One day the Abegawa Tenchu Kai's headquarters are attacked by a single assailant, the vigilante Stendhal. The four present executives quickly activate their respective Quirks to battle the intruder. Soji, Tetsu, and Haruhisa simultaneously attack Stendhal, who is then forced to jump in order to dodge the barrage of attacks. Rojiya Yonenaga throws his manhole with a considerable amount of force at the vigilante. Stendhal, however, licks the blood samples of the four executives and thus paralyzes them with his Quirk. He then quickly finishes them off with one single slash, killing them.[1]

Trivia#
- Soji's character contains several references to Marvel's Thor, shown in his appearance.
- Soji's helmet features wing-looking patterns on its sides, reminiscent of Thor's winged helmet. He also used a sledgehammer in conjunction with his lightning-based Quirk, much like Thor using Mjolnir to summon and weaponize lightning.
- The first character in "Soji," "宗," is pronounced the same as the Japanese pronunciation of Thor's name, "Sō."
- The tattoo on his left shoulder is the character for "thunder," "雷," referencing Thor being the God of Thunder.
