Romero Fujimi ( (ふじ) () () 召呂 (めろ) Fujimi Romero?) is a student of Isamu Academy High School.[1]

Appearance[]

Romero has a generally slouched and unkempt appearance. Much of his visual design draws a semblance of the undead variety; desaturated bluish-gray hair which he wears messily spiked over the right of his face, no eyebrows, bug-wide eyes, nose often simplified as two dots, and overly distinctive straight teeth.

He wears the Isamu High uniform, which consists of a white dress shirt with a red tie around his neck, over which is a dark blue blazer and below is a pair of plain gray dress pants and dark brown loafers.

When he’s in his hero costume, his posture seems to straighten. He wears a black, double-breasted coat with a high collar and thick gray cuffs, which extends past his knees, with a system of wires and nozzles attached around his waist, ankles and down his arms. He has a translucent, purple-tinted mask over his mouth to protect himself from his Quirk, and wears gloves and pointed dress shoes, pinstriped pants visible above them.

Personality[]

Romero has a condescending demeanor and shows to look down on Class 1-A, as he tells his Isamu Academy peers not to be friendly with them. This causes him to immediately feud with Katsuki Bakugo, whom he is said to be similar to.

Like Katsuki, Romero shows to be gruff and unkind, while also being arrogant and reckless with his own abilities. This is first shown when he unleashed his Zombie Virus Quirk, despite being in close proximity to his classmates and having no concern that they would be affected. He later bragged that U.A. isn't that great after affecting nearly all of the class with his Zombie Virus, which caused him to drop his guard and fall victim to his own Quirk after being bitten by a zombified Katsuki.

Despite Romero's behavior, his classmate Dadan Tadan claims that he isn't a bad person at heart. Like many of the other students, he also idolizes All Might.

History[]

Romero took an instant dislike of Katsuki from the moment they met. He uses his Quirk to create zombies and gets turned into one.[1]

Abilities[]

Quirk[]

Zombie Virus (ゾンビ ウィルス Zonbi Wirusu?): Romero's Quirk allows him to release a pink gas from his body. Anyone who breathes it in will take on the appearance and mental capacity of a zombie, with the victims gaining zombie-like strength and endurance while also using their Quirks at random. The zombies still retain fractions of their personalities, such as Katsuki's aggression or Koji Koda's quietness, and they are able to pass on the virus through biting, which can instantly turns others into zombies as well.

Much like the villain Mustard, Romero is not immune to the transformative power of his gas and has to wear a breathing mask as protection from being affected by his own Quirk. He is also still vulnerable to zombification should any of his victims bite him.[1]

Equipment[]

Gas Mask: Romero wears a mask over the lower half of his face to protect himself from his own zombification gas.

Trivia[]

  • Romero's name is composed of "wisteria" ( fuji?), "looking" ( mi?), "dew" ( ro?), "summon" ( me?), and "spine" ( ro?).
    • An alternate reading of his name combines the Japanese word for "immortality" (不死身 Fujimi?) and a reference to George Romero (the famous filmmaker responsible for the Night of the Living Dead series), both of which are references to his Quirk.
  • Romero's Japanese voice actor, Ryōhei Kimura, also voices young David Shield.
