Biodata

Appearance

A is a burly, thick-armed shinobi whose fighting style emphasizes overwhelming speed, durability, and direct physical force. He can cloak himself in blue Lightning Release Chakra Mode. 163 164

• Possesses a notably muscular build and thick arms. 164 165
• Fights while enveloped in lightning chakra. 163
• Lost his left arm during an earlier battle with Uchiha Mirai. 45 46

Personality

A is hot-blooded, confrontational, and deeply proud of his strength. He immediately attacks Mirai at the Kage summit rather than hear him out, and later seeks revenge despite knowing Mirai's overwhelming power. 163 164

His aggression is tied to his resolve to protect Kumogakure. After his initial defeat, he releases Killer Bee so that their combined strength can oppose Mirai; even after witnessing Killer Bee's severe injuries, A continues fighting. 157 164

Abilities & Skills

Lightning Release Chakra Mode

A uses Lightning Release Chakra Mode to greatly enhance his speed, strength, and durability.

• Can transform into a blue lightning-like blur while charging opponents. 163
• His physical parameters were regarded as among the highest in the Ninja World. 164
• The mode allows him to withstand powerful impacts, though Mirai's attacks still overwhelm him. 45 165

Taijutsu

A specializes in close-range, high-impact attacks, relying on momentum and raw force.

• Lariat — charges at high speed to strike an opponent directly. 165
• Heavy Stone Bullet — an elbow strike delivered with enough force to shatter the ground. 164
• Liger Bomb — a combined attack performed with Killer Bee; its simultaneous impact on Mirai's neck fails to injure him. 165
• Jigokudō Naraku Raikō and Raikyaku Suijō — consecutive close-combat assaults used against Mirai's Susanoo. 164

Third Great Ninja War

A joins Killer Bee in confronting Orochimaru and Manda on the battlefield, transforming the momentum of the clash against Konoha. 44

When he attacks Uchiha Mirai, A is sent flying by a single punch. He then activates Full-Power Lightning Release Chakra Mode, but Mirai evades his assault with the Three Tomoe Sharingan and Limit Reaction Nerves before severing A's left arm. A orders Kumogakure's retreat and escapes with Killer Bee. 45 46

Chunin Exams and Kage Summit

Still bearing resentment over his defeat, A attends the Chunin Exams in Konoha intending to gather intelligence for a future attack on the Leaf Village. 129

At the Kage summit, A attacks Mirai as soon as he appears. Mirai casually kicks him into the ground, then declares his proposal for a unified Ninja World; A and the other leaders reject it, setting the Fourth Great Ninja War in motion. 163

Fall of Kumogakure

A frees Killer Bee and joins him in defending Kumogakure when Mirai arrives alone and gives the village one minute to surrender. 157 164

A and Killer Bee launch their Liger Bomb at full acceleration, but Mirai withstands the blow with his neck. Mirai then kills A with a kick, prompting Killer Bee to transform fully into the Eight-Tails. 165
