A.N. — Remember how I said earlier this month that August's open dates would be taken up mostly by groupings? Well, today and tomorrow are such a pair. They're from Isamu Academy, but weren't shown participating in the Licensing Exam. What they were doing instead will be covered tomorrow. For now, it's time for student No. 1 to step up.

230. Dadan Tadan/Lucky Strike

Dadan Tadan was a timid, awkward boy, oddly proportioned and very self-conscious about it. But when ensconced in his very own mech suit, the hero smoldering within shone through.

Part of Dadan's unease came from his finicky quirk. He was tentative in everyday life, careful not to spark off his sweat. While in costume, though, that perspiration went into charging and shooting off missile barrages. Dadan still didn't like the idea of causing harm, but defending with an offense onslaught was his specialty. When armored up, Lucky Strike at least epitomized the bravery implicit in Isamu Academy's very name.
