Synopsis#
Vs. Queen Bee Arc#
Rikiya is first seen after being injected with Trigger. He is seen on top of a tower causing chaos when Captain Celebrity arrives and defeats Rikiya in one punch. After Rikiya is defeated, Captain Celebrity spreads the word about the upcoming Naruhata Festival with some help by Ichimoku, Jube, and his entourage who toss flyers around.[2] Later after his defeat, Rikiya returned to normal.[1]

Big Monkey: Rikiya's Quirk is only seen under the effects of Trigger, in which he can transform into a giant ape.
Trivia#
- Rikiya's name contains the kanji for "monkey", "king", "power", and "to be".
- Rikiya's surname, Quirk, and appearance may be a reference to King Kong. The pose Rikiya appears in his debut chapter is a reference to an iconic King Kong scene.
- In the anime, Rikiya was replaced by a giant caterpillar, similar to how Eiji Okameda was replaced with a giant crab. Interestingly enough, the giant caterpillar resembles a classic Mothra larvae.
