner.[9

Dante Kahn. Their relationship starts off tense: Hiren initially distrusts Dante. But Dante's persistence and ability to appeal to humanity gradually pierce Hiren's defenses. Dante plays a key role: he reminds Hiren of his former self and convinces him to heal others again and return to the outside world. Over time, respect develops between them, and they begin to collaborate.

182. Hiren's relationship with this character is primarily hostile. He views him as a prisoner and engages in combat without hesitation, easily gaining the upper hand. However, even when given the opportunity to kill #182, Hiren refrains from doing so and even decides to heal him—the first time in years that he's helped someone he considers a prisoner.
     but often quarrel because of attempts to be above the other

Hiren is a young man with black hair. He is most often seen wearing a medical uniform over a doctor's coat, reflecting his profession. His body is covered with numerous stitched scars, which are his most distinctive physical feature.

In short, the author's crash 😍

Hiren's greatest strength is his incredible focus. When completely focused, he can analyze a situation with pinpoint accuracy. Combined with his medical training, this allows him to perform complex surgeries, identify structural flaws in the human body, and pinpoint critical areas for defeat in combat.

Hiren fights using surgical instruments, primarily scissors. His approach relies on precision rather than brute force: he incapacitates opponents by targeting vital points. He has demonstrated the ability to easily defeat multiple enemies, including powerful ones, suggesting that his overall combat skills are superior to those of ordinary prisoners.
However, he suffers from chronic dry eyes caused by overexertion of his faculties.
Four years before the start of the main story, Hiren was assigned to a medical post near Dumpling Village in the Land of Fog. Despite his stern appearance, he performed his duties conscientiously and made no distinctions between those he treated. During this time, he became close to the villagers. One day, he helped save the life of a gravely injured man. However, this man later attacked the medical team and killed the other doctors, claiming he shouldn't have been allowed to live. After this incident, Hiren was left alone in the hospital. To survive, he fed on fog, which gradually took a toll on his mental state. Over time, he became distant from others and stopped treating prisoners altogether, spending years in isolation and defending the hospital from attacks.

Detachment and emotional isolation. At first glance, Hiren appears cold and straightforward. But this is largely a defensive reaction: after his colleagues were killed by a patient he was treating, he remained alone in the hospital and spent years protecting it from attacks.
Compassion. Despite his harshness, Hiren retained a strong sense of compassion—especially when it came to those who truly needed help. Before the tragic events, he treated his patients impartially and developed a genuine affection for them.
Restraint in violence. Although he has developed a reputation for being merciless toward prisoners over time, his actions speak otherwise: he doesn't resort to killing unless absolutely necessary. A prime example: in a confrontation with #182, Hiren easily overpowers him, but doesn't kill him even when given the opportunity. Furthermore, he decides to treat this "prisoner"—the first time in many years that he's helped someone in this category.
Perseverance and resilience. A key character trait is his reaction to Dante Kahn. At first, Hiren distrusted his teacher, but the latter's persistence and ability to appeal to humanity gradually melted the ice. Dante helped Hiren remember his former self and convinced him to open up to people again and return to interacting with the outside world. Over time, respect developed between them, and they began to collaborate.
Deep Focus. One of Hiren's strengths is his ability to completely concentrate on a task. This allowed him to easily defeat multiple enemies, including very strong ones, and underlines his combat effectiveness, which significantly exceeds that of ordinary prisoners.

Wing kidnaps Dante and asks him to help him figure out how to grow sweet potatoes. Initially hostile, Dante eventually comes to trust Wing, especially after he saves him from one of the Hollows, the massive gargoyles that guard the prison (episode #14). Their bond, though strained at times, grows stronger, and Dante repays Wing by taking him to the hospital (where they meet Hiren) to have his arm reset (episode #20). In subsequent episodes, Wing opens up to Dante, revealing more about his past, including his friend and his time spent at the facility, where he was raised by the administration.

A little about the character
Dante is a 32-year-old science teacher. He was initially assigned to Fogland, an international prison where a mysterious "Fog" emerged after a catastrophe. This fog grants prisoners superhuman strength, but at the cost of their intelligence, will, and humanity. Dante was supposed to teach the prisoners, but during a riot, he himself became trapped. Now he must endure numerous trials to escape and ultimately assume the role of Leader.

Character evolution: Before his imprisonment, Dante dressed neatly (he wore a gray suit and tie when entering Fogland). After his capture, he is forced to wear the standard prison uniform. Later, the Driller Crew refashions it after Dante creates fog from thin air (episode #11). And when the hero finds the supply box, his outfit changes again: he receives a white hooded jacket (with the word "FOKE" written on it) and gray pants.

Initially, Dante may seem slightly arrogant and socially ignorant. He often speaks bluntly, without considering how others will perceive his words. While he tries to appear logical and rational, he is actually quite emotional and expressive.
fogland.fandom.com
As the story progresses, he changes noticeably: he becomes more cautious, thoughtful and tactful.
fogland.fandom.com
Other features include:
Insight. Dante possesses the ability to deeply understand other people—their thoughts, motives, and internal conflicts.
Pedagogical approach. His experience as a schoolteacher greatly influences his attitude toward others. He tends to see people as potential for growth and self-improvement, not just as threats. This is evident, for example, in his attitude toward Wing (Mr. 182), whom he initially perceives not as an enemy, but as someone he can help.
A profound lack of self-confidence. It's rooted in his upbringing. In a family where his father was a professor and his mother a doctor of law, Dante was constantly looked down upon for his lack of academic achievement. This gave rise to a strong inferiority complex, especially toward his older brother.
Selective prosopagnosia. This disorder makes it difficult for Dante to recognize faces, and this is especially evident in his brother—he literally cannot recognize him, imagining "the moon with a terrible face" instead.
Dante meets Hiren in Dumpling Village when he comes to repair 182's arms. Hiren is initially hostile and even kicks 182 out when he realizes he's a prisoner, but Dante learns more about him and the traumatic events that occurred in the hospital. Letting go of the guilt that has plagued his life, Hiren agrees to accompany Dante and 182 and helps the villagers fight the Bone Eater as they attempt to escape the Mist Land.
There is humor in becoming friends
