Puri-Puri Prisoner
Occupation: Superhero
Level: S-Class; Rank 17
Puri-Puri Prisoner is best known for being an openly gay S-Class hero with a pretty unconventional approach to crime-fighting. He has a reputation for taking a very personal interest in attractive male heroes and villains alike—so much so that he's landed in legal trouble for sexual assault. The criminals he apprehends tend to end up joining what he calls his "harem," which tells you most of what you need to know about his priorities.
He's notorious for being scatterbrained in ways that actually affect his fights. Most memorably, he once bulked up so dramatically that he ripped his own sweater but somehow managed to blame the Deep Sea King for it instead of, you know, his own lack of foresight. Fans often note that his absent-minded nature makes him an oddly endearing character despite everything else.
The name "Puri-Puri" comes from a Japanese onomatopoeia describing that satisfying snap and bounce you get from biting into something juicy—like a fresh shrimp or a plump hot dog. It evokes the springiness of collagen, which is why the term's also used to describe youthful, firm skin (sometimes specifically referencing young girls' cheeks in that context).
