Cloud Hedgehog - drunk on Hibari's extreme flame
The Cloud Hedgehog is a Cloud Box Weapon that possesses the ability of Propagation. It propagates all parts of its needle-covered back to use them as either weapons or foothold. By means of a strong flame, it can create an impervious dome that cannot be broken by normal attacks. It can also curl over his own body to form a sphere of needles and then propel itself forwards to attack targets at a distance, as if a projectile weapon.
Kyoya Hibari's original Box Weapon, during the fight between young Hibari and Genkishi, it became drunk with the large quantity of Flames that Hibari injected into its box. In that state, it accidentally hurt Hibari and the subsequent shock caused it to go out of control and rampage.
Abilities
- Propagation: By making use of the Cloud-attribute Propagation ability, it can absorb any Flames (including those of its opponent) and use them to either expand in size or multiply in numbers.
- Hermit Crab System:The armor around Roll can also be detached and used for various offensive and defensive maneuvers, such as swiftly creating a shield near Hibari.
- Needle Sphere Form (球針態): After being injected with strong Flames, the Cloud Hedgehog can form an airtight sphere around a target to entrap him.
- Reverse Needle Sphere Form (裏球針態): Creation of a completely segregated space that does not allow the presence of any other than two selected individuals. Even other Box Weapons are prevented from entering. Not only it requires strong Flames, but also a great quantity of oxygen is consumed during the formation of the dome and whatever is left inside of the segregated space will be quickly exhausted to maintain it.
Trivia
- Hibari doesn't call it by its name, but Kusakabe refers to it in his mind as "Barinezumi" (a portmanteau of Hibari and harinezumi, or hedgehog in Japanese).
