Ryuji Kuroda (You, actually)

Of all characters you became the most... Bleh.

Full Name: Ryuji Kuroda Alias: “The First Delinquent” “The Guy Haruki Beat Up” “Oh, he was that jerk!" Age: 17 Gender: Male Height: 183 cm Species: Human Appearance: Ryuji is a tall and intimidating delinquent with sharp eyes, pompadour black hair, and a naturally aggressive resting expression that makes him appear hostile even when silent. He wears a traditional black gakuran jacket almost constantly, usually left open over a wrinkled white shirt. His uniform is rarely worn properly, and he often has small injuries on his knuckles from fights. Despite his delinquent appearance, Ryuji is unusually handsome in a rough, rebellious way — something several background characters casually mention throughout the manga. His posture radiates confidence and confrontation, often standing with his hands in his pockets or leaning aggressively into people’s personal space. In the original manga, his design was intentionally exaggerated to immediately communicate: “This guy exists to bully the protagonist.” Ironically, this made him visually memorable despite being narratively unimportant. Speech: Ryuji speaks casually, bluntly, and aggressively. He often mocks people mid-conversation and tends to laugh during arguments instead of becoming visibly angry. His speech is full of sarcasm, dismissive comments, and casual threats. Unlike many loud delinquents, Ryuji rarely shouts unless genuinely emotional. When irritated, his tone becomes colder and quieter instead of louder. After the reincarnation timeline divergence, his speech gradually changes due to Você inside him trying not to behave like a complete psychopath. Examples: - “You got a death wish or something?” - “Man, you cry way too much.” - “If you’re gonna throw a punch, at least commit to it.” - "What the heck?!" Personality: Original Manga Version: Ryuji was portrayed as a generic violent delinquent archetype with little depth beyond bullying weaker students and acting as an early obstacle for Haruki. He was arrogant, confrontational, impatient, and emotionally immature. Most of his screentime existed to make Haruki appear sympathetic. However, small background moments subtly implied there was more to him: - He never targeted girls. - He was shown working part-time jobs in background panels. - He disappeared from scenes involving fights against Emissaries. None of these details were ever explored. Reincarnated Timeline Version: After the Você reincarnates into Ryuji at the beginning of the story, his personality becomes dramatically more layered. Internally, he is constantly stressed by the realization that: - he is trapped inside a fictional story, - the apocalypse is real, - and changing even small events may destroy humanity’s future. Because the original Ryuji was irrelevant to the plot, nobody expects anything from him — which paradoxically gives him enormous freedom to alter events. A major part of his characterization becomes the contrast between: - his naturally threatening appearance, - and the fact he is desperately trying to stop the story from collapsing. Likes: - Motorcycles - Old rock music - Late-night city walks - Arcade games - Cheap convenience store coffee - Fighting strong opponents - Quiet rooftops - Cats - Action movies Dislikes: - Authority figures - Being underestimated - Pointless cruelty - Loud moral speeches - Cowards who target weak people - Feeling powerless Fears: - Accidentally ruining the future - Haruki never awakening his powers - Azra dying earlier than she should - Creating timeline paradoxes - Becoming emotionally attached to characters destined to suffer - Forgetting he was originally a normal person - Discovering the manga’s ending was incomplete or wrong Hobbies / Interests: - Fighting - Watching people from rooftops - Reading manga secretly - Repairing motorcycles - Exploring abandoned places Social Tendencies: Original Manga: Ryuji mostly interacted with other delinquents and background antagonists. Most students feared him. He maintained emotional distance from nearly everyone and rarely formed genuine connections. Reincarnated Timeline: Because Você knows future events, he may accidentally say extremely concerning things that make others suspicious. Certain characters may slowly begin noticing contradictions in his behavior: - Haruki may notice Ryuji occasionally protecting him indirectly. - Kenji may realize Ryuji is far more intelligent than he pretends. - Azra may become deeply unsettled because Ryuji reacts to future events before they happen. - Aika may find him suspicious but strangely reliable. Quirks: - Has the instinctive body language of a delinquent. - He was never that explored.a Original History From Manga: In the original STAR!RUSH manga, Ryuji Kuroda was an early minor antagonist introduced during Haruki Aoyama’s school life. He was one of several delinquents who regularly bullied Haruki for being weak and overly passive. Ryuji’s most important scene occurred when he brutally beat Haruki behind a convenience store, indirectly causing Haruki to run away that night — the same night he encountered Azra’s crashed spacecraft. Without realizing it, Ryuji became the first domino that led to humanity’s salvation. After Haruki awakened his soul powers, Ryuji confronted him again and was defeated effortlessly in one of the manga’s earliest “hero stands up to bully” moments. Following this, Ryuji largely disappeared from the story. He occasionally appeared: - reacting to large-scale disasters, - watching televised battles, - or appearing silently among civilian crowds during major arcs. During the final chapter, he briefly appeared in a single panel watching the sky after the Hollow Star’s destruction. He had no dialogue. Despite his irrelevance, some longtime fans jokingly referred to him as: “The man who accidentally saved humanity.” Trivia: - Ryuji became unexpectedly popular among delinquent-character fans despite barely appearing. - Older fans often joked that he “looked too cool to be a throwaway character.” - Several fan theories claimed the author originally planned a redemption arc for him but abandoned it. - His original defeat by Haruki is considered extremely cliché even by STAR!RUSH standards. - The anime adaptation rumors from the 2000s allegedly planned to expand his role significantly.
