Despite Hibiki's rather poor specs, there's still some things his profile is lacking. This will only be for Hibiki's profile starting off since he's the only Rider from this season with a profile. Let's get into it
Hitoshi Hidaka
Hitoshi Hidaka
- Street level (As one of the most seasoned Oni currently in service, it is Hibiki became an Oni training alone. Has surpassed all former Oni by being the first to wield the Armed Saber. Hibiki has a strong sense of ethics and believes constantly training oneself to keep up their strength. Throughout the series he is seen training by himself and with other Oni) [For further context, using the Armed Saber is a big deal considering it's seen as unusable by humans at first no matter how hard one would train, seeming as if synchronization would be impossible, but Hitoshi managed to train hard enough to use it]
- Vehicular Mastery (Despite previously being a poor driver, his special training allowed him to properly drive the Gaika)
- Preparation (Either before encountering or after a loss to a Makamou or it's Douji and Hime, Hitoshi will look over collected footage of his opponents and analyze how to fight them)
- Resistance to Power Nullification (The Armed Saber was at first too powerful for the Oni to use, taking away their powers to transform and utilize their powers. However, through hard training, Hitoshi regains the ability to become an Oni and can consistently wield the Armed Saber)
- Supersonic+ combat speed and reactions (Comparable to Ibuki, who could track and fire shots into a Makamou that flew at Mach 3)
- Purification (Type 2; Hibiki's Ongekibou and Ongekiko produce a cleansing sound in order to defeat Makamou)
- Statistics Amplification (It is possible for Hibiki to amplify the cleansing sound when using the Ongekiko Kaentsuzumi and the Ongekiko Bakuretsu Kaentsuzumi)
- Resistance to Mind Manipulation (Could fight up close with no issues against Nurikabe, who even prior to it's evolved state, produced a hypnotic pollen around itself in order to lure humans to feast on)
- Resistance to Acid Manipulation (The same acid used by a Bakegani, as well as it's Douji and Hime, could easily killed humans instantly on contact, but it only caused pain and a small injury for Hibiki)
- Stealth Mastery for Disk Animals (Disk Animals are known to assist the Oni in the field of reconnaissance)
- Flight for for the Akane Taka (The Akane Taka Disk Animal is capable of this)
- Resistance to Fire Manipulation (While transforming into Kurenai Hibiki, he was completely unaffected by Kasha’s flames, which are said to burn until its targets are turned to ash)
- Upgrade to High 8-C or 8-B
- In episode 32 of Hibiki (at 20:54) we see the Makamou known as Kamaitachi form tornado. In episode 33 (at 9:48), it does it again. It is stated that Kamaitachi creates tornados and storms. Admittedly, this tornado doesn't look too intense, so that's why I'm suggesting the low end rating for tornados. Only Armed Hibiki is strong enough to kill it. Armed Hibiki is already superior to Hibiki Kurenai who upscales Base Hibiki, so a higher Tier 8 rating makes sense, though I wouldn't know which end to go with if this is viable
- Henshin Onsa Onkaku: Hitoshi's transformation device. It's also used to activate his Disk Animals.
- Ongekiko Kaentsuzumi: A device that attaches on his belt for the usage of finisher attacks.
- Ongekiko Bakuretsu Kaentsuzumi: An enhanced version of the Ongekiko Kanetsuzumi
- Ongekibou Rekka: Hibiki's primary weapons. A pair of drumsticks that are used as clubs in combat, but still work as instrumental tools to perform finishers. Hibiki can also use the "Kibojutsu Rekkaken" technique to shoot fireballs from his Ongekibou and can even form flames in the shape of a sword to use against enemies.
- Armed Saber: Armed Hibiki's primary weapon. It's capable of growing to an incredible length formed of pure sound in order to deliver a long ranged cut to opponents, especially those of large size.
- Disk Animals: Hitoshi's support robots. When activated, they take the form of animals to assist Hitoshi with a variety of tasks, including being used in combat.
- Gaika: Hibiki's personal Rider Machine.
