His Heroic Ranking[]
What Makes Him Admirable?[]

- His determination and commitment to his goals can sometimes border on stubbornness. This can lead him to ignore advice or warnings from others, often resulting in precarious situations.
- He tends to bury his emotions, especially when it comes to personal matters or relationships. He often avoids confronting his feelings, preferring action and adventure over emotional introspection.
