Daigoro Banjo, also known as Lariat,[1] was a former Pro Hero and the fifth user of the One For All Quirk.
Appearance#
Daigoro was a large muscular man of a wide build. He had a square jaw, small dull blue eyes and lacked eyebrows. He was also bald and had a very short beard.
His hero costume consisted of dark leather clothes, golden stylish goggles, and a bandolier. The leather jacket had yellow shoulder pads, and as Daigoro always had it open and didn't wear a shirt, it showed his muscular torso.
Personality#
Daigoro is described as "super funky", and has an energetic personality compared to other One For All users who are reserved in manner.
He was very proud of his given Quirk, referring to it as 'top grade'. He likes to tease his predecessor, Hikage Shinomori for being a hermit and was a senior colleague to his successor, En. Given that he resisted having One For All stolen by All For One, Daigoro presumably has an extremely strong willpower.
Abilities#
Overall Abilities: While the full extent of his abilities are unknown, Daigoro can be assumed to be a very strong and experienced Pro Hero, being a One For All vestige. However, he was not strong enough to defeat All For One and died at his hands during their battle.
Trained Muscles: Usage of One For All requires the user to have strong muscles, as One For All is a lot to handle and could cause the user's body to be blown apart if they don't possess the necessary strength of the body.
Indomitable Will: Daigaro has resisted All For One trying to steal One For All from him, twice, which demonstrates his incredible willpower.
Quirks#
Blackwhip: Daigoro's Quirk allowed him to create tendrils of black energy from his arms. These tendrils were excellent for grappling and increasing his mobility.[2]
One For All: Transferred to him from Hikage, Daigoro's second Quirk allowed him to stockpile an enormous amount of raw power, allowing him to significantly enhance all of his physical abilities to a superhuman level. This resulted in unbelievable levels of strength, speed, agility, and durability.[1]
