When he began his hero training under Fat Gum's tutelage, Red Riot faced a villain who could sprout metal blades from his body. Initially, he was surprised when the villain used the drug Trigger to enhance his Quirk, but after pushing his Stamina to the limit, the red-haired hero managed to overcome the villain's increased power and defeat him. [19]

In the middle of the Shie Hassaikai Raid, Red Riot and Fat Gum faced off against Kendo Rappa and Hekiji Tengai of the Eight Bullets, but received a heavy blow from Kendo, rendering him incapacitated for most of the match. [20] Eventually, Red Riot regained his composure, effectively withstood Kendo's flurry of blows, and had the courage to directly attack the former cage fighter with a strike that could have neutralized Kendo's, but Hekiji intervened with a barrier. [21]

During the first round of the Joint Training Battle, Eijiro and Koji Koda launched a combined attack against Jurota Shishida of Class 1-B, forcing the latter to dodge the attack, implying that their combined charge would have been effective against someone of his caliber. Jurota himself admitted that Eijiro was the only person in their battle who could pose a threat to his abilities, so he moved the burly student aside to be captured by Ibara Shiozaki. [22]

Enhanced Durability: Eijiro possesses above-average durability even without his Quirk. According to Katsuki, although Eijiro withstood a barrage of explosions at point-blank range during their fight at the UA Sports Festival, this wasn't solely due to his armored skin. This demonstrates that Eijiro's natural durability is relatively strong, but it can be amplified by his Hardening Quirk. [18]

Eijiro Kirishima is a man even to the enemy
Eijiro's chivalry is recognized by Kendo.
Indomitable Will: A prominent aspect of Eijiro is his unwavering chivalry.

General Abilities: Eijiro has proven to be a formidable fighter. His skills earned him second place in the U.A. Entrance Exam, with a fair balance between villain and rescue points,[10] and eighth place in the Quirk Apprehension Test.[11] Thanks to his Quirk, Eijiro's direct and reckless fighting style allows his hardened body to absorb blows from opponents while launching counterattacks. Even bullets cannot pierce his skin when his Quirk is active,[12] meaning Eijiro can become a shield for defenseless allies or civilians.[13]

During the USJ incident, he and Katsuki attempted to confront Kurogiri before being teleported away,[14] leaving the pair to fight and soon defeat low-level members of the League of Villains.[15] Eijiro has proven to be as formidable as Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu, and due to their similar Quirks and fighting styles, the two were evenly matched during their battle at the UA Sports Festival, which resulted in a draw.[16] The two headstrong students remained neck and neck during their arm-wrestling tiebreaker until Tetsutetsu's Steel Quirk began to weaken due to insufficient iron intake.[17] Later, Eijiro impressively forced Katsuki, one of the strongest students in Class 1-A, onto the defensive for a time during their match before Eijiro's Quirk began to weaken, causing him to lose the battle. [ 18 ]

Eijiro decided to reinvent himself after being accepted into UA High School, adopting a tough, confident, and passionate personality that he considers ideal for the hero he wants to be: Red Riot. While Eijiro isn't as impulsive or competitive as Katsuki Bakugo, he doesn't hesitate to compare himself to him, and Izuku states that they have managed to develop a relationship of equality. As a result, Eijiro is undoubtedly one of the few people Katsuki deeply admires.
He has an insecurity: He fears he is not enough, not chivalrous.

Personality
Eijiro Kirishima is a coward
Before reinventing himself, Eijiro lacked courage and spirit.
Eijiro is a boisterous and extroverted guy with a predilection for masculinity, and he often uses the terms "manly" and "unmanly" to describe things and people he likes or dislikes, respectively. Those who demonstrate a noble, courageous, or determined attitude tend to move him to tears, quickly earning his complete admiration, respect, and friendship. Likewise, he will criticize the opposite traits, such as cowardice and dirty play. Eijiro is determined and altruistic, and he bravely puts the safety of others before his own. He is also a big fan of Crimson Riot, a retro hero from whom he draws inspiration, both for his personal values ​​and his hero name. [4]

Eijiro is very honest and kind, with a straightforward way of thinking and a code of chivalry that motivates him to live without regrets. Thanks to his respectful and encouraging attitude, he easily befriends almost everyone he meets, especially those who demonstrate as much passion and determination as he does. Loyal and devoted to his friends, Eijiro is willing to break laws and rules to help or save them, feeling remorseful if he cannot come to their aid. He possesses a strong sense of responsibility, sometimes being very hard on himself for any adverse outcome that befalls him or his friends.

Therefore, he is always thinking about improving his skills and strengths so as not to feel weak or a burden to others, which allowed him to overcome his initial impulsiveness in battle and his poor academic performance; as a result of his effort, he has become smarter and wiser over time.

Eijiro's Tears
Eijiro expressing his appreciation for masculinity.
Eijiro has stated on more than one occasion that he does not have a very favorable opinion of his own Hardening Quirk, as he believes it lacks spectacularity.

Eight years after the end of the Final War, Eijiro has grown taller and more muscular, his hair has become spikier and slightly longer, reaching his shoulders, though he still retains the two pointed strands that stick out like horns. His outfit also remains identical, except for a longer, bright red cape with white fur lining at the hem over a dark red half-cape with a slashed hem underneath, his two dark red, gear-shaped shoulder pads now appear more rugged with two longer points on each side, the toothed sash has been removed, his wire-wrapped guard mask has white teeth in its design, and a sharper black belt, which still retains the lighter red "R" in the center.

He was a student in Class 1-A at UA High School training to become a professional hero.

Eight years after the Final War, Eijiro has graduated from UA, becoming a Hero alongside his classmates, formerly Fat Gum's partner, and now the current number 12 Pro Hero. [ 2 ] [ 5 ]

Appearance
Eijiro is a muscular young man of average height with a rather impressive physique for his age. He has slightly slanted red eyes, a small scar just above his right eye, thin eyebrows, and sharp teeth. His hair is somewhat long, dyed a bright red, and styled outwards with gel in all directions, with two more pronounced strands on either side of his forehead that resemble small horns. This striking hairstyle takes three minutes to create.

During his time at Mustafa Private High School, his hair was black and worn naturally: it reached just below his shoulders with short bangs between his eyes. He changed it to his current style shortly after being admitted to UA High School. His school uniform consisted of a short-sleeved, button-down white shirt tucked into his trousers, black pants, and brown dress shoes.

At UA, he wears the standard UA uniform, but with dark red athletic shoes instead of the usual brown dress shoes.

Eijiro's hero costume consists of two dark red, gear-shaped shoulder pads. A toothed sash of the same color connects the left shoulder pad to the right side of his red belt, which has a lighter red "R" in the center, representing his hero name: Red Riot. Underneath, he wears baggy black pants and a red half-cape with a tattered hem. He also wears dark red boots and thick rings around his calves. His chest is bare, and he wears a guard mask with wire around his face, extending from just above it.
