He can only keep its "Red Riot Unbreakable" form for periods of thirty to forty seconds, and its use tire him considerably.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Hardening: Eijiro's Quirk allows him to harden and sharpen any or all parts of his body, causing his flesh to become jagged and rock-like.
Super Moves:
- Red Counter: While hardened, Eijiro endures a close-range attack with his skin and then counters with a straight punch.
- Red Riot Unbreakable: Eijiro reaches his maximum hardening level by turning his entire body extremely hard and rugged, giving him a monstrous appearance, and allowing him practical invulnerability to most forms of physical attacks (This form can only be maintained for around thirty to forty seconds).
- Red Gauntlet: Eijiro rushes towards the enemy and delivers a single strong punch to the gut against them (This technique deals massive damage if Eijiro is in his "Red Riot Unbreakable" form).
